This is the sixth article in a series of 7 articles on the 7 "categories" of evil spirits that the Scriptures describe. This article will focus on the "Perizzites". It is very important to understand how each of these evil spirits operates in order to recognize if our hearts are currently "infected" with any of them, and to recognize them in the hearts of others. These spirits are real, and their effects in people's lives are devastatingly real, so it is important to recognize their modus operandi.
Throughout this series, whenever we refer to a "Perizzite", for example, we may be referring to a Perizzite spirit or to a person "infected" with that type of spirit.
Since villages impart a sense of "smallness", villagers tend to see themselves as small and insignificant people who are a small part of a small and insignificant community. People trapped by the Perizzite spirit, therefore, see themselves as people with little potential whose only task in life is to live a quiet biological existence and to stay out of the way of the people who are "really" important in this world. Perizzites not only believe in their own smallness, but also believe in the smallness of the "villagers" around them, including their children. The Perizzite spirit, therefore, can lead to many generations of spiritual stagnation. Since stagnation always leads to poverty (in the material and in the spiritual realm), Perizzite spirits tend to produce many generations of spiritual (and even literal) poverty.
Because of his disability, Mephibosheth grew up to be a person with a very low self-esteem. Notice how Mephibosheth, even after hearing David's gracious words, refers to himself as a "dead dog" (v8). Perizzites are cripples, lame people who feel unworthy, who feel spiritually unable to walk on their own.
In all the verses above, the word translated as "before" in phrases such as "walk before Me" is the Hebrew word paniym, which literally means "face". Therefore, the phrase "to walk before the Lord" literally means, "to walk before the face of the Lord". In Scripture, seeing a person "face to face" implies a direct relationship with that person. This is why we, as believers, are called to make judgments, because we have a direct relationship with the Lawgiver Himself. We have been given the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:15-16), meaning that we have an ability to hear from God and to discern His laws and spiritual principles. Since "walking" is related to making judgments and to having a direct relationship with God, we can infer that Perizzites, who are spiritual cripples, are people who believe that they do not have the authority or the ability to make spiritual judgments. As spiritual cripples, Perizzite believers refuse to "walk", and prefer to delegate spiritual judgments to those whom they believe to be more worthy of such an honor than their "tiny" and "insignificant" selves. This creates a relationship of spiritual dependency between the crippled Perizzite believer and those whom he or she considers to be of a higher "spiritual caste".
If "judging" is inherently wrong, why would the Lord Jesus tell us to "judge righteous judgment" in the passage above? Why would Paul, under the anointing of the Spirit, say the following to the believers in Corinth?
If "judging" is inherently wrong, why would Paul say in verse 3 above that he has already "judged that person" (the word "concerning" that appears in verse 3 does not appear in the original Greek text, and was added by the King James translators because, to their natural minds, it sounded inappropriate to translate that Paul judged another human being). Paul then proceeds to tell the Corinthians to deliver the sinning believer unto satan. In 1 Corinthians 5:12, he reprimands them for not judging those within the Church. Does all of the above sound as if judging was a sin? Obviously not!
Why then, did the Lord say "judge not" in Matthew 7:1? Because He was speaking to souls at the time, not to spirits. The entire "Sermon on the Mount", of which Matthew 7:1 is a part, focuses on submission of the soul to the spirit. This is why the Sermon begins with a reference to Jesus "seeing the multitudes" in Matthew 5:1; in Scripture, "multitudes" generally refer to crowds of souls (compare Revelation 6:9-11 with Revelation 7:9). The Sermon then proceeds to talk about soulish concerns such as food and shelter (the word translated as "life" in Matthew 6:25, for example, is the Greek word psyche, which is the same word in Greek for "soul"). The only time that the word "spirit" is mentioned by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount is in Matthew 5:3, where He said, "poor in spirit", referring to those who are "reduced to beggary" by the world for abiding in the Spirit. Since the Word declares that our spirits are rich (1 Corinthians 1:5, 2 Corinthians 6:10, Revelation 2:9), the "poverty" of Matthew 5:3 is referring to poverty of the soul, not the spirit. This means that, even when Jesus mentions the word "spirit" in the Sermon on the Mount, He is talking to our souls, not our spirits.
When we judge in the soul, we judge according to laws devised by our souls according to our own interests and natural understanding. When we judge in the Spirit, we judge not according to our own laws but according to the Laws of God. We become impartial judges who apply His Laws using the mind of Christ, which goes beyond external appearances and can discern the deep things of the heart and mind that are completely invisible to our natural minds (1 Corinthians 2:14-16, Hebrews 4:12).
Perizzite believers are unaware of their spiritual authority to judge, and therefore are to God as spiritual cripples, unable to walk in His judgments and unable to establish God's kingdom authority on Earth. As I was preparing to write this article today (July 3rd, 2004), I heard the Lord say the phrase "Tiny Tim" to my right ear. To be honest with you, I really did not know who "Tiny Tim" was, even though I had heard the name before. The Lord then told me to search the Internet to find out who Tiny Tim was, and, as I did, I stumbled on a story about a little baby who survived an abortion (I found this story at aprisonerofhope.com and faithfulhope.com, but these sites were later deactivated). I also learned that "Tiny Tim" was the name of a character in Dickens' story, "A Christmas Carol" (I guess I did not know about "Tiny Tim" because, for a long time, I have been against Christmas, since its historical origins are pagan, and it is not Biblically based, and no matter how good our intentions may be, Jesus did not command us to celebrate Christmas; that is man trying to find a human way to please God, and God abhors that; Christmas was a humanly devised mechanism to get pagans to convert to Christianity; if you do not agree, I encourage you to please do research on the origins of Christmas and to pray to God that He show you the spiritual underpinnings of Christmas, and to make a judgment on your own, in the Spirit).
