Films, Holocaust Documentary
Documentary films about the Holocaust are generally well-researched and precise chronicles of the inordinately tragic events in Europe from 1933 through 1945. They include films of the Ministry of Propaganda of the Third Reich, made at the time these tragic events were taking place, and documentary studies of these events that appeared years afterward. Each film has its own historical context, values, and sociopolitical and moral impact.
Origins of Genocide
One can trace the sources of some of the Third Reich's anti-Semitic and genocidal policies to eugenics, the early twentieth-century pseudo-science and international social movement. That some "races" are superior to others was a doctrinal element of this movement. Selling Murder: The Killing Films of the Third Reich (1991), a film written by Michael Burleigh and directed by Joanna Mack, chronicles Nazi propaganda films of the 1930s. It has unsettling clips from Erb Krank (The hereditarily ill, 1935), which provide a basis for understanding Germany's efforts to create a biological new world order—an agenda that included the elimination of persons with disabilities. Peter Cohen's documentary films Architecture of Doom (1991) and Homo Sapiens 1990 (2000) both delineate how, in Germany, "aesthetic" cleansing both in art and human form, as well as "racial purity," would become rationales for the mass murder of the weak and marginalized. In the Shadow of the Reich: Nazi Medicine (1996), a documentary film by the author of this article, places the origins of eugenicsrelated medical practices used by the Nazis and experimentation with human subjects in the involuntary sterilization laws that were passed in the United States in the 1920s.
Third Reich Propaganda
Joseph Goebbels became the Reich Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment in 1933, and subsequently all German-made films were scrupulously censored by his office—as part of the effort to promote a collective vision of an "Aryan" Germany and its great destiny. Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935) and Olympia (1938), the most well known of the Nazi propaganda films, are about the Nazi party rally in Nuremberg in 1934 and the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, respectively. Merging propaganda and art, the films—as propaganda pieces—have few rivals. Less well known is Riefenstahl's Victory of Faith (1933), about the (more seminal) 1933 Nazi party rally in Nuremberg. Providing direct evidence of the propaganda campaigns of the Third Reich are Die Deutsche Wochenschau (weekly newsreels produced in Nazi Germany) and the large number of films about these campaigns that have been made in Great Britain and the United States. Among films that document the Nazi rise to power, two stand out: Campaign in Poland (1939), a Nazi-produced propaganda film that strove to justify the German invasion of Poland, and For Us (1937), a film about the sixteen German demonstrators who died during the failed Munich Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 (Hitler's first attempt to gain power in Germany). More pernicious is the viscerally anti-Semitic film The Eternal Jew (1940), which compares Jews to rodents that have infested civilized society. In general, the Nazi documentaries portray Hitler and the Third Reich as saviors of the German people—a superior race destined for eternal glory.
Overview of the Holocaust
Several films provide an overview of the Nazi Holocaust. One of the earliest of these is Alain Resnais's Night and Fog (1955), filmed within a decade of the events and two decades before the U.S. production Holocaust (1978), the made-for-television miniseries. Night and Fog, which shows footage of abandoned concentration camps (such as they were in 1955) mixed with wartime footage of the camps, chronicles the cruelties of the Holocaust. It documents the rise of the Nazi Party and the horrors of the concentration camps—from the round-ups of prisoners to the camp experiences. The film's closing sequence consists of footage from the 1946 Nuremberg Trials.
"Genocide," written by Michael Barlow, was an episode within the British made-for-television series World at War (1975), narrated by Laurence Olivier. It furnishes a basic understanding of the forces that produced the Holocaust.
Claude Lanzmann's nine-hour documentary epic Shoah (1986) is a provocative study of the Holocaust that includes interviews with eyewitnesses of many nationalities. The film, which does not use archival footage, blends heartrending testimony from interviewees, who represent a wide array of perspectives that divulge the horrors of the camps.
The Cross and the Star: Jews, Christians, and the Holocaust (1992), a film by the author of this article, examines how religious, political, and cultural anti-Semitism can be traced from the Gospels, through the Crusades and Inquisition courts, to Auschwitz.
By the time the brutal Nazi war machine was fully in operation, resistance forces in several European nations had come into being. Resistance took many shapes—spiritual, political, and military. Marcel Ophuls's controversial documentary The Sorrow and the Pity (1970) tells the story of France under Nazi occupation, at times confronting what some historians considered the "myth" of the resistance. Interviewed in the film are French men and women who found themselves performing heroic acts for the Free French movement, as well as those who collaborated with the Nazis. Aviva Kemner's Partisans of Vilna (1986) is an account of the lesser-known Jewish resistance movement in Eastern Europe; it shows Jews in an active role, taking on their enemies, and challenges the more prevalent view of Jewish victimization and passivity during the Holocaust. Haim Gouri's Flames in the Ashes (1985), the Israeli educational film Forests of Valor (1989), and Chuck Olin's In Our Own Hands (1998) poignantly document the generally underrecognized Jewish resistance.
The Foundation for Moral Courage (formerly Documentaries International) produces educational films and teachers' guides. It has produced a series of films about rescue efforts during the Holocaust; the films include The Other Side of Faith (1990) and Zegota (1991), both dealing with rescue efforts that took place in Poland; Rescue in Scandinavia (1994); and It Was Nothing—It Was Everything (1998), about the rescue of Jews in Greece during the Holocaust.
Two of the better-known films about rescue efforts during the Holocaust are Alexander Ramati's The Assisi Underground (1985) and Pierre Suavage's Weapons of the Spirit (1988). Both films illustrate how the altruism of private individuals saved lives. The Assisi Underground is about rescue efforts by Italian priests. Weapons of the Spirit is the story of a small town in France, Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, inhabited mostly by French Protestants (descendants of Huguenots), in which villagers risked their lives to shelter and hide approximately five thousand Jews.
Two films that focus on the rescue of children are Mark Jonathan Harris's Into the Arms of Strangers (2001) and Melissa Hacker's My Knees Were Jumping: Remembering the Kindertransports (1998).
The Ghetto Experience
Roman Polanski's Oscar-winning feature film The Pianist (2003) and Jon Avnet's television miniseries Uprising (2001), both fictional accounts of historical events, brought about a renewed interest in the Warsaw Ghetto and its resistance movement. A documentary film entitled The Warsaw Ghetto (1969), a BBC production, studies the daily life and the struggle to survive within the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. David Kaufman's documentary film From Despair to Defiance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (2002) tells the story of that uprising via the personal accounts of veterans of the Warsaw Jewish Fighting Organization. A related documentary film is Alan Adelson and Kathryn Taverna's Lodz Ghetto (1989), about the Nazi occupation of the Polish city of Lodz.
Produced by the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda of the Third Reich, Theresienstadt was shot in 1944—a film that (the Nazis presumed) would be used to prove to the International Red Cross and the world that Jews were being well treated in "relocation camps." The film purports to show the wholesome daily life of Jews in Theresienstadt (in Czech, Terezín), a "city" established by the Nazis in the former Czechoslovakia. The film was an elaborate hoax. Every scene in the film is staged. Upon completion of the film, most of its cast of prisoners were shipped to Auschwitz. The Führer Gives the Jews a City is a 1991 reconstruction of the film. Malcolm Clarke and Stuart Sender's Prisoner of Paradise (2002) tells the tragic story of Kurt Gerron, a German-Jewish cabaret and film star—and the director of Theresienstadt.
The Memory of the Camps was filmed by the British Army in 1945 (and stored in London's Imperial War Museum until 1984); it is a compilation of original documentary footage taken inside the concentration camps immediately following Germany's surrender and the liberation of the camps. Alfred Hitchcock served as one of the consultants. The film was never shown until 1985, when it was broadcast by PBS Frontline.
A camera crew accompanying the Russian Army filmed the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945; the Russians excepted, the armies of the United States and Great Britain (with their camera crews) were the first to document the horrors of the camps. In the wake of liberation, the U.S. government sponsored several films about the camps and the freeing of prisoners, including Nazi Concentration Camps (1945), Death Mills (1945), and Henri-Cartier Bresson's The Reunion (1946). Bresson, a prisoner of war, made the film for the U.S. Information Service.
Among the films that are about the experiences of other (non-Jewish) prisoners in concentration camps, two stand out. The Watch Tower Society's Jehovah's Witnesses Stand Firm Against Nazi Assault (1996) deals with the persecution of Witnesses in the camps, and Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Freidman's Paragraph 175 (1999) recounts the persecution of homosexuals.
Postwar Narratives
In the wake of the Nuremberg Trials, the U.S. government produced Nuremberg (1946), an account of the actual trials, which includes the footage of the camps at liberation that was shown at the trials, as evidence of German crimes against humanity. Marcel Ophuls's film diptych about the Nazi crimes examines the phenomenon of sadism. The films that make up this diptych, The Memory of Justice (1976) and Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie (1988), uncover some aspects of the psychology of human barbarism.
Displaced: Miracle at St. Ottilien (2002), another film by the author of this article, and Mark Jonathan Harris's Long Road Home (2002) show evidence that, immediately following the war, the world's populations became rapidly disinterested in the plight of persons displaced by the war. The films illustrate how the survivors of the Nazi genocide were able to begin life anew in the state of Israel, a reluctantly welcoming America, or a postwar Nazi-free Europe.

