Unpacking the Notion of Race Science
Yamily Habib
In a genetic sense, we are all Africans.
It might sound like a politically charged statement, but it's not — it's a factually sound one, and it contradicts everything that prominent race scientists have been trying to prove over the past two centuries with divisive, faulty science. But we'll get to the bottom of our collective African heritage later to explain in what ways this revelation does and doesn't matter in the context of race science.
Race science is not science at all, but rather a system of belief that perpetuates racism through supposedly objective criteria. It's been used to describe why Asian people excel in academic settings, why white people tend to have more refined notions of civilization, why Latinx people are hard workers, why black people are athletically superior to their non-black peers.
White supremacists use race science in blatant ways to describe why their race is superior to all other races on earth. This tradition of thought exists despite the fact that what it means to embody whiteness has changed in the past century. For example, Italian immigrants in the early 20th century were not always considered white but rather a different race altogether and, hence, were deserving of derision and exploitation.
But even people who today do not consider themselves to be white supremacists use race science to argue against the implementation of anti-racist political policies, to justify their own privilege, and to reinforce harmful stereotypes that suggest that someone is racially predestined to have a certain future. Because race science can help someone convince themselves of all of the above, it's a concept that has unfortunately had a lot of staying power over the centuries, and over the past few decades despite the advancement of science.
Let's take the time to unpack the notion of race science, starting from the beginning.
The Origins of Race Science
In a nutshell, race science originated in colonial mentalities as a way to justify the extermination or enslavement of people who appeared to be savages. By finding ways to explain that one group of people was more or less intelligent, physically capable of manual labor, or subservient, even the most religiously pious colonizers sought to absolve themselves of any responsibility they may have had over the suffering of other humans.
Samuel George Morton is the most well known figure in the history of race science, an American scholar of the early 19th century who had a keen interest in skulls. Using pseudo-scientific measurements of skulls of different people representing what he determined to be the five different races of the globe — Caucasians, Mongolians, Malayans, Native Americans, and black Africans — Morton developed his ideas of race science to establish a divine hierarchy in which Caucasians were designed to exist at the top, supposedly having been endowed with the biggest brains by the Almighty. With these supposedly superior brains, they were suited to pursue intellectual tasks and civilization. (By the way, brain size in humans has no correlation to intelligence; Neanderthals had significantly larger brains than we do.) Using science to explain race is not unlike the way that Christians used passages from the Bible to explain why the enslavement of Africans was God's will.
As the skull volumes shrank in Morton's impeccable records, so did the humanity of the race, ultimately supporting the racist belief that slaves in America were performing work that they were predisposed to perform. If you want to feel totally skeeved out by the father of race science, you can visit Morton's collection of skulls at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia.
Fortunately, Morton's scientific method did not stand the test of time, but his approach in using objective measures to try and differentiate the races of the world, considered to be the beginning of race science, was groundbreaking and consequently set the stage for generations of "experts" to try proving that racial disparities are a result of genetics, rather than racism.
Using Race Science to Justify Racism
In 1994, Charles Murray published "The Bell Curve," a divisive and racist work of thinly veiled scholarship that was championed by people who held racist ideas. For instance, Murray concluded that poor black people in America were poor because they were not as capable or intelligent as whites and Asians. His theories were used to explain why policies like affirmative action were ineffective at addressing racial disparities in the country. Obviously, Murray's findings were debunked by experts far and wide, but his book still has fans in high places.
Andrew Sullivan, a former editor of The New Republic, is who the Guardian has described as a "cheerleader" for "The Bell Curve." He once explained in his own words, "We remain the same species, just as a poodle and a beagle are of the same species. But poodles, in general, are smarter than beagles, and beagles have a much better sense of smell." With this analogy, he insisted that race science is simply a colorblind and potentially unfortunate series of genetic coincidences that predispose some humans to be smarter or better suited for society than others. It was less a scientific conclusion and more a way to deny the inherent racism of race science.
Sullivan is just one of many modern day proponents of race science who might not consider themselves white supremacists, and yet are touting ideas rooted in white supremacy. The Guardian also quoted Steve Bannon as writing in a Breitbart piece, "There are, after all, in this world, some people who are naturally aggressive and violent." He wrote this piece to explain the prevalence of shoot-to-kill police tactics that have taken the lives of innocent black Americans, or even ones guilty of non-violent crimes. It's not that police are doing anything wrong, felt Bannon, but that the inherent aggression of their victims has led to the unfortunate, non-racist end of their lives.
Race Science's Appearance in American Institutions
This race science and its denial of racism are woven into even the most innocuous of American institutions. For instance, the SAT test was created by Carl C. Brigham, who only a few years prior had touted racial disparities in IQ test scores as evidence of genetic differences; today, we're still trying to debunk the idea that these standardized tests are an accurate measure of merit or achievement, since they are more likely to reflect a student's access to an adequate education and end up perpetuating socially-constructed hierarchies of race in America.
Angela Saini, author of "Superior: The Return of Race Science," pointed out to NPR that, of all places for racist science to thrive, it goes practically unnoticed in the context of medicine. Take sickle cell anemia, for instance, which can affect people who trace their lineage back to regions where malaria is prevalent — including, but not limited to, parts of Africa. "The reason it looks racialized in the U.S. is that in the U.S., many white people are of European ancestry, and many black people, because of the history of slavery, are of West African ancestry," she explained. "That means that in the U.S., you see far higher rates of sickle cell in the black population than the white population." In other words, black people in the US are more likely to have it because of how their ancestors were displaced, rather than because of their racial identity.
Faulty race science can reinforce racial bias in medicine, putting all patients in harm's way. Author Ibram X. Kendi spoke at Bates University a few years ago about this myth of sickle cell being a "black disease," sharing that he had to convince his wife, who is a doctor, that one of her white patients was suffering from sickle cell.
The Indisputable Facts
Nearly 200 years after Samuel Morton used science in his attempt to prove the qualities of race in different peoples around the globe — placing Black Africans at the bottom of his racial designations — the Human Genome Project determined that the modern human race shares a genetic makeup that is 99.9 percent similar. "We all evolved in the last 100,000 years from the same small number of tribes that migrated out of Africa and colonized the world," said Dr. J. Craig Venter, who led the project, upon announcing the findings in 2000 to the New York Times. His findings supported the fact that from an evolutionary standpoint, 100,000 years is not long enough for humans to have mutated into genetically distinct races. This is the point of discovery that revealed that in a genetic context — the one that has interested race scientists from the beginning — we are all African.
Following the publication of the project's conclusions, there were of course still people who looked to that final .1 percent to account for perceived racial differences. However, this .1 percent is simply the part of the Human Genome Project that researchers do not fully understand, not the .1 percent of genes that might describe our racial inheritance. "Race is a social concept, not a scientific one," Venter explained.
Because we've been so conditioned to understanding our ancestry along racial lines, it can be hard for us to accept that pigmentation doesn't accurately reflect how genetically similar one person is to the next. But the reality is that it's a terribly inaccurate way to stratify the global population into different races. "We often have this idea that if I know your skin color, I know X, Y, and Z about you," a molecular anthropologist explained to National Geographic. Even without sorting through the findings of the Human Genome Project, though it's easy enough to understand how race is simply a tool that we use to interpret the appearance of someone by their skin color, rather than describing any underlying genetic material.
We can immediately dispel this genetic conception of race by considering how race manifests in some of our friends. Let's say you know a pair of siblings who were born to an interracial set of parents. One fair-skinned, red-headed parent might be considered white, while the other brown-skinned, dark-haired parent might be considered Latino. Naturally, the siblings are genetically similar — but different genes may express themselves at the superficial level, leaving one sibling to appear white and the other to appear Latinx. The siblings' physical features — skin tone, hair texture, eye color, all of the defining characteristics that go into our constructed conceptions of race — say absolutely nothing about their genetic similarity to one another, nor to how similar they are to both parents.
Thinking about the fallacy of race this way at the global level, using skin tone to define someone's race or even their perceived region of origin, can be equally inaccurate. For example, genetically speaking, East Africans are more closely related to Western Europeans than they are to their West African neighbors. Classifying people from the two regions as black simply describes their skin tone, which is ultimately a limited reflection of our genomic expression, describing more accurately their proximity to the equator than their DNA.
Race Has Real Implications
So, the science is indisputable: We are all one race, and it's a race that happens to originate from our collective ancestors in Africa, the cradle of modern humanity.
But, while we need to continue to debunk race science, we can't yet uncouple ourselves from our ideas about race because the reality is that we are far from living in a post-racial society. We're at least a generation or two away from being able to say "All Lives Matter" without dismissing the reality that our nation functions along racial lines at its foundational level. We are all one human race, yet walking away from the Human Genome project with this conclusion will only serve to perpetuate the racial disparities that exist within societies.
Saini emphasized to NPR that while race is a social construct that varies from country to country — consider how someone characterized as Hispanic in the US could be classified as White in Mexico —we can't dismiss the idea of race simply because it isn't rooted in elementary science. "I've read genetics textbooks on race that say race is all silly — we should all let it go and live in this kind of colorblind world. Well, no, because that's not the world that we live in," she said, recalling how she had been targeted by a racist bully as a child because of the tone of her skin rather than her underlying genetics. "[The bully] threw rocks at me because I looked brown and that he took exception to that. And that's not going to stop."
In other words, the impact of constructed racial identity is real because it has real implications on individuals' lives, the existence of hate groups, and policymaking at this point in history. Race doesn't describe our origins in any accurate way, but it does accurately describe how we are organized within society, by society. For the time being, we're stuck with our faulty conception of race, but we can help to redefine it by reckoning with what race does and doesn't mean.
Beyond that, using science and history to call race science out as a racist idea is the only way to debunk race science — though if history is any indication, it's going to take a while to get everyone on board.

