Žižekian Political Pragmatism: On "The Courage of Hopelessness"

The Pressure of the Political
I just finished Slavoj Žižek's recent work, The Courage of Hopelessness: Chronicles of a Year of Acting Dangerously (2017); the subtitle of this book reflects his short book on politics published in 2012 as The Year of Dreaming Dangerously, but deviates from the fundamental spirit that informed his 2012 book. While in the 2012 book he dealt on the wave of protests that erupted in response to the financial crisis and the Arab spring protests that deposed well-entrenched Middle-East dictators, his recent book on politics reflects the cynicism he always had with explosions of collective outbursts. Even in his The Year of Dreaming Dangerously, he expressed his dismay in the disintegration of the Bolivarian revolution to a caudillo administration, contradicting its grassroots base, and the explosion of new fundamentalisms that followed the Arab spring revolts (ISIS in Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the sectarian division in Libya). In The Courage of Hopelessness, Žižek puts this same cynicism for calls for action against the interesting rise of right-wing populists from Donald Trump to Marine Le Pen.
In combating the "Big Bad Wolf" of politics, the liberal-left is entrenched in making compromises with the establishment just to counteract its perceived enemy. This is embodied in the "Clinton compromise"; where Hillary Clinton's candidacy is perceived as the only option to combat the vile character of Trump and the values he set against the liberal politically correct politics. Žižek saw this dynamic in the public space as the very deadlock of liberal-leftism that allowed for a figure of Trump to emerged. To put this in perspective, the candidacy of Trump is marked by his opportunism of middle-class woes, taking their problems and presenting them an enemy to blame, while at the same time presenting an economic policy that is moderate by Republican standards (nothing of that anarcho-capitalist pipe dream) from lower taxes to decreased government spending. In contrast, the Clinton compromise took the multi-culturalist and identity politics route and presented it side by side with the interests of Wall Street. Both candidates actually do not propose anything new to the political climate, but it was Trump's clear pandering of common people's problems that allowed the fundamental antagonisms in American politics to arise.
The defeat of Bernie Sanders indicates the lack of political imagination within the established Democratic Party, cementing its incapability to organize itself at the grassroots level, opting to make moral platitudes about unity in diversity, instead of embracing the fundamental antagonisms that split American society as a whole. The situation Žižek describes is the difficult situation of being pressured by the political. Sanders and Trump claimed to speak for the common people; while Trump utilized the woes of the common people to catapult his political victory and push for the Republican agenda, Sanders' campaign synthesized multiculturalism and human rights activism and the basic Leftist stance of economic justice. The appeal of the Sanders campaign is precisely that it vocalized what cannot be said in American politics (if Sanders made such statements in the heyday of McCarthyism, he would've been called by the congress and made to admit of his association to the Communist Party and accused as a Soviet spy) i.e. the rift between ordinary Americans and the Wall Street elite that caused the economic collapse in 2008. The Clinton consensus took the multicultural struggle and human rights activism and threw the fundamental antagonism that informed it in Sanders' campaign; the result was a highly PC discourse aimed at demonizing Trump and his supporters, while at the same time conniving with Wall Street elites and Middle Eastern financiers in a horrible rainbow coalition.
The Clinton compromise was an attempt to reduce the political to a set of struggles opposing the vulgarities of the Trump administration while at the same time retain the same economic structure that rendered more power to the financial elite. Its PC discourse attempts to throw the unhealthy baby of the Trump administration as well as the dirty water of political struggles for economic justice, hoping that pristine democracy can be achieved. However, as the 2016 elections showed, the liberal counterattack failed. Žižek does not mince words when he vehemently criticized the liberal establishment for its incapability to draw from the mass base by embodying its woes and placing it within the struggle for economic justice. Instead, the response from the Democratic party is to hope that everything will renormalize and that Trump is part of a democratic cycle that would eventually allow for more tolerant political climate later on. It is precisely this hope for a renormalization that placed the liberal-left in the quagmire incapable of organizing around a popular base.
Confronted with the emergence of right-wing populists using every opportunistic measure to pander on the common man's woes, Žižek tries to avoid a lot of the political tendencies that abound both in the enclaves of the liberal and the radical left. While the liberal left hoped to find opportunities in the administration to swing the electorate back to the Democratic party, the radical left (or whatever stands for it in the American left-wing movements) is divided among sectarian lines on how to struggle against the enemy. Explosions of counteroffensive violence, clashing against right-wing nationalists and organizing "Love Trumps Hate" demonstrations do not suffice for an effective approach against the Trump administration. Furthermore, leftist positions oscillate between its cynicism with state mechanisms and its interstitial relationship to it when it comes to moral obligations to accept refugees. Mixed with PC discourse and guilt, the liberal left is causing its own demise, putting itself in the cross-hairs of right-wing propaganda. Given this situation, Žižek's proposal is highly pragmatic, but surely enough to madden PC sensibilities.
Žižekian Pragmatism: Back to Bureaucratic Socialism
Žižek proposed that a sensible solution to the refugee crisis is to construct an effective bureaucracy to screen and accept refugees, rejecting all forms of humanist blackmail. By removing the status of the refugee as the Levinasian face of the other, he breaks down the only fantasy that sustains the liberal-left's approach to the refugee crisis. While to PC sentiment a strict immigration and acceptance policy reeks of right-wing demagoguery, the proposal is, at best, the most democratic. The liberal-leftist call for "opening of the borders" is an extra-democratic demand that violates the very principle that bind the nation-state as a concept i.e. the right to defend its borders and internal security. Allowing hapless and victimized refugees inside without screening, one should not be surprised to find among them latent jihadists posing as refugees. While not all refugees are closet jihadists, the possibility of one of them being one is dangerous for the refugees as a whole, submitting them to the unbridled anger of ultra-nationalist gangs. The measure of allowing the refugees to pass through a strict screening process allows for security measures to be done early on.
This proposal is modest and pragmatic. It clearly places the duty of processing in the capacity of the EU and the nations where such centers are to be placed. The immediate criticism that such a position will elicit from liberal leftists (and some in the radical left) is its lack of sharing solidarity with the refugees, submitting them to suspicion through strict screening processes. However, I agree with Žižek here; as someone who experienced lining up to get a US visa and staying for half an hour in the immigration lines just because my name is common to both Latinos and Filipinos, screening is a normal process by which someone proves his innocence to a legal body. Allowing an open border policy to refugees is similar to visa free travel with a huge possibility of wrecking havoc on the host country. At its most basic, Žižek demystifies the refugee, while they are victims of the war, they not innocent victims with pure personalities and attitudes.
Žižek's demystification of refugees and proposals to systematize the process of accepting refugees reflect the political pragmatism at work in his recent political commentary. One of the crucial sections of his recent book is "A Plea for Bureaucratic Socialism", what he does is to dispel another leftist mythic alternative to global capitalism i.e. localized politics governed by federal councils instead of a centralized state system. Such position is founded on a fundamental anarchist fantasy: since global capitalism has made nation-states subservient to its cause, an efficient way to combat it would be to abolish the nation-state bureaucracy and give power to a local council to oversee the affairs of different regions. What such position try to do is to transpose the revolutionary role of the multitude to a governing body, hoping that it won't disintegrate and form another elite body of administrators. Such position reflects its incapability to build from popular political movements to the morning after of political administration. Žižek perceived the left as incapable of dealing with administration, but, at the same time, the moment that it can administer presents a decisive blow to liberal cynicism.
