Trincq est ung mot panomphée, célébré et entendu de toutes nations, et nous signifie, beuuez. Et ici maintenons que non rire, ains boyre est le propre de l'homme. Je ne dy boyre simplement et absolument, car aussy bien boyvent les bestes; je dy boyre vin bon et fraiz. — Rabelais: 1. v. c. 45.
Some guests remained. Some departed and returned. Among these was Mr. MacBorrowdale. One day after dinner, on one of his reappearances, Lord Curryfin said to him —
'Well, Mr. MacBorrowdale, in your recent observations, have you found anything likely to satisfy Jack of Dover, if he were prosecuting his inquiry among us?'
Mr. MacBorrowdale. Troth, no, my lord. I think, if he were among us, he would give up the search as hopeless. He found it so in his own day, and he would find it still more so now. Jack was both merry and wise. We have less mirth in practice; and we have more wisdom in pretension, which Jack would not have admitted.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. He would have found it like Juvenal's search for patriotic virtue, when Catiline was everywhere, and Brutus and Cato were nowhere.1
Lord Curryfin. Well, among us, if Jack did not find his superior, or even his equal, he would not have been at a loss for company to his mind. There is enough mirth for those who choose to enjoy it, and wisdom too, perhaps as much as he would have cared for. We ought to have more wisdom, as we have clearly more science.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. Science is one thing, and wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers. If you look at the results which science has brought in its train, you will find them to consist almost wholly in elements of mischief. See how much belongs to the word Explosion alone, of which the ancients knew nothing. Explosions of powder-mills and powder-magazines; of coal-gas in mines and in houses; of high-pressure engines in ships and boats and factories. See the complications and refinements of modes of destruction, in revolvers and rifles and shells and rockets and cannon. See collisions and wrecks and every mode of disaster by land and by sea, resulting chiefly from the insanity for speed, in those who for the most part have nothing to do at the end of the race, which they run as if they were so many Mercuries speeding with messages from Jupiter. Look at our scientific drainage, which turns refuse into poison. Look at the subsoil of London, whenever it is turned up to the air, converted by gas leakage into one mass of pestilent blackness, in which no vegetation can flourish, and above which, with the rapid growth of the ever-growing nuisance, no living thing will breathe with impunity. Look at our scientific machinery, which has destroyed domestic manufacture, which has substituted rottenness for strength in the thing made, and physical degradation in crowded towns for healthy and comfortable country life in the makers. The day would fail, if I should attempt to enumerate the evils which science has inflicted on mankind. I almost think it is the ultimate destiny of science to exterminate the human race.
Lord Curryfin. You have gone over a wide field, which we might exhaust a good bin of claret in fully discussing. But surely the facility of motion over the face of the earth and sea is both pleasant and profitable. We may now see the world with little expenditure of labour or time.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. You may be whisked over it, but you do not see it. You go from one great town to another, where manners and customs are not even now essentially different, and with this facility of intercourse become progressively less and less so. The intermediate country — which you never see, unless there is a show mountain, or waterfall, or ruin, for which there is a station, and to which you go as you would to any other exhibition — the intermediate country contains all that is really worth seeing, to enable you to judge of the various characteristics of men and the diversified objects of Nature.
Lord Curryfin. You can suspend your journey if you please, and see the intermediate country, if you prefer it.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. But who does prefer it? You travel round the world by a hand-book, as you do round an exhibition-room by a catalogue.
Mr. MacBorrowdale. Not to say that in the intermediate country you are punished by bad inns and bad wine; of which I confess myself intolerant. I knew an unfortunate French tourist, who had made the round of Switzerland, and had but one expression for every stage of his journey: Mauvaise auberge!
Lord Curryfin. Well, then, what say you to the electric telegraph, by which you converse at the distance of thousands of miles? Even across the Atlantic, as no doubt we shall yet do.
Mr. Gryll. Some of us have already heard the doctor's opinion on that subject.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. I have no wish to expedite communication with the Americans. If we could apply the power of electrical repulsion to preserve us from ever hearing anything more of them, I should think that we had for once derived a benefit from science.
Mr. Gryll. Your love for the Americans, doctor, seems something like that of Cicero's friend Marius for the Greeks. He would not take the nearest road to his villa, because it was called the Greek Road.2 Perhaps if your nearest way home were called the American Road, you would make a circuit to avoid it.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. I am happy to say I am not put to the test. Magnetism, galvanism, electricity, are 'one form of many names.'3 Without magnetism we should never have discovered America; to which we are indebted for nothing but evil; diseases in the worst forms that can afflict humanity, and slavery in the worst form in which slavery can cast. The Old World had the sugar-cane and the cotton-plant, though it did not so misuse them. Then, what good have we got from America? What good of any kind, from the whole continent and its islands, from the Esquimaux to Patagonia?
Mr. Gryll. Newfoundland salt-fish, doctor.
The Rev. Dr. Opindan. That is something, but it does not turn the scale.
Mr. Gryll. If they have given us no good, we have given them none.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. We have given them wine and classical literature; but I am afraid Bacchus and Minerva have equally "Scattered their bounty upon barren ground."
On the other hand, we have given the red men rum, which has been the chief instrument of their perdition. On the whole, our intercourse with America has been little else than an interchange of vices and diseases.
Lord Curryfin. Do you count it nothing to have substituted civilised for savage men?
The Rev, Dr. Opimian. Civilised. The word requires definition. But looking into futurity, it seems to me that the ultimate tendency of the change is to substitute the worse for the better race; the Negro for the Red Indian. The Red Indian will not work for a master. No ill-usage will make him. Herein he is the noblest specimen of humanity that ever walked the earth. Therefore, the white man exterminates his race. But the time will come when by mere force of numbers the black race will predominate, and exterminate the white. And thus the worse race will be substituted for the better, even as it is in St. Domingo, where the Negro has taken the place of the Caraib. The change is clearly for the worse.
Lord Curryfin. You imply that in the meantime the white race is better than the red.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. I leave that as an open question. But I hold, as some have done before me, that the human mind degenerates in America, and that the superiority, such as it is, of the white race, is only kept up by intercourse with Europe. Look at the atrocities in their ships. Look at their Congress and their Courts of Justice; debaters in the first; suitors, even advocates, sometimes judges, in the second, settling their arguments with pistol and dagger. Look at their extensions of slavery, and their revivals of the slave-trade, now covertly, soon to be openly. If it were possible that the two worlds could be absolutely dissevered for a century, I think a new Columbus would find nothing in America but savages.
Lord Curryfin. You look at America, doctor, through your hatred of slavery. You must remember that we introduced it when they were our colonists. It is not so easily got rid of. Its abolition by France exterminated the white race in St. Domingo, as the white race had exterminated the red. Its abolition by England ruined our West Indian colonies.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. Yes, in conjunction with the direct encouragement of foreign slave labour, given by our friends of liberty under the pretext of free trade. It is a mockery to keep up a squadron for suppressing the slave-trade on the one hand, while, on the other hand, we encourage it to an extent that counteracts in a tenfold degree the apparent power of suppression. It is a clear case of false pretension.
Mr. Gryll. You know, doctor, the Old World had slavery throughout its entire extent; under the Patriarchs, the Greeks, the Romans; everywhere in short. Cicero thought our island not likely to produce anything worth having, excepting slaves;4 and of those none skilled, as some slaves were, in letters and music, but all utterly destitute of both. And in the Old World the slaves were of the same race with the masters. The Negroes are an inferior race, not fit, I am afraid, for anything else.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. Not fit, perhaps, for anything else belonging to what we call civilised life. Very fit to live on little, and wear nothing, in Africa; where it would have been a blessing to themselves and the rest of the world if they had been left unmolested; if they had had a Friar Bacon to surround their entire continent with a wall of brass.
Mr. Falconer. I am not sure, doctor, that in many instances, even yet, the white slavery of our factories is not worse than the black slavery of America. We have done much to amend it, and shall do more. Still, much remains to be done.
The Rev. Dr. Opimiun. And will be done, I hope and believe. The Americans do nothing to amend their system. On the contrary, they do all they can to make bad worse. Whatever excuse there may be for maintaining slavery where it exists, there can be none for extending it into new territories; none for reviving the African slave-trade. These are the crying sins of America. Our white slavery, so far as it goes, is so far worse, that it is the degradation of a better race. But if it be not redressed, as I trust it will be, it will work out its own retribution. And so it is of all the oppressions that are done under the sun. Though all men but the red men will work for a master, they will not fight for an oppressor in the day of his need. Thus gigantic empires have crumbled into dust at the first touch of an invader's footstep. For petty, as for great oppressions, there is a day of retribution growing out of themselves. It is often long in coming. Ut sit magna, tamen eerie lenla ira Deoruni est.5 But it comes.
Raro anteccdentem scelestum
Deseruit pede poena claudo.6
Lord Curryfin. I will not say, doctor, 'I've seen, and sure I ought to know.' But I have been in America, and I have found there, what many others will testify, a very numerous class of persons who hold opinions very like your own: persons who altogether keep aloof from public life, because they consider it abandoned to the rabble; but who are as refined, as enlightened, as full of sympathy for all that tends to justice and liberty, as any whom you may most approve amongst ourselves.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. Of that I have no doubt But I look to public acts and public men.
Lord Curryfin. I should much like to know what Mr. MacBorrowdale thinks of all this.
Mr. MacBorrowdale. Troth, my lord, I think we have strayed far away from the good company we began with. We have lost sight of Jack of Dover. But the discussion had one bright feature. It did not interfere with, it rather promoted, the circulation of the bottle: for every man who spoke pushed it on with as much energy as he spoke with, and those who were silent swallowed the wine and the opinion together, as if they relished them both.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. So far, discussion may find favour. In my own experience I have found it very absorbent of claret. But I do not think it otherwise an incongruity after dinner, provided it be carried on, as our disquisitions have always been, with frankness and good humour. Consider how much instruction has been conveyed to us in the form of conversations at banquet, by Plato and Xenophon and Plutarch. I read nothing with more pleasure than their Symposia: to say nothing of Athenaeus, whose work is one long banquet.
Mr. MacBorrowdale. Nay, I do not object to conversation on any subject. I object to after-dinner lectures. I have had some unfortunate experiences. I have found what began in conversation end in a lecture. I have, on different occasions, met several men, who were in that respect all alike. Once started they never stopped. The rest of the good company, or rather the rest which without them would have been good company, was no company. No one could get in a word. They went on with one unvarying stream of monotonous desolating sound. This makes me tremble when a discussion begins. I sit in fear of a lecture.
Lord Curryfin. Well, you and I have lectured, but never after dinner. We do it when we have promised it, and when those who are present expect it. After dinner, I agree with you, it is the most doleful blight that can fall on human enjoyment.
Mr. MacBorrowdale. I will give you one or two examples of these postprandial inflictions. One was a great Indian reformer. He did not open his mouth till he had had about a bottle and a half of wine. Then he burst on us with a declamation on all that was wrong in India, and its remedy. He began in the Punjab, travelled to Calcutta, went southward, got into the Temple of Juggernaut, went southward again, and after holding forth for more than an hour, paused for a moment. The man who sate next him attempted to speak: but the orator clapped him on the arm, and said: 'Excuse me: now I come to Madras.' On which his neighbour jumped up and vanished. Another went on in the same way about currency. His first hour's talking carried him just through the Restriction Act of ninety-seven. As we had then more than half-a-century before us, I took my departure. But these were two whom topography and chronology would have brought to a close. The bore of all bores was the third. His subject had no beginning, middle, nor end. It was education. Never was such a journey through the desert of mind: the Great Sahara of intellect. The very recollection makes me thirsty.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. If all the nonsense which, in the last quarter of a century, has been talked on all other subjects were thrown into one scale, and all that has been talked on the subject of education alone were thrown into the other, I think the latter would preponderate.
Lord Curryfin. We have had through the whole period some fine specimens of nonsense on other subjects: for instance, with a single exception, political economy.
Mr. MacBorrowdale. I understand your lordship's politeness as excepting the present company. You need not except me. I am 'free to confess,' as they say 'in another place,' that I have talked a great deal of nonsense on that subject myself.
Lord Curryfin. Then, we have had latterly a mighty mass on the purification of the Thames.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. Allowing full weight to the two last-named ingredients, they are not more than a counterpoise to Competitive Examination, which is also a recent exotic belonging to education.
Lord Curryfin. Patronage, it used to be alleged, considered only the fitness of the place for the man, not the fitness of the man for the place. It was desirable to reverse this.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. True: but —
'dum vitant stulli vitium, in contraria currunl.' 7
Questions which can only be answered by the parrotings of a memory crammed to disease with all sorts of heterogeneous diet can form no test of genius, taste, judgment, or natural capacity. Competitive Examination takes for its norma: 'It is better to learn many things ill than one thing well'; or rather: 'It is better to learn to gabble about everything than to understand anything.' This is not the way to discover the wood of which Mercuries are made. I have been told that this precious scheme has been borrowed from China: a pretty fountain-head for moral and political improvement: and if so, I may say, after Petronius: 'This windy and monstrous loquacity has lately found its way to us from Asia, and like a pestilential star has blighted the minds of youth otherwise rising to greatness.'8
Lord Curryfin. There is something to be said on behalf of applying the same tests, addressing the same questions, to everybody.
The Rev. Dr. Opimian. I shall be glad to hear what can be said on that behalf.
Lord Curryfin (after a pause). 'Mass,' as the second grave-digger says in Hamlet, 'I cannot tell.'
A chorus of laughter dissolved the sitting.
1 Et Catilinam quocumque in populo videas, quocumque sub axe: sed nee Brutus erit, Bruti nec avunculus usquam. — Juv. Sat. xiv. 41–43.
2 Non enim te puto Graecos ludos desiderare: praesertim quum Graecos ita non âmes, ut ne ad villain quidem tuam via Grasca ire soleas. — Cicero: Ep. ad Div, vii. i.
3 (Greek phrase)—Æschylus: Prometheus.
4 Etiam illud jam cognitum est, neque argenti scripulum esse ullum in ilia insula, neque ullam spem praedae, nisi ex mancipiis: ex quibus nullos puto te literis aut musicis eruditos expectare. — Cicero: ad Atticum, iv. 16.
A hope is expressed by Pomponius Mela, 1. iii, c. 6 (he wrote under Claudius), that, by the success of the Roman arms, the island and its savage inhabitants would soon be better known. It is amusing enough to peruse such passages in the midst of London. — Gibbon: c. i.
5 The anger of the Gods, though great, is slow.
6 The foot of Punishment, though lame, O'ertakes at last preceding Wrong.
7 When fools would from one vice take flight. They rush into its opposite. — Hor. Sal. i. 2, 24.
8 Nuper ventosa isthaec et enormis loquacitas Athenas ex Asia commigravit, animosque juvenum, ad magna surgentes, veluti pestilenti quodam sidere afflavit.

