Quadricep muscle contracts differently after ACL reconstruction, may contribute to lingering weakness
After an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, it's common to experience quadriceps weakness, which was thought to be caused primarily by muscle atrophy, or shrinkage.

Q: Can ios users connect and play with PC users? I have Terraria on Steam and on mobile, but I want to know if I can connect with PC users.
I believe my friend has accomplished this, but I do not know how. Is this possible? How do you do it if so?

A: No you cannot connect between Terraria on PC and Terraria on mobile.
The simple reason for this is that the two games are completely different. As I'm sure you would know since you have both versions, there are many changes between the two games such as different enemies and items. It would be impossible for the two different games to be able to connect.

Miguel Cabrera chasing 3,000 hits: Tigers star falls short of milestone
Madeline Snider April 21, 2022 2 min read
Detroit Tiger designated hitter Miguel Cabrera They will have to wait to join the club of 3,000 people. On Thursday afternoon, Cabrera went 0 for 3 with a picnic in Detroit's win over New York Yankees (Date 3, New York 0). Walking marked because The Yankees team marched intentionally With Cabrera with the runners in the second and third places and two in the eighth period. The Tigers were leading 1-0 at the time, and the move to the left set up the left match with Lucas Lutegg And Austin Meadows.
"We've got a lot of respect for the lawns behind Cabrera," he said. Yankees coach Aaron Boone said after the game. "Just left on the left, I felt like the match, I liked it better in that case. Call baseball for me there. Tough decision…a little sadder than usual."
Cabrera will then try to get his number 3000 when Colorado Rockies Head to Detroit for a three-game talk series this weekend. He has three more matches to achieve the feat in front of the home crowd before the road trip.
The 39-year-old recently played in MLB's 20th season, and was originally signed by then-Florida Marlins outside Venezuela. He made his league debut in 2003, just months after celebrating his 20th birthday. His first hit, as fate would have it, was to run home. The Cabrera picked up three hits Wednesday night to hit 2,999.
Cabrera spent five years in total with the Marlins, and was awarded MVP in each. He finished his career in Florida with career scores of 842 hits and 138 home runs, plus a slash of .313/.388/.542 (143 OPS+).
Marilyn traded Cabrera and left-back debutante Dontrell Willis to the Tigers in December 2007. Florida in return received, among other things, Andrew Miller And Cameron Maybin.
The Cabrera has spent the past 14 years with the Tigers, rallying a .310/.387/.528 slasher (145 OPS+). Just last season, Cabrera made his 500th home run. As a result, Cabrera will be only the seventh member of the club with a death toll of 3,000, who has also reached 500 or more times, to join Henry Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Albert PujolsWillie Mays, Rafael Palmero and Eddie Murray.

During Cabrera's tenure in Detroit, he won a pair of MVP awards (the most notable of which came as part of his Triple Crown victory in 2013) and ran his career totals to 11 All-Star games, seven Silver Slugger Awards, and four batting awards titles.

