"In order to be successful you must have connections with your audience so it must speak to them on a personal level. If they don't see themselves in you, they probably won't listen for long."
Check out the interview with Blas the MC exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Skilly: Tell us where this all began. What is your history in the music scene?
Blas the MC: My history in music doesn't begin with me but with my great grandparents, Walter and Ida Mae Fuller who were my first inspirations to pursue music as a career. They relocated to San Diego and were involved in the jazz scene so much that they were recognized years after until their passing. The accolades and recognition was minimal but, the lives they touched through their music was evident at the end of their lives. I want to have that same impact not just in music but in my life's purpose. I feel like having that history makes me responsible to carry on that legacy and pass it on to the next generation.
What are the best ways to promote yourself as an artist? Any tips you can give us?
In my experience the best way to promote yourself as an artist is making yourself and your art visible to as many people as possible. That can be in the form of doing tours and shows in different places where your fan base is smaller and has potential for growth. The use of social media makes it easier for those shows to be broadcast over a larger area, but it is always more of a personal experience when you get to be face to face with your audience. Nowadays they have pop up venues in high traffic areas that offer the artists insight to local taste and trends. We plan to use those venues in the near future.
What do you ultimately want to become in your career?
Ultimately I want to be known as a writer and a teacher. This music is my passion. I am not expecting to make it my only job/career. There are other ventures I want to make a reality and the success from the music will enable those projects to come to fruition. The music is more of a way to communicate with my audience and put light on issues that wouldn't be addressed by an emcee such as poverty, homelessness, and hunger. We want to eventually have books, a plot of land developed, and farms that can provide just that.
What is the hardest thing about being in the music business?
Being yourself and not compromising your ideals and values. Sometimes people make you temporarily suspend your ideals in order to have a certain amount of success or gain a deal that gives them access to new markets. Most of the time though the artist rarely makes it back to where they began and eventually lose their credibility because of their lack of integrity. I am glad I stuck to my guns instead of compromising my art, regardless of the things I have turned down as a result.
What is it like in your city? What is the music scene like, and how is it like living there overall?
The whole SoCal music scene is diverse. For the underground hip hop movement in LA to the jazz sounds of San Diego, there is an eclectic naturally original sound coming out of California that is being recognized by many as trendsetting. There are artists here who ghostwrite for top acts and are still able to maintain a local fan base by doing small shows in clubs and spots like Good Life Cafe and Little Tokyo where talent is being discovered daily. I love the art and creative scene here. You can literally feel it in the air.
What are some of advice you can give and share to other artists who are still trying to come up?
Patience, humility, and flexibility are your best friends. Don't ever be in a rush to create or put out something half done. Consistency in perfecting your craft takes time and you must be realistic about your goals and why you are doing this in the first place. I had to realize I wasn't ready when I was in my 20's to make timeless music because my priorities were not aligned to receive that come up yet. I speak from experience: great things come to those who wait.
What is the best thing that's ever happened in your career?
My wife and my three sons Isaiah, Elijah, and Israel, hands down. They gave me something to live for and work towards more as motivation and not necessity. Even though I want to give them the world, I want to also give them the experiences that make life worth living. Having them to come home to makes me want to put on my best performance and creativity on wax/video/etc.
What is your inspiration?
My inspiration is my family and fulfilling my purpose while I'm here. Getting up every morning allows me another chance to work towards that goal and that is itself a form of inspiration. I am also inspired by jazz, classical, and worldly music that speaks to the human condition. Moving people to action through words is inspiring itself.
Do you feel anyone can be successful now in today's world of music?
Not just anyone because you have to have a certain level of authenticity to what you're doing. The cookie cutter pop acts aren't making it, they are not putting out meaningful music and originality lacks in the arena of songwriting because most artist rarely write their own songs. In order to be successful you must have connections with your audience so it must speak to them on a personal level. If they don't see themselves in you, they probably won't listen for long.

The dream goes on, and as England eases into the World Cup semi-finals, our agents' reviews of their games continue - and here we have another cracker, analysing the win against Sweden.
Our latest pundit is the ever-popular Kristjan Byfield, well known to many in the agency world as the co-founder of base property specialists in east London and the man behind The Depositary, a soon-to-be-launched software company aiming to bring greater transparency to regulatory compliance across the sector.
Some may also remember Kristjan for his Viking dress sense at The ESTAS and other industry occasions...but there is no doubting who he is rooting for in World Cup 2018. He penned this review yesterday, the morning after the victorious afternoon before.
Watch out for another agent's review on Thursday as England go onward and upward!
"Watching the England match back again this morning, free of the nerves and emotions of yesterday and the unpredictable results that has been the hallmark of this amazing World Cup, I couldn't help but think what a comfortable match it was.
"What also struck me, however, was how England and Southgate's managerial approach, have clearly been inspired by some of our industry's finest operations. Don't believe me? Well...
"Let's look first at Sweden. Their slow and steady pace, seemingly waiting for opportunities and goals to materialise, reminded me of those apathetic agents out there who don't manage leads effectively.
"Letting some enquiries slip through their fingers unanswered and registered applicants go un-nurtured was imitated by Sweden's lack of imagination and incisive runs. A turgid mid-field, the heart of an operation and its wheel-house, of those agents refusing to understanding the value of PropTech in delivering effective service whilst applying some imagination and creativity to their value.
"As for defence, well, that's a combination of compliance and customer service - the two underpinnings to any great agency and, in my belief, the linch pins to whether an agency can survive and thrive long term and in tougher markets.
"England, on the other hand, seemed to have it all. Their overall activity around the pitch, epitomised by Sterling's darting runs (even if fruitless) resembled the tenacity of a hungry team of negotiators. Working hard to create opportunities, exploring every opportunity, creating opportunities with darting runs that others may have not have seized upon. Driven by individual desire to achieve, but happy to see the team succeed as a whole.
"The midfield, the all important operation linking the safety of defence with the emerging creativity of attack, represents the agencies understanding the value of the right proptech in their business.
"To get to where they are now, they've done hours of training and tried all sorts of approaches, configurations, and manoeuvres- sometimes imitating other great teams but soon realising that they have to pick the the solutions that match their style, delivery and ethos. What's more, not just go for the solutions which are the 'game standard' but to be brave and innovate where they see fit.
"Then you have the mighty defence. The matters of compliance and customer service are both essential in the defence of any agency both in terms of reputation and legally.
