Smoke a Lucky Instead of Over-Eating
CIGARET FIGHTING
Toledo News-Bee: Somewhere in Ohio a movement has started which seeks to have all cigaret packages labeled with skull and crossbones. Congress is to be asked to treat cigaret as poison and labeled accordingly.
This kind of fighting is a waste of power. With so many heavier evils confronting mankind, with so many things in this interesting world – fighting against, why bother with tobacco?
And doubtless as many people are seriously hurt by over-eating as over-smoking. Others are hurt by over-worry about trivial matters — such as smoking.

Ralph S. Bauer: Reform Mayor of Lynn
Lynn, Massachusetts postcard image from Jovike's photostream on flickr
— St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Mayor Bauer of Lynn has spoken. No more shall the woman smoker be seen in that town on stage or screen. The billboards have also been purged of the contaminating influence exercised by the pictorial cigaret and girl. And the ukase will, we are sure, be heartening to everybody who worries about the frailties and peccadilloes of other folks and thinks something ought to be done about it.
Obviously, the Mayor of Lynn is every inch a wowser; Lynn itself, once gay and grimy, has come upon the semi-retirement of "the city that was." Now its elegy may be written, in true wowserian strophe:
Here lies Lynn,
Sans gin, sans sin,
Sans Nicotin.
Decatur Herald (Decatur, Illinois) Oct 24, 1929
MAYOR BAUER'S REFORM.
Mayor Bauer of Lynn gets his name on the front pages of the newspapers again by issuing an ultimatum against bare-legged girls, but he would accomplish more as a reformer if he used a little quiet persuasion with school teachers and pupils.
We have failed to detect a grave menace in the fashion of bare sun-tanned legs. With all due regard to the sensitive nature of the fair sex, it must be said that most feminine legs are too imperfect in form and natural covering to permit of public display without artificial covering of some kind.
The bare-legged fashion will not get very far because most women have too much common sense to display the imperfections which are more conveniently concealed or minimized beneath sheer silk.
Fitchburg Sentinel (Fitchburg, Massachusetts) Oct 1, 1929
"The notions that were bred into being years and years ago are now being assaulted and turned topsy-turvy. Our social conduct is changing. We must admit that. Thirty or 40 years ago, if a flapper appeared on the street in the same costume she wears today, she would have been rushed to jail as fast as the smoke left her heels. Now no one cares about the flapper's dress except Mayor Bauer of Lynn.
Fitchburg Sentinel (Fitchburg, Massachusetts) Nov 23, 1929
Not yet can they put you in jail for wondering so we wonder what Mayor Bauer of Lynn is going to attempt after he has pulled off that recently announced determination to make the school teachers of his city, men and women alike, cut out tobacco. It might be as well to wait until he has made good on that ruling before thinking up the next play for front page position in the newspapers.
If the Lynn teachers are human beings, the mayor is likely enough going to find it harder to make them quit the smoking habit than it was to give his city a reduced tax rate. It will be more or less like enforcing the Volstead act.
Theoretically, it can be done, and the dry leaders can prove it. Actually, it has not yet been done, and the wet leaders say you can't prove it can be. Looking at it from a distance, it doesn't strike us as being any of the Lynn mayor's business if the school teachers wish to smoke, providing they do it in reason. We shouldn't say that the women teachers should smoke at any time, and not at all in public. But as for exercising that privilege in their own homes it is hard to see where the mayor has any particular call to get stuffy about it.
As to making the men teachers take the anti-nicotine pledge, he has accepted a real job if the male breed down that way is anything like normal. The joker in the cold deck which Mayor Bauer has picked up appears in the situation as it affects the pupils in the schools.
Mayor Bauer may conceivably make the school teachers as smokeless as he decrees, but we have a natural curiosity to know how he is going to make the boys and girls who go to school quit it. Not that we know whether the Lynn school girls smoke, but many of the boys do, unless down in Lynn boys are no longs boys. For which reason the pupils are going to snicker as they look at their poor hen-pecked teachers who dare not smoke for fear of losing their jobs. And you don't have to be a slave to nicotine to see the humor of the situation which Lynn's great reform mayor seeks to bring about.

Bone Dry or No Football Game
Lynn, Mass., Nov. 26. (AP) — Mayor Ralph S. Bauer saw so much drinking at the Harvard-Yale football game at Cambridge Saturday, he said, that he has ordered the Thanksgiving Day high school contest here to be bone dry or stopped.
Twelve thousand persons at the stadium for the Yale-Harvard contests, he estimated yesterday, were more interested in quart bottles and hip flasks than anything else. Many women "took a pull out of the bottles the same as the men," the Mayor said, and neither the police nor the faculty interfered.
The Rev. Garfield Morgan, pastor of the Center Congregational Church, according to the Mayor, was approached by some one in a big fur coat who said to him, "you look like an old timer, have a drink."
"Can this be the same Harvard of which the late President Eliot used to boast?" Mayor Bauer asked. "The factor that made her the dominant educational institution of our land was that she had been building men for nearly 300 years?"
On the Mayor's order, the police chief will station fifty patrolmen and sergeants on duty Thursday at the Lynn-English classical high game with orders to arrest all persons who drink and to stop the game if drinking becomes serious.
Kingston Daily Freeman (Kingston, New York) Nov 26, 1929
Mayor Bauer, of Lynn, addressing a meeting of the Women's Republican club at Cambridge, Mass., this week, said there were about 4,000 too many municipal employes in Boston and that he could discharge all of them without one being missed. "All city governments are 'good fellow' governments," the mayor told his audience. "Public officials feel they have got to get jobs for their constituents and they don't care whether there exists a job or not."

"THE NAKED TRUTH."
"The Naked Truth" which is now showing at the Park theatre has caused considerable comment and discussion recently in Boston and Lynn, Mass. The Mayor of Boston, refused permission to present the film to Bostonians, and immediately upon taking this stand, Mayor Bauer of Lynn viewed the film and passed on it as a good and proper picture, bearing a message of beneficial value to the community and permitted the Lynn Auditorium to show the film for four weeks to record-breaking crowds. The film is featured by an all-star cast supported by Jack Mulhall and Helene Chadwick. This is the first showing of the film in this vicinity. "The Naked Truth" is to the point and calls a spade a spade.

DOGS MAY ROAM
LYNN, Mass., — Dec. 14. — (By The Associated Press.) — By proclamation of Mayor Bauer, dogs are assured the freedom of the streets if they do not make nuisances of themselves nor obstruct traffic like some political aspirants do. The more he sees of men, the more respect the mayor has for dogs. The proclamation was issued after state authorities urged that stray dogs be rounded up and killed because of the spread of rabies.

