The British colour bar
Ms. Gopal again and her knowledge of history:
In the postwar period, the colour bar in hotels and other public spaces was challenged by people like the famous cricketer Learie Constantine, who won a landmark judgment.
Britain never did have a colour bar. This wasn't Jim Crow, you know, that was some other group of wipipo. As was apartheid some other group. Sure, we all look the same but really, you should be able to distinguish.
Constantine booked into a hotel, having been assured that his colour was not a problem. Then the actual management of the hotel on the spot insisted it was. After remonstration etc he moved to another hotel owned by the same company.
So, clearly not a bar in law nor by the hotel chain. Racism, yes, clearly. The case was breach of contract, having taken his booking and not supplying the room. He won.
This is many things including a righteous biff on the nose to racism. It's also not proof of a colour bar having existed.

Maybe Ms Gopal should forget history & concentrate on the present. There were dance clubs you wouldn't get into if you were the wrong colour in both Vauxhall & Islington, when I was in London. And that's just the two of I knew of, for certain. No doubt there were more & they still exist. Of course the wrong colour here is white. Does that somehow make it OK?

At what point does an 'academic' become such a laughing stock that their university declines to employ them? I think we might soon find out.
Dodgy Geezer October 14, 2020 at 8:39 am
I read the Guardian report on this incident and the Wiki entry. Both major woke entities, and perfectly capable of misrepresenting facts to support a story of a 'racist' Britain. And yet they do not seem to do so.
The Guardian made it clear that the discrimination came from the hotel manager, and was not institutionalised in any way by the authorities of the day – in fact the Colonial Office and Ministry of Labour (two government departments involved) both stressed that government policy was firmly agaianst racial discrimination of any kind. So that sounds simply like personal discrimination….
But wait a moment… The Wiki entry has something further. Apparently the reason for his move was NOT that a manager had taken a dislike to him on account of his skin. Some people certainly had – they were Americans staying at the same hotel, who kicked up a fuss at having to share the same building with one of our darker coloured brothers. The manager was put in an impossible position, and had tried to square the circle by having Learie Constantine moved to another hotel in the same chain.
At that time (1948) I believe that The Meissen Bison (above) was quite right. British people held no animosity towards blacks. But they were in hock to America, depended on American money, and needed to somehow work with Americans, who really did see blacks as sub-human. If there is any story there, it is that of American discrimination and segregation causing problems for blacks in a welcoming Britain….

Racism was rare in the UK and by the 1990s it was gone except for a few dinosaurs.
Can't say the same now. Racism was reintroduced into the UK by our goverment under their +ve discrimination policies and now it is back and it isn't going to be going away anytime soon.

There were plenty of "No blacks, Irish or dogs" signs in post-war Britain. Not actually evidence of colour bars. Evidence of discrimination, yes. But not based on colour.
That bar's set pretty high. Professor Sponge Bob, Chair of Marine Sciences at Cambridge is a real possibility.

Dodgy Geezer Said:
". If there is any story there, it is that of American discrimination and segregation causing problems for blacks in a welcoming Britain…."
Wasn't there some of that during the war as well? Yanks complaining about British lack of racial discrimination and trying to make us bar their black servicemen from pubs etc.?

The problem with black history is that it it is really anti white history and (like Brexit and other populisms ) seeks to evade responsibility for now by blaming some "other".
This article, like so many others speaks of the cruelty of colonialism and slavery as if they were the same phenomenon.They did not happen ( in Africa ) at the same time. Slavery was conducted by black Africans. Not until the gun boat and quinine was Africa colonised .
There is no simple goody and baddy story and its gets worse . This kind of infantilising narrative essentially casts White people technology capitalism as the snake and the innocents of Africa as the Eden
The irony is that the conception of the innocent primitive or "Noble Savage" is a Western Romantic one( Rousseau notably ) . To African people of the time they were not black people ,they were just people.
I am all for black history but if we are going to ditch comforting narratives, lets ditch them all
@ken You will be unable to prove your assertion, in the unlikely event that you are interested in trying. This is because it is an urban legend.
Tim Worstall October 14, 2020 at 9:15 am
If there were plenty of such signs then we should have more evidence than the one single photograph we do have.
No blacks, sure, there was discrimination. But the specific trio is vastly more likely to be legend than true.

One of my favourite Bill Tidy cartoons is of a gentleman in full B&W minstrel get-up on the doorstep of a boarding house. The landlady is pointing to a sign stating "No blacks, no Irish " and saying 'Can't you read O'Shaunessy!'
On a more serious note, I recall seeing graffiti demanding 'No colour bar' in London back in the 50s.

I saw a "Who Do You Think You Are" a few years ago, featuring Moira Stuart, her of the beautiful Caribbean voice.
She had a photo of an ancestor who read Medicine at Edinburgh. There he was with his dark-skinned pals. She decided that late 19th century Scotland had Apartheid.
Lovely voice, but thick as bricks.

No blacks no Irish
In London I've come across an African landlord who wouldn't rent to West Indians and an Irish lady who wouldn't rent to Irish guys. When your own kind think you're a crap tenant…
Gopal – she's the arse who complained that when she walked into King's Cambridge the porter addressed her as Madam instead of Dr. She clearly believes that white folks are equipped with a secret Doctorate Detector so that they know which stranger walking into College has one.

