For 50 Years, This Feminist Ceramicist Has Told Stories With Clay
"What a fortunate calling it is to have this lifelong affair with clay!"

When Coille Hooven was young, she looked forward to a certain nighttime ritual. Every night, while tucking her in, Hooven's father would lull her to sleep with a bedtime story of his own creation. She was in awe of her father's ability to weave fairytales and myths out of thin air.
Today, Hooven is a formidable storyteller in her own right. Yet instead of telling tales with words, she sculpts them with clay. For over 50 years, Hooven has molded stories of mermaids, snakes and other hybrid beasts ― fantastical tales with feminist undercurrents.

Delicate and mighty, Hooven's sculptures resemble household objects that, when no one is looking, sprout mythical critters from their every crack and corner. Aprons, shoes, pillows and mugs become temporary shelters for long-limbed lions and triangular ghosts, forming skeletons of feminist fairy tales the viewer must piece together for herself.
"I liken my work to dream interpretation," the artist wrote in an artist statement from 1985. "It is both literal and symbolic, intended to invoke a feeling that lingers. The shoe is a shoe, but it is also an animal, a vehicle, and a stage for the play within."

In a traditional palette of whites and blues, Hooven explores issues of gender inequality, domestic spaces, work and motherhood, allowing each to change shape as they bubble up from the subconscious and into clay. Tackling the most pressing tensions of womanhood in a complex language of symbols and signs all her own, Hooven weaves lighthearted mythologies with dark undertones that will crawl into your psyche and find a quiet place to rest.
A retrospective spanning Hooven's work will be on view this fall at New York's Museum of Arts and Design (MAD). It's called, quite fittingly, "Tell It By Heart."
Hooven was born in New York City to two creative parents. Her mother was a poet, her father an architect and designer who, among other accomplishments, created the logo for the United Nations. From the age of 2 years old, Hooven had little doubt she wanted to follow in her parents' footsteps and become an artist. Around the same time she had this epiphany, however, her family picked up and left New York for Virginia.
Growing up, Hooven was constantly possessed by the call to create. "I was always doing artsy things," she explained in an interview with The Huffington Post. "I was just artsy. It was how I lived my life." Her father's office was a mecca of art supplies in bright and tempting colors, all of which Hooven took advantage of constantly, with her parents' approval. "I couldn't get rid of it. I needed to make the things I wanted to make."
In the early 1960s, Hooven received her BFA from the University of Illinois. There she discovered that, despite her love for all creative modes, it was clay she wanted to devote her life's work to. "I tried metal, I tried weaving, I tried sculpture," Hooven said. "When I tried clay I never went back."
Coille Hooven, "Peter in the Shoe," 1983
When I asked why, Hooven described how the medium opened itself up to her, exposed in all its formless susceptibility, it felt like magic. "It was easy for me to work with clay," the artist said. "Shaping balls of clay, throwing them on the potter's wheel, catching them the moment they're dry, but still damp enough. I just loved it ― the process was a flowing rhythm between the medium and my mind."
Before long, Hooven's work branched in two distinct directions. There was the pottery, the everyday objects she'd sell to pay the bills, and there was the fine art, the delicate sculptures that brought bedtime stories to life in extraordinary, soft detail. Yet regardless of the particular piece, whether it would be categorized as "high" or "low" art, the clay always delivered.
"No matter if I am making fantastical shoes or coffee cups, the feel of the clay is alive," Hooven said. "I have to partner with the clay. What a fortunate calling it is to have this lifelong affair with clay!"
Coille Hooven, "Security Pillow," 1982
Perhaps for this reason, Hooven was unfazed by the criticism she received for working in a medium often designated as "craft" instead of "art." She recalled a specific instance in which an individual advised her to give up her pottery practice for fear it would diminish her ability to be taken seriously as a "real" artist. "I had no tension because I was doing what I wanted to do," she remembered. "I was in it too much to be able to not like it."
After graduating from University of Illinois, Hooven took a position in the ceramics department at the Maryland Institute of the College of Art in Baltimore, eventually rising to the position of chairperson. Under her guidance, the ceramics department grew from a single wheel to a thriving ecosystem of clay.

In Baltimore, Hooven spent much of her time teaching and starting a family, all the while dreaming of moving to California, where the ceramics world felt the most experimental, the most free. Eventually, Hooven packed up and moved with her two children to Berkeley, California. She set up a studio in her home and supported herself by selling work at studio sales and craft fairs.
Hooven's children grew up, much like she did, surrounded by art. "It was the only norm," Hooven's daughter Molly told HuffPost. "My mom was an artist my whole life, so was my dad. We grew up around studios and art sales. Having no money was also normal. I never realized my family didn't go to normal 9-to-5 jobs. It was never like that."
While her mother's career as an artist never struck Molly as exceptional, Hooven herself did. "She's a super strong person and a very independent mother," said Molly. "I admire her because she's always done what she loved. She was always going after what she believed in, so I ended up doing the same thing. I went to art school as well, and she always supported me."
In 1962, Hooven submitted a piece to the Museum of Arts and Design for their "Young Americans" exhibition. The piece was accepted and displayed when Hooven was only 23 years old, at the beginning of her career. This fall, she will return to the MAD for a retrospective honoring her lifetime contributions to the field of ceramics.
"I feel so blessed," Hooven said of the show. "I never thought this was going to happen." The exhibition spans 50 years of Hooven's work, from a time when both ceramics and feminist art were not terms you'd likely encounter in art world conversations, to a moment when both are at the forefront of artistic discourse. Today, Hooven's influence is everywhere, from Nicki Green's queer takes on traditional china to Kaye Blegvad's sweet and surreal creations.
For Hooven, the trajectory of her life feels almost as dreamlike as the stories she dozed off to before bed, or the legends that manifest themselves in her clay creations. "We came together, clay and me," she said in disbelief. "It's what I always wanted to do."
"Coille Hooven: Tell It By Heart" is on view from Sept. 22, 2016, to Feb. 5, 2017, at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York.

