Paulo Andrez, the President of EBAN, and I were in the city of Giresun, Turkey on the 7th of January to make the opening speeches of the Eastern Black Sea Regional Summit of Angel Investment, co-organised with TBAA – Business Angels Association of Turkey and the Turkish government's Eastern Black Sea Regional Development Administration.
Mayors, Chamber of Commerce Presidents, University Rectors, SME Development Agency Directors and entrepreneurs were all among the participants of the summit. The summit was a great success with a participation of over 500 delegates from Artvin, Rize, Trabzon, Giresun, Ordu, Gumushane, Giresun and Samsun.
Giresun had officially supported EBAN's 11th Winter Summit held last year in Istanbul. Giresun's Governor, Mr Dursun Ali Sahin, had given a very notable keynote speech about the entrepreneurship ecosystem of Giresun at the gala dinner of the summit in Istanbul.
By the way, Giresun, the largest producer of hazelnuts in the world, accounts for 75% of global production by itself. Giresun is also the main region for cherries. Cherry seeds were imported to Japan from Giresun and then cherries became a globally known fruit. Giresun Airport is being built on the Black Sea, the second over-sea airport in the world after Osaka Airport.
Giresun was known to the ancient Greeks as Choerades or Pharnacia and later as Kerasous or Cerasus (from Greek Kerason < Kerasounta <Keras, meaning "horn" (for peninsula) + "ounta", a toponomycal suffix. Giresun was named Pharnacia Pharnaces I of Pontus after he captured the city in 183 BC, and it was called by that name as late as the second century AD. According to A.H.M. Jones, the city officially reverted to its original name in AD 64.
The English word cherry, French cerise, Spanish cereza, and Southern Italian dialect cerasa (standard Italian ciliegia) all come from Classical Greek"cherry tree", which has been identified with Cerasus. According to Pliny, the cherry was first exported from Cerasus to Europe in Roman times by Lucullus.
Paulo arrived from Lisbon on the evening of the 5th of January and l took him from the Istanbul airport and moved to the WOW Hotel for the night. The next morning we were at the Business Class Lounge of the Istanbul airport waiting for our flight to Trabzon. The WOW Hotel is just 3 minutes from the Istanbul airport. I left Paulo alone for a few hours at the lounge because l had a meeting with the representatives of TAV Airport Management Company based at the Istanbul airport. Following my meeting l came back to CIP Lounge where l had left Paulo.
Because Giresun doesn't have an airport yet, we flew to Trabzon, which is the nearest airport to Giresun. We departed from Istanbul at 10.50 and arrived Trabzon Airport at 12.30. After a 2-hour drive, we were in Giresun. The road from Trabzon to Giresun follows the coastline and it was really a nice trip, watching the Black Sea all the way to Giresun.
Before the investment forum, l gave a speech on entrepreneurship. After that, we listened to the pitchings of entrepreneurs, all of whom made their pitchings in Turkish. But Paulo could understand what they meant and made his comments in English. That was very good proof that entrepreneurs and angel investors have the common sense to understand each even though they speak different languages.
The winner of the investment forum was Gulcemen Karadeniz's Incubation Centre Project, which will become the first incubation centre for start-ups in the region. She received her award from KOSGEB, the SMEs Development Department of the government with a seed funding of 10,000 EURO to start-up the project.
Then we moved to our hotel to leave our belongings in our rooms before dinner. The new Jasmin Hotel was a very nice hotel on the beach of Giresun. Every room had an excellent view of the Black Sea.
Our dinner in the first night was at a local restaurant, with local fish and vegetables. The local cuisine of the Black Sea region concentrated on fish and vegetables and fruits. We all talked about Portuguese football players who played for Turkish teams.
After a long day, we were back at hour hotel at 23.30 and went to our own rooms after a little debate at the bar of the hotel.
Following our breakfast at the hotel, we moved to Bulancak Municipality to thank to the Mayor of Bulancak, who was the main sponsor of the summit. Mr Kadir Aydin welcomed us in his room, where we were presented a special authentic Giresun Turkish coffee set. Following our official visit and expressing our thanks, we all moved together to the summit centre.
The summit was organised by the Turkish government's DOKAP –the Eastern Black Sea Regional Development Administration in cooperation with TBAA – Business Angels Association of Turkey. Turkey has 4 development administrations chaired by the Prime Minister and each has a President.
DOKAP's coverage areas are the following 8 of Turkey's 81 cities, with a total combined population of 10 million.
Because DOKAP's headquarter is in Giresun, the summit was held there.
EBAN President, TBAA President, Moderators and Panel Speakers were awarded by DOKAP.
Gala Dinner was at a very nice restaurant with a participation of 100 delegates. We could find an opportunity to know the regional ecosystem better. The Director of Education, the Director of the Police Force, the Director of the Health Department, the Director of the Tax Office were all among the guests at the gala dinner. The dinner started with the speech of the DOKAP President and ended with the speech of the EBAN President.
Each visit was approximately 30 minutes and in each visit we had to drink tea and eat hazelnuts. It is a tradition in Turkey to drink tea or Turkish coffee when you visit someone.
By the way, I'd like to give you a tip: Pay attention to the order of the highest ranked official when the secretary asks 'What would you like to drink'. If this highest ranked official orders tea, then it is expected you will order tea also. If he orders coffee, then you are expected to order coffee also. But, because Paulo didn't know this rule, he ordered anything he liked without matching it with DOKAP President's orders. It was my mistake not to alert Paulo about this tradition.
Then we visited the European Union's Giresun Centre, where farming loans and development programmes are organised. The European Union makes loan to farmers in the Black Sea Region. The annual limit on loans is 10 million EURO.
Following our visit to the EU Office, we visited the Giresun Castle.
It is at the highest point of the peninsula that divides the city. The castle is reached via a 500-meter paved and concrete road. It is believed that the castle was built by the King of the Pontus of Farnakes I in the 2nd century BC. The remainders of the city wall and the palace are still standing. Carved stone caves and temple ruins are scattered throughout the castle.
The Giresun Castle may be analysed as internal and external castle sections. The palace ruins exist in the inner castle on the hill dominating the city. Aristotle, in his work called "Neofitos" (Giresun City) describes the castle as one that is high-walled, is defensively superior and is hard to be captured. The rampart which begins from the southwest, enclosing the city, stretches to the northeast. A section of the walls built of great rough stones has been restored by the Ministry of Culture. According to the writings of Neofitos, a little horse relief exists on the rocks west of the hill. It is said to be on Saint Ilyos' grave. It is stated in the Byzantine writing seen on the lower rocks that here was a small church. There are huge cave refuges in the North of the castle.
He was born in the Haci Huseyin District on 1884. He was injured on his right kneecap while fighting against the Bulgarians in the Balkan War on the Catalca front. He received treatment in the Sisli Etfal Hospital. He stopped Enver Pasha from entering Anatolia in the Independence War. When the bullets of the Giresun Voluntary Legion under his command ran out in the Sakarya War, he attacked the enemy with his daggers. He played a role in the quashing of the Kocgiri Revolt. The grave of Gazi Osman Aga (Lame Osman Aga), who showed great merit and acted as Ataturk's guard commander in the Independence War, is in the castle.
Following our lunch at a nice restaurant in Giresun (Ikram Pide) we moved to Ordu to meet with the President of the Chamber of Commerce. It was a 45-minute drive from Giresun to Ordu. It was a very beneficial meeting, where we learned very crictical statistics about the exportation of hazelnuts from Turkey. This year, for the first time in the region's history, a Singaporean trade company ordered hazelnuts from the region.
Then we moved to Ordu University, where we met with the Rector of the University and talked about how the EBAN Institute could contribute to the entrepreneurship courses of the university.
It was almost evening when we caught the teleferic from downtown and moved up the mountain of Ordu with an excellent view of the Black Sea, looking out as far as Russia.
Around 18.00, our driver took us from the teleferic station and moved to Trabzon, where we would be accommodated this night. It was a 3-hour drive from Ordu to Trabzon via Giresun. We all said 'Good-bye Giresun' while passing through that city.
We arrived in Trabzon at 21.00, left our bags in our rooms and moved to the well-known regional meat restaurant in Trabzon (Nihat Usta), just a 30-minute drive.
