Everything's coming up Curlin. On July 28, the stallion's son Tenfold won the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga, with the Curlin colt Vino Rosso a flying third in the nine-furlong race, and the next day, last year's champion 2-year-old colt Good Magic, also by Curlin, won the G1 Haskell by three lengths as the odds-on favorite.
The results of those two races are an indication of the significance tied to Curlin, the best racehorse and best stallion son of the important Mr. Prospector horse Smart Strike. Horse of the Year in 2007 and 2008, plus a winner of the Preakness, Breeders' Cup Classic, and Dubai World Cup, Curlin was a racehorse of very considerable importance.
One of the best racehorses of the first decade of the new century, Curlin is also clearly now one of the best stallions in the country. He is all the more important because he represents a distinct branch of Mr. Prospector, one that is both quick enough to race well at 2 but is more adept at 3 when racing at distances of a mile and up.
The only other branch of Mr. Prospector to be a serious national actor in the classic scene is the Fappiano stem through Unbridled and his sons Unbridled's Song, Grindstone, and Empire Maker. From the latter comes the 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who is by the Empire Maker stallion Pioneerof the Nile, also sire of 2016 champion 2-year-old colt Classic Empire.
Curlin has staked out new territory for himself with Good Magic because, although the sire has always had a few promising juveniles like his first-crop classic winner Palace Malice, Curlin's strength obviously has been with his maturing stock that grow into their typically sizable frames and improve with distance.
Palace Malice was the first indicator of this pattern of development, and the handsome bay improved further at 4, winning four graded stakes from his five starts that season, including the G1 Metropolitan Handicap. Prior to Good Magic, 2016 Preakness winner Exaggerator was probably the best juvenile by Curlin. Winner of the Saratoga Special and Delta Jackpot, as well as second in the Breeders' Futurity in his first season, Exaggerator improved notably at 3 to win a trio of G1 stakes: the Santa Anita Derby, Preakness, and the Haskell.
Exaggerator offers some important pedigree indicators for breeders hoping to produce speedier and more precocious stock by Curlin. The 2016 Preakness Stakes winner is out of a mare by the Seattle Slew stallion Vindication, an unbeaten 2-year-old champion and winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. His sire, Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, was an unbeaten juvenile and divisional champion in the days before the Breeders' Cup and then continued his unbeaten streak through the 1977 Triple Crown.
This is the male line of Bold Ruler through his son Boldnesian (Santa Anita Derby) and grandson Bold Reasoning (Jersey Derby), which includes a heritage of his speed through its effortless stride. Speed is generated either by stride or by power. The Bold Ruler line, seen in simplest terms, is a stride line, and its most famous exemplar is Secretariat, the perfect stride machine. On the other hand, the Raise a Native line is a power line and generates speed through the leverage and muscularity of its hindquarter propulsion.
The evolution of this branch of Mr. Prospector through Curlin appears to be bearing toward the stride factors that add speed. In addition to Exaggerator being out of a mare by Vindication, other Curlin stakes winners have Bold Ruler-line broodmare sires such as Tapit, Boston Harbor, and Yes It's True.
Tenfold, for instance, is out of the Tapit mare Temptress, and the handsome bay colt looked the picture of quality in the paddock before the Jim Dandy. A scopy colt with a great length of rein, Tenfold used his stride to great effect, first pressing the pace and then taking over the lead before the three-sixteenths pole to win from early pacesetter Flameaway (Scat Daddy) and the fast-closing Vino Rosso.
One of the excellent qualities of Curlin as a sire is that he appears to be unifying the stride and power elements of his mates to produce more effective and efficiently athletic racers. And that characteristic of his stock is making Curlin one of the most sought-after sires today.
Standing for $150,000 live foal at Hill 'n' Dale Farm outside Lexington, Curlin is covering large books of ever-improving quality, and the effect of his substance and racing excellence should be felt for years to come.

In its most recent earnings call, Costco provided another update on the performance of its Citi Visa co-branded card for members, which officially launched in June 2016.
The card is doing well across metrics, and is one of the major gainers in Costco's margins, which fell slightly overall year-over-year (YoY).
- New users are growing steadily. In the past year, Citi has added roughly 1.8 million new accounts and 2.4 million new cards — a discrepancy that most likely arises from multiple cardholders on a given account. This includes 270,000 new cards in the past 17 weeks, and represents a slowdown from the initial launch of the card, but still indicates a healthy growth rate.
- And spend is on the rise. Costco reported that spending on the card is up YoY, not just as a result of new account acquisitions, but also organically. These shifts are reflected in numbers that Citi reported earlier this year — Costco's $103 billion through Q2 2017 helped increase Citi's card sales by a third. CFO Richard Galanti also noted that this is a card people tend to keep top-of-wallet, and the spend is coming not just from within Costco, but also from out-of-store, which is helping to propel growth.
The performance of Costco's product is a testament to why bigger is better for credit cards. When Amex owned the Costco co-brand portfolio, it was strong, posting $80 billion in billed business in its last full year. But it's doing even better, and seems to be growing more quickly, under Citi — which is of benefit to Costco. That's likely in part due to the card's strong rewards proposition — cash-back offerings go as high as 4% for standard purchases, which is higher than those under Amex, and the firm is also running other promotions, like additional rewards on travel and discounts on Samsung purchases, which can incentivize high spending. But it could also be due to Visa's wide acceptance network, which beats out Amex in the US, and could make it easier for users to turn to the product more regularly. At a time when credit appetite is high and firms are working to attract and engage customers, the scaling success of the Costco portfolio could be a lesson in how subtle changes that simplify and incentivize usage could make a big difference.
