AFRICA’s largest two economies are paying the price for poor economic growth prospects, as Nigeria’s stocks fell to their lowest level in almost three years as investors exited, and South Africa faces a similar fate this week.
Investors in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, are voting with their feet due to fading hopes that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government can revive an economy growing at its slowest pace this century.
While Buhari, a 72-year-old former general who came to power in May, has prioritised stamping out corruption in Africa’s biggest economy and oil producer, investors were unnerved by a delay of more than five months in forming a cabinet, which he swore in November 11.
There’s also concern that his support for the central bank’s currency-trading restrictions are choking businesses of the crucial dollars they need to pay foreign suppliers, with further pressure expected after the country’s central bank last week cut its interest rate for the first time in six years, taking already-nervy investors by surprise.
“The government has not come up with a definitive policy for the economy,” Pabina Yinkere, an analyst at Vetiva Capital Management Ltd. told financial data company Bloomberg by phone from Lagos. “The continued lack of clarity is affecting the stock market.”
South Africa, the next largest economy - but the richest - is this week holding its breath as analysts predict that the country’s credit rating could be lowered, triggering an outflow of foreign capital and increasing the cost of sovereign borrowing as investors anticipate low economic growth.
Analysts sampled by Bloomberg overwhelmingly expect ratings company Fitch to downgrade the country’s rating to BBB- its lowest investment grade, referred to as junk status by investors, while another, Standard & Poor’s is seen holding its already low grade stable, or in a long shot, lowering its outlook to negative.
A “junk” rating by investors means the country carries a higher risk of difficulties in meeting its debt obligations and as such attracts higher penalties. Both companies will publish their reviews about the country’s credit worthiness on Friday.
A downgrade on the sliding scale would add to the economic blues, the country in the third quarter having avoided a recession by growing an annualised 0.7%, having contracted 1.3% in the three previous months on the back of electricity shortages, low global demand and failing prices of metals stifled economic output.
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene cut the growth forecast for this year from 2% to 1.5% in his mid-term budget last month. Tax-revenue projections fell, forcing Nene to push out the timeline needed to lower the budget gap to 3% of gross domestic product.
Big economies often look to reduce their debt-to-GDP ratio without harming overall growth, including through reducing spending or raising taxes, but South Africa’s weakened economic growth has meant it has less space to play in as it struggles to produce enough to meet its international obligations such as paying interest.
“The rhetoric from Fitch has had a negative bias, in particular the fact that the government sort-of softened its stance on fiscal consolidation in the medium-term budget policy statement,” Carmen Nel, an economist at FirstRand Ltd.’s Rand Merchant Bank unit, told Bloomberg said by phone from Cape Town on November 25. “It is largely the combination of the fiscal position which is increasingly being compromised by the weak growth backdrop.”
The country has the continent’s most sophisticated economy, but investors already consider South Africa almost as risky as some junk-rated countries.
The cost of insuring against a default by the government for five years using sophisticated financial instruments that reduce risk exposure, called credit default swaps, is higher than for similarly rated Colombia, according to data from Bloomberg.
The South African contracts are also more expensive than Turkey’s and five basis points below that of Russia, which is tackling a recession, involvement in two conflicts and international sanctions linked to the fighting in Ukraine.
But as the two economies brace for a rough ride, other economies could benefit from their pain, as specialist African funds optimistically look to other destinations such as Egypt and Kenya.

Promoters of this year's Sheffield Adventure Film Festival (ShAFF), Band of Birds worked with highliner Sarah Rixham and Creative Sheffield to launch the weekend of events with Sarah walking a 60m long, 125ft high highline, rigged between the two towers of Sheffield Hallam University's Owen Building.
With the Sheffield Star reporting live from the highline, the number of people following the action as it was happened reached 30,000. BBC Radio Sheffield also followed the event live, with community reporter Andy Kershaw narrating on proceedings for the Breakfast Show which reaches 250,000 listeners per week.
You can hear Band of Birds Director, Matt Bird talking to Andy about moving to The Outdoor City here.
Following the release and distribution later that day of filmed footage produced by fellow Sum tenants Coldhouse Collective, by the end of the weekend the ShAFF highline had been viewed over 27,000 times on facebook and was featured across local, regional and national media including the Daily Mirror and the BBC homepage, where audiences spilled into six figures via the website and social media.
Sheffield Adventure Film Festival Director, Matt Heason said:
‘Band of Birds have turned a very exciting idea into a reality. The highline was an amazing spectacle by which audiences to ShAFF, for the first time ever, could witness the spirit of adventure both onscreen and in the flesh.’
