Neighbors and Enemies in Modern Germany
Spring 2014
Neighbors and Enemies in Modern Germany
Manuela Achilles
A biblical injunction, first articulated in Leviticus and then elaborated in the Christian teachings, stipulates that one should love one's neighbor as oneself. This course explores the friend/enemy nexus in German history, literature and culture. Of particular interest is the figure of the neighbor as both an imagined extension of the self, and as an object of fear or even hatred. We will examine the vulnerability and anxiety generated by Germany's unstable and shifting territorial borders, as well as the role that fantasies of foreign infiltration played in defining German national identity. We will also examine the racial and sexual politics manifested in Germany's real or imagined encounters with various foreign "others." Most importantly, this course investigates the tensions in German history and culture between a chauvinist belief in German racial or cultural superiority and moments of genuine openness to strangers. In the concluding part of this course, we will examin e the changing meanings of friendship and hospitality in a globalizing world. All readings and discussions are in English. Requirements include regular attendance, one in-class presentation, and three five-page essays. There will be no mid-term or final examinations. No prerequisites.

VIDEO: Daily Zap for Wednesday's playoff games
Horford saves the Hawks | Warriors find the formula | Gasol says he'll play Thursday | Rockets hoping to attack again | Casey to return as Raptors coach
No. 1: Horford saves the Hawks — After Paul Pierce drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 14 seconds left, the Atlanta Hawks were in danger of going down 3-2 with the conference semifinals heading back to Washington, against an opponent that had it's point guard back. But Al Horford saved the day, rebounding Dennis Schroder's miss and putting it back in the basket to put the Hawks on the brink of reaching the conference finals for the first time in 45 years. Sekou Smith was at The Highlight Factory for the wild finish…
So if there is anyone affiliated with the Hawks who understood the significance of winning this game on this night, with all that was riding on the outcome, it was Horford.
The Hawks have checked every box during his journey from rookie sensation to face of the franchise. First up was just making the playoffs. Then it was advancing past the first round and now comes that final hurdle, making it to unchartered territory that is the conference finals … and perhaps beyond.
"It means a lot," Horford said of crunch time play, "but more importantly we won. We all get to celebrate. And it's about our team. I was just in that position and I just made a play. I'm just excited we're in a position of 3-2 now, and took care of home … and now we have a chance to go up to D.C. and wrap the series up."
No. 2: Warriors find the formula — The Golden State Warriors were the best team in the regular season (by a wide margin), thanks to top-two rankings in both offensive and defensive efficiency. And they outplayed the Memphis Grizzlies on both ends of the floor in Game 5 of the conference semis on Wednesday to take a 3-2 series lead, as Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle writes…
The Warriors laugh at Charles Barkley and others, who say their jump-shooting team can't win a NBA title.
They laugh, because the Warriors know they aren't merely a jump-shooting team.
They also sport the league's best defense as they showed Wednesday night at Oracle Arena, where they made 14 three-pointers on one end and played championship-level defense on the other in beating the Grizzlies 98-78 and taking a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
Of the 180 NBA teams that have broken a 2-2 tie by winning Game 5 of a seven-game series, 81.7 percent have won the series. Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday at Memphis' FedExForum.
"Our intent is to go down there and try to play the kind of defense we've played the past two games, which has really turned this series," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. "I said the first couple of games that our defense was good enough, but it wasn't championship defense. I was wrong. It wasn't good enough. This is what it's going to take, this kind of defense from tonight and Game 4."