No quick fix to cleanse this stain
Over the past number of months, people in the U.S. have been confronting the issue of racism and violence against African-Americans.
Police shootings in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, and now the church massacre in Charleston, S.C., have held a mirror up to Americans — and the reflection isn't always pretty.
Something similar happened in Canada in June, when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission presented its report about Indian residential schools — a deep, dark stain on our collective history that reverberates into our troubled present.
The schools, which began in the late 19th century and operated until the latter part of the 20th century, were designed to assimilate Aboriginal people into the dominant Canadian culture — to "take the Indian out of the child."
Children as young as 5 were forcibly taken from their families and taken to schools, many of them church-run, to be educated in the ways of white society.
Altogether, more than 150,000 Aboriginal children were forced to attend the schools. They were forbidden to speak their own languages or practice their spiritual and cultural customs. Many also experienced physical and sexual abuse.
The result has been devastating for Aboriginal people in Canada — then, and now. The harm caused by the schools has been passed down through the generations. Many Aboriginal people today struggle with poverty and addictions, and they are greatly overrepresented in Canadian prisons.
The commission produced heart-rending stories and 94 recommendations. Among them is a desire for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians to find a way to bridge the great divide between the two groups, in order to promote healing.
Most of the recommendations are about actions governments can take. But what can individuals do? Prior to the release of the report, I asked that question of Kyle Mason, an Aboriginal Christian pastor in Winnipeg, Man.
The first thing not to do, he said, is show up with plans, projects or programs. Instead, sit down and have a conversation with Aboriginal people.
That conversation should cover what life is like for Aboriginal people today, what needs exist in the community, how Aboriginal people have experienced Christianity.
Non-Aboriginal Christians need to remember that "the church has not always been kind to us," Mason said. "A lot of evil has been done to us in the name of the church."
He noted that a lot of people still suffer the effects of residential schools, including those, like him, who didn't attend one. His father was forced to go and "endured a lot of terrible and harsh things."
These "are not easy things to talk about. But they are important if we are to have a truly open and honest conversation."
If Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people can talk like that, Mason believes it will be a big step toward healing.
For someone like me, who always wants to do something, that isn't easy advice to hear. And I don't think I'm alone; Most of the Mennonites I know are doers, too. If we see a problem, we want to fix it.
But Mason's words ring in my ears: Take time to listen and learn. I suspect it's good advice on both sides of the border.
John Longhurst, of Winnipeg, Man., is director of resources and public engagement at Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