High engagement continued throughout the weekend as 36,000 people from over 122 countries tuned in to live coverage of the Climbing Works International Festival. International competitors were a strong pull as well as a new event reporting format, developed by Band of Birds which included expert analysis from a newly assembled studio presenting team and live published insight reports and updates via social media.
Deputy Leader of Sheffield City Council said, Leigh Bramall:
‘It is testament to the amount of local talent that resides in Sheffield that we could make such a success of the first Outdoor City Weekender, and showcase Sheffield and all it has to offer in the way of outdoor adventure to the world.’
For anyone who missed The Outdoor City Weekender, the Climbing Works International Festival can be viewed on replay at www.thecwif.com and the highline film can be viewed via the Sheffield Adventure Film Festival facebook page.

The State Water Resources Control Board awarded a grant of $550,017 to the San Dieguito River Park for the creation of freshwater runoff treatment ponds as proposed in the Park Master Plan for the San Dieguito Lagoon. The project is located east of I-5, south of Via de la Valle, at the end of San Andres Drive.
This project includes the construction of a series of four connected water treatment ponds to clean a five-acre site that is impacted by poor quality runoff and construction of an 1,100 foot long segment of the multi-use Coast to Crest Trail through the treatment ponds on top of an existing maintenance service road. The ponds would be constructed predominantly through the natural drainage course by flowing over the weir in the first basin. The low, most polluted flows, would pass consecutively through the other three basins in series before returning to the natural drainage course. The existing telephone company maintenance road in this area would be raised above the water table, and flows coming from the north would be directed underneath. The project would also remove invasive species and replant with native vegetation; install water quality control devices including a trash rack, sediment trap, and oily wastewater separator; and install weirs, culverts and other piping necessary to make the ponds function hydrologically.
The subject area is inundated with substantial urban runoff from a 313 acre residential watershed that is funneled via a culvert under a shopping center into the project site. It has been roughly estimated that a residential watershed of that size in San Diego will produce 5,453,712 cubic feet of stormwater each year, and twice that amount, or 10,907,424 cubic feet of urban runoff, each year. Left untreated, the runoff would go directly into the newly restored wetlands, introducing sediment, oily water, chemicals and invasive species. This project will capture and treat that water before it is introduced into the estuarine system.
Partnering with San Diego Coastkeeper, Park Rangers and trained volunteers conduct monthly Water Quality Monitoring to make sure the Treatment Ponds are performing as expected.
Date Started: September 2007
Date Completed:September 2008
Partners: State Water Resources Control Board, KTU+A Landscape Architects, Marathon Construction

These days, when illness strikes, many of us feel like we’re on our own. Perhaps our healthcare coverage is inadequate. Or perhaps we avoid using the coverage we have for fear of establishing “pre-existing conditions.” Indeed, many of us are disenchanted with conventional medical care and try to find more gentle and natural ways of dealing with illness.How Alternatives From the Past Can Help Us TodayBy Amy Lansky, PhD
Although much attention has been given to the treatment of illnesses, the media has placed little attention on the needs of those who take care of very ill patients. If you are a caretaker, focus on these four basic rules:

He was forty-three and in poor health from previous plane crashes. He did not live to see his desire fulfilled, dying in action one month before the Allied invasion of Southern France in August No remains of either plane or body were found, and his countrymen felt The Little Prince was prophetic of his own death, recalling the moment when the little prince dies and disappears without a trace.
The fox says the only way you can really know something is to tame it, become friends with it.
In the epilogue, the author intimates that the spirit of the child is still alive in his star though we can see his body is gone. Her truth, too, is hidden: At this point the prince clearly his rose clearly through his heart, unique no matter how many other roses look like her.
But he teaches the prince a lesson to take back to his planet, and at the same time, he helps him understand his rose. The Little Prince comes to realize that it is the invisible essence bestowed on the Rose by his devotion that makes her unique.
The Little Prince delivers a passionate declamation about what is truly important: She is vain and demanding, and unaware of her own fragility, insisting that her thorns are enough to protect her.
To make something resembling a Gregorian chant shower upon them. It is like that. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. Do not come to see that. The Little Prince reflects that he should have judged her on her acts, not her words, and guessed the affection beyond her wiles.

