Nathaniel Lee
Nathaniel Lee:
1691: Gerard Langbaine
1764: David Erskine Baker
This eminent dramatic poet was the son of a clergyman of the church of England, and was educated at Westminster school under Dr. Busby. After he left this school, he was some time at Trinity College, Cambridge; whence returning to London, he went upon the stage as an actor.
Very few particulars are preserved concerning Mr. Lee. He died before he was 34 years of age, and wrote eleven tragedies, all of which contain the divine enthusiasm of a poet, a noble fire and elevation, and the tender breathings of love, beyond many of his cotemporaries. He seems to have been born to write for the Ladies; none ever felt the passion of love more intimately, none ever knew to describe it more gracefully, and no poet ever moved the breasts of his audience with stronger palpitations, than Lee. The excellent Mr. Addison, whose opinion in a matter of this sort, is of the greatest weight, speaking of the genius of Lee, thus proceeds.
"Among our modern English poets, there is none who was better turned for tragedy than our author; if instead of favouring the impetuosity of his genius, he had restrained it, and kept it within proper bounds. His thoughts are wonderfully suited for tragedy; but frequently lost in such a cloud of words, that it is hard to see the beauty of them. There is an infinite fire in his works, but 1o involved in smoke, that it does not appear in half its lustre. He frequently succeeds in the passionate part of the tragedy; but more particularly where he slackens his efforts, and eases the stile of those epithets and metaphors in which he so much abounds." It is certain that our author for some time was deprived of his senses, and was confined in Bedlam; and as Langbaine observes, it is to be regretted, that his madness exceeded that divine fury which Ovid mentions, and which usually accompany the best poets. "Est Deus in nobus agitante calescimus illo." His condition in Bedlam was far worse; in a Satire on the Poets it is thus described.
There in a den remov'd from human eyes,
Possest with muse, the brain-sick poet lies,
Too miserably wretched to be nam'd;
For plays, for heroes, and far passion fam'd:
Thoughtless he raves his sleepless hours away
In chains all night, in darkness all the day.
And if he gets some intervals from pain,
The it returns; he foams and bites his chain,
His eyeballs roll, and he grows mad again.
The reader may please to observe, the two last lines are taken from Lee himself in his description of madness in Caesar Borgia, which is inimitable. Dryden has observed, that there is a pleasure in being mad, which madmen only know, and indeed Lee has described the condition in such lively terms, that a man can almost imagine himself in the situation,
To my charm'd ears no more of woman tell,
Name not a woman, and I shall be well:
Like a poor lunatic that makes his moan,
And for a while beguiles his lookers on;
He reasons well. — His eyes their wildness lore
He vows the keepers his wrong'd sense abuse.
But if you hit the cause that hurt his brain,
Then his teeth gnash, he foams, he shakes his chain,
His eye-balls roll, and he is mad again.
If we may credit he earl of Rochester, Mr. Lee was addicted to drinking; for in a satire of his, in imitation of Sir John Suckling's Session of the Poets, which, like the original, is destitute of wit, poetry, and good manners, he charges him with it.
The lines, miserable as they ate, we shall insert;
Nat. Lee stept in next, in hopes of a prize;
Apollo remembering he had hit once in thrice:
By the rubies in's face, he could not deny,
But he had as much wit as wine could supply;
Confess'd that indeed he had a musical note,
But sometimes strain'd so hard that it rattled in the throat;
Yet own'd he had sense, and t' encourage him for't
He made him his Ovid in Augustus's court.
The testimony of Rochester indeed is of no great value, for he was governed by no principles of honour, and as his ruling passion was malice, he was ready on all occasions to indulge it, at the expence of truth and sincerity. We cannot ascertain whether our author wrote any of his Plays in Bedlam, tho' it is not improbable he might have attempted something that way in his intervals.
Mad people have often been observed to do my ingenious things. I have seen a ship of straw, finely fabricated by a mad ship-builder; and the most lovely attitudes have been represented by a mad statuary in his cell.
Lee, for aught we know, might have some noble flights of fancy, even in Bedlam; and it is reported of him, that while he was writing one of his scenes by moon-light, a cloud intervening, be cried out in extasy, "Jove snuff the Moon;" but as this is only related upon common report, we desire no more credit may be given to it, than its own nature demands. We do not pretend notwithstanding our high opinion of Lee, to defend all his rants and extravagancies; some of them are ridiculous, some bombast, and others unintelligible; but this observation by no means holds true in general; for tho' some passages are too extravagant, yet others are nobly sublime, we had almost said, unequalled by any other poet.
As there are not many particulars preserved of Lee's life, we think ourselves warranted to enlarge a little upon his works; and therefore we beg leave to introduce to our reader's acquaintance a tragedy which perhaps he has not for some time heard of, written by this great man, viz. Lucius Junius Brutus, the Father of his country.
We mention this tragedy because it is certainly the finest of Lee's, and perhaps one of the most moving plays in our language. Junius ins Brutus engages in the just defence of the injured rights of his country, against Tarquin the Proud; he succeeds in driving him out of Rome. His son Titus falls in love, and interchanges vows with the tyrant's daughter; his father commands him not to touch her, nor to correspond with her; he faithfully promises; but his resolutions are baffled by the insinuating and irresistable charms of Teraminta; he is won by her beauties; he joins in the attempt to restore Tarquin; the enterprize miscarries, and his own father sits in judgment upon him, and condemns him to suffer.
The interview between the father and son is inexpressibly moving, and is only exceeded by that between the son and his Teraminta. Titus is a young hero, struggling between love and duty. Teraminta an amiable Roman lady, fond of her husband, and dutiful to her father.