"However, what England have gleaned from our industry, is the effective implementation of this can not only pull off remarkable saves, manoeuvering alongside the quick witted Swedish attack to create new laws and regulations for us to react to, but effective and industry-leading compliance and customer service can actually pivot in to an attacking position, dazzling clients with our professionalism and 'can do attitude' to score a goal- when others are more expected to do so.
"So there you have it. No longer are we the whipping boy of the media but must stand up and take pride in inspiring Gareth and the boys to play exciting, all round football that really could see them 'bring it home'!"

We've talked before about things you should overlook when house hunting, but being flexible and seeing past a home's imperfections isn't always the thing to do.
Don't get us wrong, there are a lot of things that should be overlooked because they can easily be changed down the road. However, some things should never be overlooked. We like to call them "deal breakers".
Making a list of your deal breakers is essential to finding the perfect home for now and well into the future. That's why the things on this list should be non-negotiable. Seriously, don't get emotionally attached to something that will create resentment down the road. Ultimately, it's up to you and your family to create your own list of deal breakers before your house hunting adventure begins, but we've compiled a list of the most important ones in order for you to jump-start the process!
A Real Potential for Water Damage
A lot of household problems can be fixed, but being subject to water damage is one that is not even close to an easy fit. Before committing to a house, be sure to research if it's in a flood zone. (FEMA has a handy website that can search all flood areas by address.) Also, take notice of its elevation on the block compared to other homes. Is this house at the lowest point on the street? Will your basement constantly be at risk of flooding and causing you large problems and even larger repair bills? Make sure you look very closely for any signs of water damage.
Do your research so that you know exactly what you are getting into, and are not surprised by a flooded basement after the first rain in your new home.
(All Different Kinds of) Safety Concerns
Safety concerns are a very broad category, so it's important that you get as specific as possible when creating your house hunting deal breaker list. Safety concerns with electronics can be caused by amateur workmanship, such as plumbing or electrical problems. But this could also be caused by other household issues, such as:
- Asbestos
- Radon gas levels
- Insect infestation
- Mold levels
Check the links for helpful ways to test for common safety concerns. Before you buy any house, let alone a suspect one, make sure to hire an inspector. If they report any problems, know exactly what issues result in you walking away from the deal and which ones you are willing to deal with (and potentially pay for!). Having this information clear before the home buying process will allow you to remain objective during this emotional time.
Below Average School District
If you have kids, be sure to investigate the local school district before you buy a home in that district. Niche.com provides a comprehensive look at most every school system in the country, including elementary, middle and high schools. You can also look at schools individually!
Even if you don't have kids, we still encourage you to do the same because that school district will impact the resale value of your home in the long run and should be considered before you purchase.
Structural Damage to the Home's Base
Structural damage in a home can cause some serious problems down the road, not to mention what a nightmare it would be to try to re-sell a home that has these large issues. It's important to consider this when house hunting in order to avoid large project costs down the road. Look for shifting of the home in cracks, uneven floors or a drooping roof to identify potential structural damage. If you're not sure, don't be afraid to Google a contractor or professional so they can assess the situation and reassure you the house is a safe long-term investment.
Unless you are buying a foreclosure for pennies on the dollar, structural damage is certain to massively impact your investment in a negative way.
A Floor Plan That Doesn't Work for Your Family
All rooms can be rearranged, redecorated, repainted or even switched around, depending on your family's needs. However, don't trick yourself: a sweet overlook may be cool, but the layout of the home or the square footage of the home is not so easily changed, especially without a massive budget and an extra-large construction project. Are you looking to double your investment by knocking out walls?
It's okay to look past the cosmetic upgrades in a home, but don't look past what the pros call "the bones" of the house: the layout, the number of rooms, the number of bathrooms or again, even simply the square footage. The bones are permanent and will directly impact your lifestyle. Are you willing to change your life just for that sweet view?
House Hunting Outside of Your Price Range
Buying a home out of your price range is a slippery slope and a financial decision that can put a lot of stress and pressure on you and your family.
It is also the most common deal breaker people ignore!
If you have a strict budget you need to follow, adding this deal breaker to your house hunting checklist will be a great way to "check yourself" and make sure that you are coming in under budget and not putting an unnecessary strain on you, your marriage, or your family. Besides, it is almost always better to invest in a cheaper property than to live with what you cannot afford.
What's on Your House Hunting Deal Breaker Checklist?
All of these may fall on your house hunting deal breaker checklist, or maybe some of them… or maybe none at all. Technically, the most important thing is shedding light on the fact that people don't often consider deal breakers ahead of hunting for a house. That's why a house hunting checklist is crucial to avoid getting emotionally invested and making an impulsive decision that you'll regret later on.
Remember the biggest rule: once you agree on which deal breakers gets added to the checklist, you cannot purchase any home that has even one of the things on it, regardless of how adorable it may look! This cute house may look great now, but it probably isn't the best investment for the long run. Hold strong, the right one will come along… it always does!

There are now more retailers online who are deciding to enhance the navigation of their e-commerce sites, as well as focusing their sights on improving mobile commerce capabilities and their social media presence.
A recent online Mystery Shopper's survey which was conducted, focused on a variety of prominent websites and tested their features as well as the functionality of their e-commerce sites, this based on numerous consumer product categories.
The study revealed that the majority of these online retailers had a "fly out" type of menu or a drop-down menu in their navigation bars. There were also a lot more retailers who offered their shoppers the ability to use advanced search features as well, allowing them to get yet more detailed and precise information in their product searches.
The majority of online retailers were also deciding to add additional site features which will help their shoppers with detailed product research. For instance, some of these retailers were offering product or how-to manuals that their visitors could download or read online, along with guides which were made available to them as well.
The marketing survey group noted that there were a significant increase in the number of how-to instructions along with helpful guidelines which were made available directly on the product pages. Video presentation and descriptions are also beginning to play a key role, enlightening as well as educating their buying visitors prior to purchasing their product or service.
In the past few years, there has been significant improvements in the quality of both the online store as well as product locator's greatly improving as well. This by providing more information as well as merchandising which may be forthcoming.
Since there is massive competition from other online retailers, along with the brand partners themselves who are beginning to increasingly sell online directly to the consumers, the retailers are working feverishly towards differentiating themselves apart from others.