Hormone pellets are the best, most natural way to deliver hormones in both men and women. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of bio-identical hormones providing optimal therapy.

1. What are Pellets?
Pellets are made up of either estradiol or testosterone. The hormones, estradiol or testosterone, are pressed or fused into very small solid cylinders. These pellets are larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a 'Tic Tac'. In the United States, pellets are made by a licensed compounding pharmacist and delivered in sterile glass vials.
2. Why are pellets optimal for hormone replacement?
Pellets deliver consistent, healthy levels of hormones for 3-6 months, depending on the dosage. They avoid the fluctuations, or ups and downs, of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery. It is the fluctuation in hormones that causes many of the unwanted side effects and symptoms a patient experiences. Pellets do not increase the risk of blood clots like conventional or synthetic hormone replacement therapy.
In studies, when compared to conventional hormone replacement therapy, pellets have been shown to be superior for relief of menopausal symptoms, maintenance of bone density, restoration of sleep patterns, improvement in sex drive, libido, sexual response and performance. Even patients who have failed other types of hormone therapy have a very high success rate with pellets. In addition, there is no other method of hormone delivery that is as convenient for the patient as pellets.
3. When were pellets first used for hormonal replacement?
Pellets have been used in both men and women since the late 1930's. In fact, there is more data to support the use of pellets than any other method of delivery of hormones. Pellets are not patented and not marketed in the United States. They are frequently used in Europe and Australia where pharmaceutical companies produce pellets. Most of the research on pellets is out of England and Australia with some from Germany and the Netherlands. Pellets were frequently used in the United States from about 1940 through the late 70's, early 80's when patented estrogens were marketed to the public. In fact, some of the most exciting data on hormone implants in breast cancer patients is out of the United States. Even in United Stated there are clinics that specialize in the use of pellets for hormone therapy.
4. How and where do you insert pellets?
The insertion of pellets is a simple, relatively painless procedure done under local anesthesia. The pellets are usually inserted in the lower abdominal wall or hip through a small incision which is taped closed. Experience of the health care professional counts; not only in placing the pellets, but in determining the correct dosage of hormones to be used.
5. What are potential complications from inserting hormone pellets?
Complications from the insertion of pellets include minor bleeding, bruising, discoloration of the skin, infection, and possible extrusion of the pellet. Other than slight bruising, or discoloration of the skin these complications are very rare. Extended exposure to moisture (swimming, hot tubs, bath tubs) is avoided for 4 to 5 days, and vigorous physical activity is avoided for 48 hours in women and up to 5 to 7 days in men. Antibiotics may be given if a patient is diabetic or has recently had a joint replaced.
6. Why do many providers say "there is no data to support the use of hormonal pellets"?
If your health care practitioner says that there is no data to support the use of pellets, he or she is wrong. There is a big difference between "no data" and not having read the data. Likewise, many patients have been told by their physicians, that there is "no data to support bio-identical hormone therapy". It is much easier for busy practitioners to say this and dismiss the patient, than it is to question their beliefs and do the research.
7. What can I expect after pellet insertion?
After pellets are inserted, patients may notice that they have more energy, sleep better and feel happier. Muscle mass and bone density will increase while fatty tissue decreases. Patients may notice increased strength, co-ordination and physical performance. They may see an improvement in skin tone and hair texture. Concentration and memory may improve as will overall physical and sexual health.
8. Do pellets have the same danger of breast cancer as other forms of hormone replacement?
Pellets do not have the same risk of breast cancer as high doses of oral estrogens, like Premarin, that do not maintain the correct estrogen ratio or hormone metabolites. Nor, do they increase the risk of breast cancer like the synthetic, chemical progestins used in the Women's Health Initiative Trial. In fact, data supports that balanced hormones are breast protective.
9. What are the most common side effects when the pellets are first inserted?
When a patient first starts hormone therapy there may be mild, temporary breast tenderness; which gets better on its own. Hormone receptors may be very sensitive and take time to adjust. There may be a temporary water weight gain which will also resolve on its own. The body will tone up, as bone density and muscle mass increase and fatty tissue decreases. Patients may experience a mild form of "puberty" as their hormonal levels come up into normal ranges.
10. How soon will I feel the effects of the pellets?
Some patients begin to "feel better" within 24-48 hours while others may take a week or two to notice a difference.
11. How long do the pellets last?
The pellets usually last between 3 and 5 months in women and 5-6 months in men. High levels of stress, physical activity, some medications and lack of sleep may increase the rate at which the pellet absorb and may require that pellets are inserted sooner in some patients.
12. Do the pellets need to be removed every 3-6 months?
The pellets do not need to be removed. They completely dissolve on their own.
13. Do men need hormone replacement?
Testosterone levels begin to decline in men beginning in their 30's. Most men maintain adequate levels of testosterone into their mid 40's to mid 50's, some into their late 70's early 80's. Men should be tested when they begin to show signs of testosterone deficiency. Even men in their 30's can be testosterone deficient and show signs of bone loss. Most men need to be tested around 50 years of age. It is never too late to benefit from hormone therapy.
14. Do patients need progesterone when they use the pellets?
Any time estradiol is prescribed, progesterone is also prescribed. There are progesterone (not progestin) receptors in the bone, brain, heart, breast and uterus. Progesterone can be used as a topical cream, a vaginal cream, oral capsule, or sublingual drops or capsules. If a patient is pre-menopausal she uses the progesterone the last two weeks of the menstrual cycle.
15. Do I have to be in menopause to benefit from pellets?
Hormone therapy with pellets is not just used for menopause. Women at any age may experience hormone imbalance. Levels decline or fluctuate contributing to debilitating symptoms. Pellets are useful in severe PMS, post partum depression, menstrual or migraine headaches, and sleeping disorders. Pellets may also be used to treat hormone deficiencies caused by the birth control pill.
16. How are the hormones monitored during therapy?
Hormone levels will be drawn and evaluated before therapy is started. This will include a FSH, estradiol, testosterone and free testosterone for women. Men need a PSA, estradiol, free estradiol, testosterone and possibly estrone prior to starting therapy. Levels will be reevaluated during hormone therapy at 4-6 weeks and again in 3-5 months. After the first years of therapy hormones levels are followed less frequently. The PSA in men is followed every 6-12 months.
17. What is the cost for pellets?
The cost for the insertion of pellets will vary depending on the dose of the hormones and the number of pellets needed. Men need a much larger dose of testosterone than women and the cost is higher. When compared to the cost of drugs to treat the individual symptoms of hormone decline, pellets are very cost effective.
18. Will insurance cover the pellets and insertion?
Some insurance companies cover the cost of pellets, others do not. Each insurance and specific policy benefit coverage is different. DeRosa Medical suggests that each patient check with their insurance company for coverage before scheduling an appointment.
19. Where does DeRosa Medical get their bio-identical pellets?
DeRosa Medical has chosen Carie Boyd (https://carieboyd.com) as our exclusive supplier of bio-identical hormonal pellets used in our practice.
If we utilize non-pellet forms of hormones we have chosen Phoenix Compounding Pharmacy (http://www.phoenixcompoundingpharmacy.com) as are preferred compounding pharmacy.
These pharmacies work collaboratively with medical & health organizations, prescribers & their patients to provide the best possible therapy options available. Their pharmacists also are recognized for their expertise in biologically identical hormone replacement therapy and other alternative therapies.