THE ESSENTIAL DUCHAMP | REVIEW
BY Monique Richter
Showcasing over 100 artworks from Marcel Duchamp, the Art Gallery of New South Wales were not kidding when they described the exhibition as "The most in-depth survey of the art and life of Marcel Duchamp ever to be seen in the Asia-Pacific region".
Before you even enter the exhibition, there is a free "pre-exhibition" display of artworks that have been inspired by Marcel Duchamp, including works from Jeff Koons, Sir Tony Cragg, and Rebecca Horn. An added detail that was not required, but definitely appreciated.
In the exhibition itself, there are about five separate rooms, each dedicated to distinctive periods in Duchamp's artistic career. Starting with his early fascination in Impressionism and his more recognisable cubist work, followed by his famous "Readymades", which is then bookended with his final work Étant donnés that he worked on for 20 years.
Aptly named The Essential Duchamp, the exhibition is a thorough exploration of Duchamp and his evolving art. A particularly informative aspect of the exhibition were the biographical paragraphs that greet you at the start of each section, as they effectively tie in the recurrent themes that pervaded his art throughout his career and what was happening in Duchamp's life at the time.
The rooms became dimmer and dimmer as you traverse Duchamp's artistic biography, and although this was a practical choice intended to protect fragile artworks, it unintentionally contributes to an almost eerie atmosphere. The final display of Étant donnés, an artwork that was only revealed after his death, is haunting. The small, dark enclosed space and a lifeless body was Duchamp's curtain call.
Although this exhibition is certainly essential for those who particularly appreciate Duchamp's art, it is also essential for everyone else, as the ripples of Duchamp's influence pervade art and culture to this day.
If you want to catch the Essential Duchamp, the exhibition finishes up on 11 August 2019 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Georgina Rodríguez revives tourism in Huesca and triples the sales of her favorite sausages
comeback Dazzling and sad: Georgina Rodríguez in the spotlight at Cannes
Ivana From 65 to 100 kilos, the great change of Georgina Rodríguez's sister: "I am in a recovery process"
Georgina Rodríguez, born in Buenos Aires to an Argentine father and a Murcian mother, partner of soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, lived from the age of three to 17 in Jaca (Huesca), where his parents settled. When she came of age and before leaving for Madrid, she worked for almost twelve months as a waitress in a hotel in the Huesca town of Graus.
That's why, in the docu-reality I'm Georgina (Netflix) the most important scenarios of his childhood appear and early youth. Since its premiere last January, curiosity and interest in knowing those places where I lived has increased.
The Georgina effect continues and, for example, contributed to sales of secallona de Graus will increase, a typical product of this town in Huesca, a favorite of the celebrity, that last Saturday celebrated the Fiesta de la Longaniza.
More than 9,000 portions of a giant sausage roasted on a 25-square-meter grill were distributed, for which a crane was needed to turn. In the aforementioned documentary, Georgina appears tasting secallona (dry and cured sausage) while exclaiming: "how delicious! I have a very fast metabolism and I knock on wood because I never changed, because I love to eat and I really enjoy eating."
He explains that this artisan sausage from Graus, which has the C for quality, is the favorite of his partner Cristiano Ronaldo and his children also like it.
Georgina shopping at Embutidos AventnNetflix
During the recording, Georgina passed through the center of Jaca, entered some establishments, such as a candy store on Calle Mayor where she used to buy when she was a child. She visited the Romanesque cathedral, where she took a photo next to Christ, which she later posted on Instagram with the following message: "So many prayers at your feet, so many wishes and tears. Today at last, I meet you again. Thank you for lighting my path and always being with me."
Scenes were also recorded in the Citadel, a pentagonal-shaped military fortress, as well as in the school where she studied dance. It shows the people and places in Jaca that most marked her life, since, as she says, Jaca is her "house", the city where I grew up, "where I danced, enjoyed the love of my family and that is what has marked me. It's very important not to forget where I come from."

