Freaks Like Us: In Memory of Eric the (Midget) Actor of the Howard Stern Rat Pack
I listened to Howard Stern on and off over the last ten years. Many of my close friends were avid listeners and they always made sure to let me know of something unusual about the show on this or that day.
One of the most interesting characters on the show, who I remember hearing on several occasions, was Eric the Midget (aka Eric the Actor). He would call in to the Howard Stern quite often. He was a part of Stern's "rat pack." Howard, it seemed, was obsessed with Eric's life and asked many questions about how Eric lived his life.
In many ways, one could argue that Stern's interest in "Freaks" expressed his interest in what it means to be human and in-common. In fact, this kind of argument was made by Leslie Fiedler in his book by that name: Freaks: Myths and Images of the Secret Self.
At the outset of his book, written in 1978, Fiedler points out that the word "freak" has gone from being a negative name to an "honorific title by the kind of physiologically normal but dissident young people who use hallucinogenic drugs and are otherwise known as "hippies," "longhairs" and "heads." Such young people – in an attempt to perhaps make clear that they have chosen rather than merely endured their status as Freaks – speak of "freaking out," and, indeed, urge others to emulate them by means of drugs, music, diet, or excitement of gathering in crowds"(14).
However, Eric was a real midget. He didn't choose to be a "freak." And he didn't think of himself as a "freak," either. Howard treated him as he would treat many people on the show. And like Leslie Fiedler, Howard may have seen something in Eric that he saw hiding in himself. He identified with him although, in many ways, he tried to retain his distance.
At the end of the introductory chapter, Fiedler recalls his feelings, when he went to the "Circus World Museum" in "Baraboo, Wisconsin." There he saw wax effigies of Freaks from the past: "Lionel the Lion-faced Man and Jo-Jo the Dogfaced Boy," and the "Cardiff Giant."
Confronting them, I could feel the final horror evoked by Freaks stir to life: a kind of vertigo like that experienced by Narcissus when he beheld his image in the reflecting waters and plunged to death. In joined twins the confusion of self and other, substance and shadow, ego and other, is more terrifyingly confounded than it is when the child first perceives face to face in the mirror an image moving as he moves, though clearly in another world. In that case, at least, there are only two participants; the perceiver and the perceived….so the distinction between the audience and exhibit, we and them, normal and Freak, is revealed as an illusion, desperately, perhaps even necessarily, defended, but untenable in the end. (36)
Given his final words, we can see that Fiedler would likely find the difference between himself and Eric effaced. He would come to terms with the other. But now…it's too late. And we must mourn our loss.
Eric died today at the age of 39.
To give you a sense of who he was and how Howard related to him, I'm going to post a few clips.
And here was a recent show….
As Fiedler might say, Eric was one of us, yet, at the same time, he wasn't. This difference and its limits were traversed by Howard Stern for well over a decade. And we have yet to go through all of the footage and to figure out what happened and what this all means. Because of Stern, Eric the Midget (Eric the Actor) was heard by millions of listeners who otherwise wouldn't give him a second glance on the street. He was on Stern right to the very end. And Howard, ultimately, didn't want to exploit him. He wanted to make his life better and gave him the stardom that Andy Warhol believed all Americans deserve.
And now he's gone.

