Max Ebel, a German Immigrant's Story
Max Ebel, a U.S. resident German alien, was interned from September 1942 until June 1944. The reason for his internment was never explained to him. During the time he was interned, he was in five different internment facilities and worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad in North Dakota. This is his story. (Click here for an oral history by Karen Ebel, his daughter, recorded in July 2012.)
The frozen Rhine in 1929 Ebel Family Collection
Max Ebel was born in Speyer, Germany, on June 1, 1919, the second child of Max Ebel, Sr. and Wilhemina Lehr. His father was a master carver and sculptor, an excellent musician and a decorated World War I veteran. His workshop was at his home in Speyer. Growing up, Max also learned the trade and apprenticed to another master carver. Max belonged to the German version of the Boy Scouts and later the Red Cross. The years after World War I were very difficult and, like many Germans, the Ebel family struggled. Max Sr., a bit of a "bohemian artist," became estranged from his wife and answered the call of a friend to do stonework on the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. He left Wilhemina and three young children in September 1929 looking for a better life. Max always remembers that was the year the Rhine froze, a very rare occurrence.
Max never saw his dad again until he came from Boston to visit in 1936 with his new wife. At that time, he was already a naturalized United States citizen.

With the German economy on the rocks, things only got worse for the family left behind. They were virtually destitute and Hitler's thugs started to take hold of the country. Max got rickets from malnutrition. Some of his happiest memories are of his time with the Boy Scouts and the Red Cross.
He wanted nothing to do with the Hitler Youth and steered clear of it. Max was always a pacifist. He cannot explain why, but he thinks it stemmed from his father's wartime experiences. Max Sr. was in hand to hand combat in France, and was forced to kill a man to avoid being killed himself. Every year, for days leading up to the June anniversary of this event, Max Sr. would become sullen and depressed. Late in 1936, all the boys were required to join the Hitler Youth and Max's boys' organizations were merged into the Hitler Youth. Max still refused to join and came under increasingly hostile pressure from young nationalistic teenage boys. In early 1937, this culminated in a knife fight with another boy, a member of the Hitler Youth, as others cheered for their Hitler Youth comrade. Max was stabbed badly in the hand, grabbed the knife to save himself and slashed the other boy's face. He escaped, but life in Speyer became very dangerous for him. He needed to get out. He was 17.

