Sarah Jeong Is a Boring, Typical Product of the American Academy
By Heather Mac Donald
About Heather Mac Donald
Sarah Jeong (The Conference/YouTube)
To decry her anti-white 'racism' gives her too much credit for originality.
The most significant feature of Sarah Jeong, the New York Times' embattled new editorial board member, is not that she is a "racist," as her critics put it. It is that she is an entirely typical product of the contemporary academy.
After the New York Times announced Jeong's hire in early August, web sleuths dug out a mother lode of tweets demonstrating an obsession with whites. Samples include "white men are [bullsh**]," "#cancelwhitepeople," "National/ Pretty goddam white/ Radio," "I'm tired of being mad about white dudes. I'm going to pretend they don't exist for a week," and "I figured it out. Powerful white women automatically receive officer status in Club Feminism. Unless they disavow." Both the Times and Jeong blamed her posts on . . . you guessed, it, whites. Her status as a "young Asian woman," in the Times' words, made her a subject of frequent online harassment, to which she responded "for a period of time" by "imitating the rhetoric of her harassers."
This argument was, to borrow a phrase, bullsh**. Jeong's five-year tweet trail is much longer than a mere "period of time" during which she allegedly experimented with counter-trolling. But most important, her tweets are not imitative of anything other than the ideology that now rules the higher-education establishment, including UC Berkeley and Harvard Law School, both of which Jeong attended. And that ideology is taking over non-academic institutions, whether in journalism, publishing, the tech sector, or the rest of corporate America. Sarah Jeong's tweets and blog posts are just a marker of the world we already live in.
The key features of Jeong's worldview are an obsession with whiteness and its alleged sins; a commitment to the claim that we live in a rape culture; and a sneering contempt for objectivity and truth-seeking. These are central tenets of academic victimology. From the moment freshmen arrive on a college campus, they are inundated by the message that they are either the bearers of white privilege or its victims. College presidents and the metastasizing diversity bureaucracy teach students to see racism where none exists, preposterously accusing their own institutions of systemic bias. "Bias response teams," confidential "discrimination hotlines," and implicit-bias training for faculty and staff roll forth from university coffers in wild abandon.
UC Berkeley's Division of Equity and Inclusion until recently hung banners throughout campus reminding students of their place in the ruthlessly competitive hierarchy of victimhood. One particularly lachrymose entry, featuring a female black and a Hispanic male student, urged the presumably "non-diverse" sector of Berkeley to "create an environment where people other than yourself can exist." This year's White Privilege Conference, a nationwide academic gathering, featured panels on "Breaking the Chains of Capitalism and White Supremacy," the "Whiteness of Law," and "How Whiteness Kills." The journal Cultural Studies of Science Education ran a perfectly standard article this year on how notions of merit and scientific truth are simply covers for white supremacy and racism, while the Feminist Journal of Geography argued that the convention of academic citations bolsters the status of those who are "white, male, able-bodied, economically privileged, heterosexual, and cisgendered."
Jeong's contempt for whites is the natural outcome of the victimology university, which teaches students to hate and rewards them for doing so. "Who the [f***] hired you?" a black Yale student screamed at a nationally renowned, progressive sociologist during a three-hour mob tirade in 2015. "You are disgusting!" At Evergreen State College in 2017, a student screamed "[f***] you, you piece of shit" at a progressive biology teacher who had questioned an official edict that whites stay off campus for a day. "Get the [f***] out of here!" screamed another. Yale responded to its mob tirade by conferring racial-justice awards on two of the participants. Evergreen's president apologized to the students who had verbally assaulted the biology professor and promised more diversity programming. Students regularly erupt in rage against the creative titans of Western civilization whom it is their privilege — in theory, at least — to read. In practice, of course, they do not read these luminaries of philosophy and literature before dismissing them as racist, patriarchal dead white males. When students complain that exposure to Plato, Shakespeare, or John Stuart Mill threatens their very survival, college administrators almost invariably beg forgiveness and create more alternative courses that honor "diversity."
Jeong deploys a coy, warmed-over postmodernism to buttress her refusal to accept facts.
Jeong's magnum opus of academic victimology is a long 2014 blog post on the Rolling Stone campus-rape hoax. Written after the Rolling Stone had retracted its sensational and wholly fictional story on a gruesome fraternity rape at the University of Virginia, Jeong's post tortuously and often incoherently explains why it is imperative to continue believing the pseudo-victim, Jackie. The effort to discredit the Rolling Stone story (a process otherwise known as belated fact-checking) represents the patriarchy's campaign to deny the existence of rape culture, she writes.
The credo of the campus rape movement is: "Believe unconditionally," as New York University's Wellness Exchange puts it. Jeong takes that credo to heart. "The more I see these 'inconsistencies' and 'discrepancies' [in the Rolling Stone story] touted as evidence of falsehood, the more convinced I am that Jackie is not lying," Jeong writes. She sneers at such "mundanities" as dates and times that refute Jackie's narrative, a remarkable stance, one might think, for a journalist. Jeong parrots feminist nostrums on the ubiquity of rape: "Rape is not some rarified, exotic crime. It's all around us. Our rapists are acquaintances, family members, boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, spouses, trusted friends." David Lisak, a ubiquitous campus-rape lecturer, makes a similar point in his standard presentation. "Rape happens with terrifying frequency. I'm not talking of someone who comes onto campus but students, Rutgers students, who prowl for victims in bars, parties, wherever alcohol is being consumed," I observed him telling a Rutgers undergraduate audience in 2008.
Jeong deploys a coy, warmed-over postmodernism to buttress her refusal to accept facts. "They own the words ['they' are presumably white males]. They own the law. They own reality or at least what everyone acknowledges as reality. They own the Truth™, the Truth that makes up how we understand our society." Another of those anti-feminist "Truths™" that Jeong, in her Foucauldian mode, dismisses is "what happened with the Duke Lacrosse players" (falsely accused of raping a black stripper). To Jeong, the fact that the prosecutor in the Duke case was disbarred for ignoring clearly exculpatory evidence is of no import. The post-modernist belief that truth is always an ideological construct allows her to ignore whatever facts contradict her favored story about the world.
Ever the good student, Jeong also absorbed a bastardized version of critical legal studies and critical race studies, both prevalent at Harvard Law. Those by now hoary theories portray the great traditions of Anglo-American jurisprudence as just a mystifying cover for illegitimate power. "In law school," Jeong writes in her Rolling Stone post, "we learned that due process is what we get in lieu of justice. And what's due process besides a series of rules that are meant to keep things as predictable as [f***ing] possible?" It would be salutary for Jeong to live for a while in a society without due process and where the workings of justice are not "as predictable as [f***ing] possible."
The only interesting thing about Jeong's otherwise banal regurgitations of academic theory is her status as an Asian social-justice warrior who identifies with POCs (persons of color) rather than with whites: For the enforcers of academic "diversity," however, Asians do not count as POCs; they are in the same sorry basket of deplorables as whites. Whether at selective colleges and universities such as Harvard or selective K–12 schools such as New York City's Stuyvesant High School, the diversocrats seek to artificially suppress the number of Asians in order to make space for officially designated "students of color." By this definition, to be a student of color is to not be academically competitive; since Asians are more than competitive, they cannot be students of color. And the way to keep their numbers down is to require them to meet much higher academic standards of admission than students of color, who are admitted with standardized test scores and GPAs that would be automatically disqualifying for an Asian. It is not hated conservative whites who are trying to exclude highly qualified Asians, it is Jeong's would-be allies in the social-justice movement. Likewise, in the tech sector, when companies subject their employees to implicit-bias training and harangues about diversity, they do not count their many Asian employees as proof that their managers are not discriminating against applicants "of color."
Human-resources departments in corporations across the country are pervaded by the view that the corporation's white-male employees are incapable of fairly judging females and underrepresented minorities without large dollops of diversity training.
Jeong is hardly the first Asian to embrace a left-wing ideology that goes against material interest. College campuses do their best to cultivate an oppositional ethnic identity in Asian students; the left-wing Asian complaint about being regarded as a "model minority" belongs to this effort to forge a bond with official "students of color" by denying Asians' admirable social capital and high-achieving academic culture. The NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund has had Asian employees over the years who worked to defend anti-Asian racial preferences; legal academia, too, contains more than a few left-wing Asian professors. What these left-identifying Asians think of other Asians who seek color-blind admissions and hiring is unclear. It is a question of great political importance how the majority of Asian Americans will self-identify in the future — with diversity ideology or with a mainstream meritocratic one. Academia is doing everything it can to tip the scales.
There is no sign that the Times will rethink its decision to stand by Jeong, despite the continuing excavation of her contemptuous social-media trail. And indeed, it would be hypocritical to do so, since there is no distance between Jeong's worldview and the Times'. The Times sees every disparity in gender and racial representation, whether in education or the economy, as proof of white-male discrimination. Tallying those disparities is an evergreen front-page topic. "Hollywood Is as White, Straight and Male as Ever" was the headline of its most recent Gender Letter. "Sexism is a male invention. White supremacy is a white invention. Transphobia is a cisgender invention," concluded a column by one of its contributing editors in January. The Times treats every acquittal of a male student accused of campus rape as a miscarriage of justice.
Meanwhile, the racial gap in academic performance, which explains the lack of proportional representation in student bodies, faculties, and the elite professions, is as taboo a fact in the Times' coverage of "diversity" as what Jeong calls the "watery and weak 'counterevidence'" that refuted the Rolling Stone UVA rape story. The paper continues to include Michael Brown, killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014, in its roster of alleged victims of racist police violence, even though the Obama Justice Department conclusively showed that Brown's own behavior justified the shooting. The facts of crime are also rigorously excluded from the Times' coverage of the criminal-justice system, leaving only racism as the explanation for racial disparities in stops, arrests, and incarceration rates. Other mainstream media outlets follow the identical protocols.
As products of the victimology university enter the workplace, they are bringing their ideology with them. A lawsuit against Google by fired computer engineer James Damore reveals an employee culture that mimics academic social-justice principles. (Damore was fired for questioning Google's feminist orthodoxies.) The "rule of law has been killing blackfolks for generations . . . Trump was elected so that law would be harder on blackfolk," reads one post on an internal discussion website, echoing Jeong's critical-race-theory musings. "We have a bunch of white males crying bloody murder over the suggestion that we slightly lower the hiring bar for women and minorities," reads another.
Google is hardly unique. Human-resources departments in corporations across the country are pervaded by the view that the corporation's white-male employees are incapable of fairly judging females and underrepresented minorities without large dollops of diversity training. Race and gender quotas, whether in publishing, the media, or scientific research labs, are becoming more extreme and more ineluctable.
To focus on Sarah Jeong's "racism" is too comforting, since it personalizes the issue and suggests that she is an outlier. Instead, she is all too common.