In Memory of Tony Hawk Games and Infinity Blade
We’re back again with another XXL episode of the podcast that runs on forever because so much stuff is happening lately with everyone cramming in all their big game releases and updates before the iTunes freeze on the 23rd. We dive into all that, along with some weird drama and how surprised we are that the Brawl Stars launch took so long. From there, we shift gears into talking about the unbelievable bummer it is that Epic pulled all the Infinity Blade games which segued nicely into discussing the equally unbelievable bummer that is Tony Hawk’s Skate Jam. As we pull things into the station for the week we gush over Crossgrams, a puzzle game that basically everyone should be playing.

Nobody will guess how easy to prep this really is. Add it to your menu today.
Leah and Renee have been serving up this hack all summer long, and, as a result, sharing this recipe, which isn’t even a recipe, with all those who subsequently asked for the recipe. It’s that good. It’s the type that you dream of on a Wednesday, waiting for that moment on Friday night when the sourdough is hot and the week stops, as you all gather around the Shabbos table to reconnect and eat.
This is the dish we have been obsessing over all summer long and you will too. Best part? You don’t need to think too much. You can add it to your menu right now. There’s no prep, really. Just have the ingredients handy. At all times. This is also the perfect thing to whip out when guests come by and you need to stretch a meal. Or impress someone.
Our obsession with eggplant carpaccio began when many high end restaurants started showing it on their menus. We created our version, right here. Then we met Shiffy, who introduced her spin, right here.
That’s when Leah Shapira discovered roasted eggplant IN A JAR that tasted just as good (if not better) as the real thing. This new hack was born. Nobody looked back. We just looked at our plates for more.
Renee took Leah’s version and decided to complicate things (she tends to do that) and added the Red Onion Herb Mixture from Dinner Done to the mix. You don’t need to do that. But if you want, there’s a recipe below.
So here is what you actually need: A jar of grilled eggplant, a tub of store-bought babganush, Montreal steak seasoning, shelled pistachios, silan date syrup and techina. Pomegranate seeds and parsley leaves are optional.
Choose a nice, large, flat plate,
and layer a thin coat of roasted eggplant throughout the entire surface.
We prefer the eggplant at room temperature or even warm.
Top with a thin layer of baba ganoush.
We like to add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to the baba ganoush to make it more vibrant.
Drizzle with silan (use the one that comes in a squeeze bottle).
Sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning
and crushed pistachios. Go crazy and decorate with parsley and pomegranate seeds. If you want, dollop with the Red Onion Herb Mixture (recipe below), and take it over the top.
- A jar of grilled eggplant (use Galil, Bnei Darom or Sera brand) (We prefer the eggplant at room temperature or even warm)
- A tub of store-bought babganush (We like to add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to the baba ganoush to make it more vibrant)
- Montreal steak seasoning
- Shelled pistachios
- Silan date syrup for drizzling (use the one that comes in a squeeze bottle)
- Techina, if you want, for drizzling
- (Optional) Pomegranate seeds
- (Optional) Parsley leaves
- Layer a thin coat of roasted eggplant throughout the entire surface of a large, flat plate.
- Top with a thin layer of baba ganoush.
- Drizzle with silan
- Sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning and crushed pistachios.
- Go crazy and decorate with parsley and pomegranate seeds.
- If you want, dollop with the Red Onion Herb Mixture and take it over the top.
- 1 bunch parsley (1.13-oz container), large stems removed, chopped
- 1⁄2 large red onion, very finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1⁄2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients.

Tigers win the T20I series for the very first time against Australia
Bangladesh has won the T20I series for the very first time against Australia.
It took a lot of effort from the BCB to bring Australia and play a bilateral series during this Covid pandemic. But it was absolutely worth it.
Bangladesh won the third T20I by 10 runs and sealed their first-ever bilateral series against mighty Australia.
Bangladesh are 3-0 up in the 5-match T20I series.
Batting first Bangladesh scored 127/9 from their 20 overs. Nathan Ellis became the first-ever cricketer to bag a hattrick on T20I debut.
Rest of the job was done by the bowlers who did brilliantly to restrict Australia to 117/4.
Australia needed 22 runs to win from the last over but Mahedi defended.
Shoriful bagged a brace but Mustafiz’s 4-over spell was absolutely game-changing.
Both the teams will face each other tomorrow again.

The NPD Group, which also tracks the monthly video game industry sales data in North America, has released a report about the habits of mobile phone users as regards to games on the platform. The findings indicate that mobile phone gaming sessions tend to be quite short, and that mobile gamers tend to buy single game downloads rather than stick to game subscription plans.
Currently, about 27 percent of those who own phones capable of playing games use them for such, up from 20 percent in 2004. 60 percent of the players are between 13 and 17, a much lower figure than the general median age for video games at large.