"I'm Only Half a Man" – Howard Stern and the Schlemiel – Take 1
A few friends of mine have, for the longest time, told me that I should write on Howard Stern as a schlemiel. It's been on the back of my mind for a while and I do listen to his show from time to time, but I've always been a little ambivalent as to how he could be seen as a schlemiel. After all, schlemiel's are usually very humble and are not as rude as he. But then again, we have the Borsht Belt Comedians, Lenny Bruce, Larry David, and, of course, Phillip Roth's Portnoy (of Portnoy's Complaint) all of who are considered by this or that scholar to be schlemiels. That said, I finally had an opportunity to do some in-depth listening to Howard on Satellite Radio as I recently drove across one part of America. And, lo and behold, I found evidence of the schlemiel on several levels. Most importantly by way of what Ruth Wisse, in reference to Sholem Aleichem, calls "indirection" and through an identity that is, in many ways, parallel to Phillip Roth's Portnoy.
I tuned in to Howard's news part of the program in which Robin Quivers reads a news item and Howard gives commentary. The first thing I heard was a report by Robin about how the second in command in Al-Queda, Said al-Shehri was killed by a drone. Instead of speaking about drones, Howard launches into a reflection about how much he loves films where commandos go in and kill terrorists. Then he praises the commandos in the American military and says he wishes he could be one of them. Responding to this, Robin says why don't you or why didn't you join the military? Howard answers: "I can't. I'm only 'half-a-man.'" He repeats a few times with something of a shoulder shrug and moves on. To be sure, the claim that the Schlemiel is a mouse and not a man is an American one. In his essay for the collection Too Jewish? Challenging Traditional Identities edited by Norman Kleeblatt, Maurice Berger writes of how this "half-man" stereotype made its way through TV and film in the 20th century. But he concludes that the stereotype had nearly disappeared in the 90s and that things had been changing.
Moreover, Phillip Roth's main character of Portnoy's Complaint, also sees himself as "half a man," but, still, he goes on attempting sexual acts to prove he is a man. As I point out in one of my blogs on Roth and Portnoy, Portnoy is ultimately defeated by a female Sabra. She emasculates him and reminds him that he is an American Jew, not an Israeli; he is "half-a-man." However, as Portnoy shows us, where he wins is with his words and wit. But, as Roth claims in his interviews, his books which followed Portnoy's Complaint were efforts to leave the "half-a-man" schlemiel behind to be a man. (The illicit sexual forays in a book like Sabbath's Theater – to give only on of several examples – should give one ample evidence of this.)
But the schlemiel as half-a-man lingers on after the 90s. To be sure, the Schlemiel as half-a-man is also posed by Woody Allen by way of Jason Biggs in the 2003 film Anything Else.
We see a good example of it in this series of scenes.
As you can see, Jason Biggs is the one who says that, in the face of men, Jews have wit. But it is Allen who turns the car around and does damage to the car of the two aggressive men. To be sure, Allen, like Stern is also obsessed with being thought of as half-a-man.
But, this is only one part of the schlemiel-complex, so to speak. More interesting is how Stern deals with the "heavy news" items; he changes the subject to something he's more interested in: Sharknoado (2013).
Stern loves the name and the B film concept and the absurdity of sharks flying through the air attacking people. He can't get it off his mind. He plays a piece called Tardnado which is a parody of this film that was sent by one of his fans. As one can imagine, with a title like this, the audio includes screaming people who are mentally challenged who fly at people.
When the "important" news items come up, Stern sometimes launches into his interest in Sharknado. Other times, he'll pick out something that is a seemingly arbitrary aspect of the new event and talk about it thereby deflating whatever media-hype it may have.
I'll make note of a few examples:
When Robin notes that Stevie Wonder has refused to play in Florida, Howard says"mmm hmm" and takes a call from Ralph who talks with him about Sharknado. They talk about how ridiculous the premise is and enjoy this for a minute or two. This indirection shows us that film is of more interest to him than Wonder's boycott.
In response to hearing Robin's news on Al Sharpton's National Action tour in the name of Trayvon Martin, Howard also moves by way of indirection and discusses Sharpton's new girlfriend with Robin. After doing this, he passes on to how Al looked better when he had more weight. In other words, aesthetics in the media eye is of more interest to Howard than politics.
After saying this, Howard talks about the heat and air-conditioning and moves on to talking about his mother and her complaints. He does a few comic imitations of her to drive it home.
This act of imitating his mother has great resonances with Portnoy who basically does the same thing throughout the text. This routine of struggling with the mother was, according to Donald Weber, one of the main feature of Borscht Belt and post-Borsht Belt schlemiel-comedians. Weber, like Berger, thinks it has changed with Marc Maron whose comedy is not based on such resentment. However, as we can see here, it carries on into Howard's performance.
Most importantly, Howard's obsession with his mother, Sharknado, or about this or that detail, seem to work to distract him from the world and the political. And his admission that he is "half-a-man" seem to give us a reason for this need to distract himself. However, this is, as I have been stating, what seems to be the case. What makes Stern so interesting is that we all know he is living a normal life with a high profile model. And even though he often jokes about his sexual performance, the audience sees him as a man-of-sorts.
But this is what gets the listener. The overlapping of the distracted schlemiel and the real Howard Stern who has the power to spur millions of his listeners to this or that political action creates a fascinating figure.
The end of this segment, when seen in contrast to what was said before, discloses this figure.
When asked to discuss what he thought of the Rolling Stone cover with Dzhokar Tsarnaev, Stern doesn't work by way of any indirection. He comments on the message it communicates to the people and not to academics. He doesn't want to see him made into a rock star. And he takes on the position of the victims to explain his point: "If I had my kid killed or my legs blown off by that kid, I certainly wouldn't want to see him on the cover of Rolling Stone."
What I find interesting about Stern is that he moves in and out of the Schlemiel persona. And he does so for certain reasons. It seems this above comment on the Rolling Stone cover was his "superman" moment since it is couched in the midst of his self-deprecation ("I am half-a-man") and his numerous indirections (about Sharknado, Al Sharpton's girlfriend and how Sharpton appears on camera, and imitations of his mother kvetching).
Regardless of whether or not you agree with what Stern chooses to emphasize, I think I learned and you have seen how, at least in this instance, he plays the schlemiel and what this may imply.
I hope to, in the near future, come back to Howard's Schlemiel persona. My friends were right. Stern does play the schlemiel. And, as I've shown, this performance, when it is at its best, traverses the edge of the political.

Q: macOS - No executable found matching command "dotnet-watch" I am using the dotnet cli with macOS Sierra 10.12.6
I have typed this command:
dotnet new web
dotnet run
So far so good.
When I have change:
app.Run(async (context) =>
            {
                await context.Response.WriteAsync("Hello World");
            });

as per: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIkpVzqLuhA
and refresh the browser, nothing happens. I thought that this might need the watch package, so typed:
dotnet add package Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools --version 2.0.0
Which installs successfully; csproj contains:
 <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.5" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

when I try to run dotnet watch or dotnet watch run, I get the error:
No executable found matching command "dotnet-watch"

A: The CLI tool needs to be referenced as DotNetCliToolReference instead of PackageReference:
<ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

Currently, there is no CLI command to add a DotNetCliToolReference. In .NET Core 2.1, the watch command may be included with the CLI and the tools installation experience will be different (dotnet watch will be a global tool instead of a project-local tool).

We're seeing bond markets pull back after stronger-than-expected Chinese manufacturing PMI data and increased optimism that a Trump/China trade deal will be inked soon. China is looking to extend its suspension of retaliatory tariffs on US cars and include the opioid fentanyl on its list of controlled substances—very positive developments, as China's Vice Premier Liu is due in Washington on Wednesday to continue trade talks.
Interest rates, which were due for pullback after the massive rally in March, are higher across the board with the yield on the 10-year up to 2.48%. Fundamentally, the bull market is still intact despite this pullback, and the forward rate markets are still pricing in two rate cuts by the Fed over the next two years. The 10-year is still expected to move close to 2.0% over the long run, yet we could see the yield move up into the mid-2.50s on this pullback. Just this morning, a report showed consumption was slowing as February Retail Sales Ex Autos are down -.4% vs. the +.3% that was expected. Take out gas, and that number worsened to -.6% vs. the +.3% that was expected.
While the bond market hangover should last throughout most of the week, the market will be waiting for Friday's February Employment report to see which way to move.