Brexit, COVID, EU Trade Deal
Nothing is for ever
If and when Britain goes over the no-deal cliff, will anyone notice? Just a slightly different trajectory in the free-fall, perhaps, since we're over the cliff already.
Had the pandemic not intervened, we would have been facing an abrupt and shocking change in fortune on January 1. But whatever happens here onwards will be inevitably be tangled up in post-pandemic depression. For most of us, it will be hard to tell what new realities will be down to COVID or to Brexit.
Or, to put it another way, when you're wallowing in shit, another bucket-full won't make much difference. If we do a deal with the European Union, the cake we end up with will be like one of those stale sponges that come out of a packet on the cross-channel ferry. Not appetising, not exciting, just enough to fill the stomach with empty calories.
If we don't, there will no doubt still be a few airbags that will cushion our collision with the ground. A few single-issue agreements that will prevent us from reverting to the stone age.
Those who persuaded us to go for the dubious proposition of Brexit are unlikely to suffer too much. The ring-leaders might lose their jobs, but no longer being a minister will hardly be as devastating as losing three quarters of your income and possibly your home. Those who egged the government on from the side-lines, especially the group of MPs who ridiculously call themselves the European Research Group, will mostly continue to hold their safe seats in parliament. And the hedge fund operators who placed bets on the nation's misfortune will be wealthier than ever.
The blame game will rage on. Few of us will escape, including those of us who opposed Brexit, who will be cursed for not trying hard enough in the referendum campaign.
But nothing is forever, except death. A no-deal Brexit would be a descent into purgatory, but there will always be ways out. A return to the EU will be difficult to sell to the British public, especially now, as our arse-covering government seeks to blame our former partners for all our misfortunes. And when an institution has been been treated to decades of demonization, it's unlikely to welcome us back to its bosom unless there's an overwhelming advantage in doing so.
But we will find a way of crawling out of the pit, increment by increment. A decade of pain may well force us to find different directions for our country. Greener perhaps. More inventive hopefully. More appreciative of what we've lost by leaving the EU, particularly in terms of movement of labour and cooperation in so many enterprises that we take for granted.
On the other hand, it's possible that riven with envy, impoverished, socially divided and seething with discontent at our lowly status, we shall start looking like a failed state. Our brightest talent will be lured to other shores. Our obsession with surveillance will turn us into China without the energy or sense of purpose. And only the very brave will think of going into politics to fix the problems that the current generation of politicians has allowed to brew, because their reward would be the contempt of a cynical electorate.
Fear not. All is not lost. A brighter future awaits us, literally. As our climate gets warmer, our wine will get better and more plentiful. More people will want to visit us, because the south of Europe will steadily turn into desert. Once half our fields are turned into solar farms we shall be able to scoot around in our electric cars on cheaper electricity. Yes, a good proportion of our south-east coast will have turned into salt marshes, but malaria won't be a problem because our clever scientists are on the verge of developing a vaccine.
With a bit of luck, we'll be able to do what the Japanese did after World War Two, and recover our economy by producing cheap knock-offs of stuff invented elsewhere. Except that in our case it will be stuff like drones, vaccines, nuclear fusion devices, cryptocurrencies and industrial espionage devices. I jest, of course.
The first thing we will need to do is to understand how the world will work post-COVID. This will especially be the case in terms of education, the workplace and the economy. If we can get ahead of the curve and build an education system focused on value instead of qualifications, re-invent our inner cities so that they don't rely on offices for their prosperity and find ways of evening up economic activity across the country, then we might find ourselves getting there faster than many other countries.
And if we can enter our new era completely shorn of our grandiose pretensions as a world power, perhaps we can also do without the means to punch above our weight militarily, which would mean giving up our nukes and much of our expensive hardware.
It would be nice to think that we can emerge from Brexit and COVID conforming to all those clichés so easily bandied about: leaner, fitter, more agile, inventive and creative.
But actually, if there's one thing I crave which all those dynamic qualities will in not in themselves deliver, it's happiness. Unfortunately, that might take a while. But if our future governments, businesses and other institutions proceed with that aim uppermost in their minds, it would certainly be a start.
Because I get the impression that over the past decade we've forgotten how to be happy.