Critics Call Shaun King's New Fashion Company A Scam After Controversy Over His 'Lavish' Home
There are documented grievances from organizers, volunteers, former board members and others about King's fundraising practices.

Journalist and activist Shaun King on Wednesday announced his plans to start a new fashion company and offered his millions of Instagram followers the chance to buy exclusive merchandise when it officially launches next month.
But even though King said the fashion company had been something that had been in the works for a while now, the announcement was immediately met with skepticism as a chorus of people calling the endeavor a "scam" rippled across social media timelines.
"Instagram. This is just for you," King wrote on his private Instagram account as shown in a screenshot of the announcement that was being shared widely. "Only selling them here to our private community."
Without providing an image to show what the t-shirts and hoodies King was advertising might look like, he asked his nearly 4 million followers to also follow the new Instagram account of the new fashion company, A Real One, which is scheduled to debut on Sept. 8.
Instead, the former adviser on Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign offered his followers a link that directed people who clicked to a Google document where they can provide their contact information in order to be "notified first" when the merchandise is available for sale.
Obviously, the entrepreneurial spirit is nothing to laugh about, especially as the U.S. tries to spark an economy that's been decimated by the pandemic.
However, when cynics on social media learned of King's upcoming venture into the fashion world, they were suspicious of the business venture for a number of reasons. Chief among them seemed to be the years of allegations and suspicions centered on King's finances and accusations that he has repeatedly and shamelessly bilked people out of money for his own benefit.
The announcement from King on Wednesday came weeks after the New York Post — a right-wing tabloid whose motivations for reporting anything should always be scrutinized — revealed in a damning report that he was living in a home in suburban New Jersey that reportedly cost $842,000.
His critics immediately reacted with derision and scorn and suggested the home was financed with money he obtained through grifting and swindling from donations solicited for other causes.
Days later, King and his friends announced he had no other choice but to move from that "lavish" home over security concerns for him and his family and asked his followers for financial help to pay for his relocation.
It all was part of a larger pattern and grander scheme of King trying to scam his way into the pockets of his followers and others, his critics said.
People have receipts
There are documented grievances from organizers, volunteers, former board members and other concerned parties about money that King has dismissed as hate or dissatisfaction.
Chief among those voices bringing attention to the combination of King and fundraising is Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old boy who was gunned down and killed by a Cleveland police officer in 2014 within seconds of being seen.
Samaria Rice, as sympathetic and genuine of a person as there ever was, recently called out King for "chasing clout" because he published the contents of what she said was an off-the-record conversation. She called King "a white man acting black" and revived criticism of his fundraising practices that first came under fire when a 2015 Washington Post article couldn't account for $60,000 in missing online donations he solicited.
"Personally I don't understand how you sleep at night," Samaria Rice said in June. "I never gave you permission to raise nothing."
To be sure, beyond the issues that arise every time King and fundraising are mentioned in the same sentence, there needs to be space for a conversation about reconciling the difference between being compensated for one's labor and platform and when that line is crossed into personally profiting off justice work.
It's impossible to ignore the demonization movement leaders decades ago faced by conservatives in efforts to discredit them under disingenuous pretenses. King, in his Instagram post on Sunday, drew the same parallels in 2021, suggesting he, too, was a political target.

The 65-inch variant is available in China currently, and comes with a 4K display and smart connectivity. It isat CNY 5,999 (roughly Rs. 63,000) in China. While the Xiaomi TV range in India starts at Rs. 12,499 onwards for the 32-inch variant, some of its popular options are larger sizes where the price difference is more pronounced. The 65-inch variant could be priced at around Rs. 60,000 or less, when it is launched. There is currently no timeline on when the new TV will be launched in India, but it's likely to be launched soon.