Credit card rewards have become so popular in the US that issuers capture headlines just by launching a new rewards card. And with consumers now caring more about the type of rewards being offered than any other card feature, competition to offer the most lucrative and attractive rewards has intensified dramatically.
But it's also important to note that offering such high-valued rewards comes at a price — Chase's Sapphire Reserve card ended up reducing the bank's profits by $200 million to $300 million in Q4 2016, according to Bloomberg. And as costs continue to rise, issuers will have to adjust to this new landscape by leveraging technology and partnerships to keep consumers engaged without sacrificing profits.
Ayoub Aouad, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed credit card rewards explainer that:
- Identifies the costs associated with offering rewards for issuers and how they have increased over time.
- Details why credit card issuers continue offering high-valued rewards.
- Analyzes how the industry has evolved since 2011
- Explores how credit card issuers will advance in order to continue reaping the benefits of offering rewards without assuming increased costs.

I am so excited to write this post! We have finished our half bath remodel and it looks like a whole new bathroom. I am so happy with the way it turned out. My husband is amazing for going along with all my design ideas and implementing them perfectly. He worked so hard on this room and I love it!
Here is what our bathroom looked like before.
The bathroom was livable. It had a working toilet and sink and was clean. But as far as style was concerned, it was far from mine. I had visions of clean, light, simple, and a touch of farmhouse charm.
We went back and forth on replacing the vanity or not, and ultimately decided it needed to go. New floors, paint, vanity, and a new toilet were all on our list for this bathroom project. I knew what I wanted and we got to work! By we I really do mean John. I helped some with the shiplap and trim, but other than that it was really a one person job. The room is so small only one person could be in there working comfortably at a time.
This is our half bath now.
I am so happy with the way it turned out! It is exactly how I envisioned it. I got my shiplap (happy dance) and it looks great!
It took me awhile to pick out the paint color and I love what we chose. We used Sherwin Williams Fleur De Sel. It's a perfect light grey that makes the room feel larger than it is.
We are going to replace our outlets and light switches so that they are white. We also have a new light fixture coming, it was delayed by about 3 months, and that will be the final touch.
I will link all of our items at the bottom of this post.
I will do another post going through the whole process, more of a step by step. I will also be doing a shiplap tutorial. This was our first time installing shiplap so we are no experts, but I will share how we did ours for anyone who is interested.
We had so much fun designing and doing this project ourselves. I'm excited to start our next project!
Thanks for reading!

pig roast! at the hungry cat.
the hungry cat's santa monica location was doing a special pig roast for father's day that not only had whole roasted pig and a wonderfully southern twist on their normal seafood menu (think po'boys, fried green tomates and cornbread), but was also offering beer and bourbon tastings. southern food, seafood and bourbon? if you know me and james at all, you know we couldn't turn this down.
we arrived an entire hour early for our reservation (better safe than sorry with the PCH), so we took a seat at the bar and ordered some drinks and a dozen oysters. you may have already noticed in the short life of this blog, we love oysters! we've been to the hollywood location many times, but this was our first at santa monica canyon. it's large and sunny and lovely.
once we were seated, james ordered the $20 bourbon tasting - four 1-oz pours! unfortunately, i didn't write down what they were. according to james, they were a good selection and there were a couple in there he hadn't had before. the rest of the meal was delightful. the roast pig was definitely a standout, as was the grilled corn, and corn pudding!
fried green tomatoes with burrata cheese, radish, avocado, basil pistou.
mexican "street" corn with lime, cilantro, queso fresco and chili salt.
whole roasted pig with pickled watermelon slaw, corn bread and bbq sauce.
grilled blue prawns with corn pudding, pickled chard, roasted summer squash and green romesco.
soft shell crab po' boy with bacon, cabbage, tomato, spicy remoulade and french fries.

An Amazing Treasure
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is integral to our worship at COTC and is central to the Anglican church's identity. Originally composed in 1549, the book has had a global and profound influence, shaping language and guiding millions in devotion to Jesus.
Each week as we celebrate together, we are guided and shaped by the richness of this book. However, there is more to the BCP than what we experience each Sunday. Beyond a form for corporate worship, the BCP also provides guidance for the marking of our times and days, as individuals and as families, before the Lord, in the presence of Christ. Births, adoptions, baptisms, confirmations, marriages and illnesses, deaths and burials are all included, and the BCP guides the church in who to pray and stand in these situations in the life of God. It is an amazing treasure.
This Sunday, I'm excited for the chance we have to look more closely at this treasure. Following the service, we will have the opportunity to dive a little deeper into its resources, its history, and how it might be used to bless us in the marking of our days in the presence of Christ today. Be sure to sign up by the end of Jan. 19; childcare and lunch are provided!
Grace and peace,

text: WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Private-sector employment growth slowed down in March, as the economy gained 158,000 jobs, Automatic Data Processing Inc. ADP, +0.42% reported Wednesday morning. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected the report to show that the U.S. economy gained 215,000 private-payroll jobs in March, up from an original estimate of 198,000 in February. On Wednesday, ADP revised private-payroll gains in February to 237,000. Markets look to ADP's report on private-sector payrolls to provide some guidance on the U.S. Department of Labor's jobs estimate, which will be released Friday and includes information on both private- and public-sector payrolls. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect the government to report Friday that nonfarm-payroll employment rose 195,000 in March, down from a gain of 236,000 in February. Economists also expect that the unemployment rate remained at 7.7%. While recent employment data have shown gains, the labor market remains far below its peak, as there are more than three million fewer jobs in the U.S. than when the recession began. Looking forward, economists say the large federal spending cuts could curb growth in coming months.