Georgina studied at the Santa Ana de Jaca school and at the age of four began her dance training at the Susana Ara academy, together with her sister, who was a year older than her. His aptitude for dancing led him to be part of the Young Ballet of the Pyrenees. The repercussions of the documentary I'm Georgina They were noticed in shops, restaurants and tourist places in Jaca, and the whole town thanked him for the promotion.
GRAUS HOTEL
In Graus, Georgina visited the Lleida hotel, where she worked for almost a year and where she spoke with former colleagues and with the owner and manager of the establishment, Consuelo Arcas. This pointed out that the now famous "I already had my head very well furnished".
Followed by cameras and onlookers, in the Plaza Mayor she explained the artistic value of the Renaissance facades and the town hall, and even spoke live with Cristiano. Then he went to the Basilica of the Virgen de la Pea, where I used to go to pray while living in Grausat the foot of whose image he deposited a bouquet of white flowers.
then it was noticed the increase in visits to the spectacular Gothic Renaissance temple, located on the outskirts of the town on a promontory from where you can see the town, to take the same photo in front of the image of the Virgin that Georgina took.
Georgina enjoying Embutidos Aventn productsNetflix
He took his sister to the Aventn butcher shop so that he would know "where he bought the sausages". She talked to the shop assistants, Alicia and Cristina, and she claimed to remember the mornings and afternoons she went to the store to buy.
"I spent an hour watching how the grandmothers shopped. You made me very happy and gave me company." He remembered that they gave him a "course" to differentiate between secallona, longaniza or fuet.

