Setting the Scene: During World War I of 1914-1918, the Ottoman Empire, who had held Palestine for the past 400 years, entered the war on the side of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and they were defeated. The Ottomans had carried on Genocide on the Armenians and Assyrians. This had impacted northern Syria. In the middle of the war, 2 diplomats, the French Picot and the British Sykes, secretly agreed on the post-war division of the Ottoman Empire in 1916. For starters, they separated 2 territories by a border running a straight line from Jordan to Iran, but oil was discovered in Mosul just before the end of the war. Mosul lay in northern Iraq. "The city's fortunes revived with the discovery of oil in the area, from the late 1920s onward. It became a nexus for the movement of oil via truck and pipeline to both Turkey and Syria." Now France decided in 1918 to cede this region to Zone B or the British zone of influence. When Syria became a League of Nations mandate in 1920 this border was recognized. The French held the mandate over Syria and Lebanon. The British had Palestine.
At the same time in 1920, the independent Kingdom of Syria was established under Faisal I of the Hashemite family, the same family that had Trans-Jordan granted to them by the British out of the land to be the Jewish Homeland. Faisal had worked with Chaim Weizmann and had agreed to the idea of a Jewish Homeland, thinking he would get his fair share, too. After all, he and his men had fought with the British against the Ottoman Empire and helped them as much as the Jews and Chaim Weizmann had, he figured. Faisal wasn't as lucky as King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan, however, as his rule lasted only a few months. There was the Battle of Maysalun when the French troops occupied Syria later that year after the San Remo conference (see references below). That was when it was proposed that the League of Nations put Syria under a French mandate. That didn't stop Sultan al-Atrash in 1925 who led a revolt that was engulfing the whole of Syria and parts of Lebanon. He won several battles against the French who sent thousands of troops from Morocco and Senegal until 1927. The Sultan was sentenced to death but he escaped to Transjordan and was later pardoned. He returned to Syria in 1937 after signing the Syrian-French Treaty. Atassi then became the first president elected in September 1936, but the French refused to ratify it. Then France fell in 1940 during WWII, and Syria came under the control of Vichy France until the British occupied the country in July 1941. The French finally left in 1946 and Syria was again independent.
It was Chaim Weizmann and others who finally were able to see that the League of Nations passed the law of making Palestine the Jewish Homeland in 1921, and in the Balfour Doctrine of 1926 The British held the mandate over Palestine and were given the job of seeing to it that it became as such. However, suddenly the Arabs from Syria and elsewhere were coming in illegally and the count by the British was not being kept. The Arab population in "Palestine" had remained static for 200 years and now was suddenly increasing.
In the 1931 "Palestine" census, 23 different languages were reported in use by the Moslems, and most of those plus an additional 28 were in use by Arab Christians-and these plus 28 more were in use by Arab Christians entering Palestine. The non-Jews in Palestine in 1931 listed their birthplaces in 24 different countries in addition to the Americas and Europe. Just in Jerusalem, 20 different places of birth outside the Armericas and Europe were listed by the Moslems. those plus another 4 countries were listed by the Christian Arabs.
The Mandate Commission reported on August 12, 1934, from Tewfik Bey El-Hurani, governor of the Hauran, (Syrians) that in the last few months from 30,000 to 36,000 Hauranese had entered Palestine and settled there. Syrians from the Hauran district were admitted freely to "Palestine" without any passports or visas from the beginning of the British Mandate after WWI until the 1940's.p. 231 Some Syrians had gone back to Syria to avoid prosecution for violence in the riotsof 1936. The British looked away when they entered, and the fact that they managed to settle in the Jewish-settled portions of the country. One report said, "that more Arabs entered illegally and stayed in Palestine than the total number of Jews for twice that length of time in 1934 who were "approved" to immigrate into their designated "Jewish National Home." Yet the British report only said that 1934 recorded just 1,784 non-Jews with only about 3,000 as travelers remaining illegally, and those figures supposedly included Arab immigrants from all points into all of Palestine. False Reporting!! The Jews, however, had everything about them recorded; age groups, occupations, amount of capital brought in.
" Yet, illegal Jewish immigration was fastidiously reported."p. 226. Being it was to be the Jewish Homeland, I do not see how their entrance could be listed as illegal, but it was, whereas the immigrating Arabs were not listed as illegals. This showed up when Jews finally tried to enter Palestine through Trans Jordan. Arabs were coming in that way as well, "but the Arabs were not marked illegal until their detection had become flagrant."
The British Peel Commission report of 1937 said that developing the Jewish National Home had to depend on the rate and volume of Jewish immigration over many years. The Arabs were watching this immigration and were afraid of being overwhelmed and dominated by the Jewish immigrants. The British had not made any attempt to count how many Arabs had come into "Palestine" from neighboring Arab lands but they estimated that 9/10s of the growth was due to natural increase and was a growth of over 50% in 17 years. They realized the the Arab population during the Ottoman Empire of 400 years had remained quite stationary.
In 1938, at the height of the Germans' treatment of their Jewish population as horrific, with all sorts of rules and regulations against them, Palestine would have been the logical place for them to flee. They couldn't get in. At first the British blamed the improved health conditions brought by Jews that was extending Arabs' lives, brought on by the appropriation of tax-revenue contributed by the Jews. They were blaming the increased Arab population on the Jews for helping the indigenous Arabs already existing there.
There had been Arabs going to and from Trans-Jordan. The Peel report did mention that 4,866 "travellers" who entered Palestine during the year were registered as immigrants. Of these, 4,114 were Jews and 752 were non-Jews.
By 1939, at the height of German anti-Semitism, when the last ship with Jews left their shores for the USA, leaving many to die soon in the Holocaust, Churchill said, "So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population." Had the British considered the fact that Moslems could have up to 4 wives at the same time? The Arabs had been hurling out anti-Semitic propaganda, probably hot off the presses from Germany. The British then came out with their White Paper of 1939 halting Jewish immigration at the time they needed it the most. Neville Chamberlain made it clear that Britain would only allow 75,000 Jews to enter Palestine over the next 5 years from 1940 to 1944, the height of the Holocaust period. Even at that, only 10,000 each year would be allowed in, holding 25,000 spaces in abeyance. It was almost like they were helping Germany exterminate Jews.
In 1941, the Arab, Haj Amin al Husseini (1897-1974), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from 1921 to 1948, visited with Hitler in Germany in a meeting of exterminating Jews, thus ending their chances of creating the Jewish Homeland. He was also on the side of the King Faisal, Hashemite ruler of Syria. Perhaps that's why his rule ended after a few months. Husseini was the opposite of Faisal, and was totally against Faisal making any agreements with Jews.
Britain left the country when their mandate was up in May 1948, probably glad to get out of there as they felt the Arabs would slaughter the Jews. David Ben Gurion addressed the world with the voting in the United Nations which said yes to their becoming a state, and minutes later they were attacked by all their Arab neighbors. The miracle of all miracle happened. They were able to hear the League of Nations and the new United Nations vote them in as a state, and they won their first of many battles against their Arab neighbors who disagreed with the majority vote.
When asked who they were, the Arabs would say they were Syrian Arabs. They never said they were Palestinian Arabs until many wars later in 1967, when they again lost that very serious battle of the Six Day War. Now the leaders of other Arab nations nudged them to want their own state, after being offered the opportunity since 1947 and many times thereafter, always with the answer of no! Their leaders were holding out for taking all of Israel.
Malcolm MacDonald, British secretary of State in 1938 said of the over one million Arabs in Palestine, "The Arabs cannot say that the Jews are driving them out of their country. If not a single Jew had come to Palestine after 1918, I believe that the Arab population of Palestine today would still have been around about the same figure at which it had been stable under the Turkish rule.
In 1934, 42,359 Jews were registered, 1,494 Christians and 290 Muslims.
In 1938, Britain registered 12,868 Jewish immigrants, 473 Christians and 1,922 Moslems making a total of 15,263.
In 1939 they registered 16,405 Jewish immigrants, 376 Christians and 1,652 Moslems.
In 1940, when Jews could not get out of Germany, 4,547 Jews, 390 Christians and 674 Moslems were registered. . That's what they showed on the books, but it wasn't the reality at all. Moslems were getting in illegally without being registered. 1934 was a good example where they only showed 1,784 non Jews entering when they had already listed the 30,000 to 35,000 Hauranis (Syrians) who immigrated to Western Palestine that weren't included in the British calculations. No wonder so many Arabs, when asked, said they were Syrian Arabs. They really were! They were not native Palestinians.
It was learned here today that the Transjordan Government has prohibited entrance of Hauranis Syrians). The action is believed to have been taken in accordance with desires of the Palestine Government, which reportedly has instructed its police to detain all vagrant Hauranis and hold them for trial as illegal immigrants unless they returned voluntarily to their country.
Ten thousand Hauranis are preparing to migrate to Palestine, confident of securing employment there and encouraged by stories of affluence among their fellows who have been there for some time, it is reported here. The thirty to forty thousand Hauranis now working in Palestine have sent home to their distressed families sums aggregating £100,000, it is estimated in economic circles in Syria.
The thoughts of local peasantry are turning more and more to Palestine, what with the economic stress, the widespread agricultural slump, and the plan of French authorities to settle Assyrian refugees from Irad here. This latter move has aroused great indignation locally, and there have been protest meetings and protest memoranda sumbitted. At Aleppo and other places parties of Assyrian refugees have been attacked.
The Hauran area is south of Damascus. Historically a border region, marking the edge of Rome's eastern empire, the Hauran has played an important role throughout history. Bosra, with its ruins that stretch back to Nabatean times and its massive Roman theatre, is an obvious highlight, but among the other small towns there are more historical gems to be found. Shahba (ancient Philippopolis) was the birthplace of Philip the Arab, the local boy who rose to Roman emperor. Suweida has a small but stunning mosaic museum and Ezraa's church lays claim to be the resting place of St George. Most of the Hauran is within easy reach of Damascus, making exploring the sights here perfect for day trips from the city. Evidently this must be where the Hauranis (Syrians) came from that Tewfik Bey El-Hurani was governor.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas is facing criticism from Palestinian refugees for saying that he does not want to "flood" Israel with millions of refugees. Dr. Esam Udwan, an expert on refugee affairs, said, "Who said that there are only five million refugees? The real number is eight million. Abbas mentioned the five million who are registered with UNRWA and benefit from its services. But there are millions of others who do not receive services from UNRWA and are not registered with it. This does not mean that they should be denied the right of return." This is their demand-to flood Israel with Arabs in order to destroy it as the Jewish Homeland.
Article 6 of the Mandate, charged Britain with the duty to facilitate Jewish immigration and close settlement by Jews in the territory which then included Transjordan, as called for in the Balfour declaration, that had already been adopted by the other Allied Powers. As a trustee, Britain had a fiduciary duty to act in good faith in carrying out the duties imposed by the Mandate.
Furthermore, as the San Remo resolution has never been abrogated, it was and continues to be legally binding between the several parties who signed it.
It is therefore obvious that the legitimacy of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and the Jewish state all derive from the same international agreement at San Remo.

