La tecnica è utilizzata per effettuare misurazioni di alta precisione del Fattore-g degli elettroni. Dehmelt e Paul sono stati premiati con 1/4 di premio ciascuno. L'altra metà del premio è stata assegnata a Norman Foster Ramsey, con una diversa motivazione.

Biografia
All'età di dieci anni, Dehmelt si iscrive al Berlinisches Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, con una borsa di studio. Dopo il diploma (1940) si arruola volontario nell'esercito tedesco. Gli viene ordinato di iscriversi all'Università di Breslavia per studiare fisica, cosa che avviene nel 1943. Dopo un anno di studio torna al servizio militare e viene fatto prigioniero durante la Battaglia delle Ardenne.

Rilasciato dagli statunitensi nel 1946, Dehmelt torna agli studi di fisica all'Università di Gottinga. Qui, per pagarsi gli studi, ripara e intraprende la compravendita di vecchi apparecchi radio. Completa la tesi nel 1948 e ottiene il dottorato nel 1950, sempre all'Università di Gottinga. Viene poi invitato alla Università Duke come associato post-dottorato e si trasferisce negli Stati Uniti nel 1952.

Diviene assistente professore all'Università di Washington a Seattle nel 1955; nel 1958 diventa professore associato e nel 1961 professore ordinario. È proprio presso quest'ateneo che conduce i suoi studi sulla trappola ionica, dove rimane fino al pensionamento, avvenuto nell'ottobre del 2002.

Vita privata
Dehmelt aveva sposato Irgmard Lassow, poi deceduta. La coppia aveva un figlio, Gerd. In seguito Dehmelt si è risposato con Diana Dundore.

Premi e riconoscimenti
 Premio Davisson-Germer nel 1970;
 Premio Rumford nel 1985;
 Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1989;
 National Medal of Science nel 1995.

The defendant, Mr Wrench, offered to sell the farm he owned to the complainant, Mr Hyde. He offered to sell the property for £1,200, but this was declined by Mr Hyde. The defendant decided to write to the complainant with another offer; this time to sell the farm to him for £1,000. He made it clear that this would be his final offer regarding the property. In response, Mr Hyde offered £950 for the farm in his letter. This was refused by Mr Wrench and he confirmed this with the complainant. Mr Hyde then agreed to buy the farm for £1,000, which was the sum that had previously been offered. However, Mr Wrench refused to sell his farm.
The complainant brought an action for specific performance, claiming that as Mr Wrench refused to sell the farm, this was a breach of contract. The issue in this case was whether there was a valid contract between the parties and if a counter offer was made in discussions, whether the original offer would still remain open.
The court dismissed the claims and held that there was no binding contract for the farm between Mr Hyde and Mr Wrench. It was stated that when a counter offer is made, this supersedes and destroys the original offer. This original offer is no longer available or on the table. In this case, when Mr Hyde offered £950, he cancelled the £1,000 offer and could not back track and accept.

Powdery Mildew- What is it?
Not having to deal with Powdery Mildew at some point in your gardening adventures is rare, as Powdery Mildew is one of the most common garden ailments. Whether you've dealt with it before, or may deal with it in the future, we're going to break down what Powdery Mildew is, what it can do to your plants, and how it can be treated and prevented!
What is it, and what can it do?
Powdery Mildew is a fungal disease that is made up of many different fungal species. Each fungal species impacts different plants, sometimes just a couple of different plants may be impacted by one fungal species, and sometimes many more!
Like all fungi, Powdery Mildew reproduces through spores spread by the wind, insects, animals, and gardeners! The disease favors areas of high humidity, low air circulation, and shade.
Powdery Mildew on Dogwood leaves. We commonly see Powdery Mildew on Dogwoods.
Symptoms usually begin to appear as small white, dusty looking spots that eventually spread to cover the leaf's surface, giving it the powdery appearance that afforded Powdery Mildew its name. Leaves, flowers, or fruit that are covered in Powdery Mildew do not develop properly. Plants with Powdery Mildew tend to grow slowly, lose foliage, and have trouble photosynthesizing.
Although it's aesthetically unpleasing, Powdery Mildew alone does not usually kill plants- but it does weaken them enough to encourage secondary invaders (either insects or disease) that will be able to kill the plant because of its weakened state.
Make sure there is good air circulation between your plantings, which can be achieved either by selective pruning or considerate spacing when making your initial plantings.
Plant in sunny places whenever you can!
Remove and discard infected plant material to help discourage spreading the disease.
If you're unsure if your plants have Powdery Mildew, or you would like help with treatment or prevention, Contact Us to set an appointment with one of our Consulting Arborists.

View Full Version : Eye Doctor question?
I haven't been to the eye doc for a long time and my eyes are getting worse. I can't remember, is the examination covered by OHIP? Also can anyone recomend a good Dr.? Mine has vanished, lol.
Dr. cochamilio sp? Is awesome and a very sweet man.
No longer covered by ohip unless your under 19.
Adults must now pay the cost of eye exams.
Hubby just had his eyes tested with Dr. Coccimiglio and it cost 80 dollars for the exam.
Dr. Aceti is very good.
My kids and I have Dr. Simpson and my husband has Dr. Betello in the Churchill plaza. I find Simpson to be very nice, he is booking the end of Feburary (I just made appointments Thursday). You pay the eye exam right away, thankfully I can claim it through benefits.
My kids have dr hayes-sheen she is really good, I went to highschool with her. I have Dr whitfield but I wouldn't recommend him he's kinda quiet and weird. My husband has Dr Norris.
Dr. Simpson is great! He is my eye doctor too. I don't know anything about costs since I am diaetic it is covered for me.
$80!! Holy poop!! Wonder if i only get my one bad eye checked if it will only cost $40!! HAHA!! I remember getting contacts when I was younger and only being charged for the one, cause that is all I needed!! I thought that was histarical at the time!
If you are diabetic it is covered.
Any of the ones in Churchill Plaza are good.
Didn't see the other poster saying diabetics were covered. Sorry for the repeat!
I think seniors are covered after 65.
I have Betello and really like him!
I have very poor eyesight and I still have to pay for my exams. What do you mean by 'something wrong'?
Ohip use to pay for it, but just over 2 years ago they changed that. Now you have to pay for your exams.
Patients with any of the following conditions can go directly to their optometrist or physician to receive an OHIP insured eye examination: diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, cataract, retinal disease, amblyopia, visual field defects, corneal disease, strabismus.