The average mobile gaming session, according to the report, is 11 minutes long, and the primary motivation for playing games on phones is "to kill time or alleviate boredom," meaning mobile gaming is not quite yet a destination.
The report finds that the main barrier to more widespread acceptance of mobile games is the price issue, and that consumers shy away from paying too high a price per game or to maintain subscriptions for multiple games. Many players stick with the free or preloaded titles on the phone, since the games are primarily used as timewasters.
Those who do spend money on the titles pay an average of 57 percent more on handsets, spend 22 percent more per month on wireless bills, and use 48 percent more wireless minutes.
"In this time of rapid growth, and with the industry in such a formative stage," said study administrator Clint Wheelock, "it's especially important for wireless operators and game publishers to understand the mindsets of mobile gamers, in order to best position themselves for long-term success."

Compass Acupuncture is a place where caring can be found along every step of your journey with us. It is a place to aspire to a better you, and be inspired and supported when the journey gets difficult, as often occurs when we earnestly travel towards health. It is a place to relax, enjoy, think, reflect, and begin to take the steps towards feeling not just better, but good.
East Asian Medical Principles
Compass Acupuncture is founded on the principles of East Asian medicine, a medicine that is based on thousands of years of careful and thoughtful observational practice. It is a holistic approach of treating the whole person, rather than the main complaint. It is about getting to the root of the problem, and finding the path towards health that takes into account where you are now and you would like to be. East Asian medicine not only looks at the whole person, but involves a partnership between you and your practitioner.
We understand that there is a powerful connection between our bodies and our emotions. It is why emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety can cause physical pain, and conversely, why physical trauma can result in one’s emotions being affected. Similarly, there is an equally strong connection between our bodies and the environment in which we live. Too much or sudden exposure to wind, cold, heat, dryness, or damp can result in illness. Finally, our lifestyle choices can also influence our health. Diet, exercise, medication, and breathing can all factor into how we feel. At Compass Acupuncture we will meet you where you are and work with you in assisting you to find your way to the pinnacle of health.

On August 2, Do Cong Duong died at a hospital in Vietnam’s coastal Nghe An region, where he was serving an eight-year sentence at the province’s Detention Centre No. 6. The Prison Administrator has since rejected Duong’s family’s request to bring his body home and instead conducted a local funeral.
Duong developed various illnesses throughout his imprisonment, including heart disease, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. His family first noted his decline in health in April 2018, petitioning the prison superintendent for medical assistance which was continually refused.
When Duong finally received medical treatment at a hospital in Thanh Choung district, he was too ill to recover.
Duong was originally arrested in January 2018 after he recorded a forced eviction in Bac Ninh, his home province. A land rights activist who often live streamed video reports on the Tieng Dan TV Facebook page, Duong was charged with ‘disturbing public order’ and ‘abusing democratic freedoms’.
A court originally sentenced him to 48 months in prison, the harshest sentence available under Article 331 of Vietnam’s 2015 penal code. Following two further trials and a successful appeal, Duong was sentenced to a total of eight years.
Following Doung’s death, an open letter from families of political prisoners demanded proper access to medical treatment and called for the human rights of prisoners to be upheld. Duong is the second political prisoner to die at Nghe An’s Detention Centre No. 6 since his imprisonment.
In December 2019, Dao Quang Thuc died while he served a 13-year sentence on charges of ‘subversion’. While officials claim he died of a stroke, the family said his body was never released from the autopsy. Like Duong, Thuc’s body was not returned to his home, and he was buried in the prison’s cemetery.
Jailed journalists, activists and political prisoners in Vietnam can face harsh conditions in jail, including cramped, humid cells and a lack of proper medical care. In March 2019, the United Nations Human Rights Committee published three recommendations to Vietnamese authorities concerning the death penalty, freedom of speech, and the treatment of human rights activists.
The IFJ said:“The inhuman treatment and denial of basic care for journalists and media workers in detention is a grave violation of human rights. The IFJ strongly condemns the deplorable death of Do Cong Duong in custody and calls on the Vietnamese authorities to immediately release all journalists in prison. Swift international action must be taken to ensure that other journalists jailed in Vietnam are able to survive their sentences.”

The country is targeting 24 million tonnes of carbon credits by 2030, reaffirming commitment to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
At the second joint meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of Senior Officials and Experts for North Africa and West Africa in Accra, Dr. John Ampontuah Kumah, Deputy Minister of Finance, shared the nation’s ambitious commitment, saying: “The country is poised to have approximately 24 million tonnes of carbon credits available for transactions on the compliance market by 2030”.
