On Criticising Israel: Letters to LRB
November 2, 2015 Henry Jones Academics Under Attack, Legacy Site
From the www.monabaker.com archive (legacy material)
The following letters were published by London Reviews of Books (LRB, Vol. 25 No. 17) in response to Judith Butler's essay 'No, it's not anti-semitic.'
On Criticising Israel
From Yitzhak Laor
Judith Butler's point (LRB, 21 August) can be narrowed to a single question addressed to Israeli and Jewish advocates abroad: where is the line that you will not cross in step with the state of Israel? At what point does Israel's war stop automatically being 'my war'? Had this question been asked of so-called liberals some ten years ago, they would have had to draw their line by now, when apartheid in Israel has become a plain fact of life. Almost every possible line has been transgressed, with support from liberals of all stripes, while the charge of anti-semitism is being used to dispossess the Palestinian people of their last resource of land.
Yitzhak Laor
From Bennett Lovett-Graff
Human rights violations take place in innumerable other countries in which universities directly or indirectly invest: China, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, Russia, Turkmenistan, the Congo. In some of these nations, thousands if not tens of thousands have died or been tortured. What sticks in the throat is not so much the visibility of the Palestinian cause as the invisibility of the plight of Chechens, Tibetans, Liberians, Basques, Kurds, Corsicans, Northern Irish Catholics, Kashmiris, Congolese. Professor Butler's point would be better made were the LRB not guilty of voicing disgruntlement with Israel every third or fourth issue: the rest of the world's hot spots receive article-length treatment maybe once – or, if lucky, twice – a year.
Bennett Lovett-Graff
From Parina Douzina Stiakaki
Not being Jewish myself I haven't followed the debates as closely as some, but what has struck me is that Israeli policy since 11 September 2001 has not encouraged goodwill towards Israel. An impression has been given that 'since we suffered the Holocaust we can do anything we like now and anyone who dares criticise our aggression in the West Bank, say, is nothing but a bigoted anti-semite.' I am well aware that this is most certainly not the attitude of all Jews; however, the Sharon Government, assisted greatly by the US's one-sided stand (the Israelis have a right to defend themselves but the Palestinians don't), has done a great deal to rekindle a pernicious anti-semitism. Butler is absolutely right to insist that criticism of Israel should in no way be construed as anti-semitism. On the contrary, I believe that Israeli policy should be criticised, and very strongly, with a view to reining it in, or else we risk a horrible anti-semitic backlash that will, of course, target not Sharon and his sympathisers, but ordinary Jews trying to go about their daily business, all over the world.

From Mona Baker
(see unedited version of this letter here: https://www.monabaker.org/2015/11/02/crying-wolf-anti-semitism-the-jewish-press-in-britain-and-academic-boycotts/.
Judith Butler refers selectively to aspects of a disagreement she and I had on the Academics for Justice listserv last December in order to level a charge against me that allows her to resolve her own anxieties at being a Jew who is highly critical of Israeli policies and at the same time 'emotionally invested in the state of Israel' and painfully aware that 'no label could be worse for a Jew' than 'anti-semite'.
The archives of the Academics for Justice listserv record a message received from Butler on 16 December 2002 complaining about messages I had sent earlier, including one in which I criticised the Jewish press in Britain. Twice in the course of this short emotional message Butler threatened to withdraw from the list. She didn't address her concerns to me directly, but chose instead to issue an appeal to list members to 'reprimand' me in some way (and presumably plead with her to stay on the list). Nevertheless, I immediately apologised to her for inadvertently offending her and did my best to explain the reasons for my criticism of the Jewish press as well as my position on the boycott of Israeli institutions, which she had also attacked in her message. All this material as well as all relevant correspondence is on my website (www.monabaker.com).
In my response to Butler, I pointed out that I specifically criticised the Jewish press/papers, which is very different from criticising 'Jews' (and that conflating the two would be like conflating 'American press' with 'Americans'). I then explained that the two main Jewish papers in Britain are the Jewish Chronicle and the Jewish Telegraph. I cited Ilan Pappe (an Israeli Jew) writing about the Jewish Chronicle as follows:
"The Jewish Chronicle's smear tactics and campaigns are not only harmful for anyone supporting the Palestinians, they will act at the end of the day against the Anglo-Jewish community as a whole. This paper is their main organ and it represents the Jewish community in Britain as racist, fascist and ignorant. Most of the community members, to the best of my knowledge and I spent four years there, are fair-minded, liberal and pluralist people. But the association of the community's leaders with Zionism had gradually eroded its more universal and humane aspects."
I wonder whether Butler would be prepared to characterise Pappe as an 'anti-semite', or whether she would prefer the more 'appropriate' category of 'self-hating Jew'.
As for the boycott, I explained to Butler that I would 'only co-operate with members of Israeli academia officially . . . within the activist frame' – I had invited Ilan Pappe to Manchester in September, where he lectured to a large audience – and that, unofficially, I work more closely and have stronger friendships with Israeli activists than I've ever had before. I further reassured her that I discuss the pros and cons of all aspects of the boycott regularly with Israeli and non-Israeli colleagues. Butler never responded to my letter but six months later in the pages of the LRB she implicitly accuses me of being anti-semitic. Here, like the President of Harvard, she 'uses the "anti-semitic" charge to quell public criticism of Israel' (to use her words) but with one minor difference: Butler reserves this grossly abused label for those who express their criticism in a manner she does not agree with – in other words, by implementing the academic boycott or exposing the fact that the Jewish press in Britain is shamelessly and exclusively pro-Israel. She does not use it to intimidate those who call for divestment from Israel, a tactic she seems to approve of, perhaps because she assumes that there is general agreement on this issue. Divestment, of course, hits the economic infrastructure of the targeted community, rather than the cultural elites. I concluded my response to Butler by offering to withdraw from the list myself if other colleagues shared her interpretation of my position.
Finally, if my position on the academic boycott is anti-semitic, how would Butler explain the various forms that the boycott of South African academics took in the 1980s and early 1990s? Were they anti-white? Or anti-Afrikaner? Would any boycott on the part of academics be legitimate? Or is it only illegitimate if it involves Israel? The British Government refused to supply books and other information sources to Argentina during the Falklands War. Was this not a form of academic boycott affecting individuals as well as institutions? I do not recall outraged intellectuals attacking the British Government at the time.
In the end, I find myself agreeing with Butler on one thing: if the charge of anti-semitism continues to be used to defend Israel the power of that label will be seriously diluted. Perhaps that's why I am not impressed by Butler's charge and do not intend to lose any sleep over it.
From Alan Locke
As someone perhaps rather too ready to allow strong disapproval of Israel's current policies to slide into anti-semitic prejudice, may I say how illuminating and helpful I found Judith Butler's article.
Alan Locke