Living the Catskill Dream by Mike Siudy "Catskill 35 Direttissima"
At 5 AM on May 24, 2018, I started speed hiking up the Peekamoose-Table trail. It was the beginning of a journey that would take me nearly 2 ½ days to complete. Along the way I would cover around 140 miles, climb over 38,000 feet of vertical ascent, and reach the summits of all 35 High Peaks in the Catskill Mountains that are over 3500 feet above sea level. I have hiked or run or skied to the summits of these mountains many times (read "The Grid & 420 Summits") before but never all in one push. A complete mile by mile account of what I did is not of particular interest to me, but what is interesting are the feelings that I had, the realizations that I came to, and the power of friendship and support.
I can't remember exactly when I became interested in attempting this "Catskill 35 direttissima" but it has been on the front of my mind for the past couple of years. Nearly every time that I have gone hiking or running in the Catskills I have had this route in mind. I previously had rehearsed all but a two-mile bushwhack and the road sections. I could visualize the entire route from start to finish. There were trees and rocks that I had seen so many times that I could anticipate their appearances. My mind was full of information from all those hundreds of miles of reconnaissance, the mistakes I had made in the past, and the later adjustments that made moving along the landscape more efficient.
Early to mid-May is an ideal time to hike in the Catskills. The snow has melted from winter, the temperatures are cool, the plants have not started to grow yet affording clear views, and the gnats and black flies are not out. One problem with the month of May is that it rains a lot. So, while I wanted to do this attempt earlier, the previous two weekends were skipped due to rain and cold temperatures. The last weekend in May would be my final opportunity to give this a shot. Since it was so late in the month, the daytime highs we're around 80, trees had started to grow leaves, the stinging nettles and prickers were coming up and the bugs were alive and kicking. These were not ideal conditions, but it was the best I was going to get.
I felt really good going through the first 10 peaks and 23 miles alone. The morning was cool and breezy keeping the bugs at bay, but as the day warmed the black flies woke up. I began the steep, thick, trail less ascent up Fir mountain around 1 PM, I put on a head net and sweated profusely to the summit. This was a story for the next four mountains until I dropped down into Seager to see my crew. My wife Tara raced up after work and stopped at Chipotle to get me burritos which I devoured with a tasty beer. This raised my spirits immensely and after 25 minutes or so I set out into the night with my friends Mendy Gallo and Jay Lemos. Mendy dedicated her three days off work this week to support and accompany me on this journey, Jay had driven up Thursday night, took Friday off work to spend many hours and miles with me.
My itinerary had included a two-hour nap at approximately 3 AM after coming down from Halcott mountain. The challenges of navigating up and down, off trail in the dark 20 hours into my day put me about 45 minutes behind schedule. I arrived at the camper, wiped myself down, and crawled into bed. I set an alarm for 5:45 AM. When it rang, I had 1 ½ hours of solid sleep. I wanted no part of waking up, I was tired, cold, and sore. I also knew I was not even halfway through my journey. The urge to go back to sleep was overwhelming, all my momentum from the previous day had vanished. Fortunately, my thoughts quickly went to all the people that were sacrificing for me. If I were to quit now they would have wasted their time. If I asked for their help again I might not get it. Most importantly, in this tiny moment where I did not believe in myself, all of my friends did. I got out of bed, put clothes on, grabbed a bottle of water and started a 4-mile road walk with my friend Phil Vondra who had left his house at 4am to spend some time in the mountains with me. Mendy and Jay were still in the camper when I left. I began to feel a little better chatting with Phil and I livened right up when Mendy brought me a mug of coffee. I realized I could no longer go to sleep until I was done, this was a close call and I might not be so lucky next time.
When you begin a long run you often have a pack filled with water, food, and extra gear. As you eat and drink the pack gets lighter and it gets easier to carry. While this is commonplace I had never considered my mental load to be an issue. It dawned on me that when I began Thursday morning I had a decade + of information in my brain on how to get up and down 35 mountains in great detail. By Friday afternoon I had already done 23 peaks and over 80 miles and I started to feel a mental weight being lifted off of me. I no longer had to worry about those peaks and I could focus on the much smaller task ahead. My short-term memory had slowly been ridding itself of now useless knowledge. This reduction in mental fatigue was improving my physical ability. When Brian Oestrike and Jason Kolb started to pace me around 5:00pm, I felt rejuvenated and we moved well over Hunter Mountain into the night. One of the toughest sections for me was the descent down from Hunter. It drops 1500 feet in about a mile and a half. My legs were tired, I had developed some small blisters on my feet, and the trail is extremely Rocky and rugged.
We arrived at route 214 to a small party. Tara and Mendy were there along with Elizabeth Azze and Julian Vicente who we had seen a few hours ago. They had asked earlier if there was anything I needed or wanted. I said "a milkshake" not thinking that they could get me one. But a minute after I got to the parking area there was a milkshake in my hand. It tasted so delicious! Food and ultramarathoning is an odd combination. You need to eat a lot of calories to keep moving, but often your body does not have urge to eat. Forcing yourself to eat can have undesired consequences. This was the second time the right food had brought me out of a low spot. After refueling, Mendy jumped back in to pace again along with Elizabeth and Jayson on the infamous Devil's Path. It was slow steady progress through the night, Jayson almost fell off a cliff (really), but we all made it out in one piece.