Because the DOKAP President is lecturing once a week at Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, our restaurant was on his way while he was going back to Giresun from Rize that night, so he joined us for an excellent dinner until 23.00 and then went to Giresun while we returned to our very nice hotel on the beach of Trabzon.
The next morning we went up to Sumela Monastery in the morning. I wanted Paulo to visit this ancient monastery because l am sure he will not find another opportunity in his life to do so. It is a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Trabzon. There was a little snow on the roads but the weather was excellent and very fresh.
The Sumela Monastery (Turkish: Sümela Manastırı, Greek: Μονή Παναγίας Σουμελά, Moní Panagías Soumelá) is a Greek Orthodox monasterydedicated to the Virgin Mary (Panagia, meaning "All Holy" in Greek) at Melá Mountain (Turkish: Karadağ, which is a direct translation of the Greek name Ouros Melá, meaning Black Mountain) within the Pontic Mountains (Turkish: Kuzey Anadolu Dağları) range, in the Maçka district of Trabzon in Turkey .
Nestled in a steep cliff at an altitude of about 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) facing the Altındere valley, it is a site of great historical and cultural significance, as well as a major tourist attraction within Altindere National Park.
The monastery was founded in 386 AD during the reign of the Emperor Theodosius I (375 – 395). Legend has it that two priests undertook its creation after discovering a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary in a cave on the mountain.
During its long history, the monastery fell into ruin several times and was restored by various emperors. During the 6th century, it was restored and enlarged by General Belisarius at the behest of Justinian.
It reached its present form in the 13th century after gaining prominence during the reign of Alexios III (1349 – 1390) of the Komnenian Empire of Trebizond, established in 1204. At that time, the monastery was granted an amount annually from imperial funds. During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexius III, and during the reigns of subsequent princes, Sumela gained further wealth from imperial grants. Following the conquest by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1461, it was granted the sultan's protection and given rights and privileges that were renewed by following sultans. The monastery remained a popular destination for monks and travelers through the years.
In 1682 and for a few decades, the monastery housed the Phrontisterion of Trapezous, a well-known Greek educational institution of the region.
The monastery was seized by the Russian Empire during the 1916-18 occupation of Trabzon.
The site was abandoned in 1923, following forced population exchanges between Greece and Turkey. The departing monks were not allowed to take any property with them, so they buried Sumela's famous icon under the floor of the monastery's St. Barbara chapel. In 1930, a monk secretly returned to Sumela and retrieved the icon, transferring it to the new Panagia Soumela Monastery, on the slopes of Mount Vermion, near the town of Naousa, in Macedonia, Greece.
Today the monastery's primary function is as a tourist attraction. It overlooks forests and streams, making it extremely popular for its aesthetic attraction as well as for its cultural and religious significance.
As of 2012, the Turkish government is funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece and Russia.
On 15 August 2010, Orthodox divine liturgy was allowed to take place in the monastery compound. A special pass issued by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople is now required to visit on August 15, the day of the Dormition of the Theotokos or Feast of the Assumption, when a divine liturgy is held. Only 450 to 500 visitors are allowed inside the monastery, although widescreen televisions are available to observe the event at a cafe some hundred meters away from the monastery.
Uzungöl (English: Long Lake) is a lake situated to the south of the city of Trabzon, in the Çaykara district of Trabzon, Turkey. Uzungöl is also the name of the village on the lake's coast. Over the years, the picturesque lake, its village and the surrounding valley have become popular tourist attractions. The lake is at a distance of 99 km from Trabzon's city center, and 19 km from Çaykara's district center. It was formed by a landslide, which transformed the streambed into a natural dam, in the valley of the Haldizen Stream.
The area is most famous for its natural beauty. Located in a valley between high rising mountains, the lake and village at first appear inaccessible. The surrounding greenery of the mountain forests and fog, occasionally enveloping the lake at night, also add to the scenery.
The tourist boom of the recent years has attracted investors, who opened a number of hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops in the village. The transport infrastructure has also been greatly improved. In 2008, the government built a concrete barrier along the lake's shoreline, so that its waves would not wet the coastal roads around it. This has triggered protests by the locals, as well as ecologists concerned with environmental damage, who stated that it has turned the lake into a giant artificial pool.
Then we moved to Rize because we were invited by MUSIAD – Association of Independent Businessmen in Rize, for a panel organised for MUSIAD members. There we were given the flags of Rize Spor. Rize is the Switzerland of Turkey, where you can find incredible mountains. Rize is also known as the home of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The former Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz is also from Rize. My representative Abdullah Kilic organised this event where Paulo and I had an opportunity to address local SMEs in Rize and the region.
Rize is the tea capital of Turkey and Lipton is buying tea from Rize.
There were approximately 50 members of MUSIAD that participated in the panel debate. Paulo gave a very good introduction to the business angels network and advised moving together while investing in entrepreneurs and start-ups.
We couldn't see the streets of Rize in the daylight because it was evening when we arrived in Rize. Following our panel meeting at the MUSIAD Centre, we moved to the nationally-known rice & white bean steam house of Rize, the Husrev. The restaurant normally closes at 19.00, but this time, because Paulo was coming from Lisbon, the owner and staff of the restaurant waited for us.
This restaurant is the center of gourmets who visit this region. Photographs of notable visitors are taken by the restaurant owner and displayed on the wall. From celebrities to politicians, from football players to actors. Now it was time to take a photo of the EBAN President. Maybe Paulo will never find an opportunity to re-visit this restaurant, but his photograph will be on the walls of this restaurant and meet with thousands of visitors.
Following our dinner, we moved back to the Novotel in Trabzon.
Our flight to Istanbul was around 13.00 on the 10th of January. Whole week was lovely and a very favourable weather was with us. It was January but it was like April. Paulo was very lucky.
Because the hotel was a few minutes away from the Trabzon airport, we had plenty of time to spend. There was a nice shopping mall in the garden of the hotel and Paulo wanted to go to the shopping mall to have an idea about the local economy.
In the mall, we could also find an opportunity to get some presents for the driver of the car who was with us since the beginning of the programme and for Gulcemen Karadeniz, who was the second name that made this programme as real success and she was also with us during whole journey. We gave their presents with a little symbolic ceremony at the hotel.
There was a go-kart platform at the 4th floor of the shopping mall where we competed with each other in our cars. Because we were in Trabzon, Trabzon Football Club's flags were everywhere. So we didn't miss the opportunity to debate about Portuguese footballers playing with the Turkish football sports clubs. Paulo is an authority on football issues sinces he is from Portugal, where as l am only the audience of football debates.
It was time to say good-bye to the Black Sea. We were at the check-in counter of Turkish Airlines and we were very happy we were flying Business Class, which gave us 10 more kilos to carry free of charge. Both of us had at least 20 kilos of hazelnuts, hazelnut chocalates, tea, presents and so on, which would have created an excess baggage problem.
We arrived at the Istanbul airport in the afternoon. Paulo would stay one more night in Istanbul to meet with his friend from Portugal and l had to fly to Adana to move to my summer house in Mersin. So, everybody went on his way after arriving in Istanbul.
The next day, Paulo sent me a message from Lisbon: 'Baybars, could you please go to Istanbul airport and look for if my hazelnuts are still there?' Unfortunately Turkish Airlines had left his baggage in Istanbul. I think it was the next day that he received his baggage, which was not good for him because he had to fly to Brussels on the same day.
However, it was a wonderful organisation and we were very happy to touch every unit of the Black Sea Region's entrepreneurship ecosystem.
There were about 100 news reports in the regional media about our visit to the region.