From Masao Miyoshi
For the past two hundred years, we in the US have practised supposedly free inquiry in religion, politics or whatever. In three densely argued pages of the LRB, however, Judith Butler asks if a Jew can criticise Israel without being called anti-semitic. Why do we need to question our right and responsibility for examining anything, anybody, any idea?
Masao Miyoshi
From Yovanka Malkovich
From the Barbara Walters interview with Yasser Arafat:
Walters: Why are you such an anti-semite?
Arafat: Me?
Walters: Yes, you.

This post is long overdue since my son is now 14 months old but I'd thought I'd share some photos of his nautical inspired nursery. I love how it turned out and had so much fun making things and finding things that would be perfect for the room.
As soon as we found out we were having a boy, I knew I wanted to do a nautical theme in his nursery. Homegoods had a ton of great nautical stuff that I found right before the summer.
I found the crib bedding on Etsy and the curtains are from Pottery Barn Kids.
I also did a bunch of DIY projects. I had an old dresser that I bought from Ikea years ago and decided it would make a great changing table/dresser but needed a little make over. I used Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint for this project. I painted the entire dresser using Paris Gray and then used painters tape to add the navy lines.
Another project was the mobile. I decided to sew felt shapes to go along with the nautical theme. I do not sew. Ever. So anyone can do this project. First, I printed out the shapes that I wanted and cut them out of felt. Make sure you cut out two of each shape for each piece because you will be stuffing them with cotton.
After the shapes are cut out, I started sewing the shapes closed with needle point yarn. I wanted to be able to see the stitches. And they are definitely not perfect but I like the way they turned out. Before you stitch all the way around, stuff the shape with cotton batting. You can get the batting at any craft store.
I used fabric glue to glue on the detail pieces.
I then threaded the shapes along with some pom poms onto a long piece of yarn and attached each one onto a craft ring.
The next thing I made for the nursery were nautical flags that spell out Collin's name. I went to this website to see the nautical alphabet. I then painted each wood block with the appropriate flag.
The decal over the crib is from Etsy.
I wanted to make a gallery wall over the dresser so I made a few pieces to add to the pieces I found at Homegoods.
Once all my pieces were complete, I traced each one on scrap paper and cut them out. I used the paper to plan out my gallery wall before I hung anything. It's much easier to move paper taped to the wall and saves a lot of unnecessary holes in your wall.
These three pictures were done by my step-father who passed away 7 years ago. He had Parkinson's and still continued to paint until the end. I found these when I was going through some of his painting and thought they would be perfect for the nursery.
I really love the personal touches and how everything came together.

