By Robert Fisk, reposted from Information Clearing House
So when am I going to be able to watch Al Jazeera's hard-hitting investigation into Israel's powerful lobby in the United States? Remember Al Jazeera? The tough, no-holds-barred Middle East satellite channel that transformed Qatar into a media empire whose reports frightened dictators and infuriated potentates and presidents alike? Why, George W Bush once wanted to bomb its headquarters in Doha – so it must have been doing something right. It even has an office in Jerusalem.
But something seems to be amiss. Not Al Jazeera's disastrous American venture, which was supposed to break free of the dross on CNN and Fox News and ended up looking just like CNN or Fox. Nor the tragicomedy of its journalists' imprisonment in Sissi's Egypt, banged up by Cairo's farcical laws and the stupidity of Al Jazeera's own management in Qatar.
No, I'm talking about a documentary called The Lobby, directed by one of Al Jazeera's top journalists, Clayton Swisher, the man whose exclusive (and book) on the "Palestine Papers" blew open the secret and scandalous American-led negotiations between Israelis and the Palestinian authority between 2000 and 2010. But after months of postponement, The Lobby, which secretly filmed pro-Israeli US activists and Israeli government officials and was completed last autumn, is still no nearer to being shown – and Swisher himself has taken a paid leave of absence. He even chose to explain his frustration in an article for the progressive American Jewish magazine Forward, which has always maintained a liberal and often very critical view of Israel.
"Don't mistake me – I love Al Jazeera," Swisher told me this week. "I love working for Al Jazeera. They've done fantastic things. And they look after their staff very well. But our new documentary doesn't seem to be getting on air."
In his published explanation, Swisher described how his award-winning investigative unit – which he says operates "without [Qatari] government interference" – sent an undercover reporter to look into "how Israel wields influence in America through the pro-Israeli American community. But when some right-wing American supporters of Israel found out about the documentary, there was a massive backlash. It was even labelled as antisemitic in a spate of articles."
Nothing surprising there, you might think. Any reporters who have dared to criticise Israel grow used to the vile smear of antisemitism thrown over them – but there was an even more disturbing background to Swisher's attempts to get his documentary on the air.
The programme's completion, he writes, "came at a time when, due to an arbitrary blockade on Qatar imposed by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, Qatar had been pursuing an end to its siege by appealing to the US. According to reports, Qatar sought to offer its own side of the narrative in this conflict by hosting thought leaders, including from the American Jewish community. From reports in the Israeli press, I learned that [Harvard Professor Alan] Dershowitz had been brought to meet with the Qatari emir [Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani], and that the American Jews had brought up what they saw as Al Jazeera's antisemitism in those meetings. Of course, our documentary is not antisemitic. It is an exploration of how Israel, a foreign government, influences US foreign policy." [more info here]
Ironically, one of the Saudi-UAE demands for a return to normal relations with Qatar was to shut down Al Jazeera.
Most of Swisher's staff within Al Jazeera are American or British, and he recruited a young Oxford postgraduate, James Anthony Kleinfeld, to meet and mix with members of pro-Israeli groups in Washington. When this was discovered – partly because Swisher, for legal reasons, contacted those appearing in the programme to say that his team had used secret filming during their investigations – there was uproar.
Kleinfeld, who apparently used the name "Tony Kleinfeld", was accused of being "pro-Palestinian" but of "embedding himself with the Washington pro-Israel crowd" while spending "months of his life under a new and meticulously fabricated persona to infiltrate pro-Israeli groups".
The concern of Israeli lobbyists was not without reason. Recipients of legal letters from the documentary group – referring to the secretly recorded Israeli activists – included AIPAC, the Israeli-American Council, the Sheldon Adelson-created Maccabee Task Force, the Israel Project, the Zionist Organisation of America and other groups. Although Swisher's reporters had exposed genocide in Myanmar, presidential corruption in the Maldives and paedophilia in British youth football, another documentary under Swisher's direction concentrated on Israel's influence over Britain and included a secretly filmed sequence in which Israeli official Shai Masot discussed how to "take down" British MPs regarded as pro-Palestinian, including Sir Alan Duncan. Masot was forced to resign and the Israeli ambassador to London, Mark Regev, issued a formal apology.
