Israel Accuses Russia Of Supporting Iran Terror Organizations, Says Iran Has Enough Material For 4 Nuclear Bombs
Just because 3 US aircraft carriers in the Arabian Gulf are not enough, Israel's Lt General Benny Gantz hit the airwaves earlier today, with some additional pot stirring, and some fresh allegations which will hardly appeal to Russia, who is already using Syria as a military ship docking station (and allegedly supplying arms to the local regime). And while his statement that Iran has "enough material to create 4 nuclear bombs" may be debated, what is more concerning is his allegation that "[Iran terror organizations are] supported by Syria, Iran and even Russia." What next: the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier floating gingerly between the various US CVNs in the region just keeping everyone on their toes in international waters?
From the Israel Defense Forces blog:
Yesterday, the IDF chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz spoke at the annual Herzliya Conference and addressed Israel's security situation. The following are the main excerpts from his speech:
"Iran is working towards military nuclear capabilities and can be fully armed within a year… Iran is a global, regional and Israeli threat and problem."
"[Terror organizations are] supported by Syria, Iran and even Russia who continues sending ammunition to Syria. The Middle East is currently arming more than any other region in the world, and we are the target of all this ammunition."
"Every region in Israel is currently under threat… our enemies are trying to create a military system that skips Israel's defense capabilities and directly targets the strategic depth of the State of Israel."
"The world must continue isolating Iran… the pressure and financial sanctions should be continued as they are beginning to sprout results, even within Iran… We continue building powerful, impressive, trustworthy, prepared, and well-trained military capabilities, and we must be ready to employ them, if the need arises."
"The IDF greatly strengthened during the last few years and previous gaps have been matched. It is crucial that we maintain this trend for future obstacles aren't any less challenging. We need as much accurate, continuous power as possible that will bring us to an undisputed, fast victory over our enemies."
Today, following the chief of staff's speech, IDF Head of Military Intelligence, Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi spoke at the conference as well:
"Iran has enough material to create four nuclear bombs. It continues developing such material and claims that it is doing so for peaceful and civilian purposes."
"Iran is nearly capable of acquiring nuclear weapons. It is not dependent on additional development but rather a matter of decision."
"The enemy is disappearing from the battle field, and if in the past a company commander would look through binoculars at the battle field and see the enemy, today against Lebanon or Gaza we will not see anything. Every tenth house in Lebanon serves as a missile storage facility or a rocket launching site."

i think you need to take a wider view of it all. the state of Israel (soon after creation) was and is used as an incendiary device to keep the entire ME unstable and the muslims were all too happy to oblige. the reason...oil and the $ (global reserve currency). you may say, wait...doesn't ME instability make oil more expensive? yes, yes it does and those who control the oil through production, distribution and currency have enriched themselves like never before. also, with regional stability there would be no excuse to invade these lands (MIC) and impose global central banker friendly regimes. Israel is the sideshow, the "American Idol focul point for the masses" to avert eyes from what is really going on with the NWO. the sate of Isreal and the Zionists are the puppets of the NWO plan (not the ultimate controllers) simply a vehicle to further global goals and to distract the world. once it's usefullness is complete, they will be discarded and then the NWO will focus on China and Russia until it has complete control. those who belive the the Jews and/or Zionists are the NWO are not looking quite deep enough.
Hey, jackass. You take that back right now. My Chihuahua is very loving and generous, doesn't feel entitled to differential treatment, and doesn't view me as an animal to be controlled and harvested for maximum cash. And comparing her to these vile people who rule the world, well, it's just wrong, and I'm gonna take my ball and go home now.
our cats and dogs bring us so much laughter and warmth, perhaps one time when taking your ball and going home is warranted :)
Chihuahuas have to be very hyper aware, they are but snacks to the big dogs.
Now when Wolves are about, even the Dogs are dead quiet for fear of life.
Every tenth house in Lebanon serves as a missile storage facility or a rocket launching site.
This sounds like one hell of an assertion. Guess Major Generals are lying politicians too.
Correction. Major generals are lying military dogs waiting to retire to become lying politicians.
