"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," Woods wrote. "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
He spent much of his 317-word statement pleading for privacy, saying in part, "Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."
Even as Woods confessed to unnamed sins, he continued to receive statements of support from the companies that pay him to endorse their products.Continue reading the main story
Woods is the lone athlete among the top 10 celebrity pitchmen, behind only Will Smith and
The Gillette unit of
A Gillette spokesman, Michael Norton, added on Wednesday, "At this time, we are not making any changes to our existing marketing programs."
Although the tone of that remark was neutral to positive, saying "at this time" kept Gillette's options open. Large corporations play hardball, and as Phil de Picciotto, president of Athletes & Personalities at the marketing firm Octagon, sees it, recent events have made hardball much more of a possibility in future negotiations with Woods.
"Companies may use this opportunity as an excuse to try to renegotiate compensation, given their outside budget pressures due to the economy," de Picciotto said. "Or they may take the tack that, 'We stood by Tiger, we had to suspend some advertising, and therefore there's some diminished value and we'd like a reduction in price or an extension.'
"Somebody might come in and say, 'We won't terminate Tiger, but we want a sizable reduction because we've protected Tiger and his image — we protected you when he most needed it— and we want a reduction in payments or more years.' They would need a legal hook to grab onto." If there is such a hook, "I.M.G. would have to give it to them," he said, referring to Woods's management group.
The positive refrain was the same from representatives of Gatorade. After a tepid statement on Monday that said, "Our partnership with Tiger continues," the Gatorade statement on Wednesday adopted a more personal tone. "Tiger and his family have our support as they work through this private matter," the statement read, adding, "Our partnership continues."
The show of solidarity from the businesses comprising a large segment of the $100 million-a-year Tiger Woods brand struck marketing experts as an indication that companies believe Woods has a good chance to retain his appeal as an endorser.
This despite the fact that much of the buzz generated by Woods, which has exceeded the attention he got when he burst onto the professional
The Florida Highway Patrol said that aside from a $164 citation for careless driving, Woods would not face further charges. The neighbors who rushed to his aid and called 911 offered their version of events through a lawyer on Tuesday, saying they believed Woods's injuries were caused by the crash alone.
The allegations of infidelity dominated the Wednesday news. In a widely quoted article in US Weekly magazine, Jaimee Grubbs, a
Grubbs told the magazine she met Woods at a
The PGA Tour, which is in contract negotiations with many of its title sponsors, predicates much of its appeal on the squeaky-clean reputations of its athletes. The statement issued by Woods after the voicemail was posted online was referenced in the tour's supporting of Woods.
"Tiger's statement speaks for itself," the PGA Tour statement said. "We offer our full support to Tiger and his family and will continue to honor and respect his request for privacy in this matter."
Marketing experts and analysts praised the turn taken by both Woods and the companies for whom he works.
"In his own way, Tiger is essentially saying: 'I did something wrong and I'm sorry. I'll fix it,' " Aaron Perlut, managing partner at Elasticity, a marketing agency in
"This is textbook in P.R. circles in terms of addressing an issue and bridging to a vision of moving forward," Perlut wrote. "And that should suffice in terms of helping him manage his personal brand, which is worth more than $100 million annually."
Bob Williams, the chief executive of Burns Entertainment and Sports Marketing, said the size and experience of the companies endorsed by Woods matters.
"Companies like Nike and Gatorade have a lot of experience working with the ups and down of an athlete," Williams said. "And they've had situations where athletes have gotten into trouble, so they have a stronger stomach than a consumer brand with less experience."Continue reading the main story

The Faculty Role in Civic EngagementPeer Review (2003)
Contrary to what many faculty may believe, even foundational or traditional knowledge--the province of liberal learning as traditionally understood--will not, in and of itself, result in the kind of civic literacy the country now needs. In our time, we must reinvent liberal and professional education and make socially responsive knowledge a key component of every college student's education. Nor can we reserve such concern for our colleagues in student affairs.