According to Swisher, if his documentary on the American lobby doesn't air soon, "it might prove to be ammunition sought by a group of zealous US politicians who wish to declare Al Jazeera a foreign entity, and label us journalists as 'spies'". In response to antisemitism claims after the London documentary, the broadcasting regulator Ofcom ruled that the programme was "a serious investigative documentary". It was the same question, Swisher says, that he and his team sought to answer in the American edition of The Lobby: "whether the Israeli government was funding or involved in lobbying efforts in the US under the guise of a domestic lobbying group".

Swisher says that several "leaders of Jewish American organisations" met with Qatar's registered agent and lobbyist, Nick Muzin – a former aide to US Senator Ted Cruz, who supported American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital – "to see if he could use his ties with the Qataris to stop the airing". Since October, Swisher says, "we've faced a series of unexplained delays on broadcasting our project, the likes of which I've never experienced. I was repeatedly told by everyone to 'wait', and was assured our documentary would eventually see the light of day. Then, as now, I took my senior management at its word. To my own specially trained ears, 'wait' did not constitute 'stop'. In fact, it must not constitute 'stop'."
Almost every journalist I've met in the Middle East has encountered similar problems. When I worked for the The Times, I alerted the then editor, Charles Douglas-Home, to evidence that Israeli officers had secretly buried at least seven Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners – done to death in an interrogation centre – at night in a Sidon graveyard in 1983. He wanted me to spend as many weeks as necessary to find out if the story was true. Then, months later, when witnesses emerged with evidence of the burial, including the gravedigger – the bodies still had their hands tied behind their back with nylon rope when they were brought to him – I called my editor. My witnesses were being "visited" by armed members of the Israeli Shin Beth intelligence agency, I told him, and I was being trailed around Sidon by Israeli-registered vehicles. It was time to run the story.
To my shock, Douglas-Home – an editor who otherwise loyally stood by me in every Middle East dispute over my work – replied that he wasn't sure "how we're justified in running a story like this so long after the event". In other words, we had to be sure of our facts on such an important story – but by taking the time to do just that, the story was now out of date.
After much argument – during which I suggested to the Israelis that they might like to institute a military inquiry into the deaths if they wanted to avoid a scandal (they said, mysteriously, that it was already under way, although I doubted this) – the story ran. A deputy editor, I was told, had tried to cut the report by two-thirds. He was overruled. Then the story ran. In full.
So, old story, new story. I've appeared many times on Al Jazeera. And never been told to mince my words. Nor would I. But a lot of us are waiting to see Swisher's new documentary. If we don't, we'll know what to think of Al Jazeera.

Nursing Interruptions are a frustrating part of patient care. They can impact safety and cause stress for both caregivers and patients alike. This post, PART I: Interruption Awareness is More Complicated than Meets the Eye, examines interruptions for nurses and shares additional information and strategies on how to address them.
Like many change efforts, the first motivation for doing something different involves a sense that something isn't working. For me, that includes some tough shifts on an Alzheimer's unit where I could feel my stress level go off the chart.
Do folks realize that I need to concentrate on important details when I am administering medications?
Do they understand that interruptions are a source of medical errors? Sometimes catastrophic ones?
Does anyone care that an environment of endless interruptions can cause horrible stress on caregivers?
Then last March I had the opportunity to present a workshop at NYU where I facilitated an activity called "Overload". It was the first time I used this activity and a small group of healthcare and theatre education professionals participated. Seeing this activity performed was amazing. The visual display and following discussion brought home points that were incredibly powerful! I knew then that I needed a small group of nurses to help me create a YouTube about this topic.
