Re-view: Shame | On Demand
Steve McQueen's sex-addiction drama deserves a closer look.
Our first look "The impulse to explain the character takes over; you've rarely seen a movie with so many great sequences crash and burn so thoroughly in its last 20 minutes."
Another view Even some of the positive notices for Steve McQueen's Shame treated the film as a cautionary tale about sex addiction: The Lost Weekend with porn. But a movie about a well-off, well-endowed Manhattanite who can't stop getting women to sleep with him is much less interesting than Shame. It's true that Michael Fassbender spends much of the film indulging, and a fraction of it battling, his baser urges. But after observing the character's behavior long past the point when his sexual indulgences lose their erotic edge, McQueen reveals that Fassbender's compulsive behavior is merely a symptom of something else. It's an attempt to bury, or burn through, a childhood trauma he shares with his sister (Carey Mulligan). "We're not bad people," she tells him. "We just come from a bad place."She's not talking about New Jersey.
Like McQueen's Hunger, Shame is a meticulous visual mood piece, but where the installation-artist-turned-filmmaker's debut often crossed the line into grandstanding, Shame more elegantly weds style and content—the exception being Mulligan's draggy nightclub rendition of "New York, New York." Her fizzled tour de force predictably found favor with those who longed for Hunger's self-conscious set pieces. Shame is a more conventionally structured movie, but it's also more assured, the work of a filmmaker rather than a misplaced gallery artist. (Available on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray Tue 17.)

Assembly Candidate Buys Up Opponent's Domain Names
We got this amusing email from Brooklyn Assembly candidate Olanike Alabi over the weekend stating that her Assembly opponent, fellow district leader Walter Mosley, had recently bought up the domain names OlanikeAlabi.com and OlanikeAlabi2012.com.
Neither site appears to be active, but Alabi tells supporters, just in case, that she disavows any posts associated with the two sites in advance.
At the least, this will deprive Alabi of some prime Web real estate, which is likely why Mosley bought the names, though I'm not sure why his campaign didn't do it more anonymously.
The two are running for Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries' seat. Jeffries is aligned with Mosley, while Alabi is seen as aligned with Jeffries' congressional opponent, Congressman Ed Towns. It should be noted that Alabi has been accused of a few far more underhanded campaign tactics herself.
Dear Friends/Community Partners/Elected Officials:
Over the past several months, I have been extremely proud to inform you of developments regarding my political goals, public service and the 2012 election season.
As with most campaigns, while there are positive moments, there are times when we must pause to address unfortunate negative occurrences. Earlier today, my campaign was informed that one of my opponents in the race for the New York State Assembly – 57th District, purchased and registered two domain names; olanikealabi.com<http://
In a short period of time, I will provide you with a website for my campaign so you may obtain accurate information generated by us. The links below and the document attached will provide you with more information regarding that which I have outlined above.
All the best and let's continue to work together for the betterment of our community.
Trackback from your site.

Rockwood's long-time public works director has resigned.
At Monday's city council meeting, Rockwood Mayor James Watts read Tom Pierce's letter of resignation.
Mr. Pierce served as public works director for 15 years. He has been on unpaid administrative leave since February.
He is being investigated for using the city's credit card to buy $6,000 worth of firearms.
Mayor Watts says this is a huge loss for the city of Rockwood.
"Mr. Pierce was an extremely talented individual, did a whole lot of things for the city of Rockwood. We had a tremendous amount of confidence in his ability. We're going to be hurting with the loss of his employment. But we'll move on," said Mayor Watts.
He says Pierce's former position will be filled soon.

I Don't Mind Spending $100 For Gas! Am I Mad? |
Personal Finance - Transportation |
Written by Dave Hilton |
When I tell people I don't really care if I spend $100 or more to fill up my Tahoe, they think I'm as crazy as the Mad Hatter! With all the car manufacturers spending millions of dollars trying to convince people to trade in their "gas guzzler" for something with better gas mileage, I can see why they're confused. I don't mind spending that much because I don't have a car payment. I fill up 4-5 times a month (I get about 500 miles to a tank). So it costs me up to $500 a month plus any maintenance costs (maybe $50-$150 at most) to keep my truck running. But if I, like them, was also handing over another $475 a month to a finance company (the amount Dave Ramsey says is the average car payment)- I would probably want to find something cheaper, too. I plan to run my truck into the ground. When it finally kicks the proverbial bucket and I'm forced to buy something else, maybe I won't be so willing to spending $100 or more to fill up each time either. Although, I hope to save enough money to buy another car with cash before then. We'll just have to see. In the meantime, I feel like having some tea. Clean cup, clean cup...move down! How much do you spend to fill up your car's tank each time and how often a month? Is that on top of a car payment? You Can Always Take More Than Nothing!