recognized be a "in love" with the Iberians and in fact he stressed that his children also share these same tastes. During the recording she was treated to a small tasting that she shared with the film crew.
Those responsible for Aventn explained the impact that Georgina's presence has had on their establishment, since received a lot of calls from abroad, especially from Central America, asking for secallona.
People still come to visit the store where Georgina used to shop and some customers even ask the shop assistants who appeared in the documentary for photos. Sausages Aventn tripled daily orders through online sales and many people asked them to be able to sell them products outside of Spain, in countries like Nicaragua, the United Kingdom, Italy or the USA. After Georgina's boom, the firm considered being able to sell internationally, something that it finally rejected.
Graus appears in the documentary for about 15 minutes and they say that he put this tourist town on the world map with "priceless" publicity. At the tourist office there are still people who ask about the places where the audiovisual was shot and They assure that their web page grew by 20,000 more queries than normal.
THE SAUSAGE FESTIVAL
The longaniza is the most typical product of Graus, along with the truffle, as it has a research center and a market for sale on weekends during the truffle campaign. Last Saturday the Fiesta de la Longaniza was celebrated, declared of tourist interest in Aragón since 2013.
The central act consisted of preparing the largest barbecue in the world, Guinness record since 1997, of 504.47 meters in length and about 1,100 kilos of sausage, roasted on the embers of 890 kilos of charcoal, as well as the free distribution of some 9,000 servings. Turning the 25 square meter grill required a crane.
The barbecue of the Fiesta de la LonganizaGraus Tourism
In addition to the 3,000 residents of Graus, many others from nearby towns attended the party and, mainly, from points in Aragón and Catalonia. Foreign tourists such as French and Dutch who spend their vacations in the town joined.

The festival is organized by the Longaniza Manufacturers Association, made up of the companies Aventn, Melsa and Maella, with the collaboration of the City Council. Each year the "appraiser", tester, an honor that on this occasion fell to the filmmaker Eugenio Monesma.
After the repercussion of the docu-reality there was talk of proposing Georgina as a "tastadora", something that is not ruled out, ambassador of the sausage of Graus which, in a way, it already is with the documentary and the millions of followers it has.
Secallona is a product cured in dryers natural that has a characteristic flavor. In its preparation, lean pork meat is used, a minimum of 70%, and bacon, jowls or bacon, never more than 30%. As condiments and spices, common salt, pepper, organ salt, nutmeg, anise or aromatic wines, cloves and other natural ones can be used.
Each manufacturer jealously guards its own recipe, which gives each brand a unique taste. In Graus, also Other sausages are made and cured such as chorizo, loins or sausages.
Embutidos Aventn, in whose store Georgina Rodríguez bought secallona and longaniza while she was in Graus (about 3,300 inhabitants), is a company founded in 1963 by Basilio Aventn and Teresa Mata, whose legacy has been continued by María Dolores Aventn and Ramón Balaguer. It has more than 30 workers and, although it maintains the quality and flavor of the longaniza and the traditional way of making sausage, it is constantly evolving both in facilities and in product variety. It is part of the Association of Longaniza Manufacturers of Graus, in charge of organizing the popular Longaniza Festival and which also includes Embutidos Artesanos Melsa, founded in 1860 by the Melsa family, and Casa Maella, whose history dates back to 1415, and is considered the oldest butcher shop in Aragon.

Q: Azure DNS Records Not Propagating I am having issues with my Azure DNS records propagating. Azure automatically created these records in the DNS server after I tried to hook up my custom domain from my static web application. Now it is just spinning on "validating" and no external DNS checking tools are showing any info.
Is there anything I can do to force these records to propagate?