As the planning process has evolved, so too has my primary goal. At first, I was mostly on trying to stop unnecessary interruptions, yet with discussions with colleagues and related research, I began to see that the issue was much more complicated than I originally thought.
My colleague, Sandy Summers, co-author of Saving Lives: Why the Media's Portrayal of Nursing Puts Us All at Risk ,(with Harry Summers) sent me an email. She invited me to consider some different aspects about the issue and shared a recent OpEd piece in the Nursing Times called, "Do Not Disturb: Undervaluation in Progress".
I realize now that what we really need is to raise awareness and stimulate respectful dialogue among all stakeholders. Some discussions I've had recently have been helpful in gaining insight into the complexity of interruptions in nursing/healthcare.
The nurse she asks is in the middle of checking transfusion orders for another patient.
The woman's husband/patient has a fear of needles, is dehydrated, and loves lime jello.
The nurse has finished morning meds, the unit is fully staffed, there are no crisis' going on and she just came back from lunch where she noticed a lot of lime jello.
The patient's wife likes lime jello and the nurse had negative feedback on a Patient Satisfaction Survey earlier in the year.
Some nursing interruptions are life-saving whereas some contribute to mistakes. The Joint Commission, together with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is working hard to empower patients and families to 'Speak Up' in their initiatives to decrease medical errors.
Assertiveness on the part of nurses, patients and families is important to develop and yet may be more effective when concurrently addressing related issues such as staffing and training and practice in listening. To do one and not the other strikes me as somewhat of a set up for healthcare professionals.
I was recently talking with a colleague about a med error that she had made. Event a fantastic nurse can make a mistake when she is stressed to the max. No one was harmed, thankfully, but the story is helpful to this discussion. When filling out the event report with her supervisor, the supervisor determined that because she didn't have have the medication next to the Medication Administration Record when she gave the medication that she did not follow procedure. She shared with me that this was true and willingly owned her failure to do so.
In talking with her further, her accountability is admirable, but the truth more complicated because there were a lot of other things going on between beginning to get the medication ready and giving it.
The patient had been screaming for over 30 minutes.
She had answered a call light twice.
A family member asked about visiting hours on Sunday.
An LNA asked her if it was ok to take her 15-minute break.
The phone rang and by the time she reached it the caller had hung up.
Each time she left the medication cart she put the drug back and locked the cart.
The medication she gave was no longer ordered for the patient, was the same dose and class of drug, but a different drug and right next to the correct drug.
As you can see, the circumstances surrounding 'her' med error are much more complicated than the nurse not following correct procedure!
In closing this article, I am sure that there are other layers that my colleagues and consumers in healthcare will have to share that shed more light on this topic. Nursing interruptions should be avoided when unnecessary to help protect patients.
Great post. I just started following you a few weeks ago. What made me love this post so much is that it perfectly describes some of the things I went through as a medication nurse, and that my staff are going through now that I am the DON. Your blog is one of the few (if the only one) that I've seen recently that presents LTC nursing in any sort of positive light. I get a little cranky with all the "nursing home" bashing that goes on out there in the nursing blogosphere. Kudos to you for the positivity. It's refreshing!
This post is actually by Beth Boynton, a guest blogger, and author of the book Confident Voices: The Nurses Guide to Improving Communication & Creating Positive Workplaces . Although I try to maintain a positive message throughout my blog, and I am absolutely flattered that you read my blog.
LTC nursing requires so much compassion and care. I don't see how anyone could want to bash care providers who has such an emotionally trying job. It's hard work that needs to be uplifted and appreciated.

This year's spring statement from the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a tale of two reports; Philip Hammond claimed to be "tiggerish" about the prospects for a UK economy on the rebound, while the Office for Budgetary Responsibility sounded more wary, predicting little in wage rises and a sluggish housing market.
However, while not great news for home movers, the situation offers a silver lining for people getting on the first rung of the property ladder as prices finally stop outstripping wage increases.
