Allez France, allez Lawro et allez la musique
It's finally here. The moment dreaded by sports fans has arrived. After weeks of thrilling action, wonderful colour and a sense that this was the higher side of mankind on show… the hurling championship is down to its final three games.
The World Cup has ended, too, after a very entertaining tournament. Off the Ball (Newstalk, Mon-Fri 7pm, Sat 1pm, Sun noon) began their review with the groovy sounds of French musical legend Serge Gainsbourg and then – I think I'm right on this one – Parisian rap star MC Solaar: a suitably cross-cultural nod to the multi-racial team who won the cup.
According to ex-Ireland great Mark Lawrenson, France deserved victory, dodgy penalty or not, and Didier Deschamps had "changed the team completely" by including Olivier Giroud. The Chelsea man may be castigated as a (relative) donkey but, according to Lawro, was "the glue that held the side together", offering contrast and variety up front.
Deschamps, despite unparalleled success as a player and coach, seems for some reason to be begrudged due credit by many. Lawrenson didn't, and on that theme – he deserves more credit himself. His chat with Joe Molloy was informative and told me things that hadn't occurred to me. And Lawro's a likeable old geezer; a little pantomime-y sometimes, but so what?
Sports analysis on radio can often be crushingly dull, with self-important clones spouting the same waffle. Lawrenson has a bit of personality, he's chatty and inconsistent and bitchy and funny. In short, fun to listen to.
So what if we don't always agree with him? We can all watch the games and make our own minds up. What we need broadcasters to provide is some entertainment.
It was nice, also, to hear on Team 33 (Newstalk, Wed midnight, Fri 11pm) – Off the Ball's soccer-only spin-off – that "narratives (in sports media) are bullshit". We love to put a structure on events, give them shape, make them seem more orderly than they really were; whereas in sport, even more than anywhere else, randomness and chaos generally rule.
Enthralling as that France-Croatia face-off was, I was even more gripped by The Ryan Tubridy Show (Radio 1, Mon-Fri 9am) interview with Steve Lillywhite. The Englishman has, since the 1980s, produced records for so many huge acts that it'd fill the rest of this column to list them all. In Ireland, he's probably most famous for his work down the years with U2.
And how fascinating it was to hear the laid-back Lillywhite tell stand-in host Dave Fanning about that work, especially his creative toing and froing with that nonpareil genius of popular music, Brian Eno. He recalled: "Brian's job was to destroy U2 – by doing that, you then replace it with something else that will become the next U2."
So Eno would basically strip out whatever sonic elements had given the latest iteration of the band its sound. Then Lillywhite's job was to sort of wrestle it back to the centre, finding somewhere that Eno's bolts-from-the-blue ideas might fit in the overall U2 aesthetic.
There were lots of charming and funny stories, too, about a raft of stars. But personally, I could listen to musical experts giving insights into their craft all day long.

Marian Finucane (Radio 1, Sat-Sun 11am) also had a humdinger of an interview: Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist and academic described as "the most influential intellectual in the world today". Whether you agree with Peterson or not, he's an important voice of dissent against the dismal identity politics which increasingly shape public discourse. This was sometimes illuminating, sometimes tetchy, never less than interesting.

Slices of fresh papaya served with thinly sliced prosciutto and fresh squeezed lime.
- 1 firm but ripe papaya
- Salt
- 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1/2 lime, cut and sliced into a few wedges
Using a vegetable peeler, peel away the outer skin of the papaya. Cut the papaya in half. Using a metal spoon, scoop out and discard the seeds. (The seeds are edible, by the way. They taste peppery, like nasturtium flowers, and can be used in salads.)
Slice the the papaya halves into wedges lengthwise. Arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with a little salt.
Either wrap the wedges with prosciutto, or roll up thin sheets of prosciutto and place them between the papaya wedges. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the papaya and prosciutto.
If you would like to serve the papaya as an appetizer, cut the papaya into 1-inch pieces, sprinkle on some lime juice, wrap each piece with some prosciutto, and secure with a toothpick.

It features drink, drugs, guns, girls in bikinis and a lot of swearing...
A provocative new trailer for Spring Breakers has been released – featuring drink, drugs, guns, girls in bikinis, James Franco and plenty of swearing. Scroll down and click 'play' to watch it.
The R-rated comedy film stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and Justin Bieber's ex Selena Gomez as a posse of college students who rob a restaurant to pay for their holiday to Florida. While partying in the sunshine state, they get busted for drugs and become embroiled with a dodgy dealer played by Franco.
Rapper Gucci Mane has a supporting role and contributes to the soundtrack, which also features new music from Skrillex, who teamed up with composer Cliff Martinez (Drive, Contagion) to score the movie.
Spring Breakers was written and directed by enfant terrible filmmaker Harmony Korine, who made his name scripting 1995's Kids, a sexually explicit indie flick starring Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson.
After premiering at the Venice Film Festival last September, Spring Breakers became a hot topic online thanks to its combination of adult themes and Disney stars like Gomez and Hudgens. The film opens in cinemas on April 5.

What is driving the continued release of reserves?
Posted at 1:00 AM ET
Jessica Leong, Lead Casualty Specialty Actuary
Seventy percent of the improvement for accident year 2012 can be attributed to two lines: homeowners and private passenger auto.
In the charts below, the graphs for both of these lines do not exhibit a clear cycle as do graphs for many liability lines. Because the pattern lacks a clear trend, it is not possible to say that accident year 2013 will also show reserve releases in 2014.
We speculate that property catastrophe issues may be behind the release of reserves for the homeowners line for accident year 2012. Hurricane Sandy made U.S. landfall on October 29 of that year, so there was still a lot of uncertainty on the ultimate cost at year-end.