Eventually the night ended and after a refuel at Platte Clove, Jayson and I were heading up Kaaterskill High Peak. We almost caught sunrise up high on the east ridge, but it was beautiful nonetheless. Coming down KHP brought us to the old snowmobile loop trail. It is hands down the worst trail in the Catskills. Very wet, muddy, overgrown, you name it. It sucks. We reached our crew around 8am where a pretty large group had assembled. I had been alone for the first 15 hours, then with just one or two people for most of the other 35. Suddenly there are a dozen or so friends waiting for me to come in, cheering and offering food, drinks, etc. 5 of them said they were going through to the end with me. Tara had made me some egg, ham, and cheese wraps along with some coffee that always does the trick. Food to the rescue again. The gang embarked on the longest road section of about 6 miles.
It was warm for the 3rd day in a row and each time a gust of wind would blow I'd howl in excitement. I had been stripped down to a very simple existence, with simple needs and pleasures. Eat, walk, drink, run, drink, hike, eat, etc. No contact with the outside world except when I saw my friends. There weren't even any other people on the trails until Saturday. All I had to do was take care of myself physically, talk to my pacers to sustain my mental well-being, and move forward. The lack of sleep no longer mattered, the painful blisters seemed disassociated from me, and I had a puffy knee that I was ignoring. This was as close to a state of Zen I have ever felt. Nothing really mattered except what was in front of me. I knew that I was going to finish, and in well under the old time record which was one of my goals. I was relaxed and found it much easier to move along.
Along the trail at the Black Dome summit we ran into Joe, Charlie, Amy and Eric and our group grew to 10! I was very excited with only 2 summits to go and the pace picked up a little bit. After going over Blackhead we charged down the decent, in one spot I seemed to run as if I were 2 miles into a race. It felt so good! I had mainly speed hiked for 2 days so whatever muscles I needed to run were still intact. Charlie went out to get his car and the 9 of us continued towards the final summit. My optimism (and fatigue) had me thinking the top was a lot closer than it really was. I was getting a little frustrated as I looked forward to that feeling of relief, and the can of beer that Mendy had carried up for me! The top finally came. I jumped up on the summit boulder in celebration. I cracked the warm beer and winced as I tried to drink it. It wasn't too pleasant, so I made sure to pass it around ☺.
In 2002, Ted "Cave Dog" Keizer, was in the middle of a 5-year rampage where he set speed records in the Adirondacks, Whites, Rockies, and more, and completed the infamous "Barkley Marathons" in record time. From Sept 11-13, 2002 he hiked the Catskill 35 route in 63 hours, 24 minutes. I had been aware of this mark for many years and his time seemed beatable to me if everything aligned. Ted is from Oregon and hiked it in the fall after a month of prep. After 2 decades of Catskill hiking I have accumulated a wealth of local knowledge and experience to assist me, plus I would have 2.5 extra hours of light each day by going in the spring. As far as I know, this was Cave Dog's last and longest standing record from that time.
Putting together an attempt like this takes a great deal of prep and organization. I could have tried to do it unsupported like Cory Delavalle and Jan Wellford in 4.5 days, but I don't like carrying a heavy pack, I wanted to go light. This means that I needed people and supplies for me at every time I crossed a road. A solid support crew is critical for this. My wife Tara has crewed me at many races over the years including 24+ hours sessions through hurricanes, but she could not miss work on Thursday or Friday. Mendy Gallo stepped up in a huge way to run the show when Tara couldn't be there. I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. Not only did she crew me, but she shuttled pacers around to their vehicles, ran/hiked over 40 miles of the route with me, and most importantly, brought me a cold Frappuccino along the trail!!! Tara and Dexter raced up after work Thursday and Friday to love and support me with food, cheers, hugs, and kisses. She spent a ton of time keeping people updated on my progress and managing the growing number of pacers on the trail. She is my biggest fan. Jay, Jayson, and Phil all did huge chunks of mileage with me, keeping me moving and laughing. Brian, Elizabeth, Julian, Pat, Chris, Joe, Amy, Eric, and Charlie all spent quality time with me on the trail and I am forever grateful.
I had put together a rough itinerary for when I thought I would be at certain points along the course. My initial projected finish time was 2:15 pm on Saturday. After initially being up a half hour, I had lost some time on night one due to some navigation errors both on and off trail, Saturday was hot, and Saturday night was very difficult going over the DP with 100+ miles on me. This all put me 1:30 behind schedule heading up Thomas Cole. As the end neared and my pace increased this gap shrunk. I hit the summit of Windham High Peak at 1:35pm. Could I get down 3.6 miles in 40 minutes? I decided to go for it. We began to run. At one of the rocky sections I was jumping over boulders and Jay told me he was recording the descent so that only made me go faster. I think I had dropped everyone except for Jay and Phil and we continued to hammer down the mountain. When I began the direttissima, I signed into the trail register at Peekamoose, and I also planned on signing out at the end. As we approached the last mile of the trail I looked at my watch, 2:13. I asked Phil if he had any more left in him if he could run ahead and get the book out and open, so I could just sign it quick and keep going. When I arrived, there were 4 or 5 hikers there that were likely very confused as I signed out like a tornado and sprinted off to the parking area.