Mayor of Lynn
Ralph Sherman Bauer
Image from NOBLE Digital Heritage
The following biographical information (from Descendants of HANS MICHAEL BAUER, (BOWER)) tells of Mayor Bauer "pulling himself up by the bootstraps" and making a life for himself:
Notes for RALPH SHERMAN BOWER:
His father died when he was only seven years old. Even at that extremely early age he became the main support of a family consisting of his mother and three sisters, the youngest a nursing baby. The family then living in Philadelphia and it was there that Ralph S. Bauer began his career in the newspaper business. The result of his first day's sales as a "newsie" was cents. From that time on, every dollar he has ever had has been made by his own business ability. During the first 15 years of his life, there was no kind of human poverty this family did not face, and through it all, held together as a family and received such education as could be obtained under such circumstances.
When Ralph Bauer, yet in his teens, determined to exchange the environment of Philadelphia for cultured Boston, his [wealth] when he landed amounted to 27 cents. Many were the hours of loneliness that were his, with neither kith nor kin nearer than the PA metropolis. Many were the night he slept on a Boston Common bench with the star-studded blue dome of the heavens above, his only coverlet. Oft were dreams rudely disturbed by the smart blow of a patrolman's night-stick on the thin soles of his tattered shoes. Always with warm appreciation will remained his memory of one of Boston's guardians of the peace, who drew from him the tale of his struggles for existence. Never will he forget the warmth of the coat the officer tucked about his lusty body while he promised to rouse him from his slumbers in time to get his share of the profits from the early morning edition of the Herald. True to his word the officer awakened the sleeping lad and provided him with a good hot breakfast. If that man is still alive today Ralph Bauer would like to know his whereabouts, for he has never forgotten his kindness to a little lonely lad in a great city, far from his lived ones. He was graduated from the Boston Latin school and immediately thereafter obtained a position in the mailing department of the Boston Herald.

Circling Through My Ruddy Nose
TOBACCO.
HAIL, Tobacco, queen of flowers,
Solace of my lonely hours,
Fume that fuddles as it flows,
Circling through my ruddy nose.
Let others boast of joys of soul
That kindle o'er the flowing bowl,
Or fancy raptures, as they sip
Balmy, sweets from Lesbia's lip;
Sweeter far the fume that flows,
Vulgar souls may deem that noses
Were only made for smelling roses;
Smokers, true to nature's plan,
Feel the dignity of man,
And use their nose as a stack o'
Chimnies to expel tobacco
Herb divine for thee shall rise
Clouds of incense to the skies;
O'er thy notaries' brains shall flit
Many a sooter kin of wit,
And noses yet unborn shall shine
With radiance luminous as mine.
Whether from hooker, pipe or quill
Thy fumes ascend, I love thee still,
Whatever shape thou deign'st to wear,
Long-cut, short-cut, shag, segar,
There's not a whiff of thee but goes
A short or long cut thro my nose.

Smoking Monkeys and the Bard's Gaudeamus
Image from http://www.myartprints.com
Lines on Man.
Way back in those archaic days when time for man got ripe,
A tailless ape set on a tree and smoked a penny pipe,
And as he smoked, lo, thought began.
He knew that he enjoyed,
(Be not surprised at this — you see, that ape was anthropoid.)
Thus thought began, and thought is all that makes a man;
So be it known that thus in smoke the human race begain.
But mark how in a circle move all sublunary things;
Events, like smoke, resolve themselves into expanding rings;
And as the monkey's pipe made thought, and thought created man,
The cigarette shall take him back to just where he began.
The News (Frederick, Maryland) Jun 20, 1891
Don't believe the naysayers, these people have irrefutable proof that smoking is good for your health!
ON SMOKING ROOMS.
From the Augusta Medical Journal.
It may be interesting to our readers to learn that the London Lancet, probably the greatest medical authority in the world, strongly advocated smoking tobacco in rooms, especially damp ones, in order to kill the bacilli, microbes and disease germs therein abounding. Very few rooms are free from these unwelcome visitors, but their virulence can be destroyed or lessened by tobacco smoke. It is especially deadly to the microbes of catarrh and diphtheria, which are so frequently found in damp rooms. We take occasion to recommend this to professors and students in colleges, and to all who are engaged in any indoor sedentary occupation. Statistics have irrefutably proved, time and time again, that smokers enjoy a longer and healthier life than non-smokers; a fact which our own observation of life around us leads us to believe. We warmly advocate, then, indoor smoking.

The Bard's Gaudiamus.
And now that Summer soft and sweet
Has in its gentle zephyr wound us,
And by its tender charms complete
So dearly to itself has bound us.
I sit me at the foot of day
All merged into the twilight's witching.
And watch the fire-fly at its play,
With brilliant sparks the dusk enriching;
And with the smoke of my cigar
I fashion forth a thousand fancies,
That bear me near or bear me far —
Now upward with ambition's glances,
Now to the quiet wooded nooks,
Now by the ocean's foaming surges,
Now to the memory of my books,
Now here, now there, where humor urges;
Now to a dream of one fair face —
Ah, eyes of blue so strangely luring'
And then — Well, then, dear God of Grace,
Why mayn't this last be all enduring'
But far beyond the smoke's faint ends,
Whose mists do not my vision mar,
I see a group of my good friends
And thank them much for this cigar.
— The Bentztown Bard.
The News (Frederick, Maryland) Jul 9, 1891
I guess the Bentztown Bard was not happy with the above impersonator.
Now, isn't it truly awful
That somebody, anxious for fame,
Should in a manner unlawful
Write masculine verse in my name!
And with it, O, shades of the South!
Should boldly and to a degree
Put a cigar into the mouth
Of a delicate lady like me!
–The Bentztown Bard.

Haunted Sites: The Cursed Building of Tres Forques
Psychic Sibyl May 8, 2019 5:54 pm May 8, 2019 2632
Today I'm bringing you a new article about haunted places. This time, we will be speaking about a building that is considered cursed by many. The building sitting at 1 Tres Forques Street in Valencia, Spain.
The dark history of this building started in 1968 with the death of famed vedette Gracia Imperio and her partner in dubious circumstances. From then on, the building started to accumulate suspicious deaths in all kinds of strange circumstances, being its latest victim in 2015.
During a little over 40 years, a total of nine deaths has taken place in the building. While the number of deaths is not particularly alarming, it is the fact that these deaths have occurred in suspicious circumstances or have been of a criminal or violent nature.
One of the most spine-chilling cases, is the one in which two kids, aged 5 and 6 at the time of the incident, fell down the window while allegedly jumping on the bed. The building has also been the stage of two murders and several suicides.
Many insist that there is nothing unusual about the building, while others who live there or in the surroundings, declare that the sole sight of this building gives them the heebie-jeebies. There have been neighbors of the building who have declared that they have seen shadows or heard screams and steps in the building.
What is behind this amount of tragic events?
Well, the building was first built in 1957, the same year in which the city of Valencia was flooded, causing the death of a little over 80 people in the area in which the building was built. A few centuries before, that part of the city had been used as a mass burial when the plage and an outburst of cholera assaulted the city of Valencia in the XVII century.
Some parapsychologists that have visited the area, declared that there was an intense activity, particularly noticeable in sudden changes of temperature. Most agree that the tragic imprint that is left in the area may have to do with the "curse" that seems to plague the building.
Truth or attention-seeking technique?
As it happens in all cases of hauntings, the 1st of Tres Forques Street causes curiosity and skepticism. Regardless of how much truth there is behind the strange events that have happened in the building over the years and its possible supernatural cause, it is a fact that the 1st of Tres Forques Street is ranked as one of the buildings that have hosted more violent deaths in the whole country of Spain.
What do you think about this strange building? Are there any other allegedly haunted sites that you would like to see an article about? Leave your thoughts in the comments and let me know what you like!