Online Merchants Attempting To Distinguish Themselves
These online retailers are now going beyond the "Free Shipping" offers, such as they highlighting exclusive products, particular brand offerings or the latest popular trends.
The majority of retailers will also allow the consumers to be able to shop by brand. For instance, they will allow their online shoppers to dig deeper by refining their search results based on a specific brand name query.
Although free-shipping and being creative about it may be an outstanding element, which can range anywhere from a specific dollar threshold to an unconditional amount, online merchants are being creative to make themselves different from their direct competitors, beyond just a reliance on "gimmicky" promotional tactics which now seems to be a daily occurrence. Showcasing specific brands is a primary method on how online merchants are setting themselves apart and being different.
Use Of Social Media Networks
Online retailers are also increasingly using the various social media outlets and implementing them on their sites. The Facebook "Like" button for instance now appears on over 70% percent of all the e-commerce sites that were surveyed, compared to just 35% percent the previous year. Every retailer provided at least a link to a major social media site on their page.
Close to half of the retailers who had Facebook pages allowed some form of online shopping option made available, while there were only a few merchants who enabled their shoppers to be able to complete the purchase within Facebook. The majority just linked back to their ecommerce sites allowing the consumer to complete the purchase there.
Mobile E-Commerce Becoming Prominent
There are a variety of mobile strategies for online merchants which are advancing at an exponential rate. It was found that close to 80% percent of retailers now have some type of mobile optimized presence as an option. The majority also had a mobile app available for download for their consumer as well.
So the marketing survey confirms that online merchants are all concurrently refining and tweaking their online tactics to inform, find, personalize and then connect with better speed as well as efficiency. They are also diligently developing and improving on their social and their mobile initiatives as well.
The ultimate goal for these retailers are obviously to create and deliver a channel agnostic experience for their customers where the consumer is able to seamlessly migrate from a traditional physical store towards their channel-of-choice which is based on their shopping desires as well as dilemmas.

Can We Survive Toleration?Posted: April 16, 2018 Filed under: Copts, Egypt, History, Identity, Immigration, Religion, Tales of Immigration Leave a comment
Comments made at the second Coptic Canadian History Project, slightly corrected and amended for clarity.
Unlike everyone here, I am not a scholar, or at least not a scholar in the areas represented by this conference. So I am way out on a limb and thus tempted to ask you to join me on that limb by listening to some uncomfortable questions. Nothing I say here is scholarly, but simply notes from the field. I will start with an anecdote, move to a thumbnail history and finish with questions. The anecdote is that of a child observing adults, and the questions are those of an adult still observing adults.
One of my early childhood memories was being in a room at the old Batrakhana to see Pope Kyrillous. The room was sparse, with no luxury except for nice rugs everywhere. The adults waited on one side and the children on the other. The children were to told to behave and be silent or else, the "else" delivered with a menacing stare. After what seemed to be an eternity standing there, but was probably only just a few minutes, the door flung open and what seemed to be a giant of a man stepped in. In fact, later in life I learned that he was of average height and build. Perhaps it was the beard or the attitude of the people that made him seem larger. He wore a black galabiyya, nothing special, and no shoes, just heavy socks. The adults rushed toward him but a monk waved them away. He made a beeline toward the children, and as with a politician working the rope line systematically greeted them, gave each one a gentle pat on the head and a sign of the Cross on the forehead. He smelled of incense, which is fitting for he is now officially a saint. After he was done with the children he moved toward the adults who rushed in, kissed his hand and spoke into his ear. One man, an acquaintance of our family, said something to him and the Patriarch's face became stern and his body language issued disapproval. A few months later we found out that our friend left for Canada. I never found out what the man said to the Pope, but it left me with a sense to this day of immigration as a rebellion. Some months ago, Pope Tawadros made some comments to a newspaper also disapproving of immigration. All of us here are, in some sense, rebels, collaborators in this rebellion. But who are we, exactly? In the end what makes a "people" is a combination of real shared experiences and just as importantly, imagined shared experiences. So I move to the thumbnail history, what did the first rebels make of their experience, and then of what we need to make of this rebellion now. I need not remind you that rebellion is central to the Christian experience, which started with Adam's rebellion. But we Copts were traditionally raised to be accountants not rebels, and that maybe why immigration is forcing a reinvention of the Coptic identity here, perhaps.
The earliest cultural activity among immigrants, who were numerically a tiny group, was to translate the Agpeya, the Coptic Book of Hours, into English. It is curious indeed for people to translate their prayers into a language they had yet to fully master. But that was an act of rebellion, declaring for all to see their un-Arabness. Building Churches was also an act of both belonging and rebellion, something hereto difficult in Egypt. Agitating for the Copts of Egypt in Canada and America took on an air of rebellion. Few tried to negotiate anything; it was mostly demonstrations and words of anger. There was delight, as with many teenagers, when these symbolic acts of rebellion set the leader of Egypt aflame with rage at what Sadat called "his children". The Church worried incessantly about its "sons and daughters abroad". It feared their rebellion, and it still does. Pope Shenouda confided in Sadat that some of his children in America might have emotional problems but they could be managed and brought back to love him. But the acts of rebellion were not always negative. Cultural activism was sometimes positive, an assertion of a newly formed self. In the interest of time I will focus only on two acts of cultural activism that stand out. Both started out in the Spring of 1980, but their roots are deeper in Egypt. Dr Rodolph Yanney began to publish the Coptic Church Review in March 1980. Almost at the same moment, in early April 1980, Aziz Atiya convened the editorial board of the Coptic Encyclopedia. Both efforts reflect a desire to define a Coptic cultural narrative; one broader than Egypt. But beyond a common goal, they could not be more different. Yanney's quarterly publication cost a few dollars and focused almost entirely on devotional subjects. It never had more than a few contributors, with some from the West (John Watson, Tim Vivian, Otto Meinardus,etc). Atiya's effort was broader, eventually having more than 250 contributors. It was held at the Rockefeller foundation center at Lake Como. The attendees were a "who is who" of the old Coptic intellectual elite (Mirrit Ghali, Fouad Megally, etc). The final set of volumes, 8 in total, leather bound, cost $1100. Yanney was a devout and intensely religious man. Atiya, was far more secular. Yanney finished college in 1952, and became heavily involved in the day-to-day Sunday school work of specific churches; he was literally and figuratively the man in the church basement. Atiya completed college in 1919, and then embarked on graduate studies and a long career as a historian in prestigious universities, and rarely attended church, but was usually found in the company of bishops and popes. The two men approached their solution to the Coptic identity from different angles. Yanney wanted to render the West more acceptable to the Copts, utilizing Western authors to show their interest in the Copts, and convince his fellow immigrants that this place could be home. Atiya wanted to render the Copts more acceptable to the West, securing a place for them as major creators of Christianity through the efforts of their church Fathers. In their own very different ways, both projects were broadly patristic. I do not want to overplay the duality, but they were different efforts by two men, a generation apart, physically outside of Egypt yet still psychically anchored in it. While both efforts generated a great deal of scholarly output, they did not make considerable inroads among immigrants. I suspect that the reason neither effort found ready inheritors was the bitter communal divisions of the 1980s that accompanied Shenouda's exile at the hands of Sadat, and the return of Shenouda to full command and mastery over his "children" abroad. I was dismayed to visit a church in the late 1990s where the basement reading room once held copies of many interesting books, and several issues of the Coptic Church Review, to find only "Al Keraza" magazine. But things are changing now, evidenced by many gatherings and efforts such as this (CCHP), and of the new churches and groups, some taking on frankly foundational and pioneering attitudes, such as dedicating a Princeton, New Jersey church to St Anianus. Others are aiming to reconcile Western cultural attitudes, such as feminism, with entrenched patterns. There is a chance to change the misconception, only partially false, that the Copts have no culture beyond prayer.
