Fernando Alonso is set to keep an eye on the ABB FIA Formula E Championship over the coming season and could consider competing in the all-electric series in 2019-20.
The two-time Formula 1 world champion didn't consider a drive for the 2018-19 season despite what are described as "informal talks" with the promoter, and currently only has an FIA World Endurance Championship program confirmed for 2019 after leaving Formula 1.
Alonso remains a target for a possible 2019-20 FE drive, according to Formula E Holdings Ltd., which has some close friends and associates of the Spaniard among its senior management.
"We've been speaking to Fernando on a friendly and informal basis for a while and he's always been very clear with us," a Formula E spokesperson told e-racing365.
"Hopefully he will take a closer look at our championship and appreciate how much drivers can make a difference in our races and then evaluate his interest on whether to join the pack.
"It will then be up to teams to go after such a great talent, but he'll always be welcome in our championship."
E-racing365 understands that the recent vacancy at Nissan e.dams alongside Alonso's current Toyota Gazoo Racing WEC teammate Sebastien Buemi was never seriously considered as an option.
It's believed Alonso wants to weigh up his post-F1 career options rather than jump into a clash between his WEC commitments with Toyota and an immediate Formula E seat.
Alonso is committed to Toyota's LMP1 program through the end of the 2018-19 'Super Season', which includes the next four races and ends with the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June.
His deal with the Japanese manufacturer is purely a 'racing contract' and does not include any specific promotional or advertising roles.
Theoretically, a similar deal with a different brand in Formula E could allow for Alonso to balance two programs, but this is now understood not to be an option until the end of 2019 at the earliest.
Buemi is believed to have more intricate contracts with Toyota and Nissan but has been able to represent both brands.
It remains unknown if he has an image rights clause which would dictate how he is used in promotional material for his Nissan deal.

Yeah, for a while now that this rumor of Alonso joining FE is circulating. Would be very interesting if it does happen. But first I believe he is committed to be a WEC champion, then race in Indy500 again and maybe just then that he would consider to join FE which does match his 2019-20 time-frame…
After slagging off Honda, he's not wanted in Indycar either…
last year he did race in the Indy500 with Honda engine – that failed on him too btw…
Manufacturers don't hold hard feelings because in the end it's always about business.
Would love to see him come into FE.
now that he realized that he won't be a 7 times F1 champion he will snag all champion titles possible in other championships since he's offered a winning car. The reason his is racing in WEC with Toyota is because their team now is the dominant one with the departure of Audi and Porsche.
If a winning FE team does offer him a seat, I'm convinced that he'll take it.
He wants to be remembered as one of the greatest drivers by history and more than to have 7 F1 world titles is to have 7 ones in different top motorsport categories: F1, WEC, FE, IndyCar, WTCR, WRX…
That way he's basically The King of Motorsport
He is really starting to show himself as someone who absolutely has to have attention directed at him. Drama follows him every stop he makes.

As you probably heard in the news, the storms in Texas have been pretty brutal. Just like my trip to Odessa, I had to go to Laredo to replace a router and get the internet working. Both sites were taken down by the storms and had fried routers. We also had difficulties getting the site up remotely, so I was scheduled to go on site.
That same week I was on call. The night before, I decided to go to bed halfway early at 8:30. By 10:00, I received a call from a user that couldn't connect. Long story short, a server that had been rebooted had issues bringing up a service that controlled remote connections. I was in the office until 3am working with our managed services provider to get that working again.
I then went home and got a few hours of sleep. I got back into work and hit the road for Laredo to put out that fire. At least this was only a 3 hour drive versus a 6 hour drive like I had to Odessa. I got on site and started working on the issue. I had to wait for the ISP to come on site to get the modem working. This meant I had to sit in the booth and watch the scenery to pass the time.
As I looked out the booth I could see cars constantly passing by. It never seemed like there was a break in the traffic.
An interesting thing I noticed was a Milwaukee Brewers sticker on the microwave in the booth. I asked who was the Brewers fan and they told me someone found the sticker in a Cracker Jack box and put it on the microwave. At least they found a good sticker to put on the microwave.
It was around lunch time during my wait. My coworkers at the booth knew a guy who picked stuff up on his bike from local restaurants and then delivered it. They gave him a call with our order. I got some beef ribs. It was definitely good, but spicy.
After all the work was done and I did my onsite checklist, I headed to the hotel.
The view wasn't too bad.
Since I was running on limited sleep, I passed out soon after I came to the hotel. I actually got a good's night sleep and then hit the road first thing in the morning. I made it back in the late morning and then finished out the day and then off to a lazy weekend sitting around since I was still on call.

|Effects of artificial lighting on Namib Desert bats
|Presented by
|Angela Curtis
|11th April 2019
|At 7pm
|Swakopmund Museum Lecture Hall
On Thursday the 11th of April at 7pm Angela Curtis from the Gobabeb Research and Training Center will present a lecture about the research into the effects of artificial light on Namib Desert bats. The speaker will be presenting in English.
The entrance is free of charge, as a contribution to the Scientific Society & Museum we kindly ask for a donation. All the donations will go to the Save the Rhino Trust Namibia.
The Topic
The widespread use of artificial lighting has only occurred within the last 100 years and is estimated to be increasing at a rate of 6% annually.
Life on earth has evolved over millions of years exposed to natural cycles of light and darkness which control hormone release, migration, breeding, feeding, predation, navigation and periods of activity for most species.
The change in timing of dark and light periods affects many different animal and plant taxa. Bats are one taxon of animals affected by artificial lighting. Some species avoid lighting while others thrive on the insects aggregated around lights.
As insectivorous bats occupy a high trophic level in the ecosystem, changes in bat assemblage species composition and prey species selection can have far reaching impacts at lower trophic levels.

This is a guest post by Mike, my friendly neighbor to the north, at the Godless Cranium. He graciously invited others to post to his blog and we agreed to exchange posts. I respect his views and confirm that our correspondence online and off makes him a person I would gladly fellowship with. I'm glad to see him actively blogging again.
Mike, thank you for adding value to our home here. – – Pascal
First off, thank you for the opportunity to post a piece on your blog. I'm sorry for the delay. Without getting into too much detail, I was dealing with multiple issues that unfortunately took me away from my blog for some time.
However, I'm glad to be back and I hope you and your readers enjoy my take on how I approach religious friends and acquaintances.
