Anders Behring Breivik, the Balkans and the new European far-right
The Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik appears very interested in the Balkans. A lot of space in his ponderous 1,518-page 'manifesto' is devoted to discussing Balkan themes. This is not limited merely to praising Radovan Karadzic ('for his efforts to rid Serbia of Islam he will always be remembered as an honourable Crusader and a European war hero'), supporting the past Serb ethnic cleansing of Bosniaks and Albanians, condemning Kosovo's independence and demanding that all Bosniaks and Muslim Albanians be deported from Europe (while the Muslim Turkish populations of Cyprus and western Anatolia are to be deported to central Anatolia). It involves also lengthy ruminations on hundreds of years of Ottoman and Turkish history, in which Breivik demonises all aspects of the Ottoman heritage.
Some commentators have argued that this psychopathic mass-murderer represents such an exceptional case that his actual beliefs are irrelevant to understanding his actions. According to Simon Jenkins in the Guardian, 'The Norwegian tragedy is just that, a tragedy. It does not signify anything and should not be forced to do so. A man so insane he can see nothing wrong in shooting dead 68 young people in cold blood is so exceptional as to be of interest to criminology and brain science, but not to politics.' As a rule, Jenkins is absolutely wrong about everything, and this is no exception. Breivik represents the exemplar of an extremely dangerous trend in Western and European politics, and his interest in the Balkans – or rather, in his own mythologised narrative of Balkan history – flows naturally from this.
Breivik's actions are exceptional, but his views are not. His views on Islam and on immigration are in some important respects typical of the right-wing Islamophobic current, some of whose prominent members and groups he cites or sympathises with in his manifesto: Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer, Melanie Phillips, Srdja Trifkovic, Mark Steyn, the English Defence League (EDL) and others. He sees immigration, particularly Muslim immigration, coupled with liberal multiculturalism and political correctness, as a mortal threat to European or Western society. Such views are often justified by their holders as being 'pro-Western', whereby 'the West' is counterposed to 'Islam', as if the two were binary opposites. In reality, the very opposite is true: modern European civilisation was built upon foundations that were Islamic as well as Christian, Jewish, pagan and others. The Enlightenment gave rise to a Europe in which the sectarian religious animosities that characterised the pre-Enlightenment age could be transcended; modern Western liberal and secular values are founded upon the principle of religious toleration.
Far from being 'pro-Western'; our contemporary right-wing Islamophobes, in seeking to rekindle the religious divide between Christians and Muslims that characterised pre-Enlightenment Europe, reject Western values in favour of pre-Western values. During their successful Vienna War of 1683-1699 against the Ottoman Empire, Austrian Habsburg forces slaughtered, plundered, expelled or forcibly converted to Christianity the Muslim population of the Hungarian and Croatian territories they reconquered, which were forcibly de-Islamised; the Austrians burned the Ottoman Bosnian city of Sarajevo to the ground. The subsequent Ottoman Bosnian victory over Habsburg forces in the Battle of Banja Luka of 1737 saved the Bosnian Muslims from their destruction as a people that an Austrian conquest of Bosnia would have involved. Yet when the Austrian Habsburgs did finally succeed in occupying Sarajevo and Bosnia in 1878, they protected the Muslim population and respected the Islamic religion. Europe, in the interval, had experienced the Enlightenment. It is the pre-Enlightenment Europe to which today's right-wing Islamophobes look back nostalgically; something symbolised in the name of the anti-Islamic hate-blog, 'Gates of Vienna', named after the Ottoman siege of Vienna of 1683 and cited approvingly by Breivik. Hence Breivik's own obsessive demonising of the Ottoman 'other' and its history, all the way back to the Middle Ages.
The right-wing Islamophobes are the mirror-image of the Islamists they claim to oppose. Nineteenth-century opponents of liberal secular values frequently became anti-Semites, seeing the Jews, as they did, as the beneficiaries of these values, to which the Jews owed their emancipation. Today's Muslim opponents of the Enlightenment have inherited Christian anti-Semitism, whereas the Christian reactionaries have transferred their animosity to a different – Muslim – minority. Apologists blame individuals like Breivik and groups like the EDL and British National Party (BNP) on supposedly 'objective' problems of aggressive Islam and immigration that mainstream politicians are supposedly failing to tackle. Just as apologists for Islamism blame it on supposed 'root causes' to be found in US imperialism or the behaviour of Israel. Just as earlier apologists for anti-Semitism blamed anti-Semitism on the Jews. The Islamophobes point to Muslim support for Islamic extremism as their anti-Semitic predecessors once pointed to Jewish support for communism. As their Islamist counterparts point to Jewish support for Zionism. And so on.
Such chauvinistic ideologies are not caused by the minority or foreign groups that they target. Undeniably, popular anti-Semitism before World War II tended to be strongest in countries with large, visible Jewish populations, like Poland and Romania, just as popular Islamophobia today is often strongest in West European cities that have experienced large-scale Muslim immigration, but this does not mean that the victims of the bigotry are to blame. Muslim immigration does not automatically give rise to Islamophobia, any more than Zionism automatically gives rise to Muslim anti-Semitism, or 'US imperialism' gives rise to Islamist terrorism. Right-wing Islamophobia, Islamism, anti-immigrant racism and modern anti-Semitism are all, in their different ways, expressions of a more general reaction against, and rejection of, modernity and what it implies.
Interestingly, Breivik, who apparently never had a proper girlfriend and lived with his mother until he was thirty, shares Islamism's extreme misogyny and gender insecurity. His manifesto rails against the 'feminisation of European culture' and the supposed emasculation of the contemporary European male, complaining that Muslim immigrants are systematically raping white European women, but that 'As a Western man, I would be tempted to say that Western women have to some extent brought this upon themselves. They have been waging an ideological, psychological and economic war against European men for several generations now, believing that this would make you "free"… Western women have been subjected to systematic Marxist indoctrination meant to turn you into a weapon of mass destruction against your own civilisation, a strategy that has been remarkably successful.' But of course, not all Islamophobes are straightforwardly conservative; some oppose Muslims and Islam on the grounds that the latter are sexist and homophobic. Such syntheses of liberalism and illiberalism are nothing new; European fascism and its sympathisers of the 1920s, 30s and 40s had their liberal roots and tendencies too, however paradoxical that might sound (readers are recommended to read Julian Jackson's excellent France: The Dark Years, 1940-1944, that describes the synthesis of liberal, conservative Catholic and radical right-wing currents that found expression in the 1940s Vichy regime in France).
What our contemporary Islamophobes share – conservatives and 'liberals' alike – is conformism, xenophobia, fear of change, hostility to diversity, paranoia about minorities and a longing for the order and certainties of a lost, idealised 'golden age' that, in some cases, may not even be very long ago. In the Nordic countries, home of the Jante Law, where an apparently model liberalism frequently masks extreme conformism and insularity, where foreign guests and immigrants usually find it very difficult to fit in (in a way that they don't in London or New York, for example), and where virulent anti-immigration parties such as the Danish People's Party and Sweden Democrats have enjoyed success at the polls, this takes its own particular form. Far from needing to be shielded from greater diversity, my feeling is that the Nordic world would benefit from more of it; that even if Norway has no pressing economic reason to join the EU, immersion and participation in the common European project would benefit it culturally and spiritually. But for all that, the sickness that created Breivik is a European and global sickness, not just a Nordic sickness.
This brings us back to the Balkans, a region that resembles the Nordic world in the extent of its often stultifying insularity. For all that Serbia appeared to pursue its own sonderweg during the late 1980s and 1990s, at another level, the Serbian nationalist right and anti-democratic left were exemplars and pioneers of what became an all-European anti-immigrant and Islamophobic trend. Serbian nationalist and Communist hardliners railed against the restrictions supposedly placed on Serbia by membership of a multinational community – the Yugoslav federation. They railed against high Muslim and Albanian birth-rates that were resulting in the Serbs being 'out-bred', while lamenting the lower birth-rate among Serbs as symptomatic of national decline. They railed against the supposed mass immigration of ethnic Albanians from Albania into Kosovo; against the supposed Kosovo Albanian cultural 'otherness' and refusal to assimilate; against Kosovo Albanians allegedly raping Serb women while the authorities stood idly by. They lamented the supposed corruption and decline of their national culture while indulging in medievalist escapism. All these themes have now been taken up by nationalists in other European countries. For example, in Breivik's words, 'The Muslims in Bosnian Serbia; the so called Bosniaks and Albanians had waged deliberate demographic warfare (indirect genocide) against Serbs for decades. This type of warfare is one of the most destructive forms of Jihad and is quite similar to what we are experiencing now in Western Europe.'
Andrew Gilligan, writing in the Telegraph, has claimed that the danger posed by far-right (i.e. white, Christian) terrorists like Breivik is simply not on the same order of magnitude as that posed by al-Qaeda: 'Over the last 10 years, nationalist terrorists, even counting Breivik, have killed about 200 Westerners; al-Qaeda has killed about 4,000… The white Right should not be ignored by the security authorities – but it would be dangerous to divert our attention from the real threat.' But this is wrong: tens of thousands of Muslims were killed by white Christians in Bosnia, Kosovo and Chechnya in the 1990s. Breivik has praised the killers, both Radovan Karadzic and Vladimir Putin; the numbers of their victims in Europe dwarf those of al Qaeda.
The danger is that Breivik is the harbinger of a trend. Extremism and chauvinism among the majority will always ultimately be more dangerous than extremism and chauvinism among minorities. Right-wing populists such as Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen may not themselves incite violence, and cannot be equated with a killer like Breivik. But the climate of intolerance they are promoting threatens to give rise to many more Breiviks. The Islamophobic, anti-immigration far-right is the no. 1 internal threat in Western Europe to European society and Western values today.

