Losing the ability to speak the language of your native country can be a fear for any expat parent that moves abroad, especially when children are young.
But can you forget a language? The general consensus is that yes, it is possible: children can experience complete language attrition, linguistic term that defines the weakening or loss of a language.
However, recent research has shown that adults maintain remnants of languages thought lost. One Swedish study showed that adults who had left their native countries at a young age—and had seemingly lost the ability to speak their mother tongues—performed better in phonetic testing in their mother tongues than those who acquired the language later, despite having had similar language training as adults. Yet another study showed that Chinese children adopted in France who no longer spoke their native languages still processed language similarly to bilingual children, despite being monolingual French speakers at the time of testing.
In other words, once you learn a language, the stage in your brain is set—and you cannot dismantle it.
But even though a mother tongue cannot ever truly be forgotten, the American International School of Rotterdam, an international school specialising in multilingual proficiency for its students, has tips to help expat children to retain and improve their native languages—and, as a result, their culture.
Speak your mother tongue at home to encourage native language retention
Expat parents coming to a new country such as the Netherlands may feel the need to completely immerse themselves in their new language—therefore speaking Dutch as much as possible—while parents of two different nationalities may have adopted a third language in which to converse at home.
However, continuing to speak your native language with your children vastly improves their ability to maintain a grasp on the language and a connection to their culture and country. This can be especially useful when children attend an international school, whose language of instruction—often English—may differ from the language of the country in which you reside.
Enrol your child in a school that offers mother-tongue education
The language of many international schools in the Netherlands is English; for children whose native language is neither English nor Dutch, this pushes their native language to third place in level of "importance" in terms of linguistics.
Only some international schools in the Netherlands have begun offering programmes in students' native languages to embrace mother tongue education, a concept promoted by international organisations such as UNESCO. Mother tongue education at an international school allows children to maintain their skills in their first language, which can improve cognitive development and create a language-learning foundation upon which children can build.
Mother tongue education has shown additional benefits beyond language learning; children learn better overall and improve their social skills when the language of instruction is their native language.
Use media to your advantage
Some parents do not approve of sitting a child down in front of the television; however, media can be a great tool in assisting the retention of a native language. Some studies have shown that media, especially educational television programmes, can help children aged two and older learn new words. Children younger than two require interaction in order to learn—and that is where other media comes in.
Music has long been regarded as a great addition to the classroom. Teach your children lullabies, nursery rhymes and children's songs from your native country—even better if there are clapping games to go along with them! Not only do songs help teach sounds to children, the interaction of these games, along with the repetitive tunes, will make speaking your native language more fun and less of a chore.
Spend time in your native country
It may be an expensive language lesson, but one of the best ways to learn a language—and retain it—is through immersion, according to various studies. Bringing your children back to your native country (during longer school breaks) will not only expose them to their native languages in a more natural setting, but it will also help them reconnect with their culture.
Finally, do not get frustrated
It is important to ensure that learning and speaking your native language is a positive and fun experience. There is an abundance of resources that advocate the one parent-one language (OPOL) strategy for parents of bilingual children; while it has proven beneficial, parents should not take it too far. Do not ignore your children if they speak to you in the "undesired" language. Children should associate their mother tongue with happiness—not with fear, anger or embarrassment.
After a few years of living as an expat, if you notice that your children are beginning to lose touch with their native language(s), have no fear: the aforementioned studies also showed that adults who "completely" lost the ability to speak their native languages were able learn them again later much more quickly. Although you can never truly lose a mother tongue, you can certainly take steps to ensure that it never fades.

Maybe it was the midwinter cold. Or maybe it was the chipped ice, or even the jovial atmosphere among the fans.
Whatever the reason, the Rangers and the Devils played a game of old-fashioned pond shinny in the Bronx on Sunday.
The Rangers won, 7-3, scoring six straight goals to secure the victory. But the enduring memory will be of blue-clad Rangers fans and red-clad Devils fans — an announced crowd of 50,105 — under a light snowfall at the first hockey game at Yankee Stadium.
"It was just a great day," Rangers Coach Alain Vigneault said. "I know we won, and it's easy to say after you've won it, but it was an unbelievable atmosphere, and I'm really fortunate to have been part of one of these."
The Rangers' seven goals — their highest total against the Devils in a regular-season game since 1993 — were the most scored by an N.H.L. team in an outdoor game.
That helped the Rangers improve to 2-0 in outdoor games, with a victory at Philadelphia in the 2012 Winter Classic. They will have a chance to further improve their record when they play the Islanders at the Stadium on Wednesday night.
Mats Zuccarello led the Rangers' attack with two goals, and Anton Stralman and Marc Staal, a defensive pairing, each had a plus-4 differential.
The Devils were making their first appearance in the elements, and goalie Martin Brodeur was chased from the net. He was replaced by Cory Schneider — the first in-game goaltending change the Devils have made all season.
Brodeur may not remember the afternoon in quite the same way as the Rangers. Facing 21 shots in his 40 minutes, he allowed six goals, the most the Rangers had scored on him in their 100 regular-season games against him. But Brodeur still found positives in the experience.
"The atmosphere and the mixed fan colors — the aura of it all was special," he said. "The whole thing was unbelievable, beside the hockey game."
Coach Peter DeBoer said Brodeur requested that he be replaced so that Schneider could have "the experience of a period in this environment."
The start of the game was delayed some 40 minutes because of the glare of the sun off the ice surface. But by the opening face-off, at 1:41 p.m., the sky was overcast, with the temperature at 24 degrees.
Play was held up twice in the first period for ice repairs, and the puck bounced constantly, with players struggling to control it.
The Devils jumped to a 3-1 lead in the first period, with Patrik Elias scoring twice and Travis Zajac once and Jaromir Jagr collecting two assists. That gave Jagr 1,035 career assists, lifting him above his old Pittsburgh Penguins mentor Mario Lemieux into 10th place on the N.H.L.'s list.
Devils fans were roaring, but 52 seconds after the team's third goal, Brodeur allowed a Staal shot from a bad angle to trickle between his pads, cutting the Rangers' deficit to 3-2.
Snow started to fall lightly as the second period began, and 2 minutes 48 seconds in, the Rangers pulled even as a John Moore pass bounced into the Devils' net off the left skate of Zuccarello.
The Devils crumbled, allowing several two-on-one and three-on-one breaks. Zuccarello scored on a three-on-one, and then Carl Hagelin scored, and then Rick Nash scored to make it 6-3 at the second break.
Derek Stepan closed out the scoring in the third period, beating Schneider on a penalty shot.
The victory was the Rangers' first over the Devils in four meetings this season.
"Most of the time when we play these guys, there's no room," Staal said. "But they tried to press in the second period, and we caught them almost every time and made them pay."
Rangers forward Brad Richards said: "If you would have asked me before the game what the score would be, I would have said 1-0 or 2-1. It just works out this way sometimes."
Goalie Henrik Lundqvist, wearing special pinstriped pads for the occasion, recovered from early troubles in making 19 saves.
"I'm not going to lie: When they scored the third one, I had a bad feeling about it," Lundqvist said. "My first thought was, Am I going to be able to finish this game?"
The game was important for both teams in the Eastern Conference's jammed Metropolitan Division. The Devils, who began the day tied for fifth in the division with 55 points, would have drawn even with the Rangers if they had won in 60 minutes. Instead, the Rangers kept their hold on second, opening a 4-point lead on the Devils.
Even though the game was played in New York, the Devils were designated the home team, perhaps in part because the Madison Square Garden Company could lose its property tax exemption if the Rangers were to play as the home team anywhere outside the Garden.
The Devils wore their home reds (although with green trim and green pants, their original uniforms), their organist played, and their goal song blared over the public-address system when they scored. With the Rangers' victory, though, road teams have gone 8-1-1 in N.H.L. outdoor games.
The Rangers will also be the designated visitors when they play the Islanders on Wednesday.
Commissioner Gary Bettman attended both Sunday's game at Yankee Stadium and the Kings-Ducks game Saturday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. He lauded the events, set in "two wild extremes of climate."
"The games were spectacular, the images were unforgettable, and the sheer energy our sport creates was unmistakable," Bettman said.