In defence of Gopal I've experienced the same sense of entitlement amongst RAF officers. Many, many years ago when I was in the Air Training Corps I went on a summer camp to an RAF station. Some pillock whizzed by in a car. A complaint was later received that we didn't salute him. Kind of hard when it's impossible to work out easily who's in the car. I don't suppose it's unique to the RAF either.
rhoda klapp October 14, 2020 at 10:44 am
A pal of mine was blown up in NI. Luckily his injuries were limited to his right elbow. He used to seek out officers to walk past and not salute, knowing that when challenged he had in his pocket a 'No saluting' chit.

Tbh, I don't give a shit about racism in the 1940's, but neither does Priyamvada Gopal.
The whole point of this stuff is animosity towards wypipo. But if wypipo are dumb enough to let a Mekon-headed Hindoo from a country that still has a functioning caste system and where rape is the third most popular sport to lecture them on morality, then crack on.

Where is the "Thank you for changing?"
Should make you think changing was a mistake.
Dwelling on a past that doesn't exist anymore is to shame you in the present, for what you didn't do. CM plan to convince you the UK is bad, so you will accept its destruction.
It's not about race. It's about, "Fvck you, I'm going to destroy your country."
I happen to like UK. I think it a great and important country. I don't think it should be destroyed because a man had to change hotels.

@RichardT:
Indeed. The Yanks enforced a particularly repulsive racial segregation which was unacceptable to the British people – but we needed them in the war with us. The Brits naturaly sided with the black soldiers – at the famous Battle of Bamber Bridge the townspeople supported the blacks against their white officers. From the Wiki: "..The people of Bamber Bridge supported the Black troops, and when American commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, all three pubs in the town reportedly posted "Black Troops Only" signs…"

"Except that there weren't. / Even the 'Guardian' doesn't believe this one!"
Few of us here will know the facts of the time, but I personally know Irish whose parents specifically upheld that sentiment quite categorically (North London).
And lots of reported anecdote if one googles?
https://historum.com/threads/no-blacks-no-irish-no-dogs-no-facts.73110/
Further to Penry's speculation that the "No Irish" signs might be urban legend, I can drive 10 miles up the road to have a cup of tea with my dad (he's 81 now), who left Ireland in the 1950s to work in England. He will attest that, yes, there were signs saying "No blacks, no Irish, no dogs" aplenty. Unfortunately, he didn't see fit to take photos as he was busy trying to make enough money to feed and clothe his wife and 3 kids back home.
He even gave me the context. The signs were typically in the windows of landlady-owned bed & breakfast establishments. The Irish tenants (or 'lodgers', as they were more typically called at the time) were often labourers on the railways or building sites. As such, they were, ahem, rum characters. My dad was a ganger (a.k.a. foreman) on a railway maintenance crew and the reputation of the Irish labourers amongst the landladies was bad enough that he had a divil of a job finding digs for them all. Often, he'd get some lads into digs, they'd go out of a night and get scuttered, before rolling back to their lodgings. Somewhere between entering the front door and going to bed, various breakages (cups, chairs etc) would happen.

"He will attest that, yes, there were signs saying "No blacks, no Irish, no dogs" aplenty."
Could be but then there were plenty of ancient Welshmen who claimed to have witnessed the machine-gunning of miners at Tonypandy by the troops Churchill had sent for that very purpose. And it's well known to be bollocks.
Then there's the sign from pre-revolutionary Shanghai banning dogs and Chinese from part of the city. There's a photo of that. Yet eventually the CCP admitted that the sign was bogus – they'd produced it themselves. (Which makes sense – how many dogs and Chinese could read English?)
You have to admire the Brahmins. Many are at the forefront of this latest anti-whitey offensive, which is clever as it distracts everyone from their own eye-watering discrimination and position of power at the top of the Caste system.
Chris Miller October 14, 2020 at 3:21 pm
Through the 50s and most of the 60s there were (to a very good approximation) no black people in Britain to discriminate against. There were a few dock areas – East End, Tiger Bay, bits of Glasgow and Liverpool – with a significant population, but elsewhere you would never encounter a black face. I grew up during this period in Blackburn (now 30+% Muslim) and the first black people I ever encountered were as a teenager – the West African stewards serving lunch on my dad's ship (he was on the West Africa run for most of his working life). I knew what they looked like (I'd read Little Black Sambo as a nipper), but had never met one in the flesh.

The railway ganger anecdote supports arguments that what people declare to be racism is actually classism. We can't have Aaron in the golf club, he works in *trade* for God's sake.
Tractor Gent October 14, 2020 at 5:24 pm
ChrisM: My experience too – no black kids in our school, this in the 60s. Every year we used to get a French assistante to help school us in the language. They were usually very attractive young ladies, a cruel thing to do to us hormonally imbalanced teenage lads! Anyway one day before the summer, the headmaster came in the classroom and asked if we knew someone who could put up a black French guy who was to be the assistante the following year. He must have succeeded as next term this French African appeared, probably from Côte d'Ivoire or somewhere similar. I think he probably learned more about Northern English customs than we did about French pronunciation!
That he had to ask says something about prevailing attitudes then. He obviously had no problem finding digs for the young ladies.
Ummmm October 14, 2020 at 5:39 pm
@ken hasn't the photographer admitted he staged the infamous photo.
I did rather hilariously see an article complaining about racism/discrimination in advertising which turned out to be a complaint about prostitutes expressing that they wouldn't see certain types of clients in their adverts and how the law fails to tackle this issue

