The truth is I didn’t like the guy.
He was a bully with a big mouth. The kind of guy that hung out with the jocks and the cool kids—wanting to be one, but wasn’t. Looking back, I can see that he was insecure and like everyone else in junior high, trying to find a way to fit in. His way to was to put down those he perceived as lesser than himself. His name was Miller, I don’t recall his first name. In junior high everyone was called by their last name.
I was Neighbors, and for some I was also called “Farmer.” It wasn’t a compliment. I acquired the name because of my shoes. My parents didn’t care about fashion or the latest styles in 1968. My clothes were practical, not stylish and were bought at K-mart. We lived on a farm and the shoes they bought me also doubled as work boots. Perfect for the farm, not so perfect for school. One day one of the cool kids noticed my shoes and called me Farmer. It stuck.
I was quiet, definitely not a jock, didn’t have many friends—I was not one of the “cool kids.” If Miller was looking for a way to prove himself a tough guy, then I was perfect prey.
The lunch routine in junior high was to gather in the gym and then, at regular intervals, we would line up single file to go to the cafeteria when it was our turn to eat. I took my place in line on this day, as I had on so many other days. Miller would often “take cuts” as we called it—jumping into line in front of others to go first and/or to be near the other “cool kids.” He had taken cuts in front of me before and it angered me, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I knew that simply tattling would not accomplish anything and only make things worse.
I hated being bullied. I played by the rules. Growing up with two older brothers, I quickly learned my place when it came to getting along with others. I was not the assertive one. We were taught that fighting was wrong. My brothers would tell you that I was quick to yell for mom and dad to come to my rescue when we had scraps at home. But I also recall some fatherly advice my dad had given me about fighting. “Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself. If people know you you’ll stand up for yourself, they won’t bother you anymore.” My dad was a short man, and somehow I got the feeling he had personally applied that wisdom somewhere in his history.
So Miller cut in front of me. I don’t know what made this day different from all the other times he had taken cuts, but I snapped. I wasn’t having it today. I yelled “No cuts!” and shoved him hard out of line. Miller was momentarily stunned; he wasn’t expecting this. He spun around and charged at me.
Now, one thing you need to understand is that while I was not a jock, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t have physical ability. I had never had a real fight before. But I had had countless “fights” in my make believe world. I was a fan of old action movies. I had pretend fights galore, emulating fights I had seen in countless movies. And I don’t know where they came from, but we had old boxing gloves in our house. While I had never taken a lesson, I had watched Mohammad Ali on TV. I had had numerous boxing matches with my brothers and cousins in the basement of our house (we almost always pulled our punches—almost always). I had the physique of a toothpick, which meant I was not very strong, but I could move pretty fast and was a small target.
When Miller charged me I immediately adopted a boxer stance and began to dance around just like the boxers I had seen on TV. All of the sudden I was Muhammad Ali. I was “floating like a butterfly.” I quickly dodged his charge and then went on the attack, jabbing with my fists. The word “fight” was chanted from my fellow students as they backed up forming a ring and giving us space. I recall a few snickers at my fighting style. This was not what was typical of a school fight, which usually resembled more a wrestling match than a boxing match.
I peppered Miller with several blows. Mostly to the head. I was pumped on pure adrenaline. He was hardly fighting back and mostly trying to cover his head to protect himself. Then from out of nowhere he mustered a wild punch. It connected. Right square in my mouth. Okay a point for Miller. I backed away stunned for a moment and then started another advance.
What? I hadn’t realized it.
One of my front teeth was knocked clean out of my mouth and was lying on the floor at my feet.
Suddenly the fight stopped. A missing tooth and the blood dripping from my mouth brought everything to a momentary halt. Then adults were on the scene. Somebody picked up my tooth off the floor and Miller and I were being whisked down to the principal’s office.
I couldn’t talk, I had a hanky in my mouth and I was bleeding profusely.
When we got to the office. Miller told his side of the story, while I sucked on a handkerchief and waited for my dad to come and pick me up. Miller’s story was the official story of the incident. I tripped and fell into the bleachers and knocked out a tooth.
I was taken immediately to the dentist, whole tooth in hand. They attempted to implant the tooth back into my mouth. I took a few weeks before we realized the tooth didn’t survive. I would live most of the rest of my life with a “flipper,” a false tooth on a partial denture in the roof of my mouth. A false tooth as a permanent reminder of this infamous day.
I’d like to say that I won the fight. I hit Miller numerous times and gave him a slight black eye. He only hit me once…but what a hit. Miller and I would see each other again from time to time, but we kept our distance from each other. He did the most damage in the fight. I’m sure he thinks he won.
My Dad was right, however. Throughout the rest of my junior high and high school years the bullies never bothered me again.
Miller’s lie stuck. If there is one thing that bothers me most about this story, it is that I never corrected the lie. Oh, the students that witnessed the fight know what really happened. But for some reason I kept my mouth shut. I had to when the lie was being told. I couldn’t talk and was just a little in shock. By the time I could tell my version of the story, my parents and the principal had all accepted the other version. I tripped, fell into the bleachers and knocked out my tooth. I perpetrated the lie to those who knew my parents because it was easier than telling the truth, or so I thought. My parents went to their graves not knowing the truth of what happened, and I regret that.
And the ironic thing is that I actually prefer the true version of the story. Me standing up for myself. And I did offer up a great defense…except for that one lucky punch. I think my dad would have been proud.
A little late perhaps, but the truth must be told, and I feel better for telling, even if a bit late!

Dr Jekyll is a slighty too heavy commuter who is bored with riding to work every day, with his slightly too fat tyres and heavy steel frame. So one night he got naked, threw off his mudguards and tried on a couple of panniers…..
Once he’s wearing 10-25kg of panniers plus water, food and spare parts, and gets his eyes on a bad road or track he comes to life. A beast is awoken, a beast that just wants to move faster and further without a care in the world. Now that’s the travel companion I want to travel 25,000km through Africa with.
Frame: Reynolds 725 steel, with EBB for Rohloff and S+S for easy transport.
Tires: 26×2″ Schwalbe Marathon supreme for onroad, Marathon XR /Extreme for offroad.
Saddle: Brooks Flyer of course (needs a liter of sweat to brake it in, but after that its like a pair of old shoes).
Handlebars: Nitto dream bar, modified with “M-gineering splitendz” to allow a Rohloff grip shifter on drop bars.
Headset: Stronglight, good old fashion roller bearings instead of expensive well marketed crap.
Transmission: Rohloff speedhub (EX), blackspire chain ring, 40×17 for Africa. Shimano LX/XT chain one of the few things Shimano is good at.
Pedals: Wellgo platform pedals (means I can use my hiking boots/sandals on tour).
Brakes: Shimano LX V-brakes, Diacompe 287V & pauls crosstops.
Pump: Zefal hpx ( a full size pump, for the real work, no messing around with a little crappy pump that takes all day).
Kickstand: Esge. A heavy extra, but makes life a lot easier.
Thanks for taking the trouble to come over the mountain to spend time here.
Safe travels and enjoy the rest of the continent.
How did you solve the issue of the Rohloff with drop bars?
My frame builder solved it with his “M-gineering splitendz” which is basically chopping a set of drop bars in half then reinforcing them with bushes and clamps. Which works quite well actually.
Another Q: Is that a secondary rear brake?