Let Us Begin
Most of my family is religious. My mom talks about my dad being in heaven. She also reminisces about how anything that dies is also up there with my dad, and to be honest I just grin and bear it. My mom is aware of my non-religiosity and she agrees with most of my reasoning but she's religious and that's not going to change any time soon. She doesn't attend church and thinks that organized religion is just there to suck money from you, but overall she believes in God and the bible etc.
I grew up around religion. I live in a culture where Christianity is prominent and I've grown fairly used to it. Over the years I've created a sort of code of ethics when dealing with religion. Here's a few examples.
I'm a social worker and I work primarily with the deaf/blind. I avoid religious talk at work. I've accompanied clients to church and sat through the sermon. I've said a prayer for a client just going to bed. If asked about religion, I deflect because I don't think it belongs in my professional life. When I'm at work, I'm there to serve my clients and if they find comfort in me praying with them, then I'll be doing just that.
At social functions I do not bow my head in prayer. I do not pray. I do not sing hymns. I do not profess faith in a deity I do not believe in.
At functions or in public areas where I'm not working, I do not support religion. I do not actively go out of my way to embarrass people etc., but I also don't partake in what religion is offering.
Personal Life
If you know me at all, you will probably figure out I'm not a believer. If you ask me about religion in a non-professional atmosphere, I will discuss my views with you. I will try to do so in a polite manner unless pushed to the brink with torture threats (like Hell) or other religious inanities. I've been told that I'm the anti-Christ on more than one occasion, for example, and that I have 'weird views' on religion as a whole.
That's fine. I make sure that I don't actively hide my religious views. I'm openly atheist without being in-your-face about it. But if asked or drawn into a conversation about religion, I will speak my thoughts.
I believe being openly atheist is important, since many, many people can't be. Some atheists fear for their lives, some fear losing their family and friends etc. I'm lucky enough not to fear those things. I live in a part of the world where I'm free to speak my mind about religion. Sure, I may take a few social consequences, but I'm fine with that.
My wife was a Catholic when I met her and she is very much aware of my atheism. As are my step-kids, kids and close friends. We've had religious discussions and they are aware of my reasons for not believing. I never told my kids I was an atheist when they were growing up and I supported their right to choose religion or non-belief as they saw fit. My son believes in God and my daughter doesn't much care about religion one way or the other. I love my family whether they are religious or not. I've even offered to attend church with my wife if it was important to her, as long as she didn't expect me to bow my head (or kneel) and pray or in any other way compromise my own ethics. I would gladly (well…semi-gladly) sit quietly through a sermon if she wanted me too.
Basically, I try to strike a balance. I don't pretend to be religious but sometimes I must put my religious and non-religious differences aside to help people I work with or care about. I'm proud of my atheism, because it took me a long time to arrive at. It meant many hours of reading and examining. It meant years of self-discovery, and I'm now comfortable with my non-belief in God.
However, that doesn't mean I don't challenge that non-belief on a regular basis. I read many religious writings and constantly strive to find good arguments against my position.
I hope you and your readers enjoyed the post and thank you once again for the opportunity to post on your blog. As you probably know, I enjoy your writings very much.

Hello !
I'm Amanda, interior designer and your personal design coach.
Are you ready to create your new dream home?
You might already have a lot of ideas about what you like and the way you want to live, but taking these ideas and turning them into a concept that your tradespeople can understand is a whole other thing.
A great design needs to balance all these ideas, while also allowing you to create a cohesive space that feels good – not only stylish, but also practical and reflects YOU.
Unfortunately, all these elements don't just fall into place and it's definitely not as easy as we make it look on TV. Like all projects, you need a really clear plan and to understand all the decisions that need to be made so that you can manage your time, your budget and ultimately make more informed decisions. But, that's not as easy as you might think when you're busy running a family, job and well… life.
That's where I come in. With over ten year's experience designing homes for families across Australia, I am here to help you build or renovate your dream home without the price tag of a full design package.
Want to find out how?
You can find me here...
What our clients have to say...
Amanda was amazing!
All the way from the initial planning stages, through to the finishing touches on
our renovation.
She listened patiently and helped us to pinpoint exactly what it was that we
wanted. We are so grateful for her gentle guidance along the way. Four years
later, we still truly love our house and it is a place that we want to be all the time.
We would definitely recommend working with Amanda. 10 out of 10!
— Alexia, Brunswick
Working with Amanda has been an absolute pleasure. Her wealth of knowledge
and prowess has helped us immensely in creating our new home.
Amanda worked tirelessly with us from the initial design stages of our home to
selecting finishes and furnishings. She helped us to realise our dream of having a
beautiful, practical and cohesive living space that works for our family.
Amanda is thoughtful, innovative, passionate, and patient and her expertise has
proven to be invaluable.
We are delighted with the final outcome and wouldn't hesitate in recommending
— Francine and Mark, Aberfeldie
We had a fantastic experience working with Amanda. My husband (a builder) and
I basically rebuilt our home for our young family.
Whilst we have an interest in design and decorating, we were so overwhelmed
with the decisions and we were desperate to "get it right". We also didn't have the
time to do the research!
We are delighted with everything Amanda did and it's just different to everything
else you see. I just can't ever see us not loving everything she has done.
Whenever anyone comes into our home and comments... it's because of
Amanda. There were extra details that we would never have thought of that we
are so delighted with.
We would absolutely recommend her and often do.
— Caylee, Yarraville
I thoroughly enjoyed the process of redecorating my house with Amanda.
She was professional, calm and seemed to really understood what feel/look I
wanted to achieve.
With 3 kids and a dog in tow, I am really happy with the longevity of the fabrics
she selected.
She wasn't happy unless I was happy and I am super happy!!!
Highly recommend.
— Cynthia, Strathmore
Amanda has been a delight to work with.
She is a true professional and does not hesitate to go over and above to ensure
her client is happy.
Working with her is a real partnership and I enjoyed every minute.
We would recommend Amanda without hesitation.
— Paula, Ascot Vale
Amanda was great to work with.
Her attention to detail and personal care transformed our family lounge area into
a beautiful room. She helped up identify our style and advised on colours,
accessories and design.
Amanda went above and beyond and we were delighted with the result.
We would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a designer they can
— Rebecca J, Essendon
We have been fortunate to engage Amanda to create beautiful spaces in our
Amanda not only has an amazing creative eye, she is a delight to deal with. She is
also a very good listener and is able to work within budget.