Significant Court of Appeal decision - Confirmation that redundancy-based unfair dismissal claims belong in the WRC, not the High Court
Speedread
This week the Court of Appeal weighed in on the crucial question of precisely where an employee can legally seek to challenge the redundancy of their role. The Unfair Dismissals legislation provides a statutory framework within which employees can bring such a claim to the Workplace Relations Commission (the WRC). However, in this week's Kearney case, the question asked was whether, notwithstanding this statutory route of redress, an employee could challenge their redundancy before the High Court to secure injunctive relief.
The Court of Appeal has confirmed that it is "entirely satisfied" that it would be "entirely inappropriate" to grant such injunctive relief given the existing statutory route of redress available to employees.
The plaintiff, Mr Kearney, was employed from 2006 until his termination of employment in August 2017. Mr Kearney experienced bouts of lengthy certified sickness absence during the course of his employment. In 2016, during a period of unpaid leave, the employer referred Mr Kearney to an independent medical practitioner to assess his fitness for work. Both Mr Kearney's own psychiatrist and the independent practitioner concluded Mr Kearney was fit to return for work. However, Mr Kearney's requests to return to the office were, Mr Kearney submitted, "ignored".
The employer subsequently wrote to Mr Kearney in August 2017 to advise that Mr Kearney's "previous role is not available and in fact it no longer exists". The letter confirmed that his employer had been "unable to identify another suitable role" and confirmed Mr Kearney was "redundant". He was paid all contractual and statutory entitlements.
Mr Kearney ultimately instituted High Court proceedings against his employer to restrain his dismissal. His employer resisted this application, arguing that "no right of action exists at common law arising from an alleged unfair selection for redundancy and that the cause of action derives from the statutory redress scheme" under the Redundancy Payments legislation and Unfair Dismissals legislation. In turn, Mr Kearney argued that his claim was not "properly characterised" as a claim for statutory unfair dismissal but rather a common law breach of contract claim on the basis his employer had failed to "observe fairness of procedures" before dismissing him.
What did the High Court decide?
The High Court confirmed that "the primary issue in the hearing was one of jurisdiction". In circumstances where Mr Kearney could take an unfair dismissal claim to the "more informal setting" of the WRC, is he barred from seeking injunctive relief before the High Court?
The High Court focused on the 2009 case of Nolan v Emo Oil Services which "had the most similarity" to Mr Kearney's case – i.e. Mr Nolan sought injunctive relief to prevent his dismissal on grounds of redundancy. The High Court in the Nolan case found that it was not for the "courts now to expand a common law principle into the same field and produce an outcome inconsistent with that created by the statutory code". It was held that Mr Nolan's remedy arose under statute and he had "not otherwise acquired a cause of action for breach of contract". Where the Oireachtas provided "specific remedies for unfair dismissal and specific procedures for obtaining such remedies, the common law had no role to play".
The High Court concluded, based on the above, that Mr Kearney had not made out a "strong case that would justify the granting of an injunction". Mr Kearney appealed to the Court of Appeal.
What did the Court of Appeal decide?
As part of his appeal, Mr Kearney argued that his redundancy was a "sham" and, as a result, there had been a breach of an implied term of his employment contract – i.e. breach of mutual trust and good faith. Mr Kearney alleged that the decision by his employer to dismiss him was "capricious and arbitrary" since his position was "demonstrably" not redundant. It was submitted that simply because Mr Kearney's employer "described the dismissal as one based on a redundancy does not mean that this is correct" and asked the Court of Appeal not to be "influenced by the label attached to the dismissal" but rather to "look at the substance of the dismissal". On this basis Mr Kearney asserted that Nolan should be distinguished or even declared to be "wrongly decided".
The employer, in defence, maintained that the Nolan decision was "correct in principle" and a "statutory scheme" had been introduced by the Oireachtas for the "very purpose" of addressing any claim that a redundancy situation was a "sham". The employer submitted that Mr Kearney's attempt to contend there had been a breach of an implied term of trust was "contrived" and was not "sufficient to bring the present case within the now restricted ambit of the common law in employment maters". The employer further contended that to do so would "open the floodgates to many applications for injunctions" of this kind and would "ignore the express and clear intention of the Oireachtas" that such disputes be dealt with under the statutory framework before the WRC.
The Court of Appeal confirmed that the decision in Nolan was an "insuperable obstacle" to Mr Kearney obtaining injunctive relief to restrain his dismissal and have his salary paid in the meantime. He concluded that the High Court decision in Mr Kearney's case was "perfectly correct" and there was no "strong case" to be heard. The Court held that an implied term of trust and good faith does not deprive an employer of the right to terminate the employment contract with proper notice and, for example, where it is based on a redundancy. The Court found that Mr Kearney had not established that the employer had acted in bad faith in reaching a decision to terminate his employment on the basis of a redundancy and, accordingly, Mr Kearney could not "escape the clutches of the decision in Nolan".
The Court of Appeal, accordingly, dismissed Mr Kearney's appeal.
What does this mean for employers in Ireland?
This case is a welcome endorsement of the ten year old High Court decision in Nolan; clarifying that all roads lead to the WRC when it comes to challenging the legitimacy of a redundancy dismissal. The Court of Appeal categorically confirmed that it is "entirely satisfied" that the correct route of redress for such claims (the WRC) has been clearly identified by the legislature and it would be "entirely inappropriate" to ignore this path in favour of knocking on the door of the High Court. This case serves as a salutary lesson for employees of the risks posed when challenging a dismissal outside of the statutory framework.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - A New Philosophical Understanding
Patterns of development that are not just hereditary or down to genetics. In understanding the processes of neural adaption that can take place throughout childhood and continue through adulthood, teachers and parents can be better placed not just to help control the development of ADHD, but to see it as a benefit that allows that individual to thrive.
Based on recent research that has shown how those most likely to be diagnosed are predominantly the oldest of siblings and yet also those who are the youngest in their class.
When this data was so conclusive and have also learnt how the train adapts through life based on behavioural patterns, my thoughts immediately were - how this elements relate to something if it were hereditary?

The Mystery of the David Oluwale Blue Plaque Theft in Leeds - What really happened?
This one is a little off topic for regular listeners to my podcasts, but on listening it will give you an insight into objective opinion, socratic search for the truth and I can finally reveal what had consumed so much of my own life and time last year that a led to me taking the extended break from recording podcasts as well as my having to leave Leeds for two months at the end of last year.
The story of the theft of the David Oluwale blue plaque in Leeds the day after its unveiling has gripped the city, it is being described as a "hate crime" and has led to national attention as a result. This audio will explain how a hate crime or a crime that is racially motivated is, whilst indeed possible, the most unlikely of 4 possible scenarios, the last of which will highlight an agenda and discrimination of another kind, a kind that is at play right now and is the leading cause of West Yorkshire and Leeds in particular having a male suicide rate that is far higher than anywhere else in the UK, indeed it is why that rate is double that of London.
I do know that in releasing this I may indeed risk my own life, but in such an event the evidence which I have ensured is multiple places will come out and if that is needed to put an end to this dark shadow that has settled over society and my life is sacrificed for the saving of many others then, well as Marcus Aurelius would think himself, if my life which is but a spec in time ends in order to serve the greater good, then that is the way it must be.

I've painted a lot of Hares over the years, but the amazing Summer of 2018 inspired me to capture one in a hot climate. For some reason, I was inspired to show a (Greek?) Olive tree as well; perhaps reminded of the old Aesop fable 'The Fox and the Grapes', I present: 'The Hare and the Olive'!

