America Should Aim to Contain, not Destroy, ISIS - Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi
by Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi
Originally published under the title, "Why America Should Aim To Contain – Rather Than Destroy – ISIS."
A small contingent of U.S.-trained rebels inserted into Syria last month was decimated by the Nusra Front.
What to do about Syria? How to defeat the Islamic State? Think of all the op-eds and policy papers that aim to provide answers to these questions. But is there actually anything to them? What about the current U.S. approach?
To begin with, one can readily agree that the U.S. train-and-equip program for Syrian rebels to fight ISIS has been misguided from the beginning. The notion that such a force can only take on ISIS and not the Assad regime has no credibility among the overwhelming majority of Syrian rebels, regardless of ideological orientation, as the fight against the two is seen as inherently intertwined. Little wonder then that the initial batch recently inserted into Syria had only 60 recruits.
Further, U.S. policymakers' grasp of the ground situation appears to have been grossly out of touch with reality. They failed to anticipate a clash with Syria's al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, which has also been targeted in American airstrikes. It is clear to any observer who has visited or tracks online the Azaz district into which the U.S.-trained rebels were inserted that the area had a notable Nusra Front presence that would suspect any American proxies.
The U.S. train-and-equip program for Syrian rebels has been misguided.
Meanwhile, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, bound as they are in part by political considerations, have produced mixed results. They have been most effective in the north, in support of the Syrian Kurdish units -- known as the People's Protection Units, or YPG -- that have deprived ISIS of significant control of north Raqqa province and Hasakah, such that the YPG has also taken over many parts previously held by the Assad regime.
U.S.-led coalition airstrikes have produced mixed results.
On the other hand, understandable reluctance to launch airstrikes that can be seen as directly supporting the regime means that ISIS advances through the Homs desert have largely been unimpeded. ISIS's control of the heartlands of its territories in central and southeastern Syria remains largely unchallenged, and revenue streams have not been seriously hurt. Furthermore, hundreds of civilians have been killed by U.S.-led airstrikes, according to a recent report.
The YPG, for all its successes, will only go so far in attempting to take territory from ISIS. The same goes for the expected establishment of a Turkish "safe zone" in the north Aleppo countryside that may clear ISIS out of the remaining northern border areas and has prompted the withdrawal of Nusra Front fighters. This expected "safe zone" is a small, strictly local initiative driven more by Turkey's desire to stop the YPG from linking up with its third canton of Afrin.
Given the failure of current U.S. policy, the main alternative proposed is broader support for rebel groups -- either bringing the downfall of the regime or forcing a political settlement that can then bring about more effective local forces to take on ISIS. In this context, arguably the largest single rebel group -- Ahrar al-Sham -- has taken to Western media, calling for more engagement with the group from the West and the international community, while professing commitment to a "moderate" vision of Syria, including protection of minorities.
Three weeks after penning a Washington Post op-ed appealing for Western engagement, Ahrar al-Sham called the late Taliban leader Mullah Omar an "example of a believer" who "reminded us of the true meanings of jihad and devotion."
While the Ahrar al-Sham op-ed seems superficially impressive, it overlooks the most important issue of the group's ties to al Qaeda. Linked to this point is the subsequent inability or lack of will to oppose some of the more unsavory sides of the al Qaeda presence. For example, rhetoric of commitment to minorities cannot conceal the fact that Ahrar al-Sham has done nothing about the forced conversion to Sunni Islam of the Druze in Idlib at the hands of Nusra Front. Indeed, Ahrar al-Sham, like many other rebel groups, appears to pretend as though this has not happened at all.
In reality, when one reads between the lines of the op-ed, it becomes clear that what Ahrar al-Sham is advocating is Sunni Arab majoritarianism with a sectarian model of politics that cannot be seen as conducive to stability in Syria, even post-Assad. Generally left out of the debate in this context is the problem of simultaneously empowering the rebels and the YPG, when the former tend to view the latter as working towards taqsim Souria (the "division of Syria").
Forming a unified force to fight ISIS would be difficult even with the Assad regime gone.
One thinks of the headache of Kurdish-Arab territorial disputes in post-2003 Iraq: such qualms are and will be no less of a nightmare in a post-Assad Syria. Add to this intra-rebel rivalries with power, ideological disputes and likely continued fighting from pro-regime and ethnic minority militias, and it can be seen just how difficult forming any unified force to take on ISIS will be even with the regime gone. The chaos that has engulfed Libya in the post-Gaddafi era is instructive in this regard, as is the civil war and anarchy in Somalia of nearly a quarter century since the downfall of its dictatorial regime in 1991.
Nor should one pretend that the way forward lies in broader engagement with the regime. The regime is seeing its own population increasingly fragmented among different militia factions and continues to lose peripheral territories to its rivals. It is unlikely to be able to unite the country under its rule again. Working with the regime and by extension its main ally Iran, can only be seen as a recipe for permanent warfare.
The coalition should give up on pretensions to "destroy" ISIS and focus on containment.
In other words, there are no viable solutions. There is generally little honesty about what it would actually take to rebuild Syria at this point. For many years if not decades, it would take a large international ground force in Syria, enforcing the disarmament of all militia actors and implementing a grand nation-building project embodied in a government seen as acceptable to all sides. Unsurprisingly, no willpower or consensus exists anywhere for such an initiative.
Sadly, we are only "in the early stages of what will be a much longer war," as Rania Abouzeid put it. The Islamic State is here to stay for the long term, if not indefinitely, and the coalition should accordingly give up on pretensions to "degrade and destroy" it. Instead, the coalition should focus on containment, providing humanitarian aid for refugees and civilians and establishing a no-fly zone to stop indiscriminate killing of civilians and destruction of what remains of infrastructure in Syria.
Any talk of restoring stability to Syria and defeating ISIS without realistic acknowledgment of what would be required is only an invitation to mission creep and unnecessary waste of lives and resources.