A decision was made. He was to join his father in America. Max Sr. had established a woodworking shop in Cambridge and could use his help. He went through a hasty procedure to obtain his passport, riding his bike back and forth to Stuttgart, no small feat. Wilhemina signed the document permitting him to leave. His boss wrote a letter of recommendation. Max left Germany from Hamburg in May 1937 on the SS New York bound for New York City. He had a German nickel in his pocket, a suitcase filled with his woodworking tools and a new wool suit, shoes, a shirt and his coat. He never saw his mother again.
On May 28, after an enjoyable weeklong voyage, he arrived in New York Harbor where his father met him. They walked on a hot day from the harbor to the train station and Max was struck by how dirty New York City was. On June 1, he celebrated his 18th birthday with his father in Boston. Max recalls: "I was an American right from the beginning, and I always will be. I think I appreciated my freedom as much as a fish let out of a bowl to swim in a river." That freedom was short-lived, however. The very influence Max had fled Germany to escape had followed him, in the form of a cloud of suspicion. "I left Germany because of the Nazis, and I came over here and I was treated like a Nazi," he said.
Max was happy working with Max Sr. in Cambridge. He befriended a fellow employee, an African American named Johnny, who taught him English. He taught Johnny German. He joined the Boy Scouts and went to school to study to become a United States citizen. Later he became a Junior Air Raid Warden. He lived among many other German immigrants in a large, socially active German American community in the Boston area. Max Sr. was a very popular man who frequently served as the master of ceremonies at many area dances at German American clubs. Local Germans also went to picnics and had a great time with their friends. As was common with immigrant communities, German diplomats mingled frequently with the community, as well as seamen from ships docking in Boston Harbor. Max Sr. was also a member of a German World War I veterans' group of about 10 men who met at each other's homes to play cards and enjoy each other's company. They took turns being the president of the nonpolitical organization which had limited ties to the World War I veterans' group in Germany, the Kyffhauser Bund. The group raised funds and existed pursuant to a permit issued by the Secretary of State. The money primarily went to widows and orphans of World War I veterans. Whatever it might have been in Germany and how the money may have been divided up, for Max Sr. it was a social organization, like so many veterans' associations.
Max remembers how much fun in it was to tour a German freighter, the Pauline Friedrich, impounded in Boston Harbor in 1939, after Germany invaded Poland. The first mate who arranged the tour was an old school friend of Max Sr.'s from Speyer, who he hadn't see for years. Several of the German seamen later had dinner at Max Sr.'s home. During this time, Max was also getting letters from Germany demanding that he return to serve in Hitler's Army. Max burned the first two letters. When the third arrived, Max Sr. took him to the consulate where they persuaded the consulate to strike his name from the rolls. Max refused to return to Germany to fight for something he did not believe in. The Ebels didn't know it, but they were being watched by the FBI, along with many others in Boston's large German American community. Years later, researching her father's internment story, his daughter, Karen, learned that the FBI knew of the visit to the boat, Max Sr. hosting the dinner at his home for the seamen and their visit to the consulate. He recalls that the FBI had a picture him leaving the consulate with his father. Max was later relieved of his volunteer duties as an air raid warden. He never knew why, but he was hurt and disappointed. He enjoyed the work and the chance to help his newly adopted country.
The Ebels' Cambridge Woodcraft Company continued making fine furniture. Amazingly, under the circumstances, they secured a contract with the United States Navy designing and building lifeboats that wouldn't overturn or sink. Max filed his Declaration of Intention to Become a U. S. Citizen on December 5, 1941.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and life changed drastically for Max. President Franklin D. Roosevelt immediately issued the necessary Presidential Proclamations pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act declaring all Japanese, German and Italian aliens to be "enemy aliens" and placing them under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice (Read more in History). Along with over 1,000,000 resident aliens, Max had to register at the local post offices, be fingerprinted and carry a picture ID. No enemy aliens were allowed to have radios, cameras, firearms and their travel was severely restricted. Max's citizenship plans stopped and he registered with the Selective Service. When asked if he would fight for the US in Germany, he no. He did not want to fight against his cousins, brother and friends in the land of his birth. He was classified as 4C.
Sometime in August 1942, the Ebel home was searched twice by the armed FBI detectives. A Presidential warrant had been issued after Pearl Harbor authorizing searches of homes in which an enemy alien, such as Max, resided. One time, Max told the officers about a secret compartment in the nightstand he'd designed. They stood with guns drawn as he unlatched the hook and opened the compartment. They left the Ebel home with Max Sr.'s radio and camera, even though he was an American citizen, as well as various German language books and a calendar. Nothing was ever returned.
On September 21, 1942, Max Sr. was served notice by the Army that he was to appear at a hearing on September 25 to show cause why he should not be excluded from the Eastern Military Are due to "military necessity." (See Related Laws) Max Sr. was questioned at length without an attorney and returned home. On September 28, Max, then 23, was picked up from work for questioning. Max never returned home. He was sent to the Boston immigration station where he remained with other detainees, German and Japanese, for 3 months. He was permitted limited visitation rights and very little exercise. The few reading materials available had everything about the war cut out. He was never told why he was there. (More information about the East Boston Temporary Dention Facility) Sometime in the next few weeks, Max was sent for his internment hearing. He had no counsel and had no right to question the proceeding. He was permitted two character witnesses and his father attended the brief hearing. Max recalls it lasting about 15 minutes. He hardly spoke. The civilian hearing board was comprised of 3 local appointees. The district attorney chastised Max and laid out "evidence" against him, as did investigating FBI agents. The primary objection Max recalls is that he didn't want to fight in Germany. The attorney told him that if his son could fight, Max could damn well fight, too. He also told Max that it was his pleasure to fight Germans in World War I. Max returned to his cot at the immigration station.
Some internees signed Max's songbook, including a Habsburg. Ebel Family Collection
He remembers several things from his time being detained in Boston, one he discusses with great difficulty. One day he heard water running in the toilet room. A fellow German detainee, a doctor, yelled for Max. An elderly Japanese man was hanging over the toilet, slashed on either side of neck and a jagged razor on the floor. They saved his life. He returned later with a cloth around his neck. The man worked 6 days a week for a local family and on his day off he went to have his shoes shined at a place that happened to be across from a GE plant. He was detained because the FBI assumed he was a spy. Another Japanese man gave Max a rosary with a crucifix which opened to disclose a small compartment which could hold a relic or some other holy object. The man told Max he could take the rosary—all Christianity did for him was get him in trouble. The FBI assumed he was using it to smuggle microfilm. He was also detained with a German member of the Hapsburg family. A local women's club gave the men Christmas songbooks because they spent Christmas in the immigration station.
Max remembers waiting for his hearing with a very anxious German man and his wife whose face was covered with red sores. The woman was sent to the local Home of the Good Shepherd run by Catholic nuns. The man, Mr. Groh, later joined Max and signed his songbook.
Finally, on January 20, 1943, Max was advised he was being moved immediately to Ellis Island, along with several others. The Alien Enemy Control Unit of the Department of Justice, headed Edward Ennis (later head of the ACLU) did not accept the parole recommendation of his hearing board and Attorney General Francis Biddle ordered him interned. (Max Ebel's Internment Order) With no notice to anyone, he was put on a train and sent to Ellis Island. He remembers Ellis Island as the dirtiest, most crowded place he was during his internment. Hundreds of German men were packed into a huge room. The only source of privacy was blankets hung from the top bunk. For this reason, Max was glad to have a bottom bunk. The food was terrible and the medical care nonexistent. Infrequent exercise was behind barbed wire fences outside overlooking the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty seemed to mock the immigrants she invited to her shores. Max became ill and was refused medical care "because he was being shipped out the next day." And so he and many other German internees continued their journey—to Ft. Meade, Maryland.
The trip from Ellis Island to the mainland was difficult. The men were transferred to military custody. The soldiers were very hostile and pointed their guns menacingly at the men. The captain screamed that he didn't get if they went to Ft. Meade upright or feet first. Once they got to the New Jersey shore, they had to line up and many civilians stared at them. Max thinks everyone had been told that they were German prisoners of war. When they got into the train, the shades were drawn and the windows were nailed shut. Soldiers were on every car with their rifles.
Max was at Ft. Meade for about two weeks. He didn't mind the stay. He got medicine for his severe sore throat and ate well thanks to the German cooks interned there from New York City. Even the soldiers enjoyed their cooking. He got a physical and vaccinations there before moving on to Camp Forrest in Tullahoma, TN, on February 24, 1943. The internees were taken there in a shuttered train under guard, although the shades were lifted in some of the more rural areas. Max remembers stopping somewhere along the trip through the Appalachians and seeing some of the locals in the forest.
Camp Forrest was run by the Army. Rumor had it that a German internee was shot dead before they got there by a nervous camp guard. At Camp Forrest, there were quite a few more men and they lived in 5- or 6- man huts. There were black widows everywhere when the men arrived. Max recalls muddy ditches to contain the water. Max always wanted something to do and signed on to help the military doctors treat internees. He had a good relationship with the doctors and when the internees were being shipped out to make room for German POWs, they wanted him to come with them, but were not able to work it out. Max was disappointed. In late May 1943, the men were shipped to a variety of camps, most of them to Ft. Lincoln in Bismarck, ND. Again they were taken by rail under guard with the shutters down in populated areas. Ironically, Max's first cousin who had been drafted into Hitler's armed forces arrived at Camp Forrest shortly after Max's departure as a German POW.
Ft. Lincoln, now the United Tribes Technical College, was a United States Army fort which had turned over to the INS for male internees. It is located a few miles south of Bismarck in a very flat, barren area. At that time, Ft. Lincoln was reportedly approximately 10 acres surrounded by 10-foot high wire fence, buried 3 feet in the ground. It was topped with 3 strands of barbed wire with guard towers for armed guards at regular intervals. Some sections of the fence were hooked up to microphones that broadcast at the slightest touch. There were also floodlights. The perimeter was patrolled by guards with dogs. Winter in North Dakota was brutal. Max arrived there on May 28, 1943, exactly 6 years after arriving in the United States. He has a small diary from his internment in which very little is written besides the dates of his transfer. Upon his arrival in Bismarck, he wrote "This is hell." (List of Fort Lincoln Internees, including Max Ebel)