The theme of the joint meeting, ‘Investing in Energy Transition, Food Security, and Regional Value Chains for Sustainable Development in North and West Africa Sub-regions’, highlights the pressing challenges facing the two sub-regions, including food security, energy transition and the development of regional value chains, which have profound implications for their well-being and sustainable development.
Ghana became the second country in Africa after Mozambique to receive payments from a World Bank trust fund for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, commonly known as REDD+. The World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) paid Ghana US$4.86million for reducing 972,456 tonnes of carbon emissions for the first monitoring period under the programme (June to December 2019).
This payment is the first of four under the country’s Emission Reductions Payment Agreement (ERPA) with the World Bank to demonstrate potential for leveraging results-based payments for carbon credits. Subject to showing results from actions taken to reduce deforestation, Ghana is eligible to receive up to US$50million for 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions reduced by the end of 2024.
These actions are within a six-million-hectare stretch of the West Africa Guinean Forest, where biodiversity and forests are under pressure from cocoa farming and unsustainable harvesting and small-scale mining. Ghana is one of 15 countries that have signed the ERPAs with the World Bank.
Dr. Kumah emphasised the urgent need to address these challenges, particularly in the context of over 20 million people, including at least 10 million children, facing severe food shortages in Africa as of 2022. Rising debt levels and an increasing frequency and severity of climate shocks have hindered the ability to invest in long-term climate-resilient solutions.
Despite the complex and challenging global landscape, Dr. Kumah expressed optimism. Using Ghana as an example, he highlighted the nation’s improved fiscal situation, successful reviews with the IMF, and progress toward macro stability and debt sustainability.
He said the focus now lies in securing an economic turnaround underpinned by robust institutions and an active private sector, a model that he believes can be emulated on a continental scale.
The deputy minister stressed the importance of promoting regional value chains in West Africa’s manufacturing sector, which accounts for less than 10 percent of GDP. With the African Continental Free Trade Area in play, enhancing competitiveness and building resilience to global shocks are critical.
Agricultural value chains, according to Kumah, hold the potential to transform the economic landscape of North and West Africa, addressing food insecurity, creating trading opportunities, and generating quality employment for youthful populations. He emphasised the need to scale private-sector-led initiatives for increased efficiency and productivity improvements across the continent.
Dr. Kumah turned his attention to energy poverty, acknowledging its significant hindrance to economic development and trade in Africa. He revealed that nearly half of sub-Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, with a significant gap in rural areas. Ghana’s commitment to sustainable development and addressing climate change through the adoption of the National Energy Transition Framework was highlighted.
The deputy minister reiterated Ghana’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change, underscoring their dedication to green businesses and green jobs. He emphasised that these not only benefit the environment, but also offer enhanced financial and social returns compared to traditional ‘business-as-usual’ investments.

Bush's Mideast Charade By William Safire
To read the headlines, you would think a major rift was growing between the U.S. and its only dependable ally in the Middle East.
Our State Department "demands" that Israel end its forays into West Bank terrorist centers and promise never to respond punitively again. Israel "rebuffs" this angry order and "defies" the U.S. spokesman. Then Colin Powell brushes aside President Bush's cautious "as quickly as possible" and escalates the call for withdrawal to "immediate."
But the Bush administration knows full well that Israel cannot turn the other cheek when one of its cabinet ministers is assassinated. And it knows that at a moment when the U.S. is dispatching bombers and soldiers to kill the assassins of 6,000 of our citizens harbored by the Taliban in Afghanistan, it is the height of hypocrisy to demand that our ally refrain from hunting down killers harbored by the P.L.O.
Bush's advisers are also well aware that to insist publicly that Ariel Sharon do as we say, not as we do, begs for a "rebuff." Even Israel's dovish former foreign minister sees through it: "Imagine now that Sharon says, `Well, all right, I withdraw,' " notes Shlomo Ben-Ami. "Then what will be the image of Israel in the Arab world? Its deterrent capability, its steadfastness would be seriously eroded."
If the U.S. order to withdraw is both patently hypocritical and certain to be rejected, why are Colin Powell and his spokesman sent out to beat up on the Israelis?
One answer is obvious: This is supposed to show the Arab "street" that the U.S. is not pro-Israel, that we are evenhanded brokers of Palestinian peace. Our message is that it's O.K. for Pakistanis, Egyptians and Saudis to be with us against the bin Laden terrorists in Afghanistan because the U.S. does not blame Arafat when suicide bombers kill Israeli teenagers.