This is a ploy to justify the random missile fire coming from Israel landing on people's houses. Nice fella. If anything, a contrary indicator. US forces there to protect what already flows, a screen. Israel will lob missiles over the screen.
Fuck Israel. Fuck the United Nations. Fuck the bankers. Fuck the globalists.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK.
Move the United Nations to Yemen where it could do the world some real good for a change.
Got damn, that would be OUTSTANDING!
if Israel got wiped off the face of the map, again that hurts America how ?
Hey, than we can end the fed, bring back normal currency, wipe-out debt, kill MSMs, clean the house, restore constitution and live quite ... normally...
...no that was a joke...
Who the fuck do the Israelis think they are telling Russia what to do? Israel is allied with the USA (they are backed by a dying empire) so they had better enjoy calling the shots on this planet because I suspect its not going to last much longer.
am afraid its a little bit vice versa
when people figure out the dirty game masters, that will be fast and furious...
zionists have their filthy hairy tentacles in almost every country on earth. Putin has been aware of this for some time, and is giving them the good fight in Russia. But that fight is far from over.
in looking back into the genesis of Russia (USSR) and Israel, they both spring from exactly the same governing group. Their funding came from (and still comes from) the same governing group. To say that Israel is tweaking Russia with provocative language is to see illusion. To see the stage play is something else.
you may want to take a look at modern Russia and you will see that Putin heads an interest group that is antithetical to the originators of the USSR. Russia is self-funded at this point. The oligarch parasites who had taken over the country in collapse (same as Weimar) were run out and forced to flee with their 2nd passports.
trav you are not completely stupid man...
exactly right. Putin is at war with a zionist shadow government, and he is winning. Note Hillary Clinton pushing protests this year to get rid of Putin... enough said.
Some of those oligarchs are still there.
"The enemy is disappearing from the battle field, and if in the past a company commander would look through binoculars at the battle field and see the enemy, today against Lebanon or Gaza we will not see anything. Every tenth house in Lebanon serves as a missile storage facility or a rocket launching site."
Why is this a problem? How does it support the meat of this guy's argument?
Well, some Merkevas were holed by some nice Russian Missiles in that area.
They apparently have a app for that now.
Oh, good, Jew-bashing, that never gets old around here!
Throw them into ovens!
Hug Mohammadan cultists with dreams of the West in nuclear ashes!
Everything would be beautiful if we would just let everybody be, no matter how batshit crazy they are!
Utopia is near!
Vote Ron Paul!
Hey Kralizec nothing from stopping you from joining the army and going to fight Israel's battles for it.
Last I checked Israel was an ally, well, used to be anyway, but can still handle her own issues. Thanks for the advice though.
If they can look after themselves why do you care what people on zerohedge post about them? Touched a nerve there...
Why do we send our poor white, black and hispanic young men to fight their battles if they can look after themselves?
I recoil at anyone who singles out a group of people previously targeted by some of the most evil people in human history, some of the stuff posted here at ZH could come right out of Mein Kampf or a rant by the Iranian President or Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood. Really, are some people here so depraved that this is where you go? So, a nerve, yeah, you might say that. It might interest you to know that not every Jew is out to kill you or steal your money, but from what I read here sometimes that message has zero chance of resonating.
And I must have missed something, I am unaware any battle we are fighting on behalf of Israel. Obama himself is not exactly a friend of Israel.
Everytime a carrier shows up in the gulf people here go batshit crazy, convinced the dark helicopters are set loose to start wars over oil (what, a lot of Code Pink, MoveOn & Daily Kos refugees here or what?) balh blah blah and when nothing happens I swear some people here are disappointed hell hasn't been unleashed.
I love the economic and market discussions here, but Dear God anything else draws out moonbats by the bushel!
I guess it is what it is.
Sometimes saying something on line that one is censored from saying in real life is a release valve. Think about it, I can say I don't like Armenians and people won't know what I mean, I can say I don't trust Ukrainians and get away with it, I can say that Hutus are thugs and people will shrug but say something about Jews and more than likely you'll destroy your career. Most of us like to point out hypocrisy and what makes Israel and Jews so untouchable, why are they given consideration when Armenians and Ukrainians aren't?