The men lived either lived in brick buildings with large rooms holding many beds or in smaller temporary barracks. They were expected to help with the functioning of the camp and Max served in the kitchen peeling potatoes many times. He hated being behind barbed wire and still had no idea why he was being incarcerated. He wanted out. In September 1943, he got his chance. The Northern Pacific Railroad was looking for help because most of the able-bodied men in the Dakotas had enlisted with the military. The U.S. government worked with the German government and eventually the men were cleared to work with the railroad. The camp officials requested volunteers and 500 men signed up. This was eventually whittled down to about 100 and Max was one of them. The men were to replace existing rails with 250 lb. rails which would accommodate wartime munitions traffic across the country. This was perceived by some in the camp as helping the U.S. war effort and they bitterly opposed the men who had agreed to help their "jailors." It made life for the volunteers uncomfortable for a time.
On September 3, 1943, Max and over 100 other volunteers left Ft. Lincoln and arrived in Buffalo, ND, to begin work on the railroad. The men lived in the boxcars, 6-8 men/car, that were heated by a coal stove. Water was held in a tank car at the rear of the train. There were no bathroom facilities besides the great outdoors. They lived in these cars throughout the winter and Max only returned once or twice to Ft. Lincoln. It was a very rough existence, but Max preferred it to living behind barbed wire. Max worked with other men on the spike puller. The train was stationed in various towns and the men were allowed to go into the towns, under some observation, and visit the restaurants where they got to know the townspeople. Max greatly appreciated this little bit of normalcy.
The work train had to work on a spur in the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. During this time, the men met many of the Lakota who sold them handmade items off of their buckboards. Max remembers their abject poverty with great sadness and amazement.
Once he looked in one of the huts the families lived in and was surprised to see dirt floors. The Indians had pulled up the floors for fire wood to keep warm. The men attended church on the reservation near Cannonball. At one service, the minister begged the men for money to help replace the church roof. The internees didn't have much, but they donated some money which they had earned working on the railroad. Later, they were invited to attended Christmas Eve service and have dinner at the church. During the festivities, which Max enjoyed greatly, the internees learned of a 10-year old Indian girl who was dying of TB. The US government hadn't provided sufficient healthcare, so the men again contributed to help save her. Thus, a kinship arose between these two outcast comm gunities—Native Americans and German internees. Max would remember those times fondly all his life. It was something good that came out of his internment. Railroader Christmas cards.
One internee, Karl Klein, took responsibility for his fellow railroaders and continually implored the Department of Justice to review their cases in the hope of winning release.
Finally, the DOJ agreed to rehear their cases. The release recommendation of the rehearing board states that the board questioned why Max had ever been interned. (Max Ebel's Rehearing Report ) When this document was obtained from the National Archives in 1999, it was first summary Max had ever scene of the original rationale for his internment. He had never seen the recommendation before. At about the same time as the rehearing, in April 1944, Max was sent by himself to Ft. Snelling, MN, for a preinduction physical by the US Army. Max found this ironic. He was considered so dangerous he was interned, but was trustworthy enough to fight for United States in the war. Max flunked his physical and never joined the Army.
In June 1944, he was paroled and returned to Boston where he had to report to his parole officer once a week. He was not allowed to go near railroad or subway lines which always rankled him considering that he had helped build them while interned. Finally, his parole was terminated in November 1945 and the family nightmare of the past four years ended. After internment, he returned to work for his father, met Doris Eckert and married in October 1948.
He became a United States citizen in 1953, 12 years after filing his intention to become a citizen on December 5, 1941. His citizenship application was intensely scrutinized because of his internment. He recalls the folders brought by the government to a related review as being "a mile high." He told them that they seemed to know more about him than he did. In a way, that was true. Max never knew why he was interned and never saw any documents related to his internment.
During his later years, living and working in New Hampshire, he never spoke of his internment. His three daughters knew only that he helped build railroads in North Dakota during the war. They also knew that he met Indians there who he admired. The girls always enjoyed looking at his "Indian treasures" from those years. But to his daughter, Karen, the eldest, the railroad saga always seemed a little odd.
In the 1980s, Karen was in law school and Max was refurbishing his father's house in Boston following his parents' deaths. At the time, the Japanese American story was starting to be told. Max sent Karen an article about her grandfather. It stated that Max Ebel, Sr. had been served with an exclusion order pursuant to Executive Order 9066 in April 1943 giving him 10 days to leave the East Coast. Shortly thereafter, Max Sr. filed a request for an injunction to prevent the Army from enforcing the exclusion order, but without contesting the facts alleged. (To do so, Max Sr. relied on the kindness of a Harvard Law graduate with whom he was acquainted through his woodworking business and who was outraged at the civil liberties implications of the order. They filed the injunction request purely on constitutional grounds.) The court issued a temporary restraining order and the case came before Justice Francis Ford in August 1943 in federal district court in Boston. He issued his opinion in September 1943 refusing to enforce the Army's order finding that military necessity did not exist and ordering the Army to withdraw its order.
When doing additional research, Karen discovered that the Army only obeyed the court order in June 1944 after first seeking to limit the geographic area covered by its exclusion order, an offer the court rejected, and initiating denaturalization proceeding against Max Sr., an effort which was abandoned. Coincidentally or not, June 1944 was when Max Jr. was paroled and allowed to return to Boston. Karen also learned from transcript given to her by Arthur D. Jacobs, that Edward Ennis of the Department of Justice worked closely with John Hall, an attorney for the Army coordinated the government's defense in Max Sr.'s case and several others pending at the time. Among other things, Ennis hoped to convince the courts to accept the word of government with respect to the evidence presented without actually having to disclose the evidence or the names of the informants. He hoped that by establishing this trust and by "tricking" the court (his word), further disclosure would be unnecessary. Ennis asserted that, "All these district judges, John, are just dying to do their patriotic duty for the country. They just fall right into your lap. It's disgusting." He also stated that Max was interned because of his father's activities and Max Sr. was suspect because his son was interned. (The Ennis Transcript) In the end, thanks to Judge Ford's decision to uphold Max Sr.'s constitutional rights, his case and several others finally led the Army to terminate its individual exclusion policy. Unfortunately, because the facts alleged by the government regarding Max Sr. were not contested and are recited in the court's opinion, the incorrect and unsubstantiated allegations have been taken as fact by others through years.
The article about Max Sr. started a conversation about Max's internment in a limited way, but it wasn't until 15 years later when Karen really started questioning Max that he revealed the full story. After several more years, the Ebel family decided in late 1999 to contact the media so Max could tell his story publicly. In this way Max hoped that he could help prevent similar travesties in the future. In January 2000, his story appeared on the front page of the Concord Monitor. The time leading up to its publication was filled with emotion as the story of Max's internment was told with ever-increasing specificity to his children. (Concord Monitor January 2000 story on Max Ebel)
Max speaking of his internment in 2003
Since the first public telling of his story, Max has continued to speak of his internment whenever he is asked to do so. In October 2003, he revisited Ft. Lincoln for the opening of the North Dakota University Museum of Art's commemorative exhibit entitled "Snow Country Prison." At a related ceremony, many former German and Japanese internees shared their stories. Max tearfully returned the crucifix he had gotten 60 years earlier from the Japanese man in Boston to a representative of the Japanese American community. (Martha Nakagawa – Snow Country Prison).
Max also miraculously reconnected with the family of the little Indian girl the internees helped to save whose name he learned was Alma Thunder Hawk). He went back Cannonball to the Standing Rock Reservation and was treated with great kindness by the Thunder Hawk family. Butch and Bud Thunder Hawk, Alma's brother's sons, and their mother, took Max, Doris and Karen out on the reservation to try to find the foundation of the church where Max first learned of Alma and her plight. Mrs. Thunder Hawk remembered the church well. After much trekking, they miraculously found it buried in brush. Max and Butch stood together on the three steps that led to the church's front door that Max remembered so well.
Max at Alma Thunder Hawk's Grave in 2003
Max visited her grave site with Butch and learned that Alma died shortly after the internees' Christmas Eve gathering at the church. This visit was very traumatic and healing for Max.
Max's courage in publicizing his story and his ongoing desire to help prevent internment from recurring became a quest late in his life. His daughter, Karen, joined him in his quest and together they hoped that their work would result in greater protection of civil liberties by the US government and greater appreciation of the value of American freedom by the public. Their greatest hope was that one day federal legislation would pass acknowledging the internment of ethnic Germans and requiring the US government to review the Alien Enemies Act which caused so much anguish for so many during World War II. Karen's dream was that this legislation would pass in her father's lifetime and that he would have a chance to present his story himself before a federal commission established to review the internment of Germans. Sadly, this dream died when her father passed away on May 3, 2007. One of the very last things he said to her before he died was that he hoped she would continue the quest for federal recognition even though he could only be with her in spirit. She committed to do so, but as the years go by and Congress continually refuses to pass even this small measure, she wonders if the dream she shared with her father will ever be fulfilled.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's lawyers have confirmed they will launch a criminal complaint following claims in Switzerland that he was "involved in money laundering."
The Russian businessman's attorney Daniel Glasl has strongly denied the claims, stating that he wants the Swiss police to publicly correct the facts, while also indicating plans of a criminal complaint for whoever disseminated the information.
"We are extremely disappointed by the release and publication of confidential information from Swiss government files regarding Mr Abramovich, which occurred in clear violation of Swiss criminal law and Swiss data protection laws," a statement read.
"We have filed a request for correction of facts to the Swiss Federal Police and will be filing a criminal complaint against unknown persons responsible for dissemination of this confidential information. We also reserve our options for addressing this breach in court.
"Any suggestion that Mr Abramovich has been involved in money laundering or has contacts with criminal organisations is entirely false. Mr Abramovich has never been charged with participating in money laundering and does not have a criminal record. He has never had, or been alleged to have, connections with criminal organisations."
Following the Salisbury poisoning in March, relations between the United Kingdom and Russia have been strained, with many Russians finding it difficult to obtain visas. Abramovich withdrew his application before obtaining Israeli citizenship in May.
Around the same time, plans for the redevelopment of Chelsea's new stadium were put on hold, but the club denied that this had any connection to their owner's visa application nor claims that he wanted to sell his stake in the Premier League side.