A: •   First, please check whether your custom domain name is verified in Azure or not and its public DNS records are correctly retrieved and verified for custom DNS record verification. As you are mapping your custom domain with your static website, would suggest you to please ensure that a CNAME record is created in your DNS record set for the static website endpoint.
•   And if the CNAME record is created, then you can access your static website with the CNAME record alias. If not, then wait for 24-48 hours for this DNS mapping to be completed at your public DNS zone server. Once done, then try to 'nslookup' the public FQDN of the static website endpoint or CNAME alias from an internet enabled Windows system as follows. It will showup as authoritative response and popup a public IP address for that FQDN or if the public DNS server's certification authority is not trusted, then it will show up as 'non-authoritative' and show up the IP address of the static website.
 nslookup
 Azstaticwebsite.customdomain.com

Output: -

•   Also, if the custom domain is owned by you and publicly reachable, then try to ping it from the command prompt, you will get a response with IP address as reachable or not. And do ensure that the domain name 'arglasser.com' is owned by you and you have it verified as a custom domain in Azure because if it is not, then all your DNS records formed might not get validated and your website will not be publicly available.

Чарльз Стюарт Тодд () — американский военный, полковник, государственный чиновник, дипломат, адвокат, литератор.

Чарльз Стюарт Тодд — сын члена Верховного суда США Томаса Тодда и его первой жены, Элизабет Харрис. Он родился недалеко от Дэнвилла, штат Кентукки, и жил в этом штате почти всю жизни. Тодд учился некоторое время в Университете Трансильвании, после чего перевелся в Колледж Вильгельма и Марии, который окончил в 1809 году. Он изучал право вместе со своим отцом в Вашингтоне, а затем учился в Литчфилдской школе права (англ. Litchfield Law School). В 1811 году был принят в коллегию адвокатов штата и занимался адвокатской практикой в г. Лексингтоне, штат Кентукки.

Тодд добровольцем принял участие в англо-американской войне 1812-14 годов, служа младшим военным прокурором в подразделении генерала Джеймса Винчестера. В 1813 году он стал капитаном пехоты и был адъютантом генерала Уильяма Генри Харрисона в битве при Темзе. В марте 1815 года он был назначен адъютантом губернатора Исаака Шелби в звании полковника. Тогда же Тодд основал адвокатскую практику в столице штата Кентукки Франкфорте, где и началась его дипломатическая и политическая карьера.

16 июня 1816 года Тодд сочетался браком с младшей из дочерей Исаака Шелби, Летицией, у четы было 12 детей.

В течение нескольких лет он служил членом Палаты представителей штата после ее учреждения, а в 1817 году был назначен секретарем штата Кентукки. В 1820 году Тодд был агентом по особым поручениям (англ. Confidential Agent) и до 1824 года находился в Великой Колумбии. Президент США Джеймс Монро предложил Тодду должность секретаря делегации в Великой Колумбии в 1823 году, но он отклонил это предложение. Вместо этого Тодд отправился на покой в округе Шелби, штат Кентукки, где он работал на своей ферме и начал писать.

Тодд вернулся к государственным делам после того, как был назначен посланником в России. С 1841 по 1846 год он занимал пост пятнадцатого посла США в России во время администрации президента Джона Тайлера. Он вернулся в США в 1846 году и занимался разведением скота и литературным творчеством. Позднее он отказался от выдвижения своей кандидатуры на пост губернатора Кентукки, но сохранял политическую активность во время президентской кампании Закари Тейлора (1858). Тодд интересовался перспективами развития штата Техас и его сетью железных дорог. Он занимал должности редактора в газетах Louisville Industrial and Commercial Gazette и Cincinnati Republican.

В 1871 году Тодд скончался от пневмонии в г. Батон-Руж, штат Луизиана, в доме своего зятя, судьи Поузи. Он был похоронен на кладбище Роузхилл Элмвуд в г. Оуэнсборо, штат Кентукки.

Even if you pour all your resources into your website, they will not matter if nobody would see it. To help you meet your sales quota, Shopify integrated SEO features into the platform.

Q: How does the rate limiting work on the pagination for twitter v2 api work? Does it count towards the limit of the same endpoint? So if I was to loop through a list that I receive with a get request with the pagination tokens would each subsequent request count towards the rate limit?

A: Unfortunately, each call to the API counts in the rate limit, whether you are using a pagination token or not. You can easily check it by trying to get all the followers of a very famous account.
But please note that, if you are using Tweepy, you don't need to handle the pagination tokens etc. The library contains a Paginator class to help you with that (see the documentation here).

