The Wheel Reacts to the Programme for Government
The Programme for Government sets out a very ambitious set of objectives under a wide range of headers, many of which will have impacts on the work of community and voluntary organisations in the years ahead. Although on the face of it lacking a clear statement of a grand vision for the community and voluntary sector in Irish society, the programme contains proposals that have the potential to positively transform the role of community and voluntary organisations, and put them at the heart of our society, in the years ahead.

It is only potential however – if our sector cannot see the opportunities and work with the new government to ensure that these opportunities materialize positively for community and voluntary activity, then they have great negative potential too. That is the case in any period of transformational change, and it is certainly the case now.
How these proposals are managed out will undoubtedly have profound implications for all of our work and for the people we serve.
While it is very positive that that during this time of recession and deep unemployment the Government acknowledges (on page 57) "the vital role of the community and voluntary sector working in partnership with local communities, State agencies and local authorities" there is, as already noted, a lack of a clearly articulated grand vision for the central role the community and voluntary sector plays - and will continue to play - in innovating solutions to our pressing social and economic challenges.
The Wheel will be working to ensure that the new government addresses this gap and develops a vision for our sector that:
- Puts voluntary and community activity at the heart of Irish life.
- Involves Ireland's 7,900 charities and community and voluntary groups in social dialogue.
- Delivers a comprehensive strategy to support and enable voluntary activity.
You will be aware that Phil Hogan TD has been appointed as Minister for the Environment and that the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs is to be disbanded, with the Community division being transferred across to the Department of the Environment.
The Wheel has continuously argued that Government should involve our sector in the badly needed process of public services reform and democratic renewal.
Full details of what this means for our sector are unclear – but I would like to reassure you that The Wheel will be monitoring the situation closely, and will be making contact with the Minister, and with any Ministers of State that may be appointed in the coming days, to meet with them and brief them on the role of the sector and the developmental agenda facing our members.
I would like at this point to draw your attention to some especially important
Commitments - which The Wheel welcomes and supports in principle (if they materialize positively) - from the Programme for Government that have the potential to positively impact our sector in the way I have suggested.
The Programme for Government notes that:
- Public service is, and must remain, about serving the public, not making a profit. It is about serving the common good.
- Government is too centralised and unaccountable and there must be a real shift in power from the State to the citizen.
- Citizens have a basic right to key information on the performance of key services.
Amongst the very large number of wide ranging proposals, Government:
- Will put resources into the hands of citizens to acquire services that are tailored to better suit their needs and less expensive for the taxpayer.
- Will open up the delivery of public services to a range of providers where appropriate.
- Will give schools, hospitals andother public service bodies new freedoms – within strict budgets and new accountability systems – to set their own staffing needs, automate routine processes and adapt work practices to local staff and customer needs.
- Will establish a Constitutional Convention to consider comprehensive constitutional reform.
- Will promote the development of a vibrant and effective social enterprise sector, will instruct agencies to view social enterprises as important stakeholders in rejuvenating local economies, and will continue support for social innovation projects for young people trough education, community and voluntary structures.
- Is committed to a fundamental reorganisation of local governance structures to allow for devolution of much greater decision-making to local people and will give local communities more control over transport and traffic, economic development, educational infrastructure, and local responses to crime and local healthcare needs.
- Will move many of the functions currently being performed by agencies – such as community employment and enterprise supports – back to local government.
- Will establish a new model of financing social interventions – called Social Impact Bonds – that share audited exchequer savings with charitable and voluntary organizations.
- Are committed to the 0.7% of GNP target for Overseas Development Aid and will seek to achieve this by 2015.
- Will seek to capture some public good from NAMA by identifying buildings that have no commercial potential, and which might be suitable as local facilities for art and culture.
- Will conduct a Comprehensive Spending Review to examine all areas of public spending and to develop multi-annual budget plans with a three-year time horizon.
- Concrete mechanisms to improve performance, using a range of external standards and benchmarks, and to deal with persistent under-performance.
- A new approach to government which empowers public servants by devolving more power.
- Recognise the important role of Credit Unions as a volunteer co-operative movement and the distinction between them and other types of financial institutions and will establish a Commission to review the future of the credit union movement and make recommendations in relation to the most effective regulatory structure for Credit Unions, taking into account their not-for-profit mandate, their volunteer ethos and community focus.
The Wheel has continuously argued that Government should involve our sector in the badly needed process of public services reform and democratic renewal.
The Wheelbelieves that this Programme for Government, while being far from perfect, and accompanied as it inevitably will be by much pain and further budget cutting, presents a genuine opportunity to move citizens and communities closer to the heart of decision-making: and that has to be a good thing.
Can we take the opportunity?

NZ returned and made contact. He suggested several options to meet but the available time for real sex in his diary was more cruelly limited than the free time for thoughts of sex. After three or four or five cancellations I left him an 'I'll leave it with you' message and wandered off.
One afternoon a message arrived saying nothing but, "I'm horny." Well, fuck, so am I, and self destructive and angry and depressed and sad so I win. What of it? We are both losing. He flung another message and said he'd bring supplies and drive to my side of town if I found a hotel. I was tired and ungroomed but I found a hotel.
We talked and he showered and I wanted oblivion without questions or intimacy but I didn't know how to describe these things. I removed the towel from around his waist and buried myself in his groin as a replacement for awkward words. I could be alone there. He praised me and took photos so I pushed him on the bed and buried myself lower where no one would find me. He has the tightest anus I've encountered and later on getting one finger in was an effort. My tongue was fine though.
We fucked but he was too gentle. He came and then fucked me as gently with his fingers until small orgasms rippled through my nervous system. His fingers evolved into polished steel pistons working inside my body and my fingers grasped bed covers and my toes curled and my pelvis undulated on invisible waves. I had squirting orgasms without the fluid and I wondered briefly what my body was doing but I gave in and let it come as it pleased so many more times.
The physical releases ripped emotional threads that were already weak and I started crying with long sobs that halted my breath. I asked him to stop and I closed my eyes and hid under the post-orgasm haze until my skill at acting composed came back. He was tactful enough not to ask about the stream of tears down my face that he would have seen.
I feel so full yet so empty sometimes.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "For My Fellow Grammar Geeks":When you learn how to spell and write, I'll consider your opinion.
I think that what you posted made a great deal of sense.
But, what about this? suppose you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your content isn't solid, however suppose you added something to maybe get folk's attention?