So I finish with my questions, which I will limit to three, and for which I have no answers.
Can we survive toleration? This may seem to be an odd question when everyone is worried about Eastern Christians surviving terrible persecutions these days. But for the Copts of Egypt the question of whether they can survive persecution is a settled one; Yes. The entire social and psychic apparatus of the Copts was built to resist persecution, and we have not until recently existed in a place that fully welcomed us. Can the Copts of immigration survive the magnificent freedom and tolerance we see here with York University giving space and support for our cultural efforts? We stand between two risks. First of failure to retain any cultural distinctiveness as we melt into the larger Christian culture around us. That would not be a disaster for individuals, but a loss of a unique culture nonetheless. The second, and perhaps larger risk, is that we develop a culture of exile. To make the point I will quote from an article from by Magdi Khalil of Coptic Solidarity. He quotes Aziz Atiya about the keys to Babylon given to the Arabs on Good Friday, April 6 641. Magdi, in effect, ties the Crucification of Jesus to the Arab occupation of Egypt. Egypt is the literal and sacred place, at once Eden and Golgotha, a singular reference point. He is attempting a reinvention of the Coptic identity, in this case a Judaization of that identity. There is nothing wrong with the Jewish narrative, except that it is not ours to adopt. Few Copts gather to say "Next year in Egypt". Unlike the Jews we have not experienced the killing ferocity of the West at its most bigoted manifestation. We can not borrow this outfit, as we will look silly in it. Besides, the comparison invites an expectation of resurrection, thus anchoring immigrants to an Egypt they can little affect. Magdi's destinations are a dead end. We need to fashion our own cultural outfit in immigration. So the question remains without an answer.
Can we de-conflate religious and ethnic identity? Endogamy was a critical tool in the Egyptian Copts' arsenal of survival. It is partly responsible for the narrative of the "Copts as the true Egyptians", which is quaint and reassuring for immigrants, but of little practical value. Endogamy is not sustainable in the immigrant countries with the inevitable phenomenon of intermarriage (itself a rebellion within a rebellion). It is further complicated by the church's theologically incoherent position on cross-denominational baptisms, and its preference for a sexual morality rooted in specific cultural contexts. The net result will be a drain of potential members who are culturally not Egyptian, and ethnically only partially Egyptian, as well as inability to retain new converts. The contradictions go beyond the personal and into the institutional. The Egyptian church will have to contend with a paradox it is ill-suited to resolve. "Copt", which once meant Egyptian, is now declared on the name of new churches which strive to be explicitly not so. Yet another question without an easy answer.
What about the Church? The Egyptian church has been the backbone of the Copts, and the tent that sheltered them from all manners of storms. But it has not yet understood the subtleties of immigration, and may never be able to fully do so. At a time when many Western churches are suffering from the indifference of their flock, the passion of immigrant laity should be seen as a net positive to the church. But the Egyptian church has a huge burden dealing with the flock in Egypt and it is unfair to expect it to tailor itself to the wishes of the non-Egyptian Copts. On the other hand, immigrant churches cannot realistically be mere outposts or reception centers for new immigrants. I don't have the exact numbers, but the second generation and beyond of immigrants now likely exceed the number of new arrivals and first generation immigrants. Absent a catastrophe in Egypt that will cause a larger flood of immigration, the demographic trend will remain the same. We know it is not impossible to be a universal church with multiple cultural influences, but we also know that the Egyptian church, since the fifth century, has chosen a different road. The arc of communal history for the past 50 years has seen a steady consolidation for church control over the laity. Although this is a function of the demise of civil society in Egypt, it has also affected immigrant churches. How will the church handle the inevitable diversity of views in an environment where lack of persecution does not provide a ready means of social cohesion. Yet another question to ponder.
I want to thank you for indulging me and allowing me to make my reflections on what is an epochal change within an ancient people, who just happen to be us. In 33 years, the life of one generation, it will be 2051. Perhaps then we might look back on immigration as a providential event that ended 1600 years of solitude.