Background Most commonly caused by atheroma, but also heart and carotid emboli, severely raised IOP, arteritis, or rarely vasospasm (retinal migraine).
Symptoms Sudden, painless, unilateral, often severe visual loss.
Signs Acute changes include retinal opacification, whitening, and oedema; cherry-red spot at the macula; RAPD; intra-arteriolar blood column segmentation (box-carring); possible cilioretinal artery sparing. An example is shown on.
History and examination Ask about transient ischaemic attacks, cerebrovascular accidents, symptoms of giant cell arteritis, or amaurosis fugax (retinal emboli causing transient uniocular visual obscuration lasting a few minutes). Auscultate the carotids for bruits using the stethoscope bell, check heart sounds for a valvular murmur, and radial pulse for atrial fibrillation.
Look for intra-arteriolar calcific, cholesterol, or fibrinoplatelet emboli.
Also consider giant cell arteritis, intraocular gentamicin toxicity, and acute ophthalmic artery occlusion.
Investigations Arrange BP; urgent ESR and CRP; blood sugar; FBC; lipids; ANA, rheumatoid factor, serum protein and haemoglobin electrophoresis; thrombophilia screen if suggested by history; carotid artery Doppler; fluorescein angiogram and cardiac examination for embolic source. Investigations other than basic blood tests may be best undertaken by a physician.
■ Firm ocular massage through closed eyelids for 15 minutes.
■ Stat crushed acetazolamide 500 mg p.o., Gutte. iopidine, and Gutte. beta blocker.
■ Offer anterior chamber paracentesis but explain that results are variable. If performed, prescribe G. chloramphenicol q.d.s. one week.
Follow–up Review initially in 2–4 weeks. Examine for iris neovascularization. Perform or review investigations and liaise with relevant clinicians. Advise immediate ophthalmic review if visual obscuration occurs in either eye. Local policies for carotid endarterectomy vary and depend on the degree of carotid occlusion, so discuss with a vascular surgeon.
Symptoms Unilateral, painless, sudden, visual field loss.
Signs Retinal swelling similar to central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO, previous page), except for branch distribution. Emboli may be present.
■ Multiple episodes: consider systemic disease and urgent medical review.
History, examination, investigations See CRAO, above. Cilioretinal occlusion may occur in the presence of central retinal vein occlusion and is commonly missed. Exclude giant cell arteritis.
Treatment No therapy is of proven value.
Follow–up Initiate medical follow-up as indicated by the investigations. Evaluate for recurrences or new disease in 3–6 months. About 80% of symptomatic cases achieve VA of 6/12 or better.

What Is a French Drain and How Does It Work?
You dread that first clap of thunder because you know in a few hours your basement will be a soggy mess.
Or maybe it isn’t your basement, but your front yard that’s a soggy situation. It’s frustrating and can turn into a potential nightmare for homeowners and businesses.
You have a few options, but one way to get rid of the drainage problem is installing a French Drain system. What is a French Drain? If you aren’t sure what that is or if it’s the right decision, let’s look at a few things you should consider.
A French Drain is a pipe that collects and directs water. A wide, perforated pipe placed in the ground collects excess water and drains it away from the affected area. The pipe is covered with gravel or rock so that it’s not visible, and it’s angled downward to make sure drainage is smooth.
Open ditches and stormwater drains manage rain-flow and excess water near roads, but you don’t want an open ditch near your building or house. A French Drain system is less open, but still allows water to drain to an area where it can cause less damage. You can also use a French Drain near a retaining wall to prevent groundswell pressure from upheaving it during periods of intense rain.
Dig a trench about two feet wide in your needed area and as much as six feet deep depending on the location (basement, retaining wall, or other areas, for example). Slope the pipe down in the direction you want the water to travel, such as away from the house.
Cover the pipe with gravel, not sand or soil. Sand or dirt can clog the pipe over time and cause problems. Standard procedure now is to lay filter fabric above the gravel to prevent soil from re -settling into the gravel over time. Back fill the foundation so that the ground is its original height.
What Are The Types Of French Drains?
Not all French Drains look the same. Depending on your needs, you have a few options.
Traditional French Drains, sometimes called Curtain Drains, follow the directions above. They use gravel and perforated pipe to collect water and it’s covered in earth and vegetation. They’re the least obstructive.
Collector and Interceptor drains direct groundwater and surface run-off towards the same drain. It quickly handles surface water to prevent flooding or ground upheaval, but should have a filter because of the shifting earth and debris. Otherwise, you have problems with the pipe further down the line.
If your household runs on a septic system, a dispersal drain handles the wastewater. There’s also a filter drain which filters and directs just groundwater. A fin drain is a smaller, cheaper version of a traditional French Drain with a vertical composite above.
Can I Install A French Drain Myself?
Installing a French Drain isn’t as intuitive as you may think. You have to calculate the dispersal carefully because you want to drain water away from your house or yard quickly but also keep the water level in the pipe itself low.
Many people lay the perforation holes in the wrong place. You want them facing downwards at all times to keep that water level low. DIYers also typically choose the wrong type of drainage stone which causes clogs and other issues down the line. If the clog is located further down the pipe, it can be expensive to fix.
DIYers also frequently use the wrong type of piping. Some pipes, such as corrugated plastic pipes, are fine in the short term, but have the wrong kind of perforation. You guessed it. It causes issues down the road.
The final issue with DIYing such a massive project is forgetting to check on other piping already running through the ground. Nicking a gas line or sewage pipe while you’re burying a French Drain can cost you a chunk of change to fix and ruin the goodwill of your neighbors.
Invest in proper installation now and save yourself a lot of repair and costly mistakes. Lawn and Landcare has the knowledge and expertise to help with your drainage issues so you’ll worry less about heavy Texas rainwater water casuing ugly surprises down the road.

City finances was the main topic of discussion at Monday's Helena-West Helena City Council Session as Mayor Arnell Willis presented his 2014 budget following two weeks of budget workshops.
City finances was the main topic of discussion at Monday's Helena-West Helena City Council Session as Mayor Arnell Willis presented his 2014 budget following two weeks of budget workshops. The 2014 budget projects a total revenue of $9,832,091 compared to $9,788,198 in the 2013 budget. The projected expenses amount to $9,481,395 compared to 2013's $9,609,846. Though the budget was officially presented to the city council, adjustments will be made and the final budget will be presented by January 31. In his monthly treasurer's report, Patrick Roberson told the council that the city's income was $712,000 over the past month and expenses totaled to $776,000. Among the reoccurring expenses to the city includes maintenance on an aging fleet of city vehicles. Of the $47,000 spent last month in repairs, $12,000 repaired sanitation vehicles. Roberson also noted that the city owed as much as $19,000 in October in auto parts, including $9,173 in parts to maintain and repair police cars and $10,617 to maintain and repair sanitation vehicles. Council member Wanda Crockett asked Police Chief Uless Wallace about the large repair bill on his fleet of police cars. "Just this month we had to buy two transmissions [and] I have a car that has exceeded 200,000 miles,” said Wallace. Another topic discussed included the amending of a previous resolution giving a deferred pay incentive for part-time city employees. The existing resolution gives incentive pay to all city employees that have worked with the city at least six months. The amendment passed Monday night pushed the time limit to three months to include seven employees previously excluded. Regarding the much-needed repairs on the Kentucky Street bridge, councilman John Huff noted, "Those people are suffering over there and we need to get this bridge fixed...if someone gets sick over there, the ambulance will have to detour, someone's house could catch on fire and the fire department will have to detour. Let's get the bridge fixed." Crockett followed up by notifying the council that the barricades had been removed from the bridge site and citizens are using the unsafe bridge now. Fire Chief Reginald Wilson approached the city council regarding the issue of adding a front line pumper to the fire department's fleet. He noted that the price tag is $1.1 million of which will be paid through a FEMA grant, including a $146,000 match from someone in the community. The council approved the purchase and the disposal of an out-of-commission fire truck. The next City Council meeting will be December 17 at 6 p.m.