About The Witch Elm
Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who's dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead.
At a bar one night, his working-class friend corrects him, arguing that Toby is simply lucky. Toby's luck runs out later that night when he returns home to find burglars in his apartment. The burglars viciously beat Toby nearly to death, and he suffers brain damage as a result of the attack.
"Exquisitely suspenseful." "Tana French's The Witch Elm is a chilling mystery about the unreliability of memory." "You savor the details—the delicious portrayal of crisp fall weather in Ireland—as you race through the pages. . . .
Hugo dies with the family around him. Toby returns to Ivy House. He blames himself for Hugo's death—if he hadn't told him the whole story, Hugo wouldn't have confessed. There's a funeral and Hugo is cremated.
Indeed the 'wych' in wych elm refers to its wood being pliant, and not to witches, who were said to shun elm trees. This characteristic made the wood largely unsuitable as a building material, nor does it make a good fuel. However, like alder wood, elm wood withstands wet conditions very well.

Wych elm (Ulmus glabra) is a relatively scarce deciduous tree which supports abundant insect life in the forest, but is at risk due to the spread of Dutch elm disease. Distribution.
Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group
Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Elm in the Ulmus genus has been reported as a sensitizer. Usually most common reactions simply include eye and skin irritation. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information.
Shortly after, Van Ralt strangled the woman, allegedly because of her spy associations. Another version of this story claims that Jack Mossop and Van Ralt had been drinking with "Bella" in a local pub when she became drunk and passed out. The two men then placed the woman in the tree to teach her a lesson.
Wych elm is rarely found as a tree, but is more common as a hedgerow shrub. This is a likely result of the ravaging effects of a recent wave of Dutch elm disease which has affected all of the UK's elms, killing many mature trees and preventing new trees from growing.
The American elm, the indigenous species, was killed off in huge numbers between the late '60s and early '80s. Today, there's only 3,810 American elms left according to Denver's tree inventory.
As a result of Dutch elm disease, wych elm is now rare. It usually grows in hilly or rocky woodlands, or beside streams and ditches. It is hardier than the English elm, so is found much further north and west, and in parts of Scotland.
Wych Elm leaves are alternate, oval to elliptic and have a long pointed tip. The base of the blade is unequal. The dark green leaves have toothed edges and hairs on both sides. The upper surface of the leaves feels like fine sandpaper.

The Minnesota Miracle That Lasted a Moment?

Super Bowl Advertising: A Super Media Buy?
By Duets Guest Blogger on February 6, 2010
Posted in Advertising, Branding, Guest Bloggers, Marketing, Television
The Super Bowl is much more than a football game to determine a champion; it is a cultural phenomenon. One of the most important elements of Super Bowl Sunday isn't the on the field action; it is the commercials on television during the breaks in the action. For companies that want to advertise during the game, it is quite costly to partake in this action. A 30 second spot during Super Bowl XLIV will cost $2.5-2.8 million. That figure only includes paying the television network for the time. It doesn't include costs to produce the ad. The final cost for a 30 second Super Bowl ad could easily run $4 million +. With this in mind, there's one glaring question. Is Super Bowl advertising worth the cost?
The answer to this question isn't a simple and definitive yes or no. Advertising during the Super Bowl can raise brand awareness. It also can be used simply to remind a target market of the importance of a brand within a product category. Using an ad in this manner would reinforce existing brand beliefs and hopefully induce a desire to purchase. However, a Super Bowl advertisement can affect a company negatively if not executed correctly. The effectiveness of Super Bowl advertising depends on the perspective of the advertiser, a brand's strategic objectives and other marketing mix elements.
One of the appealing elements of advertising during the Super Bowl is the fact that it consistently draws a significant audience. More than 90 million people in the United States have watched each of the last 4 Super Bowls. Every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXVII in January 1993 has drawn at least 80 million viewers. This is noteworthy because television audiences have become far more fragmented over time. The proliferation of television networks with cable/satellite TV, video entertainment options such as video games and DVDs and the vast array of Internet content have been the primary causes of audience fragmentation. The Super Bowl has been one of the few television programs that has been relatively unscathed by audience fragmentation. As a result, the network broadcasting the game (CBS this year) can charge premium pricing for advertising.…