1) More competitive mortgage rates on offer.
2) A reduction in stamp duty in the last budget.
4) Fear of imminent interest rate increases.
So we're predicting some sluggishness in the housing market for home movers but a modest increase in activity among first-time buyers.
Estate agents have one thing in common with politicians, sharing a place on the public's list of favourite people to distrust, but not everything you read about us is true (estate agents, that is)!
As we're on the topic of Spring, it is time for some clearing out, so here are a few of the more popular myths we'd like to set straight, for the record.
Much of our business comes to us from referrals, so dishonesty and sharp practices would soon spread by word of mouth and we'd stop getting business. If you're looking for the right estate agent for you but you're still not convinced, you can check reviews online very easily and see what customers say. They are our best advertisement.
No. Choose an agent you trust, based on their experience and knowledge of the local market. Promising a high price your home high might sound tempting, but if it's unrealistic, your house will languish on the market for too long, leading to buyer suspicion and maybe ruining a buyers' chain you may be part of.
Homes do sell in the spring, but they also sell in summer, autumn and winter. Overall, there isn't a best time to sell your home, apart from the time that works for you. Your estate agent should be aware of your timescales and be ready to work hard at marketing your home no matter what time of the year it is. Setting the asking price right is a much more important factor in selling your house. In fact Rightmove states you are 40% more likely to sell your home if it's priced right!
The Internet enables potential buyers to research the local area so they can see what similar properties are selling for. If you price your house too high in order to negotiate down, you may be putting potential buyers off making an offer, leaving your property stuck on the market. Eventually it will start attracting speculatively low offers. Instead, focus on pricing your property on its fair worth.
Not only are individual estate agents different but companies are also too. Look around and find the perfect agent for you - after all this is a big job and you need to have complete trust in the person you choose to represent the sale of your house.
Whether you are buying or selling, entering the property world can be daunting. If you need a partner with experience and knowledge of the housing market in the Abingdon area, then contact Simpsons of Abingdon or simply give us a ring on 01235 520079. We'd be happy to advise you.

Quebec sugar shacks reeling after 'catastrophic' COVID-19 closures

Updated Apr 5, 2020 5:05 PM
MONTREAL — Pierre Faucher spent much of the month of February preparing to welcome the tens of thousands of clients who flock annually to his sugar shack west of Montreal, eager to learn about traditional sap gathering and eat calorie-laden food drenched in sweet maple syrup.
Today, the long tables in the 200-year-old dining hall are empty, food remains uneaten and the peak-season staff of 100 has been reduced to five after the Quebec government ordered the shutdown of restaurants and gathering places to limit the spread of COVID-19.
While the pandemic has left few businesses untouched, the timing has been particularly cruel for Quebec's several hundred commercial sugar shacks, many of whom earn the vast majority of their profits during the sugaring-off season that runs from late February to early April.
"It's a massive blow," said Faucher, who has operated Sucrerie de la Montagne in Rigaud, Que., for more than 40 years. He estimates that 60 per cent of his annual business comes during sugaring-off season.
"I've had difficult situations, but this wins first prize."
Faucher said the only operation that continues is making syrup, which his farm does by hand. There have been a few takeout food orders, but none of it is enough to make up for what is lost.
Kasandra Cherrier, who co-owns Sucrerie Bonaventure in Mirabel, north of Montreal, estimates her losses at $250,000. Unlike Faucher, her business isn't authorized to operate year round, meaning she won't be back in business until 2021.
She said the timing of the closure was particularly painful, since she'd just paid thousands of dollars to stock up on food and hire employees.
Now, she's had to give most of her food to the needy and is looking to secure a loan to avoid closure and bankruptcy.
While she's making a little money from her online boutique, she's wondering what to do with the vast vats of marinade, pickles and beets she'd prepared for the 40,000 clients she won't welcome.
"I've had to pay more just to undo that preparation," she said.