No. 3: Gasol says he'll play Thursday — The Chicago Bulls' season will be on the line in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Thursday (8 p.m. ET, TNT). So Pau Gasol, who's officially listed as "probable" by his team, says he'll fight through whatever hamstring pain he has after missing the last two games (two Cleveland wins). Our Steve Aschburner has the story…
"I mean, right now it's win or go home," the 7-footer told reporters at the Bulls' Advocate Center practice facility. "There's nothing left but tomorrow's game. What percentage I'll be able to play? I don't know, but whatever percentage I will be, that's what I'll give."
Gasol, after doing a light workout Tuesday, said he felt no ill effects in his leg and he upped his rehab Wednesday to run a little harder, get up some shots and work through some basketball plays. He has not tried to jump yet and sounded as if his goal is shorter stints than his usual 32-34 minutes.
No. 4: Rockets hoping to attack again — No team in NBA history attempted more 3-pointers than this year's Houston Rockets. But the Rockets extended their historical season by outscoring the Clippers 64-46 in the paint in Game 5 on Tuesday. To get Game 7 back on their home floor, they're looking to do the same thing in Game 6 on Thursday (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), as Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle writes…
It was as much as anything the key to the Rockets escaping the ignominy and damage of their lost weekend in Los Angeles with a blowout win of their own to cut the Clippers' series lead to 3-2 heading into Thursday's Game 6.
There was, however, one more benefit that came with going at the Clippers instead of trying in vain to go around them. It's better to hit than be hit. That's not just a strategy, though the Rockets' success on Tuesday started there.
"Basketball is a mindset," McHale said. "Everybody is really talented. It usually is the toughest minded team that's going to win."
Though much of the series, that had been the Clippers. On Tuesday, the Rockets turned that around by attacking the paint as they had throughout the season.
No. 5: Casey to return as Raptors coach — Before the playoffs began, Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri said that the postseason "influences everything" in regard to his offseason decisions. So, because the Raptors were swept by the Wizards in embarrassing fashion, we can expect some changes in Toronto. But those changes won't start with the head coach, as Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports. Dwane Casey, who has another guaranteed year left on his contract, will be back for fifth season with the Raptors …
No news is good news for Dwane Casey.
While Raptors president/general manager Masai Ujiri has not declared one way or the other whether Casey will be back as the team's head coach next season since the team crumpled to the mat in four games against the Washington Wizards, his return is not in question, sources have told the Sun.
What is less clear, is whether his coaching staff will remain intact, or whether there will be some alterations.
As multiple reports have indicated, there has been discussion about shaking up a staff that includes Bill Bayno, Nick Nurse, Tom Sterner, Jesse Mermuys and Jama Mahlalela (director of sports science Alex McKechnie also is an assistant coach), but what is not being said out loud is that nothing has yet been finalized and maintaining the status quo is also a possibility.
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: John Wall came back from his broken hand and almost led the Wizards to a huge win … After a quick start, the Grizzlies couldn't keep up with the Warriors on Wednesday … Matthew Dellavedova picked up an after-the-fact technical foul for the leg lock that preceded Taj Gibson's flagrant foul in Game 4 … The Clippers aim to be better in their second chance to close out the Rockets … The Miami Heat, heading to the Lottery for the first time in seven years, should like what they see wherever they draft … and when it comes to the Draft, don't underestimate the importance of the interview.
ICYMI: Al Horford rebounds the missed layup by Dennis Schroder and puts it back to win game 5 for the Hawks:

Our 2013 printed campaign materials included a new feature: Augmented reality. Through the use of a smartphone app you can view videos of the stories shown inside the print piece and listen to audio clips of donors shown.
Video not playing? Click here to view it on YouTube.
In August, we also participated in a Twitter chat on the topic.
Augmented reality brings print media into the digital world in ways that enchant and encourage an audience to engage more deeply with content.
For content marketers on this week's #contentchat, it evoked fascinating possibilities and plenty of questions. Luckily, our guest Christoph Trappe of United Way of Central Iowa was on hand to discuss how the organization has used the technology for its own content marketing.
Thanks to Jen Neumann's tip the next United Way print piece offers multimedia content through Layar.
One more Layar app screen shot of the print brochure. So glad this is working.

The recipe was very easy to follow and adaptable for a large crowd. I think a thicker, heartier bread may work better than the egg or similar less dense breads. Had to bake it a bit longer than the recipe states to obtain the right crispness. The citrus syrup was excellent but only a little bit was needed; I'd cut the recipe in half. A true crowd pleaser!flag if inappropriate
I used challah bread and peach preserves, cut the sugar in half and eliminated the orange and lemon rind-- cardamom definitely yummy. added cinnamon. I was worried it would be soggy but it came out both easy to cut up with a plastic fork at a party, but also browned and crisp on edges like french toast should be. I used more bread than called for in order to fill the pan and was wondering if I should have made more egg/cream sauce...perhaps I will try increasing sauce by 50%, but it was very good as is, plenty of compliments. I would also like to try serving it with the peach compote listed with another, french toast recipe on the site (but not an overnight recipe.) Not sure if the compote would make things too soggy-- but could be added later.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a May Breakfast, and everyone liked it, and requested the recipe. It was pretty easy to make. I couldn't find egg bread either, so I used Challah, cutting thick slices. I didn't have cardamom, so I used a little nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. I soaked the bread overnight, which was fine, and while cooking, the french toast puffed up beautifully, but then deflated shortly after I took it from the oven. I made the syrup, but I didn't use it, as syrup made from corn syrup seems gross. I might try to find a lighter, thinner citrus sauce elsewhere to go with it.flag if inappropriate
I make this dish often, and it is always a huge success. I add Grand Marinier to the egg mixture . . .yum! Frequently I do without the citrus syrup and serve it with pure maple syrup.flag if inappropriate
This is great! We used a lot more marmalade and a little more bread but otherwise followed the recipe. It was good do-ahead dish and could handle sitting around after it was cooked. The syrup was wonderful, too--I expected it to be a bit too much but it was perfect.flag if inappropriate
The flavoring was good, but the french toast itself was NOT impressive, maybe due to the quality of the bread--?? I don't know, but it wasn't worth the time or calories.flag if inappropriate
I've made this recipe several times with modifications and LOVE it! I couldn't find egg bread but the recipe worked great with an Italian/French bread that is not pre-sliced. I prefer apricot jam - so used it instead of the orange marmelade. Also used an apricot syrup. Will definitely make it again and again. I'll keep looking for egg bread!flag if inappropriate
This is great for when you have guests sleeping over--just rise early and pop it into the oven and let them awake with the aromas. Although, it took more prep time the night before than I would have liked. The cardamom does add flare to the traditional french toast. I liked that there was no frying slice after slice of bread.flag if inappropriate
Made this dish as part of a brunch buffet for 15. This was my first attempt at entertaining and it was a smash hit. Everyone loved it and was impressed. Did the prep work the night before and then baked it just before the guests arrived -- this and the orange sauce made the house smell great!flag if inappropriate
Everyone I have ever made this for asks for the recipe; it's a great simple do-ahead brunch dish. I have substituted whole milk for the cream with good results. I don't use nearly as much marmalade as the recipe calls for but enough to get the orange flavor across. I haven't served this with the citus syrup -- maple syrup tastes great with it. Make this french toast and you won't need to try another recipe ever again!!flag if inappropriate

It has been known for some time that deacetylase prevents the skeletal muscle gene from being expressed, which inhibits myoblasts from forming muscle. The research team has found that under certain conditions, deacetylase inhibitors (DIs) in myoblasts enhance muscle gene expression and muscle fiber formation.
Knowledge of how DIs act against deacetylase is providing important insights on potential ways to correct problems that occur during embryonic muscle development. This research may also lead to methods to induce muscle growth, regeneration and repair in adults.
Simona Iezzi, Ph.D., and Vittorio Sartorelli, M.D., in the NIAMS Muscle Gene Expression Group, along with Pier Lorenzo Puri, M.D., at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and other investigators at the University of Rome, exposed human and mouse myoblasts to DIs while they were dividing or after placement in a medium that stimulates myoblasts to become muscle cells. The researchers found that exposing dividing human and mouse myoblasts to a DI increased the levels of muscle proteins and led to a dramatic increase in the formation of muscle fibers. Similar experiments were done in developing mouse embryos, resulting in an increased number of somites (the regions of the embryo from which muscle cells are derived) and augmented expression of muscle genes.
Dr. Sartorelliĺs group continues to investigate how the myoblasts are stimulated to fuse into myotubules. One theory is that the performance of poorly differentiated myoblasts is enhanced when they are recruited by cells with a good capacity to differentiate. Further research will be directed at discovering whether the cells that have been induced to form muscle will restore muscle function when transplanted into a mouse model of muscular dystrophy. In addition, the researchers at the NIAMS Muscle Gene Expression Group plan to expose adult muscle stem cells from a mouse model to DIs to understand their biology and their potential use as therapeutic tools.
The mission of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases is to support research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases, the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research, and the dissemination of information on research progress in these diseases.