From what I found on the Internet about "Tiny Tim", I understood why the Lord whispered this phrase to me when I was preparing to write this article. Tiny Tim was a crippled child in Dickens' story, and the aborted baby named "Tiny Tim" was a young human being that was considered insignificant by his mom, but who was very important in God's eyes (from what I read, I understood that Tiny Tim's mom has repented from what she did, so God has forgiven her). Unfortunately, the Church today is full of Tiny Tims, full of believers whose spiritual calling dies before it gets the opportunity to grow and blossom. Why? Because they buy into the doctrine that preaches the greatness of the "minister" and the littleness of "regular church folk". They buy into the doctrine that says that only full-time ministers can make spiritual judgments and that they are to sit quietly in their pews and take in all that is told to them, without the right to judge what they hear. It angers Almighty God to have a Church lorded over by pastors who have denied believers the right to have direct access to God the Lawgiver, to God the Father, and they have stood as permanent (not temporary) intermediaries between God and the rest of mankind (1 Peter 5:2-3, Matthew 19:6, Galatians 3:19-29). Even though the Church claims to be living in New Testament grace, most of it still believes (spiritually speaking) in the intermediaries of the Old Testament, convinced that only the "Aaronic" priests (i.e.- full-time ministers) have a direct access to the Holy Place and to the Holy of Holies. It grieves and angers God to see a Church full of Perizzite cripples, full of Tiny Tims who are dependent upon man and not directly upon Him, but God has prophesied in His word that the days of these "Aaronic" priests are numbered, and that a mighty people, an awe-inspiring spiritual Church will be raised up in these last days to manifest His Glory on Earth (Zechariah 8:1-23, Micah 7:1-20). This will be a walking remnant, not crippled by man, but empowered with the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
You have made mighty human efforts to abolish abortion from your land, but you will not have spiritual authority to abolish it until you drive out the Perizzites that are inside My Church, says the Lord. I will not give you victory over the enemy outside until you defeat him inside. Stop aborting the spiritual callings of My people, and stop crippling their spiritual authority. My times of judgment are now, says the Lord, and I will roar like a furious lion against those who have crippled My people. I will come against them and tear them to shreds, says the Lord, for I am an awesome God, and the zeal for My people consumes Me.
The Holy Spirit points out that Mephibosheth was 5 years old when he was left crippled. Why "5"? As we have seen in previous articles, "5" is a number that refers to ministerial grace, i.e.- grace imparted by God in order to "minister" (or serve) other people; this is why 5 ministries are listed in Ephesians 4:11. By declaring that Mephibosheth was 5 at the time, the Lord is telling us that Mephibosheth represents, in a spiritual sense, those who have been imparted a grace to minister. Mephibosheth, spiritually speaking, was a minister in God's eyes, in the same way that all of His people are ministers under the New Covenant (Revelation 1:6, Isaiah 61:6, 1 Peter 2:9, 2 Corinthians 5:16-21).
Despite the fact that Mephibosheth represents a minister who had authority to walk on his own, his nurse decided to carry him in her arms when she decided to flee, in the same way that full-time ministers nowadays refuse to allow believers under their care to "walk" on their own (i.e.- to establish kingdom authority and to pronounce spiritual judgments, as we saw above). Since Mephibosheth's nurse was a "she", we can infer that God is referring here to the ministries in the Church that perform a female functionality; as we saw in a previous article, the ministries with a "female" functionality are "pastors" and "teachers". The Church is currently under a pastoral matriarchy that acts as an overprotective mother that smothers the spirit (i.e.- "male") authority of believers in the Body of Christ. Pastors create a state of constant spiritual dependency on them, doing the exact opposite of what good parents do. Even Joseph and Mary had a hard time accepting that Jesus was under their care for a season, and that, eventually, they would have to let Him go so that He could fulfill the Father's calling for His life (Luke 2:41-50, John 2:3-4, Matthew 12:46-50). Good parents want their children to learn to walk, to grow and become increasingly independent, until they are ready to make a life on their own. Bad parents manipulate their children into staying under their control, never letting go, even when the child has left home and is already married; they continue to meddle in the son's or daughter's life and matrimony, and are never willing to cut the umbilical cord. In such cases, not only the parent is at fault. God holds pastors responsible for creating a sense of constant dependency in believers, but God also holds believers responsible for allowing themselves to stay in such a spiritual dependency.
Jesus did not say, "Yes, mommy, whatever you say". By calling her, "woman", Jesus was saying to Mary, "Woman, your time is up; you were faithful as a mother in taking care of me, but now I have to walk like a spirit; Joseph and you were the father and mother of My soul, but don't forget that God is the Father of My spirit. Step aside, woman, and let God operate through Me.
Canaanite pastors, i.e.- "Lot-ic" pastors, smother believers so much that they allow Perizzite spirits to enter the Church and cripple those believers. This is why the Holy Spirit took the time to mention the Canaanites and the Perizzites in Genesis 13:7. If you read the rest of Genesis chapter 13, you will notice that the Canaanites and the Perizzites are not mentioned again. We can therefore say that God mentions them in verse 7 in order to give us a spiritual clue as to what was going on spiritually when Abram and Lot separated.
To answer the question at the top of this section, we can say that Perizzite believers are crippled because of the spiritual over-protectiveness of Canaanite pastors.
The meaning of Mephibosheth's name also reveals the participation of other spirits in the crippling of Perizzite believers. Mephibosheth means, "exterminating the shame", and comes from the Hebrew word bosheth meaning, "shame". The word bosheth comes from the word buwsh that means, "to put to shame, to be disappointed". As we studied in a previous article, the Jebusites are legalistic believers who love to humiliate others and put them to shame. To cause shame in another person is not wrong necessarily; sometimes it is the right thing to do, especially when we, as believers, speak words of judgment that are guided by the Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:5, 1 Corinthians 15:34, 2 Thessalonians 3:14, Titus 2:8). However, as we saw in a previous article, Jebusites are enforcers of "spiritual castes", and make a concerted effort to humiliate and put to shame believers when they begin to manifest their God-given spiritual authority.
"Shame on you for putting My people to shame! Shame on you for stunting the growth of My little ones. Shut up, for it is My time to speak."
The word "Bethesda" comes from the Hebrew words beth, meaning, "house", and checed, meaning, "mercy". Interestingly enough, the word checed can also be translated at times as "reproach, shame". "Bethesda", therefore, represents the modern-day Church, which has been converted from a battle camp for spiritual soldiers into a mere "soul hospital" for weak, sickly, and crippled souls who attend this "house of mercy" where expert doctors (i.e.- pastors) tend to their soul diseases, because, after all, "regular folk" are too spiritually "stupid" to do anything for themselves (or for each other) in God's Anointing. Any of these sickly patients who may dare to stand up and assert his or her spiritual authority is automatically put to shame. This is why Bethesda is not only the "house of mercy" but also the "house of shame". Bethesda, therefore, is a house where "mercy" is used as a subtle spiritual mechanism to preserve the separation between full-time "ministers" and "regular folk". Pastors are the spiritual doctors who went to medical school (i.e.- seminary) and are smart enough to treat the average believer's soul needs. As believers are taught that church is the place where they get "their needs met", instead of the place where they are prepared for battle, believers are lulled into a spiritual dependency on pastors. All battle camps have hospitals to treat the soldiers who are injured in battle, but the pastoral matriarchy, through its "gospel" of human mercy, has turned the Church into a Bethesda-type wasteland of dependent and crippled believers who can do nothing for themselves.