Newly Launched World Endometriosis Organisations Emphasizes Collaboration
by Mary Chapman
The World Endometriosis Organisations (WEO) was recently officially launched, with the goal of improving health outcomes for the roughly 200 million patients with endometriosis worldwide, as well as to address major issues affecting them.
With 27 member organizations across the world, the WEO is affiliated with the World Endometriosis Society (WES), which advances evidence-based standards and innovations for education, advocacy, clinical care, and investigations in endometriosis, in collaboration with global partners. The newly established WEO encourages organizations to join WES.
WEO arose from the WES 2017 World Congress on Endometriosis, where stakeholders decided to establish a global network of organizations that emphasizes collaborative efforts in advocacy, education, research, enhanced caregiver support, and better awareness and understanding of the disease that affects 1 in 10 females of reproductive age.
Each year, WEO member organizations must establish and work toward goals in their respective countries. The primary WEO goal this year is to heighten awareness of endometriosis in young people.
"While the disease has plagued people for centuries, it has been swept under the carpet, overlooked in importance and usually given little or no priority in health sectors around the world," founding principal Deborah Bush, CEO of Endometriosis New Zealand, said in a press release. "Worse still, the disease starts young — often from a child's first menstrual period — and it can have a debilitating effect on schooling, careers, relationships, everyday function and fertility."
Kathleen King, chairwoman of the Endometriosis Association of Ireland, said the WEO has the potential to make a meaningful impact.
"For too long, endometriosis has been misdiagnosed and misunderstood," she said. "Coming together under a strong body like the WEO will allow us to educate, advocate, and represent those living with endometriosis. This partnership ensures a high standard of information being shared with all those involved in the care, research and support of endometriosis."
Abeesha Toussaint, chairwoman of the Trinidad and Tobago Endometriosis Association, called for a continued structured approach in getting more professionals involved in improving health outcomes and patients' life quality.
"Patients' stories seem most profound as there is increased awareness of varying signs and symptoms of endometriosis," she said. "However, in this context, increased awareness does not equate with improvement in health outcomes for endometriosis patients. They still suffer at the hand of this disease — ineffective and often outdated treatment, significantly reduced quality of life, chronic pain, sub-fertility and infertility, exhausted financial resources, and high absenteeism at schools and workplaces."
According to Bush, the disorder causes 27% of school-age patients to miss classes on a nearly monthly basis, a figure she called "scandalous."
For her part, Asdis Bragadottir, treasurer of the Endometriosis Association of Iceland, lamented the more than eight years it usually takes for patients to be diagnosed, mostly because disease symptoms mimic other disorders. The delay puts patients who aren't being treated at risk of infertility, she said.
"Some drop out of school and others lose their job due to too many sick days. This delay is not acceptable and needs to be addressed by health officials all over the world," she said.
WEO's steering committee includes members of endometriosis organizations from Ireland, Iceland, New Zealand, and Trinidad and Tobago. Its 27 member organizations are in Romania, Barbados, Hungary, Australia, France, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, the Maldives, the United States, Ghana, Kenya, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Turkey.

Supreme Court Ruling Will Chill Technology Innovation
Copyright Liability Standard in Grokster Decision Endangers P2P and Other New Technologies
Washington, DC - Today the Supreme Court issued a ruling that could impede makers of all kinds of technologies with expensive lawsuits. The long-awaited decision in MGM v. Grokster states that P2P software manufacturers can be held liable for the infringing activities of people who use their software. This decision relies on a new theory of copyright liability that measures whether manufacturers created their wares with the "intent" of inducing consumers to infringe. It means that inventors and entrepreneurs will not only bear the costs of bringing new products to market, but also the costs of lawsuits if consumers start using their products for illegal purposes.
"Today the Supreme Court has unleashed a new era of legal uncertainty on America's innovators," said Fred von Lohmann, EFF's senior intellectual property attorney. "The newly announced inducement theory of copyright liability will fuel a new generation of entertainment industry lawsuits against technology companies. Perhaps more important, the threat of legal costs may lead technology companies to modify their products to please Hollywood instead of consumers."
The Supreme Court has also ordered the lower court to consider whether peer-to-peer companies Grokster and StreamCast can be held liable under the new standard. StreamCast is confident that it will pass muster under the new, multi-pronged test.
MGM v. Grokster was brought by 28 of the world's largest entertainment companies against the makers of the Morpheus, Grokster, and KaZaA filesharing software products in 2001. The entertainment companies hoped to obtain a legal precedent that would hold all technology makers responsible for the infringements committed by the users of their products. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with StreamCast counsel Matt Neco and Charles Baker of Porter and Hedges, defended StreamCast Networks, the company behind the Morpheus filesharing software.
The entertainment companies lost their case in District Court, then lost again on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The lower court rulings were based on the Supreme Court's landmark decision in the 1984 Sony Betamax case, which determined that Sony was not liable for copyright violations by users of the Betamax VCR.

In fact, the Electronic Frontier Foundation notes that there is no law requiring registrars to disconnect pirate sites. "Domain registrars do not have an obligation to respond to a random third party's complaints about...