Oxygen deprivation occurs when babies don't get enough oxygen to the brain during or after birth, which can lead to serious injuries.
Though it is something we hope we never have to encounter when delivering a baby, birth injuries are always a possibility. It is always a good idea to be informed about these potential complications so that you are prepared just in case something goes wrong. Oxygen deprivation, also known as birth asphyxia, occurs when the baby doesn't get enough oxygen to the brain during or after birth. Here is what you need to know about oxygen deprivation in relation to birth injuries.
There are several different reasons why oxygen deprivation may occur during the labor and delivery process. Some of these causes include placental problems, shoulder dystocia, fetal distress, and/or contractions that are too close together. It is important that the doctors and nurses are always alert for signs of oxygen deprivation so that they can pinpoint the cause and act quickly. Prolonged oxygen deprivation can lead to serious, permanent injuries.
Whether or not an injury results and the severity of the injury depends on how long the brain was deprived of oxygen. A baby's brain can typically recover quickly from oxygen deprivation with no signs of damage ever occurring. However, as mentioned before, prolonged oxygen deprivation can be very dangerous. If the Broca's area (on the left side) of the brain is damaged, it can lead to problems with language and speech. Damage to the right side can have an impact on the child's emotional development. Paralysis can occur if damage occurs on either side. Birth injuries such as Cerebral Palsy can result from oxygen deprivation as well as possible vision impairment and hearing loss.
Not all birth injuries are a result of medical malpractice, however some can be. If prolonged oxygen deprivation occurred and there were overlooked signs, it can be a case of medical malpractice. This means that the doctor acted negligently, breaching the standard of care they must uphold for their patient. If the doctors missed obvious signs of deprivation or treated the problem incorrectly, directly leading to birth injuries, it could potentially be medical malpractice. If this is the case, you want to consult with an attorney to see if you can receive proper compensation for the injuries caused.

Ace Durano is the Philippines' latest Secretary of Tourism and one of the youngest and most dynamic members of the Government. Durano carries his own name appropriately, particularly the "Ace"part.
Filipinos love nicknames and the country is dotted with Bings and Gings, and Ace is no exception to the rule. He has been instrumental in putting the Philippines back on the map and increasing inbound tourism. He believes his goal of five million is achievable by 2010.
In an exclusive interview with Washington Times, Secretary Durano was able to get his perspective on the new strategies he is implementing.
Question: Having had the opportunity to visit the Philippines as a tourist as well as on business, I've been able to witness the splendid beaches in Cebu and the historical sights of Luzon and Manila.
There is much more to the Philippines than meets the eye. Your country is often misrepresented overseas as being dangerous or lacking infrastructure. How are you addressing those issues and specifically how will you communicate this to people in the United States and Europe?
Secretary Durano: The challenge is quite different from market to market. Clearly there are markets more challenging than others.
Seventy percent of our total foreign arrivals come from North Asia, HK, Korea and China. Asean is growing healthily as well. For this 70 percent of the market, the perception problems do not exist. For example, Japan, which is probably the most conservative and sophisticated among the North Asian Markets—their apprehension is more general than specific. If you look at outbound travel in Japan, it went down six percent this year, and Hawaii was the hardest hit. As far as Japan is concerned, they compose about 12 percent of our arrivals.
They are not one of our growth markets. Our growth markets would be Korea, Mainland China and the Asean nations.
The U.S. and some of the more developed European markets are where the perception problem arises. There is no easy formula to reverse the perception problem; you just consistently have to send the right messages. Our approach is a very practical one in these markets. For example Russia is one of our fastest growing markets. Arrivals grew by 30 percent. As far as North America is concerned, we will continue to focus on Philippine-Americans.
In summing up, to grow the demand for tourism traffic, our market strategy concentrates resources in North Asia, emerging markets in Europe, and the Philippine-American community in the United States.
This strategy has paid off and allowed us to grow our tourism traffic overall in the last four years, since 2004. On top of that, it is quite apparent investments have become interested in the sector. In fact in the past two years, the FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in the tourism sector went into hotels and resorts. The government has followed suit by putting in the necessary infrastructure, such as airports in the destinations, etc.
The overall picture is positive.
In 2004 we only had 2 million tourist arrivals. Last year we had 3.1 million. This will be a growth sector for the next 40 years and we are well on the way to meet the target of 5 million visitors by 2010.
Q: What is the Philippines doing to attract more MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention & Exhibition) business?
Secretary Durano: The proximity factor plays a large role in the recent increase that the Philippines has experienced with respect to meetings and conventions. Effectively the geographical location of the Philippines places it within two hours of flying time from some of the world's largest markets, notably Korea and Mainland China.
These are the two fastest-growing outbound markets. Destinations all over the world are fighting for the same markets.
Again our advantage lies in the fact that we are the closest tropical destination to these two giant marketplaces. New facilities have also contributed to growth in the MICE business. Two important venues have come on stream—the SMX (the new S & M exhibition center in Manila) as well as The Marquis, a new facility in the Shangri-La Hotel in Cebu. Mainland China is evolving so fast; for example, Hyundai China held their first dealership meeting in Asia, in the Philippines. Previously they had held meetings as far afield as Las Vegas or Gold Coast Australia.
For the meetings and convention business, Korea is a big market for us.
Q: Medical Tourism is an area that many countries including the Philippines are interested in. Given the high level of education, coupled with the high level of English, the Philippines is an ideal destination for MT. Is DOT involved in this new and lucrative market?
Secretary Durano: We are very much involved in it. Although from the regulations side, the Department of Health manages that aspect. From the tourism point of view, we are opening up various markets. The positive development is that since two years ago, major hospitals have begun to invest in medical tourism. In the past it was just smaller clinics; now the major hospitals have joined the program. One of the sectors we are seeking to promote is in cancer treatment. This is one of those areas that the hospitals decided to focus on with respect to their international promotions. It will improve our presence in this area, as next year we won the bid to host The World Health Tourism Congress, and it will be the first in Asia.
Q: Is the Philippines trying to attract the American market or just the Filipino- American market with respect to medical tourism?
Secretary Durano: The medical tourism program follows the same market strategy that we do for leisure tourism, which makes sense for us, because these markets are more comfortable if they are already aware of the country. Our awareness level is respectable in the Asian market. As capacity expands, it will be natural for us to broaden our market base, but at present we are sticking to the countries closest to us.
Q: One of the Philippines' best resources is its people. They are among the most friendly and natural in the world, clearly an asset for tourism-related jobs. Are there plans afoot to do more in terms of education in bringing up the standard even more, in tourism- related jobs, i.e., hotels, airlines etc.?
Secretary Durano: One of the challenges of the educational system is to provide more vocational skills to our graduates. Our goal is to make HRM graduates immediately employable—not needing further training from hotels and resorts—and to do that, we have to provide the graduates with skills to match the needs of the hotels and resorts. Language skills in Mandarin and Russian are also important. We are working closely with the universities to achieve this. The other challenge for the country is that there is a high demand for Filipino talent abroad. Just between Singapore and Macao alone, they are hiring left and right, and we have to make sure the country is producing enough, not just for the Philippines, but for the region as a whole. I am very confident that as our own sector continues to grow, the people will find the same opportunities in the Philippines as they find abroad.
Q: Please feel free to address a brief message to our readers in Washington DC.
Secretary Durano: I keep on saying the best is yet to come. We have got rid of a lot of our baggage from the past twenty years. Now this generation, my generation, is ready to move on. We don't have the same political baggage of our predecessors. Its time for the Philippines to shine!