Events for July 6
1976 Tuesday - First women's class enters West Point.
1983 Supreme Court rules that women cannot be paid less in their retirement plans.
2005 IOC awards the 2012 Summer Olympic Games to London.
It has happened a few times in our history where two major events happened just a few days apart. On Sunday April 9, 1865 Generals Lee and Grant sat down at Appomattox Court House in Virginia and signed the cease fire agreement ending the civil war. Then five days later on Friday April 14 Lincoln was shot. Although "Hardly a man is now alive" that remembers that famous week and year. Most people now remember Princess Diana's death on Sunday August 31, 1997. Many Americans learned of it that night before while it was still Saturday August 30 our time. Then five days later on Friday September 5 Mother Theresa died.
Sometimes flashbulb memories come at the same time and the intensity can affect people's performances. On Sunday January 25, 1981 there was an announcement during the pre game of the Super Bowl that the hostages had just landed back on American soil, and a ceremony was held at the stadium which delayed the start of the game. Some of the Philadelphia Eagle's players said later that that affected their readiness to play, and used it as the excuse for losing to the Oakland Raiders.
Flashbulb memories can condense with people's personal lives too, particularly if it is a combination of a good memory and a bad memory. A friend of mine settled on his dream home on Tuesday December 29, 1992. Then a few days later on Thursday January 7, 1993 his father died.
Most people will remember that Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding was about the same time as the day Bin Laden was killed. However, if the events had been more than a month apart people would be less likely to make the connection. The further apart the events were the less likely people will remember them together. This is because people link up where they were on the days it happened. The further time lapse the more likely that people will be in a different circumstance.
In tomorrow's blog we will learn more about how people link things together and how you can use that tendency to improve your memory.

Cons: Nothing
Location: Alcatraz, bike ride over the golden gate bridge, cable car to Pier 39 and back and dinner at a Diner. ALL IN ONE DAY. Amazing
travelling with a 12 year old and a 18 year on my own could be quite daunting. Especially in a city we have never been in and being on the other side of the globe. But the friendly staff at the Handlery put all my worries at ease and their informative directions were most helpful. We had a short stay but it was action packed and easy.

Small, but comfortable
Posted Nov 16, 2013Pros: Central location, clean and comfortable bed.
Cons: A dresser and second chair in the room.
Location: A lot of shopping, walk to Chinatown, Telegraph Hill, cable cars. We even walked to Fisherman's Wharf, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes.
We stayed at the Handlery for seven nights and overall, it was a good stay. The room was in the historic section of the building and was quite small. There was no dresser and only one chair, which wasn't the most accommodating situation for two people. However, we really didn't spend a lot of time in the room so it wasn't a big deal. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom, while small, worked for just the two of us. It was very nice having the mini fridge in the room as we were able to buy yogurts and milk for our breakfasts and have cold drinks. It was also nice that they gave us two coffees for the coffee maker instead of just one. We were in one of the inside rooms so we looked out at the windows of other rooms, but it was quiet which made it nice for sleeping. The free wireless also worked well. The central location was also nice as we could walk pretty much anywhere.

ok, I guess...
Posted Nov 14, 2013Pros: location is good. always cabs in front. free wifi.
Cons: nicer rooms.
Location: pretty decent couple of diners 1 block away.
they originally gave a very small, dirty room, with a shower that had zero pressure. I complained. They immediately switch me for a larger, cleaner room, still no pressure (both on the top floor...) but at least, the room itself was fine.
for Everyoneby Major Incident from London
Perfect location and value for money
Posted Nov 12, 2013Pros: The location and the staff
Cons: Provision of wired internet
Location: I also did a 2 day bus tour with Deluxe San Francisco tours costing $30 and it covers 4 loops which includes a night tour of the city.
After having read several reviews, I decided to book this hotel. I was really pleased as the location was ideal for Westfield shopping centre, Big bus tours and other tour pick up points near Union Square. As for the facilities in the hotel, you get free wifi which is erratic during peak hours due to several business people using the facility but despite this, I was happy as it was free. I asked for a twin bedroom and this was catered for. The room and the toilet/shower were adequate size. You also get a fridge, coffee maker, hairdryer and ironing board. I found a coin-op laundry nearby and the Powel-Hyde and Powell-Mason cable car stops are nearby. There is a restaurant associated with the hotel but I did not use it. The reception and housekeeping staff at the hotel were very friendly and attentive. The Concierge and the Bell staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I would stay at this hotel again if I were to visit San Francisco in the future. Transport wise, you can get Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason cable car from Market Street which is near Westfield shopping centre. There can be long queues for the Powell-Hyde cable car as it goes to the top of Lombard Street. You can then come down that street on foot and walk down to Fisherman's wharf and get the F street car to Ferry Building Market and onwards to Market street.