Live and Let Die (1973) is the eighth spy film in the James Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions, and the first to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, it was the third of four Bond films to be directed by Guy Hamilton. Although the producers had wanted Sean Connery to return after his role in the previous Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, he declined, sparking a search for a new actor to play James Bond. Moore was signed for the lead role.
The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. In the film, a Harlem drugs lord known as Mr. Big plans to distribute two tons of heroin free to put rival drugs barons out of business. Mr. Big is revealed to be the disguised alter ego of Dr. Kananga, a corrupt Caribbean dictator, who rules San Monique, the fictional island where the heroin poppies are secretly farmed. Bond is investigating the deaths of three British agents, leading him to Kananga, and is soon trapped in a world of gangsters and voodoo as he fights to put a stop to the drugs baron's scheme.
Live and Let Die was released during the height of the blaxploitation era, and many blaxploitation archetypes and clichés are depicted in the film, including derogatory racial epithets ("honky"), black gangsters, and pimpmobiles.[1] It departs from the former plots of the James Bond films about megalomaniac super-villains, and instead focuses on drug trafficking, a common theme of blaxploitation films of the period. It is set in African American cultural centres such as Harlem and New Orleans, as well as the Caribbean Islands. It was also the first James Bond film featuring an African American Bond girl to be romantically involved with 007, Rosie Carver, who was played by Gloria Hendry. The film was a box office success and received generally positive reviews from critics. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Live and Let Die", written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by their band Wings.
Three MI6 agents, including one "on loan" to the American government, are killed under mysterious circumstances within 24 hours of each other in the United Nations, New Orleans and a Caribbean nation, San Monique, while monitoring the operations of the island's dictator Dr. Kananga. James Bond, agent 007, is sent to New York City to investigate the first murder. Kananga is also in New York, visiting the United Nations and representing San Monique. Just after Bond arrives, his driver is shot dead by Whisper, one of Kananga's men, while taking Bond to meet Felix Leiter of the CIA. Bond is nearly killed in the ensuing car crash.
A trace on the killer's licence plate eventually leads Bond to Mr. Big, a ruthless gangster who runs a chain of Fillet of Soul restaurants throughout the United States. It is here that Bond first meets Solitaire, a beautiful tarot expert who has the power of the Obeah and can see both the future and remote events in the present. Mr. Big, who is actually Kananga in disguise, demands that his henchmen kill Bond, but Bond overpowers them and escapes unscathed. Bond flies to San Monique, where he meets Rosie Carver, a CIA double agent. They meet up with a friend of Bond's, Quarrel Jr., who takes them by boat near Solitaire's home. Bond suspects Rosie of working for Kananga. She is shot dead, remotely, by Kananga, to stop her confessing the truth to Bond. Inside Solitaire's house, Bond uses a stacked tarot deck of cards, that show only "The Lovers", to trick her into thinking that seduction is in her future, and then seduces her. Solitaire loses her ability to foretell the future when she loses her virginity to Bond, and decides to co-operate with Bond as she has feelings for him and has grown tired of being controlled by Kananga.
Bond and Solitaire escape by boat and fly to New Orleans. There, Bond is captured by Kananga. It transpires that Kananga is producing two tons of heroin and is protecting the poppy fields by exploiting San Monique locals' fear of voodoo priest Baron Samedi, and the occult. Through his alter ego, Mr. Big, Kananga plans to distribute the heroin free of charge at his Fillet of Soul restaurants, which will increase the number of addicts. Kananga also believes that other drug dealers, namely the Mafia, cannot compete with his giveaway, to which Kananga can later charge high prices for the heroin, after he has simultaneously cultivated huge drug dependencies and bankrupted his competitors.
When Kananga finds out that Bond slept with Solitaire, he turns her over to Baron Samedi to be sacrificed. He is angry because her ability to read tarot cards is gone, and he wanted to be the one to take her powers away. Meanwhile, Kananga's one-armed henchman, Tee Hee Johnson, leaves Bond to be eaten by aligators at a farm in the Louisiana backwoods. Bond escapes by running along the animals' backs to safety. He sets a drug lab on fire and steals a speedboat. He is then pursued by Kananga's men, as well as Sheriff J.W. Pepper and the Louisiana State Police.
Back in San Monique, Bond has set timed explosives throughout the poppy fields. He rescues Solitaire from the voodoo sacrifice and throws Samedi into a coffin of poisonous snakes. Bond and Solitaire escape below ground into Kananga's lair. Kananga captures them both and proceeds to lower them into a shark tank. Bond escapes and forces a shark gun pellet into Kananga's mouth, causing him to inflate like a balloon, float to the top of the cave, and explode.
After the job is done, Leiter puts Bond and Solitaire onto a train and out of the country. Tee Hee Johnson follows Bond and Solitaire onto the train and tries to kill Bond, but loses his prosthetic arm in a fight with him and is flung out of the window. As the film ends, a laughing Samedi is revealed to be perched on the front of the speeding train.