I watched and laughed my ass off watching Jon Stewart last night and I'd give the guy a big hug if he was here now, there are many Jews in the west who speak the truth. It is not the fault of Jewish individuals that the people who control the militairy industrial complex and Israel happen to identify themselves as "jews".
When six million are eliminated and millions more enslaved and every Muslim nation on earth wants you annihilated, well, if that is what it takes to be defined "untouchable" then I guess they (as a group) earned it.
As for me, I find it much more beneficial and much more productive to target my angst on people directly.
For instance, I think Bernanke is screwing us over, I target him, I don't target Zionists, Jews, etc. A broad brush covers a lot, and creates a bigger mess when a smaller brush can do the job.
Just my 2 cents.
That 6 million crap is a ploy used to hide the crimes committed by jews. And if the jews didn't act as a group to screw Germany in WWI there wouldn't have been Hitler or Nazis:
And the jew supremacists change the subject.
Wrong, not a Jew, not a supremacist.
The subject was six million dead Jews, which I guess you either deny or condone.
Try again.
Why aren't you more concerned with the tens of millions murdered by jews if you are not a jew?
The Jews as a race killed 10 million eh, impressive, who were they?
I'm not surprised that you didn't answer the previous question.
First off, jewish capitalists funded jewish communists-interesting teamwork, don't you think? The Red Terror, engineered by Trotsky, Sverlov and Lenin, was just a warmup:
The Russian Communists plan to strategically use terror to intimidate their White adversaries into submission. On orders from Lenin and Trotsky, the "Red Terror" is announced by the Jewish Red Yakov Sverlov. The Red Terror is marked by mass arrests in the middle of the night, executions, and hideously creative tactics of torture. As many as 100,000 Russians are murdered in the Red Terror, carried out by Jewish-run Cheka (secret police). .

As many as 100,000 Russians are murdered in the Red Terror, carried out by Jewish-run Cheka (secret police).
.Among the verified atrocities committed, often in view of victim's family members, are:
*40,000 White prisoners publicly hanged in the Ukraine
* Burning coals inserted in women's vaginas
* Crucifixions Rapes
* Victims submerged in boiling oil or tar
* Victims placed in coffins filled with hungry rats
* Victims soaked with water, and left to turn into human ice-cubes in the winter weather.
* Priests, monks, and nuns have molten lead poured down their throats and are burned alive.
The demoralizing terror takes a heavy psychological toll on the frightened Russian people.
By 1922, many will have been broken into total submission to the Red monsters of the dreaded Cheka.
From Wiki:
The Red Terror in Soviet Russia was a campaign of mass arrests, executions, and atrocities conducted by the Bolshevik government. In Soviet historiography, the Red Terror is described as having been officially announced on September 2, 1918 by Yakov Sverdlov and ended about October 1918.
So if your criteria is the sins of one become the sins of all, then let us kill - Germans, Swedes, Danes, French, Italians, Egyptians, Angolans, Lybians, Algerians, oh hell we'd have to kill everybody!
The Holodomor (Ukrainian translation Killing by hunger) was a man-made famine occurring mainly in the Ukrainian Republic of the Soviet Union during 1932-33. The famine was caused partly by the folly of Stalin's latest socialist scheme, and partly due to a deliberate, strategic terror plan engineered by Stalin's powerful Jewish brother-in-law, Lazar Kaganovich.
From Wiki:
Kaganovich was born in 1893 to Jewish parents in the village of Kabany, Radomyshl uyezd, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire (now named Dibrova, Poliske Raion, Kiev Oblast, Ukraine). Early in his political career, in 1915, Kaganovich became a Communist organizer for a shoe factory where he worked.