As nowadays evil people use
press to disseminate false study and to distort the moral, consider it
to be your obligation to use the same media. Those use them with a
mischievous purpose, in order to incite, but you use them properly in
order to build ... and to defend faith ... with fortitude.
Holy Father Leo XIII.
Letter to the Archbishop from Lima and to Bishops from Peru, 1894.
Influence of journalists is
greater than that of priests or scholars. They ruin the whole worlds of
thoughts and build up new ones... The press ... can bring up saints, as
well as criminals; it can successfully defend religion and morality,
but it cal also disparage and decrease in value the most sacred deals.
Bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Hryhoriy Khomyshyn.
Message to the clergy of the Eparchy of Stanislav
"The press as a very important weapon of the present", 1913.
Following the long period of prevalence and propagation of the atheistic viewpoint, the religious and informational programs of Voskresinnya Radio went on the air in 1989. The editorial office was created under blessing of the Synod of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and formed in the capital of Belgium, Brussels, within the structure of the Сatholik Radio and Television Network. The first radio program was broadcasted on the 19th of November. The editorial office was managed by Greek Catholic priest Fr. Andriy Onuferko.
No doubt, Voskresinnya Radio evoked a great interest in the society, as the fact itself of these radio programs broadcasted strengthened hope in people's hearts and served as an evidence of the beginning of a new era, and a new life.
1990 – Sunday programs of Voskresinnya Radio were broadcasted from the radio station in Monte Carlo, and since the 27th of October 1991 the Lviv Radio Network has been broadcasting the Sunday programs which were still prepared in Brussels.
For a long time Voskresinnya Radio programs had been the only source of the Christian word on Ukrainian air. With time the editorial office in Lviv has been formed, and since May 1992 it has been preparing programs independently. Since early July programs have been broadcasted daily. Fr. Mykhaylo Dymyd takes over the management of the Lviv editorial office.
1993. From the 5th of April daily religious and culturological programs of Voskresinnya Radio have been broadcasted by the Radio Ukraine World Service, as well as the Third Program of Ukrainian Radio. On 10th of July the presentation of Voskresinnya Radio was held in the Lviv Opera House.
1994. Voskresinnya Radio offered an initiative to create an Agency of Religious Information (ARI). The newsletter is distributed not only within Ukraine, but also finds its readers in many countries across the world. The ARI became an authoritative source of religious information for many newspapers both in Ukraine and abroad. The authoritative information agencies like the Catholic News Service (CNS) and APIC use the news of Voskresinnya Radio. In Ukraine the Agency of Religious Information of Voskresinnya Radio has been the only structure dealing with collection, processing and dissemination of news about all denominations acting in Ukraine (the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Autonomous Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and Protestant Churches). A huge volume of materials collected for all these years allowed the editors to conduct analytical researches of the Churches' development, to forecast and comment the church events.
1995 – The 1000th radio transmission was broadcasted on the 29th of March. Programs consisted of three parts, including a block of religious news, a topical article, and a thematic cycle on any issue related to history of the Church, spiritual life of a Christian, relationship of the Church and science, and many other issues. In its work Voskresinnya Radio follows the principles of beyond-denominational character and ecumenism.
1996 – On the 10th of June the First Channel of the National Radio commenced broadcasting of special news of Voskresinnya Radio.
Extension of both listeners and readers audience raised the degree of responsibility of Voskresinnya Radio team in terms of satisfaction of Ukrainian community spiritual needs. There appears a need in conducting ecumenical dialogues and direct provision of possibilities to speak for representatives of different denominations. So, in addition to preaching the Gospel, the team of Voskresinnya Radio promotes better understanding between different denominations in Ukraine based on truth and love. Various feedback is an evidence of this, in particular, editor-in-chief of Narodna Hazeta, writer Anatoliy Shevchenko wrote: "At the time when we, Ukrainians, now and in other usually dramatic times lack and lacked unity and understanding, Voskresinnya Radio aims its activity at spiritual unification of their audience – ecumenical, national, and spiritual. Whereas this is a Christian viewpoint that promotes unification, which determines future for the state, and the nation, hopefully, finally happy and free, full of its own dignity."
Journalists of Voskresinnya Radio feel the importance of both content and form of material presentation. Broadcasts comprise all types of journalistic genres: information and polemic notes, comments, reviews of letters, press reviews, reporting, interviews, reports from conferences, articles, and discussions. Significant attention is paid to purity of the Ukrainian language and peculiarities of the radio speech. "On our air, which is now steadily russified by numerous commercial radio stations, programs of Voskresinnya Radio are distinguished with not only a perfect Ukrainian language, but also a passion for the fate of national culture, literature, music, and more widely – national future with its speech, culture, history, and of course, the Church," – comment on programs by Serhiy Hrechanyuk, writer, editor-in-chief of journals Dyvoslovo and The Lesson of Ukrainian. Vitaliy Rozstalnyy, national artist of Ukraine, thinks: "A spoken word sounds on air for the time it is pronounced, but for this moment it manages to reach thousands and thousands of people, radio audience, and evoke in their consciousness not only thoughts, but also intonations, those that are unforgettable. In their best programs, presenters and participants of Voskresinnya Radio programs manage to find such a word."
1997 began with a change of leadership. Father Mykhaylo Dymyd who was appointed Rector of the Lviv Theological Academy was succeeded as Director of Voskresinnya Radio by Myroslav Pavlyuk, a journalist, who has been working in the editorial team for six years already, having broadcasted over 1000 radio programs as an editor and presenter.
The same year the editorial office of Voskresinnya Radio moved into the new premises in Ozarkevycha Street, ceremonially sanctified by Bishop Auxiliary to the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) Lubomyr Huzar on the 28th of August.
The correspondent's unit was launched hastily in Kyiv, and the jubilee 2000th transmission of Voskresinnya Radio was broadcasted as soon as the 30th of October.
The editorial office was preparing for the responsible period of legal and staffing reorganization. As before, programs were broadcasted daily.
1999. On the 14th of October, the festival of the Protection of the Holy Virgin, the newsletter of the Archeparchy of Lviv of the UGCC Meta was brought back to life at the base of the editorial office of Voskresinnya Radio. Till 2003 radio journalists had been working on Meta publications on their own, free of charge. These issues of the newspaper are available on our website.
1999 – the editorial office of Voskresinnya Radio celebrated their jubilee – the 10th anniversary from the establishment date.
Since 1 June 2000 Voskresinnya Radio has changed a format of broadcasting with programs on air three times a day on waves of the All-Ukrainian network Dovira-Niko-FM. The jubilee 3000th transmission of Voskresinnya Radio was broadcasted on the 23rd of March 2001.
Later the network Dovira-Niko-FM split into two parts, and Voskresinnya Radio remained with Dovira, having joined to the transmission unit of Svoboda Radio.
During a change in the management of the National Radio Company of Ukraine in 2001 the Church had lost for some time air on UR-1. Programs continued to be broadcasted, apart from Dovira network, also by the Lviv Oblast Radio and a couple of local radio stations (the Sumy Oblast Radio, Dzvony Radio in Ivano-Frankivsk, and Caritas-Edehem Radio in Chervonohrad).
However since December 2002 Voskresinnya Radio has been again on air of the First Channel of National Radio. The daily audience varies from two to four millions of listeners (according to the data of the First Channel of National Radio).
Since the 1st of August 2002 the internet version of Voskresinnya Radio programs has been functioning, available at our website (www.rr.lviv.ua). Wave files with radio programs in digital versions mp3 and ogg are updated daily on the website of Voskresinnya Radio. This provides a possibility to listen to them for users of various computer formats, and practically in any place of the world. One of the advantages of the radio program's digital version is a possibility to listen to a program both on the day of broadcasting, and for the last few weeks. At present access to radio programs for almost a month is available. In addition, a full program of transmissions is placed, stored in the website archives for a year.
Apart from direct Voskresinnya Radio programs broadcasted on All-Ukrainian air, the website also makes available the following new audio rubrics: since November 2003 a new chapter has been acting – "Events. Facts. Comments", where the most recent interviews, reports, and other audio materials are placed. Since December 2003 a new rubric "Musical premieres" has been working, where text materials, audio presentations and digital audio versions of novelties in spiritual music are placed.
The website also contains the archives of the ARI in a PDF format, i.e. a reader can view the newsletter of the Agency of Religious Information in a ready, layout view with colour illustrations. (Printing version of the ARI is black and white).
News on life of religious communities, press releases, articles, and photo illustrations are placed as they arrive.
The new rubric "Photo Report" offers series of thematic photo illustrations about the course of important events in life of the Church and the society. This chapter provides an opportunity to efficiently submit photo information, straight after the event.
In June 2004 a new rubric was launched on the website – "Radio Visiting…" with detailed photo stories about thematic trips of Voskresinnya Radio journalists.
The website also contains the rubric "Art Photo Gallery". It offers reproductions of artists' works, working in sacral fine and applied arts.
The website of Voskresinnya Radio develops and becomes more accessible and more efficient – this is one of the priority tasks.
Today Voskresinnya Radio presents a Christian radio voice among many and retains the top rank what concerns topics of various radio materials. Programs are intended for listeners of different age and social groups, representatives of different denominations and community groups. These are reports and interviews about outstanding events in Ukrainian Churches, radio sermons by priests and speeches by bishops of different denominations, descriptions about Byzantine and Latin rites, radio versions of modern theological works, acquaintance with the liturgical year, stories about iconographic art, sacral architecture, and church singing and music. Among editorial works of Voskresinnya Radio are also recitations of popular and classical Christian literature, precepts, stories and children's tales by Ukrainian and foreign Christian authors with world-known names.
The editors of Voskresinnya Radio gave sound life to highly artistic literary works, including book "Human Son" by Russian Orthodox priest Oleksandr Men, novel "Nicodimus' Letters" by Polish writer Iwan Dobraczinski, thoughts "Believing in Sole God" by theologist and scholar, of blessed memory Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church His Beatitude Myroslav Ivan Lyubachivsky, book of interviews with John Paul II "Crossing the Hope Threshold" by journalist Vittorio Messori, and others.
Journalists and authors of Voskresinnya Radio in their programs conduct various surveys and researches, for instance, a historical survey entitled "Palestine in time of Jesus Christ", testimony of faith of repressed priests of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, materials about life and activities of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, and articles on religious motives in creative works of Ukrainian writers and poets, etc.
Literary programs also yield large feedback from the audience. The programs integrally comprise poems by Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Franko, Lesya Ukrayinka, Yevhen Malanyuk, Todos Osmachka, and our contemporaries-poets. Artistic works by Ukrainian and foreign writers are concordant with commandments of Christian moral, they convey the idea of a search for and consolidation in the Truth, depict a spiritual world of an individual, though full of controversies but on his/her way to the Church.
Journalists of Voskresinnya Radio take active part in life of the Ukrainian mass media, the evidence of this being numerous awards for participation in various competitions and events:

Supportive communities for shared challenges.
All of us experience challenges in our adult lives. Group therapy can be a powerful tool for working through experiences and emotions together.
The Brookline Center offers dozens of psychotherapeutic and process groups where adults can address issues such as improving relationships and self-image or changing limiting patterns. Groups provide a safe place for adults to share common struggles, find support, and move forward with new skills and ways of thinking.
We offer both mixed-gender and single-gender groups tailored to specific issues or stages of life. The Center offers a range of discussion-based processing groups. Some of our groups also incorporate approaches such as mindfulness, creative arts, or supportive activities.
Groups address topics such as:
- Building and maintaining healthy relationships
- Managing depression, anxiety, and other stressors
- Navigating work and life transitions in early adulthood
- Handling late-life transitions, including retirement and loss
- Moving forward after a personal or mental health setback
- Changing addictive or limiting habits and self-perceptions
- Releasing stress and cultivating a healthier mindset
The Center's adult groups are open to anyone who lives in Brookline or the Greater Boston area. We offer groups with morning, afternoon, and evening times on weekdays. All of the groups listed below are ongoing, and many accept new members year-round. Additional groups (e.g. grief and loss, parenting, creative arts, etc.) are offered intermittently.

LeBron's Private Collection
LeBron's I PROMISE band arsenal is both large and diverse, just like his shoe collection. We all know LeBron's creativity influences the design of his signature shoe line, and his creativity also influences the design of his I PROMISE bands. While LeBron tears through the NBA Playoffs, his wrists are decked with the #1 assets in his game day attire…his On-Court Collection I PROMISE Bands. The On-Court Collection consists of three bands, which he wears during every game. Each band incorporates the Cavs' team colors of wine, gold, and navy, and they match the combinations in which they appear on the team's set of jerseys. The bands included are the Lead the Charge I PROMISE Band (wine band with gold lettering), the Homecourt I PROMISE Band (gold band with wine lettering), and the Fanatic I PROMISE Band (navy band with wine lettering).
The On-Court Collection is dedicated to Northeast Ohio Cavs fans, LeBron and his teammates as they strive for greatness in the playoffs. But those aren't the only bands LeBron dawns. You can see him wearing a different band close to every day from his Limited Edition Collection, which go up on sale here on LeBronJames.com during different periods of time. High on his list is the Foundation I PROMISE Band (which is currently for sale). LeBron may be dark on social media, but his message and mission is clear to the state of Ohio and all his fans across the globe that he intends on keeping his PROMISE and bringing a championship to Northeast Ohio…he looks down at his wrists every morning to remind him of that.
Check out the store to see what limited edition bands are available from LeBron's Private Collection here.

