The Stanford Cancer Institute will hold its fifth annual Clinical Trials Awareness Week from April 18 – 22, 2016 in the Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto. This event aims to foster awareness care among patients, caregivers and the community-at-large, about cancer clinical trials and how they advance cancer care.
Why are cancer clinical trials important? Clinical trials improve cancer survival rates, because they help progress new ways to detect cancer, reduce cancer risks and treat cancer with novel therapies. To make novel therapies more quickly available as a standard of care for patients, more people need to partake in clinical research. The American Cancer Society reports that “the 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers diagnosed in 2004 – 2010 was 68 percent, up from 49 percent in 1975 – 1977” (2015).
Why do we need to promote awareness? A poll from the Harris Interactive Survey in 2001 showed that 85 percent of cancer patient respondents “…were either unaware or unsure that participation in a clinical trial was an option at the time of diagnosis” (National Cancer Institute, 2016). The lack of awareness is evident in current trial enrollment rates, in which less than 5 percent of adult cancer patients participate in a clinical treatment trial (Meropol et al., 2015). Furthermore, enrollment rates at five National Cancer Institute–designated cancer centers revealed significantly lower percentages of racial/ethnic minority participation in treatment studies (Hawk et al., 2014). Diverse participation is essential for gaining knowledge on how cancer treatments work on different populations.
Stanford’s Cancer Clinical Trials Awareness Week will have an information desk and research poster exhibit display available throughout the week. This year’s program will feature oncology research talks by Stanford faculty members and Q&A research poster sessions with research staff. Participants will be eligible for a raffle prize drawing at the talks and giveaway item at the poster sessions. The Stanford Cancer Institute offers more than 250 clinical trials and can assist patients with finding trials at Stanford. For more details about the program, please visit online or call 650.498.7061.

The WIAT-III can be used with the age-appropriate Wechsler cognitive scales as well as the Wechsler Non-Verbal Scale of Ability and the Differential Ability Scales – II. Integrating the subtest standard scores and composite scores of the WIAT-III with the WISC-IV provides for above average reliability scores ranging from good (.83-.89) to excellent (.90-.97). Therefore, with Mississippi’s reliance on a discrepancy diagnosis for Specific Learning Disability, comparisons between cognitive ability and achievement are good to excellent.
Behavioral observations across cognitive and achievement testing can yield important information. Look for behavior that is stable and that changes in the areas of affect, motivation, and self-confidence as well as changes in behavior based on the types of tasks administered.
As mentioned above, MDE allows Psychometrists and School Psychologists to use an achievement-ability discrepancy to diagnose Specific Learning Disability. However, legislation passed in 2004 (PL 108-446) does not require diagnosticians to use this traditional discrepancy model. Other models may be used including RTI. Additional models may include the Modern Operational Model of SLD, the Concordance-Discordance Model of SLD, known as the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) Discrepancy Model. As you may surmise, there is much discussion and disagreement in the area of diagnosing SLD.
When testing children with ADHD, achievement scores may be 20-30 standard score points lower in reading, reading comprehension, and math. There is usually co-morbidity with the SLD and ADHD. Students with ADHD are more likely to be served in SPED.

So I had a food geek moment. I was going to make myself a salad to have with some of my duck prosciutto, but then I got this idea, the prosciutto would probably go really nice with pear, walnuts and cheese, a good classic combination. It got worse, maybe I wanted a cooked texture to the pear, I could poach it, add another flavour to it, heck, I know, I could totally sous vide that pear! Somehow I didn’t really manage to get the brake on that idea before it came out. Research had started, and it seemed reasonably easy, 2–3 hours at 75ºC, and I’d have a poached pear, easy enough, just keep an eye on a pot of hot water for 3 hours, I had nothing better to do, total food geek brain take over, sanity had left the building.
I don’t do it on purpose, sitting around racking my brain trying to come up with something convoluted and drawn out, my inner food geek is just waiting for the smallest opportunity to escape, much like with the 3 day wait for the pork cheek confit, or making dosa, I had the idea to make the dish, I just had no idea it would take 3 days, and to smaller extents pork hock cake, kai kem eggs or kimchi. It’s usually a passing thought or idea, and the next thing I know I’ve started making something that may take 3 days before I get to eat, or in this case set myself up to babysit a pot of hot water for 3 hours carefully nursing the temperature.
But I’m not complaining, I relish in it, spending hours in the kitchen, waiting and hoping the dish will turn out, that what started out as an idea will be edible and tasty, and that the sacrifice of time and effort will be worth it, and I’ll tell you, the results don’t always match the effort. But if I were to be disheartened after every failure, I doubt I’d ever set foot in a kitchen again, failure is an opportunity to learn from what went wrong, correct and improve on ideas. In saying all of that, the pears turned out great.
Success is relative. It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things - T. S. Eliot.
100 grams Butter (unsalted)
50 ml Brandy
- Emulsify the brandy and butter together, use a food processor or stick blender.
- Peel the pears, and place in separate vacuum bags with half the butter mix in each, then seal. You could use a zip lock bag, and remove as much air as possible if you don’t have a vacuum sealer.
- Bring a large pot of water to 75ºC.
- Place bags in the pot and cook for 2–3 hours at 75ºC.
- Keep the flame on minimum and adjust as needed.
- If not serving immediately, transfer the bags to an ice bath to halt the cooking, and reheat in hot water when ready.
Visa Wellington on a Plate is just around the corner and I had the privilege of being able to attend the launch event. It was great to finally meet some fellow bloggers and tweeters, and people from the industry, eat some great food thanks to Ruth Pretty, and down a few good wines. But like all things, nothing good comes for free, and putting aside my absolute terror of public speaking, I’m on stage doing a Peecha Kucha presentation at the City Market event. Which I hope, should be entertaining, if not just for the fact that I tend to talk in half formed thoughts and leave whole ideas in my head and stumble out words in random order from my mouth.