A recent cleanup effort involving the environmental tragedy known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch gives hope that some of the damage done by dumping decades of plastic waste can somehow be mitigated in the future.
The patch of floating debris, estimated to be twice the size of Texas, is located halfway between California and Hawaii. Although it is thousands of miles away from Guam, it is a reminder that Pacific Rim nations use the ocean that surrounds us as a garbage disposal.
While cleanup efforts are laudable, the real solution to the problem will be moving away from our dependence on plastics and recycling the plastics that we do use. In addition to removing the garbage we've tossed in the water, we have to stop adding to the pile.
USA TODAY reports that in the middle of October, The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch nonprofit project aimed at cleaning up the debris, began scooping up the floating garbage patch. The system involves a series of 4-foot booms in the shape of a horseshoe and a nine-foot net that snags the trash and micro-plastic in the hanging barrier.
Eventually, the project hopes to have as many as 60 of these devices straining plastic from the water. Once collected, the plastic can be recycled.
Earlier this year, a study published in the journal Nature explained how buoyant plastics "can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of the world's oceans."
That should be of great concern to the people of Guam.
The USA TODAY article said the Great Pacific Garbage Patch "has about 1.8 trillion pieces of trash and weighs 88,000 tons – the equivalent of 500 jumbo jets." Even with 60 large net systems collecting the debris, the effort would be like cleaning up a landfill with 60 garden shovels - while people are still dumping trash into the landfill.
We can all take steps to reduce the amount of plastics that end up in the ocean. We can star by reducing the amount of plastics we use.

NFL Flexes Packers-Ravens Game in Week 15
Their Week 15 showdown is a potential Super Bowl preview featuring 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson vs. 2020 MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Bill Huber
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The NFL has changed the Week 15 game between the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens from a noon start to a 3:25 p.m. kickoff.
Putting the game in the marquee national slot makes sense from a league and network perspective. Baltimore is the current No. 1 seed in the AFC with its 8-3 record. Green Bay is the current No. 2 seed in the NFC with its 9-3 record. That makes this a potential Super Bowl preview featuring 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson vs. 2020 MVP Aaron Rodgers.
The game is Green Bay's only remaining contest against a team with a winning record.
"This was an important one," Rodgers said after beating the Rams on Sunday. "There's still a lot to be figured out in the conference, but I like where we're at. I like our football team. We've got some more home games down the stretch. These are the type of winter games where we can and have effectively thrown the football. We've controlled the clock for almost 40 minutes. This is what makes it so difficult to play in Lambeau. So, we've got to win our division first, secure that home playoff game, and then we have the tiebreaker over Arizona, so we're right on their heels right now."
The Packers are on their long-awaited bye. Despite a lengthy injury list, they beat the Los Angeles Rams, who were coming off their bye, on Sunday.
"It's been a long time," coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. "It's been, what, 12 weeks we're into this thing. We gave them a couple days off after that Thursday night game [at Arizona] but these guys have been grinding hard. I was really impressed with everybody's ability to stay focused and making sure that they gave their best effort last night. I thought it was extremely important that we were all on the same page there. And I was really proud of our guys' effort and I thought they came through."
It's 49ers at Packers in NFC Divisional Playoffs
The San Francisco 49ers upset the Mike McCarthy-coached Dallas Cowboys to advance to an NFC divisional playoff game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers.

Packers Will Open Playoffs with Rematch

The Green Bay Packers dominated most of the season with a 13-4 record. If there's one huge reason for concern, this would be it.