Ghost of Antipiracy Bill SOPA Haunts New Copyright Push
"Copyright touches everyone's lives now because we all have copying devices in our pockets and in our homes," said Mitch Stoltz, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Ever wondered whether you can ride your horse on the tube? Grate cheese? Do the splits? We know we have. But happily, the Berlin Transport Authority (BVG) has made a video to answer all these burning questions - and more.
The latest advert by BVG has whipped up a storm across Europe - and it's not hard to guess why.
In "Ist mir egal" ("I don't care"), rapper Kazim Akboga - in uniform as a BVG official - gives passengers the low-down on proper etiquette when travelling with BVG.
"The whole meaning of the video is to have fun," BVG spokesperson Josefin Langer told The Local.
"We want to tell everyone that it's not important how you look, where you come from, or what skin colour you have - we're just here to take you from one place to another."
It's a message that's particularly important as thousands of refugees arrive in Berlin, she added.
The track appeared on YouTube on Friday 11th December, and BVG's link to the video received almost 9,000 shares within the first five hours of appearing on Facebook.
"It's gone through Europe!" said Langer. "We've had calls from Finland, France, Austria..."
It turns out there are quite a few things Akboga "doesn't care" about.
Whether all of these correspond with BVG's official rules is another thing - but it's pretty entertaining, either way.
Ok, this isn't weird. Actually, it's pretty unavoidable.
Bonus points to anyone who can resist the urge to yawn when looking at this picture. We didn't manage it.
Oh come on. It may be surprisingly mild for December in Berlin... but it's not that warm.
The guys in the video are sombrero-clad and playing guitars - but we reckon you'd get away with most genres. Even techno, probably.
What's a Berliner to do when they move house? Pay for a removal company?!
Of course not. If the sofa fits on the tube, it's travelling by tube.
Because if there's one thing more exciting than cantering through grassy meadows, it's getting the U2 to Pankow.
It does save seats, we guess.
We have a sneaking feeling we've seen something like this before.
Do those things even exist?!
If nothing else, it's a good way to make sure no-one wants to sit next to you.
Well, you've already done the onions. You might as well.
...nope. We genuinely have no idea what this one's about.
Or as Akboga puts it, a "potato nose."
We think that's pretty mean. The girl in the video doesn't even have that big a nose.
Because if you didn't take a selfie on the tube, did you even go on the tube?
Of course, some of the video's points should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt - but BVG aren't about to let that get in the way of their fun.
"Some lines contradict the terms of transportation? We don't care," the company commented on its Facebook post about the video.
"Of course we're joking about many things in the video," Langer told The Local.
"This is just our way of saying: it's not important to us what you look like or where you come from. It's just important that you're a nice person - and that you buy a ticket!"
Yep: even BVG draws the line at some things.
It's all fun and games until someone dresses up as a ticket machine to hide from the conductor.
In conclusion: bring your horse, your onions, your robot, your crop top and your pug. Just don't forget your wallet.

Tate Modern looks at how Pop art made a big noise right around the world...
Rob Wilkes • 16 October, 2015
If you had to reel off a quick list of the most important, famous or influential Pop artists, chances are — unless you're a keen scholar of the genre — that the usual suspects would be uppermost in your minds: Warhol, Lichtenstein, Blake.
Jerzy Ryszard "Jurry" Zielinski,
Bez Buntu 1970
Pop art is generally thought of as an Anglo-American movement, and there's no doubting that those aforementioned luminaries deserve their place in the pantheon of Pop greats.
The association of Pop art with "the West", and specifically the Anglo-American axis, stems in large part to Pop's symbiotic relationship with commercial, corporate and celebrity culture. In other parts of the world such as Latin America and the Middle East, however, artists embraced Pop's ability to effectively engage with the masses for subversive purposes. International practitioners used the medium to satirise mainstream society, to critique the excesses of consumerism, and to attack the political classes, and the work of these lesser-known but important international Pop artists is up for examination in a groundbreaking exhibition at Tate Modern.
The World Goes Pop features around 160 works from the 1960s and '70s, covering many themes from anti-imperialism, environmental protest and gender politics. The exhibition is being held in the venue's Eyal Ofer galleries from 17 September this year to 24 January 2016.