Denise Zartman says:
I would Love it if you could finance me with a Paranormal team of investigators (who fund themselves) to go to Spain and investigate the the building. ??
Sibyl says:
I'm afraid that all I can fund at this time is a bunch of cats that I have! But it would be really interesting! There are a few videos by spanish paranormal investigators about the building, but I don't think they've been translated to english!
Blanca says:
I would like to see an article that a read back in early 1990's about a the ghost woman that had to appeared to some people including me. I read the article published by the Daily news. I misplaced the newspaper. The ghost woman roaming around the San Fernando Mission in the San Fernando Valley in California, she was called the " Cat Woman"; due to real live cats that follow her while she roams the mission.
That's impressive! I would love to write about a first-hand testimony of such event!
IT is possible there is a burial ground..at or below the building.
Definitely believe that energy goes on forever.
It could be some souls are trapped and do not know a way out.
Marina Andrade says:
Cool, thank you for the story.
without knowing the history of the building and upon first seeing the picture it did not feel welcoming to me. Did not feel good or bad. After hearing the history it seemed a bit more foreboding.
Being that this building was built on a burial ground and all the deaths following the flood the year it was built I would definitely understand why there would be spirit activity there. I personally would have no desire to even enter that building.
Tony Casillas says:
Thank you for the message!

Hooray for Hollywood
By staff November 1, 2003
I couldn't even act dignified. I was riding around Los Angeles in the back of a cab, fidgeting with unthrottled excitement, snapping a million photos out the window like a tourist-fool, click, click, click. And I actually found myself with the proverbial urge to stop and pinch myself. This is why: Hollywood had just sent for me.
My fifth comic Florida novel, The Stingray Shuffle, was hitting the bookstores, and I was hitting the book tour. Meanwhile my agents had just sold the movie rights to the series of books, starting with Florida Roadkill. Who would have guessed it would get this far when, in 1999, I introduced Serge A. Storms, possibly the only lovable serial killer in the whole publishing business? Serge is a devotee of Florida history, which he likes to recite to the state's despoilers before dispatching them.
So now the powers that be had flown me out to L.A. for several book signings and to "take meetings" with the movie people. I had spent 15 years in the newspaper business and had gone to lots and lots of meetings. This was the first time I'd be taking them. They told me this was good. Everything was paid for. People were nice to me.
Something was really wrong.
I had the sensation that a big, surrealistic cane was about to reach out from offstage, grab me around the neck-"Okay, you impostor, let's go"- and yank me out of this dream. So that's what my camera was for. I was going to make a photographic record of this trip before the whole cosmic mistake was discovered. Then someday I could show my future grandchildren. ("And this here, this was the day back in '03 when I took meetings.") Click, click, click.
I arrive at my movie agent's suite in a high-rise on the Sunset Strip. The tower holds the offices of all kinds of famous film people, like Tobey McGuire. The receptionist tells me the names of some of the other celebrities but I don't remember them because I am all tingly the whole time, just sitting and smiling in the lobby, nodding and glancing at all the autographed movie posters on the wall.
I also keep my mouth shut. That's how I'd decided to play it-create an air of mystery, come off as the silent enigmatic type, as opposed to the complete imbecile.
The receptionist says I can go in. The agent comes out from around his desk, extending a hand to shake.
"You wore a suit," he says.
I smile and nod. What the hell does he mean by that?
"You're the writer," he adds, grinning. "You could have worn anything."
He sees the question in my eyes. "Writers are expected to be cool. They can dress down and wear grunge if they want. That's what the directors do. Directors are the worst-dressed people in this town. Especially the female directors. They want respect, so they dress as bad as possible on purpose- baggy stuff, no makeup-to identify with the crew. 'See? I'm no better than you. And I'm here to work.' But you're the writer; you could have worn anything. And the fact that you could have worn anything and still wore a suit is actually even cooler."
I smile and nod.
"Let's go to lunch."
We eat at a Beverly Hills hamburger joint with tasseled menus and giant red leather chairs. He tells me Florida is hot now. He explains the deal they've put together for me, with about a gazillion contingencies that kick in for overseas distribution and sequels and spin-offs and action figures and if there's a total lunar eclipse in Paraguay, and I'm getting woozy.
We get back to the office. He checks his watch and stops at the receptionist's desk. "Get Tim a cab. They're expecting him at the studio in 30 minutes."
He turns to me. "It's important that you sell yourself to these people. But you're the writer, so you really don't have to sell yourself."
He shakes my hand. "You'll do great."
The cab whisks me across town. I get out my camera. Click, click, click.
Suddenly, I'm at the studio. I'm in an elevator. I'm sitting in a suite on the fourth floor. I'm on a long, plush couch. Two executives are facing me in chairs, a good 15 feet away, nothing between us but an expanse of carpet. One is in a suit, like an accountant. The other is in a T-shirt and looks like he just came from the gym. Behind them, the whole wall is a giant, tinted plate-glass window overlooking the Hollywood Hills. I'm getting lightheaded.
The executives lean forward and smile at me bigger than people have ever smiled at me in my life, and I'm not sure whom this is a reflection on. They start telling jokes about Florida and laughing and leaning toward me even more, as if I were the source of the jokes. That's when it hits me. I'm the writer. I'm funny just sitting here.
I smile and nod. They lean back in their chairs and laugh.
Back to the hotel. I take a shower. The phone's ringing when I get out.
It's my agent. "Just talked to the studio. Heard the meeting went well. They said you were funny."
I head down the stairs. Two young producers are waiting for me in the hotel lobby. They're the ones who discovered the books a couple of years ago and got the whole ball rolling. We're going to dinner.
I climb in their car and we head up the Sunset Strip, past Chateau Marmont where John Belushi bought it, to a chic bistro that is some kind of gene splice of a Dolly Parton Wild West theme saloon and the alien bar in the first Star Wars. We order drinks and wait for a table while people from the pages of Vanity Fair are thrown around the room by a mechanical bull.
I've known these two for a while now, and we've become friends. In other words, they already know I'm an idiot, so no point in the quiet man act. Besides, I enjoy talking to these two. They say sentences that I never hear in my Florida circles. Like: "I've got to stop dating actresses. They're all neurotic."
They tell me I ought to stop in and check out SkyBar, up at the Mondrain, where the big stars hang.
I tell them I heard it was almost impossible to get in.
They say it is, except they know a real easy way to get in every time. "You go with a super model."
See what I mean? My peeps in Sarasota don't talk like this.
So I chuckle, and say, right, where you gonna find a super model?
They just smile back; the mechanical bull sends a super model flying behind me.
Now, confession time. The rights the studio bought for my book are called the "option," which means it's up against about 20 other options for that one coveted slot to actually get made. Which means it most likely will never see the light of day. And that's okay. At least I'll have the memories of this trip, which will probably be the high point of my life, mechanical bull, airborne Claudia Schiffer and all. I hand the camera to our waitress. "Can you take a picture of us for my grandchildren?"
The following morning: rise and shine, book signing day. I'm met in the hotel lobby by my "media escort." The "media escorts" are local liaisons who know everyone in the publishing biz and make sure you get everywhere you need to be. They drive you around for impromptu appearances at a half dozen bookstores over the course of the day before heading to the big, scheduled event that evening. Since this is Hollywood, my media escort also used to play Douglas Brackman's low-life brother on L.A. Law. He tells me stories about his friend Joe Pantoliano from The Sopranos as we drive to a nearby Borders, where the store representative played the wife of an FBI agent in a made-for-TV movie starring Michael Gross and David Soul. That's what L.A. is like all the time.
These impromptu visits are an important public relations tool. In Florida, they go over big. A store in Fort Myers or Ocala is very appreciative to have authors make surprise appearances. In L.A., just the opposite, the other edge of the knife. While the writer is king to the movie people, in bookstores they practically outnumber the customers.
We walk into a store in Santa Monica. There's a pile of freshly signed books by someone who made a surprise appearance just a few hours before me. Mariel Hemingway. We head across the store to find the manager. My escort leans over and says they get actors in these stores all the time, three or four a week.
We find the manager and an assistant. We shake hands. For some reason, they don't seem as warm as the store folks back in Florida. Next to Mariel Hemingway, I'm like some guy who just farted.
We drop by more stores in Pasadena, Orange County, Venice Beach ("Fred Ward was just in. You know, Gus Grissom from The Right Stuff"?). We're leaving and something catches my eye. "Hey, take a look at that guy," I say to my escort, pointing at some weirdo standing perfectly still in the middle of the road with a plastic trash bag over his head.
"What?" he says with a chuckle. "You find that strange?"
"No," I say. "Finally something that reminds me of Florida."