Q: Handling multiple forms for a single resource on a single page I have a page on my rails application where a user can see and change his information.
For UX reasons, the page is divided into several forms. Each form is used to update a particular set of details, for instance there is a form for general details (name, email address), one for password changes etc.
At the moment, I have only one form, but I'd like to add a few others. What is the best way to handle this? I have two main guess but can't figure out which one would suit best.
1 - Associate an "id" to each form and add some if else statements inside my "update" action in my user controller.
2 - Create new functions (update_password, update_general_info) within my controller and have a go with the routes.
What would be the best solution and a fashionable way to design it?
Cheers

A: One way to do this is to give a name and value to the submit buttons for each of the forms.
<%= f.submit 'Update Password' %>

Which will render the following HTML:
<input type="submit" value="Update Password" name="commit" />

Then in the controller you could add a case or if to check for that parameter.
def update
  case params[:commit]
  when "Update Password"
    # Update the Password
  when "Update Address"
    # Update the address
  else
    # Default case
  end

  #...
end

The big downside here is that it couples the display HTML to the controller -- you can't change the button text without updating the controller.


SEMS (Security Efficiency Management) System is a top level management system that integrates all the SMART products but uniclazy can integrate with third party products, to provide Live and historical data for all airport security systems. Using SEMS will increase the operational efficiency of the Airport and allow the Airport to operate on a live and intuitive basis rather than a historic data.
SEMS offers real time data collection, event reports on demand, daily weekly, monthly and statistical analysis, service level agreement management tools, facility and personnel performance management reports. With the seamless integration to all the key Airport systems the KPI indicators can automatically respond in advance to potential problem areas and direct the necessary departments, management, troubleshooting staff to the area of concern.
SEMS collects data in which can easily be retrieved to look into High amount of rejects and threats by airline or destination, highlight areas of training concern, and also highlight areas on the processes that are creating bottle necks in the systems.
The SEMS system is structured to provide the platform for the latest Government Security intuitive for an Outcome Focus Risk Based Approach' (OFRB), The new Government Initiative is designed to offer the Airport further autonomy in the way they manage their own security applications with a view to recognising that one solution actually doesn't fit all. This initiative is designed to enhance the customer service reducing the passenger delays and increasing the passenger security by applying the OFRB Approach.

OPINION: Do you get stuck on your child's homework?
Do you help your child with their homework? With a new study revealing how parents are struggling to help their kids with their homework, has it gone too far?
The average Australian parent finished high school at least 14 years ago, so it's not surprising that 88% of mothers and fathers admit they're unable to always help their children with school homework.
A new study from Yourtutor.com.au reveals that although one third of Australian children struggle with homework at least weekly, most parents aren't able to offer a solution.
Lack of time, inadequate levels of knowledge, and an inability to afford support services were the main reasons for the barrier, with 62% of parents with teens stressing that times had drastically changed since they were their children's age.
"While parents have the best intentions, they're often not able to help and this can lead to stress and arguments within families," say Jack Goodman, father of three and Founder of Yourtutor.com.au.
It's no surprise that maths and science are the two subjects stumping the highest number of parents, with 60% admitting these are their biggest struggle.
39% of mums and dads also reveal that they aren't even able to understand primary level maths homework.
What do you think? Should we be helping our children with their homework? Do you get stuck when trying to assist?

You can take a look around and see many have. If you are going to get a BOV, why continue to recirculate that hot air back into the intake? Just let it vent to atmosphere and put less hot air in the turbo/inter cooler.
Since our system uses a MAP and not a MAF, where the air gets in won't matter and the recirculated air isn't measured by the computer until it hits the MAP after it is mixed with other incoming air from the filter, so remover of the diverter isn't an issue for our cars.
Out of curiosity. Would that splitter fit on our car? And what blow off valves do you recommend?
And do any bolt on with minimum work to fit?
I am not sure if that splitter would fit. If it does, it would probably require some modifications. The description lists compatible vehicles and does not include hyundai. As far as BOV, there are many so it will come a lot to preference. You can got as simple as the BOV plate for our car, or get an adapter to a real BOV.
I would need the hardware kit correct?
Drives 2012 Sonata Turbo 1998 Eclipse GS (420a Turbo w/ 450 whp) SOLD!
HKS FTW - Yes I'm yelling it.
It really is the best one out there and will seal at **** near any pressure. I have had several turbo cars before this one, 3 of them have had the HKS SSQV. The others had cheaper valves, my Eclipse had the Turbo XS RFL, and I had to add stacks of washers to get it to seal.
My 2012 uses a genuine HKS SSQV V4 with a custom cold pipe that has the flange welded to it. You can use the torque solutions adapter if you still have the stock charge pipe.
You can get the adapter on ebay, but get the HKS Bov from an authorized HKS dealer. Z1 Motosports is where I got mine from.
Pics before and after the fmic upgrade so you can see how the adapter mounts up to the stock pipe.


whenever I'm trying to turn left (north) onto almaden from San Fernando, the sensor never detects my bike requiring me to make a dangerous turn on a red arrow.
Today the sensor didn't even detect cars in the lane, never giving them the green light.
This still doesn't work right most of the time.
At the intersection of 5th and San Salvador, many students and neighborhood pedestrians face a constant battle for safety while trying to cross San Salvador to reach the SJSU campus.
At the intersection there is both heavy auto traffic due to the two parking garages in close proximity, and heavy foot traffic due to off campus student housing on adjacent blocks as well as the SJSU Park and Ride Shuttle stop.
I ride a bike, and since it is harder to run across the street with it, I have to wait longer to cross San Salvador than other students who can dash in between cars that pile up at the 4th street traffic light.
Eastbound Park Avenue (heading toward downtown) is badly worn and deformed from heavy traffic, causing cars to scrape against the road.
The City of San Jose is not affiliated with SeeClickFix in any way. For street damage please contact the Department of Transportation's 24-hour emergency dispatch at: (408) 794-1900 weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Light pole in front of house is being tagged a lot. Needs repainting it.
Form a community service group to help repaint it and put security cameras/alarms near-bye and notice the police.
They will need to address the light is in front of, also the numbers listed on the actual street light.
It can take up to 14 days to fix.
Good luck! Mine was fixed quickly after contacting them.