Any Steeler fan talking about not missing Troy Polamalu needs a reality check.
If that doofus happened to agree with one of my opinions, that would probably cause me to start re-thinking my opinion.
Bayless is simply an airbag who spouts out contrarian ideas in order to get a rise out of people.
Talk to me when an knowledgable NFL mind (former player/coach/GM) agrees with you, not some newspaper blowhard.
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State

6.199) Letterius Walton, DT, Central Michigan
6.212) Anthony Chickillo, DE, Miami
7.239) Gerod Holliman, FS, Louisville
The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?
I hit him as hard as I could - Jack Lambert
Looking at some of the Polamalu comments makes me think some have come full circle on Troy and returned to Bustamalu.
If you have, I think you've lost your mind.
Were you also on board the "dump Woodson" bandwagon back in the day, due to his contract/injury? How'd that work out for us?
Skip Bayless is a blowhard and a tool bag.
I listen to ESPN radio and his show from time to time. And sometimes he has some interesting things to say. And some of the guests are good. But it does get annoying when they have to disagree and argue senseless positions. I guess that's just like all of us afterall.

Dr Lily Kahn's Grammar of the Eastern European Hasidic Hebrew Tale
A Grammar of the Eastern European Hasidic Hebrew Tale provides the first detailed linguistic analysis of the Hebrew narrative literature composed in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Eastern Europe by followers of the Hasidic spiritual movement. It presents a thorough description of Hasidic Hebrew orthography, morphology, syntax, and lexis illustrated with extensive examples. Attention is devoted to the relationship between Hasidic Hebrew and its biblical, rabbinic, and medieval antecedents; to its links with Aramaic, contemporaneous Maskilic Hebrew, and its authors' native Yiddish; and to its contributions to Modern (Israeli) Hebrew. The grammar fills a major scholarly gap on the diachronic development of Hebrew and as such will be a key resource for anyone interested in the language's history. More...

11/19/2012: One of the weirder moments of Bob Berdahl's brief UO interregnum was his videotaped rant at the May Senate meeting, when the students asked to add one more member to the IAC. We must have pissed away 30 minutes of 30 people's lives debating that. Berdahl drew a line in the sand on this for one simple reason: the IAC was for it. You know you're in Absurdistan when the debate starts with Senate Pres Kyr reading a statement that says "The Committee on Committees does not want to act in a way that reflects badly on Interim President Berdahl, however, …" Ben Eckstein was eloquent – students pay, they should have a say – but Hubin had twisted some arms behind the scenes and the vote failed. Things have changed though. Last week President Gottfredson quietly added a sixth student. No drama. Thanks for that, Mr. President.

"The recent collapse in oil prices is part of a larger drama — the last act in the commodity 'supercycle' that began more than a decade ago. That is why the 50 percent fall in oil prices means not only hard times for the petroleum industry but also portends distress for commodity-exporting nations and the world economy." — Dan Yergin

The 2nd International Conference focusing on Academic Identities will be hosted by the Centre for Academic Practice and Learning Enhancement at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
We hope this conference will be of interest to all those who work in higher education: in teaching, research, learner support and the 'new professional' roles.
The programme is now available and registration is open.
Conference delegates may be aware of European travel disruption due to volcanic ash. Intermittent travel difficulties are being experienced at short notice throughout European air space. Delegates due to fly to Glasgow to take part in the conference are advised to check with their airlines or travel agents. Please be aware that difficulties are related to weather conditions, and as such, subject to rapid and short notice change. Further information can be found on the University's website, http://www.strath.ac.uk/travelinformation/ and also from the Glasgow Airport website, http://www.glasgowairport.com
Our keynote speakers are:
Can we re-imagine academic life? A cursory glance at the British higher education trade press gives us headlines bemoaning standards, worries over global and institutional competitiveness, and concerns about practices from marking to contact hours. Despite long-cherished notions of academic freedom and autonomy, all would seem to be doom and gloom. How, in what appear to be such depressing circumstances, can we construct meaningful, positive academic identities?
This conference seeks to address some questions central to understanding academic life in its current guise and looking towards a re-imagined future. Through four distinctive strands, we invite contributions from a range of disciplinary, theoretical and methodological perspectives that speak to identity construction in contemporary higher education.
We invite abstracts (of up to 500 words) by 15 December 2009 in four broad themes:
Guidance on session formats is available.
Contributions should be submitted through the online upload facility provided on this site. Before uploading your contribution you will be required to register with the site.
We look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow.