The Nordic model of national liberation
Tasiilaq, East Greenland
V.I.Lenin once wrote that class-conscious workers should 'conduct systematic propaganda and prepare the ground for the settlement of conflicts that may arise over the secession of nations, not in the "Russian way", but only in the way they were settled in 1905 between Norway and Sweden.' Quite. When surveying the bloodshed and horror resulting from attempts to suppress national 'separatism', from Kosovo and Chechnya to Kashmir and Sri Lanka, it is worth remembering that it really does not have to be this way.
The Nordic peoples have a long and strong tradition of national separatism, and it is one they should feel proud of. For over a hundred years from the end of the fourteenth century, all the Nordic lands from Greenland to Finland were formally united under a single crown, but since then there has been a steady process of Nordic Balkanisation. Sweden broke away from the Danish-dominated Union of Kalmar in 1523, and it is true that it took years of warfare before Denmark recognised the secession, but that was a long time ago. More recently, Norway seceded from Sweden in 1905 and Iceland from Denmark in 1944, in both cases peacefully and without bloodshed. This may be due in part to the strong Nordic tradition of representative bodies, and respect thereof; the Icelandic parliament that declared independence could trace its origins back to the year 930.
Yet there was nothing primordial or pre-ordained about some of the nation-states that today seem immutable parts of the map of Europe. Until the Napoleonic wars, Norway had been in stable union with Denmark for many centuries, while Finland was merely a part of Sweden where a Swedish-speaking elite ruled over a Finnish-majority population. We do not know whether, or how quickly, Norway and Finland would have emerged as independent states had it not been for the 'accident' of the Russian conquest of Finland and the Swedish conquest of Norway early in the nineteenth century. Today, the Nordic countries are not as nationally homogenous as they are commonly perceived to be by outsiders and it is far from certain that the process of Nordic Balkanisation has come to an end, yet it is extremely unlikely that these factors will ever result in bloodshed.
Iceland was before 1944 an autonomous territory under the Danish crown. Other such autonomous Nordic territories exist today: Greenland and the Faroe Islands, both autonomous under Denmark with representatives in the Danish parliament, but strong pro-independence sentiments among parts of the populations; and the Aland Islands, an autonomous Finnish territory where Swedish is the language of the administration and population. A distant cousin that still bears a certain family resemblance is the Isle of Man, a self-governing possession of the British Crown whose parliament, the Tynwald, was established by Man's Norse rulers during the Middle Ages and has been in continuous existence ever since. It is entirely conceivable that the Faroes and Greenland, at least, may become independent at some time in the future, following the Icelandic example. Greenland has already seceded from the European Union, in 1985. Yet it is questionable how much real difference independence would make, either to the lives of the populations or to their functional relationships with their parent countries. Today, Iceland's Reykjavik Airport (not to be confused with Keflavik International Airport) mostly operates domestic flights – its only international flights are to Greenland and the Faroes, which until the 1940s were not 'international' vis-a-vis Iceland.
As much as the Nordic countries have benefited from their traditions of administrative continuity, they all bear hallmarks of the diversity of their backgrounds, a diversity that was not always dealt with gently. Parts of southern Sweden were originally part of Denmark and spoke Danish; Sweden's King Charles XI, faced with their pro-Danish irredentism, was a seventeenth-century pioneer in forced linguistic assimilation. The small, originally semi-nomadic Sami people who inhabit the Arctic north of Norway, Finland and Sweden (the region commonly referred to as Lapland), with a smaller community in neighbouring Russia, were for centuries subject to often brutal forced assimilation that really only came to an end in the 1960s, as the Nordic nations improved their behaviour under the influence of anti-colonial struggles elsewhere in the world. There remains today much Sami resentment at this treatment; a strong Sami patriotism was apparent to me when I visited the Norwegian Sami capital of Karasjok in 2004; at the Sami themepark of Sampi, the tags on the exhibits were written in Sami and English but not in Norwegian – something that the attendant appeared proud to acknowledge. The Norwegian Sami have their own parliament in Karasjok, built to resemble a traditional Sami dwelling. The Swedish and Finnish Sami have their own parliaments as well; the three representative bodies enjoy a consultative relationship.
The Sami parliament at Karasjok
The Norwegians themselves have two versions of the Norwegian language – the traditional Danish-influenced Bokmal deriving from the long era of union with Denmark and the more patriotically inspired Nynorsk, supposedly 'purified' of Danish influences, though it is Bokmal that is the dominant version. Finland, for centuries part of Sweden, is a formally bilingual Finnish- and Swedish-speaking country; the Finnish national hero Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, who led Finland against the Russians in its war of independence and in World War II, was himself a Swedish speaker who did not speak Finnish very well. It was the Russians, however, who established Helsinki as the capital of Finland; today, Helsinki's Uspenski Cathedral lays claim to being the largest Russian Orthodox Church in western Europe. Russian influence is also apparent on the fringes of the Norwegian world; the town of Kirkenes, close to the Russian border, has street signs in both Norwegian and Russian and a prominent statue of a Soviet soldier, in memory of the Soviet liberators of World War II. Still more remote, Norway's Svalbard islands are the site of the Russian mining settlement of Barentsburg; with its Soviet-era architecture and bust of Lenin in the village centre, Barentsburg is more different in appearance from the neighbouring settlement of Longyearbyen, Svalbard's typically-Norwegian administrative centre, than St Petersburg is from Oslo.
It is Greenland, however, where the Nordic world's capacity for cultural synthesis is perhaps most striking; the village of Kulusuk, the gateway into east Greenland, is only a short flight westward from Reykjavik, yet comes as something of a culture shock after the cosy Icelandic capital. Reykjavik city centre boasts a London telephone box and Tube sign and the same shops and latte-serving cafes as other West European capitals. Two hours away in Kulusuk, there are brightly coloured houses and a wooden Lutheran church similar to those found in Iceland, Norway and Svalbard, but the villagers have no rubbish disposal service or running water (the pipes would freeze in the winter). Kulusuk's larger neighbour Tasiilaq, however, with a population of less than two thousand, is large enough to support supermarkets stocked with imported European goods. Under Danish rule, parts of the Inuit Greenland population have gone technologically from the stone age to the twenty-first century in little more than a hundred years. The experience of Danish colonisation and rapid modernisation has not been uniformly happy; in his brilliant novel, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow, the Danish author Peter Hoeg portrays the unhappiness of his mixed-race Danish-Greenlandic heroine Smilla, who spent her formative years in Greenland and was never able to adjust to life in Denmark – her brother committed suicide. Still, the experience of the Greenland Inuit at European hands may be favourably compared with that of other Native Americans; although demographically a small nation (smaller than South Ossetia), Greenland enjoys almost complete autonomy and a bilingual Greenlandic and Danish administration, numerically dominated by native Greenlanders. Should Greenland choose to secede fully, Denmark is unlikely to respond with destruction or genocide.
This positive historical experience, of bilingual nations seceding from, or enjoying extensive autonomy under parent countries, is one that other parts of Europe should emulate. And to some extent they have. Lenin was inspired by the example of Norway's peaceful secession from Sweden, and was a prominent advocate of the right of nations to self-determination (as an aside, Russia has historically been influenced by its Nordic neighbours; the medieval reach of the Nordic peoples stretched from Canada to Constantinople and the Caspian, and it was the Scandinavian Varangians who founded the medieval state of Kievan Rus, the precursor of Russia. Peter the Great built St Petersburg on occupied Swedish territory. More recently, Lenin himself was of an ethnically mixed background that included Swedish roots). Under the Communists, the Soviet nationalities were organised on the basis of different levels of republican statehood or autonomy. There was of course a lot of hypocrisy in the Communist treatment of the Soviet nationalities, and Soviet brutality was at times equal to anything the Western colonial powers produced – witness Stalin's genocide of the Chechens, Ingush, Crimean Tartars and others. Nevertheless, the fact that the break-up of the Soviet Union was ultimately less bloody than that of the French, British or Portuguese colonial empires was due in part to the fact that, under the Soviet constitutional system, the right of members of the Soviet federation to secede was formally guaranteed.
Where the break-up was more bloody, as it was in Chechnya as well as in the former Yugoslavia (also organised on the basis of Leninist nationality principles), this was in large part due to the fact that the system had not been developed to its logical conclusion. Thus, under the Yugoslav constitution, the right of Yugoslavia's constituent republics to secede was not spelled out, although it was strongly implied, while Kosovo was accorded a lower status than the formally sovereign republics, although it was a member of the Yugoslav federation. Chechnya, in the Russian Federation, enjoyed a lower status still, being not even a member of the Soviet Union. These factors were used as justification for the wars waged by the enemies of self-determination. In Yugoslavia's case, a lot of nonsense was spoken by ill-intentioned or ill-informed individuals about the constituent republics of the federation having nothing to do with the constituent nations, and having purely 'administrative borders' that could be legitimately redrawn at will by fascist dictators and terrorists in the event of the federation's break-up – myths I have refuted in my book, The History of Bosnia. But leaving aside the wording of constitutions, it is clear that when nations secede, they must in practice do so on the basis of existing 'administrative' borders – as was the case with Norway, Iceland and the former European colonies in Africa and elsewhere – if there is to be any chance of the experience being peaceful. The secession of individual nations from a multinational whole is not a matter of arbitrarily drawing lines on a map; it occurs in a context shaped by centuries of history that cannot simply be swept away.