There was a time when companies looking to ban visible tattoos in the workplace had a relatively easy time of it. After all, employees with tattoos have no specific legal protections under Title VII. And yet, the EEOC has filed a number of lawsuits against companies that prohibit visible tattoos.
Once again, a seemingly straightforward employment law matter is growing increasingly murky.
Tattoos are a subject on which there are strong opinions. Some people view body art as an important medium for personal expression, but like other artistic mediums, not everyone will see the beauty in another's tattoo.
Tattoos are far more mainstream than they used to be. According to a 2017 Harris poll, 47% of millennials and 36% of GenXers have a least one tattoo. But for people above the age of 40, that number drops to 10%. This generational divide has the potential for conflict, where one strongly held view about workplace "appropriateness" conflicts with another about "personal expression".
Courts have enforced a company's right to determine its brand reputation, as well as the connection between employee appearance and that brand image. However, it's critically important for employers to consider if a policy prohibiting visible tattoos, one that may have no clear foundation in business need, can make an organization appear stuffy, inflexible, and unappealing. Even the United States military – the epitome of discipline, order, and conservatism – loosened its restrictions on visible tattoos in 2007.
Employers may have a knee-jerk, negative reaction to tattoos, but these reactions are often based on stereotypes rather than fact or actual business need. Remember that the millennial generation is 65 million strong and represents the largest pool of workers and customers this country has ever seen. And based on that Harris poll, more than 30 million of them have at least one tattoo.
With recruitment, retention, and business growth strategies in mind, it may be time for companies to revisit their visible tattoo prohibitions. But these aren't the only reasons to take another look.
People who voluntarily receive body art are not a protected class covered by Title VII. This doesn't mean, however, that employers can ban all visible tattoos without making room for legally necessary exceptions.
Title VII does protect employees based on their sincerely held religious beliefs, for example. So, if the employee you hired in the winter suddenly reveals a tattoo when their wardrobe changes to short-sleeved shirts, remember to proceed with caution.
In 2005, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers refused to accommodate an employee's request for an exception to the company's policy banning visible tattoos. The employee insisted his tattoos were integral to a sincerely held religious belief, and it was a sin against his religion to cover his tattoos. Red Robin fired the employee, and was promptly sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, who claimed religious discrimination. The company – clearly sensing a losing case – settled out of court for $150,000 and a promise to revamp their internal policies.
An interesting side note to this case is that the employee had been on the job for six months before he was approached about the policy violation. In that time, he had received positive comments on his performance and interacted well with customers. All of which begs the question, just what message was this company trying to send? That a potentially outdated policy on visible tattoos is more important than customer satisfaction?
There are valid business reasons for a policy banning visible tattoos. Employees in conservative industries such as banking, for example, would expect such a policy, as would the customers of those businesses.
More importantly, a company can and should protect itself against possible legal claims by banning visible tattoos that are offensive in nature, such as those which are extremist, indecent, racist, or sexist. Additionally, tattoos that pose safety issues, such as gang tattoos, can be prohibited.
The target pool of potential employees.
The policy is applied fairly to all employees in similar positions.
The policy makes exceptions for reasonable accommodations, such as religious observance.
Facial piercings and unnatural hair color are often treated similarly to tattoos, and policies should follow the exact same guidelines to ensure business need and legal compliance, including the same exceptions for sincerely held religious beliefs.
Their religion is a bona fide one.
Their religious belief is determined to be sincerely held.
These aren't always the case.
Subway Restaurants have a policy prohibiting visible body piercings, a policy that's commonly accepted in the food service industry based on customer expectations and food safety standards. But this policy was challenged by an employee, who claimed her facial piercing could not be removed due to her religion.
After losing her job for refusing to remove the piercing, the defendant sued her former employer. She claimed the company failed to accommodate her sincerely held religious belief. However, her claim was undermined when it was proven that she'd removed her piercing to gain access to a dance club. The court threw out her lawsuit, ruling in the employer's favor.
Simply put, an insincere belief carries no legal weight, nor does a sincere belief in a "religion" that is actually not a religion. The EEOC defines a bona fide religion as having "ultimate ideas" about "life, purpose, and death." It states that "social, political, or economic philosophies, as well as mere personal preferences, are not religious beliefs protected by Title VII".
Tattoos are an increasing presence in the workplace, and employers must find a way to address them that balances business needs and legal accommodations.