When policymakers both here and…
An earthquake in Taiwan caused…
The US Federal Reserve has blocked an attempt led by the European Central Bank (ECB) to make climate risks a pillar of global rules for banks and require them to report their strategies on meeting climate commitments, sources with knowledge of the matter have told Bloomberg.
Some members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), which includes central banks and bank supervisors from around the world, have been pushing for making climate risks and ESG commitments the center of new rules for banks everywhere in the world.
Members of the Fed, however, have expressed in closed-door meetings concerns about such rules because they believe the committee might be overreaching with this particular supervision, according to some of Bloomberg’s sources. The Fed officials also feel they have a narrow mandate in this area to regulate climate risk disclosures from the Wall Street banks, the sources added.
Although the Basel Committee cannot enforce its banking system standards on jurisdictions, it could set a global baseline, from which the single countries develop their own rules and procedures.
The Fed’s resistance to the Europe-led climate risk disclosures highlights the rift between the two sides of the Atlantic in the ESG push, with Europe committed to implementing tougher rules.
European banks should integrate environmental, social, and governance risks in their regular risk management framework, the European Banking Authority (EBA) said in January in draft guidelines on the management of ESG risks.
The European authority published a consultation paper on its draft proposals for banks as it launched a public consultation that will run until April 18, 2024.
According to the EBA, climate change, environmental degradation, social issues, and other ESG factors pose “considerable challenges for the economy that impact the financial sector.”
“The risk profile and business model of institutions may be affected by ESG risks, in particular, environmental risks through transition and physical risk drivers,” the authority noted early this year.

The mayor of Barcelona has said the city will fine Airbnb and HomeAway €600,000 each, in the latest skirmish between local authorities around the world and online home-sharing services. City administrations from Berlin to New York have blamed Airbnb and its rivals for driving up rental prices and pushing out local residents.
Ada Colau, Barcelona’s mayor, said the fines were for listing unlicensed tourist apartments for short-term let.
“It is not acceptable that there are thousands of apartments operating illegally and without a licence, without paying taxes and causing damage to homeowner associations,” she said.
The fines are the second sanctions Barcelona has levied against Airbnb and HomeAway . In July 2015, the city served each of them two fines of €30,000 for offering tourist apartments without publishing their tourism registry licence number, as required by law in Barcelona’s region of Catalonia. HomeAway paid the fines, while Airbnb appealed against the order, Ms Colau said.
Since then, the two sites have continued to offer apartments without licence numbers, the city said. Because the number of unlicensed rentals offered was high — 3,812 for Airbnb and 1,744 for HomeAway, according to the city — the municipal administration decided to apply the maximum fine of €600,000.
Airbnb’s spokesman in Barcelona, Andreu Castellano, said the company was “saddened” by the decision and would appeal.
“Less than a month ago, we met with officials and Airbnb committed to work together in the best interest of the city,” Mr Castellano said in a statement. “Airbnb is part of the solution in Barcelona. We want to be good partners to cities and we will keep proactively seeking collaboration with Barcelona to maintain this dialogue and support regular people who share their homes.”
The fines in Barcelona are part of a larger effort to control a tourism boom that has angered many city residents. Between July and October, the city says it issued cease and desist orders to 709 unlicensed apartments.
“Tourism is a positive asset for the city, but it was unbalanced and it is having a direct impact on the right to housing,” said Ms Colau.
Barcelona’s moves reflect those in other popular tourist cities. In Berlin, a law banning short-term rentals, originally passed in 2014, went into effect on May 1. Under the law, those who rent more than 50 per cent of their apartment, on a short-term basis without a city permit, risk being fined up to €100,000.
In October, New York governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill that effectively imposed a similar ban on the short-term rental of entire apartments in New York City . Violators face fines of up to $7,500.
The laws were both meant to ease a housing shortage and slow rising rents.
Airbnb is currently in talks to buy Xiaozhu , China’s second-largest home accommodation service, which is seen by some as a reaction to the regulatory crackdown in Europe and elsewhere.
HomeAway did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

A short time later the man, 52-year-old Leszek Migdal, also known as Peter, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officers attended the location to conduct enquiries and the death was classified as unexplained but not suspicious.
Following new information which came to the attention of officers in September, a murder investigation was launched and a 46-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with Leszek’s death.
He has since been released from police custody on conditional bail to allow for further enquiries to continue.
Officers investigating this incident would like to hear from anyone who has any information that may assist our enquiries.
The police appreciate that this took place two months ago but they are urging anyone who was in the Shirley Road area between 9pm on Friday 18 August and 6am on Saturday 19 August and saw anything suspicious or that concerned them, to please make contact with them.
Detective Superintendent David West, who is leading the investigation, said: “We appreciate that this incident took place some time ago now, and that the images we are releasing are not very clear, however we are certain that if you are pictured you will recognise yourself. I would like to stress that the people in these images are not in any trouble, and we simply need to speak with them about anything they may have seen on Shirley Road on August 18th or 19th.
“While Leszek’s death was initially deemed as unexplained but not suspicious, we now have information to believe that this may not be the case, which has led to the launch of this murder investigation.
“Specialist officers are supporting Leszek’s family. As part of our ongoing enquiries we would like to hear from anyone who believes they have information, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, into the circumstances surrounding Leszek’s death.”
Paying tribute to Leszek, his sister said: “In remembrance of my beloved brother Peter, whose death came as a painful mystery.
“We are reaching out to anyone who may have even the smallest piece of information related to his passing, as it would greatly help us to find solace in saying our final goodbyes.
“Even though the circumstances he found himself in were tough, we always wanted the best for him.
“Peter will be remembered as life continues for us, we love and will miss him a lot.”

Simvastatin/fenofibrate combination in the treatment of dyslipidemia: current evidence

Background: It has been demonstrated that statins can reduce major cardiovascular complications throughout a broad range of patients with dyslipidemia and multiple cardiovascular risk. Despite the impact of statin therapy on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, a residual cardiovascular risk remains following lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In many patients, optimization of the lipid profile cannot be achieved with statin therapy. Therefore, pharmacologic interventions with non-statin therapy can be used.
Aims: The objective of this review was to analyze current clinical evidence of the effects of simvastatin/fenofibrate combination therapy.
Methods: We searched and analyzed the evidence up to June 2014, regarding the effects of statin/fibrate combination therapy for reducing cardiovascular complications.
Results: Forty-nine studies reporting the efficacy and safety of statin/fibrate combination therapy were analyzed. Of the forty-nine, 19 analyzed the simvastatin/fenofibrate combination therapy. This therapy was demonstrated to be safe and superior to the statin monotherapy in modifying atherogenic dyslipidemia, including lipoprotein subclasses. Nevertheless, in randomized clinical trials cardiovascular endpoints were not significantly different when fenofibrate was added to a standard low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reducing therapy. Of note, in the subgroup analysis, positive results were observed in patients with high triglycerides and low high-density lipoproteins. The inclusion of heterogeneous populations in these studies may explain the mixed results of cardiovascular outcomes seen in randomized clinical trials.
Conclusion: Future clinical studies that rigorously address the effects of simvastatin/fenofibrate in patients with triglycerides >2.25 mmol/L and high density lipoprotein cholesterol <0.90 mmol/L, will provide a more accurate conclusion regarding the use of simvastatin/fenofibrate combination therapy. For now, emphasis must be put on non-pharmacological interventions that effectively induce weight loss and strict glycemic control in diabetics. The initiation of simvastatin/fenofibrate combination therapy among patients with residual cardiovascular risk should be employed at the physician's discretion, as this strategy lacks hard cardiovascular end points.
Keywords: dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, residual risk, simvastatin fenofibrate combination therapy