Immigration And The Reinvention of Identity. Notes From The IdPosted: April 2, 2018 Filed under: Copts, Egypt, History, Identity, Immigration, Tales of Immigration 1 Comment
A previous post dealt with the rise of Coptic political activism early in immigrant communities, especially in the US. The early activism was marked by the success of Pope Shenouda in winning over its leaders and subsequently enlisting it as a component of his project of placing the clerical hierarchy as the central leadership of the Copts. The passing of Shenouda and the changing conditions in Egypt signal a change of circumstances. The failure of activism to affect the official policies of the Egyptian state is part and parcel of a larger failure of all outside forces to influence the ponderous state. As with all political movements, failure will result in either disappearing into irrelevance or an internal struggle to assess the means, methods and goals of the movement. This was amply demonstrated by one of the largest groups, Coptic Solidarity, around its recent conference in June 2017. The conference title "Egypt: Combating Terrorism Without Sacrificing Civil Rights" is laudable and sensible enough. The organization attempted to reach out beyond immigrant Copts, inviting various US political figures, academics, intellectuals and even a Shi'a Imam. Yet somehow, the entire proceeding was hijacked by the now notorious "Zogby affair". James Zogby, a leader of the Arab American community and a political operative within the Democratic party, ostentatiously rescinded his acceptance to chair a panel over what he called "individuals spreading …hurtful anti-Arab and anti-Muslim propaganda". A spokesman for Coptic Solidarity further inflamed the issue by leveling a charge of "Dhimmitude" against Zogby. Although the author of the charge was unnamed, many in the know felt that it bore the mark of Magdi Khalil, one of Coptic Solidarity's founder and a leading thinker and writer. This charge would be unknown to most Christians in the world, and indeed to many in the East, but is a uniquely familiar one to Egyptians*. This was the Coptic id lashing out at what it perceives to be collaborators in its oppression. Here was an American organization reverting to its Egyptian core when it views itself under attack. Any temptation to ignore the meaning of the Zogby affair would later be undercut by a little noted article. Tectonic shifts are seldom noticed until they break out in spectacular forms, while the attention is invariably focused on surface ripples.
Nine months after the 2017 conference, Magdi Khalil, published an article titled "The Copts as Lord Cromer saw them". The article is in Arabic making it clear that its intended audience is in Egypt, even if its tone and lineage is American. The few in Egypt who do not choose to ignore it will read it as a plea, or a threat, or more ominously as a pink slip. To gaze upon the Copts from Cromer's imperial eyes is by itself an unsettling statement. Cromer, the man who effectively ruled Egypt for a quarter century, was known for his dislike of the Copts. He denounced "their habits of servitude", and resented their resistance to his administrative modernization, which lessened the Copts' traditional control of the state's administrative apparatus. Khalil uses Cromer as a pretext to level 17 questions to the Coptic church and community. None of these questions are really new, as most have been around for a while, but they were never considered suitable to be asked aloud in polite company. All the questions are backward looking and Egypt focused, but Khalil contends that answering them is essential for the future progress of the Copts, especially outside Egypt. In effect, Khalil expands the charge of "Dhimmitude" to include many Copts and the clerical hierarchy. It is strong and uncomfortable stuff, but it should not be ignored or dismissed lightly. Those who are not tapped into the Egyptian and Coptic history and psyche may find the entire set of questions odd, but that does not render them irrelevant. If others follow suit and ask the same questions then they may have the weight of theses nailed to a door.
Khalil's first question relates to what he perceives to be the Copts's original sin. "How could we have allowed a few thousand Bedouins to occupy and rule our country [in 641 C.E.]?". From that question the remaining sixteen cascade along similar lines. "Why did we not connect with Nubia and Ethiopia?", in effect asking why there was no project of Reconquista similar to Spain. Why has the church resisted Byzantium far more vigorously than the Muslim rulers, Khalil asks. He also takes the clerical hierarchy to task for becoming willing collaborators in the oppression of the Copts under Muslim rule for centuries. The clerics are weak, he asserts, because they lent no support to the rebels of the Pashmuric revolts of the 9th century C.E. or the current activists in immigration. He widens his scope to accuse the community at large of being slavish to priests, subservient to Muslims in general, while ferocious toward each other in their internecine fights. Finally he indicts the entire community for becoming "prisoners" of the church walls and the monks who man them, and refusing to have fruitful interactions with Western Christianity. He strikes at the core of the old Coptic identity by accusing the Church of developing a theology of submission, humiliation and martyrdom, rather than of liberation, justice and revolution. Khalil's hammer spares no pillar of traditional Coptic thought. It is tempting to think that Khalil's arguments will have few listeners, but it would be wrong. It is also tempting to think that the historic longevity, as well as the institutional strength of the church and its leaders will render them immune to his criticism. But the leaders of the church should make no such assumption,at least not without a careful listening to many outside Egypt. On a personal level, this blogger can attest to the resonance of Khalil's questions among many young Copts born and bred in the US, and who grew up without acculturation to the "habits of servitude". The new Copt does not look like the old Copt. It remains to be seen whether that new Copt will look on the old with understanding, or cast a gimlet eye on the deficiencies. That said, we can level a modest charge of historic inexactitude, even revisionism, against Khalil. As with many nationalist retelling, history is sanctified by a division of its actors to patriots and traitors. But the reality is less neat. Khalil is a smart observer and has demonstrated a keen grasp of Egyptian and Coptic history. His questions can only arise from a polemical plan rather than simple historic ignorance. They fit neatly, although far more discordantly, in a line of thought that threads through recent Egyptian and Coptic history. Why are the people such willing slaves to their rulers? Many an Egyptian intellectual has asked in despair about the persistence of authoritarianism and clientism in the country's governance. Passionate young men of the Society of Coptic Nationalists would kidnap a Pope in 1954 in equal despair over the communal inability to rid itself of a weak and unqualified man at the top of the clerical hierarchy. One of these men would thunder to this author, a quarter century after the events, that the Copts are "weak, weak, and therefore undeserving of respect", while pounding his fist on the table in a dingy basement restaurant near Dupont circle in Washington DC, to the point where he was nearly ejected. Magdi Khalil's words tap into an existing but largely hidden vein, but to what end?