While filming Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die was chosen as the next Ian Fleming novel to be adapted because screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz thought it would be daring to use black villains, as the Black Panthers and other racial movements were active at this time.[2] Guy Hamilton was again chosen to direct, and since he was a jazz fan, Mankiewicz suggested he film in New Orleans. Hamilton did not want to use Mardi Gras since Thunderball featured Junkanoo, a similar festivity, so after more discussions with the writer and location scouting with helicopters, he decided to use two well-known features of the city, the jazz funerals and the canals.[2][3]
To develop a better feel of how Voodoo was practised, Saltzman and Broccoli escorted Hamilton, Mankiewicz and production designer Syd Cain to scout New Orleans further and then the islands of the West Indies. Haiti was an important destination of the tour[4] and not only did Fleming connect it with the religion,[5] there were many practitioners available to witness. Despite viewing actual demonstrations, due to political unrest in the country at the time, it was decided not to film in Haiti.[4]
While searching for locations in Jamaica, the crew discovered a crocodile farm owned by Ross Kananga, after passing a sign warning that "trespassers will be eaten." The farm was put into the script and also inspired Mankiewicz to name the film's villain after Kananga.[2]
Broccoli and Saltzman tried to convince Sean Connery to return as 007, but he declined.[2] The two producers then approached Clint Eastwood, who was fresh from his success as Dirty Harry, also turned down the offer, stating that 007 should be played by an Englishman. Among the actors to test for the part of Bond were Julian Glover, John Gavin, Jeremy Brett, Simon Oates, John Ronane, and William Gaunt. The main frontrunner for the role was Michael Billington. United Artists wanted an American to play Bond; Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman and Robert Redford were all considered. Producer Albert R. Broccoli, however, insisted that the part should be played by a British actor and put forward Roger Moore. After Moore was chosen, Billington remained on the top of the list in the event that Moore would decline to come back for the next film. Billington ultimately played a brief villainous role in the pre-credit sequence of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Moore, who had been considered by the producers before both Dr. No and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, was ultimately cast.[3] He tried not to imitate either Connery's or his own prior performance as Simon Templar in The Saint, and Mankiewicz fitted the screenplay into Moore's persona by giving more comedy scenes and a light-hearted approach to Bond.[2]
Mankiewicz had thought of turning Solitaire into a black woman, with Diana Ross as his primary choice.[1][6] However, Broccoli and Saltzman decided to stick to Fleming's description of a white woman, and after thinking of Catherine Deneuve, Jane Seymour, who was in the TV series The Onedin Line, was cast for the role.[2] Yaphet Kotto was cast while doing another movie for United Artists, Across 110th Street.[2] Kotto reported one of the things he liked in the role was Kananga's interest in the occult, "feeling like he can control past, present and future".[3]
Mankiewicz created Sheriff J.W. Pepper to add a comic relief character. Portrayed by Clifton James, Pepper appeared again in The Man with the Golden Gun.[2] Live and Let Die is also the first of two films featuring David Hedison as Felix Leiter, who reprised the role in Licence to Kill. Hedison had said "I was sure that would be my first and last", before being cast again.[7]
Madeline Smith, who played Miss Caruso, sharing Bond's bed in the film's opening, was recommended for the part by Roger Moore after he had appeared with her on TV. Smith said that Moore was extremely polite to work with, but she felt very uncomfortable being clad in only blue bikini panties while Moore's wife was on set overseeing the scene.[8]
This was the only Bond film until 2006 not to feature 'Q', played at this stage by Desmond Llewelyn. He was then appearing in the TV series Follyfoot, but was written out of three episodes to appear in the film.[9] By then, Saltzman and Broccoli decided not to include the character, feeling that "too much was being made of the films' gadgets", and decided to downplay this aspect of the series,[10] much to Llewelyn's annoyance.[9]
Principal photography began in October 1972, in Louisiana. For a while only the second unit was shot after Moore was diagnosed with kidney stones. In November production moved to Jamaica, which doubled for the fictional San Monique. In December, production was divided between interiors in Pinewood Studios and location shooting in Harlem.[2][11][12] The producers were reportedly required to pay protection money to a local Harlem gang to ensure the crew's safety. When the cash ran out, they were "encouraged" to leave.[8] Some exteriors were in fact shot in Manhattan's Upper East Side as a result of the difficulties of using real Harlem locations.
Ross Kananga suggested the stunt of Bond jumping on crocodiles, and was enlisted by the producers to perform it.[1] The scene took five takes to be completed, including one in which the last crocodile snapped at Kananga's heel, tearing his trousers.[2] The production also had trouble with snakes. The script supervisor was so afraid that she refused to be on set with them; an actor fainted while filming a scene where he is killed by a snake; Jane Seymour became terrified as a reptile got closer, and Geoffrey Holder only agreed to fall into the snake-filled casket because Princess Alexandra was visiting the set.[2]
The boat chase was filmed in Louisiana around the Irish Bayou area, with some interruption caused by flooding.[3] Twenty-six boats were built by the Glastron boat company for the film. Seventeen were destroyed during rehearsals.[13] The speedboat jump scene over the bayou, filmed with the assistance of a specially-constructed ramp, unintentionally set a Guinness World Record at the time with 110 feet (34 m) cleared. The waves created by the impact caused the following boat to flip over.[2]
The chase involving the double-decker bus was filmed with a second-hand London bus adapted by having a top section removed, and then placed back in situ running on ball bearings to allow to slide off on impact. The stunts involving the bus were performed by Maurice Patchett, a London Transport bus driving instructor.[1]
John Barry, who had worked on the previous five themes and orchestrated the "James Bond Theme", was unavailable during production. Broccoli and Saltzman instead asked Paul McCartney to write the theme song. Since McCartney's salary was high and another composer could not be hired with the remainder of the music budget, George Martin, who had been McCartney's producer while with The Beatles, was chosen to write the score for the film.[14] "Live and Let Die", written by McCartney along with his wife Linda and performed by their group Wings, was the first true rock and roll song used to open a Bond film, and became a major success in the UK (where it reached number nine in the charts) and the US (where it reached number 2, for three weeks). It was nominated for an Academy Award but lost to "The Way We Were". Producers hired B. J. Arnau to record and perform the title song, not realising McCartney intended to perform it himself. Arnau's version was featured in the film itself, when the singer performed it in a night club which Bond attends.[15]
The Olympia Brass Band has a notable part in "Live and Let Die", where they lead a funeral march for a (soon to be) assassination victim. Trumpeter Alvin Alcorn plays the killer. The piece of music the band plays at the beginning of the funeral march is "Just a Closer Walk with Thee". After the agent is stabbed, the band starts playing the more lively "Joe Avery's Piece" (aka "New Second Line").
The film was released in the United States on 27 June 1973. The world premiere was at Odeon Leicester Square in London on 6 July 1973, with general release in the United Kingdom on the same day.[16] From a budget of around $7 million,[17] ($37 million in 2016 dollars[18]) the film grossed $161.8 million ($864 million in 2016 dollars[18]) worldwide.[17]
The film holds the record for the most viewed broadcast film on television in the United Kingdom by attracting 23.5 million viewers when premiered on ITV on 20 January 1980.[19]
Despite poor reaction to the racial overtones, reviews were mostly positive, with praise for the action scenes,[20][21] and Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 66% "fresh" rating.[22]
Ian Nathan of Empire magazine wrote " This is good quality Bond, managing to reinterpret the classic moves - action, deduction, seduction - for a more modern idiom without breaking the mould. On one side we get the use of alligators as stepping stones and the pompous pitbull of rootin' tootin' Sheriff Pepper caught up in the thrilling boat chase. On the other, the genuine aura of threat through weird voodoo henchman Tee Hee and the leaning toward - what's this? - realism in Mr Big's plot to take over the drug trade from the Mafia." He concluded that " Moore had got his feet under the table."[23]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times stated that Moore "has the superficial attributes for the job: The urbanity, the quizzically raised eyebrow, the calm under fire and in bed". However, he felt that Moore wasn't satisfactory in living up to the legacy left by Sean Connery in the preceding films. He rated the villains "a little banal", adding that the film "doesn't have a Bond villain worthy of the Goldfingers, Dr. Nos and Oddjobs of the past."[24] Chris Nashawaty similarly argues that Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big is the worst villain of the Roger Moore James Bond films.[25] BBC Films reviewer William Mager praised the use of locations, but said that the plot was "convoluted". He stated that "Connery and Lazenby had an air of concealed thuggishness, clenched fists at the ready, but in Moore's case a sardonic quip and a raised eyebrow are his deadliest weapons".[26] Reviewer Leonard Maltin rated the film two and a half stars out of four, describing it as a "barely memorable, overlong James Bond movie" that "seems merely an excuse to film wild chase sequences".[27] Danny Peary noted that Jane Seymour portrays "one of the Bond series's most beautiful heroines" but had little praise for Moore, whom he described as making "an unimpressive debut as James Bond in Tom Mankiewicz's unimaginative adaptation of Ian Fleming's second novel…The movie stumbles along most of the way. It's hard to remember Moore is playing Bond at times – in fact, if he and Seymour were black, the picture could pass as one of the black exploitation films of the day. There are few interesting action sequences – a motorboat chase is trite enough to begin with, but the filmmakers make it worse by throwing in some stupid Louisiana cops, including pot-bellied Sheriff Pepper."[28]
IGN ranked Solitaire as 10th in a Top 10 Bond Babes list.[29] In November 2006, Entertainment Weekly listed Live and Let Die as the third best Bond film.[30] MSN chose it as the thirteenth best Bond film[21] and IGN listed it as twelfth best.[20]
In 2004 the American Film Institute nominated the song "Live and Let Die" from the film for AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs.[31]

