Belgrade: Serbian Capital Bans Gay Pride March
The Dog Sys:-
Well done to Belgrade. I'm so sick of these pinko's whinging all the time.
Serbian Capital Bans Gay Pride March.
Authorities in Belgrade have banned a gay pride march in the Serb capital for a third year in a row due to threats of violence by rightwing groups.
Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said top security and state officials decided to ban the September 28 event because they feared a repeat of violence in 2010, when more than 100 people were injured as extremists attacked a gay pride march in Belgrade, triggering clashes with police.
He denied giving in to hooligans.
But as night fell, around 200 gay activists waving rainbow flags and banners that read "This is Pride" gathered outside Dacic's government office before walking to parliament flanked by riot police.
"We want to show that we will walk on streets of Belgrade, yes, we will not disappear, yes, we will have Pride tonight, we will have Pride every day, all 365 days…

Do you know what "cracker" means?
The Dog Says:-
So it's OK to call my Daddy (Supajohnny), "Cracker", because he's white (well a little pink with brownie twinges round the forelocks). In my view, if it's OK to call my dad a "Cracker", it's OK to call Black people "Niggers". How does this help anyone, Mr Holder. How does this make the world a better place for ALL people, you ASSHOLE?
Anyway, supajohnny's family were like the rest of the white working class population of Europe and North America. They were victims of the ruling classes too. And NEVER owned slaves.
A point of history here. It was the Arabs, not the Europeans, who initiated and ruthlessly exploited slavery for 1400 years…and still do under the Muslim banner. Look at Libya, they still have black slaves. So, go fu*k yourself Mr Holder. Stop trying to start a race war.

I have read many articles today all across the mainstream media saying that we are experiencing global warming. That the global warming is causing all of the rain and flooding that we have seen around the world. Then I came across an article with satellite images from NASA that actually show the polar ice caps growing in size. In fact they apparently have increased in size by 60% from 2012 to 2013. They can't both be right. Which is it? Maybe government scare tactics, propaganda to promote their "New World Order" agenda? Scientists around the globe have been telling us for years that humans are creating "global warming". I bet that these are the same scientists who believe in evolution and the "Big Bang" theory!

The Season of the Witch…
The Dog Says:-
This is one of the most important video's I've ever seen. If we are aware of the plans of the New World Order, We have a chance of challenging it. If we don't know what it is, who they are and what they're doing. We will LOSE and lose our very lives and/or end up as slaves. God doesn't want this. So our first job is to spread knowledge about this group, in particular Bilderberg, Rockefeller etc.. Only when we, the people have knowledge of this nefarious group, can we disable then dismantle them. Don't forget, they control governments, media, schools and even charities. So our only weapon is the internet. We MUST use this now. We may not always have it. Diane Feinstein is already trying to stop us Bloggers from operating outside their control. We must not allow her and her diabolical scheme to succeed.

Those that research and observe the New World Order and the Global Corporatists will eventually discover that those who work to spin the Earth and it's inhabitants do things in Cycles, and they are almost always related to the seasonal changes of the planet.
We have now entered the Season of the Witch…
Before the unwashed masses are put in their graves for permanent hibernation, they must be properly terrified of the coming Winter.

Total Global War is not an exaggeration. The attacks already occur daily on all fronts. The bullets and bombs are obvious, but a more quiet and sinister brand of…

Commentary By: Gordon King
Evolution, the development of a Universe and all that is in it, including mankind. Most evolutionists believe that the Universe was created by the "Big Bang" theory.
A very simplified version for the explanation of the "Big Bang" from the "wisegeek.org":
"The Big Bang theory is science's best explanation of how the universe was created. The theory asserts that our entire universe was created when a tiny (billions of times smaller than a proton), super-dense, super-hot mass exploded and began expanding very rapidly, eventually cooling and forming into the stars and galaxies with which we are familiar. This event is said to have happened approximately 15 billion years ago."
I have a lot of problems believing this theory.

Incest is best? Islamist group says Egypt's new constitution 'promotes incest, homosexuality' | Al Bawaba
The Dog Says:-
Muslims always project the worst of their behaviours on others. Like tis case of Egypt's new constitution, a case in point. Pot calling the kettle Black. They don't get more incestuous, paedophilic and homosexual than Islamic societies. It is simply that they are hypocritical about it.
Incest is best? Islamist group says Egypt's new constitution 'promotes incest, homosexuality' | Al Bawaba.
Jama'a al-Islamiya has accused the 50-member constitutional committee of launching a war aimed at eliminating Islam, pointing to proposed amendments to Article 3 of the Egyptian Constitution.
The article stipulates: "For Egyptian Christians and Jews, the principles of their religious law will be the main source in regulating their personal status, matters pertaining to their religion, and the selection of their spiritual leadership."
Toying with this article, and therefore giving freedoms to the laws of non-Islamic faiths without specifying details, could lead to permissive behaviour in Egypt like approving incest or same sex marriages, Jama'a al-Islamiya claimed in a statement acquired by Egypt Independent.
The group said the suggested article would give freedoms to domestic laws for atheistic, pornographic or Satanist groups. It therefore represents an attack on the religious and ethical values of Egypt…

Gateway Pundit
On Tuesday, we reported that President Obama was caught on mic telling a U.N. official that he has not had a "cigarette in six years" because he "is scared of his wife". Daily Caller has pointed out the lie by our pathological liar in chief:
Despite his claim to having had a cigarette in six years, Obama had one at least as recently as February 2010, according to Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who performed a physical and who was quoted in the New York Times on February 28, 2010.
In December 2010, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama hadn't had a cigarette in nine months.
Michelle Obama initially asked Americans to watch out and to try to catch her husband smoking on the campaign trail in 2008 but she gave him a pass for smoking in March 2010.