Cleveland Police is seeking the views of diverse communities across Hartlepool on how best to involve local people in policing through the force's Independent Advisory Groups (IAGs).
IAGs are a national initiative, which were introduced following the report into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in London, where the Metropolitan Police Service was criticised for losing contact with communities, particularly black communities.
The groups aim to be a reflection of local people, including a wide range of minority groups that are sometimes described as "harder to hear", and act as critical friends in providing advice to the police.
The Strategic IAG (SIAG) in Cleveland has been in place for some time but is looking for fresh ideas as to how best to link Cleveland Police in with the needs and views of local communities from all areas of Cleveland.
In view of this, a questionnaire has been put together asking for suggestions as to both how meetings are conducted, and what topics should be on the future agenda. The results of this questionnaire will be used to develop the agenda for a communities conference to be hosted later in the year by the Police and Crime Commissioner, Barry Coppinger.
Mr Coppinger said: "Groups like the SIAG are crucial in maintaining the link between the police and community, and ensuring that the police exists to both protect and serve the local community."

Renowned horror author Stephen King finds himself after 36 years of writing hungry for power. He has decided to build an empire, online. How? By photographing anything that has something to do with good old Steve or anything from his books. Like Stephen's Record Shop, or King's Cross. Just take a picture and send it to Steve, and his empire will grow.
The reward? Well, Stephen King watching your picture off course, and maybe you're one of the lucky bastards that wins a signed copy of one of his books. But then your picture must be quite awesome.
I'm competing in this contest as well, just have to make the picture. When I send it in I'll put it online.

Russell Wilson's new deal with Alaska Airlines includes perks, but they're not all for him.
Anyone flying from Seattle on Alaska Airlines who wears a Wilson jersey will get priority boarding, the company has announced, according to king5.com. An airline spokesman said the company is ready for a huge response in support of Wilson, who was named official spokesman of the airline on Tuesday. The promotion runs until the end of the football season.
The Seahawks (12-2) are considered the best team in the NFL this season behind Wilson and a top-tier defense. Wilson, in just his second year as a pro, has gone 23-7 in the NFL, making him the winningest quarterback through a first two years in pro football history.
NFL jerseys can be pricey, but snagging one could be a coup for those needing to fly Alaska Airlines through January.

View SCYYRA Racing Team Selection Matrix
The Southern California Youth Yacht Racing Association sponsors a program to recognize advanced junior sailors from Southern California who have shown tremendous dedication and accomplishment in youth sailing. Each year a select number of the top junior sailors from San Diego to Santa Barbara are chosen to become members of the annual SCYYRA Racing Team and invited to participate in advanced sailing clinics and otherwise be recognized. Selection of each year's team will be based on regatta results between September 1st and August 31st, as well as age, ability, sportsmanship and geographic location.
All Southern California sailors that have placed well in Local, Regional, National and International regattas are encouraged to complete an application for consideration onto the SCYYRA Racing Team. The Selection Matrix is used to help select the elite team of sailors. The most competitive regattas that are sailed throughout the year are those that should be included on the application, as only the Top 5 regattas are considered when totaling points.

DnA's Legion Lost and the Return of the Legion of Super-Heroes – Chaos McKenzie
The Legion of Super-Heroes can be a hard sell, there is so much nostalgia tied into their very existence that it becomes hard to breakaway from the original stories, and you end up getting reboot after reboot that tries to tell the same stories from different perspectives as we inch ever closer to the future. Of course the die-hards will fondly remember the original Legion, currently being teased for yet another comeback. Paul Levitz wrote some epic stories that will always sit well with fans, but for me Mark Waid's much bemoaned revamp and writing team DnA's take on the Legion are seminal, iconic runs. In particular with the recent announcement that DC will be reprinting all of DnA's run with the Legion, and I'm here to get folks excited as these stories are some of the most well remembered tales of the Legion, except for the fact that just about everyone remembers them different.
First Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning were an incredible writing team that managed to leave impressive marks on cosmic stories for both Marvel and DC. I have actively stopped paying attention to creator's private lives, but I do know these guys don't write together anymore and only Dan Abnett still seems to be working with old spandex set. I have no clue what happened between them, but I do regret it, because they really are responsible for some of the best cosmic tales EVER.
When Abnett and Lanning came to the Legion, the title was floundering, the loss of the key principal of Superboy from the team's origins grated with everyone and there was a lot of blowback on the new names and new origins for one of the biggest super teams in history. Some enjoyed the new titles, Legion and Legionarres had a fun quality to them but they were heavily held back by the still gestating reactions to all of the old stuff done completely new. When DnA came to the Legion they came ready for space faring war, and it was a wonderful show. First they ignored all the backlash from the new names and origins and they went right on the ofensive to make the new spins on all of these familiar characters seem right and proper. For a brief time there was very little arguing between Lighting Lad or Livewire, the new tags suddenly gained an authority that would carry them to the end of this particular version in the many versions of Legion lore.
It all starts with Legion Lost, where they began bringing hardedge sci-fi to characters that always skirted the edge of being really edgy. They didn't twist anything too far to be unrecognizable, but they managed to give a cold, dark feel of space to each of their stories. And in the end they were even rewarded for all their efforts as they were able to restore Superboy to the timeline (Con El at the time).
Legion Lost is drawn by Olivier Copiel, who still shows some incredible skills in these early days before his rise at Marvel. He brings a lot of kentic energy to all of his panels and you can really see his style focus in this tome, which is available now in both hardcover and tbp. And this is just the start, since DC has announced more collections from this era which are well worth a look. There are a lot of stories from the DnA days that fans remember but because of the recent restoration of the original team I often hear people talk about them with the traditional names and then get frustrated because they can't find the stories in the bins. There is a real trove of hard sci-fi goodies on their way, and I couldn't be more excited. The next volume is expected in August.