BAHAWALPUR: The district has taken the lead in Punjab with the establishment of first ‘police e-Khidmat centre’ at a cost of around Rs1 million to provide 13 facilities to the public under one roof.
The centre has been opened on the instructions of IGP Arif Nawaz to provide maximum facilities to people.
Regional Police Officer Riffat Mukhtar Raja inaugurated the facility on Friday and hailed the IGP’s move to establish it.
Briefing the media men, DPO Mustansar Feroze said the 13 attested copies including FIR, general police verification, vehicle clearance certificate, renewal of driving licence, international driving permit, tenants’ entries, domestic servant’s entry, legal guidance for violence against women, lost documents, character certificate and driving learner’s licence to the applicants would be provided free of cost.
The step, he said, would eliminate the traditional police and VVIP cultures by providing hassle-free service to the public. He said the visitors would be facilitated through a token system and six counters (two of these for women) would operate and people don’t need to go to any police station.
He said in case of delay in providing the desired documents, the attested copies would be dispatched to the applicant at his or her residential address through a courier service. The centre would remain open daily (except Sunday) from morning until night without any break.
The DPO said the project the software of which had been provided by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) would be extended to the tehsil headquarters level in the second phase.

In advance of the launch of a new report about the funding of public service media content for children, Professor Jeanette Steemers from the University of Westminster provides a view on the recent proposals for the future of children’s TV content as set out in the Government White Paper on the BBC. The report, co-authored by Steemers and Feryal Awan, will be launched at an event held in association with the Children’s Media Foundation and the Voice of the Listener and Viewer at the University of Westminster on 31 May 2016.
In a barely noticed section, the Government White Paper on the BBC includes plans to pilot a public service content fund for public service genres that are in decline. One of those genres is children’s programming, which has been under strain ever since the removal of output quotas for commercial Public Service Broadcasters (PSBs) (mainly ITV) in 2003, followed by a ban three years later on advertising for junk food and fizzy drinks on children’s TV. This has left the BBC as virtually the only commissioner of UK children’s programming. The Government’s idea behind the three-year pilot is that it might help ‘deliver quality and pluralistic public service content, using competitive forces to ensure the highest quality for the best value for money’ (p. 71).
To be fair, we don’t know the detail yet because there will now be a public consultation. But the £20m a year that the fund is set to receive is unlikely to go very far if it’s shared with arts, educational and religious programming, and if it also has to serve Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) audiences and audiences in the nations and regions.
Financed from leftover funding for digital rollout and local TV from the 2010 licence fee settlement, the Government also makes it very clear that the licence fee is not for the BBC’s sole use, and that a small proportion of it ‘may be available to organisations other than the BBC’ (p. 71). This suggests that the issue of ‘top-slicing’ is unlikely to disappear when the pilot period ends, and that politicians are unlikely to resist the temptation to salami slice in future.
How will children’s programming benefit from the fund?
Children are underserved with public service content, particularly online, so better resourcing for content made and distributed by a range of producers across a variety of devices and platforms is welcome. We don’t know yet what type of organisations will be allowed to apply to the fund, and although the White Paper notes that content will need be free-at-the-point-of-use, it is not clear what is meant by the requirement that content would need to be shown on a platform with an ‘appropriate reach’. This suggests that this content might not be available to everyone, everywhere.
The White Paper does note that New Zealand and Ireland operate similar funds, so it’s worth checking how these schemes work for children’s content. In other countries content funds are financed from direct taxation (New Zealand, Australia), levies on commercial players (France, Canada) and of course from the licence fee (Ireland, Denmark).
In Ireland, public service broadcaster RTE has arguably been a key beneficiary of children’s programming subsidised by contestable funding, allowing it to commission 3-4 Irish animation series a year in the expectation of further funding down the line. Between June 2015 and January 2016, eight out ten children’s programming awards from the Sound and Vision III scheme went to children’s content commissioned by children’s channel, RTEJr. The sums are small (often less than 10 percent of budgets for animation) and only for broadcast content, but represent the start of a well-worn route for Irish animation producers which includes further subsidies from the Irish Film Board, Creative Europe, Northern Ireland Screen and generous Irish tax breaks.
In New Zealand, the government broadcasting funding agency, New Zealand On Air, funds most New Zealand children’s content through a contestable fund. In this small market, demand and capacity are two issues that make the funding of children’s drama and animation challenging. In 2014/2015, 81 percent of funded hours were attributable to three popular broadcast magazine shows, which accounted for 55 percent of allocated funding.
In Denmark, the Public Service Puljen fund supported four TV productions between 2011 and 2013, but the fund has struggled to generate interest from commercial broadcasters. In all three countries the availability of funding does not really solve the lack of demand from commercial broadcasters.
In France (the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée) and Canada (the Canada Media Fund), production funds work better but only because they come as part of a suite of measures. This includes redistributing industry levies to support content funds, combined with output and production quotas, which oblige broadcasters to take home-grown children’s content. In Canada, the system is looking fragile because of cuts in output quotas and concern about declining cable and satellite revenues that support the Canada Media Fund. In France, the system largely benefits animation specifically, rather than more diverse content.
What would work for UK children’s content?
So if you were to set up a children’s fund in the UK from scratch what might work, and how could you learn from the experience of others, assuming that your main objective (based on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s BBC Charter Review Public Consultation) was to introduce ‘greater diversity of providers and greater plurality in public services provision’?
First, £20m a year is unlikely to fund much, especially if it is shared with other genres and audiences, so all content will need co-funding.
Second, the funds that work best in the interests of children tend to be those that concentrate solely on children’s content. These include the independent Shaw Rocket Fund in Canada and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation. These are organisations that can call on child development and editorial expertise, which ensures that children’s media interests are represented rather than vested industry interests.
Third, a fund alone is not enough. There need to be other measures that stimulate demand. In France and Canada this has been done through output and investment quotas that mean that content has a home to go to. Without quotas, there is evidence that commercial players are reluctant to invest in local children’s content (see J. Steemers and F. Awan, Policy Solutions and International Perspectives on the Funding of Public Service Media Content for Children, 2016).
Fourth, we know that children still watch a great deal of ‘television’ on a range of devices and platforms. Yet we know very little about how much time children spend consuming PSB services online and offline. A pilot offers the chance to be more experimental and support different types of public service content for children rather than just broadcast content. But it’s important that this is researched and evaluated to inform future policy.
Fifth, if the White Paper is serious about encouraging partnerships with the BBC, then this could be the time to test the extent to which the BBC’s proposed single online platform for children, iPlay, can play a role as an online home for all publicly funded children’s content. This could be the place to test the crossover between TV, games and digital content in a trusted advertising free space. Last September the BBC indicated in its British, Bold, Creative paper that it was willing to offer access to content from other broadcasters and ‘carefully chosen partners’. The fund is not large enough to establish an independent online platform, so it will have to forge relationships with existing online platforms or aggregators. There also needs to be much more thought about the mechanisms through which children can navigate and discover content. There is a danger that children won’t find publicly funded content online without interventions that ensure that public service content is easy to find across all platforms and online portals.
Finally the biggest challenge is sustainable funding, and there is a danger that the pilot will fizzle out before the first children’s project has even secured funding from other sources. The fund could be sustained by top-slicing the licence fee but stakeholders like PACT, the Voice of the Listener and Viewer and the Children’s Media Foundation have indicated that this is unwise if it cuts the BBC’s ability to support local content.
However, as we go into consultation mode, the European Commission has thrown in an interesting variation on how a fund might be financed in future. Proposals for a revised Audio-Visual Media Services Directive impose a 20 percent European quota on the catalogues of subscription video on-demand services like Netflix. More interesting still is the proposal to allow individual countries the right to impose investment quotas on subscription on demand services. This is almost certainly what France will do in order to support French production in line with past practice, but would a UK government follow their lead? Or will it bide its time and nip in through the back door to make the funding more permanent through just a little bit more licence fee money?