Let's talk about sects: Diversity in Second-Temple Judaism (NT 2.3)
Citation with stable link: Philip A. Harland, 'Let's talk about sects: Diversity in Second-Temple Judaism (NT 2.3),' Last modified May 6, 2019, http://philipharland.com/Blog/?p=177.
Judean culture in the second-temple period (c. 500 BCE-70 CE) was diverse. And it is important to remember that what we often call "early Christianity" or, perhaps better, the Jesus-movement was in fact one among many Judean groups or sects in first century Palestine and the Mediterranean diaspora (Jews also lived in Greek and Roman cities outside of Israel).
Among groups within Judaism or Judean culture, we happen to know most about the sects that the Jewish historian Josephus styles as three (or four) Judean "philosophies" (especially in War 2.119-166 and Antiquities 18.11-25, produced in the 70s and 90s CE).
In more than one passage, Josephus speaks of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. In one of them he tacks on the so-called "fourth philosophy," a violent group stemming, Josephus' claims, from the tax-related rebellion (c. 6 CE) associated with Judas of Galilee and including, in his view, the sicarii assassins of the mid-first century. The difficulty is that Josephus' account of each of these groups is brief and sketchy, and he has certain axes to grind. It is from Josephus, for instance, that we hear some reliable information that the Pharisees were concerned with the exact interpretation of the law and that they believed in some form of future resurrection ("immortality of the soul"), while the Sadducees did not believe in such a resurrection (War 2.162). Josephus doesn't hesitate to make value judgements in his descriptions, though. Thus he says that the Pharisees are friendly and nice to the public while the Sadducees treat one another badly and treat outsiders worse (War 2.162).
Our other sources for the groups mentioned by Josephus are likewise not unbiased. One could say that the gospels, especially Matthew, reverse the bias regarding Pharisees in that this Jewish author of Matthew would not feel bad if readers (or hearers) of his writing came away with the notion that "Pharisees" and "hypocrites" were synonyms (see Matthew 23). So we lack clear and detailed information concerning these groups. Discoveries such as the scrolls found on the edge of the Dead Sea since the 1940s may expand our picture of at least one of the groups that Josephus discusses, but the identification of the Dead Sea community as Essenes is uncertain (see Pliny the Elder's description of the Essenes on the Dead Sea coast in his Natural History, 5.15.17). So our information is meager for even these best known groups, let alone the many other movements that were active in the first century.
Rather than go into the details of what Josephus says about each, what I want to emphasize here is that the ones he mentions in these substantial passages were by no means the only groups. In fact, it seems that Josephus has in mind only the more educated classes in his discussion (hence his use of the designation "philosophies" for his Greek-speaking audience). All four of these groups consisted primarily of the literate, probably less than ten percent of the population at the time. In fact, Josephus explicitly states that the Essenes numbered only in the thousands (he says four thousand in Ant. 18.1.5 [20]), and it is likely that each of the other three were likewise in the thousands at most. So what about the remaining population of Judea, Samaria, and Galilee, which would have been into the millions?
Once again, Josephus happens to give us hints in his incidental stories of this or that prophet or "king" (messiah), though he tends not to like these other popular movements within Judea, Samaria, or Galilee. He gathers together a number of cases in just one time period alone, in a collection of what he calls a sampling of "ten thousand disorders" (Antiquities 17.269-285). One example from another period will suffice here, this one involving a prophetic figure named Theudas who gained a following in the 40s CE:
Now it came to pass, while Fadus was procurator of Judea, that a certain magician, whose name was Theudas, persuaded a great part of the people to take their effects with them, and follow him to the river Jordan. For he told them he was a prophet, and that he would, by his own command, divide the river, and afford them an easy passage over it; and many were deluded by his words. However, Fadus did not permit them to make any advantage of his wild attempt, but sent a troop of horsemen out against them; who, falling upon them unexpectedly, slew many of them, and took many of them alive. They also took Theudas alive, and cut off his head, and carried it to Jerusalem. This was what befell the Jews in the time of Cuspius Fadus's government (Antiquities 20.97; trans. by William Whiston).
The Jesus-movement (what we now call "early Christianity") should be understood, in part, within the context of many popular and not-so-popular Jewish movements and sects in the first century. We need to remember that this was a movement within Judaism, not a separate religion.
In writing this post, my memory was refreshed by Lester L. Grabbe, Judaism from Cyrus to Hadrian. Volume Two: The Roman Period (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1992), especially pp. 463-554.

10 more hours until "The Rookie" premieres!
The body cam footage is giving me a headache.
DisLiss and Mizzoufan like this.
I watched it twice yesterday - I really enjoyed it. It's not earth shattering, but of course, I enjoyed seeing Nathan on my TV again. I liked the cast, loved that the characters are really different. Like I said, the show isn't that original, but I was entertained for the hour.
trip, DisLiss and Caskett616 like this.
I really liked it too. Except for the bouncy body cam footage. That's a unique perspective, but it was sure hard to watch.
I really wanted to like this show but I was disappointed. Hated that they made the Chief such a hater, he should be encouraging his rookies and his officers. Don't know the characters names but the one training officer is such a negative stereotype, how did he survive that direct hit, at the very least it should have kept him off duty for at least a month. Plus lets throw in a love affair between the two rookies because that's never been done before. I guess I was expecting an upbeat police show, showing rookies learning to do their jobs, making some mistakes but learning. It was depressing on many levels, going to give it another week because sometime they make changes after the pilot is shot and there's a whole lot of room for improvement.
Ugh! I forgot to record it! I'll watch it (hopefully) online tomorrow.
So far so good!!! minus the body footage cameras agh that makes me sick to my stomach.
I thought it was OK, but not great. A lot of cliche story lines. But I'll watch a few more episodes.
The whole time I was watching, I thought the actors that played Jackson (the legacy boot) and the Captain seemed familiar. So I looked them up on IMDB, and it turns out they both were on Castle: Titus Makin Jr. (Jackson) played Tim Cabot on "Secret Santa", and Mercedes Mason played Marina Casillas on "He's Dead, She's Dead"!
sailorstitch and Caskett616 like this.
And Richard T. Jones was also in Santa Clarita Diet (as was NF).
We DVR'd it because we weren't able to watch it when it aired. After reading this thread, I was a little bit worried. I thought it was decent. I don't like it (at least not yet) like I liked Castle, but I'll give it a few more episodes at least. Hopefully it will find a good stride. And I was REALLY worried about the body cam footage after reading here, but I thought they used it in small enough bursts that it didn't really bother me.
That's right! I never watched that - but I noticed that when I looked at his credits.
I don't think I will ever like this as much as Castle, but it is an enjoyable hour of TV, and so far, that's enough for me. I felt the same way about the body cam footage. I especially liked it when Nolan was "testing" it.
Caskett616 and sailorstitch like this.
I liked it, I think I just like anything NF is in though.
Eric Winter (the jerk training officer with the drug addict wife) was on Days of Our Lives a loooong time ago, and it's kind of fun to see him on this show. Trying to decide how much of an actual "bad guy" his character will be vs. whether or not he's just being a difficult TO, since they revealed that about his wife, and after getting shot.
I just wanted to yell at the chief to stop being mean Give him a chance, man!!
Watched it, and we're in for now. Also a NF fan, nice to see him looking good and healthy. They're going a little overboard in making him the Best Rookie Ever! But hopefully he gets to mess up a bit.
ABC is repeating it tomorrow at 10PM EST. It will air in Castle's old spot!
I finally watched it last night, and thought it was just "meh". Formulaic cop show. I'll stick with it for a few weeks, see if it grows on me. I already ditched "A Million Little Things"--stupid and trying too hard for the feels.