The Holodomor (Ukrainian: literal translation Killing by hunger) was a man-made famine in the Ukrainian SSR between 1932 and 1933. During the famine, which is also known as the "terror-famine in Ukraine" and "famine-genocide in Ukraine", millions of Ukrainians died of starvation in a peacetime catastrophe unprecedented in the history of Ukraine.[4]
Early estimates of the death toll by scholars and government officials varied greatly; anywhere from 1.8[5] to 12 million[6] ethnic Ukrainians were said to have been killed as a result of the famine.
Jewish-run Cheka???
Cheka... signed into existance by Lenin. That Cheka? The Cheka run by a revolutionary hero who was Polish?
Please provide us with some more information that links this organization as some Jewish operated/funded police force within the Soviet Union.
No doubt Cheka committed some brutal crimes. I just need more than your words that combine the two.
Lenin was part jewish and always spoke highly of jews. Some of the other top Bolsheviks who were said not to be jews were also probably jews or part jewish like early Cheka leader Dhervinski, and Beria. Other top Bolsheviks like Stalin and Molotov were married to jewesses. From an israeli newsite:
An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf."
Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.
Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the Nazi horrors and Mao's terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.
The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.
Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of "our hangmen," who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.
Thanks RC... I'll dig more into it and I appreciate your reply and level response.
Here's some more:
Under Lenin, Jews became involved in all aspects of the Revolution, including its dirtiest work. Despite the Communists' vows to eradicate anti-Semitism, it spread rapidly after the Revolution -- partly because of the prominence of so many Jews in the Soviet administration, as well as in the traumatic, inhuman Sovietization drives that followed. Historian Salo Baron has noted that an immensely disproportionate number of Jews joined the new Bolshevik secret police, the Cheka And many of those who fell afoul of the Cheka would be shot by Jewish investigators.
The collective leadership that emerged in Lenin's dying days was headed by the Jew Zinoviev, a loquacious, mean-spirited, curly-haired Adonis whose vanity knew no bounds.
"Anyone who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Cheka," wrote Jewish historian Leonard Schapiro, "stood a very good chance of finding himself confronted with, and possibly shot by, a Jewish investigator."20 In Ukraine, "Jews made up nearly 80 percent of the rank-and-file Cheka agents," reports W. Bruce Lincoln, an American professor of Russian history.21 (Beginning as the Cheka, or Vecheka) the Soviet secret police was later known as the GPU, OGPU, NKVD, MVD and KGB.)http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v14/v14n1p-4_Weber.html
In light of all this, it should not be surprising that Yakov M. Yurovksy, the leader of the Bolshevik squad that carried out the murder of the Tsar and his family, was Jewish, as was Sverdlov, the Soviet chief who co-signed Lenin's execution order.22
Igor Shafarevich, a Russian mathematician of world stature, has sharply criticized the Jewish role in bringing down the Romanov monarchy and establishing Communist rule in his country. Shafarevich was a leading dissident during the final decades of Soviet rule. A prominent human rights activist, he was a founding member of the Committee on the Defense of Human Rights in the USSR.
In Russophobia, a book written ten years before the collapse of Communist rule, he noted that Jews were "amazingly" numerous among the personnel of the Bolshevik secret police. The characteristic Jewishness of the Bolshevik executioners, Shafarevich went on, is most conspicuous in the execution of Nicholas II.

We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish
Stalin's Jews
Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were JewishPublished: 12.21.06, 23:35 / Israel Opinion
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB. We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags. Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members" who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.

Each year, in the form of dissertations, theses, major papers and major projects, graduate students in the Faculty of Environmental Studies produce some of the best and most original scholarship within the York University community. The purpose of the Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Series is to recognize exceptional MES major papers and projects and to make them available to a broader readership (all dissertations are available from the National Archives of Canada).
The topics of the papers published through the series vary as widely as the research interests of the Faculty's graduate students. The papers address many of the issues typically associated with the natural environment, such as conservation, pollution and climate change, but also focus on other issues affecting or affected by the environment, such as health, politics, economics, planning and design, ethics, culture and technology. All of the works strive to reveal the complexity underlying and linking social and environmental problems and solutions. In past years, topics have included regional-development planning in the Czech Republic, idealizations of the female body in writing and photography, citizenship and the democratic process, First Nations story telling and political and environmental discourse, the ethics of disrupting and restoring nature, heritage conservation and interpretation, the biotechnology industry in global environmental politics, and environmental decline and disaster as the basis of refugee status.