Patients aged 20 to 64 who have conditions not listed above may also be covered for a regular eye examination. They should discuss this with their primary health care provider.

2020 Election: Political Polarization Showing Signs of Shifting Liberal Electorate
Posted on November 27, 2020 by theurbanllama
Has America lost its way?
The results from the 2020 Presidential Election showed a bitterly divided country. A majority of the population sought leadership from the medical science community throughout the current pandemic. The remaining 30-plus percent of the electorate had a problem with facts. They chose to receive life and death medical advice from a reality television host playing president. These are the same folks who consider the coronavirus "fake-news," and question whether 300,000-plus Americans really died from Covid-19.
If scientific results, or sourced news reporting for that matter, are no longer considered valid, uncomfortable truths can simply be swept away, replaced by fabricated narratives better suited to a conservative ethos. Neither is the rule of law respected by Trump and his followers. It's just something else to manipulate and get around.
The rub is facts matter. Pres. Trump is learning this the hard way as he peddles conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud through legal channels. Lacking any tangible evidence, courts have repeatedly rejected the president's arguments.
This cult of personality presidency has fundamentally altered the way America practices its democracy. We stopped investing in allies or the future. Look at the infrastructure dilemma, schools, education or healthcare. These issues at best received lip service under Trump.
His focus instead was on feel good projects such as building glitzier immigrant detention facilities, and seizing land along the Southwest border, where he might live out his border wall wet dream.
How'd that whole 'getting Mexico to pay for it' bit work out?
Trump supporters vehemently push his agenda, and pine for his re-election. But Joe Biden rose to the presidency as more of a coalition action plan to take down the sitting president.
People appreciate Joe Biden as a person. They know him and are comfortable with his presence, leadership and commitment to country. That being said Biden was the beneficiary of a defining anti-Trump protest vote cast by embarrassed moderates, independents and a sizable chunk of the Democratic electorate.
This leaves the Republican Party to face a vexing question. Either it's going to find a way to silence some of its far right minority, learn to play nicely with others and actually govern – or it risks becoming a party of knuckle draggers. Interested more in grandstanding about perceived infringements on personal freedoms and advocating a platform that violates Constitutional guarantees.
The last decade has been problematic to Republicans. Between the changing population nationally, a populace that supports alternative lifestyles, gay marriage, getting married later, never getting married, no kids, pro-choice, better educated, gun control, climate change – the Republicans are out of step with every major issue, and they know it.
George Wallace, a staunch segregationist who served as the 45th Governor of Alabama for four terms.
To combat these changing demographics the party became more polarized. Reagan and others saw it as easy pickings to rouse up the far right with images of patriotism and religious fervor, but they didn't take it seriously themselves.
These leaders failed to adequately calculate just how seriously this lot took all the patriotic window dressing and Jesus chatter.
I get an individual being anti-death penalty and pro-life. But pro-death penalty, and then crying about pro-life. That line of thinking fails me.
Same as love thy neighbor. In many proper, Christian, evangelical gated-communities – the prophecy of love thy neighbor is so written – unless the couple moving in down the block is gay.
The GOP has homogenized itself. Believers walk lockstep, group-think and don't question a good cover story. This nostalgia-driven group, seeks some reclaimed version of Andy Griffith's fictional Mayberry, apparently believing they can keep a changing world at bay by putting up walls.
For them the concepts of freedom to gather and of religion are mere Constitutional stumbling blocks needing to be hurdled, while Second Amendment rights are narrow and absolute. The Republicans have become the caveat party. The party of conflicting ideals and obstructionism.
Violating civil rights, personal rights, voting rights, walls, wars, waterboarding, Charlottesville and this peculiar hatred toward the Affordable Care Act. It stinks of corruption and FEAR.
And with that fear present in the conservative electorate, the Republicans played their strongest hand by whipping up religious zealotry, lonerism, discrimination and hate-mongering.
Talk about expanding your base and promoting inclusion. The Republicans opened up room under their tent for those previously left outside the boundaries of the polite establishment wing of the GOP.
The Proud Boys are a far-right, neo-fascist and male only political organization that promotes and engages in political violence.
Militias were welcomed, end-of-the-worlders, white power, white supremacists, even Russians. All were welcomed to bask in the light of Trump. No worries, we'll tuck it behind talking points about gun rights, limited government and religious freedom.
With the assistance of our "fair and balanced" friends at Fox News, the message for the simpleminded was broadcast in unison, like a finely choreographed Broadway play. For those hungry to drink up paranoia, the same message was heard emanating from the Republican political establishment, its ankle-biting lobbyists, special interest parasites, think tank chameleons, and carnival barkers like Rush Limbaugh.
With all those conservative sources united in telling a desperate demographic, hungry for miracles, that their freedom was being persecuted by "Stay Safe" orders and mask ordinances – well it must be the true, right?
Demographics show the groups that reside on the fringe are less well educated, come from depressed economic conditions, lack employment options and reside in areas where immigrants and minorities are moving into previously lily-white enclaves.
Change has arrived in most every corner of America, and the fringe is scared. They don't get what is happening, nor do they want to understand the realities of why these changes are occurring. They can't compete in a global economy and time is running out on their chances for an American Dream of their own.
From Left: Jeffrey Espstein, convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker who died in jail awaiting trail, partying with his friend Donald Trump.
This group was looking for a soothsayer, a snake oil salesman. Anyone who would tell them, "America is great. We are number one." Didn't matter if it was true. Enter Trump. It's delusional and has proved dangerous. In the meantime conservative Republicans edge further right as their misguided anger builds.
This spin sharpened the Republican message with its political polarization and obstructionism. Conservative politicians lost their decorum and ability to be embarrassed for holding ideals that were hypocritical to making America a better and stronger country.
Peoples manners in general have gone in the toilet, especially in politics. Emboldened by Trump's inappropriateness, Republicans decided to yell louder and with more irreverence to mask the idiocy of what they echoed on the president's behalf.
See Trump's repeated claims of widespread voter fraud as a reason for loosing the 2020 election, or the administration's diagnosis that Covid-19 was no big deal and would be gone by spring 2020.
On a national level the trend lines are clear. Republican margins are dwindling, and in important voting blocks, like Latinos, women, millennials, it is unclear there is a viable conservative inroad to swing those populations. This makes the GOP's path to the White House growingly treacherous.
Will those same trend lines drift down into local and state-based election results? The jury remains out. In 2020, it did not play that way. Trump lost, but down-ballot Republicans faired well. Nationally, Biden will be sworn in as the next president in January, the House is under Nancy Pelosi's able control, and pending two senatorial run-off races in Georgia, Mitch McConnell could find himself in the minority.