Christians Persuaded To Embrace Gay Marriage Are NOT Christians
Christians Persuaded To Embrace Gay Marriage Are NOT Christians
The Dog Says:-
God instructed us to love people NOT their sins. Love the sinner hate the sin is the most appropriate response.
So why is God against Homosexuality?
Well, it's not what he designed SEX for. God wants us to procreate, and there are two main ways to do this: Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction. The latter is really cloning. Very few animals do this. I can only think of the Sea Horse, off-hand. The problem with it is, most genetic mistakes and parasitic infections you are stuck with. But, with Sexual Reproduction, the animal has the chance to overcome genetic problems and out-pace the persistent germ, virus or parasite. So God chose Sexual Reproduction for Humans. But how does God persuade two members of a species to get close enough to each other to breed, then giggle about a bit to finish the act so that the male and female zygote can get together and do their thing by meeting and dividing? The answer was to make the act of procreation between the two animals of the opposite sex really attractive by making it jolly good fun; Technically releasing adrenalin and dopamine, causing both parties immense enjoyment. This makes them want to 'do it'. But, maybe too much. So he put their genitals in exactly the same place as their excretory organs. Thus causing them to hopefully 'do it' only if they really loved each other enough to play with each others 'wee-wee' bits.
The problem is, it made them wanna do it very, very much so God had to limit potential contact by introducing the concept of family and in doing so, He made Marriage between two opposite sex couples the only socially acceptable form of sexual interaction.
But, in this sexual, social constriction, the better breeders became the most avid players of the 'wee-wee' bits. Sexual drive, particularly among Men, went into overdrive as the better breeders were usually the stronger, more attractive men to others.
However the social control, introduced by God created an imbalance between the number of sexual partners of these men and their increasing sexual urges; control wasn't enough for these increasingly hedonistic, narcissistic, undersexed men.
Men have always played with their 'wee-wee' bit in hard times (pardon the pun). Some found it enjoyable to play with each other, particularly if their playmate was a bit effeminate. They completely lost interest in the core function of sex as a means of pro-creation. They began seeking the pleasure of sex for its own sake, with all the accompanying health risks that go with playing with each others excretory organs.
Disease became the new, natural control for this overactive sexual behavior. And as most of these men completely lost interest in the other sex. Their actual rate of reproduction failed to match, in any way, their heightened sexual proclivity for each other.
This trickled along, fairly harmlessly until the 1950's in Western Europe and America. Here a Lucifarian attitude to sex was starting to protrude into society. "Do what you will", became the middle class mantra. And with it we entered into the 'enlightened' sexual revolution of the 1960's on.
There became a massive increase in sexual activity with both sexes. But the irony was that the rate of reproduction among White Western people remained the same and even lowered. By the year 2000, this had dropped to below the point of no return for maintaining a population. At the same time, immigration from non-white countries where less homosexuality was tolerated, still remained four times higher than with the white people's replacement rate.
God's worst predictions have indeed been realized. People, particularly the white races have started dying off as the sexual revolution took hold.
So, what is for the future? We must tell our kids that God is right. Homosexuality is wrong, even dangerous to the general population. You see, Gay men are not born that way. Their hyper sexual drive encourages their disregard of sexual control. To the extent that Homosexuals are far more likely to seek out clandestine and harmful relationships than Heterosexual men.

They keep trying to take this website, 'Sharia Unveiled', down. Why, because it tells truths that the socialist/illuminate controlled media is afraid of. Knowledge is power. Power that the élite are trying to deny us. The illuminate want to reduce the population of intelligent, enlightened individuals who usually reside in the West and Israel. In other words, US. So they have set up the savages in the world, namely the Muslims to infiltrate and kill us. This is happening all across the middle east and some parts of Europe. In order to stop it and save our very lives, we must have knowledge. This knowledge comes from brave souls like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, Sharia Unveiled, Geert Wilders, Tommy Robinson, Nick Griffin and many, many more who are warning us of the Islamic invasion being perpetrated by the Lucifarian, Illuminate and Masonic traitors is our midst. It is a war of words at the moment, but unless we stop it, through deportation and even annihilation of the illuminate élite. We will be wiped out or enslaved. I don't want this for my, yours or our children's future. We have a choice, we can submit and accept enslavement with all its obvious horrors. We can lay down bravely and die, usually by beheading. Or we can FIGHT. And fight for our very lives. This is my choice and the reason behind my writing of these blogs. So, make your choice NOW before the choice is made for you. History shows us that the meek, the unprepared and the naïve are killed and forgotten. It's YOUR choice. I've made mine and my choice is to stand and fight. What will YOUR CHOICE BE?
G-d Bless you all.