Buddy system soon to be released in Pokemon go!
Nowadays Pokemon go is a pretty viral game and it has many users worldwide.It was originated from the television series and now to our handheld devices so everyone carries their team and characters around where ever they want to go and get a fun world to share.Usually, this game has been a big hit and people were getting involved more and more in get their territory bigger finding more and more of them discovering new one's and powering them up building gyms and many other options available to get ahead of everyone else.But with the passage of time they are getting bored and seeing same things every day at their dashboard and others.Now for this very reason as the users want something more interesting to see and get more involved again in the game they have decided the developers, of course, to get a new thing to their players.The Buddy system!
The so-called new thing is the Buddy system introduced by the Niantic Inc.the noun generally means the cooperative arrangement of different individuals at the same place and work and spend time with each other for their own and others welfare and safety.
The buddy system allows you to store any of the Pokemon characters to your profile and select whichever you want to use.Then after you choose that one you can share it with a buddy and get candy and rewards and achievements while roaming around.You will also have the ability to change your Pokemon go character at any time and roaming or during roaming.The tracking system won't be a problem to your game anymore during this buddy system and you can roam around and get rewards and share it with your team.
Normally the game also is like that you have to roam around and find eggs and candy rewarded all this is based on the luck and training them and improve your ranking is a lengthy process.Getting candy and taking long jumps to improve your rankings is limited and cannot be guaranteed. with the arrival of this buddy system, you will be able to this all in a short but a little less tricky situations.The rare Pokemon you are waiting for them to be achieved evolution and get candy all that is missing and needed to complete the evolution a=will be completed sooner than the previous time frame.
The users are getting the same routine of battling each other and finding candy and Pokemon is the same again and again.The difficult process of not getting the travel length(long distance jumps) at a time and waiting for the eggs will be all left behind and there will be the new theory at the hub.
This thing will also get you level up mostly and the Pokemon will get evolved more easily.The high cp Pokemon will be more often around to find easily and that all being said will depend on upon the speed with you will move and discover them.Also the time you will spend to find the candy and gather them.