If the GOP can't find a way to broaden its message there is no wall to build that will not be topped. Because right now they are a party of exclusion. It is Democrats who have a welcome mat displayed out front to greet all comers.
How much longer can the Republican Party, with a straight face, continue denying the science of climate change? Solutions may be painful to big business, but acting like these interconnected weather anomalies are not actually taking place inflates the GOP's credibility gap.
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), posing next to Chester Doles, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, who was sentenced to prison in the 1990s for assaulting a Black man in Maryland.
Meanwhile, the middle class is under siege. Wages have been stagnant for decades. In my youth moms stayed home with the kids. That was great from a childrearing standpoint, but women entering the workforce was huge, and a welcomed change. Yet the fight continues as women still don't make a fair wage, and now two income families are faced with dual stagnant incomes that inflation has roared past.
Somebody must stand up to Wall Street, and let the CEOs and CFOs and all the other bloated fat cats know their salaries need cutting, profit margins trimmed and proceeds redistributed to include the working class. The current system is bankrupting people and making it near impossible to achieve home ownership. Much less allow single moms to afford the security of raising kids in a safe environment.
For America to remain great the nation must invest in its people. Don't keep the riches for just the one percent. If Republican leaders can't see their way to a more inclusive, pro-people, pro-worker platform, the GOP may find itself out of business.

With the help of a pharmacist named Ravindra (Dipanwit), he tries who make people aware of the health and prevention of diseases. Siddharth is struck with disbelief when he understands that the people are so backward that they do not even know about malaria and are treating it with exorcism.

Envisioning healthcare for the 21st century
A Message from the Chairman to the Men and Women of Our U.S. Armed Forces
Posted by timmreardon on 09/27/2019
Posted in: Uncategorized.
Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Public Affairs
Watch his farewell video message to the Joint Force:
By Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joe Dunford
In the coming days, I will complete over four decades of active service and my tenure as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Before taking off my uniform for the last time, I wanted to tell you what an honor it has been to serve alongside you and to represent you here in Washington, D.C. and across the globe. More importantly, I wanted to take a minute to simply thank you for who you are and what you do.
Those of you in uniform active, guard, and reserve represent less than one percent of the American people and you've answered the call to serve our nation during a time of war.
You chose to challenge yourself to excellence and to be a part of something greater than yourself.
You chose to make a difference.
Across the globe, you stand the watch on sea, air, and land as we simultaneously tackle the challenges associated with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and violent extremism.
And you are driving change to deal with the challenges of the 21st century to include those in space and cyberspace.
Like your predecessors, you are ordinary men and women who hail from across the 50 states and U.S. territories but you routinely demonstrate extraordinary courage, honor, commitment, loyalty, and self-sacrifice.
It's because of you that I am confident that we can defend the homeland and our way of life. It's because of you that we have earned the trust and confidence of allies and partners around the world.
It's because of you that people believe in America.
Over the past four years, I have spoken a lot about the need for our nation to maintain a competitive advantage over any potential adversary. You are our most important competitive advantage and any adversary would think twice about committing an act of aggression because of you.
And all of these words apply equally to our great civil servants who are an integral part of the team.
I'd also like to take a minute to recognize our families. My wife, Ellyn, and I know the unique challenges and sacrifices of military families. But we also know that the U.S. military is strong because of our foundation and our foundation is our families. One of the most rewarding experiences of the last four years has been meeting with military families across the force. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes. Thank you for your willingness to sacrifice and support and thank you for your resilience.
Let me close by saying that as I depart active service, I depart with incredible pride and gratitude, not because I'm a general or the chairman, but simply because I have stood in ranks with the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who wear the cloth of our nation.
Please know that I will remain in proud over watch following my retirement.
God bless you all and Semper Fidelis.

Number 257 | Diciembre 2002
The Religious Question and the Myth of the Army
The Guatemalan army sees itself as both mother and father, as a god. But this "god" is a violent one that finds enemies everywhere and uses weapons and terror to defend a society dominated by wealthy elites. All we can expect from it is a deluge of violence, which is exactly what abounds today in Guatemala.
Juan Hernández Pico, SJ
On July 20, 1954, Archbishop Rosell believed he could still proudly say to those who had overthrown Jacobo Arbenz and put an end to the 1944 revolution that "the Church does not need to gain hegemony because it has it and never lost it in our country, where everyone trusts its word, believes in its doctrine and collaborates in its work."
Religious statistics:
Pieces on the battlefield
At the start of the third millennium, however, even after the Pope's visit to canonize Brother Pedro—an event that was an immeasurable, glorious affirmation of Catholic affiliation in Guatemala—no member of the Catholic Church would dare make a similar statement with such confidence.
The exact percentage of Protestants in Guatemala is unknown, but for many years now people have been throwing around the figure of 30%, one of the highest percentages in Latin America. Some even claim that Protestants make up 40% of the population, which would still be short of the World Evangelization Crusade's 50% goal for the year 2000 but sizable nonetheless.
These figures may not reflect the real situation, however, since religious statistics are battlefield ammunition in this country. Based on Crusade figures, cultural anthropologist David Stoll, a specialist on Protestantism in Latin America, calculated that Protestants represented some 18.9% of the Guatemalan population in 1985, after growing at an annual 6.7% rate from 1960 to 1985. It is likely that today, at the start of the third millennium, over 25% of Guatemala's population is Protestant. In several places around the country, such as the department of Escuintla on the southern coast or some municipalities in the western highlands, over 30% are Protestant, and in some locations, according to observations in certain villages in Santa María Chiquimula, the figure runs as high as 60%.
When the Liberal Constitution decreed religious freedom in 1879 and President Barrios facilitated the establishment of the Presbyterian Church in Guatemala three years later, the goal was to encourage a culture of progress and dismantle the Catholic hierarchy's ability to block the government's political reforms. The mainline Protestant denominations that took root at that time—Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians and others—have recently been eclipsed, however, by Pentecostal churches among the poor and neo-Pentecostal ones among the middle and upper classes.
Lost land and rivers of blood
The anti-clerical policies and opening to Protestantism were only part of the modernization policies promoted by Barrios and his coffee-growing friends. These policies took an enormous toll on indigenous people, robbing them of most of their communal lands and throwing them onto the job market with no protection whatever from either the state or the Catholic orders being expelled.