With great regret Billericay Town Council announces the closing of the wooden ramp in the Lake Meadows skate park. The second ramp (the Rhino ramp) will remain open.
Whilst it is popular with young people the wooden ramp has suffered from vandalism in recent years and expert advice suggests it is no longer worth spending money repairing. The wooden ramp has required increasing repairs as it has got older. The combined cost of maintenance plus the damage from vandalism over the last 3 years amounted to £18,000. This includes £800 spent last month to repair damage caused by vandals in time for the summer holidays. Unfortunately no sooner than this was repaired vandals struck again and this latest damage would have seen the bill rise to £20,000. Sadly after a lengthy debate we saw no affordable alternative other than closure.
The wooden ramp has been closed, fenced off and warning signs posted and we are obtaining quotes for its removal. Please do not allow your children to use the wooden ramp in the meantime.
We appreciate that this ramp is well-loved and whilst replacements are expensive future consideration will be given to providing a facility resistant to the destructive damage of vandalism, which will require investigating funding opportunities and other skate park schemes.
Moira Moore, Chairman of the Town Council's Environment Committee which has responsibility for the skatepark said "We know that the young people who use the ramp are not responsible for the vandalism and it is such a shame to see the ramp close. However, we hope that a replacement can be built at some point".

Northern fulmars are seabirds which feed exclusively at sea, and as such, they are useful indicators of ocean health. Marine plastic pollution is an ever-increasing and global issue that affects the northern fulmar as they are frequently found to have ingested plastic. In this report we investigate whether the amount of ingested plastic affects the concentration of certain plastic-adsorbed toxicants in their tissues. Marine plastic pollution is a field of utmost importance. It is our hope that this continues to be an area which receives increased attention in order to elucidate the potential harmful effects plastics have on the northern fulmar and ocean health, in general.

At the inaugural Code Conference in California, CEO Satya Nadella has revealed that Microsoft's real-time speech translation technology will finally make the jump from the mystical, bottomless pit of its R&D department to a consumer product: Skype. On stage at the conference, Nadella demoed a beta version of Skype Translator, which performed real-time translation of English to German speech, and vice versa. Skype Translator isn't perfect, but it's tantalizingly close to the creation of a Star Trek-like universal translator — or Babel fish if you prefer — that allows everyone in the world to communicate, even if they don't share a common language.


Those of us living in areas with four seasons can feel a little spoiled when autumn comes around. Taking pictures during the fall can feel like cheating. Not only are there an abundance of colors, but there is also amazing light. It can seem hard to take a bad picture with Mother Nature seemingly on your side. When captured right, autumn can create images that are the envy of everyone. However, that does not mean you should get lazy and complacent. Fall is a great time to take portraits, but sometimes creating unique photos can be challenging. Here are a few tips to make the most out of your fall photo shoot!
The location should be one of the first things you think about for your photo shoots. This is especially true for autumn when things can change rather quickly. Leaves can change over a couple of days and it can be hard to find your perfect autumn colors if you wait too late or go out too early. Heavy winds or frost can take them down overnight, so while one day may be perfect, the next could not. Scout out your location close to your photo shoot date. Don't let a whole week pass between your scouting trip. Time is of the essence and you don't want to be left with a bare skeletal arrangement if you wait too long. Some sections of parks can even close down for the winter. Plus, the weather can be pretty fickle at this time of year. A perfectly sunny day can turn into a torrential rainstorm in a matter of hours. The Weather Channel is your friend. They even have this nifty regional guide that lets you know what phase the leaves are in.
When looking for a spot, find one that screams fall! If you live in an area with a lot of trees, go for a drive and search for the perfect spot. Apple orchards are great go-to locations. If you have children, they will love climbing the trees! You can also have them go under the trees, between rows, and even have a quick snack if you get hungry. Another amazingly-autumn option is a pumpkin patch with plenty of pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, and wagons. Bear in mind that sometimes you have to pay for the use of a farm for professional photos. However, most of the time simply asking ahead will suffice.
For any shoot, the key is to be prepared. It's a no-brainer that you should come with your camera equipment charged, with cards, and clean gear, but that can be overlooked. Clearing cards can be stressful, so make sure you have plenty of backups. If your card still has optimal space on it, don't clear it off unless you absolutely have to. If you are clearing your cards, use the Format function (in the camera) that will give you a completely clear card. There are rumors that deleting single images in-camera can lead to corrupting the card, so it's best to use the Format function.
Part of being prepared is knowing the perfect time to shoot. Hands-down sunrise and sunset give the best light. If you don't want to drag yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn, aim to start shooting about an hour before sunset. The Golden Hour is favored by many because the light is more flattering and you may even get a great sunset. Look for sunset times in your area. The days start to get shorter in autumn and you'll want at least an hour of shooting before the sun goes down.
It may seem obvious, but it is important that your clients know to dress for the weather. However, you may have a tough time convincing them that a sweater is a good wardrobe choice for a shoot. While it may be warm one afternoon, it can get cold pretty quickly once the sun starts to go down. Explain how important body language is and how difficult it is to nail a shot when they're shivering. Avoid clothing with dominant logos. As much as everyone loves Star Wars, this can date an image and be very distracting. The best wardrobe is neutral and basic, so it doesn't fight for attention with your awesome fall backdrop and the expressions of the people in the photo. Try to avoid clashing colors among your subjects and maybe come up with a color theme. Have everyone bring a few changes of clothes with them. Not only will this provide variety in your image, but when conditions can be wet and muddy, especially if you have children, you may need them.
With so many seasonal props available, use them to your advantage. Warm quilts, coffee mugs, hay bales, stacks of wheat, mums, and even campfires are all synonymous with fall. Plus, most of these items can be found at your local farmers market, borrowed from a family member or friend, found at yard sales, or bought from thrift stores. Pumpkins are also standard fall props. Gather up a bunch and set them around your subjects or place them in a wagon with kids. If you're taking pictures with a baby, try cleaning out a pumpkin and placing the child inside. Another, possibly too obvious, idea is using leaves. Rake up a huge pile of leaves and ask the children to jump in them or lay in the center of the pile. Try to get up high above the subject and shoot down. You can also have kids and adults throw leaves in the air. Just make sure your camera is set on continuous shooting to capture as much of the action as possible.