I touched the pavement at 2:16pm, 1 minute off my projected time of 57 hours, 15 minutes. I had made up 1.5 hours in the last 15 miles. I couldn't believe it. I had done it. After 10+ years of serious hiking, I had broken the old record by 8 hours using the summit to summit standard. My trailhead to trailhead time was still over 6 hours faster. My body had held up with minor blister issues as the only hang up. In an email to Cave Dog, he signed off with "Live the Dream". I was still alive, and I thought I was dreaming!

Macedonia and North Macedonia
After having been only some weeks ago in the capital of what is now officially called North Macedonia I am in the capital of Macedonia, the Greek province. The PRESPA agreement between the Greek and North Macedonian governments have been signed and ratified. Certainly reconciliation after many years of nationalistic arguments and setting of facts - like the many statutes in Skopje - cannot be declared done and finished. In both countries there are still many people convinced the agreement is one-sided and gives the other side an unequal share of benefits.
Of course, as in all these conflicts it starts with "competitive victimhood". Every side complains they are the real victims. In this case Greece complained about being threatened by some Greater Macedonia aspirations by the governments in Skopje. Calling themselves Macedonia, the politicians in Macedonia will start to claim Greek territory. And in fact some maps in history books published with government support showed such maps of Greater Macedonia. The fact that the Skopje airport and a highway were named after Alexander the Great and many neo-hellenistic - and by the way very ugly - buildings and statues were deliberately demonstrating the governments intention to define them as successor of Alexander the Great. But Alexander the Great is for the Greek side a Greek hero and no other country can claim ownership on him.
On the Greek side the Macedonians are especially sensitive due to their long struggle against Turkish/Ottoman occupation. This also is the reason why Greek Macedonians feel themselves specially affected by the name issue. They already have been victims of occupation - by the Turkish/Ottoman empire. And although relations with the Turks improved some resentments still remain. And it seems that the the agreement between the Greek and North Macedonian government did not convince all Greeks especially those living in the Macedonian region. Emotions last much longer than rational considerations. Emotions are often deep rooted and last much longer than rational considerations.
Albanian Kosovaars and Serbs
The most controversial issue waiting for reconciliation is certainly the conflict between Kosovo Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo and Serbia. Here again the "competitive victimhood" plays an important role. The Kosovaars certainly feel themselves victims of long Serb domination. And certainly they had a lot of reasons to complain about discrimination and mistreatment. But that does not mean that the Serb side does not feel to be victim. Famous is the statement produced by many prominent Serb intellectuals, artists and bishops in which they stated: "The history of Serbian lands is full of instances of genocide against Serbs and of exodus to which they were exposed....Processes of annihilation of Serbs in the most diverse and brutal ways have been continuous." So in this case again both sides see themselves as victims of even a genocide.
And as Kosovo was created against the will and force of Serbia it is not surprising that there is still animosity and hate against those who tried to prevent Kosovo's self determination. And things will hardly improve if both sides only see their relation on the basis of being the other victims. In addition, with Russia supporting the Serb side, a country supports it, which sees itself as victim especially of the "West". This support is also part of orthodox solidarity. Consequently Russia rejects the independence of Kosovo as not compatible with International Law despite its illegal occupation of Crimea.
Joint History Project
Anyway, history was and still is reinterpreted and misused for political purposes. As this was systematically done in the Balkan region - of course not only here - a few very forward looking people especially from Greece founded a Centre For Democracy and Reconciliation in South Eastern Europe (CDRSEE). As seat Thessaloniki was chosen and the elaboration of books in the framework of the Joint History Project (JHP) was started. History was presented not as showing one(!) truth but having a multi-sided dimension or rather dimensions.
In the introduction to the workbook 4 - on the Second World War - the authors who were elaborating the text books under guidance of Christina Koulouri from Athens wrote: "In some (most?) countries of the South-East Europe, history teaching (and consequently history textbooks have this conception) is subsequently based on the 'single truth', so it is an exception for students to meet contradictory sources..... without a multi-perspective approach there is no real study, understanding and learning of history - or otherwise, it becomes merely data memorization." But data memorization leaves ample room for ideological manipulation and identification as the sole victim of history. And these interpretations will be defined as facts and used for political arguments between politicians of different countries but also inside the same country.
But of course to introduce a multi - perspective approach does not mean that "everything is relative" and one has to accept any kind of truth. It would certainly not offer support and justification for those who would deny the Holocaust. Facts remain facts and that is true also for different discriminations and aggressions perpetrated in the Balkan region. But any multi-perspective approach would recognize different motivations and perpetrators and not allow black outs. It would recognize different victims and victimization. It would also analyze the process of "competitive victimization" which you could and still can see between Kosovo Albanians and Serbs. But even between some Croats and Serbs this blame game is happing again and again. And Bosnia and Herzegovina is full of such competitive victimhood.
All this underlines the need for reconciliation in the Balkan region. Therefore it is sad, that my last visit to Thessaloniki had the main purpose closing down the CDRSEE as for the moment there is no possibility to find enough financial support for keeping it alive. But in face of the necessities for reconciliation the International Institute for Peace will carry on its already started project with the young of the region which includes also the question of reconciliation. And we will present the newly elected EU Parliament and Commission the work done by the CDRSEE and the " Towards Alternative Horizon" project organised by the IIP and other Austrian institutes. We only can hope for a new start of the reconciliation initiatives thereafter.