Žižek, in his recent book, echoes a pragmatic approach to political administration. The left is divided within sectarian lines when it comes to the question of the party and the state. While Žižek is critical of vanguardism, one should situate his criticism on vanguardism being merely vanguardist i.e. to simply gather and organize without the goal of administering to those it tries to represent. Žižek challenges all leftists to take the question of administration as part and parcel of the struggle. For all leftists, being drunk on revolutionary fervor leads us to confront the hangover the morning after; the problem with recent left-wing attempts at government is that it thought it can have its cake of leftist administration and eat it with capitalism, only to find themselves being punished by the market. Confronted with the real of the market and its expansive logic of exploitation, the challenge is how should a leftist confront the capitalist real without risking the return towards the old ways within the new.
Ascribing the term "pragmatism" to Žižek's politics will reek of political and parliamentary reformism, however, it should be clear that for him, the measure of a revolution's success is not to simply organize the mass base, but to effectively administer to the mass base, changing the coordinates of everyday habits that people do after the revolutionary event has dissipated. The Bolsheviks were aware of this after their victory in the Civil War, knowing well that allowing the proletariat and the farmers to go back to their old ways before the revolution would destroy all the work done before and during the revolution. Lenin expressed this when he wrote in 1918 that the one of the immediate tasks of the Soviet government is to promote open debate in meetings as well as discipline among the ranks of the proletariat and the party. Trotsky reflected on post-revolutionary culture in his article on cinema, vodka, and the church, demanding that in a proletarian state, the cinema presents a higher level of educational culture to replace the cheap entertainment provided by religion and alcohol. Lenin's pragmatism and Trotsky's left-wing puritanism resonate the attempt to revolutionize society sponsored by the Soviet government by introducing disciplinary measures and government sponsored forms of amusement (like state-owned theaters). Small measures like this as well as the New Economic Policy (NEP) renewed the Soviet economy after World War I. To Lenin, the NEP was a slow, but necessary, step for the betterment of the Soviet Union.
The modest proposition that the left should be the embodiment of discipline and restraint in contrast to the vulgarity of right-wing nationalist is a strong one and would most likely be rejected by those who see the left as the political spectrum of unbridled freedoms. However, the liberal establishment has already coopted the idea of individual hedonism, with millionaires from Silvio Berlusconi and his orgies and the baller lifestyle of the founders of Uber, making headlines. In such a case, the idea that individual hedonism is set against fascist obsession for order totally misses the point. While the left should fight for individual rights (gender equality and economic justice), such struggles are part and parcel of the leftist administration of the state. Currently, the postmodern left is afraid of the state, content with interstitial distance, hoping the status quo can be coaxed to answer the needs of the majority. However, the Clinton compromise shows us that this is impossible and downright counterproductive.
The ideas of "democratic centralism" and discipline within the party needs to be resuscitated. Such concepts are widely accepted by the national democratic front. Perhaps, the West has a lot to learn from the party discipline of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
Filipino Nationalism(s) Under Dutertismo: An Urgent Warning
May 26, 2017 May 26, 2017 Ruben GAsian values capitalism., Dutertism, global capitalism, liberalism, nationalism, Neoliberalism, Philippine politics, politics, populism, postmodern capitalism, Rodrigo Duterte, Ruralism, universalismLeave a comment
Those who read this blog know perfectly well that I have written and will continue to write essays on the concept of Dutertismo. Since the concept itself is problematic, defies strict definitions, and difficult to pin down on the left-right political spectrum, my position has been to assert that Dutertismo embodies the class tensions in Filipino society, ranging from cooperation among different elements of the classes, complete apathy sustained by postmodern capitalist ideals, and open class struggle goaded by the inherent contradictions generated by the late capitalist mode of production (from outsourced production to extraction of intellectual work through the digital service sector). Class tensions in Filipino society are either openly antagonistic or non-antagonistic. I hold that the former is repressed and the latter is sustained by different ideological discourses and processes that fill the void that obfuscates class struggles and expresses it in different forms. Such form is expressed in different concepts: ruralism (which is synonymous to traditionalism), nationalisms, and liberalism. All three are responses to the postcolonial situation and attempts to define the contours of Filipino identity in response to globalization and the syncretism of culture that marked Filipino consumerism and everyday life. Moreover, all three are reactive in the pure Nietzschean sense of the term that sought to express the resentment of many at the face of its own failures as a nation that embodies the agenda of the masses.
Ruralism is an idea formed by a nostalgia. City life, especially in Metro Manila where everything seems to be out of joint, creates a nostalgia for the good old times where food is a matter of going to the local market or asking people what they have to share. Ruralism is a nostalgia in response to the perceived decadence of urban life. When confronted with the apathy between neighbors in a gated subdivision, one dreams of a time when neighbors are close by and intimately known. One dreams and desires what one does not have or have lost; ruralism, however, is not a desire for something we have lost, but something we do not possess in the first place. Hence, ruralism is a reactive term inasmuch as it supplied us an ideal that is neither past nor future. It occurs only as a an exercise of thought, a fatal abstraction from attempts at subtraction from the currently perceived decadence of urban life. When urban life becomes too alienating, when the very idea of community is an amalgamation of houses and nothing more, we strive for something that was in the past, untainted by the demands of city life. As a reactive concept, ruralism thrives on the dichotomy between the urban and the rural, where the urban is an actual material reality and the rural a name for a loss that was never there, standing only as a placeholder for what the urban is not. It is an expression emerging from a melancholy.
I see ruralism as an expression of alienation. The demands of capitalist production are embodied by the city; consumerism is a temporary respite from the demands of capital that contains a double demand: spend and consume to relax, but work in the next day and pay for your credit bills and so on. City life is a matter of dealing with abstract and bureaucratic life, organized by strict time frames and production quotas to achieve. Even with the emergence and proliferation of the digital information industry, the mode of production simply moves to a more abstract level that cannot be simply molded to the Marxist labor theory of value, since intellectual labor fully exploits creativity through precarization. To sustain this dynamic, late capitalism is marked by its capability to morph and adjust to the cultural demands of its nodes.