Sure, kids learn about history in school, but between their "boring" textbooks and lectures, kids today are simply not excited by the incredible stories and lessons of our past. What's worse, some teachers and education boards are using history and social studies classes as their soap box to promote their own political opinions and biases! And to me, that's simply unacceptable.
These are a million times better than Newt Gingrich's endless series of documentaries about the pope or whatever. Also it really looks like Mike Huckabee is not running for president, because I don't think presidents need such bizarre moneymaking schemes? He's like a male evangelical Lucy Ricardo, this guy.

The Black Man Who Invented Nebraska Football
George Flippin built the Cornhuskers program from the ground up. Then white people turned on him.
By Paul Putz

Before the opening weekend of the Big Ten football season, the conference sent a press release outlining the ways each school would support the league's "United as One" social justice campaign. Many of those efforts involved stickers, logos, T-shirts, and other ways of distributing messages such as "End Racism" and "Equality." But it was the University of Nebraska, alone among Big Ten teams, that made a nod to history, using a helmet sticker to pay tribute to the school's first Black football player, George Flippin.
As it turns out, Flippin's story resonates far beyond Nebraska, illuminating racial dynamics within college football and American culture more broadly. It also raises the thorny question of what we should remember when we look at the past. For Nebraska, the choice to honor Flippin was a gesture of unity in the midst of racial unrest. "In a lot of ways I think society should mirror locker rooms when you have good cultures built," Nebraska coach Scott Frost remarked when asked about the tribute to Flippin. The reality of Flippin's time at Nebraska, however, suggests that any celebration needs to be coupled with a reckoning.
Flippin was born in Ohio three years after the end of the Civil War, eventually moving to Kansas and then Nebraska. He arrived at the state university in 1891, a few months after the school organized its first football team. By the fall of that year, Flippin had been recruited to join the squad, and he saw his first live action against Iowa on Thanksgiving weekend. It was the fifth game in Nebraska's history and the first against an out-of-state opponent.
Nebraska (or the "Old Gold Knights" as they were known that year) lost that day, but Flippin caught the eye of the victors. "For Nebraska," the Iowa student newspaper declared, "Flippin, the colored left half back, undoubtedly did the best work."
What that statement lacks in detail it makes up for in significance. At the very beginning of Nebraska's football history, the player carrying the banner for the state was a Black man. While there were a handful of other Black athletes at predominantly white colleges at the time—George Jewett at Michigan, William Henry Lewis at Harvard—Flippin was the only one building a football tradition from the ground up.
Over the next three seasons, Flippin continued to lead the way. The Illinois student newspaper recognized him as Nebraska's "star." A Kansas newspaper declared that he "had no rival in the West." And reports out of Colorado said that Flippin "gave Denver more trouble" than anyone on Nebraska's team because of his "weight, strength, and good playing."
At 5-foot-11 and nearly 200 pounds, Flippin had the build to excel in a violent game. The forward pass had not yet been legalized, and players at the time often bunched together near the ball, pushing, pulling, jostling, and slugging as they fought to push the line forward. Mass momentum plays like the flying wedge were also common. Flippin possessed the physicality to shake off would-be tacklers and move the line forward.
Many Nebraska fans embraced their star player and his bruising style of play. Consider this limerick in the Nebraska student newspaper, which described the perils that would await anyone who tried to tackle "Old Flip":
There was once a young Freshman named Dyer
Who played football with nerves all afire
But he tackled Old Flip
And he fell on his lip
And now he's playing hymns on a lyre
While Flippin did sometimes draw praise from Nebraska's opponents, they didn't typically react with the same levity. One commented on Flippin's "peculiar and perhaps natural habit of butting his opponent with his head" while another castigated him as "an exceedingly brutal player."
From Nebraska's perspective, Flippin was simply giving out what he was getting. Game recaps told of Flippin being "kicked, slugged, and jumped on." He was targeted, no doubt, because of his talent—but also, like numerous "racial pioneers" at predominantly white schools, because of his race.
Some teams used another method to counter Flippin's greatness: They refused to play against him.
Missouri took this approach in 1892, forfeiting its matchup with Nebraska. The Nebraska student newspaper rushed to Flippin's defense, framing Missouri's boycott as a lingering effect of the Civil War. "Our team is truly representative, both of our principles and our members," the editor declared. As for Missouri: "They believe what their [pro-Confederate] fathers believed. If they do what their fathers did, they will have to be whipped as their fathers were whipped."
By embracing Flippin, Nebraska was claiming racial inclusion as part of its identity. But framing the Missouri-Nebraska divide in Civil War terms concealed the reality of American life in the late 19th century. It was not just Southern and border states like Missouri that were implementing Jim Crow laws. With the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling in 1896, the Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned this reassertion of white supremacy across the United States.
After a game in Denver, Flippin was denied entrance to an opera house. In Omaha, a hotel set up a private dining room for Flippin and his teammates rather than allowing him to eat in a public space. And in Lincoln—a community that praised itself for supporting a Black man's exploits on the football field—Flippin sued a bathhouse for refusing to admit him on account of his race. That suit was unsuccessful.
Flippin understood the bind that Black people faced in America. "Whenever he demands the rights of citizenship he is accused of self-seeking," he declared in a speech. The fact that Flippin sued a business that had discriminated against him makes his willingness to fight against racial discrimination very clear. But he also saw the limits of what he could hope to achieve. So Flippin continued to take the football field, representing a state and school that did not always support him.