Another answer is "coalition building." For example: Because Iran is angry at being used as the route for the Taliban's heroin exports, and because its clerics also despise Iraq's Saddam Hussein — then maybe if we publicly castigate Israel and privately condone Iran's support of Hezbollah terrorism, "moderate" ayatollahs will not oppose our terrorist hunt in Afghanistan.
The charade in Washington is accompanied by a wink toward supporters of Israel in the U.S.: this "demand" supposedly helps Sharon politically. By making it possible for him to strike a courageous pose of standing up to the U.S. pressure, we help Sharon solidify his hard right, cool the dissension on his soft left and increase his popularity among embattled Israelis in the center. At the same time, columnists of my ilk are sent word that — Powell's ostensible tilt toward Arafat to the contrary — the president's hawkish heart is still in the right place.
All this diplomacy by deflection is too clever by three-quarters. Just as corrupt Arab potentates try to protect themselves from the fury of their downtrodden subjects by fanning hatred of the U.S. and the West, we are trying, through our charade of selective antiterrorism, to deflect that hatred over to Israel exclusively. (Don't blame us, it goes — see how we're pressuring the Jews on your behalf?)
Such buck-passing won't work. With logic, followers of Osama bin Laden will say, "By killing thousands of Americans, we got the U.S. to put pressure on Israel. In the same way, by panicking Americans with the threat of germ warfare, we will force the infidels to abandon their Jewish ally. And then . . ."
The consequence of our misbegotten diplomacy of deflection would be intensified attacks on America. The way to discourage war on our homeland is to show no weakness, to demonstrate forcefully that atrocities committed here gain no victories in the Middle East or anywhere.
This year Arafat invited the terrorist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to move from Damascus to the West Bank. The P.F.L.P. proudly claims that its hit men murdered the Israeli cabinet minister, an act of war. Israel is obliged to go after his killers just as we are duty bound to go after the killers of Americans.
The troops will withdraw in a couple of days. But the proper response to our ally's self-defense is to understand Israel's lonely anguish and applaud its resolve. Such a principled expression of presidential steadfastness should be, in Secretary Powell's word, "immediate." (New York Times Oct 25)
Confronting Antisemitism: What Is to Be Done? By Ruth R. Wisse
Even more important than the actions to be taken by the American government in response to the attack of September 11, is understanding the nature of the undeclared enemy. Most wars carry the signature of their belligerents. The present attack was launched by enemies who deny their involvement and try to conceal their identity. Fighting such a war requires, above all, intelligencebut intelligence in every sense of the word: not only a better network of informers and operatives, but also a sounder grasp of the political nature of the adversary. All clues lead to the Middle East, which is also where our understanding would have to begin.
The apologists for the attack on America supply one overriding motive for Arab ragethey say America is being punished for its support of Israel, which is held responsible for the conflict in the Middle East. Human intelligence cannot take this claim at face value. How can Israel, which occupies one-sixth of one percent of the lands called Arab, be responsible for the political dissatisfaction of 21 Arab countries? How can the 13 million Jews in the world -- almost 5 million fewer than they were in 1939 -- be blamed for the problems of the 250 million Arabs, who have brotherly ties to one billion Muslims worldwide?
And yet there is a measure of truth to the Arab allegation that the Jews are responsible for their misery: their obsession with the Jews and with Israel indeed retards their progress and poisons their life. The original refusal of the Arab countries to accept the partition of Palestine as voted by the United Nations on November 29, 1947 became the cement of a politics of denial, rejection, and blame that has held together the Arab world, and exemplified its attitude toward the democratic West. The Arabs denied Jews their right to their ancestral homelanda right many times more obvious than, say, that of the Hashemite King to Jordan, and then blamed the Jews for denying the Palestinians their homeland. Arab governments sacrificed the Palestinian Arabs to a fate of refugees so that they could hold Israel responsible for their displacement and misery. The politics of blame is incompatible with any mature assumption of political responsibility, and the pursuit of such politics over the past 54 years has created the infrastructure for terrorism unleashed.