Diego Antonio Reyes Rosales (; born 19 September 1992) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga MX club Tigres UANL. He is an Olympic gold medalist.

Reyes made his professional debut with Club América in April 2010, and won his first league title in 2013. He joined FC Porto that same year, but spent a majority of his time loaned out to Spanish sides Real Sociedad and Espanyol.

At international level, Reyes has played for various national youth teams for Mexico, including the under-20 team which finished third at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He was also a part of the under-23 squad that won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, playing in every match. He has represented Mexico at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, as well as the 2013 and 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Club career

América
Reyes rose from América's youth academy and was considered one of their young prospects. He debuted for the club on 25 April 2010 at the age of 17 in a league match against Santos Laguna at the Estadio Azteca, appearing as a substitute in the 86th minute for Ángel Reyna who scored the game's only goal. Reyes scored his first goal against Estudiantes Tecos during the Clausura 2011 tournament. He would score his second goal against Morelia in a 2–3 quarter-final loss that same tournament. He gradually cemented his spot in the team's starting eleven.

Reyes played his final match with América on 26 May 2013, playing in the final of the Clausura tournament against Cruz Azul, though only playing in 26 minutes of the match. Due to the expulsion of Jesús Molina, Reyes was moved into the midfield, but was subsequently substituted off for Miguel Layún.

Porto
On 17 December 2012, it was announced Reyes would be transferring to Portuguese club FC Porto on 1 July 2013 for a €7 million transfer fee, with half of the €3.5 million transfer fee backed by Gol Football Luxembourg as part of James Rodríguez's repurchase from Gol Football.

Reyes made his debut for Porto on 13 July in the final of the Valais Cup against French club Marseille, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute of the match. Fellow Mexican teammate Héctor Herrera also made his debut with Porto in the same match which ended in a 3–0 victory.

Real Sociedad (loan)
On 14 July 2015, Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad announced they had reached an agreement with Porto over a season-long loan deal for Reyes, with no option to purchase outright. Reyes made his debut on 22 August in a 0–0 draw against Deportivo de La Coruña. On 18 October, he received his first red card with Real Sociedad in the 0–2 defeat to Atlético Madrid, receiving two yellow cards in the span of two minutes for dissent.

On 8 February 2016, Reyes scored his first goal for Real Sociedad in the 5–0 away win over RCD Espanyol.

Espanyol (loan)

On 31 August 2016, Reyes joined Spanish side Espanyol on a season-long loan deal, with the club having the option to purchase the player at the end of the loan. On 30 October, Reyes scored his first goal for Espanyol in the 0–1 away win over Real Betis.

Fenerbahçe
On 25 August 2018, Reyes joined Turkish club Fenerbahçe on a three-year deal. On 1 September 2018, he would make his debut with the team in 2–3 loss against Kayserispor.

On 25 August 2019, Fenerbahçe terminated his contract.

Leganés (loan)
On 31 January 2019, Reyes returned to Spain by joining CD Leganés on loan for the rest of the season.

Tigres UANL
On 26 August 2019, Reyes returned to Mexico by joining Liga MX current champions Tigres UANL on a four-year contract.