- Experiential learning,

(Initially, I was playing with a "wherefore art" title, but those always go awry due to the fundamental misunderstanding of how wherefore is to be used or interpreted–interesting stuff at the link!) It was a rough week. The thing about being in a bad mood, is that you're not always aware that you are in a bad mood, or, even if you know you're cranky, you may not know the reason why. I want to start this blog by apologizing to those who suffered from my mood swings these past few days. I wasn't monstrous, but I was grumpy as Hell. Finally, after a night of good food, good drinks, great company and conversations, some friends and I got to the root of my crankiness: I missed my mom.
I hadn't even realized how close to Mother's Day we were; or how close we'd come to my mom's birthday, which is around the same time. As we heal from grief, part of that process is the mind's softening of memories and sensitive dates. I used to remember this part of the year with piercing awareness and regularity. This time, these dates snuck up on me. Same with January 29th, which was when mom died; it, too, would have passed under a cloud of seemingly inexplicable moodiness this year unless my partner, the heart in my tin man, hadn't reminded me when the day came around. I wish I had as good of a grasp on death, on how to love what has gone, as some of my characters do. Morigan is tough. She takes an emotional punch, spits out blood and a few teeth, and get's ready for the next. I guess that's what authors write, though: the heroes they aspire to be (or villainous archetypes they despise).
Speaking of Geadhain's denizens, I did some solid work this week: I wrote one of two climaxes that has been building for over five years now—since I started the novels, and preceding that mark, if you count the years that Geadhain's stories echoed in my head, unwritten. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, and I assure you today's is an upbeat if bittersweet blog, however, a handful of your favorite fellows and gals died. Indeed, I thought that their passing was whence my own melancholy came. After all, I'd watched these heroes and antiheroes struggle to make themselves and their world a better place. I was rooting for these folks. But the truth of war—and life—is that it's always messy. After I wrote the Greek Tragedy of a chapter titled, The Burning City, I was particularly moved by an excerpt: a dialog between two characters who had made it through this dark climax, scathed, but alive.
The exchange goes something like the below. (Note: most of the descriptive excerpts have been snipped out, and any names changed to prevent spoilers of so pivotal a scene—there's obviously no "Sam" or "Tommy" in the manuscript. As is the nature of writing, everything you see may not even make it into the final draft!)
"I do not know what I am to do without him."
"We never do, my dear. We're still here, though, and that has to mean something." She tried to flex his crippled limb and he grunted in pain, so she took his other hand and walked down the tunnel. "We have to make it mean something for those who can't be with us. We have to get that arm of yours trussed up, too, or you won't be any good for swordplay."
Sam looked back at the bonfire roaring behind them, horrified. "Am I to leave him there?"
"He's gone. We're not, and there is a city of people—some dying, some in danger—who your brother would want us to serve. Tommy was not a romantic man, he wasn't fancy with his words or feelings. But he was a soldier: a true warrior. Duty before passion, and passion through duty. The city needs our duty and our passion. Let him burn in peace."
Seems like finding that balance between grief and hope, between healing and forgetting, is a challenge to even these brave (possibly) imaginary souls of whom I write. They were my inspiration and therapy this week, as much as the comfort of my friends and family. And the lesson shared with "Sam" resonates with many of us who have known loss: we must continue to love, we must continue to hope. We're the ones left to stumble through this glorious, confusing game called life, while the departed soar with angels, become universal energy, or reincarnate as house-cats—or whatever vision of the afterlife in which you have faith.
Now for those of you who still have mothers on this Earth, today is your day to celebrate them, to make the memories that you will cherish when they have gone into the Great Mystery. I said "hello" to mom at the cemetery today, and it was a happy, if one-sided reunion. Don't squander the day without spending time with that special woman in your life, either. Even if she's just an echo now, you can still create memories, create love when talking to a ghost. People only die when we neglect their memory.
All my love,

The former historical telephone exchange was converted into an inspiring office building
In today's Lehárgasse No. 7., hidden behind the magnificent 19th century facade lies an architectural treasure: a former telephone exchange for K. und K. Post- und Telegrafendirektion (postal and telegraphic administration) with two historic telegraph halls designed by the architect Eugen Fassbender. After spending the last decades in a deep sleep, the telegraph office under a preservation order was converted into a contemporary office building by BEHF Architects in coordination with the Federal Monuments Authority Austria (BDA).
Two halls with particularly high ceilings on the main floor represent the heart of this architectural project. The task was to connect both halls and create a new space for the headquarters of the real estate agency JP Immobilien.
The centre of the architectural concept are two minimalistic glass boxes that serve as work space and seem to be detached from the existing historical inventory, looking like large pieces of furniture: a room-in-room construction, which was placed into the opulent telegraph halls featuring stuccos restored true to original, and colourful wall paintings. The historical fabric remains unaffected and finally becomes visible after years of being hidden from the public. Therefore, the room itself is a great highlight.
In the glass boxes, there are office spaces and conference rooms. On their upper surface is a neutral, multi-purpose event area which can be used as an open-plan office, for instance. From there, bridges penetrate the listed walls and lead to service rooms that are available to everyone who works in the two main halls.
In order to make the glass boxes appear light, almost hovering, BEHF Architects chose a continuous flooring, while the glass surfaces were fitted with a fine mirror effect. By means of a screen-printing technique, an additional frosted layer was applied to the glass walls, whose pattern intensifies towards the top. This way, constructional parts are hidden, while the pedestal area stands out due to its open, transparent appearance.
The minimalistic and elegant design reappears in different other areas of the building: for example, the entire surface of the entrance portals leading to the elevator and to the offices is made of brass, while intarsias were installed on a terrazzo as floor designation. In addition, highly polished brass was fitted to the bottom view of the balconies facing the inner courtyard, so that the plants on the ground are being reflected.
Both the design concept and the lighting concept follow the principle of drawing attention to the historical substance as precisely as possible, while giving the room a functional or atmospheric effect as well. In doing so, the basic motif of blurring boundaries always prevails.

A Chinese newspaper has cleared its front page for a second day to call for police to free one of its reporters.
On Wednesday, the New Express hit news stands with the front page headline: "Release Him", referring to its detained reporter Chen Yongzhou.
On Thursday, the newspaper published another front page demand which read: "Again, we ask for his release".
Mr Chen, who wrote a series of investigative reports alleging malpractice at Zoomlion, a large machinery company based in the central Chinese city of Changsha, was detained earlier this month.
His wife told the Beijing News that both of them had been invited to their local police to discuss a case of theft that the family had filed months earlier. When they got there, however, Mr Chen was taken into a room and police who had travelled from Changsha said he would be detained.
The police said Mr Chen is under investigation for damaging Zoomlion's "commercial reputation".
Mr Chen's case has quickly gathered momentum. Although Chinese censors have asked other newspapers not to republish an initial editorial by the New Express, other reporting of the case has been permitted.
Meanwhile, the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, a government department that oversees the media, took the rare step of saying it is "very concerned" over Mr Chen's case.
"The administration would staunchly support normal media reporting and safeguard journalists' legitimate and legal rights in conducting their reporting work," an official said, according to the China Press and Publishing Journal.
In addition, the All China Journalists' Association has asked the police to ensure that Mr Chen's case is handled in a "fair and legal" manner.
Xinhua, the official news agency, said the journalist's case is "controversial" and said the police should "release more evidence or release him".