Since 2000, the series has been published electronically. Papers from the 1999 series or earlier are still available as separately published works through the Faculty's publications office. For copies, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Justice on the Rocks: (Re)Writing People and Place in Banff National Park
By: Adam Linnard (2015)Vol. 21 No. 5 ISSN 1702-3548(online)
Banff National Park is most commonly and powerfully representedas a place intended for wealthy tourists to experience leisure and for "all Canadians" to encounter "the essence of Canada," representations that emphasize transience, leisure, safety and abstract notions of nature and nation. These institutional narratives of place validate management decisions that alienate residents and motivate them to assert special claims to belonging that distinguish between the local who belongs and those who are out of place. My first argument, developed through a survey of creative non-fiction and fiction literature of the Rocky Mountain Parks, is that literature has been a key sight forarticulating such claims and setting such distinctions, as evident in recurrent emphasis on permanence, work, risk and place-based knowledge. Supported by the work of scholars and activists in environmental justice and the related fields of critical race, gender, queer, disability and Indigenous studies, my second argument is that the dominant narratives of Rocky Mountain literature, while resisting institutional narratives and promoting Banff National Park as a co-creation of more-than-human assemblage, inscribe a highly privileged framework for belonging. Such a framework naturalizes white, masculine, heterosexual and able bodies through their engagement with rugged wilderness landscapes and other-than-human animals while negating, excluding or marginalizing those who do not conform. This paper goes on to present a series of Banff National Park stories, derived from walking interviews and textual research, that historicize, politicize and otherwise confound naturalized normativity without abandoning efforts to narrate more-than-human co-creation of Banff National Park spaces. These stories are told in two sections – one which takes place in the wilderness setting of Saskatchewan River Crossing and the other within the urban Banff town site – and attempt to disseminate experiences of making a home in theparticular social and environmental landscapes of Banff National Park that are complicated by intersections of race, gender, sexuality, nationalism,capitalism, religion, Indigeneity and class. This paper argues that those resisting institutional processes of exclusion in Banff National Park must interrogate their own privilege if they hope to promote anything approaching environmental justice in the Canadian Rockies, while simultaneously attempting to model new narratives by engaging with and privileging a variety of claims to place that destabilize my own, including stories of Indigenous displacement, imprisoned labour, gender queer performance and racialized migrant labour.
Cultivating Critical Learning: Critical Food Pedagogy in FoodShare's School Grown Program
By: Cassie Wever (2015)Vol.20 No. 1 7 ISSN 1702-3548 (online)
There are numerous problems created by the industrial food system. These include redefining the relationship between eaters and their food as one between a consumer and a product, and the concomitant consumer deskilling and lack of knowledge around all aspects of food production; impacts to human and ecological health; struggles for farmers; a loss of culture and sense of place; numerous forms of injustice; and the gross misuse of waste as an industrial output, rather than an ecological input. Academics, activists, not for profit organizations, and laypeople often state that better education around food can help to solve these issues, at least in part. However, this raises questions around the purpose, praxis, and impacts of food education, and its role in change: Can food education programs teach a critical perspective on the food system? Or do they reinforce dominant paradigms around food while teaching only particular aspects of food literacy? This paper seeks todetermine what knowledge and skills students gain in FoodShare's School Grown program, a secondary school market garden-based food and employment education program. It then asks whether the knowledge and skills gained foster acritical/emancipatory perspective or learning on the food system. It uses a case-study approach relying most heavily on interviews with the program coordinator, five graduated students, two teachers, two principals, a social worker, and a guidance counselor at the two schools involved in the program, as well as program documents, direct observation, and publicly available media. The paper begins by exploring issues in the industrial food system for which education is often purported to be a part of the solution. It then outlines the theoretical framework of critical food pedagogy and several related concepts: ecological literacy, transformative learning, and critical place-based pedagogy. These concepts are applied to the idea of food literacy, building off of the work of Goldstein (2014) and Sumner (2012) to create metrics for measuring three kinds of food literacy: empirical/analytic, historical/hermeneutic, and critical/emancipatory. The paper explores related models of school gardens, farm-to-school programs, and youth employment market gardens before describing FoodShare's School Grown program model and the results of the research. The data indicates that the program greatly impacts personal and interpersonal knowledge and skills, employment skills and opportunities, overall learning skills, and builds empirical/analytic and historical/hermeneutic food literacy knowledge and skills. In terms of critical/emancipatory learning, the program fosters and supports the beginnings of critical/emancipatory perspectives on food and related systems. The program also builds skills and knowledge that are linked to prosocial and proenvironmental attitudes and behaviours, and are ultimately related to critical/emancipatory learning, such as a sense of personal and group competency. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for supporting critical food pedagogy in the School Grown program. The findings can inform all food education programs that wish to foster critical perspectives on the food system.