Will the Jeep Gladiator Hercules Descend From Mount Olympus?
by Allison Barfield on October 1, 2021
Today we're going into a bit of Jeep lore. For example, we came across the Jeep Gladiator Hercules. While there is a Jeep Gladiator Hercules model with six wheels, we're wondering if a more traditional Hercules trim is on the way.
What is the Jeep Gladiator Hercules?
2021 Jeep Gladiator | Jeep
We know that the Jeep Gladiator is a powerful fighter and durable off-roading truck. But what does Hercules add to the equation? Hercules is the son of Zeus, and he's a powerful god known for unmatched strength.
Back in the day, before the Jeep Gladiator made its debut, fans speculated that a Hercules trim could arrive. But we got the Rubicon trim for off-roading instead. But as more trucks gain supercharged V8 engines, it's not crazy to think that a more powerful truck is on the way.
Perhaps the Jeep Gladiator Hercules could serve as the son of the Ram 1500 TRX. Only the tale won't involve all that Greek mythology drama.
What's new for the 2022 Gladiator?
So far, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator is expected to be primarily a carryover model. It just came out for 2020, so this truck is still pretty new. However, it recently gained an option for half doors, and new special edition colors could arrive.
But this past year has been full of surprises. For example, Jeep is working on creating a hybrid trim for each Jeep model. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is the second most powerful Jeep ever with 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
However, the Jeep Gladiator Hercules won't be the hybrid model. Jeep is sticking with the 4xe badge for the Cherokee, Renegade, and Compass. Although, we feel like pairing Hercules with lightning is common.
There have been Jeep Gladiator 4xe teasers floating about. One showed the dashboard of the Jeep Gladiator with blue accent stitching instead of red. Other 4xe Jeep models have the same shade of blue.
The most powerful Wrangler is the Rubicon 392. It has a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine that generates 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds.
The 392 name refers to the cubic-inch measurement of the engine. It might not fit in the Gladiator. Also, if the engine doesn't fit, then the faster Gladiator would probably have a different name.
What is the Rezvani Hercules 6×6?
2021 Rezvani Hercules 6×6 Jeep Gladiator | Renvazi
The Jeep Gladiator Hercules rumors were around before the Rezavani Hercules emerged. The Renvazi Hercules is a 6×6 beast that may have taken the chance of a Gladiator Hercules from happening. Jeep could name a more powerful truck something else to avoid legal trouble.
Anyways, the Rezavani Hercules has an optional 500 hp 6.4-liter V8 engine that adds $40,000 to the price. It also has a third axle, so it does have true 6×6 capabilities. This separates it from being a tank as well.
The truck can be equipped with the 7.0-liter HEMI V8 that's based on the new HELLCrate motor with a forged stroker crankshaft, pistons, and a new camshaft. This creates 1,300 hp and 989 lb-ft of torque and costs about $249,000.
We may be old-fashioned, but we would like to see a more powerful Jeep Gladiator model with the traditional four wheels. We can sense that something new is on the horizon, and we will keep you updated as we learn more.

In late 2016, the Calgary Stampede Foundation hosted the first tour of the OH Ranch Historical Centre, which illuminates the long and storied history of the OH Ranch. The Historical Centre is located in the basement of the OH Ranch Cookhouse.
Previously, cowboys used the basement of the cookhouse as a bunkhouse. The room was complete with 60s era shag carpet and a few old couches. Now, thanks to the Foundation and generous donors, the basement has been revitalized into an inviting educational space.
Students of the OH Ranch Educational Program and visitors to events at the ranch can learn about past and present owners, like Bill Siebens who donated the OH Ranch to the Calgary Stampede Foundation in 2012. They can also see a bison coat and learn about the role of the North West Mounted Police police in western Canada, and come face to face with a bison head and learn about the original inhabitants of the land—First Nations peoples.
Students can try on cowboy clothing and learn about the jobs of ranch hands who have lived and worked at OH Ranch.
Or, follow a timeline that traces the OH from its origins into the future.
Today, the Calgary Stampede is the steward of the OH Ranch, which is protected as a Heritage Rangeland with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The rich history and tradition that are lived every day on the ranch is now preserved and shared in the OH Ranch Interpretive Centre.

John Latcher converted the Carriage Factory into a machine shop and at one time made hand-made gun barrels.

Have you watched "Face Off" or "Game Face" and you know Special FX could be your passion? Special Effects Makeup is where we see the most imaginative creative work at Cosmix. Walk into our Special Effects Makeup classroom and you will be in awe at the creature design going on. From super heros to aliens- It's amazing!
There a only a few special effects makeup schools in the country. It is such a specialized industry, if you want to work you have to be very knowledgeable and skilled. We teach students the design and creation of realistic prosthetic & dental appliances. It is recommended that students who want to work in the film industry enroll in the Master Makeup Artistry Program, so that they are well-rounded. Students who are under a time or budgetary restraint would benefit from at least taking the 5 week Character Makeup course in addition to Special FX Makeup.
Special FX Makeup equips students with makeup & lab techniques to create special effects for film, television, and theater. On Day 1, students apply a prosthetic. This introduces students to foam latex prosthetics and emphasizes the importance of proper textures, edges, and the look of a finished application. This helps them as they begin designing and sculpting.
Students learn about silicone, gelatin, in addition to foam latex materials. They design, create, and apply different types of prosthetic and dental appliances. The entire process includes conceptualization, life casting, sculpting, molding and application techniques.
Blood delivery methods are also included. Their final project for Special FX Makeup is captured in a photo shoot.
Students learn how to design, construct and mold an advanced three dimensional sculpted character. This course is ideal for artists interested in working in a special makeup effects lab building projects for film, television and theatrical productions, haunted houses, toy or video game productions and theme parks. Our FX Makeup students produce a completed creature from conceptual design to final application. Their final project is captured in a photo shoot.