Uruguayan diplomat Luis Almagro, elected secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) last week, says he wants to revitalize the hemispheric organization – a herculean, if not impossible, task. Almagro was the only candidate remaining after Guatemalan Eduardo Stein and Peruvian Diego García-Sayán withdrew from the race – the former for health concerns, and the latter due to a perceived lack of support from his government. Almagro previously served as Foreign Minister under former president José Mujica and is a member of his Movimiento de Participación Popular, whose left-leaning sympathies led observers to wonder whether Almagro could draw sufficient backing even running unopposed. But Almagro received formal support from several prominent nations ahead of time, including Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, and he got 33 of 34 votes (Guyana abstained) to secure his election. Following the election, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for the new Secretary General to "lead the OAS through this genuine reform process by helping to refocus the OAS on its core pillars – democracy, human rights, sustainable development, and citizen security," all while resolving its fiscal challenges. "We look to [him] for his leadership, but we want him to know that he does not stand alone." His five-year term begins in May.
The political crisis in Venezuela has long challenged the OAS, and an escalation in sanctions and rhetoric from the United States has made its balancing act harder. Current Secretary General José Miguel Insulza criticized the Obama administration's national security warnings while also calling out the Maduro government for the arrest of opposition leader Antonio Ledezma and its resistance to dialogue with the opposition. Almagro has been critical of U.S. sanctions as well, and quietly worked behind the scenes to encourage negotiations between political opponents in Venezuela, but his public silence on abuses by the Maduro government worries his critics.
The Cuba issue will also put Almagro in a tight spot. Havana's participation in the Summit of the Americas is likely to build pressures for its readmission to the OAS, and Almagro's record shows he'll be sympathetic. But the process could be fraught with risks for the new Secretary General. Outgoing Secretary General Insulza bears scars attesting to U.S. Senators' penchant for personalizing attacks when the OAS doesn't go their way.
Any reform agenda is going to get battered from both sides. The OAS mandates are broad and expensive, and members don't agree on priorities. As Deputy Secretary Blinken's comments suggest, Washington wants the organization to focus on its agenda, but much of South America, particularly the ALBA countries, wants the OAS to pull away from U.S. influence. Nor do differences lie strictly along North-South lines, as made clear by protests during last year's general assembly against Brazil's resolution condemning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Almagro seems to have the experience and temperament to be an excellent choice for the job, and his coming from Uruguay, whose good offices have credibility virtually everywhere, may serve the OAS well. But the challenges will be daunting. He faces several ongoing crises, particularly in Venezuela, and ongoing splits within the region over the OAS's role. One tempting option would be for Almagro to try to distance himself and the organization from Washington – a difficult task at best. Not only is his headquarters several hundred meters from the White House and the State Department, but the United States government (and to a lesser extent Canada) provides substantially more funding for the OAS's general fund and through special donations than any other member state. Almagro's actions will also be watched closely by U.S. conservatives who, stung by President Obama's move toward diplomatic relations with Cuba, are looking for a fight over Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, and even on some issues with Brazil. Whatever Almagro does, it will be with the black cloud of the OAS's financial difficulties over him, and the possibility that failing to successfully balance all of these issues may weaken the OAS and benefit regional organizations like CELAC and UNASUR, which are smaller and less well established, but independent of North American influence.
Central American Minors: Headed Home?
Insulza was a disaster as a leader of the unruly membership of the OAS — and he had been a worse-than-mediocre foreign minister in Chile, too. Good riddance! Let's see if Almagro can accomplish something despite what looks like Mission Impossible.