The Iliad is about a prince, Paris who loves this princess from the Achaean empire. He loved this goddess so much and she him he snuck away with her. Zeus saw this and helped out the Achaeans but not for their sake but for Odysseus's. Odysseus the son of a goddess met with her a beach and said his plight to her that he needed help to defeat the Trojans. With over a thousand ships sailing at the Trojans known for their walls they defeated all the smaller states along the way to the Trojans just for king Agamemnon's prize, Helen. Eventually after Paris challenged their best warrior and being saved by a goddess who flew him away from his emanate doom. He recovered just to see that the Trojans have been defeated and he dies along with Odysseus, but Helena makes it away.
I would recommend this book since it is a classic. It has a lot of unneeded information but it still is a great book. Unless you like ancient Greek mythology you will love this. It is, in a way, educational. So overall I would recommend this book.
I read Homer in my teens and finding I didn't much like him, thought it might be down to the translator. Having just read this version (it's Robert Fagles') I think I must conclude that Homer and I are not made for each other. There is some good stuff in here, like the argument over Briseis mirroring the taking Helen and the cause of the war. The poem is essentially about the folly of mankind and everything feeds through to that theme (the incompetent prosecution of the war, war itself, the petty squabbles etc) but it's not enough to justify the mindless battle scenes that dominate most of the book and the loss of the thread of the narrative. I did appreciate it more than last time though as since my first reading I've read the Greek tragedies. There's a brief altercation between Agamemnon and the high priest. If you're reading it cold it means nothing but if you've read a bit of Euripides you know that Agamemnon has murdered his own daughter at the instigation of the priest.
As to the translation itself I notice that the English line count is much greater than the Greek. I think Fagles may have expanded the action. It's certainly much easier to understand what is physically happening than it was in the other translation. Unfortunately Fagles is a poor poet. What he's written is not poetry at all but prose with line breaks. The sentence structure is amateurish. Perhaps you think me very old fashioned, expecting the translator of a classic work of poetry to be a good poet, but there you are. The introduction on the other hand is superb.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it more than me. As this book has been preserved so carefully down the centuries my opinion would appear to be in the minority.
The back cover of lombardo's translation of the Iliad boldly states "this is as good as Homer gets in English". I don't doubt it. The language is clearly more modern than other translations I have sampled and its pace is gripping.
Obviously, the are tons if ink spilled in reviewing the Iliad, so I will not even attempt to add to it in describing Homer's story.
But, I will say it is, at essence a war story and Lombardo has captured it in English incredibly well. The average reader may dread the suggestion of reading Homer as it has a reputation as dense ancient poetry. Not so with Lombardo.
Highly recommended.
I listened to the audio version of this and I will have to listen to it again, probably more than once. It's a rambling story, but a great window onto another time and place, and perhaps more importantly, a pre-modern, oral mode of storytelling which I could stand some more of.
What a great translation.....

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0140275363, Paperback)This groundbreaking English version by Robert Fagles is the most important recent translation of Homer's great epic poem. The verse translation has been hailed by scholars as the new standard, providing an Iliad that delights modern sensibility and aesthetic without sacrificing the grandeur and particular genius of Homer's own style and language. The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:07 -0400)
The centuries old epic about the wrath of Achilles is rendered into modern English verse by a renowned translator and accompanied by an introduction that reassesses the identity of Homer. In Robert Fagles' beautifully rendered text, the Iliad overwhelms us afresh. The huge themes godlike, yet utterly human of savagery and calculation, of destiny defied, of triumph and grief compel our own humanity. Time after time, one pauses and re-reads before continuing. Fagles' voice is always that of a poet and scholar of our own age as he conveys the power of Homer. Robert Fagles and Bernard Knox are to be congratulated and praised on this admirable work.… (more)