Who knows? The letter below the LMU one says that they found no archival evidence. Still it seems likely discrimination was not on the basis of colour, but on broader criteria.
So Much For Subtlety October 14, 2020 at 11:58 pm
Dodgy Geezer October 14, 2020 at 1:45 pm – "The Yanks enforced a particularly repulsive racial segregation which was unacceptable to the British people – but we needed them in the war with us."
I am intrgiued by the idea it was repulsive or unacceptable to the British people. What is the evidence for that?
The reality is somewhat different. Britain simply had no Blacks. Or very few. So accepting a small number of relatively well behaved Blacks was not an issue. Southern Americans lived with a lot more Blacks. Northern Americans a lot fewer. So naturally the laws were more strongly and openly formulated in the South than in Britain.
That is not a cause for self-congratulations by British people. After all, there were places where British people did live with a lot of Blacks. We tend to blame Apartheid on the Jaape but in Rhodesia White British people created a similar system under another name. As they did in Kenya. I am willing to bet that Jamaica and Guyana were not models of racial integration either.
The reality is just that White people cannot live with Black people. I do not know why this is. I do not blame it on genetics as perhaps Theo might. But it is the reality. Everywhere there is a large African-descended population, Whites flee. They are not stupid to do so either.
The British are determined to copy the Moriori, and will suffer the same fate, but if they want to survive they can only do so through some form of racial segregation. As every other White population in the world has worked out. It is not racism, or at least it is not just racism, it is the reality. You can call survival repulsive if you like. Maybe it is. But at least the repulsive will have surviving descendents to feel bad about it. You won't.

It seems that outrage over desolate islands is itself all the rage these days. There are the Kuril Islands, concerning which Moscow and Tokyo have issues; there are the Senkaku Islands amongst which Japan is quarreling with anyone who believes oil might lie beneath; and then there is the motherlode of the Spratly Islands which are claimed by Beijing and a near half-dozen others in the South China Sea.
Taken together, a casual observer could be forgiven having these largely uninhabited specks on the map entirely confused with one another. This is especially the case in regard to two other entrants in the litany of disputed atolls which were recently the focus of complex ownership negotiations between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, but by extension also involved Israel and the United States.
A pending compact includes both Tiran and Sanafir islands; the former being larger of the duo (80 square kilometers as compared to 33 square kilometers). Their general location is the demarcation of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, flanked by Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and westernmost edge of Saudi Arabia. The nearest city on shore familiar to most Westerners would be the (formerly) popular resort destination of Sharm el-Sheikh approximately 20 kilometers distant.
Much the same, from 1906 onwards Sanafir has been under Egyptian administration. Its military stationed there during the Second World War in order to protect the Suez Canal and again later as a counter to Israel. This met with the same consequences as for Tiran; capture and relinquishment.
Needless to say, actual title to the territories is ambiguous at best although as a practical matter they have been Egyptian by virtue of being so occupied and so associated in the popular mind for the better part of two centuries. Despite contemporary nominal detachments from Egypt as well as the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), the two islands are otherwise unpopulated.
So why are these otherwise insignificant isles in the news today? Because on April 9 a concord between Egypt and Saudi Arabia realigned both land masses as being within Saudi territorial waters.
The more important question for parties removed from these events is why transfer the islands at all? While very little in the Middle East is transparent, this situation is a little less opaque than most events. A Saudi-Egyptian Causeway is intended to eventually be built and serve as transportation corridor connecting the continents; the projected cost of which is $4 billion. An important purpose separate from the obvious economic implications will be to offer another route for pilgrims making the Hajj (which may witness as many one million adherents pass over the alternative transit). Finally, there is a corollary subject of Sinai Peninsula population expansion. Though today at 1.4 million people, a lack of funds and opportunity has plagued a region still littered with landmines from wars of the twentieth century. Large areas which are now virtually unusable may thus be made so for innumerable of Egypt's millions.
As with anything governmental there remain a series of bureaucratic formalities to be accomplished. Foremost, transference of the islands must be ratified by the Egyptian Parliament. Moreover, Israel will have a say as transfer impacts its sea guarantees. (Though to forestall upsets Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud in his capacity as Saudi Defense Minister informed Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail that Saudi Arabia would consider itself bound by all articles of the preceding covenants.) At this time the Israeli stance is any proposed handover does not conflict the 1979 treaties with Egypt. Additionally, there are likely to be objections that environmentalists will make.
It would not the first time the endeavor has been halted. In 2005 President Hosni Mubarak was forced to pause the deal due to Israeli objections. The plan was revived by his successor Mohamed Morsi until his removal from office caused another delay.
Yet the greatest opposition may come from the Egyptian people themselves. An already suspect President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi encountered throngs of dissenters to the pact across his nation on Friday. These were the largest demonstrations within the past two years; telling in a state which has harshly responded to criticisms from within. El-Sisi, who styles himself a patriot, was seen by many as having sold out his nation for the reported $16 billion in Saudi investment.
One of the more remarkable statements from the street during the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate protest was by Khled El-Balshy, leader of the Freedoms Committee, who told Ahram Online, "We have not forgotten that the regime cracks down (upon) freedoms in Egypt, but our main demand today is the cancellation of that agreement between the Egyptian government and Saudi Arabia." Thus, at least to some, a nationalism aroused by the fate of two near-deserted islands ranks higher than freedoms of speech, assembly and religion in Egypt. There is an analogy evident here for those who claim to be mystified over the visceral support Donald Trump inspires whenever he speaks of a wall with Mexico.
People everywhere (not merely Americans "clinging to guns and Bibles") have extreme psychological, almost emotional, responses concerning what they view as propriety nativist interests. Even the very poor, as many would consider the populace of Egypt, have a deep sense of ownership in their homeland: they may have nothing else, but they always have their country. Whenever they adjudge their elected leaders to be giving it away or allowing it to be taken from them there will be strong reactions which become increasingly fanatical the more those perceptions are dismissed or ridiculed.
It does not bode well for any President or political party to choose demonization over persuasion when endeavoring to convince the people that reallocating two small islands will lead to increased resources or that millions of immigrants may not necessarily negatively impact voters personally.
At the moment rallies in Egypt have been dispersed, though organizers intend to reconvene on April 25th to make further display of their displeasure. More disquieting to Egyptian officials should be that these were not sporadic disturbances in Cairo but were in fact highly coordinated and occurred throughout multiple cities. At present the numbers involved are much smaller than those during the "January 25 Revolution;" still to restore order government was required to call upon security services using tear gas with over 100 persons being placed under arrest. Ominously, throughout the day Twitter hashtag #Land_Friday (#جمعه_الارض) was trending not only in Egypt but globally with over 150,000 Tweets.
In some ways the island agreement is an inspiring signifier of hopeful (if incremental) peace in the Middle East. Although Saudi Arabia and Israel are not speaking, at least they are communicating through Egypt as intermediary. Likewise, clearing and developing the coastal Sinai Peninsula could increase internal Egyptian harmony as more people are provided with occupations and dwellings.
Yet in other ways el-Sisi has stirred the never-quite-sleeping giant of nationalism in the Middle East. His dismissive attitude toward the genuinely passionate concerns of his people was a dangerous mishandling of a delicate situation. Whether the ultimate issue can be resolved intelligently will depend less on how the President communicates with foreign Heads of State and more upon whether he listens with understanding to the demonstrators in closer proximity.
One largely overlooked aspect of the arrangement is no formal changes in ownership will take place until at least 65 years from now. Naturally, don't expect construction on the causeway to be delayed quite that length of time. However one suspects the dates were chosen quite deliberately in order to ease anxieties over the loss of two relatively inconsequential islands and allow in the meantime public ardor to be pacified by the commercial palliative of several decades of increased employment, new homes and passages to Mecca filled with fond memories.