What is the best type of building for collaborative research?
29/04/2016 | Written by:	Andy Parker
The image we used to have of big scientific research is something that could double as the villain's lair in a James Bond movie – brutal, impenetrable, and heavily gated. Not all science was like that but a lot of it, particularly in biomedicine and pharma, certainly was.
There were secrets to protect and the animal rights crowd to keep out, whether or not animal testing was actually taking place. There was also science that was remote for other reasons—the idea that a campus setting was the best way to stimulate discovery and innovation, in a similar way to many universities.
Science and big pharma are now coming in from the cold and looking to become more open and collaborative. BuroHappold Engineering recently hosted a Higher Education Design Quality Forum evening focussing on how different environments can promote collaborative innovation, often between universities and commercial organisations. With four big players in the sector, we heard about four very different sorts of science experience.
The first story was about Ri.Med in Palermo and was told by Alessando Padova, its CEO. Ri.Med is a collaborative work-in-progress venture between Sicily, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre. Their planned new campus will create a global hub and centre of excellence for bio-medical research, in part to fill some of the gap left in corporate R&D capability as a result of the mergers in the science and pharma industries. The approach is about integrating different entities and areas of expertise. The facility is open, has lots of glass and is organised as a 'village', with small groupings forming part of a bigger whole; very different from the leviathan institutions of the last few decades .
The second tale was from AstraZeneca, the massively international firm, with a presence in 100 countries and headquartered in the UK. Their HQ setting used to be in the bucolic setting of Alderley Park in Cheshire. The arrival of a new CEO who instigated a curiosity-led approach rather than a product-led one saw the firm up sticks and relocate to Cambridge, where they had previously only had a small presence, in order to promote collaboration with the massive intellectual capital available in and around the University. The story they and Tomislav Dushanov of architects Herzog & de Meuron told was the process of building the brief to get the headquarters that they thought would crystallise the massive cultural changes they are making in how the firm goes about discovery. It is real 'we shape our buildings and they shape us' stuff—open, big but on a human scale, a courtyard reference to the collegiate nature of the University of Cambridge and an honesty about materials—concrete, wood and glass, lots of glass; in fact glass and the transparency that comes with it was the leitmotif of the evening. As to whether this building works and will cement a curiosity-led approach, as with Ri.Med we will have to wait for the completion and bedding down of the building.
The Crick story, told by HoK architect David King was similar in many respects. It is a showcase British science building with University, charity and commercial partners crammed into a congested and difficult site to put London bio-med at the centre of city life, with easy access to local, regional and international collaborators. Drawing the community in and opening up part of the science engine for scrutiny is part of the brief and it looks to do this well, making this evolving quarter of London, and indeed London itself, much more interesting and relevant.
Finally, we heard from Professor Mike Curtis, one of the key driving forces behind Queen Mary University of London's Blizard Building . In terms of where research buildings are now heading, this was something of a trailblazer. It has been in operation for over 10 years and exhibits the key principles that are being explored by Ri.Med, AstraZeneca and the Crick – a contemporary, open and transparent building located firmly in a community and seeking to use its architecture to forge links with that community and with communities beyond the immediate locale. The Blizard is on multiple missions; world class science, being a vector for better health in the East End, lifting the science aspirations for the local school children—there was a lovely testimonial from a child who said she would not have considered Cambridge had it not been for the Blizard—and being amongst the community to conduct genomic research, particularly around knockout genes. This is a super important area for Pharma research, the condition where people have genes that are not working but with no apparent effect on the person. It happens that the Bangladeshi community that surround QMUL and the Blizard are a very rich resource for this research and that getting the information is not a quick mouth swab but an on-going process. Ground breaking research from QMUL on knockout genes was published last month in Science Magazine [1].
What did we learn from these fascinating case studies? The workshop was entitled 'Cottage or Factory' and asked the question "What is the best type of building for collaborative research?" Something big, space-age and all-encompassing or something smaller, perhaps more modest, that relies on what others are doing nearby for its connectivity. While we did not get any real evidence as to the answer to that particular question, because either the buildings were not operational or there was no comparative context, we did get a lot of insight into the way things are headed with these four utterly fascinating buildings. Openness, whether partial, illusory, or actual is a really big deal for science. It matters for collaboration, and this is the thrust of the Ri.Med's village, seeking in part to compensate for a loss of industrial R&D capacity brought on by mergers; it matters for AstraZeneca whose researchers need swim more in the science milieu of Cambridge; it matters for the Crick who have a showcase approach to get themselves the best scientists; and it matters for the Blizard who want to take those around them on a different journey. With this comes exciting architecture that is not just compelling in form but also needs to celebrate what is happening inside, by lots of transparency, by intriguing lines of sight into the interior and, in the case of the Blizard, by tantalisingly placed Will Alsop pods that speak of fun stuff happening without spoiling the plot. Science has come further in from the cold with the Blizard's next pod, this time outside of the building and, in this way, it extends the way science engages with the public. We look to see whether the idea catches on.