I mean "For My Fellow Grammar Geeks" is kinda plain.
You could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create post titles to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about everything've written.
Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little
bit more interesting.
Keep in mind, this Anonymous isn't a real reader. I get two or three of these a day. They always end, "visit my web site."


text: Grain Market's Bumpy Ride Continues January 5, 2017 04:43 PM Tweet It was another day of mixed trading for the grain markets. © AgWeb TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Debra Beachy AgWeb AgWeb Contributing Editor Soybeans seesawed down Thursday, backing off from Wednesday's rally, while corn and wheat rose as funds continued to rebalance positions, according to analysts. January soybeans slid 2 ¾ cents to $10.03 ½, but Chicago March wheat climbed 7 3/5 cents to $4.26 1/5 and March corn went up 1 1/2 cents to $3.61 ¼. "We're just after the first of the year, with more and more rebalancing by different funds [ahead of next week]", says Don Roose, president of U.S. Commodities in West Des Moines, Iowa. "We know there has been a heavy commitment to the short side on corn and wheat, and to the long side on beans." Funds may try to rebalance 50,000 to 80,000 contracts on corn and 30,000 to 40,000 contracts on wheat, and rebalance soybean contracts by selling, according to Roose. In addition to the annual rebalancing by index funds, South American weather is an even more dominant factor moving markets, he explains. Meanwhile, U.S. soybean exports are dwindling as Brazil's first soybean harvest gets underway, Rosse observes. "We're going to have range-bound trade until one of these factors moves the needle," says Roose. Analyst Dan Heuber, of the Heuber Report, in Sycamore, Ill., shares a similar view. "I would anticipate additional short-covering and rebalancing buying between now and the reports next week, but again, [I] am not expecting to see prices come out of ranges we have realistically been stuck in for months now," he writes in the Heuber Report blog. South American weather forecasts call for rain in northeastern Brazil next week and rain over the weekend in Argentina. Back to news

Free Conferencing Calling: You Get What You Pay For (Part II), or Yugma and Audio Quality
A couple of years ago while working on a web application development project with an outsource shop in India, I was introduced to a desktop sharing/webinar service called Yugma (pronounced "Yoog Muh"). It was amazingly free and also worked cross platform (good with Windows, Macs, and Linux users bi-directionally). After using the free service for a while, I signed up for their Yugma Pro 20 service for $149 a year as the additional features seemed worth it to me.
Audio Quality: Is it Us or Them?
In working across the time zones with our friends on the subcontinent we noticed pretty quickly that even through the desktop sharing worked great, the audio was inconsistent and of inferior quality. I initially chalked this up to our respective VoIP telephone system, but soon wondered whether something else was at play. I wasn't sure, but didn't have the patience to figure this out.
Since the web features were quite good, we began simply using our InfiniteConferencing.com audio service coupled with Yugma to do what we needed. This added some complication to those of us scheduling meetings, but this allowed us to get the best of both services without it killing us cost wise. In fairness to Infinite Conferencing, they do offer desktop sharing features too; however, the meter runs twice for those meetings (web + telephone), and they also don't work across platforms for the desktop sharing piece.
Trying Again
This fall we revisited the audio portion of Yugma's conference service as an experiment for our weekly sales meetings. We figured that even though Yugma's telephone numbers are in South Dakota, since our VoIP telephone service doesn't assess toll charges, it didn't matter for us. This lasted perhaps 2 weekly meetings before we bailed in frustration. The lines in Mount Rushmore state didn't reliably pick up, so we were back to the drawing board.
I ran a web meeting last Thursday and scheduled it as normal via the Yugma web app and forgot to inform the team that they should ignore the standard dial in instructions and we tried calling in via the standard Yugma number in the 605 area code. When it didn't pick up after the 2nd call and 10 rings, we reverted back to the daisy chain method described in the previous post.
Since I'm a paying Yugma customer, I decided to complain. What follows is my email exchange with them.
From: Kenny Schiff
Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 5:18 PM
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Telephony Issues. Dial in # just rang and didn't pick up
I have found the audio portion of your service to completely unreliable. We had not used audio for a while, and when I called into a scheduled conference today @ 3 pm EST (Meeting ID: 404166026), the phone never picked up on your end. I would consider this to be a major show stopper and I really have to think twice regarding using this with customers (BTW, I have the Pay version). I've never had a problem with the web portion, only with telephony.
Their response was a revelation for me (loved the Mr. Kenny touch), and not unfair, only unreasonable in the fact that that had I not complained, I would have not known that this was the only way to guarantee audio quality.
From: Support [mailto:email@example.com]

Subject: RE: Telephony Issues. Dial in # just rang and didn't pick up
Dear Mr. Kenny,
The teleconferencing service is a free service which we are extending to our users as a courtesy through a partner of ours. Unfortunately Yugma does not have much control over the quality or nature of the service. We understand your concern about issues with this service at certain times. We propose that you use our new Toll Free Option which comes with an attractive rate of $0.04 per minute per user, with a committed $200 per month (a total 5000 minutes per month usage), and sliding higher rate for lower volumes.
The charge for using a GX-toll-free number is paid by the meeting host, and all the incoming attendees join the call toll-free. With Toll-free Service, your meeting attendees call you free of charge. This way you can handle and satisfy more customers. A seven digit access code will be provided to the HOST and will be visible on main console of Yugma for all attendees. Subscribing to this feature will make all scheduled Yugma meetings as public meeting, which can be attended using the unique seven digit access code. To subscribe for Toll Free Service visit this URL https://www.yugma.com/buyyugma.php Once you have subscribed, it takes 24 to 48 hours to activate the Toll Free number. Please let us know if you would be interested in subscribing to this premium audio service. I hope this information helps.
So the short story here is that if you are attracted to Yugma's services and anticipate doing both audio and web conferencing at the same time, don't have high expectations for the free audio portion. In fact, per my previous post I would not hold out high hopes for decent audio service through any provider that offers it for free. In the case of Yugma, if you are using this regularly with customers, go with "toll free" option and pay the extra fees.

And they are all normal - so 'no action'.
It is good and bad news. It is good news because I am healthy and normal according to the results (and I was mistaken - they took 12 vials and not 10 like I though! lol)...
But it is bad because it means there is no reason for the miscarriages that I had meaning that it was just plain bad luck. It makes me afraid to get pregnant again because of course I will always be worried that I will just have another miscarriage!