text:
Une idylle (du grec ancien , littéralement « petit poème », de , « forme ») est, à l'origine, un genre poétique de l'Antiquité grecque. Il s'agit de poèmes inspirés par la poésie pastorale de Théocrite, considéré comme le fondateur du genre. De forme courte et d'inspiration bucolique, proche de l'églogue, l'idylle porte sur la vie rustique ou les amours des bergers. Néanmoins, il peut également porter sur d'autres sujets : certaines Idylles de Théocrite sont ainsi des chants de louange en l'honneur de souverains. Le genre a été popularisé par les auteurs latins, qui lui ont donné son nom : Ausone, Calpurnius, Virgile ou encore Catulle.

Par extension, après l'Antiquité gréco-romaine, une idylle est une œuvre contemplative d'inspiration bucolique, que ce soit en littérature, en peinture ou en musique. Ainsi, les romans champêtres de George Sand (La Mare au diable ou Les Maîtres sonneurs, par exemple) sont des idylles, ainsi que les Idylles du roi d'Alfred Tennyson, composées au sujet du roi Arthur. La peinture des idylles s'est développée au  après le rococo.

Le terme est passé dans le langage courant, une idylle désignant un amour tendre et naïf vécu affectivement par deux êtres dans la fraîcheur d'un sentiment idéalisé.

Falling for a man who lives across the world.
So I have been talking to this guy online through a app for 3 weeks. He lives in South America and I'm in England. This app was for exchanging languages with native speakers as I'm trying to learn Spanish. When we first started messaging he we were learning off eachother but then that stopped and we started talking about other things. We then started sending voice notes and he was very sweet and charming and we have exchanged some photos and numbers.
The only problem is he has 'joked' a number of times that maybe I should become his wife that way he can work in the UK and be permanent . When I say no he just says I'm only joking . Deep down I'm starting to think is this what his intention is. I blocked him a few weeks ago because I was thinking this is weird but then I have started talking to him again because I miss him and I just feel attracted to him. He is coming to the UK in a few months but I don't know whather to just cut this off altogether .
Better to get to know him first.
Agreed get to know him better first I have had issues with trusting women across the world and I got my heart stomped on.