International career

Youth
Reyes was selected by coach José Luis González China to participate in the CONCACAF under-17 Championship in 2009. Mexico eventually qualified to the under-17 World Cup and reached the Round-of-16.

In 2010, Reyes played the Milk Cup with the under-20 team. The following year, Reyes was selected by coach Juan Carlos Chávez to participate in the CONCACAF under-20 Championship. Mexico qualified to the under-20 World Cup and finished in third place, defeating France 3–1. Prior to the World Cup, Reyes also participated in the Toulon Tournament.

Reyes was selected to participate in the 2011 Pan American Games with the under-23 national team. Mexico won the gold after defeating Argentina 1–0 in the Final.

In 2012, Reyes was a part of the under-23 team that won the gold medal at the 2012 Toulon Tournament, defeating Turkey 3–1 in the Final. He made the final cut for the squad participating in the 2012 Summer Olympics, where he played in every match, including in the 2–1 win over Brazil in the gold medal match at Wembley Stadium on 11 August. At 19 years old, Reyes was the youngest squad member at the Olympics.

Senior
Reyes made his debut with the senior national team at the 2011 Copa América; however, Mexico used their under-22 squad in the tournament. He made his full debut on 25 March 2013 in a 2014 World Cup qualification match against the United States at the Estadio Azteca. Reyes also participated in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, playing his only match in a 2–1 victory against Japan.

Reyes captained Mexico for the first time during a friendly match against South Korea on 29 January 2014. He was given the captain's armband after Rafael Márquez was substituted off in the second half in the 4–0 victory.

Reyes played against the Netherlands in the 2014 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match. He entered the match as a substitute for Héctor Moreno, who suffered an injury in a slide-tackle with Arjen Robben.

In May 2018, Reyes was named in Mexico's squad for the World Cup, despite being at the time in recovery from a hamstring injury, he was subsequently ruled out of the tournament after not having satisfactory progress.

Style of play
Reyes has been described as "intelligent in his positioning, comfortable in possession and strong in the air", as well as being praised for "his ability to time challenges play crisp passes and keep possession when under pressure". Though mainly a defender, Reyes has also been deployed as a defensive midfielder throughout his career.

For the first time, all 39 BBC Local Radio stations will be taking part in Local Radio Day. On Friday 25 May, BBC Local Radio will join forces with other charitable and commercial radio stations across the UK to celebrate what local radio means to the communities it serves.
Now in its third year, Local Radio Day has established itself as a platform for local radio stations across the sector to come together and celebrate local radio itself and the engagement it has with the people, communities and areas it broadcasts to. Last year, more than 80 local radio stations took part and many more are expected to participate this year.
William Rogers, UKRD's Chief Executive, commented: "It's fantastic to hear that all of BBC Local Radio is now supporting Local Radio Day. Together with stations from across local commercial radio, as well as those in the Community, Hospital and Charitable sectors, adding the BBC's 39 local stations to the mix represents a huge endorsement of the importance of local radio, so effectively summed up by David Holdsworth in this announcement.
"Local Radio Day is now one of the most significant and important events in the radio industry's calendar and this, it's third year, is set to be the best yet by some considerable margin".


State lawmakers have introduced legislation to allow the concealed carry of guns on campus for the third consecutive year.
Senator Plakon filed a bill for the 2017 legislature that would repeal the current ban on concealed weapons at state colleges and universities. Like years prior, students from both sides of the argument are playing a key role as the legislative session draws near.
The debate reverberates in college halls across the United States. Florida is one of 18 states to ban the concealed carry of guns on campus. Twenty-three other states allow for the decision to be made individually by each university. Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin currently allow permit holders to carry concealed guns on campus.
While not unique to Florida, the argument over guns on campus holds a bit more nuance at FSU – a school barely three years removed from a horrific shooting in the campus' main library. Oddly enough, students and lawmakers use the shooting as support in arguments both for and against campus carry.
In fact, the shooting at Strozier is what made Jacob Elpern, a recent graduate of FSU, get involved in the fight to keep guns off campus.
"We saw that there was no reason to have more guns in our environment, especially after a shooting incident at Florida State," Elpern said. He testified against a campus carry bill filed for the 2015 legislature and has worked closely with the movement ever since.
In December, Elpern was added as a full-time government and community relations specialist for the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus. Now he works closely with schools all over Florida to build a coalition of students against legislative efforts to bring guns on campus.
Elpern is not alone in his fight, but accompanied by residents, student government associations, police chiefs and college presidents across the state.
Towards the end of last year, President Thrasher again voiced his opposition to any legislation that would allow students to carry guns on campus in his State of the University Address.
SGA Senate passed a resolution two weeks ago expressing their official position against bringing guns on campus.
Elpern says this opposition gives his organization's argument leverage on the floor of the capitol, but lawmakers may be motivated by factors other than their constituency.
"More than anything, the reason why [campus carry legislation] is coming back is because of the gun lobby. The gun lobby wants guns on campus despite the enormous opposition," Elpern said.
Yet lobbyists may not be the only voices encouraging lawmakers to introduce guns in schools. Steve Landgraf, president of Florida Students for Concealed Carry at FSU, supports the idea of trained permit holders concealed carrying at colleges.
"Criminals do not stop and turn away because of some invisible, unsecured campus border," the Economics Ph.D. candidate said. He points to the fact that Florida has more concealed carry permits than any other state, meaning guns are likely common in areas surrounding campus already.
Landgraf says the public has also expressed support for more liberalized gun rights by ousting Senator Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, who killed last year's campus carry bill as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and elevating pro-gun senators like Greg Steube to the Senate.
Like his ideological opponents, Landgraf believes the incident at Strozier has its place in the argument for campus carry.
Unfortunately, the merits of both arguments cannot be supported by statistics at FSU because the university has never allowed guns on campus.
Plakon's bill is accompanied by eight other bills aiming to reform gun laws in Florida this legislative season, some hope to deregulate weapons and others add more restrictions.
SB 140, a bill filed by Senator Steube, provides for the open carry of firearms by licensed holders in schools, airports and government meetings.
While the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus is working against this bill, Landgraf and his organization do not have an official position on the matter.

