Neighbour with the enemy
Srebrenica Travel Blog› entry 6 of 8 › view all entries
Muslim woman Mehmedovic Dogaz lost two of her sons during the massacre in Srebrenica and still lives next door to the people she thinks helped kill them.
By Natasja Engholm and Morten Ravn
She is sitting with her hands in her lap, dressed in a long flowered skirt, a blue shirt blouse and a white scarf around her head.
The air is dry and hot and the only thing breaking the silence is the constant sound of bluebottles buzzing. Once, the house was filled with life and noise. It was at that time when the 57 year old Mehmedovic Dogaz' family was still alive. On this day she is sitting drinking peach juice outside her house situated near the town of Srebrenica together with the last two members of the family, a second cousin and her husband, except for an 11 year old grandson living in Sweden.
Her husband, Mustafa, was killed October 10th 1992 by a grenade, which the Bosnian Serbs fired against the house of her daughter-in-law, while he was visiting. Exactly one week prior, the 3rd of October 1992, Mehmedovic Dogaz oldest son, Zuhdija, was killed by another grenade at exactly the same spot.
"His heart was blown into pieces and both his legs were broken", she says weeping.
The worst neighbours
Three years later, July 11th 1995, Mehmedovic Dogaz, saw her two youngest sons, Munib and Omer, respectively 21 and 19 years old, for the last time. That was when she, along with most of the other women and children of Srebrenica, were forced into bussed and trucks and driven away from the town.
Then the Bosnian Serbs killed the more than 7.000 Bosnian Muslims who were held back in the town, among them the two youngest sons of Mehmedovic Dogaz. Their bodies have not yet been found.
The former Bosnian-Serbian politician, Radovan Karadziz, and Ratko Mladic, general in the Bosnian-Serbian army are believed to be behind the massacre, and to this day they are still wanted in connection with these crimes against humanity
The massacre also caused a lot of international awareness, because it happened in an area that was controlled by Dutch FN-soldiers and had been declared a safe zone.
As by the most evil irony of fate, Mehmedovic Dogaz today lives with neighbours of the worst kind she could ever imagine. From her back yard she has a view over the memorial place, where the victims of the massacre are buried. This is also the place where her sons probably will be buried under the traditional green Muslim tomb stone, if their corpses are ever found.
And behind a field, not far from the little grit road that leads to her house, lives on of the men who she believes helped kill her children.
After coming back from Tuzla in 2000, where she had been living for four year after being taken away from Srebrenica by the Bosnian Serbs, one day she went to see the house that she lived in during the war.
Suddenly her Serbian neighbour came driving towards her in his little truck. He got out of the car and came towards her, while looking at her in a threatening way.
Mehmedovic Dogaz got scared and reported the incident to the police.
But it was not to be the last unpleasant incident with her neighbour.
"One morning I was cleaning my house, when my neighbour passed by once again. He cursed my sons and told me it was a good thing that they were dead. Apparently he new that my children were dead, even though they haven't been found yet"
Mehmedovic Dogaz is today convinced that the neighbour participated in the genocide of her sons and many of the other Muslim men in Srebrenica.
"How else did he know they were dead?" she asks.
Threatened her grandson
Mehmedovic Dogaz rocks back and forward on the blanket with her legs folded under her.
She cries a little bit and then exclaims:
"Why did my son have to die? They were innocent. The children were not to blame for the war and if the Serbs wanted to take Srebrenica, they could have done it. They should not have killed our children. Slaughtering them like animals. Our children were slaughtered and left, soaked in their own blood."
She sits for a moment, wiping the tears away from her face, before she gets up and goes into her house. After a short while, she returns with a crumpled envelope that used to be white, but now looks like it has been handled many times before. She takes a small pile of pictures out of the envelope and shows them. These are pictures of her husband and three dead sons and the grandchild who survived and is now living in Sweden.
The pictures are blow-ups of ID-cards, because all the family's personal photographs were gone when Mehmedovic Dogaz returned to her house after the war. She takes a deep breath in order not to cry.
"Dogaz Mustafa. Dogaz Zuhdija. Dogaz Munib. Dogaz Omer. Dogaz Izudin".
She is practically massing the names of the family members, while showing the pictures one by one. When she shows the picture of her grandson, who is the child of her youngest son, she stops.
"He was here last year and asked for his daddy. Why should it be necessary for a little boy to ask where his father is? He has never gotten the chance to know his father because he was not born, when my son was murdered by the Serbs.
Why did this happen?", she asks, even though she has probably asked herself and others this question a lot of times before without getting an answer.
She talks about a time when her grandson was visiting her. He was playing with the cat in the farmyard in front of her house. The cat was yelling to the cat in Swedish and at that very moment Mehmedovic Dogaz' Serbian neighbour drove by. The neighbour understood the boys' yelling as being provocative, as he didn't understand Swedish, turned his truck and returned to the boy.
"Are you threatening me?" he asked the frightened boy.
"How can an 11 year old boy be a threat to a grown man?" Mehmedovic Dogaz asks.
"He just hates him, because he's not dead like his father and uncles.
Friends before the war
Before the war, ethnical heritage and religion were not something people in Srebrenica cared about.
Even when Mehmedovic Dogaz' oldest son was married her Serbian neighbour was welcomed as a guest. Today Mehmedovic Dogaz only has a few Serbian friends, who she knows didn't participate in the massacre.
She has no contact with her former Serbian neighbours and she does not want to have contact as she thinks they were the people who killed her sons.
"I know of people who participated in the killings and still have their job. They are still here and they are still working. And everyone knows who they are," she says.
For a moment the grief and despair in her look is replaced by anger and determination.
"I can never forgive them. If I killed my neighbour, would her mother forgive me? Especially if she had never done anything to hurt me".
Fears nothing more
She has lost everything. Mehmedovic Dogaz only has a little family left. The house that she lived in during the war, has no electricity and is therefore empty.
Her current house she has rented from one of her Muslim neighbours but it has neither water nor a bathroom.
She has nothing to help her in her everyday life and there's no help if she get's sick. She has never considered moving, because Srebrenica is where her husband and children are buried. And as she says:
"Where would I go?"
Still, Mehmedovic Dogaz is not afraid of anything anymore, not even the thought of another war.
"I fear nothing and nothing surprises me. Not as long as people who killed other people are free in Bosnia. Why are they not in Haag where they belong? Why are they hiding the truth? The Serbs deny that a homicide, that killed 10.000 people from nine counties of Srebrenica, took place. Only because they were Muslims. But someone must have killed them", she says.
A couple of days ago a group of Dutch children came to see Srebrenica. Mehmedovic Dogaz went to the grown-up leader of the group and said:
"How brave you were. The homicide has taken place- why did you decide to come back?"
"The Serbs slaughtered us but implicit the Dutch soldiers did so too", she thinks.
"They were
Far away from forgiveness
Today Mehmedovic Dogaz feels like she can look her Serbian neighbours in the eyes because her sons were good people.
"My children had never done anything bad to anyone. I raised my children to behave decent and do the right thing."
She closes her eyes for a minute. Then she continues in a quite voice.
"The Serbs ought to be ashamed because they killed not only my sons, but the sons of a lot of other mothers."
Today Mehmedovic Dogaz only lives to find out the truth about who killed her sons and put the people responsible to justice.
In Srebrenica there are now 33 cemeteries of victims from the war and many bodies are still waiting to be found or identified. She says that it is the only thing giving her the strength to continue.
However, Mehmedovic Dogaz
Thinks there is hope of reconciliation between the Serbs, the Muslims and the Croats in Bosnia.
"If Radovan Karadziz, Ratko Mladic and all the other war criminals are punished for what they did. Maybe then. But even though the res of the world know that they are criminals, the Serbian Medias still claim that these people are heroes. And until Serbia admits to the crimes of these people, I will never forgive them."
Facts about the massacre in Srebrenica
Srebrenica is a small town in Eastern Bosnia, which is a part of the Serbian area Republicca Srpska. Before the war two thirds of the inhabitants of the town were Muslims and a third were Serbs.
More than 40.000 Muslims were refugees in Srebrenica during the war and the area was declared a "safe zone" under the protection of UN.
On the 6th of July the Bosnian-Serbian general Ratko Mladic and his troops forced the way into the Srebrenica area, taking the Dutch UN soldiers hostage.
Busses were waiting to take 23.000 women, children and elderly away from Srebrenica. During the period July 12-July 20. Serbian soldiers killed more than 7.000 men and boys.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) –- Election Day is one week away, but the continuous coverage of the presidential candidates has a number of people feeling voter fatigue.
Mikael Pelz, a political science professor at Calvin College, said people feeling exhausted by the stream of candidate accusations and controversy flooding this election cycle are not alone.
Some people claim they don't plan to vote due to all of the coverage.
"This election season has been really bitter," said Pelz. "We have two candidates that people don't necessarily trust."
He said that if people don't trust the candidate, the strategy often turns to trying to dismantle their opponent's credibility.
"In this election, the candidates are trying to make the other person seem like they are less competent and so the rhetoric is not very positive for voters to really feel good about politics."
Pelz said that negative dynamic is part of what's wearing out potential voters.
The high volume of elections in the U.S. is also a contributing factor to voter fatigue, Pelz explained. He told 24 Hour News 8 another big contributor is the fact that it's nearly impossible to escape conversations surrounding candidate scandals and new accusations.
"My timeline is always filled with election season posts and kind of people's opinion," said one Calvin College student.
A few more people on campus echoed her statements, as did Pelz.
"You're bombarded by the people around you that you experience this personally," said Pelz. "Unlike a lot of elections where we can disagree on this policy or that policy, we're really disagreeing on whether or not these people are good or moral."
Pelz said there's also been a number of late "surprises" this election cycle, but he warns voters to make sure any new information is relevant to whether a candidate is fit for president or not.
Voter turnout is usually between 52 and 55 percent, according to Pelz.
"If we have voter fatigue and people stay away from the polls, that means that turnout might be even lower and then we have to ask ourselves – do we truly have a democracy if only half of the electorate turn out to vote?"