It had been another long week living at good ole Slappie's. With Veronica gone, Slappie had been stuck to me like gum on a shoe. It was annoying to say the least.
So when I came home to find a strange girl alone and crying in Slappie's bed I was actually relieved.
I tiptoed into Slappie's bedroom dungeon and peeked my head around the corner. "Hi, do you mind if I shower in here?" I asked the strange girl.
"No, it's fine. You must be Asterisk, my name is Becky. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you," she apologized Inbetween sobs.
"You aren't bothering me. What's wrong?" I empatheticly asked.
"I just found out that I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do," she confessed. "I'm homeless right now and Slappie is letting me crash here for a while."
"Oh wow. Are you going to have the baby?"
"No! I want to have an abortion but I'm too far along! I'll have to have a second term abortion and Slappie told me it was really painful and that I could die! She's been scaring me all day! She told me that I'm a horrible person and she's been lecturing me about birth control! I didn't even think I could get pregnant!"
"Wow, well how many weeks along are you?"
"I don't know!"
I sat down on the bed, "Okay when was your last period?"
"May tenth. But my period is never regular. I skip them all the time."
I opened my calendar, "Hmm that puts you at 14 weeks. I suggest you go to planned parenthood in the morning, you are right on the verge of second term."
"I already called them! The lady said I was too far along for a regular abortion!" Becky cried.
"Listen, just go down there and lie. Tell then your period was on the following week. They will have to do an ultrasound anyway to determine the size of the fetus before they preform the surgery."
That seemed to mellow her out a bit.
"Even if you have to do a second term abortion, it's still early in the pregnancy. They will give you pain medication. You will be okay, don't listen to Slappie, she's a little," I paused for a second to find the right word, 'off.'"
"She was telling me all day what a terrible person I am and accusing me of using abortion as a form of birth control. She is a fucking nut, isn't she?"
I nodded in agreement then let out a sigh, "That's not cool Becky. What you need right now is support, not judgement."
"I don't care what Slappie says about you Asterisk. You are a nice person."
I got up and took my shower. When I was through, Becky was still in the bed in tears.
"Do you still want to talk?" I asked my new friend.
"You want a beer?" I offered.
"No thanks."
I went down stairs and grabbed myself a Bud Light then spent the majority of the evening counseling Becky. Once she was calmer, I handed her a copy of my book and told her it would make her laugh and keep her occupied while she was there. Then I went to bed.
She never did read it.
The next morning I got up and ready for work. I was just pouring my morning coffee when Slappie joined me in the kitchen.
"Becky is pregnant!" she announced.
"Yes I know. I talked to her about it last night."
"She's fucking irresponsible, right?" she asked me.
"It happens Slappie," I defended Becky. "I had an abortion when I was 19 so I can't judge anyone."
"You were 19. Okay? Becky is 28, right? She should know better! Abortion is not a form of birth control! I would never have one! Okay? I told Becky she needs to use condoms EVERYTIME! Huh?"
"Look Slappie, I think what Becky needs right now is support. Maybe cut back on the lecture until it's over?"
"She needs to be responsible! This isn't her first abortion, okay?"
"Really? That's strange. Then why did she tell me she had no idea what to do?" I wondered aloud. I looked over to Slappie, "I gave her a list of resources last night and explained the easiest way to go about it. I advised her to make a trip to planned parenthood this morning."
"I'm gonna take her! That's why I'm up right now. Huh?"
"That's great! Let me know how it goes. I'm late for work."
I scurried out of the condo and made the long trek to the salon.
A few days later Becky had the procedure. Slappie escorted her to the hospital and once it was over and she was able to leave, brought her back to the condo to recover.
The following morning, Becky developed a slight fever.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her.
"Not good," she admitted.
"I don't want to scare you, but if you are a running a fever you need to go to the hospital. That's the first sign something is wrong and it can be dangerous," I warned.
"I'll be fine! Last time I ran a fever too and the nurse told me it was normal."
I pulled out my phone and looked it up, I was right. Immediately, I sent the link over to Becky to prove my point but she wasn't convinced.
"You know what Slappie did? Once I was let out of surgery, she took me to the store to buy condoms before bringing me home! Can you believe that?"
"What a cunt," I mumbled.
"She was complaining about you the entire time. She said that you were upset she ate your food after you told her she could have it and that you are an alcoholic."
"I told her she could have SOME of the food not all of it! And I like to drink, so what?" I defended myself.
"I kinda don't blame you about the drinking," she admitted.
I checked on Becky later that evening and her temperature had gone up.
"Here," I said, placing a frozen rag on her head, "Hopefully this will take your fever down a bit. You really need to go to the hospital," I warned her once again. "I'm really worried about you."
"I will in the morning," she promised.
I kept an eye on her most of the night and continued to change out her cold compress inbetween beers. Slappie went to work but checked in via text. Becky's sickness only got worse and the following morning Slappie finally convinced her to go in. As it turned out, the doctor hadn't finished the procedure correctly and there were still birthing fragments left inside of poor Becky. She had to have a second procedure to complete the abortion.
Becky made a fast recovery and just hours after surgery, she was released.
Slappie left to retrieve her and about ten minutes later I received the phone call.
"Asterisk!" I heard Slappie's familiar voice on the other end. "I need you to come get Becky! 'Cough' I'm being admitted into the hospital!"
"What? YOU are being admitted? Why?" The news had caught me off guard.
"I'm having an asthma, 'cough' attack, 'cough, cough' I can't breathe!"
….and there it was folks! Slappie could no longer handle NOT
being the center of attention. She decided to steal the medical thunder away from little Becky.
I jumped in my car and drove the two miles to the local hospital. There standing on the front stoop was a drugged, half lucid Becky. Her eyeliner smudged under her eyes and the back of her hair in knots. She was wearing a hospital gown, leggings, slippers and just one sock.
Guess who was sitting in the wheel chair?
That's right, our own laughable, middle aged stripper. Slappie!
"Asterisk! Over here, 'cough, cough'!" Slappie screamed, her voice echoing through the corridor. There was an annoyed nurse standing behind the wheelchair with her hands grasping the handle as Slapperoo breathed into a paper bag pretending to be hyperventilating.
I ignored her and immediately ran over to Becky. "Here, let's get you into the car!" I opened the passenger door and helped her to sit down.
"Slappie's car, you have to move it…" she mumbled. "My stuff. I need my stuff. Everything is blurry. Hello Mr. Cloud…" Becky mumbled, trailing off.
"Asterisk! You have to move my truck! The keys are inside! 'Cough'," Slappie demanded.
I took my own car into the parking garage and left Becky inside sitting on the passenger seat while I walked all the way back to the front of the hospital to fetch Slappie's truck. I moved it over to the parking area as well, though I didn't find a spot even remotely close. Once it was parked I had to walk back to the parking garage. Becky was still in the car babbling nonsense. The only part I could make out was she needed her things and they were still in Slappie's truck.
Slowly, I drove my car over to where I had parked the truck. Once stopped, I went to fetch Becky's belongings.
I peered inside the window and was shocked to find the biggest cow print suitcase I had ever seen. Still, I opened the door and attempted to pull it out. The damn thing must have weighed as much as a stupid cow. What the hell did she have in there? It took all I had to get it out and loaded into my car. I looked at Becky's small frame and couldn't begin to imagine her even lifting it. No way was I carrying it upstairs to the bedroom.
The last thing I did before driving back home was return Slappie her car keys.
By that evening, Becky was lucid again. Slappie decided that she was going to stay the night in the hospital, you know, to suck up as much sympathy from as many people as possible.
I didn't humor her one bit. Actually I pretty much ignored her. Instead, of staying sober and waiting to see if she needed a ride I decided to open a bottle of wine and Becky joined me.
We stayed up all night laughing. I cooked us a seafood stew which I knew would piss off Slappie (I wasn't allowed to cook meat on her stove) and I used the hair color I bought for Slappie to touch up Becky's roots. Why it wasn't until the sun came up that we went to sleep.
Somewhere around 9:00 am the hypochondriac made it home.
I didn't hear the door slam, I didn't hear her stomp up the stairs. It was in the middle of a screaming lecture that I awoke.
"Fucking bitch! I can't believe you didn't answer my text! I had to make my ex husband come all the way from LA to drive me home from the hospital today!" she yelled at me from the bedroom door.
"You were supposed to drive me home!" she continued.
My mouth was a desert and my head was spinning. There was no way I was getting up this early. I had only been asleep a few hours, I still had a hang over to sleep off.
"I left you your keys, why didn't you drive yourself?" I questioned.
"What? I can't drive! I just got released from the hospital! Are you going to take me to pick up my truck now or what? Huh?"
I was half asleep and partially drunk, but still that bitch wasn't making any sense.
"You couldn't drive ten minutes ago, but you can drive now?" I asked.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she stormed out of the room.
That turned out to be my last day living there but alas, that's another story!