text: T he road to Mendocino from San Francisco simply will not allow you to obsess about urban woes. Tortuously winding through redwood groves and verdant hills, it insists that you focus on nothing but the scenery and potentially errant oenophiles who've had one taste too many at the wineries dotting Highway 128. But once you arrive at Stanford Inn by the Sea, throw open the French doors and step out on your patio to a glorious view of lush gardens, contentedly grazing horses, donkeys and llamas, and a near-360 of sunset over the Paci c, instant amnesia sets in, allowing you to forget not just the drive, but any lingering concerns from your workaday world. Perched on a hillside facing the ocean, with the crystalline Big River running along one side of the nine-acre property, the Stanford Inn is that perfect balance of graciousness and homey ambience. Several two-story buildings comprise 41 rooms and suites, all with wood-burning replaces needing nothing more than a match to get the home re burning. Rooms are comfortable and inviting, and the chocolate chip cookies that await you— vegan, of course, as is all food served on site—are delicious. We must have dawdled too long on that winding road because we arrived too late for dinner in the Inn's Ravens Restaurant, but a two-minute drive took us to Café Beaujolais, an authentic and delicious French restaurant in town. A er a lovely meal we slept deeply that night, the windows of our Big River one-bedroom suite open to the salt air, wisps of ower fragrance dri ing up from the gardens. We were tempted next morning to linger on our private patio, but there's so much to do at the Stanford Inn that it's been described as summer camp for adults. We started our day with a quick Jacuzzi and swim in the greenhoused salt-water pool, bougainvillea blossoms strewn gently on the water's surface; then took bikes (complimentary for inn guests) for a glorious ride along Big River. A er gluten-free wa es and a gorgeous fruit salad at the Ravens (complimentary for hotel guests), we explored the town. Gi shops and art galleries proliferate, and the restored Mendocino Hotel, built in the 1890s, o ers a historic respite. We missed the Pomo Indian artifacts at Grace Hudson Museum, but it was fun to explore Ford House Museum, built 1854, now a visitor center for Mendocino Headlands State Park. We hurried back to Stanford for half-price happy hour and enjoyed a fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice cocktail in the sprawling main house before heading out on a tour of the grounds and gardens with knowledgeable proprietor Je Stanford. Je and his wife Joan have been pushing the boundaries of what's possible in eco-hosting for decades, and he is a delightful conversationalist, generous with his abundant wisdom (and colorful history) on a wide range of subjects. He introduced us to chief gardener Matt Drewno, a gardening wizard who oversees a kind of experiment in optimizing soil and seeds. Fully an eighth of the organic produce used in the restaurant kitchen is grown onsite.

Q: Help interpret/implement "Copy/Paste from Excel to a web page" answer? Can I get some help interpreting / implementing the answers at:
Copy/Paste from Excel to a web page please?
This was the most useful answer Google found for "Paste Excel to Web Page/Form" -- seems perfect but I can't get to work.
(Requirement is to give users an option to pre-populate information in Excel, and when ready to submit a request paste into a form on our server.)
I "inherited" a server at work with
WAMP 2.0
Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.2.9
I'm fair with VBA in Excel. Newbie at PHP. Tutorial and basic forms working okay, using Eclipse IDE.
Tried code in answers -- d/l'd jquery and set the path in the code.  Tutorial examples for jquery seem to work.
Tatu Ulmanen's answer gives me a Parse error on "var data = $('input[name=excel_data]').val();"
Related to
// Insert into DOM
$('#excel_table').html(table); ?
Don't know what that means.
Mic's answer gives no error, but the convert button doesn't do anything.
Ideas / direction?  Please?

A: Given that you're referring to my original answer, perhaps I can give you some insight on how it should work.
I had to make few changes to my original answer (textarea instead of input), but the full HTML required for that code to work is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <textarea name="excel_data" /></textarea>

That code will generate a HTML table of whatever excel data you paste into the textarea.
Note that this does not require any PHP to work as it is. If you want to save the data, you must create a form that submits the data to a PHP script which will do similar parsing on the data inside excel_data field.
Now, when you paste something in the excel_data field from excel, the resulting table should appear in the excel_table div.

Marfrig Global Foods has reached an agreement to acquire 51% of the membership interests in US processor National Beef Packing Company for US$969 million (m).
With this acquisition, Marfrig hopes to consolidate its position in the beef industry.
National Beef currently exports to 40 countries, including Japan, which is a market currently closed to beef exports from Brazil. In 2017, Marfrig reported adjusted EBITDA of R$1.7 billion (US$516bn). With National Beef, its pro-forma EBITDA will increase to R$3.4bn (US$1bn).
It also hopes to improve its leverage ratio. Upon closing, Marfrig will consolidate 100% of the results of National Beef. Last year, Marfrig's total debt corresponded to 4.55 times its EBITDA. With the acquisition, this ratio decreased to 3.35 times. The transaction will be financed by a loan from Rabobank.
In 2017, National Beef reported sales of US$7.3bn (R$24.3bn) and, since 2011, has been controlled by Leucadia National Corporation, which currently holds a 79% interest.
It has two slaughterhouses located in Dodge City and Liberal, Kansas, with a slaughtering capacity of 12,000, which accounts for approximately 13% of total US cattle slaughtering capacity.
Once the transaction closes, Leucadia will transfer control to Marfrig and remain a minority shareholder in National Beef, with a 31% interest. US Premium Beef, an association of American producers, will hold 15% and other shareholders will account for the remaining 3%. When completed, Marfrig will become the world's second-largest beef processor, with consolidated sales of R$43bn (US$13bn). Leucadia and the other investors have agreed not to sell their shares in National Beef for at least five years.
The key executives of National Beef, including CEO Tim Klein, will continue to manage and remain at the company. The board of managers at National Beef will consist of nine members, five of whom will be nominated by Marfrig, two by Leucadia and two by the other minority members.
"We are pleased to remain a significant shareholder in National Beef and to partner with Marfrig and the company's management team in its continued development," said Rich Handler, CEO at Leucadia and Brian Friedman, president of Leucadia.
Marfrig also announced plans to sell Keystone Foods, a supplier of value-added food products to foodservice, retail and convenience, and industrial brands. This sale, together with the National Beef transaction, is expected to help Marfrig achieve its goal of reaching a leverage ratio of 2.5 times by the end of 2018.


The Roma poet, Papusza's, Romani-language narrative poem Tears of Blood is the earliest known witness account of the Kali Trash ('Black Fear'), Samudaripen ('Mass Killing'), Porajmos ('Devouring'), Pharrajimos ('Destruction'), or the Roma Holocaust, perpetrated by Nazi Germany during World War II. Now at long last, this important document and brilliant piece of poetry was translated into English and Scots by Hamish MacDonald and into Gaelic by Rody Gorman. This Impact Event celebrates this long overdue achievement, so that the Samudaripen may become so well-known in Scotland, Britain and the world, as the Jewish Holocaust is. In turn, we also hope that the knowledge of the Romani-language original of Tears of Blood may also spread among Roma communities.

GALLERY: Saturday at the Isle of Wight Festival (and here's what our reviewer thinks)
By Alex Winter Winter_Alex
THE smile said it all.
Singer songwriter George Ezra was grinning from ear to ear as he strolled out on to the stage to headline his first major UK festival.
At just 26-years-old, Ezra's abilities have been recognised across the music industry.
And it was hits from his acclaimed album Staying at Tamara's that had the festival crowd dancing and singing along.
Some questioned whether Ezra was a suitable headline act for the Isle of Wight, but he silenced his critics with a stunning set.
Paradise, Shotgun and Hold My Girl were among the crowd-pleasers and he had a story to tell about every single one of them.
He spent half of his headline debut on a stool after injuring his ankle on his "annual run" but that didn't seem to bother anyone.
Earlier the crowd had been bopping around to Rick Astley who was growling at the crowd between sips of his cup of tea.
Bastille were on form as usual but it was Fatboy Slim who brought the Saturday night party to a spectacular close.
Barefoot and clearly loving every minute of it, he knows how to get a party going.
And there were plenty of other performances to enjoy around the Seaclose Park site in areas including the Octopus' Garden, Cirque de la Quirk, Hard Rock Stage, Electro Love, Kashmir Cafe and the Silent Disco.
Excitement's brewing for Biffy Clyro tonight - can't wait.