Documentaries 2018
In 2018 we hosted 11 editions of TransitionCinema, with each screening followed by a Q&A with experts from diverse fields, such as politics, environmental law, economics, and technology.
Happening – a clean energy revolution
Filmmaker James Redford embarks on a colorful personal journey into the dawn of the clean energy era as it creates jobs, turns profits, and makes communities stronger and healthier across the US. Reaching well beyond a great story of technology and innovation, "Happening" explores issues of human resilience, social justice, embracing the future, and finding hope for our survival.
A Basic Income for All!
There is enough wealth for all of us. What if we decided that every human being has a right to income security? How could a basic income change our lives? Could this relieve our society from the stress and anger that comes with the rising inequality?
This documentary follows filmmaker Michal Siewierski as he explores the impact that food choice has on people's health, the health of our planet and on the lives of other species. It looks at many misconceptions about food and diet, offering a new view on these issues. Featuring interviews with 28 world-renowned experts, this film will certainly change the way you look at the food on your plate.
A Thirsty World
"A Thirsty World", filmed in some 20 countries, reveals the mysterious and fascinating world of fresh water through spectacular aerial images shot in regions that are difficult to reach and rarely filmed. It shows the everyday reality of all those people who are deprived of water and may even die for lack of it, the people engaged in the daily struggle to find water, purify it or bring it to those who need it.
From Source to Sea
Merijn Tinga, better known as The Plastic Soup Surfer, has a mission. He wants to stop the increasing plastic pollution of the marine environment. In an attempt to create awareness he paddles down the entire Rhine on a board made from plastic bottles.
Speed – in search of lost time
Florian Opitz tries to track down the reasons for our lack of time and the constant acceleration of our lives. He reveals a disturbing picture of a civilisation that goes blindly for unlimited and eternal growth – no matter what the consequences. But Opitz also tries to find the good life. In the niches of the global capitalism he discovers alternatives to the rat race.
The Age of Consequences
The Age of Consequences investigates the impacts of climate change on increased resource scarcity, migration, and conflict through the lens of US national security and global stability. These experts make the compelling case that if we go on with business as usual, the consequences of climate change – waves of refugees, failed states, terrorism – will continue to grow, with grave implications for peace and security in the 21st century.
This tribute to the human imagination takes the form of an indictment of hierarchical education systems aimed at competition and quantifiable results. This documentary essay quotes education expert Sir Ken Robinson at the start: "I believe that we systematically destroy this capacity [for imagination] in our children and in ourselves."
Banking Nature
That the climate is changing drastically and species are dying out is an ominous reality, but nature conservation has become a flourishing business sector where huge sums of money change hands and endangered organisms are transformed into financial products. This investigative documentary delves into the wondrous world of green banking.
Banking on Bitcoin
Bitcoin's early pioneers sought to blur the lines of sovereignty and the financial status quo. After years of underground development Bitcoin grabbed the attention of the public, and the ire of the regulators. An ideological battle is underway between fringe utopists and mainstream capitalism and this film shows the players who are defining how this technology will shape our lives.
A Quest for Meaning
Two childhood friends travel the world to meet some of the greatest thinkers of our time. This incredible voyage, full of moments of doubt and moments of joy, will lead them to question the very beliefs that have shaped Western civilization. This film captures the change in human consciousness currently happening all over the planet, and the desire to live in harmony with oneself and the world.
DEC Happening – a clean energy revolution
NOV A Basic Income for All!
OCT Food Choices
Every year about 250.000 tons of sorted out computers, smartphones, and other devices from a far away electrified and digitalized world end up in Sodom. Everybody here is in some way or another living off the blessings of the computer age, many die of them. Check out the trailer & details.
SEPT A Thirsty World
JUL From Source to Sea
Merijn Tinga, better known as The Plastic Soup Surfer, has a mission. He wants to stop the increasing plastic pollution of the marine environment. In an attempt to create awareness and fight pollution of rivers and oceans using his surfboard as a weapon: he paddles down the entire Rhine on a board made from plastic bottles. His campaigns combine raising awareness with creativity, innovation and constructive calls to action.
JUL Speed – in search of lost time
Sweden is typically portrayed as a perfectly organized society in which everyone has equal chances for an independent existence. One upshot is that people don't need to ask anyone else for help, bringing human contact to a minimum. The film raises the question of why a life lived in such security could be unsatisfying. Check out the trailer & details.

During the National Platform of Joensuu on October 24-26th, it has been decided the creation of a national ESN network with its own statutes and board. Heidi Hietala, NR of Finland, promoted the set up of a working group for ESN Finland.
The National Platform approved the proposal and elected the members of this WG. The working group's President was Eerika Hedman (ESN JYY), the other members were Harri Lähdekorpi (ESN JYY), Nicolau Goncalves (ESN TKY), István Mák (vice-NR), Jutta Pietiläinen (ESN HYY), Marco La Rosa (ESN HYY) and Heidi Hietala (ESN Åbo Akademi).
The WG presented at the National Platform of Rovaniemi the draft of the Statutes and the Standing Orders which were voted and approved by the Finnish sections, therefore the structure of the national network has been voted too and the first National Board elected.