PIEDMONT — The dunk is a sure-fire way to get a home crowd hyped in a basketball game – or silence a crowd if you are a visitor.
Wren High School's Trey McGowens understands that. He made many trips to the rack this year. The highlight may have come when he posterized Ridge View's Darien Johnson in the third round of the Class AAAA playoffs.
"That was cool," McGowens said.
Wren coach Fran Campbell said that while McGowens isn't unique in being able to dunk in high school, the 6-foot-2 guard has a distinction.
"I have never had a player throw-down with the force he does," Campbell said.
Campbell recalled a time during practice where he was standing behind the basket and McGowens went airborne.
McGowens' game is more than just dunks, though. This year he led the Hurricanes in scoring with 19 points per game, mixing in fast-break dunks, long 3-pointers and hard drives for layups.
He's been named the Independent Mail All-Area Boys Basketball Player of the Year.
The junior said the biggest thing he developed this year was working on getting his teammates the ball.
The work paid off, as he averaged nearly 7 assists per game to go with 4 rebounds and 4 steals per contest.
Those numbers helped lead Wren to the Class AAAA state championship, where the Hurricanes came up short against Lower Richland, 51-42.
McGowens had a good year as well, earning Region I-AAAA Player of the Year honors as well as all-state honors.
Colleges are taking notice. He claims 10 scholarship offers, including from USC Upstate, Florida Gulf Coast, Wofford, Furman, Appalachian State and Mercer. He is also garnering interest from Yale and College of Charleston.
Campbell said while McGowens is known for his play on the court, it is his work in the classroom he is most proud of.
McGowens said his focus is now working to get better in the offseason. He knows he will be looked to lead next season with him being the lone returning starter.
Team United competes in the Elite Youth Basketball League and has notable alums Seth Curry, now with the Dallas Mavericks, South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell and North Carolina's Kennedy Meeks.
He also said he wants to continue getting stronger so he can continue throwing down monstrous dunks at will.