Amanda is always referred to people who ask for an interior design contact and is
my go to when I need input in my own home.
— Jacqui, Ascot Vale
Working with Amanda has been a very helpful process - it has saved me a lot of
time and stress.
The process helped to make choosing items much easier because she was able
to curate a tailored set of goods that I could choose from - rather than wandering
around countless stores aimlessly.
Amanda listened really well and really took the time to understand my style, my
budget and my needs.
I definitely recommend working with Amanda and have already referred a
number of my friends to her.
— Anita, Pascoe Vale South
We found working with Amanda very valuable.
She considered our likes and dislikes and provided a sample brief that we
worked on together until we agreed on a concept that we were all happy with.
Her professional help made everything come together smoothly.
She has a passion for her work and it shows in the completed project.
We would recommend working with Amanda - she is very good at what she does
and professional to deal with.
— Maria and Adriana, Coburg
We have had a few projects that Amanda has been involved with and her vision
and expertise have been invaluable.
Would highly recommend Amanda !
— Sue, Abbotsford

How to Clean a Bathtub
How to Clean a Bathtub
Your bathtub helps get you clean, so it only makes sense that it should be squeaky clean too. Whether it's a soap scum ring around the bathtub from bath time or heavy stains from everyday dirt and oils, Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner is here to help give your tub a good scrub. Simple Green's non-toxic formula is not only effective, but also safer for use where you and your family clean up after those long, messy days.
DIRECTIONS: Remove shampoo bottles, shower mats and other items before cleaning the tub.
- Wet the inside and the walls of the tub with water first to help the Simple Green penetrate dirt and grime.
- Spray the entire surface with full strength Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner.
- Scrub the entire tub with a nylon scrub brush or non-abrasive scrubbing pad. This will agitate and help loosen the dirt and grime to ensure a squeaky clean, residue-free surface.
- Thoroughly rinse the tub with warm water and allow to dry.
If you're unsure about how Simple Green will affect a surface, be sure to spot test beforehand.

Types of Ink Used by Inkjet Printers
There are plenty of ink options to choose from for your next digital printing project. To attain the results you want, it's paramount that you choose carefully and get the right fit for your application. If you are tight on budget, it can be very demoralizing to find the best ink for your needs. This is even made worse if you are shopping for the very first time. Even so, researching on sites such as https://www.needham-ink.com/ can help you make a more informed decision and one that is right for your needs. This article looks at some of the different ink types used by inkjet printers to give you a better understanding of them.
Dye-based Ink
These types of Ink are mostly used for day to day printing of documents. Their saturation levels and color vibrancy makes them ideal for also printing photos, colorful reports, and invitations. The only downside to dye-based ink is the fact that colors may fade as time goes by.
Pigment-based ink
It's made from suspending fine color pigments in liquid. During the drying process, as the liquid evaporates, the particles of the fine powder form a continuous film allowing the ink to bond well on the printing surface. That makes the ink more long-lasting and also improves its color. Such inks can be used for printing documents or photographs. If used under perfect conditions, the ink can last for more than one hundred years and even two hundred on certain printing papers.
It's also a great option for printing signs and stickers because it's drying properties make it easy to print on slick or non-porous surfaces. They have better resistance to UV light and water compared to dye-based inks. Even so, it is more expensive than dye-based ink and lacks the broad color range and brightness of the latter.
Solvent ink
They are pigment based but also contain fickle organic solvents. Ideal for home or office use, solvent inks dry through rapid evaporation, which is not fast enough for commercial use. They can print on uncoated vinyl and also come with a wide range of pulsating colors.
They are mostly used on adhesive decals, banners, billboards, and vehicle graphics. They do not require additional coatings since they are fade-resistant, durable, and waterproof. However, they require a well-ventilated area to print because of their fumes, which can be hazardous.
UV Ink
UV inks are used with UV inkjet printers that cure the ink through ultraviolet light. They do not evaporate and dry through exposure to a strong beam of UV light. These inks use pigment or dye-based colorants and are ideal if you want quick prints because of their instantaneous drying capability. They are mostly used in trade-show displays, banners, and large posters.

I am a road tripper. I have traveled all over the Western United States on numerous road trips. It's a style of travel that I enjoy. It gets me to national and state parks as well as many historical sites. My other interest when I travel is art. Unfortunately many travelers only think of art museums when visiting the biggest cities. I know plenty of people who will visit national parks, but they only think about going to art museums when they are in cities like San Francisco, New York, London, etc. When you're on the road, I think it is important to seek out art museums.
Most of my favorite "road trip" museums are smaller than big city museums. Many of them are located in smaller cities. I would never advise anyone to take a trip to Reno or Boise for the purpose of just going to the art museum. But, I would definitely say you don't want to miss either museum if you find yourself in Reno or Boise These are both small city museums with solid regional collections. It's an opportunity to see work by artists that often have been overlooked by big city museums. Smaller museums also get traveling shows that usually feature less well known and emerging artists. The big cities get the blockbusters, but some of the most interesting art I have seen has been in these far flung museums.
Sometimes these small cities are not that small. Many large cities are normally not thought of as destinations to visit art museums. Portland, Phoenix and El Paso all have solid art museums worth taking a look at. Many people pass through El Paso on their art pilgrimages to Marfa, Texas. Marfa is amazing, but it's a shame more art lovers don't spend a few hours in the El Paso Museum of Art. It's also a striking architectural space in a converted Greyhound Bus Terminal.
Often the small museums are in small cities known for their wealthy retirees. Museums in places like Palm Springs, Palm Beach and Santa Barbara all have collections of big name art donated by wealthy local patrons. Because these museums usually only have one piece by a major artist, their collections are often overlooked when large traveling shows are curated. The collections in these smaller museums rarely find their way into art books as well. Santa Barbara has quite a few treasures of this kind, and you're going to have visit if you want to see paintings like a fantastic George Belllows streetscape.
Finally, many of these small city museums are in cities that are near or even adjacent to bigger cities. Museums located in cities that are overshadowed by bigger cities are usually overlooked. Only the most determined by art travelers seek them out. Tacoma shares an airport with Seattle but few visitors to Seattle take the time to visit Tacoma's two art museums. Sacramento and San Jose are cities with good art museums that are both overshadowed by San Francisco. And right across the Bay in Oakland is one of the West Coast's best art museums. Many San Franciscans have never been, even thought it easier to reach the Oakland Museum on public transportation than many San Francisco museums. In Southern California one my very favorites is the Pasadena Museum of California Art. Already overshadowed by the bigger museums in Los Angeles, then when art lovers do trek to Pasadena they are more likely to seek out the better-known museums in Pasadena. Having visited all the museums in Pasadena, it's the PMCA that has me returning and going out of my way when I am in Southern California.