The effect of prophylactic ankle support during simulated soccer activity.
Forbes H1, Thrussell S, Haycock N, Lohkamp M, White M.
Dept of Sport, Health and Exercise Science, University of Hull, Kingston upon Hull, UK.
Ankle injuries are common in soccer and may result in ongoing functional deficiency. Ankle-joint prophylactic support is hypothesized to reduce the risk of injury. Analysis of the effects of prophylactic support has so far lacked application to soccer. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to illustrate the effects of tape and brace on selected proprioceptive components and range of motion (ROM) before, after, and during a soccer-match-simulation protocol.
A crossover study design was used to investigate plantarflexion (PF) ROM, inversion (INV) ROM, and joint-position sense (weight bearing and non-weight-bearing [NWBJPS]; ± error) in tape, brace, and control conditions. Measures were gathered from the dominant leg in a biomechanics laboratory at 0, 15, 30, and 45 min of a soccer-specific aerobic field test 90-min (SAFT90) protocol.
Eight healthy male subjects (age 20.5 ± 0.5 y) experienced the 3 conditions in random order with 7 d between conditions.
The tape condition used an open basket-weave technique; the brace was an AirCast AirSport brace. For the control condition no prophylactic support was applied.
Application of prophylactic support significantly decreased active ROM in PF and INV (P < .05), with tape performing better than the brace (0 min). Tape lost its restrictive benefits by 15 min (P < .001) and was no different than control, while the brace maintained some effect until 45 min. Application of prophylactic support increased NWBJPS performance (P < .01; 0 min); by 15 min the tape had lost its proprioceptive benefit (P < .01) compared with the brace.
Our findings suggest that the clinical usefulness of ankle-joint prophylactic support is limited if the aim is to restrict ROM and improve proprioceptive capability under soccer-specific conditions. The relative benefits of each type of support need to be considered in the context of the time-specific nature of the activity.

Review: "Born To Bleed" by Ryan C. Thomas
by Craig Wade	,	July 15, 2015
Excellent Storytelling
Characters Were Well-Developed
A Variety of Genres Explored
This is a must-read sequel to the excellent book, "The Summer I Died".
When I read The Summer I Died, I was shocked by author Ryan C. Thomas's ability to completely annihilate the lines of human decency while still remaining relatable. It was as if it were written by an author that was equal parts pop culture junkie and raving maniac. Despite the fact that I enjoyed this book immensely, I will be the first to admit that the devil was in the details and the plot was a bit light. So when I recently read Born to Bleed, the sequel to The Summer I Died, I was expecting that this novel would employ a similar style, but what I got was so much more.
This book picks up roughly a decade after the events that unfolded in The Summer I Died. Though Roger Huntington has grown up, moved to California, and is living out a semi-successful career as an artist, he remains psychologically broken by the events in the first book and haunted by memories of his dead best friend, Tooth, and the evil Skinny Man that subjected them both to unimaginable cruelty. He often sees manifestations of these two characters from his past and they help guide him on his way to save his dream girl from being kidnapped and subjected to unspeakable horrors.
At roughly 200 pages, this book was a relatively quick read, but still a gripping experience. Thomas made it clear during the middle of the book that every single expectation should be thrown out the window to clear a path for this multi-genre action-packed thrill ride. Almost every time that I expected something to happen, the story took a road less traveled. Even after the denouement, he managed to subvert my expectations and pave the way for a completely new adventure.
I've allowed this story to digest in my brain for the past week and the only negative thing that I have to say about this is that I am afraid that some of the readers might be turned off by the gratuitous nature of the first book and write off the entire series. But in any event, that is a problem that some readers may have, not a problem with the story itself.
Ryan C. Thomas has been around for a while but after reading Born to Bleed, he has grabbed my attention and I plan on reading his tales as long as he plans on releasing them.
If you would like to hear a more in-depth review of Born to Bleed and an interview with Ryan C. Thomas, please tune into Episode 23 of B-Movies and E-Books!

We thought it is about time we offered a structured cookery demo so instead of a dinner event in February we are offering a very special lunch preceded by a live cookery demo.
We will have just four spaces and Hari will demonstrate a full three course menu that you will all sit down to eat. It is a great way to learn some new techniques and tips and Hari will be more than happy to answer any questions along the way.
If time allows Hari will also demonstrate his Beer Bread and the demo will also show how to bone a whole chicken and the process of making a red wine stock. He will endeavour do everything from scratch (where possible) and will also demonstrate the presentation of the finished dishes. Attendees will also be provided with recipe sheets to take away so they can replicate at home.
This event will only go ahead if all four places are filled so why not get a group together and come and enjoy a live demo followed by a lunch.
To book your places please complete the form below and we will then confirm your booking with an online invoice for credit card payment to secure your places.
Well that date is fast approaching when couples habitually inhabit those tables of two's in a restaurant and look lovingly into each other's eyes across the dinner table!
You can tell I am a fan of this night of romantic love big time – Not!
It is generally hype to fill perhaps a quiet week night (a Tuesday this year) and dreaded by restaurants when it falls on a weekend night as they fill up in under capacity!
I have such strong memories of a "Valentine Night" in a restaurant I was working in when a couple came in for dinner who had obviously had a row and I think the guy was there under duress.
The waitress thought for moment and then giggled and said I can't tell them that… I said please try!
Some restaurants get all creative with overpriced pun induced menus using not in season produce – e.g. Asparagus, Strawberries etc or pink coloured foods! I even tried one year doing a Valentine themed dinner here for my Supperclub and found it a tortuous night so vowed never again!
I am much more in favour of seeing you all cooking something special at home and perhaps pushing the boat out with a meal lovingly prepared for a loved one. It makes much more a statement than splashing out on a substandard meal in a restaurant.
You will note I have provided links for all the recipes so why not give it a go and impress a loved one and cook them up this special treat… it will not break the bank and I am sure it will impress the other half!
Failing that why not come along later in the month for our February dinner event that we are calling "Game On" as we will be featuring assorted Game dishes from Venison to Guinea Fowl. You can book the dinners here on our dedicated ticketing site!
Far better than going out with all those other sad ones!!!
Well next in our series of covert cookery lessons we thought we would do something with a product oft maligned and feared by the cook.
with a classic butter sauce.
● Making a tart tatin.
Recipe Sheets and Hari Covert Apron will be included to take away at the end of the day.