RWI is 50% owned by Genting HK parent Genting Berhad and 50% by the company's Chairman and CEO, Lim Kok Thay.
In a filing, Genting HK said the annual cap for provision of services – which will be paid on a "man hours worked" basis, will be US$5 million, however a similar agreement in recent years saw the company pay just US$110,000, US$215,000 and US$211,000 in 2017, 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Explaining the reasons for the Master Services Agreement, Genting HK said it acts as "an umbrella arrangement to regulate the ongoing connected transactions between the parties, rather than requiring the Company to continue to consider each such transaction as a connected transaction requiring aggregation and disclosure consideration, as has been the case for the past transactions with RWI Group.
"It is expected that with the aid of the Services, the Group may reduce manpower, broaden the target age range of the customers of the Group and maintain the competitiveness of the cruise lines operated by the Group by introducing digital technologies to cruise operation to meet the advanced digital requirements of the cruise market."

Le pineau d'Aunis, également appelé chenin noir, est un cépage de vigne connu et planté en France.

En France, la culture du pineau d'Aunis s'étend sur environ  (en 1999), principalement dans la Vallée de la Loire. Son encépagement se trouve principalement dans le nord de la vallée de la Loire, notamment sur les aires d'appellations contrôlées Coteaux du Vendômois (Loir-et-Cher) et Coteaux-du-Loir (Loir-et-Cher et sud Sarthe). Il est également autorisé pour d'autres appellations comme Anjou, Touraine, Rosé de Loire, Crémant de Loire et Valençay.

C'est un cépage vigoureux, fertile, et selon le mode de conduite sa durée de vie peut dépasser facilement les 80 ans.

Le Loir-et-Cher est à l'heure actuelle le département présentant la plus grande surface plantée de Pineau d'Aunis. Longtemps considéré comme un cépage peu qualitatif, il revient au goût du jour depuis les années 2000 grâce aux soins de viticulteurs passionnés qui en tirent des vins très aromatiques en limitant les rendements pour concentrer ses saveurs.

Pour ses arômes caractéristiques, on évoque souvent la framboise et le poivre.

C'est un des cépages caractéristiques de l'appellation Coteaux du Vendômois, à partir duquel sont produits les vins gris, typiques de cette région.

Les viticulteurs vendômois ont créé un conservatoire de ce cépage sur la commune de Naveil.

Origine

Origine du cépage
L'origine de ce cépage n'est pas clairement définie. Une légende populaire veut que celui-ci ait été sélectionné par les moines du prieuré d'Aunis, à Dampierre, près de Saumur en Anjou. Des recherches récentes effectuées par Henri Galinié<ref>{{harvsp|Galinié|2014|texte=Henri Galinié, Le Pineau d'Aunis, Recherches sur l'histoire des cépages de Loire, 1, 2014 : publication cité en bibliographie de cette page}}.</ref> tendent à montrer que le prieuré d'Aunis n'aurait en fait jamais existé et que le Pineau d'Aunis n'aurait pas été créé dans cette localité.

Henri Galinié nous apprend en revanche que de très anciennes mentions de l'existence de ce cépage se font dans le sud de la Sarthe, actuelle aire de production des Coteaux du loir et des Jasnières. Il se pourrait également que celui-ci soit originaire de la Charente, où se trouve le pays d'Aunis et Saintonge.

Le Pineau d'Aunis aurait par ailleurs une parenté génétique avec le Pé de Perdrix, un cépage originaire du Béarn.

 Origine du nom
Le nom "Pineau" est apparu depuis 1183 dans le Val de Loire, cependant cette nomination englobait également le Chenin Blanc, le Menu Pineau, le Pinot Noir et le Pinot d'Aunis.

 Origine dans les textes
Des archives font état d'importations de pineau d'Aunis à la cour d'Angleterre, sous Henri III Plantagenêt, en 1246.

La mention de "Plant d'Auny de Trescallan", l'actuel port de la Turballe (actuelle Loire-Atlantique), dans un bail à complant datant de 1755 semble accréditer la thèse que le Pineau d'Aunis porte en son nom son origine charentaise. De cette région, il aurait été implanté dans des ports bretons, les échanges maritimes étant nombreux entre la Bretagne et l'Aunis-Saintonge, puis aurait poursuivi son implantation le long de la Loire. Sa parenté génétique avec le Pé de Perdrix ainsi que leur ancêtre commun, le Gouais, semble conforter cette idée.

En 1816, André Julien mentionne le Pinot d'Aunis à Loches en Touraine.

 Aire de production
En 1958, France compte 1741 ha (4302 acres).

En 1999,  de Pineau d'Aunis étaient exploités, dont :
 309 en Loir-et-Cher, majoritairement au Nord, dans la région de Vendôme ;
 114 en Maine-et-Loire ;
 81 dans la Sarthe (Sud Sarthe, région de Ruillé-sur-Loir) ;
 17 en Indre-et-Loire ;
 7 dans l'Indre.

En 2009, France compte 435 ha (1075 acres).

Ces plants sont essentiellement autour de la ville de Tours et dans le Loir-et-Cher dans le Val de Loire.