Below is a list of the museums mentioned above with links to their websites:
- Boise Art Museum
- El Paso Art Museum
- Oakland Museum of California
- Norton Museum of Art (Palm Beach)
- Palm Springs Art Museum
- Pasadena Museum of California Art
- Phoenix Art Museum
- Portland Art Museum
- Nevada Museum of Art (Reno)
- Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento)
- San Jose Museum of Art
- Santa Barbara Museum of Art
- Tacoma Art Museum
- Museum of Glass (Tacoma)

How Barcelona's €55m outcast Andre Gomes has been reborn at Everton
The date is March 4, 2018, and boos echo around Camp Nou as Barcelona take on title rivals Atletico Madrid. But the crowd's jeers are not for the visitors, their manager or even the match officials. They are for one of their own.
On the touchline, Andre Gomes is preparing to come on for the injured Andres Iniesta, acutely aware the fan displeasure is aimed squarely in his direction.
Even his own team-mates are uncomfortable with the reception he is receiving, with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen gesturing to the supporters, questioning why they would dish out such treatment to a Barca player.
Editors' Picks
It was not the first time the Portugal international had been booed by his own fans, his dream move to Catalunya having rapidly turned into a nightmare.
Gomes arrived at the Camp Nou in the summer of 2016 on the back of European Championship glory with Portugal and seemingly on the path to greatness.
Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus were some of the sides linked with the former Benfica man before his €55 million (£49.3m) switch from Valencia. He was even touted as a future Ballon d'Or winner, such was his burgeoning potential.
But the price tag seemed to weigh heavy on Gomes' shoulders as he struggled to impress in a Barca shirt, despite being handed 27 starts in his first season by boss Luis Enrique.
The dynamism in his play appeared to dissipate, he would play the safe pass instead of taking a risk and looking to open up the game in the final third of the pitch. That is not what is expected of a Barcelona midfielder and the fans, used to seeing Iniesta and Xavi stroking the ball around, made their feelings known.
The media also began to turn on him. In May 2017 Gomes was voted "worst signing of the season" by readers of Marca. He had become a figure of fun. It was no laughing matter, though.
The ridicule only caused Gomes to retreat further into his shell, trapping him in a downward spiral. He made just 11 starts in all competitions under Ernesto Valverde last campaign and didn't feature at all in their final six matches.
The weekend after the Atletico game, Gomes opened up about his struggles in a magazine interview, admitting his time at Barca had turned "into a kind of hell" and he was often so "ashamed" of his performances he wouldn't leave his house.
Sport at an elite level can be brutally unforgiving and Camp Nou, football's own Colosseum, contains some of the game's harshest critics with the highest of expectations. Gomes won't be the first or last to buckle under the pressure.
Consequently, he deserves credit for admitting his psychological battles in a society that is still trying to truly understand mental health, none more so than in the macho environment of a football dressing room. Thankfully, things are now looking brighter for the 25-year-old.
Five months after publicly discussing his anguish, Gomes was on the move, joining Everton on a season-long loan.
A hamstring injury meant Gomes missed the opening weeks of the season, only returning to fitness at the end of October. He was thrown straight into the starting line-up for the visit of Crystal Palace, helping the side to a 2-0 victory.
The following week, Gomes stood out as Everton were unlucky to lose 2-1 at Old Trafford. He was then named man-of-the-match in wins against Brighton and Cardiff as the Toffees climbed into the Premier League top six.
His graceful composure on the ball and ability to pick a pass are the kind of attributes Everton have been missing in the heart of their midfield for years. It is little surprise, therefore, that Evertonians are already smitten with their new midfield maestro.
Toffees supporters know a good player when they see one, but they also see beyond simply a player's technical ability. They love nothing more than to take a player under their wing and into their hearts, part of the 'People's Club' ethos that runs right through the institution.
Recent examples of 'lost souls' looking to revive their careers at Goodison include Steven Pienaar and Mikel Arteta. Both arrived having endured difficult spells at previous clubs but quickly developed an affinity with the fans and genuine affection for the club, allowing them to flourish on the field.
England 1966 World Cup winner and former Toffees winger Alan Ball once said that "once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same". It seems Gomes is experiencing that phenomenon first hand.
Four days after his debut against Palace, Gomes joined a group of Everton supporters on an open top bus tour of Liverpool. When he spotted a young fan who was feeling the cold, Gomes took him to the club shop and kitted him out with an Everton jumper and scarf.
That same week, he was pictured carrying and hugging a young fan during a community event at the club's Finch Farm training ground.
😊 | @aftgomes 💙 @EITC— Everton (@Everton) October 24, 2018
When it all got a bit too much, Andre Gomes was there to help.
➡https://t.co/sb33Ndgl4U pic.twitter.com/2witrZKJ7O
There is genuine affection for Gomes from Evertonians and it seems the feeling is mutual.
Indeed, he recently revealed he was "loving life" at Goodison Park, telling Sky Sports: "I feel happy, I feel different. It's a mix between freedom and enjoying what I am doing now. It's not a job; it's what I love to do. I have that feeling again."
But what of the future? Manager Marco Silva and director of football Marcel Brands have made it clear they want to make Gomes' move permanent, but there is no buyout clause in his loan contract.
That has led to speculation of offers from elsewhere, including Premier League rivals Tottenham.
Gomes' positive comments about his early months on Merseyside have certainly put Everton in pole position for any permanent move, however, with the adulation he is receiving on Merseyside making those Camp Nou boos seem like a lifetime ago.