10 Tips to Enhance Your Elders' Holidays
1. Listen and understand when they want to talk, even if the talk is negative. They are likely mourning many losses. Don't imply they are whining or that they should snap out of it. They can't. Your empathy is vital here. Try to put yourself into their place.
2. Remind them how important they are as a part of your own celebration and that of the entire family. Be especially careful not to act like what you do for them is a duty. This can be tough, as your tired body language can show through. However, again, put yourself in their place. They may feel useless and burdensome. Remind them they are loved.
3. Holiday cards often bring bad news, and diminish in quantity. Often cards bring news of illness or death, and they may be very aware of the people they don't hear from. So, help them write their own cards. They can use this connection with life-long friends.
4. Help them see that you are trying to simplify the holidays in order to bring back the real meaning of our celebrations. Let them know you are trying to ignore the hype that has increased over the years. Remind them that they taught you that it's people who count, and thank them for that.
5. Check with your parents' spiritual home. Visitors, can visit your parent or parents at home or in an assisted living community. These people undergo considerable training that provides them with tools to listen compassionately and creatively. This can go a long way toward helping with depression over the holidays.
6. Decorate their home or room in stages, presenting cherished ornaments for Christmas or a menorah for Chanukah at intervals so there is something to look forward to. By the way, electric menorahs are best. Check with their rabbi for help.
7. Bring traditional baked goods or treats regularly for your elders and their friends to share.
8. Call your elders' friends and see if they can come to a party.
9. Make their dinner table special. Whether your parents are at home or in assisted living, try to make the table festive with some appropriate colors and themes.
10. Spend time with them. This is the most important thing you can do. Look at holiday photos or videos with them and leave them photos in a handy place so they can walk down memory lane when they are alone. Play music. Listen to them reminisce. Your time is precious to you. You likely have a spouse, children and others who need you. However, your time is the most valuable gift you can give your elders during this holiday. Do what you can without stressing yourself beyond your limits. Your being somewhat relaxed is also important to your elders. Remember that you won't reach perfection and you won't please everyone all of the time. Your best efforts will be good enough.

Optar Illumina Super-16 Lenses
@2016 Jorge Diaz-Amador, all rights reseved
Updated 19 November 2016.
NOTE: CinemaTechnic is now offering service for the Optar Illumina S16 lenses. We have found many instances where these lenses are found to have no lubrication on the focus threads. This can cause accelerated wear, galling and eventual seizure.
We have developed an efficient new procedure that allows for cleaning an re-lubrication of the focus section, and check and calibration of back focus, all in only 2 hours of labor.
If you are interested in having your Illumina lenses serviced, please get in touch via email:
IMPORTANT: I do NOT sell these lenses on eBay. I've been made aware that someone is stealing the text from this page and cutting and pasting it into his eBay listing. I have nothing to do with this person and question his integrity since he is violating eBay policing and violating copyright laws as well. I would caution you against purchasing lenses from such a person.
The full set: 8mm, 9.5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 50mm
The Optar Illumina 50mm T1.3, shown in Bayonet mount (covers 35mm)
The Super-16 Optar Illuminas:
Illumina lenses were designed specifically for the Super 16mm format. All the lenses in the set, even the 8mm cover the full Super-16 aperture. The 8mm Optar in unique in being the fastest lens available in this focal length at T1.3.
These lenses represent one of the best values in Super-16mm optics, even when compared with used lenses. With the cost-conscious nature of Super 16mm / 2k Digital Cinema production being what it is, the cost of some of the equivalent lenses from other manufactures is exorbitant. The cost of a new set of five Zeiss Super Speed Mk. III Super-16mm lenses (no 8mm) is $28,700 (2005 pricing).
All six lenses have focus and iris gears and 80mm fronts for compatibility with ARRI accessories. All the lenses have large clearly marked focus markings that can be read from either side of the lens. All the lenses are available in ARRI Bayonet or PL mounts. Should you wish to switch mounts on your Optar lenses, from Bayonet to PL for example, we can quickly exchange the lens mounts for you.
The mechanical design of these lenses is traditional. They have an all-brass construction, using a threaded focus drive. The focus section uses a combination of multi-start trapezoidal threads and single start 60º threads.
If you find an Illumina S16 lens with very heavy or uneven torque when turning the focus ring, the cause is most likely a lack of lubrication of the focus threads. Please see the note above about Illumina Lens Service.
Optical Performance and Color Rendition
I have compared the optical quality of the Illumina lenses against other Super-16mm prime lenses. Here I will compare them to the industry standard Zeiss Super Speed T1.3 (High Speed – HS) Super 16 primes
In terms of image resolution, I have not been able to conduct a carefully controlled test. My general impression is that the Illuminas are "high resolution, medium contrast" lenses (lower MTF), and the Zeiss HS are "high resolution, high contrast" lenses (higher MTF). Both lenses can probably out-resolve available film stock or digital sensors.
The Illuminas have slightly less contrast and more flare than the Zeiss HS lenses. This is due to the Superb Zeiss T* multi-coating, and Zeiss' anti-reflex control (internal lens surfaces are "maximum black" reflecting no light.
The Illumina lenses have more flare and more focus shift when stopping down than the Zeiss HS S16 primes. This gives more of a "vintage look". Keep in mind that we are talking subtleties here.
My advice for best results when shooting with the Illumina S16 lenses: stop down to the T-stop you will be using for the shot first, then adjust focus.
The best image sharpness from the Illuminas will, in general, be found at T2.8 to T4.0.
Illumina lenses have have a slightly "warmer" color rendition than Zeiss lenses. I owned the 8mm T1.3 Illumina and have successfully intercut between it and Zeiss Super Speed primes or Angenieux HR Zooms on many projects without any noticable changes in color, beyond subtle shifts that are easily compensated in color correction.
As a rough guide, the Illumina color rendition is closer to Angenieux than to Zeiss.

The dictatorship of the proletariat, i.e., the organization of the vanguard of the oppressed as the ruling class for the purpose of suppressing the oppressors, cannot result merely in an expansion of democracy. Simultaneously with an immense expansion of democracy, which for the first time becomes democracy for the poor, democracy for the people, and not democracy for the money-bags, the dictatorship of the proletariat imposes a series of restrictions on the freedom of the oppressors, the exploiters, the capitalists. However I wish neither to "make an omelette" nor to "break a few eggs"—I simply want chicken.