From the two passages quoted above, we can infer that God's wrath is kindled against those who exercise a dependency on ministers and not on Him directly. Those who depend on man are made to wander in the desert until they die; this is why there are so many believers in church who may hold positions as deacons, teachers, elders, etc., whose callings have been cast away by God long, long ago. God cannot use people who relinquish their spiritual responsibility to grow. If you become a Perizzite believer, a "villager" with no spiritual visions and hopes (not only for yourself but for those around you), you are useless in His kingdom, but it is up to you to reject the Perizzite doctrine.
When will we stop depending on man? It grieves and angers God's heart to see us behaving like Perizzite villagers.
There is so much more left to say about the Perizzite spirits!! God willing, we will post future articles that talk more about how Perizzite spirits turn people into "simplistic judges" and on how the "Philadelphia spirit", which is the spiritual counterpart of the Perizzite spirit, will be manifested in these latter days in God's prophetic remnant to bring about the greatest revival mankind has ever seen.

Reforming Tribalism
Normally a good eye-catching way to start out an article like this would be to rhyme of a bunch of examples of various tribes. The problem with this is that it immediately feeds into our minds tendency to want to "other" the problem away outside ourselves. Myself included. We could never belong to a tribe right?
What is a tribe?
Similar to a word Paul uses in 1st Corinthians 11 with "faction", a tribe is an informal subgroup of Christians (or professing Christians) who share no explicit creed or charter but who nonetheless form, rally around and fiercely defend a shared set of accepted ideals, behaviors, tendencies, priorities and most commonly, lists of shared enemies to reflexively despise or guarded celebrities to reflexively defend. Absolute loyalty to the tribe is required.
Tribes are not the same thing as simply belonging to a group of like minded Christians. That is inevitable and not even something to necessarily be avoided. The problem is when certain groups devolve into tribalism. It's when a group takes on a certain mindset which inevitably ends up being a petri-dish for bitterness, hypocrisy, pride, partiality and disunity in the larger body of Christ.
Tribalism leads people to condemn certain behaviors in others while ignoring those same behaviors in themselves or for members of one's own tribe. We rationalize or flat-out overlook our own behavior and amplify every possible slight from the other tribe, real or imagined. It leads people to extreme paranoia regarding the possible motives of those not in their same tribes while exhibiting an obstinate inability to truly listen to others and grasp the meaning of what is being communicated.
The tribes within Reformed Christianity are toxic and they are ubiquitous. Seek earnestly to not belong to one. If you have one, confront your tribe-mates and seek to reform them. Get ready for backlash. Some tribes are so lost in these toxic behaviors that they don't even recognize their own tribalism and regard all external or internal criticism as by necessity being comprised of "divisiveness", "jealousy" or (of course) "demonic oppression".
Other tribes are comprised of people so spineless that they band together with others of the same constitution and form a sort of "kumbaya" tribe where anything beyond a recitation of the creeds goes too far and no moral applications of God's law are permitted. Ironically, these spineless consortium of weeping willows can sometimes be the most difficult to eradicate. Incredibly, some will condemn "tribalism" one minute and then engage in its most obvious excesses the next.
Satan is cunning. Worldliness is cunning. The desires of the flesh are cunning. Disunity in the church is a constant scourge and it's the reason why the Bible spills so much ink warning about it. At the end of the day what may have started out as a good thing can easily morph into something you never intended in the first place.
It's not always binary in the sense that you can be either in a tribe or out of one. Tribalism can creep in and out, the key is it needs to be continually stamped out in the life of every believer wherever it lies.
We've all probably either belonged to a tribe at one time, or belong to one now. If so, stop. It's easy to get kicked out. Admit it in yourself. Confront someone who is engaging in partiality, special pleading, rank hypocrisy, paranoia, slander or bitterness. See what happens.
Without a practiced, skillful, impartial attention to what God's law requires of us in scripture we will never be able to properly assess whether we've rooted it out.
For the sake of Christ and his body we must do so.
"I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?"
– 1st Corinthians 1:10-13
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
– Ephesians 4:31

One of the best things about living in Denver is the awesome lifestyle that's right outside our front doors. But sometimes it's just too cold to enjoy it. So how do you keep your energetic dog from going crazy and dragging you along with her?
Simulate foraging. At their heart dogs are natural foragers. They're always on the hunt for interesting things to eat- socks, tennies, undies. So give them something productive to do with that sniffer.
1)This Kong busy toy has been a life-saver with Floki's unending want to play. We simply unscrew the top and fill with kibble. Then let him push it around the floor for and nosh on the goodies that fall out. To keep from over-feeding, we subtract whatever he gets in his ball from his dinner.
2) Or you can make it even easier by throwing a handful of carrots or kibble in the air and watch your dog barrel around the room like a furry Roomba.
3) Challenge your dogs nose by hiding cookies all over the house for him to sniff out.
Teach a new trick. Even old dogs love learning new tricks. Mental stimulation will keep both of you on the ball.
1.Teach your dog to pick up his toys. If he already knows "drop it" you can give your dog a toy then guide him over to the toy bin and ask him to drop it in. Reward with LOTS and LOTS of praise & maybe even a cookie. Eventually, you're pup will learn to pick up after himself.
2. Teach your dog the names of their toys. Start with just one toy and name it while you play. After a while and a lot of praise your dog will associate the name with the toy. After a while you can test her memory by having her pick it out of a pile of toys. Eventually, expand to more toys.
3. Play Hide & Seek. This one's easy. Have your dog stay, or distract him with a treat while you run and hide in another room-behind a door or under a blanket works best. Then call his name and try to keep from laughing as your baffled pup seeks you out.
And at the end of the day, don't forget to snuggle up and relax with your dog. Spend some time just scratching her favorite spot. This is a great evening routine that will help you both unwind and get ready for bed.
Bonus game: When all else fails your active pup, play a game of Hall Ball!
What's your favorite way to sidetrack your crazy pup?


Marcus Antonsson celebrates his goal at Sheffield Wednesday last season.
Marcus Antonsson found himself talking about the 2018 World Cup this week, and talking specifically about his chances of taking part. He was realistic about the possibility but the idea itself must be nice. At the start of this season he was as far away from Sweden's national team as he'd ever been.
Leeds United hoped to discover a striker of international calibre when they signed Antonsson from Kalmar in 2016 but it has taken a loan to Blackburn Rovers for his game to show through. Five goals in five appearances last month won him the PFA's League One player-of-the-month award for November and caught the eye of Swedish journalists who are wondering how national coach Janne Andersson plans to piece together his squad for next summer's World Cup in Russia.