Brief excursion into the Middle East
I was in Thessaloniki on the day on which exactly 40 years ago, Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat shook the hand of Israeli Prime-minister Menachem Begin under the auspices of US President Jimmy Carter. It certainly was a clear and important sign of reconciliation. In some way this Reconciliation step lasts until today. Egyptian authorities are again and again negotiating a truce agreement between Israel and Hamas. Even if they are often broken, they build a minimum of a basis of understanding and "dialogue" between the two enemies.
But overall the relations between Israel and Arabs - inside and outside Israeli - are exemplary for relations of a "competitve victimhood". Both are victims - alas of a different kind. It is not about comparing and weighting the different victimization. But the Holocaust and the Nakba are both still today used to underline the respective suffering. And especially the Israeli right wing is politicizing the Holocaust permanently.
In a recent book edited by Bashir Bashir and Amos Goldberg, "The Holocaust and Nakba" this struggle about competitive victimhood is clearly analyzed. In an introduction they write: "Both events, which differ in nature and degree, have had a decisive impact on the subsequent history, consciousness, and identity of the two people. ... For the most part, each group sees its own catastrophe as a unique event and seeks to devalue or even deny the catastrophe of the other."
Every case is a special one. We cannot equate the fate of Jews in the Holocaust with that of the Arabs during Nakba and during occupation. But no peace can be found if the catastrophe felt by the "other" side is devalued or even denied. The same is true for the conflict between Albanian Kosovaars and Serbs. It is not about comparing or equating. What is needed is mutual recognition of loss and deprivation.
Returning to victimhood and reconciliation in the Balkans
As I said before, emotions have a much stronger influence than rational arguments and that is especially true for emotions in connection with victimhood. Staub and Bar-Tal, two experts on victimhood competition wrote: "Groups encode important experiences, especially extensive suffering, in their collective memory, which can maintain a sense of woundedness and past injustice through generations." And politicians are often inclined to remind citizens of "their" past sufferings in order to keep victimhood alive. And that cannot heal the wounds and promote reconciliation. It rather regenerates hate. So how to come to reconciliation?
Sally Kohn defines in her book "The opposite of hate" the conditions for reconciliation as follows: "Ultimately the opposite of hate is the beautiful and powerful reality of how we are all fundamentally linked and equal as human beings. The opposite of hate is connection." And in fact connection - human connection - always reducers hate and animosity. It is not enough to build roads and promote trade and to promote the economic connectivity. Human contacts are needed to learn to live close to each other and finally with each other. Still then the relations may be fragile. We know it from Nazis enhancing hate against Jews and we know it rather recently from the cruel civil war and genocide inside Ruanda. But also the "Yugoslav Wars' demonstrated that connection and neighborhood are no guarantee against a breakdown of civil behavior.
In all these cases politicians promoted the image of victimhood and asked for "self-defence" against the class, race or ethnie which they defined as perpetrators. Being a victim justifies in extremism killing your neighbor. Therefore a continuous questioning of these one-sided victimhood perception is necessary. Each generation has to learn again to be vigilant against what the foreign minister of North Macedonia defined as Ethno-Mythology when we met him at our visit to Skopje. History in form of tales and traditional stories or inside history books, which are repeating this picture of being an innocent victim are preparing the ground for renewed attack on neighbors including neighboring countries. Therefore history teaching can and must - in introducing a multi-perspective approach - lay the ground for reconciliation with the younger generation.
In a book, which I could edit together with my colleague Jan Marinus Wiersma, " Politics of the Past: The Use and Abuse of History we made also an interview with the famous British historian, Norman Davies. He said to us: " Full objectivity is impossible. We must strive to objectivity, but we can never quite get there. However, a historian should try to be impartial and should try and look at every event from different points of view. The best chances of getting near the truth, is to construct different perspectives before making a judgment. A historian has a duty to make a judgement, but also to state clearly "this is my opinion and this evidence I put before you". In other words historians should separate judgement from evidence"
Of course the multi-perspective approach in history teaching is only the basis for developing empathy without which reconciliation is not possible. Empathy itself supposes what can be called a disruption and unsettlement of one-sided victimhood. Bashir and Goldberg write in the afore mentioned preface to "The Holocaust and the Nakba": "As such empathic unsettlement disrupts and constantly undermines every "redeeming narrative" of suffering that offers a melancholic pleasure, and this is the source of its considerable value. One might say that it compels us to take the otherness of the other seriously." To take the "otherness of the other seriously" is not only vital for finding peace in the Middle East. It would be important to bring peace and acceptance into the relations between Kosovaars Albanians and Serbs. And in addition it would be the basis for accepting and including migrants especially from other continents in our European societies.

Progress but the fixator stays for now
Mar 3rd, 2013 by Alison
Uschi had her 12-week check-up with the orthopaedic vet on Thursday. She had x-rays taken which showed that the bone grafts were growing, but still not complete. So she needs the fixator to stay on her leg for another 6 weeks, preferably 8 weeks. One of the full pins (ones that go all the way through the leg to attach the both sides of the fixator) had come loose and had to be replaced with two new half pins (one each side).
Her leg was very sore and swollen but it's starting to reduce in swelling and she obviously finding it less uncomfortable. It'll take her a little more time before she wants to put any weight on the leg.