Pssst… we can write an original essay just for you.
Any subject. Any type of essay.
We'll even meet a 3-hour deadline.
121 writers online
Karl Marx once rightly quoted, "A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties." Initial launch of a commodity in market might seem luxurious but there is an immense impact of producing such commodities without keeping in mind the commodification of natural resources. There has been a direct or indirect co-relation between tribes and their nearest natural resources. The literature selected for my topic deals with transformation among Indian tribes, Van Rajis in particular with reference to the socioeconomic profile and the multiple factors associated with their livelihood. Tribal population has been undergoing some changes in social strata since the British era. The social change also raises the question about the assimilation of tribes with Hindus. The tribes in lower and upper Himalayan region are primarily the Tharus, the Buxas, the Jaunsaries, the Bhotias and the Rajis.
Articles deals with the historical context of the Raji and the peasants in Uttar Pradesh (Now Uttarakhand). Literature has been critical of forest acts implemented by British in the land. It also reflects on certain government schemes and their failure in implementing at ground level. There is also an angle which deals with the cultural paradigm of Himalayan people in general. Literature reviewThe term tribe is a colonial construct. In 1881 census the tribes were called forest tribes under a broad heading of agricultural and pastoral castes. There has been a lot of effort done to describe tribes- People who follow animism to the ones who are backward Hindus (devoid of caste society). "Roy-Burman [1972] classifies tribes into (1) those incorporated in Hindu Society, (2) those positively oriented to Hindu Society, (3) those negatively oriented and (4) those indifferent to Hindu society" (Virginius, 1999, p. 1520).
The question rises- Is it that easy to absorb into a caste society like Hindu? It is more or less to what I would like to call is as pseudo Hinduisation because even if a tribal community tries to mobilize towards Hindu society, the occupancy of the tribal group to a particular caste group may raise controversy. Therefore, a concept of following rituals and beliefs of upper caste group is easier than sole mobilization into the group. Although practicing Hindu religion in order to uplift their identity is a different matter altogether. Globalization has hardly left any community in solitude.
The effects of globalization among Rajis who are the PVTG's of Uttarakhand have a scarce population throughout the state. Although their population has been increasing but their lifestyle is going into an abyss. There has been an adaptation of Hindu rituals in cultural terms. No literature is available regarding their traditional dress. With the advancement of technology their immersion within the modern world has increased. They are being more exposed to technological developments like TV, mobile phones etc. They have Hinduised and no longer follow their tradition. They are in a state of transition from hunter-gatherer to agricultural economy. Language also plays an important role in describing the tribal conversion. "A caste as a social organization is operative only within a linguistic community. Hence it is possible for a tribe to become a caste only after it has assimilated into the regional linguistic community such Bengali or the Oriya or the Assamese community" (Virginius, 1999, p. 1522).
Tribes have also been regarded as peasant community by witnessing their ways of sustaining livelihood, example the Buxas as agriculturists. There has been a significant shift in economic way of tribal lives from nomadic culture to agriculturalists, landless laborers, miners in industries etc. Sociologists claim that the Raji tribes are descendants of Kiratas. They used to be hunters and gatherers and led a nomadic life but now their way of sustenance has shifted towards settlement. They claim themselves to be the original settlers of Central Himalaya and are distributed in Champawat, Pithoragarh and Udham Singh Nagar. Most of the Raji families are below poverty line and a little proportion of them still practice nomadic lifestyle. "50.46% of total income of the tribe is from wage labor, 27.78% from forests and 12.55% from agriculture" (Pushpesh, 2008, p. 386).
Deforestation has led to enormous damage to peasants and tribes in Himalayan region. Pre- independence, the local communities had an easy access to all the forest resources needed. So, there was no scarcity of fodder, firewood and timber. Before invasion of British, Gurkhas dominated the land and they used forest woods to make defensive weapons for wars but this act did not dominate the basic livelihood of local residents to a great extent. British came with an idea of commercialization of resources. Therefore, Himalayan lowlands and uplands were used for agriculture. With the expansion of agriculture, access to forest was also restricted to ensure commercial timber production. Then, there was introduction of some forest policies which denied burning of pastures but this policy witnessed outrage and as a manifestation of protest people burned forests which affected 840,000 hectares of land. As a result, Kumaon Grievance Committee's report was formed which excluded a defined area of pasture for the locals. There was overexploitation of Sal followed up by Deodar trees for their good timber.
In 1870's British introduced apples in Himalayan region which led to 'Apple Revolution' in Himalayan economy. Apple cultivation replaced Oak forests and also led to indirect deforestation because transportation of apples required wooden boxes and these boxes were made available through wood from forests. Apple cultivation has also been an important benchmark to understand the use of pesticide and insecticides in Himalayan agriculture. The use of these chemicals altered the Himalayan ecosystem. Voelcker and Robert Wallace criticized the forest policies implemented by the British. Voelcker called the policy largely based on revenue collection and profit making. Wallace said that large hectares of Indian forests have been denuded and this is not to serve the national interest but are largely based on fulfilling the extraneous economical demands. The economy of tribes came under question when these policies were passed. Post-independence came an extension of colonial policies by the government. Government made sure that the interests of local communities should not override the importance of national interests.
Although, in 1960 the president of India appointed a commission for Schedule areas, Schedule tribes commission which embarked on a mission to understand the harmful effects of forest policies on tribal lives. But, this commission still could not provide effective solution to the problem because it was still considered that most of the destruction to forests is done by the tribal communities. In 1976, National Commission on Agriculture (NCA) proposed three classification of forests: protective forests, productive forests and social forests. NCA was followed up by the proposal of a draft bill which dictated minimal rights of people over forests and severe punishments were incorporated within the bill. In 1980, Committee on Forests and Tribes in India issued statements considering interests of individual tribal, community tribal and interests of national interests within the forest policy. There were provisions which were strictly against the idea of using forest lands for non-forest use but this was not propagated by state in its fullest extent. "According to a news report, 144 hectares of forest land in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat was given for the construction of a cement plant in spite of opposition from forest officials without obtaining prior approval of the central government" (Kulkarni, 1987, p. 2147).
Post-independence, the economic development of the country was given prime importance and over exploitation of Oak was a major concern. When the supply of Oak reduced Chir trees were planted to meet the market demand. This affected the livelihood of locals who were dependent on the leaf of Oak for manure and fodder for their livestock. In 1960's and 1970's military roads were constructed for defense and a huge part of mountain was cut off. According to Public Works Department (PWD) the total length of roads in Kumaon increased from 360 Km in 1947 to 6,421 Km in 1991. Construction of roads increased the plights of inhabitants because it made an easy access for timber mafia. In 1977, limestone, magnetite and Phosphorite mining became very significant in this region contributing 25% of all mines in India. Himalayan ecology and economy was greatly affected by the international trade policies. Many political alliances were established with different states. These alliances served as an important channel for diffusion of culture between communities. The diffusion although was not random and was a more one way diffusion. We can say that people from so called lesser traditions tried to get diffused into so called upper traditions. There were other factors like dominance of upper castes in Himalayan villages which also shaped the economy of the tribes.
In Sirkanda village in Gharwal in Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand). The village had castes- Brahmins, Rajputs, Blacksmiths, Drummers and the barber family. The economic aspect has been focusing on the occupational role of different castes in the village. There was no Shudra caste there. Brahmins and Rajputs were ritually the higher castes. There was unity seen among Brahmins and Rajputs. Therefore, they were seen as allied castes. The lower castes did see both of them same. The caste hierarchy among them had no direct manifestations. They were the controlling castes who made all the decisions within the village. They even made decisions for other castes. Lower castes were expected to obey higher castes. If they refused to do so, the effects could be seen in of physical and economic sanctions. There were different Jajamani system methods through which economy flowed within the village system: the exchange of religious services for gifts, exchange of labor for grains and mutual exchange of labor.
The first method is the service which was given by Brahmin to his Jajman (client) and in return receives gifts or payments from his client. In second method the artisan or service caste is paid a fixed portion of grain per harvest. In third system of mutual relation is primarily on providing material goods from both the sides, for example, the blacksmith would see to iron needs of the drummers and drummers in return would play the drum whenever the blacksmith needed. There is also a fourth category which falls out of the Jajmani system and is the daily wage service. There was also some occupational mobility in these villages, only a minority proportion of Brahmins actually did priestly work and many of them engaged in agricultural practices, there were also some lower castes who also left their caste based professions and started agriculture. This occupational mobility therefore, did not allow much exploitation in the village. There was a good exchange of services and because of this the exploitation was not seen as a significant attribute in caste society. There is a very unique term called cultural poverty.
Cultural poverty in Uttarakhand has been a very significant factor to assess the cultural manifestations of the region. There is no or very less pride left in cultural solidarity. There has been immense commodification of Gharwali or Kumaoni music by the capitalists from southern Uttarakhand. This is done in the name of cultural preservation but most of the studio and editing work is done in plains. There has been an immense shortage of local bands which were once the eye-catching elements in the culture of Paharis. These days most of the ceremonies witness western bands. Therefore, these local bands have stopped playing all together. This has led to their income crisis in the region. All the developmental projects have contributed to the less access of villagers to the natural resources. This make them feel deprived of their own land. The once rich folk music can no longer be heard in the echo of mountains. "Vernacular popular music has been responsive to and is to some extent reliant upon the aesthetic presentation and studio technologies of the plains" (Fiol, 2013, p. 94). State has been very unresponsive to provide funds for the cultural events.
There are growing concerns on the extinguishing culture among raji tribes but they in this 21st century are facing poverty. Most of them work on lands of Kumaoni landholders. Their primitive economy has vanished and hence they are forced to come into contact with people of other dominant communities. As a result, they have learned their language I, e; Hindi and Kumaoni which made them not to speak Raji language. Also, there has been immense shame which has been linked to their identity that they themselves refuse to take stand on their identity and instead call themselves Hindus. The Van Rajis relied on forests for their survival. They had an economy based on barter system where they made wooden utensils and exchanged them with other villagers but this shift in economy compelled them to adopt primitive agriculture but due to degraded quality of land their labor often went in vain and they were not able to produce sufficient crop. The lack of education affected them in the sense of not knowing the new and better agricultural practices.
While going through different literature I realized that the economic aspect of Raji tribes has not been documented well. Articles which I sorted out were somehow related to the living conditions of these tribes in Himalayan region and the concepts mentioned merely touched the tip of the iceberg. Although, the literature in insightful in a sense that it talked about the historical context of the Tribe dealing with pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial changes in different dimensions. The literature mentioned the declining culture of the entire Uttarakhand. In the midst of the acculturation of the privileged communities, Rajis cannot even begin to think about the revival of their culture. I felt that the concept of cultural poverty needs to be dealt in a better way through state intervention.
The major concern which I felt was important in understanding the issue is also considering the education among them. Also, what are the outcomes of social mobilization is also something to be dealt with. The literature offered me the conceptual understanding to proceed with my selected topic by giving a framework due to which there has been the economic shift among the tribe. The conclusion of the article talks about the assimilation of tribe with the mainstream ideology. But, the question remains behind in defining what is mainstreaming and what is not.