The duality of Western postmodern capitalism and Asian-values capitalism revolves around two distinctly polar tendencies: the permissive Western capitalist dynamic and the traditional and highly exploitative capitalism with Asian values embodied by the state of Singapore and China. Clearly, Filipino capitalism does not fall exclusively to either tendency. Hence, I will go so far as to argue that Filipino capitalism is an Asian values capitalism sustained by the illusion of abiding by a Western spirit of capitalism (a similar ideal was prevalent in the Sonno joi movement during the Japanese Bakumatsu period where in order to maintain Japanese tradition and Western development rallied under the slogan: "Japanese Spirit, Western technology"). By the "illusion of abiding by a Western spirit of capitalism", it implies that our economy is fully open to the agendas of the globalized system of capitalist production. The effort of all post-1986 governments has been to force the country's participation in the global market, allowing as much liberties to global transnational companies to exert their demands upon the Filipino economy. Such a globalizing project is rife with contradictions and it entails the precarization of different labor sectors to provide ample opportunities for transnational companies to maintain its foothold. Hence, as an Asian values capitalism, the effort to remain within the global capitalist network is to assert traditional values, expressed a national identity. It is not surprising that the effort to liberalize the economy is also accompanied by highly conservative Catholic and Protestant law makers who argue for open economies on the left and strict moral family codes on the right. Communism is the name for the disturbance in the national body.
Days before Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law, he underwent a so-called "spiritual exercises". In his diary entry of 29 March 1972, he writes "The permissiveness of society must be balanced by authoritativeness. The two poles must be given weight and equal importance…And the permissiveness of our society has spawned the many evils that will wreck our Republic. It must now be balanced with authoritativeness and that is martial law. However, I put as a condition the occurrence of massive terrorism which would alarm the people as well as the authorities." (cited from Manuel Quezon, III, "Martial Law and Parental Guilt" available here ). What then is the permissiveness he sought to counteract? In 1972, it collectively meant "Communism" under which long-haired hippies, drug addicts, rebellious students, and Voltes V belong. Hence, speaking at a national conference on the children and the youth, Marcos wrote: "This requires a national effort. This requires the effort of everyone whether in government or outside government. There will be a great need for the resources and services of agencies and organizations outside the government. There will be a need to mobilize free and voluntary services dedicated to the welfare and development of the youth. Unfortunately, many of the parents must answer for some, if not many, of the ills of our society. Many of our parents think that after they have sent the children to school their responsibility is finished. This is not true and many regrettable mistakes in our society are due to the fact that the parents have failed in many instances in performing their role in society. And yet we blame the young. We keep on blaming the young. When we speak of drug addiction and we speak of the waywardness of the young, we have an inclination and a tendency to point to them and say, they belong to this drug-addicted generation. Perhaps, we should look inward and into ourselves and ask ourselves how far have we as parents fallen on our job. I speak as a parent. As President I am a busy man. I sometimes work up to 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and yet, I have a feeling that notwithstanding the fact that we may be very busy there are certain obligations you and I cannot shy away from and they have to do with the care of our children. When my children were here, even if I was very tired or very occupied, I always tried to see them before they went to bed. When they were working on their lessons or when they were whiling away their time I tried to talk to them even for just a few minutes. I am certain that many of those who are drug addicts among our children will say, will tell us, that it was because we the older generation didn't care enough that they turned out that way." (Ibid) Communism was the name of an external conflict, an invader accompanied by the rabid permissiveness of radicals, posed against the values of the nation embodied in the family. Drug addiction, rebellion, and radicalism can be resisted by the simple time a parent can give to his children, properly honing them to the values of the nation.
However, it should be clear that Marcos' nationalism accommodated itself to outbursts of nationalisms. Back then, the Marcos dictatorship is a nationalist reaction with a populist appeal; today, the nostalgia for the Martial law years reverberates in the outbursts of nationalisms that decry the decadence of contemporary cosmopolitan life. Disobedience to authority, rebelliousness, apathy, consumerism and so on are highlighted as repulsive values of the urban life. To counteract this, nationalism(s) revolve around the mystification of the past of rural Filipinos who cooperated with their leaders for the betterment of society, regardless of political color. In this case, market society offers a level playing ground upon which traditional values must inform the relations between people while at the same maintaining a highly permissive workplace. Hence, one can complain about work and at the same time obey with commitment. The organic unity of society is sustained by perceivable enemies: drug addicts, drug pushers, rebellious students, decadent bourgeois thinking and so on are seen as external bodies that disturb the harmonious flow of the organic body, the removal of which guarantees the continued healthy lifestyle.
Confronted with latent and all-out outbursts of nationalisms, liberalism sought to a middle ground. Provide a Filipino democracy founded on good values of cooperation and kindness. One can live a highly opulent and occidental lifestyle, but contribute to charity and make acts of philanthropy. Liberalize the economy to such an extent that the oligarchy becomes more wealthy, but make time for progressive programs. A totally ridiculous example of this can be seen in how SM justifies its prolific building of malls; in an advertisement, a clip of a storm hit town was shown in all its brutality. After which, the ad goes to successive pictures of a SM mall and its built-in flood control structure, accompanied by interviews from locals thanking SM malls for the project. This is Filipino capitalism at its most elementary: unfettered free market sustained by nationalistic tendencies and traditional morality. Liberalism panders on both tendencies, attempting a balancing act between allowing nationalistic outbursts or promoting an economy for global capital.
Dutertismo and the recently termed "Dutertenomics" (which echoes Reaganomics) shows that liberalism is waning at its own weight unable to control the contradictions inherent to the economy, politics, and society. Here, nationalisms are directly accommodated and named as a form of nationalism (or Duterte's use of the word "Filipino"). At the same time, here the law is taken to its full inherent transgression, providing the police and the army a free reign to inflict their policies under the guidance of the enforcement of the law. In the political arena, dissent is seen as a violation of national stability; destabilization emerges with disobedience and rebellious attitude.
Dutertismo now stands as a politics for the lost ideal. Nationalisms aim at trying to assert the lost ideal as a political category. The debate between supporters and detractors of Martial law were reduced to a matter of regional affiliation. Nationalistic tendencies played on either side as one stand for national stability and close ties to cultural roots and the other for the protection of civil liberties against the encroachment of a new authoritarianism. What the debate on the notion of nationalisms tell us is the untenability of a post-colonial politics that relies on unraveling marginalized rationalities that seek to inform dominant rationalities, seen to be more dynamic and tolerant of cultural difference.
The way out of this deadlock is to assert a politics of universality. In this case, there is no authentic regional ethnic roots to fight for whether Taglog, Visayan, or Mindanaoan. No true regional culture to stay true to. Of course, this does not mean an abolition of culture and the imposition of universal values by force. A politics of universality is a politics of universal struggle. Such a politics was apparent in the Lumad crises, different tribes from the North to the South converged in Manila not to celebrate their being a tribe, but to fight for the simple right of land and a dignified sense of self-sufficiency. In a joint statement, their leaders denounced transnational companies that played on tribal antagonisms to further its exploitation of the land. They were not content with simple ethnic recognition as such. This is universalism at its finest.