In the summer of 2014, Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol was among several big names were on the free-agent market (there was some guy named LeBron James out there, too).
Although Gasol eventually decided to head to the Eastern Conference and sign with the Chicago Bulls, Gasol was close to joining the team that ousted his Lakers from the 2014 playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs.
Gasol, who did sign with the Spurs this summer, revealed how he was almost San Antonio-bound two years ago in a recent interview transcribed by Eurohoops.net:
Before returning to the States, Pau Gasol was the main speaker in a sponsorship event in which he revealed that in the past he had denied the offer to play with the Spurs.
“Two years ago I declined the option of going to the Spurs. Now it was the right time to go to San Antonio”, explained the Spaniard: “Popovich has he told me that I will contribute a lot and along with LaMarcus Aldridge, without Tim Duncan any more, I will be one of the leaders of the team in the front line”.
For many years the idea of Gasol playing the final seasons of his career in Spain was a popular rumor in Europe, but now this is not happening: “While still playing in the NBA, my chances of returning to FC Barcelona are reduced. It’s a nice idea, but becoming less and less possible. My hope of playing for the national team remains the same, evaluating it year by year and analyzing how my body adapts to the workload.”

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder
The role of Cole Trickle was a natural fit for Tom Cruise. Just like his role in Cocktail (1988), Cruise plays a man starting a career he really knows little about. Cole also has the confidence/arrogance that is prevalent in most of Cruise’s parts. Add some minor daddy issues and you have the standard Tom Cruise role that populated so much of his earlier work. It should not be a surprise to anyone that it was Cruise himself who came up with the basic story for this film. After working with Paul Newman, a racing aficionado, in Color of Money (1986), Cruise became fascinated by racing after doing some practice runs with Newman.
Cole plays a hot young driver and Robert Duvall an old farmer who builds his cars and manages his pit crew. The first half hour or so is merely the two of them learning how to get along and work together. Randy Quaid plays the manager who gets Cole a sponsor. Everyone’s goal is to get to the Daytona 500. Cole wins races, earns some fans as well as a rival, Rowdy Burns. There is plenty of race track action but little plot.
A story line finally begins when Cole and Rowdy get into an accident and both are airlifted to the hospital, where Cole meets Dr. Claire Lewicki, played by Cruise's future wife, Nicole Kidman. Their first scene is played for laughs as Cruise takes Kidman’s hand and places it in his crotch, thinking his pit crew has hired a disguised stripper, as they had earlier. Kidman was reportedly handpicked for the role by Cruise after he saw her in Dead Calm (1989). She was still using her natural red hair and her Australian accent was very noticeable. Their marriage may not have lasted but he sure as hell gave her career a boost.
The rest of the film deals with Cole recovering from his accident and dealing with a new rival, played by Cary Elwes who was at the peak of his career. Cole also must learn to control his temper on and off the race track. Control is the movies theme. After having sex, Claire asks Cole, “Tell me what you love so much about racing.” Cole answers, “Speed. To be able to control it. To know that I can control something that's out of control.” Just like in Top Gun (1986) when he had, “The need for speed.”
Days of Thunder is a decent enough film considering the characters were worn out in 1990, the plot is as predictable as any sports film and the love story is warm, at best. Your enjoyment of this film may be greater if you are a racing fan. Some get a surge of excitement watching cars tear around a track while it bores the shit out of others. Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham once made a joke about watching a race, “Look, another left turn.” Several famous race car drivers make cameo appearances and Cole Trickle’s name was obviously inspired by driver Dick Trickle. I know. What were his parents thinking?
I am a Tom Cruise fan but just because he found a new hobby, did not mean it made a great film.
Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall in Days of Thunder.
Exactly Eric, Cole Trickle fits Tom Cruise like a racing glove. He's the embodiment of the Cruise persona. He's an arrogant, ignorant, talented, hothead. He struts around like the cock of the walk and backs it up with his natural driving ability even while lacking rudimentary knowledge about the sport of racing. And what would a Tom Cruise movie be without his explosive temper being on display? You know, one of those scenes where he suddenly goes all Al Pacino, barks out a few lines, runs his hands through his hair and stalks around the room.
I couldn't take any of this seriously. The father/son dynamic between Cole and Harry is poorly written. Even Robert Duvall can't act his way through this much corn syrup. I laughed out loud when a 22 year old, baby-faced Nicole Kidman showed up playing a neurosurgeon. She must have graduated high school when she was seven since becoming a neurosurgeon in the United States requires four years of undergraduate, four years of med school, plus a seven year residency. Barbra Streisand at 74 playing the mother of two young girls in Gypsy would be more believable than Nicole Kidman was in 1990 playing a neurosurgeon.
Sure some of the racing scenes are exciting, if you like that sort of thing. As far as NASCAR goes, I'm squarely in the “it bores the shit out of me” category (I did learn a bit of trivia however. 2016 marked the 80th anniversary of the very first NASCAR race which was held at Daytona Beach, Florida on March 8, 1936). Clearly the plot was secondary to the racing aspect of the movie. It's easy to see why Cruise wanted to make the movie but I think he enjoyed making it a lot more than I enjoyed watching it. It was a hit at the time but Cruise's star was then at its very brightest. Audiences would have paid money to see him play Peck's Bad Boy. From the vantage point of several decades later, Days of Thunder looks pretty bad.