You've got a full cart of groceries and are ready to complete your purchase when you find the check you were depositing into your account is still in your wallet or purse. Will you be able to buy those groceries to feed your family?
You're out at dinner with friends and family and put the bill on your check card when you remember you've left your deposit at home. Will you be able to buy dinner that evening? Or will your card be announced as "rejected" to your friends and relatives by the restaurant?
Take it easy – you've opted in to GOPlus overdraft protection from Denali and these purchases are covered!
Perhaps you think you'll never need Overdraft Protection; remember, if you select "yes" for GOPlus overdraft protection you're keeping your options open just in case you make an innocent mistake in your everyday life. There is no cost to you if you do not use the overdraft protection service from Denali for your ATM transactions and one-time check card purchases.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SAYING "YES" ON YOUR OPT-IN FORM?
There's no cost to you if you don't use the service. However, you'll have the peace of mind knowing your ATM transactions and one-time check card purchases are covered when you need the account protection.
Your purchases will go through when you need it for mortgage payments, medical bills, buying groceries, eating out, etc.
Save the possible embarrassment of having your purchase publicly rejected at a retailer or restaurant, particularly in front of family or friends.
If you have a Denali Visa® check card tied to your checking account, but have not yet opted in to overdraft protection, you can get a copy of the opt-in form (PDF), which you'll need to mail to our Member Contact Center at the address noted below. You can also call our Member Contact Center at 257-7200, option 3 (toll-free outside of Anchorage: 800-764-1123, option 3) and ask to opt in to overdraft protection for your ATM transactions and one-time check card purchases. Remember, you can choose to opt out of the program at any time, again, by calling the Contact Center, visiting your branch or sending a letter requesting an opt-out of overdraft protection.

I was just briefed yesterday by Raju Vegesna on the launch of Zoho Books, Zoho's new on demand accounting solution for small businesses. With Zoho Books, Zoho fills in a critical application that has been missing in its portfolio of more than 25 cloud-based applications for small businesses.
Zoho has covered most of the accounting basics. The solution features a dashboard, with tabs from which you can create and send invoices, see profit/loss statements, look at income and expenses, etc. Once you create an invoice, you can email it to customers, and set up a link so customers can make direct payments to you online via PayPal, Google checkout, and Authorize.net. You can set up automatic notifications, reminders and thank-you emails as well, and create recurring invoices. Snail mail is also an option.
Zoho Books will help users to manage bank accounts, and view bank and credit card statements. Right now, users need to enter third-party financial information manually via a .csv file, but later this year, Zoho plans to add direct connections to banks to automate the import process.
Zoho has also taken steps to reduce the fees that Zoho Books customers pay for PayPal transactions by teaming up with PayPal on the Business Payments on the PayPal X platform. This cuts PayPal transaction fees for Zoho Books users to a flat $0.50 per payment—instead of the standard 2% to 3% of each transaction. Since 70% to 80% of Zoho customers use PayPal as their primary payment method, this is a pretty big selling point for the solution.
Zoho Books was designed with non-accountants in mind. The interface uses terms such as "money in" and "money out" instead of accounting jargon. But small businesses that use an accountant to manage their financials can set their accountant up as a Zoho Books user. Accountants can also use the solution to manage multiple small business clients simultaneously, as separate organizations.
Zoho is addressing multi-currency needs. At launch, Zoho Books enables users to define multiple currency types. Initially, the user will need to supply the exchange rate manually, but later this year, Zoho intends to automate this through an integration with XE.com currency exchange.
The look and feel are very customizable. Users can configure logos, signatures, tax settings, email settings, etc. from the settings module.
Integration is basic today, but Zoho has big plans. As I noted, today, you can import data into Zoho Books from spreadsheets, Zoho CRM, Zoho mail, etc. You can also view every module of Zoho Books in Zoho Sheets as a spreadsheet, or export it to Excel. Zoho also has a data migration tool to migrate Intuit QuickBooks data to Zoho Books. Looking ahead, Zoho plans to tightly integrate Zoho Books and Zoho CRM to create a seamless order-to-cash workflow. Zoho also plans to integrate Zoho mail with Zoho Books.
Pricing starts at $24/month for 2 users, and $5 per user for additional users. If you sign up for an annual subscription (instead of paying monthly) you get two months free. The solution is launching with a 30-day free trial.
With Zoho Books, Zoho is taking aim at Intuit QuickBooks in the U.S., and similar entry-level accounting solutions in other countries. In its first iteration, Zoho Books maps to QuickBooks Online Essentials, but down the line, as Zoho adds more functionality, it could add a higher-end solution more comparable to QuickBooks Online Plus.
Interestingly, Zoho recently announced Zoho CRM integration with QuickBooks, and according to Raju, Zoho will continue to support this even as it introduces its QuickBooks rival. But coopetition is nothing new for Zoho. And, you don't need to look any further than its relationship with Google to see that this is an area in which it excels. Although Google and Zoho have several competing applications, Zoho apps are a top seller on Google Apps Marketplace and integrate with Google Apps. Zoho Books, of course, will be in the Google Apps Marketplace from day one.
While many on demand accounting start-ups have set their sights on the QuickBooks market over the past few years, they haven't really made much headway. Zoho, however, is a different animal and should give Intuit a bit more pause for concern. Not only does Zoho already have millions of free and paid users around the globe for it 25 solutions, Zoho is just one part of Zoho Corporation, which provides enterprise level business, network, and IT infrastructure management applications, and software maintenance and support services to some of the largest companies in the world. This not only gives Zoho a lot of expertise to draw on to add new functionality, but the financial staying power to be a serious contender.
When you say Zoho maps to QuickBooks Essentials I think you mean Quicken Essentials. There is no product called QuickBooks Essentials. With that said SaaS accounting apps and other office productivity apps are the wave for small business. It allows small business to ramp up very quickly without the need of in-house IT. It won't be long before all we need is an internet connection to be productive.
I definitely agree with you on this, it is on going today, a good internet connection is all we need.