I do not think they checked progesterone though - so I am going to stick with the cream for awhile. It can not hurt.
We got a bit frisky last night and as we are not exactly 'preventing' a pregnancy, theres always a possibility there. We are still 'taking a break' for awhile (until March now) but if the mood arises, will not take any measures to prevent a pregnancy if it were to happen. I keep hoping that this might be what we need to do in order to get lucky, but I am also not very positive about it I guess (because of my fears of another loss) - but as we are not actively planning at the moment I can do nothing but relax and just take things as they come - because there is no need for me to think about it!

Our plans for an evening away from the children were put on hold for another time. Well, if you can't go out for a romantic dinner, than the romantic dinner will have to be at home. And so it was...
The boys were excited that mommy and daddy were having a dinner date. That afternoon I gave Scott an invitation that read:" You're Invited to Chez Damstrom. Time: 7:30 pm with dinner and dessert to follow." I had everything organized. The music was carefully selected off the computer. One and a half hours of pure,cheesy love songs. The kind of music that Scott really enjoys! (not) I had the lasagna cooked and was waiting for the garlic bread to bake. (10 minutes beforehand I was running around like a mad woman trying to get ready for my date). As I was pulling the garlic bread out of the oven the doorbell began to ring and someone was knocking at the door...
"What the hell, "I exclaimed, "they (mom and dad) know that we're having dinner!"
"I'll just ignore it, " I thought to myself.
Knock, knock, knock...
Pretending not to hear I scurried around the kitchen muttering unmentionables to myself.
The knocks persisted and became frantic! I didn't want to go to the door. Firstly, I didn't want to have company, but more importantly, I was dressed to the nines and felt a little embarassed that I was so dressed up for dinner at my own home.
Reluctantly I opened the door, and there was...Scott!! He was dressed up in his suit and said, "I'm here for dinner!" (eat your hearts out women), but then quickly added, "I've been out here for 10 minutes and I think I am going to catch pneumonia!" (Sorry babe!)
We sat down to a beautifully set table with lit candles and an arrangement of fresh tulips. Barry White was serenading us with "Let's Get It On.." I looked over in the corner of the dining room and there was Gavin perched quietly in his high chair. He wanted food. Oh well! We enjoyed ourselves amongst the cries, screams and pitter patter of little feet. At one point Gavin was shrieking (like only Gavin can) and Scott and I looked at each other and Scott laughed, "Pure romance Baby!" After dinner we even had a couple of dances in our living room.
"This is the best dance floor heh Jen, "Scott whispered.
"You betcha, " I added. Overall this was the best Valentines Day I have had. It would have been nice to not have the interruptions of crying children, or not to have the diaper snagged on the hem of my skirt ( I was trying to look pretty and Scott had to point out to me that a diaper was dragging behind me: a little embarassing to say the least!) but the romantic part about last night was that Scott and I didn't have to try and have romance. Even with a runny nose that had besieged my husband (from standing in the cold) and amidst the chaos of 3 rambunctious boys all it took for romance was the two of us in our own surroundings. Isn't love grand? That's Amore!!
Today was a beautiful spring like day, but oh so cold. How cold? Toque and glove worthy cold.
I spent the morning with Jonas at the school for a Literacy workshop. It was fun and the school had a great turnout. Jonas is improving greatly with his letters. Mrs. Vidal commented that she was very impressed with his progress!
Gavin has added two more words to his vocabulary: Fowar (flower) and Babary(strawberry). It sounds so cute when he says the words!!
Seamus friend Sidney (from Saskatoon) made him a special Valentines picture. On the front she(drew herself as a blonde billowy Woman) and Seamus (drawn as a man resembling Popeye) are holding hands. On the back she wrote: Happy Valentines Day Seamus. You are my Best Friend Well One of them! I thought that was the cutest sentiment I have heard in awhile.
Jonas just asked me, "Mommy do you know what day it is?"
"Tuesday, "I answered.
"No, Toonie Tuesday, "he smiled. Now if that wasn't a hint for what he would like for supper.
I will leave now and take the boys for a good homecooked meal of KFC. Oh well, it saves me from making supper.(Scott isn't home until seven)
I leave you with a quote for the day:
"Love is the only flower that grows and blooms without the aid of seasons."-Kahil Gibran
Enjoy your day!

With my dad sick, a lot of family members and neighbors have been praying for him and having their pastors call to pray for him as well which is sweet and appreciated.
Some people have even sent their pastors to our house which, you know,
is still appreciated but weird. Or am I weird for thinking that? Maybe
it's the American in me.
In the last week, we've had over six pastors in our house.
Today's pastors came from The Mountain of Fire church. The two men went
to the living room where my dad was resting and they gave the rest of
us (me, Mom, an uncle and an aunt) an outline of what was going to go
down (prayer of thanks, some praise songs and then down to the
So we're praying and then singing and then the pastor asks us to pray
that God has mercy on my dad which made me giggle because the way one
guy was saying "have mercy" over and over, my mom was saying "in jesus
name" over and over and another guy was just saying "mercy" over and
over reminded me a lot of that episode of Potter Puppet Pals.
Anyway, we got to the point where the pastor said something along the
lines of "now we will pray that those who have orchestrated Daddy's
sickness for their benefit die."
Before I had time to process that, it started: "In Jesus Name,
DIEEEEE!" Over and over again. With someone just screaming "DIE".
I felt like I was listening to death metal.
It seemed to last forever and just when I thought it would never end, we
moved on to the next prayer point. Which ended up being a variation of
the last one. In fact, almost every prayer point after that involved
death to anyone who wished my dad harm.
Oh my dear lord. Guys, I couldn't stop laughing. I. Could. Not. Stop.
I certainly pray people who don't have my family's best interest in mind
stay away but I can't really justify praying for someone to bite the
bullet. But two pastors can. And that is what is so twisted about
religion, the way people can justify something truly awful by bringing
God into it.

Originations of commercial and multifamily mortgage loans continued strong in the second quarter the Mortgage Bankers Association reports, and were up 40% compared to last year's second quarter.Originations were also up 26% from first quarter levels. At the helm of the increased origination activity was a rise in commercial mortgage-backed securities loans and loans backed by hotel properties, the mortgage bankers' trade association reports. Volume was also positively influenced by real estate investment trust (REIT) privatizations. "A number of large deals helped boost commercial/multifamily origination volumes in the second quarter," said Jamie Woodwell, MBA's senior director of commercial/multifamily research. "As a result, the quarter saw significant growth in CMBS and hotel loans. Overall, second quarter commercial/multifamily originations remained strong despite the initial phases of a general re-pricing of risk in the commercial/multifamily and other capital markets." Compared to the second quarter of 2006, loans for hotel properties were up 330%.