We have seen a version of this same political scenario before. Antisemitism was the common coin of Europe from the end of the 19th century to the end of World War II, reaching from France in the west, through Germany and Central Europe, to Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Hannah Arendt identified antisemitism as the common denominator of fascism and communism, but it also inspired many nationalist parties, until Hitler channeled its energy to consolidate the Third Reich. The use of the Jews as a political target was symptomatic of a fear of democracy in all its aspectsindividual rights, a competitive economy, and the freedoms of an open society. Because antisemitism was directed against the Jews, it didnt overly concern most other people. Some even thought that letting off steam against the Jews might alleviate frustration, or organize protest, or serve some other positive aim. But blaming the Jews was only a symptom of the refusal to adapt to enlightenment and emancipation. The relative ease and success in attacking the Jews turned antisemitism into the most popular ideology of modern Europe.
Of all the European political ideologies, antisemitism is the only one to have taken root in the Middle East. (Hitler succeeded in destroying the Jews of Europe, even though he failed in all his other ambitions.) Arab leaders rule autocratically, claiming to know what is best for their peoples, and to stay in power they must try to explain why they do not bring about the improvements that they promise. Whereas rulers could once control their populations without communicating directly to the masses, the modern world requires telling the people why they should accept the regime that is being imposed upon them. Israel, a tiny polity with a magnified image, is the answer to an autocrat's political predicament. Problems with public health? Israel is polluting the water supply. Homeless refugees? Israel usurps Arab lands. Restless youth? Israel's democracy is a satanic influence. The deflection of so much political dissatisfaction and so many real and escalating social problems into aggression against Israel eventually reaches fanatical proportions, fueling apocalyptic scenarios of destroying the Satan, and the protector of Satan, the United States.
But as Benjamin Netanyahu pointed out in his book on terrorism of 1995, the United States is the larger agency of change, the most powerful democracy in the world, and the real target for which Israel is but a practice range. There are those who believe that if the United States were less supportive of the state of Israel, the aggression of Arab and Muslim extremists would evaporate. Quite the contrary. Israel has been the front line of democracy's defense, and its perceived weakening quickens their ambition. It is highly probable that the daring attack on America was inspired by Israel's appeasement of terrorism in 1993, when it rewarded Arafat -- until then, the worlds leading terrorist -- by placing him in charge of the Palestine Authority. The terrorists calculated that if terror tactics could persuade Israelis to make such unheard-of concessions, then America will surely also lose its nerve if terror is brought within its shores.
If the Arabs cite Israel as the main cause of their extremism, it means that their extremism can only be halted once they change their attitude to Israel. The present threat will not diminish until the Arab world begins to adapt to the process of democratization that the West has been undergoing for a few hundred years. The first requirement of such adaptation is self-accountability, and the essential sign of such self-accountability will be the ability to accept the reality of a Jewish state. The fuel of antisemitism is more explosive even than the jet fuel that brought down the World Trade Center. The longer it is accommodated or encouraged, the greater the danger to the worlds leading democracy. Once we understand that, we will better know what is to be done -- and what isn't. The example of Europe in the 1930s is a blueprint of what happens when antisemitism is ignored. (Harvard Crimson Sept 24)

C(ertainly) N(ot) N(ews) = CNN By Naomi Ragen
I think we really need to find a new name for CNN, or reinterpret its present acronym. Ever since it’s sister company AOL.Com got a 20 billion dollar investment by Sheik Alaweed, it’s needed one badly. Remember the Sheik? He was the one in the red kafir looking like a little gnome who toured Ground Zero with Mayor Giuliani, and then offered 10 million dollars to the city, suggesting that if the U.S. corrected its terrible policy against the Palestinians it might not deserve another attack ( of course he didn’t say that…not exactly…) Remember what Giuliani told him in the name of all New Yorkers, all Americans, and all peace-loving people about what he could do with his tainted Saudi dollars? I think we need to tell CNN what they can do with their biased, pro-terror “news” reports, and their factually-challenged reporters.
Well, I’ve certainly made my views about CNN’s Mideast reporting clear over the last few months. I’ve been quiet recently, not because CNN reporting has improved, but because- especially here in our part of the world- under Mike Hanna’s able leadership of the Jerusalem Bureau, it has become so boringly predictable. Take yesterday. The reports of Palestinian casualties inflated by uncorroborated Palestinian reports, dutifully reported by CNN. The true figures were five dead, all of them gun-toting Palestinians actively resisting the Israeli raid on the Palestinian village sheltering the murders of Minister Rechavam Zeevi. Israeli forces were led to the village by two captured members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who sang like the yellow canaries they are. Israelis prevented Palestinian ambulances from coming through? Well, everyone here has seen the numerous uses of such ambulances to carry explosives through army lines. CNN might have mentioned that. Even if this time they were real ambulances, who’s to blame for their well deserved reputation?
It’s all so transparent.