The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow was founded in 1796 as the Andersonian Institute, before receiving its Royal Charter in 1964 as the UK's first technological university. It is comprised of four main faculties, sub-divided into departments which deal with specific academic and research areas. The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Physics within the Faculty of Science are the main departments engaged in space activities. Strength in space research and technology spans a broad range of programmes delivered through the Strathclyde Space Institute which is a multi-disciplinary venture addressing key challenges in space systems engineering, space robotics, satellite applications and access to space. The institute comprises: the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory; the Centre for Future Air-Space Transport Technology; the Space Mechatronic Systems Technology Laboratory (SMeSTech); and the Centre for Space Science and Applications. Its space-related facilities include a Mission Laboratory, a Concurrent and Collaborative Design Studio, SMeSTech, and SCAPA, a multi-species radiation testing facility that is a potential game-changer for testing radiation detectors, components and subsystems in a realistic space radiation environment.
Strathclyde regards the four facilities summarised above as important contributors to the UK facilities landscape:
Its Mission Lab containing the CubeSat flatsat enables the development of proof-of-concept payloads and satellite systems for future CubeSat missions. Additionally, it will provide ad‐hoc and ongoing support for academic institutions, start‐ups and SMEs to develop new payloads for CubeSats. This will mitigate the need for significant up‐front investment that might otherwise be necessary to demonstrate new technology concepts.
The CDDS will provide a unique multi‐disciplinary environment for designing and optimising space missions and systems and develop new methods and approaches to improve performance, resilience and reliability of space systems and services. It will provide computational tools and expert support to Industry and Academia to demonstrate the feasibility of new missions, technologies and services and to improve the design of future space platforms.
Mechatronics has been established as key technology in developing many intelligent systems and in particular for consumable products. There is much scope and many opportunities for its applications - in particular in space explorations
The potential improvement in radiation testing space components, subsystems and detectors in a realistic multi-species space radiation environment using LPAs in the SCAPA facility promises to be a big step forward in the quality of radiation testing in the UK.