Sport Document
Chronology : 1850-1859
1857 The Laws of the Knickerbockers
2016 SOLD for $ 3.26M including premium
The spirit of competition requires fixed rules that will identify champions who will defend their title in the following season. In England, football has a similar story at the same period.
The activist of the standardization of base ball, which will later become the baseball, is the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club established in 1845 and named after the uniforms of the firefighters who lent to them their playing field.
The Knickerbockers were not the best in sport but they had the merit of endeavoring to impose their rules. They were also one of the two teams that played the first official match in 1846 and the first base ball club to use a distinctive uniform in 1849.
In 1857 in New York, the first congress of the National Association of Base Ball Players establishes the first regulatory body and freezes the rules that will remain virtually unchanged for ever, ending the initiatives of the Knickerbockers.
A set of three manuscripts that were almost unnoticed in an auction in 1999 gives a new vision on the fundamental and even unique role of the Knickerbockers in defining the final baseball laws.
In 1857 the President of the Knickerbockers is Doc Adams who had been a player in the 1846 pioneering game. The three documents are the first autograph draft written by Adams in 1856 (the last page is missing), an iteration annotated by him before the congress and the final laws submitted to Congress and approved.
These documents are grouped as the lot 1 in the online auction organized by SCP Auctions with bidding close out on April 23. I invite you to watch the video shared by the auction house.
We are record setters here at SCP #Auctions. Remember when we sold The Laws of Baseball for over $3,000,000? We'd love to help you with your #sports #memorabilia in our Summer Premier Auction.