Have you ever thought about changing your life competely? I mean like changing your life so much that you are not even living in your own house? Well one family has dared to dream, and then taken action on that dream. They decided to take their 8 year old twins out of school, out of the normal life and hit the road on Bikes.
One Amazing Families Adventure on Bikes
What about 9,000 miles of riding a bike – across the Dessert, the hot sun, the wind, the rain, the mud, up hills and down hills? That is what I have been reading about – actually I was so spell bound that I read the whole book yesterday – reading most of it out loud to my son Cameron as he was so interested in what I was reading about!
The Family of Four Setting Off on their Adventure on Bikes!
Twenty Miles Per Cookie
I could not stop reading the book – I wanted to keep on reading….I wanted to make sure that they were able to drive out of their driveway the first day, and then keep on track with each day – they had set themselves goals of how far they would travel each day!
Along the way they meet amazing people – amazing people who were so kind to go out of their way to help Nancy and John & their twins. One day it was so hot – and they were so thirsty! Two men that they had meet before, stopped and gave them cold bottles of Gatorade.
They even brought them a whole case of the Gatorade! Because of the lack of storage space the kind "Road Angels" came up with a clever plan to make sure they received every single bottle as they still kept riding. (you will so want to read how that plan is put into action!)
Walking through Rivers 🙂
Then there were times where complete strangers stopped and helped the family. From food, water and to even giving the boys lifts to the next hill – plus they gave the family places to stay when they did not even expect.
Their faith in human kind was re-stored and they were able to stay with many people that they have never meet before, or who have never heard of the family before.
Riding Up Steep Hills – going down steep declines!
Both boys had to learn how to ride, to peddle hard. They had to learn how to push through their boundries and they learnt from early on that there was no point to complaining – if they were tired they had to keep going. If they were hungry and they had no food left, then they had to keep pedalling no matter what!
If they ran out of water they had to keep going to they reached the next town.
What really got my attention was how the boys had their toys at the start of the trip, and then soon realised that their adventure around them was their life. They made up stories, they made up games, they played with their environment. They didnt have the latest gadet, the latest DVD or the DS games to keep them happy. They played like kids used to play – with whatever they could find.
Riding Through Mexico Provided Many Challenges!
There were even times when they were faced with dangerous hi-ways, losing their sons in the dark, fending off animals into their "Pennies" that soon worked out how to eat what food they had – there was even the time where they didnt think about the rain during the night – and woke up to find everything water logged.
At times John felt like he could not go on. Even the boys thought about giving up – but as a family they pushed through their limits, through their challenges and knew that they had an end goal in sight.
Halfway through the book, you will be sitting on the edge of your seat. Wondering if they are able to face the rough environment that mother nature provides for them as they ride up hills that are so steep that walking would be faster then staying on the bike.
You will also want to soon join them on their adventure. Nancy tells their journey in a way that you feel like you have never ever done anything in life that could top what they do together. You will want to buy a bike, you will want to see more of your own country and you will want to see a different way of living.
Look at their faces as they face their first pass and make it!
If you think that you can't achieve your goals – then you need to read "Twenty Miles Per Cookies – 9,000 miles of Kid-Powered Adventures". Within a few minutes you will be hooked. You will want at least half of what of what the family of four experience together. Its almost like it wakes up your inner child – the small voice that is whispering about "What If…."
If you want your own copy then you can purchase it through Family On Bikes store.
One Amazing Families Adventure on Bikes – where a family of four travel for twelve-month, 9300-mile journey through nineteen US states and five Mexican states – sharing their experiences.
Have you ever had a dream?
If so tell me in 25 words or less "What Is Your Dream Adventure" – you will be in the running for your own copy of the book "Twenty Miles Per Cookies" – New Life on the Road has one paper copy to give away.
PS – I received a copy of "Twenty Miles Per Cookie" book from Nancy Sathre-Vogel to read and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This small Vietnamese fast food restaurant serves all kinds of stir fried noodle and rice dishes (some with authentic tamarind sauce), but we recommend its namesake, the flavourful pho soup, which fragrantly simmers in a huge pot. You can enjoy your taste of Southeast Asia at one of the elevated tables, in the window niches or at the counter next to the open-plan kitchen where the cooks toil over their woks behind a glass partition. Lunch specials are available during the day, but if you're thirsty then try one of its exotic imported juices or a proper Vietnamese coffee (with or without condensed milk) made with a special one cup metal filter just like they do back in the old country.