There are throughout this play, we dare be bold to affirm, as affecting scenes as ever melted the hearts of an audience. Why it is not revived, may be difficult to account for. Shall we charge it to want of taste in the town, or want of discernment in the managers? or are our present actors conscious that they may be unequal to some of the parts in it? yet were Mr. Quin engaged, at either theatre, to do the author justice in the character of Brutus, we are not wanting in a Garrick or a Barry, to perform the part of Titus; nor is either stage destitute of a Teraminta. This is one of those plays that Mr. Booth proposed to revive (with some few alterations) had he lived to return to the stage: And the part of Brutus was what he purposed to have appeared in.
As to Lee's works, they are in every body's hands, so that we need not trouble the reader with a list of them.
In his tragedy of the Rival Queens, our author has shewn what he could do on the subject of Love; he has there almost exhausted the passion, painted it in its various forms, and delineated the workings of the human soul, when influenced by it.
He makes Statira thus speak of Alexander.
Not the Spring's mouth, nor breath of Jessamin,
Nor Vi'lets infant sweets, nor op'ning buds
Are half so sweet as Alexander's breast!
From every pore of him a perfume falls,
He kisses softer than a Southern wind,
Curls like a Vine, and touches like a God!
Then he will talk! good Gods! how he will talk!
Even when the joy he sigh'd for is possess'd,
He peaks the kindest words, and looks such things,
Vows with such passion, swears with so much grace
That 'tis a kind of Heaven to be deluded by him.
If I but mention him the tears will fall,
Sure there is not a letter in his name,
But is a charm to melt a woman's eyes.
His Tragedy of Theodosius, or the Force of Love, is the only play of Lee's that at present keeps possession of the stage, an argument, in my opinion, not much in favour of our taste, that a Genius should be so neglected.
It is said, that Lee died in the night, in the streets, upon a frolic, and that his father never assisted him in his frequent and pressing necessity, which he was able to do. It appears that tho' Lee was a player, yet, for want of execution, he did not much succeed, though Mr. Cibber says, that he read excellently, and that the players used to tell him, unless they could act the part as he read it, they could not hope success, which, it seems, was not the case with Dryden, who could hardly read to be understood. Lee was certainly a man of great genius; when it is considered how young he died, he performed miracles, and had he lived 'till his fervour cooled, and his judgment strengthened, which might have been the consequence of years, he would have made a greater figure in poetry than some of his contemporaries, who are not placed in a superior rank.

How AB InBev ascended the world's beer throne
November 23, 2016 Editor No comments
This article was first published in the Financial Mail, a South African publication and authored by Ann Crotty. We have edited parts of the original story but give credits to the author and the folks at Financial Mail.
To get a better understanding of how Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) became the world's largest beer company, it helps to look back to the 1970s – a period when marketing departments held sway in beer companies.
Back then, if you had a good marketing story, you could literally take over the world, figuratively speaking, or parts of it. Anheuser-Busch's CEO at the time was August Busch III, who had mastered the art of marketing persuasion.
"The Third" as he was fondly called ascended the throne of the Busch's beer empire in 1975, having wrestled the company away from his father. He spent billions of dollars orchestrating a carefully crafted advertising campaign which transformed an ordinary beer that is Budweiser into the King of Beers.
By the late 90s the company's shares had tripled, moving it to capture 50% of the world's largest beer market and turned Budweiser to an iconic brand. – a quintessential American drink. By 2010, Budweiser was ranked he 16th most valuable brand in the world, ahead of McDonald's, Disney and Apple.
But by then, Anheuser Busch had been acquired by InBev, a Belgian-Brazilian brewer, in a 2008 deal worth $53bn, breaching the defenses of what at a time was thought to be unthinkable.
BrandZ World's Top 10 Beer Brands
How did it all happen?
According to the authors of the story, August Busch III ("The Third") fell complacent and failed to see the wind of change taking place in the beer world. By the 1990s, the power had moved to Wall Street. The days of the marketing gurus were long gone. By then, if you were seeking global dominance in an industry, you needed the help of the financiers on Wall Street without which you were likely to fall prey to hungrier firms who knew how to appease shareholders by boosting a company's balance sheet.
Jorge Lemann
Jorge Paulo Lemann, the 77-year old Harvard-trained Brazilian, who founded private equity firm 3G Capital oversaw one of such hungrier firms.
According to a quote in the book, "The Beer Monopoly" by Ina Verstl and Ernst Faltermeier, it was said that Jorge Lemann said:
"I was looking at Latin America and who was the richest guy in Venezuela, a brewer; The richest guy in Colombia, a brewer; the richest in Argentina, a brewer," said Lemann.
The rest of the statement, says Verstl and Faltermeier, is probably more significant.
"These guys couldn't all be geniuses. It's the business that must be good," added teetotaler Lemann.
So he set out to build the Coca-Cola of beer, "a brewing company to dominate the world, by taking over stable focused businesses with high margins and market shares," says the book authors.
August Busch III felt the conviction that being the dominant player (by far) in the most profitable beer market in the world – the United States, was enough to secure Anheuser-Busch's number one status forever.
Because of his conviction, Anheuser-Busch's discussions with other major beer groups (including SABMiller) never got off the ground before any meaningful progress could be made. With the exception of a 50% stake it took in Mexican brewer, Gruppo Modelo, Anheuser-Busch did not make any other international investments, except for establishment of breweries in China.
Meanwhile, Jorge Lemann and his lieutenants were on the march, buying their way to the top of the beer world, and supported by enthusiastic funders. From Brazil's Brahma in 1987, when it was in the 10th place ranking, Mr. Lemann and his group catapulted to number three, after buying Antartica to create AmBev in 1999.