Chinese man Sun Jifa, 51, spends 8 yrs creating his bionic hands
Sun Jifa could not afford the hospital’s prosthetic limbs after the explosive for blast fishing detonated prematurely, but desperately needed the use of his hands to work on the family farm.
That’s when the 51-year-old from Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, decided to create his own bionic hands.
‘I survived but I had no hands and I couldn’t afford to buy the false hands the hospital wanted me to have – so I decided to make my own,’ he explained.
Sun spent eight years making prototypes before finally creating a pair of metal hands which can grip and hold thanks to a series of wires and pulleys inside the shell.
‘I control them with movements from my elbows and I can work, love normally and feed myself just like anyone else,’ explained the real life tin man.
‘The only drawback is that steel is quite heavy so they’re tiring to wear and get hot or cold in the extremes of summer and winter,’ added Sun.
Now he plans to develop the design for other similarly disabled people.
‘I made this from scrap metal for virtually nothing. There is no need to pay hospitals a fortune,’ he said.

While the tragic violence in Mumbai was still unfolding on Nov. 27, a Washington Post report noted: “It is not known how the attackers seized on the low-key Chabad House.”
It was one of several press reports at the time that professed surprise when the best-known Jewish site in the city became a target for the gunmen, later identified as Pakistan-based Islamic terrorists.
”This amazement” on the part of the mainstream media “mystified me, as if there was a strong mystery” as to why the killers were targeting Jews, said Terry Mattingly, who writes the nationally syndicated column, “On Religion,” for the Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C.
Speaking on a panel Monday night at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University on the uneasy relationship between religion and journalism in the U.S., Mattingly cited the Mumbai case as a recent example of a media “blind spot” when it comes to reporting on religion.
He is the author of a chapter in a new book called “Blind Spot: When Journalists Don’t Get Religion” (Oxford University Press), whose thesis is that the general press fail to take religion seriously and, as a result, miss or misread important events and trends, lacking a religious context in covering the news.
One of the editors of the book, Roberta Green Ahmanson, also took part in the program, along with Kenneth Woodward, who was religion editor of Newsweek for 38 years. Ari Goldman, a professor at Columbia’s journalism school who covered religion for 20 years for the New York Times, served as host and had high praise for the book, which he said made the case that “without an understanding of religion, a journalist can miss the greatest stories of our time.”
Indeed, at times it seems that the press has an almost willful ignorance of reality when it comes to religion, like when fundamentalist militants who wage terror or war are described as having primarily political aspirations rather than being motivated by Allah, and therefore far more difficult to reason with. Hamas and Hezbollah come to mind.
Terry Mattingly offered several explanations for such behavior on the part of the press, including “simple ignorance,” fear of Islam and of being perceived as biased against the religion, and striving for moral equivalency.
The general consensus, he said, is that the problem in coverage is the result of ignorance. But Mattingly said more often it is due to a culture clash between mainstream journalists, who overwhelmingly are liberal, and more conservative religious people and institutions.
Citing another Washington Post story, this one from 1993, that described followers of the Christian Right as “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command,” Mattingly observed, “it’s hard to write a story if you lack understanding or empathy” of and for the subject.
Woodward complained about the lack of serious commitment to covering religion in the media, a climate where reporters “have to sell their editors who don’t care” on a story. Too often, he said, religion pages consist of church service listings rather than articles making the connection between major news events and religion.
Ahmanson, a writer and philanthropist, emphasized that “religion is one of the major motivators in people’s lives,” along with “money, sex and power,” and should be treated with more thoughtfulness.
Instead, she said, “religion is perceived” by many in the media “as a crutch for those who are not sophisticated or educated.”
The views offered by the panelists resonated with my experience in observing how the mainstream media covers Jewish issues. Many in our community complain about such treatment, usually insisting that the press probes too often and too deeply into controversial matters rather than more positive ones.
That may be true, and it’s a common charge against the media. But it’s important for us to recognize that the press treats all religions that way, with a tendency to highlight exotica and marginalia. That’s why we see more stories in the daily press about “unkosher” water in New York City and sheitels made in India and husbands who marry again without giving their wife a religious divorce than stories about Jewish education, trips to Israel for young people, and efforts to counter assimilation.
But we should also notice that coverage of Mormons tends to focus on dramatic cases of polygamy, Evangelical Christians are depicted as zealots, and Catholics as in dispute with papal rulings or priestly pedophiles.
It may be small comfort to know that Jewish life is reported on with the same bias as other religious communities, but at least the press are, overall, equal opportunity offenders.
The key theme of the program at Columbia the other night applies not only to coverage of religion but to any press reporting, and that is to first know your subject and take it seriously. Treat it with respect. And then just maybe you will be able to write about it with enough insight and empathy to touch the reader’s mind and heart.

The whole residence was amazing. When we arrived, both kids and adults were all over how lovely everything was. Often it looks better on pictures, but this property was far more amazing in reality than on the pictures we had seen. We greatly appreciated the 6 bedrooms with air conditioning. The terraces were really lovely. The pool was enough where we spent the most time, it was lovely. Even though we were 11 people, there was always a place to find peace. Nice contact with the very sweet lady who suits the house. We all had a truly amazing holiday.
There was simply nothing that was not good. Everything was so nice.

For 100 years little attention has been paid to the Russian army that fought the Germans and the Austro-Hungarians in the First World War on the Eastern Front. Yet the Tsar’s army played a critical part in the global conflict and was engaged in a sequence of shattering campaigns that were waged on a massive scale on several fronts across Eastern Europe. Nik Cornish, in this heavily illustrated account, seeks to set the record straight. In a selection of almost 200 archive photographs he gives a graphic impression of the Russian army of the time, of the soldiers and commanders, and of the conditions in which they fought. He describes the key stages in the struggle - the battles of Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes, the Przemysl siege, the Gorlice-Tarnow and Brusilov offensives and the Romanian and Turkish campaigns. His book is a fascinating photographic record of the army under the Tsar Nicholas II, then under the Provisional Government and the Bolshevik rule that succeeded him. The impact of the Russian revolution is also revealed in the photographs which take the story through from the initial outbreaks of discontent and the abdication of the Tsar to Lenin’s take-over and the end of Russia’s war - and of the imperial army – in 1917.