The unions responded:The retirement age for city workers would be jacked up to 65 and new hires would be forced to pay more for their pension plans under sweeping reforms backed by Gov. Cuomo.
Signaling a thaw after their brutal budget brawl, Cuomo is "working with Mayor Bloomberg so that when we do pension reform, it covers the entire state," a Cuomo administration source told the Daily News on Sunday.
Bloomberg has agreed to modify a proposal for new hires he put out in February to conform with the governor's so-called Tier 6 plan, a second Cuomo source said..
Until now, there was some question as to whether the Albany reforms would extend to the city's powerful municipal unions - the Tier 5 changes in 2009 exempted city workers.
The governor wants the Legislature to agree to set a retirement age of 65 for new hires, end early retirement and take overtime out of the pension calculation to prevent what's known as "padding" or "spiking."
He also wants union workers to contribute twice as much to their retirement.
The city, along with other municipalities, has long complained that funding pensions for retirees is a crushing taxpayer burden that can't be sustained as is.
While changing the system for future hires won't address the current issue, proponents say it's crucial in the long term.
"Gov. Cuomo said our taxes are way too high. New York is becoming less and less affordable," the first Capitol source said. "We need to make the state affordable again. ... That's what pension Tier 6 is - it's just another tool."
I have yet to see the unions not roll over in the end in the battle against the oligarchs.Bloomberg's February proposal, seen by some in the labor community as more aggressive than the governor's program, enraged union leaders such as Harry Nespoli of the Municipal Labor Committee.
"The mayor just set back labor relations 40 years," Nespoli said at the time. "We're fed up with this. [He's] going to have a battle. We're not just going to roll over."
Denis Hughes, head of the state AFL-CIO and monitor of the city's Central Labor Council, which is in the process of seeking a new leader to replace former boss Jack Ahern, says neither the Cuomo nor Bloomberg plan is necessary because the economy is on the mend.
"There's really no need for either of these plans, because [the] return on investments in both the state and the city plans have resulted in a decrease in the contribution [governments] have to make to maintain these pension plans," Hughes said.
"The diminishment of the economic security of working men and women is not necessary," Hughes said.
We'll see if they actually fight this or just, you know, roll over.

Time two or three revolutions of a disk after motor on and select before generating the index pulse. If it's a soft-sector disk, you'll see a real index pulse every 200 msec. or so and you can subdivide the rotation accordingly and update your rotational rate metric every revolution. If you see many index pulses, just pass them through as you're handling a hard-sector diskette. You'd need to look at drive select, index and perhaps ready as inputs and ready and index as outputs. At first blush, it appears as if a PIC 12F629 8-pin DIP might just be able to do the job. Cheers, Chuck

Editor's comment: Bristol's licencing rules need careful handling
Posted: August 21, 2013
|T HESE are curious times in the world of the local licensing trade. On the one hand we frequently hear of public houses closing and people bewailing their loss to the community.
Yet on the other hand there appears to be an increasingly voracious appetite for the consumption of alcohol, a demand which results in many more premises seeking licences to sell it.
It's quite a contrast but the latter is often accompanied with all the problems alcohol consumption can bring: loud music late at night; anti-social behaviour; vandalism; even violence.
So it will be interesting to see what happens if new rules restricting the sale of alcohol in two parts of Bristol – Southville and Bedminster – are adopted by the city council.
A scrutiny committee meets at the end of the week to decide if these plans, to make the two districts a Cumulative Impact Area, should proceed.
Local residents' opinion is, apparently, behind the plans which would make it more difficult to get a drinks licence, thereby reducing the number of such outlets.
Such a move is a difficult balancing act, though, and the council must ensure it produces the desired effect for the residents without, effectively, spoiling the vibrancy of the area.