Another power couple is "Flying Down to Rio" for the Olympic Games. What Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers did for dancing, Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci did for gymnastics.
Comaneci, of course, was only 14 years old in 1976 when she scored the first perfect 10 in Olympic history, and then added six more 10s for good measure. She was the 1976 all-around champion and also competed in 1980, finishing her career with nine Olympic medals, including five golds, for Romania. Conner is a three-time Olympian and was part of the champion U.S. men's team in 1984.
He secured an individual gold medal on the parallel bars by chalking up his own perfect 10, and he eventually got the girl too. The pair married in 1996 and now live in Norman, Oklahoma. Their 10-year-old son, Dylan, will accompany them to Rio, where they'll be studio analysts for Brazilian broadcaster TV Globo. We asked Conner and Comaneci, who became a U.S. citizen in 2001, to talk about their Olympic experiences and who to watch at the Games.
Even 40 years later, that is still powerful to me. When I got to the Games, I was really young and overwhelmed by the competition. I walked into the arena and I saw all these people that I had read about in all the books. I was kind of freaked out by it and I didn't do well.
I thought I did pretty well—I didn't think I did great—on my first compulsory routine. I was the last one to compete on uneven bars for my team, so I landed and then I didn't look at the scoreboard, because the music was playing for us to march to the next event. I heard noise in the arena. I turned my head and I saw the scoreboard, which was 1.00. I looked at one of my teammates, who shook her head and she said, "I think it's something wrong." I didn't know what it was, until they explained the scoreboard was not made to show a 10. It's great, because it's been 40 years since that and people are still talking about it.
Conner: Having been world champion in 1979 in parallel bars and the team winning bronze, we had big aspirations for Moscow in 1980. Of course, that fell by the wayside when we boycotted. In 1984, we did our first event, and I felt terrible. I thought, "I can't believe on the most important day of my life I just don't feel right." I felt heavy and lethargic.
On parallel bars, I started feeling lighter and it was like this huge lead weight was lifted off my shoulders, but I literally didn't come to the realization until later that it was a mild form of shock. It's not like I hadn't been through this. A lot of coaches say, "You treat it just like it's any other meet," but the athletes know it's not.
Bart Conner in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Comaneci: At the Olympics, everybody wants to see "Who's the next one?" Every four years, you remember those Olympics by someone or by something that has happened. And it has to be something big or something compelling. Unfortunately, that person will slightly overshadow a lot of the other amazing athletes who will win medals because it's hard to remember all of them.
Conner: I've always said that you can be wealthy by circumstances, or you can be born good-looking by accident, but the only way you get to stand on top of the Olympic podium with a gold medal around your neck is if you worked hard and you earned it. It would be easy to justify a case for the U.S. men to win a team medal in Rio. [Four-time national champion] Sam Mikulak is just a marvelous gymnast, but he still has to figure out that puzzle piece of why he has been inconsistent.
Comaneci: The U.S. women's team is the favorite for the team gold, but with the format of "three athletes up and three count," you have to be on, because every mistake counts. In the all-around, I think it's going to be a head-to-head competition with [world champion] Simone Biles and [defending Olympic gold medalist] Gabby Douglas. Simone has a little bit of an advantage because of her increased difficulty [which is rewarded by the scoring system] on floor and vault. And the beam is always who stays on.—as told to Karen Rosen.

Continuing on with the Chilean thread. This rendition is pretty good. Without the Pebre, the cheddar cheese is a dominant flavor; with the Pebre, I'm thinking it wouldn't make a difference so next time I'll swap out the cheese for tofu or maybe Cashew Sour Cream.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and stringy bits. Roast flesh side down on a baking pan at 425 for 50 minutes. Remove, cool, then peel off the tough outer casing. Fingers work best here . Put the squash in a bowl and lightly mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon.
While the squash is cooling, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Saute onions until slightly caramelized. Toss in garlic and saute briefly, 1 minute, the add the peppers and saute until soft, about 4-5 minutes. In one swift move, add the spices (cumin, chili powders, cayenne, salt and pepper), stir to blend for a few minutes then remove from heat. Let cool.
Mix the egg mixture, cheese and corn into the squash with your masher or spoon. When the sauteed veggies are cool, mix those in as well.
Heat oven to 325. Evenly spoon and smooth squash mixture into a large baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes or until the edges start to crisp up.
Cool slightly, then partition in 8 meal-sized pieces or 16 sides. Serve with Pebre. This freezes well but I would not microwave the frozen product (mine turned into squash soup) – defrost in fridge then toss it in the oven to reheat.

I attempted to do both a squash casserole and the accompanying sauce tonight but only managed to finish the sauce. Probably for the best, there are many ingredients so I'll do the sauce post tonight and another tomorrow for the casserole.
Inspiration for making this sauce came from my outing to the pan South American restaurant, Andes Cafe. While my meal there was exclusively Peruvian, I went Chilean on my own.
I totally recommend you make a full recipe even though it will make about 3 cups; you will use it on everything. It reminds me of a cilantro based chimichurri. So far I've used it on scrambled eggs, corn chips, pasta and a Morningstar Farms burger; great pairing all around! I imagine this is good on grilled meats, particularly chicken.
Blend everything together and refrigerate for at least one hour before using.

Chris Udvarnoky (n.Flint, Míchigan, Estados Unidos; 23 de mayo de 1961 † Liverpool, England, Reino Unido; 25 de noviembre de 2013) fue un actor y animador norteamericano.

Biografía
Nacido en Flint, Míchigan, Chris vivió la mayor parte de su vida en Westfield (New Jersey), donde se graduó en la Escuela Secundaria Westfield en 1979. Era hijo de Charles Udvarnoky (1933 - 2002) y Edith D'Andrea, y hermano gemelo de Martin Udvarnoky, con quien compartió el escenario cinematográfico.

Cine
Si bien tanto él como su hermano tuvieron una sola aparición en el cine, el film fue tan popular en sus tiempos que dejaron una marca en la historia del cine de terror clásico estadounidense.

Chris, Martin y su maestro habían oído hablar de que estaban actores para interpretar a los gemelos Perry en la producción The Other (El otro), de modo que enviaron fotografías a las oficinas de la Fox, y después de algunas entrevistas, los hermanos se hicieron con los papeles. No tenían experiencia previa como actores y su única publicidad anterior fue como cazadores de estrellas de los equipos rivales en la Liga Pequeña local. En aquel momento participaban en unas obras de teatro en el 'Herbert Berghof Studio de Nueva York; se da la coincidencia de que Berghof era el marido de Uta Hagen, que interpretó a la abuela de los gemelos Perry en la película).