(…) Literature has a significant impact on the development and nature of Turkish-Armenian relations. For instance, the symbols created in literary works like poems, episodes, novels, memoirs, letters, journals, stories, legends, etc. are passed on from one generation to another and extend to our time. One can possibly say these literary genres bring about both negative and positive . . effects. Negative effect is when the negative mutual sentiments of the two nations are transmitted to the readers through these works. However, it is also possible to find out in a work written long years ago how the Turks and Armenians peacefully co-existed despite religious and ethnic differences and how the two communities interacted. From there on, we could infer that the literature assumes a significant function in ensuring communication among societies.
The themes of "exile, migration and 1915" are featured in the works of most of the prominent authors of modern Western Armenian literature. Likewise, several authors of East Armenian literature also used these themes in their works.
(…) Migirdic Margosyan is one of them. In his work titled "Soyle Margos Nerelisen?" [Tell us Margos, where are you from?] Margosyan refers to the effects brought upon him and his family by the World War I, the 1915 events and the migration.
(…) This is an important example as it shows that not only the Armenian authors living in Istanbul but also Armenian authors in Anatolia use this theme in their works as well. Another author following this trend is William Saroyan. He is the first US-born member of an Armenian family that had moved from Bitlis to US. William Saroyan's book, "Ödlekler Cesurdur" [Cowards are brave], probably his most important work, narrates the problems of people who feel they do not belong to the place they live.
(…) Another literary work based on same themes is "Hilalin Gölgesinde Bir Ermeni Kizin Yazgisi" [The destiny of an Armenian girl under the shadow of the Crescent] that reflects a biased attitude towards Turks and a rather pungent style. The author David Kherdian was born in Wisconsin in 1931. In his book, he narrates the story of his mother, Veron Dumhejian.
(…) It is known that psychological factors as well as historical elements bear a significant impact on the emerging of exile and migration themes in the Armenian literature. Today some scientists argue that the fact that the Armenian community existed as a minority under the protection of the Ottoman Empire led the Armenians to regard the Turks, in other words the majority, as a psychological pressure group or potential enemies. Yet the only reason of that is not because the Armenians had lived as a minority within the Ottoman Empire. The geographical region they had lived on throughout the history pushed the Armenians to settle at the border areas of other huge kingdoms like the Byzantine, Roman, Persian, Arab and Seljuk empires besides the Ottomans, and they were often squeezed in between the conflicts of these big empires. In that case, the Armenians should, logically, display a negative attitude not only towards the Turks but also other nations as well.
Hence, it is possible to say that one should look for other reasons underlying the negativity within the Armenian literature. First of all, it would not be unreasonable to establish that the aspiration to unite the scattered Armenians to reach one single goal is the main reason of the almost hostile style of particularly the authors of Diaspora Armenians. To achieve that goal, a common enemy must be created, as also argued by Erol Goka. He describes the attitude of Diaspora as follows:
"The Diaspora Armenians have no option for a national identity other than sticking to the identity of the rich Western country they live in; but for their group identity, hostility towards the Turks and revengeful feelings might prove functional. They can only enjoy the advantages of having a group identity and suffering from victim psychology (particularly Christian victims) through hostility towards the Turks. The mere common legacy Diaspora Armenians inherited from their parents to develop ethnical group (congregation) identity is Turkish hostility. And as the whole thing is illusory for the second generation of Armenians and their descendants who have never been to Turkey and even seen a Turk before in their lives, it is even easier to extend further the dimensions of the Turkish hostility and build an identity out of it.
So, it would be useful to keep in mind all these possibilities while examining the works of Armenian authors.
(…) Krikor Ceyhan's story book "Seferberlik Oykuleriyle Buyudum" [I was grown up with mobilization stories] is his first book published in Turkish. In his work, the author tells us in his local dialect about what had happened in Zara in the early years of the Republic and his own experiences. The book sporadically refers to the mobilization, though covertly, and in a way, blames the mobilization for the later consequences. These hints are mostly conveyed to the reader through the mother character. This may be because the author himself did not live through the migration. Therefore, it is observed that the author learnt about the exile and migration through narration by his family members, in other words through oral history and conveys what he has learnt to the readers. For instance, the mother Hafik sometimes refers to the years of mobilization in her songs and lullabies in the story and tells that they lost everything they had because of the migration.
Another theme used in Ceyhan's story develops around certain implications that several Armenian children were orphaned due to the migration, some others were adopted by Muslim families and the rest made unwanted marriages with people hardly a match for them and were forced to convert.
A similar theme can be seen in the work titled "My Grandma" and written by Fethiye Cetin. In this work, Cetin generally explains that during the years of exile, "women as well as children were subjected to many inhuman treatments, men were brutally killed, those women who were beautiful were dragged by their hair and most of the children were adopted by Muslims". However, while these claims are included in this work, there is no mentioning of the then war conditions, of the activities carried out by the Armenian committees during that period or of the Armenians cooperating with the Russian armies. Moreover, the reason for the then leaders to take the decision of relocation, those who were subjected to relocation as well as the laws issued to be implemented during the relocation and the then war conditions are all known to everyone; however, the reason for the writer to write down this work, which we can say is a work of intense propaganda, without considering all these facts creates question marks in the mind of the reader.
Another message which Ceyhan sends to the reader in the story on exile and migration is that the exile caused the Armenian families to get separated and migration affected them negatively in economic terms.
The work titled "My Grandma" is about the families which were separated due to the relocation and the events experienced by the family members. Cetin wrote this work upon what his grandmother Seher had told him, and this work explains the shock experienced by the writer upon learning that his grandmother's real name was Heranus.
Ceyhan suggests that the economic effect created by the exile on his family was that his father lost his job due to migration and that the economic problems of the family increased in time.
(…) The writer explains why his family was sent to exile by drawing on what his mother had told him, and again based on what his mother had told him, he says that his family was sent to exile to Der Zor for hiding those Armenians escaping the relocation, that many members of the family lost their lives during this travel, and that the family who returned to Zara after many years was again subjected to exile for hiding those running away from the relocation.