The Federal minimum wage has been frozen at $3.35 an hour for six years. In some states, it now compares unfavorably even with welfare benefits available without working. It's no wonder then that Edward Kennedy, the new chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, is being pressed by organized labor to battle for an increase.
No wonder, but still a mistake. Anyone working in America surely deserves a better living standard than can be managed on $3.35 an hour. But there's a virtual consensus among economists that the minimum wage is an idea whose time has passed. Raising the minimum wage by a substantial amount would price working poor people out of the job market. A far better way to help them would be to subsidize their wages or - better yet - help them acquire the skills needed to earn more on their own.
An increase in the minimum wage to, say, $4.35 would restore the purchasing power of bottom-tier wages. It would also permit a minimum-wage breadwinner to earn almost enough to keep a family of three above the official poverty line. There are catches, however. It would increase employers' incentives to evade the law, expanding the underground economy. More important, it would increase unemployment: Raise the legal minimum price of labor above the productivity of the least skilled workers and fewer will be hired.

Former Ohio State Buckeye Marcus Freeman's Career Over Due To Enlarged Heart
"It was hard to hear that football was being taken away, but life is much bigger than that for me," Freeman said earlier this week. "Sooner or later you're going to be done. Even though I can't play anymore I still have a love and a passion for it. I'll just turn the page to the next chapter in my life."
Any good news to this?
"Coach (Jim) Tressel gave me the opportunity to be on the staff," he said. "It's a lot different than playing, but it's exciting because it gives me the chance to stay close to football."

Alfa Held in Contempt for Second Time by US Court; Telenor's VimpelCom Shares Arrested in Russia
Press Releases:
A US federal court in New York yesterday held four Alfa Group companies in contempt for the second time for their failure to comply with the court's orders confirming the Kyivstar arbitration award. Shortly after the hearing ended, Telenor heard rumours that a Russian bailiff acting on behalf of Farimex Product, Inc. had arrested all of Telenor's shares in Russian mobile operator VimpelCom. This was confirmed this morning.
The US Federal Court for the Southern District of New York on 11 March granted Telenor's motion requesting that Alfa Group companies Altimo, Alpren, Hardlake and Storm be held in contempt of court for their failure to obey orders of the District Court and US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upholding Telenor's arbitration award against Alfa Group subsidiary Storm.
Alfa to pay heavy daily fines
The Court found that none of the four Alfa Group companies had complied with the Court's 19 November, 2008 order because they failed to deposit Storm's Kyivstar shares with the Court and ordered Alfa to pay fines of 100,000 USD per day, beginning on 12 March until they comply with the order, with such amount doubling to 200,000 USD per day 30 days thereafter, and to $400,000 per day 30 days after that, and continuing to double every 30 days until they are no longer in contempt. The Court ordered the four Alfa Group companies to secure the dismissal of the collusive EC Venture litigation in Ukraine by 23 March and imposed escalating fines in similar amounts commencing on 24 March if they fail to comply. The Court again ordered Storm to sell its Kyivstar shares by 23 March, unless within that period, Alfa has sold its shares in excess of 5% of Turkcell and Ukrainian High Technologies, with additional fines to be payable in amounts to be determined if they do not comply. The Court also ordered the four Alfa companies to pay Telenor's attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the contempt motion.
"No intention of complying"
In his decision, Judge Gerard E. Lynch of the Southern District of New York said:
It is now crystal clear that there is only one language that Storm understands, and only one way to secure compliance. Nothing else works. And I am finished trying to come up with restrained responses to Storm's defiance. It is time to do what it takes to secure compliance. — [It] is apparent that Storm and the Altimo Entities have had no intention of complying with the Court's order of November 2, 2007 …
Telenor's shares arrested
Within less than two hours after Judge Lynch read out his decision at the hearing in New York, Telenor heard rumours that a Russian bailiff working with Farimex had arrested Telenor's shares in VimpelCom by serving an arrest order on the National Registry Company, VimpelCom's Moscow share registrar. This was confirmed Thursday morning.
"This is a yet another escalation of the attempts to steal our VimpelCom shares with the aid of Russian courts," said Jan Edvard Thygesen, Executive Vice President and Head of Telenor's Central and East European operations. "It seems clear that the arrest order was served in retaliation for Judge Lynch's decision in New York, and that the arrest of our VimpelCom shares is intended to prevent the enforcement of Judge Lynch's most recent decision. We have not received an original writ of execution, nor have we received any formal notification of the arrest of our VimpelCom shares. Furthermore we have no intention of paying the outrageous 1.7 billion USD damage claim awarded by the Omsk court based on what we regard as an illegal court ruling. We have appealed the ruling and will request a stay of enforcement proceedings. If, despite our request for a stay, our investment in VimpelCom is stolen, we would regard this as a criminal act against Telenor and its shareholders," said Thygesen.
In other Russian court proceedings similar to the Farimex case, valuable assets have been auctioned off to obscure entities in non-transparent circumstances in exchange for unsecured promissory notes or other minimal consideration. Telenor has appealed the decision of the Omsk court and believes that that ruling has no merit.
"This is no longer just a dispute between two shareholders, but has entered a phase where illegal acts, supported by Russian courts, will affect Telenor's shareholders directly and will seriously damage Russia's reputation internationally. We trust the Russian government will understand how such grave miscarriages of justice can have a huge negative impact on the future of foreign investment in Russia and take actions to prevent this from happening," said Thygesen.
Telenor holds 29.9 per cent of the voting shares (33.6 per cent of the common shares) in VimpelCom through its subsidiary Telenor East Invest AS.