I Miss Tibet
Why Miss Tibet? The objectives
Need for expanded opportunities for young Tibetan women
The Tibetan culture is a living, breathing, changing culture, with young women who wish to have the same opportunities as their counterparts in other parts of the world including education, travel and cross-cultural experiences. Young Tibetan women deserve the chance to be seen as part of their traditional culture and also beyond their culture, as contemporary, modern young women.
Due to the seriousness of the Tibetan refugee situation, there is a tendency among both Tibetans and the international community to assume that young Tibetan women must only be engaged in activities that are based in the traditional culture or working for the Tibetan cause.
This is a short-sighted view.
Tibetan women are like women everywhere
Tibetan women should be encouraged to demonstrate the full range of their capabilities and interests.
In the exile community, where the majority of Tibetan girls attend Tibetan-Indian schools, the opportunities for advancement are limited. As a third-world, developing country, with its own major problems, India is not the land of opportunity for Tibetan girls and young women.
The majority of Tibetan girls aspire to enter the professions of nursing, education (as teachers), or else to become office workers in the Tibetan government. A significant number, who do not have the opportunity to complete their education, end up as roadside workers selling Tibetan sweaters and other household goods, often along the major roadways of the large Indian cities, as kitchen helpers in restaurants, or as low-paid factory workers.
The Tibetan Exile Government provides some scholarships each year, which cover expenses for the first two to three years of university education in India. For those students who excel at the Bachelor of Arts level, it is possible to get government assistance to go on for a Master's degree. Yet the number of the scholarships is limited and hence leaves little opportunity for the majority of prospective students.
Need for role models for Tibetan women
Tibetan girls are like girls everywhere; they need role models of women who have grown into skilled, educated, articulate productive members of society. At the present time, the role models for women are strong, but few. There is always the need for more women to emerge as role models for the younger generation, as spokespeople for their culture. And there is a need for these women to represent a variety of professions, attitudes, skills and interests.
Need to expand the international awareness of Tibetan culture and the Tibetan situation
It is important for Tibetans to be seen in the light of a full range of experiences in the world. There is a tendency for Tibetans to be only seen as a people that are in struggle against the Chinese, as a culture that is predominantly made up of Buddhist monks and nuns, as nomads who herd yaks. Or as people who are on pilgrimage to sacred sites or who live in caves in the mountains of Tibet.
The reality is that since 1959, over 120,000 Tibetans have escaped from Chinese-Occupied Tibet and taken up residence in other countries of the world. In these countries, they have pursued higher education (many attending universities in the United States on Fulbright Scholarships), established successful businesses, and have become professionals in a myriad of fields including law, medicine, engineering, web designing, building construction, journalism and photography.
To have international support for the plight of the Tibetan people, it is important to have many different venues to create awareness. Once we have established a Miss Tibet competition, we will be able to apply for representation in international competitions.
International competitions draw millions of viewers all over the world. To have representation in events like these, will create awareness about the Tibetan cause for a population that may not generally know about Tibet, yet which is composed of millions of men and women who could potentially be Tibet supporters.
MISS TIBET would be in an excellent position to speak about the Tibetan situation in international forums, drawing attention to the plight of the Tibetan people as well as the brilliance of the lifestyle and culture.
A Strategy: The MISS TIBET PAGEANT
Millions of people all over the world are interested in the international beauty pageants and watch to see who represents each nation. As such, the MISS TIBET BEAUTY PAGEANT will bring Tibetan culture forward in time; it will provide a contemporary forum for Tibetan girls and women. The purpose is manifold:
To provide opportunities for education, travel and cross-cultural exchange for young Tibetan women. An orientation on Tibetan culture, history and current affairs will also be a part of the training.
To provide a forum for young Tibetan women to display their skills and talents in the international arena.
To create international awareness of the Tibetan traditional arts, culture and philosophy.
To create international awareness of the contemporary life of Tibetan people living in exile.
To draw international attention to the plight of Tibetans living under Chinese-occupied Tibet.

Sonam says:
No disrespect — I read the article, and it's good and inspiring, but in the end I felt more like thought of individual or two. I have a few concerns but the major on the topic Tibetan women are like women everywhere. On that topic the second phase those are big words. You got to concern with those kind of words because you guys are representing Tibet and before you write anything about India you have to be careful, because a majority of Tibetans are still living in India. Just one suggestion for future: If you write anything about any country, discuss with people, especially with the one who you writing about, and ask for suggestions and how they felt. Overall it's good but you can do better.
Tenzin Wangdu says:
Miss Tibet is a platform like everywhere else, whosoever wins is in a better position to bring more awareness about Tibet's situation and it empowers the Tibetan women to fight for their equal status. There are still a lots of things that the Miss Tibet criteria qualification, performances and the determination of how voting was done in the past.
Sai Sridharan says:
Respected sirs, please do not say India is a third-world country. India is one one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. I feel it will help improve support for the cause. People will be more interested in supporting the cause if the website speaks more positively about India.

It is commendable to see Tibetan women coming out of centuries of suppression. Three cheers to Lobsang!!!