text: ninadebarro 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 I am in search of a translucent clay body. It is my understanding that porcelain is the best (only) clay to achieve this. I am making luminaries with hard slabs. I was considering using Grolleg Kaolin and am researching Frost as an alternative. My main concern is a clay that lends itself to hard slab techniques. I'm also interested in firing at cone 10 or lower, preferably cone 6. Would firing a high fire porcelain at cone 6 affect the translucency, make it less translucent if fired lower than cone 10?

Salaam Maharashtra once again! This time with Cabernet Sauvignon from Four Seasons Winery, a project of the Bouvet-Ladubay Empire and the actual Indian owner of B-L, in Pune District. Besides the Maharati Cabernet I had a triumvirate of Sociando–Mallet wines from three different decades.
Four Seasons Ritu Barrique Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Maharashtra
The Ritu (Sanskrit for "Season") appeared to be very dark red-black in its core, faint and on its rim pretty brown'ish. The bouquet was dominated by extremely strong scents of Virginia tobacco, mediocre quality, and fresh Chesterfield cigarette smoke. In the second line I spotted scents of black earth, black pepper, red paprika powder, hints of motor oil and quite a load of pulpy dark cherries. Not a very fruitful impression. At first its taste was very earthy and tobacco'y! After a couple of hours a stronger fruit impression of dark and slightly too sweet cherries evolved. Anyway the strong tobacco component remained throughout the whole evening. Its body and volume wasn't highly concentrated, but contenting. Its finish was okay and the acid seemed to be well proportionate. The harmony of the flavour pattern was a bit to much imbalanced by the very strong baccy-style. Anyway a very drinkable and very surprising Cabernet Sauvignon from tropical India! Good for tobacco quitters ;-)
Chateau Sociando-Mallet 1988, Haut-Médoc
Somehow it was still alive! Hooray! Very light and bright classical colour! The nose was still expressive and really sophisticated. I got scents of violets, other flowery impressions, some strawberries and even mild smoke. Overall it seemed to be very well aged and showed off with its very delicate-elegant nose. The taste might have been a bit too delicate (or overage). There were hints of bright red fruits and some tannic life left. But really not a lot though! Anyway a very nice experience of a very classical (and not so much alive) Médoc growth!
Epilog: On the second day far more interesting, harmonious and gently-subtle-expressive! Pretty surprising!
Epilog: On the second day far more interesting, harmonious and gently-subtle-expressive! Pretty surprising!
Chateau Sociando-Mallet 1996, Haut-Médoc
A lot darker than the 1988 version! The nose was more expressive and more elegant! Predominant violets, some fruit, smoke, very fine hints of tar and some steeliness crawled into my nose. The taste was, as hoped and expected, far more alive! I got flavours of mild and elegant seeming red currant, dark cherries, mild and tamed smokiness, even hints of black olives and tobacco. The body proportion appeared to be very exemplary. By far not as light and bright as the 1988! The 1996 was in a very smooth and gentle condition, but gave me, a Happy-Bordeaux-Layman, the impression: Don't keep it for longer in your cellar! No sense in it. Can't get better!
Chateau Sociando-Mallet (JG) 2004, Haut-Médoc
Far too young and obviously far more modern in style than the older editions! The colour was very dark, almost as red-black as the Indian Cabernet, and totally intransparent. The nose was slightly stinky, a bit oily and rather reserved. The taste was very dense, concentrated, juicy, tannin-tamed, fruitful (a lot of dark cherries and cassis) and fleshy! A slight elegance shortage! Maybe!?! Compared to the older ones a totally different style! Very unexpected! Especially for a 2004 growth! I was more than just a bit shocked about the wine in my glass! Whatever, maybe not quite my shoe, but certainly there is no doubt about its quality – a good wine with a lot of firepower!

Tomorrow's business researchers must understand the complexity of modern services and leverage rapidly emerging innovations in science and engineering. Being able to conduct research through the lens of a service dominant (S-D) logic will give students a unified perspective of today's complex environment. PhD students from ISS can push the boundaries of research in the new field of service science or apply the service perspective to conduct innovative research in other established fields.
Today's leading organizations emphasize their need for interdisciplinary innovation. A PhD in service science allows students to deepen their existing expertise and while gaining know-how that lets the work with creative minds from other disciplines.
The rigorous PhD training at ISS will equip students to work at the cross-section of different disciplines, armed with the ability to critically analyze complex systems, and equipped with working knowledge of the latest emerging technologies. Students will explore new areas of research on service systems, while creating and managing innovative new services. Our integrative research, classes, and projects allow students to develop themselves in several areas:
Courses and Dissertation
Students are expected to complete a research dissertation and take 24 credits of courses in order to obtain the PhD degree.
All students are required to take the following core courses:
Students can take courses from Service Management, Design, and Engineering to fulfill the additional 12 needed credits.
Study Aboard
PhD students go abroad for at least half a year to experience another research environment and grow the joint research capabilities via international collaboration.
Financial and Living Support