EATON, Preble County —
Police arrested a man on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and child endangerment, after he was reportedly driving drunk with a 5-year-old inside the vehicle early Thursday morning, according to police.
Adam Caylor, 25, was booked into the Preble County jail following his arrest at 215 Miller Avenue around 4:45 a.m. Thursday, officers said.
Officers received a call from a woman in the 800 block of Cypress Lane, who told officers Caylor was at her home intoxicated and was attempting to leave the house with the 5-year-old, police said. Caylor reportedly left the house in an older model white pickup with no tailgate and the child was inside the vehicle, officers said.
Police were able to locate the vehicle at the home on Miller, according to officials
The Eaton Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident.

I'm looking for industrial strength hardware protection for a server that will have digital downloads. If software methods could be employed, I'd be interested as well, but I'm sure I need hardware protection. The method of sales are being dealt with by other parties, my job is to recommend security for this T3 server, which is based on the east coast of the states, and I'm mainly responsible for running. I need to make a recommendation to the owner as soon as possible. I've looked at many hardware firewall solutions, the best of course being much too expensive. This has to be something easy to employ, as I'm a continent away, and can't be there to install it. The owner at this time does not have a lot of funds for this. Any ideas for this anyone? Go easy on me, I'm more hardware tech than IS guy, so some of this is a bit new, but I have to learn it....
You're doing sales, you need someone with knowledge to install it and configure it, you honestly cant get a good solution that a newbie can install. The server itself needs to be hardened. If its running IIS or apache, make sure to follow guides for hardening those solutions, there are also several for windows server 2003/2008 and variants of Linux on how to harden them. You'll want to configure software firewalls properly, allow as little as you need to for the server to run. Install some anti virus, whether Linux or Windows. Linux has clam AV, for windows go with something commercial. For a firewall, really depends what kind of traffic you're to expect. The Cisco ASA's for example can handle a lot of traffic in the higher models, like ISP amounts. So you could look at one of the lower models maybe, see if they're in price range. If not, DLink sells commercial firewalls for a reasonable price. As does Barracuda. If this is a web server, you may want to place it in a DMZ on the firewall. But if it just interfaces with one, put it behind the firewall and your web server on the DMZ, and just allow communications between the two that are needed.
Have a look at Juniper for a firewall solution. They tend to be just as good as Cisco, a good bit cheaper and mostly managed and configured via a GUI.
are you looking for protection against intrusion? DOS? or simply to protect the downloads from unauthorized download ? how are you distributing the files? http? ftp? do you need to protect a whole network or just a single machine?
Ug, I think I need to talk to the team more about this. Probably http download link with ssl enabled verisign link or similar. There's even talk about linking through GoDaddy. I don't know much about this yet, so I don't know what to recommend yet. I believe the server itself is on linux, and on some kind of secure rack, possibly with a linux firewall in front of it. It may get shifted to the windows server I manage however, and that worries me. I think intrusion is the least of my worries, but still a concern, I'm worried more about secure transactions of the product. I would only need to protect a single server for this. This may be a bit above our heads yet, but they insist on going ahead. So, any tips, yes please!
If it is indeed a webserver, IIS is actually more secure than apache. There's little configuration needed out of the box with it. And since it is used less than Apache, it is attacked less. If you're worried about transactions across the web, ssl enabled verisign is a good way to go.
secure transactions, aye? a lot of it depends on what billing company (if any) your organization goes through. a lot of times going with a third party billing company saves money and is more secure. transactions are done over SSL and on THEIR servers. you simply provide a link or some sort of form to make the transaction. i don't know of any specific software as these will be web based purchases i am guessing. after purchase, you can allow http or ftp downloads. personally, ftp is the way to go. every purchase should generate a unique ID and KEY that can be used to authorize the download. if you are worried about somebody being able to intrude on your network and download data without authorization make sure you have strict security settings. have at least 1 firewall in front of the host server. are you guys co-locating your servers? that would be the best bet if security is an issue. they tend to handle all of that and provide their clients with a best practice guide so you can understand how they operate and ways to keep all of your downloads secure.