Although viewers will see a lot of DC Comics characters on Arrow and The Flash, don’t expect cameos by Batman and Superman.
Warner Bros. has announced a Hall H film lineup that includes The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Mad Max: Fury Road and Jupiter Ascending — but no Batman v Superman.
Since the “Game of Thrones” actor remains cagey about Aquaman, here are five other characters we’d like to see him play on the big screen.
Even if he’s not ready to admit that he’s in Dawn of Justice, Momoa has plenty of thoughts on the superhero genre.
“Dawn of Justice’s” cast has grown by one more, but who could the actor be playing?
Rumor report: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will feature Wonder Woman in a traditional costume, an egomaniacal Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne living in a new home.
A new rumor contends Warner Bros. is eyeing another Batman solo movie 2019, continuing an expected string of DC Comics adaptations.

rocketjk keeps up (or tries to!) in 2020
Join LibraryThing to post.
I greatly enjoyed my entry into Club Read, and the kindly welcome I received, midway through 2019, so I'm back for another CR spin around the globe. I live in Mendocino County, northern California, USA. My reading is an eclectic mix of fiction, history, memoirs, bios and more. In addition to the books I read straight through, I like to read anthologies, collections and other books of short entries one story/chapter at a time instead of plowing through them all at once. I have a couple of stacks of such books from which I read in this manner between the books I read from cover to cover (novels and histories, mostly). So I call these my "between books." When I finish a "between book," I add it to my yearly list.
Here's my first book of the year . . .
The Secret History of the War, Volume 2 by Waverly Root
Read as a "between book" (see above). This fascinating, if somewhat over-detailed, work about World War 2 by journalist Waverly Root was published in 1945 after the end of the war in Europe but before the Japanese surrender. However, some of the chapters were written even before V-E Day and so speak of the war in Europe as still ongoing. The "Secret" of the title refers to the fact that Root's primary themes are not the military conduct of the war (although that is certainly referred to), but the diplomatic, propaganda and economic machinations of the various powers, both public and, as the word suggests, clandestine. Although Root writes about events and power relationships all over the globe, his two main theses are that a) France was betrayed by traitors highly placed within their government and military who were themselves fascists and wanted to see the Republic eliminated and that b) the U.S. State Department made one wrong-headed move after another, particularly when it came to their decision to legitimize the collaborators within the Vichy government and freeze out De Gaulle and his Free French movement as much as possible, despite the fact that Vichy was willingly cooperating with the Axis and De Gaulle was actually fighting alongside the U.S. and England. The book's final 140-page chapter details at great length the ways in which this dynamic played itself out in France's vast colonial territories before, during and after the Allied invasion of North Africa. Root's thesis about why the State Department was so consistently pointed in the wrong direction was that the department was basically a clubhouse of Ivy Leaguers and others of the patrician class who had little comfort with or respect for the average American and, in actual practice, the ideals of Democracy. He believed that these men were more comfortable with their fellow rich kids within the Vichy government and not particularly uncomfortable with the fascist leanings.
The degree to which the Vichy government was complicit in aiding the Axis is examined in a fascinating chapter on the war in Asia in which Root describes how Vichy allowed the Japanese to walk into Indo-China, which they still controlled, at the behest of the Germans, a move that greatly facilitated the Japanese advance throughout the Pacific after Pearl Harbor.
Several chapters describe the rapacious way that the Germans drained the countries they occupied of resources, food and even manpower.
As is obvious from the title, this book is the second volume of what was originally a 2-volume set, but for which Root soon produced a third volume. I completed Volume 1 early in 2019. In those first chapters, Root moved his focus around Europe, showing how relations between between Germany and the various other countries, whether occupied by them, allied with them or neutral. Each of the first two volumes runs to almost 600 pages of small print. The only fault of the writing is that Root often insists in providing every single example he knows of to prove his points, long after those points have already been successfully made.
Heh. Sounds interesting, though the "continuing to argue" style drives me nuts. As a Foreign Service brat (though not around then), yeah, he's got a point. Though he (may have) missed the part about the State Department people in Washington not listening to the State Department people on the ground, which continues to the present day...
Stopping by to star your thread, looking forward to following along with your reading this year! The war book sounds like a worthwhile read to get you off to a good start for the year.
It's All In the Frijoles: 100 Famous Latinos Share Real-Life Stories, Time-Tested Dichos, Favorite Folktales, and Inspiring Words of Wisdom by Yolanda Nava
Another "between book" finished (see first post). Yolanda Nava is, according to this book's back cover, "an Emmy Award-winning television journalist, newspaper columnist, educator, consultant and community leader," and the daughter of Mexican immigrants. In this book, she has put together an array of short oral histories from Latin American artists and community leaders, plus folk tales, poems and dichos (proverbs). These entries are arranged in chapters by the various graces, Respect, Loyalty, Charity, etc., all meant to illustrate the ways in which these qualities are an integral part Latin American culture as a whole.
Some of the chapters work better and/or are more interesting than others. Among the most interesting entries are examples of pre-Columbian Mexican and South American folk tales. I wouldn't want to have to sit down and read this book straight through, but reading it a chapter at a time over a year or so as I did helped my enjoyment factor. I don't know that Nava succeeded in convincing me that these qualities were particularly part of Latin American culture (as opposed to other cultures). I would imagine any ethnicity/nationality could legitimately produce such a book. But that wasn't really Nava's intent, anyway. As an introduction (or further education about) Latin American culture, this book has solid charms. And as a teaching tool for educators wanting to enlighten Latin American children about their own backgrounds, I think it would work very well.
Happy New Year, Jerry! I'm sorry that It's All in the Frijoles wasn't a better book; I'll look for it in my local library.
Dropping off a star, Jerry. Happy new year. Your off to a great start already reading-wise. I want to digest your WWII review when I have more time. Sounds very interesting.
Enjoying having you in the group and following along. I loved your Singer review (2019 thread). Wish you another good year.
Thanks to all for the kind words! Happy New Year once again and Happy Reading in 2020!
It's nice to have you in the group, I'll try to follow your thread more regularly this year and wish you a happy new year and happy reading!
Here's wishing a great reading year in 2020. I lurked a bit on your thread last year, but was largely absent on LT. Do I remember correctly that you used to live in NO. We lived there for 18 years, moving to Seattle in 1986. I still miss it very much.
>11 arubabookwoman: Yes! I lived in New Orleans for about 7 years, and moved to San Francisco in 1986! So we were there at the same time. Ever hang out in the Dream Palace?
>12 rocketjk: No, should I be ashamed that I ‘ve never heard of the Dream Palace??
I came to NO in 1968 to go to college, ended up going to law school too. I met my husband during our first week at Tulane. We ended up staying in NO by inertia, but after we had 3 kids and were paying private school tuition, we moved ourselves up to Seattle in 1986, and began our careers all over again (husband is an architect). We like it so much in Seattle, we were sure our kids would stay in the area (we ended up with 5), but somehow all our kids ended up on the east coast, so we are in the process of heading to the east coast for retirement.