The idea was to offer some basic culinary techniques to give the novice and nervous cooks a little more confidence and also some of our secrets. We have some now rather popular features on our menus and I am always keen to share them.
So we decided to hold some rather exclusive little lessons – how to bone a chicken and the making of a stock followed by using the jointed bird in a simple dish and the stock used to make a soup.
We also made our now somewhat infamous "Moodley's" Beer Bread and also our rather moreish porridge oat biscuits to go with a simple selection of cheeses.
What might seem simple for me proves challenging for others but the main thing I tried to do was to de-mystify it all and illustrate cooking is not hard!
What is most important beside the right ingredients is to put it simply just good organisation. So many cooks and chefs for that matter overcomplicate things so much that is when things can so easily wrong!
So our students got well into is with some basic knife skills…the cornerstone of any good cook is how they handle their tools of the trade and so many fail to learn this. Practice make perfect and learning these basics is vital.
There are plenty of others on the web so get surfing.
If you are looking to purchase some chef knives I can recommend the following site for a next day delivery.
You only need to purchase a few but it will be a great investment and remember to keep practising. I am just putting final touches to the next dates so watch this space!
This has been something we have been keen to do for sometime…so I thought we would take the plunge and see if we could set the ball in motion this side of Christmas.
I have decided to offer some rather exclusive cookery lessons that will I hope encourage the novice cooks out there to give it a go and also have some fun at the same time.
We will start at 9:30am and finish at circa 12:30pm when we will all sit down to a meal of what you have been busily preparing.
The idea is to give you an insight into some of the dishes we cook and serve at our Hari nights but also show you some tricks and tips to you budding cooks. It would ideally suit the novice cook but all are welcome as we will start with the basics.
● Boning a Chicken and preparing a stuffed breast ready to make into finished dish.
● Making a home-made soup with a fresh bread roll.
It will be a full "hands on" lesson and all recipes will be provided to take away with you.
There will be just three spaces each day and the price for this unique event will be £75 per person.
This could make an ideal Christmas gift for a loved one…?
We are also hoping to make these lessons a regular event and if you are interested in taking part then please just fill out the booking form below and tick the future dates box. We will then contact you to discuss further.
Well it is almost a year since we posted a favourite recipe of ours using that lovely new season veg… the humble Leek. Symbol of Wales and well a good all round versatile vegetable.
We were alerted to a recent competition calling for our favoured leek recipe so thought we would enter the Pressed Leek Terrine as ours… Have you got something better?
We feel our Leek Terrine is a great dish that can be adapted any number of ways and styles. Perfect for vegetarians or with the addition of other items can be quite exotic! Might just have to see what else we could come up with to use those lovely Leeks in again!!!
The recent dinner at the Olive Stores in Brenchley was a hit and the Beer Bread we served with the main course seemed to go down well.
Well now this will be the start of a few posts on the subject as we are planning some upcoming events that will feature the "Nectar of Gods" as some like to call it… I have been experimenting today as I found a rather simple recipe on the net for a bread incorporating Beer!
I was recently having a look round a Kentish Brewery by the name of Moodley's – based on a farm near to Penshurst they are a micro (small) brewery that produce a range of bottle conditioned ales. More about them on some later posts but suffice to say I had a bottle of each of their current beers to try. I had a bit of their Toad Bitter left so thought I would try the following recipe!
It was a very simple one and I have to say the end result was a big hit.
Mixed together as a batter and poured into a very well-greased bread tin produced one rather crusty sweet and yeast smelling loaf with a good crust after 45 minutes baking!
Well it seems to be a bit of a talking point these days with my special porridge biscuits that I always serve with cheeses. They have become something of a signature dish but I cannot claim to have invented them but adapted from a similar style of biscuit that I saw at a friends Michelin starred restaurant in Manchester a few years ago.
I thought I would share the recipe as it is suprisingly very simple and just needs to be made a bit in advance.
You will need some baking sheets covered with baking parchment as basically you make a normal batch of porridge made with milk… I normally use fresh semi skimmed milk and once cooked I then throw in a generous handful of sea salt (sel de guerande) mixed with some ground freshly roasted szechaun peppercorns. This salt and pepper mix once mixed in produces a nice salty and fragrant flavour.
I pour the porridge out onto the baking parchment and then using a palette knife spread it as thinly as possible onto the parchment and if you have time leave it to cool and dry naturally for a shortwhile then do so.
If pushed for time then place the trays straight into a preheated oven 120 to 150 degrees centigrade for 40-50 minutes. Check them after twenty or so minutes as if beginning to harden you can then remove the biscuit sheet from the parchment and turn to aid the drying process. They need to turn a light golden colour and to be totally dry and once they have reached this stage just leave them to cool before breaking them into shards. Store in an airtight box until required, they will keep easily for a couple of weeks if fully dried out.

Recently, Facebook held its 50th hackathon, a 24-hour Red Bull- and coffee-infused get-together where coders work on innovative applications or new features for existing products. These kind of events are legendary in Silicon Valley, of course; Facebook isn't the only company to conduct them. Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and just about every open-source organization on the planet has been holding hackathons for years.
Why do companies embrace hackathons as a way to help techies develop product ideas but resist the idea of creative people getting together to do something similar to develop content ideas? One explanation could be that companies value hackathons for the output: the code that gets generated. But that can't be the whole reason. Even at Facebook, where some of the code produced by the hundreds of participants eventually makes its way into the product, the majority of hackathon code never gets used.
The content is all in one repository, enabling a level of creativity that's impossible in companies that silo off the content between teams. Over the course of many create-a-thons, we've raised the bar for the value of the stories we publish, and that bar will keep getting higher.
Imagine the business impact of raising the bar for what your company publishes.
To clarify, I'm not talking about opening up access to the enterprise's live content. I'm suggesting holding events that give people access to that content in a sandbox environment where they can play together without fear of messing anything up and can see what possibilities emerge.
I recently cajoled a client into holding just such a create-a-thon. Even though this was a software company, getting approval was surprisingly hard. It's funny – the prospect of a bunch of employees taking time off to play, laugh, and generally goof around makes executives fidgety.
The kind of create-a-thon I'm talking about differs from a hackathon in some ways. Coding (and perhaps writing, too) is best done in isolation, with headphones on. While there is conversation at hackathons, they can be very quiet affairs. Our create-a-thon was not focused on the act of writing. It was distinctly unquiet. Writing certainly occurred, but the participants were all about collaborating on stories that would create value.
Like a hackathon, though, our create-a-thon had a mission. Our mission was for cross-functional teams to examine the current corpus of (in this case) marketing and customer-service content to hack innovative, creative, differentiating stories that could be fused, teased apart, or smashed to smithereens and created anew.
As I love to do, we used John Cleese's creative framework to structure the event.
Space: We decided to hold the meeting offsite where there would be no work distractions.
Time: Our session would last 18 hours; we did not want to go all night. We allowed for one full day, an evening of recreation, and a short time on Day 2.
Time (again): Cleese's framework addresses time twice. The second aspect of time has to do with "giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something original" – time to ponder, to wonder, to tolerate the discomfort of indecision. Ultimately, decisions must be made, but creativity can't be rushed. This is why we gave ourselves a second day: to let ideas bake overnight.
Confidence: We agreed that nothing was off limits. Brand promises, budgets, politics, rules, governance, existing content – everything was on the table. There would be no such things as dumb questions, dumb ideas, or mistakes.
Humor: As Cleese says, nothing gets you from a closed mind to an open mind ("from the closed mode to the open mode") faster than humor. We set out to encourage laughter. Nothing about our mission was sacred or overly serious.
Was our create-a-thon a success? Perhaps not – if you define success in terms of usable output. But output wasn't the point. We did succeed in generating ideas that participants were excited about. Some ideas had to do with improving customer service content. Other ideas may result in innovative content marketing initiatives and marketing campaigns.
Here were our hopes: foster de-siloed ideation experiences; develop the team's creative muscle; and, yes, enable the team to emerge with one or more innovative solutions that could, in the words of a product manager, "ship to the customer." That client is on track to see all those hopes fulfilled. Even if not every hope is fulfilled, those 18 hours were energizing and, I'd argue, deeply productive.
To put that time commitment into perspective, if you held an 18-hour create-a-thon once per quarter, you'd siphon off about 3% of participants' working hours.
Yeah, you can afford it. I recommend it.
What a great idea. I'm going to SO steal that (with well-hidden attribution of course).
Any tips from the one you ran?
Why didn't it result in usable content?
We scoped an 'Extreme' Content Marketing' workshop years ago but never did it. The idea was to get a writer, designer, coder, planner, client, account person and chef in a room for two days and to actually publish stuff.
We kind of chickened out on it but your post makes me regret that.
Happy to give you the full agenda and walk you through it…. Let's talk!!
Code is still considered an asset.
Things are changing, and "classic" marketers are slowly starting to see refined concepts as money-making elements. But until there's a huge shift and entire departments agree on the value of a well-told story, the create-a-thon will be a hard sell.
Thankfully though, that big shift is coming, if it's not already underway.
Good post. I know a few visionaries who will love having this one in their pocket for those dreaded stakeholder meetings.