DUI accidents often result in injured victims who are saddled with anxiety about how to pay their medical bills and regular bills while taking time off work to recover. If you have been injured due to a drunk driver, you should not have to worry about money while you heal. Instead, hire a lawyer who deals often with cases related to DUI accidents so that you have the best chance of being compensated.
After an accident caused by a drunk driver, you will likely have to deal with various injuries. These may be somewhat minor, such as whiplash and a sore back, or more devastating, such as internal injuries. Either way, you will need medical treatment, and you should not be held responsible for the bills. Of course, paying for damage to your car should also not be your responsibility, as the accident was not your fault. Fortunately, a good lawyer can ensure that you do not have to pay out of pocket for your medical or car bills.
While you heal, you will likely take time off work. While most people get some vacation and sick days so that they can still get paid, you should not be forced to use these after a DUI accident. Additionally, not everyone has the luxury of paid time off, in which case you should be compensated for the money you are missing out on. In some cases, you might not ever be able to work again, or at least not in your industry. While this issue is a setback, you can expect to be compensated.
When it comes to most DUI accidents, it is expected that the driver's insurance company pay for any damages that you have received. This includes your medical bills, the cost to fix your car, and compensation for any time you have taken off work. It is the job of the insurance company to make you whole again after an accident, which is why you should contact both your insurance provider and the driver's right after an accident. Unfortunately, most companies do not want to pay for the damages if they can help it, so they might try to fight it. While your insurance company should provide support, most are too busy or have limited powers, leaving you feeling like you are on your own. Getting a good lawyer experienced in cases involving DUI accidents can ensure that you do not have to pay a dime out of pocket. Anything you have paid for already should be reimbursed by either the driver or the insurance company. Therefore, get a lawyer before you start worrying about how to pay for the damages that were not caused by you.

Leaked:Saudi King financed Netanyahu's 2015 election bid
wilayattimes (Zionist Israel)
Tel Aviv:A member of Israel's Knesset (parliament) has revealed that Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud helped finance the election campaign of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2015.
Citing a massive leak of confidential documents dubbed the "Panama Papers," Isaac Herzog, who is the chairman of the Israeli Labor party said, "In March 2015, King Salman has deposited eighty million dollars to support Netanyahu's campaign via a Syrian-Spanish person named Mohamed Eyad Kayali."
Panama Papers, which detail the offshore wealth of politicians and public figures across the globe, exposed more than 11.5 million financial and legal records earlier in April.
"The money was deposited to a company's account in British Virgin Islands owned by Teddy Sagi, an Israeli billionaire and businessman, who has allocated the money to fund the campaign [of] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," the Israeli lawmaker said.
In the recent past, Netanyahu has on several occasions talked of a budding relationship between Israel and Arab countries.
In March, Netanyahu said Israe's relations with regional Arab countries are "dramatically warming" in what analysts said was an acknowledgement of behind-the-scenes ties.
Moshe Ya'alon, Israel's minister of military affairs, in February pointed to open channels between the regime and Arab states.
Ya'alon said he was unable to shake hands with Arab officials in public due to the "sensitive" political realities.
The Israeli minister later publicly shook the hand of Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, who himself has openly met with a number of Israeli officials in the past.
Israel has covert ties with Arab states despite their claims that they would normalize relations with Tel Aviv only when it reaches a deal with the Palestinians. This is while the two sides "can meet in closed rooms," according to Ya'alon.
Last month, the Jerusalem Post wrote that "rather than being isolated, Israel is being incorporated into the Saudi-led orbit."
"Part of this includes the opening of a mission in Abu Dhabi and increasing contacts in the [Persian] Gulf States," it said.
A former general in the Saudi military has also said recently that the kingdom would open an embassy in Tel Aviv if Israel accepted an Arab initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Riyadh also maintains secret military ties with the Tel Aviv regime.
In April, Sheikh Naim Qassem, the deputy secretary general of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement, said Israel was training Saudi military forces under the framework of clandestine relations.
Dozens of Saudi military officers were being trained following secret contacts that led to military cooperation, he said.
"The Saudis are currently fulfilling the cycle of the Israeli project in public and secret meetings," he added.

'Assassin's Creed' Wine Is Now Available Because "Everything Is Permitted"
What would make Assassin's Creed even better? Official wine, duh! Especially with the latest entry taking us back to Ancient Greece, the latest collection of fine wine is the perfect way to pay Dionysus tribute while traversing the world of philosophy and cultural intrigue.
According to a recent press release, "Winemaker Lot18 has teamed up with Ubisoft to produce a limited-edition collection of wine based on the mega popular and world-renowned Assassin's Creed franchise. These bottles make great gifts for fans of the worldwide hit game and film, as well as anyone who enjoys a quality bottle of wine. Each bottle will include a specially designed label, making it the perfect beverage anytime."
According to the wine connoisseurs, "Just as Aveline is the ultimate social chameleon, this French white blend is infinitely versatile, deftly tackling various food pairings and displaying different characteristics each time. The wine can be buoyant or rich, depending on the match — let it liberate your senses and challenge all that you know."
If you're looking for a complex white, this one is it!
Oh, Arno. The Assassin front and center of Assassin's Creed Unity. "Often misunderstood, Arno struggles with finding his way in the world, despite his pure intentions. Similarly, Zweigelt remains an obscure grape for many, but one sip will show you why it's so popular in Austria. Vibrant flavors of plum, morello cherry and violet abound, revealing a romantic core that ultimately shines through."
For those seeking a richer flavor, "Displaying impressive finesse and flavors of red currant and savory herbs, this red is the embodiment of Altaïr. The Cabernet Franc grape tends to mature quickly, just as Altaïr became the youngest to obtain the rank of Master Assassin. Take a leap of faith with this dynamic wine and be reformed in your tastes forever."
"Only a variety as ancient as Tempranillo, thought to have given rise to Spanish wine as we know it today, could represent the character of Bayek, whose tenets for the Hidden Ones organization are the basis for the Assassin's Creed. Here's a ripe, full-bodied and remarkable example that's as special as an Apple of Eden."
Another selection for a lover of a fine red, "Sometimes the most intriguing creations are born from forging the old and the new. Such is the case with this New World take on Cabernet Sauvignon and namesake for the complicated character of Ratonhnhake:ton, aka Connor. Extremely complex, yet pleasing and balanced, this is a wine that has something for everyone."
And finally Ezio, the poster child that many look to for the Assassin's Creed franchise as a whole, despite the game's roots: "Sourced from Ezio's birthplace of Tuscany, this red is charming and charismatic, like the Renaissance hero himself, displaying flavors of cherry and red plum on the palate. It's an enchanting Super Tuscan that will make you believe in the enlightened perfection that the Assassins know humans are capable of achieving."