Food and Fiction: Literature and Creative Writing as Food Pedagogy
By: Genevieve Fullan (2015)Vol. 21 No. 6 ISSN 1702-3548(online)
Writing about food has proliferated in the last few yearsand in many ways has been responsible for propelling the food movement, which can be broadly defined as the movement against alienating corporate industrial agriculture, into the mainstream. With the food memoir, or food alienation drama, becoming almost as ubiquitous as the nature memoir, this paper gives due attention to the works of fiction that perhaps less obviously deal with food issues, but nonetheless offer valuable insight. Food is always already storied and stories about food occupy a unique place in that every reader has their own material experience with food. Each reader has their own varied experiences with food and as such they bring with them a wide range of assumptions and understandings based on the role that food occupies in their lives. Both reading and writing offer a moment of intervention into those assumptions. Stories, particularly as they take shape in the novel, have the unique ability to transform our understanding by engaging readers beyond informationtransmission, making literature an important component of food pedagogy. Creative writing engages the mind and engages language in a way that is different from more formal academic writing, but in a way that is just as valuable. This paper consists of ecocritical readings of two novels—Timothy Taylor's Stanley Park and Eden Robinson's Monkey Beach—using food as the primary lens, as well as creative responses to those novels, in order to explore how both reading and writing offer different modes of research and inquiry. Together, ecocritical reading and creative writing offer complementary methods of food pedagogy that enhance and enrich the more common hands on approaches of current food pedagogy practices.
ʻThe public' and planning in Toronto
By: Nadia Galati (2015)Vol.20 No. 1 8 ISSN 1702-3548 (online)
As both a science and an art, planning is regulated by public policy, concerned with shaping and guiding the physical growth and arrangement of natural and built environments. Within these environments what is considered ʻpublic' and how ʻthe public' is used in planning discourses and planning tools is based on constantly changing, socio-political contexts. Shaped by planning decisions, ʻthe public' often learns about transformations of urban space through stories in the media. These planning stories help ʻthe public' understand and relate to their physical environments by ascribing meaning to space. Through a case study of the Mirvish + Gehry development, this research substantiates the importance of telling a good story about ʻthe public' and ʻthe public good' in relation to development. Mirvish + Gehry invested heavily in telling their version of a planning story. By funding and staging numerous appearances, centred on the benefits of his development, Mirvish embodied his story and his development's brand by exercising his social leverage, capital, power and privilege, all of which afforded him the attention of the media and therefore ʻthe public.' In a Toronto context, place-based psychological ties to the community – like the Mirvish family history – are often found in discourses of legacy, art and the future. These ties have become useful tools for private and public development to build emotional connection to spatial environments. Both theoretically and in practice, planning stories help to build support and ʻcommon-sense' application of future, public spaces, by leveraging current placebased attachments through neoliberal narratives in the media. Developers and politicians have realized the potential of partnering with arts communities, through growth coalitions, to tell more persuasive and poignant stories. As MP Adam Vaughan stated (Galati 2015c), it is the "coolness factor" that arts and culture bring to development that helps it stand out in a fiercely competitive global market.