Sonkel says:
Where is it said that Tibetan women were suppressed? To my knowledge Tibetan society has always been open, and freedom of women has been present for centuries. May all beings be happy.
Yangchen says:
I agree. I come from a large extended Tibetan family and I can tell you firsthand, that woman have always had a big role. Woman aren't marginalized here, and for some reason people assume that. If anything, I think woman are powerful in Tibet (or at least in my family).

pompy says:
Yes, today was watching on television (Indian) talk show — they were talking about the cause of Tibet — so I just searched on google and just had come to this site. It's a known fact that for thousands of years Tibet was independent and selfish Chinese just took it. The Tibetan prime minister in exile Dr Lobsang Sangay said one nice thing: we must support Tibet based on our morals, our principles, rather than other interests. It's impossible to fight the Chinese, but the world should just ignore the Chinese so that they economically break down, and Tibet gets liberated. Although difficult but desirable!
Nawang Palmo says:
Tibetan women can do far better things for their country, but the thing which they are lacking is opportunity, and thanks to this Miss Tibet contest our Tibetan women are coming out from their shell.
In future I hope there will be even more programs for Tibetan women so that they can become stronger and lead our country to its rightful place.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rashaad Penny stayed patient on the sideline, waited for an opportunity and made the most of it. Penny ran for a career-best 129 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown, Russell Wilson threw one TD pass and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9 Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks' Malik Turner (17) and Tyrone Swoopes (46) celebrate after a touchdown by Turner during the first half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019, in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles' Zach Ertz (86) is tackled by Seattle Seahawks' Shaquill Griffin (26) during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019, in Philadelphia.
A 2018 first-round pick, Penny has 158 fewer carries than Chris Carson, who is closing in on 900 yards this season. "It's been a big test," Penny said about his backup role. "Just staying poised, waiting my turn and trying to prove I can play but I know I got a great running back in front of me in Chris."
The Seahawks (9-2) remain undefeated on the road in six games. Missing their top three wide receivers, leading rusher and two Pro Bowl offensive linemen, the Eagles (5-6) couldn't do much on offense and hurt themselves with three turnovers inside Seattle territory and another near midfield.
The Eagles didn't have wideouts DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, running back Jordan Howard and right tackle Lane Johnson from the start. Right guard Brandon Brooks left the game in the first quarter. Rookie first-round pick Andre Dillard made his first career start at right tackle after playing the left side all season and was benched at halftime.
"I thought we had a good week of preparation, guys were focused," Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. "That was no indication of the performance today." The Seahawks were without star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Philadelphia's defense did its best to keep it close, sacking Wilson six times. But Carson Wentz struggled again and the offense was awful. Wentz was 33 of 45 for 256 yards, one TD, two interceptions and lost two fumbles, including one on a handoff exchange.
"I gotta be better," Wentz said. "No excuses. It starts with me." Wilson was 13 of 25 for 200 yards, one TD and one pick. "I thought we played a great game in a sense that we were able to move the ball extremely well against a really tough defense, one of the top defenses we played this year with all their players, all their schemes and all the different things they do," Wilson said.
Malik Turner made an excellent over-the-shoulder catch on a perfect toss by Wilson for a 33-yard TD and a 7-3 lead. Carson took the handoff on a sweep to the right, stopped and tossed it back to Wilson, who had Turner open down the middle.
Penny broke loose up the middle in the fourth for his longest career run to give the Seahawks a 17-3 lead. The Eagles had a first down at the Seahawks 33 early in the second quarter but Wentz's pass to Dallas Goedert was intercepted by Bradley McDougald.
They faced a third-and-3 at the Seattle 38 in the third quarter but Wentz's handoff to Miles Sanders resulted in a fumble recovered by Quinton Jefferson and returned to the Eagles 32. Rodney McLeod picked Wilson's pass on the ensuing series. Goedert lost a fumble at the Seahawks 32 in the fourth.
Down 17-3, the Eagles got a break when Wilson fumbled on a handoff exchange and Nate Gerry recovered at the Seahawks 31. But J.J. Arcega-Whiteside couldn't haul in Wentz's pass on fourth-and-2 from the 23.
Wentz tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz in the final minute. WINNING WILSON Wilson is the first QB in NFL history to start his career with eight straight winning seasons. Wilson has started all 136 games since his rookie season, including 13 in the playoffs. Four-time All-Pro middle linebacker Bobby Wagner also began his career in 2012 and has started 126 games in that span.
"It's important to acknowledge the marvelous consistency that Russell has brought us and Bobby, too," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "It's incredibly special to accomplish that." ROAD WARRIORS The Seahawks are 6-0 on the road for the first time in franchise history. The six road wins match the club's single-season best set in 2013.
INJURIES Seahawks: Clowney (hip) traveled to Philadelphia but was ruled out 90 minutes before kickoff. ... DT Jarran Reed (ankle) left in the first half. ... FB Nick Bellore (quadricep) left in the third quarter.
Eagles: Brooks (illness) exited early. ... Johnson (concussion), Howard (shoulder), Jeffery (ankle), Agholor (knee) and Jackson (abdomen) were inactive. UP NEXT Seahawks: Host the Minnesota Vikings (8-3) on Monday night Dec. 2.
Eagles: Visit the Miami Dolphins (2-9) next Sunday.

Pierre Perrin (* um 1620 in Lyon; † 26. April 1675 in Paris) war ein französischer Dichter, Librettist und Begründer der Pariser Oper.