>14 arubabookwoman: Wow! Great story. No, you shouldn't be ashamed of not knowing of the Dream Palace. Doesn't sound like you were spending too much time hanging out in music bars! The Dream Palace was a great such a bar on Frenchman Street in the Marigny. This was when there were only two such establishments on the street, the Dream Palace and Snug Harbor. Several years after you and I left, the whole street got filled with music clubs and is now quite a mob scene, especially on the weekends. At any rate, I had a lot of friends who frequented the Dream Palace on a regular basis, and I saw many great bands there: The Radiators, Little Queenie and the Percolators, the Neville Brothers and many more. I was in my mid- to late-20s then, leaving town for San Francisco when I was 31. I spent most of my New Orleans time living in Gentilly. I worked at WWNO, the NPR affiliate, which had (and has) studios on the UNO campus by the Lakefront.
The Rescue by Joseph Conrad
For over a decade, now, I've begun each calendar year with a reading (or, in most cases, a re-reading) of Joseph Conrad novel, in this way reading through all of Conrad's novels in chronological order (or their publishing). This year's reading, then, was The Rescue: A Romance of the Shallows, Conrad's next to last novel. This was the last that I hadn't read before, as I read The Rover some years back.
The protagonist of The Rescue is Tom Lingard, who also appears in Conrad's first two novels, Almayer's Folly and An Outcast of the Islands, although the events here predate those two stories in Lingard's life. Lingard is the owner and captain of the brig, The Lightning. He plies his trade, such as it is, among the islands and mists of the Malayan archipelago, where he has gained outsized status as a man of power and prestige, while at the same time almost entirely, by design, cut off from English civilization. In flashback we see the story of Lingard's life being saved by a young prince, Hassim, and learn that Lingard has in turn saved Hassim's life, helping him escape from, basically, a coup. Lingard has sworn to help his friend gain back his rule, and as the story opens has been planning and plotting this action for two years. He has gathered his forces and is almost ready to put the plan into action when unexpected events, as events usually will, intercede. The novel revolves around Lingard's attempts to overcome a succession of potentially fatal roadblocks thrown in his way.
There's nothing new about a Conrad plot being slow to get itself going (in fact, sometimes they never really do!). In this case, however, once we go into action, the story moves along quite well. Which is not to say that the novel is plot-driven only. The ins and outs of Lingard's thoughts and motivations are certainly delved. And as always, Conrad uses the natural surroundings almost as a character itself, darkness and mist in particular. Finally, Conrad is quite deft at creating and maintaining suspense, and the periods of tense waiting for events to occur add fuel to the heat of the story even while slowing down the action.
This is not Conrad at his height or at his most skillful. But I still found it to be very good storytelling, and since I love Conrad's voice, I enjoyed this novel very much indeed. And, happily, at the points where I thought Conrad might be about to fall into cliches of plot, he twists himself out of those traps deftly.
Interesting that you start ever year with Conrad. Actually that like sounds terrific habit. Really enjoyed your review.
Also, interesting how many New Orleans connections show up. >14 arubabookwoman: I don’t believe I knew about your NO connection. And to think you both overlapped? (I was there for undergrad 1991-5.)
Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande
Well, it came as no surprise to me that I found this book well written, eye-opening and thought provoking, seeing as how much my wife enjoyed it and learned from it and how much it's been praised here on LT. I basically gulped the book down over a weekend. On the other hand, I don't know how much new I have to say about it. What Gawande has to say about the history of the nursing home and independent living movements is extremely interesting and makes a lot of sense. The most powerful sections are those in which Gawande relates the slow evolution of society's and modern medicine's attitudes about end of life care and the transfering of priorities from fighting every symptom and the physical safety of patients to listening to what patients actually want, and how our priorities evolve as we register that our time is becoming limited. It certainly led me to think back somewhat ruefully about my own father's six months on a respirator at the end of his life circa 1990, and our family's attitude about the steps being taken to lengthen his life, and compare that with my mothers last years, just a couple of years back, spent in a pretty decent, all things considered, assisted living facility as she descended into dementia. Happily, the family trust was such that my sister and I were able to get her the additional on-site care that kept us from having to move her to a full-on nursing home. At any rate, Being Mortal is indeed a very powerful piece of writing that gave me a lot to think about as I crash and burn my way toward 65 in a few months.
On the "This is a Book That Absolutely Everyone Should Read"-O-Meter, Being Mortal measures pretty high, although not quite as high, for me personally, as the astounding Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates which blew me away so thoroughly last year.
1963 Official Baseball Almanac by Bill Wise
Read as a "between book" (see first post) For baseball fans, and especially for fans of baseball history, this is a fun and fascinating volume. Back in the day, Major League Baseball used to publish an annual pre-season round-up of the previous season and look-ahead to the coming year. With the internet and such, I'm not sure if these books still come out. This is a neat, pocketbook-sized book put out by Signet. The book includes a chapter for each of the 20 teams then in existence. Each chapter contains a chatty, light-hearted encapsulation of team's 1962 season and off-season (i.e. the trades they'd made and why) with a rundown of which players were likely to contribute in '63 and how each team was likely to do, plus full-page profiles of from one to three of the team's important players, and a full roster sheet for each team. It's fun to read these predictions with the knowledge of hindsight, some 57 years later!
The back of the book contains stats and standings tables from the 1962, and a full listing of all-time baseball records as they stood at that time. Lots of fun for baseball fans.
>16 rocketjk: I enjoyed your Conrad review and I like the idea of staring every year with a Conrad novel. For me it's what I've come to call Steinbeck in summer as I read one Steinbeck novel each summer.
>20 OscarWilde87: Thanks! It's fun to have one's reading year anchored in that way at one point or another. I only have one more Conrad novel to go. I'm not sure what I'll do going forward. When I started the tradition, I skipped Conrad's first two novels, so I might go back and read those. Or I might try reading the three novels that Conrad co-wrote with Ford Maddux Ford, which I have never heard anyone actually refer to or say that they have read. I might just start over, or I might begin going through the novels of Philip Roth, another great favorite of mine. Again, in that case, I would skip the first two and start with Portnoy. Or it might be fun to select an author whose works I haven't read that much of. Faulkner, say.
>21 kidzdoc: Thanks. I have to admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the writing about the book that I'd read recently here on LT, and so decided to keep my own comments relatively brief.
"Did they say anything good about the Mets or Phillies that year?"
Regarding the Mets . . . nope!
Regarding the Phillies, if I recall, big things were expected from Johnny Callison and Art Mahaffey. (Note that the Phillies actually went on to an 87-75 record in '63. And, yes, I had to look that up. :) )
>23 rocketjk: I know what you mean regarding Being Mortal. I'm much more likely to write a detailed review of a book that few, if any, LTers have read, or if it's about medicine and I can provide a unique perspective about it.
Ha! The Mets were still awful in 1963, but the Phillies were a year away from their calamitous season of 1964, in which they were seemly headed for the pennant before an epic collapse in the last two weeks of the season kept them out of the postseason.
>15 rocketjk: During most of our time in NO we lived Uptown. The house we owned was on Chestnut off Napoleon. It was in the neighborhood where the Neville Brothers grew up--I love Aaron Neville. The last three years in NO we lived out by the lake in Lake Vista. Our next door neighbor was an English professor at UNO. After we left, he wrote a book of short stories, which is quite good: The Torturer's Apprentice by John Biguenet.