Frey Father Bartolomé de Las Casas
Father – Frey Bartolomé de Las Casas was so many things to so many people. He was part of the original colonization of Santo Domingo. He fought for human rights in defense of the Indigenous peoples of Hispaniola.
Painting of Frey Bartolomé de Las Casas
Books By Las Casas
Frey Bartolomé de Las Casas was a Spanish colonist, a priest, a friar, the founder of a Utopian community and first Bishop of Chiapas. He was a scholar, historian and 16th century human rights advocate. Las Casas has been called the Father of anti-imperialism and anti-racism. Considered by some to be a saint and by others to be a fanatic and close to insanity.
Las Casas to this day is still very much an icon. He is the symbol of justice and the fight for human rights in Latin America. He led the way for many peoples fight for freedom and human rights. So, no matter what people thought of this Dominican monk, he made a great influence in the life and culture of the world.
It is interesting to note his birth and death years. 1484*-1566*. There are many different dates for the time of Las Casas birth and death. Originally it was said he was born 1474 but after some scholars did some studying they discovered he was really born much later in 1484. So now history has change and his official birth date is November 16, 1484. Las Casas died, some reports say on July 17th and others say the 18th, 1566 when he was either 81 or 82 years of age.
The statue honoring Las Casas located in the Plaza Bartolomé de Las Casas in the Ciudad Colonial
Las Casas was born in Spain and studied in the Cathedral school of Sevillana. He came to Hispaniola with the expedition of Nicholas de Ovando in 1502. He participated in some campaigns of conquest on the island and left for Rome in 1507. When he returned was granted an allotment of Indians by Diego Columbus.
Padre las Casas was the first to hold mass for the Indians in the Americas. A sermon of Fray Pedro of Cordova in favor of the Indians helped to unite the fight in the defense of the exploded Taino Indians. He intervened with the head of the Dominican priests to look for the solution to the problem of the indigenous peoples. As of that moment, the young priest became the lawyer of the mistreated Native race. With that aim he traveled to Spain, where he met with King Fernando the Catholic, at the end of 1515. He gained nothing with that interview.
After the Death of King Fernando, Cardinal Cisneros replaced him in the Court. Finally, with Cardinal Cisneros at the head, Bartolomé was able to form a group, administered by Spaniards and helped by monks, to aid the indigenous peoples of the island. Still, the people in charge did not want to give freedom to the Indians.
Las Casas returned to Spain, where meeting with the new Monarch Carlos V, proposed new plans to improve the life of the Indians. One of the proposals of the Father the Houses was the one to replace the indigenous population with black Africans. This proposal was accepted but it did not improve the situation of the Indian. The Indians of Hispaniola disappeared quickly, in spite of the effort of Las Casas to protect them.
When there were very few indigenous Indians left on the island Las Casas went to the newly conquered territories and continued with his defense of the natives. He was against the violent conquest of the territories and always protested against the great slaughtering carried on by the conquerors.
It is also interesting to note that Las Casas, while fighting for the rights of the Natives did not fight for the rights of the African Slaves. He did not want Indian slavery but he still used African slaves. Bartolomé de las Casas eventually came to the realization that all forms of slavery were wrong and inhumane. In The History of the Indies published in 1527 Las Casas is quoted saying "I soon repented and judged myself guilty of ignorance. I came to realize that black slavery was as unjust as Indian slavery…
and I was not sure that my ignorance and good faith would secure me in the eyes of God."
Las Casas fought in several locations of South and Central America trying to prevent the extermination of the Indians. While in Peru he preached against the violence of Pizarro in the conquest of the Incan Empire. For this reason he was transferred and imprisoned in Santo Domingo in 1533.
Bartolomé continued his fight in 1535 when he was released from prison and continued on to Central America. In Guatemala he made an attempt of pacific conquest.
An interesting quote by Las Casas:
"The reason why the Christians have killed and destroyed such an infinite number of souls is that they have been moved by their wish for gold and their desire to enrich themselves in a very short time"
Las Casas Books
Las Casas fought for the rights of the Indians until his death in July 1566. He wrote several important works about the conquest and Spanish colonization in Las Americas. The books "Apologética" and the "Historia de Las Indias" (History of the Indians") are the most recognized. In his will he signed over all his writings to the College of San Gregorio.
Some writings of Las Casas
*Apologetic History of the Indies
*History of the Indies
*Spanish Cruelties
*A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies
*Comprobatory Treatise on the Imperial Sovereignty and Universal Jurisdiction which the Kings of Castile Have over these Indies

Iglesia Convento de Los Dominicos / Church and Convent of the Dominicos
The Church and Convent of the Order of the Dominicos is one of the original churches of Colonial Santo Domingo. This was also the home of the first university in the New World.
Iglesia Convento de Los Dominicos | First University | Architecture | Capilla Nuestra Señora del Rosario | Hours and Location
Also known as – Convento e Iglesia de los Padres Dominicos/ Monastery (Convent) and Church of the Dominican Fathers (Order), Imperial Convento de Santo Domingo and Convento de la Orden de los Predicadores o frailes Dominicos/ Convent of the Order of Preachers or Dominicos Friars.
The front entrance to the Iglesia de Los Dominicos
The history of one of the original convents and churches of the Colonial Era.
The church is part of The United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) and what makes the Colonial Zone such a special place.
With the arrival of Columbus to the island of Hispaniola in 1492 the process of colonization started. In Autumn 1508 the abbot general of the Order of the Dominicos sent word to the King of Spain that they needed to send representatives to Hispaniola. Finally, in 1510 it was agreed to send fifteen friars to Santo Domingo.
The back side of the chirch is the Convento de Los Dominicos
When the delegated representatives started arriving they stayed in a meager wooden home. The person living there got booted so the friars had a place to stay. The building of the chapel progressed very slowly as there was no cash allotted or sent for its construction.
In the mean time, the friars held meetings and gave their sermons in different parts of the city while waiting for the construction to be completed.
Interior of the Iglesia de los Padres Dominicos
It took a long time to get the chapel built because Spain really did not care to send money for the construction work. Frey Bartolomé de Las Casas, who was in charge of the church in the mid 1500's, eventually sent fray Antonio de Montesino to petition the King for some aide. Finally in 1522, nine years later, Spain came up with the cash and Montecinos hired a builder. There is no real information if this builder ever came to the island or not. Also, there is not much on record of the construction of the building.