His chances of breaking through with Sweden might be better than his chances of immediately re-establishing himself at Leeds. Antonsson is on loan at Ewood Park until May and while his contract with Blackburn is understood to give Leeds the right to recall him during the January transfer window, Thomas Christiansen is unlikely to do so. Antonsson, whose deal at Elland Road ends in 2019, was surplus to requirements when United accepted an approach from Blackburn to sign him in August.
The club are now of the mindset that a settled forward showing definite signs of improvement would benefit from remaining at Ewood Park with a view to returning for another chance with Leeds in pre-season next July. Antonsson's impact at Blackburn speaks for itself: eight goals in total, a handful of assists and a versatile streak which was not always obvious during his appearances for United.
The 26-year-old was categorised at Elland Road as a centre-forward most suited to playing in a front two and lacking the physique to lead the line on his own. A brief challenge to Chris Wood's status as first-choice under Garry Monk was very quickly negated.
At Blackburn, Tony Mowbray has moved him from his favoured position to the left wing. The experiment was enforced by injuries to Harry Chapman and Craig Conway but it worked to good effect. Rovers are on a run of five successive league wins and, for the first time, are threatening League One's automatic promotion places. Antonsson scored five goals in November, defender Charlie Mulgrew claimed four and Bradley Dack has three in two games.
All three players made the long list for the PFA's player of the month award and Antonsson got the nod from a shortlist of six.
"This role out wide is new to me," Antonsson said, "but the more I play there the more comfortable I feel. I feel there's more to come even after five goals and one assist last month.
Goals were what tempted Leeds to invest in Antonsson originally. He was the leading scorer in the Swedish top flight when he moved to England from Kalmar and there were brief flashes of his finishing early on with United; a sharp, last-minute equaliser in a League Cup game at Fleetwood Town and a well-taken header away at Sheffield Wednesday in the first month of last season. Only one more goal followed, though, and while Wood was stretching towards 30 for the season, Antonsson's last game with Monk as head coach came in a debacle of an FA Cup defeat to non-league Sutton United on January 29.
Leeds are not so blessed up front this term as they were with Wood at the top of their team but Christiansen appears satisfied with his options, and satisfied enough to rule out the early return of Antonsson. Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Kemar Roofe have claimed five and six goals respectively and Lasogga is back in full training after five games out. Leeds are hopeful that fears of Caleb Ekuban facing another long absence will be allayed by a series of scans on his injured foot.
Antonsson's form has registered at Elland Road, though, and a strong season in League One might give him another crack of the whip at Elland Road when the final year of his deal begins next summer. The Swede said he was relaxed about his future, telling Kvallsposten: "It might be a boring answer but I have a contract with Leeds and belong to them. I'm professional, I'm on loan and really enjoying it. You cannot run and wonder where you'll end up.

Caster Semenya is a woman, now what?

Tags: Caster Semenya, hermaphrodite, intersex, south africa, sports, track and field, transgender, women in sports, Zoe Brain
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to Caster, but I'll preface this by saying that finding out that there are some people who are unwilling to accept her gender (using that term intentionally) at face value, online commenters from all over the world calling her a "freak" and worse, and losing the one thing that she worked so much for and in which she was very talented, all at age 18, has to be hard on her.
The IAAF, the governing body behind international track and field events, hasn't released the official results of Caster Semenya's gender tests, and are requesting that she get some more done (according to the Telegraph yesterday). But a source leaked the results to the same paper the day before, and apparently she has a body that doesn't fit neatly into the binary.
Media coverage has been mixed. For example, while the Telegraph used the inappropriate word "hermaphrodite" to describe her in their original report, they added the word "inter-sex" alongside "hermaphrodite" in their update. They also didn't say that her described condition is "deadly" again. Baby steps.
The traditional media coverage of Caster's body and genitalia has generally avoided making any distinction between "gender" and "sex," completely ignoring the fact that no matter what her reproductive organs look like, most likely she identifies as a woman. That's not a trifle, that's not a delusion, that's not a sidenote; it's the way she's wired and there's nothing a doctor, the IAAF, prayer, or ignorant people with an opinion about her body can do to change that.
That's where this discussion starts: Caster is a woman if she identifies and lives her life as a woman. The question is whether her body gives her an unfair advantage in women's athletics, not what her gender is.
The IAAF is trying to figure out what to do, and the Telegraph is reporting that they might ban her for her unfair advantage. They want to talk to her but apparently she's generally unavailable for comment:
However, the world governing body's frustration was obvious in comments from its media director Nick Davies, who said: "ASA's actions can have serious consequences for Semenya if we are not able to speak to her soon.
"In short, it will come down to her refusing to co-operate. Had it been a drugs issue, she would have been suspended a long time ago, but this is a unique problem for which the IAAF's rules do not make provision. It is important for us to talk to her about the results of the tests.''
Pam has a round-up of some of the stranger comments people are leaving around the internet about Caster (warning: don't follow the link unless you're prepared for your brain to hurt). Some people are insisting that Caster is a "man," without knowing her, assuming that if she has testicles and no uterus, then she's close enough (apparently, sex and gender are like horseshoes).
And the IAAF is worried about the unfair advantage she has in these competitions. I wouldn't go so far, since everyone involved in that level of track competition has an unfair advantage of some sort. I'll say right now, no matter how hard I train for the 800 meter, I'll never go to the Olympics. Genetics just didn't give me a body to do that with, and it has nothing to do with gender. I'm perfectly fine with that knowledge, but someone who trains extensively in high school and college athletics who wants to go pro but just never gets an 800-meter time low enough to compete might think life is unfair, even if it's controlled for sex.
Those folks who do compete on that level have other "unfair advantages," longer legs, a stronger heart, better balance, lots of different features that people have no control over give them the edge necessary to win at these sports. A man who's 5'4" is going to have a bit more trouble playing pro football than a man who's 6'4". Does that mean that the taller man has an "unfair advantage"? Should he be disqualified so the shorter man can have a chance?
Why is it that the only unfair advantages (that people are born with) we're concerned about have to do with sex, when people don't choose their genome and it's filled with unfair advantages and disadvantages that have nothing to do with the X or Y chromosomes or how the genes on them are expressed? Humans have 44 non-sex chromosomes and 2 sex chromosomes, and the only reason we care so much more about those 2 is because of political and cultural reasons. And any decision the IAAF makes will be about those cultural and political reasons more than any objective form of "fairness."
On the other hand, women's athletics exist for a reason. While Caster set the fastest time in the women's 800 meters this year with 1:55, men at the Olympics last year were running the same distance in the 1:40's. In a race that comes down to the hundredth of a second, that difference is big enough to require that something be done to allow women to compete and win regularly.