text: October 28, 2010 Tru-Fire Release Company The Team Realtree Pro Series Releases are built on the ultra-smooth Hurricane head and are available in black or Advantage Timber.In 1984, the husband and wife team of Lynn and Judi Tentler took their passion for archery and turned it into the Tru-Fire Release Company. Since that time, over 3.5 million releases have been manufactured and sold by the family-owned business! Year after year, Tru-Fire, now operated by the Tentler's son Steve and his wife Cheri, produce and sell more releases than any other company in the world.To get a better picture of the company's history and achievements, I asked Steve what he considered to be the key to their success. His immediate response was customer service, quality, and an affordable price. Every model is repeatedly tested at 200 pounds on a specially designed hydraulic release machine. Another measure of quality is the return rate. Many companies would consider one and two percent to be a terrific number. Tru-Fire, however, has an amazing return rate of only three-tenths of one percent! When a release is returned, Tru-Fire has a "one day" policy, which states that a release may not remain in the building for more than 24 hours from the time it is received. When you consider the number of releases Tru-Fire ships every year, it is amazing that they have not had one backorder in over three years! My first experience with a release came in 1990, when I splurged and spent all of seven or eight dollars on a Tru-Fire Crackshot. A year or two later, after successfully shooting in several 3-D tournaments and harvesting a few deer with the Crackshot, I upgraded to the Tru-Fire X-Caliper model. My first X-Caliper was my constant companion for the next ten years. This year, the Team Realtree Hurricane model, with its ultra smooth action and comfortable wrist strap, will tag along for the hunt.Hurricane And Team Realtree An eye-catching partnership has emerged for 2002, joining Tru-Fire with Team Realtree. These new additions, built around the popular Hurricane Power Strap model, are available in black or Advantage Timber. The Advantage Timber Camo pattern is reduced 10 times, and then applied to the head through a special printing process. The strap on both is made of SaddleCloth and utilizes Tru-Fire's patented continuous loop system and Velcro closure. This system is designed so that the archer does not have to open the strap all the way, instead you simply slip your hand through the loop and cinch the strap. Tru-Fire Hurricane release heads incorporate an ultra-smooth action achieved through the use of a free-floating, self-centering, stainless steel roller that rolls, not slides, off of both jaws. The jaws and trigger are heat treated and coated with Teflon to ensure years of trouble free use. The jaws open when the trigger is pulled and close when released. There is no need to "push" the trigger forward to lock it onto the string or string loop--a feature that I personally enjoy and appreciate. Another factor contributing to the smooth feel of the Hurricane, is a lack of "loading up" on release--pressure created from bow-pull weight being translated into unwanted excessive trigger pressure upon release. While some releases load up to nearly two pounds of trigger pressure on a 70-pound bow, the Hurricane requires only 3.5 ounces of pressure to activate the trigger. Classic Caliper Power Grip Archers who attach their release directly to the string will rave about Tru-Fire's Classic Caliper Series. The releases in this series offer the patented "Tru-Rotator" feature that allows the head to rotate 360 degrees in front of the trigger. There are seven different Classic Caliper releases to choose from, including the Power Grip Camo model. These are the only wrist model calipers on the market that have a true 360-degree rotation. Another useful feature incorporated in the Classic Caliper series, is the Auto-Jaw. There is no need to depress or push the trigger to load the release on the string. The Auto-Jaws automatically lock into place when pushed onto the serving.For 2002, the X-Caliper has undergone two major changes. First, the trigger sensitivity was boosted by over 50 percent and second, the jaws were redesigned to easily fit the popular string loop.The fully padded Power Grip, constructed of soft camo SaddleCloth, is easy on the hand and wrist when pulling even the heaviest of bows. This style is similar to the Power Strap in that it attaches around your wrist but also resembles a glove with its padded palm area. This release also incorporates Tru-Fire's continuous loop strap, enabling the archer to put the release on in record time. A simple clockwise or counter-clockwise twist of the trigger assembly adjusts the length to allow for shooters of all sizes.X-Caliper Camo Power Strap I can personally attest to the durability of this particular model, as it served me well for over 10 years and still fills in as a reliable backup! This release has long been the workhorse in the Tru-Fire lineup and has been made even better for 2002. The heat-treated and Teflon-coated jaws have been shortened and thinned to accommodate the use of the popular string loop. Most importantly, the cam in the trigger mechanism has been redesigned, increasing the trigger sensitivity by 50 to 60 percent! In years past the X-Caliper required nearly 10 ounces to fire a 70-pound bow, whereas now that number has dropped to four ounces. That is a significant improvement.Most archers have experienced target panic at one time or another, and know the frustration that it brings. The X-Caliper features a "relax to fire" mode to overcome this hindrance. Fully depressing the trigger and then manually locking the jaws around the string readies the release. Then, at full draw, all that is required to fire the bow is for the shooter to relax the tension against the trigger. Archers can still choose the traditional positive-closure mode of firing by pushing the trigger forward to lock it onto the string. Just like the Hurricane and Classic Caliper Power Grip, the X-Caliper utilizes the simple "no tools" length adjustment system.The Tru-Fire Release Company has been manufacturing quality releases at affordable prices for eighteen years, and has once again entered the ring in 2002 with a host of heavy hitters. In all, 46 releases grace the pages of the Tru-Fire catalog, including many new and improved models. For more information on the company's entire line, contact: Tru-Fire Corp., Dept.

Shakespeare Company
Project Overview
Heapy designed the Mechanical-Electrical systems for the 28,000 SF two-story auditorium, The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, on the corner of 12th and Elm Streets, in the Over-the-Rhine arts district north of Downtown Cincinnati.
The new auditorium has seating for 244 and is just steps away from near by performance arts icons, Memorial Hall and Music Hall. It features a thrust stage that extends out into the seats for a more intimate feeling. Soft lighting can be projected onto the ceiling in reference to a night sky. Peak roofing and a balcony open to the sidewalk act at subtle references to Romeo and Juliet.
The new theatre is meant to be very open and transparent in hopes to engage both younger and traditional audiences. Glass wraps two sides of the building and will be kept open to patrons and pedestrians to offer glimpses of the upcoming productions. It is being named The Otto M. Budig Theatre in honor of The Otto M. Budig Family Foundation.

Trade union groups paralysed buses, trains and the Subte underground system, on the second of two days of industrial action.
Editor-in-Chief, Buenos Aires Times.
Buenos Aires shut down Wednesday as a transport strike coincided with the traditional International Workers' Day/May 1 holiday, bringing the capital to a standstill.
Trade union groups paralysed buses, trains and the Subte underground system, according to the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) and municipal authorities.
The industrial action was the second of a two-day shutdown, following on from another strike and street mobilisation on Tuesday by unions that oppose the economic policies of Mauricio Macri and his administration, with a general election just six months away in which the president will seek re-election.
"The protest is part of a generalised pattern of unrest, due to the runaway increases in the [cost of the] food basket, the rate of payments [of public services and utilities] and poverty," said union leader Juan Carlos Schmid, head of the CATT, in statements to the opposition-friendly radio station Destape Radio.