Purpose driven leadership - identifying impactful leaders during Covid-19 - Webinar recording
Director of Quality at ILM, was joined with academics and business leaders, to reflect on what we can learn from the leadership styles that have emerged during the pandemic.
Covid-19 has uncovered a self-confident society, not promoting 'strong leaders' but seeking leadership from everywhere. Across the globe, organisations and individuals took on the role of leaders, often acting spontaneously and unbidden. School children with 3D printers, small independent businesses and international clothing brands such as Burberry and Barbour, all undertook acts of leadership, collaborating rather than competing, and bringing people on board to support where needed. Each one of these thoughtful, proactive acts of leadership had a clear purpose at the centre, demonstrating that under trying circumstances, people can show amazing resilience and the ability to respond to the unexpected.
Join Nick Cutland, Director of Quality at ILM, as he sits down with guest speaker Anthony Impey, Nicky Taylor & Professor Carol Javis to explore how 'unleadership' could change and enhance the way we work and to reflect on what we can learn from the leadership styles that emerged during the pandemic.

I'm the ginger in the row under the purple banner.
Yesterday, I went to the 3rd annual Cleveland Inkubator, a free, day-long writing conference put on by a local nonprofit Literary Cleveland. This organization began about two years ago, and in a sense, I've been there from the start—though I've only taken one of Lit Cleveland's paid workshops, I've attended all three Inkubators and participated in workshops on fiction and non-fiction with a number of local writers whose work I enjoy. My face is even front and center on their marketing materials (see above). Yet sometimes I still ask myself: am I truly a writer? Or is that just what my business card says? If I'm feeling particularly flat on any given day, I follow that up with: and why did I list "writer" on my business card in the first place?
This year at the Inkubator, there were a number of suitable workshops for "agnostic" writers; that's how I like to refer to people who can't decide if they're writers. Another workshop could stoke my interest in the paranormal and occult. I started the day with a workshop on "Facing the Blank Page" a.k.a. the true story of my every effort to write fiction. I followed that up with "The First Page of Your Novel"—this workshop focused on how good the first pages of famous novels are and how to make your first page good enough to convince a publisher to keep reading. The last workshop I did—"Tarot for Writers"—suggested using tarot cards as a tool when you're stuck. Not as a crutch, but as a way of brainstorming from one choice about a character to the next. All of the instructors gave practical exercises that could be applied in any situation, and they also gave advice for continuing along a writing path.
Around the time that I was in middle school, a local independent bookstore near my town sponsored a yearly short story contest. My middle school English teacher had us write short stories for the contest every year—she would choose the best two or three stories from the class and then submit them to the store's contest. I've written before on this blog about how, as a small child, I wrote stories all the time, but this contest was different. We came to expect it. We let ideas marinate over time knowing when the contest would again become the subject of our lessons. The most beautiful part? We were allowed to write about whatever we wanted, and this teacher, like many other writers I've met since, encouraged us to write what we knew.
What I knew as a fifth-grader was that I really loved my cat, Mayflower, and I wanted him (yes… him) to be some kind of superhero. So I wrote a ghastly short story about an alien cat with superpowers, to which my heroic teacher responded with unmerited grace and kindness. It did not make the final cut for the store's contest.
What I knew as a sixth-grader was my then very active passion for medieval history, the remnants of which now mostly serve to inform my consumption of Game of Thrones. This knowledge, combined with an especial interest in the Black Death, meant that my protagonist was a young girl, about my age at the time, who began the story by walking the streets of her village as a cart rolled by with a man yelling, "Bring out your dead!" This, too, did not make the cut, but was more successful as a story.
And what did I know as a seventh-grader? My tremendous interest in grisly moments in history remained, and this time I wrote my story about the Salem Witch Trials. Again, my protagonist was a girl, around my age, forced into nearly impossible circumstances. And this time, my teacher chose my story to move on to the store's contest.
The bookstore has since closed, and I am not aware of any similar opportunity for kids that age in the area. But while it lasted, it meant that there was at least one time a year when a routine could be followed, a story cranked out and put up for review. It meant that, when my high school English teacher made a similar demand for a short story, it was a matter of flexing a muscle that's already in shape. When she asked specifically for historical fiction, I wrote a story about a little boy who accidentally becomes embroiled in the Black Sox scandal—in that case, baseball was what I knew.
My point here is this: writing is a habit, and one that you need to practice and hone. Anyone will tell you that, but it's one thing that I knew for certain when I was writing my dissertation. I didn't always fool around with daily word goals, at least not until finishing was almost at hand. I did, however, make sure that for as many days as possible I was in the library trying to write between 3pm and 8pm—these were the hours I did best at writing. The words usually flowed the best when I had been reading all morning and could actively rework the thoughts and concepts I had just read.
Today, in my morning workshop, I had a long-needed moment of epiphany—a moment so clear that I can't even remember what triggered it now. But I understood that I do, truly, know all the habits and techniques that it takes to write, whether that's a novel or a non-fiction book. Or blogging on a regular basis. Or finally admitting that maybe it's time for me to go back to that dissertation, which I loved. I just need to get that muscle back in shape.

Home Essays Critical Race Theory Bans Are White Supremacy's Trojan Horse
Critical Race Theory Bans Are White Supremacy's Trojan Horse
By: Prateek | In: Essays | Last updated: July 16, 2021 0
While the mainstream media has focused on whether or not white supremacists were emboldened by the election of Donald Trump, their attention is less on the underlying trend of racism. This is especially obvious in the case of the Supreme Court ruling that allows Texas to implement a "critical race theory" test for the University of Texas.
Last year, the Texas legislature passed a bill banning the use of "critical race theory" in grades K-12. While the ban is intended to prevent students from being subjected to racist indoctrination, it has the opposite effect: it allows teachers to explore the links between racism and other forms of oppression, as well as how racism is used as a tool of control by the ruling class.
Is Greek mythology still taught in schools? Interesting, it was one of my favorite subjects in sixth grade. Looking back, and as an abolitionist, I realize that this was just another subject taking up space that could have been used to teach real history. But it was also useful when I was thinking about the political strategy of oppressing black people. This is where the randomness comes from.
The other day I was fighting insomnia and I began to think that this battle with critical race theory is like the horse in the Trojan War. At this point, some of you may be wondering: Damn it, Tanesha, why do you think about critical race theory when you need to rest? This is the life of a black activist and probably most black people – we lie awake at night worrying about the shit we have to fight the next day and the day after, while our oppressors sleep peacefully in their privilege. That's all.
Let's go back to the Trojan horse story… If you are not familiar with the history of the Trojan War, the Greeks and Trojans fought for about 10 years. The Greeks then had a plan to make the Trojans think they were out of the war, and they built this giant wooden horse and left it at the gates of the Trojan city as a so-called peace offering. When the Trojans finally dragged the horse's ass into town, gangs of Greeks swarmed in – similar to Trump's Duck Dynasty gang that invaded DC during the mutiny in January – and started kicking the Trojans' ass.
At three in the morning these random thoughts come to me and it occurs to me that these are the same deceptions and war games that are going on right now.
You see, we blacks are Greeks. Since the pressure of the George Floyd riots, the election of a black woman as vice president, and the declaration of the nineteenth day as a national holiday, some of us are cautiously optimistic that there is finally a cease-fire in our 402-year war with the US.
We will not settle for the crumbs thrown at us from the table of liberty and equality to silence us or ignore our thirst for justice. And we will not rest until all black lives in this country truly count. https://t.co/leL4QL5EoX