I feel if treat everything that comes in and out of your life with respect no matter if its your relationships, clothes, car, anything… You will get the most out of them while you have them in your possession.

One of five OverseeR-artists based out of Oregon. Be sure to stay tuned for products, news and art by Ethan. He's going global.
My name is Ethan Blackwell and I am a 21-year-old artist from Eugene, Oregon going to school to pursue a career in Environmental Engineering with a minor in Visual art at Oregon State University. As a child I wasn't involved with art but as I got into middle school I developed a passion for drawing. I started drawing cartoons in class when I got bored and I just kept at it ever since. I love to draw new things and experiment with what I think looks cool. Everything that I see in this world, whether it is something someone else draws, something I see in nature or something that randomly pops into my head, inspires me. Art gives me a chance to expand my mind and show the world images that are wild a crazy. My ability to draw as taught me many things and I will continue to learn from art as long as I live.

The day's planetary aspect offers a good reminder to make sleep your priority. Remember that sleep nurtures you more than anything. Many people find themselves restless at bedtime. When the mind quiets down at night, many things can rush in and distract you from continuing to relax. It can help to establish a routine, like what you may have done as a child, to remember how to properly fall asleep. Follow the same routine each night, and your body will help you ease into relaxing dreamland.

I remember clearly a New York Times comprehensive overview of 2008, "Generation Faithful" on youth in the Arab world. What I remember most clearly from the one or two reports I read in that series was the term "delayed adulthood", indicating that some, if not many or most youth in the Arab world suffered from the restrictions of a traditional society, making it difficult for them to assert themselves in pursuit of or even having the freedom to cultivate their personal visions for their lives. This problem was described as exacerbated by economic challenges in some of those countries.
Come January 2011 and a young man called Mohamed Bouazizi incinerated himself in protest in Tunisia and that old picture of Arab youth has changed and continues to change, well after the fire ignited by Bouazizi burnt beyond his lifeless body to engulf the governments of then Tunisian President Ben Ali, later that of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, moving the Saudi king to quell planned demonstrations with financial bribes, flames that the government of Assad in Syria is struggling to put out on its soil through desperate, bloody repression of his own people who are tired of his dictatorship, in the face of world leaders urging him to step down and end the charade of imposing himself on his people. Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, the quintessential strongman, is having his braggadocio thrown in his face as rebels entered the capital Tripoli yesterday, Sunday , 21 August 2011, after months of desperate fighting and capturing of two of Gadaffi's sons as the first bloody conflict in the Arab Spring reaches a climax and a finale.
There have been demonstrations in Israel, another heavily regimented society, highly militarised, and ideologically primed to pervasive conformism by the race centred interpretation of Zionist ideology, demonstrations relating to economic issues. Meanwhile, youth of various races and social classes in England in August 2011 have demonstrated in mindless violence, which, though ignited by a perceivedly unjust killing by the police, degenerated from a demonstration into days of opportunistic, organised theft and wanton destruction of property.
What are the winds of change signalling?
A new world order is emerging that owes nothing to the ideological configurations that have for long sought to create one or to maintain the status quo. Al-Qaeda has tried and failed for decades to create something like the regime change emerging in the Arab world.
The Western alliance of Europe and the US have their old power configurations shaken and have scrambled to make themselves relevant in the new equations emerging with shocking speed-without them Gaddafi is almost certain to have long triumphed in Libya, desperate as he was, he would have used all his resources, far superior to what the rebels had, but the NATO No-Fly-Zone and NATO bombing against him meant the he was not going to win.
It is almost as clear as daylight that Assad will not remain in power in Syria. All the Syrian rebels need to do is to keep agitating. Assad will either have to capitulate peacefully or resist violently. Whichever way he chooses, his legitimacy is destroyed. Violent responses on his part further underscore his illegitimacy and creates ripples globally that makes his position further untenable.
A new world is emerging, a world we woke up to as we entered this year, a world that nobody foresaw.
A Yoruba proverb states that because the factors that define tomorrow are different from those that define today, the diviner divines afresh everyday.