The MC Zenitar-МЕ1 50 mm f/ 1.7 (Russian: "Зенитар") is a normal lens with multicoating for SLR cameras with the M42 screw mount.
It was produced by the KMZ. It was a kit lens for the Zenit-18 (ЗЕНИТ-18) camera and was offered as a kit lens for one of the variants of the Zenit-20 (ЗЕНИТ-20).
The feedback was realized - aperture settings input into the camera electronic control unit (hence the E index for "electronic").
The automated aperture drive of the MC Zenitar МЕ1 50 mm f/ 1.7 can be switched off, i.e. manual aperture control with the ring is possible.
The optical scheme was borrowed from the Leica Leitz's Summicron 50.
The lens has very good qualitative optical characteristics due to the use of high-quality glass (according to some sources, pure crystal was applied).
The distinctive feature of the lens is its 2-balde electronic diaphragm forming square aperture when stopping down.
Correspondingly, the image generated by the MC Zenitar-МЕ1 50 mm f/ 1.7 has a specific bokeh. Circles of confusion at f/1.7 are perfectly round; while stopping down, they take the form of squares with rounded corners of different degrees, and from f/8 onwards they take the form of a virtually perfect square.
The aperture is changed stepwise - from 1.7 to 16. There are 14 steps.
Such construction of the aperture enabled to make the lens resolution higher on one hand, and make the production cheaper on the other.
The version of the lens - the Zenitar M 50 1.7 with 6 aperture blades was also produced.
The lens handles well back and side light, nevertheless, the hood is recommended.
The lens is sharp and contrasting from f/1.7 onwards. The image is rather flexible.

In March, vegan food blogger The Stingy Vegan uploaded a recipe and a video on Facebook for a Banana Peel Vegan Pulled Pork Sandwich.
It seemed innocuous enough — just another tasty-looking vegan recipe — but the internet swiftly reacted.
We’ll get to Twitter’s thoughts in a minute.
First of all, how does it work? We reached out to Melissa from The Stingy Vegan and discovered that the process only takes a couple of steps. First, take the banana out of the peel and scrape the sides of the peel to get all of the soft stuff off.
From there, you’ll toss the peels in a blend of spices or sauce of your choice.
Next, use a fork (or knife) to turn the peels into shreds.
Now before you start asking why this recipe would use fruit in the first place, please note that jackfruit is a hugely popular meat replacement for BBQ and “pulled pork” style sandwiches.
And it turns out, lots of people around the world have been using banana peels to cook for years, for many reasons including eating on a budget and living a low or no waste lifestyle.
I first heard some talk about it in a vegan Facebook group. A few people had tried a banana peel pulled pork recipe by a YouTube user called Chef Jana. There was also some mention of the fact it’s not a new idea. It turns out that vegetarians in Venezuela have been using plantain peels to make a similar pulled meat dish called carne mechada for years (and they’ve been keeping it a secret from us this whole time!) So I decided to try it out.
And some people have actually made the recipe and reported back that it tastes good!
blog I try to offer economical vegan recipes with cheap supermarket staples and there’s nothing cheaper than making a meal out of something you’d normally throw away. Understandably, people are flipping out. A lot of people can’t get over the ick factor and I get it, I was skeptical too.
Vegans, what will they think of next?
Would you ever eat banana peels? Let us know in the comments!

LoBok is a Chinese radish that forms large oval roots and is interchangeable in recipes that calls for Daikon radish. The LoBok has a flesh that is firm and crisp and its flavours range from sweet and mild to pungent. LoBok is also known as White Radish, and in Japan as Daikon or Daikon radish. A popular Asian veggie does not look like the small, round red radishes that we find in tossed green salads. Instead, Chinese white radish, or the “Raphanus sativus”, which is its scientific name, looks like a large white carrot. In Japan, chefs rely on LoBok or daikon radishes to add a bite and flavour to relishes and salads. In China it is used more in cooking. Chinese cooks add LoBok to soups, stir-fries and “red-cooked dishes”, where the food is slowly simmered in soy sauce. Turnip Cake made with LoBok or the Chinese white radish is a popular Chinese New Year dish. LoBok or daikon was traditionally pickled in the late fall to preserve vegetables for the winter. One of the most popular varieties of pickled LoBok is called “takuan” in Japanese and “danmuji” in Korean. Legend has it that a Buddhist monk called Takuan Soho used this radish to make the first pickle.
LoBok is very low in calories. Just a 3 ounce serving contains only 18 calories and provides a good source of vitamin C which is important to healthy teeth and gums. LoBok is also a good source of betacarotene and calcium. Calcium is an important mineral for healthy bones and connective tissue. This interesting radish also contains active enzymes that helps with the digestion of starchy foods.
Select LoBok that that feels heavy and is firm to touch. Look for LoBok that is free of soft spots or mold spots. LoBok will keep well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks if they are placed in a sealed plastic bag so they can maintain a high humidity level.
To prepare LoBok, wash and peel it as you would carrots. Then, slice, chop or grate this radish as needed for the recipe you are using. Both LoBok and Daikon can be used raw and also stand up to long cooking time. When used in cooked dishes it is best to prepare this vegetable by sprinkling with salt and letting it stand for 20 minutes, rinse the vegetable well before adding it to the recipe. This process will keep the LoBok crisp when cooking. LoBok can be used raw in salads or side dishes. It can be pickled, used in stir-fry dishes, braised and boiled. This vegetable is also popular used in soups and stews.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to sign an executive order that requires city contractors and subcontractors to pay employees a $13-an-hour minimum wage.
Emanuel's office says he'll sign the order Wednesday morning. Officials say it will apply to city contracts advertised after Oct. 1 and will affect about 1,000 contracted employees.
Employees would include landscapers, maintenance workers, security officers and custodial workers.
Emanuel and other Democrats are making a big election-year push to raise the minimum wage.
Illinois' minimum wage is $8.25 per hour. Emanuel has introduced an ordinance that would gradually increase it to $13 in Chicago.
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is pushing to raise Illinois' rate to $10 per hour. President Barack Obama signed an executive order earlier this year to raise the wage for federal contractors.