In truth, modern fireplaces aren't really a thing. Unless you want one custom designed by yours truly.
What makes it modern? The Bolero features a strong, geometric polished surface. The design almost resembles a household appliance from the 1930's.
The Classic Arch brings out a prohibition era style with the bold geometric lines. We're almost getting into the style of chrome highlights with this one, but the simple lines keep this unit modern.
What makes the above direct vent lines modern fireplaces?
Their simplicity and undefined style. You could call them contemporary, but they have a bit of a retro look. They look so clean and classic, they can fit in with any style of space. Which makes them perfect for those wanting to incorporate a modern style to their living area, and are having a rough time finding a truly modern gas fireplace.

This might well inspire you to look up a little more often.
Perhaps the fact the moon appears each night has led us to take it for granted, but two men in Los Angeles are attempting to change that.
The following film, by Alex Gorosh and Wylie Overstreet, shows the pair travelling around LA showing passers-by the moon through their special telescope.
The result is a short film which may well inspire you to look up a little more often.
The film took some time to put together – 10 nights' work over the course of a year – but was worth it.
"Finding a moment we both had free, with the moon in the right phase and up at the right hour, with clear skies, is a hard confluence to organise," said Wylie.
The stunned reactions were the result of viewing the moon through a 12-inch collapsible Dobsonian reflector telescope – "a design more or less unchanged since it was invented by (Sir Isaac) Newton 400 years ago", said Wylie.
"The magnification however happens in the eyepiece – a Televue 13mm Ethos – which is a bit of a legend in the amateur astronomy world," he continued.
Perhaps that explains the amazed reactions which, along with the clear image of the moon, make the film what it is.
"No single person stood out to us because everyone – and I mean everyone – was surprised and delighted to some degree," said Wylie.
To see more of the pair's work, Alex's website can be found here, while Wylie's is available here.

You can be forced to print various documents at some junctures. When it is your time you need to find the best printing service. It is becoming a change to most people when finding just one printing service out of the many existing. There are things that you need to note at this point to help you in choosing. Deliberated below are guiding tips that you need to follow when you need to employ a printing service in Las Vegas.
Start by looking at the size of the printing shop. On this aspect, there are the tiny and the huge printing service whereby the tiny has few clients at a go and the gigantic on has the maximum number of clients ta the same time. You need to follow up and ensure that you work with the ting printing store. In the small-sized printing service you don't have to make a queue to wait for the services. You need to know that they can serve you immediately you get to the store. You need to find if the potential printing service is a small or a hive firm first.
The printing fee needs to be the next thing that you need to note. You need to know that these services are at a reasonable charge. However, different printing services have a set price for this service. You need to create ample time to find about the charge of different printing stores. This is a guarantee that you can choose the one with an affordable printing fee.
Still, the proximity of the printing shop need some deliberation. Today, there are printing stores in different parts. This means that you can find one near your premises. Here you need to find for the best printing service near your premises. If you decide to hire a printing store located near your house be confident that you can take a short duration to be in the premises. It is important to know that you can always go to the printing store when you need some document you need to be printed all the time without having a hard time.
Finally, you need to consider the clearness of the printing system. At all cost, you need to choose a printing service with the machines producing clear documents. In this case, the clearness of the printers cannot be foretold, you need to have evidence. It is advisable to have a simple sample of the work of the printer. If the printed documents are clear and readable by all people then you can work with that particular a printing service and if they are not it is advisable to go ahead and find another store with a printer producing clear documents.