What is the global picture within and beyond the Arab world in terms of representative government, government, that, in its ideal form, is chosen by the ruled to represent it? The kind of government unforgettably described by then US President Abraham Lincoln at the grounds of the historic Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War, government of the people, for the people and by the people, which, to adapt Lincoln, is a vision that shall never perish from the earth.
Two countries represent two polarities in the sheer imposition of rulership on a populace: Saudi Arabia and China. As far as I know, the other dictatorships are regular dictatorships, ruling by sheer brute force and political manipulation and little more.
Saudi Arabia and China are related in the correlation of economic power, centralising ideology and dictatorship. An acquaintance summed up the Saudi situation: " They have so much money, they dont care". This connection between economic empowerment and mental and emotional quiescence was underscored by the successful quelling of planned demonstrations in that country by the Saudi king's sudden spreading of fresh economic largess to the populace when a demonstration was planned. A Saudi citizen protested to a journalist that what was at stake was dignity, not money, but as far as I know, the demonstrations never held.
The only protest I have read coming out of Saudi Arabia is that of women quietly insisting on driving themselves in defiance of the law that women should not drive. Meanwhile, a grand new university has been built for women only. How far can a society grow under a quasi-benign dictatorship in which the populace have no voice, not even a semblance of a voice, as in some dictatorships, in selecting their own leaders , where the idea of women driving cars and men and women interacting outside marriage except under the strictest supervision is seen as a pursuit worthy of the investment of large amounts of state capital? How do we assess the level of social, economic, political and cultural development of a state like Saudi Arabia which has the means to buy all the expertise it needs from countries where progress has been rapid compared to the feudal, traditionalist and even medieval society of Saudi Arabia in spite of all its money and its role as providing most of the central source of the world's energy?
China brutally quelled the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989 and is described by the Wikipedia article on the demonstration as repressing memory of the demonstrations within China through careful manipulation of information and through state terror. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist party operates, not in the ideal Communist spirit of "all animals are equal" to adapt George Orwell's expression from his anti-Communist satire Animal Farm, but in terms of the policy that "some animals are more equal than others" in which state leadership is determined purely by a small group of self selecting Communist party officials, with no public input. Attention is deflected from what I expect is the total control of political decision making and policy by this self perpetuating elite by the creation of a policy of economic liberalisation that has created perhaps the largest spread of economic empowerment across classes in Chinese history. But is China sitting on a time bomb, as someone put it? For how long can the disconnection between economic and political empowerment continue?
To explore the possible outcomes in the Saudi and Chinese scenarios, it might be useful to examine the lead up to the political revolutions that changed the configurations of Europe, particularly in France and Russia and also China and Iran. These revolutions seemed to have been the combination of the work of ideologues like Thomas Paine, Karl Marx, Mao Tse Tung and the Ayatollah Khomeni as well as in France and the Soviet Union, the momentum created by sheer public grief at their lot by the citizens of those countries. .The Arab revolutions of 2011 had no systematised ideologies.They emerged fully formed, comparatively speaking, through a process of ideological unfolding in the midst of action that will be most fruitful to explore-Ideological Unfolding in the Midst of Action : The Arab Spring, the report of such an investigation could read.
Will ideologies emerge to shape, constellate and focus public opinion in Saudi Arabia and China? Can those who create such ideologies catalyse responses from a dormant populace? May we anticipate another event like Fang Lizhi's catalysing of vigrous movement for economic and political reform in China through his active spreading of his ideas through lectures at different sites in China, ideas described by Wikipedia articleon Fang as inspiring the pro-democracy student movement of 1986-87 and, finally, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989? If such active dissent within China is not likely, can it be done from without, as the Ayatollah Khomeni did from exile, working towards what became the Iranian Revolution?
On another front, can we anticipate a radical restructuring of the Israeli/ Palestinian political configuration by fresh thinking and bold action from a new generation, a generation different from the mindset of a Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Israeli Prime Minister, who, carrying on a legacy he seems to have inherited from his father, the famed Israeli historian, Benzion Netanyahu, represents a culture of race centred ideologues who are committed to racial assertion as driving geo-political imperatives ? Can the notion of racial purity in determining the character of a state by government fiat be sustained, the notion in terms of which the Zionist vision that is central to Jewish return to their homeland after centuries of dispersion is currently understood?