Today we have the scoop on Legacy West, the Metroplex's highly anticipated shopping destination. Not only will the urban destination punch some serious punch in the retail and restaurant categories, but it will also be home to the new headquarters for Toyota, FedEx Office and JCPenney.
Opening this spring in Plano, this is more than your average retail hotspot. Legacy West's Director of Marketing Victoria Snee gave us details on what to expect and what she's looking forward to most. Read on for more!
With the grand opening set for March 2, we can finally take a deep breath and prepare for what the West side has to offer. "It's all about creating a one-of-a-kind experience," Victoria told us. "We want to offer our customers a beautiful setting and a place where they can truly enjoy themselves."
What Victoria calls a "lifestyle shopping center," Legacy West will feature a range of tenants appealing to the masses.
"We hope they spend the day here shopping, dining and exploring and then relaxing in the evening with family and friends while enjoying an exceptional meal," she said. Speaking of meals, we can't wait to taste what the new restaurants are cooking up. From Del Frisco's to Shake Shack and even Sprinkles, it sounds like the new centre will have a great mix of foodie pleasures.
If there's something creating a huge buzz, it's the food hall. Legacy Hall will be home to 20 to 25 different food stalls featuring some of our favorite Dallas chefs, as well as chefs on the rise.
"Legacy Hall will be 3 stories and 55,000 square feet, including a craft brewery and an outdoor venue for concerts, movies, fashion shows and other special events," Victoria told us. Legacy Hall is definitely more than your average food court.
We all know what we're most excited for – shopping! Victoria gave us a sneak peek on what to expect when it comes to retailers at Legacy West. Frontgate, the luxury retailer known for its trendy furniture, will be making its first appearance in the Southwest right here at Legacy West. For all of you bookworms out there, Barnes and Noble is set to open its new concept store, featuring beer and wine. Of course, this luxury shopping center will feature many of our favorite retailers such as Johnny Was, Coach, Tumi and Bonobos!
"Every aspect of this project has been exciting," Victoria mentioned. "To be a part of something literally from the ground up is just thrilling. You truly feel like you are a part of something spectacular. I just can't wait for everything to open. People are going to be amazed."

This editorial will appear in Thursday's print edition.
In the budget crunching going on in Olympia, just about everyone is being asked to give up something.
And although many South Sounders have their hearts set on illuminating the second Tacoma Narrows bridges, that looks to be one of the casualties as the Legislature scours the budget looking for ways to avoid cutting jobs and vital services.
The $1.5 million for the bridge-lighting project won't make a huge dent in the state's $2.8 billion deficit – or even the $150 million in cuts needed from the capital budget. But giving it up is an important symbolic gesture for the two Gig Harbor legislators who have pushed for the money, Sen. Derek Kilmer and Rep. Larry Seaquist. It's an acknowledgement that compared to providing health care for children and the low-income and college financial aid, lighting the bridge is a lower priority.
In just a tight year, it might have made sense for the two to fight for the bridge money. After all, it would have a trickle-down stimulus effect for the South Sound by providing jobs for local electrical workers and revenue for local suppliers. But this is a disastrous year.
At a time when budgeters are scrutinizing every expenditure, it's only right that something that's more aesthetic than necessary should be sacrificed. It's hard to justify a "nice-to-have" project when people are losing jobs and health care.
Just because the money won't be there this year doesn't mean the dream of lighting the bridge should go away. The challenge will be for NarrowsBridgeLights.org volunteers to get past their disappointment and stay focused on the project for when the economy improves. Those glimmers are already being seen in brighter jobs numbers.
There might even be a silver lining to a delay. It would give volunteers additional time to raise private money. And the solar technology that will be used to power the lights likely will be even further along.
The bridge will get lit. Just a little later.

Supporters of Kinders Together have launched a heated campaign calling for Cardinia Shire Council to reinstate its early year's management tender to the local organisation after it missed out on renewing its contracts in controversial circumstances.
The Gazette, other media and the council have been inundated with hundreds of calls, emails and messages of anger following the shire's 3 July announcement that it had awarded Western Australia-based childcare provider One Tree and Glen Waverly organisation Best Chance with five-year licences to operate the shire's kindergartens over Kinders Together.
As of 2018, Best Chance will operate 15 local kindergartens, One Tree has been awarded the contract for three and a third provider, ECMS, will also operate one kindergarten which has yet to be built.
The decision has angered some parents and staff members of the 19 centres currently operated by the Garfield-based Kinders Together (KT) who feel that the council failed to consult the community during the process and believe KT should have retained its contracts.
They say the local organisation was blindsided by the tender process and was not informed it would have to reapply for its contracts until early this year.
However, the council said it met with KT's CEO and staff in 2014 to discuss its future during which a three-year contract, which was due to expire in December 2017, was signed.
"At the time of issuing the licences, it was agreed that an open expression of interest process would take place in early to mid-2017 to issue licences beyond 2017," the council said in an online statement.
"This process was undertaken to ensure that children and families continue to have access to high quality, inclusive services that are responsive to their needs, both now and into the future.
"It also ensured that the very best providers in Australia had an opportunity to express their interest in delivering high-quality services for families in Cardinia Shire."
But the signing of One Tree has left some parents sick to their stomach after news surfaced that the organisation was last year subject to disciplinary action at the Western Australia state tribunal following an incident in which a staff member at one of its centres was found not to have adequately cared for a child.
"I genuinely feel so ill about this," one parent said this week.
"I feel sick to the core with worry about my children and other people's children. If council knew about this then they have a lot of explaining to do because this is not acceptable."
Cardinia Shire Council CEO Garry McQuillan said this information was readily shared with the council and the organisation had been assured that such an incident would not occur again.
"Through the EOI process, all applicants declared relevant incidences to the management of early childhood services and facilities," Mr McQuillan said.
"This included the declaration by One Tree Community Services of an incident that occurred at one of its centres in Western Australia in 2016.
"This was the first incident in 43 years of operating and was a result of a break-in at the centre the night prior."
Parents who have joined together to form the Keep Our Kinders Together campaign are outraged they were not consulted on a process which directly impacted on their children's future and are devastated that what they said was the council's "neglect" could place their children "at risk".
Adding "insult" to the matter was that 2018 kindergarten offers were sent out to parents just days after the announcement of the successful applicants of the tender.
The shire was slammed in a social media post on 10 July announcing the first round of kinder offers, with parents questioning how they can accept without knowing the staff, curriculum or fees.
"How can we make an informed decision when we have no information? We can't possibly know which kinder will suit our kids' best needs with no information about any of them," one parent commented.
Mr McQuillan said the council was confident it had made the best decision through a fair process.
"It was clear the successful applicants provided superior responses throughout the EOI process, which included both their written submissions and subsequent formal interviews," the CEO said.
"Through this process council wanted to not only attract kindergarten program providers that could provide high quality education and care services, but that would also exceed expectations by offering additional secondary services to add value and meet the varied needs of children, parents, carers and educators of Cardinia Shire."
Gembrook MP Brad Battin, who met with about 40 parents on Monday night to discuss their concerns, called for the shire to halt its "flawed" process.
"The Shire of Cardinia has failed to consult with parents about the future of their children's education. This … could impact on outcomes for children and will result in lost jobs in Cardinia," Mr Battin said.
"Cardinia Shire Council must stop this process, not sign any new contracts and speak to the passionate mums and dads who deserve to be heard."
Kinders Together CEO Roger Chao met with the Gazette to discuss the matter but refused to speak publicly.