In 2004 AmBev "merged" with Belgium's Interbrew to create InBev – a transaction that would solidify Lemann's Brazilian team's credentials and gave them control of the merged entity. By 2008, InBev had gulped up Anheuser-Busch to create AB InBev.
From then on, the clock was ticking for SABMiller. According to the authors, the job of SABMiller's top executives then became to secure the best exit price possible.

Robert A. "Bob" Shiffler
Obituary of Robert A. Shiffler
Robert "Bob" Shiffler, of Warminster, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. Bob was 74 years old and shared 54 years of marriage with his beloved wife Wendy Shiffler (Pyffer). Born in Philadelphia, Bob was the son of the late Allen and Marie (Gallagher) Shiffler. He is a proud graduate of North Catholic High School. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and was a veteran of the of Vietnam War where he was deployed from 1966 until 1968. He was honorably discharged in 1968 with a rank of Corporal. He spent forty successful years in sales within the metals industry before his retirement in 2010. He was a very talented sales professional who thrived due to his ability to form long lasting relationships which culminated in multiple salesperson of the year awards. In his humble fashion, he was always sure to praise his colleagues who assisted him in his success. Bob was an avid golfer who spent many weekends playing local courses with family and friends (always seeking a good deal of course). One fun fact is that over his golfing career he had scored three hole in ones which as any golfer knows is a quite an accomplishment. He was also a passionate fan of our Philadelphia Eagles and watching NFL football on Sundays. However, nothing brought him more pleasure than spending time with his family. Family and friends were always welcome in his home and he was genuinely interested in what was going on in each of their lives. "Papa Shif" as he was affectionally known by those close to him was a true gift from God to both our family and to all who knew him. In addition to his wife Wendy, Bob is survived by his loving children Boe Shiffler (Danielle), Scott Shiffler, and Kellianne Batula (Philip). He was the brother of Dennis Shiffler. Bob was the loving grandfather of Quinn, Kieran, Drew, Maeve and Gavin Shiffler and Benjamin Batula. He was also the adoring Uncle of many nephews and nieces. Relatives and Friends may greet the family on Wednesday, July 28, 2021, 9:30-10:45 A.M. at St. John Bosco Church, 235 E. County Line Rd, Hatboro, PA. 19040. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 A.M. His family will hold a Private Military Interment at a future date at Washington Crossing National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would kindly request donations in Bob's name to Heroic Gardens who serve local Veterans with the healing power of nature.

SILVIS, Illinois - The Silvis city council voted to cut down the number of used car dealerships in the downtown, as part of an effort to attract more retail business to the area.
Ninos Motors is one of the nine used car dealerships along the main drag in downtown. The city wants to cut that number down.
"Its going to hurt a bunch of us. It seems like they`re just trying keep the big guys here," said Rick Ninos.
Ninos opened his business almost 20 years ago and was hoping to pass it down to his son, but under the new ordinance that might not be possible.
"My son that's all he knows how to do. He`s 31 years old, he`s been helping me since he was 18 and at one time I hope I can pass it on to him," said Ninos.
The ordinance says through attrition the city wants to go from nine used car dealerships to five.
The city says they hope the less dealerships will attract more retail downtown.
A survey taken by residents three years ago showed their biggest problem with the downtown is too many car lots.
"Lets bring people downtown again," said Mayor Tom Conrad.
Once an owner wants to retire or sell their business anyone wanting to buy and keep it as a used dealership would have to go before city council and get a license approved.

During the planning for the centennial of the 1913 Michigan Copper Miners' Strike several lists of potential activities and events were developed, refined, and distributed at public meetings.
The most recent document was updated August 16, 2012 and can be downloaded by clicking this text: ActivitiesAugust2012. Some of these events have people's names listed; these are individuals who indicated some desire to pursue these items.
I think a reading of the names of the people killed at Italian Hall site would be a appropriate remembrance of the victims of the disaster.
I haven't talked to any of those planning the Christmas Eve commemorative event at Italian Hall (as of yet), but I seem to believe the names of those who died will be read or presented in some way. In 2011 when the city of New York honored the centennial of the Triangle fire they incorporated a reading of the names into the ceremony and it was quite powerful.

Former Lincoln Middle School student and cancer survivor Benny Martinez and his mother, Michelle, are greeted by students during a Feb. 7 assembly to kick off fundraising for the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
Three years after joining his classmates in raising money for cancer research and shaving his head in solidarity with cancer patients, Benicio "Benny" Martinez was back at Park Ridge's Lincoln Middle School this month to watch a new crop of students kick off their own fundraising campaign.
Benny, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor just days after participating in Lincoln's St. Baldrick's event as a sixth-grader in 2016, received a standing ovation during a Feb. 7 assembly, where students learned about childhood cancers and how the St. Baldrick's Foundation funds research. The assembly also served as an opportunity to motivate the students to think of ways to raise money for St. Baldrick's and consider volunteering to have their heads shaved at the end of it all.
Using just his left eye and a special computer, Benny, who suffers paralysis and cannot speak, typed out a message for the Lincoln students that included his own words of encouragement.
"Let's kick off this year's St. Baldrick's fundraiser with a bang and break some records," said his message, read by mom, Michelle, and video recorded by dad, Ed.
For the first time, Lincoln is teaming up with Emerson Middle School to jointly fundraise for St. Baldrick's, said math teacher James Tebo, explaining that his daughter's diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 16 ultimately led to Lincoln's participation in St. Baldrick's fundraisers.
The money they raise is due March 19, when the head shaving will also take place. Under St. Baldrick's rules, students must raise at least $100 to get their heads shaved, Murray said.