***Use the code “Darwin” if when you make a purchase with ROAM and get 20% off!
For the last several months Darwin and I have switched over from traditional Gold and Silver wedding bands to silicone as the traditional metals were no longer suiting our lifestyle. We originally started wearing a more well-known brand of ring, however we were then contacted by ROAM, Products Inspired By Simplicity and were intrigued. Are all silicone rings created equal? From my experience it depends on your lifestyle.
Most of the following review are from both myself and Darwin’s personal experiences. Please note we are not being paid by any companies for this review.
When first ordering our silicone rings, I was looking for a simple band and was overwhelmed by the many versions of a silicone ring you could pick from. ROAM however stays true to their mission statement of simplicity selling only plain silicone bands. The color options you have to pick from are also for the most part kept simple. Other brands are the market would be great for the fashionable silicone ring wearer as you have options to order many colors and designs and to even further customize them. ROAM I found is for the functional and minimalist ring wearer; you get a ring, put it on and forget it’s there. Simple.
ROAM advertises rings as hypoallergenic and we have not been able to prove it otherwise. Both the men’s and women’s versions are 1.5mm thick and 6mm tall. For other companies this will vary depending on what design you choose. Most companies do list dimensions, strength, elongation, and other qualities for each specific ring type and or style. When compared to other brand’s classic versions of rings, most are found to be wider then ROAM’s. I prefer a wider band then what ROAM offers however this is more of a personal preference.
I previously found my skin underneath other silicone bands would be at times moist having trapped in sweat and other moisture. I have not experienced this to the same extent with my ROAM ring. Moisture no matter what the design is going to build up under a silicone ring, however I again experienced this less with ROAM.
The Elongation or stretchiness of the ROAM rings have proven to be minor in the last month and a half of wear. Both rings have been worn full-time during hiking, bathing, lifting weights, construction work, cycling, yard work, running, other daily work duties, etc. and have shown no wear or tears. Darwin specifically wore his during his last month working at a local bike shop and the ROAM ring held up. It must be noted that Darwin specifically purchased a ring from a larger known company which is supposed to hold up to various chemicals and be temperature tolerant. Within less than a month of purchase, the ring had begun to wear down noticeably and slowly developed a small tear.
When it comes to price ROAM is very affordable with each ring starting out at $12.00. You do have the option to buy a package of two for $20.00 or three for $30.00. These prices are for both the men’s and women’s versions and do not include shipping. When it comes to other companies you will notice that prices vary depending on style of ring. Some companies do offer packages for rings as well however the prices again vary depending on style of ring being purchased.
Some companies offering silicone rings do offer one replacement ring if a ring is damaged, ripped, stretched etc. Some even asking for pictures and information on how the ring was damaged in order to better improve their products. ROAM does not advertise the same.
Overall I feel that ROAM rings are definitely worth a try especially for those active persons who like to keep their jewelry simple. Although there are similar products on the market, ROAM stands alone in their simplicity. They truly seem to be “inspired by simplicity” and do not lose sight of that with any of their products. The durability of their rings also seem to stand up during testing in various activities and environments where similar products have failed.
You can check out their rings for yourself via ROAM’s website by clicking HERE!

Vortex beams can be generated by a reflective liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) which added in the optical path. The generated vortex beam can be used as object light or reference light in out-of-plane displacement measurement. The out-of-plane displacement is simulated and analyzed before and after the object deformation. By phase shifting method and unwrapping, the distribution of phase difference is obtained. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method for the out-of-plane displacement measurements.

Interior designers have some good ideas that will make your home a much more valuable structure, and you can use all of the tips listed below to see what can be done to your home to make it better. You probably have considered upgrading the house or making some significant changes, but you have to be sure that you have taken a look at the plans to see which one you can do yourself and which one you should hire people to do.
A lot of the homes that you see in a place like https://www.iwillbuyhouse.com/ have been upgraded to a new kitchen just before the sale. The kitchen might have been improved over time because that makes the space more valuable, and a beautiful kitchen makes the house a more excellent place to live. You can invest in the kitchen today, and the price of the home will jump when you put it online to sell. This is also helpful if you expand the kitchen, add appliances, and add storage. You should do more than change the countertops.
You need to have more excellent bathrooms in the house because they make a pretty good impression on anyone who is looking at the home. You need to be sure that you have changed the flooring, replaced the fixtures, and altered the cabinetry. You want the bathroom to be a nice place to be even if it is a half bathroom, and you also need to be sure that you have found a bathroom style that would be better for you every day.
You could finish the basement to make the house a more beautiful place to be, and you have to consider that finishing the basement does not mean you turned it into an apartment. You could do a big project in the basement, but you do not have to. This also means that you can get the basement to match your style because that will make it easier for you to use and enjoy the space when you go down there.
You can finish the garage at any time, and you will find that completing the garage makes the house a more relaxed place to live just because you have more storage and the room looks a little more organized. You might not have thought of the garage, but it helps.
Going to hardwood floors can make a house look and feel much bigger. You will find that you can get any hardwood put down fairly quickly, and you will save money on the project because this could be cheaper than carpet. This also allows you the space that you need to move furniture around so that you can make the house look much more presentable especially when you want to sell.
Someone who is trying to make the best possible choices for their home needs to make all the upgrades above, so the value of the house will jump.

Ever get those mornings where you wake up and just feel there's a dark cloud hanging above your head? Well it started off that way. Slowly things got brighter, starting with a great view on the way to work. Everything started to feel better, things were going the right way, more friendly smiles etc. On days like these, I'm am really thankful.