Business Intelligence, or BI, has been a deep subject for three decades, which is why it is possible to attain a master's degree in business intelligence. There is much to learn in such a well-developed and widely used technology. And yet, for all its time on the corporate scene, BI has had some deep shortcomings.
Some even argue that BI often has been a waste. The idea to free data and make it available to business users for analysis that could support decision making was sensible. However, "much of BI's potential was obscured by the cost and complexity of deploying it," argued Matt Asay on the site ReadWrite.
In addition to the systems being complex and expensive, including the necessary training for users, they have had a limited reach. BI software has often focused on the structured information in relational databases. Although clearly useful, it rules out much of the data employees store in such files as spreadsheets and word processing documents as well as the large data sets managed by specialty databases, including Hadoop, MongoDB and Cassandra.
But that is changing. Companies are developing BI systems that can include unstructured data, data warehouses, and other sources. That will make all the difference in the future, because companies are increasingly turning to big data to answer questions. According to data from Forrester, 31 percent of finance departments, 34 percent of marketing departments, 36 percent of sales groups, and 38 percent of operations organizations all use big data. Those percentages will likely increase in the future. It means a growing number of managers and executives will want to get direct and speedy insight into the pools of data.
Not only will BI have a wider audience and expanding subject matter, but it must also find ways to partner with other disciplines and avoid a tendency to be "inward looking." BI can partners with other major areas, including competitive intelligence, investor relations, and market research to combine internal and external data to answer important questions.
Sitting atop these massive bodies of data, BI can become the bridge between unprocessed information and executives who are increasingly frustrated with their inability to get answers to many of the important questions they have. To create the bridge, BI professionals will need to do the following:
• Learn and adopt new tools that will give them access to big data.
• Leverage technology to simplify systems for non-technical users.
• Gain cooperation of executives who have control over data sources.
• Improve communications to better understand what questions users have.
Rather than focusing on how BI has worked in the past, successful professionals will look toward the future and find new ways to better achieve the goals they've had all along.