Democrats Stump for Violence Against Women Act
Posted Apr 16, 2012 3:09 PM
Steven T. Dennis
@StevenTDennis
The 10 Poorest Members of Congress (Video) Obama Touts Iran Deal 'Adoption Day' Obama Deflects Comment on Clinton, Biden
Democrats and the White House are intensifying their push to expand the Violence Against Women Act this week, giving them a chance to flip the narrative on women's issues that went awry for the party last week.
Despite strong poll numbers showing female voters favoring President Barack Obama over presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney by double digits, the White House found itself on defense after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen said last week that would-be first lady and stay-at-home mom Ann Romney has "never worked a day in her life."
The looming fight over the Violence Against Women Act gives Democrats a chance to refocus on women's policy issues, where they believe they have an upper hand against Romney and the GOP that will last through Election Day.
Vice President Joseph Biden, who wrote the original 1994 VAWA, will headline an event pushing for the bill's reauthorization Wednesday at the White House. Attorney General Eric Holder, top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and other top administration officials and supporters from around the country will also participate.
"The vice president has often said this is the legislative achievement he is most proud of," a White House official noted. The official added, "I've seen women come up to him and whisper, 'Thank you'" for helping them get out of an abusive situation.
The White House is hoping that an appeal to the bipartisan nature of the bill — eight Republican Senators have signed on so far — and the issue of public safety will get it across the finish line, despite objections from conservatives.
"Everybody wants to protect people's safety. Once you put it in that context, these things are easier to work out," the official said, adding that lawmakers are hearing back home on the issue as well.
Biden noted the Violence Against Women Act last week when he was asked about the Rosen remark on MSNBC's "The Ed Show."
"Whether it's Violence Against Women Act or equal pay, my entire career as a Senator and as vice president is to get to one point, where my daughter is able to make whatever choice she wants and no one question it. ... If my daughter wants to be able to say, 'I'm staying home and raising my kids,' no one should question it," Biden said.
President Barack Obama also pointed to the bill in remarks he made April 6 at a conference on women at the White House.
"When something like the Violence Against Women Act — a bill Joe Biden authored, a bill that once passed by wide bipartisan margins — is suddenly called to question, that makes no sense. ... That's not something we should still be arguing about," Obama said to cheers.
But Senate Republicans opposed the bill in the Judiciary Committee because the new version — which has 61 co-sponsors — expands the bill in several ways, including provisions aimed at protecting gays, lesbians, transgendered people, Native Americans and battered immigrant women.
The GOP is promising an effort on the Senate floor to strip those and other new provisions, with Congressional Quarterly reporting last month that Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) is taking the lead. The Senate could take up the measure sometime next week.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) has sought to downplay the partisan tensions, touting his original co-sponsor, Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), and his Republican co-sponsors.
"Domestic and sexual violence knows no political party," Leahy said March 22. Additionally, White House officials denied a political motive for the bill but said Republicans will have difficulty justifying their opposition.
Ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has made it clear that Republicans do not intend to block the bill but want to offer their amendments. Grassley accused Democrats in a statement of "manufacturing another partisan, political crisis."
If the bill gets through the Senate, as seems likely, there's no guarantee it will move in the House — at least not without some significant modifications.
House Democrats are keeping up their own offensive on the bill, with Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) leading the charge last month with an emotional appeal on the chamber floor.
"Violence against women is as American as apple pie. And I know not only as a legislator who — but from my own personal experience, violence — domestic violence — has been a thread throughout my personal life, up to and including being a child repeatedly sexually assaulted, up to and including being an adult who has been raped."
Democrats staged a protest vote pushing for consideration of the bill on the House floor, and a Democratic aide said today that there will be more to come.

The Mid Rise Dazzler by Mother Denim are the dream jean for a trans seasonal wardrobe. The jeans are featured in a mid rise, with a slight flare at the ankle in a cropped style and a five pocket design. Style with the Sinful Tee from the same collection for the go-to-girl vibe.


Simpson K Abraham, coordinator with the Federal States of Micronesia says that with 80% of the islands' settlements and 75% of the infrastructure along the coast they are very vulnerable to sea level rise and tidal surges.
"We are assessing our adaptation options, building sea walls, building houses on stilts, fortifying eroded land or relocating settlements. We don't really have many options. We hope the international community can give us some assistance," said Abraham.

LAX gunman planned to kill many agents
News World LAX gunman planned to kill many agents
8:25pm, Nov 3, 2013 Updated: 7:18am, Nov 4
The gunman who allegedly killed a security officer at Los Angeles airport carried a note saying he planned to murder "multiple" agents, prosecutors said as they announced charges against him.
A prosecutor told how Paul Ciancia allegedly opened fire at "point-blank range" on Gerardo Hernandez, the first Transportation Security Administration agent killed since the office was created following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The dead officer's widow, meanwhile, said she was "truly devastated" by his death.
"He was a joyful person, always smiling and took pride in his duty to the American public," Ana Hernandez said.
Ciancia, who used a Smith & Wesson assault rifle and a large stock of ammunition in the attack, faces a possible death penalty on charges of murdering a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport.
The gun rampage on Friday triggered chaos at LA International Airport (LAX), disrupting more than 1500 flights. The airport only fully reopened more than 24 hours later.
Describing how the shooting started, a prosecutor said Ciancia pulled a ".223-calibre M and P-15 assault rifle out of his bag and fired multiple rounds at point-blank range" at Hernandez, 39.
The shots wounded the unarmed TSA officer but did not kill him. The 23-year-old gunman, dressed in black and wearing a bullet-proof vest, then went up a nearby escalator and came back down to "shoot the wounded officer again," US attorney Andre Birotte said.
Ciancia then proceeded further into the terminal, shooting four more people, including two other TSA officers, before being detained following a gunfight with airport police.
The alleged gunman, who remains in hospital and has not yet answered questions from investigators, carried a note in his bag indicating that "he targeted especially TSA officers," for whom he felt "anger and malice".
The handwritten note showed he "made a conscious decision to kill multiple TSA employees", said David Bowdich, the head of the FBI's Los Angeles office.
"In the note that was handwritten by the defendant, that was signed by the defendant, we found a statement where he made a conscious decision to kill multiple TSA employees," Bowdich said.
"He addressed them at one point in the letter, and stated that he wanted to 'instil fear into their traitorous (sic) minds'."
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Ciancia had a lot of ammunition when he was arrested.
During the shooting spree, which lasted less than 10 minutes, Ciancia approached a number of people cowering in the terminal and pointed his gun at them, asking if they "were TSA", according to the Los Angeles Times.
If they answered "no" he moved on, the Times reported, citing witnesses who said he cursed the TSA repeatedly.
While officials have not released details about the suspect's condition, the Times said he was hospitalised in a critical condition after being shot in the head and leg.
The FBI said Ciancia was a Los Angeles resident who was originally from the eastern state of New Jersey.