Many nationalist narratives have a familiar arc. First there is a statement of the "fall", the once proud people who have fallen into a disgraceful state, unable to unite or improve their lot. The fall must be followed by redemption, where proper leadership and individual sacrifices will lead to a greater collective good. This is the narrative of Egyptian nationalism, and also the narrative of the Copts. Once they were able to meld their story and that of Egypt into a single thread, but that is becoming increasingly more difficult. Too many Copts are not Egyptian, and too much of Egypt has drifted into Islamism. While the Egyptian church and the few lay Coptic leaders in Egypt extol the benefits of a unified nation, many Copts outside Egypt see the entire narrative as a farce. In some ways, the current situation among immigrant Copts bears a striking resemblance to that of European Armenians at the end of the 19th century who increasingly saw the promise of citizenship within the Ottoman Empire as unrealistic, if only because others, including Turks, had also come to the same conclusion. Khalil challenges the notion that what made Copts survive for 1400 years will enable them to do so in the future, and more radically, he challenges the notion that a similar survival is even worth the effort. The Egyptian church, and also the lay community, are busy with the difficulties and travails of life in Egypt and have little time to engage in such thoughts. They would likely see Khalil's ideas as disruptive, even dangerous. They simply want their old Egypt back. But whether today, or at some future date, a reckoning is bound to happen between these two divergent lines of thought. Once again, as they did in the 1970s and early 1980s, the numerically smaller Copts in immigration are leveraging their more fortunate position for a louder voice within the community. In immigration their christian identity is not sufficient to distinguish them from the larger community around them. Neither their orthodoxy, nor their non-Chalcedonian theology which few truly understand, are sufficient for a distinctive identity. Agitating for the good of Egyptian Copts is however their unique burden and identity. The real question is whether newer generations will take up the burden with equal vigor or abandon it as quixotic. Either way, the Egyptian church can not long remain Janus faced, able to satisfy two very divergent groups of faithful follower. There are passionate arguments that insist that the only future for the Copts is out of Egypt, while other, equally passionate arguments, insist that the only hope for Egypt is to be a country where the Copts can remain an integral part of its fabric. Nothing at the moment seems to favor either view.
When Bishop Bishoy, a senior conservative leader of the Egyptian church, remarked in 2010 that Islam is a "guest in Egypt", he created a firestorm. By his very same reasoning Christianity is also a "guest in Egypt', having arrived a mere 600 years earlier. Such views are bound to seem odd to Copts born in places such as the US or Canada or Australia, where any one can become a full-fledged citizen within a few years. These countries have no "guests", or more accurately, have nothing but guests. From that vantage, Magdi Khalil's questions are paradoxes; on one hand they imply that Copts have a special responsibility toward Egypt, while insisting that they need to consider their communal health first and foremost. But these are the paradoxes of an identity in formation. For what it is worth, the church in Egypt, and indeed the wider world, needs to listen carefully to the discourse of immigrant Copts. As Buffalo Springfield would have it; something is happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear.

* The notion of "Dhimmitude" was introduced into common Western lexicon by Gisele Littman, writing under the name of Bat Ye'or. She was born in Egypt and left it at age 23 under the difficult circumstances of 1956.

I created a spreadsheet some time ago to answer the question of whether paying off a mortgage was a good idea or not. I used monthly S&P prices back to 1871 to compare the returns of paying off a mortgage. I looked at two cases:
a) Invest an amount (X) in an S&P index fund for the term of the mortgage (15 or 30 years).
b) Apply an extra amount (X) to the mortgage. When the mortgage is paid off, invest the mortgage payment plus X in an S&P index.
I compared total values for every 15 & 30 year period from 1871 to present for both cases. Taxes were not considered since the amounts in case a) could easily be invested through a tax advantaged account and taxes would be owed on gains in both cases if invested in taxable accounts.
In my case ($200k loan, 4.875%, 15 year, $200 extra payment) investing yielded more in 81% of the periods. If you consider deducting interest payments, investing was better 97% of the time.
30 year loans at current interest rates show investing is better more than 95% of the time.
With that in mind, why didn't I max out my loan amount when I refinanced a couple years ago? When asked that question on another board, it occurred to me, I'm always more than willing to delay payment if I can do so at a low or no interest rate. I minimize my withholding and pay tax in April, I use my credit card for nearly all potential purchases, etc. But, I won't take on added debt and responsibility for the sake of making a few points of return. Things can happen such as losing a job, disability, etc. It's simply not worth the risk.
OTOH, the S&P is up 19% since my last refi.

Forensic Fallibility
A new report shows that forensic science ain't all it's cracked up to be
By Jordan Smith, Fri., Feb. 27, 2009
In real life, of course, things are far less certain – which, according to a new study released last week by the National Academies, holds true for the state of forensic science in general. Forensic labs are not all created equal, according to the report, the result of two years of study by the National Academies' Committee on Science, Technology, and Law, which reports that how labs are funded and staffed and the degree to which they are subject to oversight varies greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Moreover, neither are all forensic disciplines created equal: With the singular exception of DNA analysis, "no forensic method" – such as fingerprint, tool-mark, or bite-mark analysis – "has been rigorously shown to have the capacity to consistently, and with a high degree of certainty, demonstrate a connection between evidence and a specific individual or source," reads the report. "The simple reality is that the interpretation of forensic evidence is not always based on scientific studies to determine its validity. This is a serious problem." Especially if you're the one accused of the crime.
Indeed, the National Academies report concludes that while DNA analysis has been integral to either matching or eliminating a suspect's connection to a crime, the field's shortcomings have also been implicated in miscarriages of justice: "[I]n some cases, substantive information and testimony based on faulty forensic science analyses may have contributed to wrongful convictions of innocent people," reads the report. "This fact has demonstrated the potential danger of giving undue weight to evidence and testimony derived from interpretive testing and analysis. Moreover, imprecise or exaggerated expert testimony has sometimes contributed to the admission of erroneous or misleading evidence."
To improve the state and use of forensic science, the report recommends that Congress establish a National Institute of Forensic Science, which, among other duties, would establish best practices and standards for accreditation for professionals and labs, as well as determine "standard terminology" to be used by professionals when testifying about results of forensic investigations. The report also recommends requiring that forensic labs be accredited and forensic science professionals be certified.

The service is completely free and covers almost anything you can think of (from cars to computers, handyman, and even drones). With anything, if you can remove the batteries and get it to work, the firmware is usually the fix that will resolve the issue.
If you dont know how to do a firmware update, just look at the link below!
The remote is 3 or 4 years old and has never been dropped.
You should see Safe Mode appear on the LCD screen With your remote in safe mode, you will then need to update the firmware.
For steps on updating the firmware, refer to this article
NGI restarted my remote in "safe mode" and installed new firmware. I can't transfer settings (update remote) I tried the old web based interface.
Here you can find all LOGITECH device drivers for Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP you want to download.
The service is completely free and covers almost anything you can think of (from cars to computers, handyman, and even drones).
On Friday, January 1, 2010 we experienced an issue which caused some Harmony remote updates to stop at 3%. All they want is you to buy a new remote or pay to fix their problem, not yours. I guess my H520 connects to the server you are talking about.... After it tests the update the remote goes back to saying "start the Logitech Harmony Remote Software to update settings"At the same time the status section of the computer looks like software is updating the remote isn't showing anything. After about 10 attempts it was able to communicate with my remote and reset it.