The most notable health benefits of balsam of peru essential oil include reduced inflammation, prevention of infection, wound healing, healthy respiratory system, skin care, dental health, and hemorrhoid treatment.
This essential oil is derived from a resinous substance called Balsam of Peru, which comes from a tree in Central and South America that is scientifically known as Myroxylon balsamum. This is probably not the most widely known or used essential oil, as it is not globally exported on a level equivalent to more popular essential oils. However, it is very potent and has an impressive range of health benefits, as well as its limited role as a food flavoring agent in certain dishes.
The smell of Balsam of Peru essential oil is something like vanilla and cinnamon, and perhaps a touch of clove. The oil is dark brown in color and has a very enjoyable smell. As with most essential oil, Balsam of Peru essential oil can be either diffused or topically applied, but the very enjoyable scent of this essential oil makes it a favorite for diffusion in aromatherapy mixtures. It blends well with many other types of oils.
The reason people go out of their way to get their hands on Balsam of Peru essential oil is that it has a diverse range of medicinal effects. This essential oil has antioxidant, antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulant, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and expectorant qualities, which means that it has a functional use in many different types of health situations for people around the world.
Let's take a closer look at some of these impressive health benefits below.
This may not be the most powerful aspect of Balsam of Peru's medicinal effects, but studies have shown that the oil can stimulate the immune system and helps eliminate free radicals throughout the body. This can help in preventing the development of chronic diseases.
The active ingredients in Balsam of Peru essential oil have been connected with the elimination of germs and bacteria, cleansing areas that may be susceptible to invasion or infection. By topically applying this to the skin, it can form a protective layer for your body's largest organ. This is also why Balsam of Peru essential oil is so widely used in the prevention/treatment of scabies, often caused by mites. Balsam of Peru essential oil is commonly considered anti-mite, as this is one of the most popular applications in its original countries.
If you suffer from any sort of respiratory affliction, the expectorant nature of Balsam of Peru essential oil may be precisely what you need. As a diffused form in aromatherapy, Balsam of Peru essential oil can stimulate the lungs to expel any and all collected phlegm, which also clears out congestion in the respiratory tracts. Phlegm and mucus catch germs and bacteria, allowing them to grow and become more serious. Balsam of Peru essential oil helps you get healthy and stay that way faster.
Balsam of Peru essential oil has long been turned to for relief from mental afflictions, particularly nerves, anxiety, and stress. A session of aromatherapy inhalation will allow Balsam of Peru essential oil to induce hormonal shifts and reduce the stress hormones in your system, thereby allowing you to calm down and giving your body a break from the exhausting state of stress.
The anti-inflammatory qualities of Balsam of Peru essential oil are numerous, ranging from the topical application at wounds or aching joints to internal results of its use in the form of lower blood pressure and increased heart health. The anti-inflammatory nature of Balsam of Peru essential oil may, in fact, be its most versatile and essential trait. This is particularly important for people who suffer from hemorrhoids, as this is a popular curative approach to that uncomfortable condition.
A substance that can help the body clear out toxins from the body is always a good thing, so the diuretic nature of Balsam of Peru essential oil is beloved by those who need to flush out toxins, waste, and excess water and fat from their bodies. By inducing urination, Balsam of Peru essential oil ensures that you are keeping your kidneys working hard and remaining healthy.
Balsam of Peru essential oil is often mixed with water and washed into the hair, where it helps to eliminate dead skin cells and cleanse the scalp, preventing the further development of dandruff.
Due to its pleasant aroma and taste, as well as its antibacterial, astringent, and antiseptic qualities, Balsam of Peru essential oil is a popular ingredient in dental hygiene products, as it can help eliminate dangerous bacteria and infections from the teeth and gums.
Word of Caution: Despite the wide range of use for this essential oil, Balsam of Peru essential oil is also one of the most allergenic substances that we know of. Many people can have negative reactions when exposed, which range from irritation to blisters, watery eyes, and general discomfort. Always speak to your medical professional before using Balsam of Peru essential oil and specifically ask if you can get a patch allergy test done first, to avoid any unpleasant aromatherapy experiences.

Helsinki is making the most of its new European Capital of Smart Tourism title–which it presumably won in a fierce Thunderdome-like competition–by pursuing new frontiers in digital tourism. The country is promoting its efforts at bringing in one million visitors to the Finnish capital. Visitors don't need to brave the Finnish winter to do so, though. Instead Helsinki wants tourists to visit via virtual reality.
While many tourist destinations have been using VR 360-videos to lure tourists to their fair cities for some time, Virtual Helsinki aims to do something broader. VR-Helsinki allows visitors to move about freely in the computer simulation of Helsinki, creating additional experiences. And, in the future, VR-Helsinki will serve as a digital platform that will enable other service providers to run their businesses.
"Visitors can tour Helsinki as it was in the early 20th century, or purchase Finnish design products and have them delivered to their homes by post," explains Miikka Rosendahl, CEO of ZOAN. The hope is that, in the near future, friends from around the world can plan a virtual trip to Helsinki together, virtually meeting in the virtual destination to have real fun.
Virtual Helsinki will be presented at the startup event Slush in December, and available to all VR-headset-wearing armchair tourists next year.