1857 Football was born in Sheffield
2011 SOLD 880 K£ including premium
Particularly dynamic since its creation in 1857, the Sheffield Foot-Ball Club immediately established a working group to standardize the sport. On October 28, 1858, a set of eleven rules was adopted. Sheffield succeeded where other clubs had failed: in 1863 the new Football Association confirmed the game as it was played in Sheffield.
The club sells its archives on July 14 at Sotheby's in London.
The documents contain the official records of the club with the minutes of meetings and the first accounts of games. They include, of course, the oldest handwritten version of the rules of football, but also the only known copy of the first printed edition (1859).
It is an extraordinary set for the knowledge of sports history, so important as an input to social history as a whole. The estimate, £ 800K, seems low.
The estimate was well targeted. Sold £ 880K including premium, the lot has remained around the low estimate.

1891 Ball and Basket for Indoor Sport
2010 SOLD 4.3 M$ including premium
By design, it is not a rough sport. The idea of the inventor, the Canadian James Naismith, was to occupy without risk of injury the sportsmen in winter, when weather conditions do not allow to play baseball or football.
The elevated position of the baskets gives a specific interest to this sport that does not invite to physical contact. One can argue whether similar sports existed before basketball and inspired Naismit. No matter: the basketball based on his thirteen rules has become one of the most popular sports due to the simplicity of its required equipment.
Naismith had typed these thirteen rules, in two sheets that he modified by hand writing and signed. His family, who had kept this precious document, sells it at Sotheby's in New York on December 10 for the benefit of a Canadian foundation that spreads the ideals of sportsmanship of the inventor. The photo of these pages is shared by Artdaily.
It is clear that this lot is highly important in the history of sport. The auction house devoted a separate catalog to it, and expects $ 2M.
The invention of basketball is really a major act of modern history, one of those advances that have impacted the lives and behavior of millions of people. The document was sold for $ 4.3 million including premium.

1892 Faster, Stronger, Higher
2019 SOLD for $ 8.8M including premium
With a remarkable open-mindedness, Coubertin compares the progress of sport in several countries. In England, the country of the fair play, football is a team sport practiced in colleges, including Rugby, and the establishment of official rules allows competitions. In Sweden the mental benefit of gymnastics is officially recognized. In the United States, sport opens the way to the practice of collective recreation. He does not like the use of sport for military training in Germany but recognizes its heroic character.
The time is also favorable for meetings of thematic clubs in England and France. They will support the development of the Coubertin project. In 1891 he promulgates a motto : citius, fortius, altius (later modified in its sequence). Coubertin is setting the example : on March 20, 1892 he is the referee in the final of the first French rugby championship.
Taking as a pretext the fifth anniversary of a running club, a conference is organized at the Sorbonne on November 25, 1892, with three speakers. Bourdon and Jusserand tell the history of the sport. Coubertin, entrusted for dealing with modern sport, concludes his speech by proposing the reestablishment of the Olympic Games.
In this seminal address, Coubertin's vision is universal. The most developed nations will help the others. It is a matter of practicing sports in common between athletes of all nations with a search for the individual excellence, but not yet of international competition or rewards.
The autograph draft of this Coubertin thesis, largely modified by the author in the preparation phase, is estimated $ 700K for sale by Sotheby's in New York on December 18, lot 173. Please watch the video shared by the auction house.
Very remarkably, despite necessarily different visions of his international interlocutors, it is Coubertin himself who will concretize his concept. A January 1894 autograph document defining the stadium and sports passed at Goldin Auctions on October 29, 2016. In June 1894, Pierre de Coubertin creates the International Olympic Committee.
#AuctionUpdate Moments ago in our #NYC salesroom, the original Olympic Games manifesto soared to $8.8 million, more than 8.5x its $1 million high estimate following a 12-minute bidding battle. The manifesto outlines Pierre de Coubertin's vision for reviving the ancient games. pic.twitter.com/xoR4uAzs2t— Sotheby's (@Sothebys) December 18, 2019
1918 Salary Increase for George H. Ruth
2014 SOLD 1.02 M$ including premium
He knows that he can demand a salary increase for 1918. He will earn $ 5,000 for the new season, compared with the $ 3,500 of his paycheck from the previous year. The debate is not difficult because the employer knows the actual value of the player. This contract is considered as a bargain for the club.
The contract was signed in triplicate on January 16, 1918 by the player, the club owner and president of the American League in the official format. The copy for Babe Ruth is the oldest surviving contractual document concerning the champion. It is for sale by Goldin Auctions in Baltimore on July 12. Here is the link to the site of the auction house.
Babe Ruth continues his prodigious career. After the 1919 season, he was transferred by the Red Sox to the New York Yankees. A copy of the contract signed by both clubs has been sold for $ 1M including premium by Sotheby's on 10 June 2005.
The contract signed in January 1918 was sold for $ 1.02 M. The release issued by the sports business reporter Darren Rovell compares this result with the price including premium obtained by Sotheby's in 2005 for the contract between Red Sox and Yankees. This release is linked in the tweet below published by the auction house.

1919 George H Ruth available for Sale
2017 SOLD for $ 2.3M including premium
Until 1918 the Boston Red Sox team dominated the prestigious World Series of Major League Baseball. The 1919 season is bad for the Red Sox and the club owner Harry Frazee decides to change his strategy, preferring to build a consistent team rather than relying on a star player. The larger than life behavior of Babe Ruth and his growing demands of salary do not please Frazee : the player George H. Ruth is now available for sale !
Frazee who is also a theater director is in a urgent need of money. He accepts the proposal of the New York Yankees of a $ 300K mortgage loan hiring his Boston ballpark and sells Ruth to the Yankees for $ 100K.
The contract selling the player is signed with a notary in New York City on December 26, 1919. Cautiously some clauses are added on how both parties shall handle a probable new demand of salary increase by Ruth or a possible deficiency of the player to work for the Yankees.
Three copies of this contract have been established. Frazee's document was sold for $ 1M including premium by Sotheby's on June 10, 2005. The document attributed to Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert is offered as lot 2 in the online sale opened by Lelandswith a closing date on June 30. Here is the link to Lelands.com. The third copy did not resurface.
Babe Ruth signed with the New York Yankees in the following month. The most brilliant part of his exceptional sporting career was beginning.
From a sporting point of view, Frazee's decision is a disaster for the Boston club which disappears until 2004 from the list of the World Series winners. This long period is assimilated with a curse in the legend of baseball under the name of Curse of the Bambino.