Q: xls-to-json not working in Node.js I want to convert .xls file in JSON format I have used xls-to-json module for the same.
when I used xlsx-to-json module it is working fine. but I don't want to read .xlsx file. it is giving me an error with :
TypeError: Cannot set property length of [object Object] which has only a getter.
I am unable to find an error. is there any other module to convert .xls file in JSON.
here is my code :
 var node_xj = require("xls-to-json");
 app.get('/file',function(req,res){
        node_xj({
            input: 'file.xls',  // input xls
            output: "output.json", // output json
            sheet: "sheetname",  // specific sheetname
        }, function(err, result) {
            if(err) {
                console.error(err);
            } else {
                console.log(result);
            }
        });
    });

A: That package supports only the new xlsx format used by MS Excel.
The easiest option would be to save the file as comma-delimited csv file (as the format is available in most softwares) and use a csv to json converter.
There's a nice one here - https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv

A: You can use path module to get file extension, and if the file extension is match then execute the parsing code
var node_xj = require("xls-to-json");
var path = require('path');
app.get('/file', function(req, res) {
  //Give file name with extension e.g, file.xls
  if (path.extname('file.xls') === '.xls') {
    node_xj({
      input: 'file.xls', // input xls
      output: "output.json", // output json
      sheet: "sheetname", // specific sheetname
    }, function(err, result) {
      if (err) {
        console.error(err);
      } else {
        console.log(result);
      }
    });
  }
});

Update
This is not an issue of this module, but the issue comes from third-party module dependency xlsjs
here is the opened issue you can see the updates

A: You can use this module, note I am the author.

A: The xls-to-json-lc's package has been merged into xlsx-to-json-lc's package. Just use the Xlsx for both types of extensions and will work fine.