Good's World Cup Dream Still Alive
Written by Newcastle Utd
Newcastle United FC
Curtis Good is back on Tyneside after suffering an injury on his debut for Australia, but still hopes he can earn a call-up for the World Cup
By Dan King - Newcastle United Digital Editor
Curtis Good's World Cup dream is still alive despite him being ruled out for between four and six weeks with an abductor injury sustained on his debut for Australia.
The 20-year-old defender's impressive performances on loan at Dundee United earned him a call-up for the Socceroos' friendly with Ecuador last week.
But in a typically cool display at Millwall's New Den, his night was ended prematurely and Australia ended up losing 4-3.
Good is currently back on Tyneside for treatment, but will return north of the border once he's recovered.
"It was my first call-up so it was pretty exciting when the call came," he told nufc.co.uk.
"I had to come off with an innocuous sort of injury and we ended up losing 4-3, so there were highs and lows.
"It was unfortunate circumstances (with the result and the injury) but overall it was exciting."
Australia coach Ange Postecoglou was clearly impressed with Good, hailing his display as "fantastic".
And the Magpies man said: "I hope he was, put it that way, but it's just good to get your first cap out of the way because I was quite nervous before the game.
"At least I'm in the mix now but obviously I need to get this sorted if I want to have a chance of going to the World Cup.
"So fingers crossed it's not too long and hopefully I'll get another call-up."
Good - who played in last year's Capital One Cup final during a loan spell at Bradford - joined Dundee United in January and has yet to be on the losing side at Tannadice.
He smiled: "I've loved it, to be honest. I went up there and we got a good run of results, which was good.
"Confidence was high so it was a good environment to be at, so I've thoroughly enjoyed it and hopefully I'll be back up there soon.
"It's a very decent standard - I was surprised actually because I'd never really watched it except Celtic and Rangers. But I'm very impressed with the standard and there are some really good young players there."
He even powered home a header in last month's 3-2 win over Kilmarnock.
"I'd scored in the A-League when I was younger but it was my first goal over here," he said. "It was a great feeling and it was good to get on the scoresheet."

If you wish to study your golf stance and swing, watch yourself in a mirror. Or, much better still, as k a buddy to video you as you swing. In this means, you will certainly be able to see if your body is lined up well, and you are swinging properly. When you have actually seen exactly what your errors are, it should be fast work to remedy them.
Given that you have been so committed to your exercise it is time to reward yourself. Your golf game is truly reward enough but a little extra present will certainly keep you moving in the favorable direction for rather a long time. Buy yourself a new club or plan a special weekend. Occasional benefits will certainly keep you inspired along your journey.
The face of your club ought to be squared up with the sphere as you take your shot. This assists the round to travel in a totally straight line. Your golf sphere will certainly enter an unintended direction if you don't square your club up with it. Practice your swing until you have learned ways to center your shots.
You do not require a set of professional grade clubs with all the devices to start to find out to play the sport of golf. To start with, golf is costly. As you get better, reward yourself with more costly clubs and devices, however to begin, just get a great set of clubs.
Discover a method to begin playing a better game of golf today using what you have actually learned in this short article. Replace your old bad golf video game practices with something new from the pointers above. When you make the modification to a better game, you will never ever recall.
Getting its start in the Highlands of Scotland and eventually branching out to different locations across the globe, golf is now one of the most significant sports out there, taken pleasure in by millions of individuals. If you're one of the millions, you might be looking at a few methods to get better at the video game. Try these suggestions on for size.
Align your club face prior to you align your body. Prior to you deal with the round, set your club face to the line which you will certainly be attacking. Only after the club face is lined up need to you bring yourself in and assume your grip. The club face is the most fundamental part of your alignment, so focus on that first.
An useful tip when it pertains to golfing is to understand when to tell yourself it's time to move on to the next golf hole. It can be exacerbating for other players in your group or behind your group if you consistently take a lot of shots per hole and hold everybody up.
Keep in mind, putting is similar to golfing. The club is a pendulum. An extension of your body that moves easily, like the pendulum of a grandfather clock. This is especially true with putting. Almost no force has to be exerted in a putt. Simply lift the club to the desired distance on the pendulum swing which let your arm muscles go. You'll be surprised how far the ball goes.
There are numerous methods to putt a golf sphere, but for the beginner golf player the most easy means to bear in mind proper putting is the word "center". All puts ought to originate from the center of the putter while you are still discovering. As soon as you end up being more skilled, you can begin to discover about zones of the putter and how that will impact your shot.
Avoid collapsing your knee on your backswing as this will lead to a drop in your shoulder, followed by a swaying and reversing of your hips. Rather, photo your left knee being required outward toward the target throughout the backswing. For viewpoint, think about how it would feel to put a basketball in between your knees as you swing.
The knees remain slightly flexed throughout every part of an excellent golf swing. Golf players could feel a natural tendency to lock their legs at full extension in either the back-swing or the follow-through. These advises have to be reduced for best kind. Great golf players keep exercising up until they can keep their knees bent throughout their swing.
Be certain to keep a pure mental focus and concentration on your next stroke. Whether you have been striking well or badly so far doesn't matter - you're only as great as your next shot. If you are still mad at yourself for an error you made on the last hole, your swing off the next tee will certainly not work out. Always focus on the next shot, and let the past ones stay in the past.
Make certain to drink sufficient water and stretch correctly similar to you would throughout any other sport. Taking conscious care of your figure adds to your success on the golf course.