1922 A Businessman named Babe Ruth
2016 SOLD for $ 550K including premium
Three major contracts mark the progress of the fame of Babe Ruth.
On January 16, 1918, Ruth signs with the Boston Red Sox for a salary of $ 5,000 per year which is an increase by 43% compared to his previous payment. A signed copy was sold for $ 1,02M including premium by Goldin on July 12, 2014.
The champion is not directly involved in the contract signed in 1919 by the Red Sox and the Yankees for his transfer to the New York team because the contract defining his salary is still valid. A copy of the contract between the two clubs was sold for $ 1M including premium by Sotheby's on June 10, 2005.
Babe Ruth is eager to renegotiate his salary. Thanks to his skills the Yankees can compete with their rivals the New York Giants. Crowds rush to watch the champion on the field and the Yankees will soon decide to build the Yankee Stadium.
Ruth is in a strong position. He refuses the offers by the Yankees at $ 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 per year before concluding at $ 52,000 stating that this number suits him because it corresponds to one grand per week. The contract is signed on March 10, 1922. Unable to oppose the unprecedented salary expectations of the champion the Yankees had obtained that Ruth refrains from drinking liquors and does not stay up after 1 A.M. during the playing season.
A signed copy of the contract is estimated $ 750K for sale by Goldin in New York on April 30, lot 43.
1924 The Salary of a Stocky Man
2017 SOLD for $ 480K including premium
From that first phase his records are sensational. As early as 1920 he attracted attention by scoring in front of 10,000 spectators one of the most prestigious and rarest points of baseball, a grand slam whose he will be the best specialist throughout his long career.
Lou was born in New York City. His skills very logically appealed the leaders of the New York Yankees with whom he plays his first match in Major League on June 15, 1923.
At that time the star player of the Yankees is Babe Ruth, strong enough to grab a weekly salary of $ 1,000 in 1922. An original copy of that contract was sold for $ 550K including premium by Goldin on April 30, 2016.
The president of the club, Jacob Ruppert, who accepted the exorbitant conditions of Ruth, is definitely a competent manager. On August 30, 1924 Gehrig signs his first contract with the Yankees for a monthly salary of $ 800, well below Ruth's salary but nevertheless quite attractive for a rookie. An original copy of this document signed by Gehrig, Ruppert and two other officials is for sale by Heritage in Dallas on August 19 with extended bidding, lot 80093 estimated $ 500K.
Lou proved himself. From 1 June 1925 he played 2,130 consecutive games with the Yankees. This stunning record will be surpassed in 1995 by Cal Ripken Jr of the Baltimore Orioles and will never be approached by any other player in Major League.

1930 A Great Deal of Money
2017 SOLD for $ 384K including premium
2018 SOLD for $ 244K including premium
An original signed copy of the 1930-1931 contract between Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees was sold for $ 384K including premium by Heritage in Dallas on February 25, 2017, lot 80062. The same lot that also includes a news photo of the act of signature by Ruppert and Ruth is now estimated $ 400K for sale by the same auction house online on August 18, lot 80038.
I narrated it as follows in 2017.
The New York Yankees have raised baseball to an unprecedented level of popularity. This achievement is the work of Jacob Ruppert, co-owner of the club from 1915 to 1923 and sole owner until his death in 1939. During his period the Yankees acquired the three most emblematic players of the inter-war period, Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio, and built the monumental Yankee Stadium for 58,000 seated spectators.
Ruppert, the heir of a successful brewery business, had an enormous investment power that he used wisely. His personal fortune inherited from his father in 1915 was $ 6.3M. His own estate in 1939 had grown to $ 40M. With his partner he spent in 1922 and 1923 more than $ 3M for the ground and the construction of the Stadium, before he purchased for $ 1.5M all the shares of his co-owner.
On a sporting level, the Yankees manager was Miller Huggins. The successes of Babe Ruth brought the player to a growing indiscipline that Huggins had managed to curb. It was not by chance that the contract signed in 1922 for 52,000 dollars per year was accompanied by a commitment from Ruth to drink less and to go to bed early. An original copy of the 1922 contract was sold for $ 550K including premium by Goldin on April 30, 2016.
The contracts were renegotiated at regular intervals. In January 1930 the club offered to the player a salary of 70,000 dollars for one year followed after a first reject by a second proposal at 75,000 dollars per year for two years. Ruth refuses also this second offer which corresponds to the annual salary of President Hoover. He asks for 85,000 dollars per year over three years, boasting that such a contract duration is shorter than the presidential term.
The contract between the Yankees and Ruth was finally signed on March 10, 1930 for 80,000 dollars per year over two years. Both sides were winners. With this small concession the Yankees got from the bulky Ruth that he renounced to succeed Huggins who had suddenly died a few months earlier.
This figure of 80,000 dollars per year over two years is the highest salary earned by Babe Ruth throughout his career and at that time an absolute record for a professional athlete. This record will be exceeded by the money received by DiMaggio in 1949 including bonuses.
1949 The Commitment of Jackie Robinson
2017 SOLD for $ 276K by Robert Edward
2018 SOLD for $ 192K including premium
Engaged in the US army during the war, Jackie Robinson meets Joe Louis. He forces his admission into a school for White officers. In 1944, following the path opened by boxing champions Joe Louis and Ray Sugar Robinson, he refuses the segregation in a military bus.
Once released from the army Jackie Robinson chooses baseball. He stirs the attention of club managers : the Major League is banned for the Blacks but this young guy is too skilled to play in the minor leagues. It was to a White, Branch Rickey, to force the fate.
Rickey is manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers in Major League and of the Montreal Royals in a minor league. He summons Robinson and explains to him that he will be the object of the vociferous hatred of the Whites. Robinson remembers the deserved glory of his friend Joe Louis. He accepts.
Their plan is applied in two phases. Robinson's signing with the Royals on October 23, 1945 goes unnoticed. His signature with the Dodgers on April 11, 1947 is like a bomb. The copies given to Jackie of these two signed documents will be sold as a single lot sale by Goldin in New York on February 27. 10% of the sale price will be donated to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Seth Kaller, expert in historical documents, defined for this set the price that was retained by the insurance companies : 36 million dollars.
Please watch the video shared on May 1, 2017 by Darren Rovell on ESPN, including interesting interviews with owner and experts.
Only one other contract signed by Jackie Robinson with the Dodgers is available to collectors. Established in 1949, it was sold for $ 276K by Robert Edward on April 24, 2017. It is estimated $ 200K for sale by Heritage in Dallas on February 24, lot 80070.
In 1955 Rosa Parks entered the legend of race relations when she refused to give way to a white man in an Alabama bus.