Nuns (except the Sisters of Charity), priests and even bishops were expelled from the country at the end of the 19th century. A hundred years later, toward the end of the 20th century, the anti-clerical measures went so far as the assassination of priests, nuns and laypeople in the Catholic Action movements, as well as some Protestants committed to the struggle for justice. The army's policy of sustaining Guatemala's backward capitalism by destroying towns and massacring people, especially indigenous people, who might have been supporting the revolutionary struggle created a culture of terror. This led to a proliferation of particularly Protestant, but also Catholic rightwing Pentecostal movements.
The army's hand in
the rise of evangelism
The rise of evangelism in Guatemala over the past 50 years is particularly striking. In the early 1940s, Evangelists made up barely 2% of the country's total population. The number has grown enormously in recent decades, especially since the 1976 earthquake.
Many attempts have been made by the Catholic camp to explain this phenomenon. It is often attributed to the state policy directed by the army, which saw the Catholic Church as a danger when it took the side of the poor and denounced social injustice and political repression. According to this theory, the policy was reinforced by governmental and private support from the United States, which ranged from the "roofing sheets for conversion" delivered after the earthquake, to the provision of a car or store or wage in exchange for harvesting export crops on the coast, to the chapel built during the war "in the name of our Lord the Commander," just as they were built during the Spanish Conquest "in the name of Our Lord the King." Underlying this view is the perception that what really unites fundamentalist Pentecostal Protestant groups, perhaps mistakenly described as sects, is their shared hatred of the Catholic Church.
The army: "Father of the Motherland"
Francisco Beltranena Falla, a scholar whose specialization is the army, claimed in a 1990 interview with Harvard researcher Jennifer Schirmer that part of the strategic analysis used to counteract "one of the leading enemies of the system, the revolutionary priests and the catechists who are their agents," was the spread of evangelism. General Ríos Montt, a born-again Christian, played such a "useful role" in this that the officers Schirmer interviewed refer to the internal coup of 1983, which replaced Ríos Montt with Mejía Víctores, as a change in the Government of the Word, referring to the neo-Pentecostal denomination of the same name.
In reality, the army made strategic use not only of evangelism but also of religious language in general and the Mayan cosmovision in particular. Schirmer reports that at the entry to the model village of Tzalbal in Quiché, "there was a big sign describing it as 'a born-again' village," thus a piece of the larger plan for the highlands aimed at creating "a new man, a new country, a new Guatemala." It was secular discourse using both religious terms from the New Testament and the language of revolutionary movements, which had a religious flavor as well (Che Guevara's "new man").
The army officers Schirmer interviewed often spoke of the army as both father and mother: the father of democracy, while also "the only institution that has been pushing to give birth to this baby." In effect, the army appears in their discourse as the creator, the mother of the new country and the "Father Guardian and Protector, Father of the Motherland."
The rotten egg
When talking to Schirmer, General Gramajo, one of the architects of the military's offensive plans of the 1980s, eminence gris behind the National Stability Strategy and defense minister under President Vinicio Cerezo (1986-91), implicitly recognized the army's need to purify itself in the wake of its enormous human rights violations. He illustrated this with what he believed to be a Mayan exorcism: "It's like what the medicine men do to cure someone who's sick. They take an egg and pass it over the person's body and say a prayer, and when they're done they break the egg and it's rotten and they've gotten the sickness out." Holding up a copy of the National Stability Strategy for Schirmer, he said, "This is the army's egg! We are exorcising our sickness and are satisfied because we no longer have these [human rights] problems, we've already gotten rid of them. Now people outside have to see that this [the strategy] is the rotten egg."
Religious symbols in army hands
The example chosen to show the army's catharsis was not particularly judicious, since the National Stability Strategy was rotten at the time but was used anyway. It could hardly have been otherwise, when the evil to be exorcised by the purported Mayan "witchcraft" was in fact the evil that the army itself unleashed against the Mayan people.
The army's effort to take on religious symbols at that time was enormous. This both testifies to their power and makes it impossible to forget the army's use of blood and fire to subdue the strength and meaning of religion by burning bibles, killing priests and catechists and expelling religious leaders. Following that repression and persecution, the army installed army barracks, torture chambers and clandestine cemeteries in the emptied church buildings. The 1968 Rockefeller Report and Reagan's 1980 strategy for Latin America known as the Santa Fe document had already revealed the hostility of US Republicans towards the Catholic Church that took shape after the Medellín Bishops Conference and was fueled by Liberation Theology.
as a social movement
Army intervention through this evangelizing strategy is not enough to explain the impressive rise of evangelist religious movements that are at the same time a kind of social movement rather than just churches and sects.
These religious-social movements are arising within a society that has experienced varied and rapid changes aimed at modernization over the course of the last half century that far outstrip any others experienced in the four and a half previous centuries. The growth of evangelism was possible, according to one author, because of the "charitable nature (mental, social and economic) of the Evangelist churches."
Another author seconded this notion, arguing that the growth of Pentecostal Protestant churches responded to the search for a secure, comforting identity at this time of rapid and at times cataclysmic changes that were putting traditional identities in doubt. "A new kind of identity was not very attractive while what we might call 'traditional community' remained more or less intact. But when this center of life and coexistence began to give way through erosive 'development' processes, migration and war, many beliefs, practices and institutions that constituted identity gave way along with it. At least in part, it was an attempt to recreate a certain measure of order, identity and belonging that has motivated so many people to turn to Protestantism in recent years."
"Communal paradises"
in the global world
The sociologist Manuel Castells has demonstrated in a broader, global study what the above writer found in the case of Guatemala. Castells' study of both Islamic and Christian Evangelist fundamentalism explains them as "communal paradises" in the midst of a society globalized by the networks of the information age. In response to the failures of capitalism, socialism and nationalism, "a fundamentalist Islamic project" has developed in the Islamic world as an identity of resistance. It is not a "return to tradition" but rather a "reworking of traditional materials to form a new, divine, communal world where the dispossessed masses and disaffected intellectuals can rebuild the meaning of a global alternative to the exclusionary global order."
Castells has also studied Christian fundamentalism in the United States. The great perceived threats it is responding to include globalization, control of the country by world government bodies and the destruction of patriarchy in the family.
In Guatemala, fear of globalization translates into fear of an invasion of the home by the demands of selective military recruiting, whether by revolutionary movements or state institutions, and by national decisions linked to global organizations or ideologies, whether the CIA, the socialist movements or the IMF. The crisis of the patriarchy can also be found in our country, where so many homes are divided by alcoholism, among other things, which when fully overcome allows a return to the united, patriarchal home where the man can recover his lost respect.