"I would love for every student to make some form of donation, even if they don't get their heads shaved," he said.
Lincoln staff, too, are encouraged to participate in this part of the event.
For boys, Tebo said, it's fairly easy: Shave your head, and it grows back in a few weeks. For girls, he acknowledged the decision would be a little tougher.
Seventh-grade math teacher Jim Tebo speaks during a Feb. 7 assembly to kick off Lincoln Middle School's fundraising effort for St. Baldrick's Foundation.
But, female students with long hair also have the option of donating at least 8 inches of their locks to be made into wigs for children undergoing cancer treatments or living with conditions that have caused hair loss, Tebo said.
In 2016, 11 days after Benny Martinez his head shaved for St. Baldrick's and was the top fundraiser in his class, he was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumor, his mother said.
Though cancer-free for the last two years, treatment for his tumor left Benny with radiation necrosis, Michelle Martinez said. The condition means Benny cannot move from the neck down, cannot speak and requires a wheelchair and constant care.
To communicate, Benny can blink his left eye for "yes" and mouth the word "no," his mother said. He also relies on computer technology that allows him to create words and sentences through eye movement. The family is hoping additional technology can help Benny play the video games he enjoys watching his older brother and friends play, Michelle Martinez said.
Though much of his time is dedicated to rehab, Benny does attend classes twice a week at Maine South High School, where he is registered as a freshman, Michelle Martinez said.
Since Benny's diagnosis, the Park Ridge community has rallied in support of the teenager and his family, putting out lawn signs declaring "Benicio Strong" and contributing large amounts of money to the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
The Park Ridge Newcomers Club in 2017 dedicated its annual Labor of Love fundraising campaign to Benny, with contributions divided between the St. Baldrick's Foundation and the Martinez family.
That same year, the Grant-Grusecki family paid tribute to Benny with their elaborate Christmas light show and collected donations totaling more than $110,000 for St. Baldrick's.
With so much money donated in Benny's name, the St. Baldrick's Foundation created the Benicio Martinez Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research, the organization said. The fund will support childhood cancer research at Children's National Heath System in Washington, D.C., and a $100,000 grant was awarded to Dr. Yanxin Pei whose research will focus on the growth of medulloblastoma tumor cells, according to St. Baldrick's.
Returning to Lincoln to kick off another St. Baldrick's fundraiser there was "amazing," Michelle Martinez said.

In a reaction to social media, St. Louis police break code of silence, speak directly to community after cop shoots 14-year-old boy
October 4, 2016 by Barry Cooper
Effort aimed at getting information out as broadly as possible before comments on Facebook and Twitter form a narrative.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson says he and his officers are finally starting to get it: They no longer can hide, for the most part, behind a code of silence when there is an officer-involved shooting.
In St. Louis on Sunday, police shot a 14-year-old boy who they say fired first at cops. Fortunately, Tyron Edwards, an eighth-grader at Yeatman-Liddell Middle School, was only wounded and will survive. Another victory is that the St. Louis police immediately engaged the community to talk openly — face-to-face — about the shooting. You can chalk that one up to the power of social media.
Although the progress is painfully slow, some police are starting to learn they cannot simply close their mouths or talk only with selected reporters in the wake of an officer-involved shooting.
With the country on edge in the wake of so many black men being killed by cops, it is important for the police to speak directly to the community after an incident — in person and through social media. Also, those conversations should include real talk, and not just a bunch of community relations malarkey.
"We have realized how people get information from various sources, especially social media, and sometimes those sources are not helpful," Dotson told the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "So we realize we need to get them as much information as quickly as we can."
"And good old-fashioned conversation can never be replaced by Twitter."
Dotson did take a slight swipe at Twitter, but platforms like Twitter are the driving force behind transparency, and Dotson knows it. Because of pressure from postings on Twitter and Facebook, police departments that are trying to do the right thing are having to act more openly.
"There is this idea of a thin blue wall, and I hope they heard a sincere, honest, genuine conversation with someone who is trying to figure out all the facts just like they were," Dotson said about his decision to personally meet with residents in the community where the boy was shot.
The Post-Dispatch reported that the police department hasn't changed its policy when it comes to having officers talk to the public, but Dotson is acknowledging that a culture shift — no doubt impacted by social media — has subconsciously occurred within.
And that's a good thing.
Dotson said police shot and wounded the teenager after he fired at officers as officers were in the neighborhood searching for a car taken in a carjacking. Dotson said police approached Edwards who was on foot, and the teen ran away and later fired a shot at officers.
According to the police report officers returned fire and Edwards fell to the ground, Tyron's 16-year-old sister, Darrisha Barnes, challenged the police account, saying her brother fan from the cops because he was scared and had his hands up when he was shot.
"It was mistaken identity. He was just a little kid, why is the first thing you do is to fire shots?" Darrisha Barnes said.

As painful as it is, we need to see images of police killings to understand what's happening to us
July 13, 2016 by Razzan Nakhlawi
Once kept from the public, police violence is out in the open because of social media
Philando Castile's girlfriend broadcast the police shooting of his death in Minnesota.
The videos of the shocking deaths of black men Alton Sterling and Philando Castile give us another glimpse into the disturbing truth of police brutality — whether we want to see the videos or not. Sterling was shot to death in Baton Rouge, La., after an anonymous caller to police reported that a man selling CDs outside a convenience store was also carrying a gun. Castile died during a traffic stop in Minnesota.
Although the investigations continue, Castile appears to have been guilty of nothing. At most, Sterling was carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, but he wasn't hurting anybody.
With better police work, both would be alive today. Instead, the brutal images of their deaths are widely available online. Should we be seeing them? Yes.