Can a unified new mentality emerge in the Palestinian side that is able to dialogue with the Israelis in terms that are self assertive while recognising the necessity of a shared destiny?
Will the Palestinians and the Israelis be able manoeuvre successfully in pursuing their mutual interests against the efforts of so-called friends of theirs who do not want peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians on terms that suit both parties?
These questions about Israel and Palestinian are central to the global picture in the Arab world, China and even the West. This relevance is summed up by the Egyptian who spoke in wonder of the daring of the youth who initiated the rebellion against Mubarak, that his own generation could not have conceived of such a rebellion. This affirmation of the need for minds unwarped by fear, untramelled by decades of repression, is highlighted, unforgettably, in the self sacrifice of Muhammed Buazizi that inaugurated this supreme conflagration. .
Various ideologies preach the value of self sacrifice but this example stands as one of the most significant in history. It is perhaps even more resonant and directly effective than the self sacrifice of Socrates or the reported self sacrifice of Jesus.
The immediate repercussions of Muhammed Buazizi's sacrifice of self , emerge, not in the affirmation of philosophic speculation that Socrates championed, since Socrates' self sacrifice and his absolute commitment to living out the practical implications of his philosophical reflections does not seem to have featured largely in the philosophical tradition he inaugurated, with his most famous disciple and populariser Plato rightly described by Karl Popper as anti-democratic in The Open Society and its Enemies, Vol.1: The Spell of Plato, and Western philosophy being largely an Ivory Tower pursuit by comfortably salaried academics whose correlation between life and thought, if any, is not part of the picture that this philosophical culture is centred in.
Buazizi's self sacrifice does not emphasise a culture of inward looking rebellion against the status quo, even at the risk of death, as with Jesus' more ardent disciples.
Buazizi's self sacrifice has led to a large scale social restructuring in which there is little role for maintaining the status quo, unlike, sadly, the Christian restructuring of civilisation where the status quo of human values is often sustained under a new rubric provided by Christianity
Unless a seed falls into the ground, it abideth alone. Only by being buried can it grow. He who seeks to save his life shall lose it. He who loses his life shall save it. The Galilean sage spoke those mysterious words about the value of self sacrifice. The accounts of his life indicate that he followed through with that understanding and his disciples continue to multiply under the banner of his self sacrifice, regardless of how self sacrificing they are themselves.
Will the Saudis be able to sacrifice the numbing effects of economic comforts to demand respect for their humanity as thinking people who have a right to decide who rules them and how? Religion is the opium of the people, Marx rightly observed, even though it can also be a liberator.Islam remains strong globally as a religion that has not suffered the attenuation of power that has been the fate of Christianity in Europe, a religion which never recovered from the Reformation, the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions and the political upheavals that created modern Europe. Islam functions successfully as a controlling force in Saudi Arabia, a force reinforced by traditionalist attitudes sustained through information blackouts achieved by limiting the information its citizens are able to access , particularly from the outside world, so citizen's awareness is carefully structured.
Will the Chinese be able to escape the screen of eating fat and ask themselves why they cannot decide who governs them and the rules by which they are governed?
With reference to Europe and North America, whose model of development has dominated the world since the days of the English Empire- I understand that empire as English, not British, since England was an empire builder within Britain-, for how long can it sustain its central capitalist and quasi-elitist Democratic model based as it is on a purely materialist understanding of existence?
With the debilitation of of centralising mythologies, what remains is the devotion to what can be appreciated within the brief life span on earth. But civilisation has long gone beyond that limited vision. Collectively, human civilisation has not been able to harmonise that sensitivity to the post and pre-terrestrial with the incisive mastery of the material form of the terrestrial that Western civilisation has made a global model.
The future needs to address this need for the harmony of terrestrial, post and pre-terrestrial values in terms of the global summation of human civilisation.