After the 1894 season, Flippin's teammates voted 8–7 to have him serve as the captain of the next year's team. A backlash ensued immediately. Newspaper reports claimed the result was an accident, the product of political maneuvers by rival fraternities. They declared, too, that several Nebraska players would decline to take the field if Flippin retained his title.
This opposition to Flippin's captaincy was not universal. Eight teammates had voted for Flippin, after all, and the Omaha World-Herald published an editorial on his behalf, arguing that football should be a democratic game, open to all. "If he were white, the university and the whole west would be so proud of him that he would be dressed in purple and carried on a floral wreath," the editor of a Kansas newspaper wrote.
Despite this support, the tide was turning against Flippin in Nebraska. His physical play had endeared him to fans in the past; now it became an excuse to deny him the captaincy. A Lincoln newspaper reported that students feared Flippin's penchant for "brutality" would lead him to "inculcate that kind of playing if he is permitted to captain the team." Nebraska's head coach, Frank Crawford, further denigrated his best player. "It takes a man with brains to be a captain: all there is to Flippin is brute force," he said before predicting that Flippin would be forced to relinquish the title of captain.
There was no public announcement that Flippin had been stripped of his captaincy. But by the time the 1895 season began, he'd moved on from Nebraska, even as the new narrative about him remained. "He takes into the game no brains or skill," the Nebraska student newspaper remarked in 1897, before describing the former star as "a disgrace to the college game."
By that time, Flippin was attending medical school in Chicago, playing football to cover his educational costs. After completing school and becoming a doctor, Flippin made his way back to Nebraska, serving the Stromsburg community, about 60 miles west of Lincoln, until he died in 1929.

Upon his death, Nebraska fans rewrote history, eliding the fact that Flippin had been disrespected, discriminated against, and run out of town. A World-Herald sportswriter memorialized Flippin as "the charging bull, into which was bred the tenacity of the bulldog, the ferocity of the tiger, the gameness of the man who knows no fear." Left unsaid was the fact that Black athletes were no longer allowed to compete for Nebraska. In 1892, Nebraska students had marveled that Missouri would defend the idea of racial segregation in a "progressive age." By the 1910s, they had joined Missouri's side, drawing a color line that would remain in place until after World War II.
As the Cornhuskers honor George Flippin in 2020, it's the full scope of his experience that must be remembered. We should celebrate that Flippin integrated the football team and helped launch the program. We should also dwell on the fact that he was rejected by the predominantly white school and state he represented—as were generations of Black athletes after him, including some today who have said that their full humanity is not always valued.
To truly remember George Flippin, then, is to confront the reality of what America was and continues to be. A helmet sticker can remind us of a name from the past. It can't force us to right the wrongs of history, or to do the work we need to do to examine our actions in the present day.

The Spanish prime minister's party on Friday ruled out early elections even though a cliffhanger vote that just barely approved austerity measures showed Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has only shaky parliamentary support as he tries to shepherd Spain through recession and Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
Jose Antonio Alonso, a spokesman in parliament for Zapatero's Socialist party, said his boss's job is to serve out his full four-year term in good times and bad and "he will continue to do so."
Alonso spoke on Spanish National Radio a day after Zapatero's austerity package freezing pensions and cutting civil servants' wages passed by just one vote.
The package, urged by the rest of Europe, the IMF and even US President Barack Obama, is designed to reassure markets worried that Spain's deficit and debt problems might mushroom into a Greek-style crisis.
Many Spanish newspapers ran editorials Friday calling the vote a turning point in Zapatero's efforts to usher Spain through its economic crisis, with conservative dailies labeling it the beginning of the end for him.
There seemed to be a collective, national sigh of relief that the package passed, albeit by a razor-thin margin.
Rafael Simancas, one lawmaker in Zapatero's party, wrote that had it not, Spain's credibility would have taken a beating, dragging down stock prices and sparking a huge rise in the government's borrowing costs.
Even the newspaper El Pais, which generally supports Zapatero, said "Spain came within one vote of situation that would have take it closer to that of Greece."
Zapatero's party was the only one in Parliament to vote in favor of the austerity package. It passed only because three smaller parties abstained, and even then they did so to spare Spain humiliation, not because they backed the measures.
Josep Antoni Duran y Lleida, a prominent Catalan nationalist politician whose party helped Zapatero by abstaining, said Zapatero should now enact economic reforms he has yet to address, such as loosening up a stodgy labor market, then resign and call elections for next year. They are not due until 2012.
"Your time as prime minister is over," Duran y Lleida said during debate prior to Thursday's vote.


Our Review Scale – Does the book have the CHOPS?
We try to be impartial with all reviews. Keep that in mind – we do. But you want honest reviews of books and we want to be fair, so we employ our own scale called CHOPS, as in does the book have the chops to keep your interest and is it worth your time and dime.
C – Characters. Do the characters ring true? Are they cardboard cutouts or can they stand alone with their own idiosyncrasies and their own baggage and issues? And beyond that (let's be honest), are they cool, or boring?
H – Honesty and Heart. Did the author write honestly, or take the easy way out? Did they write with their heart and soul or just phone it in?
O – Originality. Is this an original or one we've read before? If it's an adaption, that's fine. If it's a retread, well the points will fall.
P – Plot and Pacing. This is a combo meal deal, because we want a great plot and pacing that sets the tone, at all times.
S – Storytelling. Sometimes seven a mediocre story is great if the author has the knack for storytelling. It's probably more important than you think.
Is this scale fair? We think so – and that's how we rate each book, with a 20-point maximum for each category and 100-points total. We call 'em as we see 'em.
Some books don't receive a full review because we weren't able to finish the book due to time constraints. These have a blurb only. That's the scoop.