A short look at 2016

A short look at 2016 Another year has come and is nearly gone. Check out this story on wisfarmer.com: https://www.wisfarmer.com/story/opinion/columnists/2016/12/14/short-look-2016/95411924/
John Oncken, Columnist Published 11:25 a.m. CT Dec. 14, 2016
Part of the 80-foot mural painted in 1948 that still adorns Hennesey Implement in Monroe(Photo: John Oncken)
Another year has come and is nearly gone. During this past year, I've visited a great assortment of farms, attended a wide variety of meetings and, most important, have met so many interesting people all with fascinating stories to tell.
In many of these weekly columns, I ran short of space before I ran out of subject matter, so this week, I'll add some words and review special stories that remain in my thoughts.
The magnificent mural
You don't see 80-foot-long painted murals on the walls of a farm equipment dealership very often. In fact, I know of only one. It overlooks the parts department of Hennessey Implement (formerly Studer Super Service) in Monroe.
It was in 1948 when Ernest Studer noted a mural that had been painted on the wall in a tavern across the street from his farm implement business and met Herman Wall, the man who had painted it. Wall asked if anyone else would like a mural painted. Studer invited Wall to to come over to his office and see if they could work something out.
The result was the large mural — an 80-foot-long and 5-foot-high western scene — on parts of three walls across from the parts counter. "It took him 72 hours to paint the huge mural," Fred Studer (Ernest Studer's son) said. "I don't know who he was or what we paid him, but he was obviously very talented."
Do customers at this farm equipment dealership look at the intriguing art work, and do they admire it as I did and wonder about the mysterious artist? And are there other such murals in Wisconsin? It would not seem that the artist would have done but two murals. I still wonder.
A story from the heart
"In 1982, Bill and Kathy Endres bought the 320-acre farm near Waunakee in Dane County that had been in his family since 1898.
"We bought the farm on a land contract," Bill said. "We had ownership of a 50-cow operation, and my mother had a regular income for years.
"By the mid 80s, we had expanded to 150 cows, added a freestall, bunkers and more buildings. Kath met with sales people, designed the breeding program and managed everything. I was the worker. "
In May 1995, Kathy died, and Bill turned to several consultants to assist with the farming operation and hired Joe Ziegler, a local farm boy who was dating his daughter Heather, as a full-time hired man.
"They married in 1997 and became seriously involved in the farm," Bill said. "He really knows cows."
Things went well on the dairy farm, and Bill suggested the Zieglers become 50/50 partners with him in the farm business. "I saw it as a logical move, and I put everything in to it," he said.
On Jan. 1, 2003, Woodland Creek Dairy LLC was formed, and the beginning of the transition to the next generation began.
"Many farmers resist giving up ownership until it is too late and the farm is sold. I felt it was something I just had to do," Bill said. "We respect each other and make joint decisions ... it works well."
Today, Bill Endres, Joe Ziegler and longtime employee Stefan Endres run the farm and are milking 190 cows. The Zieglers have three daughters, and Bill and wife Deb (a teacher in the Waunakee school system), who were married in 1998, live in a modern home about a half mile from the farmstead.
Endres believes every farm family should plan for the future of their family farm business, especially if they have family members who would or could be the next generation. Wise words from a very wise farmer.

The big, black cow
Gigi, the big, black Holstein, was calmly standing in her box stall at Bur-Wall Holsteins, a 60-cow registered Holstein dairy near Brooklyn in Green County, when I visited her last spring. Wallace Behnke, who had bought Gigi's dam as a calf in 2004, introduced me to "the queen."
The world milk record holder "Gigi" produced 74,650 pounds of milk. She lives at Bur-Wall farm in Brooklyn owned by Wallace (pictured), Donna, Bob and Denise Behnke. (Photo: John Oncken)
And a true queen she is having produced a Holstein record of 74,650 pounds of milk in her previous 365-day lactation on twice-a-day milking and no added rBST. That's a ton and a half more milk than the previous record holder.
Three years ago, Wallace and Donna Behnke sold the dairy cows and heifers to son Bob and Denise, but Bur-Wall Holsteins remains a family operation, and Gigi rests on her laurels.
Organic, local and non-GMO
The event was the 24th annual Community Supported Agriculture Open House held annually in Madison in February. There were several dozen CSA farmers promoting their products — ranging from eggs to meat to vegetables — to potential customers who could contract for a weekly box of food during the 20- to 26-week growing season. And the CSA farmers are paid in full before the crop is planted.
A yearly cost of $500-600 for a weekly box of organic vegetables (lettuce, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, melons and whatever is in season) seems (to me) like a lot of money for a young family. I asked many buyers, and here's why:
"We know where our vegetables come from because we've visited the CSA farm."
"I just don't like big farms. The animals are mistreated and the meat isn't as good as that I buy from a farmer."
"I want organic food that's not loaded with pesticides and other chemicals. You can't trust those big chemical companies that sell farmers the chemicals they use on their crops. Maybe the chemicals will grow bigger crops, but what will they do to me years later?"
And buying only non-GMOs (genetically modified organisms) was a universal want.
Yes, it's about the food; yet, I think there is another reason: Buying food direct from a farmer is a way of getting out of the big, fast, merry-go-round business world and schedule-filled home life and back to simpler things in life.
I learned much from this side of consumer wants, but needless to say, I did not explain that I often wrote about modern farming and big farms.
My recent column of Nov. 11 told the story of Bryanna and Dylan Handel, who are milking Jersey cows on a farm near Barneveld that they bought in August. And how 25-year-old Bryanna is the cow person who began buying cattle in high school, while Dylan (age 26), who works off the farm, is the crop and machinery specialist and 15-month-old Elizabeth tags along learning about farming.
Lyle John, son of Dylan and Bryanna Handel and brother of Elizabeth, was born Dec. 6 and has already been in the dairy barn on the family dairy in Barneveld. (Photo: John Oncken)
During our conversation, Bryanna said she was going to have a baby in December. Well, she did. Lyle John was born on Dec. 6, and as she promised, Bryanna was back milking on the 10th. Wow!
Ross and Theresa Halverson in the second floor of the old feed mill they remodeled over a four-year period -- an impossible job completed. (Photo: John Oncken)
Just a few columns from 2016 that I'll not forget, and there are many more: farm auctions, the old feed remodeled into a home by Ross Halverson in Gotham, Cari Stebbins' round barn in Spring Green, the fried cheese curds in Monroe. It's much fun to hear, learn and write, and thanks for your calls and notes.