 Culture

Le Pineau d'Aunis est un cépage fertile qui aime les sols profonds et ne dédaigne pas ceux à teneur plus ou moins élevée en argile. Les tailles les plus couramment pratiquées sont le gobelet et le guyot simple. Il arrive à maturité les bonnes années à partir de fin septembre.

 Types de vins produits
En fonction des temps de macérations des baies dans leur jus et de l'ensoleillement du millésime, la couleur des vins obtenus à partir du Pineau d'Aunis peut aller d'un rosé léger, « œil de gardon » à un rouge très intense.

Ce sont généralement des vins au bouquet très prononcé évoquant parfois, la fraise, la framboise et quasiment systématiquement les épices, notamment le poivre blanc, ce qui constitue une des principales caractéristiques de ce cépage.

On en obtient également des vins dits « gris » dans la région de Vendôme, par pressurage direct.

Le Pineau d'Aunis est utilisé comme un composant mineur dans les rosés et les vins pétillants de Touraine et dans les vins rosés et sucrés d'Anjou. Dans les coteaux de Loire, il est nécessaire d'avoir au minimum 65 % dans les vins rouges et les rosés. Dans les coteaux du Vendômois, le vin gris doit être en monocépage et les rouges avec au minimum 50 % de Pineau d'Aunis.

 Synonymes
Le Pineau d'Aunis est également connu sous les noms de Chenin noir (Loire et Californie), d'Aunis (Loir-et-Cher), de Brune noir, de Côt à bourgeon blanc, de Côt à queue rouge, de Gros pineau, de Gros véronais (Loire), de Kek chenin, de Mançais noir, de Pineau rouge, de Pinot d'Aunis, de Plant d'Aunis (Maine-et-Loire and Loir-et-Cher), de Plant de Mayet (Sarthe) et de Shenen nor .

Ahead of MadBum, Matty tops the list of great pitching performances in World Series history
Posted: November 2, 2014 | Author: SportsLifer | Filed under: Baseball, MLB, World Series | Tags: best World Series pitching performances, Bob Gibson, Christy Mathewson, Jack Morris, MadBum, Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants, Sandy Koufax, Waite Hoyt | Leave a comment
Madison Bumgarner, aka Bum, rang up one of the great World Series performances of all time when he led the San Francisco Giants past the Kansas City Royals. Great stuff, but MadBum and all the rest take a back seat to the New York Giants right-hander and Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson, who pitched three complete game shutouts to lead his team to a five-game win over the Philadelphia A's in the second World Series ever in 1905.
Matty, pictured above, threw a four-hitter in Game 1 as the Giants won 3-0. He followed that up with another four-hitter in a 9-0 New York win in Game 3. And he closed the deal two days later at the Polo Grounds, allowing just five hits as the Giants won 2-0. All five games in the 1905 Series ended up in shutouts – Chief Bender for the A's in Game 2 and Joe McGinnity for the Giants in Game 4.
Mathewson's 1905 WS line was 27 innings pitched, 13 hits allowed, 18 strikeouts and one walk. He even had a couple of base hits. For his career Mathewson won 373 games, nearly twice as many as he lost, with a lifetime 2.13 ERA. He set modern National League records for wins in a career, wins in a season (37) and consecutive 20-win seasons (12), records that still stand today.
Mathewson was nicknamed Big Six when sportswriter Sam Crane compared him to New York City's Big Six Fire Company, "the fastest to put out the fire." Matty served in France in World War I where he was a captain in the Army's Chemical Warfare Division. While there, Mathewson was exposed to mustard gas during a training exercise. He suffered from tuberculosis the rest of his life, and died in 1925 as the World Series was being played.
It's tough to top Matty's World Series heroics in 1905, but here are 10 who made history in their own rite, in chronological order.
2014: Madison Bumgarner evoked memories of immortal and fellow Giant Matthewson as he almost single-handedly silenced the Royals. MadBum, shown at left, stopped the red-hot Royals and their eight-game playoff win streak in the opener, and then pitched a complete-game shutout in Game 5 for his second win. With the season on the line in Game 7, he threw five innings of two-hit ball to earn the save in a 3-2 Series clinching win. Overall MadBum allowed nine hits and one run in 21 innings, an 0.43 ERA.
1991: Jack Morris was at his absolute best in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series. Refusing to come out of the game, the Minnesota Twins finally rewarded his efforts when Gene Larkin's 10th-inning, walk-off single game the Twins a 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves. In outdueling John Smoltz of the Braves, Morris allowed seven hits over 10 innings and struck out eight. Morris won Game 1 of the Series and had a no-decision in Game 4. He was 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in the Series.
1988: Orel Hershiser of the Los Angeles Dodgers maintained his late-season roll with two stellar performances in the World Series. After setting a new record with 59 consecutive scoreless innings in September, Hershiser shut out the heavily-favored Oakland A's 6-0 in Game 2, then won the Game 5 clincher 5-2 with another complete game. His totals – 2-0 record, 18 innings pitched, 7 hits, 17 strikeouts, and 3-for-3 at the plate.
1968: The St. Louis Cardinals were big favorites, and when Bob Gibson struck out 17 Tiger batters and beat Detroit 31-game winner Denny McLain things didn't look good. Mickey Lolich to the rescue. The portly southpaw beat the Cardinals 8-1 in Game 2 and hit a home run as well. With the Tigers down three games to one, he won Game 5, 5-3. Finally, pitching on just two days rest, Lolich won his third game of the World Series, outlasting Gibson and the Cards 4-1 in the Game 7 clincher.