Men generally have more testosterone than women, and testosterone is literally a performance-enhancing substance (remember how Floyd Landis got disqualified from the Tour de France in 2006 because he tested positive for testosterone doping?). If we do consider women competing in athletics important, women's sports will have to continue, and there will have to continue to be a definition for "woman."
The issue that the IAAF has to address is whether she has an unfair advantage over other female athletes. While the Telegraph described her as having a "deadly" condition (no time like the present for a little scare-mongering, huh?), she's lived like that for 18 years and hasn't had problems yet. At the very least, it doesn't sound like an emergency.
Here are the IAAF's regulations when it comes to intersex people:
2. In resolving cases that may arise, determination should not be done solely on laboratory based sex determination; [...]
6. Conditions that should be allowed:
(a) Those conditions that accord no advantage over other females:
- Androgen insensitivity syndrome (Complete or almost complete -
previously called testicular feminization);
- Gonadal dysgenesis (gonads should be removed surgically to avoid
malignancy);
- Turner's syndrome.
(b) Those conditions that may accord some advantages but nevertheless
acceptable:
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia;
- Androgen producing tumors;
- Anovulatory androgen excess (polycystic ovary syndrome).
The formidable Zoe Brain has more on Caster's situation:
If the reports are correct, Ms Semanya has PAIS-6. Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome grade 6, where grade 7 is Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS).[...]
Unlike other women, she cannot get the full performance benefits of testosterone, since she's almost immune to the stuff. Having three times the female average could well be less effective when it comes to building muscle mass than a normal amount in an average women. Many female athletes have high natural levels of testosterone anyway - though still a third or less of an average male, and a tenth of a male athlete.
As regards the "dangerous condition" of internal testes, the danger isn't exactly immediate. There's a tenfold normal risk of cancer, and it would be wise to have 6-monthly checks, and gonadectomy if any pre-cancerous lesions are found, but that's it. At worst, 1 in 50, and the estrogen, the female sex hormone also produced by the testes, is useful for preventing oteopyrosis and other conditions, so it's swings and roundabouts. The real reason for gonadectomy is to stop other people from being upset about the idea of a woman with testes in her body.
To be clear, the response to internal testicles isn't always to remove them. I know a woman who, when she was born, was put through surgery to have them put on the outside. She transitioned later in life - the folks who operated on her body to make her fit their idea of what a man should look like guessed incorrectly.
Who knows how Caster actually identifies, considering the incredible financial and political pressure on her now? Or how she will identify, or realize that she identifies, a few years from now? She is 18, and many people who are told they're one gender all their lives don't realize that they're different before age 18. Any rush to surgery seems completely unnecessary, and would take her out of competition for at least two years according to IAAF rules anyway.
It's up the IAAF to decide what happens now, and this is a complicated situation that doesn't have an easy answer that won't hurt someone in the end. I'll wait until the full, official results come out, but if Zoe's right, it sounds like Caster should be able to continue to compete.

Zoe is the one to know for these issues. She's a real brain.
As an IS person, the whole gender and sexuality thing is...well, difficult for me.
If Caster 'thinks' of herself as a woman, she's a woman. If she changes her mind later and thinks of himself as a man, then he's a man. If Caster thinks of Caster as 'Caster' and a unique individual that's cool too. Caster is a very speical and unique person.
As for should she compete with other women on an athletic field? Why don't cha go with the original rules. All players naked. That way we can make sure everyone on the playing field measures up.
Rory | September 12, 2009 5:24 PM
You know, she might identify as a woman because she was told she is a woman, and didn't realize there was any other possibility.
It takes a lot of guts and certitude to believe something that goes against all obvious evidence. If you don't know it's even possible to have a different gender identity than your birth sex, it's even harder.
Even people who have perfectly normal biology for their birth sex can have a different gender identity. So there is no reason to assume what her's is.
It will undoubtedly take some time for her to process this information, and she shouldn't make any major life decisions until well after that process.
Bil Browning | September 13, 2009 10:27 AM
I thought the same thing, Rory.
Bil, I didn't figure it out until I was 40, and I was smack-dab right in the middle of the GLBT community. I'm guessing she didn't have the same exposure that I had.
Rob Barton | September 12, 2009 6:19 PM
I just worry about her. She is a teenager who has been thrown for a serious loop and the rollercoaster isn't stopping any time soon. The fact that this info was leaked and she has no privacy in this is reprahensable. The challenges which sparked the tests and controversy should never have been publicized and this whole thing should have been conducted with taste and quietly.
How would any of us do? Chances are that she has never thought about any of the myriad questions that she is facing right now. I hope like hell that she has some strong personal support.
Jamie | September 12, 2009 8:49 PM
This poor girl has had some of the most impactful news you can ever get, and got it through the media and public eye rather than in private with time to come to terms with it as she should have been.
I accept that being a professional athlete means you have less of a privacy right than others, though I dislike that fact. But this has been outrageous and downright cruel. The comments by the public, especially, have been full of ignorance, hate, and bile that noone shoud have to have directed at them. Let alone for a condition they themselves are only just learning about.
This is a huge impact on her life. If she thinks of herself as a woman, there is a good chance she had planned womanly things for her life, like having children. On top of the impact to her career, this poor girl has just found out she can never have children of her own.
It's no wonder she can't be reached for comment. I think patience needs to be shown here by everyone involved. Let this girl have some time to figure out what this all means, and come to terms with the massive impact on her life.

She was born with in a state of "intersex" with respect how people usually view such things. Turning this into a gender issue is inappropriate. Maybe people should ask other intersex people about it.

Zoe Brain | September 13, 2009 9:52 PM
Remember the "if" in the "if the reports are correct".
She may have a lesser degree of androgen insensitivity - PAIS-5. Or she may have 5alpha-reductase-2 deficiency (5alpha-RD-2) or 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-3 deficiency (17beta-HSD-3) which can have similar effects. The latter two cause bodily masculinisation at puberty - sometimes close to complete masculinisation.
I don't know, based on the conflicting evidence that's been reported. Some of these conditions take extensive testing to sort out from each other, and others, like the degree of PAIS, are somewhat matters for judgment, there's no bright line between them. The principles are the same though.
What I do know is that there is an 18 year old girl, a teenager, who's given her life to sport, and is now being persecuted for a condition she was born with, and didn't even know about.
Her right to privacy has been violated in the extreme. This amounts to rape by media. I don't like using the word "rape" except in the context of actual physical sexual assault, it devalues the word, but in this case, it fits. It may not be physical, but it's a very public sexual assault.