Castells explains that "there is something more [than defense of male privilege] shared by men, women and children. There is a deep fear of the unknown, which becomes more threatening when it has to do with the daily basis of personal life." This refers to the high rates of family instability because of divorce or the man's abandoning the home; to the feminist movement, which erodes the man's role as husband and father; and to public acceptance of homosexuality.
Some sociologists place Catholic Pentecostalism, the Charismatic Renovation Movement, in the context of a "perfecting religion." It aims inward towards individual achievement and is counterpoised, as a Weberian ideal type, to a "religion of redemption," which is turned outward toward messianic hopes. The Charismatic Renovation Movement is the Catholic camp's response to the "New Age" trend in today's global spirituality, an inward-looking religion counterpoised to messianic religion. The Charismatic Renovation Movement is thus a dialectical counterpoint within Catholicism to the base communities or Catholic Action, and should in no way be treated as a heresy.
The rise of Pentecostalism:
All that was allowed
The Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal movements in Guatemala were the only social movements allowed from 1954 to 1996. This was a period when union, peasant and indigenous movements, as well as Social Democratic political movements, revolutionary movements and grassroots communal Catholic movements, all of which aimed to bring about profound social change, were progressively and systematically hunted down and crushed.
The historian Matilde González has preserved part of the historical memory of those years by collecting the testimony of older community leaders who survived the war in San Bartolomé Jocotenango. They reported that the army and Civil Patrols killed those who "had the bible and the good people of Catholic Action." This brutally intransigent reality led lay people and even some priests and nuns to leave what was for them the dead end street of public life to join the clandestine guerrilla movement. In the same context, "that terror became one of the endogenous factors that contributed to the growth of Pentecostalism."
This opinion seems in keeping with reality: "It is more than likely that by not encouraging an ideology of submission to established power, the religious societies would not prosper in a political context of constant suspicion against any form of grassroots organization." Submission in the Pentecostal movements that have flourished among the poor also manifests itself, for the moment, as a lack of interest in participating in society, since the "communal paradise" is enough. In contrast, for the neo-Pentecostal movements such as the Word, Elim or Shaddai, which are joined by members of the middle and upper classes such as former President Jorge Serrano Elías and army officers including General Ríos Montt, the "communal paradise" is not enough. They attempt to participate in improving Guatemalan society, although the efforts of the groups created around Ríos Montt and Serrano Elías have turned out to be tragic, grotesque or corrupt.
The stunning force of religion
One thing that is clear in this somewhat confusing scenario is that the Catholic Church has to coexist with an already deeply rooted religious pluralism in Guatemala today. And the pluralism that broke the Catholic Church's hegemony comes not only from evangelism, but also from Mayan religion.
In fact, the Catholic Church probably never had any real religious monopoly in the country, since the Mayan religion was not totally conquered or Christianized. While participating in the Patron Saint's Day celebration in Santa María Chiquimula, one of the Mayan villages of the Guatemalan highlands, I was struck as though for the first time by a sense of the force of religion among these native peoples. The religious spirit during these events is clearly mixed with other feelings and motivations, as they provide an occasion for business and for the various musical groups hired by the Merchants Association. But even so, the number of days people spend decorating the church, the altar and the images, doubling their usual workday since they do it at night and in the early morning, is stunning.
The celebration in honor of the Black Christ of Esquipulas—and the Mayan deity behind him—and the scenes of people venerating Christ and moving forward on their knees in a sign of adoration to kiss him are no less impressive than the celebration in the sanctuary of Esquipulas itself, in eastern Guatemala, which draws people from all over Central America and southern Mexico. The symbolic strength of the garden of candles is also impressive, representing lives that are burned, that offer themselves before God. All of this is a living memory of the ancestral sacrifices.
In the Eucharist, when people offer bits of paper asking not only to recover their health or remember the dead but also to ensure that their business goes well, one cannot help feeling a virtually seamless connection between secular life—that of the tailor's shop and the market in this Quiché community—and spiritual life. One senses that the forces of technology and global communication, already so present, have not yet been able to undermine access to the transcendental.
The rise of the Mayan religious spirit
The religious force is even greater when there is a steady symbolic relationship between the Catholic and Mayan religions—"the costumbre," as anthropologists and the people themselves have many years called describe the deep syncretism that characterizes this traditional Mayan-Christian religious practice. There, given the weight of "traditional" authority in the form of community leaders, the Evangelists suspend their usual aggressive rejection of images or saints.
The religious force is even greater when acculturation work allows people to approach the Catholic liturgy with a new understanding, in their own language and in the re-creation of their symbolic gestures. An example is the act of penitence before the altar by lay people who, in each petition for reconciliation, light candles aimed at the four cardinal points surrounding candles symbolizing the Heart of the Sky and the Heart of the Earth.
One of the most influential anthropological works in Guatemala focused on religious conversion, from Mayan traditions to Catholic Action. It was a transcendental but very painful experience, which also crystallized as a form of rebellion against the traditional community that prevented a person's rise in society through business or politics.
There is now a certain ambiguity in the acculturation processes aimed at recovering the symbolic Mayan structures, when juxtaposed to the initial conversion from traditional practice: Hadn't they told us that our traditional practices were the devil's work? How can they tell us now that we must tolerate them and once again allow them into the Church? How can they tell us that beans, incense, candles and rum have a place in religion?
The problem is that not all that glitters in Mayan religion is gold. People remember jealousies and conflicts that were resolved through spells that created division and fear, especially in rural or marginalized urban areas. Of course such contradictions are also found in non-Mayan environments, where they appear in certain degraded kinds of spirituality or necromancy.
Traditional practice and evangelism
The changes that occurred in the Almolonga municipality near Quetzaltenango suggest the hypothesis that the force of Mayan religion cannot be sustained in the face of a massive conversion to evangelism. The cofradías or brotherhoods of Almolonga seem to have lost sway in a population that has become 90% Evangelical. The municipality has experienced something of a capitalist boom and the wealth of its small farms does not readily support the continued existence of the religious systems of economic egalitarianism underlying the organization of the traditional brotherhoods and practices. Once again, the spirit of capitalism and Protestantism are mutually reinforcing. Nevertheless, it is rumored that some Evangelists continue to ask indigenous priests to conduct rituals for them and go to other municipalities to ask priests who don't know them to perform masses on their behalf. Further research is needed to find out if this is indeed the case and how often it occurs.