1967: The 1967 World Series belonged to St. Louis Cardinals righthander Bob Gibson who doused the Impossible Dreamers, the Boston Red Sox. Gibson was 3-0 with 26 strikeouts and a 1.00 ERA in three complete game showings. He won Game 1, 2-1, and pitched a five-hit shutout to take Game 4. After the Red Sox rallied to tie the Series, Gibson homered in a 7-2 win in the Game 7 Cards wrap.
1963: During a five-year stretch in the early and mid 60s, Sandy Koufax was as dominant as any pitcher has ever been. And the Los Angeles Dodger left-hander, pictured right, dominated the Yankees in 1963, setting a WS strikeout record with 15 Ks to win Game 1, and completing the sweep with a 2-1 victory and eight strikeouts in Game 4.
1957: Yankee castoff Lew Burdette returned to haunt the Bronx Bombers in the 1957 World Series. The Milwaukee Braves right-hander won Game 2 and then proceeded to shut out the Yankees in Game 5. With the Series on the line, Burdette threw another shutout in Game 7 at Yankee Stadium, winning 5-0. Overall, Burdette was 3-0 and allowed just two runs in 27 innings for 0.67 ERA.
1933: The last time Washington was in the World Series, the Senators lost to the New York Giants in five games. New York's screwball artist Carl Hubbell won the opener 4-2, striking out 10. In Game 4, Hubbell went all the way allowing eight hits as the Giants won, 2-1 in 11 innings. Although Hubbell gave up three runs in the two games, none of them were earned. His ERA in 20 innings was 0.00.
1926: Grover Cleveland Alexander won 373 games in his career, tying Christy Mathewson for the most all-time in the National League. And he was nearly as good as Matty in the 1926 World Series. Pitching for the Cardinals, Old Pete beat the New York Yankees in Game 2, and when he threw another complete game to win Game 6, 10-2, the 39-year-old future Hall of Famer probably figured he was done for the Series. Not so fast. With the Cardinals in front 3-2, two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh inning of Gam 7, Alexander was called on to face Tony Lazzeri. After a loud foul down the left-field line at Yankee Stadium, Alexander struck out Lazzeri. He threw hitless ball the rest of the way, saving the Cardinals first World Championship.
1921: New York Yankee right-hander Waite Hoyt matched the mighty Matty in the first subway Series, with all games played at the Polo Grounds. He pitched 27 innings against the cross Harlem River Giants, and had a 0.00 ERA. Hoyt pitched a five-hit 3-0 shutout in Game 1 in the Yankees first World Series game ever. He allowed a pair of unearned runs in in Game 5 and won again, 4-2. In the finale, Game 8, Hoyt, pictured at left, gave up an unearned run on an error by shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh in the top of the first and then blanked the Giants the rest of the way. However the Yankees couldn't score and lost both the game, 1-0, and the Series, five games to three.
2001: Randy Johnson, Kurt Schilling, two-headed monster, combined to win all four games, three by the Big Unit, as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in seven games.
1960: Whitey Ford, the winningest pitcher in World Series history with 10, hurled complete game shutouts in Games 2 and 6 and was well on his way to breaking Babe Ruth's record for consecutive scoreless innings.
1956: Don Larsen. The Yankee righty pitched a perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers, nuff said. Larsen got bombed in Game 2, but so what. He's a perfect fit.
1946: Crafty Cardinal lefty Harry Breechen won three games in this Series, including a relief effort in Game 7 to edge the Red Sox. The Cat finished 3-0 with an 0.45 ERA
1912: Smokey Joe Wood, won three games, including the clincher. The Red Sox flame thrower was 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA
It's getting crowded in Monument Park
Posted: June 18, 2014 | Author: SportsLifer | Filed under: Baseball, MLB | Tags: Bernie Williams, Catfish Hunter, Goose Gossage, Hall of Fame, Joe Torre, Monument Park, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, Tony Lazerri, Waite Hoyt, Yankee plaques, Yankees | 4 Comments
This weekend, the Yankees will honor Tino Martinez by dedicating a plaque in his honor in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park. Later this summer, Paul O'Neill will get his plaque.
No disrespect to Constantino, shown at right, and the Warrior, who were key components of the Yankee teams that won four World Series in five years between 1996 and 2000. But there are plenty of other Yankees who are long overdue this honor.
What about Yankee Hall of Famers? Goose Gossage will be getting a plaque this weekend as well. But the Yankees have never recognized old timers like Jack Chesbro and Wee Willie Keeler, pitchers Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock and Catfish Hunter, and hitters like Tony Lazzeri, Earl Coombs, Johnny Mize and Dave Winfield, to name a few. All are enshrined in Cooperstown, yet none have made the Yankees Monument Park Hall of Fame.
Tommy Henrich and Charlie Keller are certainly worthy of consideration. Each man was on more World Series winners than Martinez or O'Neill. So were Joe Collins, Charlie Silvera, Hank Bauer, Gene Woodling, Gil McDougald, Vic Raschi, Eddie Lopat and Frank Crosetti. Yet you won't find any of them on the hallowed walls of Monument Park.
More recent Yankees like Bobby Murcer, Willie Randolph and Graig Nettles never made the big wall in the Bronx. Nor did four-time champions Bernie Williams and David Cone.
MVP Joe Gordon (1942) and Cy Young Award winners Bob Turley (1958) and Sparky Lyle (1977) have never had plaques bestowed upon them either. (As for Roger Clemens and Alez Rodriguez, let's not go there.)
The Yankees will retire Joe Torre's #6 on August 23, with Derek Jeter's #2 to follow inevitably, meaning no Yankee will ever wear a single digit number again.
Martinez and O'Neill were great Yankees who wore the pinstripes with pride and produced champions. But they're two guys on a long, crowded list of great Yankees.