EVANESCENCE Will Use 2019 Live Shows As 'Good Fuel' For New Album Writing Sessions
EVANESCENCE has around two dozen live appearances scheduled this spring and summer, with plans to spend the rest of the time writing material for its long-awaited follow-up to 2011's self-titled effort.
"I just wanted to do some shows to get us back together, back rocking again, get our vibe on, back to our roots, so that we can really focus on spending time together in creation mode this year," singer Amy Lee told DC 101 in a new interview (hear audio below). "So, [we're] not doing too many shows in there. I don't want it to be a major distraction. I want it to be a good fuel to push us into album writing. And we're gonna have a little session right after this tour, and we'll have more throughout the year. So I'm excited."
She continued: "This tour is too short, like I said, but it's perfect, because it just makes us hungry to go do more. And even just being out here playing our show, but also doing some of these festivals and watching bands that we love and admire, like ROB ZOMBIE and KORN, it just puts us in the mood and it makes us feel inspired. It just makes us wanna go in there and create. So it's perfect. I'm very excited to work on the next thing."
Asked when fans can expect to see the next EVANESCENCE LP, Amy said: "I can't put a time frame on it, but we're working this year, with the goal of next year."
EVANESCENCE spent much of the last two years recording and touring in support of 2017's "Synthesis", which contained some of the band's best-loved songs — as well as a couple of new ones — reinvented with full orchestra over a deep electronic landscape.
"Synthesis" sold 34,000 equivalent album units in its first week of release to land at position No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart. Of that sum, 30,000 were in traditional album sales. EVANESCENCE's 2011 self-titled release debuted at No. 1. "Synthesis" was the group's fourth top 10 effort, following "Evanescence", "The Open Door" (No. 1 in 2006) and "Fallen" (No. 3, 2003).
Last year, Lee told the 93.3 WMMR Rocks! radio station that she wasn't opposed to the idea of releasing singles and EPs instead of full-length albums, especially as streaming services like Spotify continue to alter the way people consume music.
"I just think it's cool to be able to have this freedom to commit to less and do more," she said. "I'm totally open to doing a few songs instead of an album here and there, and see what happens."