Perhaps I should have taken East European studies in College, instead of Chinese studies. At least if I had learned Polish, I could have gotten a lot more out of this great monograph that arrived in my mail.
I have not previously heard of this series from Poland, but a Google search turned up a Polskie Skrzydla No. 1, which focused on the SPAd 61 C1, 51 C1 and WIbault 70 C1.
Polskie Skrzydla No. 2 focus on the aircraft flown by Polish aviators in France as part of the French Air Force (FAF) during the early part of World War II.
After the fall of Poland, many Polish aviators escaped via Hungary and Rumania to get to the West to continue the fight against Nazi Germany. A great many of them made it to France. In February, 1940 an accord was signed that allowed for the potential re-creation of the Polish Air Force (PAF) within the FAF.
I believe it was in March 1940 that Polish fighter pilots were assigned to sections within FAF fighter units – Groupe de Chasse (GC). The primary fighter aircraft allocated to the Polish pilots were the Morane MS 406, the Caudron CR714 and the Bloch MB151/152.
Even if one cannot read one word of Polish, this monograph is a pure visual pleasure and a great amount of information can be gleaned from the pictures, profiles and charts.
Starting with the pictures, and all things considered, there are a surprising number of good photographs of in service aircraft of all three types. Of course, there are also a good number of pictures of derelict and wrecked aircraft, obviously taken by German soldiers. Also, given the actual number of Caudron aircraft that were put in service, there are ample photographs of this aircraft.
While a number of publications have well done profiles, Polish Wings seems to have taken them to a new level. The pictures and the profiles are well integrated. For each profile there is an accompanying picture of the actual aircraft.
The profiles themselves are very well done. The illustrator has attempted to show the camouflage pattern of the specific aircraft pictured. A number of the profiles show multiple-views of the aircraft. That profile of the Bloch MB 152 in RAF markings really peaked my curiosity.
The variety of camouflage patterns is also well shown for the three different aircraft types covered in the monograph. Unlike Luftwaffe and RAF camouflage, no two patterns appear to be identical.
Even though the charts are not in English, one can make out serial numbers of aircraft, the units in which they were used and the pilots that flew them.
There is also a brief discussion, in Polish only, of the painting of French aircraft in the 1940 campaign. The French color names are given along with the FS approximation.
Finally, there is a 1/72 scale line drawing for each of the three aircraft.
The bottom line on this monograph is that, even if you do not read a word of Polish, this is a must have if you have any interest at all in French aircraft or the Polish Air Force.
With the help of this online Polish-English / English-Polish dictionary http://www.dict.pl/plen, perhaps one can get even more from this monograph.

Our purpose in providing child-centered group play therapy was to address participants’ emotional or behavior problems such as low self-esteem, depression, aggression, or defiance that were not remedied by classroom guidance lessons, group activities, or behavior management plans. Our intervention endeavored to honor the African worldview and facilitate self-confidence. This intervention was applied to 22 African American boys ages 5 to 10 years attending elementary school in a major southeastern city. Participants were referred for play therapy by their parents or by teachers who had concerns about the boys’ behavior and emotional wellbeing.
Parental permission for participation was obtained by explaining the project to childrens’ parents and asking them to sign a consent form. To maintain confidentiality, pseudonyms are used in the following descriptions.
Because Sweeney and Homeyer (1999) indicated that group play therapy can consist of two members, participants in our sessions were placed in groups of two based on (a) sibling relationships, (b) friendships, or (c) convenience. Each group received from 9 to 11 child-centered group play therapy sessions from a registered play therapist supervisor (the first author, identified as "counselor" in the session dialogues that follow) who had completed three play therapy graduate courses and over 2,000 hours of play therapy experience.
Child-centered group play therapy sessions, as defined above, were conducted either once a week or twice a week at the school the boys attended. We implemented the basic child-centered play therapy principles of following the child’s lead; avoiding judgmental statements; creating a safe, accepting atmosphere; reflecting feelings; facilitating decision making; enhancing self-esteem; setting therapeutic limits; and providing therapeutic toys (Landreth, 2002).
paper, crayons, and blunt scissors. In addition, African American dolls were added to enhance diversity.
The general goals of the child-centered group play therapy intervention we implemented were to help participants learn self-control, responsibility, expression of feelings, respect, and acceptance of self and others; to improve behavior, social skills, and self-esteem; and to decrease depression and anxiety (Landreth, 2002; Sweeney & Homeyer, 1999). The more specific goals we had were to honor the African worldview and facilitate self-confidence in African American boys. These goals are consistent with Personal/Social Standard "A" in ASCA’s (2002) National Model, which states, "students will acquire the attitudes, knowledge and interpersonal skills to help them understand and respect self and others" (p. 32).
A brief explanation of the four components of the African worldview as identified by Parham et al. (2000), verbal data exemplifying each component, and methods to facilitate child-centered group play therapy sessions with African American boys in elementary school are given in the following paragraphs.
Emotional vitality. Emotional vitality refers to a sense of aliveness, intensity, and animation that is often manifested in music, dance, art, song, language, and life style (Parham et al., 2000). Because emotions are viewed as positive, feelings of love, joy, and so forth are expressed openly. Toys and the permissive atmosphere of the playroom facilitated children’s rhythm, movement, and celebration (e.g., in their spontaneous dance). The children’s spontaneous bursts of energy, aliveness, and celebration were matched through the counselors’ genuine, empathic reflections of the children’s excitement. For example, an African American boy celebrated in dance and song a recent accomplishment.
Counselor: "You are proud of yourself for graduating! Doing that makes you so happy."
The counselor facilitated emotional vitality by creating a safe, free environment where children were self-directed. This was communicated through statements such as "In here, you can play with all the toys in most of the ways you would like" and "In here, you can decide what to do." In addition, intense expression of feelings was accepted through statements such as "You’re so mad you felt like yelling" and "You’re excited, dancing around!" In this environment, the belief "It’s OK for me to be a lively and expressive African American male" is more likely to be integrated into the selfconcept of these young boys.
Interdependence. Interdependence refers to the concept that people are interconnected and as concerned about the health and welfare of others as they are for themselves (Parham et al., 2000). This African worldview could be reflected by the thought "I am because we are, and we are, therefore I am." Peer social skills of interdependence were evident in group play therapy sessions. In beginning play sessions, children often hoarded toys, were overly dominant or submissive, and experienced conflict. As the counselor reflected each child’s feelings, strategies, and thwarted desires, children became aware of their unsatisfactory relational styles and began to pursue cooperative interactions. As a result, children balanced power among themselves and learned to trust each other for help.
For example, in the second session, Damon, who was usually dominant, grabbed a toy from Saquan, who was usually submissive.
Damon: "Give me that knife."
Saquan: "I was playing with it."
with you, but now you’re playing alone."
By the fourth session, interdependence developed.
Damon: "Let’s get the bad guy. I need the knife."
Damon: "OK. Bring him here."
you decided to play with him. You are working together."
Here, the progression from independence to interdependence is seen. Children began to exercise interdependence and value a "we" identity rather than a "me" identity. The African worldview of interdependence was enhanced by the counselor’s reflection of the impact of one child’s behavior on the other child and also of their cooperative interactions. The procedure of linking (i.e., pointing out that the other child shares the child’s concern) also facilitated interdependence (Gladding, 2003).
Collective survival. Collective survival refers to a tribal concept that is based on sharing and cooperation to the end so that everyone survives or succeeds (Parham et al., 2000). Children’s play revealed the concept that "we are in this to the end." Fighting the bad guy and eating together were common themes that demonstrated the collective survival.
For example, two boys found a way to share the responsibility for the evening meal.
Dixon: "I’m cooking chicken wings and greens."
Jarik: "I’ll go to the store to get some Sprite."
Counselor: "You are both doing your share of the work for dinner."
The counselor’s reflection of content and cooperation reinforced the importance of sharing responsibility and, thus, of collective survival. The collective survival worldview was also demonstrated when participants played a fatherly role of provider and protector. One African American boy fed, kissed, and bathed a baby doll and then said, "This is my baby. Here’s money. I pay child support. See, I love you!" Collective survival was encouraged through the counselor’s trust in children’s self-direction and her reflection of synergy. Allowing children to discover the joy of sharing responsibility rather than directing them to do so affirmed their innate social interest.
Harmonious blending. Harmonious blending refers to the natural rhythm of life, or the belief in "going with the flow" (Parham et al., 2000). Harmonious blending is also the belief that "things will work out in due time." This component was evident when two brothers who had an absent father pretended that the bop bag was a close male friend.
Tyvin: "This is my friend! He’s dying. Call a doctor."
Keshaun: "I’m the doctor. I’ll give him a shot."
Tyvin: "He’s alive. He’s back!"
together to make him come back."
facilitated harmonious blending between siblings by reflecting these dynamics through verbalizations such as "You both seem to know what usually happens" and "Now you are looking for a way to make it different."