With the recent high court decision on Brexit, and its upholding in the Supreme Court, three paths now face the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in her quest to achieve independence.
The ruling Scottish Nationalist Party's (SNP) dream of achieving the full independence of modern Scotland from the rest of the United Kingdom (RUK) was given a huge fillip by the successful 'Brexit' referendum for the UK to leave the European Union (EU). Scotland was the only region of Britain to vote to remain in the EU (though turnout in Scotland, 67%, was lower than in the UK as a whole, at 72%), and this initially seemed to give First Minister Nicola Sturgeon a large amount of political and rhetorical wiggle-room to demand a second referendum on Scotland's constitutional status, after a marginally failed attempt in September 2014.
The High Court's 3 November decision that the Brexit deal will be subject to parliamentary approval, and not directly actionable by the government, will again give further space for Sturgeon to make her case. The likely upholding of the decision by the UK Supreme Court, as it was argued that leaving the EU would require major changes in UK laws over which parliament has exclusive authority, gives the SNP, who have 54 seats, a degree more leverage in the coming years of negotiation. However, while independence is the dream of the SNP, its implications make many of the Scottish public and business community wary, if not actively hostile to the prospect, despite the SNP's assertions that an independent Scotland might be able to retain, or reapply for, EU membership, something that a majority would welcome as evidenced by the Brexit result. As such, Sturgeon faces three broad paths, delineated below.
- Status Quo
Doing nothing, remaining a part of a Brexited UK. While this is inimical to the principles of the SNP it might be the most prudent political course, but it must be noted that the order of principles in the SNP constitution is independence first and welfare for the Scottish people second. The Scottish public rejected independence at the last referendum, and polls suggest that Brexit has done little to change overall sentiment towards independence, despite a brief surge following the Brexit vote. In short, the iron might have gone cold, and it will take some serious missteps by the Conservative party in Westminster to reignite the fires of indignation in Scotland, stoked by old and new grievances with the Westminster government, that would carry a second independence referendum. While we cannot rule out the Tories doing something incredibly stupid, or belittling the position of Scotland, Prime Minister Theresa May is likely to use kid gloves with the Scotland issue, not wanting to be known as the PM who both had to oversee Brexit and the breakup of the UK.
Another factor motivating the SNP must be the understanding that a fair few of their base is also the same anti-establishment, anti-Westminster base from which the Brexit campaign in scotland drew its votes. While it wouldn't be difficult to make the political case that these votes were tactical, using Brexit to force independence, and also that the anti-Westminster wing of the SNP was the die-hard core of the independence campaign, the likelihood of these voters deserting the SNP, even if they make no moves toward independence, is minimal. However, Sturgeon presides over what is in reality quite a fractious coalition of interests in the SNP: to a degree these views must be pandered to, while also attempting to maintain business confidence in Scotland.
This option, doing nothing, is probably the best for the Scottish economy in the short-run (something of which Sturgeon is acutely aware), as it will maintain business confidence in a febrile environment, and go someway to ensuring that the slightly footloose financial industries on which the economy of Edinburgh (Scotland's capital) relies, do not relocate either south of the border, or more likely, to financial centres in France and Germany. What must be understood is that Scotland currently has four times as much trade with RUK as with the EU. However, in the long run, the rewards of Scotland retaining any right of access to EU markets or reapplying for membership, would potentially be much greater than attaching to the London-dominated sinking ship of the UK. As such option 2:
- Go For It
Another independence referendum would require the passage of a bill through Westminster, for which Sturgeon has said her party already has a draft. This was a pointed message to the Conservative government that the SNP is willing to do anything to achieve its goal; the tabling of this bill would throw a further grenade into the already incredibly painful and damaging constitutional and political mess of Westminster in the wake of the Brexit vote. The argument is that opposition Labour would be in no place to oppose the bill, and the Corbyn faction might even support it, knowing that Scotland is a lost cause for their party for the next several general elections. Further, it will be claimed by the SNP that the same rubric, self-determination, under which the Brexit vote was held, cannot be denied by the Tories to the Scottish at the risk of the government being charged with gross hypocrisy and angering an SNP more than willing to use its seats and influence to throw as many spanners into the works of the Government's Brexit negotiations as possible . This legislative strategy has only been given a boost by the election of Donald Trump in the US, as the SNP can leverage chaos and disorganisation and an inevitably pandering Westminster to its rhetorical advantage.
The numbers in Westminster may still not work out, but the threat of the non-passage of the bill might be enough for May to whip the government into its passage. From the Tory side, an independent Scotland, while very damaging to the UK, would pretty much guarantee a Tory majority at the next two general elections, if not in perpetuity. Perhaps, the threat of a resurgent United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) would also drive this line of thinking.
Further, and this will be explored in a further post, the position of the EU in Brussels might be lenient towards the Scottish . This is dependent on complex politics in Madrid, Berlin and Brussels, but suffice it to say that part of the EU's punishment to a 'hard Brexiting' UK, might be to encourage the Scottish in their membership bid; the benefits of harshly punishing the English and maintaining the integrity of the EU, outweigh the negatives of encouraging sub-nationalist movements across the continent, but most notably in Catalonia.
Finally, we must acknowledge that Sturgeon is a canny political operator, and personally highly ambitious. This might be the last chance of her political lifetime to achieve something she has worked for decades to make happen. Consequences for the party, the country and the world be damned, she may just want to go down in the history books.
However, for Sturgeon, there is a third option:
- Wait And See
With the Court's decision, it is likely that Brexit negotiations are going to be far more public than the government wanted. This gives the SNP the chance to capitalise on likely future missteps by the government, and strategically table the independence bill, rather than using it as a blunt instrument.
The other avenue that the court decision might force is a general election: Westminster MPs now have to decide whether to vote with their constituencies, who mostly voted for Brexit, or their rationality and consciousnesses which would advocate for a 'soft-Brexit' if not a block on the whole process; most MPs backed remain. This dichotomy can only really be solved with a general election, which would likely only strengthen the SNP , convince Labour of the lost-cause nature of Scotland, and the Tories of the near-permanent electoral advantage of an independent Scotland.
In conclusion, there is an incredible febrility to the situation in the UK right now; the SNP, if they so wish, and see in their Scottish constituents a desire to do so, could heartily leverage the Government's disarray, constitutional and political, to achieve independence. Though the risks, not getting back into the EU, killing Scotland's fragile economic recovery, uncertainty over currency and constitution, a continued low-oil price, a potential funding gap of £15bn, might outweigh the benefits. Uncertainty reigns, but Sturgeon is one of the most talented politicians in the UK right now , and her positions and manoeuvres should be rightly watched diligently.
It must be remembered that she is the head of a party with one goal, and a single mission: achieve independence. Brexit has handed them a golden opportunity to achieve this goal, but whether they can capitalise on it remains to be seen.