Cetin, on the other hand, explains that everyone, regardless of whether they had committed any crimes or participated in any insurgency against the Ottoman Empire, was sent to exile, and he explains the difficulties of this travel in detail.
Another issue which Ceyhan mentioned was the fact that the exile affected the psychologies of the family members in a negative way and as a result there emerged certain tensions among the family members. The writer says that his mother did not trust his father for hiding those running away from the relocation and for this reason there always was a tense atmosphere in the house.
(…) Cetin as well as the other writers explained repeatedly that the family members who got separated due to the exile and migration never came together again.
(…) As it is known, the verbal history stands where the individual history meets the social history. And Cetin has made use of this method of verbal history in the work he wrote. However, it is observed that the verbal historical data in Cetin's work involve certain information other than our historical information. While the historical information is given in a more general manner, the information explained through verbal history makes use of the memory as well or it is possible to deal with it in a more detailed manner when there emerges an issue related with the individual's own past.
As one can see, literary works are important sources of communication since they reflect the language, religion, education, social lives and cultures of societies. Furthermore, if we take into consideration that literary works are a window from which cultures open out, it becomes clear that they act as a bridge. For this reason, while literary works introduce their own cultures to other countries, they can also criticize the cultures of other countries. These interactions are realized through images. In other words, it seems that political, economic, cultural, religious and historical issues play a significant role in the formation of the image.
Based on the information received during this study, one can say that image has a strong function in societies' perceiving one another. It was found out that especially the images created in literary works play an important role in improving or breaking off the dialogue among the societies. We can also see the role of literature, which addresses a wide society and contributes significantly to the formation of a social memory, in shaping the relationship between the minority and the majority. In this way, based on the themes of exile and migration mentioned by the writers of the works in question, it can be understood that the said individuals have made Turks alienated. It has also been found out that the perceptions of exile and migration by different writers of different periods have varied according to the economic, political and social structure of the period. There appears to be reaction in the works of the writers generally against the society and the imbalances in political, economic, religious and social relations. Another issue on which the writers focus while dealing with exile and migration is the need of the minority population to instinctively isolate itself from the society in which it lives.
(…) While examining the subject of exile and migration, one reaches a conclusion that as one gets closer to contemporary times, the discourse becomes more negative and the events taking place in the stories told become more tragic. Perhaps these discourses should be examined with their psychological dimensions. While the works written especially in the 1970s and 1950s did not deal with such detailed tragic deaths under the heading of exile and migration, a book printed in 2004 makes all the things, experienced during the 1915 incidents, appear more traumatic compared to the previous years, and this brings the psychological dimension of the issue onto the agenda once again.
For example, the mentioned work involves the following expressions: "they gathered everyone, men and women, and took them to Palu; they cut the men and threw them into the river; blood flowed with the river for many days and then the exile way..". As these expressions make it clear, the events which Heranus, the main character, did not actually witness were reflected as if they were experienced or the writer reached such a conclusion from what Heranus had told, and all these point to the psychological dimension of the issue.
(…) As a result, it is possible to say that in addition to World War I and relocation, naturally economic, political and social factors also had important contributions to the formation of the themes of exile and migration which are explained in the works of the Armenian writers. It seems that certain issues have a long lasting effect in the literature of societies and this continuing effect come out generally in the themes of "exile" and "migration" in the Armenian literature. It is known that today these themes are included in the works on the Armenian literature written not only in Turkey but also abroad. It is observed that in addition to this theme also the Turkish hatred is comprehensively mentioned in the literary works of the Armenians living abroad, and the Turks are in a way "alienated" in the mentioned works. Such an "alienation" of Turks through literature contradicts also with the nature of literature which undertakes the task of communication among societies. Given the character of literature of conveying the information of the past to us, we can see once again that the studies on this issue should be continued on a wider scale.

My recent piece proving that the Israeli government under Shimon Peres badly exploited Jonathan Pollard's intelligence and encouraged his continued incarceration led to a blizzard of mail and new information.
One intelligence insider verified most of my findings but disputed one. In fact, the Israeli government under Peres' successor as Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, did try to buy Pollard out of prison for a fair exchange.
The person who gave me the story is a retired London commodities broker, Aaron Goldman.
He sat in prison for three years as a result of an ill-fated plot to free Terry Waite, a Brit held hostage in Lebanon. He claims he was a victim of a Mossad sting, in retaliation for their broken promise to him, which led to still another American broken promise over Pollard.
I had a long conversation with Aaron, following which he faxed me 8 pages of documents verifying his story. These included an airfare receipt from Salzburg on the day he claimed he was there arranging one of the great intelligence capers of the century; and a Tel Aviv Hilton hotel memo signed by the Mossad agent he claims betrayed him.
Goldman wrote a book describing his journeys into the netherworld of covert operations called Forbidden Yesterday under the nom de plume of Johnny Lancaster. He insists all stock was bought out by the Mossad and his publisher persuaded not to reprint. But he does have a site to look at: www.forbiddenyesterday.co.uk
This is the letter he sent me. You're not going to understand it, but I'll sort it out after you've looked at it:
It is lesser known that on August 9th 1985, a London born Jew, (later code-named 'Johnny Lancaster' by Mossad), a branded Jeans import-exporter turned entrepreneur, whom by God's will or chance was invited to Israel's London Embassy by a Mossad Agent (Alon) posing as an Agricultural Attacheé.
'Johnny Lancaster' left the Israeli embassy naively agreeing to help Israel gain an edge to trade in West Africa by recruiting a well-placed West German associate (AB) The deal was confirmed with Mazel un Brocheh, a most revered and cherished binding Hebrew promise affirmed with a handshake, which according to learned Rabbi was handed down from God to Abraham.
The London Embassy meeting led to Munich, Salzburg and the infiltration of Germany's largest exporter of electronics weapons and 'Operation Prairie Fire', the Pentagon's code name for the controversial naval-raid on Libya, the USA first encounter of smart-weapons, due to the well-placed West German who passed over the secret Libyan defence codes in Salzburg the 1st and 2nd February 1986 to Mossad agents.
It is little know that Caspar Weinberger secretly met with his Israeli counterpart Ehad Barak prior to 'Operation Prairie Fire'..The far-reaching meeting/agenda remains unpublished despite the US Supreme Court ruling for them to be dislosed. Consequently, the America Sixth Fleet picked up the gauntlet for the Free World to cross Gadaffi's self-imposed 'Line of Death' in the Gulf of Sidra 24th March 1986 to curb terrorism.