Due to the current war, Yemenis can no longer count on the state in realizing their dream of establishing a 'civil state'.
Placing the responsibility for and leadership of the country in civilian hands, while military and security personnel remain on the sidelines, is the minimum indicator of a civil state.
Today, we see combatants leading the scene, imposing their vision of the state, which is by nature a military one. It uses civilians as tools only to enable its power and to keep the status quo.
What is our role then, as intellectuals? How can we create balance between the military and the civil state? One possible solution is for us to unite and develop a civil society.
A civil society can reverse the equation and form a powerful challenge to the de facto authority by creating a civilian-led state, if it demonstrates effective cohesion and a unity of opinion and speech.
At the moment society is fragmented, and intellectuals, as the vanguards of the desired 'civil society', need to be involved in organizing and bringing our society together.
Intellectuals are the most solid element of civil society, and the striking force that can take Yemen out of the cycle of conflicts and wars, to a path of peace, prosperity and development.
Just as society is polarized and communities are lost to one another, so it is the case that Yemeni intellectuals are enmeshed in issues that do not concern them.
Intellectuals should set aside all political issues of dispute, and focus solely on wider culture: arts, literature and science.
The intellectual should not follow crowds, who are driven by emotion rather than a combination of emotion and reason.
If intellectuals agree to unify their efforts towards the 'cultural act' alone, this would set the right tone. Taking this stance – that is, to focus on the cultural act alone – is in itself a political position, and a first step towards establishing social peace.
Politicians engage in games and are skilled in manipulating the public, but it is unbefitting for the intellectual to follow suit and cheer on.
Thankfully, we have an abundance of individuals who are already engaged in politics. Therefore, you intellectuals are not needed. If you seek politics, you will not add anything; your natural role, where you are needed most, is to create and establish a civil society.
Civil society will not simply happen, it needs more than a thousand cultural institutions, distributed throughout the country from corner to corner.
Some will raise their voices, and say, "Cultural institutions in the thousands? This is an exaggeration!" The answer to that is that Yemen needs tens of thousands of cultural institutions to construct a civil society that seeks peace, respects law and encourages a work ethic.
These institutions, spread throughout cities, rural areas and other governorates, would include libraries, cultural clubs, art houses, cinemas and theaters, and all associated events, seminars, training and workshops. Support for writing and publishing activities, articles, cultural magazines and newspapers, in print or on social media, would accompany the movement.
Since the state is absent, the 'living' forces of society must unite with each other to set up these cultural institutions, one after the other, with much patience and an unrelenting determination, no matter how long it takes for change to take place.
Capital is needed, and those with capital are required to make a serious contribution to the process of spreading the seeds of civil society throughout Yemen. They are obligated to give back to the land, which contributed to their wealth and privilege.
Ahmed Jaber Afif, Minister of Education in the 1970s, set a good example by establishing a trust. He founded the Afif Cultural Foundation, a leading organization which has engaged in various activities over the years including: encouraging scientific research; raising awareness on the negative impact of qat; publishing a comprehensive encyclopedia on Yemen, alongside publishing a number of important books and several journals, among them the Yemen Without Qat newspaper.
More recently, the publisher Nabil Abdullatif Abadi took a generous step, despite his modest financial abilities, and established the Abadi Cultural Endowment to fund the activities of the Abadi Foundation for Culture and Science. The foundation aims to encourage reading, support Yemeni writers by publishing their work, and reward the best literary works published locally.
If we assume that in Yemen, at a local level alone, about 100,000 individuals have wealth that exceeds one million dollars, one can only imagine the number of cultural institutions that could take shape if they support the concept of cultural endowments. The institutions could play a great role in enlightening the youth and building a generation that is well educated and culturally refined.
For example, what would persuade the tribal youth to give up arms? It is absurd to imagine that a statement from the Ministry of Interior can do so! However, if cultural institutions fulfill their roles to the fullest, a proud young man could voluntarily abandon his arms. We might even see him carrying a pencil and a notebook, drawing, or writing poems and stories. Perhaps he becomes an avid reader, and is never seen without a book in his hand. He would no longer speak of politics and war, but would instead enthusiastically discuss Tagore and Tolstoy, and may even admire without reserve the book One Thousand and One Nights.


Our beach rugby team is looking for a recreation of Stone Cold Steve Austin's famous beer chugging photo (attached) to be placed on the breasts of our jerseys. Ideally the logo would be able to be printed in as few colors as possible, but still recreate the "scene" faithfully. There is no need for the crowd or to show the entirety of Steve's belly/waist.
Thanks for your time and we look forward to your proposals!