Farmwives 2
An Inspiring Look at the Lives of the New Canadian Farmwives
by Billi J Miller
In January 2016, Billi J Miller launched her first published book (a four-and-a-half year labour of love) celebrating "traditional" farmwives (between the ages of fifty-five and ninety) for their remarkable contributions to their families, farms, and to the wider scope of Canadian heritage. Farmwives in Profile: 17 Women, 17 Candid Questions about their Lives, Photos & Recipes has been hailed a "gem" for its candid stories, delicious straight-from-the-farm-kitchen recipes, and Miller's timeless photographs of the women.
Now it's the "next generations" turn. Farmwives 2: An Inspiring Look at the Lives of the New Canadian Farmwives is the highly anticipated follow-up that hones in on women in their twenties to fifties. This time, Miller interviews women from across the country— from British Columbia all the way to Newfoundland—broadening not only the look at Canada's family farms but, women's perspectives on this evolving role.
"Farmwives 2" is loaded with all-new recipes, many more inspiring interviews, and features a special "Food for Thought" section filled with input by professionals you won't want to miss. Miller says she walked into this life eight years ago with no guidebook other than very traditional farmwives all around her, and a feeling in her gut that told her she had to make her life her own. This book is packed with interviews and stories from inspiring women from across Canada who are doing that very thing.

En 2017, elle a été honorée par la ville d'Amsterdam lorsqu'un pont-canal a été renommé en son honneur.

Biographie
Bet van Beeren est née le  dans le quartier Jordaan d'Amsterdam de Maria Johanna (née Brants) et Johannes Hendrik van Beeren. Elle était la fille aînée et l'un des treize enfants du couple. Son père travaillait dans les travaux publics, sa mère dirigeait une pension de famille et livrait du poisson et des légumes dans le quartier. Son éducation s'est terminée au collège parce que sa famille avait besoin d'elle pour travailler.

Elle est allée travailler dans une conserverie sur la Haarlemmerweg, y a été promue contremaître, mais elle n'a pas aimé ce travail dangereux. Elle a perdu deux doigts en travaillant et après une bagarre avec son patron, elle a démissionné et est allée travailler pour son oncle à son pub, Amstelstroom, où elle avait précédemment travaillé à temps partiel Elle parcourait la ville en vêtements de cuir sur sa moto et a vendu du poisson. En 1927, elle a acheté le bar avec des prêts de la brasserie Oranjeboom et par la suite, a toujours été fidèle à cette marque de bière, bien que d'autres brasseries aient tenté d'obtenir son patronage. Il était très inhabituel pour une femme de posséder une entreprise à ce moment-là, en particulier dans le quartier de la digue où elle était située. Elle a renommé le pub,  (Le Café du panier) parce que sa mère apportait la nourriture tous les jours dans un panier.

Elle dirigeait un établissement ouvert où les lesbiennes et les gais pouvaient librement venir tant qu'il n'y avait pas de baisers échangés, ce qui aurait violé les lois et lui aurait coûté son permis de vente d'alcool. Sa clientèle mixte comprenait des artistes, des intellectuels, des proxénètes et des prostituées, des marins et le major Bosshardt, le chef de l'Armée du Salut qui la désapprouvait. Van Beeren était flamboyante, aimant être sous les projecteurs, et souvent vêtue d'un costume de marin ou de cuir, divertissant ses clients avec du chant et de la danse. Elle était ouvertement lesbienne, même si elle appréciait les hommes riches qui pouvaient apporter de la viande ou des pâtisseries sur la table familiale. Elle buvait beaucoup, certains rapports faisaient état de 40 bouteilles de bière par jour, et pouvait jurer comme un marin.

Gagnant beaucoup d'argent, Bet van Beeren était connue pour ses œuvres caritatives, aidant les pauvres, les enfants et les personnes âgées. Elle a également affirmé avoir payé pour l'une des croix au sommet de la Basilique Saint-Nicolas d'Amsterdam. Parmi ses autres actes légendaires, elle a autorisé le bar à être utilisé comme dépôt d'armes pour la résistance néerlandaise pendant l'occupation allemande des Pays-Bas. Alors que les hommes homosexuels étaient devenus la cible des Allemands, le pub de Bet Van Beeren était interdit aux troupes allemandes en raison de sa réputation d'établissement de « quartier rouge ». L'utilisation du terme uil (chouette) pour les hétérosexuels a été attribue à un stratagème utilisé par Bet van Beeren lorsque le bar était perquisitionné ou lorsque des patrouilles homophobes balayaient la zone. Elle a fait installer une lumière dans une chouette en plâtre, qui était allumée pour avertir ses clients. Elle a accroché des cravates et des souvenirs de clients du plafond, a organisé des danses le jour de la reine où les couples de même sexe pouvaient danser ensemble, et le vendredi, laissait le groupe de l'Armée du Salut entrer pour collecter des fonds.

Bet Van Beeren est décédée d'une maladie du foie le 16 juillet 1967. Elle est restée allongée sur le billard du pub pendant plusieurs jours avant son enterrement le 20 juillet à la  à Amsterdam. Greet, la sœur cadette de van Beeren, a continué d'exploiter l'entreprise jusqu'en 1982, date à laquelle elle l'a fermée en raison de l'expansion du commerce de l'héroïne dans la région. Certains éléments du bar ont été incorporés au Musée d'Amsterdam en 1998, mais pour la plupart, le bâtiment est resté intact jusqu'à ce que Greet, peu de temps avant sa mort, le vende à sa nièce, Diana van Laar, qui a achevé la rénovation du pub et l'a rouvert le 2 avril 2008. En 2017, un pont enjambant le canal Oudezijds Achterburgwal entre les rues Korte Stormsteeg et Korte Niezel a été renommé à l'occasion du 90e anniversaire du pub pour honorer Bet van Beeren dans une représentation symbolique des ponts qu'elle avait jeté entre les divers groupes de la communauté.