1962 Give the Ball to Wilt Chamberlain
2019 SOLD for $ 215K including premium
On December 8 Wilt scored 78 points against the Los Angeles Lakers, breaking the record of points scored in a single NBA game set in the previous year by Elgin Baylor. Observers feel that Wilt "the Dipper" can do even better with his 2.16 m and his 25 years.
On March 2, 1962 in Hershey near Philadelphia, the Warriors receive the New York Knicks. The match promises to be banal. The arena is half empty and the press dit not condescend to attend. Wilt appears in top fitness. At halftime his teammate Guy Rodgers says : "Let's get the ball to Dip. Lets's see how many he can get". Excited by the speaker, the crowd chants "Give it to Wilt".
In this match without overtime, Wilt Chamberlain scores exactly 100 points, the last of them 46 seconds before the end on the pass from a teammate who had given up an easy point for that purpose. This is the greatest feat in the history of the NBA. Even today no one else has approached such a result in a single game. Kobe Bryant will score 81 points on January 22, 2006.
The Hershey match is won by the Warriors on the epic score of 169-147. Few memories survived but part of the game court was cut into small pieces offered to fans for the 50th year of the event in 2012.
On February 11, 2012, Grey Flannel sold for $ 108K including premium an official scorecard bearing the autograph signature of the champion.
In an online sale ending on April 27, SCP Auctions sells as lot 355 another scorecard, prepared by the "statistician" of the Warriors. This document clearly identifies the 100 points scored by the champion, whose recording largely encroaches over the line scheduled for Rodgers. This document also is signed by Wilt Chamberlain.

Set in East Africa, the Middle East, Canada, and the U.S., Things Are Good Now examines the weight of the migrant experience on the human psyche. In these pages, women, men, and children who've crossed continents in search of a better life find themselves struggling with the chaos of displacement and the religious and cultural clashes they face in their new homes. A maid who travelled to the Middle East lured by the prospect of a well-paying job is trapped in the Syrian war. A female ex-freedom fighter immigrates to Canada only to be relegated to cleaning public washrooms and hospital sheets. A disillusioned civil servant struggles to come to grips with his lover's imminent departure. A young Muslim Canadian woman who'd married her way to California to escape her devout family's demands realizes she's made a mistake.
The collection is about remorse and the power of memory, about the hardships of a post-9/11 reality that labels many as suspicious or dangerous because of their names or skin colour alone, but it's also about hope and friendship and the intricacies of human relationships. Most importantly, it's about the compromises we make to belong.
From "Heading Somewhere"
Holding the corner post for balance, Sara climbs onto the patio chair. She wraps the bedsheet she's tied to the ledge like a rope around her arm and slowly climbs over her employers' second floor balcony and down to the quiet street below. A metre or so before her feet touch the ground, she loses her grip and falls on the asphalt. She gets up quickly, adjusts the duffle bag on her back and looks up towards the house. The lights have not been turned on. She takes a deep breath and searches the dark street for the ride Ahmed, her employers' gatekeeper had arranged for her. She spots an old van a few metres away. Its rear lights flash twice as agreed upon. She walks towards it as fast as she can without running.
"Get in the back," the driver says from the half-open window before Sara has a chance to make eye contact.
"Cover yourself with that blanket and keep your head down," he orders with a rushed voice.
Panic takes over as she slides the van door shut. What if this is a trap? She trusts Ahmed. He didn't let her out of the compound alone for fear of losing his job but he was nice to her. And he has delivered on the promise of finding her someone who, for a fee, would help her. But this man on the other hand could be taking her to the police station instead of the outskirts of Damascus where she's supposed to meet someone who will take her to Beirut. She shakes the distressing thought away. There is nothing she can do now but hope for the best.