Home Opinion Between folly and the "Awada Kerikeri" at Iyamho, By Sufuyan Ojeifo
Between folly and the "Awada Kerikeri" at Iyamho, By Sufuyan Ojeifo
chinext
I have never known the former Edo State Governor and National Chair of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to be a Moslem. As far as I know him, he is a Catholic of the Christian faith. I can, therefore, confidently attack the premise on which the beleaguered Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, visited him on the occasion of the recent Eid-el-Kabir. The visit, to put it unambiguously, was not fundamentally religious. It was just an opportunity to create a locus for political benefit.
The over-the-top action of "invading" the Iyamho country home of Oshiomhole with an entourage of his new commissioners, whose appointment had spawned political animus, actually defined the shape and texture of the "surprise" visit as described by most of the syndicated media reports. But there was no reinforcing content in the meeting.
A statement by the Governor's Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Crusoe Osagie, had provided the peg for the media reports of the visit, which failed to maximize the opportunity to prove beyond doubt that the governor was not just play-acting. Obaseki did not seek private audience with Oshiomhole to discuss the elephant in the room: the political crisis occasioned by the divisive inauguration of the State House of Assembly and subsequent dissolution of the cabinet.
When I saw the "breaking news" on one of the online news portals on Monday, August 12, 2019, I had expected Obaseki to request that his retinue of officials should step out so that he could have a one-on-one meeting with Oshiomhole on the way forward. He never did that. Instead, according to grapevines, he was exchanging banter with Oshiomhole in the presence of everyone that came with him. But because he failed to do so, two things readily came to mind: one, he possibly was unconsciously exhibiting folly and/or, two, it was possibly part of his deliberate script to create the impression that all was well between them even when it was evident that there was crisis in the APC political family in Edo.
The statement by Osagie, which was extensively quoted by the various media organs, reinforced the second possibility by creating a veneer of bogus peace in the political family. He merely communicated the hollowness in the razzmatazz that the governor created by the so-called "surprise" visit. His claim that the visit had punctured the notion that Obaseki and Oshiomhole were quarreling was laughable. Don't enemies live together under the same roof and pretend that all is well?
It is thus pathetic that Obaseki and his group tried to hide behind a finger in dismissing the notion of adversarial relationship between him and his predecessor. And, that Oshiomhole would lay the blame at the doorsteps of the media was, understandably, a red herring. Osagie had pointed the finger at those who allegedly profit from the challenges (crisis) as those working so hard to foment or stoke the fire. He said they were the ones who were creating tension and driving division in the State.
Since, according to him, his imagined trouble makers would twist the purpose of Obaseki's visit to Oshiomhole, I ask: what then was the essential purpose of the surprise visit? Osagie failed to state what the reasonable and essential purpose of the visit was. But the governor was quoted to have said that he had met with Oshiomhole and that efforts were being made to resolve the issues between them.
Read what the governor reportedly said at St. Paul Catholic Church, Benin, during a mass organised to mark the 80th birthday of former National Chair of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun: "We have met-me and my predecessor in office- and fortunately, we do not have any fundamental issues. And because we do not have fundamental issues, I believe that whatever third parties are trying to propagate, I am sure we can talk over it. I assure you that very soon things will return to normalcy in Edo State."
This is simply approbating and reprobating. Osagie was reprobating on the one hand and had, yet on the other hand, reported his boss to be approbating on the issue of crisis between him and Oshiomhole. Osagie said there were no challenges, tension and division; yet Obaseki was quoted to have agreed that there were issues but that they were not fundamental. Further still, he had asserted that whatever third parties were trying to propagate could be talked over. Pray, why did the governor bother to assure us that things would return to normalcy in Edo state very soon if there were no issues?
His acceptance that things have not been normal validates the very notion of "adversarial disposition", which his media aide, Osagie labored very hard to dismiss. In his press statement, he had touched on one of the issues that had created division and precipitated revulsion against Obaseki within the APC, to wit: the propaganda that some powerful politicians wanted the governor to share public funds to them. His claim that the funds meant for projects that would benefit the masses were being targeted for sharing was merely appealing to the sensibilities of the masses to support the governor and deride the so-called powerful politicians.
But, indeed, there was nothing of such. The problem with Obaseki remains the fact that he is unable to manage post-election success and expectations of party members and leaders. He had also tried in vain to, single-handed, impose candidates on the party in the last general election but was disallowed by Oshiomhole who ensured that the state chapter of the party adopted direct primary election to elect popular candidates instead of indirect primary election that Obaseki had planned to manipulate to foist his candidates, who were largely unpopular, on the party.
The various candidates were thus elected by party members and not by selected delegates. That was the issue. The governor had wanted to build his political structure ahead of his 2020 re-election bid, but had failed in his gambit. Fearing that he did not have the number to produce his preferred candidate as Speaker of the State Legislature, he had also resorted to self-help by deploying the gangsterish method of inaugurating the House at night in foisting the will of nine members on fifteen members that were denied the information about the inauguration of the Assembly.
It is only folly that would make anyone to dismiss these as non-issues. Jokers would further amplify that foolishness. If the exertion was to diminish the magnitude of the near consensus that the governor should issue a fresh proclamation to properly convene and inaugurate the House, Osagie and his boss, on whose behalf he communicates, have failed abysmally woefully.
It is writ-large that the APC, the Presidency and the party-dominated National Assembly are against the travesty that took place in Edo Assembly on June 17, 2019 and to cure the mischief, the governor had been variously advised to do the right thing by issuing a fresh proclamation.
Just last week, specifically on August 23, the controversial Speaker, Frank Okiye, withdrew his suit challenging the decision of the National Assembly to take over the functions of the State Assembly in the circumstance of the festering impasse. His counsel gave the court no reason for the decision. Could this be a softening of stance towards reconciliation?
This is the kind of developments that people want to see, not the "awada kerikeri" (drama extravaganza) that Obaseki displayed by his "surprise" visit to Oshiomhole at Iyamho on Sallah Day. Seriously, I never knew Obaseki could be so dramatic. I have always thought he studied Classics and had Greco-Roman philosophy under his belt. The Iyamho display was more of an appeal to political illogicality.