Marks and Spencer hires Tesco man as MD for clothing and home
Published Friday 22 November 2019 3:39 pm
M&S, Marks and Spencer, Michelle Mooney
Marks and Spencer has appointed Richard Price, currently chief executive of F&F Clothing at Tesco, as MD of its clothing and home division.
Chief executive Steve Rowe said: "We are building a team of world class talent in Clothing & Home and, with Richard coming on board, I am confident that the speed and scale of the transformation of the business will accelerate."
Price will join M&S next year and a start date will be confirmed in due course.
Earlier this month, Marks and Spencer blamed supply chain issues for a 5.5 per cent fall in clothing and home sales during the first half of its financial year.
Rowe has been leading the division since July following the departure of Jill McDonald after two years as managing director.
Price was previously at M&S between 2008 and 2012, when he was head of merchandise and menswear trading director. He said: "I left the business because I felt it was drifting in the wrong direction but now feel we have a real chance to make it special again."

Irish Last Names Beginning With N (With Meanings)
November 23, 2022 July 23, 2022 by Margaret O'Brien
Are you interested in the origins and meaning of an Irish last name that begins with N?
This article lists Irish surnames that had birth registrations in early 20th century Ireland and also appear in the 2010 American census.
We'll also give the origins and meanings of the most popular names.
Most Common Irish Surnames Starting With N
Origins And Meanings Of Irish Surnames Starting With N
More About The Anglicization Of Irish Surnames
Other Irish Last Names From 1923 To 1932
Index To Other Letters
Let's start with Irish names that had at least two hundred births in Ireland between 1923 and 1932.
We've also included how many people had the name in the 2010 U.S. census.
Here is a summary of the numbers. We'll explain the origins and meanings in the next section.
Last Name Irish Births 1923-32 US Census 2010
Nolan 2,882 46,054
Noonan 637 13,286
Naughton 577 5,264
Nugent 557 15,977
Neill 410 9,404
Neary 366 4,844
Noone 339 2,820
Nagle 312 10,963
Neville 271 11,739
Nevin 236 3,101
Why take Irish birth registrations from 1923 to 1932?
The second column is the number of Irish birth registrations over ten years starting in 1923.
The reason I chose that start date was that the Republic of Ireland was established the previous year. Starting in 1923 excluded birth locations in Northern Ireland.
Otherwise, I would have a lot of work filtering out English and Scottish names for this list.
Names in the U.S. census
Bear in mind that many names have different origins and are from different regions.
So, one Nugent family may be the descendants of Irish ancestors. But other families may descend from English ancestors with different origins.
Let's run through the origins and meanings of these top names.
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Nualláin. I explain "Anglicization" more fully in a later section.
Here, I'll simply say that it's a way of taking an old Gaelic surname and turning it into a name that sounds or seems English.
The "Ó" in Ó Nualláin means "descendant of", so this name means the descendant of Nuallán.
So, what does Nuallán mean? The meaning comes from the Irish word for a famous noble (nuall).
The syllable at the end is the diminutive. So, when used as a personal or first name, it represented a younger family member of a well-known and highly regarded person (famous noble).
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Nuanáin or descendant of Ionmhain.
The meaning comes from an Irish word for beloved.
Naughton
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Neachtain, or descendant of Neachtan.
The meaning comes from Irish words for bright and pure.
The Rev Patrick Woulfe wrote in 1923 that an O'Neachtain family were chiefs of territory near Loughrea in County Galway.
Nugent
This name is also an early name in England. The Irish and English name comes from Norman origins.
The Norman name was conferred on people from towns in Northern France with "Nogent" as part of the placename. Nogent-sur-Eure is one example.
The name was brought to England through the Norman Conquest, and later into Ireland with the Anglo-Norman Invasion of 1169.
Norman Knight
This is a variant of O'Neill, by simply dropping the O.
Both variants are Anglicized forms of the Gaelic name Ó'Néill, or descendant of Niall.
The meaning comes from an Old Irish word for a warrior or champion (niadh).
Some of the most prominent and powerful families in Ireland bore this name.
One of these clans are the descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary king whose reign was from 379 to 405 (according to later texts).
His descriptive name comes from his practice of ensuring loyalty from conquered districts by taking hostages.
O'Neill is now a very common name across Ireland. Many claim descent from Niall of the Nine Hostages, although there were separate clans of the same name as well.
Neary
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Náradhaigh, or descendant of Náradhach.
The meaning comes from the Irish word for modest or noble.
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Nuadhan, or descendant of Nuadha.
Nuadha is the mythical first king of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a pre-Christian set of supernatural beings.
He lost an arm in a great battle with the Fir Bolg (another mythical people). At first, he bore a replacement arm made of silver. Eventually he acquired a new arm of flesh.
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac an Óglaigh, or "son of the soldier".
"Mac an" means "son of", while "óglaoch" refers to a soldier.
The origins of this name are Norman, as with the same name found in England. The early Norman bearers came from places such as Néville in Normandy in northern France.
The name arrived in England with the Norman Conquest and later in Ireland with the Anglo-Norman Invasion in 1169.
This is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Naoimhín. or son of Naoimhín.
The meaning comes from the Irish word for a saint (naomh). The second syllabile is the diminutive. So, the full family name means son of the little saint.
You'll find it easier to understand how Irish families changed their names with a bit more background.
The use of surnames in Ireland dates back to the tenth century. Children adopted the first name of their father and prefixed it with "Mac" or "O", which means "son" and "descendent of".
These names were in the Gaelic language.
In later centuries when Ireland was under British rule, the use of the Gaelic language was curbed.
This led to the Irish making their names look and sound more English i.e. Anglicization.
The simplest way was to drop the O and Mac in front of a name.
Another way was to pick the nearest sounding English name.
The third way was to pick an English name that has the same meaning as the Gaelic name. The two names may sound completely different.
We've covered the meanings and origins of the most common names in Ireland through the 1920s.
Here are the other names. Remember that many of these names were brought to America from different regions where they had different meanings.

Republic Airways raises $415K at annual Plane Pull to grant wishes for terminally ill Indiana children
Scott Thien
Photo provided by Republic Airways
Simply put, it just keeps getting bigger and better. Last month, Republic Airways' annual Pulling for Wishes Plane Pull , held April 23 at the Indianapolis Maintenance Center, was a record-setting event on two fronts – 50 registered pull teams and more than $415,000 raised in donations and team fees to benefit the Indiana Children's Wish Fund (ICWF). Since 2011, the Company has raised more than $1.4 million for the nonprofit group, which grants wishes like vacations and celebrity visits to seriously or terminally ill children.
With an average cost of $6,000 per wish, this year's Plane Pull will help grant dozens of wishes for ICWF, organizers said.
"It was great day, and it just warms my heart to see Republic Associates pull together for such a fantastic event," said Amy Chiappe, Director of Inflight and Republic's lead organizer for the event. "The community support and our sponsors were tremendous – we couldn't have done it without them."
Defending champs LIDS Foundation, Inc. of Indianapolis took home the top prize of 10 roundtrip domestic airfare tickets from American Airlines with a finals pull time of 7.66 seconds. The opponent: a 40-ton American E175 aircraft. Last year, a LIDS team recorded a finals pull time of 6.59 seconds – a record that still stands. Prizes also were awarded for the most raffle tickets sold, best costume and team raising the most money.
The Plane Pull is dedicated to the memory of Tyler Frenzel, a Carmel, Ind., boy who suffered from leukemia and passed away in 2004. Tyler's wish to visit Disney World was granted by ICWF.
Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford got in on the action and joined a ceremonial pull team featuring Indianapolis Colts linebacker Robert Mathis, Colts cheerleaders, local sports media reporters, and kids from the Indiana Children's Wish Fund. Other celebrities on hand included Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, whose aviation program flew in two aircraft for display, and former All-Star pro baseball player Scott Rolen, a longtime supporter of ICWF. As the pull teams battled it out, the kids zone was buzzing with activity with a dizzying array of attractions, including a bounce house, arts and crafts, face-painting, bean-bag toss, balloon animals, stilt walkers and clowns.
An exclusive live auction dinner hosted by Robert Mathis added to the fundraising bottom line with bids for a Tito's Vodka guitar, signed by Tito himself, luggage, jewelry, autographed memorabilia, wines and a golf package with Masters champion Fuzzy Zoeller.
Of course, an event of this magnitude wouldn't be possible without the teamwork of countless employees and support from Republic's Executive and Leadership teams.
"This reason this event is so successful – and why Republic is such a great company – is the generosity, drive for perfection and passion of our Associates," Amy said.
Next year's Plane Pull is tentatively scheduled for late April 2017. More about the event is at www.rjet.com.