In 1531-1532 they had the official inauguration of the chapel. Some of the important persons in attendance were Pedro de Córdoba, Reginaldo de Montesinos, Bartolomé de las Casas y Antonio de Montesinos.
The first university in America
In 1534 the convent began holding classes, and in 1538 became the first university in America by the order of Bula In Apostolatus Culmine, with the blessings of Papa Paulo III / Pope Paul the Third. The original name was Universidad de Santo Tomás de Aquino and later it was changed to the Universidad Primada de América / First University of America.
The back of the Iglesia de los Padres Dominicos
The building was constructed with a mix of architectural styles including Elizabethan Gothic, Baroque and Gothic. The exterior has many different statues and images that are the works of brothers Jorge y Ajejo Fernández from Seville. In the Sixteenth century (Siglo XVI) the entrance to the building boasts five altarpieces; one is painted by Juan Martínez Montañés, a very famous painter of the colonial era.
In 1588 the building was in bad repair. It was too small for all who lived within its walls. Finally, they got money to repair and rebuild. The reconstruction left a few of the original walls incorporated into the building.
On the outside looking in at the Iglesia de los Padres Dominicos
The building has been destroyed many times throughout the years but has always been rebuilt.
1545 – A windstorm knocked down the belfry.
1586 – Sir Francis Drake severely damaged the building when he invaded Hispaniola.
1673 – This huge earthquake destroyed parts of the building
1684 – Later another earthquake collapsed the roof of the building
In 1681 the building was said to be in very bad shape. The wooden roof needed to be replaced and the entire structure had to be re-worked. Finally, in 1746 the roof was reconstructed to be a barrel vault type roof.
The interior of the Iglesia de los Padres Dominicos on Palm Sunday
There are 5 small chapels inside the church
Capilla del Sagrado, Capilla del Rosario, Capilla de Solano, Capilla de la Altagracia and Capilla del Pilar.
Capilla Nuestra Señora del Rosario/ Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary
The Fiesta del Rosario is a very solemn event held in the city. This chapel is part of the Church of the Dominican Order. The interior has almost a sun looking vaulted roof above the altar. The way the high windows let in the light adds to the look. As in the XVII Century style, the art above the dome shows God-like bearded men amidst planets and clouds.
Interior of the Iglesia, close up of the interior ceiling
The entrance has Gothic Baroque styles and shows chaos. There are statues of Saint Peter and Paul, busts of Saint Thomas and Peter the Martyr. There are representations of other saints as well as signs representing faith and hope.
The top has a representation of the Virgin handing Santo Domingo the rosary. At the bottom of this archway are monsters representing the chaotic forces of the world.

When the building was restored in 1746 and the vaulted ceiling was added many there were many other additions as well. A sun was added in the center supported at 4 points, the cardinal points of the universe. These 4 points are masculine representations of the planets (Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Mercury the feminine planets, Venus and Luna, are excluded and not represented), 4 temptations and the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
English Touring Theatre
New Wolsey, Ipswich
Cat on Hot Tin Roof Credit: English Touring Theatre
Oliver Johnstone & Siena Kelly - Cat on Hot Tin Roof Credit: Marc Brenner
During COVID we have been somewhat starved of classic drama, but English Touring Theatre is here to redress the balance with a first class production of one of Tennessee Williams's best known works.
Williams wrote this play in the early 1950s based on a short story he had previously published. Set in the Mississippi delta over one hot summer evening, it has all his typical characteristics: tense, intimate scenes, layered characters and big themes of betrayal, lies and death. And these are all exploited to the full by this very talented company.
The plot evolves around the Pollitt family as they celebrate the patriarch Big Daddy's 65th birthday, while keeping from him the knowledge that he has terminal cancer. This is what underlines and underpins each of the unravelling relationships that are played out during the production, the surfeit of lies that each character has constructed around it, and the impact it will have on themselves.
The main protagonists—and the main centre of attention in the first half of the play—are younger son Brick, a washed-up alcoholic adrift after losing his football career to injury and the death of his best friend, and his sensuous wife Maggie, with whom he has fallen out of love.
Theirs is a relationship forged in passion and broken on the wheel of disappointment and betrayal and Oliver Johnstone and Siena Kelly play these two flawed characters to perfection. Brick is the perfect balance of the laconic and the hopeless yet concealing a propensity for violent rage. Maggie is teasing, alluring, aware of the power of her body yet unable to break through the barriers Brick has raised up against her. Their chemistry is at times palatable.
Towards the end of the first half, we meet the other members of the family. Older brother Gooper (Sam Alexander), always on the outside of his parents love, married to 'hard as nails' Mae (Shanaya Rafaat), who has produced five children and is expecting a sixth—and both eyeing up what they hope will be their rich reward in the shape of the family estate.
Then there's Big Daddy himself: a brute of a man in every sense who earned his money and position the hard way and has no time for those he thinks of as weak. Played by Peter Forbes revelling in bringing out every drop of his nastiness, this is a fine portrayal of the worst type of bully and misogynist.
The butt of a lot of his diatribe is his long-suffering wife, Big Mamma. She can be played as a match to him, but in this production is played with patient resignation by Teresa Banham, and who was maybe the only actor slightly miscast being rather too young and glamorous for his jibes to really be believed.
The set is as minimal as you can get—just a table in the middle of the stage surrounded at the start by a diaphanous curtain which somewhat obscures the opening scene and does nothing to suggest the sweltering deep south. It was a relief when it was pulled down and the actors given space to flourish.
There are a number of raised levels to give structure but most of the props are mimed and there is very little in the way of costume change. But this does allow the play and the characters to speak for themselves and once the conventions were set it didn't detract.
This is a powerful production with a raw delivery that is at times uncomfortable to watch as it exposes the layers of pain and hurt during intimate exchanges, yet is absorbing and challenging in equal measure. We are eavesdropping on family relationships that are ultimately fractured beyond repair but are as relevant and as emphatic today as when they were written.
There is strong language and adult themes throughout, but this is a well directed production by Anthony Almedia of a superbly written and performed drama that will leave you both shaken and stirred. Well worth seeing.