Essential Readings: The United States and Iraq before Saddam Hussein's Rule
Posted by Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt | Jul 20, 2018 | Essential Readings | 0 |
By: Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt and the Middle East Studies Pedagogy Initiative (MESPI)
The United States has been engaged in nearly continuous military conflict in Iraq since the 1980s. These interventions have shattered Iraqi political institutions, devastated the country's infrastructure, sown the seeds of sectarian division, and destabilized the region causing untold millions to suffer and die needless deaths. What would cause the Americans to visit such violence on Iraq? The violent unmaking of social and political order in Iraq, and the larger region, did not happen overnight. It was decades in the making. The roots of American foreign policy in Iraq reach back to the post-WWI era, when American oil companies first imagined the country as a site of profitable investment. However, many Americans know little to nothing of this history. This is by design. American empire grows in the shadows; by covert means and always with plausible deniability. American government and media represent US interventions in Iraq as part of a good faith effort to advance democracy, human rights, and/or some vague and nebulous notion of American "national interests." A politically sufficient segment of American society is happy to buy this narrative. Others, in the United States and around the world, have grown tired of American propaganda, and demand a truer account of the deep political and economic roots of American foreign policy. Fortunately, there is a growing body of high-quality scholarship for critical readers to consult. This post introduces some essential readings on the history of US-Iraqi relations to the late 1960s.
William Stivers in Supremacy and Oil: Iraq, Turkey, and the Anglo-American World Order, 1918-1930 (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1982).
Stivers offers one of the few in-depth analyses of US-Iraqi relations in the pre-WWII era. Though Iraq is only one aspect of a larger regional analysis, Stivers employs a "corporatist" analytical framework to illuminate the ways in which private corporations pressured the US government into pursuing an "open door" policy in Iraq that would afford American oil companies a share of the country's oil production.
Simon Davis, Contested Space: Anglo-American Relations in the Persian Gulf, 1939–1947(Boston: Brill, 2009).
Christopher D. O'Sullivan, FDR and the End of Empire: The Origins of American Power in the Middle East (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012).
These books show a growing interest in US-Iraq relations during WWII. Both examine the US-British relations in the broader region and document what can be described as a kind of "Iraqi exceptionalism" in US policy toward the region. In contrast to arguments about an "Anglo-American special relationship" and common purpose in the war, these studies show that US-British relations were marked by friction (especially in Egypt and Iran) owing to pre-existing commercial rivalries, and clashing visions of postwar global order. However, both authors note that the United States showed a remarkable degree of deference toward British interests in Iraq. Neither author fully explains why the United States showed deference to Britain in Iraq while challenging British interests in Iran and Egypt.
Nicholas G. Thacher, "Reflections on US Foreign Policy towards Iraq in the 1950s," in Robert Fernea and William Roger Louis (eds.), The Iraqi Revolution of 1958: The Old Social Classes Revisited. (London: I.B. Tauris, 1991), 62-76.
Frederick W. Axelgard, "US Support for the British Position in Pre-Revolutionary Iraq," in Robert Fernea and William Roger Louis (eds.), The Iraqi Revolution of 1958: The Old Social Classes Revisited. (London: I.B. Tauris, 1991), 77-94.
Jeffrey G. Karam, "Missing the revolution: the American intelligence failure in Iraq," 1958, Intelligence and National Security 32, no.6 (2017), 693-709
These articles show that the deference afforded to British interests during WWII continued into the postwar era. All three authors demonstrate that US support for the British position, and by extension to Britain's client regime in Iraq, undermined the legitimacy of that regime and helped give rise to the 1958 Free Officers' Revolution. Thacher's article is unique in that he was a Foreign Service officer in the US embassy during the 1958 Revolution. Axelgard was the first to use US archival documents to largely substantiate Thacher's recollections. Karam employs a political science methodology to analyze why US intelligence agencies were unable to predict the 1958 Revolution. Each in their own way comes to the same conclusion: the very factors that endeared Iraq's Hashemite regime to Britain and the United States (its brutality, pliability, and repression of Communists and other democratic forces), were the very same factors that drove the people of Iraq to revolt.
Malik Mufti, "The United States and Nasserist Pan-Arabism," in The Middle East and the United States: A Historical and Political Reassessment, ed. David W. Lesch. (Boulder: Westview Press, 2003), 168-87.
Nathan Citino, "Middle East Cold Wars: Oil and Arab Nationalism in US-Iraqi Relations, 1958-1961," in The Eisenhower Administration, the Third World, and the Globalization of the Cold War, ed. Kathryn C. Statler and Andrew L. Johns, (Lanham, MD: Rowman and Littlefield, 2006), 245-69.
Mufti and Citino make a compelling argument that US policy to Abdel Karim Qasim and his Free Officers' regime (1958-63) is best understood in the context of America's larger approach to dealing with Nasser and pan-Arab nationalism. Mufti shows that American policy makers were divided with regard to Nasser. The John Foster Dulles Cold War faction insisted on seeing Nasser as a Soviet proxy (despite all evidence to the contrary). The rival State Department Arabist faction, on the other hand, insisted on pointing out Nasser was not a communist that that he was actively suppressing communists in Egypt and Syria, and was trying to overthrow Qasim, because of Qasim's close ties to the Soviet Union and the Iraqi Communist Party.
Citino shows how American foreign policymakers in the Eisenhower administration were able to turn the "Arab Cold War," between Nasser and Qasim, to their own advantage. The United States worked to exacerbate tensions between the two Arab leaders, so as to contain the Arab nationalist threat to Western oil interests in the region. Citino sees the formation of OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) in September 1960, which included conservative regimes such as those in Iran and Saudi Arabia, but excluded Nasser's Egypt, as the culmination of this ultimately successful strategy.

Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt, "Embracing Regime Change: U.S. Foreign Policy and the 1963 Coup in Iraq," Diplomatic History 39, no.1 (2015), 98-125.
CIA involvement in the 1963 coup that first brought the Ba'th to power in Iraq has been an open secret for decades. American government and media have never been asked to fully account for the CIA's role in the coup. On the contrary, the US government has put forward and official narrative riddled with holes–redactions that cannot be declassified for "national security" reasons. Despite such gaps in the archival record, both Jacobsen and myself have read the documents "against the grain" to analyze the logic of American foreign policy, and to explore the motives of US foreign policy toward Qasim's government. I focus on the Kennedy administration's response to a 1961 oil nationalization law and see CIA collaboration with the Ba'th as part of an effort to preserve existing oil concessions in the region. Jacobsen focuses on the delivery of arms to the Ba'thist regime that replaced Qasim in February 1963.