Our family had a great experience at Jekyll's Kitchen in Chagrin Falls and Chef Alan was quite helpful. The restaurant was able to cook safely for our child with Egg and Dairy allergies and all it took was a call during a non-peak time for the Chef to get on the phone. The process was clear and his understanding of cross-contamination and what needed to occur was perfect. Most importantly the kids had a great meal of" homemade" chicken nuggets and french fries while looking over the falls!!
808 Shave Ice has Non dairy frozen treats!!! Flavors are all natural. Will do glove change when asked. Very positive experience. A place we could all eat at. They boast being allergy friendly. Check out their website allergy section for details.
The workers at Mitchell's are always very accommodating of my nut allergy. I always tell them I have an allergy right away and with no hesitation, they will go to the back for a new scooper. They will also scoop your ice cream from a brand new container.
We eat at Maggiano's all the time and they are great! The chef comes to the table to discuss the food options and takes the order of the individual(s) with the allergies. They are very accommodating and friendly. They always make my son very special and we enjoy eating there. We have had similar experiences in other Maggiano's across the country. (Peanut, Egg, Dairy & Gluten).
Dairy Queen has been great for our nut and peanut allergies. We always mention the allergies, and they take care not to put our order near the nuts. The machine only has chocolate and vanilla flavors. FYI, they make and package their own ice cream bars and cakes there, so the employee there said that if we give them a heads up they can package the items on a clean surface/take care. Very friendly!


Joey Votto steals a hit from #Brewers Gerardo Parra with diving play in 2nd. Would have been #Brewers first XBH since Friday.
#Brewers are now at 20 innings and counting without an extra-base hit. Eleven singles over that stretch with one walk and one HBP.
#Peralta with a scoreless third inning. With these two offenses, shouldn't take many runs to win this game.
We are through three innings of #Brewers vs. Reds and score is 0-0. Anyone who is surprised, welcome back from Mars.
Lind doubles through vacated 3B hole for #Brewers first extra base hit since ninth inning Friday in Pittsburgh. 22 innings.
Adam Lind inside-outs a double down the LF line in the fourth. The streak is over.
#Brewers Wily Peralta and Reds Anthony DeSclafani battling hard to not fall hopelessly behind, 1-0.
With runners going, #Brewers RHP Wily Peralta pops up bunt for inning-ending double play to end 5th. Still 0-0. Might go to arm wrestling.
Reds have best scoring chance yet with two on (single by Votto, walk to Frazier) and no outs against #Brewers Peralta in 6th.
Jay Bruce follows with single to center as Reds load bases in 6th with no outs. Going to be hard for #Brewers to keep this at 0-0.
Marlon Byrd grounds into 5-2 out at plate. Now #Brewers can escape inning by getting Pena to ground into double play.
Instead, Pena crushes sacrifice fly to deep center and Reds have 1-0 lead over #Brewers in 6th.
Jay Bruce gets smoked by foul ball off bat of Cozart coming down 3B line. Looks like it got him between legs. Now a soprano.
That was Bruce, not Frazier, who got smoked in bad place.
Zack Cozart crushes two-strike pitch from Peralta way out to LF for two-run homer to make it 4-0. Must seem like 40-0 to #Brewers.
And #Brewers go down in order in 6th. They have two hits and trail 4-0.
#Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy is out of game. Was hit on left toe by foul pitch in sixth. What next for this team?
In last two innings, Reds have hit one less homer than #Brewers have for the season.
We are told #Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy left game with "left foot injury." No details yet but team isn't having much luck these days.
ERA for #Brewers starting rotation is now 5.96. Ranks last among 30 major league clubs. Boston improved to 5.93 today.
We go to ninth at Miller Park with Reds leading #Brewers, 6-0.
Perhaps new pace of play rules should be explained to #Brewers. It doesn't mean you're not allowed to have rallies.
#Brewers forced to use closer Francisco Rodriguez just to get him some work. Hadn't pitched since last Monday in St. Louis.
Ryan Braun homers with one out in 9th inning for his first XBH of the year. #Brewers still trail 6-1. Braun has 231 HRs, 2nd on club list.
#Brewers lose to Reds, 6-1, dropping their sixth consecutive game. Have scored 10 runs in those six games.
#Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Jonathan Lucroy's foot injury is a fractured left toe. Juan Centeno coming up.
We were given no timetable for #Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy's return from broken big toe but bound to be some time, especially for C.
#Brewers have tried everything else to snap out of hitting slump so they will try something new Tuesday. No pre-game BP. "Show and go."
#Brewers will call up C Juan Centeno from AAA Colorado Springs. Had a nice spring camp but Martin Maldonado will do most of the catching.
2B Scooter Gennett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left hand laceration, retroactive to 4/20.
The #Brewers have selected the contract of INF/OF Elian Herrera from Triple-A @skysox. RHP Brandon Kintzler designated for assignment.
Luis Valbuena: Five HRs. #Brewers: Four.
Seven others also have more HRs than MIL: Cruz, Goldy, AGon, AJones, J.D Martinez, Hanley, Votto.
#Brewers place Scooter Gennett on DL; call up Elian Herrera, make room on 40-man roster by designating Brandon Kintzler for assignment.
Lucroy broke toe in top of sixth, batted in bottom of sixth, then came out of game.
When you're not hitting, why not try something new? Elian Herrera at 2B, Jason Rogers at 3B and Logan Schafer in CF for #Brewers tonight.
Assistant GM Gord Ash confirms Jonathan Lucroy is expected to be out 4-6 weeks, based on the involvement of the toe for a catcher.
Also, Ash said Scooter Gennett (hand laceration) should be ready to return after his 15 days on the DL are up.