El film en el que Chris formó parte del plantel protagonista junto a su hermano y Uta Hagen es El otro, de 1972, en el papel de «Niles Perry», un personaje con muchos matices que esconde un escalofriante secreto detrás de su personalidad dulce. Con frases como «Holland, ¡¡¡¡dónde está la niña??!!!» provocaron un gran impacto en los espectadores que siguieron de cerca la película.

Ambos aparecerían posteriormente detrás de escena en decenas de producciones norteamericana.

Otras profesiones

Terminado el film, los gemelos Udvarnoky dejaron el mundo de las cámaras y terminaron por trabajar en otros ámbitos. Chris trabajó trabajar como técnico de rayos X desde 2002 en los hospitales Overlook y Rahway. Era también un miembro veterano de la Brigada de Rescate de Westfield.

Fallecimiento
Chris Udvarnoky falleció el 25 de octubre de 2010 a los 49 años de edad, en el Padre Hudson House en Elizabeth, Nueva Jersey, como consecuencia de una Enfermedad del riñón poliquístico que derivó en una insuficiencia renal. Sus restos fueron incinerados.

ALBANY – Out-of-favor Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Kathleen "KT" McFarland defiantly thumbed her nose at the state GOP chairman yesterday and refused to quit the race.
"I have earned my spot on the ballot in September, and I intend to keep it," said McFarland, a Reagan-era Pentagon official who was urged earlier in the day by GOP boss Stephen Minarik to drop her campaign in favor of former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer, the big winner at last week's Republican nominating convention.
Earlier this week, Minarik successfully appealed to former Mass. Gov. William Weld to quit the race for the party's gubernatorial nomination after Weld was trounced at the convention by former Assembly Minority Leader John Faso.
Polls show that neither McFarland nor Spencer would be a strong contender against Clinton.

Everton vs West Ham United Preview- Premier League Action Returns!
West Ham will return to Premier League action tomorrow for the first time in 2 weeks, after matches were postponed last week due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Last time the Hammers played in the league, they controversially lost 2-1 to London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
This time out, they travel to Merseyside to face fellow strugglers Everton, who are one of two teams who are yet to win a league game this season.
West Ham come into the game in good spirits following their 3-2 win in the Conference League group stage on Thursday night, and fans will be hoping for another 3 point's tomorrow.
Last season, West Ham did the double over Everton, beating them 1-0 at Goodison Park before a 2-1 win at the London Stadium later in the season.
David Moyes will be hoping for a happy return to Goodison Park, where he spent 11 years as Everton manager. When questioned on his time at Everton prior to the game, he said, "I always have huge thanks and good feelings for Everton Football Club, but obviously I am manager of West Ham and I will be trying to win the game".
There's a familiar face for West Ham fans in the opposite dugout, former player Frank Lampard. This adds an extra incentive for Hammers fans to win tomorrow, as it is safe to say Lampard is not a fan favourite.
The game is available in the UK on Sky Sports, with kick off at 2:15pm tomorrow.

She beat Tan Xue, of China, 15-9, to win theUnited States a gold medal in fencing for the first timesince Albertson van der Postat the St Louis Games in1904. As Zagunis triumphed,she was at first lost for words: "I don't even know what to say right now,"she said, before adding: "I'm so happy."France won team gold inthe men's épée, inspired bybrothers Fabrice and JeromeJeannet in a 43-32 defeatover Hungary. Defendingchampions Russia retainedthe women's team épée with a 34-28 victory overGermany.When Timea Nagy, ofHungary, won the women'sépée for the second Games insuccession, she insisted shewould not be back for Beijing.Nagy, who beatFrance's LauraFlessel-Colovic, 15-10, said: "I won't be goingto the next Games. I want to concentrate on increasingmy family. I will speak with my husband and decidewhat to do."Times change, and thelure of the Olympic Gameshas seen the mother-of-twonow planning to chase a hat-trick of Olympic titles in2008, when she will be 38years old.Fencing is one the few sports that have beenpart of all editions of the modern OlympicGames. The sport of fencing today is thedevelopment of a form of combat that waspractised as long ago as 1190 BC, as depictedby carvings in the temple of Madinet-Habu nearLuxor in Egypt. While the majority of Olympicsports remained amateur until 30 years ago,fencing recognised professionals as early as the1896 Athens Games, when Baron Pierre deCoubertin made special arrangements for thoseknown as the "masters" to take part. Women'sfencing made its debut with the foil at the ParisGames in 1924. The sport has three differentelements; the foil, the épée and the sabre.Women's épée and sabre were introduced at the1996 Atlanta and 2004 Athens Gamesrespectively. The foil has a flexible blade,compared to the épée where competitors muststrike with the tip of the tougher blade. Thesabre has an edged tip and just touching youropponent with the blade earns a hit. Below: An épée bout from the 1928 GamesFORMATWith 10 gold medals on offer, the main changefor Beijing sees women's team foil and women'steam sabre replacing men's team foil andwomen's team épée. Men's team épée hasbeen selected while a vote for the second men'steam event made by members of the FédérationInternationale d'Escrime (FIE) saw sabreselected ahead of foil by 45 votes to 20. Eachcompetition has a single-elimination format.Teams consist of three fencers, and each oneduels each member of the opposing team.Eight countries progress to the Games: thetop four in the world rankings as of 31 March2008 and the other half being the highestranked teams from the Americas, Europe,Asia/Oceania and Africa, excluding those whohad already qualified. In Beijing, for the first time in the history ofOlympic fencing, a new video refereeing systemwill be used. VENUEFencing will take place at the NationalConference Centre, which will be one of thebusiest areas during the Games. Not only will italso be staging the fencing and shootingdisciplines of the modern pentathlon, it is alsothe home to the International Broadcast Centreand the Main Press Centre. The centre is in theOlympic Green, the 1,135 hectare area wherehalf of the venues, including the NationalStadium and the Olympic Village are based. It isa temporary venue - once the Games are over,Beijing authorities plan to use the facilities forexhibitions and conventions.CONTENDERSAn interesting pattern is emerging in thecountdown to Beijing: at the 2006 WorldFencing Championships that were staged inTurin in September andOctober 2006, being thecurrent Olympic championdid not guarantee furthersuccess. Wang Lei, of China,won a silver medal in the épée at Athens2004 but went one better at the WorldChampionships to establish an importantmarker before his country hosts the Games.He beat Joaquim Videira, of Portugal, 6-5 inthe final. France dominated the men's teamevents, winning all three classes.The women's sabre showed fencing is asport where youth is no barrier. Zagunis wasbeaten by her 17-year-old teammate RebeccaWard 15-11 in the final. Ward completed anamazing 2006 when she secured world titlesin the cadet, junior, junior team and seniordivisions, but Zagunis remains the world No. 1on rankings. Their duel in Beijing could besomething special.Losing to a teammate was nothing new atthe World Championships because in the foil,Italy's Valentina Vezzali, the Olympic championin Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004, wasbeaten 7-6 by Margherita Granbassi.Above: Wang Lei, men's épée WorldChampion and Athens silver medallistBelow: Wang (crouching) on the attackATHENSREVIEWFENCING