When the police are the perpetrators of violence, social media is now becoming a first responder to the news. Whereas accusations of police brutality and other violence were once dismissed as hearsay or the facts not made clear, the public now has an unprecedented level of access to see what is really going on.
As Sherri Williams notes in a piece for NBC, social media and digital devices are taking a leading role in documenting police brutality. These videos are crucial for the scope of the issue to be recognized — the modern equivalent of Mamie Till Mobley, the mother of Emmett Till, insisting on an open casket at his funeral.
But when social media is the new first responder, the viewer is put on the digital front line of incredibly violent acts. To be sure, our exposure to black death on a recurring basis may have unforeseen psychological effects, especially for people of color, perhaps even leading to PTSD-like symptoms of distress.
It is difficult to know how portrayals of devalued black life will shift public perspective, but it is important that images of senseless black death become a catalyst for action, rather than simply serve as voyeuristic news-fodder. Otherwise, repetitive images of anti-black violence may do more harm than good.

Into the Real by Z. Brewer
In: General Book Reviews, Realistic Fiction (YA), Romance (YA), Young Adult Book Reviews
Tagged: bias, bullying, family, gender fluid, gender queer, homophobia, identity, LGBTQIA, psychology of selfhood, romance, violence
Z Brewer, an author who is also an outspoken mental health and anti-bullying advocate, has written a young adult novel that validates the challenges that accompany identity exploration. Into the Real is an affirming story about a person living a broken life and willing to do anything to be free of constraints.
Living in a fog of insecurity and confusion about sexuality and gender identity, seventeen-year-old Quinn experiences an oppressive feeling of loneliness. As Quinn navigates the fog of more questions than answers, more heartache than support, this genderqueer teen envisions a world in which life can be conflict-free and peaceful. However, to reach this place, Quinn—who resists labels and limitations—must do some serious soul-searching, and that experience proves challenging. After all, life is a multilevel, layered, and puzzling experience.
In the first version, Quinn lives in a Brume that is ugly, dangerous, and primal. Here, fighting for survival is the norm. Screamers, Rippers, and the Unseen Hands feed on people, and violence is overwhelming. Ever-hopeful, Quinn clings to the notion that this Brume is either escapable or able to be restored. Every time Quinn takes down a Ripper, a piece of this gender fluid teen dies. "You'd think ridding the world of monsters would feel triumphant and just, but the truth was, it was harder to do every time" (220). Quinn wants to survive, to imagine living in a world that isn't governed by the kill-or-be-killed philosophy, but determines that survival means pushing aside feelings. Quinn further discovers that trying to ignore the existence of difficult truths only encourages them to grow.
In a second version of life, Quinn's parents have delivered her to Camp Redemption, a gay conversion camp where she has been sent to be worthy of heaven but experiences hell. Although Quinn's parents see her as requiring reconditioning and are willing to pay-to-pray-away the gay, her brother Kai encourages her to live life out loud, not worrying over much about what others think. Worried that she is an abomination, sick, or simply confused, Quinn tries to understand her demons while also befriending others on the LGBTQIA spectrum. She discovers how kindness can be life-saving and how being born into skin that doesn't feel like your own can be painful. One of the other residents at Camp Redemption, Valerie, shares this truth with Quinn: "We can't change who we are. We can only embrace [that identity] and celebrate it. . . . Sometimes it takes us a while to become the people who we really are" (246).
In yet a third layer, Quinn envisions life as a war between two factions: the Allegiance versus the Resistance. Hoping to make room for people who are different, Quinn stands against tyranny but comes to realize that prejudice is everywhere. If it were up to him, gender wouldn't be a determining factor in what people are expected or allowed to do. But Quinn realizes that—try as he might—he can't change the way the world works, a world where he is constantly told to "man up." Eventually, Quinn accepts the futility of wishing to live in the aether, where war, bigotry, gender constructs, and weapons don't exist.
Under the influence of Brewer's pen, the reader is treated to many intriguing thought points. Among those are important morals: that fear of judgment and rejection can paralyze a person; that we each contain multitudes—making the pronoun they both suitable and appropriate; and that trust is a thread that keeps the heart together through war and stress and pain.
The novel also shares disconcerting and paradoxical truths: that "no one every fully knows anyone—not even themselves" (290); that survival sometimes depends on our ability to tap into our monstrous side; and that we choose our own reality as well as the people who will share that reality with us. We just have to "decide if the price of a closet is worth it" (293) and how much pain we're willing to endure.
Attempting to piece together the brokenness of a puzzled life, Quinn must decide which world is worth living in: "A world where you are female and your family is alive and well. But your parents will never accept a queer child as their own. A world where you are male and command the respect of many, but risk living under the rule of a group that wishes to snuff out the queer of society. Or a world full of monsters and mayhem, where your family is dead, but gender doesn't matter" (293).
Ultimately, Brewer's book forces us all to confront certain realities: that no one else is the judge and jury of our self-worth. Someone else's reaction to our truth isn't a reflection of who we are. Although we author our own life stories, some things are not within our power to change. We have to acknowledge the trauma of rejection and move forward with newfound wisdom.