Thanks for all the understanding comments and suggestions about my tv dilemma - I'm certainly not out on my own about this. Ah well. I've joined Film Society at a friend's urging, which means that on Mondays at least, I always have the option of a 6.15 movie followed by a later dinner, either at home or cheap and cheerful ethnic (this week it was delicious Vietnamese, $12).
Tonight was good too. A longstanding friend rang today and suggested she come round for dinner. I do like it so much when people call me to suggest doing things. I can't help but worry that I'm being a nuisance when it's always me calling them.
One of the things I've come to realise, though, is that most people tend not to alter their usual behaviour. If you have friends whom you value, but have almost always had to call because they hardly ever call you, that will tend to stay the same no matter what happens - even major events like your partner becoming an invalid, and then dying. They probably won't call to see if you need support, because they're just not in the habit of doing so.
This isn't meant to be a complaint or whine. I'm extremely lucky because I do have enough beloved friends who reach out to me, often with what seems like instinctively good timing, to offer me exactly what I need, when I need it. And I, in turn, feel comfortable contacting them, because I'm confident they won't think I'm a burden.
Then there are the ones who, faced with a major change in your life, do step right up and make a commitment to provide ongoing support. Even if they were not a regular part of our home life before, they quickly became so. Harvey had some splendid male friends who did this for him, and we loved them for it.
But with others I'm finding that I have to recognise they're not going to change, despite the huge change in my circumstances. So I either accept the relationship as it is, without harbouring resentment about it, or decide that I don't want to continue with it. Which isn't difficult - all I need to do is stop calling them.
Hmm, yes it's true what you say. I think a lot of people don't realise what it's like for those who live alone, and how much small gestures matter. The invitation out of the blue, the phone call just to say 'how are you?', the inclusion in a social event - these are deeply appreciated by those who don't live in the daily flow of relationship.
I hear your acceptance, but at the same time I want to add a plea to everyone to be less self-absorbed. Random acts of kindness liven up everyone's lives, both the giver and the receiver.

Spidey reconnects with some old friends.
Marvel Comics has revealed "Venom Inc.", a new six-issue crossover storyline that will unite the publisher's Amazing Spider-Man and Venom comics this December.
Venom Inc. will kick off with a one-shot special called Venom Inc.: Alpha before moving into the pages of Amazing Spider-Man and Venom later in the month and concluding in Venom Inc.: Omega in January. The crossover will be a joint effort between ASM writer Dan Slott and Venom writer Mike Costa. Ryan Stegman (Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows) will draw the ASM issues and the Alpha one-shot, while Gerardo Sandoval will draw the Venom issues.
The crossover will examine the current relationship between Peter Parker and Eddie Brock, with both characters having recently returned to more traditional status quos. Former Venom host Flash Thompson will also play a central role in the story. Marvel has also revealed that Lee Pace (who briefly served as the symbiote's host in the first six issues of the current series) will return to the forefront in Venom Inc. Lee will find a new partner in the Mania symbiote, transforming into a villain called Maniac.
However, the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #793 teases what could be the most significant development in this crossover. Is Peter Parker about to reunite with the Venom symbiote after all these years? Is the iconic black costume making its return?
For more on what to expect from this crossover, check out the "This Week in Marvel" podcast.


text: Here, we report an enhanced throughput method for the diagnosis of human exposure to sulfur mustard. A hydroxyethylthioethyl (HETE) ester-adducted tripeptide, produced by pronase digestion of human serum albumin, was selected as the quantitative exposure biomarker. Cibacron Blue enrichment was developed from an established cartridge method into a 96-well plate format, increasing throughput and ruggedness. This new method decreased sample volume 2.5-fold. Addition of a precipitation and solid-phase extraction concentration step increased the sensitivity of the method. With the conversion to a 96-well plate and optimization of chromatography, the method resulted in a 3-fold decrease in analysis time. Inclusion of a confirmation ion has increased specificity. The method was found to be linear between 0.050 and 50 µM sulfur mustard exposure with a precision for both quality control samples of ≤6.5% relative standard deviation and an accuracy of >96%. The limit of detection (3So) was calculated to be ∼0.0048 µM, an exposure value similar to that of the HETE-albumin adduct method first described by Noort and co-workers (Noort et al., 1999; Noort el al., 2004) which used protein precipitation to isolate albumin. A convenience set of 124 plasma samples from healthy unexposed individuals was analyzed using this method to assess background levels of exposure to sulfur mustard; no positive results were detected.

Abstract: We formalize the Call Arity analysis, as implemented in GHC, and prove both functional correctness and, more interestingly, safety (i.e. the transformation does not increase allocation).
We use syntax and the denotational semantics from the entry "Launchbury", where we formalized Launchbury's natural semantics for lazy evaluation.
The functional correctness of Call Arity is proved with regard to that denotational semantics. The operational properties are shown with regard to a small-step semantics akin to Sestoft's mark 1 machine, which we prove to be equivalent to Launchbury's semantics.
We use Christian Urban's Nominal2 package to define our terms and make use of Brian Huffman's HOLCF package for the domain-theoretical aspects of the development.
Change history: [2015-03-16]: This entry now builds on top of the Launchbury entry, and the equivalency proof of the natural and the small-step semantics was added.

The Anunayake of the Seruwila Saranakiththi Kalyani Sect and Chief Incumbent of the Mangala Raja Maha Viharaya in Seruwila, the Most Venerable Seruwila Saranakiththi Thera has passed away.
The mortal remains of the Nayaka Thera, who passed away at a private hospital on Monday, May 2., are to be brought to the Seruwila Raja Maha Viharaya. The Nayaka Thera who also held the positions of Chief Incumbent at the Jayasumanaramaya in Trincomalee and the Uthurugiri Viharaya in Muttur, was 76-years-old at the time of his passing.
The Most Venerable Seruwila Saranakiththi Thera is remembered to this day, for his bold action to commence a hunger strike when the LTTE closed the Mavil Aru anicut.
The Nayaka Thera who rendered a yeoman service to protecting Buddhist heritage in the North and East, was ordained in 1960, and served the Sasana for 56 years.
The Funeral Committee will meet after the mortal remains are brought to the Seruwila Raja Maha Viharaya, to decide when the final rites will be observed.