Eye and Ear/Mass General Otolaryngology Chief and HMS Chair of Otology and Laryngology March 06, 2014 Contact: Mary Leach 617-573-4170 Dr. D. Brad Welling named Mass. Eye and Ear/ Mass General Otolaryngology Chief and HMS Chair of Otology and Laryngology BOSTON (March 6, 2014) -- The Massachusetts Eye and Ear/Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School communities welcome D. Bradley Welling, M.D., Ph.D., FACS, as the next Chief of Otolaryngology for the Massachusetts Eye and Ear /Massachusetts General Hospital departments, Chairman of Otology and Laryngology for Harvard Medical School (HMS). Dr. Welling took the helm on March 1, 2014, succeeding Joseph B. Nadol, Jr., M.D., who stepped down as chair and chief after 28 years, to focus more intensely on research. "Without question, Dr. Welling is an exemplary leader and worthy successor to Dr. Nadol, who has ably led the Department through unprecedented growth over three decades," said John Fernandez, Mass. Eye and Ear President and CEO. Dr. Welling was most recently department chairman at The Ohio State University Eye and Ear Institute, where he has served in multiple capacities since 1989. He was appointed Professor of Speech and Hearing and Professor of Otolaryngology in 2000 and took over leadership of the department in 2005. He earned his bachelor of arts and his doctor of medicine at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. He completed his residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Iowa and a fellowship in Otology, Neurotology and Skull Base Surgery at the Ear Foundation in Nashville, Tennessee. Dr. Welling has a doctorate in pathobiology from The Ohio State University. "I'm humbled by the opportunity to be in a leadership position like this. It really is the greatest job in otolaryngology in the world," Dr. Welling said. "This department has a history that is unparalleled. There are bright, talented people here who have done wonderful things in their careers and who have built on the shoulders of those who came before them. Dr. Nadol leaves large shoes to fill." Along with the major administrative expertise he cultivated at Ohio State, Dr. Welling brings 25 years of experience in the otology and neurotology field, with clinical and research interests in Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). In addition to his duties as Chief and Chair, he will have an active clinical practice in the Division of Otology and Neurotology, where he will care for patients suffering from the full range of diseases related to the ear. His research involves basic and translational studies on NF2-associated tumors, for which he was awarded the Edmund Prince Fowler Award by the Triological Society in 1997. He has taken that research to the clinical trial phase, with the goal of developing effective treatments for these tumors. For Dr. Welling, his research is yet another layer in the continually rewarding field of otolaryngology. "As otolaryngologists, we get to do things that other physicians don't necessarily have the privilege to do," he said. "We care for patients suffering from problems with the senses, helping restore their abilities to have conversations, hear one another and even smile at one another. It's very special."

Today's Tip…
Mostly I try to write tips about our latest products or something I've learned that makes me more productive. But sometimes I see someone do something small that's been around for a while that I just didn't think about using it that way. That is today's tip.
For those of us that dual boot or triple boot (have multiple operating systems installed) or even boot from VHD (have operating systems installed on VHD files), you will understand this. When I switch from my Windows 2012 installation of Windows to one of the operating systems that I keep on VHD, I sit there and watch the shutdown, then watch the bootup, and pick the operating system or VHD that I want to boot to before the timer runs out.
I just hate waiting that long and I often get distracted by other people talking to me, phone ringing, or just someone jingling keys. When that happens I miss the prompt and end up booting into the wrong operating system. However, there has been a way to keep from doing this all along and I didn't realize it. Simply bring up your advanced startup options, pick which boot manager option you want to use, and set it to default. Then when you reboot, you can go get a drink and when you come back it will be ready to go.

This China company section was last updated on May 13, 2012
This section is built with an editorial notion rather than being just a plain China Company Types information bank. We decided on this method to remove some mirrors from the China Business maze and to assist, especially the less bureaucracy savvy, in better understand the types of company available in China, as well as the overall business types and business structural environment in China.
If you have any specific questions upfront, feel free to
send us your questions and requirements.
Company Structures In China
Following you will find some very common terms of available business structures (company formation options) in China. Below is a list on common Chinese Company Variations
At this point, if you already know what company you need, just use the left column menu to navigate directly to the company type you have in mind to register in China, or just simply click the relevant china business formation icon below
For everyone else, simply follow our China Company Formation Tutorial, which we believe, will not only provide much needed information on how to set-up your business in China, but also contribute to better understand the Chinese business environment.
Okay, so after you picked your favorite dish, all that's left for you is to follow us into the kitchen and...
Agreed. This may sound a little harsh, but - don't be misguided and take it too easy, thinking it will be alight. Chances for you to be not alright are much greater if you make a misinformed decision.
Remember on the previous page, here, we distinguished 3 China business formation venture groups. This was for a good reason since the very same applies to the China Company Types. This will allow to group the entire pile of companies from above into 3 (now but 4) major company model groups (groups), namely; WFOE | Representative Office | Joint Venture | Partnership Enterprise
While it has come into fashion meanwhile and some may count more than 4, because they add Hong Kong to China? This is simply "not" the case. If it was, then we would need to add even more, like Macau, Taiwan and other special authoritative regions. This is simply a mislead. The Hong Kong Company Governance complete different compared to the China Corporate Law, so is HK's banking and the entire legislative system. Do not get pulled into a gully and tangled up with politics.
Let's take a closer look at the 4 China Company Model Groups
This type of company is a limited liability company and wholly (100%) owned by it's foreign investor. The WFOE requires a registered capital to be paid up. The liability of a WFOE company is limited to its equity. Privileges and obligations are, e.g.; The WFOE can generate income, can repatriate profits back to the investor's home country, pays tax in China and registration requires an existing, foreign parent company already operation for a specific period of time. Find out more about this company type here.
This company type is to act as a liaison office in China of its foreign parent company. This type requires no registered capital. Its activities are restricted to carry out, e.g.; product or service promotion, market research, quality control (QC) liaison with suppliers/partners in China. An RO is not allowed to generate revenue or to enter into contract(s) with in China established businesses. Find out more about this company type here.
The JV company is again a limited liability company. It was the first available corporate business structure to allow foreign investment into China after China announced its "Open-Doors" strategy. The Joint Venture is formed between Chinese and foreign company investors. It is the preferred business model to gain fast access to the China business Markets and to profit from existing local business knowledge.Find out more about this company type here.
The newcomer in the world of Chinese corporate structure environment and relatively unexplored. This new type of business, also with many new features, was introduced to make entry to the Chinese market a lot more affordable (no registered capital necessary) thus but, also riskier for the parties involved since Directors are personally liable for the business. The FIPE can be registered either as a partnership between to foreign Nationals or one foreign and one Chinese national. Find out more about this company type here.
At Chinabiz21 we tried to build a China Company Formation info center, that will allow you to follow a clear path and guide in your China Business set-up endeavors. We attempted to load it with common sense and logic to allow you easy navigate through all aspects involving all types of company formation and business conduct rules in China. So let's get started. Relax, you needn't to be an executive chef, we will pick the ingredients for you.
depends on what your needs for doing business in/with China, are! Below is a short check-list that allows you to determine, or short-list the type right to fit your purpose.
If the above reflects your needs (at least close to), then perhaps the best solution for you would be to register a local representative office in China. As the name already suggests, with this type of company you will conduct your business activities in China on the basis of representing your parent company (overseas company headquarter).
If you have much greater needs then simply check out all the other types of companies listed in our company formation section, otherwise to find out more about theRepresentative Office type of company, simple click the next page button to continue.