While the province's maple syrup production appears to be going fairly smoothly, the season has been a disaster for commercial sugar shacks that depend on dining room revenue, according to a spokeswoman for the organization representing maple syrup producers in Quebec.
"For those businesses, which make their numbers in March and April, it's certainly going to be a catastrophic season, and how they'll get through it is yet to be seen," Helene Normandin said in an interview.
Normandin said that while they are just a fraction of the province's 7,000 producers, these sugar shacks play an important role in keeping Quebec culture alive.
"Even if they're just a few hundred, they're most often the link between the consumer and production because in our imagination, that's what a sugar shack is," she said.
She said the association has formed a committee to help lobby for them, and has also been promoting their products on a website, Erable d'Ici.
The closure of their dining rooms has prompted some sugar shacks to try to move online, offering up takeout meals and even Facebook-streamed brunch sessions.
Michael Constantin said his family-run sugar shack north of Montreal has been offering a full frozen traditional meal for customers to pick up and eat at home.
He said he's seen a boost in orders, even though he isn't yet set up to offer delivery.
While it's nothing compared to the revenue from the dining room, he's hopeful it will be successful enough that he can hire back a few of the employees he laid off, with the help of a federal government wage subsidy program.
He's also hoping that the virus will subside enough to allow his summer weddings and events to move forward.
Faucher is also confident that his family-run business will survive for another year, even though he'll have to take on debt to do so.
In the meantime, he's focusing on maintaining his property and looking forward to an eventual reopening.
"My parents and grandparents lived through the First and Second World Wars and the Spanish flu," he said. "There's no reason I can't get through this."

Joel grew up in Dewitt, Michigan, and met the Culture Project at a Theology of the Body retreat with Christopher West. He decided to join as a missionary when God dropkicked him through the Culture Project's open door. Joel rediscovered Christ's love by running as far from it as he could throughout high school and most of college, a route Joel does not recommend. Thanks to the campus ministry program at Michigan State University, he finally gave God a chance to bring him peace, and God overwhelmed him (unsurprisingly). Nowadays, Joel loves spending time with friends and family, playing sports, and watching movies. Through Theology of the Body, he rediscovered what it means to live a life of joy, and he hopes to help others discover that life as well.

For fifty years, the Ocean Youth Club and Ocean Youth Trust have delivered adventure under sail to thousands of young people. It's aims and ideals and the impact they have on those young crew members are essentially unchanged since the early days.
Laurent Giles connection with the then Ocean Youth Club commenced in the late 1970's when we were approached to provide a replacement design for their successful but aged 72' Robert Clark yachts.
In 1988 construction of North East vessel, 70' steel ketch, began on Tyneside using Manpower Services Commission/Youth Training Scheme manpower, while on the other side of the Pennines Greater Manchester Challenge (see design number 0944) was under construction by the Greater Manchester Maritime Trust which was set up by Mick Rawcliffe and Melvin Magnall.
The Sailing Programme for the year 1985 proudly stated that over 65,000 young people had sailed with OYC since 1960, and a national appeal was launched with a target of £2.5 million to replace the ketches with fleet of 10 new steel Shipwright 70 class ketches to be built on Tyneside by AMARC (TES) Ltd
1986 Greater Manchester Challenge was completed to be operated out of Liverpool from 1987. James Cook, the first of the Shipwright 70 class, was near completion for the North East, and a second, John Laing (see design number 1056) was already under construction for the South.
1990 John Laing the second vessel of the Shipwright 70 class, was launched and named by Lady Laing in a ceremony in Poole in May. John Laing was funded by an extremely generous donation from Sir Maurice Laing
In 1995 John Laing and James Cook departed on their 30,000 sea miles World Voyage, a prestigious project to circumnavigate with young people and a world first.