It is well known that Mossad keep their most successful operations secret. To this day Mossad have not claimed credit for their part in covertly securing the Libyan defence secrets when breaching German and Austrian Sovereignty: 1st & 2nd Feb 1986 and prior to. Is it because Israel traded them for Jonathan Pollard spying, not to be cut off from all military and monetary aid by the USA, which enabled the US Sixth Fleet to cross Gadaffi's battle-ready 'Line of Death' without fear of loss of ship, plane nor man from the Hi-Tec German installed defence system of the day? It is also little known: that the American Sixth Fleet jammed the Libyan defence system and homed-in the F1-11 bombers that took off from the UK to bomb Tripoli and Benghazi the follow April.
One wonders at the historical raid's, gagging order that swept the the action of the President Reagan under the carpet to allow the long-arm of the USA to be forgotten/not realised. Possibly the 'Eleventh' would not have happened if 'Operation Prairie Fire' had been proclaimed from the top of the Twin Towers instead of being swept under the carpet to appease and to cover-up the truth?
Further, it is known to but a few, that Johnny Lancaster perused the broken promise in the Holy Land when he met with a ranking Mossad officer (MP, Alon's direct boss) in the Tel Aviv Hilton late December 1986 and Ist January 1987 when and where the Mossad officer revealed that Israel was obliged to trade the secret Libyan defence codes for the indiscretions of Jonathan Pollard so Israel would not to be cut off of all military and monitory aid by the USA.
It is lesser known still, that Mossad blatantly duped and reneged on the deal thrice sealed by Mazel un Brocheh and indeed thrice threatened the naïve 'Johnny Lancaster' life: but settled on setting him up to go to jail..
Seventeen years on, Jonathan Pollard remains in jail regardless of the agreed plea bargaining with the US Government and the World-wide call and indeed a British MP for Jonathan Pollard's release.
Now, I'll try and explain what happened. I spoke with Aaron at length and took notes. But I'm still not entirely comfortable with all the facts. Aaron has sent me his book and that should do the trick. Meanwhile, this is what I gleaned from our conversation:
BC: So how did you get involved in a Mossad operation?
AG: I was a commodities broker dealing in residue oil contracts and I had contacts all over Europe. I had one contact in Yugoslavia who mentioned he befriended a real character at Siemens in Germany named Alex Becker. The guy installed the radio air defence systems for Nigeria and Libya and knew their codes. He was a miserable alcoholic and was shooting off his mouth about that.
I told the story to Uri Raz, a friend and neighbour and he arranged a meeting at the Israeli embassy with someone named Alon, who claimed he was an agricultural attache. This was in August '85. He was highly interested and the talks began. In the end it was agreed I would get $5 million to be divided between Becker, my Yugoslavian contact and me. My cut was $1.2 million. We shook on it.
In December '86, I met with Becker in Salzburg. He gave me the Libyan radio frequencies and codes and I gave him his check. I flew back to London to get my share and Alon suddenly didn't know me. An intermediary, Manny Levy, told me the name of the game was not to pay me.
BC: Is there anyone to turn to when this happens?
AG: Remember, I wasn't entirely helpless. I had first hand evidence that the Mossad breached the sovereignty of the UK, Germany and Austria. I had a few high cards. So I flew to Tel Aviv and met a Mossad officer there, Michael Perry. I'll fax you his signature on a hotel memo. He told me that since Pollard was caught, the Mossad was forbidden to pay foreign nationals. It was politically too hot. He was sorry but I was out.
Then he told me what was done with the codes. Ehud Barak was given them and told to fly to Washington to meet Caspar Weinberger. Remember, Barak was Peres' damage-control man from the day Pollard was captured. He was on the first flight to Washington. He cut a deal with Weinberger: the codes for Pollard. It was Israel's way of saying sorry and Weinberger took the offer.
Next month a nightclub is blown up in Berlin and American servicemen are killed. The US traces the bombing to Libya and in March they launch two air raids on Tripoli. They kill Khaddafi's adopted daughter and almost get him. In retaliation, Libya blew up Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. So my little operation had consequences I never imagined, nor wanted.
And for all that, I wasn't paid and my handlers split the money. They all bought new flats when they were done with me. And Weinberger betrayed Barak and kept Pollard in prison. Both sides were crooks and Pollard and I were the main victims.
BC: Have you told this to anyone else?
AG: I contacted Esther Pollard and she cold-shouldered me. I'll fax you her letter. She actually writes that my medicine might be worse than the cure, whatever that means. I was flabbergasted at her refusal to take advantage of my information. Then I turned to John Butterhill, a Member of Parliament who is Vice Chairman of the Free Pollard Committee here. He told me there is no working with this Esther Pollard and he had given up trying. But she had made herself the only channel to Jonathan Pollard, so it was futile for me to reveal my information through her organization. I have documented proof of Pollard's betrayal and it's in the American government records that are being sealed by court order. If that order could be challenged, we'd have the proof that the American Secretary Of Defense promised the Israeli government to free Pollard in return for the Libyan codes and frequencies and then reneged on its promise. That should be enough to set Pollard free.
The official Pollard committee is attacking me, mostly over a typo. Maariv exposed that Pollard was sitting for Aldrich Ames' crimes in
1995 not '85. Corrected. They are claiming the Haaretz expose of Esther Pollard was libelous and a suit pends in a Jerusalem court. After seven years it's still pending? Everything in the report by Ronen Bergman was accurate and no suit will ever take place.
I have an enormous stock of personal testimony, much from journalists, verifying the Bergman report. Here is a tiny fraction of the correspondence, unedited for your critical appraisal:
P.S. Esther Pollard spoke in our R&B lecture series at the Israel Center way back in 1997 or 1998, I don't remember if I approached the Pollard people or they approached me. Afterwards, someone in their group/s "borrowed" my R&B email list which I accidentally exposed in one R&B mailing by putting in the cc., rather than bcc. column. I started getting angry messages from R&B subscribers demanding to know why I had sold my R&B email list to the Pollard people. I confronted Esther about this (in MY usual undiplomatic, pepper way), SHE freaked out (as usual, no one can ever admit anything or lose face, right?) Since then I have been on Esther's Public Enemy List (how simple it would have been if Esther had said, "Sorry, you are right. Someone in our organization did this, and I don't know who it is"). But it did not end that way.