CERA's Macular Research aims to improve understanding of the disease processes and treatment options for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Tiersky's Viewpoint
Chinese Dali Dreamstone Exhibition
Through a Chinese friend, I had the luck to discover the remarkable "Dali Dreamstone" exhibition this week at TK Asian Antiquities in New York City.
Dali Dreamstones are marble slabs of smaller or larger size, which are mined, cut and polished by stone masters to reveal extraordinary patterns that resemble traditional Chinese or Japanese paintings, or indeed Western abstract art depictions of natural phenomena—a landscape comprised of mountain, forest and lake—or else a stylized human figure—an old man, for example. In exhibiting this collection of a few dozen pieces, TK Antiquities brings this special, little known art form to the attention of Americans interested in Chinese/Asian culture and to provide a buying opportunity that will extend the reputation of this Chinese art form among American collectors.
My friend, Ms. Ping Wang, who helped organize the show, has an unusually personal connection to the Dali exhibition, things in her own past I hadn't known. Dali is an ancient town in Yunnan Province, about 400 kilometers from Kunming. During the Maoist Cultural Revolution her father, a military man, was transferred from Beijing to Dali where she spent spent part of her youth in the early 1970s. One could walk from one end of the place to the other in fifteen minutes. Dali was deep rural China then (and still is) but today, because of its cultural aura, has attracted a certain number of contemporary artists (producing a 'coffee house culture,' she says) that made me think, perhaps erroneously, of Taos, New Mexico.
The raw marble slabs for Dali objects are mined from a massif called Cangshan, whose stone, a congenial enterprise of Nature, embodies highly unusual, evocative striations and colors. After selecting, cutting and polishing the marble, its revealed designs are categorized into three basic types: yunhui (grey clouds), moshi or baishi (white jade), and caihua (colored flowers). Today there's a renewed interest in this work, but appreciation of Dali marble as art goes back to at least the early Tang Dynasty (618-907). During the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) a portion of the Dali Kingdom's annual tribute to the Song Court had to be paid in Dali marble. It was even used in construction of the Forbidden City. In more recent times, Dali marble has more recently been used in building luxurious residences and resorts. Its growing reputation has led to increased production of which the current exhibition is an example.
To this observer there seem to be two ways to appreciate Dali Dreamstones. A first is to see them as nature-depicting-nature, coincidences of content of one part of our environment with another, ravishing intimations of connection. They are like paintings, only nobody made them. Comparison—seeing similarities and differences at the same time—is an intrinsic mode of the brain's intellectual understanding of the world. There can be great beauty in scientific observation—phenomena that are seen, and whose laws are investigated and codified—in addition to the practical knowledge and applications. The second way, which this writer prefers, is purely aesthetic, to see and to experience nature without trying to make any particular sense of it. Dreamstones are simply beautiful, a source of emotional satisfaction and a sense of belonging, of feeling oneself to be what we are: literally a part of the world, with our own special qualities, differences and uniqueness (indeed, some of us are quite beautiful, others less so). In this regard, dealing with Cangshan Mountain marble resembles how we deal with music: one way is close study of composition, the other is not trying to understand it at all, only to enjoy it. Sometimes one encounters a painting or a piece of driftwood or a flower and thinks, I could live with that, in fact I'd like to live with that.