She's not primarily an Intersexed person, or even a girl. She's a young, vulnerable HUMAN BEING. I can gasbag on about philosophical definitions of sex, cellular receptors and neuroanatomy, but she's not a scrap of tissue, not an experimental subject, she's human, a person, young, inexperienced, poverty-stricken, un-privileged in every way.
As a person, she innately has the right to my respect, my compassion, to my empathy as a fellow human being. But it goes beyond that. Her behaviour and dignity in the face of such adversity has earned my extreme respect for her unusual courage.
Please, can we not forget that? Could you have coped with anything like this at age 18?
One more thing in passing: OK, I'm an expert, hobnobbing with the likes of Diamond, Ecker, Drantz and Italiano. But you don't have to know very much to be an expert here. It scares me a little that I know so little, yet am considered such an authority. Now it's not unusual for someone to be given respect they don't deserve, that happens all the time. What really terrifies me is that that appelation actually is deserved, I really am an expert despite knowing so little. And that people's lives depend on such a rickety state of knowledge here.

From Sidney, a specialist in the field, who agrees with my assessment.
Hi Zoe, After reading the Daily Telegraph of London, I read some of the 299 comments and per usual everybody has an opinion about something they know nothing about. All speculative! As a Urologist, who lectures on this very subject to medical doctors, let me tell you what I think I know from reading the AP from Pretoria, SA. Caster Semenya has a probable genetic Disorder of Sexual Development known as Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, probably Grade 5 or 6, where the external genitalia are female-like and the internal genitalia are vestigial testes, which produce Testosterone and Estrogen. I say probable because we cannot know if she has any ovarian tissue mixed with the testis tissue until these vestigial organs are examined under the microscope by a pathologist. This will probably never happen, unless it is presented to her as a condition for receiving female hormones. At this moment everyone is assuming she is an XY woman. Now somebody said she had three times the normal female Testosterone level, which according to this one lab gives her less than their normal male values. Now every lab has its own normal values and we have not seen any numbers. So here are the values from just one lab, not her testing lab.
http://www.bloodindex.org/normal_laboratory_values.php
Determination Normal Reference Value
Testosterone: Conventional units SI units
Female 6–86 ng/dl 0.21–3 nmol/L
Male 270–1070 ng/dl 9.3–37 nmol/L
But it doesn't matter what her serum Total or Free Testosterone is because the definition of PAIS implies that the cells which receive T cannot utilize it because their Androgen Receptors will not bind the T effectively. That's why she has female external genitalia at birth. Interestingly the research in this area is so complete that the Chromosomal mutation on the Androgen Receptor can be identified. Usually these women and I say women, because that is how they have been raised and gender identify as female, are diagnosed in their teens because they cannot menstruate or conceive. Now in truth I know no more about her physical condition than what I read in the newspapers. Is the London Daily Telegraph a tabloid or the cousin to the New York Daily News? Poor Girl !!!!

Please, enough.
Even the strongest materiel has a breaking point.
Lawmaker Butana Komphela, chair of South Africa's sports committee, was quoted as saying: "She is like a raped person. She is afraid of herself and does not want anyone near her. If she commits suicide, it will be on all our heads. The best we can do is protect her and look out for her during this trying time."

BitSensor is at a stage where the repeatable sales model is established for a couple verticals. The main goal is to scale sales and improve on this model, and make others. The iteration over this model is crucial and requires generation of new customer specific material. You will be working to qualify customers, plan meetings and create such material.
Data visualisations enable security analysts to understand the complete picture the moment an attack strikes, as swift as possible. Also, workflows will be embedded into the product to guide a security analyst through his workflow and work processes intuitively and effectively. We, at BitSensor take pride in the fact that - even though we have an enterprise product - we deeply care about the end user.
At BitSensor we care about deep framework integrations. This story is a typical example of such an integration, but any framework could be required. A customer is using a Java framework we don't yet support. It's Play 2, and it's our goal to completely integrate BitSensor in Play 2 using the Play 2 configuration management, validation and security related logging. The end-user is a developer, therefore interfaces need to be stable and configuration needs to be automated. The available time is around two weeks, and in the end of these two weeks Play 2 support is added to the unit tests, integration tests and end-to-end tests using demo applications.

Innovative Cree teacher finds ways to keep language alive
Betty Ann Adam | April 01, 2020
Cree language teacher Belinda Daniels says protocols should be attached to learning the language. Photo submitted
When Belinda Daniels wanted to learn in a Cree language immersion program, there weren't any, so she hired teachers and created a Cree camp where she could be a student.
The Sturgeon Lake First Nation teacher was serious about learning the language: she had taken a couple of university classes during her Education degree program, was taking Cree night classes while working on her Master's degree and practicing speaking with her grandmother, but the learning wasn't coming fast enough, she recalled in a recent interview.
"It came out of frustration," she said.
"One day I thought, 'why not create a Cree camp with Cree teachers in a Cree context?'…. It seemed so simple, but yet it wasn't being done anywhere."
It was 2003 when she spoke to two Cree language teachers.
"I said, 'let's do a Cree camp. You guys speak Cree and teach Cree and we'll all camp and I'll pay you.' Like literally, from my pocket. I received $500 from the Saskatchewan Cree Language Retention Committee. There was basically no money and there wasn't any money for a long time," she said.
Daniels hired the teachers, who went with her and four other students to camp at her home First Nation.
Sixteen years later, Daniels runs two one-week-long camps each summer. She accepts 30 students per camp and has to turn people away. She also has mini-workshop language experiences throughout the year.
"The language camp for me, (is) raising the consciousness of the value of language. Having the people choose to be Cree speakers is another huge success for me," she said.
It takes at least 1,000 hours of immersion to become mid-proficient.
The camps are just one of the reasons Daniels has won a host of teaching awards, including from the Canadian Teachers Federation, the FSIN, a University Award for Research and a Saskatchewan Heritage Award. In 2016 she was nominated for a global teacher award and was invited to Dubai, where she met innovative teachers from around the world.
Daniels' passion for teaching the language has always been with her.
"Language chose me," she said.
"I have had really vivid dreams, dreams that send messages."
She was 10 or 11 when she had a dream in which she saw ancient rock petroglyphs of Cree words written in syllabics.
"When you come from a nehiyaw realm of thinking and being, it unfolds where the language spirit chose me, as opposed to me choosing that language was going to be my thing," she said.
Daniels says she was blessed to be raised by her grandparents and grew up hearing them speak Cree to each other. She heard the intonation and rhythm of the language. She understood when one word ends and another begins, when someone is asking a question or making a statement.
She still doesn't consider herself fluent or even fully proficient but says she can speak, "everyday conversational Cree."