Inthe men's event, Croatia, theworld champions, hit back aftertrailing 12-11 at half-timeagainst Germany to win 26-24and achieve their first and onlygold medal on the finalafternoon of these Games. It was a victory inspired byMirza Dzomba, who is generallyregarded as the best right-winger in the world. He scored nine times from10 shots as Croatia regainedthe title they had won at theAtlanta Games in 1996. Russiaearned bronze with a 28-26victory over Hungary.Denmark'swomen made it ahat-trick of Olympictitles by beating South Korea -in a game decided on penaltieswhen the teams could not be separated after two overtime periods. It was a repeat of the finalfrom Atlanta, which Denmarkwon 37-33 in extra time andthis clash was equally close.South Korea, gold medallists in1988 and 1992, thoughtvictory was theirs when theyled 34-33 before, with justeight seconds remaining,Katrine Fruelund equalised.Her teammate HenrietteMikkelsen converted the keygoal in the shoot-out whereDanish goalkeeper KarinOernhoej Mortensen made twosaves. Ukraine beat France 21-18 to win bronze.Handball has been on the Olympic Gamesprogramme since Munich 1972. It was fittingthat it returned to the Games in Germanybecause it had previously been a medal sport inBerlin 36 years earlier. At the time it was an 11-a-side sport, which was played outdoors;now it is seven-a-side, played indoors andmakes for great thrills and spills because of thespeed of a game developed on the format offootball, with the use of hands replacing feet.This form of handball was created in Europeancountries Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Germanyand Sweden but history tells us that the sportitself is one of the oldest in the world. Even inThe Odyssey, written by Homer in around 600BC, there is mention of a game to mirror that ofhandball. Yugoslavia's men won the first Olympichandball gold medal and while the USSRbecame the first women champions in Montrealin 1976, Denmark has won the women'scompetition at the last three Games.Above left: The USSR take on Korea during themen's final in Seoul in 1988FORMATIn Beijing the number of women's teams hasincreased from 10 to 12, on a par with the men.Qualifying has started for both men and women,with 11 places available alongside the hosts.Germany, as winner of this year's WorldChampionship, and women's Europeanchampions Norway, have already secured their places.Half of the spots in each gender will bedecided at Olympic qualifying tournaments thisyear and next with continental competitions,such as the Pan-American Games, whereprogress to Beijing is guaranteed for thewinners. Since the Olympic Games in Athens in2004, the International Handball Federation (IHF)has approved 12 changes in the rules, overissues including timeouts and substitutions,which will come into operation in Beijing. It wasalso confirmed that squad numbers will be 14.VENUEHandball will take place in two venues at theOlympic Green: the National Indoor Stadium andthe Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium. Thestadium is one of 12 new arenas being built forthe Games and is one of the most impressive,constructed to resemble a folding Chinese fan.It will have a capacity of 19,000 and willalso stage artistic gymnastics and trampolineand when the Games are over, will be used as agymnasium for local residents and be availablefor cultural and entertainment programmes.The sports centre venue is located towardsthe south of the Olympic Green - the indoorstadium is close to the centre - and is anexisting construction which is being renovated,increasing its capacity from 6,000 to 7,000,with the majority of seating at each side.CONTENDERSGermany, the runners-up from Athens, haveestablished themselves as one of thefavourites again as the clock ticks towardsBeijing. In February thisyear, Germany won theWorld Championship onhome soil in Cologne whenthey beat Poland 29-24 inthe final to secure their route to Beijing, eventhough they lost their goalkeeper HenningFritz through injury during the match.It was the first time a combined German team had triumphed in this eventsince 1938 and the first since West Germanywere champions in 1978 and the omens aregood for the Germans. Defending Olympicchampions Croatia were also the worldchampions when they arrived at Athens in 2004. France, who knocked out Croatia in thequarter-finals, were beaten by Germany in thesemi-finals and then lost to Denmark in thethird/fourth place match 34-27.The women's World Championship takesplace in France in December and will give astrong indication of the likely Beijingcontenders.Top: Hungary and France will be contendersin the women's event Below: Germany arethe new men's world championsATHENSREVIEWHANDBALL