Shalom, I would like to say that I know for a fact that there are lies contained within this document. In particular the saying that PC's did not exist in
1985. I was in the Army then and working with classified and other information used PC's myself at work to ascertain information and to pass it along.
And Aaron, you must admit that any woman who marries a man who is serving a life sentence is a bit off. It is a well known phenonema that certain types of women read magazines that show off men in prison and they marry them even with life terms. Perhaps you are not aware that there are benefits these women get, besides attention, from the US Government. And although I am not an advocate of releasing Jonathan, I do think he would have been let out years ago if Esther would have kept her big mouth shut.
I have actually emailed with Esther regarding some of the untruths on her J4P website.
One untruth was regarding his medical care. I know people who actually tried to get him the so called much needed medical attention she claims he needs, but the help was refused. Besides outside help, the Federal Prison system has good medical care. I had occasion once to be in a federal hospital that also housed federal inmates in need of care. I was in the same SICU with one and there were a number of others on the floor in regular rooms. The guy with me got the same quality care I did. The big difference is they have to be guarded and some shackled because they were a danger to others or of escape.
My only experience with 'Mrs.' Pollard was when I arranged an interview with her for Jerusalem Post Radio.
After the interview she requested a copy of the raw material, which we gave her with the understanding that she would not publish it. She went ahead and published it, unedited, the next day.
After complaining to her and receiving no reply, we decided, first, to drop the interview and not broadcast it and second, not to interview her in the future.
You can add me to the list of Pollard advocates and activists who was treated unappreciatively by Esther. I wrestle with myself, on the one hand to continue to be a high-profile advocate for Pollard --in my personal case to be sticking my neck out and likely putting myself in personal jeopardy
(according to the late Rehavam Ze'evi, since the disclosures of my work in US intelligence that could help Pollard's case are sensitive in the extreme)-- or just bowing out of the fight on Pollard's behalf. Her abrasiveness and border-line disdain for many who have given so much of themselves on Jonathan's behalf has in my opinion certainly caused his case damage. Yet, she has single-mindedly made efforts on his behalf, whether ultimately they may be shown to have been misguided, that are super-human. Does the damage she's caused outweigh the benefit of her efforts, I can't answer.
Law/Feature: POLLARDS TURN DOWN CHANCE TO MEET WITH SENATOR MOYNIHAN'S SENIOR AIDE WHO SAYS HE WANTS TO HELP THEM
by Susan Rosenbluth [firstname.lastname@example.com]
Editor and Publisher, Jewish Voice & Opinion;
TEANECK, NEW JERSEY, April 2, 2000) While Esther and Jonathan Pollard claim they will do anything to secure his release from prison, they have passed up what some observers say might be a golden opportunity to win important Congressional support.
David Luchins, a senior aide to Senator Pat Moynihan (D-NY) and a Vice-President of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of the United States, has asked to meet with one or both of them to offer his help. Although it is no secret that Dr. Luchins also has the ear of First Lady and NY Senatorial candidate Hillary Clinton, the Pollards unceremoniously refused.
In a written note of refusal, the Pollards accused Dr. Luchins of damaging words and actions. Mrs. Pollard said Dr. Luchins had used every opportunity he had been given, including meetings with Mr. Pollard's attorneys and family, to lie or to come back for another run at Jonathan.
She did not elaborate.
The arrogance problem is one that has visited Mr. Pollard many times. His first attorney, Richard Hibey, who was paid by the Israeli government and whom the Pollards accuse of failing to file a motion of intent to allow an appeal of his sentence, alluded to it in a court document.
In it, Mr. Hibey wrote: "Mr. Pollard has created a perception of arrogance that one in his predicament can ill afford to convey. However, he continued, what is one man's arrogance may be anothers naivete regarding the realities which confront him".
Mr. Hibey went on to suggest that Mr. Pollard's attitude toward his conduct and this case should be looked at through the prism of his passionate Zionism, his unmitigated hatred of terrorism and the communist ideology which supports it, and his genuine and continuing belief in America.
Mr. Hibey realized that even to detail those feelings might be looked upon as further evidence of Mr. Pollard's arrogance through political testament and harangue. However, he wrote, the facts of the case have never suggested that his ideological agenda was anything other than what he has consistently, albeit stridently, represented throughout.
While this adds nothing endearing to the personality of the man, in the context of a sentencing in a case such as this, it should not be counted so heavily against him, wrote Mr. Hibey.
Others agree, feeling that while the Pollards are annoying, rude, arrogant, and, some say, nuts, Mr. Pollard's case is still one that weighs heavily on the Jewish community.
That perception has been fostered by the Pollards themselves, who have made it clear that they believe the way Mr. Pollard has been treated by the governments of Israel and the U.S. is a reflection of how the entire Jewish community and every Israeli soldier and agent is perceived.
But when the Pollards refused to meet with Dr. Luchins, they told one of their staunchest supporters, who tried to convince Mrs. Pollard to attend, that with whom they meet was their concern alone.
Then they shouldn't look at the Pollard case as one that must concern the entire community, the supporter fumed. A few minutes later, he relented. "But he should still be free. Its just not fair", he said.
The Pollard's anger at Dr. Luchins seems to stem from a tactical disagreement, not from a philosophical one. Although the Pollards do not believe him, Dr. Luchins says he wants to help them work to secure Mr. Pollard's release.
One of their disagreements is whether or not Mr. Pollard should apply for parole. According to law, he was eligible for parole in 1995, but, according to Mrs. Pollard, legal parole experts, whom she refuses to name, advised them against doing so. Dr. Luchins and Mr. Moynihan say he should apply.
According to Dr. Luchins, a parole hearing for Mr. Pollard would be a combination of the trial he never had and a media event. Before he broke with them, Mr. Pollard would have enjoyed the extra benefit of attorneys such as Alan Dershowitz and Leonard Garment advising him (and, presumably, the media).
But Mrs. Pollard's experts told her they had learned (again from unnamed sources at the highest levels of the Justice Department) that should Mr. Pollard apply for parole, the case would be adjudicated in Washington. The experts told her that, in Washington, the parole board would invariably turn down Mr. Pollard's request and, what is worse, she says, they would certainly impose a 15-year set-aside, meaning that Mr. Pollard would not be allowed to request another parole hearing for at least 15 more years.