Athletic Trainers Protected From Malpractice Claims By Workers' Compensation Immunity
A former NBA basketball player alleged that the team's head athletic trainer was negligent in treating an injury. The trainer asserted workers' compensation immunity from suit by a fellow employee. The plaintiff argued a licensed professional athletic trainer is not immune from malpractice claims because the Georgia Supreme Court had created an exception to § 34-9-11 when an injured employee brought a medical malpractice action against a company physician. The Court of Appeals, however, held there was no authority for concluding that the exception automatically applied whenever a co-employee was a professional who is subject to the authority of a professional licensing board, or for concluding that athletic trainers were, like physicians, classified as professionals whose foremost obligation was adherence to the public interest and whose professional status raised a unique duty of trust over and above the duties of co-employees. Accordingly, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's summary judgment to the trainer.

Helen Z. Handzel, passed away on Saturday March 16, 2019 at the Masonic Care Community.
She was born on May 14, 1926 in Dickson City, PA, the youngest of her siblings to John and Victoria Mondro (Madro) Zagraniczny. On September 11, 1948 she was united in marriage to Joseph P. Handzel in Holy Trinity Church, resulting in Seventy years of wedded joy. Helen was employed first at General Electric in Utica at the Broad St. plant, and later at Vick's Lithograph & Printing in Yorkville, until she retired just shy of twenty years of service.
Helen was a kind, loving woman who would not hesitate to help others when the need arose. This characteristic is best exemplified when Helen put her life on hold and freely accepted the responsibility of taking in and caring for her ailing mother in her home.
Helen was a lifelong parishioner of Holy Trinity Church in Utica where she was active in the making and selling of pierogis, the Polonaise Seniors, the Jan Robak Post #8 Ladies Auxiliary, and the West Side Senior Center.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Joseph Handzel, of Utica, her son and daughter –in- law, Richard and Doris Handzel of Baldwinsville and her daughter, Carol Schulze, of VT. ; her grandchildren, Lisa and Justin Jackson, Kari and Michael Schiano, and Dr. Michele Handzel, and husband, Adam Roeder, Andrew Schulze and his companion, Karen Chartrand, and Bradley Schulze. Also surviving are her two great grandchildren, Paul Jackson and Clara Jackson, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her siblings and their spouses, Mary and Walter Pawloski, Joseph and Regina Zagraniczny, Stanley and Mary Zagraniczny and Stella and Stanley Romas; her in-laws, Adam and Joan Handzel, Walter and Jenny Handzel, Francis and Gladys Handzel and Mary and Mathew Kaczor.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Mass of Christian Burial which will be celebrated on Friday at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Trinity Church. Those who wish may call on Friday morning on hour prior to the Mass. Entombment will take place in Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum at Holy Trinity Cemetery.
Memorial contributions in her memory may be made to Holy Trinity Church, 1206 Lincoln Ave., Utica, NY 13502 or St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Pl., Memphis, TN 38105-9959.