Thank youJune 7, 2018 at 6:13 pm #22067
I don't know if you seen the pictures..
But you can use that edit to hide the thing that i'm asking for..
I still want the listing to have the map and contact info, but the ON/OFF feature on the submit listing needs to be removed and the preset to always be on! (It's to confusing for listers, speaking from experience from people that had to sign up)
Also when saving the lisitng, so you can preview the finished product, is it normal that you have to wait 2 min for it to load it?
Attachments:You must be logged in to view attached files.June 7, 2018 at 6:14 pm #22069

Ok, I will ask our developer about this, I think he will ok with this.
Thank youJune 13, 2018 at 4:07 pm #22251
It would make customer less confused, and improve the user experience! 🙂
What are the plans of developing this:
I love your theme design and listing design setup
But this other theme has an amazing sumbit listing process that I would love if your theme got too!
(See link: https://classic.listingprowp.com/submit-listing/ )
1. The First Functionality!
When you are choosing a category, it renders the possible features, info and more for that Specific Category, that the lister can check off if some of the things apply to them. (See Choose category.jpg)
I would love if this theme where able to do the same? (instead of having preset features for every one in that category)
2. The Second Functionality
It kinda connects with the other, because when you add the different possible features, you are then able to filter with them on the map listing page.
3. The Third Functionality
Its really just nice to have, but the way that they displayed how the profil is gonna look, and where the information is gonna display!
Hope to hear from you!
Sincerely AndclaJune 15, 2018 at 2:41 pm #22373
1 – I think the feature is working the same. You have to select available feature for specific category then listing author can check which features their listings have.
2 – The feature filter is working. And each category has its own available features for filter.
3 – Would you give me more info?
thanks.June 19, 2018 at 1:48 am #22486
It is how the (https://classic.listingprowp.com/submit-listing/) is setup with pictures describing where its gonna be and so on.

Little Mermaid // Gold Coast Local
Alexandria Mavis
This post came along because we really want to start featuring more hidden gems around the Gold Coast and share more about what life is like here on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Little Mermaid is an old favourite of Cassandra's recently remodelled with a new, fresh, gorgeous coastal vibes and a brand new menu (the sweet potato fries and pulled pork nachos are divine!). The menu is so good and so creative, they even have watermelon pizza!! Another thing we love, all the produce is sourced locally.

After his early adventures as a midshipman and lieutenant and his first command as captain, here we begin to see the mature Hornblower, sent on an extremely long and hazardous mission to the other side of the world, where he is entirely cut off from any possible support from a fleet commander or brothers in arms of any sort. The risks he faces go far beyond those faced in battle, to include messy, unpredictable international politics with shifting alliances. His determination and resourcefulness are tested to the limit, in twice having to attack and defeat an opposing vessel much more powerful than his own. And in the course of his journey, he meets and falls in love with the woman who will change his life forever.
As with all the Hornblower stories, this one is enhanced by rich detail about large sailing vessels and the harsh realities of life aboard a warship under sail, where the outcome of a battle may often hinge on a shift in the weather.