The Shipwright 70 was designed to be sailed by young people, many of whom come from non-sailing backgrounds. They are immensely safe and strong. And have sailed round the world; John Laing was specially chosen by the British Army for an expedition to Antarctica in 2001-2; They have completed many seasons of UK-based sail training, but what makes these yachts unique is their versatility – catering for crew both young and old, and crew with disabilities. All groups can be fully involved in sailing the boat. They also sail well, are safe and offer really exciting sailing and a proper challenge for older or more experienced crew members.
If you have shipped aboard one of these yachts as crew or officer we would love to hear from you and learn of your experiences.

Super Conqueror Kryptonite
Have you ever looked back at work you did when younger or looked back at your social media posts from your teen years and thought "What the hell was I thinking?". Well that is me today, and it is time to touch upon a subject we've covered at least three times on here, and this I hope will be the final time. This is also an apology as a young historian I made a mistake.
We are all aware of the "Super Conqueror" that is spreading like wildfire around the internet. Well after seeing it appear, as a model kit after its WOT release, I began to feel a bit like Dr Frankenstein, whose just applied the electrodes, seen his monster lurch to life, stagger down to the local village and now all you can hear is screams and see the glow of a massive fire. At this point I have no idea how to stop it.
The WOT Super Conqueror is made up of three parts. The hull of a normal Conqueror, a new turret based upon a sketch I found, and a set of spaced armour plates that were employed upon a range target.
In WOT high tier heavy tank was needed. However, on the 4th of July 1946 Britain had officially stopped developing infantry and cruiser tanks and moved all armour development to the Universal Tank. It is also at this date they switched from the old pre-war General Staff numbers (Eg: A.22), to the FV number system. This left WOT with a serious problem and is the reason why they used the FV215 (HT) that they made up for a number of years.
Then I show up with a document that says the hull armour on the Conqueror range target was actually manufactured and would have been fitted for combat.
To get around the issues WOT had, they mashed all the components together and came up with something that could work, they just needed a name. This approach works fine for WOT. Even the model kit that has been produced is fine, as it's meant to be the range target (although the base model is the wrong marque of Conqueror). The recent addition of the range target to other "100% historically accurate" games is a bit more confusing though.
Where did I go wrong then? Well last week, for the first time in four to five years, I was reviewing the documents on the spaced armour with some colleagues over at tanks-encyclopedia.com. It was pointed out that my evidence was a bit suspect. Even at the first glance I could see this was the case. The original claim for the hull plates was in a proposed requirement, not an actual specification. The document on the range target trials did use the same name for the armour plates, which I had latched onto and used it as proof. If I had been a bit more thorough I would have read the entire document and seen the wording at the back.
Simply put there is no evidence that the hull plates were manufactured or built. The text in the trials report implies that the hull plates were built for the trials only. Granted it is only implied, and you could read it to say the hull plates were actually for service. However, I feel that the phrasing indicates this was not the case. Now it maybe that someone will find a document listing the hull plates as produced, but at this time it is looking unlikely they were. I would also be careful about claims otherwise as these hull plates are unlikely to have left much, if any records, even in a fully complete archive, which the UK archives are nowhere near.
These were some of my earliest discoveries. Luckily, these days, I have become more thorough and over the years and learnt better methods of note taking, documenting and cross checking.
Therefore, I can only apologize for the mistake I made when I was younger and impetuous.

About The Evil Twin: Evil Twin Brewing is the brainchild of Jeppe
Jarnit-Bjergsø. An avid beer geek since 1997, Jeppe began home-brewing in Copenhagen, Denmark in June/'03. His first foray into the commercial craft beer scene commenced in September/'05, when he opened the now world-famous bottle shop Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. The reputation of Jeppe & his shop grew quickly, and myriad side projects began (including his collaboration with Cantillon on the Blåbær Lambik - one of this most highly regarded, highly sough-after lambics in the world). Evil Twin Brewing is Jeppe's latest venture, and is the culmination of the vast knowledge, experiences, and relationships he's built over the years.