Hope you find good dogs.
By the way, where are you going to pick your dogs ?
Bangkok, Ratchaburi. Korat, or Phitsanulok ?
Try to clear the process of bring them into the US.


Dentists recommend: For an ideal health care go to the routine check-up twice a year! By doing that the dentist can identify tooth damages at an early stage and thus go against them on time.
You don't have to pay the practice fee as long as there is no "therapy".
That means that you can still go to the check-up twice a year without having to pay the practice fee of 10 euros.


When it comes to budgeting, knowing where to splurge and where to save can be difficult. Sometimes it's hard to tell what is worth the extra money and, especially when you're on a strict budget, splurging can seem excessive. There are, however, some things that you should spend the extra money on no matter your budget. And sometimes treating yourself to something a little out of your price range just feels good.
Your skin is for life, so it's important to take care of it now. Find a skin care product that works best for you, and don't be afraid to spend more. Splurge on it now and you'll be happy you did for years to come!
You do a lot with your hair; dye it, perm it, tie it up, and style it with heat, all of which are damaging to it. Hair products will help keep your hair from damage and keep it soft and smooth. Especially if you have treated hair, splurging may be your best option. Less expensive products may help a little, but splurging on quality products will keep your hair healthier and stronger.
Work clothes are an important part of your wardrobe and, while you can certainly wear some less expensive clothes, work basics are going to be where you splurge. In the end you'll be happy you splurged on an expensive, well-made blazer rather than having to replace a cheap one over and over. Splurge on your staple items, including blazers, pants, skirts, and a few nice shirts. They'll last longer and look better, and will be well worth the extra money.
There are few more important things than good shoes. Good heels, good running shoes, good walking shoes. Buy a good pair of sturdy, comfortable heels, and supportive shoes for days you are on the go or on your feet for long periods of time. Go to a quality shoe store and get sized and fitted, and spend the extra money to keep your feet healthy. Buy supportive shoes now and your body will thank you later.
Those $300 designer glasses sure are pretty, but the $20 knockoffs look just as good and protect your eyes just the same. Plus, sunglasses have a nasty habit of getting lost or broken quickly, and you won't be as heartbroken when your inexpensive glasses need to be replaced. If you're on a budget, this is one place to save your money.
You definitely want a sturdy purse that will hold all of your belongings without falling apart, but after a certain point the price just gets excessive. A $50 purse will last you a few years and continue to look great, so there's no reason to go overboard on a more expensive bag.
Especially when you're on a budget, splurging on purchases can be difficult. It's easier to buy cheap and save money in the now, but there are some items where splurging is necessary. Splurging now will save you trouble later, helping keep your skin and hair healthy, or keeping your feet and body from pain on long days out. Remember the long term when making purchases—if a product be beneficial in the future, it may be good to splurge. If not, save your hard-earned cash!

Fényes Elek szerint: "Kövecses, magyar falu, Gömör vmegyében, felülről a Kerepeczi pusztával, alólról Recske helységgel határos, rónaságon fekszik, ut. post. Tornallyától a Putnok felé vivő országút két oldalán, reformatus templommal. A lakosok száma 160, kik közül róm. kath. 7, ref. 140, evang. 13, mindnyájan eredet szülte magyarok.

Szántófölde mindent bőven terem; rétje sok és jó takarmányt ad, ollykor egy rész a Sajó vize által elöntetik; a lakosok a szarvasmarha-tenyésztést s hizlalást üzik. Birják Dancs, Abaffi, Lukács urak."

Gömör-Kishont vármegye monográfiája szerint: "Kövecses, sajóvölgyi magyar kisközség, 63 házzal és 345 ev. ref. vallású lakossal. E községnek már a XIII. században a kövecsesi Dancs család az ura és ez időben, a mikor Koweches néven van említve, a Czinege család is részbirtokos. Később a mellétei Barna család is jogot tart reá, az újabb korban pedig a Szent-Miklóssy család is. A Dancs család kihaltáig birtokos a községben, mely birtok Lukács Lajos táblabíró neje, szül. Dancs Erzsébet révén, a Lukács családé lett és 1892-ben vétel utján került Nehrer László tulajdonába. A Dancs család utolsó tagja László, csak 4 évvel ezelőtt halt meg. 17 éves korában részt vett a szabadságharczban, Schwechatnál egy ágyugolyó térden felül elvitte a ballábát. Azóta itt lakott. Birtokát ugyancsak Nehrer László vette meg. Van itt három kúria, melyek közül az egyiket a Lukács család építtette, ez most Nehrer Lászlóé, a másik kettő a Dancs családé volt s ezek egyike most gróf Rey Vilmáé. A község református temploma 1842-ben épült. 1879-ben jégverés és árvíz az egész községet elpusztította. Kövecses tájékán feküdt hajdan Chyntalan község, mely e néven 1431-ben merül fel. A községnek van postája és vasúti állomása, távírója pedig Tornallya."

Southwestern student finishes first in Braille Challenge
Southwestern Elementary student Emma Stamper finished first place in the apprentice division of the Braille Institute's Braille Challenge. The Braille Institute, a network of schools across the country, was founded in 1919 by J. Robert Atkinson in order to increase the braille literacy rate. The Braille Challenge is an academic contest hosted by the institute to "encourage blind youngsters to practice their braille skills," according to its website. This year's challenge celebrated the 20th anniversary of the competition and was the first remote challenge due to COVID-19. Stamper said her challenge was like a timed test that had three three parts: spelling, comprehension, and proofreading. She said the proofreading was her favorite. "Actually, in school I have a helper who will translate stuff I write in braille so we can take it to my teacher," she said. "Sometimes she will make a mistake in braille – because sometimes she will have to write the work up for me – and so when she makes a mistake I'll say 'what's this supposed to mean?' and she'll take a look at it and find out that I caught one of her mistakes." Her "helper," Judy Van-Nes (Emma's visual aid), does not make mistakes very often, Stamper added. The Challenge is broken up into different divisions based on the ages of its competitors. Stamper began in the apprentice division's regional competition as a second grader, but finished second grade prior to the nationals competition during the week of July 6. This is actually the second year Stamper competed in the apprentice division of the Braille Challenge. Stamper said she did better this year than last year because last year she ran out of time prior to completing the test and this year she completed the test with time to spare. "On spelling, I got it done five seconds early and I think on comprehension I think there were three or two," she said. Stamper's teacher, Marya Zipoff (a traveling Teacher of the Visually Impaired) said Stamper's literacy has improved quite a bit from last year. "She is just amazing," Zipoff said. "Her speed has picked up. Her ability to read larger words has picked up." This year the challenge was done remotely, meaning instead of traveling to the Braille Institute in California to do the challenge, Stamper took the test at her school, Southwestern Elementary. Zipoff proctored the test. "Since they couldn't fly people into California to do it because of the pandemic, they asked different people who had experience in braille to proctor the exam," she said. "The Braille Institute in California did remote training for all the teachers who would proctor." "After I completed the training, we got Emma's packet and met at Southwestern to do the exam," she added. The now-third grader also received an excellence in spelling award. "Even though I thought spelling was the hardest, I was the best speller," she said. For the spelling test, Zipoff would speak words for Stamper to type out in braille. She would spell it in contracted and uncontracted braille. Contracted braille is a shortened version of braille words, which take up less space. "I like to compare it to texting," Tina Stamper, Emma's mom, said. "So instead of spelling 'laugh out loud,' the contracted would be 'lol.'" The Braille Institute livestreamed the awards ceremony on YouTube, so Emma was in her living room when she found out she won. "I screamed," she said. She also called her teachers and her grandma. Zipoff wasn't able to watch the livestream because she was driving, but she said Van-Nes was messaging her updates throughout the ceremony. Zipoff said she was elated when she found out Emma won. "Oh my gosh, I was so happy and so proud of that girl because she has worked really hard over the summer," she said. "She is a student everyday, not just school days." Emma hasn't received her prizes yet. She received a trophy, a Braille Note Plus, some money, and other prizes she doesn't know about. "Some of it will be a surprise," Tina said, to which Emma nodded. Emma plans to compete again next year. Next year, she will be in the "Freshman Division," meaning she will have more than three challenges to complete. "Emma inspires all of us to do even better because she is just amazing," Zipoff said. "She learns so quickly, she remembers so much."