The first two articles in this issue, reflecting growing scholarly interest in the global era of decolonization in the two decades after World War II, track multilayered local, regional, and global forces that shaped particular historical shifts during these pivotal years. Cyrus Schayegh, in "1958 Reconsidered: State Formation and the Cold War in the Early Postcolonial Arab Middle East," revisits the political crises that tore rapidly through the central Arab states in 1958, focusing on Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, all of which were "sandwiched between the unstable poles of the Arab state system, Iraq and Egypt." While Schayegh concurs with previous scholarship that the convulsions of that year did not lead to the deep sociopolitical and ideological transformations in the region that many contemporaries either hoped or feared, he argues that they can now be read as marking a historical milestone of a different sort. In all three countries, the events of 1958 sparked immediate, dramatic, and persistent "state-formation surges," particularly through the rapid implementation of development plans aimed at defusing both socioeconomic discontent and the political aspirations fueled by Nasirist Arab nationalism on one side and Arab communist movements on the other. Schayegh suggests that these state-formation surges in turn shaped similarities in the three countries' subsequent historical development in spite of stark differences in their political systems of governance.
This issue of IJMES features seven full-length articles and a roundtable on "theorizing violence." While we were preparing the articles for publication in June and early July, the conflict in Syria was escalating, the Turkish state was suppressing protests in Gezi Park, and the situation in Egypt took a precipitous turn when the military killed more than fifty Muslim Brotherhood supporters. As our colleagues writing in more time-sensitive venues such as Jadaliyya, Facebook, and personal blogs scrambled to keep up with events, we decided to take a broader look at scholarly approaches to the study of violence. For the roundtable, we asked seven political scientists, historians, and anthropologists working on the Middle East and South Asia to reflect on "violence" as a theoretical category across the disciplines. The responses move from introductory reflections on studying, teaching, and writing about violence by our new board member Laleh Khalili, who helped us organize the roundtable, to conceptualizations of violence "from above" employed by colonial, postcolonial, and neoliberal states (Khalili, Daniel Neep), through everyday and crisis-linked forms of sexual violence (Veena Das) and violence "from below," whether in the forms of communal riots and suicide bombing (Faisal Devji) or self-immolation, hunger strikes, and other acts of self-destruction (Banu Bargu), to reflections on violence and nonviolence in Gezi Park (Yeşim Arat). The roundtable concludes with a broad-sweep analysis of most of the above in relation to (inter)disciplinarity and to Middle Eastern modernity by our board member James McDougall.
We are thrilled to present this special issue on "Queer Affects," which explores a range of topics and analytical approaches that have rarely appeared in the pages of IJMES but reflect vital emerging discussions in diverse subfields of Middle East studies. That so many contributors hail from literary disciplines, which have tended to be underrepresented in the journal, also makes this a landmark issue for us. We thank guest editors Hanadi Al-Samman and Tarek El-Ariss for proposing the special issue, gathering the original collection of manuscript submissions, and introducing the final group of six articles we present here, all of which have gone through the standard IJMES peer review process. We also acknowledge the anonymous reviewers, some of whom read more than one article for this issue, for their perceptive evaluations. We are grateful to Huda Lufti for permitting us to use a photograph of her artwork, "Lipstick and Moustache (2010)," as this issue's cover art.
This issue marks the launch of a new IJMES cover. While it's not likely to please everyone—some of you may be nostalgic for the old maroon and yellow cover—we have opted for a design that enables the journal to highlight the visual culture of the Middle East. The image on the cover will change with each issue, and it is our hope that authors of articles and roundtable essays will be inspired to submit visual images with their work for consideration as that issue's cover. We thank our partners at Cambridge University Press, Laura Etheredge and Nancy BriggsShearer; IJMES board members, who encouraged us to move forward with a new design; and the MESA directorate, which supported the adoption of a new cover.
Using Arabic, English, and French sources, and engaging Middle East and Cold War historians, this article makes a threefold argument. First, in United Arab Republic (UAR)–Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, the 1958–59 explosion of domestic and regional tensions triggered state-formation surges. Second, these formed one process, which made those states more alike, with state-led socioeconomic planning playing a key role. Third, that process partook of a global Third World trend intersecting with the early Cold War. I draw three conclusions. Although existing scholarly readings that the events of 1958–59 in the Arab Middle East formed a crisis but not an ideological or political watershed are correct, from the viewpoint of state formation this crisis was a milestone. Moreover, UAR–Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon had persisting affinities and shared regional positions—notably, the fact that all were sandwiched between the unstable poles of the Arab state system, Iraq and Egypt—that shaped their individual postindependence histories of state formation. Last, Washington's low-profile involvement in this state-formation surge illustrates how domestic sociopolitics and regional geopolitics—including the UAR's peaking popularity and influence in 1958–59—affected U.S. policy in the Cold War postcolonial world.
In this article, I explore how the rapid commercialism and commodification of Turkish premier league football has affected the activities of a particular fan group, Çarşı, for the club Beşiktaş, one of Turkey's oldest teams. I look at how elements of the commodification of football have been harnessed and mediated by Çarşı to make ethical and political statements and convey an anarcho-socialist message. These processes, I argue, are driven by the possibilities opened up by rapid social and technological development. The shift to searching for identity among the forums and video websites of the internet, rather than on the terraces of Beşiktaş, is profoundly altering how fans construct their allegiance to the fan group and the club. This process, it will be shown, is not so much liberating supporters from the requirements of fandom as it is generating new conventions and processes to which Çarşı members must adhere.
When we and several authors of the articles included here originally debated the idea of this special issue, our aim was to respond to what we perceived as a standstill that locks Middle Eastern queer studies into a premodern Eastern versus modern Western-oriented division. While the East is studied as a repository of tradition with an identifiable sexual and amorous nomenclature, the West is often presented as a fixed hegemonic structure distinct from the East, regardless of the long traditions of cultural exchange and the specific forms of translation and dialogue that take shape when the identities and models of desire associated with the West travel or are performed outside it or at its periphery. This division has generated a set of binaries pertaining to the applicability of terms (gay, lesbian, homosexual) and theoretical frameworks (queer theory) to Middle Eastern literary and cultural contexts. It is our belief that critical engagements with queer Arab and Iranian sexualities in literature and culture ought to situate current discussions in queer theory within debates and concerns arising from specific Middle Eastern social and political realities.
In the 18th century, non-Muslims and women crossed social boundaries during a period of increased global consumption, prompting intervention on the part of Ottoman officials. On the imperial level, the sultan promulgated edicts to restrict such crossings, following the path of earlier laws that had regulated public spaces including bathhouses. In Aleppo, a local reflection of these 18th-century trends was increased monitoring of nudity and of contact between Muslims and non-Muslims within the city's bathhouses. Regulations required that bathkeepers provide separate bath sundries for Muslims and non-Muslims and prohibited co-confessional bathing for women in particular. With the assistance of guilds—and to a lesser extent millet representatives—complex bathing schedules for Muslim and non-Muslim women were registered at court to support segregation policies. Jurists discussing modesty requirements for Muslim women declared that non-Muslim (dhimmī) women were to be treated as unrelated men in that they were forbidden to gaze upon a naked Muslim woman. Shariʿa court rulings were constructed along similar lines, indicating that the dhimmī woman was an unstable, liminal social category because in some circumstances her gaze was gendered male. Muslim male elites and local guilds ultimately instituted segregated bathing schedules to protect the purity of Muslim women from the danger posed by the dhimmī female figure.
In recent decades, Iran has witnessed radical transformations concerning the conceptualization of and procedural standards for changing sex. Psychologists, medical and legal practitioners, law enforcement officials, and scholars of fiqh have debated the advisability (in debates among health and legal professionals) or the permissibility (among scholars of fiqh) of sex-change. This article asks what historical transformations of the concept of jins/genus have informed the debates and enabled the contemporary dominant concepts and practices that shape them. How has jins come to mean sex and how does this matter? The article first maps out the historical genealogy of these reconfigurations. What were some of the 19th- and pre-19th-century concepts that could be considered disparate precedents to this cluster around sex/jins? It then reviews some of the late-19th- and 20th-century reshaping of biomedical knowledge and marital practices that have contributed to the contemporary meanings of jins.