DOCUMENT S/19462
Letter dated 29 January 1988 from the representative of Canada
to the Secretary-General
[Original: English]
I have the honour to transmit the text of a statement issued on 27 January 1988 by the Secretary of State for External Affairs, the Right Honourable Joe Clark, on the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in the occupied Arab territories.
I should be grateful if you would arrange to have this letter and the attached text distributed as a document of the Security Council.
(Signed) Stephen LEWIS
Permanent Representative of Canada
to the United Nations
Text of a statement issued on 27 January 1988 by the
Secretary of State for External Affairs of Canada
[Original: English and French]
The Secretary of State for Extemal Affairs, the Rigbt Honourable Joe Clark, welcomed the United Nations Secretary-General's analysis of the situation in the occupied territories [see S/19443]. He also expressed appreciation for tbe identification of realistic and practicable measures for the safety of their population and for the report's emphasis on the need to find a political solution to the current situation.
Consistent with Canada's long-standing position that the Fourth Geneva Convention 1/ applies to the territories, Canada would be prepared to join with other contracting parties to that Convention in an appeal to the Government of Israel to apply its provisions to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Violations of the Geneva Convention, including human rights abuses and settlements, are unacceptable and damaging to the peace process. By applying the Convention, Israel would provide significant confirmation of its willingness to encourage a climate for peaceful negotiations.
The Government of Canada is ready to respond to an appeal for funds by the International Committee of the Red Cross to finance the extra activities required by the increase in detainees. As a major contributor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, we believe the international community should join in the effort called for in the Secretary-General's report to improve the infrastructure of the refugee camps located in the occupied territories. On 20 January, Canada made an additional contribution of $500,000 to special construction projects to the benefit of the refugee population. In 1987, Canada devoted $1,250,000 in development assistance to the territories. It will continue to share in efforts to assist these territories in ways helpful to peace.
Such measures, however, will not remove the root causes of the recent tragic events. As stated by the Secretary-General, "the underlying problem can only be resolved through a political settlement". Canada joins in his call for each side to strive to understand better the legitimate interests of the other and to act in a manner which promotes mutual understanding.
Canada believes that an intemational conference leading to direct negotiations would provide a suitable framework for the conclusion of a just and lasting settlement.
1/	Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949 (United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 75, No. 973).

What is Schizotypal (Personality) disorder?
"Schizoid personality disorder" is a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with, and reduced capacity for, close relationships as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior. The disorder begins by early adulthood and is indicated by five or more of the following:
Ideas of reference (delusions that irrelevant occurrences in the world relate directly to oneself).
Odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, belief in clairvoyance, telepathy or "sixth sense"; in children and adolescents, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations.
Unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions.
Odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped).
Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation.
Inappropriate or constricted affect.
Behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar.
Lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives.
Excessive social anxiety does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self.
The symptoms do not occur exclusively during the course of schizophrenia, a bipolar disorder or depressive disorder with psychotic features, another psychotic disorder, or autism spectrum disorder.
Is Schizophrenia a genetic disease?
Yes, genetics do play a role in schizophrenia. First-degree biological relatives of people with schizophrenia have a 10 times greater risk for developing the disease than the general population.
While schizophrenia tends to run in families, no single gene is thought to be responsible. It's more likely that different combinations of genes make people more vulnerable to the condition. However, having these genes does not necessarily mean that a person will develop schizophrenia.

CIS undergoes complete rebranding, now known as U Sports
October 25, 2016 Nick Brayford More Sports, Sports No comments
CIS unveiled new branding as U Sports / U Sports
The official governing body of university sport in Canada has a new name. On Thursday morning, CEO Graham Brown and his staff announced the official rebranding of the former Canadian Interuniversity Sport as U Sports. The organization held a conference at Real Sports Bar & Grill in Toronto and unveiled the rebranding.
U Sports is the governing body of 56 universities across Canada, which includes over 12,000 student athletes. Brown was very enthusiastic and excited when the announcement was made.
"This is a landmark day for us. Effective today, we are U Sports," said Brown. "This is an important step towards a total transformation for our organization that started almost a year ago."
Part of the reason for the rebranding was the old name, Canadian Interuniversity Sport and the abbreviation "CIS" were not recognized the same in both english and french languages. The former name was recognized as "CIS-SIC" because the translation from English to French did not hold the same abbreviation.
Brown hired a firm called Hulse & Durrell who have plenty of experience of helping rebrand Canadian organizations. Most significantly, they were also hired on for the rebranding of the Canadian Olympic Committee, Curling Canada, Swimming Canada, and most recently, Equestrian Canada. Their organization is based out of Vancouver, and is described as a firm that "develops brands, products and films for values-driven organizations around the world".
Hulse & Durrell made sure that U Sports was effective in that it will be successfully recognized globally, but was unique to the organization's history. Hulse & Durrell partner, Ben Hulse, elaborated on their thoughts while brainstorming their ideas.
"It needed to be different than anything that had been tried before in the organization's 100-year history. But, at the core, it was essential that everyone understands this brand," said Hulse.
The new U Sports logo, features a simple, yet very elegant design that has more meaning to it than what appears. The logo is a bolded capital "U" with a maple leaf in the upper middle part of the letter. The maple leaf was influenced by a design in the former logo when the organization was known as CIAU (Canadian University Athletic Union). According to U Sports' press release, the U in the logo stands for "United. Unbeatable. Unsurpassed. Undaunted. Unrelenting". Brown also explained that the design of the logo is meant to appeal to younger people.
The relaunch of the organization is hoping to take the stories of Canadian university athletes and their success and sell them to sports fans across all of Canada. The problem with Canadian university sports as of now, was that although there has been growing success in terms of attendance at university sporting events, there is really no market to people outside of the respective university's community. By advertising the increasing success in Canadian university athletics, U Sports will hope to bring in more fans across the country as a whole.
"What we do in Canada is excellence, we really do pursue excellence," said Glen Grunwald, Athletic Director at McMaster University. "We need to understand and appreciate that. We need to find a way to get these stories told because right now they are not."

Romanian president rejects Muslim woman for prime minister
Romania braces for a constitutional and political standoff.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis | Sean Gallup/Getty Images
By Carmen Paun
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday rejected Sevil Shhaideh's candidacy for prime minister, without offering a precise explanation.
His decision was condemned by the parties that won this month's parliamentary elections, and could bring on weeks of political and constitutional uncertainty in the southeastern European nation of 20 million.
"I weighed with care the arguments for and against and I decided not to accept this proposal," Iohannis said, saying the two coalition members should name someone else.
Shhaideh was put forward for the job by the the Social-Democrat Party (PSD), which came first in the parliamentary vote on December 11, and its junior partner ALDE, a liberal bloc. Shhaideh, an ethnic Tatar, would have been the first woman and first Muslim to hold the job in Romania.
PSD leader Liviu Dragnea and ALDE leader Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu on Tuesday accused Iohanis of pushing Romania toward a political crisis. The parliamentary majority could try to suspend the president for not respecting the constitution. The president has to name a prime minister from the ranks of the parliamentary majority.
The president emerged from the National Liberal Party, now in the opposition, though under the Romanian constitution he's supposed to be above partisan politics.
Dragnea said Iohannis had no reason to refuse Shhaideh, who had previously served as regional development minister. The two parties will decide by Wednesday night whether to initiate a suspension of the president, according to Dragnea. "If, after the analysis we will make briefly, we will conclude that it is good for the country to suspend the president, I won't hesitate," he said. "In my opinion, the president wants a suspension because he probably thinks, wrongly, that he can reinvent himself. We have to think very carefully if we throw the country in this political crisis."
Dragnea can't take the job himself for legal and political reasons. He received a two-year suspended jail sentence in April for attempting to rig a referendum.
Iohannis said earlier this year that he would refuse to name anyone with a criminal record for the job, ruling out the PSD's Dragnea. Shhaideh appears to have a clear record, but she was seen as a stand-in for Dragnea. He said as much himself. "I am sending a strong message to all Romanians, through this proposal, that I assume the full responsibility for the government activity and for applying the governing program," Dragnea said in announcing her choice last week.
"No one can impose a nomination to the president," Iohannis told POLITICO in October. He said he had to name someone from the party which won a majority in the parliament. "But I am still the one to name that person from that party, after political discussions with the party," he said.
Former Romanian President Traian Băsescu, a PSD foe, has said that Shhaideh's husband, a Syrian who spent most of his career working in the country's agriculture ministry, poses a problem given his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
On Tuesday, he called on the president and the PSD leader to find a solution quickly and to avoid a battle of egos. "It is not the moment for a useless political war between Dragnea and Iohannis," he wrote on Facebook.