But here comes the boom, and Trojans with white supremacy written on their backs like a misplaced tattoo, filled with gatekeepers (Trojans) trying to attack critical racial doctrine, voting rights, and any other truths and freedoms they can take away and officially send this country back to the Jim Crow era, infiltrate statehouses all over the country.
Black people, that's what we have to fight for. And not necessarily for the critical theory of race as such, because in general it's just a dirty word the oppressors use to gather more Duck Dynasty soldiers. We must fight for the teaching and learning of real history.
While Greek mythology is exactly what it says – mythical – we have real examples of activism and influence in black American history that teach and empower us. This is what they are trying to suppress.
They want to use education to further this idea and duty of patriotism by giving white children false idols in the form of Civil War tyrants and other historical leaders who tried to enslave and oppress black people. And they want generations of black children to live in slavery in one generation. This manifested itself in the attempt to rewrite Civil War history in a throwaway movement called Lost Cause, led by racists.
It really blew me away. In 1954, a textbook titled Georgia History was published and allowed to be taught in the state's high schools to make children believe that plantations were primarily a place of celebration for slaves. One of the passages says: …the master often organized a barbecue or picnic for his slaves. Then they had a good time. Even when they worked in the cotton fields, they sang …..

Scripture on the wall and in history.
And at the very least, as our big brother el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz aptly noted in a 1965 CBS interview, white supremacists use the arguments of anti-crime racial theory to project their shame onto those they have victimized and to reject notions of racism against blacks in America.
I saw this interview with Brother Malcolm and it perfectly describes an element of the struggle against critical race doctrine.
Hold on, white America. pic.twitter.com/F2Kd5VA2J1
We have heard hatred of the CRT professed by politicians, by newly formed organisations who insist on maintaining the status quo, and sadly by some of our own organisations who remain on the sidelines.
Yes, I have often said that I wish all black parents and guardians would take their children out of public school and turn them upside down, but I know that won't happen. So this is what we have to do.
It is imperative that we organize and resist these prohibitions of history, realizing that our options are limited when we are fighting a thousand other things. So instead of setting up whole organizations like some of those white people do, we're going to work around the system and do everything we can to make sure our kids learn what they need to know.
Along with educators and administrators, you should all be creatively introducing revolutionary and relevant curricula, teaching abolitionist lessons, and promoting radical conversations in the classroom. Yes, it is our job to fight the car, but it is also our responsibility to pass the baton to our young people when we can no longer do the job. Parents, appreciate the energy of the people who try to dictate to your children what they can and cannot learn in school. Because even if you didn't get a good education, you need and deserve one to make a difference for black people in America.
Compensation for damages.
In the end, we have to ask ourselves: Do we want our children to continue to be taught Greek mythology, where they have to dig to decipher war strategies, and not see heroic images? Or do we want them to study our history, where they will be informed and inspired by real emancipatory strategies? I think we know the answer.
And even though we've already let the junk politicians in, that doesn't mean we can't stop them and the Duck Dynasty gang with their Trojan horses in the form of klansmen in our communities.

Whitby is so full of history, tradition and culture that it is impossible to give it the justice it deserves. The old town was built along the banks of the Esk estuary, the east side being of arguably greater historic value, not least because of the imposing and spectacular Abbey headland, reached by the famous 199 steps (best taken two at a time). The Abbey was founded in 657 AD and, shortly after, was the setting for the Synod of Whitby, a meeting between the Celtic Church and those of the Roman rule which culminated in the setting of the date of Easter.
Captain James Cook was born close by and learned his seamanship in Whitby. Both the Resolution and the Endeavour, in which he charted the coasts of eastern Australia and New Zealand, were built in Whitby. In the late 18th century, William Scoresby and his son of the same name were instrumental in furthering our knowledge of the Arctic and inventing still-used nautical instruments.
In its time, Whitby has seen the growth and subsequent decline of such industries as shipbuilding, whaling, sail-making, rope-making, fishing, jet working and, further afield, potash and alum mining. Many of the remnants of its industrial past are still evident today.
Today, Whitby is a beautiful seaside town with a working harbour and a thriving tourist industry. The old fishermen's cottages perch on the banks of the Esk and hide a number of quaint yards which are well worth exploring. Cobbled Church Street on the east side is often compared to The Shambles in York and has an excellent variety of gift shops, galleries and restaurants. In addition, the town hosts an enormous variety of festivals including the popular Gothic weekends, the week-long Folk Festival, 50s weekend and many more.

After making a huge propaganda killing against the United States, a terrorist leader is incensed when a retaliatory strike hits too close to home and makes his war even more personal. Scorched Earth is the third book of the Op-Center reboot and the first exclusively by George Galdorisi as retired Admiral Chase Williams coordinates his Op-Center team in fighting the war on terror that has suddenly become personal on both sides.
General Bob Underwood—a special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL—is kidnapped after his security detail is massacred then hours later is beheaded on live television. American forces retaliate with a strike on Mosul resulting in the death of the ISIS leader's son, his father promises vengeance. A homegrown terrorist cell kidnaps the admiral who oversaw the strike on ISIS but are accidentally foiled in their attempted to send him to Mosul to be killed and retreat to a hideaway in rural Maryland. Based off information that it's Geek Team Op-Center's SEAL team is sent to Iraq to investigate all the aircraft delivering to the city, but come up empty resulting in the Geek Team backtracking and the terrorist cell and finding their location in Maryland. Op-Center's CIRG team locates the house and rescues the admiral while taking out half of the terror cell. Meanwhile the admiral's son, a SEAL himself, believing the Navy fumbled the ball goes AWOL to Iraq with help from an old teammate and infiltrates the ISIS headquarters in Mosul but is captured. The SEAL team, with information from the Geek Team, with a contingent of Rangers rescues the prodigal son while shaming the ISIS leader.
Like the previous book this was quickly moving story was an engaging read from start to finish, especially the first two-thirds of the book when the kidnapping of the admiral was the main plot. However, once his son decided to go rogue the end of the book was relatively telegraphed paint-by-the numbers ending. Yet despite the "going rogue" cliché and the ISIS leader's desire to "go live for the evening news", the action was particularly good which made up a tad for the headshaking narrative turn. Overall Galdorisi's solo effort was good and while I wish he would have avoided the stupid "going rogue" trope as it probably would have improved the book some, it did not ruin it.
Scorched Earth is a good military-political thriller and is George Galdorisi only solo effort in the reboot series, so far. While I did not like subplot that finished off the book, it did not make the book bad and throughout the action scenes were solid. Overall, this book is better than a vast majority of the original Op-Center run.