If so, replace it with an exact equivalent (rechargeable of course, same voltage, same type of rechargeable, same size).
Rechargeable batteries go semi-dead in several years' time.
Remove the battery and unplug the USB cable from the remote2.
Hold down the Off button and place the battery back in the remote while continuing to hold down the Off button.
Below is Logitech Harmony Remotes device types, you can find the drivers you want to download and update.

Discover the remote Maine woods on true ski adventure. We'll be based at West Branch Pond Camps within the AMC's 70,000 acre reserve east of Greenville, Maine. We will BC ski on unbroken trails, winding up the White Cap Mtn ridge and through hills and woods on a trails ranging from wide roads and open ponds to narrow trails and some bushwacking. The terrain will vary from well graded dirt roads to some steeper stuff. Some of the trails will be unbroken and we will cut the tracks, but some will be packed out and some trails near the camp may be tracked. The BC tours will be 10-12 miles and 2000'-2500' feet of rise and wind up mountain ridges and through some thick woods. Expect some climbing and descending but advanced downhill or tele turns are not required. Climbing skins are not absolutely required, but if you have them bring them as they could be a great aid, depending on the on site conditions. Participants should be comfortable climbing and descending on varied terrain and conditions. The best ski will be a metal edged, double camber touring ski with a profile of about 67-57-62 and bring a pair also 10-20 cm wider in each dimension if the snow is deep like it was in 2015. Our cozy cabins in West Branch Pond Camps are rustic, but come with all the basic amenities; they are heated with wood stoves, there are toilets and a shower in the bath house and our hearty meals will be cooked by the camp owner, Eric Stirling and his staff and taken in the kitchen of the dining hall. Our large cabin has a nice sitting room for our socializing after a nice day skiing in the woods. Electric service typically is on from 5 - 9 pm daily. Each night, you'll find ambience, great company and hearty replenishment after a great day in the woods! The trip officially starts on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at noon sharp when we meet at the cafe in Northwoods Outfitters, 5 Lily Bay Rd in Greenville, Maine, 04441. After meeting up and purchasing any last supplies we will drive together the approx 30 miles to WBPC together; the last 20 miles are on a dirt road which is usually pretty well plowed out. We will then have a few hours of "shakedown ski", followed by full days of skiing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, February 24th, after about a 2/3 day of skiing we will head back to Boston at about 2 pm. Greenville is about 5 hours from Boston. Of course, you can extend the trip by booking directly with West Branch Pond Camps.Directions:
For driving directions, we meet at Northwoods Outfitters, 5 Lily Pond Rd, Greenville, Maine on 2/20 at 1200. We will convoy together to the remote WBPC from there. Contact the leader for further guidance. .

Surely, this has to be one of the most unique boiled eggs in the world. In case you can't make it out properly, we ought to explain that this is a duck egg. With a duck embryo inside. And that strip of black there is indeed baby duck fur. It's an image so frightful to some that eating it became a featured challenge on TV shows like Survivor and Fear Factor. To others, however, this is simply a delicious Filipino street delicacy.
Keeping an open mind, we plucked up the courage to try one of these babies (pun very much intended) while on a recent trip to the Philippines with one of our Filipino friends. But what did it taste like? And what does a whole baby duck feel like inside your mouth? We give you everything you need to know, complete with mouth-watering photos.

Basic Handling
- This page is designed to give an overview of basic handling when using the AEM author environment. It uses the Sites console as a basis.
- Some functionality is not available in all consoles and additional functionality may be available in some consoles. Specific information about the individual consoles and their related functionality will be covered in more detail on other pages.
- Keyboard shortcuts are available throughout AEM. In particular when using consoles and editing pages .
Getting Started
A Touch-Enabled UI
AEM's user interface has been enabled for touch. A touch-enabled interface allows you to use touch to interact with the software through gestures such as tap, touch-and-hold, and swipe. This is in contrast to how a traditional desktop interface operates with mouse actions such as click, double-click, right-click, and mouseover. Because only gestures are required, the touch-enabled UI is fully operational on mobile tablet devices and still has full functionality on the desktop as well.
First Steps
Immediately after logging in you arrive on the Navigation panel . This will be discussed in more detail in a following section.
Clicking on one of the options opens the respective console. To get a good understanding of the basic use of AEM, this document is based on the Sites console.
Click or tap on Sites to get started.
The Header
The header is always present at the top of the screen. While most options in the header remain the same no matter where you are in the system, some are context-specific.
- Select the Adobe Experience Manager link to navigate between consoles.
- You can also use the shortcut key / (forward slash) to invoke search from any console.
- This icon will be badged with the number of currently assigned incomplete notifications.Out-of-the-box AEM comes pre-loaded with administrative tasks assigned to the administrator user group. See Your Inbox - Out-of-the-Box Administrative Tasks for details.
- The options presented depend on your current console. For example, in Sites you can select content only (the default), the timeline, references or filter side panel.
- BreadcrumbsSituated in the middle of the rail, and always showing the description of the currently selected item, the breadcrumbs allow you to navigate within a specific console. In the Sites console, you can navigate through the levels of your website.Simply click on the breadcrumb text to display a drop-down listing the levels of the hierarchy of the currently selected item. Click on an entry to jump to that location.
- Analytics time period selectionThis is available in list view only. See list view for more information.
- Create buttonOnce clicked, the options displayed are appropriate to the console/context.
- You can switch between column view, card view, list view and the view settings.
Accessing Help
There are various help resources available:
- Console ToolbarDepending on your location the Help icon will open the appropriate resources:
- NavigationThe first time you navigate the system, a series of slides introduce AEM navigation .
- Page EditorThe first time you edit a page a series of slides introduce the page editor.Navigate this overview as you would the product navigation overview when first accessing any console.From the Page Information to show this again at any time.
- Tools ConsoleFrom the Tools console you can also access the external Resources :
You can access an overview of shortcut keys available at any time using the hotkey ? (question mark) when in a console.For an overview of all keyboard shortcuts see the following documentation:
- Documentation View the Web Experience Management documentation
- Developer Resources Developer resources and downloads
Actions Toolbar
Whenever a resource is selected (e.g. a page or an asset), various actions are indicated by icons with explanatory text in the toolbar. These actions are dependent on:
- The current console.
- The current context.