Cracks in the Pavement (weekly update)
October 23, 2016 October 23, 2016 by Gods and Radicals, posted in Weekly Update
An Urgent Call…
We received the following communiqué and are pleased to repost it:
This is a call. Not to be heard, but felt. A call to be moved. A call to action.
Many of you now know of the struggle of the Standing Rock Sioux and innumerable other indigenous nations against the Black Snake called Dakota Access Pipeline. The prayer and action camp at Standing Rock has been sustaining a vibrant community in resistance to the pipeline since the spring, slowing down construction and withstanding militarized police harassment on a near daily basis. The 20 mile injunction placed on construction by the federal government has been lifted, and construction is now within just 6 miles of the Mni Sose River and the encampment. The battle has entered its most decisive moment.
Our indigenous relatives from across Turtle Island have come here to continue a struggle that has been kept alive for over half a millennium. They have come here as the original and sovereign land tenders, earth defenders, and water protectors of this place. As the original walkers of the path of right relationship. They have come here to take back power and to show leadership in the fight against exploitation and commodification, against the culture of colonization and inquisition, and for a healthy and bountiful world.
We are humbled and inspired by their initiatives, and unconditionally support them. Now is the time for us as allies in this anti-colonial struggle, to call upon our fellow comrades to join us on the battlefield.
To all who pray to our Earth and the water that cleanses her and brings forth life. To all who cast a circle and call in the elements, spirits, gods and goddesses, and deities; who ask for guidance from the spirit world. To those who listen to the ancestors as our descendants lay and wait. To those who align themselves with the cycles of the moon, the seasons, and the tides. For whom the cycle of life and death does not instill fear and aggression, but strength and comfort. To all who know how to listen.
It is time now witches, to deepen our work not only of casting spells and hexes, but of breaking them. We call forth the de-spelling of individualism, empire, spectacle, domestication, and whiteness.
It is time now witches to join us. Join us in spirit and join us in humility on this land. Bring your magick. Bring your prayers. Bring your bodies to the frontlines to protect all of creation. Come ready to take decisive action to kill this Black Snake. Come ready to follow in the path of indigenous warriors. We call you to join a frontline battle in a spiritual war that has been raging for centuries. A war against a dead civilization for all life on earth.
If you cannot come in body, take action from afar; the form of life of our enemies pervades all around us. If you cannot come, pray, cast, gather the coven, go to the wild, hold ritual, plan attacks. Ground yourself and continue to do the work. Continue to be moved.
We toss you a bundle of thread sweet witches, from the beautiful homelands of the Oceti Sakowin in each direction. It is the thread of centuries of resistance. Weave with it.
The Persistence of Ink
Though we're not anti-technology 'round here (see: this site you're reading), over-reliance on centralized networks powered by coal and accessed by machines built by children and others in near-slave labor makes the internet not quite the future any of us hope. In light of the massive Denial-of-Service attacks that shut down many sites this weekend, we'd like to point out that Gods&Radicals is also a print-publisher.
Our latest book, Pagan Anarchism by Christopher Scott Thompson is still available for pre-sale.
The next A Beautiful Resistance will be out February 1st, 2017. The deadline for submissions has been extended to 15 November!
La plus ça change….
You're no doubt aware that the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAP) continues unabated as private security firms increase their presence.
Government arrests of journalists continue, as well, using the same laws originally written to arrest and imprison anarchists and communists in the early 1900's.
There's a connection between the use of private security and those laws, by the way. The Pinkerton Detective Agency was formed in the United States as a for-hire private security firm (read: mercenaries) to arrest IWW members as well striking miners and railroad workers. Later, the Federal Bureau of Investigations was formed as a way of giving the government the same capability that Pinkerton had. The FBI is heavily involved in breaking the power of leftist groups, be they unionists, anarchists, the Black Panthers, environmentalists, or indigenous resistance movements.
History is full of repeating forms, and in this case it's clear that private security (hired by corporations) and the government are working in tandem just like the early 1900's. Laws once used against anarchists and communists never went away, and the same apparatuses used to put down earlier revolts continue to be used.
We Are All Mercenaries
In the US state of California, soldiers are being forced to pay back sign-up bonuses to the US Military. In Paris, police are protesting against the government:
Soldiers and police officers are people–mostly men–hired by the State to maintain the 'state monopoly on violence.' Soldiers are hired to fight and kill people their government has declared enemies; police are hired for the similar purposes within the State.
As governments need to implement more and more violence in the world to maintain capitalism, they'll need to continue paying and arming footsoldiers to do their will. The key, though, is pay.
Under capitalism, we are all mercenaries. We all sell our time and labor for a price. Police and soldiers are mercenaries like us, except their job is to keep the rest of us in line. Eventually, any resistance movement to capitalism and the state will need workers to refuse to sell their labor, to desert their jobs, and we'll need soldiers and cops to do the same.
How do we get there, though? By widening the cracks in the system. When police start to sicken over their work and protest against the government's use of their bodies to destroy the bodies of others, the state weakens. When the illusions that soldiers are doing 'honorable' work and 'defending freedom' starts to fall away, the state weakens.
Any anti-capitalist movement must use these moments to get police and soldiers to desert, to refuse to work, refuse to beat protestors and other workers, refuse to kill Black people, refuse to be mercenaries for the rich.
But we must also start to desert, too, and make the same refusals.