Health spending accounts for about half of most provincial budgets, and with looming deficits across Canada many health authorities are looking for ways to outsource. Enter the "lean thinking" philosophy of Ken Lum and John DeHart, co-founders of private home health-care services provider Nurse Next Door.
The Vancouver-based franchise operation has been offering medical and non-medical services since 2001 and meticulously measures everything the company does: digitally tracking the on-time performance of its almost 4,000 caregivers, charting daily satisfaction scores from clients and caregivers alike, and conducting weekly meeting at head office to discuss ways for continuous improvement.
If it sounds vaguely like 1980s management science, it is: Nurse Next Door, adapting the Six Sigma training made famous by GE, Toyota and others, has a dedicated "lean sensei" to guide the company's quality-control efforts. In the bureaucracy-laden health-care field, Nurse Next Door's efforts are positively revolutionary, which is why the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health authorities have recently toured their facilities in the hopes of learning more.

Foreign election interference is hilarious, nyet?

President Trump joked with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia's interference in US elections and made light of "getting rid" of journalists during the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
During a photo op with the two leaders Friday, Trump was asked by an NBC News journalist whether he would tell Putin not to meddle in the 2020 US elections.
Trump replied with a grin, "Yes, of course, I will."
"Don't meddle in the election, President," Trump said dismissively.
"Don't meddle in the election," he repeated while pointing his finger at Putin.
Putin grinned back.
Here's that moment again.

The Mueller report and American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election with the goal of helping Trump beat Hillary Clinton.
Former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference also identified numerous links between people with ties to the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign, "although the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges," the report said.
Mueller, in his only public statement after the report, said Russia "launched a concerted attack on our political system" and that there were "multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election."
Former US president Jimmy Carter on Friday suggested that Trump was an illegitimate president, according to a USA Today journalist present at a human rights conference where he was speaking.
Carter said that a full investigation "would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016 ... He was put into office because the Russians interfered."
Trump has been consistently slammed for his soft stance toward Russia's meddling and his cozying up to Putin.

"Don't meddle in the elections."
Tee hee.
At the G-20 summit, the two leaders also expressed their shared disdain for journalists, joking at the expense of reporters during the photo op.
"Get rid of them," Trump said. "Fake news is a great term, isn't it? You don't have this problem in Russia but we do," Trump said.
Putin replied in English, "We also have. It's the same."
Dozens of Russian journalists have been murdered in recent years, many of whom held the government and other powerful institutions accountable in their work.
Trump has frequently declared that the media is the "enemy of the people," and journalists are often faced with vitriolic attacks from his supporters at rallies and threats of violence.

Q: What is a system of representatives of the residue field in its ring R? Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring, with field of fractions K and residue field $\hat{K}$. Let S be a system of representatives of $\hat{K}$ in R.
Can someone please explain to me what a system of representatives is here?

A: A set of elements of $R$ such that each class modulo the maximal ideal of $R$ contains exactly one element of the set.


Belva Lockwood grew up on a farm in upstate New York where she wasn't afraid "of snakes or rats or nothing." She grew up to prove that. Ignoring her father, she packed up and went to college, fought for a girl's right to take public speaking and physical education classes and went on to get into law school, graduate and fight to get her diploma.
In 1879 she became the first woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, turned her eye on getting the vote for women, and ran as a candidate for the U.S. presidency.
A story of a gutsy woman who knew no limits and expected none, told through the voice of story that makes her feel like a bit of a tall tale heroine. Wonderful to introduce her to our girls and our boys so they can understand the path of gender equality.
Would make a great pairing with Girl Running.
Today was International Women's Day. To commemorate the event, The New York Times published a piece entitled "Women We Overlooked in 167 Years of Obituary Writing." The Times included fifteen women in the article, all fine choices including Ida Mae Wells, Charlotte Brontë, Ada Lovelace, and Emily Warren Roebling.
The Times could well have also included Belva Lockwood. I know that from reading the illuminating picture book, A LADY HAS THE FLOOR by Kate Hannigan and Alison Jay.
Alison Jay's illustrations, with their crackle-varnish finish, have such a distinctive style that, from a mile away, you can tell that a picture book is her work. I'm very fond of her style, and was drawn to this book in the Women's History display of my local independent bookstore. Reading it, I was excited to discover one more great woman hero in our national history.
Starting on a farm in upstate New York, Belva Lockwood's journey involved a lot of men telling her no. Women are better off today thanks to Belva Lockwood refusing to be deterred. Ms. Lockwood spoke out for equal pay as a teenage teacher who was paid half the wages of her male counterparts. She later fought to get into college and then fought for equal opportunities for the few women there. (You'll be astounded by the jaw-dropping details.) She then fought to get into law school and fought for equal opportunities for women there, too.
Are you starting to get the picture? This lady really stood up for herself and was one helluva fighter for women's rights.
Many of Alison Jay's wonderful illustrations include quotes from Belva Lockwood. The source of each quote is listed in the extensive backmatter.
You'll enjoy meeting Belva Lockwood. Perhaps The Times will include her in next year's commemoration.