Patent attempted for human and ape lab chimera
A New York scientist's seven-year effort to win a patent on a laboratory-conceived creature that is part human and part animal ended in failure Friday, closing a historic and somewhat ghoulish chapter in American intellectual-property law.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected the claim, saying the hybrid, designed for use in medical research but not yet created, would be too closely related to a human to be patentable.
Paradoxically, the rejection was a victory of sorts for the inventor, Stuart Newman of New York Medical College in Valhalla, N.Y. An opponent of patents on living things, he had no intention of making the creatures. His goal was to set a legal precedent that would keep others from profiting from any similar "inventions."
But in an age when science is increasingly melding human and animal components for research - already the government has allowed many patents on "humanized" animals, including a mouse with a human immune system - the decision leaves a crucial question unanswered: At what point is something too human to patent?
Officials said it was not so difficult to make the call this time because Newman's technique could easily have created something that was much more person than not. But newer methods are allowing scientists to fine-tune those percentages, putting the patent office in an awkward position of being the federal arbiter of what is human.
The Newman case reveals how far U.S. intellectual-property law has lagged behind the art and science of biotechnology. The Supreme Court has addressed the issue of patenting life only once, and that was 25 years ago.
It also raises profound questions about the differences - and similarities - between humans and other animals, and the limits of treating animals as property.
"The whole privatization of the biological world has to be looked at," Newman said, "so we don't suddenly all find ourselves in the position of saying, 'How did we get here? Everything is owned."'
Newman's application, filed in 1997, described a technique for combining human embryo cells with cells from the embryo of a monkey, ape or other animal to create a blend of the two - what scientists call a chimera. That's the Greek term for the mythological creature that had a lion's head, a goat's body and a serpent's tail.

Bit-by-bit I'm moving back to the IndieWeb. Starting small, but I'm already seeing benefits.
When MyOpenID shuttered, Aaron Parecki was quick to answer my call on Twitter. His blog post about setting up IndieAuth as a replacement was quick to implement. Today I used my own domain to sign into Web Standards Sherpa – So easy!
So far I've:
Implemented WebMentions
Started using POSSE (Publish Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) a little more
Used a semantic WordPress Theme
Added back the
rel="me" links
Using Semantic Linkbacks
As I'd let this blog go fallow, I'm sad that a lot of this I was already doing. Hand-coding the XFN classes to my blogroll was something I had to update on a weekly basis. But falling into the habit of consuming and supplying content to the big silos made it easy to overlook that, as well as the rise in my use of connected devices.
As always, Jeremy Keith wrote a great piece on the web turning 25. At the end he wrote
That's another killer feature of the web: you don't need anyone else. You can publish to this world-changing creation without asking anyone for permission.
This is what we used to do. Mainly because there wasn't any other way, but maybe it's time we try to get back to that. Even just a little.

Black Weekend On The Lanzarote Roads
Five people were injured in an accident involving two cars on Sunday on the LZ-2, going up to the roundabout in the direction of Uga.
The crash happened at around 1:30 p.m.Three ambulances, Civil Guard and Local Police attended the scene. Firefighters had to release the occupants of one of the vehicles as they had become trapped inside by their seat belts.
Although this was a weekend without major public events and crowds, the last few day brought tragic events for the roads of the island.
From the early hours of last Saturday, news was released of a fatal traffic accident in which a 19-year-old Irish motorcyclist lost his life in a collision with a car on the Lz 40, near Rancho Texas.
Later a vehicle overturned near Güime and there was another accident in the capital, Arrecife.