Anuradha Bhasin: In Kashmir, The Surreal Is Very Real Now
The journalist and activist on militancy, formative political moments, and challenging the Indian Supreme Court.
Nimmi Gowrinathan
Photo by Masrat Zahra.
Anuradha Bhasin is a journalist with three decades of experience covering Jammu and Kashmir, with a special focus on border issues, conflict, and human rights. In her pursuit of justice she has occupied many roles, from organizing protest marches to participating in regional dialogues; she is both comfortable wearing "different hats" and always an activist. Bhasin is Executive Editor of the Kashmir Times, the oldest English daily in Jammu and Kashmir. She spoke with Ather Zia and Nimmi Gowrinathan about her political awakening, challenging the Indian Supreme Court over Kashmir's communication lockdown, and the political strategies of women under siege.
Ather Zia: It was in the late 1990s when I first met you at different conferences, and by then I already knew your work. Everyone has several pioneering icons, and for me, you were one of them. Could you give us an overview of your background and your positionality as a woman from the region, as a political analyst, a journalist, and a writer?
Anuradha Bhasin: As a child, I was fascinated by the borders [in the region]. The stories I heard from people around me, of people who had been impacted—these fascinated me. As I grew as a history student, I was drawn to study the conflict. And then there were the human rights violations, which impacted me as a human being.
I have often felt when you're living in situations like this that it's very difficult to draw a line between your professionalism and your activism. When you are here, living it, I think you have no choice. The question was how could I contribute while maintaining my professionalism? I could write about subjects by being as professional as possible and also highlighting marginalized voices talking about what was wrong with the system: corruption, brutality, and how it all impacted lives.
I felt that as an individual I could play a role. Activists come from many fields. I don't see anything wrong with the journalist putting on different hats.
Nimmi Gowrinathan: I think that particularly for younger people, it is informative to hear how your own political consciousness evolved: what the key moments were for you, while also understanding that our political identities are constantly evolving. Was it when the guns showed up? Do you remember your father, the founder of the Kashmir Times, being harassed? When did your own politics form in relation to the world around you?
Anuradha Bhasin: I was still in school when my father was attacked in '83 by the RSS [Hindu supremacists]. It was a murderous attack. They used knives and threw typewriters at him. I was conscious of the violence.
Jammu, where I live, suddenly saw divisions followed by a lot of polarization between the Hindus and the Sikhs in '84. The arson, the fires, were our first signs of communalism. I grew up in a very liberal atmosphere. When we heard stories of the partition in 1947, we thought these to be relics from the past. We thought they were folklore, moments that had passed. And then they attacked my father.
By 1986, I went to college and started studying history as a subject. I was at Delhi University, which is a politically charged space and where my initial inquisitiveness about politics began. I began to understand that politics is not just about those in power; it is linked to day-to-day lives of people, expressions of views, and those early questionings of justice.
I wondered if men ever thought of acting as shields between the women and the security forces.
Nimmi Gowrinathan: You've mentioned stories that are not visible. Some of your work focuses on the stories of women in Kashmir. There is, first, the question of women being invisible in public discourse, but perhaps a more important question is: How do we see women in the entirety of their political complexity? How do you tell the story of human rights violations happening, and those that are gendered, without casting women as victims void of political perspectives?
Anuradha Bhasin: When I was a young journalist, I wondered how these kinds of violations could take place. Were they constitutionally mandated? No. Did they look like a part of any liberal democracy? No.
Inside this, many women's stories had been missing for years. Women were part of the stories more as props. When the armed conflict began, they participated in the militant resistance more as supportive family members, less as equal partners. But they've been visible, they were part of protests, they have acted as shields for men.
There were women being raped. I wondered if men ever thought of acting as shields between the women and the security forces. Or did they think it was too dangerous for them? How is it that the women thought of acting as shields even when they were putting their lives there, their bodies there to be violated?
Our understanding of gender and the different articulations of inequalities evolve and deepen gradually. It was important also to look at not just the presence of women, but what exactly they were doing. A lot of the first women known as resistors in Kashmir were part of the group called the APDP, the Association of Parents for Disappeared Persons. It's led by a woman named Parveena Ahangar, who co-founded it. Most of its members are women and they were and are doing tremendous work.
Ather Zia: In my new book, Resisting Disappearance: Women's Activism and Military Occupation, I do illustrate early moments of the APDP struggle, when the activists underline that they are the victims and sufferers and theirs is an apolitical organization. When Parveena Ahangar speaks now, when the activists speak, they take a very, very strong political position, but also without foregrounding it as "political." Their strategy manifests a politics of mourning, and it is remarkable how effective their work has been.
Anuradha Bhasin: Yes. They are talking about justice to know the truth about what happened to the men who disappeared in their families: their husbands, their fathers, brothers, and sons. But the stance they take, to say, "we don't want your compensation, we want to know the truth," is an extremely political position in pursuit of justice.
And I think these were ordinary women. Parveena Ahanger, the leader, is not a formally educated woman. She speaks in broken Urdu. But they created a niche for themselves in the way they think, so conscious of politics around them, and the way they participate publicly.
I'm trying to understand what it means. Is it something that they did consciously? Or is it something that they couldn't articulate? Is it because in a deeply patriarchal society, there has to be a covert politics? Did they feel that they needed legitimacy with this kind of articulation of victimhood first?
Nimmi Gowrinathan: For the women more overtly engaged in visible politics—those who were involved in militancy, for example—do you know what some of their motivations for joining were?
Anuradha Bhasin: We haven't had, so far, women joining militancy as such, as suicide bombers or women who pick up guns. We've had all along, however, women who acted as informers, couriers, and other forms of support. I met a few of them in Rajouri, Poonch mainly. Out of all the regions in Jammu and Kashmir that is the most conservative part, where women are reduced to an audience or they just don't exist. That is the dominant perception, that women don't have any agency in these regions. But one woman I spoke to had been working for the security forces and she earlier worked for militants. She had been a double-agent; that's how she operated.
She would tell me, "I was always confined to the four walls of the kitchen in my own house. And my good-for-nothing husband used to rule over me." There is so much we miss about women who are asserting themselves in ways we don't see.
Ather Zia: In your work as a journalist and storyteller, you're taking the legacy of your father, Ved Bhasin, forward. He is an inspirational figure for Kashmiris; he was not only an ally, but had no hesitation in saying, "I'm part of the struggle." Can you tell us something more about his work and yours as well, in light of his legacy?
Anuradha Bhasin: Initially, my father wanted to start his newspaper in Srinagar, but it was not possible because the state made conditions to publish more stringent for him. For instance, to get a newspaper registered in those days, you needed to pay nominal charges, but for him the conditions were to pay 2000 rupees, which was a lot in the 1950s. So he was forced to move to Jammu. He initially got the Kashmir Times registered in someone else's name, his friend's father's name. It was a weekly and the first copies had to be published in Delhi. Then from Delhi my father had to bring the copies by road. On top of this, his copies were seized because of the extreme surveillance that was prevalent in the 1950s.
Since the militancy, of course, and during my tenure, the journalists have been walking the razor's edge and have been caught between the crossfire of many guns. Despite the fear, our bureau staff often had to use the art of diplomacy to convince them of the value of independent media.
Army men would barge into offices and demand that the handouts be carried like this. Then there was also this whole war on terminology. Do you call a militant a militant or do you say a terrorist? In the 90s, a term like "foreign militants" was suddenly used by journalists.
The initial word used was "guest militants" from places like Afghanistan because that's how the militant organizations, the local ones, introduced them. The army objected, saying, "No, you call them mercenaries, foreign mercenaries." So even here, how do you find a balance? Journalists have been trying to outsmart the guns on every side.
Ather Zia: After August 5, 2019, when Kashmir was put under a complete curfew and communication lockdown, you went to the Indian Supreme Court and challenged the state's efforts to cut off the region. Can you give us the details of the case and the circumstances around it?
Anuradha Bhasin: Before August 5, the press in Kashmir has faced challenges, but this was unprecedented. I mean, seven million people in Kashmir, another three million from Rajouri, Poonch, Doda; ten million out of 14 million people made invisible.
I had no contact with my reporters. I wasn't even sure what was happening. No one knew, initially. Every night from my house we would hear aircraft sorties. We would worry whether they were going to bombard Kashmir. My first thinking was, they're going to do air strikes the Sri Lankan way. Because a lot of experts, like the military think tanks in Delhi, for years had been talking about this Sri Lankan [scorched earth] model [from 2009]. That was my worry.
And when there was absolute silence—you don't know about what is happening, no phones are working—you worry because you know the history of Kashmir. You say, "Okay, there will be lots and lots of disappearances or people butchered and killed." I heard that there were many arrests. The three former chief ministers have been arrested, so who else is safe? And these are the three chief ministers who've been so pro-India, virtually prophets of India. So, I wasn't sure if my staff was safe either. And I had no choice. I had been talking to my lawyer friend Vrinda Grover and on August 10 I filed a case in the Supreme Court of India to challenge the internet and communication lockdown.
On August 17, for the first time, I heard my bureau chief's voice. He was calling from the media facilitation center that was set up by the government for the media and it was under complete surveillance. My bureau chief and I have been working together since 1991 but I had never heard such fear in his voice. He just wouldn't speak. After a couple of calls I realized that their numbers and details were being noted as well as those of whom they were calling.
I wasn't very optimistic about what would happen because Indian courts even before August 5 have treated Kashmir very differently. Yet there were no other options. The Supreme Court was busy dealing with the Ayodhya hearing which also would affect our case. I had no expectations from the court, the way they were and have been behaving with the habeas corpus petitions and everything. It took the court six months to decide.
In January 2020, the Indian Supreme Court gave the verdict that the internet is a fundamental right. Of course, the judgment was significant, but essentially the government has gotten away with not implementing what the court had said in spirit. On top of only having the slow 2G internet service restored, every now and then a situation develops in Kashmir which the government uses as an excuse to shut down the internet, to shut down mobile phones, sometimes for a week, sometimes just for a few days. It has become a routine practice.
The surreal is very real now. In fact, we've gone beyond that.
Nimmi Gowrinathan: Is there a story that has stayed with you that shows us something about the intimate impact of these layers of violence on people's lives and choices on the inside?
Anuradha Bhasin: There was this one woman who talked about the threats she faced in her village, a hilly, sparsely populated area. Houses were two kilometers apart. If you are not living in clusters, insecurity presents itself very easily.
She was threatened by some local militants who had some scores to settle, and on the other side by an army man—really related to their own dispute. So, she became a village defense committee member and picked up a gun. "I used to sit on this bed," she told me. "My children were very young and all night I wouldn't sleep and be holding the gun."
I was trying to imagine this woman sitting there in the bed in the middle of a big room and the children sleeping on both sides of her, what she was thinking. That gun helped her to also earn some respect within her own village and resolve certain disputes.
Now, regarding the gun, I did a lot of work in 2018 in the field in Kashmir. And I could see a whole difference in the approach of the younger women, college and university students, and women of the previous generation. In 2018, protests erupted in the valley. There were women who started pelting stones for the first time. There were younger women who were saying, yes, we are ready to pick up the gun.
But there were two different versions I got from these youngsters who wanted to pick up the guns, these young women. One was: "We will pick up the gun when they allow us." They mean the men. But there were some women saying: "We will decide when we want to do it."
Nimmi Gowrinathan: Ather mentioned the influence of your father, as well as your writings on her own political thinking. Do you remember the early texts that resonated with you and helped illuminate the inequality and violence you were witnessing inside Kashmir?
Anuradha Bhasin: A bit of Karl Marx. I was trying to look at communism very critically because a lot of my friends were communist, and I could see the contradictions within what they believed in and what they practiced. Kafka. I was quite drawn to political fiction. I read a lot of George Orwell. I recently read 1984 about two years back again, because I thought it was important to re-read. Because in 1984, [when I first read it], it seemed like it was an impossible fiction. It was just so surreal. But the surreal is very real now. In fact, we've gone beyond that.