"The language is vast like the ocean and deep… If you're not raised in the language, fluency is very hard to gain. It can be done. It is hard, but not impossible"
Her understanding of how the language works has led her to invent another tool for teaching Cree.
"I really consider myself a language coach. I've really again, created this, where you have the teachers, but then you have someone in the middle and then you have the learners. I'm that person in the middle that knows how to scaffold the language, knows how the language works for learners.
"Fluent speakers will overlook various aspects of the language and learners kind of get stuck in mini plateaus where… you're wondering 'what do I learn next?' or 'what should I be saying next?'
"So I guess I'm a language conduit, a language coach," she said.
The nēhiyawak understand that people are part of nature and equal to, not better than, other living things, she said. That reverence for all of nature is reflected in the language and the way things are taught. There is ceremony attached to everything because there is a deep awareness of the sacredness of everything, she said.
For that reason, Daniels believes that the way Indigenous languages are taught needs to change: respect and protocol need to be attached to learning and teaching languages.
She has also learned that sacrifice is an important value. For her, that means devoting time and energy to her pursuit of the language and traveling, at least once per month, to Sturgeon Lake.
"This is where I learn so much. It wasn't at a university… I learned how to work through the academy to get where I need to be (but) the more educated I've become, the more I want to go home to my roots. There is strength there," she said.
"My home community is where I belong, where I am most needed and where I am most loved."

NEW DELHI: In the second quarter of 2017, 722 thousand tablets were shipped in India witnessing growth of 2.9% as compared to the previous quarter, according to a report by IDC. On the other hand, tablets shipments in the consumer segment declined 13.8 % quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2017 also seeing a drop of 26.8% year-on-year (YoY) in the total shipments.
Lenovo emerged as a leader in the overall tablet market with 21.8% market share as shipment grew 12.6% over previous quarter. IDC said that over 80% of Lenovo's shipments in Q2 2017 were primarily driven by specific commercial projects delivered to government, education and very large enterprises.
Samsung slipped to second position but maintained the shipments volume of the previous quarter. Datawind has declined to third position due to its market share dropping by two percentage points and shipments declining by 9.4 percent from the previous quarter. However it continues to remain a leader in the sub US$50 segment.
iBall grabbed the fourth place witnessing decline in shipments of 9% sequentially in Q2 2017. Apple Apple continues to remain at fifth position with 49.6% QoQ growth but a a year-on-year decline of 17.3% in Q2 2017.
"Uncertainty about the levy of the new tax structure, restricted the stocking of inventory and in turn leading to limited sell-in of tablets in the country," says Celso Gomes , Associate Market Analyst, Client Devices, IDC India.
"Digital projects across Government and Education sectors are the key driving verticals for the growth of the commercial sector.Vendors have arrayed their portfolios and shifting their focus to target these verticals to remain relevant in the category," added Gomes.
IDC India has predicted that the shipment of the consumer segment is expected to be better in the second half of the year. "However vendors will continue to focus on commercial deals to channelize the digitalization wave in the country," said Jaipal Singh , Senior Market Analyst, IDC India.

Letters from the front. Napoleonic war research.
Posted on February 13, 2022 by PB Military Adviser for Film and TV LTD in napoleonic soldiers, Nepolionic wars
Credit to the Facebook page Napoleonic wars research forum and poster Jonas De Neef a great page to join if your interested in more research material.
Here we have three letters from the French officer Faré, captain adjutant-major in the grenadiers of the Imperial Guard. In the first letter, the author confides to his parents his destitution, but also his despair in front of the horrors he encountered and the exactions committed by hordes of Cossacks. He then felt anguish for his family.
In the third document, he speaks of the general appeal: peace and rest. Faré mentions, in his opinion, the task that the new government has to undertake if it wants to be appreciated by the people of France. The outcome is well known…
Reims, 16 March 1814.
My dear parents, I am taking advantage of a moment's rest which we have finally been granted to share my tidings with you. In the midst of our forced marches and unremitting stay in bivouacs, it has been impossible for me to find a single opportunity to write to you. I have never found myself in such a situation.
I no longer have any boots or trousers. Never have we marched so much and had so little rest. We are fighting a fierce campaign and, if we finally succeed in driving the enemy out of our country, I believe that we will have deserved it well. How I express my relief that you have not yet had to receive these ferocious guests! It is said that in the interior, people do not want to believe the atrocity of their conduct. Certainly, I do not wish the unbelievers to be convinced by their own eyes.
I do not 'publish newspapers' and [thus] I report what I have seen. Twenty fold, tears of rage have flowed from my eyes at the sight and account of the horrors they have committed. The most shameless plunder is the least of their crimes. Arson, rape, death: these are the benefits that the liberators of France provide. It seems that sex and age, instead of being for them an object of respect, are an object of fury. Of course, it is in the countryside that the great horrors are committed. In the cities, where there is a sort of order, they show kindness.
They encounter a citizen in the street, they throw him to the ground and take his boots, his buckles, his shoes, his watch. They enter a house, and make hand over the utensils that the inhabitants have not had the time to stash away. It is especially common for them not to leave any curtains in the rooms where they sleep. The officers observe all this, and, far from objecting, proceed to do the same.
If misfortune were to threaten Touraine, hide all the money, linen, furniture, etc., that you can find, and take refuge in the city where it is always safer. But for goodness sake, don't stay at Amandières!
The idea of seeing them ravage our beautiful regions makes me furious. Ah, why don't all the Frenchmen have a better understanding of their interests? In less than a month, all these brigands would have crossed the Rhine again. Yet they have managed, by dint of their horrors, to stir the peasants of these regions, who are beginning to chase them [away] vigorously. When the season is less severe, I hope that everyone will rise up.
At the bivouac near Essonnes, 5 April 1814.
My dear parents, I am in good health, and that is a lot in these sad circumstances. Courage, health, that is what you want.
Egreville, 16 April 1814.
My dear and kind relatives, at last, after a great deal of pain and fatigue, I am enjoying a little peace and rest. When I wrote a few words to you at the bivouac on 5 April, we were still unaware of the events which had taken place in Paris [capitulation of the city on 30 March, and the entry of the Allied army the following day] and we were expecting to march on this city. It was the same day that Marshal Marmont's defection took place, whereupon we were forced to return to Fontainebleau where we were informed of everything by the newspapers. What treachery! What cowardice! What ingratitude! In truth, men are both horrifying and pitiful. Who were the first to abandon the Emperor? Those whom he had showered with wealth and dignity. Who were those who remained faithful to him until the last moment, who almost unanimously asked to accompany him in his exile? We, the junior officers of the Guard, and even more so our soldiers, many of whom have deserted since we gave our support to the new government. What favours had we obtained, what special graces, that our services had not earned us under any government?