The institute will provide full funding support in the first three years of doctoral study, and continue financial support based on research grants, in order to cover students' major expenses. International students can apply for several scholarships that include a tuition waiver and a monthly stipend.
Program Road Map
The PhD program at ISS is a four to five year program that trains students to be world-class service researchers. At the end of the program, students will be qualified to be tenure-track researchers in top-tier academic institutions or senior researchers in world-class organizations in industry. The PhD program helps students invest their time and effort in gaining the experiences needed for both directions.
Attend Service Workshops and Camps: Students have the opportunity to attend workshops to gain the latest service design and engineering techniques. Students can join retreats in natural settings that foster a humanistic perspective and develop innovative thinking. These opportunities improve students' ability to connect with

AMAT will develop their dialogue with elder within the context of the Transparent Boundaries Project through the performing arts, involving two artists responsible for two actions that will connect the realities of older people living in each of the partner countries.
AMAT (Associazione Marchgiana Attività Teatrali)
Marche's Regional Association for Theatrical Activities
Founded in 1976, AMAT is recognized and funded by MIBAC (Ministry of cultural heritage and cultural activities of the Italian State) and by the Marche Region Administration. Its role is scheduling, promoting and managing the theatrical activities of drama and dance, as well as non-formal education for common people (audience), in association with the local administrations (Town Councils, Provincial Administrations, the Urbino University "Carlo Bo"). AMAT works at regional, national and international levels, having as a key activity the NETWORKING in order to implement actions mainly concerning: theatre (drama and contemporary theatre); dance (ballet and contemporary dance); audiences' non-formal education (workshop and research projects); support to the creativity (artistic residencies and platforms such as matilde.nuovascenamarche.it); interdisciplinary projects (site-specific performances, community projects).
AMAT is the co-founder and partner for the Marche Region of the network Anticorpi XL that works for the development of creativity in the domain of contemporary dance (joining 26 Italian partners). AMAT has developed projects concerning the social use of the performing arts: in the last two years this action has been dedicated to youth with problems concerning social inclusion. AMAT is directed by Mr. Gilberto Santini, prof. of History of Theatre at the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo".
Further information concerning programs and projects available at:
FRANCESCA TILIO is an Italian photographer. Her camera becomes the medium for new artistic and expressive opportunities: Francesca usually directs it towards the search for the subject's soul. She works combining the theatrical experience, developed in during her teens, and with the visual sensibility that she has acquired as a graphic designer. Each photograph freezes her personal view of the world, recalling the atmospheres created by great Masters such as Cindy Sherman and Jeff Wall. For Transparent Boundaries, following her aesthetic taste, she will photograph the faces of men and women that use to go to the balera,the typical Italian ballroom frequented by older people. She says "I'm thinking about an old age not sad at all, a little bit glitzy, wrinkled faces but also hair dye, spangled dress, open neck shirt". She will realize "A Glance at Elders – photo folder".
ALESSANDRO SCIARRONI is a young Italian director who is investigating the 'stage mechanisms', the role of the audience and the one of the performer and the transparent boundaries between them. Sciarroni has recently conducted an experimental community project called Electric Youth involving a group of young people. He organized a workshop focusing on the exploration of the "younger world": the way of thinking, the contradictions, the experiences and all the possibilities the protagonists of the workshops have as young people. The result was a performance in which the young people were authors and actors at the same time, connecting at each occasion with a new audience. Starting from this kind of research, based both on the memory / personal experience of the participants and on the intention of investigate the boundaries between life and stage, Sciarroni will lead a workshop for the elder called Electric Elder, with a final performance. The workshop will involve not only the Italian but also the foreign elders living in the countries of the partners by means of new technology.
The choreographer GIULIO D'ANNA will be involved in a second phase of the Italian activity in which AMAT and UCA will investigate the theme of body as textile and textile as body. AMAT has chosen this artist because of his particular artistic research. Giulio D'Anna has felt the necessity to consider the creative process involved and impacting on the invitation to his Father to perform. His Father has Parkinson's disease and had never been involved at all in any performing process before being invited to take part in D'Anna's work Parkin'son. The projects originates from the desire to ideas around 'limitation' (the body's limit, the disease's limit and the age's limit) as a source of possibilities and the telling the two histories, the one of the father and his son, in the same way the lives of the illustrious people are told. Parkin'son aims to describe the exaltation of those moments which could be considered irrelevant to someone else, but that make the existence memorable.