Veteran truck-drivers union leader Hugo Moyano, however, said that the transport strike "is not serious, it is not understood what it wants to raise," criticising rival union leaders for calling a shutdown on what is a traditional holiday in Argentina.
"It's May 1, maybe 5 or 10 percent of people work," said a baffled Moyano.
Buenos Aires and other cities across the country were deserted, with the day taking on the distinct feel of a Sunday.

Books published lately by Lebanese authors
Stuff We Love. on Aug 28, 2016
This perpetual cycle of instability and joy gave birth to several generations of lovers, thinkers, artists, writers, rebels, and intellectuals making Lebanon a multi-cultural hub of creativity and literature.
To the Lebanese, creating life with words was not an idle activity, rather an unshakeable impulse that demanded to be tended to, time and time again.
Here are just a few of the must read books that portray the beauty that stems from that very impulse.
1. De Niro's Game by Rawi Hage
In this novel, protagonists Bassam and George tell tales of love, sex, and pain during Beirut's civil war. The problems that the characters face in this novel are sadly problems that the Lebanese youth still faces today. Both a heart-melting and heart-breaking read.
Memorable Quotes:
– "Dust was friendly and loved us all. Dust was Beirut's companion."
– "Death does not come to you when you face it; death is full of treachery, a coward who only notices the feeble and strikes the blind."
– "Ten thousand bombs had split the winds and my mother was still in the kitchen smoking her long, white cigarettes."
2. Koolaids: The Art of War by Rabih Alameddine
Image via timbalaning.wordpress.com
This book constantly jumps through space; through various journal entries by different characters, the reader is told two mirroring stories. The first is that of the civil war in Beirut, and the second being of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. Rabih Alameddine's whimsical writing style gives the reader a sense of closeness and identification with the struggles told in the book.
Memorable Quotes:
– "In the commemoration of death, I unearthed myself."
– "The Syrians killed my father, but I blame Yoko."
– "I did not really know the good old days. People started dying when I came out."
3. Nietzsche's Camel Must Die by Rewa Zeinati
This hilarious and refreshing gem reveals the adventures of Lebanese-American poet Rewa Zeinati in Beirut through a series of unrelated Facebook posts. Easy and fun to read, this book offers insight into different social issues found in Beirut, without the heaviness of facts and figures.
Memorable Quotes:
– "Right. So my gym membership expired. Finally. Now I can finally wake up, and not go to the gym, and not feel an ounce of guilt about it."
– "Everything is a big fucking deal when you're still under thirty."
– "In a world that lacks, I'm not sure what's the best thing one can be accused of. The second best thing must be: indecisiveness. It implies the availability of choice."
4. An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine
This book tells the tale of Aaliya, a childless divorced woman who is now cast as "unnecessary" by the society she lives in. An Unnecessary Woman does not only offer readers beautiful language, but it also offers insight into the lives and struggles of "unnecessary" women in Lebanese society.
Memorable Quotes:
– "If literature is my sandbox, then the real world is my hourglass — an hourglass that drains grain by grain. Literature gives me life, and life kills me."
– "There is non more conformist than one who flaunts his individuality."
– "I used to find old people, men and women, terribly narcissistic. All they ever want to do is talk about themselves. But then, what are these pages if not an exercise in narcissism?"
Of course, there are several Lebanese and non-Lebanese writers that have experienced Lebanon's exciting ride through time, and many have described it in their literature. You can read about them here.
"It is a truth, universally acknowledged that…"
"It is a truth, universally acknowledged that a Moslem man, regardless of his fortune, must be in want of a 9 year-old virgin wife…". That's how Nassrine started the discussion with the opening sentence of Jane Austin book "Pride and Prejudice", a temptation that a reader is most likely to feel and rearrange…
Azar Nafisi held Thursday's sessions for 7 of her former students, discussing selected English fiction novels and keeping diaries.
Manna rejoined: "It is a truth, universally acknowledged that a Moslem man will eventually displace his older wife for a fresh naive 16 year-old virgin…"
What is your "truth, universally acknowledged….?"
Azin, who is in the process of divorcing her third husband, said: "Who is thinking about love these days? The islamic Republic of Iran has taken us back to Jane Austen's blessed arranged marriages. Nowadays, girls marry either because of famiy pressures, or to get a green card, or to secure financial stability… And we are talking about educated girls, discussing English literature, and who have gone to college…"
Mahshed replied: "Many women are independent in Iran, and are business women and who have chosen to live alone…"
Manna retorted: "Most women don'r have a choice now. My mother could chose her husband and wearing the veil was optional…"
Nassrine said: "Temporary marriage contracts are all the rage. President Rafsanjani is encouraging these kinds of short-term marriage contracts… Many conservative clerics call these contracts a sanctified form of prostitution… A few progressive men are for these contracts, and I tell them that they should demand that this law gives women the same rights as men… Talk about hypocrisy!"
At the start of the 20th century, the age of marriage was changed to 13 and increased to 18. In the 1960's, there was little difference between the rights of both genders, and women were at a par with western democratic States standards in human rights.
As Khomeini grabbed power in 1979, and this totalitarian and theocratic regime came in the name of the Past, and individual freedom was banished… the first law was to repeal the Family-Protection law, which guaranteed women's rights at home and at work.
The legal marriage age for women was lowered again to 9 year-old, sort of 8.5 lunar years… Adultery and prostitution were punished by stoning to death, and women were considered to have half the worth of men
And why this 9 year-old cut-off standard?
Prophet Muhammad had officially married Aicha at the age of 9. Aicha's father was Abu Bakr, later to become the first Calif of the Moslems.
Muhammad didn't have intercourse with Aicha until she was 13, but they didn't beget any children. Aicha was the most beloved of wives and the most educated.
This terribly jealous wife used to throw tantrums when exposed to injustices. As Muhammad announced his desire to marry another wife (9 in total), Aicha shouted: "This God of yours has the habit of satisfying all your desires in verses…"
Aicha was in charge of transcribing the verses during Muhammad's bouts of epilepsy.
And the Moslem clerics want to emulate their prophets, particularly in life-style that pleases their pleasures and comfort…
Sanaz was to meet with her long-time preferred Iranian young man, accompanied by her family, across the border in Turkey: The beau was settled in England for the last 6 years and decided to give it a shot and get engaged with Sanaz. The discussion among the girls was on how to discover the compatibility attribute, after so many years of absence, before Sanaz agrees to get engaged.