History of Germany
The Honecker Era, 1971-89
Ulbricht's successor in East Germany was Erich Honecker. Born in 1913 in the Saarland, Honecker joined the Communist Party of Germany (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands--KPD) in 1929. As a full-time functionary of the party, he continued his work in the underground movement after Hitler came to power in 1933 and until arrested by the Nazis in 1935. Imprisoned until the end of World War II, Honecker resumed his career in 1945 as a leading KPD functionary, becoming Ulbricht's assistant on the latter's return to Germany from the Soviet Union in 1945. From 1946 to 1955, Honecker served as chairman of the youth organization, the Free German Youth (Freie Deutsche Jugend--FDJ). He became a member of the SED Politburo in 1958. As secretary for security matters of the SED Central Committee, Honecker was directly responsible for the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961. When Ulbricht was removed from power in 1971, Honecker succeeded him in his party functions and became chief of the SED. Honecker was head of state of the GDR from 1976 until his resignation in 1989. After his fall from power, Honecker found refuge in the Embassy of Chile in Moscow until his extradition to Berlin in 1992, where he was brought to trial. He was released from custody in 1993 for health reasons and went to Chile, where he died in 1994. Although less rigid than Ulbricht, as evidenced by his willingness to sign agreements with the West that opened the GDR somewhat and made the lives of its citizens easier, Honecker remained a convinced communist until his death.
The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Keen to gain international recognition of its sphere of interest and believing that such recognition would solidify its grip on its East European satellite states, the Soviet Union, beginning in the early 1970s, sponsored an initiative calling for the convening of a Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. For the West, such meetings meant the possibility of tying the Soviet Union and its satellites to an international security system, thereby lessening tensions, furthering economic cooperation, and obtaining humanitarian improvements for the people of Eastern Europe. The first of the series of conferences opened in July 1973 in Helsinki and was attended by the foreign ministers of the thirty-five member states. At the conference's final meeting in 1975, the heads of state of all member countries were in attendance for the signing of the Final Act, or the Helsinki Accords.
As subsequent CSCE conferences showed, Soviet officials had totally underestimated the effect of the provisions for the exchange of information, which allowed for the unscrambled reception of Western media broadcasts within the geographic area of the Warsaw Pact countries. East Germans benefited especially from access to West German radio and television programs, which furnished previously unobtainable news about world events. Television viewers in the East also became aware of an obviously far superior standard of living in the West and developed a new awareness of the deficiencies of the communist regime, an awareness that fifteen years later led to the events that brought down that regime.
The New East German Constitution and the Question of Identity
Although the GDR had finally achieved its goal of international recognition with the signing of the Basic Treaty in December 1972, renewed concerns about the stability and identity of the GDR as a second German state drove the SED Politburo toward a policy of reaffirming the socialist nature of the state. As early as 1971, Honecker had launched a campaign to foster a socialist identity among East Germans and to counter West German emphasis on the historical unity of the German nation. In 1974 the GDR constitution was even amended to increase a sense of separate development. All references in the document to the "German nation" and to German national heritage were deleted.
The SED had long revised German history to make it conform to socialist purposes. Symbols of Prussian heritage in Berlin, such as the equestrian statue of Prussian king Frederick the Great, had been removed. And in 1950, Ulbricht had ordered the 500-year-old palace of the Hohenzollern Dynasty demolished because it was a symbol of "feudal repression."
Just as the SED was striving to develop a separate GDR consciousness and loyalty, however, the new access to Western media, arranged by the CSCE process and formalized in the Helsinki Accords of 1975, was engendering a growing enthusiasm among East Germans for West Germany's Ostpolitik. Honecker sought to counter this development by devising a new formula: "citizenship, GDR; nationality, German." After the SED's Ninth Party Congress in May 1976, Honecker went one step further: figures of Prussian history, such as the reformers Karl vom Stein, Karl August von Hardenberg, Gerhard von Scharnhorst, and the founder of Berlin University,Wilhelm von Humboldt, were rehabilitated and claimed as historical ancestors of the GDR. Frederick the Great and Otto von Bismarck were also restored to prominence. Even Martin Luther was judged a worthy historical figure who needed to be understood within the context of his times.
These concessions did not alter the regime's harsh policy toward dissidents, however. Primary targets were artists and writers who advocated reforms and democratization, including Wolf Biermann, a poet-singer popular among East German youth who was expelled from the GDR in 1976. A wave of persecution of other dissident intellectuals followed. Some were imprisoned; others were deported to West Germany. Nonetheless, political statements by East German intellectuals, some going so far as to advocate reunification, continued to appear anonymously in the West German press.
Relations Between the Two Germanys
Although Honecker pursued a tough policy against internal dissidents and carefully guarded the GDR's unique identity as the state in which the old Marxist dream of socialism had become a reality, he was keenly aware of the necessity for communication and reasonable working relations with the FRG. His dream of being received at the White House as a guest of state by United States president Ronald Reagan was never realized, but Honecker opened more lines of communication to Western politicians than had his predecessors.
As a consequence of the Helsinki Accords, the reception of Western news media broadcasts was tacitly allowed in the GDR. In the early 1980s, it also became possible for citizens of the GDR who were not yet pensioners to visit relatives in the West in cases involving urgent family matters. Under a new regulation, refugees who had gone to the West before 1981 and had therefore automatically lost their GDR citizenship could now enter the GDR with their West German passport. These measures benefited East Germans and, together with access to Western television, helped to create a new relaxed atmosphere in the GDR.
On the economic side, the GDR fully utilized the advantages of the Interzone Trading Agreement, which allowed special consideration for the export of goods from the GDR to the FRG and other EC member states, as well as the import of vital industrial products from the West. Diplomatic relations with the EC were established in 1988, a reversal of the former policy that saw the organization as a threat to the GDR's sovereignty. The annual Leipzig Industrial Fair also provided a convenient forum for meeting Western politicians and industrialists.
The severe shortage of Western currency in the GDR, one of the key concerns of the SED leadership, was alleviated by agreements with the FRG that tripled the bulk contributions to the East German postal administration by the FRG. Similar agreements, financially advantageous to the GDR, improved the highway links to West Berlin. More significant, however, was the granting of bank credits amounting to DM2 billion to the GDR during 1983 and 1984. The CSU leader and minister president of Bavaria, Franz Josef Strauss, was the principal negotiator of these credit agreements.