Enjoyed your Conrad review. I haven’t read anything by him, and right now he doesn’t appeal (just because too many books), but I love your idea of starting each new year with a (re-)read of a Conrad novel, and i might steal it. Dickens, for example, I have enjoyed what little I have read and would, in theory, like to read more, but I never get round to it (again, too many books). Starting off each year with one imposes a kind of gentle, but completely do-able, discipline, and I quite like the idea...
>18 rocketjk: I'm another Being Mortal CR fan. I agree it's a very important (and honest) book, and I'm glad that I own a physical copy, as I feel it's a book I will need to re-read in part at certain times in life to remind myself of the core messages.
I've not read Between the World and Me, so that's going on my wish list.
>25 arubabookwoman: I knew that part of Uptown a little bit, though I can't say I knew it well. Back in the 80s during my day in NO, there was a music bar on Valence Street called Benny's. In NOLA fashion, the music didn't even begin until around midnight. Cyrille Neville had a couple of bands that used to play there. I'm not familiar with Biguenet, although that book looks good. The English professor I knew at UNO was a fellow named Rick Barton. Great guy. He used to do the movie reviews for the radio station and one semester he let me "drop in" on a short story writing class he was teaching, which ultimately led to my moving to San Francisco to go to grad school.
>27 AlisonY: Between the World and Me certainly has a different subject matter than Being Mortal, but both I consider essential reading, the Coates book particularly for Americans, but I think everyone can glean a lot of insight from it. My review is on the book's work page, if you're interested.
>28 rocketjk: We were just down the street from Tipitina’s on Napoleon. That was a popular place in the 60’s and 70’s, and I gather it’s still around. Did you ever go there?
>29 arubabookwoman: Tip's? Oh, yes. So many great memories of that place! And, yes, it's still there. It has undergone one or two changes in layout, and it has been closed once or twice for greater or longer periods, but it is still going strong and still has the same great spirit. I would say my three top music bars were Tip's, the Dream Palace on Frenchman Street and the Maple Leaf on Oak Street. Only the Dream Palace is gone. The other two are still chugging along, thank goodness!
To a Distant Island by James McConkey
The late 1980s found me in grad school at San Francisco State University doing, among other things, deep dives into the novels of Joseph Conrad and Philip Roth and the plays of Anton Chekhov (as well as biographies of Conrad and Chekhov) as the "Three Major Authors" on whom I would be taking oral exams for my Masters in English Lit/Creative Writing. Somewhere along the line during those days, a fellow student gave me her copy of To a Distant Island as a gift because it is a memoir by McConkey that has Chekhov as its central figure. How does that work? Toward the end of his life, in 1890, Chekhov made a long arduous trip by boat, train and carriage from Moscow all the way to Sakhalin Island, off Russia's Pacific Coast. McConkey tells us in this book's first paragraph that Chekhov "had been undergoing a depression so severe that his most recent biographer believes he might have been nearing a breakdown" and that this was "a journey of over sixty-five hundred miles, or more than a quarter of our planet's circumference." The trip's avowed goal was to study and document the allegedly horrific penal colonies that the Russian government was running on the Island. But as McConkey, via Chekhov's own letters and the book he wrote about the trip, tells us that Chekhov's real goal was to shake himself loose of this depression by plunging into the unknown and experiencing life away from the restrictions of Moscow society and his own growing fame as a writer. He made it to Sakhalin and spent three months interviewing thousands of prisoners and their families, as well as the island's administrators and other inhabitants of the place. Conditions were even worse than Chekhov had expected. He ultimately wrote a book about his findings, The Island of Sakhalin.
OK, back to McConkey. In the mid-80s, McConkey decided to write a memoir about his family's year in Florence, Italy in the early 1970s. McConkey was on sabbatical from his tenure at an unnamed university, driven away from the school by the late-60s turmoil on campus that he had found himself drawn into but ultimately repelled and distressed by. While in Italy, he came upon a volume of Chekhov's Sakhalin letters and became fascinated, going on to read everything he could find of these letters and of Chekhov's life. From the letters, McConkey imagines and creates a novel-like narrative for Chekhov's journey, interspersing known facts with his own fancy. He makes an admittedly conjectural examination of Chekhov's motivations and psychological evolution during his travels. But this is, as I said up top, ultimately a memoir. McConkey endeavors to thread his own memories of his family's stay in Italy throughout his telling of his Chekhov tale. The problem here is that while the thematic connections between the two story lines were evidently clear to McConkey, he fails, in my view, to present them effectively (or at all) for the reader. Also, McConkey's problems, the issues he's come to Italy to heal from, do not seem that dire. After a tumultuous and depressing year or two on a college campus, he is able to spring free (knowing his job will await him upon return) to have a pleasant year with his loving wife and two sons in Italy. It is hardly on par with a 30-year old man trying to remain in denial about his worsening consumption throwing himself alone through winter across 6,500 miles of wilderness to spend three months in a horrifying prison colony. McConkey tries to bring depth to the work with speculative explorations of Chekhov's mindset and present psychological themes for us to consider. But while McConkey's writing is quite good and his points are generally lucid, it's ultimately hard to care about his speculations, and I ultimately found myself skimming these passages.
I was mostly happy to finally be reading this book. It's been sitting on various shelves in various homes of mine for over 30 years, after all! And I did learn a lot about Chekov's Sakhalin journey, which I had never really explored. Other than reading a short story collection or two over the past three decades, it had been a while since I really visited with Chekhov at all, a writer whose work and life had once been a source of great interest for me and brought me quite a bit of intellectual and artistic enjoyment. But I would recommend this book only to those with a particular interest in Chekhov's life. Anyway, now I can finally tell my friend that I read the book she gave me in 1989!
Do you have any interest in reading The Island of Sakhalin? I bought it (cheaply) for Kindle several years ago when Lisa reviewed it here, but haven’t read it yet. It ‘s still for sale for Kindle for $4.99.
Re Chekov, in her earlier book about reading/writing (not the one that just came out) Francine Prose wrote that she started each day by reading one of Chekov’s short stories. I once tried that but only lasted a few days. It is an aspirational project I would like to undertake one day.
>33 arubabookwoman: Thanks, but I'm not a kindle guy. Paper books only for me. Just my preference. I'll read the Chekhov Sakhalin book one of these days. I love Chekhov's short stories, but generally I start the day by reading the baseball box scores, at least during the baseball season. During the off-season I start the day by dreaming about Opening Day! :)
>29 arubabookwoman: >30 rocketjk: >31 kidzdoc: my favorite New Orleans memory is watching Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ play in Tipitina’s with Peter Buck (from REM) also on stage and a crazy good opening band (Follow4Now ??). This would have been about 1994.
>18 rocketjk: Being Mortal was a life-view changer for me, so I like it on your essential reading list. Interesting about Between the World and Me being higher on the list - although I do think about it all time.
>19 rocketjk: wow...1963 season preview
>32 rocketjk: Chekhov is fascinating so I loved your review, even if I’ll pass on the book.
>34 rocketjk: as an Astros fan I’ve spent the last several mornings starting the day by cringing painfully and looking for a bag to hide my head in. (Then reading Dante’s hell, which is a much more pleasant place to be - well, as a reader)