Nassrine suggested that "The first thing you should do to test your compatibility is dance with him"
This suggestion was a reminder of the "Dear Jane Society" idea of forming dance sessions: Teacher Azar had gathered the girl students after class following a lecture on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to dance in the style of Austen's period (the Napoleonic age). But that is another story.
Note 1: The story is taken from "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi

An "Unbiased westerner": Forget it, Just two sides at war in Gaza tragedy?
Posted by: adonis49 on: November 21, 2012
Is that one of the fucked up Aristotelian logic, uttered by people sitting in comfortable peaceful conditions?
And what the American author Henry James wrote a century ago?
Henry James lived in England for 40 years and died there in 1916. Not until 1914, Henry James avoided being socially and politically engaged and kept aloof from the actual passions of existence. He was blamed for his "Mandarin" attitude toward life…
It was the start of WWI that got James in overwhelming intense activities and involvement, in his old age. He was everywhere, in Belgium, in France… visiting the hospitals, comforting the injured soldiers, raising money for belgian refugees, haranguing the US government to get engaged in the war…
James wrote: "hadn't it been for the War, I should certainly have gone on as I was, taking it as the simplest and easiest and friendliest thing: but the circumstances are utterly altered now…"
He wrote to a friend: "I have an imagination of disaster, and see life as ferocious and sinister… The war has used up words… We are confronted with a depreciation of all our terms, speaking with a loss of expression through increase of limpness, that may well make us wonder what ghosts will be left to walk… I eat my heart out alone… the paralysis of my own power to do anything but increasingly and inordinately feel..."
James was aware of the toll such cruelty takes on emotions and the resistance to compassion during these absurd instances, insensitivity adopted as a way of survival…
James had witnessed the US civil war, but didn't participate because of physical problems in the back, and filled his time reading and writing. His two younger brothers did fight.
Henry James wrote to the newly wed wife of a husband who died in the war:
"I am incapable of telling you not to repine and rebel, because I am incapable to tell you Not to Feel… Feel for all you're worth, even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live…"
To his old friend Rhoda Broughton, Henry James wrote:
" I am sick beyond cure to have lived to see it. You and I, the ornaments of our generation, should have been spared this wreck… we have seen civilization grow and the worst became possible… this crash of civilization… the funeral spell of our murdered civilization…"
James' idea of home was bound up with the idea of civilization. Culture, humaneness, civilization, and independence of thought were everything to James "We must for dear life make our own counter realities..."
Note: The part on Henry James was inspired from "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi
What to expect from Iran Islamic Republic as its Imam "Ayatollah" Khomeini proclaimed:
Posted by: adonis49 on: November 10, 2012
What to expect from Iran Islamic Republic as "Ayatollah" Khomeini had proclaimed:
Ayatollah Khomeini, the original, not the current Khamenei, said: "Criminals should not be tried. The trial of a criminal is against Human Rights. Human Rights demand that we should have killed them in the first place, as it became known that they were criminals…
They (International Human Rights Organization) criticize us because we are executing the brutes… We all made mistakes: We thought we were dealing with human beings. It is not evident: We are dealing with wild animals... We will not tolerate these criminal and corrupt elements anymore…"
And who are these criminal elements, the wild animals, the brutes…?
They were the "Westernized" citizens, brought up in a westernized family, having stayed too long in Europe and the USA to study, smoking US cigarette brands in Iran, displaying leftist tendencies in not wearing the traditional Islamic attires, reading subversive foreign books like The Great Gatsby of Fitzgerald, or Farewell to Arm by Hemingway, all those non-politically motivated, considered monarchists, employees who worked in institutions during the Shah's regime…
Khomeini went on: "The turbaned (militias) are about to execute in public the corrupt elements and burn them, and the story will be over… The corrupt elements are not allowed to publish newspapers…We will close all political parties except the One (Hezbollah?), or a few acting in a proper manner…"
Ayatollah Shariatmadari was heading the most popular party of Muslim People's Republic Party and this party was disbanded. The second in command, Ayatollah Muntazeri was blown up in the hotel where his party convention was being held, along with a hundred of the leaders…The irony is that the Communist Tudeh Party and the Marxist Fedayeen Organization sided with Khomeini. Why? Khomeini was against the US imperialist!
And successive waves of makeshift trials executed thousands of Iranians, and the communists and marxists were diligently persecuted and massacred.
Women were forbidden to dance and sing in public, and going to movie theaters, and going out without veil and long nails…
Azar Nafisi wrote in her book "Reading Lolita in Tehran" a fitting similarity between radical ideals and their consequences when grabbing power.
Mike Gold, the American radical Marxist of the 20's, wrote about his American dream in his newspaper New Masses: "The old ideals must die…Let us fling all we are into the cauldron of the Revolution. For out of our death shall arise glories…"
Iran Islamic Republic "Revolution" applied Gold ideals, adopting exactly the mechanism that should lead to glory… and did much harm to Islam by manipulating the religion to its political ends…
For example, Mike Gold wrote an essay in 1929 titled "Toward Proletarian Art":
"Art is no longer snobbish or cowardly. It teaches peasants to use tractors. gives lyrics to young soldiers, design textiles for factory women's dresses, writes burlesque for factory theaters, does a hundred other useful tasks. Art is useful as bread…"
I was under the impression that this long statement was being utterly sarcastic: Gold was damned serious.
Compare the above proclamations with Conrad's description of the artist in his preface to The Nigger of the Narcissus:
"The artist appeals to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives, to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain…and to the subtle and invincible conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts, to the solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear which binds men to each other, the dead to the living and the living to the unborn..."
Origin of languages? Has Mankind stopped migrating?
Apparently, the main factor that discriminates mankind (the latest Homo Sapiens) from the other mammalian species, particularly the chimps-kind, is the capacity to communicate in grammatical structure, starting with the verbal structure 50,000 years ago.
There exist in nature sophisticated communication systems among the animal species, and they are highly efficient, and making sense associated with signals…Among them all species, mankind was the only one making complete sentences. This evidence is an either we can communicate in grammatical structure or we cannot. "If you are unable to learn grammar, you stay a chimp…"
Grammatical structures do not means learning how the linguist want you to express yourself according to specific rules in a particular language, but the capacity of expressing yourself using words that the community use, in full sentences, and making sense to the community. There is structure in every dialect within the larger family group language.