W. D. Howells, too, disliked them. "[I]t is asking a good deal of people in these busy, practical times," he said, "to go back with you for half a dozen or more generations, and to lose themselves among strange customs and among strange people in a strange land." As not unusual for Howells, he may have got it exactly backward. Maybe people prefer historical novels precisely because they are a break with business and practicality.
Historical novels are treated like a "tramp in the parlor of letters," said A. B. Guthrie Jr., himself a historical novelist who won the 1950 Pulitzer Prize in fiction for The Way West. Indeed, the popular appeal of historical novels has long been a scandal for serious writers. And so the attempt has been made and made and made again to endow them with what Lion Feuchtwanger (another historical novelist) called a "higher purpose" than seeking merely to "relate historical facts just as brightly and excitingly as possible." (Though that might seem purpose enough to you and me.) So what, according to Feuchtwanger, is the higher purpose of historical novels? To "express [a writer's] own concept of the world."
You might wonder how such a purpose differentiates the historical novel from any other kind of literature, but the expression of higher banality seems habitual to those who would mount a serious defense of historical fiction. The champions of the lesbian novelist Sarah Waters—a writer who deserves better champions—suggest that her neo-Victorian novels express a queer historiography, "which destabilize[s] the idea that studies of differences and similarities across time must exist in tension and opposition to each other." Thus Waters's work "demonstrates that historical fiction may use the past to comment on issues of contemporary concern. . . ."[1] So many words to say so little that is surprising!
Historical novels are "the most consistently political" genre of fiction, Perry Anderson said in the London Review of Books last year. The basis of his claim, of course, is the 1937 study of The Historical Novel by the Marxist critic György Lukács, who argued that the sole aim of the historical novel is to show how class divisions operate in a period of the past—what Anderson calls the "tragic contest between declining and ascending forms of social life." From this angle, the model of the historical novel was fashioned by Sir Walter Scott, because no one is better at dramatizing the forces of class.
But this reductive Marxism is as specious and unlikely as the claim by another Lukacs—the historian John Lukacs—who told an absorbing 1992 symposium conducted by American Heritage magazine that "Every novel is a historical novel." Yes, and every brush is made with bristles; except for those that aren't.
If the historical novel is about class tensions, though, and if every novel is a historical novel, then it follows that every new novel must be written about class tensions. Monism leads to imperative. If the solution to writing historical fiction has been found, it would be irresponsible not to chase after it. Michael Oakeshott dispatches the fallacy when he discusses historical novelists' older sibling, the historian:[D]on't you believe it. Nobody has solved the problem of how history should be written, and for the same reason that nobody has solved the problem of how poetry should be written, or how chess should be played or how houses should be built—because there is no such problem. We have been told, so often as to be nearly persuaded, that history must be scientific, or it must be imaginative, or it must be impartial, or it must be impersonal. But why all this "must"? Why should there be only one kind of history? And we are particularly puzzled because, as far as we know, there are a great many different kinds of history, and we find it very difficult to say one kind is really so much better than any other that it is the only kind we can allow the name to.[2]The mistake lies in talking about the historical novel as if there were just one way to go, as if there were classical unities every historical novel must obey. (Lukács and Lukacs channel Aristotle!) The truth is that there are only historical novels—novels, plural—with as many different approaches to historiography, and to making up stories about the past, as there are historical novelists. Alessandro Manzoni saw further than twentieth-century theorists when he said the historical novel's aim is to "give a faithful representation of history." The historical novel, he concluded, is "the most refined and ingenuous effort" yet devised to "mix history and invention, whatever their form."
The question is whether a historical novel owes its best effects, its keenest pleasures, to being set in a historical past—whether its historical trappings are necessary or mere bubkes. Confining myself to novels in English, and to one novel per author (in alphabetical order), here are twenty-five historical novels which, if not the best of their genre, make good use of their historical settings, for instruction and delight. The list is not exhaustive, because my reading is not exhaustive:
• John Barth, The Sot-Weed Factor (1960). Barth is in eclipse, but deserves to be remembered for this novel: the story of a seventeenth-century poet who is commissioned to write an epic poem, The Marylandiad. Like many of the very best historical novels, it not only asks its readers to "lose themselves among strange customs," but also in a strange language—a curious and authentic seventeenth-century English.
• Frederick Buechner, Godric (1980). The life of a twelfth-century saint, from Britain to Jerusalem and back, whose talk is spicy and impious at times, wholly realistic at all times.
• Peter Carey, True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). The first-person confession of the bushranger and outlaw who became a folk hero to Australians and was hanged by the British in 1880.
• Willa Cather, Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927). Perhaps the best example of a subvariety that I've called the historical novel of faith—the story of Jean Baptiste Lamy of Santa Fe and his vicar Joseph Machebeuf.
• J. G. Farrell, The Siege of Krishnapur (1973). Indian Muslims besiege a British imperial outpost during the "Great Rebellion" of 1857.
• Esther Forbes, A Mirror for Witches (1928). The chronicle, written in contemporary idiom, of a seventeenth-century girl accused of being a witch.
• George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman (1969). The multivolume autobiography of a Victorian "bully and poltroon, cad and turncoat, lecher and toady," begins in the first Anglo-Afghan War.
• Thomas Gavin, King Kill (1977). The incredible hoax of the automated nineteenth-century chess player, which was exposed by Edgar Allan Poe.
• Linda Grant, When I Lived in Modern Times (2000). A British hairdresser transplants herself to Mandate Palestine, becomes involved with the Irgun.
• Robert Graves, Sergeant Lamb's America (1940). Better known for his Claudius novels, Graves is at his best in this story of a Dublin man in the service of His Majesty's Army in the American Revolution.
• MacDonald Harris, The Balloonist (1976). In 1897, a Swedish scientist tries to reach the North Pole via hot-air balloon.
• Charles Johnson, Middle Passage (1990). A powerful philosophical novel about the U.S. slave trade in the early nineteenth century.
• Thomas Keneally, Confederates (1979). In the American Heritage symposium, Garry Wills called it the best novel about the Civil War. I can't disagree. Stonewall Jackson's invasion of the North as experienced by Virginia soldiers in the ranks.
• Janet Lewis, The Wife of Martin Guerre (1941). In a sixteenth-century village in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, a woman discovers that the man she passionately loves is an imposter.
• Bernard Malamud, The Fixer (1967). Blood libel in Czarist Russia—a retelling of the Beilis case.
• Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies (2012). Even better than her first Booker Prize-winning historical novel, Wolf Hall (2009)—the story of Anne Boleyn told from the slant of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief minister.
• Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove (1985). There are other contenders (Walter Van Tilburg Clark's The Ox-Bow Incident, A. B. Guthrie's The Big Sky, Oakley Hall's Warlock, Eugene Manlove Rhodes's The Proud Sheriff, Wallace Stegner's Big Rock Candy Mountain), but McMurtry's may be the best novel ever written about the American West. One of my fondest memories is trying to read it, all 843 pages of it, in a single sitting.
• Marilynne Robinson, Gilead (2004). Three generations of Iowa preachers, from the Civil War to the 1950's. An American classic.
• Michael Shaara, The Killer Angels (1974). The battle of Gettysburg is reconstructed from multiple perspectives—nearly all of them officers'.
• Jane Smiley, The Greenlanders (1988). The final years of Gardar, the Norwegian bishopric in Greenland, and the people who live there in the fourteenth century.
• Allen Tate, The Fathers (1938). The rise and fall of old Virginia from the last antebellum days to the first months of the War between the States.
• Jane Urquhart, The Underpainter (1997). A first-hand account of the birth of modern art narrated by an American painter who studied under Robert Henri and palled around with Rockwell Kent.
• Sarah Waters, Fingersmith (2002). An orphan girl serves a Victorian collector of erotica in a variety of capacities.
• John Williams, Augustus (1972). An epistolary historical novel about the nineteen-year-old who finds himself, upon the death of his great-uncle Julius, the new Caesar of the Roman Empire.
• Marly Youmans, Catherwood (1996). In seventeenth-century New York (near "Albanie"), a young mother and her baby girl become lost in the woods for seven months—and survive.
The source for everything you need to know about historical novels is Margaret Donsbach's astounding one-woman site, which categorizes over five thousand titles. To the making and reading of historical novels, as Donsbach convincingly shows, there is no possible end.
Update: Readers have suggested Penelope Fitzgerald's The Blue Flower (about Novalis, the German Romantic poet who lived from 1772 to 1801), Stephen Harrigan's The Gates of the Alamo (about, well, the Alamo), Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire (the battle of Thermopylae as told by the only Greek survivor, and also Joseph Epstein's favorite historical novel), Thomas Flanagan's The Year of the French (about an Irish insurgency, aided by the French, in 1798), Gore Vidal's Creation (about Persia in the fifth century before the Common Era), Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series of novels about the British Navy (although it is a private theory of mine that you either like George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series, as I do, or O'Brian's naval novels), George Garrett's The Death of the Fox (about Sir Walter Ralegh), and Ernest Haycox's The Border Trumpet or Trouble Shooter (two Western novels).