Wednesday, 27 April 2005 12:00 AM
The New York Times, the creator of Castro's myth (thanks to the famous series of articles by Herbert Matthews that began in February 1957; according to the tyrant himself, "I owe my job" to that newspaper), was one of the sponsors of the 6th Havana Film Festival. On April 18 this pro-Castro-propaganda film festival showed the documentary "Miami-Havana" by Estela Bravo.
While talking to a Cuban defector, I mentioned that I had seen on the local PBS station in Washington, D.C., the 1992 documentary "Miami-Havana." To my surprise she said: "Oh yeah, Estela Bravo. She is a Castro collaborator."
Being Cuban also, and knowing the different outlook and perspective that firsthand experience inside a totalitarian communist society brings, I thought that this defector – who was involved in the performing arts in Cuba – might have a point. At the same time, that statement worried me, since our perspective as anti-Castro has been so harshly criticized and misunderstood by the U.S. media and so many in the U.S.
So I decided to get some information from the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), the Washington, D.C., distributor of Estela Bravo's documentary.
What I received from Arwen Donahue, the documentary publicist at the IPS, was revealing. It was Estela Bravo's curriculum and an article by Andres Viglucci published by the Miami Herald on September 24, 1993, about the showing of her documentary on PBS.
Almost everything in this curriculum, and details in the article, fits the profile of what the defector implied when calling Bravo a "collaborator."
It's going to be difficult to explain what the defector meant, unless you come from the inside and are acquainted with the mechanisms of a communist society. According to my experience in the U.S., it's very difficult for Americans to comprehend or relate to the complex daily survival routine of people trapped inside a regime like the one Castro imposed upon Cuba. As a friend of mine still in Cuba hinted in a letter, it's "totally surrealist."
In my attempt to understand where this documentary came from, I found that Bravo, an American born in New York City in 1933, has, since 1963, been dividing her time between Havana and New York.
In the early 1960s many so-called "true believers" of the Castro revolution began arriving in a sort of pilgrimage to Cuba. Castro gave his true believers coveted jobs, expropriated houses and apartments in exclusive areas, access to foreigner-only stores and schools for their children and other privileges not allowed to ordinary Cuban citizens (the beginning of apartheid in Cuba).
That explains Estela Bravo's privilege of commuting between Havana and New York since 1963, in contrast with Cubans who lost that simple freedom under Castro.
I learned that Bravo briefly had a folk music radio show in Cuba and that she worked for the Cuban government in a cultural institute. Also, her Argentinean husband, Ernesto Bravo, a biochemistry professor she married in 1956 and who collaborated on all her films, was given a job in 1963 at the University of Havana as professor of medicine.
There is nothing wrong with any of this in any free and democratic society, but Castro's Cuba is neither. If you are a Cuban and you know the mechanism behind all these shenanigans, you understand perfectly what the defector meant.
With the knowledge I have of the Cuban situation under Castro I ask myself, where are the sympathies of this foreign couple? They joined the herd of true believers and went to work for Castro's regime. Therefore he awarded them with privileges and desirable jobs. Never mind all the freedoms and human rights Castro castrated.
Apparently Castro became the leader of their new cult. That's the only way I can explain joining something like that of your own accord. The defector's comment seems not so far-fetched after all.
Then I remembered that the defector also said that Estela Bravo is very well known in Cuba and that her documentaries are shown regularly on government-controlled Cuban TV. That means a lot, since in that heavily censored propaganda machine (the Cuban media), when something is shown regularly it means that it is beneficial to Castro's goals.
In Estela Bravo's list of documentaries I see a lot of familiar far left militant themes. She has been reviewed and recognized by the official Cuban Communist Party newspaper, Granma. Commented leftie American folk singer Pete Seeger, "Deep down is her wonderful internationalist outlook." I must clarify that in communist jargon, "internationalist" means a person who goes to other countries to work and fight for the advancement of the communist cause.
She received glowing comments from Castro's official filmmaker, the late Tomas Gutierrez Alea, and official national poet, the late Nicolas Guillen. You don't get those kinds of official accolades unless you belong to Castro's fan club and serve his goals.
I also found good comments by leftie American writer and filmmaker Saul Landau, who because of his pro-Castro views has been referred as "an incurable Fidelista" by analyst Don Kowet.
In The Miami Herald article Estela Bravo wouldn't discuss her specific political views or sympathies for Castro's regime. That also fits the profile of the true believer or collaborator. They invariably duck the question and dive away through a tangent line. She said, "I believe I was honest in making this documentary." If she is really "honest," why does she duck this most relevant question?
"We didn't want to be political," she said. However, "Miami-Havana" is very much a pro-Castro, anti-U.S., politically left-leaning documentary.
"We want to show the human cost of this terrible war." What war? Perhaps she is referring to the war Castro has been conducting against the Cuban people since 1959! But somehow I doubt very much that is what she meant. I think she meant – echoing Castro – the war that the Yankees declared on Cuba. Again, what war?
I must point out that the slogan featured in this documentary, "Cuba Si, Yankees No!" was created by Castro for the Communist International parade on May 1, 1960, just 15 months after he took control in Cuba and three months prior to his appropriation of all American properties in Cuba.
Even prior to that, Castro had already declared his own war against the U.S. to "fulfill his destiny," as he wrote to his secretary, the late Celia Sanchez, in June 1958. Now we know what war.
Estela Bravo made "Miami-Havana" as a privileged foreigner in Cuba, with the freedom of traveling between Havana, Miami and New York pitching Castro's survival scheme: to lift the U.S. embargo. That is the political message and objective of her documentary – and, conveniently, Castro's current goal. So it is a political documentary after all.
In this 1992 anti-U.S. embargo and pro-relations-with-good-old-Castro documentary, Bravo also conveniently ignores the fact that Castro has been circumventing the U.S. embargo for years. Castro has been buying through Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, Italy, Japan and other capitalist countries.
I'm sure that Estela Bravo and her husband didn't experience the same scarcity in Cuba as the typical Cuban citizen has for 46 years. Don't they feel any guilt about this peculiar duality? This documentary doesn't explain that before Castro, Cuba produced its own food for consumption and even export. Can Estela Bravo explain what happened to pre-Castro productivity?
The problem obviously is not the U.S. embargo, as Castro's propaganda has been claiming for decades. Estela Bravo, through her "honest" documentary, keeps reinforcing ad nauseam Castro's repetitive claim in order to dupe American audiences yet again.
The clear political objective this documentary pursues is to appeal to the uninformed American audience at the grassroots level so they start lobbying the U.S. government to lift the embargo and allow Americans to visit Cuba as tourists and investors - just what Castro needs to continue his reign of terror. Never mind the real feelings and desires of the oppressed little Cuban people.
Estela Bravo even asserts, speaking for over a million exiles in the U.S. alone (about 3 million worldwide) that "I believe the majority of people want to normalize relations." Somehow I don't think so, in Estela-Fidel terms. We want to see our loved ones living with dignity, human rights and freedom in a democratic society, but those are anathema to Castro.
Echoing Castro's claims, Estela Bravo's documentary portrays the Cubans as being lured from their island paradise by the bad exiles and U.S. propaganda. That has to be a joke! Estela, in your zeal I think you went a tad too far. In the years I have been out of Cuba in Canada, Europe and the United States, I have never met a Cuban who was lured in the fashion this "honest" documentary implies.
All the Cubans I know have left everything and risked their lives to escape in shark-infested waters in search of freedom (about 77,824 documented deaths trying to escape through the Florida Straits). Those escapes and defections are symptomatic of all communist tyrannies around the globe. Historically, human beings can't stand to live under so much oppression. That is a fact of life.
All throughout this "honest" documentary - selected as one of the 10 Best Documentaries of 1992 by the PBS-POV (Point Of View) series – we are "tricked or treated" with the multiple incursions of "expert" Wayne Smith (the Dean of American apologists of Castro from the IPS) espousing the message of lifting the U.S. embargo.
And we are forced to see and hear Wayne Smith, wearing his promotional T-shirt of the Pan American Games (an event Castro happily used to advance his propaganda), asserting, "If elections were held today he probably still would win." "Still"? Castro has never been democratically elected to anything in Cuba!
"He probably still has the support, it may be resigned support, but the support. Another thing is that the Cuban people see no alternatives." Facing such speculation from "expert" Wayne Smith, I would like to pose the question: If Castro is so popular, why did he announce on April 9, 1959, that there would be no elections – a time when he supposedly was at the peak of his popularity?
And why do "the Cuban people see no alternatives"? I think I can answer that: Because Castro has made sure there are none.
Another characterization we have to sit through in this documentary, again from Wayne Smith's World (now referring to pro-Castro Cubans) is that "Cubans morally are very sensible, moderate people. You don't have these extremes." And referring to Cuban exiles, "But what you have in Miami, I think, is a very extreme, ultra-right group who want no kind of improvement on relations between the two countries."
Well, well, well, Wayne and Estela, for your information – as if you really care – the only thing Cubans have ever wanted since 1959 is a return to a democratic form of government, as originally promised by Castro, with respect for law, order, freedom and human rights for all and respect for family, private property and private enterprise. We also want the reinstatement of our 1940 Constitution, one of the most modern and progressive in the world, which Castro discarded on February 7, 1959 – when his regime was just 38 days old!
For these simple desires, we have been chastised, vilified, accused of being reactionary and "extreme ultra right." I guess the majority of Americans can be classified that way, too.
Why do Estela and her husband live and work in Cuba, a country whose un-elected ruler formed an illegitimate Mafia-like government, discarding the Constitution?
I don't think I have enough space to continue dissecting all the inaccuracies, misinformation and propaganda contained in this documentary on an issue that it so obviously misrepresents. I don't even think that it qualified for the PBS-POV TV series, because according to Marc Weiss, co-executive producer of POV, in the Miami Herald article, the documentaries in that series "are supposed to carry a strong point of view."
He explains that it doesn't have to be "journalistically balanced in the traditional sense." However, in the same article Estela was quoted saying, "We represented all views as much as we could." So, how can the documentary represent "a" point of view and "all views" at the same time?
As a friend of the late Oscar-winning cinematographer, filmmaker and writer Nestor Almendros, I am familiar with his trials and tribulations in his attempt to get financing and airtime on PBS for his documentaries "Improper Conduct" and "Nobody Listened."
The first one, while shown and praised all over the world, was aired by just a few local U.S. PBS stations but not by PBS nationally.
The second one, which also received international acclaim, was finally aired by PBS in August 1990, after a lot of hassle, in a truncated hourlong edition (contrary to what its creator intended), in tandem with a Saul Landau pro-Castro documentary.
It is very revealing that when PBS has to choose between documentaries ridden with misinformation and propaganda covering up Cuba's tragedy (the "charismatic" Castro version) rather than those exposing the true nature of the facts, the fantasy always wins.
Even PBS's "Frontline" rejected "Nobody Listened," stating, "Frontline doesn't produce anti-Communist programs." Apparently, "Frontline" is not "journalistically balanced" either.
Nestor Almendros said in 1990 that he believed, when it comes to documentaries, the taxpayer-funded network leans unashamedly toward the political left. "The only country that resisted [showing his documentaries], the only place where was still strong pro-Castro sentiment, was the U.S."
When Nestor Almendros tried to get "Nobody Listened" on the PBS-POV series, after a lot of back-and-forth games, it was rejected for one reason or another. Marc Weiss noted, "I never supposed I'd get such a strong negative response from the committee."
In reference to the last rejection of PBS to include "Nobody Listened" because or was "too late" for POV's upcoming season, Almendros said, "There is something very wrong somewhere when PBS, founded by American people, who are the world's greatest enemy of communism, refuses to broadcast by itself a film about Cuba's communist dictator."
PBS appears to be not so finicky when dealing with documentaries of Estela Bravo's political persuasion – even though she doesn't want to talk about it and claims her documentary is apolitical.
And literally finishing off "Miami-Havana," I must not overlook the incredible ending sequence of the returning Mariel "excludables." Estela doesn't even mention that one of the demands following riots in the U.S. jails, where they were in detention, was that they REMAIN IN U.S. JAILS RATHER THAN BE RETURNED TO CUBA. How conveniently forgotten! Brava, Estela Bravo!
In her myopic vision she interviewed some of these people on their ominous trip back to Cuba. Cubans, very much aware of what they have to say in order to save their skins, blamed everything on the U.S. and had to express relief at finally being on the way back to their beloved Castroland.
After landing on the real promised land, they are shown being liberated from the U.S. shackles by friendly Cuban police at the airport while Estela uses on the sound track a known-to-be-Castro-official Cuban singer setting the mood. Then the happy ex-excludables (whom Castro forced to the U.S. in 1980) are shown leaving the Combinado del Este prison east of Havana while the same happy music plays.
Then incredibly, and to my astonishment, Estela showed them going inside police cars and being delivered to their individual families for a happy reunion!
As a Cuban accustomed to these kinds of displays of "humanity" from Castro's authorities, I started laughing.
But should I be cynical or thankful? Probably thankful, because if it had not been for the opportune presence of friendly Estela's camera, I could not have witnessed this "realistic" staging of the facts. Estela strikes again! Bravo, PBS-POV, certainly a transparent and honest documentary about Estela's beliefs!
Estela had the right to make her documentary, and taxpayer-funded PBS and the National Endowment for the Arts had the right in 1993 to sponsor the POV broadcast and now this New York Times pro-Castro film festival in New York City to show it. But being free in the U.S., I also have the right to criticize this dishonest piece of pro-Castro political propaganda.
There is nothing like freedom. One day, not far in the future, I hope, Cubans will enjoy freedom in Cuba in spite of the efforts of collaborators like Estela Bravo.