NCAA Antitrust Trial Continues with Testimony from Pac-12 Commissioner
As part of the continuing NCAA antitrust action, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott took the stand on Tuesday, issuing a grave warning about the future of amateur sports if the judgment were to be awarded in the plaintiffs' favor.
Scott testified that any proposal to abandon the pay limit rules currently in place in the NCAA would "create significant consumer confusion," making it "murkier" for broadcasters and fans to understand the nature of collegiate sports. He also stated that lifting such pay limits would be a severe blow to academic institutions. Scott's statements support the previous testimony of Rebecca Blank, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who explained that the school could remove their athletics program if students were paid, stating, "We're not interested in professional sports. We're interested in student athletes."
Scott's own salary was called in to question before the court, with Scott confirming that he made $4.5 million in 2016. The commissioner noted that the sum was approved by a review committee and is in line with the salaries of other media executives. Turning to the question of Pac-12 schools' compensation, Scott said that the revenue ranges from $70 million to $140 million annually, with the conference evenly distributing roughly $31 million back to each school. However, in Scott's view, compensating student athletes is off the table.
He testified that the students play college sports "for the love of the sport, for the team, for the school," arguing further that of the "several dozen" student athletes Scott has personally interviewed, the "vast majority" told him they support the ban on student compensation.

Nestled in the Elgin Valley surrounded by apple orchards, Almenkerk Wine Estate produces some of the most unique expressions of traditional varietals. The Van Almenkerk family immigrated to South Africa from Belgium in 2002 and have since firmly established themselves as a leading wine producer in South Africa.
The philosophy of Almenkerk is to let the fruit do the talking and the result is that 90% of the effort happens in the soil. The aim is to nurture healthy, natural soils and vines which result in unique flavour expressions that show in the wines. The oaking of their wines is done very subtly in order to best express the unique flavour characteristics of their fruit. This results in elegant, well balanced wines that have a minerality distinctive of the cool climate Elgin Valley.
Our portfolio includes the flagship Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah. These estate wines are complemented by the more approachable Lace range which consists of a red blend, Sauvignon Blanc and rosé.

I am aware that many critics of the Fair Tax Mark will want to know how it works.
So let me say straight away that the version we have launched today is for UK based and mainly UK trading companies. The version for multinational corporations will follow later; we're walking before we can run.
And we're doing that for good reason because what we are suggesting is improved accounting for tax. The methodology behind the new mark is explained here.
What we expect of a Fair Tax Mark company is that they tell us about their tax. It's the way to eliminate risk in our opinion.
What's important to note is that we're not alone in thinking this. Last year Ernst & Young said:
A lack of consistent usage means that tax transparency represents different things in different contexts but we see it as the communication of an organisation's approach to tax planning and compliance as well as the amount of tax it pays in order that stakeholders have confidence that a fair share of tax is being paid. Reporting, both voluntary and mandatory, is therefore a key element of tax transparency – simply complying with the current rules may no longer be enough.
We agree, and we're giving companies a chance to say that they do too.
That's why we also think that this is something that in time the accountancy profession could and should embrace. In fact, we even think it's something they might want to sell. After all, when before has a set of accounts ever had the potential marketing tool? With the Fair Tax mark that's exactly what they can be.

This Website Helps You Discover a New Song a Day
Spotify, iTunes Radio, Amazon Prime Music and Pandora have all been a great ways to discover music, whether it's an artist new to the scene or a song that's just new to you. But while they're all super convenient for throwing on a party playlist, at the end of the day they're running on algorithms. And algorithms don't always get you or your tastes. (Liking Taylor Swift DOES NOT equal liking Kacey Musgraves, Spotify. Get with the 1989 times.)
Want to hark back to the days when a real, live human would make you a mixtape or burn you a CD, with songs specifically chosen for you? A Song A Day is the modern equivalent. The name says it all: Every day, a volunteer team of music curators will deliver a song to your email inbox based totally on *your* music preferences.
As you can imagine, it takes a LOT of work for a self-described rag-tag group of music lovers to handpick new songs for you every day. They're doing all of this manually right now, and while that may have worked for you and all of your friends in the olden days, it's almost impossible to keep up with A Song A Day's growing Internet audience. So now, they're turning to technology — not to pick the songs with an algorithm ("No matter how technological we get, all songs will always be hand-picked," they promise), but to streamline their process. A rating system, playlist feature, weekly option and other ways to get personalized tunes to everyone's inbox.
Although their Kickstarter wasn't successful, A Song A Day launched an Indiegogo campaign, which lets them keep their donations even if they don't meet their $8,000 goal. Music lovers will love the donation perks, which include a 10-song custom playlist for donating $10, a 3-month vinyl delivery subscription for $150 and a concert in New York for $300. Rock on, A Song A Day!
What music genres do you want to see show up in your inbox every day? Sound off in the comments!