And our brave grenadiers, without pay for six months, many without shoes, without trousers, marching ceaselessly in the middle of the harshest season, rushing from one army to another, securing victory by their presence: was it interest that guided them? No: it was honour, shunning [men wearing] cords, plates and embroidery, who then took refuge in our ranks.
We submitted our adhesion on the 11th. We could do no more for the Emperor than he himself wanted. Here we are, then, subjects of a new government which, when once we have given our oath, will be able to rely more on our fidelity than on that crowd of cowards whose only motives are self-interest and fear, and who have so often brought down the idol which they worshipped the day before. Napoleon deserves a part of what happened to him. He committed great faults, everyone mentions them. One of those which I reproach him the most, is to have called to him or suffered people who were not worthy of this honour. He could and should have chosen better.
If the new government is cautious and firm at the same time, it will be easy for it to be adored. Peace. Rest is the general cry. He who grants it, this much desired peace, will be a god for France. Happy inhabitants of the banks of the Loire, you are still unaware of the evils of war, you know this only through hearsay. I congratulate you. My father did well to come and settle in our beautiful and peaceful Touraine!
We are quartered here some four leagues from Nemours, eight from Fontainebleau. Our village, Egreville, is quite nice. We are waiting first for peace to be concluded, then for what the new government wishes to do with us.
Your whole community must feel very triumphant, very pleased with what is happening. Well, I too will be happy if the well-being of France is the result. Faithful to honour, I have done all that my duty required of me, without animosity, without agony. May my country be content, and I will adore those who will make it so.
(Arthur CHUQUET, L'Année 1814. Lettres et Mémoires, Fontemoing et Cie Éditeurs, 1914, pp. 123-126).
The following letter was written by General Christiani and was intended for General Pelet. The document was published in the Carnet de la Sabretache in 1905, as an appendix to an article devoted to the Guard infantry at Waterloo. This letter bore the inscription: 'Letter from General Christiani, commander in 1815 of the 2nd Grenadiers of the Guard, to Mr. Lieutenant-General Baron Pelet'.
Paris, 24 April 1835.
My general,
I can only answer rather imperfectly to the enquiries you made in your letter of 21 January. My memory, which is too ungrateful, and the time that has elapsed since 1815, are factors on which I can hardly rely. However, I will try to answer your questions as best I can. These answers will at least prove to you my willingness to comply with your wishes.
Question – What was the strength of the 2nd Regiment of Grenadiers on Foot of the Guard at the time of the start of the campaign? Answer – I believe it did not exceed 1,000 to 1,100 men. Q. – How many casualties did this corps suffer on the 16th June? A. – None. During the battle of the 16th, the whole corps of Grenadiers on Foot stayed in reserve, and only changed position twice. The second time, it passed through Fleurus, took position on the left of this village, at a distance of perhaps half a league from Ligny, which the enemy still occupied in part. The four regiments of Grenadiers received the order to clear it out. This movement was conducted without any resistance on the part of the enemy, but while we were being formed in squares by battalions by debouching on the other side of the village, we were surprised by a charge of Prussian lancers who passed through the intervals of the squares, without us being able to make use of our musketry, the squares not having had time to position themselves in echelons.
The enemy would have fared better if they had undertaken a second charge, but they did not return. We spent the night of the 16th to the 17th on the battlefield, that is to say on the height which crowns the village of Ligny. Q. – Where did you spend the night of the 17th and 18th? A. – The next day, the 17th, we left our position around eleven o'clock or noon. We marched all day. I followed the movement of the regiments which preceded me.
The weather was dreadful, and it was already late at night, when I saw a bivouac. It was the one belonging to the 4th or 3rd Grenadier Regiment. I found no one there to indicate to me the position which I was to occupy. The night was dark. In this state of affairs, the tired and soaked grenadiers put themselves together with their comrades of the regiment who were already in the bivouac. This bivouac was situated astride the main road, behind the imperial headquarters, near a hamlet or village whose name I do not remember.
Q. – What were the various positions you occupied during the day of the 18th, and particularly from five to six o'clock in the afternoon, from six to seven, and from seven to eight? A. – The next day, 18 June, a ray of sunlight appeared at about nine in the morning. We were ordered to get our weapons ready and engage the enemy. Subsequently, we took up positions behind the Emperor, who stood on a hill on the right of the Brussels road. Here I do not remember the movements of the other regiments of Grenadiers on Foot, but I do remember being ordered to go forward with the 2nd Regiment and take up a position on the right of the Brussels road.
I stood close to a very deep ravine on my right. I remained in this position all day. I observed the return of the remnants of four regiments of the Guard on foot which had been sent forward under the orders of General Friant to capture the position occupied by the English, a position which was defended by a very deep ravine and numerous artillery which were entrenched. You know as well as I do the sad result of this attack. Between five and six o'clock, perhaps later, I received the order to send forward a battalion of the regiment to a village situated to the right and to the rear of the position which I occupied, to drive out the Prussians, it was stated, who had just seized it [it concerns Plancenoit, where the French Young Guard and the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Chasseurs with Pelet were already present]. It was Mr. Golzio, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the regiment, whom I charged with this mission.
I did not see him again until the evening when we retired. I do not remember if he lost many men, but only that he told me that he had done much harm to the enemy.
Finally, towards seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I believe, I departed with the 1st Battalion, which remained to me, to go and join the Emperor who was on the left of the road, at a short distance from the position which I had just left. He was alone, on foot, and General Drouot was with him. I ordered my battalion to form square. The Emperor remained some time to observe, I think, the retrograde movement which the artillery of the army made on the plain on the left of the road, and he then mounted his horse to withdraw. At about this time the enemy commenced a cavalry charge on the main road, and found themselves entangled with our cavalry and infantry who were withdrawing in disorder.
The English skirmishers also appeared, and began the fusillade. Then I began my retreat alongside my battalion [still formed up] in square. A few bullets hit us and caused confusion in the ranks. The voices of the officers were disregarded, and arriving at the height that the 1st Regiment of Grenadiers was occupying, my soldiers disbanded and, then, it was impossible to rally them. I joined the road in front of Génappe; General Roguet also arrived there. There we attempted to rally as many men as possible to wait for the night, but we were abandoned.
Nevertheless, General Roguet and I did not retire until we heard the enemy advancing on the road at the sound of their fifers. Compelled then to withdraw, I lost sight of General Roguet in the commotion, and I followed a path to the left of Génappe with the intention of reaching Charleroi, when I encountered you and General Petit.
Please accept, General, the assurance of the most sincere affection of your
Most devoted servant.
Signed: CHRISTIANI, maréchal de camp.