Matthews looks closely at the Iraqi side of the US-Iraqi relationship. His 2011 article shows that many of the key Ba'thist commanders that carried out the February 1963 coup and an extensive communist purge received police and paramilitary training and equipment from the International Police Academy in Washington, DC (a counterinsurgency training center). His 2015 article analyzes the collaboration between American labor unions and Iraqi labor unions. While American labor enlisted in the Cold War struggle by attempting to organize "non-Communist unions" in the Third World, the effort failed in Iraq. Iraqi labor unions ultimately used ties to the Ba'th to advance a radical agenda that entailed mobilizing a mass following to fundamentally alter social and property relations in the country. The internal divisions within the Iraqi Ba'thist movement is an important factor explaining why the Ba'this regime was overthrown by Nasserist rivals in November 1963.

Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt, "Oil Sovereignty, American Foreign Policy, and the 1968 Coups in Iraq," Diplomacy & Statecraft 28, no.2 (June 2017), 235-53.
In these articles, Avneri and myself examine recently declassified US State Department records to analyze American foreign policy toward the two-phase coup that brought the Ba'th back to power in Iraq in July 1968. After seizing power in February 1963, the Ba'th was overthrown in Nasserist counter-coup in November 1963. After five years out of power, Ba'thist leaders Hasan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein allied with non-Ba'thist military officers to overthrow the Nasserist regime that had been in power since 1963. Two weeks later, Bakr and Hussein launched a second coup that ousted their non-Ba'thist collaborators. Both Avneri and myself see a significant American role in the events that brought the Ba'th to power. However, whereas Avneri sees consistent US support for the Ba'th, I focus on the divisions among policymakers and find that only one faction of the US government supported the coup. The more dominant faction within the Lyndon Johnson administration refused to accommodate the new regimes for fear of the threat that it might pose to Israel.

In this article I elaborate on many of the themes briefly summarized above. I offer an overview of the history of US-Iraq relations to 2003, discuss major problems in the historiography, describe important primary source collections, and provide links to audio and visual materials.
Conclusion: Seeing Like a Democracy
Priya Satia, Spies in Arabia: The Great War and the Cultural Foundations of Britain's Covert Empire in the Middle East (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008).
Hugh Wilford, America's Great Game: The CIA's Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East (New York: Basic Books, 2013).
Though it focuses on an earlier period of Iraqi history, prior to the advent of America's "covert empire" in the Middle East, Priya Satia's Spies in Arabia constitutes and essential conceptual foundation for understanding America's subsequent involvement in the region. In this book, Satia develops the concept of "covert empire" to explain the British state's response to calls from within British civil society to dismantle Britain's formal empire and establish a truly democratic order at home. Given the lack of democratic legitimacy for British interventions in Iraq, British policymakers resorted to ever more secret, and ever more violent, means of social control. During the interwar period, British policymakers believed they could secure supposedly "vital" oil interests in Iraq by deploying airpower against rebellious Iraqi tribes. The efforts of British policymakers to retain their overseas empire in the face of an increasingly assertive and democratic civil society had predictably tragic human consequences in Iraq. The American effort to construct an empire in the Middle East without the American people learning of it produced an equally violent farce.
Much of the work that remains to be done in the field of US-Iraqi relations concerns the effort to tease out and catalog the atrocities underwritten by American foreign policy. It is important to recognize the ways in which US interventions have intersected with and exacerbated existing social and political divisions in Iraq while creating new ones. The best work in this vein will follow scholars such as Nathan Citino and Weldon Matthews in presenting close textual analysis of Iraqi and other Arabic materials. The most meaningful insights about American foreign policy may be written in Arabic. The truth of American power is always clearest on the receiving end.
Another area rich for further analysis is, following Satia, the cultural history of American imperialism, and the cultural worldview of American spies in particular. Hugh Wilford's America's Great Game presents an important analysis of the cultural make up of some of the most well-known American spies of the 1950s. New research could extend this analysis into the 1960s to reveal the cast of characters lurking in the shadows in search of new opportunities to expand America's covert empire in the "age of modernization." To truly "see like a democracy," as Satia puts it, we must shine a light in those places that America's covert empire-builders would prefer that we not look. We must also analyze and deconstruct the paranoid epistemologies that give rise to America's violent pathologies, as well as the self-serving mythologies that are presented to the public to legitimate the exercise of American secret power abroad.