Ten Plagues
which ones?
I like it The Plagues must be done against all of my ennemies ! ! !
This video was amazing! More than what I learned in school with my Rabbi!
It tells much more than books or games tell you and all about how Moshe Rabanu and Aaron did the ten macos to the Egyptians. This video was amazing except for the fact that it needs more words. I loved this clip!
Brilliant! This website was extremely helpful for my Moses VS Abraham homework for RE. Despite this, there are some problems, as they don't exactly match up to the Bible, but if they match up to the plagues in the Torah, it works for me!! Really wish that I could make it bigger on screen though, as I could hardly see what it said at first. It was great fun trying to guess what it was going to be. JOLLY WELL DONE!!
I read the comments. No need to explain plague 4. I read the comments. THanks.
Wild Animals? I like these animations, very nice to add the visual to our reading of the story in Exodus. I've seen a couple of times on different websites "wild animals" and I can't figure out where that comes from. I've looked the passage up in a couple different versions of the bible and it always says flies is the 4th plague.
very helpful very helpfull but more words would be better
need more words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plagues 3+4 cant help but notice my bible says Gnats and flies rather than lice and wild animals
size wish I could make it bigger on screen.
hoework thank you so so much i realy liked this website 5 star quality
Social Studies Wow, this was recommended by my teacher, and I got to understand this more than a video. Thanks!
good animations liked every single one of them
so needed that for my homework about the 10 plagues
Needed this for my homework Thank u sooooooooo much man I really appreciate it !!!!!!
homework thanks so much i neeed it so badly
Plague 4 is wrong it is flies in Exodus 8:20
plagues Some literature states third and fourth as lice/gnats and flies/wild beasts. Where did difference originate?
10 plauges I loved this! Thank you, I also needed this for homework because I couldn't get the plages from the film The Prince of Egypt where all my other info is from!! It helped me loads. Thanks again!
LOLOLOLOLWUT Lolololololol.. was so funny hardy ha ha.

2006 Toyota Camry Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
The Best Car
By krasi henkel on
Vehicle2006 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
ReviewAfter owning 10 new American cars with various mechanical and consetic problems and never any help from their manufacturers or dealers, I stopped trying to support the American auto industry and decided to support my personal fiscal policy: elegant, comfortable car, low maintenance, economical, and great to drive. The winner: Toyota Camry!! There is no equal. Now on my 6th Toyota, and still loving it. GM & Ford lost my business through poor service and quality. Not going back. Excellent car, great drive, no problems!!
Best FeaturesI love the size, big enough but small enough to reach things in passenger and back seats. Great sun roof, comfortable seats - love the leather, quiet, peppy.
Worst FeaturesSound system can use improvement. Poor audio quality even on upgraded system. Wish they had the Mark Levinson system as an option.

We can only estimate the distribution of stock returns but from option prices we observe the distribution of state prices. State prices are the product of risk aversion — the pricing kernel — and the natural probability distribution. The Recovery Theorem enables us to separate these so as to determine the market's forecast of returns and the market's risk aversion from state prices alone. Among other things, this allows us to recover the pricing kernel, the market risk premium, the probability of a catastrophe, and to construct model free tests of the efficient market hypothesis.

Dollar Strength
October 2, 2015 in Forex Analysis
The U.S. dollar has remained very strong in 2015 as the U.S. economy has expanded at a faster rate than many of its competitors. Some countries have encouraged weakness in their respective currencies and the U.S. dollar has been a major beneficiary. The greenback is the world's dominant currency and is close to a 12-year high against both the Euro and the Yen. Against emerging market currencies and commodity-based currencies the U.S. dollar has surged in 2015. In 2013, one U.S. dollar was worth less than one Canadian dollar – today it is over 30% higher, one U.S. dollar is currently worth $1.33 CAD. It is a similar situation with the Australian dollar as the collapse in commodities and concerns about the Chinese economy has resulted in a sharp fall in the Australian dollar. In 2013, one Australian dollar was worth more one U.S. dollar – today, approximately 70 U.S. cents are equivalent to one Australian dollar.
The Brazilian Real has collapsed in recent years against the U.S. dollar as the economy in the South American country has been very weak. Between 2011 and 2013 one U.S. dollar was trading between 1.50 and 2.45 Real. Today, one U.S. dollar is equivalent to approximately 4 Real. The collapse in the Real has made exports to the U.S. extremely competitive but imports from U.S.A are more than twice as expensive from 2013 levels.
The Euro's problems have been well documented over the last year or so. The Euro has lost more than a quarter of its value against the U.S. dollar, in May 2014 it was trading at $1.40, today it is approximately $1.10 and a return to parity is within the realms of possibility in the not too distant future as quantitative easing puts pressure on the Euro.
Over the last couple of years, the Japanese government through Abenomics has encouraged a sharp fall in the Japanese Yen to boost the economy through exports. The Yen which was trading below 80 Yen in 2013 against the U.S. dollar is now trading above 120 Yen.
Sterling has also weakened against the U.S. dollar over the past 12 months but not to the same extent. In July 2014, Sterling was trading above $1.70. Today it is approximately 10 per cent weaker with cable trading today at $1.5150.

The Kennedys Price List & Floor Strategies Offering Genuine Estate Is Straightforward When You Know These Ideas
The Kennedys Preconstruction Condominiums in Toronto When you are a land owner, a significant portion of your personal net worth may be tied up in that property. If you wish to sell your house, it is crucial to get the most profit possible out of the transaction. Making sure this happens. It doesn't need to be stressful, though; prepare yourself with the following information, and get the price you deserve for your property.
There are a lot of different hassles that can come about when deciding to remodel or repair your home, like landscaping, painting, or electronic problems. However, if this upkeep is not maintained, the home will require a great deal of work and expense before it is ready to sell.
Register here for Prices Empty your home out as much as possible, even if you're still living there. Give your potential buyers the space they need to imagine the home as their own. By sorting through your things and discarding those you don't actually want, you not only make this possible, but you also make it easier for you to make the actual move when you need to.
Seasons influence the housing market in certain areas. The fall is typically slower than the summer months, but your home can be more attractive to buyers if you decorate it for the season. During the autumn months, you should keep the yard well maintained. Ensure the leaves are raked and disposed of.
Sometimes creating competitive bidding wars can really pay off. Set a price just below what properties are sold for in your neighborhood to attract many buyers. If there are multiple buyers, a bidding war could occur, and this could end up in a better selling price being achieved for you.
The Kennedys Preconstruction Condo in Toronto To sell your house at it's maximum price, you may want to try to develop a bidding war. The more competitive your listing price, the more likely you are to get a lot of foot traffic and a quick deal near asking price. The more parties that are interested in your property, the more likely you are to get the full asking price, if not more.
An inviting house tends to be welcoming to someone that is seeking to buy. This plays a major role in the likelihood that prospective buyers will give the property further consideration.
You can create a more inviting and attractive atmosphere during an open house by eliminating all signs of clutter. Keep only a few items in the closets, and be sure that the shelves are dust-free and organized nicely. There also shouldn't be much in kitchen cabinets, but one psychological trick you can use is buying some gourmet food to make your house seem more classy than it actually is.
The Kennedys Preconstruction Condos Anyone who is preparing to list a property on the market should set clear and reasonable goals for themselves. Buyers can establish their wants and expectations well in advance, which makes it easier to avoid making a rash decision. Sellers can set price floors in advance to avoid taking bad offers because they are desperate to sell the property.
Under-price your home if you need to sell it quickly. Price your house at least 10 percent less than the listing price of the cheapest comparable house in your neighborhood. When buyers see the low price, they'll be enthused, and will want to look at the property immediately.
Paint the interior of your house to prepare it for sale. You can do it yourself, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Your old walls can appear new again. Select a neutral color the buyers will be able to paint over easily.
The Kennedys Condominiums Toronto When selling your house, be willing to negotiate with people making offers. While you might be indignant if a buyer offers a lower price, it is important to keep an open mind. Ask your agent for their frank opinion about what amount constitutes a reasonable offer for your property.
As mentioned earlier, understanding why you've chosen to sell may have as much of an impact as determining if it is the right time to sell. This article gave the best on profits, pricing and the many other factors involved in the selling process. This advice will be helpful and allow you to make your home selling decisions with less stress.