Voting: Right or Privilege?
The Constitution mentions "the right to vote" five times. Judges, and voter ID law proponents, don't seem to be getting the hint.
By Garrett Epps
Which constitutional right is the most important? You might answer "freedom of speech" or "free exercise" of religion. Some think it's "the right to keep and bear arms." Criminal lawyers think of the guarantee against "unreasonable searches and seizures," trial lawyers of jury trial in civil cases.
But which right appears most often in the Constitution's text?
It's "the right to vote."
In voter ID cases all over the country, courts are considering the proper level of "scrutiny" to apply to "burdens" on the right to cast a ballot. In 2008, the Supreme Court approved an Indiana voter ID law, even conceding that it had a partisan basis, because it was not "excessively burdensome" to most voters. (Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for himself and Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, concurred separately to suggest that the proper level of scrutiny was more like "whatever the legislature wants.")
Courts will defer to the wishes of legislators who wish to protect the election process. There was no evidence of fraud in the Indiana case; there's none in the Pennsylvania case or the others currently being heard. State officials claimed to be worried that someone somewhere might think there was fraud.
This is deference to bureaucrats that neither courts nor citizens would tolerate where a right considered truly important is at stake. Consider the right to free speech. The majority in Citizens United brushed aside public perceptions of corruption to allow unlimited "independent expenditures," even though far more citizens are cynical about campaign donations than about "fraudulent" voters. What about freedom of religion? Would we tolerate licensing of churches so atheists won't worry that "fraudulent" religion is being practiced?
Scholars and courts often note that the Constitution nowhere says, "All individuals have the right to vote." It simply rules out specific limitations on "the right to vote." A right not guaranteed in affirmative terms isn't really a "right" in a fundamental sense, this reading suggests.
But if the Constitution has to say "here is a specific right and we now guarantee that right to every person," there are almost no rights in the Constitution. Linguistically, our Constitution is more in the rights-preserving than in the right-proclaiming business. The First Amendment doesn't say "every person has the right to free speech and free exercise of religion." In the Second, the right to "keep and bear arms" isn't defined, but rather shall not be "abridged." In the Fourth, "[t]he right of the people to be secure ... against unreasonable searches and seizures" isn't defined, but instead "shall not be violated." In the Seventh, "the right of (civil) trial by jury" -- whatever that is -- "shall be preserved." And so on.
In those terms, it ought to mean something that the right to vote is singled out more often than any other. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment imposes a penalty upon states that deny or abridge "the right to vote at any [federal or state] election ... to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, ... except for participation in rebellion, or other crime." The Fifteenth states that "[t]he right of citizens of the United States to vote" can't be abridged by race; the Nineteenth says that the same right can't be abridged by sex; the Twenty-Fourth says that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote" in federal elections can't be blocked by a poll tax; and the Twenty-Sixth protects "[t]he right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote."
So if our courts treat the ballot as less than a fundamental right, they aren't reading that in the Constitution, but projecting it onto the Constitution. The projection comes from a longstanding belief that the vote is not a "right," but a "privilege" -- something granted by the powerful to the deserving.
The "privilege" theory is one the United States regards as dangerous -- when practiced by other countries. After World War II, we imposed a constitution on Japan providing that "universal adult suffrage is guaranteed." The "Basic Law" of Germany gained a provision that "[a]ny person who has attained the age of eighteen shall be entitled to vote." The citizens of Afghanistan "have the right to elect and be elected." Article 20 of the 2005 Constitution of Iraq provides that "Iraqi citizens, men and women, shall have the right to participate in public affairs and to enjoy political rights including the right to vote, elect, and run for office."
Americans are more conflicted about our own voters than about those in Iraq or Germany. Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University, told me that since the country's founding, Americans have been torn between "voting as a right and voting as something that only the right people should do." Every step forward in human rights has given birth to a desire to "purify the electorate." Some Northern Republicans wanted to exclude "disloyal" pro-Southern Democrats and newly arrived immigrants from the ballot; Southern Democrats were adamant that freed slaves should not vote. As democratic devices like the referendum and initiative took hold in the 20th century, the pressure to purify grew. "The more you enhance the power, the more you want to make sure the right people vote," Foner said.
Harvard Professor Alex Keyssar, author of The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States, noted that the current moment bears a strong resemblance to the late 19th and early 20th century. Like the 1960s, the post-Civil War period brought an extension of the vote. In the generation following, "you have close national elections and a lot of competition -- and very, very high levels of immigration coming decades after the barriers to the vote have been lowered," he said. Even progressive reformers supported devices to make sure "ignorant" votes didn't swamp those of the educated. In some states, naturalized citizens were required to bring their naturalization papers to the polls, he noted; Northern states instituted literacy tests just like Southern ones.
The demographic panic of that era led by 1920 to a cutback on immigration and a crackdown on dissent. That same panic is loose today in a number of state capitals, as the population grows less white, less Anglophone, and less Christian. "Real" Americans -- who tend to vote Republican -- are afraid of being swamped by ethnic, religious, and racial "minorities." Those votes look might fraudulent all of a sudden.
Eric Foner notes that Americans like to regard our history as a steady, if slow, forward march for democracy. The reality is much more complex. "It's not just a story of expanding the right to vote. It has expanded and contracted," he says.
We may be living in one of the periods of contraction. If so, we should be aware that we are turning away from the text of our own fundamental law, from the only just basis for self-government, and from the standards of human rights Americans have tried, sometimes by force of arms, to impose on the rest of the world.