LG's offers some big discounts on the G6 and V20 from US carriers
By Rich Woods Senior Editor for North America Neowin @@TheRichWoods · Aug 18, 2017 11:48 EDT · Hot! with 0 comments
LG is going to announce its next flagship phone, the V30, at IFA on August 31. That means that it's time to start offering deals on its previous handsets, the V20 and the G6.
Starting with the V20, you can grab one of those from T-Mobile for just $20 per month, with $0 down. It's a 24-month plan, which means that the device is yours for $480. We reviewed the LG V20 after it came out last year, and thought it was wonderful, with a camera that's great in low-light, and excellent performance.
The G6 is being offered at a discount from most major US carriers, for around $20 per month, where it's normally between $28 and $30 per month. T-Mobile has it priced at $20 per month with $20 down, making the full price $500, but Verizon and Sprint (normally $708) are offering the same deal without a down payment, making it $480. AT&T has the phone for $19.50 per month, although that's a 30-month plan, making the handset more expensive. Make sure to check out our review before you buy.
That's not the end to the deals though, as if you cash in on one of T-Mobile's offers, the Un-carrier will give you a G6 or V20 for free if you start up a new line.

Internet sex vid keeps Cheyenne Jackson in the scene along with new album and club gig
By Confidential
| BY MARIANNE GARVEY, BRIAN NIEMIETZ AND LACHLAN CARTWRIGHT |
Cheyenne Jackson's a man of the moment, with a new album and a purported sex video making the rounds. (Larry Busacca/Getty Images)
"Glee" star Cheyenne Jackson is suddenly on everyone's radar thanks to a 52-second sex tape in which he allegedly stars.
The viral video, which first turned up online in mid-September, set the Internet ablaze Monday. But instead of trying to throw a blanket on it, Jackson seems to be throwing fat on the fire.
One of Jackson's pals confirmed to Confidenti@l that the nude man whose eyes and tattoos are visible in the video is "definitely" Jackson (r.), and even claims the actor loves the press because he has a new CD out and just finished a run at Birdland Jazz Club in New York.
"Let's just say he's not doing anything to stop the presses over the tape," says Jackson's pal. "It can only help."
MAXA/Landov
Jackson and Monte Lapka got married in 2011, but they were divorced last August.
Friends of Jackson's believe the original leak may have came from a former friend of the star.
Jackson admitted at Birdland on Sunday night that he'd had an incredibly tough year, getting down at one point over a divorce he went through with his ex of 13 years, physicist Monte Lapka. The duo got hitched in 2011 and broke up in August.
Jackson then moved to Los Angeles, covered himself in even more tattoos, gave up drinking and got a Hollywood boyfriend named Jason Landau.
"The divorce moved along amicably in private, but was not friendly behind the scenes," says our source. "They were both angry."
Meanwhile, while the tape was blazing across the Web, Jackson was holding a Q&A and CD signing on Monday for his new album, "I'm Blue, Skies," at the Drama Book Shop on W. 40th St. When Confidenti@l asked him about the sex tape, he shook his head as if to say no comment and smiled at us. We're told he will fly back to Los Angeles on Wednesday after his shows at Birdland Jazz Club near Times Square.
Jackson had debuted at the venue with a show featuring songs from the new album mixed with classics. His last show of the run was Monday night.

After his divorce, Jackson moved to LA and began a relationship with Jason Landau.
On Sunday night, Jackson did a far more G-rated performance at Birdland. He started the show with a cover of "Feeling Good." At one point, the actor called 2013 "the most difficult year of my life." The recovering star was noticeably downbeat, admitting he struggled with alcohol and drugs for "20 years."
He soon perked up, though, laughing and singing "A Little Less Conversation" for the packed house.
"That was harder than it was 10 years ago. I'm going to be 40!" said Jackson, who's now 38.
Although the video is getting ample attention, Jackson is also known for his work with amfAR, marriage equality, LGBT rights and AIDS research.

Elsa Pataky, left, got some extra time with hubby Chris Hemsworth, right, as a stand-in for a 'Thor' kiss.
THOR TAKES A REAL SMACK
If it looks like Chris Hemsworth wasn't just acting during his passionate kiss at the end of the credits on "Thor: The Dark World," it's because he wasn't.
Co-star Natalie Portman revealed to us that due to a scheduling conflict, she couldn't make it back to set in time to reprise her role as Thor's mortal girlfriend. So a special, lip-smacking stunt double filled in — Hemsworth's real-life wife, Elsa Pataky.
"It was for reshoots [after the film was finished] and he was working in Hong Kong and I couldn't get there because I was working on my own film," Portman told The News' Ethan Sacks. "And so they put his wife in my wig and costume, that's why it is so passionate."
Spanish-born Pataky, married to Hemsworth since 2010 and now pregnant with their second child, had been traveling with her superhero and their daughter, India, at the time. With clever editing and even more clever work with camera angles, moviegoers were none the wiser — until now.