This holy tide of Christmas all anger should efface."
Christmas time is a great time to think about Christian community and the bigger picture of God's plan for the salvation of mankind. That, after all, is what Christ's coming is all about. In Jesus, God became one of us so that He might walk among us, heal us of our iniquities, create us anew, transfer us into the kingdom of His love, and make us part of a new humanity. Of all the seasons of the year, Christmas is the best time to set our "Me-and-God" theology aside and discover afresh what it means to participate in the Global Brotherhood of the Redeemed.
Born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious kingdom bring."
According to Paul, the Baby born in Bethlehem was none other than "the Firstborn over all creation" (Colossians 1:15). The apostle goes on to say that this Child, our Messiah, is also "the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross" (Colossians 1:18-20).
What we have here is a picture of a grand triumphal procession, singing its way through the world of time and on into eternity, gathering to itself crowds of new marchers along the way. How do we join that procession and become part of the celebration? For anyone who grasps the real meaning of Christmas there can be only one answer: we have to step outside our private lives, reach out to our neighbors, and do something for and with other people.
Whether you realize it or not, this kind of outreach and involvement is both crucial to the health of your marriage and a strong indicator of its vitality. Thriving couples who love God and each other also care about loving people. In an important sense, the strength of the bond that holds you and your spouse together is directly related to the value you place on human relationships of every variety.
So remember: December is the season for giving; and love isn't love until you give it away.
Always act like you're trying to get a second date! Sometimes in marriage we forget that we need to pursue and "woo" our spouse. So dress up a bit. Be polite and open doors. Compliment one another. Be affectionate – hold hands, cuddle, and steal kisses. Remember to protect your date night from conflict by cutting off any arguments and agreeing to talk about the issue at a later time.
Step 1: Go someplace different for dinner.
Instead of visiting the same familiar locations and eating the same old food, pick somewhere new or try a different type of cuisine.
Step 2: Join the Triumphal Procession.
Retirement communities and nursing facilities are always grateful to have visitors. If you call ahead, it should be easy to set up a time when your group can stop by. Bring along a sampling of baked goods or some simple gifts and cards. If anyone in your group is musically inclined, take the opportunity to lead a few carols. If that's not your cup of tea, try spending the evening just talking with the residents and bringing a little Christmas cheer into their lives. You'll be amazed what an enriching experience it can be!
Get permission to walk the halls of the pediatric wing of a local hospital. Bake some cookies or wrap up some small toys as presents for the children in the ward. Sing carols. Read the Christmas story. Do anything you can, however small, to help the kids and their families experience the joy of the season.
Volunteer to help serve a holiday meal at a nearby homeless shelter, soup kitchen, or Rescue Mission. Take time to sit and talk with some of the folks in attendance. Listen to them and enter into their stories. As opportunities arise, share some of the details of your personal testimony with them. Look for a chance to draw them into the Good News of God's love as revealed in the biblical account of Christ's Nativity.
Step 3: Relax and unwind. Ready for a few questions?
After you bid a fond farewell to the other couple(s), find a quiet place for dessert or coffee to relax and emotionally connect through good conversation. Answer the following questions. Be sure to keep your responses positive, uplifting and encouraging.
What was your favorite part of the evening?
What is the one thing you learned tonight that you didn't know about me before?
How can we be more community-minded and invest in the lives of other people in our city and neighborhood in the days and weeks ahead?
As you drive home, spend time planning your next date. Think about additional ways you can share your lives with others and let them share their lives with you. Once you get home, however, it's up to you what happens next. Have a great final adventure!

By Will Smith had already solidified his reputation as one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood after starring in buddy-cop, action thrillers, and sci-fi films that were box office smashes. But he switched the game up by delving into the romantic comedy genre with the romantic comedy Hitch. In the film, Smith plays Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, a professional "date doctor" who teaches men how to sweep women off their feet, with the goal of establishing long-term relationships. Hitch is a master of creating the right circumstances for men to get the attention of the women of their dreams.
Hitch brings big laughs and hope to those who are still in search of that special someone and unlike most rom-coms, with Will Smith and Eva Mendes as the leads, two people of color were centered as stars in the film.
Online dating is a great way to meet people, but use these online dating safety tips and look out for online dating red flags to stay safe. Xavier RuddCinema.
The Molly-Andrew relationship is part of a larger cultural trend in which black women, especially those of medium-to-dark-brown complexions — long positioned at the bottom of the aesthetic and social hierarchy in the United States because of racist standards — are increasingly appearing as leading ladies and romantic ideals in interracial relationships onscreen.
In many ways, these romances push back against racial bias in the real world. In , the online dating site OkCupid updated a study that found that of all the groups on its site, African-American women were considered less desirable than, and received significantly fewer matches than, women of other races. These works grapple with race in very different ways.
While their union, in part, reflected the landmark ruling Loving v. The passionate rendering of that couple recognized racial difference only to transcend it. In the final seasons, Fitz was so in love with Olivia that he sacrificed his marriage and took the country to the brink of war to rescue her when she was kidnapped. In an interview with Washington last fall, I asked her about her role in helping change perceptions of interracial relationships.

Da krokus er min absolutte yndlings-løg/knoldplante, har jeg endelig fået lavet en liste over de krokus jeg har i min have. Årstallet i parentes fortæller, hvornår jeg har anskaffet den første gang.
This species is the toughest crocus of all and is available nearly everywhere. It is available in a rainbow of colors, often marked with contrasting streaks or blotches.
Scottish Crocus (C. bifloris), is a showy white flower with purple striped petals and yellow throats. Read the label carefully; some forms Scottish Crocus forms bloom in autumn.
Early Crocus (C. tommasinianus). For color soon after the first of each year, consider this crocus species. Often known as "Tommy," this small variety displays star-shaped blooms of silvery bluish-lavender.
Golden Crocus (C. chrysanthus) is a delightful variety with sweet-scented, orange-yellow blooms. Hybrids are available in many colors, including pure white, pale blue, pale yellow, white with purple edges or blue with yellow centers.
Saffron crocus (C. sativus) is a fall bloomer that produces lilac blooms with bright orange-red, saffron-rich stigma. As an added bonus, you can remove the stigma as soon as the blooms open, then dry them for a few days and use the saffron for seasoning paella and other dishes.
Cloth of Gold (C. angustifolius) is a popular early-winter bloomer that produces star-shaped, orange-gold flowers with a deep brown stripe running down the center of each petal.
C. pulchellus produces pale lilac blooms, each with a yellow throat and contrasting veins of deep purple.
Bieberstein's crocus (C. speciosus). With its flashy, bluish-violet blooms, this is probably the flashiest autumn-blooming crocus. This species, which increases quickly, is also available in mauve and lavender.