- Whether you are in selection mode .
The action available in the toolbar change to reflect the actions you can take on the specific items selected.
How you select a resource depends on the view.
Due to the space restrictions in some windows, the toolbar can quickly become longer than the space available. When this happens additional options appears. Clicking or tapping on the ellipsis (the three dots or ... ) opens a drop down selector holding all remaining actions. For example, after selecting a page in the Sites console:
The individual icons available are documented in relation to the appropriate console/feature/scenario.
Quick Actions
In Card View certain actions are available as quick action icons as well as being on the toolbar. Quick action icons are available for a single item at a time and eliminate the need for you to preselect.
The quick actions are visible when you mouseover (desktop device) a resource card. The quick actions available can depend on the console and context. For example, here are the quick actions for a page in the Sites console:
Viewing and Selecting Resources
Viewing, navigating, and selecting are each conceptually the same across all views, but have small variations in handling, dependent on the view you are using.
You can view, navigate through, and select (for further action) your resources with any of the available views, each of which can be selected by the icon at the top right:
By default, AEM Assets does not display the original renditions of assets in the UI as thumbnails in any of the views. If you are an administrator, you can use overlays to configure AEM Assets to display original renditions as thumbnails.
Selecting Resources
Selecting a specific resource is dependent on a combination of the view and the device:
|Column View
|Card View
|List View
Deselecting All
In all cases as you select items, the count of the items selected is displayed at the top-right of the toolbar.
You can deselect all items and exit selection mode by clicking or tapping the X next to the count.
In all views, all items can be deslected by tapping escape on the keyboard if you are using a desktop device.
Selecting Example
- For example in card view:
- Once you have selected a resource the top header is covered by the actions toolbar that provides access to actions currently applicable to the selected resource.To exit selection mode select the X to the top-right.
Column View
The column view allows for a visual navigation of a content tree through a series of cascading columns. This view allows you to visualize and traverse the tree structure of your website.
Selecting a resource in the leftmost column will display the child resources in a column to the right. Selecting a resource in the right column will then display the child resources in another column to the right and so on.
- You can navigate up and down in the tree by tapping or clicking on the resource name or the chevron to the right of the resource name.
- The resource name and chevron will be highlighted when tapped or clicked.
- The children of the clicked/tapped resource are displayed in the column to the right of the clicked/tapped resource.
- If you tap or click on a resource name that has no children, its details will be displayed in the final column.
- Tapping or clicking on the thumbnail selects the resource.
When a page is selected in column view, the selected page is displayed in the final colum along with the following details:
- When selected, a checkmark will be overlaid on the thumbnail and the resource name will be highlighted as well.
- The details of the selected resource will be shown in the final column.
- Page title
- Page name (part of the page's URL)
- Template the page is based on
- Last modified date
- Last user to modify page
- Page language
- Publication status
Card View
- Card view displays information cards for each item at the current level. These provide information such as:
- A visual representation of the page content.
- The page title.
- Important dates (such as last edited, last published).
- If the page is locked, hidden or part of a livecopy.
- If appropriate, when you are required to take action as part of a workflow.
- Markers that indicate required actions may be related to entries in your Inbox .
- Quick actions are also available in this view such as selection and common actions such as edit.
- You can navigate down the tree by tapping/clicking on cards (taking care to avoid the quick actions) or up again by using the breadcrumbs in the header .
List View
- The list view lists information for each resource at the current level.
- You can navigate down through the tree by tapping/clicking on the resource name and back up by using the breadcrumbs in the header .
- To easily select all items in the list, use the checkbox at the top-left of the list.
- When all items in the list are selected, this checkbox appears checked.
- Click or tap the checkbox to deselect all.
- When only some items are selected, it appears with a minus sign.
- Click or tap the checkbox to select all.
- Click or tap the checkbox again to deselect all.
- Select the columns to be shown using **View Settings **option located under the Views button. The following columns are available for display:
By default the Name column is shown, which makes up part of the URL for the page. In some cases the author might need to access pages that are in a different language and seeing the name of the page (which usually is unchanging) can be of great help if the author does not know the language of the page.
- Name - Page name, which can be useful in a multilingual authoring environment since it is part of the page's URL and does not change regardless of language
- Modified - Last modified date and last modified by user
- Published - Publication status
- Template - Template on which the page is based
- Page analytics
- Unique visitors
- Time on page
- Change the order of items using the dotted vertical bar at the far right of each item in the list.
Changing the order works only within an ordered folder that has jcr:primaryType value as sling:OrderedFolder .
Click or tap on the vertical selection bar and drag the item to a new position in the list.
- You can display Analytics Data by showing the appropriate columns using the View Settings dialogue.You can filter Anyltics Data for the past 30, 90, or 365 days using the filter options on the right side of the header.
Rail Selector
The Rail Selector is available at the top-left of the window and displays options depending on your current consoles.
For example, in Sites you can select content only (the default), content tree, the timeline, references, or filter side panel.
If content only is selected, then only the rail icon appears. When any other option is selected, the option name appears next to the rail icon.
Keyboard shortcuts are available to quickly switch between rail display options.
Content tree
The content tree can be used to quickly navigate the site hierarchy within the side panel and view much information about the pages in the current folder.
Using the content tree side panel in conjunction with a list view or cards view, users can easily see the hierarchical structure of the project and navigate easily across the content structure with the content tree side-panel, as well as view detailed page information in the list view.
Once an entry in the hierarchy view is selected, arrow keys can be used to quickly navigate the hierarchy.
Refer to the keyboard shortcuts for more information.
The timeline can be used to view and/or initiate events that have occured on the selected resource. To open the timeline column use the rail selector:
The timeline column allows you to:
- View various events related to a selected item.
- The event types can be selected from the drop-down list:
- Annotations
- Activities
- with the exception of transient workflows as no history information is saved for these
- and Show All
- Add/view comments about the selected item. The Comment box is shown at the bottom of the list of events. Typing a comment followed by Return will register the comment. It is shown when Comments or Show All is selected.
- Specific consoles have additional functionality. For example, in the Sites console you can:
These options accessible via the chevron next to the Comment field.
References shows any connections to the selected resource. For example, in the Sites console references for pages shows:
- Content references (e.g. content borrowed and/or lent by the Reference component)
This will open a panel similar to search with the appropriate location filters already set, allowing you to further filter the content you wish to view.