"I hope that these twenty pages will be recalled when modern civilization flounders as a result of the disastrous ambiguity of the words: nation, nationality, race."
Those "twenty pages", which Renan had hoped would save the world, became the intellectual premise for Iqbal's proposal about the birth of a new state. In his Allahabad Address, Iqbal quoted from this lecture of Renan in a manner which makes his own writing – also comprising of some twenty pages – a sequel to Renan's lecture, and could easily be subtitled "What Is A Nation? Part 2". Hence, the passionate warning of Renan that his lecture should be used for averting disasters may now be seen as directly addressed to Pakistanis (and by that implication to Bengalis and Indians in so far as the creation of Pakistan is a fact of their history too). They people cannot afford to disregard the warning of Renan even if the rest of the world forgets him. In their history, those twenty pages have played an actively role unlike anywhere else in the world. The key for understanding this is to consider three crucial references to Renan in the writings of Iqbal.
"Our duty is carefully to watch the progress of human thought, and to maintain an independent critical attitude towards it." This is the advice which Iqbal offered to his readers at a certain stage, and it reflected a practice which he had followed throughout. A very good example of this "independent critical attitude" is his engagement with the thought of Renan.
The benefit of this approach becomes evident when we look at how it helped Iqbal to engage with the powerful mind of Renan in a creative and original manner as we shall see now.
In his 1882 paper, Renan had shown conclusively that geography, race, language or religion did not make a nation. About Islam, he had written somewhere that it was going to "lose the high intellectual and moral direction of an important part of the universe". Quoting this statement in his paper "The Muslim Community" (1911), Iqbal called it "a veiled hope" on Renan's part that Islam should thus fizzle out.
Yet he bypassed such quibbles and managed to meet Renan on the grounds of common principles. The first principle which Iqbal seems to have discerned from the writings of Renan was that any community, society or nation which hoped to hold itself together merely through belief in certain propositions of a metaphysical import was indeed standing on an extremely unsafe basis, especially before the advance of modern knowledge, with its habits of rationalism and criticism. (Iqbal, "The Muslim Community").
Mere belief in the Islamic principle, though exceedingly important, is not sufficient. In order to participate in the life of the communal self, the individual mind must undergo a complete transformation, and this transformation is secured, externally by the institutions of Islam, and internally by that uniform culture which the intellectual energy of our forefathers has produced.
Renan had described the evolution of modern European nations to show that diverse factors had gone into their making. Iqbal showed that in Asia, such factors had been provided by Islam, which had been working as much more than a religion. The vision of Islam which he offered was neither a set of metaphysical beliefs nor a two-dimensional study of "lived religion", but was through and through a people-building force (see "The Muslim Community").
Indeed it is no exaggeration to say that India is perhaps the only country in the world where Islam, as a people-building force, has worked at its best.
This subtlety is obviously ignored by those who seek to reinforce the Islamic identity of Muslim societies in South Asia by introducing more rigid models of Islam from other parts of the Muslim world. It also seems to be forgotten by those who hope to make these societies more tolerant and enlightened by importing esoteric and metaphysical wisdom from abroad. At least in the case of Pakistan, this observation is also being ignored by those who propose to impose unpopular secularist oligarchies. All these reformers and adventurers would perhaps benefit by considering what Iqbal stated elsewhere: "The flame of life cannot be borrowed from others; it must be kindled in the temple of one’s own soul. This requires earnest preparation and a relatively permanent programme." (The Lahore Address, 1932).
The most interesting aspect of the connection between Renan and Iqbal is that it helps us restore Renan's principle of nationalism as a workable solution not only in Iqbal's society but perhaps also elsewhere in the world, and points in the direction of that empirical evidence which may qualify Renan's principle for being called, truly, "the spiritual principle of nationalism."
We have seen that Renan, in his 1882 lecture, had refuted the presumptions of some earlier thinkers that nations could be formed on the basis of geography, race or language. This should be of special interest to the learners of Iqbal Studies, who very well know that Iqbal launched an ideological attack against these theories of nationalism, but most of them do not realize that Iqbal did so on a premise already established for him by another great thinker.
We have also seen that Renan's assumption that religion could not provide a feasible basis for nation-building was modified by Iqbal on the grounds that this could be true about a certain conception of religion but not about another conception that was most peculiarly evidenced among the Muslims of India.
Now we may come to consider the question that if geography, race, language or "absolute distinction between men on the basis of religion" does not define a nation, then what does? The answer which Renan provided was the spiritual principle of nationalism. It had two postulates. The first explained how modern nations were formed. The second answered how they could be sustained.
To wish to perform still more.
A nation is a soul, a spiritual principle. Two things, which in truth are but one, constitute this soul or spiritual principle. One lies in the past, one in the present. One is the possession in common of a rich legacy of memories; the other is present-day consent, the desire to live together, the will to perpetuate the value of the heritage that one has received in an undivided form. Man, Gentlemen, does not improvise. The nation, like the individual, is the culmination of a long past of endeavours, sacrifice, and devotion. Of all cults, that of the ancestors is the most legitimate, for the ancestors have made us what we are. A heroic past, great men, glory (by which I understand genuine glory), this is the social capital upon which one bases a national idea. To have common glories in the past and to have a common will in the present; to have performed great deeds together, to wish to perform still more—these are the essential conditions for being a people.
A nation's existence is, if you will pardon the metaphor, a daily plebiscite, just as an individual's existence is a perpetual affirmation of life. That, I know full well, is less metaphysical than divine right and less brutal than so called historical right. According to the ideas that I am outlining to you, a nation has no more right than a king does to say to a province: "You belong to me, I am seizing you." A province, as far as I am concerned, is its inhabitants; if anyone has the right to be consulted in such an affair, it is the inhabitant. A nation never has any real interest in annexing or holding on to a country against its will. The wish of nations is, all in all, the sole legitimate criterion, the one to which one must always return.
“Man,” says Renan, “is enslaved neither by his race nor by his religion, nor by the course of rivers, nor by the direction of mountain ranges. A great aggregation of men, sane of mind and warm of heart, creates a moral consciousness which is called a nation.” Such a formation is quite possible, though it involves the long and arduous process of practically re-making men and furnishing them with a fresh emotional equipment. It might have been a fact in India if the teachings of Kabir and the Divine Faith of Akbar had seized the imagination of the masses of this country. Experience, however, shows that the various caste units and religious units in India have shown no inclination to sink their respective individualities in a larger whole. Each group is intensely jealous of its collective existence. The formation of the kind of moral consciousness which constitutes the essence of a nation in Renan’s sense demands a price which the peoples of India are not prepared to pay.
consult the populations in the areas under dispute."
that Renan had said such a thing.
This recommendation will bring a smile to the lips of the transcendants of politics, these infallible beings who spend their lives deceiving themselves and who, from the height of their superior principles, take pity upon our mundane concerns.
It could be very rewarding to apply Renan's principle to a case study of the history of South Asia from 1887, and see what empirical evidence turns up. For this, we shall need to add the twenty pages of the Allahabad Address to the original twenty of Renan's What Is A Nation. Such a study has not been undertaken until now and still awaits some insightful and bold scholar.

I am at 12,500 feet aiming for 13,000 and despite a prophylactic chaw of cocoa leaf presented to me at a welcoming ceremony, my lungs beg for oxygen.
I have just disembarked a boat that had taken me across Lake Titicaca. And yes, there really is a Lake Titicaca, the inland sea in Peru with the name we all giggled about in fourth-grade geography class. I am trudging, with backpack, up a hill on the island of Suasi to a lodge where I will spend the next few days. In comparison to where I have just been, this is starting to look like heaven.