The parole experts further explained that once the parole board rules that the case is untouchable for another 15 years, every President over the next
15 years will use this as the excuse for not granting executive clemency either, says Mrs. Pollard.
Further, says Mrs. Pollard, her experts told her that parole boards look only at official file material and do not consider letters and petitions. Mr. Pollard's file, the experts said, contains nothing but negative recommendations from those government agencies with vested interests in keeping him in prison.
Dr. Luchins says the advice she has been given is nonsense, and all efforts to ascertain who Mrs. Pollard's experts were went unanswered.
By all accounts, in 1993, there was a chance for executive clemency, but Mr. Pollard may have botched it himself.
In March, 1993, Dr. Luchins arranged a meeting between Mr. Pollard and Rav Aaron Soloveichik in Mr. Pollard's prison cell in Marion, IL. The purpose was for Rav Soloveichik to discuss repentance with Mr. Pollard and help him formulate an appropriate letter which would be given to the then-new President Bill Clinton by Senators Moynihan and, perhaps, Joseph Lieberman (D-CT).
Dr. Luchins says there was reason to believe Mr. Clinton might have been willing to pardon Mr. Pollard after receiving a well-written letter of remorse.
According to all reports, in coming to see Mr. Pollard, Rav Soloveichik, who had recently been ill, braved a long trip and disgraceful treatment by the prison personnel. The guards took the elderly rabbi's walker from him because it would not go through the metal detector, causing him to walk painfully down long hallways and staircases. His suspenders were made of metal, and the guards, who referred to him as an old Jew, insisted he remove them as well.
During the course of their meeting, Rav Soloveichik, who is also an attorney, showed Mr. Pollard a letter he had written, in Mr. Pollard's name, expressing remorse and a new-found understanding of repentance. The letter explains that Mr. Pollard had been motivated by a sense of idealism, but that he allowed himself to be misled by his emotions. The letter says Mr. Pollard now knows that what he did was not only repugnant to American law, but was equally repugnant to G-ds Torah and natural law.
According to a source close to Mr. Pollard, Mr. Pollard said the letter was full of phrases he would not have used, and was not what he wished to say to the President. Mr. Pollard reportedly signed it only because he could not refuse Rav Soloveichik.
Jonathan described the old mans hand shaking, holding a pen, and pleading with him to sign it, said the supporter who asked for anonymity.
What happened next to the letter is a bit confusing. Mr. Pollard's supporter said that while he thought it would be a private communication between himself and the President, a copy of it was found on a desk at the Orthodox Union and then leaked to the Forward newspaper, which reported that Mr. Pollard was more remorseful than ever.
Mr. Pollard, the supporter said, is convinced Dr. Luchins was the conduit, but, the supporter said, except for the admission that what Mr. Pollard did was repugnant to the Torah he does not know why Mr. Pollard was so angry.
"He was especially upset at the 'repugnant to G-d's Torah' part. I told Jonathan if it helped him to get out, it didnt matter what the letter said, but, being an idealist, he couldnt live with it. I didn't understand Jonathan's position at the time, and I still dont", he says, adding that Mr. Pollard has expressed his remorse many times in his own language.
Others agree with the supporter. "Why didn't he let the letter stand and repudiate it after he was free?" wondered one official at a Jewish communal organization. After he was free, he could have called for a rabbinic panel in Jerusalem to discuss the matter.
Shortly after the fact of the letter was made public, Mr. Pollard, through Rabbi Avi Weiss, retracted the letter entirely. By that time, the letter was on Mr. Clinton's desk, and, according to reports, Mr. Pollard's repudiation was highly embarrassing for everyone involved, including Mr. Lieberman who, some say, was the one who handed Mr. Clinton the letter.
Dr. Luchins says he was very embarrassed by the whole incident.
For Mr. Pollard, perhaps the worst part has been that Dr. Luchins has discussed the details of the incident in public many times. Some observers believe that is what Mrs. Pollard means by Dr. Luchin's damaging words.
According to Mr. Pollard's supporter, Mr. Pollard has referred to the Soloveichik letter as one of the worst developments in the Pollard matter.
He said he learned from the episode that you shouldn't do something when you feel inside its wrong, the supporter said.
About a year later, there was a possibility that Rav Soloveichik would again get involved with Mr. Pollard, chiefly to write a letter indicating that he knew Mr. Pollard was remorseful, but nothing seems to have come of that.
In his request for a meeting last month, Dr. Luchins made it clear that the choice of venue would be Mrs. Pollards. She was also free, he said, to bring any and all of her supporters, and she would be under no constraints to accept any or all of his suggestions.
Although Dr. Luchins said he would be coming alone to this meeting, he hinted broadly that if things went well, there would be a possibility that, at a subsequent meeting, he might bring some politicians whose help could be crucial.
It did not matter to the Pollards, whose refusal to meet with Dr. Luchins was firm.
It is not the first time the Pollards have dismissed potential help from a politician. A few years ago, an influential Congressman whose pro-Israel record is beyond reproach, suggested, in a private conversation, a bill that might help Mr. Pollard.
The Congressman's bill would have said that, in cases such as Mr. Pollard's, in which there is reason to suspect the government did not live up to its end in a plea-bargain agreement, the defendant would have the right to a trial. Mr. Pollard entered into a plea-bargain with the government in which he was assured that, in exchange for pleading guilty, he would not suffer the maximum penalty, which he received anyway.
While Mr. Pollard seemed interested at first in the Congressman's suggestion, he soon seemed annoyed that the legislator would not come to see him in person to discuss the matter. The Congressman's aide suggested that Mr. Pollards attorneys could come to his Capitol Hill office, but that, too, was not acceptable to Mr. Pollard.
One of Mr. Pollard's messages to the Congressman said that he (Mr. Pollard) did not have time to deal with people who did not take him seriously.
It seems to me that all you do have is time, the aide told him, closing the book on the idea.
Shalom from Teaneck,

Apple's service document acknowledges some 27-inch iMacs shipped between December 2012 and July 2014 may be affected by an issue with the display hinge, resulting in the screen no longer adjusting and continuously tilting forward. The issue appears to be limited to late 2012 and late 2013 models in particular.
The hinge problem is blamed on the use of plastic washers in the hinge's spring mechanism. Over time the washers can break under the load and cause the screen to fall forward.
Check out the video below to see the issue demonstrated and contact Apple support if you have the problem or have paid to fix the problem in the past.