Lear among the spruces
July 16, 2021 by Terry Teachout
In today's Wall Street Journal, I review Shakespeare & Company's new outdoor production of King Lear, with Christopher Lloyd in the title role. Here's an excerpt.
With live theater productions opening throughout America, I gave much thought to how I would break the 16-month fast from public performance that began for me after I saw Katori Hall's "The Hot Wing King" off Broadway in March 2021, mere days before the Covid-19 lockdown. I wanted to review a show as special as the occasion itself, and I didn't have to look long to find it: Shakespeare & Company, located in the Berkshires, Massachussetts' center of summer theater, plus concerts, dance, and the visual arts, has opened its new 500-seat outdoor amphitheater with "King Lear." In it, Christopher Lloyd, who is 82 and is best known, despite his extensive stage credits, for his appearances in such popular films as "Back to the Future," plays for the first time the mad old king. Nor did I choose wrong: This "Lear," directed by Nicole Ricciardi, is one of the strongest productions of Shakespeare's all-encompassing super-drama of man's fate that I've seen in my 18 years as a drama critic….
"Lear" asks so much of its star, especially in the storm scene, that the role is normally played by a much younger man. Mr. Lloyd, to be sure, is no longer able to shake the rafters, for which reason the storm has been dialed back in sonic intensity. But he is still a magnificent performer who effortlessly projects his lines all the way to the back row of the amphitheater…

Michelangelo's middlebrow moment
In today's Wall Street Journal "Sightings" column, I write about how Irving Stone—and Charlton Heston—introduced Michelangelo to a generation of American readers and filmgoers. Here's an excerpt.
Like Shakespeare and Beethoven, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) is one of those giants of Western culture who is known by only one name—and not just to highbrows but pretty much everybody. Even those whose awareness of the visual arts is restricted to the Mona Lisa and "The Last Supper" are more than likely to also know that Michelangelo was the sculptor of "David" and the painter of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel ceiling. That double-barreled fact is the measure of his fame. But how do they know about Michelangelo? And how, for that matter, do they know Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy or the first movement of Beethoven's Fifth? It's been a long time since you could count on our schools to teach such things, or even to introduce their students to the notion of artistic greatness itself.
For Americans over 50 years old, the answer is a phenomenon called "middlebrow culture" that was fostered by radio, TV, magazines and the movies. From the '30s until well into the '70s, high culture was generally portrayed by the media not dismissively but with unironic respect—and in such a way as to suggest that anyone with a public-school education could enjoy it.
In the case of Michelangelo, it was a novelist who made all the difference….

Lookback: on returning to Annie Hall in adulthood
From 2004:
Alas, I found even less to like about Annie Hall this time around. Such innovations as the subtextual subtitles, the animated sequence, even the cameo by Marshall McLuhan now strike me as cutesy. Far more exasperating, though, is Allen's both-sides-of-the-street portrayal of his neuroses, which he pretends to mock while actually reveling in them, proving as they do that he is not as other men…


The Port San Luis Harbor District is seeking a developer for a proposed 32-acre RV resort and campground at Avila Beach on the Central California coast. The site, named Harbor Terrace, is on a bluff with panoramic views of San Luis Obispo Bay. It could have as many as 126 RV and cabin sites, 56 campsites and 16,000 square feet of hospitality and retail uses. The harbor district and the California Coastal Conservancy have formed a partnership to expedite the project, with a draft environmental report due this month. Deadline for developers to submit proposals is Oct. 9. Information can be found at portsanluis.com/harbor-terrace.

Q: QuickBlox: How to keep alive app in background? I am using QuickBlox SDk for chat app. When app goes to background mode, I could not receive chat messages. So I want to keep alive app in background mode.
I know the way to keep alive app in background for VOIP based app.
Also I got a useful link for XMPP to support background mode. But for that we need to interact with XMPP framework but with QuickBlox SDK we don't need to directly interact with XMPP frameworks.
So, What is the possible way to keep alive app in background using QuickBlox SDK ?

A: You will be online in XMPP while your device send XMPP presence.
[[QBChat instance] sendPresence];

After 90 seconds from last presence session is closed.
I think you can create background task with presence timer (but this will work for 10 minutes. After that time will spend you can try recreate background task for next 10 mins and etc., but I don't check if this work). This is Perform finite-length tasks from Ray's site.