Neoliberalism,nature, and buen vivir: Diverse and divergent pathways to living well in Ecuador
By: Jan Kucic-Riker (2015)Vol. 21 No. 7 ISSN 1702-3548 (online)
Through a case study of buen vivir in Ecuador this paper considers the challenge of building postcapitalist alternatives and reimagining wellbeing as separate from economic growth in the context of globalization. Buen vivir is an adaptation of the Quechuan concept sumak kawsay, meaning to "live well" which rests on preserving (or regaining) a state of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The "living well" of Andean indigenous societies differs from the "living better" of industrialized civilization insofar as it must not come at the expense of others or the environment. I contend that buen vivir emerges out of a longer history of neoliberal development and colonialism in Latin America and provides a pathway from which to transcend the legacy of these systems. I argue that the incorporation of buen vivir into Ecuador's 2008 constitution and its national development plan is more an attempt at moulding buen vivir to fit with existing state structures than at remaking those structures in a fashion that resonates with the ethos of buen vivir . I claim that many substantive differences exist between the state's reading of buen vivir and indigenous understandings of sumak kawsay and that these are a source of contradictions in the policies and programs seeking to operationalize alternatives to conventional development models in the country. Through considering recent decisions over oil, mineral, and water governance, I suggest that the state pursues an export driven growth model dependent on theextraction of raw materials that leaves Ecuador's submissive form of insertion in the global market unquestioned. While the insertion of sumak kawsay into Ecuadorian political discourse by no means bridges the Andean and Western cultural worlds nor does it transcend the ontological divide between humans and nature, it frees the state to think outside of dominant economic and political narratives. I conclude that buen vivir 's success depends not on its realization of a post-capitalist and post-colonial order, but on its ability to prepare the ground from which such alternatives can take root.

Thanks for helping us on this thread, Don'tBeAfraid!!
I agree, I changed my sheets 3 times in a 7 day period and it felt great to smell and touch clean linens.
Update: this morning I coughed a little blood...that was freaky! But all in all doing better, though breathing is an exercise.
Smells are an important function of health care. Some smells are "clean", Smells like citrus, because it cuts through other scents, and imparts a freshness to the room of the patient. It also promotes calm when using citrus. Soap naturally has a clean smell.
The patient has lost their sense of smell sometimes as the nasal passage is impacted (exceeding stuffed full) with congested dried out infected mucus and blood. They can't smell that they're clean a lot of the time, so they neglect to clean themselves.
The ones who can smell, are refeshed by clean smells, and sometimes it makes them realize, "Oh heck, I need to shower, so I get better..." It's important for this reason as then you're not getting on their ass about cleaning up, and so creating resistance to cleaning.
Asthma patients are very allergic, and using perfume when helping a sick asthma patient, or visiting them, will irritate their already irritated lungs. Don't wear perfume or heavily scented lotion when around them. It can trigger a coughing spell.

Hinamatsuri Manga
Name: Hinamatsuri

Author: Ohtake Masao
Artist: Ohtake Masao
From MangaHelpers:
You should update first post with a cover and a short blurb for people who don't know what it is. Anyways, yeah, it's a really cute and funny manga.
So far it has been absolutely brilliant! Hitomi has been my favorite character so far, her reaction and incidents she goes through are just hilarious.
Anyone still reading this?
The recent chapters with Anzu was really nice, funny and touching at the same time. I am quite impressed that this manga can have that kinda of moment. I thought it would be pure comedy.
I do and just finished new chapter.
Poor Nita:(
Ok this manga is bloody hilarious. The father-daughter dynamic is overplayed but the mangaka still manages to keep it fresh by having him as a Yakuza. Mods should fix the thread title though, It's Hinamatsuri.
Latest chapter (48) has 3 years timeskip. Hina is now highschooler.
Wonder what wil Hitomi be like three years from now? She probably conquered half of Japan at the rate she was going.
I kinda suspect that the esper organization in the future was founded by Hitomi
all of this is some recursive time loop that makes the future possible
Fing hell, this new chapter was godlike. And damn, how does Hitomi manages her time of running a company and going to school.