KANE DO
Harry Smith stars at Spurs as Wigan win cup and insists he was just doing his job
Published: 2:25 ET, May 30 2022
Updated: 2:28 ET, May 30 2022
HARRY Smith played the role often carried out by Spurs hero Harry Kane as he trod the same turf.
But Wigan's match winner summed up the new modest attitude that has swept through the club by insisting: "I was just doing my job."

The scrum half's kick that set up Liam Marshall's decisive try with four minutes left capped a display that saw him touch down himself and boot two crucial goals.
It ended a nine-year drought and reunited the Warriors with the trophy for a 20th time.
However, no-one is getting ahead of themselves, even though the first trophy under boss Matt Peet is in the bag – that may propel them to further glory.
Smith, 22, played down his big moment by saying: "It's what I'm paid to do and what the team needs me to do.
"We spoke about it all week, about having composure through the game as half backs and backing ourselves if we see something.
"It's just instinctive really - obviously you can practice it, but it's what you can see in the moment. Liam read it well, put his hand up for the kick and it just came together just nicely.

LION'S LEGACY
What to know about late Detroit Lions player Jessie Lemonier
"Our improvement has been based on culture first and the togetherness of the team, being willing to play for the person beside you. Do everything you can to get that win.
"That's the start of it, the base of it and the new style has also helped. Just having a bit more of an attacking threat and backing ourselves in the right moments.
"There's a clearer message of what's expected from me and everyone knowing their role makes it easier. With Lee Briers coming in as assistant coach, when we get to certain spots everyone knows what we're doing, that's the difference.
"And there's an extra special bond. Stuff we do away from the field and the training ground has really helped gain that and that then shows on the field. Hopefully that can continue."
Wigan's players showed that bond away from the pitch and training ground as they returned the Challenge Cup to the town yesterday after Jai Field also finished off Bevan French's break that had people in New South Wales cheering into their schooners.
The winger, who returned to the club after it stood by him by allowing him to stay Down Under as mother Tiffany Blair lost her battle for life, said: "It kicked off about midnight, so quite a few boys would've been on the beers and still going afterwards.

"Just imagine what they were doing – sitting watching TV and what the atmosphere would have been like when Marshy scored.
"Everyone spoke about what a win would mean to them. It's crazy because my mum and I spoke about this sort of thing when she was still here.
"She wanted me to come back here and, I guess as a tribute in some kind of way, to bring some silverware to Wigan because of the way they supported me."
While French's motivation was clear after the year he went through, Smith also heard what it meant to his family.
His father was not the only 'old man' who played a role, there was Wigan veteran Tommy Leuluai – who returned just one month after suffering a knee injury supposed to keep him out for 'a few.'
And the 36-year-old used his nous to help shatter Huddersfield's hopes after scores from Ricky Leutele, Chris McQueen and Jermaine McGillvary looked set to end a 69-year cup drought.

Smith, who saw Tui Lolohea miss four of five goal attempts added: "Tommy's a legend of the club and he's done so many great things.
"He just brings calmness to the team and that's what helped me produce the last play.
"It's 100 per cent the realisation of a childhood dream. We had video messages and to hear my dad speak, and the family say how much it means to them, was fantastic.

Getting a heavy sweat on is totally normal when you're working out. But when you find yourself a dripping mess simply ordering a coffee or sitting at your desk? Not ideal.
Enter, hyperhidrosis: a condition that occurs when the amount you're schvitzing doesn't seem to match the situation you're in.
"Hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond your body's physiological requirement or need," explains Perth Dermatology Clinic's Dr Tony Cacetta.
It's estimated that up to 5 per cent of the population is affected by hyperhidrosis, although most people refrain from seeking treatment either because of embarrassment or because they're unaware that there are medical treatments available to help.
"Excessive sweating is often a chronic lifelong condition," Dr Cacetta explains.
And while the exact cause of localised hyperhidrosis remains unknown, the generalised kind (which is far less common) is usually due to a side effect of medication, or neurological or hormonal disorders.
Depending on the area affected, a few treatment methods may be trialled.
"Excessive armpit sweating may be treated with antiperspirants initially, which will significantly help those with mild sweating. Often this will not work for those with more significant sweating, who will require other treatments." For those who don't see an improvement, botulinum toxin therapy (aka, botox) is often recommended.
"This reliably leads to a >90% reduction in sweating lasting for 3-6 months in most before requiring re-treatment. There are also other treatments available including microwave thermolysis," he says.
"Initially daily treatment for 30 minutes is required which may then be reduced as required. This treatment will often lead to >60% reduction in sweating when used," Dr Cacetta says.
And when it comes to the face and scalp, botulinum toxin therapy works a treat, as do some oral medications.
"Generalised sweating requires a thorough work up by your doctor to determine an underlying cause. Treatment of the underlying medical condition results in improvement of generalised sweating," Dr Cacetta explains.