This has been one of the most thrilling years of my career. A bit of a worry when I turned down offers for the revised Valentino book because the publishers who approached me wouldn't do it unless they did the Piaf 50th anniversary one as well. I just didn't want a new outfit being pestered by Valentino loonies, so I did it myself. But, the same loonies drawing attention to me resulted in three more publishing deals--including one for a multi-part series about The Wars of The Roses. The first one comes out next month, round about the same time as my novel about the German Occupation. Roger, my godfather, will be smiling down on me, I hope--it's his story, only the names have changed.
And now, the discovery of Richard's remains has given renewed interest in my other Wars of The Roses saga that's been sitting in the loft for ten years--just as the novels were. When I first started out back in 1987--new career, new name, new home, new lots of other things--I was writing biographies and novels. I published the first Piaf, then they wanted a follow-up. Someone had submitted a biography of George Formby which had caused a bit of a hoo-hah: the publisher kept him hanging on until I had agreed to to do one and it hit the press, then they let him down gently--not a very gentlemanly thing to do, but I'd had it done to me with Josephine Baker, and sadly it's a dog-eat-dog world. The same thing happened again with Maria Callas and Freddie Mercury, and with Liz Taylor the publisher actually negotiated a deal which would see the book emerging a week after she died. Elizabeth knew aabout this all along, and was kindness itself. It's not my fault if I corner the market, they tell me.
But back to Richard. I've now had to completely rewrite the opening chapter of his section of 'The Yorkist Kings'. No more withered arm, humped back and eating live frogs--not that I believed any of that stuff in the first place, though if you're writing something that's supposed to be academic you have to examine every angle. And now I have the 'new' Richard watching me while I work, and I have to say, that image haunted me for many nights before I got used to him. In medieval terms, he now fits into the same matinee idol category as John Dynham and Edward IV.
Neither do I believe that Richard personally killed The Princes In The Tower, only that--again in the dog-eat-dog violent world he lived in--something had to be done about them. The idea of infanticide is repulsive today, but back then it would have been little different than lopping off a thief's hand for stealing bread. The boys were considered dangerous. Insurrections took place in their name, therefore the obvious solution would have been to remove them--like I say, a repulsive thought today, and before the loonies start mouthing off, not one that I agree with. Save that I don't believe that they were removed. Otherwise where does Perkin Warbeck, another medieval matinee idol--fit into all of this?
The television movie about Perkin, with Mark Umbers in the title-role was excellent. It would be nice if they could now do a film about Richard. And I adored that very apt line pronounced by Perkin while referring to Edward, the man who may or may not have been his father, and his excesses: 'If it was dead, he would eat it--if it was alive, he would f*ck it!'

How do we end up where we are?
Right at this moment
How did all of our past choices bring us right here to this moment?
Are you where you want to be?
Or maybe not
But does that mean you aren't exactly where
You are supposed to be?
How is that
When you see others
And the lives they live
Their lives seem so much grander than yours?
Are they really
Or is that just what YOU see?
How do know that they have everything?
So they have a bigger house than you
And maybe they have more things than you do
But… does that mean they are happy?
But how do you know for sure?
You assume that because they have 'more'
That their lives are somehow better, happier … than yours
You think that because they have more that means you have less
But do you really?
Is it really a life that has been lived … less?
How can that be?
Why do material things scream to us
I HAVE A BETTER LIFE than you
It really doesn't make sense to assume such things
Yet, on some level … I think we all do it
We think that those people … well, they must have it all
New things
Big houses
But is that really true?
I can't say one way or the other
For me
I think deep down
We are all searching for something we don't have
Because we don't know what 'it' will bring to our lives
Even if we have money
Maybe we are looking for something that is free
Belonging somewhere
To someone
To be held
To just be…
For me
I long for the house on the beach with a wrap around porch
But once I have that, then what will I want?
What will I be envious of?
Will I be content?
Probably not … because contentment comes from within, but
I have come full circle, as I always do
Wondering about things
That the universe has already taken care of
The moment I asked for them
So instead of worrying
I think this time…I will just let go and see where I end up.

Antique Mother Of Pearl Palais Royal Greyhound Needle Case * C18
This exceptional French needlecase is one of the rare figural examples. It's carved in the form of a sleek crouching greyhound with a curling tail. The details are beautifully done and it measures 4" long by about 7/8" wide. The condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or other damage and it fits together snugly. He has a circular inset on his shoulder (when facing left), but I suspect this was done by the original carver. I can't think of any damage in this particular spot that someone could have been repairing and it was more likely to replace a flawed spot in the mother of pearl. The postage shown includes Registered shipping for...

They are in nice condition with no rust and they cut well. These are children's scissors and adult fingers do not fit in the bows. The condition of the case is excellent with no dents or damage and no loss of gilding. It measures 3 1/2" long, not including the ring and it closes securely. A scissors case in this style is shown on a ch...
Antique Chatelaine from Chatelaines Book * C1890
This unusual antique chatelaine is made of a gunmetal color oxidized metal and is complete with 5 chains and 4 attached tools. This piece is from the collection of Genevieve Cummins and is the actual chatelaine that was photographed on page 262 (plate 257) of the book she wrote with Nerylla Taunton, Chatelaines, Utility to Glorious Extravagance. She says it could have been used as a mourning chatelaine but this gunmetal finish was popular for all sorts of metal items in the 19th century. The waist plaques and tools have applied, raised floral scrollwork. In the center is an unusual pencil holder that has a metal rod holding the place of the...