Thread: To message or not
Xxshannonxx1
Long story short, we dated for a year, best friends for 9 before that.
I thought everything was going fairly well, a few little arguments but nothing overly major. Just 3 days before he left we bought a pet together, this break up was spontaneous not pre thought out
The day before he left me we'd had an argument, I'm good at admitting when I'm wrong but this argument really wasn't my fault and I stayed calm and tried to resolve it.
He didn't want to see me, but he'd messaged me saying he wasn't sure about us any more. Then he asks me to go to dinner with his family, so I do and ask to speak to him afterwards. We speak, and he says he's not sure he wants to be with me anymore, I was obviously very upset and totally didn't see it coming, but tried to stay calm and not get angry, and it ended with me saying I didn't want to be with someone who isn't sure about if they want me. I asked to collect my things as I was dropping him home anway. He declined and seemed panicked and more upset than I was, so I agreed. When I left his, he asked to keep contact. He didn't want a clean cut (I did, as I've left a 5 year relationship and I didn't want to be strung along again). This was on a Sunday, I didn't message at all and he messaged me on Monday night saying he couldn't bear not knowing if I was okay and that he needed to see me
So he came over Tuesday, and we agreed to attempt to try and work on things slowly. I agreed, so along as there would be no one else whilst we worked through this - he agreed.
All I asked from him during this time, was that he let me knows when he gets home safely. Not who he's with, Where's he's going, just that he gets home safe. As he works till early hours and has an hour walk home, I used to pick him up because its a dangerous road and I hated the thought of him walking alone in the dark.
He invites me to go out with his family the following Sunday, I agree. He goes out drinking the Saturday night (totally out of character, he hates drinking usually) but again, all I asked was to let me know he was safe.
When I woke up, he hadn't messaged so I contacted to politely say that this wasn't doing my anxiety any good, and that I was going to stop speaking to him until he decides what he wants as this half assing it was too much for me.
When he contacts me about 4 days later, he said it didn't feel right trying to work it out any more and he hopes we can stay friends. I didn't beg, but I didn't ask him if he was sure if it's what he really wanted. He said it was, he said things might change in the future but didn't want to hold out on that - fair enough, it hurt but I tried to understand.
I asked when to grab my things, and he kept putting it off until I told him I was just coming to get it because dragging it out seemed pointless - he said it felt like I was just removing him quickly. When I arrive at his, he was very upset. Very tearful, but he said going back wouldn't work as I wouldn't trust him again - I agreed, it would be extremely hard to go back.
Since then, he kept pestering me late at night for sex, the first time I explicitly told him how much it hurt me and I wouldn't accept it. He did it again a few days later, so I told him us being friends wasn't going to work. He understood, and said he was sorry and that he wishes me well. He then blocks me on everything bar Facebook.
He then kept liking lots of my posts, and i decided after about a month on no contact to unfriended. How can I move on, with his name popping up every few days
A day after I unfriended him I got a message just regarding some money that of his that hadcgone missing.
That was 10 days ago, since then no contact whatsoever.
Now, I'm in a MUCH better headspace than I was in the beginning. I can't read into messages, I don't have false hope and I'm slowly reaching the acceptance stage of this breakup. But there's this part of me that still really wants to contact him. I feel like I gave up too easily, because I wanted to keep my dignity and not degrade myself like I did with my last partner. (which worked, but we split again and it was HORRIFIC)
I really just need someone to give me their opinions on my situations and talk me out of doing something I may very well regret :(
Use common sense. It's over. Don't contact him. Be strong, remain tough and carry on. He's done with you and you are done with him.
You will regret it if you always go backwards with your attempts to contact him when the relationship is dead.
He should be out of sight, out of mind in order for you to forge ahead with your life. Have a sense of purpose and stop obsessing over him because he's not worth it. You deserve so much better. Give yourself self-respect and move on. It's a relief that he's no more. Good riddance!
If you want to keep your dignity and NOT degrade yourself, stop looking back at him all the time. Move forward and have a fresh start with your life. Be wise from now on. I'm sorry you're going through this. Time will heal your old wounds someday.
Distract yourself with mentally healthy distractions. Exercise, eat well, surround yourself with very decent, honorable people and you will be ok!

Second guessing and doubt are part of every breakup and probably everyone on this forum knows what it's like to agonize over the "coulda, shoulda, wouldas." Sorry you're feeling torn - but to me it sounds like you know exactly what it is that's truly best for you in this situation and it sounds like you're healthy enough to do exactly that. Keep us posted?

The breakup was definitely not spontaneous.
Often the person dumped believes it was out of the blue and therefore struggles to understand.
The reason you believe it was spontaneous was because of buying a pet.
But you don't live together.
So essentially what happened is that one of you bought a pet and the other went along and helped choose , perhaps even pay.
But certainly no sign of commitment to either the relationship or pet.
The guy simply wants to be single. Yes sure he likes you but not enough to give up single life.
What would you want to gain by contacting him?

You've got that backwards.
He gave up. You had no choice but to follow suit. You were not the one to suddenly end it. That's on him, so you need to let go of the narrative that this is somehow your fault and that you had any control over the outcome. He orchestrated this by initiating the break-up. What you did or didn't do thereafter wouldn't have changed a thing.
And as Billie points out, this almost certainly was not spontaneous on his part. You might not have seen it coming, but unless the guy is mentally unstable, it is very unlikely he hadn't previously thought about ending it before he actually did. Something in him wanted out and the last argument was the exit hatch for him. Sometimes dumpers will manufacture conflict to give themselves more tangible "permission" to end it, so to speak. What was the argument about, anyway?
To answer your initial question, there is no sense in contacting him. He doesn't want to reconcile and I don't think he ever really did. He also showed you he will disrespect your feelings enough to try to get some on-strings sex from you, which is the height of selfish immaturity on his part. You don't want a guy who will do something like that to a woman he's just dumped. It speaks volumes about his character, and it's not good.
Sorry to hear this. It sounds like he's been unhappy and planning his exit for a while, despite "buying a pet together". It also seems you were much more invested and read too much into things, such as "buying a pet together" which means nothing.
He may have precipitated the argument as part of that exit plan. It sounds like you were friends and he didn't want to be bf/gf, just fwb. There could be someone else he's seeing but still wants you as a fwb/backup plan. Block and delete him and all his people. He's not your friend.
The day before he left me we'd had an argument.
He didn't want to see me, but he'd messaged me saying he wasn't sure about us any more.
he's not sure he wants to be with me anymore. it ended with me saying I didn't want to be with someone who isn't sure about if they want me.
It wasn't just the pet that made me think was spontaneous though, but regardless if it was spontaneous or not it doesn't really matter now anyway, he left anyway.
I'm kind of over the "I want him back" phase, but 9 years of friendship just gone, hurts the most. I guess I'm just having a bit of a bad week, probably because I tried dating again to realise how awful dating is!
Yeah, I think the argument was definitely precipitated as it was so ridiculous and uncessary! I was worried about him seeing someone else, I think that's why I tried to stay friends so I could know. But I wouldn't have a clue now, don't have him on anything or any way of seeing. I don't worry about it so much any more
Perhaps your intuition was trying to tell you something. In other words, maybe you were correctly sensing that something wasn't right.
What led you to believe he was seeing someone else?
Well he'd recently moved house and started a new job, and he began to speak of this new girl and how she'd made him laugh that shift. Shortly after the breakup they started hanging out more outside of work. And the fact when she started, is when things seemed to start going downwards for us, and he said to me "he wants to make us work, but he can't. It doesn't feel right" it felt like he felt guilty for something but he denied their being anyone else, but my dad has had his suspicions too and my dad's rarely wrong. My dad was actually so surprised that he seemed to just change person overnight, i couldn't make sense of anything he was saying. I donsuffer with anxiety, which had an effect on our relationship despite me trying to contain it. (since breakup have gone into therapy to work on these issues) and he told me he felt like he lost who he was and sacrificed too much to make me happy - he did say it wasn't my fault, and that he chose to give certain things up but I definitely shouldnt have made him feel like he had too, but at the time, I really had no idea he was doing it as he never told me how it made it feel.
The new girl, from what I've heard, is actually a lot like me. Fun, likes to party and seems just genuinely nice. Maybe he thought it would be better with her as she might not have the issues I have, but there's no point speculating because I have no idea if anythings happened or if I've over thought myself in making up an entirely untrue situation. I guess I'll never know
no contact, work, arguing, break up, friend