Jackson and Ian Griffith were at Noblesville West Middle school when a fellow classmate brought a gun to school and fired it in the classroom. While neither children were physically injured by a bullet, Jackson sprained his ankle while running during the school evacuation, and the whole family experienced the trauma of fearing for his life - not knowing where he was or why he was being rushed to the hospital.
The boys and their family continue to cope with the lingering psychological impact of the shooting.
"We were having a restroom break so we were outside of the classroom, and then we heard a thunder of people running downstairs, and my teacher said, "Get in the classroom! Get in the classroom!" Two minutes later there's an announcement to the school that there's an active shooter and we barricaded the room by putting desks and chairs in front of the door."
"My immediate reaction once I heard the news of the school shooting was just absolute fear. I immediately left in a dead sprint to my car to get to the hospital where Jackson was to find out what was going on and the safety of my children. The hour that I was waiting to hear from Jackson, it was surreal. It was horrible… I was scared, and praying, and bargaining, and all the deals you make in your head that make sure that he's okay."
"I got to the high school and I got ushered away, because I was the brother of the kid who fractured his ankle. [The Principal] ushered me through the hallways, which was the scariest moment of my life because there were SWAT members there and they had these huge guns. The first day back from school, I was worried [it] was going to happen again…maybe there's a person that thought, "I'm going to go finish the job, because [the shooter] didn't kill anybody."
"I'm a Marine Corp veteran. [When] I went into a combat zone, I had an opportunity to get myself ready for that experience. Fortunately, I was able to walk away from that experience, and I'm fine. But who wants to send their children into a combat zone? We're sending our children into combat zones, essentially, every day. They're not prepared for that. They're not expecting that they're going to be going into a school where there could be gunfire".