There is something about muffin shaped pastries that I love. It must be their size! We eat with our eyes too, don't we?
Even if you have a recipe that goes into a big baking pan, most of a time you can turn it into a muffin version. That way they blend perfectly into a party buffet, and they do a great job at a picnic or as a take away snack.
Lately I have gone back into my old lazy habits. That is grabbing lunch at work, instead of making something ahead at home. While I was going through my recipes today, I ran into this one here that I haven't made in a long time. Nothing elaborated. In other words, exactly what I was looking for. Quick and easy! I made a little more, so I can take them to work tomorrow and eat them either cold or warm. Yum!
I can imagine how well this recipe can be combined with other ingredients as well. What about adding different kind of herbs? Maybe replace the tomatoes with different vegetables? Zucchini, maybe? Or Spinach? Maybe my beloved olives? And if you have 30 more minutes available, you can turn this recipe even more authentic by making your own ricotta cheese!
Give it a try with this basic recipe, and adjust it the way you like :)
- 12 slices of sandwich bread
- 200 g / 7 oz of ricotta cheese
- 200 g / 7 oz of cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- a few basil leaves to taste
- approx. 20 cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered)
- Optional: thyme, oregano, grated parmesan cheese)
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
- Grease the muffin pan with oil.
- Cut off the crust of the sandwich bread.
- Roll the slices with a rolling pin on a worktop as flat as possible.
- Place carefully each slice into the muffin pan.
- Bake on the lowest rack for about 7-8 min.
- Mix the ricotta, cream cheese and eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add additional herbs and/or grated parmesan cheese if desired.
- Take half of the basil leaves, chop and stir into the batter.
- Fill the bread baskets with the cream.
- Wash and pat dry the tomatoes. Place them on top of the cream. Press gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven (middle rack) for additional 15-20min.
- If the bread gets too dark, cover it up with aluminum foil.
- Take them out of the oven when done. Remove them from the muffin pan.
- Place the remaining basil leaves on top of the ricotta-tomato muffins.
- Serve lukewarm or cold.
- My muffins turned out a little smaller than usual, as I didn't use the large ('normal sized') sandwich bread. By using the large slices it will be easier to fill them with cream!

text: I am just curious if anyone has ever used Botox for pain management. I have an appointment with my pain management doctor in two weeks. I have had a ton of injuries in my life (I did 7 years of competative gymnastics, worked as a professional tumbler/acrobat, was a competative bodybuilder and powerlifter...all very hard on the joints!) I have had both of my ankles shattered, numerous reconstructive surgeries, blown discs, degenerative disc disease, osteo-arthritis and due to my job (hairstylist) and the repative work I do my neck is really torn up!I have constant headaches and my arms go numb. I've tried SO many things I can't even begin to tell you so I don't need input on other treatments cuz I'm gonna venture to say.....I've tried it already!! But I'm now going to try Botox in my neck and trap areas to relieve the pressure. It's a fairly new approach and I've only known one other person to try it but he had wonderful results. My doctor says it's a more advanced type than the one they use for cosmetic uses. Has anyone else ever tried it?

I won't date a pornstar, no matter what race.
Cause a woman that uses sex to earn money isn't the type of woman I wanna be with.
@abc3643 Porn stars do not have AIDS.
@es20490446e I realize that most do not but it does happen in which case their career is over.
Nonetheless, in the hypothetical question by @asker, the porn star had HIV, so I answered appropriated. Your comment about porn stars allegedly not having HIV/AIDS should be directed at @asker.
@abc3643 Normally they shut down the entire industry when a case takes place. On the other hand it seems that it happens from time to time.
Have an opinion?
HIV Asian pornstars need love too :P
If we have strong chemistry and bonding then I am sure I will :) Ok I'm weird and not normal but that's ok :D
With HIV, no. Let's ask my aunt about what she thinks... Aunt Joyce? Aunt Joyce? Ummm... she seems to be missing so let's ask her husband Uncle Ralph... Uncle Ralph? Uncle Ralph? Shit! OHhhhhhh, I forgot! They died... from AIDS.
I wouldn't date someone with HIV.
Asian pornstar yes. HIV, no.
I wouldn't date any pornstar or other kind of sex-worker.
No, I wouldn't, LOL.
What questions you can find here... 😛
Por starts do not have AIDS, or they would be immediately treated or fired.
Very random. Sure though. she's a pornstar ahaha
No. That's a random question
gross no way. 1) I don't want aids 2) she's fucked a million guys
You got me at Asian.
No I would not
If it's someone like Hitomi Tanaka, most definitely. I simply cannot pass up a chest like that.
I wouldn't date a pornstar.
Fraid not, Why do you ask?
I would never date any pornstar let alone one with HIV...
I wouldn't.. even if she didn't have HIV.
If she's got HIV then absolutely not.
Of course i would not.
I would rather hang my white ass from the oak tree with the black people in my family tree.
Depends on the porn they do
She got HIV? Fuck no
hell no.
The HIV breaks it for me, sorry sweetheart.

On October 1, 2006, Connecticut changed its law on living wills, health care directives, and appointments of a health care representative. The law is no longer based on merely relieving health care providers of legal liability for "pulling the plug." The new law emphasizes respect for the wishes of the patient.
A living will tells your family, your doctor and other health care providers what treatment you want if you are in a terminal condition. If you are in the final stages of an incurable medical condition, you may not want life-support treatments such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), artificial respiration, major surgery, blood transfusions, artificial hydration, kidney dialysis, or tube feeding. On the other hand, you may want food and fluids to be offered by mouth, medication to alleviate pain, favorite songs to be played, or spiritual books or famous poems read to you. You may want to make it clear that you want to die in your home or have family pictures near your bed or have your hair washed on a regular basis. Now the law encourages you to state your wishes.
The Connecticut General Assembly further enhanced your power to express your health care wishes by allowing you to give health care directives even if you are not in a terminal condition. Any person over the age of 18 can execute a document that contains directions as to any aspect of health care. If you cannot personally direct your physician as to your medical care, your physician and your family must follow the wishes stated in the document.
To assure that health care providers follow your wishes, though, it helps if you have appointed a health care representative. You appoint a health care representative by signing a document. Your representative must have enough assertiveness to overcome the tendency of some health care providers to do what is easiest for them instead of following your wishes. Choose someone you know who shares your views as to health care and will be at your side if you cannot make health care decisions for yourself. Many of our clients like to name more than one person as their health care representative and allow whoever is named and present to make health care decisions. Make sure the document appointing your health care representative gives your representative the right to review and receive your health care records. Otherwise, the health care privacy laws may bar your representative from receiving the information the representative needs to make informed decisions.
Once you have signed these important documents, where do you keep them? It will do no good if the documents are stored away in your safe deposit box. Give copies to your health care representative and let him/her know where the originals are kept in your house. Carry a copy in your purse or brief case. Send copies to family members so they will all know what you want. If you travel a lot, consider registering your documents with the U.S. Living Will Registry (www.uslwr.com). The Registry allows health care providers anywhere in the world to read a pdf version of your documents.
In reviewing the latest court cases on end-of life decisions, what strikes me is how young most of the patients were at the time they became terminally ill. Terri Schiavo was only 27 when she collapsed in her home. She had an undiagnosed eating disorder (bulimia). She was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. If she had executed a living will, the 7-year legal battle between her husband and her parents might not have occurred.
A 1990 U.S. Supreme Court case involved Nancy Cruzan, a 26 year old who lost control of her car in Jasper County, Missouri. Her car rolled over into a ditch and she suffered permanent brain damage. After 4 years in a persistent vegetative state, her parents sought removal of her feeding tube. But it took 3 years and numerous appeals to establish her right to have her feeding tube removed.
The lesson of these cases is not to wait for the end of life to complete these important documents. You can save yourself and your family unnecessary misery by clarifying your health care wishes. Let us help you prepare your living will, health care directive, and appointment of health care representative to assure they comply with the new law.