Why Choose Marquis As Your Hot Tub Of Choice?
There is no denying that there are several reputable Hot Tub manufacturers out there, but how do you choose? I'll be straight up with you – it's not easy!
I encourage you to pick no more than 2 or 3 brands and do some online research before you even go to a hot tub store. Would you believe up until 2008 there were more than 150 Tub manufacturer's out there! While there are a lot fewer now it's still a lot of information to sift through!
When looking for a particular manufacturer you will want to ask yourself the following questions about their hot tubs and about their dealers.
- Where is their factory and do they maintain a parts depot nearby?
- Are their tubs insulated properly and manufactured to withstand the rigors of the seasons like we have here in Canada?
- Do they wet test each and every tub individually during manufacturing to look for leaks or just a "sampling " such as one out of so many tubs from a run?
- Also, consider how quiet the tub is? You don't want to be raising your voice when the jets are on when you are conversing with another person sitting in the tub. Marquis Tubs are EXCEPTIONALLY quiet!
- And finally, how do the customer reviews stack up for initial quality and features and long-term reliability of their products
Once you start delving into it, I believe you will find that the answers to these questions will convince you that Marquis Hot Tubs are definitely a "top 3" overall hot tub option.
Just as important as the type of hot tub is the selection of the hot tub dealer. When choosing a dealer it's also important to ensure they will be there for you when you need them. Find out answers to these important questions:
- How long have they been in business and do they have a "bricks and mortar "location? Buying at hot tub shows and fairs can be risky if they are in town only for a few days or are selling direct as a manufacturer and are from another country.
- If they do have a physical location, do they have "wet" models available for you to test?
Not all jets feel the same and it is important for you to feel the water flow against your body. After all, you are going to be using your tub for many years and you don't want piercing jets that don't allow you to be comfortable in your tub.
- Do they service what they sell and are parts easily available? Even the best brands sometimes need service. Marquis maintains a parts supply in the GTA plus we have our own qualified service technicians on staff to ensure any downtime is minimal in the unlikely event your tub requires servicing.
Gib-San offers you the convenience of comparison shopping all at one location. There are three Marquis series plus an economical Celebrity series. This allows you to shop for a hot tub with the best quality your budget can allow. Our staff is trained by Marquis on the different hot tub features and relative quality. We take the mystery out of the comparison review so you find a hot tub that meets your needs.
Ready to choose a hot tub? Come in and we will help you identify the size of tub and key features you need for your family entertaining lifestyle and budget.
Email me below or come into our showroom and we will give you a good understanding of your options so you can make a good decision for you and your family.

Store Manager

Dad Shoots Baby In The Chest Because Wife Says No To Sex
The devoted young mother of a six-month-old boy has had her life left in pieces, after vile husband, Maycon Salustiano Silva, 25, shot and killed their infant son in a fit of spite, Dad Shoots Baby In The Chest.
Silva had reportedly been drinking and smoking marijuana late into the night last Tuesday, in the home the couple shared in the municipality of Luziania, in the Brazilian state of Goiás.
Boozed Up Husband Demands Sex From Sleeping Wife
According to Brazilian police, wife Jeniffer, 20, was sleeping the couple's bedroom, with firstborn Michel settled peacefully down for the night in his cot by the side of the bed.
At some point in the early hours of Wednesday morning, a heavily-intoxicated Silva woke the child's mother demanding sex, becoming belligerent when she turned him down.
The altercation soon escalated into to violence, as Silva began to physically assault his wife.
The worst seemed to be over however, when Silva retreated to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Macho Man Show World He's Brave Enough To Kill A Baby
But instead of fetching water, Silva retrieved a 22. gauge pistol and asked the child's horrified mother if she believed he was 'courageous enough' to shoot the defenseless infant.
Silva then held the pistol against his six-month old son's chest and pulled the trigger.
Police Called To Site Of Screams, But Clock Off Early
Neighbors claim to have heard a woman frantically screaming at around 1.30am Wednesday morning and alerted police.
However according to the officers who responded to that initial call, when they arrived at the scene the screaming had stopped. Unable to locate the house from which the commotion had been reported, police left without investigating further.
Traumatized Mother Blacks Out From Shock
The child's traumatized mother told paramedics that she has no recollection of what happened in the intervening hours, but at some point she blacked out as a result of shock and came to beside the body of her murdered infant. Dad Shoots Baby In The Chest
She then called emergency services, who brought the child to hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.
In the meantime baby killer Silva stashed the 22. down the back of the sofa, along with several rounds of ammunition.
Baby Killer Charged With Manslaughter
He was arrested not long after and charged with manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm and domestic violence.
Friends of the couple have expressed their incredulity that such a seemingly perfect family could end up in such an unimaginable tragedy..