The weather is quite pleasant today, so she is currently sitting outside on the decking. She is enjoying sniffing the air and watching out for pesky crows and wood pigeons 🙂

Misano Adriatico, Italy – Andrea Dovizioso took an expertly-crafted victory in the Gran Premio Octo di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini, picking his way into the lead and unleashing incredible pace to secure only the second ever win for Ducati at this circuit.
His win also made it three in a row for the Ducati Team, having won at Brno and team-mate Jorge Lorenzo following that up with victory in Austria. Lorenzo was the man on the chase at Misano too, but there was late drama as the five-times World Champion slid out on the penultimate lap while holding off Honda's defending champion Marc Marquez.
Marquez came home second, with Honda privateer Cal Crutchlow putting in an impressive ride to take third.
South Africa's Brad Binder finished an incredibly close seventh in Moto2 - just 0.066s behind Fabio Quartararo - while Steven Odendaal was just outside the points in 17th on the underdeveloped NTS and Binder's younger brother Darryn, still recovering from surgery to a smashed collarbone, put in a superb rid for seventh in Moto3.
Pole-sitter Lorenzo shot out ahead as usual and got the holeshot, ahead of Pramac Ducati's Jack Miller, but Marquez was the biggest winner off the line, moving up from fifth after a crash in qualifying to slot into third - but he wasn't there long.
Dovizioso struck quickly against the reigning champion before picking off Miller, pushing hard to tag on to the back of his team-mate as Marquez then sliced past Miller as well, intent on staying in touch with the Ducati duo at the front. Sadly, disaster struck a lap later for Miller as he slid out at Turn 14.
Meanwhile Dovizioso was closing in on Lorenzo, slicing past at Turn 7 on lap six, and beginning to pull away as Marquez tagged on to Lorenzo in the battle for second, diving inside when Lorenzo ran a little wide on lap 14. But Marquez was unable to close the 1.4 second gap to Dovizioso, and a few laps later, he was under attack.
Lorenzo made it through at Turn 8 and lit the touch paper on a few spectacular exchanges between the two, but to no avail and he settled back into third to prepare another attack. Trying again a lap later but not making it through, Lorenzo then changed tactics and went for it at Turn 12.
He'd prepared the move with a couple of feints beforehand, but this time he made it stick. From there it was time to put the hammer down and Lorenzo set about cutting the gap to his team-mate. Tenth by tenth, Lorenzo was reeling him in; the gap came down to 1.3 seconds, and Dovizioso began to respond, but drama suddenly hit the front on the penultimate lap as Lorenzo suddenly slid out of second.
Free air
That left Dovizioso in free air at the front to take his first ever win at this circuit, having managed the race to perfection. Marquez took second and extended his Championship lead, with Crutchlow's impressive pace and race rewarded by a podium after the late drama.
Crutchlow had pulled free of a squabble and sliced past Suzuki's Alex Rins to get into the position to try and close in on the then-leading trio, and more than made amends for a late crash in qualifying. Rins, meanwhile, impressed on the softer compound rear tyre to get well in the initial fight and then hold great pace to the flag, not able to stay ahead of Crutchlow but nevertheless holding station in the top five until Lorenzo's late crash promoted him to fourth.
Factory Yamaha rider Maverick Viñales took fifth after dropping back slightly from a front row start and holding off some steady pressure from Dani Pedrosa on the second works Honda, who took sixth.
For Yamaha veteran Valentino Rossi, it was a difficult Sunday at home. Missing the race through injury in 2017 - as his special edition 'Back to Misano' helmet pointed out - the 'Doctor' had higher hopes for the race that takes place so close to his home town of Tavullia. He finished seventh – the same position in which he'd qualified.
Compatriot Andrea Iannone on the second Suzuki also had a tough weekend, coming home eighth, while Ducati privateer Alvaro Bautista continued his run of good form with ninth and Johann Zarco on the Yamaha Tech 3 completed the top 10.
Francesco Bagnaia converted pole position into his sixth Moto2 win of the season in his home Grand Prix, extending his Championship lead over second place Miguel Oliveira (KTM) to eight points, with the Oliviera fending off Marcel Schrötter, who scored his maiden Grand Prix podium, on the final lap.
Bagnaia grabbed the hole shot and never looked back; Mattia Pasini was his closest challenger in the opening exchanges, keeping the gap to around one second, but couldn't maintain the pace and eventually fell into the grasp of the chasing duo of Oliveira and Schrötter, who stayed locked together for the whole race.
By this time, Bagnaia had a three second gap at the front and that's the way it remained until the chequered flag. Despite Schrötter's best efforts, including an ambitious lunge up the inside at Turn 14 on the final lap, Oliveira held on to take a vital second, while Pasini defeated a late challenge from Joan Mir to take fourth at his home circuit.
Lorenzo Baldassarri fought back from 13th on the grid to take sixth, with Fabio Quartararo (Speed Up) taking seventh, less than bike length ahead of Binder. Jorge Navarro looked set for a top six finish at Misano but was forced to drop one position to behind Baldassari (who was more than three seconds behind at the time) after exceeding the track limits, and finished ninth, albeit well clear of Xavi Vierge, who put in a gritty ride to 10th despite still recovering from injury.
Lorenzo Dalla Porta posted a phenomenal debut Grand Prix victory, beating the two Gresini machines of second placed Jorge Martin and third placed Fabio Di Giannantonio on the run to the line for an all-Honda podium, after KTM privateer Marco Bezzecchi threw away his championship with a crash at Turn 15 on the penultimate lap.