Working from home: The research is in
What studies show about working from home may surprise you. Here are eight things business leaders can learn the research.
Suraya Casey
Sincerely Media
Remote working, telecommuting, working from home. Whatever you call it, since the pandemic more workplaces are offering or even expecting employees to work from home at least some of the time.
Is home working just a trend, or is there evidence to support whether it works? I decided to find out what the research had to say. Here are eight crucial findings.
1. Remote work is common
Gartner's 2021 survey of 10,000 digital workers found remote workers represent 32 percent of the workforce worldwide. 64 percent said they were more likely to consider a role that allowed flexible hours over one that didn't.
What's the opportunity?
Offering flexible working is now the norm. If your business isn't there yet, you may have to have some tough conversations to get things moving. Today's the day to start.
2. Homeworking could give you an extra day per week
A Stanford study that monitored around 500 employees in China's largest travel agency for two years found working from home increased productivity by over 20 percent. That's equivalent to an extra working day each week.
The increase in productivity came from several ways employees changed how they were working. They took fewer breaks and less time off (such as sick days), but mostly, they just got through more work.
Professor of Economics, Nicholas Bloom, explained these findings in his TedX Stanford talk.
If you want to improve productivity, make sure home working is on the table. If you're already doing it but it's not delivering, your policy may need review, so the next point is salient.
3. It's not for everyone
The same Stanford study found that after the trial work-from-home period, around half the participants decided to be office-based in the future.
Everyone's an individual, and your business homeworking policy should reflect this. Flexible or home working also means taking into account each employee's role, needs and preferences. Reconsider an 'all or nothing' approach to home working.
4. Remote workers struggle to 'switch off'
Two large studies during the pandemic found home-workers were working longer hours than they had in the office. They reported taking shorter breaks, working through sickness and not logging off until as late as 8pm. 55 percent wanted their employer to communicate and expect work only within the usual hours.
Switching off and unwinding makes us better at our work. We should see it as part of our job. More so if we work from home, because the research suggests it's harder to do.
Review your organization's health and well-being policy. If it doesn't place value on employees taking breaks and switching off, it should.
No matter your seniority, you can cultivate a culture that values unwinding and doesn't expect your employees to be 'always on' just because they're at home, particularly if you're working with team members across multiple time zones.
5. The value of homeworking may depend on the type of work
A 2021 study of over 700 academics working from home during the pandemic found nearly half reported being less efficient while working from home, but 70 percent thought they'd be more efficient if they could decide in the future when to work from home. The academics seemed to think the ideal scenario is choosing when to work from home and when not to, depending on what work they had to do. They thought home working made them less good at sharing with colleagues, keeping in touch with the team and collecting data, but better at writing papers, reading the literature and analyzing data.
Hybrid working – combining remote and in-office work – is a great option, especially for those teams whose work varies between requiring focus and requiring collaboration. Let your staff choose as much as possible when to work where, but make sure there are opportunities for sharing with colleagues.
6. Cybercriminals have noticed more people are working from home
Researchers noted the first wave of coronavirus-themed attacks used the situation to spread scams, by way of phishing, ransomware and malware. But it's not just individuals who are vulnerable. Whole organizations can get distracted.
Banking on a lack of IT resources and vulnerabilities like legacy software, targets have included educational institutions and government agencies that have been in the news for conducting learning and business remotely.
Kaspersky's white paper Remote working: How to make the laptop lifestyle flow sweetly (and securely) for your business is a good place to start for security measures that enable remote working.
In the event of a cybersecurity incident, prioritize good communication. The World Health Organization's (WHO) response to coronavirus email scammers pretending to be them is an excellent example of a promptly issued statement in plain language that raises awareness of cybercrime.
7. Young talent values working from home, but needs much face-to-face time too
Ipsos Mori and Nationwide 2021 research found Gen Z and Millennials were more likely than any other group to want to work from home three or more days a week. On the other hand, half believed working from home was straining their health and wellbeing and similar numbers said they needed face-to-face time with colleagues to be effective at work.
If you're having trouble attracting early talent like graduates and apprentices, it's another reason to look at your flexible-working offer. Ipsos Mori's Dr Linda Papadopoulos suggests, "championing a flexible working approach on where and when staff work, by helping them to find a work pattern which balances their work and life."
8. Offering remote working helps attract and retain more diverse talent
Being more supportive of remote and flexible working will help companies attract and retain more women, in part because women are far more likely than men to shoulder care responsibilities. As this Felstead and Henseke research shows, working from home helps employees adapt to personal circumstances.
But what about other groups under-represented in your workplace? Seekout describes remote working as "the single best secret of diversity recruitment." They cite the desire to work remotely as at the top of the list for many job-seekers, attracting more applicants overall, and homeworking has apparent attractions for women and disabled people.
Where's the opportunity?
You can only gain more top talent by making sure your job adverts highlight flexible working as a benefit. It's in the top two employee benefits applicants care most about.
Attracting more applicants is, of course, just the first step in building a more diverse workforce. Minimizing unconscious bias helps make sure the best applicants get hired.
Every company's needs are unique; many industries need the presence of people to make and deliver goods and services, serve customers or devise ideas together. But consider if your non-frontline staff could benefit from having the option to work at least some of the time remotely.
These findings can support you in finding the best way to harness the power of remote working and guide you around common pitfalls. The one that gives me the most pause for thought (pun intended) is the importance of switching off and taking a break. No matter who you are – from apprentice to chief executive – your most important work might not just happen in your home office. It might be when you're doing nothing at all.
What employees want
Kaspersky asked employees what they want from their roles, now and in the future.