Report Cards
- On 06/12/2014
The purpose of report cards is to try to paint a picture of a student's school life. However, painting any kind of picture and the final product is wide open to many different interpretations. At PCIS, teachers work for a solid week twice a year, painting the most accurate pictures possible of their subjects, their students. They gather all the information they have documented throughout the term and compile it into a single document that serves as a communication to parents and a record of the year.
Quality educators have moved away from simply giving grades to a more objective comparison of the student's work to the established standards for that grade level. Standards-based report cards, like the ones used at PCIS, list a series of grade-level standards and evaluate to what degree the child has reached each standard.
At PCIS, we realize that reporting on the achievement of standards is not enough. We must also report on whether students are realizing their maximum potential. With our goal that each student strive to be great, we need to measure whether that is happening. So we provide effort grades that stand independent of achievement grades. Putting both grades side by side, helps paint the best picture of each student.
We also understand that there are skills that are not directly linked to subject matter, but that greatly influence the success of students in a school setting. These include the emotional, social and organizational skills required in all lessons at all grade levels. This is an important part of the report card at PCIS.
We understand and respect that every parent will interpret and act upon their child's report card differently. We encourage all parents to discuss their results privately with each child and set goals for improvement. We do recommend that when viewing report card, parents follow these guidelines (from http://ccetompkins.org/family/parent-pages/reducing-report-card-over-reaction):
Stay calm.
When parents are disappointed by children's school performance, they may become frustrated, even angry. Children, too, may have strong feelings of shame and defensiveness. If report cards arouse these strong feelings in your family, it's important to set aside a cooling off period. Allow time after the arrival of the report card for everyone to get a grip on strong emotions. School struggles require a problem-solving approach that depends on everyone remaining calm and rational.
Understand what the grades mean.
It's important for a parent to understand the teacher's grading system in order to determine her child's strengths and shortcomings and the most effective course of action. Most teachers take into account attendance, participation, school assignments, homework and test results when setting a grade. In some cases, grades may reflect conduct. On the whole, however, grades usually evaluate the child's ability to master subjects based on a number of criteria.
If the child's effort and performance is satisfactory during class, but he consistently fails tests, he may be experiencing test anxiety or have difficulty interpreting tests. While all school children need to conform to testing standards, there may be alternative ways to evaluate your child's performance.
Likewise, if your child's participation in class is inadequate, she may need encouragement and opportunity to be more involved. If his homework is unsatisfactory, he may need guidance in establishing effective after school routines or help in acquiring study skills.
Focus on solutions, not excuses.
It's easy for both parents and students to rationalize an unsatisfactory report card. Both may blame the teacher, the school system or tough new standards. There may, in fact, be legitimate reasons for a child's performance. Family situations like relocation, unemployment and divorce are significant stressors that can adversely affect a child's ability to concentrate and follow-through. However, parents need to look past these circumstances to potential solutions. Being single-minded about finding solutions is the best path to success.
Talk with your child.
When children struggle with school, resulting in a disappointing report card, it's time for a face-to-face, heart-to-heart talk. Don't lecture or preach, and avoid blaming, criticizing and excessive advice-giving. School performance is ultimately the child's responsibility and any problems are primarily his to solve. So what does a parent do? Ask the right questions and be a good listener.
Let your child explain his school performance. How does he feel about his grades? In what areas is he doing well? Where does he need to improve? Ask him how he can and will do better. Ask him how you can help him do better.
When parents remain non-critical and practice respectful listening, children may reveal feelings and ideas that point toward potential solutions. For example, a child may talk about how other children tease her so she's afraid to speak up in class. Another child may disclose that he doesn't have enough time to complete his tests. In either case, some solutions are suggested. The shy child can practice speaking up while another child can learn time management or test-taking skills.
Talk with your child's teacher.
When children fail or get poor grades, it's imperative that parents arrange parent-teacher conference. These conferences should be cooperative, not confrontational. Blaming the child, the teacher or the school system for your child's performance misses the main point, which is to help your child learn and succeed.
Your child's teacher can help you understand what the grades mean and what your child needs to do to improve. She may be able to offer some insight about your child's learning style, level of motivation or peer relationships that impact on achievement. Parents can contribute information about the home environment and family situation that may be influencing learning. Parents and teachers can often work together to develop a mutually satisfying strategy for helping a student.
Make an action plan.
- Discuss the teacher's ideas with the child. Remember, your child has already shared some of her own ideas for improvement. Using everyone's ideas, develop an action plan.
- Set realistic goals. It's realistic to expect students to maintain or improve acceptable grades and to improve poor grades by one letter during the next marking period. It's unrealistic to expect a student to suddenly get all A's.
- Establish a timetable. It's not unreasonable to expect students to show some improvement week by week or test by test. On the other hand, it is unreasonable to expect a complete about face in a short period of time. A realistic timetable helps the student evaluate whether or not he's on track.
- Develop study skills and habits. Help your child get organized and learn how to manage her time. Be consistent in enforcing after school routines.
- Provide incentives and consequences if necessary. Rewards do not help children develop intrinsic motivation or pride in their work. But some children may need some incentives to acquire skills and helpful habits. Other children may need to lose privileges to reinforce the importance of schoolwork. In any case, avoid punishing children about their school performance. This tends only to de-motivate them.
- Stick to it. Give your child time to develop new attitudes and skills. Don't be easily discouraged. Solving problems and learning new skills takes time.
Get help if needed.
Some students require tutoring or other assistance. You may have to arrange for diagnostic testing or specialized services for your child. You may need support and cooperation from other family members as you and your child adapt to new routines and rules. Finally, you may need support as you deal with your own feelings in the situation. Practice good coping skills and seek out the empathetic ear of a good friend.
If your child gets good grades.
Even when children get good grades, parents can over-react. Too much praise or unnecessary rewards send the message that children are only important when they get good grades. Children may even think, "They only love me because I get good grades."
It's more important to focus on how the child feels about his achievements. In order for children to develop pride in their work, they must be able to reflect on and evaluate their own efforts. A thoughtful parent helps children arrive at their own conclusions about their success. When children say, "I'm proud of my grades. I like school. I want to do even better next time," parents do not have say anything. A smile and a hug can say it all.

He said this is because the knife has good weight. The knife is also fully balanced meaning you can balance the knife at the base of the blade as it meets the handle.

Bitcoin Makes the long awaited $4,000 Mark
Sunday, the 17th of March will be on the records for having the top 20 cryptocurrencies reporting to have sighted good points and losses in one day.
Bitcoin (BTC) has pushed back just over the $4,000 mark, according to CoinMarketCap data. At press time, the price of Bitcoin was $3,962 however it gained a 1.05% increase within 24 hours. From the weekly chart, the current price is over 2.4 percent higher than the price at which Bitcoin started the week.
Among the top 20 cryptocurrencies, other than ETH, only five coins are seeing an over 1 percent change on the day to press time — Bitcoin SV (BSV), Monero (XMR), Iota (MIOTA), Ontology (ONT) and Nem (XEM).
The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies is currently hovering just under $140 billion at $139.9 billion, which is about four percent higher than $134.3 billion, the value it reported a week ago.
Ethereum (ETH) is holding onto its position as the largest altcoin by market cap, which is at about $14.7 billion. The second-largest altcoin, Ripple (XRP), has a market cap of about $13.1 billion by press time.
As Cointelegraph reported yesterday, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin said that he expects the global economy will be 10 times larger in 10 to 20 years, when blockchain is fully ramified, and that blockchain will be involved in most of it.
Speaking at Austin's SXSW conference on March 15, Senior Advisor for Digital Assets at the United States Securities and Exchanges Commission, Valerie Szczepanik, reportedly noted that stablecoins could experience issues under current securities laws.
However, we are hopeful that Bitcoin will continue on its upward climb.