Cabin crew is one of the prime roles in the aviation industry. A cabin crew, which comprises an air hostess (female) and/or flight steward (male), are responsible for the comfort, welfare and safety of the passengers on board. Apart from checking the comfort facilities for the travelers they also have the responsibility to check all the emergency arrangements before taking off and landing of the flight.
According to the regulation, no member of the aircrew will fly more than 72 hours in a month. This ensures work-life balance along with attractive salaries. In India, an air hostess can earn between INR 16,000 and INR 45,000 from domestic airlines. In international flights, the number tends to go higher. After a few years of servicing as cabin crew, they can get promoted to head attendant and enjoy a higher salary package.
The Indian aviation industry is the third-largest in the world as reported by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This sector has witnessed tremendous growth over the last few decades with the rising economic infrastructure of the country. According to the economic report by Goldman Sachs, the country has about six million aircraft and 400 million passenger departures. Choosing a career as an air hostess is beneficial for young candidates owing to the attributes like the nature of the job, the salary it pays and the future it holds for them.

Dear ! Nationalised banks charge loan interest between 9% and 14%
Private banks offer loan interest at the rate of 11% and 17%
Moreover, the rates of interest also depend upon various factors such as your GRE score, your university and your academic profile.

Procedure to join Airlines as a cabin crew member: If you fit the physical criteria of the airline (height above 155 cm for girls and 170 cm for boys), have no visible tattoos or piercings, have normal eyesight, and have no marks or scars on your hands or face, and have passed your 12th-grade exa...Procedure to join Airlines as a cabin crew member: If you fit the physical criteria of the airline (height above 155 cm for girls and 170 cm for boys), have no visible tattoos or piercings, have normal eyesight, and have no marks or scars on your hands or face, and have passed your 12th-grade exams, you are eligible. If you are 18 years old and older, you can get through an airline based in India, but you have to be 21 years old before an airline based abroad hires you. So, step 1 is to clear your 12th standard. If you can talk well and express yourself with ease in a polite manner, you can certainly become a member of the cabin crew. You do not need to know service training, knowledge of the aircraft, safety training, first aid training, dangerous goods or aviation security training, any drills, fire fighting, make-up, hairstyling, housekeeping, ticketing, reservations, alcohol, knowledge of drinks, how to serve food and drinks, etc. Until and unless you have cleared the airline interview. The airline will train you at whatever level is needed after they select you!
If you are weak in communication, all you need is someone to help you with that for a few months, and you are good to go for an interview. Awareness about the industry is very important not what they are looking for to give you a job. What airlines care about is
your attitude toward learning, your enthusiasm about the job, and your cheerful disposition and personality. If you are the kind who whines, complains, sulks, or feels miserable when asked to do something, then this is not the job for you. If you are the polite, pleasant, happy-go-lucky kind with a flair for doing things for others, cabin crew is the right garb to wear!
After clearing interviews, airlines train you and give you a cabin crew course. You can only become cabin crew when you clear all rounds of the airline interview. more

Daisy Miller Novel
Book: Daisy Miller
Aditya M. Shah 3rd Period AP Lit Daisy Miller Quotes "I hardly know whether it was the analogies or the differences that were uppermost in the mind of a young American who, two or three years ago, sat in the garden of the 'Trois Couronnes,' looking about him, rather idly, at some of the graceful objects I have mentioned" (354). James Henry transitions from a lengthy description of the city of Vevey to the introduction of the protagonist of his story. By closing in on a certain character, the narrator focuses the story on the experiences of Winterbourne.
This quote establishes the setting and time of the story, while the narrator's tone remains composed and conversational. Interestingly, the whole story is a gossip about Daisy Miller, and the gossip seems to manifest itself in the narrator's flashback. By the narrator stating that he "hardly [knew]whether it was the analogies or the differences… in the mind of a young American," it portrays the narrator's lack of knowledge about Winterbourne, yet he continues to talk about him.
Thus, the introduction of the novel sets up the atmosphere of incessant gossip between individuals, even though it only describes the location and time of the events. Interestingly, at the end of the novel, the narrator once again takes over the story from Winterbourne, stating another piece of gossip about the intentions of his return to Geneva and the rumors of him that continued to circulate about his "studying. " "I haven't the least what such young ladies expect a man to do. But I really think that you had better not meddle with little American girls that are uncultivated, as you call them.
You have lived too long out of the country. You will be sure to make some great mistake" (370). Winterbourne's aunt Mrs. Costello relays this message to Winterbourne with their discussion of Daisy. Mrs. Costello's warning to stay away from Daisy has no impact on Winterbourne in this instance; however, Mrs. Costello criticism of Daisy serves as a source of foreshadowing, as Winterbourne does, indeed, "make some great mistake" by pursuing Daisy. The mistake is most likely the blind judgments he made about Daisy being an innocent and naive girl.
His misreading caused him emotional stress through jealousy of Mr. Giovanelli and confusion of Daisy's overly flirtatious personality. At the end of the tale, Winterbourne returns to Geneva, ironically subjected to rumors and gossip about him once again. Interestingly, this perhaps suggests that Winterbourne has learned absolutely nothing from his "great mistake" and experiences with Daisy. The narrator's tone near the end seems indifferent of the whole event, implicating that Winterbourne has returned to Geneva easily and as the same man.

Four Key Trends Behind CBS's $34.75 Value
May 30th, 2012 by Trefis Team
CBS (NASDAQ:CBS) has been a crown jewel of the media industry which boasts of big names such as Disney (NYSE:DIS), Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), News Corp (NASDAQ:NWS) and Viacom (NASDAQ:VIA). The company has provided very high returns to its stockholders via capital gains, resulting from its efforts to improve margins and consistently produce high quality content, thus boosting its results each quarter. Here we take a step back and look at key trends that driving CBS and and if these can continue to drive results in the future.
See our complete analysis for CBS
1) Improving Advertising Environment
CBS currently depends heavily on advertisement. We estimate that CBS Network, CBS-owned TV stations, CBS Radio and outdoor advertising businesses together constitute close to 50% to the company's value.
All of these business are almost solely dependent on advertising revenues and thus the margins can fluctuate significantly depending upon the strength of the economy. This year has seen a positive start in terms of automotive sales, thus indicating better demand from advertisers. The ad pricing growth has been solid as evident from recent earnings announcements from several media companies. And as the economy further improves, the ad spending is only going to rise, thus benefiting CBS. Furthermore, CBS will also benefit from significant political ad spending in 2012.
2) Content Licensing And Retransmission Fee Push
To reduce its reliance on advertising revenues, CBS has been pushing for re-transmission fee for its broadcast content and finding different ways to license its video content. The progress has been notable in this area and the company is already earning close to $200 million on annual basis in re-transmission fees.
Furthermore, its deals with streaming companies such has Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) have not only helped with the revenue growth, but also with margin enhancement as these are incremental high margin revenue opportunities. This trend is going to continue and help broadcasters such as CBS to mitigate revenue and margin fluctuations in weak economic environment by providing them a more stable revenue stream.
3) Growth In Digital Devices
The proliferation of digital devices including smartphones, tablets, digital TV and notebooks are making it easier and more enjoyable for an average viewer to watch the video content. This directly translates into high demand for quality content and opens up different ways of monetization. These include digital licensing fee from streaming companies, direct streaming via CBS' site and monetizing it via subscription or ads, and the ability to charge more for the content from pay-TV companies by allowing them to give their subscribers access on multiple platforms.
4) Growth In Satellite & Internet Radio
Although CBS Radio is holding its ground, it faces competition in future due to increasing popularity of satellite radio Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) and internet radio services such as Pandora (NYSE:P).
These two companies have been gaining subscribers at a fast pace and given that they will get increasing share of listeners' time, CBS might find itself in a little difficult position. The monetization of CBS radio is ad-based and listener count directly impacts it. We estimate that CBS radio constitutes more than 10% to CBS' value.
Our price estimate for CBS stands at $34.74, implying a premium of about 10% to the market price.