SIMON GOES BUGGY
Cheating has its rewards. Simon Cowell will be pushing more than wanna-be musical acts soon. The website for cheating spouses, AshleyMadison.com, is gifting the man who doesn't need anything with a top-of-the-line $1,000 Bugaboo baby stroller and other gifts.
The straight-shooting reality show judge and his baby mama Lauren Silverman also will get a monogrammed bib and blanket set along with a gift certificate for one million credits (in case Simon gets the itch to hone his talents behind Silverman's back) at the cheating site, courtesy of the company's happily married CEO, Noel Biderman.
WINNING PERSONALITIES
Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark will be honored with the Sports Leadership Award at the March of Dimes 30th Anniversary Sports Luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria on Wednesday. Yormark, who created the team's "Hello Brooklyn" logo with its marketing team, will receive the award alongside Yankee legend Mariano Rivera, WNBA star Skylar Diggins and NBC Sports Network president Jon Miller.
Z100's Elvis Duran (second from r.) took 'X Factor' finalists Fifth Harmony shoe shopping.
Z100 GOES WITH SOLE
Z100's Elvis Duran has been playing Santa on the down low. The morning jock had "X Factor" finalists Fifth Harmony in his studio last week, and liked them so much he treated the girl group to a surprise. "After the interview he gave them a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue to each pick out a fabulous pair of red-carpet- worthy shoes," a source says. That's the holiday spirit Elvis!
HERE'S A SEAT TO KLINGON TO
Does a bus seat trump an Oscar? Patrick Stewart is set to boldly go where many don't, with a permanent seat on the top deck of a Gray Line New York double-decker bus. In a nod to his work on stage and screen, the star will be honored Wednesday with an induction into the company's Ride of Fame. Stewart also will be saluted with a custom-made permanent decal on the front of a Gray Line bus. The former "Star Trek" captain is currently getting rave reviews for his role in "No Man's Land" and "Waiting for Godot."
MAKSIMUM PARTYING
Even when he's not working, he is dancing with stars. Maksim Chmerkovskiy and brother Val partied with Sam Ronson at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City over the weekend. Kate Upton's main squeeze was in A.C. for a friend's bachelor party and dined at Japanese restaurant Izakaya before tearing up the dance floor at mur.mur. We're guessing the other patrons didn't stand a chance.
STERNS DO MISSION: IM-PAWS-IBLE
Howard Stern and wife Beth speak full-on meow. The cat-loving duo are now up to fostering and finding homes for a whopping 52 kittens that Beth has plucked from near death. Fans of Stern's SiriusXM show know all about the Catnado their home has become, since the shock jock loves to discuss the status of the crazy little furballs. In addition to the foster kitties running around, the Sterns are perma-parents to five fully grown rescue cats, including their newest, Bella Stern, a beautiful blind rescue.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has made a key addition to his 2020 campaign, adding Arizona activist Belén Sisa, who has declared herself an immigrant without legal status, to his team as a deputy press secretary.
"This is really emotional for me. I can't help but think of 18-year-old Belén, who felt hopeless and powerless to the anti-immigrant attacks and policies that were holding her back from her dreams," Sisa wrote on her Facebook page, which now identifies her as a deputy press secretary.
The Washington Examiner initially reported the 25-year-old's addition to the campaign, noting a Facebook post from the activist that called the job an "emotional" moment. A DACA recipient, Sisa's benefits and legal protections are reportedly set to expire in a year.
"I cant help but think of the generations of sacrifice my family has had to do for me to get here. Never in our wildest dreams did we think I'd be making moves like these," Sisa added in her announcement, which is dated Tuesday. Sisa previously gained national attention in 2017 when a photo of her paying taxes in an effort to counter stereotypes of immigrants went viral.
"She's so brave," her mother Isabel O'Neal told a local news station, according to Fox News. "DACA is expiring every day. Hers is going to expire in one year and what are we going to do with all these youth? Congress has to pass the DREAM Act."
Sisa told another news outlet in 2016 that while she could not vote, she hoped her activism would inspire others to support her candidate. "Even though I can't vote, I can get 200 people to vote, and that matters," Sisa said at the time, according to the Arizona Republic. "Everything can change depending on who becomes the next president. Our voice is starting to matter, and we can have an impact even though we can't cast a ballot ourselves."

First of all my name is Diana Toth. I was born in 1996 so I am 16 years old now. I have got shoulder-length, brown hair and brown eyes as you can see it in the following picture. In my opinion I am a hard-working and an optimistic girl. Therefore I am always cheerful and talkative. But on the other hand I can be lazy too and I usually delay.
I live in a yellow detached house at the greenbelt of Keszthely. The house is within easy reach for the shops and it is very close to Lake Balaton.
I have got a smaller sister, her name is Tamara. She is a 10-year-old nice and clever girl, and she is a student at a local primary school. My mother is lawyer and her name is Veronica. My father, called Istvan runs his own business: we have got a fishing-and a hunting shop in Keszthely city.
I adore animals so I have got a lot of pets. I have got a 7-year-old cute dog, called Ropi and she is a small snauczer. We have got a lot of fish in aquariums and ponds; where moreover there are turtles and crayfishes too.
I attend to Vajda János Secondary Grammar School, to the Biology class. I am interested in Biology and English, therefore I would like to be a doctor in the future.
My hobbies are really different. I am crazy about running and skiing. We go skiing with our friends every winter. Thus I travel a lot with my family and with my best friends. I am really keen on tennis; I have played it since I started primary school. I am fond of motorcycles too, I have got a blue one, an Italian scooter. To tell the truth I don't really like reading but I like films, mainly adventure and romantic films and series. One of my favourite is: In Time; it is a very well made film which shows the real values of our life.
My favourite colour is pink. I listen to music every day but my musical taste is colourful: I like pop, rap and so on; however I have got a lot of favourites. At weekends I generally go to party with my friends; and we spend a lot of time together, especially in the Summer holiday.
Last year I was the participant of a Hungarian-Turkish partnership. We got lots of memorable memories and experiences there. We met lovely students from an other continent; and we saw their culture and their beautiful country too.