Q: tcpdump with multiple subtypes specified? I'm trying to create a bash script to detect deauthentication attacks (I am on Mac). Whilst I am aware that the command:
$ tcpdump -l -I -i en0 -e -s 256 type mgt subtype deauth

will detect deauthentication packets, I would also like to simultaneously detect disassociation packets.  Normally, you would detect disassociation packets with:
$ tcpdump -l -I -i en0 -e -s 256 type mgt subtype disassoc

However, I was wondering if there was some way to manipulate this command to scan for both disassociation and deauthentication packets at the same time? E.g. the command:
$ tcpdump -l -I -i en0 -e -s 256 type mgt subtype deauth disassoc

will obviously not work but I hope that helps you get an idea of what I'm asking.
Furthermore, I completely understand that simply using the command:
$ tcpdump -l -I -i en0 -e -s 256 type mgt

will show me all management frames including both disassociation and deauthentication packets but will get clogged with other irrelevant frames like beacons, probe requests etc.
Indeed, I am aware that a simple grep implementation for example could remove pretty much all unwanted packets and leave just disassociation and deauthentication packets but I feel that this is a rather bodged way of doing it and would require more, inefficient, bash computational time to try and parse each line of every single management frame flying through the air.
Is there a simple way to modify the above tcpdump command to have it detect the two packet types I want? Or is it the case that I will have to look for a different sort of solution like with grep as I mentioned above?
P.S. I am on OSX rather than Linux.

A: As described in the tcpdump manpage, you can combine filters wth keywords and , or, and not. You can use parentheses for grouping (note that to have your shell parse the command line correctly, you'll likely need quotes):
 tcpdump -l -I -i en0 -e -s 256 'type mgt and (subtype deauth or subtype disassoc)'