Recently, I have been telling everybody I know about the Maumee River. Among the first things I usually mention are that it sits at the center of the largest watershed in the Great Lakes region, that it drains more than 6,600 square miles of land in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, and that it has a lot to do with the rafts of cyanobacteria that have been producing "dead zones" in the western basin of Lake Erie. If they are still listening, I add from there. Depending on who you ask, these questions and answers have been going on for a couple years now.
My interest in the Maumee River is largely genealogical. I was born in Fort Wayne, the city of three rivers, established at the place where the St. Joseph and St. Marys come together to form the Maumee. In the fall of 2013, my wife and I moved into the upstairs of a house on Columbia Avenue, along the Maumee near the junction of the three rivers. The proximity got to me. I started reading a lot about the river—local histories, news coverage, EPA reports—and didn't stop. I had started to wonder: What does the river know?
Still chasing that question in the late summer of 2016, I traveled from one end of the Maumee River to the other. The trip took eight days. I walked most of the way. At night I camped in backyards or on riverbanks, or slept in the spare bedroom of relatives. In Defiance, Ohio, I stayed at a bed and breakfast. For two days I paddled with a friend of mine in his canoe. I kept a notebook of the journey, collecting observations and ideas that, together with a pile of research, became a book called In the Watershed: A Journey Down the Maumee River.
When I talk with people about that trip, they often ask some variation of "So, what did you learn?" It's not an easy question to answer. I learned the sound of ripples surfing river bottom at the Maumee River Overlook, and how cyanobacteria blooms across the surface of a body of water. I learned the terms and conditions of a watershed, and the consequences of eliminating a million-acre swamp. I learned a thousand other things, too, most of which I probably do not yet recognize.
The Maumee has become, for me, a way of understanding the history, culture, and ecology of this region. It has influenced and been influenced by, among other things, glacial formation, Native communities, European invasion and settlement, transformation of wetlands, agricultural development, industrialization and recreation. Studying the Maumee, I have come to better know my place—and my place within it.
The novelist Iain Sinclair has called rivers "ribbons of memory" in an age of cultural amnesia. In them we see a history of our tenure in this land, and a reflection of our present. The Maumee is a long-standing member of the region, bearing in its course the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years. Maybe the river can teach us how to live in this world. It remembers, even as we forget.
Ryan Schnurr is a writer and sometimes poet from northeast Indiana. His first book of nonfiction, In The Watershed: A Journey Down the Maumee River, is now available from Belt Publishing.
*Portions of this essay are adapted from "Seeing the Maumee River," first published by the author in Old Northwest Review.
You're invited for a Walk and Talk with Ryan, 2 pm, Sunday, February 18, on the trails of Blue Cast Springs along the Maumee River.

Search Midtown for your perfect home
Midtown Toronto is often considered the core residential area of Toronto. Just north of downtown, Midtown starts at Bloor Street, and continues north until Lawrence Ave. With the East End, and East York to it's east, York and the West End to it's West, and North York stretching out to it's north, Mid Town is steeped in history and Toronto Culture.
With Lawrence Park, Forest Hill and Rosedale in it's more north and north eastern segments, Midtown is also home to the famous Annex and Yorkville neighbourhoods, often considered the epicentres of the rock and folk music world of Toronto in the 1960s and 70s.
Davisville, Midtown and Deer Park as well as the famous "Yonge & Eg" at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton are hotspots for condo development and increased population density, especially in the last several decades. Affluent, and very green, Midtown is a thriving cultural centre to the city of Toronto and an ideal location for families, professionals, and students alike looking for a nice home or condo right in the thick of it all.
Getting around in Midtown by car is easy – streets both major and residential are laid out in a grid format, with beautiful overhanging trees throughout the various midtown neighbourhoods.
It's not hard to get out to the rest of the city and beyond, either. The Allen Road in midtown's north-west corner is an easy access to Toronto's highway network, connecting residents to Highway 401, 404, 400, and many more. There's also the Don Valley Parkway just to Midtown's east, which winds through Toronto's picturesque ravine system and proves t one one of Toronto's main arterial highways. Once travellers hit one of these major routes, access to "cottage country", eastern towns like Kingston and Peterborough, or the Niagara Region are all short drives away.
Travel within the city of Toronto couldn't be more simple. The Two largest Subway Lines, Line 1 Yonge-University, and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth intersect within Midtown, making transportation through the six boroughs of Toronto and beyond a simple, seamless affair. Spadina Station and Yonge/Bloor Station in particular are transportation hubs, as well as community hotspots for both locals and tourism.
Streetcars also run through many of midtown's neighbourhoods, providing necessary links into the downtown core that the subway alone can't reach, and bike lanes crisscross throughout as well, along major streets and threading through the city's famous valleys in the form of picturesque bike and pedestrian paths.
Toronto is an international centre for business and finance, known the world over for it's stock exchange and international financial institutions. All the largest banks, as well as Bell Media, Rogers, Manulife, and Hudson's Bay all hold headquarters and towering office buildings within or very close to Midtown.
Neighbourhoods like the Annex and Yorkville, once a bohemian paradise, have matured into diverse, multi-faceted communities that house and employ a great number of the areas students and artists, as well as restaurateurs, small business owners, non-profits and other organizations. It's proximity to the University of Toronto has made midtown a perennially energetic, youthful place, and the industries that follow those young demographics have continued their presence, from coffee shops, to retail to local bars and hangouts.
This section of Bloor, especially around Yorkville is particularly well known for being one of the most trendy retail spots in the entire GTA, with many prestige boutiques, and clothing department stores having beautiful street-level flagship stores in the area.
Further north, tourism spots like Casa Loma, Wychwood Barnes attract hundreds of tourists a day and provide many jobs to the local residents. Employment is also found in the great number of boutique and high-end hotels as well as a few of Toronto's most prestigious private schools.
Like many regions in Toronto, Midtown offers a wide choice of education options for new families, with Toronto District School Board making the largest and most well- known, as well as three other school boards that provide english and french education in both Catholic and secular curriculums.
Midtown is also home to some of Toronto's most noteworthy private schools.
Institutions like Upper Canada College, The Bishop Strachan School, and De La Salle College Oaklands, to name just a few.
Midtown is very close to the University of Toronto, one of Canada's highest ranked universities, and is just a short commute to many others including York University, Ryerson University, and OCAD.
Parks in Midtown vary in size, but all are beautiful, well curated escapes from the concrete city. Christie Pits in the region's south-westernmost corner is a community bedrock, featuring pools, water features, and baseball diamonds, Christie Pits is the perfect place to spend a hot summer day, and also plays host to a number of cultural events from farmer's markets to outdoor film festivals.
Other parks like Wychwood Barns and Moore Park ravine bring more of that uniquely "Toronto" feel, each featuring beautiful landscapes, sights and walking paths.
The median household income in Toronto, is around $65K, this sits somewhat lower than many other areas in Toronto, but can largely be explained by a much higher frequency of single person households within the city. Median incomes are around the national average, somewhere between $44K-$70K, and in the West End, these numbers are expected to rise within the next decade.
Midtown has seen some of the most radical change in all over toronto over the past 50 years. Neighbourhoods have transformed rapidly as progress and urban density have demanded so much from the area. As populations continue to densify, Condos will continue to be the natural choice. We see development strategies from places like Yonge & Eglinton beginning to spread outward, with more high-rise buildings sprouting up in the Annex, and Davisville, among others.
Unused or closed down factories and other lands are being repurposed into thriving community hubs and mixed-used buildings. It's said that within the next twenty years, Toronto will have more high-rise condominium buildings than any other city in the world, and as single professionals continue to prefer downtown and midtown life when compared to more suburban options, it's expected that demand for condos will
continue to rise even after that boom has levelled-off.
Average selling price of pre-construction condos in Toronto is at a healthy high $400K range, meaning that despite all the existing developments, the hunger for new properties is alive and well and now is still an excellent time to invest in the projects throughout Midtown.