Newcastle born outside left Tom Cochrane began his football career with Tyneside League St Peter's Albion in 1927 and turned professional with Leeds United in August 1928, making his Football League debut in October 1928 against Manchester City. Although Leeds were relegated in 1931 he missed only one game as they were immediately promoted back to the First Division in 1932 as Second Division runners up. After 27 goals in 259 appearances for the Elland Road club he moved to Middlesbrough in October 1936 for £2,500 and had three good years there, highlighted by scoring four goals in the 6-1 rout of Manchester City at Maine Road in March 1938. He scored 16 goals in 81 games before leaving in May 1939 to join Bradford Park Avenue for £1,100, playing in the first 3 games of the abandoned 1939-40 season and continuing to play wartime football for various clubs including Bradford City, Darlington, Hartlepools United and Middlesbrough before his retirement after the 1944-45 season prior to the resumption of peacetime football.

The married man told the court he spent "more than $900,000 on women that I met online."
If you were under the impression that your favorite wine shop is a place free of money grubbing schemes and fiscal corruption, one California man might make you think twice. John Fox, owner of upscale Berkeley wine shop Premier Cru, pled guilty this week to scamming his trusting customers out of a staggering $45 million.
Fox confessed to defrauding his shop's patrons out of millions every year in order to pay off expensive home mortgage payments, credit card bills, golf club membership fees, and the purchase or lease of a variety of expensive cars, including Ferraris, Corvettes, Mercedes-Benzes, and a Maserati, according to Wine Spectator. The married man also told the court he spent "more than $900,000 on women that I met online."
The Premier Cru owner managed to pull of this multi-million dollar windfall via a Ponzi scheme in which Fox encouraged customers to pay him the big bucks for wine that would allegedly be delivered within two years. The shop, which Fox cofounded with manager Hector Ortega in 1980, had built a reputation in the fine wine world, making customers all the more susceptible to being hoodwinked.
In his court statements, Fox confessed that he sold these phantom wines "based on the premise that Premier Cru would contract to buy wine from Europe... and then sell it to customers before it arrived in the United States." In order to fool the customers into taking this deal, the shop owner would create false purchase orders and enter them into their inventory. This practice, which altogether tricked 4,500 customers, began in 1993 or 1994, and escalated for years. In the period of 2010-2015 alone, the shop took in $20 million from the sale of the faux bottles.
Though facing up to 20 years in prison, thanks to a plea agreement Fox will serve a maximum of six years and six months for his schemes. He'll also have to provide $45 million in restitution back to the customers he tricked. We're guessing that means he'll be saying farewell to his Maserati—and his career in the wine world—forever.

Rapid Fire: Nowitzki's go-ahead basket with 2.1 seconds left seals victory for Mavs
Written by Michael LarkPosted on January 27, 2016 December 30, 2016 Leave a comment
A late-night West Coast Mavs game against the Kobe-less nine-win Los Angles Lakers. What could be better?
How about a Dirk Nowitzki game winner with 2.1 seconds left?
In their 10th straight win over Los Angeles, the Dallas Mavericks (26-21) defeated the Lakers 92-90, end a two-game losing streak.
In what what had been billed as the Dirk vs. Kobe Finale, ended up being a huge disappointment for fans of the Black Mamba. Before the game even started, the Lakers (9-38) announced that Kobe Bryant would be out due to a sore right shoulder. Mavericks point guard Devin Harris (toe) and center Zaza Pachulia (Achilles) also sat out with injuries.
While Mavs were unable to click on all cylinders collectively, individually they took turns carrying the team to victory.
In the first quarter it was Parsons. The Mavs led by as much as nine points before a 9-0 run gave the Lakers the lead with 3:08 left in the first quarter. Dallas came storming back with an 8-0 run to take a 32-25 lead into the second quarter led behind 11 points from Parsons within the first six minutes of the game. Parsons finished the game with 17 points.
Then, in second quarter it was the JJ Barea show. The Small Baller from the PR scored 10 of his 18 points in the period, but it wasn't enough and the Lakers took a 58-56 lead into the half. Oddly enough, Dirk Nowitzki finished the first half with just 3 points after going 0 of 4 from the field with 3 personal fouls and a technical, but somehow managed to lead Dallas with a plus-15 net rating.
In the third quarter, Deron Williams took over. D-Will led the Mavs with 9 points in the period, including a couple of key baskets during a Mavs 9-0 run to keep the Dallas within one point headed into the fourth quarter. Williams finished the game with just 11 points, playing the majority of the first half with foul trouble.
Surely the Mavs couldn't lose to a Kobe-less, nine-win Lakers right? Right?
Despite struggling most of night the Mavs went straight to their fearless leader to close out the fourth. Tied at 90, Nowitzki sunk another one of his signature, high-arching shots over Lakers forward Julius Randle to put the Mavs up by two points with just 2.1 left in the game.
Respect between legends.#DALatLAL https://t.co/mBYmQ6IRVa

"It was a great shot. It was extremely well-timed and I noticed after he hit he gave Kobe a little tap," Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle said after the game. "One of the all-time great clutch players. Doing what he does. It's amazing what he keeps doing, the way he does it."
Randle missed a last second heave at the buzzer following a Lakers timeout, to ultimately seal the victory for the Mavs.