Leben

Anfänge beim Haus Orléans
Seine Jugendzeit in Rom brachte Pierre Perrin in Kontakt mit der italienischen Oper. Die Stücke wurden in Italien in neuen Theatern einem großen Publikum dargeboten, während in Frankreich die Musik eine Sache des Hofs blieb – in Paris genau genommen des Königshofs und des Hofs von Gaston d'Orléans, beide in einer Rivalität um das soziale Prestige. Perrin konnte seine ersten dreizehn Jahre in Paris bei Gastons Hof verbringen und Einsicht in die aristokratischen Gepflogenheiten gewinnen. Unbekümmerte Fantasie zeichnete die Theaterstücke in Gastons Haus aus, schlüpfrige und witzige Dialoge, vielgestaltiges Liebesleben und schrankenlose Vergnügungen. Perrin kam dort zu einem Humor mit vulgär infantilem Einschlag, bei dem er auch blieb, als zur allseitigen Erleichterung der Anstand sich wieder durchsetzte. 1647, als er bereits zwei Jahre in Paris verweilte, bekam er eine Offerte, beim Haus Gaston d'Orléans die Position eines "Introducteur des ambassadeurs" zu übernehmen. Claude d'Urre, sieur de Chaudebonne hatte sie ursprünglich Vincent Voiture verschafft. Dessen Nachfolger wurde Bénigne Bruno, der sie Perrin anbot. Das Geld für den Kauf des Amtes kam im Fall Perrins zu Hälfte von der 61-jährigen Witwe Madame de La Barroire, die ihn 1653 heiratete und sich das Geld lieh. Die Annullierung der Ehe und der Tod der Dame brachten ihm eine andauernde Schuldenlast und den Anwurf des Mitgiftschwindels. Letztlich erwies sich die für 18.000 Livres erworbene Position als wertlos, da Gaston nach 1653 vom höfischen Leben zurückgezogen auf Schloss Blois lebte. Zwischen 1659 und 1672 war dieser Fehltritt der Grund für Perrins sieben Inhaftierungen von 2 Tagen bis über 14 Monate Dauer.

Aufmerksam wurde man auf Abbé Perrin, wie er ohne berechtigten Grund auch genannt wurde, durch dessen Übersetzung von Vergils Aeneis, Gedichte in einem naturalistischen Stil sowie Liedtexte für die Komponisten Moulinié, Cambefort, Lambert und Cambert. Mit Robert Cambert schuf er die erste Oper in französischer Sprache, La Pastorale d'Issy, in deren Vorwort "Lettre à Mgr l'archevêque de Turin", sich die theoretischen Grundlagen zum Verständnis der Texte französischer Opern finden. Perrin erachtete, wie in Frankreich damals üblich, die Sprache wichtiger als die poetische Funktion der Musik, nicht ohne dem Libretto die Eigenarten einer speziellen Theatergattung zuzubilligen. Seiner praktischen Erfahrung entsprang allerdings die Einsicht in die Notwendigkeit, mit der Sprache den Bedürfnissen des Komponisten entgegenzukommen.

Unter der Obhut  von Mazarin und Colbert

In Issy wurde die Pastorale im April 1659 acht bis zehn Mal bei des Königs Goldschmied René de La Haye aufgeführt und kam trotzt bescheidener Ausstattung beim Publikum gut an. Dem Hof wurde sie im Mai auf Schloss Vincennes präsentiert, laut Cambert bestellte Mazarin daraufhin ein gewichtigeres Werk. Die Oper Ariane, so sie denn anlässlich der Königshochzeit aufgeführt worden wäre, hätte Perrin und Cambert weiterbringen können, doch gab man den Vorzug Cavallis Oper Ercole amante, bestellt vom Kardinal. Jener war aber nicht nur Importeur italienischer Opern, sondern auch Unterstützer der französischen Versuche auf dem Gebiet – sein Ableben bescherte Perrin und Cambert zunächst eine Krise. Zwar konnte Perrin zusammen mit des Königs Superintendanten der "musique de la Chambre", Jean-Baptiste Boesset, eine La Mort d'Adonis genannte Pastorale beginnen, die auch in Auszügen vorgespielt dem König gefiel, doch sorgte bald eine Intrige dafür, das Stück wenig gut ankommen zu lassen. Perrin hatte seinen Komponisten derart über alle Maßen öffentlich gelobt, dass dessen Berufsgenossen sich herabgesetzt fühlen mussten. Im Ergebnis hatte er es damit geschafft, für längere Zeit bei des Königs Divertissements keinen Beitrag mehr anbringen zu können. Perrin verlegte sich in den 1660er Jahren auf Stücke für die höfische Kapelle und schrieb Liebes- und Bacchuslieder, alles in einem leichtherzigen Stil, ohne jemals die Schicklichkeit zu verletzen. 1665 gab Perrin im Vorwort seiner Arbeit Cantica pro Capella Regis eine Empfehlung über Anzahl und Länge der Kirchenlieder in der königlichen Messe und definierte umfangreich die Motette. Komponisten wie Henri Dumont, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jean-François Lalouette, Michel-Richard Delalande, Marc-Antoine Charpentier und André Campra fassten später die Motette so auf, wie von ihm erklärt. Er hegte aber weiterhin den Plan einer Opernakademie. Schließlich brachte er seine Idee einer "Académie de Poésie et de Musique" in einer Sammlung von Liedtexten zu Papier, bemühte hierzu selbst einen Renaissance-Humanisten wie Antoine de Baïf und konnte als Erstes Colbert überzeugen.