It would also be very important to examine how the force of religion is maintained or lost among Mayan immigrants in the United States. In comparison, there is probably little or no reduction in the force of religion among the Garifunas, who have traveled so widely and are thus so open to all the influences of secular civilization, who have settlements all along the Caribbean coast of Central America but whose largest community is in New York.
Mayan and Catholic
Naturally, it is not only this Catholic religion acculturated into Mayan traditions that adds to Guatemala's religious pluralism. The pluralism is above all increased by the resurgence of the Mayan religion itself, which was for so long made invisible or enclosed in a semi-clandestine crypto-existence.
For most Catholic Church officials, or most of its ministers—using religious rather than sociological language—it is one thing to gradually accept the acculturating of Catholicism into Mayan traditions and languages, and quite another to participate in Mayan celebrations of important days in their calendar on hilltops, in caves, or in church courtyards. It is harder still to come to understand the Maximons, those figures representing a mixture of Mayan deities and Judas Iscariot that are so important in Mayan culture, and to differentiate them from the rightly repudiated malicious spells. Nonetheless, the fact is that increasing numbers of people, including non-Mayans, come to those places where the Mayan religion is experiencing a resurgence to participate in ceremonies of purification by fire or other kinds of rituals.
The violence at the
root of religious pluralism
What is the nature of religious pluralism in Guatemala? The two first moves towards it, the introduction of Catholicism with the Conquest of 1524 and the introduction of Protestantism with the Liberal Reform of 1882, were both marked by violence. Militarily, the Liberal Reform's violence cannot be compared to that of the Conquest, which was much more severe. Nevertheless, the laws that suppressed the emphyteutic census, expropriated communal lands and institutionalized forced indigenous labor, politically subjected the Mayans' heirs to an economic and cultural violence that resembled the Conquest. The expulsion of bishops and religious orders, some of which still owned large plantations, was aimed at stripping the indigenous villages of the Catholic Church's protection. It is for this reason as well that the country was declared open to Protestantism.
Within the Catholic Church, the pastoral movement based on the Medellín documents—Latin America's translation of the Second Vatican Council—and Liberation Theology developed around 1970. The Medellín documents went back to the roots of Christianity, seeking to follow Jesus Christ and build the Kingdom of God with justice, compassion and loyalty. This pulled the rug out from under the religion of prayers and rituals, more specifically the Constantinian religion of power and support for the social and political hierarchies, the religion of the status quo.
Despite this turn, the ties between religion and the search for power were not broken, but now the goal was revolutionary power. The indigenous people acquired increasing political consciousness in this new context. Some formed a strongly combative and committed peasant social movement, while others joined the political-military revolutionary organizations. The army responded by unleashing a scorched earth policy of massacres that emulated and perhaps even surpassed the violence and cruelty of those carried out during the Conquest some 460 years earlier.
The idolatry of the
state's military power
Underlying all the responses—to the Quiché resistance in 1524, the Catholic resistance in 1882, and the Catholic recovery of Christian roots and increasing indigenous awareness in the 1970s and 1980s—is the idolatry of a form of social organization that perpetuates the monopolies of wealth and power. The idol of the Spanish empire, the later idol of progress through the capitalist coffee economy, and the idol of state security that protects one of the most inequitable and racist social structures in the world today, where a tiny and extremely wealthy first world coexists in the heart of an immense, unprotected fourth world—are all the same idol.
Idols and the powers sustained by idolatry have always demanded bloody victims. Jennifer Schirmer wrote that the difference between the military officers that former President Cerezo called "intransigent" and those he called "less intransigent," the so-called institutionalists, did not lie in the use or rejection of violence: "It is not the question of killing that distinguishes them, but rather the lack of strategic planning and control over who is killed once the decision has been made that it's necessary to kill to maintain order, ('We're not renouncing the use of force but we don't have to kill everyone to complete the job')."
Who will the next enemy be?
The advent of religious pluralism is not that important as a religious phenomenon in itself. It can, however, amount to progress towards more tolerant attitudes, which is certainly very difficult today, and to an atmosphere of ecumenicism based on compassion, which will require many imaginative efforts to bring about. Within today's pluralism, the army will see any kind of religion that is profoundly sensitive to the established order's injustices—certain branches of Catholicism, Protestantism or Pentecostalism, the Mayan religion, or the attitudes of people with a secular agnostic cosmovision—as an "opponent of the state," an "enemy." And this has dramatic importance.
The army's idolatrous power treats all dissent under the paradigm of enmity. Schirmer cited an intelligence colonel who reflected aloud, after the Peace Accords were signed, "We don't know who our next enemy will be."
As currently conceptualized, the army will always have to have enemies, even in times of peace. On the list of potential enemies in the immediate future, this colonel named "peasant farmers," while retired General Sergio Camargo spoke of drug trafficking "because, unlike communism, it's profitable." The National Defense General Staff included "repatriated people" in its 1996 analysis of "factors that are adverse to the Guatemalan state," along with the "rise of a pan-Mayan movement."
In the early 1990s, General Gramajo spoke of "the possibility of a religious struggle in Guatemala." He dismissed it, however, because it seemed unlikely that anyone would rise up to encourage "religious fundamentalism against the Protestants." In Gramajo's view, the Catholics would have been the belligerent fundamentalists.
An army contaminated
by an idolatrous endemic
It is possible that Guatemalan religiosity is less influenced by globalization's secular trends thanks to its proximity to a profoundly religious Mexico, and to Mexico and Central America's connection with the United States, one of the countries at the cutting edge of globalization least touched by the kind of secularism that excludes religion.
But the state security doctrine—born of US imperialist policies and now aggressively reincarnated in the war against terrorism—is an idolatrous endemic disease that long ago contaminated the Guatemalan army and especially its military intelligence apparatus, closely linked to the CIA.
The army's belief that anthropologist Myrna Mack was responsible for lifting the veil off the existence of the Communities in Resistance and off the constant military harassment of them triggered the conspiracy to assassinate her. Bishop Juan Gerardi was condemned to death for beginning to unmask and deconstruct the myth of the army as father of the motherland through the Recovery of the Historical Memory (REHMI) project.
They believe themselves gods
and reproduce a violent "god"
This is Guatemala's true religious problem: the army's mythic conception of itself as father and mother of the nation, its treatment of any who dissent from its doctrine as ideological heretics, and the refusal of its highest officers to be held accountable for their acts because they believe themselves to be gods.
"The army is the only institution that refuses to accept its own historical responsibility for the genocide," Schirmer concluded. "We will not be flayed alive like the Argentine generals!" she was told by retired General Gramajo, who was determined to maintain the military's impunity under civilian presidents.