Q: Object assign to merge 2 array of object and keep self property I try to merge 2 array of objects using Object assign. I know I can do this with map by comparing their ids, but somehow didn't worked in object.assign?
const ageArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "age_range": "0 - 10 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "age_range": "11 - 20 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "age_range": "21 - 30 Years old",
  "value": 78
}]

const colorArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "color": "#333"
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "color": "#666"
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "color": "#999"
}]

const mergedArr = Object.assign({}, ageArr, colorArr)
console.log(mergedArr)

https://jsfiddle.net/u6L2ceux

A: You could use Map and two loops.

const
    ageArr = [{ id: 1, age_range: "0 - 10 Years old", value: 1 }, { id: 2, age_range: "11 - 20 Years old", value: 1 }, { id: 3, age_range: "21 - 30 Years old", value: 78 }],
    colorArr = [{ id: 1, color: "#333" }, { id: 2, color: "#666" }, { id: 3, color: "#999" }],
    map = new Map(ageArr.map(o => [o.id, o])),
    mergedArr = colorArr.map(o => Object.assign({}, o, map.get(o.id) || {}));

console.log(mergedArr);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

For not same array length, you could collect first all objects with the same id in the map and render then result.

var ageArr = [{ id: 1, age_range: "0 - 10 Years old", value: 1 }, { id: 2, age_range: "11 - 20 Years old", value: 1 }],
    colorArr = [{ id: 2, color: "#666" }, { id: 3, color: "#999" }],
    map = new Map,
    result;

[ageArr, colorArr].forEach(a =>
    a.forEach(o => map.set(o.id, Object.assign(map.get(o.id) || {}, o)))
);
result = [...map.values()];

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: You can do this using map method in combination with Object.assign

const ageArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "age_range": "0 - 10 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "age_range": "11 - 20 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "age_range": "21 - 30 Years old",
  "value": 78
}]

const colorArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "color": "#333"
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "color": "#666"
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "color": "#999"
}]

const mergedArr = colorArr.map((item,i)=>Object.assign({},item,ageArr[i]));
console.log(mergedArr)
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

A: Object.assign does not recursively merge objects. It just does shallow copies of object properties. In your case, it copies the values of the properties 0, 1 and 2 from colorArr to the empty object.
Instead use a loop over your arrays and Object.assign to merge the individual items:
const mergedArr = [];
for (let i=0; i<Math.min(ageArr.length, colorArr.length); i++) {
    assert(ageArr[i].id === colorArr[i].id); // if they don't match you need to do a lookup
    mergedArr[i] = Object.assign({}, ageArr[i], colorArr[i]);
}

A: In case you just want to add both arrays into one you could try this:

const ageArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "age_range": "0 - 10 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "age_range": "11 - 20 Years old",
  "value": 1
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "age_range": "21 - 30 Years old",
  "value": 78
}]

const colorArr = [{
  "id": 1,
  "color": "#333"
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "color": "#666"
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "color": "#999"
}]

const mergedArr = ageArr.concat(colorArr)
console.log(mergedArr)

Remember that the concat function does return a new array and doesnt make any changes to any other array. Meaning colorArr and ageArr are unchanged after the concat() call.
Take a look at the documentation:

Home Food & Culture Theatre & Dance I love you, you're perfect, now change
I love you, you're perfect, now change

A new production at Deutsches Theater attempts to improve on its source material.
Adapting films and books for the stage is a bit like marrying someone you see as a fixer-upper: you love them so much, you just want to prove how much better they'd be if they were a little different. Not a great foundation for a marriage, and maybe not for a stage production, either. Films pose more problems than books: Our familiarity with successful movies makes it hard for stage actors to make characters their own. And then the nagging question: why adapt in the first place?
One work attempting to answer that question right now is Medea.Stimmen from director Tilmann Köhler at Deutsches Theater's Kammerspiele. Christa Wolf 's novel, based on the story best known to us through Euripides' play, is itself structured as a series of first-person narratives presenting the perspectives of different characters – a series of monologues, in other words. In that sense, the book was almost begging to be staged, and the text undoubtedly deserves high rank in the tradition of reinterpreted Greek tragedies: Medea, as Wolf reimagines her, was no perpetrator of infanticide but was set up to appear as such by a xenophobic Corinthian political elite that panicked when Medea started prying too deeply into its secrets. The production benefits from Karoly Reisz's beautifully simple set design of a shallow pool of water taking up almost the entire stage and casting shadows of ripples against the back wall; the puppetry used to represent the children is even more affecting. Beyond Maren Eggert's poised Medea, however, the acting is surprisingly uneven: Edgar Eckert's Jason huffs and puffs but doesn't blow anything down, and Helmut Mooshammer as one of Creon's soothsayers needs to find a facial expression beyond raising an eyebrow and bulging his eyes. But at least one can see why the novel belongs on stage – as an important addition to a dialogue with our inherited Medeas.

Flavoured camel milk hits the Middle East
03-Oct-2006 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 12:35 GMT
Related tags: Camel milk, Milk
The launch of a date-flavoured Camel milk drink could strengthen
the development of this product as a viable segment of the global
dairy industry.
EICMP's 'Camelicious' product, which is now available in date flavour, has been rolled out across the UAE to coincide with the Holy Month of Ramadan.
And although there would appear to be no immediate plans to bring the product to Europe, camel milk is being touted as a dairy beverage of the future.
In April, the FAO confidently predicted that the dairy product could one day appear on European supermarket shelves. It said that investment within the sector - not only at local level could help camel milk meet growing demand and open new lucrative markets in the Middle East and the West.
The FAO was instrumental in developing the first camel milk cheese, dubbed 'camelbert', in 1992. Since then, camel milk chocolate has appeared, while an Israeli scientist, professor Reuven Yagil, reportedly developed a camel milk ice cream in 1999.
The organisation estimates there are an estimated 200 million potential customers in the Arab world and millions more in Africa, Europe and the Americas. This is the target audience that companies such as EICMP (Emirates Industry for Camel Milk & Products) are trying to reach.
EICMP has been quick to see the potential in all this. Camel milk is slowly being recognised for its health-giving properties - while slightly saltier than cow's milk, camel milk is highly nutritious.
Designed after all for animals that live in some of the roughest environments, it is three times as rich in Vitamin C as cow's milk. It is also known to be rich in iron, unsaturated fatty acids and B vitamins.
EICMP claims that in addition to these health benefits, its Camelicious date-flavoured camel milk has no added sugar and is naturally probiotic.
It also said that the product is ideal for people with allergies or lactose intolerance.
The company initially established a pilot project in 2000 with just 20 camels, but now claims to run the worlds most sophisticated camel milking plant, meeting stringent European Union health and hygiene regulations.
Before the camel milk industry can tackle these new markets, however, some challenges must be overcome. One problem, according to the FAO, is that the milk has so far not proved to be compatible with the UHT (Ultra High Temperature) treatment needed to make it long lasting.
And despite the technology of firms such as EICMP, camel milk production remains a low-tech business. This explains why a meagre five litres a day is considered a decent yield. But this could nonetheless be a market worth looking out for in the future.