The Algerian war resituated the meaning of "Muslims" and "Jews" in France in relation to religion and "origins" and this process reshaped French secular nationhood, with Algerian independence in mid-1962 crystallizing a complex and shifting debate that took shape in the interwar period and blossomed between 1945 and 1962. In its failed efforts to keep all Algerians French, the French government responded to both Algerian nationalism and, as is less known, Zionism, and did so with policies that took seriously, rather than rejected, the so-called ethnoreligious arguments that they embraced—and that, according to existing scholarship, have always been anathema to French laïcité. Most scholars on France continue to presume that its history is national or wholly "European." Yet paying attention to this transnational confrontation, driven by claims from Algeria and Israel, emphasizes the crucial roles of North African and Mediterranean developments in the making of contemporary France.
From 1891 to 1911, a disenfranchised shaykh of the Muntafiq tribe, Saʿdun al-Mansur, led a large uprising against Ottoman rule in southern Iraq. Feeling that he had been disinherited from properties that were his birthright, he fought battle after battle against rival family claimants, shaykhs in Arabia and the Gulf, and reformist Ottoman governors in Baghdad and Basra. This article analyzes Saʿdun's insurgency both within the context of his life and against the background of shifting socioeconomic and political events in Iraq, Arabia, and the Gulf at the turn of the 20th century. One of the last rebellions against Ottoman central authority in southern Iraq, the insurgency was also notable for the indirect but intriguing links between the rebel shaykh and his nominal overlord Sultan ʿAbd al-Hamid II, who paid special attention to the rebel's fate.
This paper focuses on the relationship between social identity based on national, religious, or international affiliations and attitudes toward foreign policy in the Turkish context. Evidence is drawn from an original survey conducted among university students in Turkey. The results show that students' social identity has a significant correlation with their perceptions of foreign policy. Most Turkish university students provide conditional support for the new directions in Turkey's foreign policy, but those with an Islamic identity appear to be more supportive of the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi's (Justice and Development Party) policies. Most university students believe that Turkey's future lies in the European Union and the Central Asian Turkic republics rather than in the Middle East. Overall, the perceptions of educated youth toward foreign policy are shaped by both social identity and their conceptions of national interest.
Since 2009, analyses of Iran have stressed the centralizing takeover of the country's economy by a single state institution, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. At the same time, however, Iran's factionalized political elite uniformly advocate for rapid privatization of state-owned enterprises. Underneath this puzzling contradiction is a complex shift of economic ownership away from the state toward a variety of parastatal organizations including banks, cooperatives, pension funds, foundations, and military-linked contractors. The result is not a praetorian monolith but a subcontractor state. This article draws on interviews conducted in Iran during 2009 and 2010, primary data from parliamentary and governmental reports, and secondary sources to show how intraelite conflict and nonelite claims have structured the process of privatization. Framed comparatively with privatization outcomes in other middle-income countries, Iran's subcontractor state can be seen as a consequence of the way in which politics and society shaped the form of capitalism that has taken root in the Islamic Republic.
The article explores the Zionist cultural economy in interwar Palestine, by studying the emergence of the field of consumption as an arena for political struggles among Jews and between Jews and Arabs. The Jewish nationalist movement employed dominant contemporary assumptions about economic nationalism in attempts to politicize the economy of British Palestine, including through campaigns advocating ethnonational separatism in consumption. Unlike other "buy local" movements around the world, these were not directed solely against imports; rather, they were often "buy Jewish" campaigns waged against the consumption of commodities produced by the rival ethnonational sector in Palestine. Using a variety of archival and media sources, the article tracks the development of Jewish separatist consumption campaigns in interwar Palestine, uncovering a gradual amplification of their ethnonational emphasis that paralleled the escalation of the Arab–Jewish conflict. The cultural mechanisms used to attribute ethnic qualities to objects and define them as either "Jewish" or "foreign" are analyzed with particular attention to the conceptual contradictions in the definitions of a Jewish product, which were shaped by economic conflicts and the diverse political conceptions of Jewish identity. The study of separatist consumption sheds new light on the "dual society" thesis, revealing the deep grip of separatist approaches across multiple layers of the Jewish middle class in the Yishuv.
This article offers a reading of the groundbreaking book Bareed Mista3jil: True Stories, a collection of the narratives of Lebanese queers. Here, I argue, a burgeoning collective queer experience is being mapped from the conditions of Western imperialism and globalization, from the legacies of a colonial past, and from everyday life in postwar Lebanon. Resisting the urge to reduce Arab queer identities as either Western or traditionally Arab, the article suggests that though Western constructions of sexualities have certainly been influential, these identities are also responding to the local and cultural context. If we attune our readings to the affects that underlie the stories in this collection, it becomes clear that the emotional strategies to survive and negotiate the difficulties of postcoloniality are different from the strategies of post-Stonewall pride culture. Rather than stifle shame with the insistence of queer pride, this community is creating itself by expressing its suffering from the effects of shame and social humiliation. The narrative thread that comes through is not pride but hope. That is because shame, as Elspeth Probyn contends, gives access to what is most important and, as Eve Sedgwick has argued, is a resource for imagining change.
This article traces the ways that the Moroccan Police Journal, a state-produced periodical that first appeared in 1961, constructed and disseminated an aspirational identity for the Moroccan police, one that was radically distinct from the image of the brutal security forces of the Protectorate period. Unlike other state-produced periodicals in Morocco or the Middle East at the time, Police Journal included fictional short stories written in the form of a police procedural, a genre that places a real-world criminal detective in the center of a narrative depicting a believable police investigation into a puzzling crime. As this article shows, these stories are the first examples of police procedurals in the Arabic language. The article examines three stories from Police Journal, tracing how they projected a new professional institutional culture for the police in the era of independence and served as both didactic pieces for police readers and entertaining works of fiction for the literate public.
In this article, I argue that commercial legislation promulgated and implemented in Egypt during the first half of the 19th century was one of several factors that diminished the effect of merchants' social networks, reduced merchants' identity to a purely professional dimension, and made profit dependent upon association with the state. The transformation of merchants' social roles was not part of a natural evolution toward modernization and the specialized division of labor. Rather, it resulted from interactions between state-building endeavors, pressures from established merchants who sought to parry threats to their position while profiting from new business opportunities, and an influx of merchants from outside the Ottoman sultanate, who could draw neither on personal connections nor on knowledge of local markets but instead had to depend on the protection of the European consulates and the influence of the growing Egyptian state apparatus.
Faced with the possible censoring of the film adaptation of ʿImarat Yaʿqubyan, the book's author, ʿAlaʾ al-Aswani, responded, "Why aren't Italy, France, or the United States defamed by movies dealing with homosexuality?" Implicit in his defensive question is a perceived distinction between First World gay rights and social conservatism in the Third World. My paper considers this conventional coupling of gay rights and civilizational discourse in the global reception of ʿImarat Yaʿqubyan. Against the author's remarks, I argue that the story is remarkable for staging an interplay between the putatively opposed characters of Hatim Rashid, an openly gay newspaper editor, and Taha al-Shazli, a young man lured into a terrorist group. By uniting these two characters along parallel tracks, ʿImarat Yaʿqubyan queerly couples the seemingly antagonistic forces endemic to the civilizational discourse of gay rights and offers us a means for imagining new constellations of queer politics.
A political trial, according to Steven E. Barkan, is a trial revolving around highly publicized legal controversies. In some cases, such a trial may determine fundamental political questions, exceeding the legal realm, which are in debate inside a given polity. The 1957–58 trial related to the 1956 massacre in Kafr Qasim, Israel certainly belongs to this category. The trial established the doctrine of a "manifestly unlawful order" in Israeli military law, contributed considerably to the reshaping of civil–military relations, and influenced the civic status of the Arab minority in Israel. In this article, using hitherto underexamined primary sources, I argue that the most important contribution of the trial, the doctrine of a "manifestly unlawful order," was not only a creation of the bench but also a result of a complicated interaction between the actors present in the courtroom: the defendants, their defense lawyers, the prosecutors, and the judges. Above all, the article shows how the bitter struggle between the two main attorneys helped shape the doctrine of a "manifestly unlawful order," that is, an order that is illegal for a soldier to obey.
Social, political, and technological changes have forced changes in the contemporary Moroccan linguistic landscape. In print media, advertising, music, fictional writing, and translation, Moroccan Arabic (dārija) is being written in a variety of ways that point to a shift in perceptions and usage of dārija in daily Moroccan life. In this article, I provide a discussion of recent developments in the use of dārija in writing, and discuss how this evolving situation is articulated by intellectuals, journalists, publishers, fiction writers, and translators.