Since first encountering them two-plus years ago, I've been unable to escape from Dorothy Dunnett's historical novels of late medieval and Renaissance Europe. They're quite different from most of what you've cited here, built much more explicitly as romantic entertainment (Flashman, though anti-romantic, is probably the closest comparable on your list), but that's not that surprising because they're not really like any other books I know of at all: over fourteen novels and nearly nine thousand pages of tiny type, Dunnett creates a world so thickly peopled, so richly described, so compelling and convincing, that it simply doesn't go away after you close the books. Her novels are dense with allusion, both internal and external, with cryptic asides, with plot and character threads that stretch, often silently, through thousands of pages. They're demanding: Dunnett assumes an attentive, careful reader, and she doesn't pander to any other kind. When I read Tolstoy, I'm often astonished at the very idea that a single man could contain such multitudes; in a different, but not much less powerful way, I feel the same when reading Dunnett.
And now to go check out a couple of these that I've not read. Thanks for the tips.
Alas, I am not wise enough to argue about brushes and bristles, but I do mostly agree with John Lukacs when he argues that "every novel is a historical novel." Novels tend to "freeze in time" all characters and incidents; so, in a paradoxical way, as novels become history they become historical novels. Perhaps that is a careless manipulation of words and ideas, but that is where my mind is these days.
In any case, Mark C. Barnes in _Novel History_ offered a simple but intriguing look at historical novels. It does not have the erudition of your arguments, but it nevertheless provokes plenty of thought about the genre (if that is a permitted label).
As always, when you provide reading lists, I appreciate your generous offering, and I am intrigued by the titles.
How, do you think, speculative (science and/or fantasy) fiction fit in with the historical novel arguments?
I agree with you R.T., a great many books could be considered historical fiction. I enjoy reading historical novels from all era's. My latest favorite "Quest for the Lost Name" by George Makris. What I like about this book is that it doesn't just center around history (it does), but I love the action/thrill of it. It grabs you from the very first line and keeps you going till the end.

California Rolls Out Licensing For Cannabis Businesses
Last week, the Bureau of Cannabis Control issued the first licenses for California's new market. The first license went to Moxie, a cannabis distribution company out of Lynwood.
The search feature for the list of licenses issued so far
As of the publication of this article, the Bureau, the state authority tasked with leading the regulation of the industry, has issued 43 temporary licenses. So far, four laboratories have received licenses, along with a number of retailers, distributors, microbusinesses in both medical and adult-use markets.
The labs to receive their temporary licenses so far are pH Solutions, Steep Hill Labs, Pure Analytics and ORCA Cannalytics. Judging by the number of temporary medical and adult-use licenses awarded so far, it appears the Bureau is trying to issue a similar amount for each sector, distributing the number of licenses between the two equitably.
You can find the list of licensees here, and search between the dates of 12/15/17 to 1/2/18 to get the most up-to-date list of licenses awarded. "Last week, we officially launched our online licensing system, and today we're pleased to issue the first group of temporary licenses to cannabis businesses that fall under the Bureau's jurisdiction," says Lori Ajax, Bureau of Cannabis Control Chief. "We plan to issue many more before January 1."
According to the press release, temporary licenses are only issued to applicants with prior local authorization in the form of a license or permit from the jurisdiction where the business is. Those licenses will become effective on January 1, 2018. The temporary licenses will work for 120 days, or May 1, 2018, after which businesses will need to have a permanent license to continue operating.
More than 1,900 users have registered with the Bureau's online system, and more than 200 applications have been submitted, according to the press release.
The various regulatory bodies in California have worked diligently for months now to roll out proposed emergency regulations, setting strict requirements for manufacturers, growers, retailers and testing labs. Manufacturing regulations, including specific labeling, packaging and processing requirements, give a good snapshot of how regulators plan to move forward. Testing requirements could also be significantly firmer, with rules for documentation, sample sizes, sampling procedures, storage and transportation.
Yet when the adult-use sales become fully legal on January 1, 2018, those regulations will not be fully implemented.
Donald Land, a UC Davis chemistry professor and chief scientific consultant at Steep Hill Labs Inc., told The Associated Press, "Buyer beware." There will be a six-month range where existing inventory will be allowed on the shelves, products that might not meet the standards of the new rules. So dispensaries will get half a year of sales before all products have to meet the new, stricter testing requirements.
Steep Hill, ACCL Find Pesticides in Over 50% of Cannabis Samples
On Election Day, voters in California passed Proposition 64, establishing a recreational cannabis market and regulatory environment. While the state won't issue the first licenses under the new regulatory scheme until 2018, the medical cannabis industry is already well established.
Steep Hill Labs, Inc., based in Berkeley, California, found in October that 84.3% of samples submitted tested positive for pesticide residue, according to a press release. The announcement came before Election Day, but is particularly eye opening given the massive new market created overnight by Prop 64.
Particularly concerning is their detection of Myclobutanil, which was found in more than 65% of samples submitted to the lab. According to the press release, when Myclobutanil is heated (i.e. smoked or vaporized), it is converted to Hydrogen Cyanide, which is extraordinarily toxic to humans and can be fatal in higher doses.

According to Reggie Gaudino, Ph.D., vice president of science, genetics and intellectual property at Steep Hill, their more recent study shows they detected pesticides in roughly 70% of the samples they received and 50% of those contained Myclobutanil. Gaudino says that up to a third of those samples would have failed under Oregon's regulatory standards.
If a lab test were failed, it would contain pesticides at or higher than the required action level. Oregon's action level, or the measured amount of pesticides in a product that the OHA deems potentially dangerous, for Myclobutanil is 0.2 parts-per-million (PPM). Steep Hill's instrumentation has a method detection limit down to the parts-per-trillion (PPT) level, which is a more precise and smaller amount than Oregon's action level.
"Those in the cannabis community who feel that all cannabis is safe are not correct given this data – smoking a joint of pesticide-contaminated cannabis could potentially expose the body to lethal chemicals," says Jmichaele Keller, president and chief executive officer of Steep Hill. "As a community, we need to address this issue immediately and not wait until 2018."
Potentially harmful pesticides, and specifically Myclobutanil, have been detected in Colorado and Washington's recreational markets on a number of occasions, proving this is a widespread issue. Steep Hill's release suggests that California regulators take a look at Oregon's pesticide regulations for guidance when developing the regulatory framework.
What's even more troubling is that not all laboratories have or had the capability of detecting pesticides at sufficiently low levels and because of this, other labs had significantly lower rates of pesticide detection, suggesting possible inconsistencies in testing methods, instrumentation, sample preparation or other variations. During a 30-day period in late September and early October, Steep Hill found, using publicly available data, or data from contracted testing, that other labs were only reporting between 3% and 21% pesticide detection.