Naturally, to carry out this plan, the army—like all power structures that are religiously-mythically transfigured into a kind of pontifical power structure, mediator between heaven and earth—must be based "on official [though not confessed] disdain for Guatemalans' basic rights, especially the right to life."
The problem is that when there is a mythically semi-deified "father and mother," which conceives of politics as "war in another form"—as General Gramajo put it—its children, that is, Guatemalan society, will resolve their problems through violence. The "god" these children have to imitate and whose protection they seek is a violent one that constantly finds enemies instead of friends. From this "god" that uses threats and terror and weapons to defend a society of exclusion dominated by wealthy elites, we can expect only an unstanchable deluge of violence. And that is exactly what we have in Guatemala today.
Not to remain on our knees
before military power
The vital importance of renewing compliance with the 1996 Peace Accords, decreasing the military budget and applying the savings to education and health, dismantling the Presidential General Staff, distinguishing between internal and external security, dismantling the many military bases that are no longer needed to secure the country's borders, strictly separating military and civilian intelligence and strengthening civilian power lies in the fact that if we do not do all of this, Guatemala will remain on its knees before the state's military power.
This also explains the importance, which cannot be overstated, of the cases of Myrna Mack and Monsignor Gerardi. They have laid the first cornerstones against the impunity of top army officers, which means that many other high-ranking officers may also be required to testify before state tribunals for their responsibility in the massacres, disappearances and tortures, all of which are imprescriptible crimes against humanity.
Only then
In the Gerardi case, this must be done without playing the game of his assassins, who sought to divert attention from his work, from REMHI, by focusing it on his assassination instead. Three months ago, the Appeals Court suspended the 30-year prison sentences handed down against three military officers, including a retired colonel who was the former head of military intelligence, for ordering the crime, and the 20-year prison sentence against Father Mario Orantes for complicity pending a new oral trail. However, the Supreme Court's criminal division has provisionally accepted the prosecution's appeal against this suspension, so everything is again up in the air pending a definitive verdict on the appeal.
While waiting for justice to be done in this emblematic case and so many other cases, it is the preservation of our historical memory that will lead us down the long path towards the building of a non-repressive democracy. There must be a transition toward a democracy with authentic reconciliation, concerned not only with elections but also with public participation and people's economic, social and cultural well-being. Only then, when the army is no longer seen as the mythic father and mother of the nation, will the nature of the religious question in Guatemala truly change.

Turin: anger as Muslim rugs taken from city hall
https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/46884/turin-anger-as-muslim-rugs-taken-from-city-hall
Two councillors from Italy's far-right Northern League provoked outrage on Tuesday after removing prayer mats that had been placed in Turin's city hall for a Muslim conference.
Roberto Carbonero and Fabrizio Ricca removed the rugs from a Muslim prayer room that had been created especially for a conference on Islamic fashion.
The pair insisted that the decision to remove the rugs was not down to prejudice or racism, but was because the city hall is a secular building.

Trying to fit everything into a tiny bathroom is the interior design equivalent of a crossword puzzle: It takes a lot of thought to make all the separate parts fit together.
A full bathroom remodel — even when it's a small space — can be costly, but you don't have to spend a fortune to make the smallest room in your home one of the most visually appealing. Here are affordable tips and tricks for an Instagram-ready small bathroom you're going to enjoy spending time in.
A tiny bathroom, like any small space in your home, needs to be kept tidy or it will seem even smaller. When organizing and setting up a small bathroom, interior designer Sarah Cousins loves to use trays.
Vanity trays are available to suit all styles and budgets, and you can add small decorative elements for a sophisticated finishing touch, such as interior design company Black and White Projects' zen ensemble, captured by photographer Venita Wilson.
If floor space is tight, make use of your walls!
Shelves add more space for you to store towels, toiletries, cosmetics, toilet rolls and anything else you'd usually find in the bathroom. Replace lower cabinets (or any other storage that makes your bathroom feel cramped) with a tall shelf or a series of individual shelves installed on one side of the bathroom only, to create an illusion of bigger space.
Some shelves come with hooks attached underneath for hanging towels and robes. Shelves can also be used for decorative elements like vases, framed pictures and candles, to add personality to your small room. Don't be afraid to personalize your shelves — Instagram user @kks_diynest spray-painted her Target shelf black.
A mirror always makes a space seem bigger and lighter than it actually is. It's also a great decorative feature, whether it complements existing decor or stands out as an interesting focal point.
In a really tight space, extending the mirror across the whole wall maximizes the illusion of space and can allow two people to use it at once. Although large pieces in very small spaces are usually best avoided, a generous mirror is an exception to this rule.
The best shape is oval or oblong, which appears to stretch upwards, making low ceilings feel taller and small bathrooms feel bigger, as shown by DIY enthusiast Alicia (@ourvintagenest) on Instagram.
Instagram user and skincare connoisseur Steff (@flo.and.edie) shows how it's done.
When you're designing your tiny bathroom, every little detail counts. Cousins recommends putting all your shampoo, body wash, conditioner, bath salts, etc. into clear matching bottles — take inspiration from NYC dad Tyler Moore (@tidydad).
Not only do they take up less space on the edge of your tub or shower, but they also look more stylish than a bunch of mismatched containers in different sizes. Another tip from Cousins is to switch out your bar of soap for a pretty soap dispenser, and put your toothbrushes in a matching cup instead of leaving them on the counter.
Most modern sinks are slim and sleek, but even a small pedestal sink can be too obtrusive in a tiny bathroom. On the other hand, a floating basin sink (one that's attached to the wall with no support structure underneath) saves space and looks stylish.
Options include stand-alone sinks (without a vanity) and sinks embedded in or placed on a countertop vanity. To free up even more space, go for a corner sink and position it across from the toilet instead of across from the shower to avoid an awkward walk-around set up.
For a statement piece, go for something custom-made from an innovative company, like Iowa-based live edge slab supplier The Lumber Shack.
If you have a floating sink, don't forget to utilize the space underneath.
To double your under-sink storage, go for collapsible metal shelving or a tiered wire rack that lets you easily store towels, makeup baskets, bulky bottles, toilet rolls, etc. If you have a sink with a vanity, you can store small items you use every day and need easy access to in bins that attach to the inside of cabinet doors, says Cousins.
A freestanding piece can be invaluable if space is really limited, as you can transfer it from bedroom to bathroom when required.
If your toiletries are taking over your bathroom, chances are you can say goodbye to some of them.