Characters I Love # 5: Pariah
Every Wednesday, I focus on a character from adventure fiction (film, comics & prose) that I simply adore. This week we're talking about: Pariah, the tortured DC Comics' character first introduced in Crisis on Infinite Earths.
I really can't describe why I love this character. On the surface, he's almost comical. Cursed by causing the accident which released the Anti-Monitor onto the multiverse, Pariah would teleport from universe to universe, bearing witness to that reality's demise. He would cry a lot and talk about how much he wished he could help but he knew it would do no good. Eventually, he teamed up with Harbinger and other heroes of the multiverse to stand against the Anti-Monitor. With that villain's defeat, Pariah took to wandering the post-Crisis DC Universe, usually with survivors Lady Quark & Harbinger in tow (I also really like Harbinger). Pariah made a few appearances over the years, popping up in the Titans book during the Titans Hunt storyline, guest-starred in DC Comics Presents and eventually ended up as a Black Lantern during the Green Lantern-centric crossover, Blackest Night.
Pariah was a genius-level scientist and his powers included immortality, invulnerability and flight. I also assume he could translate any language automatically since he never seemed to encounter anyone he couldn't understand.
I really love his crazy outfit — the funky belt, the long boots, the cloak with the hood that can be raised. I also like his guy-liner eyes!
I always had this strange desire to take this seemingly worthless character and do a whole series about him. I could make it work — I'd play up the redemption angle, having him seek out these disasters but allow him to actually intervene and save as many people as possible. It would never be enough in his own eyes to undo all the damage that his arrogance had caused, however. I think the notion of an immortal witness to disasters, both great and small, could have tremendous potential.
Pariah has popped up in DC's New 52 Universe, as he was seen in one panel of Vibe # 1. Apparently, he's currently a prisoner of the United States government. His current origin is unknown.

Girlfriend of man who crossed Irish Sea on jet ski to visit her says she would marry him if he asked
BY: Rachael O'Connor
THE GIRLFRIEND of the man who was arrested for crossing the Irish Sea on a jet ski says she would marry him if he asked.
Jessica Radcliffe was bowled over when her boyfriend, Dale McLaughlin, crossed treacherous seas in a jet ski to visit her after the couple were separated by coronavirus restrictions.
McLaughlan, who had never driven a jet ski before, spent four and a half hours at sea travelling from Scotland to the Isle of Man, where Jessica lives, in order to spend the weekend with her.
Once he reached the Isle of Man, McLaughlan walked 15 miles to reach his girlfriend's home in Douglas, and the two spent the weekend together-- before he was arrested for breaching the Isle of Man's strict coronavirus measures.
Dale McLaughlan was on the water for four-and-a-half hours, despite the journey usually taking less than an hour (stock image / Getty)
The island has seemingly managed to beat the virus, having gone more than six months without a case of local transmission, and has only been able to accomplish this by extremely strict measures on who enters: citizens of other countries-- even other parts of the United Kingdom-- may not enter without express permission from the Government.
Mr McLaughlan did not have this permission, but the BBC reported that Mr McLaughlan had twice applied for permission to visit his girlfriend from Scotland but was both times denied.
The couple had met in September of this year, when McLaughlan legally travelled to the Isle of Man as part of his job as a roofer and fell quickly in love, with both Jessica and Dale having two small children from a previous relationship.
Now, the girlfriend of the lovesick man has said she would marry him if he asked, joking "It's definitely a story to tell our grandkids."
Speaking to The Irish Mirror, Jessica said she had received messages of support from people around the world following her boyfriend's act of reckless romance, and said: "People from Ireland have said 'What he did is heroic, you should marry that man.'"
"If he asks me, I'll say yes," she said. "It's definitely a story to tell our grandkids."
Jessica told the outlet that she was unaware that her boyfriend had illegally crossed the sea on a jet ski to gain access to the island until police knocked on her door two days after he arrived.
Dale was jailed for four weeks for the breach, but it seems his actions mean the couple have a long future to look forward to.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) With another report on Russian doping looming at the end of this week, the presidents of the IOC and World Anti-Doping Agency met Monday to clear the air over their ''perceived differences'' over the handling of previous evidence of systematic cheating in Russia.
IOC President Thomas Bach and WADA head Craig Reedie said they agreed to put aside any disagreements and ''move forward together'' in tackling doping and protecting clean athletes.
The two men met ahead of a three-day meeting beginning Tuesday, in Lausanne, of the International Olympic Committee executive board. On Friday in London, WADA investigator Richard McLaren will release his latest findings on Russian doping, including evidence of manipulation of samples at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.
The IOC and WADA clashed over the summer after the agency recommended that Russia be banned outright from the Rio de Janeiro Games. The IOC rejected that call, instead allowing international federations to decide which Russians could compete.
The IOC said it was confident that progress was being made on reforming WADA's governance and setting up an independent drug-testing unit under the agency's umbrella ahead of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Reedie, an IOC member from Britain, was re-elected last month to another three-year term as WADA president. That came after some leading Olympic officials had publicly called for a ''neutral'' president to take over.
McLaren's first report, issued in July, detailed state-backed doping programs and cover-ups in Russia across more than two dozen summer and winter Olympic sports. His latest report is expected to focus on Sochi, including allegations by the former Russian lab director that he helped dope Russian athletes before the games and swapped tainted samples for clean one through a concealed hole in the wall at the lab.
Without knowing the contents of McLaren's report, the IOC board is expected to issue a statement setting out how it will deal with the new findings - including the possibility of stiff sanctions.
The report will be sent to two commissions that the IOC has set up to look into the allegations.
The IOC will also review the result of its retesting of stored samples from the 2012 London Olympics and 2008 Beijing Games, a program which has produced about 100 positive cases so far. Many of the positives have involved weightlifting and athletes from former Soviet countries such Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine - which could face IOC scrutiny for possible warnings or sanctions.
The executive board will also receive reports from organizers of the Rio Games, as well as those from Pyeongchang and Tokyo. While Rio faced unprecedented political and financial pressures, Pyeongchang and Tokyo are now dealing with their own problems.
Pyeongchang is preparing for the Winter Games - just 14 months away - at a time when South Korean President Park Geunt-hye is facing possible impeachment in a political scandal centering on allegations that a long-time friend manipulated government affairs from behind the scenes.
Tokyo, meanwhile, is trying to reduce costs of the 2020 Olympics after construction costs soared to several times their original estimate. The IOC told Tokyo organizers last week it would not accept a proposed budget of up to $20 billion and demanded further cuts.
The IOC board is expected to ratify the venue locations for the five additional sports - baseball-softball, surfing, skateboarding, karate and sports climbing - approved for inclusion in the Tokyo Games.
The proposed venues are: Yokohama Stadium for baseball-softball; Nippon Budokan for karate; new structures on Tokyo Bay for sports climbing and skateboarding; and neighboring Chiba prefecture for surfing.