It is developed in the PHP language for environments that run MySQL and Apache , under a GPL license and it is free software . Its founders are Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. WordPress was created from the late b2 / cafelog and has become the most popular CMS in the blogosphere and the most popular with respect to any other CMS in general use. The causes of its enormous growth are, among others, its license, its ease of use and its characteristics as a content manager.
Although most of the existing documentation, as well as the original spirit of its developers, is based on the use of the MySQL database engine on the Apache web server, this content management system can also be installed in environments that run Postgresql, MariaDB and Nginx , You can see pros and cons of the use of alternative databases in official Codex documentation. The same site can be consulted when planning a Nginx-based installation.
Another point to consider about its success and extension is the huge community of developers and designers, responsible for programming it in its core or creating add-ons (called plugins) and templates (called themes) for the community. In November 2017 it was used by 29.1% of all sites on the Internet and 59.9% of all sites based on content managers (CMS).
After enabling the Multisite option, a network is created, so that several sites within the same WordPress installation can be managed, sharing themes, templates, plugins and domain. You can access each site within a subdirectory or subdomain of the main domain.
The templates or themes of WordPress are design templates that serve to establish the appearance and structure of your blog.
There is a large official community, both professional and users , dedicated to the design of these templates that are usually listed on the official site of WordPress themes once they have been checked and officially approved. Although the WordPress philosophy supports a valid markup according to the W3C guidelines, the possibilities of this system, both at the level of design, structure or management, and the flexibility of the system of templates and widgets in particular, are enormous and practically allow to have from a simple blog to a personalized CMS.
Widgets are simple applications that can be installed and run on a web page. WordPress incorporates a system of widgets for its templates since version 2.2 that offers numerous possibilities and flexibility for the design and structure of their blogs. While they are extremely useful, not all templates support it.
here are a large number of add-ons that enhance the use of WordPress beyond a simple blog and that make it a flexible and practically general purpose system. The WordPress plugins were incorporated in version 1.6. 12 Also known as Plugin , they are tools that extend the functionality of WordPress. 13 There are free and paid, and those checked and approved by WordPress are listed on the official page of WordPress plugins .

The human brain has a complex and reliable response to stressful and life threatening situations. This mechanism, however, can have untoward consequences for the organism if it is triggered too frequently. In contemporary living, humans are constantly exposed to stressors that engage this system. In order to fully understand this process, the nature of the brain's natural "alarm system" is more fully described below.
When faced with what the brain regards as a dangerous situation, a well orchestrated sequence of chemical events is set in motion that can lead ultimately to a "flight or fight" response. The chain of events begins when the brain signals the hypothalamus, situated deep within the brain, to secrete corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) that signals the nearby pituitary gland to subsequently release adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) into the bloodstream. ACTH binds to specific receptors on the adrenal glands, located near the kidneys. This binding triggers a cascade of chemical events within the cells of the adrenal gland that ultimately produce cortisol that is released into the bloodstream. Cortisol is a hormone that elicits a wide range of responses throughout the body that heightens the organism's ability to respond to challenging situations. But the persistent release of this hormone can result in lasting damage.
In order to mitigate the potency of this mechanism, the body has countermeasures at its disposal. One of these, Neuropeptide Y dampens the effects of CRH in various regions of the brain. Another is dehydoepiandosterone (DHEA) that counteracts the role of the hormone cortisol. It is believed that certain drugs and psychotherapy might be effective in stimulating the release of these natural agents. This ability to cope with stress is referred to as resilience. From the above description, it becomes quite evident that resilience is important in the maintenance of good health.

This creates a resourceful balance that allows you to tap into your own resources for the purpose of creating a lifestyle that meets with your personal values. By using creative tools, visualisations, and asking powerful questions, you will be challenged to move out of your comfort zone in order to move forward and take action towards a more resonating life.
Are you considering a change to your work? Perhaps you are dissatisfied in your current employment, going for a promotion or want to set up your own venture?
Curious to expand your personal lifestyle?
Are you stuck, stressed and looking to clarify how to approach a challenge?
Wanting structure and support in reaching your goals?
Are you at a crossroad and unsure which path to take?
Do you want more from life but don't know where to start?
Lost confidence and looking to become strong again?

Luke 19:1 And he entred in, and wente thorow Iericho: Luke 19:2 & beholde, there was a man named Zacheus, which was a ruler of the publicans, and was riche, Luke 19:3 and desyred to se Iesus what he shulde be, and he coulde not for the people, for he was lowe of stature. Luke 19:4 And he ranne before, and clymmed vp in to a wylde fygge tre, that he might se him: for he shulde come yt waye. Luke 19:5 And whan Iesus came to the same place, he loked vp, and sawe him, and sayde vnto him: Zache, come downe haistely, for todaye must I turne in to thy house. Luke 19:6 And he came downe hastely, and receaued him with ioye. Luke 19:7 Whan they sawe that, they murmured all, and sayde, yt he was gone in, to a synner. Luke 19:8 But Zacheus stode forth, and sayde vnto the LORDE: Beholde LORDE, the half of my goodes geue I to the poore: and yf I haue defrauded eny man, I restore him foure folde. Luke 19:9 Iesus sayde vnto him: This daye is health happened vnto this house, for so moch as he also is Abrahams sonne. Luke 19:10 For the sonne of ma is come, to seke and to saue that which was lost.
Luke 19:11 Now whyle they herkened, he tolde a symilitude also, because he was nye vnto Ierusalem, and because they thought, that the kyngdome of God shulde appeare immediatly. Luke 19:12 And he sayde: A certayne noble ma wete in to a farre countre, to receaue hi a kyngdome, and then to come agayne. Luke 19:13 This man called ten of his seruauntes, and delyuered them ten pounde, and sayde vnto them: Occupye, tyll I come agayne. Luke 19:14 But his citesyns hated him, and sent a message after him, and sayde: We wil not haue this man to raigne ouer vs. Luke 19:15 And it fortuned whan he came agayne, after that he had receaued the kyngdome, he bade call for the seruauntes, vnto whom he had geue his money, yt he might knowe, what euery one had done. Luke 19:16 Then came the first and sayde: Syr, thy pounde hath wonne ten pounde. Luke 19:17 And he sayde vnto him: Well thou good seruaut, for so moch as thou hast bene faithfull in the least, thou shalt haue auctorite ouer ten cities. Luke 19:18 The seconde came also, and sayde: Syr, thy pounde hath wonne fyue pounde. Luke 19:19 And to him he sayde: And thou shalt be ouer fyue cities. Luke 19:20 And ye thirde came, and sayde: Lo syr, here is thy pounde, which I haue kepte in a napkyn. Luke 19:21 I was afrayed of the, for thou art an harde man, thou takest vp yt thou hast not layed downe, and reapest that thou hast not sowne. Luke 19:22 He sayde vnto him: Of thine awne mouth iudge I the thou euell seruaunt. Knewest thou thou that I am an harde man, takynge vp that I layde not downe, and reapynge that I dyd not sowe? Luke 19:23 Wherfore then hast thou not delyuered my money to the exchaunge banke? And at my commynge might I haue requyred myne awne with vauntage? Luke 19:24 And he sayde vnto them that stode by: Take ye pounde from him, and geue it vnto him that hath ten pounde. Luke 19:25 And they sayde vnto him: Syr, he hath ten pounde already. Luke 19:26 But I saye vnto you: Whosoeuer hath, vnto him shal be geue: but from him that hath not, shal be taken awaye euen that he hath. Luke 19:27 As for those myne enemies, which wolde not that I shulde raigne ouer them, bringe them hither, and slaye them before me.
Luke 19:28 And whan he had thus sayde, he wete on forwarde, and toke his iourney vp to Ierusalem. Luke 19:29 And it fortuned whan he came nye to Bethphage and Bethany vnto mount Oliuete, he sent two of his disciples, Luke 19:30 and sayde: Go in to the towne that lyeth ouer agaynst you, and assone as ye are come in, ye shal fynde a foale tyed, wheron yet neuer man satt, lowse it, and brynge it hither. Luke 19:31 And yf eny ma axe you wherfore ye lowse it, saye thus vnto him. The LORDE hath nede therof. Luke 19:32 And they that were sent, wete their waye and founde euen as he had sayde. Luke 19:33 But wha they lowsed ye foale; the owners therof sayde vnto the: Why lowse ye the foale? Luke 19:34 They sayde: The LORDE hath nede therof. Luke 19:35 And they brought it vnto Iesus, and cast their clothes vpo the foale, and set Iesus theron. Luke 19:36 Now as he wente, they spred their garmentes in the waye. Luke 19:37 And whan he wete downe fro mount Oliuete, ye whole multitude of his disciples begane ioyfully to prayse God with loude voyce, ouer all the miracles that they had sene, Luke 19:38 and sayde: Blessed be he, that cometh a kynge in the name of the LORDE. Peace be in heauen, and prayse in the height. Luke 19:39 And some of the Pharises amonge the people sayde vnto him: Master, rebuke thy disciples. Luke 19:40 And he answered and sayde vnto them: I tell you, yf these holde their peace, yet shal the stones crye.
Luke 19:41 And whan he was come neare, he behelde the cite, and wepte vpo it, Luke 19:42 and sayde: Yf thou knewest what were for yi peace, thou shuldest remebre it euen in this present daye of thine. But now is it hyd from thine eyes. Luke 19:43 For the tyme shal come vpon the, that thine enimies shal cast vp a bake aboute the, and aboute thy children with the, and besege ye, and kepe the in on euery syde, Luke 19:44 and make the eauen with the grounde, and shal not leaue in the one stone vpon another, because thou hast not knowne ye tyme, wherin thou hast bene visited.