If space is still too tight, consider storing toiletries you don't use regularly in a different room altogether. Professional organizer Joy Loving Home shows how it's done on Instagram.
If your shower door opens out into the bathroom, this is interfering with your limited space. Replace it with a sliding door, which ensures that your door doesn't bump into your basin, toilet or cabinets. It also makes your bathroom look more contemporary without spending a lot of money. Sliding shower doors come in a wide range of materials, designs and colors.
A more affordable, versatile alternative to a sliding shower door is a shower curtain. But forget basic, boring plastic and use it to give your bathroom personality. In an otherwise plain bathroom with no wall space for decorative features, you can make your shower curtain your art statement. It's super-easy to install and you can switch it out whenever you want to change the design.
The color palette in your small bathroom can have an enormous impact on how spacious it looks. "When I walk into a smaller space, there are a few things that I instantly consider. First and foremost is color. Paint is the easiest and most cost-effective impact you can make to a room," said interior designer Lauren O'Donnell. She recommends using soft hues and brighter colors in a small bathroom to instantly make it feel bigger and more inviting. Pale pink can look incredible in a contemporary bathroom, as shown by interior designer Maurizio Pellizonni in this London apartment. For a stylish, polished look, maintain your color palette throughout your towels and accessories.
A touch of green can bring any space to life — and adds a holistic vibe, if that's your thing — and certain plants thrive in moist bathroom environments.
"If you've got a window, throw a hanging succulent in there — the steam from a shower creates a nice environment for those guys to thrive, in my experience," said Cousins.
If you're not a plant person, or your bathroom doesn't get a lot of natural light, consider a low-maintenance air plant, which doesn't even need to be watered.
Windows instantly make a room more spacious, so make the most of them.
"Time and time again I see draperies and treatments hanging in windows and blocking the light — get those out of there! " said O'Donnell.
If you want to use drapes or treatments to accentuate a window, she advises keeping them outside of the frame. If you're designing a small bathroom from scratch and don't have space for a window, consider a skylight — or have both for even more natural light.
Drawers in bathroom cabinets are great for storage, but if you don't keep them tidy and organized, the contents will probably end up all over the counter anyway.
If you have a large family sharing a small bathroom, give everyone their own section for their personal items.
A recent shift in vanity trends helps create the illusion of more space, says O'Donnell.
This keeps things brighter overall and opens up the overall space.
If you have a separate bathtub and shower in your bathroom, getting rid of the bathtub is one of the biggest space-savers as it frees up so much room for storage. If you can't — or don't want to — get rid of the tub, remove the walk-in shower and install it over the bathtub, as in this design by luxury bathroom installation company MJP Plumbing and Heating. It's is a better option for resale value, says design-build home remodeling firm Synergy Design & Construction, because most home buyers want a bathtub — or at least the option of having one.
If you really can't live without a bathtub, consider taking inspiration from Japan (and interior designer Irene Turner) and adding a Japanese soaking tub. Rounder and deeper than regular bathtubs, they come in a range of sizes, meaning you can squeeze one into even the smallest of spaces. Who says you need a large bathroom to recreate your very own spa retreat? If you have the necessary budget, a soaking tub set into the ground will create a more contemporary vibe and an even greater illusion of space.
Towels are a bathroom essential but can also be a headache when space is at a minimum. For deep towel storage, go for hotel shelves, says remodeling specialist Cristina Miguelez. These are designed to hold towels, while standard shelves may not be deep enough. Interior designer Samantha Sullivan shows how effective this is on Instagram. You could also mount a towel bar on the shower door to ensure you always have a towel close by to dry off with, and store the bulk of your towels in a linen closet.
An over-the-door shelving unit can store everything you need in your bathroom. With styles available to suit every budget and decor theme, this is one way to guarantee all your toiletries and other bathroom essentials are in one place. Some units simply hook over the top edge of the door, while others need to be secured down the center to the door itself., like this white rack from storage design company Storage Goals.
An inclined trough sink might remind you of a school bathroom, but it's actually a great alternative to a bulkier basin in a tiny bathroom. Its long, sleek, narrow design makes an impact without taking up too much space or interfering with foot traffic, and is ideal for people with multiple children who want morning and evening cleanups to be quick and hassle-free. If the bathroom is child-free but shared by more than one adult, a trough sink doesn't waste space the way double sinks do and lets you share a sink without sharing your personal space. Home renovator Katie (@thecopefarmhouse) keeps her options open with a "fancy faucet" and a garden hose faucet.
If you're fed up maneuvering around the sharp corners of your vanity in your tiny bathroom, go round! A curved style of vanity is less intrusive, and can even work in a square space. A vanity with a rounded front looks great in a corner, as it blends into the space much better than an angular vanity. A rounded vanity also seems more delicate than a square or rectangular vanity — another reason it's ideal for a small space. This custom semi-circular vanity made by Chris Palmer is an elegant, contemporary example.
You can't do much about the square footage of your bathroom, but you can get clever with your tiles. If you opt for a large-scale pattern, like this wide horizontal stripe, you can trick the eye into seeing magnified space.
If you go for a wide vertical stripe (you may know this as shiplap!), like husband and wife Matthew and Kenzie (@renovationrun), the room will seem taller and the ceiling higher.
This might seem to go against the advice of some experts, who claim that large tiles in a small bathroom make the room look smaller. Small tiles create more grout lines, which also make the room look small. A good middle ground is to tile only one wall of your small bathroom and paint the other walls in a soft hue.
You don't have to avoid intricate patterns altogether in a small bathroom. Patterned tiles give a bathroom character and make it look more expensive (while not necessarily being more expensive than plain tiles). Patterned tiles on the walls can be too overwhelming for a small bathroom, but they work well on the floor if you keep the walls all one color, preferably white or another neutral shade, like Sussan Horsley (@sussanhorsley) did with her bathroom renovation.
You can trick the eye in a small bathroom by tiling the side of the bathtub and the wall (and even the floor) with the same design, like Becky (@homesweethome_at_23) did. This makes it difficult to figure out where each element begins and ends, making the space feel larger. The glossier the tiles, the better!
Another effective tile trick for creating the illusion of space is to continue the floor tile into the base of the shower.
If you don't have any more space for bathroom essentials in your vanity or on your walls, build shelves into false walls that disguise pipework for genius space savers, as designer Caroline Wilson has done. They also look great, turning your tiny bathroom into something that wouldn't look out of place in a luxury spa.
Add spot or linear lighting to your recessed shelves for even more of a high-end look, or create an ultra-relaxing space for bathing by lining the shelves with scented candles.