Erfolgsoper ohne Gewinnbeteiligung

Am 28. Juni 1669 erhielt Perrin von König Ludwig XIV. zur Gründung der "Académie d'Opéra" ein Privileg zusammen mit Cambert. Hinzu kamen die Geschäftspartner Alexandre de Rieux, Marquis de Sourdéac und Laurent Bersac, Sohn eines einfachen Unteroffiziers, der sich aber "Fondant de Champeron" nannte. Rieux war zwar von echtem, altem bretonischen Adel, hatte aber einen Ruf als Mörder und Pirat an der dortigen Küste, als Wucherer, Falschmünzer und Dieb. Was ihn für Perrin nützlich machte, war seine Befähigung zur Bedienung einer Bühnenmaschinerie und die Mittel zur Einrichtung eines Theaters. Perrin hingegen saß bereits zu Beginn des Projekts ein Gläubiger im Nacken, der Parlamentsrat Gabriel Bizet de La Barroire, dessen Mutter er 1653 geheiratet hatte.

Die Gesellschaft, in der Perrin mit Cambert zusammen die künstlerische Leitung hatte und die ihn finanziell sanieren sollte, hielt drei Monate, dann kam es zur Umsortierung der Machtverhältnisse durch Rieux und Bersac: Cambert wurde einfacher Angestellter und der nicht besonders geschäftstüchtige Perrin spielte kaum mehr eine Rolle – nur sein Name zählte, da Inhaber des Privilegs. Dass ihre Oper Pomone einen unglaublichen Erfolg hatte und jede der 146 Aufführungen 1000 bis 4000 Livres in die Kasse brachte, nützte ihnen nun wenig. Perrin erstattete gegen seine Geschäftspartner am 9. Mai 1671 Anzeige, wurde selbst aber am 15. Juni auf Betreiben von de La Barroire in der Conciergerie eingesperrt. Die Wirkung seiner eigenen Anzeige gegen Rieux und Bersac wurde von ihm dann anscheinend falsch eingeschätzt: Er vermeinte, mit seinem Privileg nun wieder nach eigenem Gutdünken verfahren und es verkaufen zu können. Abnehmer war der Komponist Jean de Granouilhet, écuyer sieur de Sablières, "intendant de la musique de Monsieur". Im Dezember 1671 tat sich Sablières zwecks Nutzbarmachung des Privilegs mit Henri Guichard zusammen, an den er die Hälfte seiner Rechte verkaufte.

Das vom König erteilte Privileg, das doch ein gewisses Ansehen genießen sollte, ging nun unter in Rechtshändeln von Personen, die mitunter im Gefängnis saßen oder bereits einschlägige Erfahrungen gemacht hatten. So kam es, dass das erteilte Privileg von Ludwig XIV. zurückgezogen wurde und da Perrin "nicht vollständig unserer Absicht zur Hand gehen konnte, die Musik zu jener Stelle anzuheben, die Wir Uns versprochen hatten", übergeben wurde an "eine Person, deren Erfahrung und Fähigkeit Uns bekannt wurden": Jean-Baptiste Lully. Der Komponist hatte vorher Perrin in der Conciergerie aufgesucht, ihm das Privileg abgekauft und zur Freiheit verholfen.

Cambert suchte unterstützt von seinem ehemaligen Schüler Louis Grabou sein Glück in London. Dabei hatte er die Partitur der Oper Ariane, ou le Mariage de Bacchus, die nach zwölf Jahren 1674 am Theatre Royal in der Bridges Street aufgeführt wurde. Perrin starb 1675 verarmt und vergessen.

Aus der Sicht der Nachwelt
Als Cambert 1665 seine Airs à Boire drucken ließ, vergaß er nicht, im Vorwort darauf hinzuweisen, die Mehrheit der Reime seien von Perrin, der im Erfinden von Liedtexten von jedermann als hervorragend und unvergleichlich anerkannt sei. Perrin war Lyriker, anders als Philippe Quinault, der vom Sprechtheater kam und zusammen mit Lully ein Werk schuf, das – oft gerade aus der Sicht ihrer Biographen – die Schöpfer von Pomone in den Schatten stellt. Übersehen wird, dass Perrin recht angetan davon war, kein Dramatiker zu sein, nicht die Poesie ins Theater zu bringen, sondern zur Poesie des Theaters zu kommen. "Lyrische Verse und nicht Alexandriner" hielt er für "viel passender zum Gesang und bequemer für die Stimme". Dass sich dabei auch mal fougère (Farn) auf bergère (Schäferin) reimen sollte, war für Henry Prunières mit ein Grund, ihn zu den einfältigen Poeten zu zählen und nichts als Verachtung für ihn übrig zu haben. Aber es war die von Perrin verwendete Form, die von den Librettisten des folgenden Jahrhunderts vervollkommnet wurde. Die Pastorale (das Stück hieß einfach so und hatte keinen anderen Namen) war ohne höfische Unterstützung oder sonstige Subvention entstanden, erfreute das Publikum und hätte Perrin, nach Ansicht Prunières doch nicht Grund für etwaigen Stolz sein dürfen. Mit umfangreicherem Wissen um die Musik in der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts wird dies mittlerweile differenzierter gesehen.