Language requires a specialized part of the brain. It is turning out that this specialized part shares the capacity to adapt to extreme environmental conditions.
Most animals survive within particular environments, give or take mild changes in the climate and the vegetation…but mankind survived and settled in extreme regions and thrived…
The American scientist Luca Cavalli Sforza discovered high correlations between languages and the genes of the speakers. Developing a new dialect might take no more than two centuries, but genes diversity need a couple of thousand of years. Two genetically close populations have the same family group language, where the vocabulary are similar…
Although we are descendant of chimps, a couple million years ago, the chimp can learn (recognize) more than 900 words, but was unable to construct a sentence from the words they acquired…
It is currently admitted that mankind (the latest Homo Sapiens) had a single original language (about 50,000 years ago) and that the current 12 large family languages resulted from periodic mass migration to other regions. Every large wave of migration within or toward another of the 5 continents generated a new group of a basic language and were diversified by local dialect. This presuppose that the people settled the region for many thousands of years.
For example, linguists categorized 4 family group languages in Africa:
1. The Khoisan in the south of Africa
2. The Niger-Kordofan region in the west and central Africa
3. The Nilo-Saharan region that includes Arabic, ancient Egyptian, Berber, Hebrew…
4. The East of Africa group language starting from the Niger Delta (in current Nigeria) and expanding eastward
And how the linguists agreed on these classifications?
1. They use key words such as water, sky, I, you…and what are considered "fossil words"
2. A new-born baby has the potential to learn any language: He will acquire the language of his adoptive community, regardless of the sounds and the complex structure… (Chomsky)
3. There exist common grammatical structures in all languages and the brain of mankind is able to capture any structure at birth, and invent new structures…
And guess what:
1. Homo Sapiens, 100,000 years ago, was barely 30,000. And they were saved from extinction several times. The necessity to split into smaller groups saved them from sweeping epidemics and natural calamities…
2. Homo Sapiens migrated to China 65,000 ago, and reached Indonesia and Australia…He migrated to Europe 50,000 years ago, and to North Americas 20,000 years ago. Mind you that during the glacial periods, seas and oceans had receded and mankind and animals could travel walking among many continents …
3. The original Homo Sapiens settled the Near East (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt) and from this region migrated and "colonized" the world and later, exported the urban civilization as they planted and harvested the lands 10,000 years ago (the Neolithic age)…
Go figure: from 30,000 to 7 billion of mankind within less than 12,000 years
Do you have a past? What of generations who grew up without a past?
Posted by: adonis49 on: November 8, 2012
Do you have a past? What of generations who grew up without a past?
We take it for granted that every individual must have had a past, that he can recollect bits and pieces of his past, can make some sense of his past…
Many societies take it for granted that their generations had a past, it always had…
There are generations of people who had a past, good or bad memories, and then an "iron curtain" of a theocratic or totalitarian regime fell down and transformed lives. These generations with a past could feel the loss and the void in their current life-style. They can compare, evaluate, analyze the past and the present situations, they may eventually master this lever to forecast how the future will unfold if no change and reforms are attempted, confronted and grabbed…
What of generations born and living within theocratic and totalitarian regimes?
These generations cannot have any memories and images of a different system and life-style, except if they had a few opportunities to watch foreign movies, documentaries, books, and listen to foreign music, poetry… of other alternative cultures and life-styles.
What if all "imaginary" alternative cultures are banned and you cannot construct different versions of possible existence and life-styles?
The generation with No Past to remember can only talk of stolen kisses, films they had never seen, lack of cool breeze on their bare skin…
The generations with No past long for the ordinary, the taken-for-granted aspect of a peaceful life… They loath mostly the absurd and arbitrary acts of transgression on their ordinary life, the trampling on their open spaces… like the desire of wearing pink socks, dropping the veil in public if they feel uncomfortable, using a comfortable swimming trunk, lounge freely on their balconies, read whatever books that strike their imagination, listen to varieties of music…
The generation with No Past keep dancing with their arbitrary jailers, and never feeling that they have the power to protest and confront the jailers…
How could you internalize your individuality and describe the image you have of yourself if society move, act, speak and dance identically, as delimited by strict regulations?
This section was inspired from a page in "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi.
Talking of a society indoctrinated in a cult, the self-effaced individuality, and evaluated on the degree you match the "dominant normal people", evolving within a closed circle of like individuals…
With the exception of the Catholic Church theocratic dominance for 10 centuries in Medieval Europe, most of the theocratic and totalitarian systems were established in the 20th century, increasing, and expanding eastward… Iran Islamic Republic took power in 1979, and The Moslem Brotherhood cults are established in Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, and shortly will take control in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Communist regimes that flourished since 1917 in the Soviet Union, China…had their fascist counterparts in Nazism, Fascism, military dictatorship… with their cultist versions.
Theocratic and "civic" totalitarian systems share many components and diverge on a few:
1. There are all "radical": They want to impose their value and moral structure on the society
2. They ban all reading and knowledge sources that diverge from their "world view"
3. They do their best to obliterate the past, (the Evil Past), in order to institute the future life-style and concepts…
4. Religious abstract notions, implicitly and explicitly, are the basis for their projects: They want the eternal and absolute and go the extra miles to force the citizens to pay the heavy price of their absurd and arbitrary outlook to commemorating their everlasting achievement…
Theocratic regimes are straightforward: Here is the archaic Book, you behave according to the prescription of the Book, don't hurt your brain interpreting the Words of God… Otherwise, you are a criminal element and only execution is your lot for disturbing the decency and homogeneity in the communities. This radical leftist woman who proclaims that she is willing to wear the veil if it can secure the Independence of Iran is basically aware of the coming persecutions and want to be "covered" and isolated…
Totalitarian regimes are more subtle: Their ultimate goals are fundamentally of the religious-kinds in seeking the absolute and the eternal, but the mechanism is camouflaged under "scientific processes" for the progress of mankind, in peace, equality, comradeship…. The main brainwashing technique is to make alternative materials very scarce to obtain, and listening to alternative opinions even harder to hear. It is no longer natural and work an individual reflective opinion, and seeking an individual "open space" to regain your freedom
In "Democratic" States brainwashing is performed by the richest elite class who rules the institutions and the mass news media. One major difference is that the past is not obliterated "if you are willing to do your due diligence…" to extract alternative stories…