The term ‘hydration’ permeates the beauty industry unconditionally, every product attempting to aid in ensuring our skin is supple and dewy. In achieving this feat, the concoction of ingredients must consist of a curated blend of active ingredients, including vitamins, to aid our skin’s appearance. One hero of protecting and revitalising skin is vitamin E, and if you aren’t already employing it in your skin regime, we’re here to introduce you to it along with some simple product additions packing a punch.
What is vitamin E?
Vitamin E is a naturally occurring compound present in the skin. However, its natural levels begin to decrease with age, through excessive exposure to UV rays and free radical damage. While there are eight forms of the vitamin, it is typically labelled on skin care as tocopherol or tocopherol acetate.
It is an antioxidant vitamin and an oil, often found in topical blends or moisturisers and can be naturally derived from botanicals, like wheat germ, or synthetically manufactured. Synthetic formulations consist of eight different forms, yet only one of these is identical to its natural molecule, meaning natural vitamin E has twice the potency of a manufactured alternative.
What are the benefits of applying it?
A healer, a hydrator, an all-rounder of an ingredient, vitamin E’s benefits plead a strong case for it to be introduced in your beauty rotation if it hasn’t already cemented a spot. Of these benefits, they include:
Protecting the lipid barrier:
Through being oil-soluble, vitamin E is naturally compatible with the lipid barrier of the epidermis. When applied, it rejuvenates the skin and helps to rebuild and strengthen the lipid barrier, enabling the skin to optimise moisture retention and protect its barrier from potential irritants.
Healing the skin:
As a natural anti-inflammatory, the primary benefit of applying vitamin E is its ability to accelerate the healing of skin damage, like burns and irritation, by up to 50 per cent. Coupled with this, the vitamin is antioxidant, adding further benefits to use through its ability to neutralise harmful free radicals and can discourage oil oxidation. In turn, this help to prevent the development of blackheads, something we can all do without.
Protecting the skin from sun damage:
Music to our ears – vitamin E can be an effective protector of your skin against the sun. When coupled with vitamin C and applied under sunscreen, it can provide up to four times the protection of sunscreen than when it is used alone.
Soothing and hydrating:
Vitamin E application encourages longer-lasting moisture retention between skin cells than products without the vitamin in its ingredient list. With our skin exposed to a variety of environmental surrounds ranging from harsh UV rays to excessively air conditioned spaces, it is also ideal for soothing skin to make it feel rejuvenated after irritation and exposure to harsh environments.
Can anyone use vitamin E?
For the majority, vitamin E’s benefits are abundant and incorporating it into your skin care routine can enhance its vitality and texture. However, some skin types should approach with caution rather than delving swiftly into use.
Those with hypersensitive, excessively oily or acne-prone skin are typically advised to avoid applying the product as – while uncommon – topical vitamin E can act as an allergen when interacting with the skin.
As with all new skin care, it is recommended you patch test products prior to applying on your face or large patches of skin. If you are still concerned, speak with your GP or a dermatologist.
Products to use
An oil soluble vitamin – meaning it can be both derived through or as an oil – incorporating vitamin E into your daily regime can be done easily through oils and moisturisers. We’ve picked some of the best on the market to get you started on your foray into usage. Supple skin is now firmly on the horizon.

The news about China and the Lido City project in Indonesia is a good moment to discuss something I’ve been thinking about more and more as the Michael Cohen pay-offs story has unfolded. The Cohen story turns on hundreds of thousands of dollars payoffs and “retainers” at a time. His story is tangentially related to those loans from father-in-law Fima Schusterman to that other taxicab family, the Shtayners. That’s over $20 million. The truth, however, is that most of these are relatively small-scale transactions. The dealings of the Trump Organization, now under the notional management of Trump’s two adult sons, but still owned by the President, stretch into the hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars. But we know virtually nothing about what is happening in its financial transactions even as the opportunities for corruption and self-dealing enrichment exploded.