It's Hitomi.
Ask mods to fix the tittle.

Cal turns from first-half flop into second-half success
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Geoff McArthur ignored his separated
shoulder, reaching high above his head to snare California's
go-ahead touchdown pass.
A few anxious minutes later, Oregon's final throw ricocheted off
Keith Allen's hands and dropped to the grass, ending the Ducks'
upset bid.
After 853 yards of offense, everything came down to two passes --
and the Golden Bears (No. 6 ESPN/USA Today; No. 4 AP) caught the ball and the breaks.
McArthur caught eight passes for 121 yards and two scores, and
Cal stopped the Ducks near midfield with 1:39 left in a 28-27
victory Saturday.
With Orange Bowl scouts watching closely, the Bears (7-1, 5-1
Pac-10) responded to their first adversity in a month with a solid
second-half performance. But they also needed the luck of Allen's
crucial drop to avoid a loss that could have crushed their Bowl
Championship Series dreams.
"Winning the close games is everything," said McArthur, who
became Cal's career leader in receptions. "That one could have
gone either way, depending on the fourth quarter. We got a good
break at the end, but if he'd caught that ball, who knows?"
Aaron Rodgers passed for 275 yards and three TDs, and J.J.
Arrington ran for 188 yards and a score for the Bears, who fell
behind 27-14 in the second quarter.
McArthur's wordless communication with Rodgers set up the Bears'
final score on a 19-yard TD pass with 13:25 to play. In the huddle
before the play, Rodgers simply looked at McArthur -- and the
receiver split two defenders to receive the near-perfect pass.
But they couldn't enjoy it until Allen bobbled the final throw
that could have put the Ducks well within field goal range. After
Cal's Tom Schneider missed a 40-yard field goal with 4:20 left,
Kellen Clemens drove Oregon 36 yards to the Cal 41, but threw four
straight incompletions.
"I was standing on the bench, and they ran a play that we have,
so I knew (Allen) would be open," Rodgers said. "I couldn't
believe it. I jumped way too far off the bench. I could have got
Clemens threw four touchdown passes in the first half for the
Ducks (5-4, 4-2), who seemed headed for an upset after a dominant
first half.
But two key mistakes haunted them: Jared Siegel missed an extra
point in the first quarter, and Allen disappointed the Ducks' huge
fan contingent at Memorial Stadium.
Cal snapped a seven-game losing streak against Oregon with coach
Jeff Tedford's first victory over the school where he served as
Mike Bellotti's offensive coordinator for four years.
"I only had time to go 'Whoo!' when it landed," Tedford said
of Oregon's final play. "It was a gut-wrencher. Winning the close
games is the difference between programs that have success and
don't. It's a different season if you don't."
Allen stayed flat on his face for several moments while the
Bears celebrated, but Clemens raced over to console his teammate.
Clemens hesitated for several moments when asked about the final
"I felt good about the throw," he said eventually.
Tight end Tim Day caught two of Clemens' four TD passes before
getting hurt, and Terrence Whitehead ran for 91 yards as the Ducks'
four-game winning streak ended.
Cal's defense posted consecutive shutouts for the first time
since 1968 in its last two games, but Clemens and his teammates
embarrassed the Bears' defenders with 302 yards in the first half.
The Ducks scored 20 points in 2:24 midway through the first
Oregon went ahead 27-14 on Marcus Maxwell's 7-yard TD catch, but
Rodgers and McArthur connected twice on a 75-yard drive in 85
seconds shortly before halftime.
Cal made four sustained drives in the second half -- but thanks
to Schneider's two missed field goals and a fumble by freshman
Robert Jordan, the Bears got just seven points.
Arrington got his eighth straight 100-yard rushing game as the
Bears relentlessly ran the ball after halftime. With his top four
receivers and tight end Garrett Cross either sidelined or slowed by
injuries, Rodgers still went 21-of-32.
"They controlled the line of scrimmage in the second half,"
Bellotti said. "We needed to do a better job of running the ball.
There's no moral victory."