My college has informed me that I need to take an Ability to Benefit (ATB) exam in order to be eligible for the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and Scholarships. What exactly is meant by ATB?
If you do not have a US high school diploma or recognized equivalent such as a GED, you must take and pass an ability to benefit (ATB) exam approved by the NYS Board of Regents and designated by your school to be eligible to apply for State aid. The ATB exam demonstrates the student's ability to benefit from the training offered.
I have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) from my high school, is this considered the same as a high school diploma or GED for State aid purposes?
No, an IEP diploma is not equivalent to a local or Regents high school diploma. You must contact your college to identify the procedures you will need to follow to be considered for admission. For State aid purposes, you will still need to take and pass an ATB exam.
I have been to college before, am transferring my credits to another college and have never received any State aid. My new school said that I need to take and pass an ATB exam in order to be eligible to receive any State aid since I do not have a high school diploma.
Yes, the Ability to Benefit regulations apply to all students who are first-time state aid recipients who do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent (GED.)
I currently have a college degree and am continuing with my education, however, I do not have a high school diploma or GED. Will I need to take and pass an ATB exam to be eligible to apply for State aid at my new college?
If you are seeking to earn a degree and already have earned a degree from a regionally accredited college or university or any institution in New York State authorized by the Board of Regents to confer degrees, your prior degree can be used to satisfy State requirements to be used in place of an ATB exam.
I graduated from a university outside the United States. Will my foreign degree allow me to be eligible for State aid without taking the ATB exam?
If your degree comes from a college or university that is recognized by your home country's Ministry of Education, you are considered to meet the requirements and do not have to take an ATB exam.
I have a non-U.S. high school diploma and have never had any New York State aid before. Do I qualify for State aid or any State scholarships?
Without a U.S. high school diploma or its equivalent you will need to take and pass an Ability to Benefit (ATB) exam. Again, the ATB requirements apply to all students who are first-time state aid recipients and the exam is required to be eligible to receive any State aid.
I have taken the required ATB exam but have just found out that I did not pass it. Will I be able to retake the exam?
Yes, after the appropriate remediation prescribed by the college.
I have already started at my college and have just found out I did not pass the ATB exam I took prior to the start of school. If I retake the exam and pass it this time will I be able to receive State aid for the term I am currently in?
You must take the exam within the institution's add/drop period to establish award eligibility in that term.
I have been home-schooled. Am I eligible for State aid?
Yes, you will be eligible to apply for State aid once you have received a letter from your home school's district superintendent attesting to the substantial equivalence of the homeschooling to the education completed by public high school graduates.
Are United States high school diplomas the only high school diplomas that are acceptable to be eligible for State aid?
Yes. Note: US high school diplomas include diplomas from the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam or the Northern Mariana Islands and qualify you to be eligible to apply for State aid.

In 2011, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) conducted a study of 27 member countries to assess the size of the national government-run enterprise sector. OECD's data however completely omitted to include Canadian government-run businesses at the provincial and municipal levels. In fact, the size of the government business sector in Canada is much larger than expected and some of these businesses may be suitable candidates for divestment. Crown corporations are created in Canada to help overcome perceived market gaps. Yet, in free market economies, governments sometimes overregulate and stay directly engaged in business longer than the markets require. Divestment of government-run businesses has proven itself as an effective tool in revitalizing numerous businesses, encouraging economic growth and helping governments withdraw from business sectors where the assistance of the state is no longer needed or is even detrimental.