The race started with drama as a huge crash unfolded on the exit of Turn 16 on lap two; after being passed by Martin, Jaume Masia highsided his KTM, leaving Honda riders Aron Canet, Enea Bastainini and Ayumu Sasaki as well as Nicolo Bulega (on the VR46 KTM with nowhere to go as all five riders all went down in a scary-looking pile-up. Thankfully all the riders walked away, with Canet and Sasaki going to the medical centre for a check-up.
That left a group of five at the front, led by Bezzecchi, with Dalla Porta, Martin, Gabriel Rodrigo (KTM) and Di Giannantonio in hot pursuit. The paint swapping then commenced, with Dalla Porta showing his strength was down the back straight and into the fast sweep of left handers, getting the better of Bezzecchi there on numerous occasions. Di Giannantonio made his way to the front from fifth, but none of the top five could make the break or hold the lead for much more than a single lap – with Bezzecchi getting two warnings for exceeding the track limits.
The quintet was feisty and ferocious and with little over two laps to go, Di Giannantonio misjudged his braking heading into the tight Turn 14, narrowly avoiding Bezzecchi and Dalla Porta as he ran up the inside. However, in what could be a championship defining moment, race leader Bezzecchi was too quick on the gas coming out of Turn 15 and high-sided out of contention with a just over a lap to go, with title rival Martin somehow avoiding being collected by his KTM.
This left Dalla Porta in charge on the final lap and despite the best efforts of Di Giannantonio on the final corner, lunging up the inside, he won the drag to the finish line to take his maiden Grand Prix win, made sweeter on home soil. Martin managed to out-run team-mate Di Giannantonio to the line to take a vital second, the latter settling for third at his home GP, with Rodrigo finishing less than a second off the lead in fourth.
Fifth was Jakub Kornfeil (KTM), the Czech rider doing an incredible job to avoid the pile-up on lap two to lead sixth place Albert Arenas (KTM) over the line. Dennis Foggia (KTM) crossed the line seventh in his home Grand Prix for his best result of the season, with Darryn Binder on the only works KTM getting his second top 10 of the season in eighth.
Andrea Migno (KTM) posted his best finish since Mugello in ninth, with Niccolo Antonelli (Honda) rounding out the top 10 in front of his home fans.

There must come a time when people see their silver lining on the horizon. For politicians, life in the halls of power can be torrent and on a number of occasions blood will be drawn when you are in the front line.
To survive such obstacles and still serve as a Member of Parliament for more than 15 years must say something about the fortitude of my brother Teina Bishop.
Tears welled up in my eyes when on Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Henry Puna announced the Deputy Prime Minister to be Teariki Heather, MP for Akaoa in Arorangi. When the announcement was made by way of a ministerial statement from Puna, "the Bishop" was not in the house. In fact, he came into the house after I put the question to the PM as to whether he made a promise to Bishop that he would be appointed as DPM. The PM denounced my question as one not worth answering and denied making such a promise.
Perhaps my use of the word "promise" was misplaced but there was indeed an understanding that the most experienced and long serving MP for government would get the deputy's job. This sort of treatment of a loyal lieutenant reminded of the deplorable way the Cook Islands Party (CIP) and Henry Puna treated the current Queen's Representative, Tom Marsters, when he was an MP. Before the elections and during a CIP conference he was overlooked as leader of the party. That was taken over by Henry. That basically blew his chances of ever becoming PM after several decades of service. Hence when the QR's post became available Tom opted for it and out of politics. We are seeing a similar treatment dished out to Teina. He was unwanted in 2010 as Minister of Finance and now rejected as DPM. Is Teina being forced to see his silver lining? Most probably!
This is nothing personal against Teariki Heather, who I understand issued an ultimatum to the PM in Cabinet that if he does not get chosen, the CIP will be in grave trouble. People say that he is not necessarily a popular person as he is choosy about what he fights on behalf of the government. He tends to maintain his silence unless an issue benefits him. I'm sure he will do his best but I'm of the view that his appointment may be the break in the back of the camel the country and the Democratic/Opposition Party is looking for. Will he be divisive because of his dominance and strong character? Will the PM now be constantly looking over his back in case he gets toppled? At least with Bishop, he relishes the role of being "putokotoko" (assistant) to his traditional leaders; Henry could enjoy the luxury of governing undistracted. I know this quality of Teina to be genuine.
The question here is where to from now on for "the Bishop"? It had taken the PM many months to make the DPM appointment. That delay gave credence to the thinking that Henry was waiting for the investigations into Bishop's relations with the Chinese multi-national fishing company Luen Thai and several of its directors.
This may take some time to complete. This perception therefore gives rise to the notion that the PM is leaving Bishop as a meal for the jackals after his head and moving on. It also fuels the speculation that the PM's favoured DPM was Minister Mark Brown, who he chose over Teina to handle the finance job. The PM says his decision had unanimous consensus among his minister's; I'm not sure about his caucus. At least the other two Aitutaki MPs would support Teina, for pride and integrity of their island and indeed for the notion that Aitutaki deserves a political reward for being the second biggest contributor to the economy of the country.
I have come to know Teina over the years and he and I have always respected each other's skills in the political arena, and he is one mean and clever operator. He has saved the governments he was a member of many a times and has been a dedicated and compassionate son of the Cook Islands. To ignore him is a travesty that could hurt this government despite his investigation. I think on this occasion, the PM has pushed my brother to cross the line of no return. There is one thing about Teina, when his mind is made up; no-one can change it.