Serbian police intervene to protect gay pride parade
September 16, 2019 — 7.20am
Belgrade: Police in Serbia briefly clashed with far-right supporters who tried to prevent a gay pride parade attended by the country's openly gay Prime Minister on Sunday.

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and her partner joined several hundred activists in the annual march through downtown Belgrade. The centre of the capital was sealed off by police during the event.
Hours before the march, around 150 far-right supporters gathered in protest. Some held Orthodox Christian banners and crosses and sang religious songs, and some were dressed as Orthodox monks.
At least five protesters were taken away by police after they refused to move from the route of the march that ended without any major incident.
Brnabic is the first openly gay prime minister in the traditionally conservative Balkan state.

"Today we are sending a message of tolerance which has to be preserved in Serbia," Brnabic said. "I think we are heading in the right direction."
Brnabic, however, is unpopular with some in the gay community who say she has done little to promote their rights since she came to power in 2017.
A banner reading "Prime Minister, how is it living with all those privileges?" greeted her as she joined the march.

The first pride parade in Belgrade was organised in 2001 and participants were attacked by hooligans and ultranationalist groups. Since 2014, the marches have occurred without major incidents.

"We did it last year. And I think it's going to be a yearly tradition that the Chicago Police Department will come out and work with the Salvation Army in an attempt to raise donations. We'll do it for about an hour. Just in terms of doing our part to try and let people know that this is the time of year we should think about people less fortunate," said Supt. Jody Weis, Chicago Police Dept.
The Salvation Army hopes to raise $12 million through its Red Kettle Campaign.


The Licensure Qualifying Program, approved by the New your State Education Department in 2015, is open to those who have postgraduate degrees in any field other than mental health. A basic foundation in diagnosis, assessment theory and technique is provided in addition to the same curriculum and training requirements of the Certificate Training Program in Psychoanalysis. Upon completion of the program candidates can apply for New York State licensure to be a licensed psychoanalyst.
In the first and second year, classes are held on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm and 8:30 pm to 9:45 pm, Tuesday evenings from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm and Thursdays evening from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm. In the third year courses meet on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm and 8:30 pm to 9:45 pm and Thursdays evening from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Courses in the last two years meet on Monday and Thursday evenings from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm.
This course is designed to provide an introduction to psychoanalytic theory in general, and to Karen Horney's theory in particular, and to help students become aware of unconscious dynamics and character structure. Lectures and clinical workshops are employed.
This course focuses on the understanding and use of the dreams in the analytic hour. Dreams reflect the patient's psychic world, different stages of the therapeutic process, and mirror a variety of clinical issues. Through readings and clinical material, students will explore Freudian, Horneyan and contemporary dream theory. Specific attention will address how latent dream thoughts and wishes are converted into manifest content. Extensive clinical material illustrates the concepts.
This course covers some of the main ideas found in Karen Horney's last book, Neurosis and Human Growth. Clinical material is used for discussion and illustration.
This course will cover contemporary relational theory beginning with the cultural and intellectual context, the work of Ferenczi, Rank and Sullivan that served as the theoretical foundation for the development of Stolorow and Atwood's concept of intersubjectivity, Ogden's notion of the analytic third, and Bromberg's shift from repression to disassociation and multiple self-states. The psychoanalytic encounter will also be explored from the standpoint of Aron's clinical application of Benjamin's concept of intersubjectivity; the issue of interpretation; the fate of transference and countertransference in relational thinking; mutuality and authenticity. The controversial issue of self-disclosure will be highlighted with a comparative discussion of a paper on self-disclosure by from a con-temporary Freudian and Relational point of view.
Candidates also need to do two screening interviews, under supervision, during the first three years of the program and two during the last two years of training. A minimum of four case conference presentations is also required.
Candidates in the Licensure Qualifying Program in Psychoanalysis see their patients in the Karen Horney Clinic for the duration of their training, under the supervision of a licensed analyst who remains responsible for the patient's assessment, evaluation and treatment. The patient or the patient's representative must consent to treatment by a candidate enrolled in the psychoanalytic training program. The supervisor is responsible for determining if the cases seen under his/her supervision are appropriate for Candidates to fulfill the supervised analytic case requirements.
A postgraduate degree in any discipline other than medicine, psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing.
The deadline for submission of the application materials is June 1, 2019 for the program starting in September, 2019.

Is Competition Finally Impacting Netflix?
January 22, 2020 By Jeremy Jones, CFA
By Proxima Studio @ Shutterstock.com
Anna Nicolaou reports for the Financial Times that Netflix is blaming less-than-expected subscriber growth in the United States on increased competition and its higher prices. She writes:
Netflix added 8.8m subscribers in the final three months of 2019, eclipsing its guidance for 7.6m and analyst forecasts for 7.9m. This was welcome news for the first quarter that the streaming group competed head-on with Disney and Apple, which launched rival services in November.
However in the US, its largest market, Netflix added only 420,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter — below its guidance for 600,000 and well behind the 1.5m it added in the same period a year ago.
Netflix blamed the US weakness on price increases last year and new competition from rival streaming launches. The company also warned that this softening in its home market would weigh on results for the current quarter.
Netflix shares were little changed in after-hours trading.
As the entertainment industry looks to streaming as the future of its business, the largest media companies are battling for market share in this new landscape. Traditional media groups Disney, Comcast's NBCUniversal and AT&T's WarnerMedia are all launching their own streaming services, bringing new competition to the market that Netflix pioneered.
Investors are concerned about Netflix losing steam in America amid the sea of new streaming options.

Q: I burst out laughing
*

*I burst out laughing.

*I burst out laughs.

Burst out is used as a verb here, and why people say "laughing" instead of a noun laughs?
You burst out laughing? Not laughs? Like in you spoke words, not wording.

A: This is what I like about ELL: I get to perceive a very familiar thing from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with it.
The verb phrase burst out has a transitive and an intransitive usage.
Transitively (with a direct object) it means to suddenly display something.  The imagery is that the object in its container and you pull it out so quickly, you destroy (burst) the container.
This usage is quite casual so you almost always hear the more casual form of the verb, pronounced and spelled bust used.  So someone might say, "Time to bust out the big guns!", meaning to deploy some very effective tool.
Intransitively (without a direct object) it means to make a sudden sound:

"What are you doing?" he burst out angrily.

As an intransitive phrase, it cannot take an object, but it can take an adverbial, so I burst out laughing or I burst out crying.