Only Bitcoin & Ethereum Are Sufficiently Decentralized to be a Base Trust Layer for Applications – Joseph Lubin
Co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys, Joseph Lubin has said that bitcoin and ethereum are the only sufficiently decentralized blockchains to be a base trust layer for applications.
Joe Lubin made this statement in an interview in Hong Kong FinTech Week. There are good competitors and there are good marketing projects, Lubin said. He went further saying, Tron is an excellent marketing project and others like it and some of these are not necessarily intellectually honest and not technologically strong or rigorous.
However, he did noted some projects to be high quality technology projects, such as Polkadot, Avalanche etc.
He said both bitcoin and ethereum are the only sufficiently decentralized blockchains to be a base trust layer for applications for the planet.
According to Lubin, to be a base trust layer, a project will need to issue a token broadly and equitably. The project will also have to raise or gather enough revenue so that it can build its project and continue to build it out and maintain it. This will also require a vibrant, large and growing community to be successful.
Regulatory compliance is a serious challenge which crypto projects will have to deal with. According to Lubin, this was something both bitcoin and ethereum didn't have to deal with at its early times. He said if any project is hoping to aspire to be a massively decentralized base trust layer it will ill have to overcome the challenges but it will be very very difficult for even a technically very strong project to challenge the early head start and the massive network effect that Ethereum has.
The community behind the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization is gigantic compared to other networks. Just recently, some group of people founded a decentralized autonomous organisation DAO to market the ethereum blockchain. Though the activities of the DAO hasn't been made completely public, it's worth mentioning that Ethereum co-founder and now founder of Cardano Blockchain Project, Charles Hoskinson, because there was no consensus to commercialize the Ethereum blockchain despite the desire for Ethereum to be global settlement layer.

Crypto in Ghana: Where & How to Buy and Sell
The rise of bitcoin has spread awareness of the vast possibilities in the digital space. Cryptocurrencies has exposed people to uncensored, cheap and ultra fast means of money transfer.
It has also shown them interesting and innovative ways to exploit their various skills to build careers for themselves in the industry.
Since 2009 the Bitcoin network came alive to the phenomenal growth experienced in 2017 that saw global attention to bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the world has not been the same again.
People are beginning to see the existing financial structures cannot adequately serve their interest and cryptocurrency most especially bitcoin seems to be that very alternative or supplement which can cover the lapse of the legacy financial systems.
Bitcoin has grown from just a means of value exchange, to a store of value and very popular seen now as a new class of asset. It can be traded just stocks and commodities.
With the growing infrastructure around bitcoin and cryptocurrencies globally, it becomes imperative we examine places where anyone who wishes to get onboard the crypto industry can very well easily access bitcoin without been defrauded.
In this article, we shall look at seven (7) places where crypto can be purchased in the gold filled country of Ghana.
1. eBitcoinics
Ebitcoinics is a popular place to purchase cryptocurrency. The cryptocurrency exchange allows users to transact on the platform to a certain limit. To exceed that limit, the user has to undergo KYC process. This can be easily done with a government issued identity card.
2. eBitpoint
Buying cryptocurrency in Ghana is easier thanks to the several exchanges that operate in the country. Ebitpoint is an Accra based cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to purchase bitcoin with mobile money.
A user only needs to register an account on the exchange, deposit money then click on the Bitcoin button to purchase bitcoin.
The bitcoin immediately reflects on the wallet of the user. The exchange also features an sms alert notification service to help users in checking on their account.
3. Bushcom Financials
This exchange just like ebitpoint allows users to purchase cryptocurrency with mobile money in Ghana. Other than crypto, the platform also helps users to receive money. Registration is simple and purchase of crypto on Bushcom is simple just lik ebitcoin.
4. Remitano
Remintano is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to purchase cryptocurrency in the country using the Mobile Money service.
As normal p2p exchange works, spot trading is not guaranteed as a user will have to go through list of possible buyers/sellers to choose who to transact with.
5. Paxful
Paxful is also a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to buy or sell cryptocurrency, transact with gift cards and convert to Bitcoin. Just like Remitano, a user will have to check through buyers or sellers to find who to buy from. Registration is free.
6. Localbitcoin
This like Remitano and Paxful is a p2p crypto exchange. Users have to register and then choose whom to transact with.
7. PayPlux
PayPlux is one of the oldest ecurrency exchangers in Ghana. Established 10 years ago, According to Payplux, its mission and focus is to make digital currency (both cryptos & non-cryptos) accessible, especially in the African regions.
Payplux allows users in Ghana and beyond to buy, sell and exchange various digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and Perfect Money. Its diverse payment methods allow users to carry out your buy, sell or exchange transactions using Mobile Money.
Its Mobile App for both iOS and Android is underway.
Cryptocurrency continues to open newer avenues that could be exploited for income generation. As the industry matures in Ghana and the rest of Africa, it is expected that newer products unlike what we see today will emerge giving room for more exploration and exploitation of the technology.

It will be a mistake to evaluate Bitcoin and crypto based on what it is today – Anthony Pompliano 'Pomp'
The owner of Off the Chain podcast Anthony Pompliano ' Pomp' has said it will be a mistake to evaluate Bitcoin and crypto based on what it is today. This he said in this week's letter to investors.
'According to Pomp, technology evolves and advances at an impressive rate. What feels inefficient today will be replaced by interfaces and experiences that are sleek, fast and ultra-efficient in the future.'
He compared the early internet to Bitcoin and crypto in general saying just as the internet went from ARPANET to dial up internet to broadband connections, Bitcoin and crypto will do the same.
It will be the same Bitcoin, but the experiences will feel very differently from before.
Pomp said it will be a mistake to evaluate Bitcoin and crypto based on what it is today. According to him, people are simply looking at a snapshot in time.
What it looks like today is very different from what it will look like tomorrow. And that is very different from what it will look like a decade fromnow.
Layer 2 and layer 3 solutions will be developed, we will see exchanges, wallets, data providers and other infrastructure drastically improve.
According to Pomp, we will feel like the technical aspects of the product will disappear into the background and what users will be using will feel like something magical.
However the magical elements that will be seen in crypto someday, Pomp warned that this will take time because building technologies especially with compelling UI/UX takes time.
Therefore investors today should look at the pace of innovation, at the current speed of evolution of a technology if they want to understand where they are going.
Because according to him, technology is never about where we are currently. It is always about where we are going. And what resources it will take to get there.
And that is why 'personally, I am optimistically patient because the potential of this will be worth the wait', Pomp ended his letter.

"[W]hen someone who has got genocide on the mind thinks that you're too extreme, you're really kind of far out there." - Jeff Sharlet
Sharlet is speaking about David Bahati, a leading proponent of a Ugandan effort to criminalize homosexuality and make it punishable by death, dismissing the conspiracy theory of Scott Lively, who argues that the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide are the result of homosexuality.