Seven signs and symptoms you have leaky gut syndrome
Having problems with your digestive can often lead to or be the cause of irritable bowel syndrome or leaky gut syndrome. In order to assess whether you have leaky gut syndrome or not, it is important to know what signs and symptoms to be on the look-out for. Whatever you do, do not self-diagnose – if you feel that you have any of these symptoms, consult a physician.
So how do you know if you have a leaky gut?
- Food sensitivities – People affected by food sensitivities oftentimes find that leaky gut is to blame. Because of the onslaught of toxins that enter the bloodstream, the immune systems of people with intestinal hyperpermeability are on overdrive mass-producing various antibodies, which makes their bodies more susceptible to antigens in certain foods (especially gluten and dairy).
- Inflammatory bowel disease – Researchers from Hungary have recently uncovered that elevated gut permeability is oftentimes localized to the colon in people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Another study suggests that, for Crohn's disease patients, leaky guy is prevalent in a majority cases and even up to 10% – 20% of their "clinically healthy relatives," which suggests a potential genetic component. Zinc supplementation has been found to be quite effective at tightening up the intestinal tight junctions in these cases.
- Autoimmune disease – The key to understanding how leaky gut can cause an autoimmune disease is through the research done on a protein known as "zonulin." Zonulin is the only physiological modulator of intercellular tight junctions described so far that is involved in trafficking of macromolecules and, therefore, in tolerance/immune response balance. When the finely tuned zonulin pathway is deregulated in genetically susceptible individuals, both intestinal and extra-intestinal autoimmune, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders can occur. Eating gluten can oftentimes trigger this dangerous cascade.
- Thyroid problems – One of the autoimmune diseases that leaky gut syndrome may directly affect is Hashimoto's disease. Also known as "chronic thyroiditis," this disorder can lead to hypothyroidism, impaired metabolism, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and a host of other concerns.
- Malabsorption – Various nutritional deficiencies result from leaky gut include vitamin B12, magnesium and key enzymes that help digest food. It is recommended that people with leaky gut supplement with a whole foods based multi-vitamin and live probiotic to not only help digest the food that they eat, but to make sure that they get the vital nutrition that they need.
- Inflammatory skin conditions – First described over 70 years ago, the gut-skin connection theory has described how intestinal hyper-permeability can cause a slew of skin conditions; particularly acne and psoriasis. Generally, dangerous creams and drugs are prescribed for these skin disorders, yet they can oftentimes be fixed by healing the gut!
- Mood issues and autism – According to a study published in the journal Neuro Endocrinology Letters, leaky gut has been shown to cause various neurocognitive disorders. For example, the inflammatory response characteristic of intestinal hyperpermeability triggers the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other chemicals that induce depression.
Do not take these signs and symptoms lightly – if you feel that you are a likely candidate of leaky gut syndrome, consult a doctor immediately. With the right diet and medication, you will be able to treat the cause of your leaky gut syndrome!
Helping you find a natural cure to your bowel problems is where Dr Alain Sanua can assist you. As a foremost practitioner in naturopathy and homeopathy, Dr Alain Sanua will be able to assist you with your leaky gut disorder and so much more!

ICE JAM FLOOD OF MARCH 11, 1992 March 11, 1992Posted by thenaturalist in Floods/High Water, Ice Jams.
On March 11, 1992, an ice jam in the Winooski River caused catastrophic flooding in Montpelier. Heavy late-winter rains combined with an ice jam just below where the North Branch and the Winooski River converge. The fast-rising flood caught everyone by surprise. Using a crane, city workers broke up the ice jam late that day, allowing the river to flow normally and prompting the floodwaters to recede. The final damage estimate was about $5 million the city said.