At first, the credits appeared to yield positive results along the inner-German border, where mines and automatic guns, which had so long posed a deadly threat to East Germans attempting to flee to the FRG, were dismantled. Later, however, it became clear that these devices had been replaced by nearly impenetrable electronic warning systems and with trained dogs at certain sectors along the border. The order to shoot at refugees was not rescinded but remained in effect almost until the end of the GDR regime. Also remaining in effect were strict controls for West German citizens at GDR border crossings and on transit routes to and from West Berlin, although there were no further reports of people being abused at border checkpoints.
However much relations improved between the two states in some areas, the stance of the SED leadership toward the FRG's NATO membership remained hostile. Harsh attacks in the East German press labeling the FRG as an "American missile launcher" became more frequent during the debates on the stationing of Pershing II and cruise missiles. On occasion, high-level official visits were canceled to signal the GDR's opposition to Western military policies. The FRG responded in kind. For example, Federal President Karl Carstens (1979-84) did not attend as planned the East German celebrations on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther in 1983.
In October 1987, when the two superpowers were striving for d�tente and disarmament and the relations between the two Germanys were cordial, Honecker visited Bonn as the GDR head of state. The visit, postponed several times, was in response to Chancellor Schmidt's visit to East Germany in 1981. Honecker was in the West German capital for an "official working meeting." He signed agreements for cooperation in the areas of science and technology, as well as environmental protection. Honecker's statement that the border dividing the two Germanys would one day be seen as a line "connecting" the two states, similar to the border between the GDR and Poland, attracted thoughtful public attention in the West. Honecker was cordially received by members of the government, in the words of Federal President Richard von Weizs�cker (1984-94), as a "German among Germans." However, at various stages of the visit--which subsequently took him to several federal states, including his native Saarland--large numbers of demonstrators chanted, "The wall must go."
The East German media coverage of the visit provided the opportunity for Chancellor Kohl to speak to "all the people in Germany" and to call for the breaking down of barriers "in accordance with the wishes of the German people." Although the visit yielded no immediate concrete results and Honecker's hopes of increased political recognition for the GDR were not realized, a dialogue had begun that could make the division of Germany more bearable for the people involved. As of late 1987, however, there was still little hope of overcoming the division itself.
The Peace Movement and Internal Resistance
The GDR leadership welcomed protests against weapons and war as long as they occurred in the FRG. However, when a small group of East German pacifists advocating the conversion of "swords into plowshares" demonstrated in 1981 against the presence of Soviet missiles on GDR soil, as well as against the destruction of the environment by the dumping of industrial waste and the use of nuclear power generally, they were arrested, prosecuted, and in some cases expelled from the GDR. Church organizations in the GDR--considered subversive by their mere existence--and individual pastors who protected and defended demonstrators at risk to their own safety became targets of increased surveillance by the Stasi, as did individual churchgoers, who by 1988 were frequently arrested and interrogated.
The mounting nervousness of the GDR leadership became evident in June 1987 when large crowds of East Berlin youth gathered on their side of the Wall, along with young people from all over the GDR, to hear two rock concerts being held in West Berlin near the Reichstag building. When the crowd broke into frenzied cries for freedom and unification, police cleared the area, arresting and forcibly removing Western news reporters filming the incident.
In the local elections of May 17, 1989, the "united list" led by the SED received 98.9 percent of the vote, obviously the result of massive manipulation, which enraged large segments of the population who had previously remained silent. In the next months, persistent public complaints against the prevailing living conditions and lack of basic freedoms, voiced by church groups and by opposition groups, inspired the population to take to the streets in large numbers. The largest of the new opposition groups was the New Forum, founded in September 1989 by B�rbel Bohley, Jens Reich, and others.
During the fall of 1989, mass demonstrations of several hundred thousand people were taking place, first in what soon became traditional Monday demonstrations in Leipzig and later in Berlin and other large cities. For the first time, GDR rulers realized that they were losing control: the demonstrations were too massive to be quelled by intimidation or even mass arrests; and shooting at the demonstrators was out of the question because of the sheer size of the crowds and the absence of Soviet support for draconian measures.
Beginning in the summer of 1989, the regime was threatened by another development. Among the thousands of GDR citizens that traveled by car on "vacation" to the socialist "brother country" Hungary, some 600 were successful in crossing illegally into Austria, where they were enthusiastically welcomed before traveling on to the FRG. Others wanting to escape the GDR took refuge in the embassies of the FRG in Budapest, Prague, and Warsaw. On September 11, Hungary legalized travel over the border to Austria for GDR citizens heading for the FRG, enabling 15,000 to take this route within a few days. Eventually, the GDR leadership was forced to allow special trains to carry thousands of GDR refugees who had received permission to emigrate to the West after taking sanctuary in the FRG's embassies in Prague and Warsaw. As the trains traveled through the GDR, many more refugees tried to climb aboard, so the government refused to further allow such transports.
The Last Days of East Germany
In January 1988, Honecker paid a state visit to France. By all indications, the long stretch of international isolation appeared to have been successfully overcome. The GDR finally seemed to be taking its long-sought place among the international community of nations. In the minds of the GDR's old-guard communists, the long-awaited international political recognition was seen as a favorable omen that seemed to coincide symbolically with the fortieth anniversary of the East German state.