Hip Hop mega-artist Eminem sued New Zealand's conservative National Party this month for copyright infringement. The suit alleges that the soundtrack, used in a 2014 National Party TV ad, was copied from Eminem's iconic Lose Yourself and breached the copyright of Eight Mile Style, Eminem's publisher.
The National Party said it licensed the rights to the soundtrack, titled Eminem Esque, from the Australian-based music library Beatbox Music.
Garry Williams, the lawyer for the plaintiff told the court that Lose Yourself is the 'jewel in the crown of Eminem's music catalog' – the licensing of which is tightly controlled. 'They would never allow the use of a re-recording of the musical work unless that re-recording involved the participation of the original artist.' [Skynews, May 1, 2017]
He said the Detroit rapper's hit was "iconic," having won an Academy Award, two Grammys, and critical acclaim and that meant rights to the work were "enormously valuable" and were strictly controlled by the publisher, which had rarely licensed them for advertising purposes. [ABS CBN News, May 1, 2017]
Lose Yourself has indeed been licensed in the past. It was used to great effect in a Super Bowl ad in 2011. The ad, Imported from Detroit for Chrysler, was built around the guitar riff to the song. In this case, Lose Yourself was legally licensed (paid for) and used with the artist's permission. Eminem appeared in the ad giving a boost to his hometown of Detroit. The success of the Imported from Detroit campaign more than likely contributed to Lose Yourself becoming "the jewel in the crown of Eminem's music catalog".
Eminem Esque, the song the National Party licensed, has the same urgent, pulsing beat of Eminem's song.
Here is the ad spot.
While there is little doubt that the soundalike Eminem Esque emulates the main riff of Lose Yourself, they are not identical.
Lose Yourself makes use of an insistent eighth note guitar riff which alternates between the pitch A for one measure and then moves to B-flat for one measure. The real sonic power of the riff is the guitar which, performed with some very fine musicianship, creates high interest using different accents applied to notes in the riff.
Eminem-esque's version of the guitar line is clearly different (and in no way as interestingly performed as in the Eminem track). It incorporates notes not found in Lose Yourself. It's true; the guitar is featured prominently in the mix just as in Lose Yourself. Eminem Esque is also in the same key as Lose Yourself but it adds sustained synthesizer strings and harmonies that are not found in the Eminem recording.
Identical? The answer is no. I'm sure this is what the creators of Eminem Esque thought as well. They had made enough change in their soundalike that, though they were drawing on Lose Yourself, they had created enough difference that their track would be free from a copyright infringement claim.
What makes things difficult is that the infringement in question centers around a guitar riff. There is no real melody here. Most infringement cases compare the vocal line – the song's melody – one to another.
The precedent for Eminem's claim of infringement is the 2015 case against Blurred Lines brought by the children of Marvin Gaye, who sued for copyright infringement claiming Blurred Lines copied Gaye's hit Got to Give it Up.
"Rather than hinging on a particular set of notes [melody], Blurred Lines was found in violation of copyright based purely on the atmospheric similarity to Gaye's Got to Give it Up — a "vibe" that's a result of production choices and the rhythm pattern." [ Business Insider, Sept 16 2016]
This verdict has been appealed. It has also been criticized by many composers, musicians, and songwriters. In the summer of 2016 more than 200 music creators signed a legal brief supporting Pharrell Williams' appeal of the $5.3-million judgment handed down against him and Robin Thicke in 2015.
The brief states:
"Quite clearly, the verdict in this case, if based upon the music at all, was based upon the jury's perception that the overall 'feel' or 'groove' of the two works is similar, as songs of a particular genre often are. In essence, the Appellants have been found liable for the infringement of an idea, or a series of ideas, and not for the tangible expression of those ideas, which is antithetical to Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act.
"Such a result, if allowed to stand, is very dangerous to the music community, is certain to stifle future creativity, and ultimately does a disservice to past songwriters as well," the brief states. [Los Angeles Times August 31, 2016]
It could be that what constitutes copyright infringement is changing. If the Blurred Lines decision is the new precedent, then it's not only a melody line that's copyrighted it's a "feel."
Eminem's lawyer's argument against the use of Eminem Esque is that the song taps into the collective associations and cultural connections that listeners' have with Lose Yourself. It appropriates a listener's cultural memory of a hit song, and that memory has a huge value. This is no longer about comparing musical notes on a page. It is about claiming infringement upon a musical work's worth to the zeitgeist.
If using a similar "groove" or "feel" or "vibe" or 2 note, half step riff can be claimed as legal grounds to sue for infringement; we are into a whole new era of copyright jurisprudence.
Listen to this. The linked page provides an A/B comparison of the 1970s band Chicago's 25 of 6 to 4 with Led Zeppelin's Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You. Same riff, same key, same notes, basically the same rhythm. Both of these songs have gone on to be Classic Rock standards.
As of this writing, there's been no verdict in the case against the usage of Eminem Esque. The appeal of the Blurred Lines decision has also not been settled. Victories in these two cases would solidify a new precedent in copyright law.
Update: Eminem wins damages in New Zealand copyright case

Why don't Mrs.Peter and Mrs.Hale reveal the evidence they discover?Trifles by Susan Glaspell
- print Print
- list Cite
The conclusion of Susan Glaspell's one-act play with Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter's decision to withhold the evidence of the dead canary is comparable to the decision of Sheriff Heck Tate to record the death of Bob Ewell as that of a man falling upon his own knife. For, in both cases, it is "a sin to kill a mockingbird." The harm has already been done, and the perpetrator of the evil is also apprehended; and, the victims of the injustice have long served their masters in subservience and melancholy and isolation.
With dramatic irony Lewis remarks while in the kitchen,''Well, women are used to worrying over trifles.'' For, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters do exactly the opposite. They hide the trifle of the dead canary whereas the men would use it as evidence against Mrs. Wright. Perceiving the singing bird as the last aesthetic the poor woman had left in her dismal, isolated life, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters regard more than the obvious details in concluding that Mrs. Wright, like Boo Radley, had suffered enough in her lifetime already and should not be held for murder.