Facts about Pigs
Pigs are the fourth smartest animal group on the planet, following only humans, apes and chimps, whales and dolphins.
Potbellied Pigs, are a smaller member of the pig family that have been on this earth for some 50 million years
Pigs are Hyper-allergenic alternatives to traditional pets like cats and dogs.
The Potbellied Pet Pig is small weighing about 80 to 150 lbs and about 16 to 20 inches at the shoulder. By comparison the domestic pig (hog) at maturity can weigh over 800 lbs and stand over 36 inches at the shoulder.
Mini Potbelly pigs at GLMM weigh less than 150lbs, and Micro Minis weigh less than 85lbs.
It is better to choose a Pigs based on height and length of its parents. A pigs weight can fluctuate quickly and be very deceiving. Pigs have dense compact bodies, especially when compared to dogs or people. A 150-pound pig is much smaller than an 80-pound German shepherd or a 100-pound person. A 150-pound pig is not as big as one may imagine!
Pet Pigs have a natural gentle disposition.
Pigs are clean, almost odor free, smart, and like people and other animals.
Winston Churchill is quoted as saying that :
"Dogs look up to you, cats look down on you and pigs are willing to treat you as an equal"
Pigs do not actually have sweat glands. Pigs cannot sweat! This means they need plenty of fresh water available at all times to prevent overheating.
Pigs keep cool by splashing in water or rolling in mud.
Pigs generally make good house pets.
Pigs often watch where their food comes from, so they can learn to open cabinets and even the refrigerator!
Pigs live 10 to 15 years on average.
Indoor pigs can be taught to use an indoor potty box.
Pigs like to shred newspaper and play with infant toys, empty water bottles, dog and cat toys and balls.
The most common potbellied pig health problems are diet related. Overweight pigs suffer from heart problems, blindness and arthritis. Underfed pigs (often in an attempt to keep them small) usually die from malnutrition or complications from malnutrition. Pigs need lots of fresh water at all times.
At 1 to 5 days old, a piglet should be given iron. The vet can give piglets a shot of Iron Dextran to avoid the piglets from becoming anemic. Pigs are born with limited iron reserves and sow's milk may not contain enough iron for them.
If you choose to vaccinate your pig, then they should be vaccinated a minimum of every 12 months. Most vets will give a dose of Ivomec or Dectomax to treat/prevent worms and mange (skin mites). They may also suggest Pleuroguard 4 to prevent hemophiles, pluro pneumonia, rhinitis and erysipelas and Respisure to prevent microplasma pneumonia.
Vaccines for Bondatella, Erysipelas, and Pasteurella can be given on a yearly basis after an initial double dose at 6 – 10 weeks of age and again at 12 – 14 weeks of age.
The Tetanus vaccine can be given yearly.
Leptospirosis 5 Way and Parvovirus are recommended more for breeding females but **Please be careful, reactions to the Leptospirosis 5 Way vaccinations are common.
The Lymes vaccine & Rabies vaccine are not approved for use in pigs. Indoor and Outdoor pigs are not likely to contract Rabies because their bodies are very resistant to the disease.
Remember, Dog and cat vaccines are not acceptable to use for pigs.
We believe EVERY pet pig should be spayed or neutered.
Generally non-spayed females go into heat every three weeks, and un-neutered males may mark their territory and omit a foul smelling odor as they reach puberty.
A pig is not considered fully grown until 3 years of age.
All pigs grow tusks. Females grow small, sharp tusks that rarely stick out of their mouths. Neutered males will have a set protruding from their lips by age 1 1/2 to 2. Tusks may need to be trimmed once a year.
All pigs have naturally dry skin (remember they don't have sweat glands like we do!) Besides making sure they have access to fresh, clean water, you can give them an oil pill once a week, or put 1 teaspoon of olive oil in their food weekly or even put olive oil or lotion directly on their skin.
Use any good lotion on your pig's skin as often as you like, which will help to keep the skin soft. Just be sure your pig is not allergic to it. Test your pig by putting a small spot of lotion on your pig in the same place for 3 days in a row, if there is no skin reaction, chances are your pig is not be allergic to the lotion. Some pig owners use Avon's "Skin So Soft" Lotion for their pigs dry skin with good sucess.
It's not necessary to bathe your pig on a regular basis. However it is fine to give him a bath when he gets dirty.
Pigs like a good brushing.
Pigs like to eat! Pigs will do just about anything for food.
A pig's size (height & length) is determined by his genes, not by his diet (unless he is overfed and becomes overweight). Never under feed a pig to keep it small, it is cruel!
Feed your pig the proper amount of food as recommended on the Mini Pig food bag by the manufacturer, at least twice a day according to your pigs age, size, activity level and environment.
Supplement your pig with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Pigs LOVE treats! Some good treats are plain, air-popped popcorn, carrot slices, grapes, raisins, apples, and individual pieces of dry cereal (Cheerios or Chex).
Indoor pigs may need extra vitamins. You can give your pig 1/2 to 1 children's complete vitamin with iron everyday. Walmart sells a inexpensive gummy type that works fine.
Indoor pigs may need their hooves trimmed every 1 to 2 years. Your yearly vet care should include, hooves and teeth/tusks as well as iron, wormer/mite, and any additional booster vaccines you choose for your pig.
It can be difficult to find a vet willing and able to treat potbellied pigs. Potbellied pigs are NOT farm hogs. There are differences in their medical treatment. Make sure your Vet has worked on other miniature pet pigs as the correct vaccine dosages and anesthesia are very important.
A indoor pig will sleep in a pet bed or crate but many prefer to sleep in bed with their owners.
Pigs can be harness trained and most pigs love to go for car rides.
Outdoor pigs need a sturdy, rainproof barn or doghouse. In cold climates, it must also be wind proof and have enough room for plenty of straw and blankets to keep the pig warm. We recommend outdoor pigs to have additional vaccines such as Pleurogard 4 to prevent hemophiles, pluro pneumonia, rhinitis and erysipelas and Respisure to prevent microplasma pneumonia.