Awards and Praise
A 49th Shelf Book of the Year
"This is essential fiction for right now." — Globe and Mail
"Poignant and thought-provoking . . . This collection of short stories is a great read that hits close to home." — Richmond News
"Things Are Good Now is an insightful and imaginative debut; these skillful stories have stayed with me long after I stopped reading. This is a book that is as important as it is engaging." — Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People
"Ibrahim writes with intensity and empathy, drawing believably complex characters who are understandably torn between bleak alternatives. Things Are Good Now feels fresh and raw and real. Amid the disheartening racism and sexism are the pull of patriotism, the solidity of traditionalism, and ultimately, mercifully, the power of even small glimpses of optimism." — Toronto Star
"Things Are Good Now should be included on every to-be-read list. Each story is powerful and important, and each voice, while fictional, is a perfect representation of hard truths. These voices should be heard." — This Magazine
"Abounds with literary promise . . . A worthwhile read for its intimate investigations of global unrest." — Literary Review of Canada

I am not terribly worried about this for the wedding reception since I am sure I won't have much time for eating with everything going on, but I was curious about the food for the rest of our stay. And by vegetarian, I mean no meat, not the "I eat fish and chicken" vegetarian. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dear CHA Community,
The week was wonderful from start to finish. The flowers, treats, lunch, and gifts appreciated. While these things are incredible and so very generous, our favorite part of this week, (outside of free dress and the garage door being opened for us) was the thoughtful intention we received through your actions and words. The time that was spent to make each day special demonstrates your appreciation and validates your belief that the work that we do is important. Leo Buseaglia a Special Education Professor at USC in the 1960's shares, "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential" to make a difference in someone's day. Thank you for making a difference in our day, our week and our year.

Legal updates and news from Fladgate's dispute resolution team
The Court continues to emphasise the importance of parties to litigation or potential litigation attempting to resolve their dispute by alternative means, and may penalise parties for not doing so. This article explores some of the more common alternative procedures.Read more
One of the features of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), which govern court procedure in civil actions in England and Wales, is encouraging parties to seek to resolve their dispute by means of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), rather than litigating claims all the way to trial.Read more
Last month we reported on the increasing drive in English litigation towards alternative means of resolving disputes, including proposals for the increased use of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). Now, the European Commission has published a report on the function of its online European Dispute Resolution platform, launched in January 2016. Interestingly, the report reveals that […]Read more
As part of the increasing drive towards alternative means of dispute resolution (ADR), the Civil Justice Council's ADR Working Group has published an interim report on the current and future role of various forms of ADR in civil disputes[1].

"As soon as the [coronavirus] crisis hit, we realised that this basic human need to connect with people we cared about was likely to be affected by restrictions," says Lisa Harker, director of the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory, which aims to improve the evidence for decision-making in the family justice system.
"The abrupt halt to face-to-face time with their families overnight will have had an immense psychological impact on vulnerable children," she adds.
Face-to-face contact between children in care and their families was the first thing to stop after lockdown, as well as final contact sessions between birth parents and young children about to be adopted. As family courts were closed, almost all cases were heard remotely, raising concerns that legal proceedings to take at-risk children into care would not be robust or fair.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is urging governments worldwide to pay urgent attention to the plight of millions of stateless people and to follow a set of recommendations the organization has issued today to ensure their coverage in the COVID-19 response.
"Millions of people around the world are denied a nationality and the legal rights endowed with it. They do not exist on paper and most often live on the fringes of society. Our worry is that at such a critical time, in the middle of a global pandemic, they now are at great risk of being left behind in the response," said Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Without citizenship, stateless people often do not have access to essential services, including health care, and now may also be precluded from or face obstacles in accessing coronavirus testing and treatment. Others may refrain from accessing services for fear that their legal status can put them at risk of detention or deportation.
"We must repeat that exclusion does not benefit anyone, least of all the global effort to contain the virus. The pandemic can only be beaten if everyone, regardless of their legal status, is included in the response. Nobody can be protected unless everybody is included, and that means including often invisible, stateless populations," said Grandi.

Taylor Swift might be right about her music but she sure doesn't know what goes on at Spotify.
At least that's what CEO Daniel Ek is insinuating in a new blog after the "1989" hitmaker pulled her latest album from the free streaming website claiming it did not pay enough royalty to artists.
Ek starts off saying "all the talk swirling around lately about how Spotify is making money on the backs of artists" upsets him "big time" because the talks are filled with myths that people believe are true.
In his attempt to bust those myths, Ek explains that there is a larger problem at hand – piracy.
"Two numbers: Zero and Two Billion. Piracy doesn't pay artists a penny – nothing, zilch, zero. Spotify has paid more than two billion dollars to labels, publishers and collecting societies for distribution to songwriters and recording artists."
Ek goes on to explain how Spotify has paid a billion dollars to artists since the time they started in 2008 to 2013 and another billion in the past one year!
He added that if the royalty money "is not flowing to the creative community in a timely and transparent way, that's a big problem" and Spotify will do "anything" to resolve that and work toward creating a better environment for both artists and fans.
Taylor Swift told Yahoo in an interview last week that posting her music on Spotify felt like a grand experiment that didn't feel right to her.
"...I'm not willing to contribute my life's work to an experiment that I don't feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists and creators of this music. And I just don't agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free," she said.
From a more business point of view, Swift's label CEO Scott Borchetta said in an interview on Nikki Sixx's show:
"We never wanted to embarrass a fan. If this fan went and purchased the record, CD, iTunes, wherever, and then their friends go, 'Why did you pay for it? It's free on Spotify.' We're being completely disrespectful to that superfan who wants to invest."
Borchetta added that many other artists and producers were with them on the Spotify issue.
"It's already happening. I've had calls from so many other managers and artists. There's a big fist in the air about this. Spotify is a really good service. They just need to be a better partner, and there is a lot of support for this," he said.
But this is what Ek wants everybody to understand:
"Our interests are totally aligned with yours. Even if you don't believe that's our goal, look at our business. Our whole business is to maximize the value of your music. We don't use music to drive sales of hardware or software. We use music to get people to pay for music. The more we grow, the more we'll pay you. We're going to be transparent about it all the way through. And we have a big team of your fellow artists here because if you think we haven't done well enough, we want to know, and we want to do better. None of that is ever going to change."