Discussion in Illinois Legislature
Regarding an Act Concerning Judgments and Executions [1]
Upon the question shall the resolution [2] pass---ayes and nays called for---before being taken Lincoln rose and said that he hoped the resolution would pass, as it merely proposed an inquiry into the expediency of amending the law---or an examination into the fact whether the present law was defective. The resolution was amended by striking out the word ``repealing'' and inserting the word ``amended.''
Mr. Baker then spoke in opposition to the resolution on ground that it would give too much power to the creditor over those who are struggling to secure their homes. He was also opposed to this constant spirit of innovation.
Mr. Lincoln replied that he or Baker were mistaken, and explained his view of the proposed alteration. Under the present law, he said, few appeared at the sale of property, and the judgment creditor usually bids it in at half its value. The owner supposed that he would be able to redeem, but was frequently unable, and his property was thus sacrificed under the operation of this law. Baker admitted this true.
[1] Vandalia Free Press, December 27, 1838.
[2] A resolution proposed on December 12 by George Smith of Madison County, as follows: ``That the committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of repealing so much of the `Act concerning judgments and executions,' approved January 19th, 1825, as makes it lawful for any judgment creditor to redeem lands or tenements that may have been sold by virtue of any execution; and that they report by bill or otherwise'' (House Journal, Eleventh General Assembly, First Session, p. 63). The resolution was rejected, but under a motion to reconsider on December 13, it was amended and passed.

ELF has a Studio product called 'Eye Transformer' that is used to 'Convert your shadows into brand new shades with... opalescent shadows.'
From the pictures, it looked a lot like my No 7 Pastel Shimmer eyeshadow trio which I bought in my first year at uni, so I unearthed the said item and tried a few experiments on black kohl swatches.
The results are frankly amazing – it completely changed the colour of an ordinary black liner! Are the colours not gorgeous?
|From LH: No 7 Amazing eyes kohl pencil in black, blue shimmer on top, pink shimmer, yellow shimmer
When I used it on my eyes, the line is smudged out and not as harsh, which is great for a day time neutral look. I used a sponge tip applicator to apply the shadows, since it's necessary to really press the powder into the kohl.
I experimented this technique with a few other shimmery eyeshadows in my collection and found only the really opalescence shades have the dramatic transforming effect. Nevertheless, it's a great idea and a simple way to jazz up your boring black!

149: Roben Farzad Hotel Scarface Miami in the 1980s
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:08:11 — 156.1MB) | Embed
In 1980, Miami was basically an ungovernable failed state filled with violence, corruption, and chaos. It earned the title, "murder capital of the world". What forces led to the cocaine tragedy of the city? How did the The Mutiny Hotel become the center of this crazy time? How did the Miami of today come about? On this episode, author of the epic book, Hotel Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami, Roben Farzad talks about the very real world of Miami that inspired Scarface, the players there, and the factors that made it happen.
3 Things We Learned
The connection between Miami and Cuba
In 1980, the city of Miami took in hundreds of thousands of Cuban immigrants in a matter of months. Castro had made sure that the people leaving also included criminals who flooded Miami and worked during the cocaine explosion.
Many different cross currents had to happen for the cocaine tragedy to take place
Part of the reason Miami became a cocaine capital was the fact that the authorities looked the other way. It was a running joke in the 1980s that a cocaine smuggler who was caught could easily say they were working for the CIA selling cocaine for tactical reasons.
Podcasting can allow us to tell really great stories
Podcasting can be leveraged as a powerful free-range medium that can help us tell the greatest stories without the constraints of time or formats like movies. This means that anyone with a voice and a story has the opportunity to connect with an audience.
Scarface is one of the most iconic films of all time, but the happenings of 1980s Miami are far from fictional. The Mutiny Hotel was the epicenter of an era of drugs, insane wealth and violence, and a lot of it was caused by political and international forces that threw the city into a tailspin. It was so bad that people used to say Miami was a great place to visit because it was just next to America. The story of Roben's book paints a powerful picture, and it's an epic must-read that cannot be missed.
Guest Bio
Roben Farzad is the author of Hotel Scarface: Where Cocaine Cowboys Partied and Plotted to Control Miami. His family immigrated to the United States from Iran after he was born, and he grew up in Miami during those dark years. Go to hotelscarface.com to find out more.

Daily Choice in Southern Cross is the original spot for Vietnamese rolls (banh mi) around Rundle Mall. The staff at Daily Choice were churning out sandwiches to queues of hungry customers long before the trendy Soonta Rolls and Miss Mai came along. Since the arrival of these new competitors in nearby James Place, Daily Choice is definitely less busy than in the past, but you may still need to line up with loyal customers for one of their old school Vietnamese rolls. You won't wait long though because staff are efficient and the line moves quickly. If you do go down the banh mi path, you can choose Lemongrass Chicken, BBQ Pork, Stewed Beef, Vietnamese Ham, or Crispy Skin Roast Pork for $4.50. Or if you can't pick just one, go for the Combination Roll for $5.50.
If you're keen on a lighter option and/or want to skip the queue, walk straight up to the little fridge on the left and go for my favourite - a pack of their awesome cold rolls. You can get Chicken, BBQ Pork, Prawn or a combo pack. 2 rolls costs $4.20. A pack of 2 Vegetarian rolls is only $3.30. These are not your average cold rolls - they're jumbo sized. They also come with a choice of either Hoisin or Sweet Chilli dipping sauce.
Chicken & Pork cold rolls ($4.20)
The quality and freshness is consistently good, the sauce is tasty, the price is right, and they're both filling and relatively healthy so the cold rolls from Daily Choice are in my regular rotation for city lunches.
Protip: Due to the ginormous size of these cold rolls, I recommend dipping prior to the first bite, then carefully pouring a little bit of sauce prior to each subsequent bite. This pour method avoids the contents of the roll ending up in the sauce. Just make sure you ration your sauce so you don't run out before you finish the second roll. Enjoy!