Language in Brazil: Why You Need Certified Translations
What language do they speak in Brazil?
Many people, especially in the United States, believe that Spanish is spoken in Brazil due to the fact that Spanish is the official language of every other country in South and Central America as well as Mexico (many people believe that Mexico is in Central America, but that is a point for another time). What language is spoken in Brazil? To clear up all the confusion, let us state once and for all that the official language of Brazil is Portuguese.
Why Portuguese?
Some historical background: Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese and the Dutch. Eventually, the Dutch left, and the Portuguese dominated. They held the area which is now Brazil and had various conflicts with the Spanish colonizers, but managed to maintain their grip. This is the reason why all of Central and South America speak Spanish, but that the language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese. Portuguese is also spoken in a number of other countries around the world with a relationship to Portuguese colonizers, including Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bisseau, Macau, and others.
Language spoken in Brazil
However, the Portuguese spoken in these countries are not necessarily the same. As is true with all languages, any non-native language which becomes local to an area will have local customs, culture, vernacular, climate, and attitude adopted into the language itself. This changes everything from vocabulary to intonation. Brazilian Portuguese, for example, uses different pronouns and a myriad of local idioms in comparison to Portuguese from Portugal, as well as a different cadence and pronunciation.
Within Brazil, other languages are also spoken, as the indigenous populations have their own languages. Many of these indigenous people do not speak Portuguese and require translators when communicating with non-indigenous Brazilians. Different regions of Brazil, as is the case with most countries, will have local slang and accent that differs from other regions of the country.
The Necessity of Translation
The United States remains an incredibly popular destination for Brazilians. At the moment, Brazilians must go through a gauntlet of official paperwork in order to enter the United States, including visas and proof of vaccination or testing. A Brazilian who wishes to live in the United States must produce even more documentation, and although a Brazilian who wishes to live in the USA very likely speaks at least some English, it is not enough to be able to translate the many official documents which require translation in both English and Portuguese. Although English is taught in schools it is rarely used in day-to-day life, and so many people who have studied English in their youth do not speak English at all.
Americans who are seeking Brazilian long-term visas or are involved in legal proceedings in Brazil have a worse problem--Portuguese is not taught at all in American schools. Not to mention those involved in doctorate programs overseas or who are conducting doctorate or academic research in Brazil. Translation is necessary to proceed in all kinds of official matters--but not all translations are created equal.
Why Certified Translation?
There are a number of pitfalls when it comes to translating Portuguese into English. Many words which have one meaning in Portuguese have an entirely different meaning in English despite the word sharing a common Latin root. These words are called false cognates, and there are many shared between the two languages---especially in academic language. A particularly demonstrative example is the word idiom, which in English refers to a phrase in which separate words have a different meaning in connection to the phrase and can only be understood through context, i.e., 'it's raining cats and dogs' or 'he has finally seen the light'. In Portuguese, the word idioma literally means "language". One could easily make the mistake of exchanging one word for the other interchangeably, but the meaning would most certainly be lost.
In addition to this, Brazilian Portuguese has a sharp contrast between spoken language and academic or legal language, and a person who speaks casual and conversational Portuguese does not necessarily have the ability to translate legal documents or academic papers.
These reasons demonstrate the necessity of certified translations which can be relied upon to deliver accurate meaning and context to local, regional, or national vernacular, grammar, and idioms. There are certain phrases in one region of Brazil which a person from another region may not be familiar with; for example, in the region of Minas-Gerais it is common to substitute the word "thing" for the word for "train". It is necessary to have certified translation to ensure that a legal document recording the testimony of a Mineiro reflects this slang so that the person reading the translation does not conclude that the speaker has an abnormal interest in rail transport.
Online language translation is now easier than ever. There is no need to hit "google translate" when so many more accurate and pain-free alternatives exist. The Spanish Group offers legal, professional, and academic certified translations, ensuring that all the nuance of specificity of your theses or defense is properly articulated. Online language translators are often expensive or untimely, but The Spanish Group will give you immediate access to a free quote, so you can proceed with confidence and clarity---and then get back to your demanding work!
Language can be tricky but translation is even trickier, because translation has to account for the trickiness of both languages! Grammar varies widely within regions of the same spoken language, and commonly used phrases in one area can be foreign to the next. Legal and academic Portuguese is vastly different than spoken Portuguese--and legal and academic language is especially important to get right. Legal proceedings, visa requirements, doctorate theses, academic research, and many other works of official literature require a level of translation that can be depended upon to be minutely and incredibly accurate. These documents can affect the course of your life, so put them in the dependable and effective hands of The Spanish Group.