It is important to note that those samples were not identical and there could be a great degree in variation on the quality of samples sent to different laboratories, so it is not an entirely accurate comparison. Steep Hill does however detect pesticides down to the parts-per-trillion level, whereas many common methods for detecting pesticides look at the parts-per-billion level.
Reggie Gaudino says the Association of Commercial Cannabis Laboratories (ACCL) is using this data to work with Steep Hill and a number of other labs to address these issues. "As a member of the ACCL, and after discussion with ACCL, we have agreed that all future discussion of this issue should not include laboratory names, as this is about educating the industry in general, and making sure all members of the ACCL are developing the best possible methods for detecting pesticides," says Gaudino. "The ACCL has responded to this data, by inquiring on a larger, industry-wide basis, which represents a better picture of the issue, rather than only in California's still-technically unregulated market." The important message is this is a major issue that needs addressing urgently. "As such, the troubling issue remains, across the larger ACCL membership, there is still detection of pesticides in at least 50% of the cannabis being tested."
According to Jeffrey Raber, Ph.D., president of the ACCL, the industry is experiencing a pesticide problem, but it is very difficult to quantify. "It is fair to say that around 50% of the cannabis being tested contains pesticides, but we really don't know that exact number until a much more comprehensive statistical analysis is performed," says Raber. "We agree this is a big problem and that it needs to be addressed, but we are not sure just how big of a problem it really is." With so much variation in labs in a state where not everyone is required to test products, it is very difficult to pin down how consistent lab results are and how contaminated the cannabis really is. "If all of the labs had the same methodology, samples and shared statistical analyses for a real study then we can look at it closely but it seems we are a ways off from that. I can say confidently however that this is a pretty significant problem that needs addressing."
Still, Steep Hill detecting pesticides in a majority of their samples and some labs finding as little as 3% should raise some eyebrows. "Unfortunately, our recent study discovered that 84.3% of the samples assessed by our triple quadrupole mass spectrometer contained pesticides," says Keller. "As of today, this tainted product could be sold in most dispensaries throughout the state of California without any way of informing the patients about the risks of pesticide exposure."
These findings could mean potentially enormous health risks for medical and recreational cannabis consumers alike, unless regulators, labs and growers take quick action to address the problem.

Virtual Robert Levin
By Carl Kopman
We sat in my car parked by the beach at Todd's Point smoking a joint; this was Mendocino after all. I had brought Robert the book of photographs we'd produced after he'd moved into the nursing home. He was pleased with the quality of the photographs.
Virtual Photography.
Selected Works.
Robert Levin
"They capture my intent," he said.. coughing.. holding in the smoke.
Passport Photo, Albuquerque, 1973
As I mentioned, the title for his small selection was Virtual Photography. I suppose that was the intent and, in some ways, the extent of his vision. Most of the photographs were double and triple exposed images photographed in the 1970's and 1980's, and digitized, colorized, photo-shopped in the early 1990's. They appeared more like watercolors than photographs and I was pleased that he was satisfied with the quality of the work.
I read his quote from the first page. 'Photography is like magic and like magic..it's not the wand, its the magician.' "I really like that," I said, taking the joint from his swollen fingers.
"I don't know if I said that…I might have read it somewhere," he said rather sheepishly.
"What would you have said if it were your own words?" I asked.
"I think I would say, he could have done better," Robert said.
Robert sunk into the cushion of the car's seat, his chest falling into the stretched elastic waistband of his dark, worn blue sweatpants, his head bowed, his eyes peering through thick round eyeglasses; an old, tired owl. It wasn't always that way.
"So could we all," I thought. "It sounds like something you'd see on a gravestone," was what I said.
He laughed a bit… or maybe it was a shiver as he took one last toke on the roach. He tried unsuccessfully to reach across his body to loosen his seat belt but his girth was too great, his muscles too atrophied, and his dexterity too limited. I unbuckled it for him and opened the windows of the car letting out some smoke and in some air. Robert tossed the roach out the window where the wind carried it with the sand blowing across the parking lot tarmac. We listened to a herd of seals barking at gulls skimming across the tops of waves in an ocean filled with whitecaps. I lit another joint and took a deep drag.
"You know what my wife wants as an epitaph, Robert."
"No. what?" he said.
"Alone At Last".
"That's too bad," he said.
"Why?" I asked
"Well, when you die.. and you're buried next to her… well, she won't be alone anymore," he said. He was serious.
"Hmm… maybe my gravestone should read, "Not So Fast Darling, Move Over!" I exhaled in his direction.
"I don't think that would be fair," he said.
The photographer shrugged as best he could, pulling his chin up from his chest. A gull had landed on the hood of the car. Robert formed a rectangle with the thumbs and forefingers of each hand framing the gull. He clicked his tongue as he would a camera.
"Nice photograph," I said. "Not bad," he said.
We sat stoned in our own thoughts. He, immersed in Virtual Photography; Me, thinking it was time to return him to the nursing home.
"So," he said, "are you writing, again?"
"A little," I said.
"Tell me," he said.
I pulled a folded paper from my vest pocket. I read:
"I remember the lights
exploding in Tiananmen Square…
the death of the Year of the Dog…
chasing its tail backward toward
the inevitable whispering light …
the dead never return from dancing…
it seemed to say… ."
"Nice poem," he said. "Not bad," I said.
And for once we were young again.
He adjusted the frame of his fingers to capture the seagull flying from the hood of the car into the sun settling behind an inevitable shifting cloud.

Oh Carl. This is so very dear. It doesn't seem possible so much time and so much aging has past. For me, what will endure is that impish smile Robert had. Had. Still a foreign word when so many memories and people never age in my heart.

What is controlling and coercive behaviour?
17th August, 2022
Ella Dodgson
Solicitor | Family & Matrimonial
Email Ella
Former Manchester United and Wales footballer Ryan Giggs is currently on trial following accusations from his ex-partner, including controlling and coercive behaviour.
But what exactly is controlling and coercive behaviour and what can you do if you have been subjected to it?
Identifying controlling and coercive behaviour
The acts that are characterised as controlling and coercive behaviour can appear in many guises and there are several different definitions. The judgment in the case of F v M [2021] EWFC 4 sets out the following definitions:
Coercion will usually involve a pattern of acts encompassing for example assault, intimidation, humiliation and threats
Controlling behaviour involves a range of acts designed to render an individual subordinate and to corrode their sense of personal autonomy
Key to both behaviours is an appreciation of a 'pattern' or 'a series of acts', the impact of which must be assessed cumulatively and rarely in isolation
Controlling and coercive behaviour is therefore a pattern of behaviour. Whilst one act may be considered to be abuse, on its own it is unlikely to be considered controlling and coercive behaviour.
Examples of controlling and coercive behaviour could be:
Isolating a person from their friends and family
Monitoring a person such as tracking them, watching them on CCTV or using spyware
Repeatedly putting a person down such as telling them they are worthless
Taking control over aspects of a person's everyday life such as dictating where they can go, who they can see, what they can eat or wear and when they can sleep
Enforcing rules and activities to humiliate, degrade or dehumanise a person
Financial abuse including controlling finances
Threatening to hurt or kill a person or child
Threatening to reveal or publish private information
Preventing a person from having access to transport or from working or being able to study
Stay up to date with:
What can you do if you have been subjected to controlling and coercive behaviour?
Controlling and coercive behaviour is a criminal offence but protection can also be sought from the family courts.
Where children are involved, the Court will want to know whether there has been domestic abuse including emotional abuse in the relationship as this can impact on the arrangements for the children in the future. Where allegations are not admitted, the Court may order parties to file schedule of allegations, witness statements and supporting evidence such as statements from family and friends or police disclosure.
The Family Court can also make protective orders such as Non-Molestation Orders preventing a person from being able to threaten, pester or harass a person or Occupation Orders which regulate who can live in the family home.
Allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour can be subtle and therefore are notoriously difficult to prove. Professionals involved in these cases must be able to understand the complexity of the issues, provide appropriate advice and present cases to the Court in the most effective way to ensure the allegations are thoroughly examined.
How can the Ward Hadaway family solicitors help
When it comes to allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour, no two cases are the same. Due to the subtleness of the behaviours, some victims may not even realise the behaviours they have been subjected to would be classed as abuse. We therefore recommend seeking advice from a specialist family lawyer.
The Ward Hadaway family team have a proven record of successfully representing clients within the Family Courts where there are allegations of controlling and coercive behaviour and are here to provide you with professional support and advice.