← 1947 World Series 1949 →
The 1948 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1948 season. The 45th edition of the World Series, it matched the American League (AL) champion Cleveland Indians and the National League (NL) champion Boston Braves. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914, while the Indians had spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox for the American League flag.[1] Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship (as well as their most recent) and their first since 1920.
It was the first World Series to be televised beyond the previous year's limited New York-Schenectady-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber, Tom Hussey (in Boston) and Van Patrick (in Cleveland).[2] This was the second appearance in the Fall Classic for both teams, with the Indians' lone previous appearance coming in a 1920 win against the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Braves' lone previous appearance coming in a 1914 win against the Philadelphia Athletics. Consequently, this was the first, and to date only, World Series in which both participating teams had previously played in, but not yet lost, a previous World Series. Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Miami Marlins, the Washington Nationals or the Arizona Diamondbacks play against either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Los Angeles Angels in a future World Series.
Television coverage of the World Series increased this year, but due to the medium still being in its infancy coverage was strictly regional. Games played in Boston could only be seen in the Northeast, while when the series shifted to Cleveland those games were the first to be aired in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit and Toledo.
This was the only World Series played between 1947 to 1958 not to feature a New York team, and the last not won by a New York team until the 1957 Series (which the Braves, having relocated to Milwaukee, won over the Yankees). The two teams would meet again in the 1995 Series, with the Braves—by then relocated to Atlanta–winning. This was the first World Series, and the last until 2016, in which both teams scored the same number of total runs.

Braves pitcher Johnny Sain and Indians pitcher Bob Feller were engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel when the Braves came to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning. Feller walked Braves catcher Bill Salkeld to open the inning. Braves manager, Billy Southworth then replaced the slow-footed Salkeld with Phil Masi, who entered the game as a pinch runner. Mike McCormick followed with a sacrifice bunt, advancing Masi to second base. Feller issued an intentional walk to Eddie Stanky, who was replaced by Sibby Sisti. Feller then tried to pick off Masi at second base. Indians' shortstop Lou Boudreau appeared to tag Masi out, but umpire Bill Stewart called him safe.[9] Tommy Holmes proceeded to hit a single that allowed Masi to score the only run of the game, giving the Braves a 1–0 victory.[3]
The umpire's controversial ruling touched off heated debates among the media and fans,[9] especially after Associated Press photographs of the play were published.[10][11] Although Feller allowed only two hits, he took the loss in what would be the closest he came to winning a World Series game.[9] Upon his death in 1990, Masi's will revealed that he really was out on the pick-off play.[12]

The second game also made television history when a live broadcast of the Indians–Braves matchup was shown aboard the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Marylander passenger train travelling between Washington, D.C. and New York City, using a receiver operated by Bendix Corporation technicians.[13] An Associated Press reporter observing the demonstration said, "Technically, it was surprisingly good."[13] The Braves scored a run in the first off Bob Lemon on Bob Elliott's RBI single with two on, but Lemon held them scoreless for the rest of the game. After three shutout innings, Lou Boudreau hit a leadoff double in the fourth off Warren Spahn, then scored on Joe Gordon's single with Gordon advancing to second on the throw to home. One out later, Larry Doby's RBI single put the Indians up 2–1. Next inning, Dale Mitchell hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Boudreau's single. The Indians scored one more run in the ninth off Nels Potter when Jim Hegan reached on an error, moved to third on two groundouts and scored on Bob Kennedy's single. The series was tied 1–1 heading to Cleveland.

For the third straight game, no home runs were hit by either team. This would not happen again in a World Series until 2014. The game's two runs came on Larry Doby's groundout in the third after a double and walk and Jim Hegan's RBI single after a single and walk in the fourth, both off Vern Bickford. Gene Bearden pitched a complete shutout, allowing five hits while striking out four, as the Indians took a 2–1 series lead.

Steve Gromek of the Indians and Johnny Sain of the Braves pitched complete games each. The Indians struck first when Dale Mitchell hit a leadoff single in the first and scored on Lou Boudreau's double, then added to their lead on Larry Doby's home run in the third. Marv Rickert's leadoff home run in the seventh cut the Indians' lead to 2–1, but they held on to take a 3–1 series lead.

Satchel Paige appeared for the Indians, becoming the first black pitcher to take the mound in World Series history. The previous day's single-game attendance record was broken with 86,288 fans. After two leadoff singles, Bob Elliott's three-run home run in the first off Indians starter Bob Feller made it 3–0 Braves. Dale Mitchell's leadoff home run in the bottom half off Nels Potter put the Indians on the board. Elliott's second home run of the game in the third made it 4–1 Braves, but in the fourth after a leadoff single and walk, Walt Judnich's RBI single made it 4–2 Braves, then one out later, Jim Hegan's three-run home run put the Indians in front 5–4 and knock Potter out of the game. Bill Salkeld's home run in the sixth tied the game. Next inning, Tommy Holmes hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Earl Torgeson's RBI single. Ed Klieman relieved Feller and allowed a walk, two-runs single to Marv Rickert, and another walk. Russ Christopher then allowed RBI singles to Mike McCormick and Eddie Stanky. Warren Spahn's sacrifice fly off Paige capped the game's scoring at 11–5. Spahn pitched 5+2⁄3 shutout innings of relief for the win, forcing a Game 6 in Boston.

The Indians struck first in Game 6 when Dale Mitchell hit a leadoff double in the third off Bill Voiselle and scored on Lou Boudreau's RBI double, but the Braves tied the game on Mike McCormick's RBI single with two on off Bob Lemon in the fourth. A walk loaded the bases, but Voiselle grounded out to end the inning. Joe Gordon's leadoff home in the sixth put the Indians back in front 2–1. After a one-out walk and single, Jim Hegan's RBI groundout extended their lead to 3–1. Three straight singles in the eighth by Ken Keltner, Thurman Tucker and Eddie Robinson made it 4–1 Indians. In the bottom of the inning, the Braves loaded the bases off Lemon on a single, double and walk. Clint Conatser's sacrifice fly and Phil Masi's RBI double off Gene Bearden made it 4–3 Indians, but Bearden pitched a scoreless ninth for the save to give the Indians the championship, currently their last.