How to Recover When Rumors About Your Brand Go Viral and Become Urban Legend
August 23, 2011 by Kami Huyse
How does the average person know if an urban legend is true or false?
It has happened to all of us. You get an email from a parent, a friend, the guy who likes to send jokes.
Usually it looks something like the image of the email below which claims Tyson Foods is eliminating the American Labor Day holiday for the Muslim Eid Al-Fitr holiday.
Usually it claims that the company in question did something horrible, unAmerican, and insert your own concerns here.
Usually, these types of claims are only partially true or worse yet, patently false.
What if Your brand gets hijacked by an urban legend?
Usually when I get one of these emails, I head over to Snopes.com, a website that does a pretty good job of getting the details of these rumors right. In this case, the email received above had a warning at the end that they checked it out on Snopes, and they found an article from 2008 corroborated their point of view.
However, the article is from 2008, and as I write this it is 2011. This was about a single Tyson's plant in Shelbyville, Tenn., that was negotiating with its largely Somali refugee workforce. Within a few days, the union negotiated to keep Labor Day and let workers choose between a birthday and the Eid holiday.
What Can Companies Do About These Rumors?
When I received this email, I contacted Tyson directly to get some idea of how they were handling the rumors, something very few people do as they pass on an email, ReTweet a message on Twitter or pass something along on Facebook.
Tyson's is hardly alone in being caught up in persistent rumors like these. P&G; underwent something similar with its Swiffer brand, and many others have done the same. You can see the Top 25 Urban Legends of the moment over at Snopes.com.
Step 1: Get Out Your Own Statement
The first step is to put out a statement out your own media room or blog. It helps to have a balanced view out there when people go to search. You can click on the photo above to see how Tyson handled its Labor Day Rumor.
Step 2: Submit Up-to-Date Info About the Rumor
Snopes.com is the go-to source to learn about the veracity of many rumors. Other sites also deal with rumors, including FactCheck.org, which focuses on political rumors, and even debunked this one about Snopes.com.
The site at Snopes,com has a Contact section, as well as sections to submit a rumor and/or a video. According to those that have done this, Snopes doesn't necessarily respond immediately, so be persistent.
About.com also has a rumor section called About Urban Legends, so be sure to contact them as well.
Step 3: Get Third Parties to Pass on Correct News
Illustration of David and Barbara Mikkelson by Matt Weems, and used by permission of Yahoo.
Most rumors start with a kernel of truth, Snopes founders David and Barbara Mikkelson say in this interview in the New York Times last year.
There are many people (like me) that always take the time to look up rumors and get back to the person who sent it on to us. It seems that if a few reporters and bloggers tell the real story it leaves electronic breadcrubs for others looking who are reticent to just pass things on by like to get to the bottom of a story – lIke this opinion piece by Stephanie Salter in the Edmondsun.com, which takes chain letter writers to task and mentions several brands that were targeted by this practice.
Some people won't believer the true versions of facts, but these breadcrumbs allow a brand to point to third-party debunking of the rumor and to minimize damage.
Step 4: Contact People Directly
One way to stop rumors is to respond to emails that are incorrect with up-to-date information. Also, if it is a blog post, to leave a comment as a brand representative with the correct info and a link back to a statement, like the one Tyson Foods has on its site. At that site I might also add a link to Snopes and other third-party and credible information.
Has your brand over faced a rumor like this? What would you recommend that other brands do when they find themselves in a persistent and untrue email chain letter, Facebook campaign or Twitter scalding?

Ten Days in a Mad-House is a book by American journalist Nellie Bly. It was initially published as a series of articles for the New York World; Bly later compiled the articles into a book, being published by Ian L. Munro in New York City in 1887.
The book was based on articles written while Bly was on an undercover assignment for the New York World, feigning insanity at a women's boarding house, so as to be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. She then investigated the reports of brutality and neglect at the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island.
The book received acclaim from critics at the time. Accumulation of her reportage and the release of her content brought her fame and led to a grand jury investigation and financial increase in the Department of Public Charities and Corrections.
Bly left the Pittsburgh Dispatch in 1887 for New York City. Penniless after four months, she talked her way into the offices of Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper the New York World, and took an undercover assignment for which she agreed to feign insanity to investigate reports of brutality and neglect at the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island.
After a night spent practicing expressions in front of a mirror, she checked into a boardinghouse. She refused to go to bed, telling the boarders that she was afraid of them and that they looked "crazy." They soon decided that she was "crazy," and the next morning summoned the police. Taken to a courtroom, she claimed to have amnesia. The judge concluded she had been drugged.
Several doctors then examined her; all declared her insane. "Positively demented," said one, "I consider it a hopeless case. She needs to be put where someone will take care of her." The head of the insane pavilion at Bellevue Hospital pronounced her "undoubtedly insane". The case of the "pretty crazy girl" attracted media attention: "Who Is This Insane Girl?" asked the New York Sun. The New York Times wrote of the "mysterious waif" with the "wild, haunted look in her eyes" and her desperate cry: "I can't remember I can't remember."
"My teeth chattered and my limbs were goose-fleshed and blue with cold. Suddenly I got, one after the other, three buckets of water over my head—ice-cold water, too—into my eyes, my ears, my nose and my mouth."
After ten days, the asylum released Bly at The World's behest. Her report, published in The World and later released as a book, caused a sensation and brought her lasting fame.
The question in hand was how Nellie managed to convince professionals of her insanity in the first place. As revealed in her first hand account, "Ten Days in a Madhouse", Nellie spoke on how the main physician that performed her examination was more focused on the attractive nurse that was assisting the examination than with Nellie herself. While physicians and staff worked to explain how she had deceived so many professionals, Bly's report prompted a grand jury to launch its own investigation with Bly assisting. The jury's report resulted in an $850,000 increase in the budget of the Department of Public Charities and Corrections. The grand jury also ensured that future examinations were more thorough such that only the seriously ill were committed to the asylum.
An independent film version of 10 Days in a Madhouse, written and directed by Timothy Hines, starring Caroline Barry, Christopher Lambert, Kelly Le Brock and Julia Chantrey, was released in 2015 from Pendragon Pictures.
On January 19, 2019, Lifetime debuted a movie called Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story which stars Christina Ricci as Nellie Bly, Judith Light as Matron Grady, and Josh Bowman as Dr. Josiah.
"American Horror Story: Asylum" was vaguely based on Ten Days in a Madhouse.
In September 2017, a TV series was announced based on 10 Days in a Madhouse, written by Sarah Thorp, starring Kate Mara as Bly, executive produced by Mara, Thorp, and Carolyn Newman for Entertainment One, Danjaq and The Frederick Zollo Company.
In March 2018, a stage version of Ten Days in a Madhouse written and directed by Tony Vezner was produced at Concordia University in Irvine, California.

The Find Blog: Citrus-Scented Pampering with Grapefruit-Infused Bath Products!
Other than sunscreen and salty beach air, nothing smells quite like summer than light, refreshing, citrusy scents. True, the last thing you want to do in the sweltering weather is lounge in a bath for hours, but that's no reason to skimp on pampering, and grapefruit bath products are on our radar to let you lather in a way that will leave you feeling clean and refreshed, even if you're keeping your shower short, sweet, and on especially hot days, lukewarm. Think of grapefruit as a sophisticated step up from the summer lemonade stands of your youth — it's still sweet, punchy and summery, but with a bittersweet kick that keeps it wearable as a fragrance and not too sugary-sweet to lather up or lotion with. Plus, grapefruit itself has plenty of skin-boosting properties, from revitalizing vitamin C, moisturizing fatty acids, and toning oils. Whether you're in it for its skin-smoothing abilities or just the summery aromatherapy, grapefruit will have you feeling refreshed and revitalized, no matter how hot the day!