In spite of Honecker's declaration as late as January 1989 that "The Wall will still stand in fifty and also in a hundred years," the effects of glasnost and perestroika had begun to be evident in the Soviet Union and throughout Eastern Europe. Although the GDR leadership tried to deny the reality of these developments, for most East Germans the reforms of Soviet leader Gorbachev were symbols of a new era that would inevitably also reach the GDR. The GDR leadership's frantic attempts to block the news coming out of the Soviet Union by preventing the distribution of Russian newsmagazines only strengthened growing protest within the population.
In Berlin, on October 7, the GDR leadership celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the East German state. In his address, Honecker sharply condemned the FRG for interfering in the GDR's internal affairs and for encouraging protesters. Still convinced of his mission to secure the survival of the GDR as a state, he proclaimed: "Socialism will be halted in its course neither by ox, nor ass." The prophetic retort by Gorbachev, honored guest at the celebrations, as quoted to the international press, more accurately reflected imminent realities: "He who comes too late will suffer the consequences of history."
The consequences of not having held in check the earlier large demonstrations against the regime's inflexibility came two days later when 70,000 protesters shouting "We are the people" demonstrated in Leipzig. When the police took no action during these historic hours of October 9, 1989, it became clear to everyone that the days of the GDR were numbered. After the crowds in Leipzig reached over 100,000 protesters on October 16, the Central Committee of the SED--previously kept in the background by Honecker and his comrades in the party leadership--took control. Honecker resigned from his offices as head of state and party leader on October 18.
Egon Krenz, longtime member of the Politburo and FDJ chairman, became Honecker's successor as general secretary of the SED. On October 24, Krenz also assumed the chairmanship of the Council of State. On his orders, all police actions against demonstrators were discontinued. On November 4, the largest demonstration in GDR history took place, with over 1 million people in East Berlin demanding democracy and free elections. Confronted with this wave of popular opposition, the GDR government, under Prime Minister Willi Stoph, resigned on November 7. The Politburo followed suit on November 8. Finally, on the evening of November 9, Politburo member G�nter Schabowski announced the opening of the border crossings into the FRG.

All things Honors at Ball State
Parting: Such Sweet Sorrow
Honors College senior says goodbye to Student Honors Council.
by Kristin Wietecha
Hannah Vollmer is a senior majoring in creating writing and is soon departing from Ball State. She plans to make new memories while carrying the experiences that she gained during her time here and said she also hopes to incorporate the leadership skills she's learned from being president of Student Honors Council into her future plans.
Q: What is one thing you'll remember most from SHC?
A: I think the thing I'll remember the most about SHC (not only this year, but in years past) is the fun attitude that everyone has. While we had to cover some serious issues with events and such, there was always a light-heartedness that enveloped you as you walked into the Honors garage. It was nice to be in that sort of environment at least once a week. I'll definitely miss the smiles, jokes and fun times that occurred in those meetings.
Q: What did SHC teach you? Have you changed as a person because of SHC?
A: One lesson I learned this year as vice president is that meeting people where they are at is the most important thing as a leader. Being understanding, listening to what a person has to say, and addressing the issue in such a way that it can be handled quickly and professionally is something that I have developed this past year and will continue to use in my endeavors. SHC has only fed my hunger for leadership and community and I am so thankful for the opportunity to see it grow.
Q: What do you plan to do after you graduate?
A: After graduation, I will start a two-year mission with FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). I will be placed on a college campus somewhere in the continental United States, meeting college students where they are and inviting them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith.
Events, trends, and happenings in the Honors community and beyond.

While the name Tamedog comes from a snowboarders front flip, as skiers we have taken it and transformed it into it's own beast! Don't get confused, this is not the same as a Frontflip so read on, learn about the Tamedog and get it under control today so you can stomp it tomorrow.
For all our other great flipping tutorials, check out our Flips & Off-Axis Series.
Other than not biting your hand off, a Tamedog is great because it is a very low risk flip meaning it can be one of your first attempts at flipping on skis. Before trying this trick though, be able to spin 360s and 540s with mellow grabs.
Before hitting the snow, give it a go on your Tramp Skis. With Tramp Skis on, make sure your Frontflips are easy. The biggest difference in a Frontflip and a Tamedog is the takeoff and the landing.
Start with finishing a Frontflip with your weaker leg touching the ground before the other, landing forward into your stronger leg. Next, takeoff into your Frontflip with your strong leg in front. The more you kick your weak leg back by pushing off your strong leg, the faster you can get it going. The actual flip in a Tamedog should be quite similar to a front flip.
To challenge yourself, takeoff the tramp skis, and try some off of a ledge onto a mat.
To learn, find yourself a cat track with a moderately steep and soft slope behind it. To ensure that you won't hurt your neck, see if you can lean super far forward on your skis and grab your noses. You'll need that flex to go over your head.
Set yourself up on the edge of the cat track.
Now lean forward, tuck your head in like you would for a front roll.
Put your hands to the ground, and kick your weak leg behind to get rolling to the back of your head.
Try to roll from your neck smoothly down to your lower back to reduce impact.
When you land on the other side, your tails will most likely get caught in the snow. That's normal at first. As you go faster your tails should get less caught up after the roll.
Now that you're going a little faster, with staggered legs just before your roll, lean back on your weak leg and push forward to roll off your strong leg. When you come around flipping, get your weaker leg tucked in to accelerate and to prepare for landing.
Keep going faster and popping slightly so you can get all the way around to land stacked and comfortable.
If you can do it on a cat track, trying one on a small jump isn't harder but it does require more confidence since you'll most likely be going faster. Planting your foot against a jump takeoff also creates more resistance than a cat track does. Therefore, your planting leg should have to work harder, but once it's flipping it should be easier to land!
Be safe with your first flips, going through the steps and choosing the right conditions to go for it is key!