Posted on September 17, 2020 by John Hinderaker in Department of Justice, Media Bias
The Washington Post Smears AG William Barr. I was There.
I have been in DC (Northern Virginia, actually) for the last two days, in connection with Hillsdale College's Constitution Day event. Last night, Attorney General William Barr spoke at dinner. The main subject of his speech was the rule of law, and how the rule of law is advanced by the fact that in federal agencies, final decisions are up to the senior, political appointees. In the Department of Justice, this means, ultimately, the Attorney General. (Paul wrote about the speech and the Washington Post's dishonest attack on it here.)
Barr articulated several reasons why senior officials in DOJ get the last word on prosecutions, and should. First, they are politically accountable. An attorney general is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. If someone has a problem with decisions he makes, he can be fired by the President or called before Congress to explain. In a democracy, this kind of political accountability is essential.
Second, uniformity is an important aspect of the rule of law. We cannot have a U.S. Attorney in New York advancing a novel theory against a criminal defendant in that state, while the U.S. Attorney in Florida refuses to bring a similar prosecution on the same ground. Only if DOJ's senior officials have ultimate responsibility for decisions on prosecutions can uniformity be assured.
Third, the most senior officials generally have more experience than line attorneys, and they also have a broader perspective. A line attorney knows his own cases, but the political appointees know (and are responsible for) the Department's policies and priorities.
Barr's comments had a context: he talked about the fact that the D.C. press corps has attacked him for doing his job; that is, exercising his powers and duties as Attorney General. Outlets like the Washington Post see something sinister in the fact that the Attorney General is actually running the Department of Justice. This is not a consistent concern, however; as Barr pointed out, such concerns disappear when the A.G. is a Democrat.
Barr's speech was well-received. In fact, he got four standing ovations from the Hillsdale crowd. I didn't think he had said anything particularly controversial, so I was shocked later last night to see that the Washington Post had published a highly misleading account of the speech which I had heard only an hour or two before.
The Post's story bears the snarky headline, Barr accuses Justice Department of headhunting and interfering with politics. The headline is flatly false. Barr did not accuse DOJ lawyers of "interfering with politics." The Post just made that up.
The Post story reads, as usual, like a DNC press release:
Speaking at an event hosted by Hillsdale College, a school with deep ties to conservative politics…
Someday I want to see a Post story about a public official speaking at Harvard, "a school with deep ties to liberal politics."
…Barr directly addressed the criticism that has been building for months inside the department toward his heavy hand in politically sensitive cases, particularly those involving associates of President Trump.
Translation: some DOJ lawyers are activist leftists, who don't like it when the AG doesn't approve their pursuing a partisan agenda. And they know they will find a sympathetic ear at the Washington Post.
Barr's comments were remarkable in that the head of the Justice Department catalogued all of the ways in which he thought his agency had gone astray over the years, and in its current formulation harms the body politic. Barr has drawn considerable criticism for intervening in criminal cases in ways that help benefit the president's friends.
Actually, Barr praised DOJ, while also pointing out that its career lawyers are not perfect, and are subject to temptations like "headhunting." Has Barr drawn "considerable criticism" for executing his duties as Attorney General? Yes, from the Washington Post.
Basically, the Post took the opportunity to repeat its past smears of the Attorney General, without even trying to portray the content of his speech fairly, let alone rebut the powerful arguments he made.
I believe the television networks have aped the Post's criticisms of Barr's speech. Tom Cotton took all of these left-wing outlets to task on Twitter:
The AG has been accused of "attacking" career prosecutors in this speech. He wasn't. He was making the point that DOJ is a chain-of-command institution. It cannot function with thousands of politically unaccountable line prosecutors setting their own individual policies.
— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) September 17, 2020
Career prosecutors represent the government, they're not running their own activist law firms. And that means they answer to the AG—and that he answers in turn to the President and the American people. "The buck stops at the top."
Again, read the speech in full. You'll be better informed than the journalists hyperventilating about it on Twitter:https://t.co/jx9UQV8CHP
I join with Senator Cotton in encouraging you to read the AG's intelligent, thoughtful speech. As Tom notes, he repeatedly quoted former Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson. I wonder whether the Post intended to smear Jackson, an icon in the legal profession, too.
I gave my Constitution Day speech today; so far no coverage in the Post. I had the opportunity to chat briefly with Attorney General Barr before the dinner last night, and learned that he does read Power Line from time to time. I hope we serve as an antidote to the nonsense he sees day after day in D.C.'s dominant paper.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #135: Crate Digging: Hellblazer #63
Posted by thedrunkenodyssey in Comic Books, Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart
Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #135 by Drew Barth
Crate Digging: Hellblazer #63
Did you know that Bruce Wayne would be turning about 102 this year? Dick Grayson would also be well into his nineties. Jason Todd would be a young man in his fifties. That is, of course, if these characters would age in real time. That doesn't happen in comics. Otherwise, we would be having funerals for Bronze Age characters by now. But somewhere after the Bronze Age, in 1985, John Constantine was created by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, Rick Veitch, and John Totleben and was made to age. He would be one of the only characters in DC canon to age in real time as he had his definitive birth date and he would be one of the only characters to celebrate turning forty.
In a hit of mortality, Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon, Tom Ziuko, and gaspar gave us John Constantine turning forty in 1993. How would a character like John Constantine turn forty, though? He is known as a perennial bastard the world over. Could he even have a birthday party?
Yes, actually.
John Constantine, despite his outward misanthropy, is a beloved figure to readers. His birthday escapades include drunkenly pissing on the Phantom Stranger's shoes and asking Swamp Thing to save the dying pot plant in his flat. Standard birthday fare.
Escapades aside, though, this single issue has its own significance. Bruce Wayne is never going to age out of being Batman unless the story calls for it, but in this original run of Hellblazer, John Constantine gets the same mortality as the rest of us with the same amount of mortal dread as that brings. Or as much mortality as a comic character can get.
It's unfortunate that the folding in of the Vertigo mainstays with the rest of the DC Universe did push Constantine's age back into his nebulous twenties/thirties again if only because that robbed us of Old Man John Constantine being even more cantankerous than normal. But then that also means we're being spared a younger character "OK, Boomer"-ing him in canon. Still though, the experiment that Constantine represented with real-time aging showed us that characters could be older without it being a story-line gimmick. It brought us closer to Constantine because we could grow old alongside him.
Get excited. Get old.

A pleasantly ripe core of red wild cherries and red currants, combined with classic Willamette Valley "femininity" and bright acidity, make this Pinot a real standout at $25. Nose of fresh, ripe cherry, orange tea and watermelon continues on to the taste, adding coriander and currants. All is well and good at this point, then on the back palate (in other words just before you swallow the wine) a delicious deep red cherry flavor emerges. A little surprising, frankly, for a sub-$30 Willamette Pinot. But then look at the winery's overall quality and the attention they put into this wine, and the superb 2014 vintage, and it makes sense. Pinot Noir lovers should jump all over this wine!