Hamas, the Iran-backed terror group that controls the Gaza Strip, is "exploiting the humanitarian crisis in the Strip to pad its own coffers," Times of Israel Palestinian affairs correspondent Avi Issacharoff reported on Saturday.A new neighborhood in Gaza consisting of 1,040 housing units, called "Hamad City" in honor of the father of Qatar's ruler, was recently established by Muhammad al-Amadi, a Qatari official in charge of his nation's financing of the rebuilding of Gaza after the 2014 war with Israel. Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since its violent overthrow of Fatah in 2007, allocated "free" apartments to homeless Gazan families to winners of a lottery. But while the houses were technically free, Hamas charged the winners $40,000 a unit, ostensibly for hooking up utilities to the residences. This fee will allow Hamas to profit around $36 million from Qatar's generosity. Issacharoff wrote that while $40,000 is reasonable for an apartment, "it's still a princely sum in Gaza, where unemployment is rampant and the average person makes $174 a month, according to a 2014 UNRWA report."
Citing Palestinian sources, Issacharoff reported that Hamas could have made even more money, but it waived the $40,000 fee for about 150 of the lottery winners who are considered to be close to Hamas.
There are many other examples of corruption provoking anger against Hamas in Gaza. If Gazan fishermen wander past the accepted fishing boundary, Israel will often seize their boat due of concerns over weapons smuggling. But after an investigation clears fishermen of suspicion and their boats are returned, Hamas will charge the fishermen to get the boats back.
Furthermore, Gazans who require help from police must first pay a tax. Hamas has lagged in paying wages to government employees, but pays some 40,000 members of its terrorist force and policemen out of funds it receives from Iran. Hamas also exploits Gazans who receive permits to seek medical treatment in the West Bank or Israel, by using them to smuggle cash or carry messages to Hamas operatives in the West Bank.
In contrast to the poverty that is prevalent in Gaza, several of Hamas' leaders are reportedly billionaires. One of the reasons for Hamas' victory in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections was frustration with the corruption in the PA and Fatah, the main party in the PA. In a critique of Hamas's prioritizing of building its weapons arsenal at the expense of ordinary Gazans, veteran Palestinian affairs reporter Khaled Abu Toameh wrote than when a terror tunnel collapsed, killing seven members of Hamas, the myth that "Hamas will somehow transform itself into a 'peace partner' for Israel, the Palestinian Authority or even the Palestinian people" also died.

In general, there are a lot of good things to say about the London borough of Richmond upon Thames' feature-rich and information-filled website. But the other day I was casually browsing the planning pages, when I spotted a little notice warning that by using the search facility I would be bound by a licence agreement. I clicked for the details, which included a lot about gazetteer data. And this: "Your continued use of www.richmond.gov.uk indicates your acceptance to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, please cease using www.richmond.gov.uk."
Not just – don't use the planning pages, but – don't use the site at all. As a taxpayer, I resent that. Where, I wondered, did that come from? It turns out that there are two sets of T&Cs: first, the council's own general site T&Cs; second, the "web-click" licence specifically for the postcode and addressing information, which is supplied by the National Land and Property Gazetteer and the National Street Gazetteer. These are the products of a joint venture between the UK's 346 local authorities, Ordnance Survey, and private company Intelligent Addressing, which provides the technology hub that powers the whole system.
By statute, addresses are created and managed by the local authorities, who name and number new properties. Many organisations need this information immediately, including the emergency services and the post office. In the old days, the council sent out letters. Ten years ago, pdfs. As of 2005, however, the data is transmitted electronically to Intelligent Addressing, which aggregates and validates the data, benchmarks it against other datasets to ensure it's complete, and then uses web services to distribute it onwards.
"It's the only example I know of where the 346 councils coordinate to do their statutory duty in an entirely consistent manner on behalf of society," says Nick Turner, Intelligent Addressing's business development manager. He goes on to explain about the licence. "If you draw a square," he says, "at the corners you'd have Intelligent Addressing, the local authorities, Local Government Information House, and Ordnance Survey, and there's a flow-through of licensing between all four organisations."
He then added a fifth corner: the Royal Mail. "All five organisations have an interest in the data licence, and there are terms and conditions within the National Land and Property Gazetteer for all five, so effectively this web-click licence is a licence that LGIH has arranged with Ordnance Survey for public service delivery within a public website."
The basic threat they're worried about seems to be people repeatedly hitting the council websites until they have compiled a full set of addresses they could use to create competing services.
"All local authorities are bound by the same T&Cs," says Steve Whitworth from Richmond's corporate web team, adding that the licence will change in April, when the new agreement governing the use of Ordnance Survey data is due. "I suspect it will be a whole, new set and will be simpler." However, comparing Richmond's licence with the one posted by nearby Ealing, it's obvious that Richmond made some additions, including, among other things, the sentence that so offended me.
This seems to be part of Richmond's essential attitude; the site's general T&Cs say: "No part of this website may be copied, broadcast, adapted or used in any way, without the prior permission of the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames."
(Hmm: am I allowed to quote that?) "Culturally, the way local government works in the UK is that it doesn't perceive itself as being by the people and for the people," says Jason Kitcat, the acting assistant director for the Open Rights Group and a Green city councillor for Brighton and Hove.
"The default is that the information is copyright of the council and if it can monetise it, it will." It's not clear, he agrees, how exactly a council might monetise its recycling schedule. "But I have seen situations where companies want to sell it on and aggregate it, so they're keeping their options open without realising that if they used an open licence they would be enabling far more commercial and non-commercial uses of it and that it's not an appropriate use of taxpayer money, really. It's a cultural thing with solicitors – let's do a really blanket licence so there are no problems coming our way."

This month, The Atlantic ran an article on how sexual health organizations are finding themselves censored by social media networks as they try to get the word out about healthy sexuality. The piece opens with the plight of Bedsider, a site that provides information on birth control options. In the past year, some of their promotional content has been stonewalled by both Twitter and Facebook.
In the case of Twitter, the social network prohibits the promotion of adult or sexual products or services. According to their guidelines, "safer sex education, HIV/STD awareness campaigns, and non-prescription contraceptives" are allowed, but they cannot contain or link to sexual content. In Besider's case, they were penalized for the following tweet: "If you think condoms aren't for you, you just haven't found the right one yet. See how good safer sex can feel." The reason Twitter asked them to pull the plug on this promotion? The tweet linked back to their website. According to a representative from Twitter, who was quoted in The Atlantic, the fact that the article painted sex "in a recreational/positive light versus being neutral and dry" was problematic.
And Twitter isn't the only network causing problem for sexuality educators. Facebook's and YouTube's policies are also forcing educators to censor themselves, and even Google Checkout is making it difficult for sexual health organizations to sell their educational products. One organization selling contraceptive education kits online using Google Checkout was forced to pull the product because "Google didn't allow the sale of sex toys." The sex toy in question? A wooden penis demonstration model meant to be used for showing how to put on a condom.
Still, there inconsistencies in how these rules are regulated. While sexual health organizations struggle to get out the good word, publications such as Playboy regularly feature bare breasts and suggestive text in their tweets, without repercussion.
The primary issue with these inconsistencies is tha fact that many out there—both teenagers and adults—use the Internet as one of their primary sources of information on sexuality. One report shows that 89 percent of teens learn about sex in this way. So what is a sex educator to do?
Read more about this issue here.