We try and keep our grocery shopping to a minimum and only shop once a month. This gives us the opportunity to buy many of our foods at a lower price (since we will generally buy in bulk), plus it helps stop any impulse shopping at the very expensive local grocery store.
But one question that we get quite frequently is, "How do you make your fresh produce last if you only shop once a month?". I'll be honest…that is a tough one! But I have some tips for you on how we make it work if you are looking to shop once a month as well. Of course, make sure to share your tips in the comments section!
1. Have a garden all year round.
Of course it's easy to pull fresh produce from your garden in the summer to supplement your meals but you can do this in the winter as well! Plant a few "bush style" veggies (like beans, lettuce, etc) in flower pots or other containers in your house. Keep them warm and make sure they get plenty of sunlight and water and they will reward you will yummy fresh veggies even on the coldest of days! Here's a bit more on my winter garden from this past year.
2. Use a produce eating pattern.
You know that carrots will last a long time in the fridge while lettuce tends to go bad quickly. And of course apples can last for months when stored at a cooler temp while peaches will go bad not long after they ripen. Use these trends to make your meal plan! If you know that you will be able to get lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, apples, cabbage, and oranges on your next grocery shopping trip, make sure to plan meals with the lettuce and tomatoes first, cabbage and oranges sometimes in the middle, and apples and carrots towards the end of the month.
3. Add in frozen produce.
Sometimes it isn't always possible to get fresh produce to last until the end of the month. This is when we like to add more frozen produce into our diet. Frozen produce not only lasts a long time, it was usually picked at peak ripeness so it contains a great deal of the original nutrients, and it's inexpensive! I love to buy my frozen produce at Costco where I can get 5lbs of peas, broccoli, corn, and more for around $5-$6…for organic!
4. Keep your produce well.
If you practice good root cellaring techniques and keep your produce drawer clean and rotated (we also use these BluApples in our produce drawers in the fridge), food will last longer. One rotten apple will spoil the whole bunch quickly! We make sure to store our longer lasting produce (winter squash, apples, carrots, onions, potatoes, etc) in root cellar like conditions to keep them lasting as long as possible. Here's a chart of how long items can last in proper cold storage.
And of course we try to let nothing go to waste at our home, so anything that we didn't eat quick enough before it spoiled or got mushy heads straight to my piggy slop pail or for the ducks to munch on.
Using these techniques we can usually keep our produce buying to once a month along with the rest of our groceries. Of course if we happen to be in town near the grocery store and have money left in our grocery budget for the month we will grab a few extras as well to keep our diet fresh and interesting!
Make sure to check out all of our articles on Buying in Bulk for even more tips on this topic.
What are some of your best tips for making produce last a long time?
Another line of thought is to eat with the seasons. January tomatoes taste like cardboard,so I don't buy them. If I need or want to add them to a salad or something similar,I drain(very well!) some home canned ones. It isn't quite the same as fresh,but isn't that why I canned them in the first place? We also shop once a month. I go to an Amish bulk food store for most things. Our local grocery store is small and expensive! I do buy some bananas sometimes,as well as celery to use in soups,etc. I try to keep apples for the duration,as well as potatoes,onions,and carrots. The other fruits and veggies were either canned or frozen last summer and fall. I do get a hankering for something green and fresh about now..but dandelions will soon be here..I hope! I do appreciate your tips on storing these things,though. You accomplish alot for a young person!!
another thing my FIL told me was to not wash the vegetables until you use them.
We use romaine hearts in the winter. The shelf life on these is much longer then that of iceberg. It also is crisp.
It's really a matter of self control around here. It's funny really. I "think" I need to go to the grocery……. But reality is different.
we have been snowed in and experiencing very cold temperatures…. I haven't been out since Sunday, and haven't been to a store in weeks (I normally go every week). Not shopping has forced us to eat the avacodos that were about to go bad, the peppers hiding in the back of the fridge, the 25 lbs of apples in the outside storage , and the cabbage that's been sitting in the bottom drawer for 2 months!
You are right. I can go much longer than I think between grocery trips.
I just love the tip about practicing produce rotation. SO simple, yet SO smart. I need to spread out my grocery visits a bit more, I am sure it would be better for the family budget. Thanks for the encouragement.
In the heat we have here on the coast, drying food is a way to preserve food for winter. Although we can grow some things year round, an abundance of some things like basil, which I love, is easily dried. We love sun dried tomatoes too. With just two of us, it is sometimes cheaper to buy or beg, : ), produce or fruit from others. That's why I have a freezer with figs, persimmons, chopped clementines, kumquats every year. Most people are happy to share so we are blessed with fruit from trees like these. Never hurts to ask!
To make fresh berries last from the grocery store put them in a 3part water part apple cider vinegar, and swirl them around for a minute or two as soon as you get them home. This will kill bacteria just waiting to mold your precious berries! Dry them gently and put back in the package and in the refrigerator. They wont taste like vinegar, and will last a lot longer. Ive done this with strawberries, black berries, rasberries, and blue berries and it works every time!!
This is such great advice. I have failed several times at doing this so I really appreciate the tips. Thanks for sharing this with the Tips & Tricks Link Party. Pinned!
But the name of the article was how to make them last all month long, how do you make produce last all month long? Not just eating with seasons or in a pattern, how do you make the lettuce I just bought last all month because I am not going shopping again for a month. Help??
Not every kind of produce will last for an entire month. The idea behind this article is to eat your produce in a pattern…with the varieties that go bad first being eaten first.
Store your fruits & veggies in seperate produce drawers because the fruits give off a gas as they ripen (even very slowly in the fridge) that will speed up the ripening of the veggies (which generally ripen slower). So veggies will,last linger if seperated from fruit. Also, I store asparagus upright in a wide-mouth coffee mug of water…like a vase of flowers. They last a long time this way!
I wish there was a way to preserve lettuce. I crave those chicken Cesar salads we have weekly during the warmer months. I eat seasonally with the occasional splurge if something is on sale or looks decent. I also follow a pattern where the most fragile produce gets used first. I use canned tomatoes all winter and I freeze what I can if we haven't used it up before it expires. I have a window herb garden so that helps with some freshness. I've gotten my shopping down to once every two weeks, and my goal is once a month. We're in a rental, but I'm planning a big container garden this spring, my first garden that I'm hoping the deer keep away from! I'm trying to look up winter gardening for next fall as well.
To extend leafy veggie purchases (like the kinds you get in the bag or plastic boxes), put a couple of paper towels in the top of the package. This will wick any moisture out of the container which leads to wilted soggy greens. Has helped me extend those purchases by as much as 2 weeks or more!
I love this post. I shop once every two weeks and I have had things go bad in that amount of time.
Our potatoes from the store sprout and rot within a week or 10 days at most in Texas. Short of storing them in the fridge, I have to use 5-10 lbs. of potatoes in a week, which we get tired of. I do freeze mashed potatoes.
Check out articles about making fermented foods. I buy vegetables on sale and then ferment some of them, including cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, onions, cucumbers, etc. It's easy and the food lasts a month or more. You don't have to buy special equipment-just use wide mouth canning jars or large size peanut butter jars and use a cabbage leaf or small glass jar to weight the produce down under the liquid. it's fun and amazing!