BUILT HERITAGE - Towns and Villages - Moycullen
Moycullen is a Gaeltacht village 10 km northwest ofGalway city on the N59 road to Clifden. The 2011 population was 1,559. Moycullen is now very much a satellite town of Galway and most of the residents commute to Galway for work and school as it only has a national school with no secondary school. While Moycullen may have been an Irish-speaking Gaeltacht village in the past, many of the current residents are not natives and do not speak Irish as evidenced by the fact that the national school is not a recognised Gaelscoil.
Moycullen was a station on the Galway Clifden railway line from 1st January 1895 until its closure on 29th April 1935
The Irish name of Maigh Cuilinn means the plain (maigh) of the holly (cuilinn).
The Ballycuirke (Ballyquirke) Canal
This waterway connects Ballyquirke lake to the Corrib and is comprised of more than one waterway. Kyran O'Gorman has published navigation directions on how to find it and travel on it in March 2015 and there is another detailed discussion of the various branches of this waterway here. Kyran's account is well worth a read as it also cover navigation on the Downs Lakes (six of them) and Ross Lake.
Industries in Moycullen include Connemara Marble Visitor Centre and Croke Concrete.
Moycullen Bogs Natural Heritage Area
Moycullen Bogs NHA is an extensive lowland blanket bog located 5 km west of Galway City in Co. Galway and is an SAC. To the west it is largely bounded by the Spiddle - Moycullen Road (some areas west and north-west of this road are, however, included), to the north and east by the Galway - Moycullen road and to the south by the Galway - Spiddle road. It has an altitude range of between 40 m and 143 m and is primarily underlain by granite bedrock. Several lakes and streams are contained in the site as well as large areas of wet and dry heath, fens and flushes and revegetating cutaway.
Tomás Bairéad
Tomás Bairéad was a journalist and Irish language author, born in Moycullen in 1893. He was a member of the Moycullen group of the Irish Volunteers (Óglaigh na h-Éireann) in 1916. He was also a member of the IRB and Sinn Féin, and was friendly with Liam Mellows and Proinsias Ó hEidhin. He was one of a group of Volunteers involved in the burning of the RIC Barracks in Rosmuc in 1920. He died in 1973. Most of his writing deal mostly with stories and events familiar to him from his own countryside.
All his papers are available to view on the Galway Digital Archive.
Claud Chevasse (1886-1971)
Claude Albert Chavasse was born in Oxford on the 2nd April 1885. His father was Albert Sydney Chavasse a Professor of Classics and a Fellow of University College Oxford. Claude seemed to have been interested in Irish culture from an early age. He appears to have been a perennial student having entered Oxford in 1903 but didn't collect his degree until 1909. He was still on the university register in 1916. His sister Margureite Chavasse came to Achill to set up a Lace School in Keel. Claude decided to visit Achill and he became involved in Scoil Acla.
In 1917 he met and married Moirin Fox, a writer who later wrote the biography of Terence McSwiney, Mayor of Cork. They had one daughter called Aebhgreine.
In 1925 Chavasse was the secretary of the Knocknacarra branch of Conradh na Gaeilge in Galway, he had became a well known figure around the city because of his manner of dress. He dressed like an Irish chieften and wore a saffron kilt and cloak and during my student days, I often saw this to me eccentric character striding down Shop Street. The kilt was made by O'Maille's and consisted of five yards of hand-woven tweed, 28 inches wide. He was an avid Irish speaker and refused to speak English. At one time while in Cork, he was fined £5 by a Macroom court for refusing to speak english to a Garda when stopped for a minor driving offence. Rather than paying the fine he instead spent two nights in jail. He was elected as the Galway representative for Sinn Fein at the Ard Feis in 1949 under the name Cluad de Ceabhasa.
He is buried in Kilcummin Cemetary, Oughterard, Galway.

Then during the Generations meeting He showed me who in my area that I can start impacting. That night God spoke very specifically to me that my purpose was to make myself low by pushing other people higher. I felt strongly that all the Lighthouses need to reach out and start actively anointing the next generation, so that Aglow will continue on in the future, generation after generation.
It is the mothers and the prophets that need to arise. I felt like God called me at the conference to go to every Lighthouse in our state to wake them up, stir them up, and lift them up, to seek out who God is anointing to be raised up to future leadership.
I believe what the older generation in Aglow has is a very special anointing, and it is so important that the next generation receive it. I love Aglow, not only because of its organization, but because it is a move of God that is powerful, and growing in power rapidly. I believe we are going to be moved into such a position that we will be taking back dominion in the earth.
At the conference God brought all the prophecies I have had together, and I finally get who I am.
Start making plans now to attend the 2017 50th Anniversary Global Conference September 27th - October 1st in Richmond, Virginia.


HOW COMMON IS PASTORAL INDISCRETION?
In recent months, the news media have reported a number of cases of clergy indiscretion, stories that have raised the question: Just how common is such indiscretion?
Before addressing this topic of temptation in ministry, LEADERSHIP commissioned a poll to determine the scope of the problem. The research department of Christianity Today, Inc., mailed nearly one thousand surveys to pastors, and 30 percent responded.
According to the results of this survey, sexual temptation among pastors is a problem-70 percent of the respondents expressed the belief that pastors are particularly vulnerable.
In the words of one respondent: "This is, by far, the greatest problem I deal with."
The survey probed the frequency of behavior that pastors themselves feel is inappropriate.

Shea butter, commonly known as shea butter, is a tropical woody oil made from the fruit of the Shea Butter (or Shea Butter, Shea Butter), which is unique to the Midwest of the state, and is white in appearance. Light yellow, soft waxy solid or semi-solid at room temperature, with a fresh shea butter atmosphere, the solution is clear and transparent.
Shea butter extracted from the shea butter extractor is a typical non-drying oil. The main components are triglycerides and unsaponifiables, of which the triglyceride content is about 80%, and the content of non-saponifiable matter (1) % to 19%) varies depending on the season, the climate of the producing area, the quality of the raw materials, and the method of refining.
The average composition of fatty acids in shea butter is 41% to 52% oleic acid, 30% to 46% stearic acid, 3% to 8% palmitic acid, 0 to 0.3% palmitoleic acid, and 4% linoleic acid. 12%, linolenic acid 0-1.3%, arachidic acid 0.2%-3.0%, peanut-enoic acid 0-0.6%, the average composition of unsaponifiable matter is decene alcohol 65%-75%, Plant sterols range from 3.5% to 8.0%. Shea butter has a high unsaponifiable content, is highly oil soluble, and is safe and non-toxic, giving it its unique value in eating, makeup, and medical care.
Shea butter is extremely precious and is called "Jadeite in Vegetable Oils" by chemists and pharmacologists. It is often used for skin care and to prevent dry skin and dehydration.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the living standards of our people and the awareness of health and beauty, the natural green handmade soaps, sunscreens and make-up cosmetics that are marketed with shea butter are increasingly favored by consumers.
Therefore, natural shea butter, which is an important raw material, has strong demand in the domestic market, and the price remains high. Many companies are rushing to invest in the establishment of shea butter processing plants in non-state raw materials, thus driving China's shea butter. Development and export of process equipment.
After a large number of process and equipment test studies, we have basically mastered the process and equipment configuration for the production of shea butter. The relevant research and existing problems are as follows, and the production technology of shea butter is discussed with the industry colleagues. The problem is discussed together to make a technical reference for the development of shea butter.