And then Mike Hanna, his beefy red face sweating from the anguish of Israeli incursions into the peaceful little bucolic olive-grove lined Palestinian village (CNN always talks about olive trees… BBC always brings in Manger Square in Bethlehem, as in “ Palestinian activists brought their dead to Manger Square in Bethlehem”…Never mind that they’re Muslims and have been using the Church of the Nativity as a barricade from which to shoot into children’s bedrooms in Gilo…) his righteous, apartheid-honed conscience urging him on, his mellifluous reporter’s voice heavy with emotion, he answers a question about the parallel between American raids on Afghanistan, and Israeli raids on Palestinian terrorists, by leaving out the word terrorists. Israeli attacks on Palestinians obviously can’t be compared to American raids on Afghani terrorist supporters of Bin Laden.
Not if that’s the way you phrase it, Mike. No parallel there. You made sure of that, didn’t you?
It’s so utterly predictable. So utterly Mike Hanna. So utterly CNN. So utterly Sheik Alaweed. So utterly pure, unadulterated piles of …you get the picture.
What we need to do is hold a contest to find a better name for the new network that claims to be reporting the Strike Against Terror. Something that will make it clear exactly which side in this strike the network identifies with. Where they are getting their funding. And what they, and their “sister” network Al Jazeera, so liberally aired for all the West to see, hope to accomplish with their constant propaganda - their terrorist supplied pictures of bandaged children--in undermining Coalition efforts to protect innocent lives all over the world.
I also think we need to contact the FCC. Isn’t it against the law for a television network to be unduly influenced by a foreign power? Being part of a corporation that accepted a 20 billion dollar investment from a Saudi Prince, who’s made his sorry views public, should certainly be investigated. You lawyers out there, take a look at it?
Can we get the FCC to revoke CNN’s operating license? Suggest it? Campaign for it?

Ramadan-a-Ding-Dong: The fretting has already begun.
By Jonah Goldberg
We're about to enter the chapter of this story where Very Serious People fret about how bad it would be to continue our campaign of bombing Afghanistan forward into the Stone Age during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan (which refers to the time when Allah revealed the Koran to Mohammed, not to a David Mamet movie about a salesman who lives out of a Ramada hotel). "Authentic" Muslim spokespeople say it would be bad to bomb during Ramadan, and as sure as you can say "sensitivity training," guilty white folks will take them at their word.
Indeed, the fretting has already begun. Ibrahim Hooper, of the faux-moderate Council on American-Islamic Relations, says: "It's a period of heightened spirituality, and of course people's sensibilities are more acute at those times, so it could have consequences if it is still going on at that time." University of Richmond law professor Azizah al-Hibri explained to USA Today that "We need to keep in mind the sensitivities of the Muslim world. If [Bush] fights during Ramadan that will give Bin Laden one more tool to argue to the Muslim world that the United States is disrespectful of their religion."
First of all, let's just get the inconvenient facts out of the way. Muslims have been killing each other, and other people, during Ramadan for centuries. Mohammed himself opened a clay urn of whup-ass on tribes outside Mecca during Ramadan, in 624 AD. Iraqis and Iranians killed each other over Ramadan with great aplomb during their war. Anwar Sadat of Egypt launched the Yom Kippur war on Israel during Ramadan, with little respect to his own religion and even less for Israel's. Besides, as Tod Linberg of Policy Review points out, if we did stop bombing because of Ramadan, that would send the signal that we are waging war against Muslims - instead of against terrorists, as we keep insisting.
Now, of course, I know firsthand that religion can make everyone prickly. For example, just last week I made an innocuous statement about how it's a bit "irrational" for Catholics to avoid meat on Fridays or for Orthodox Jews to stick to every tenet of kosherism. I'm still getting e-mail from indignant Thomists and Talmudists telling me how ignorant or bigoted I am. I'll save the argument for a corrections column (though please remember, there's nothing pejorative to the word irrational), but suffice it to say some people are very quick to get very defensive about their religious practices and beliefs.
Which is why I think it would be really insensitive to murder the Pope.
Now, I'm not saying I'd like to kill the Holy Father. I can honestly say I love this Pope and I really, really like the Catholic Church. But if you're offended simply by glibness about murdering John Paul II alone, imagine how angry you'd be about someone who really wanted to do it.
Well, one such person is Abdul Hakim Murad, a colleague of 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi "Play With" Yousef. In 1995, Murad washed his hands in the kitchen sink of his Manila apartment, apparently forgetting this is a major "Don't" on the bomb-maker's "Dos and Don'ts" list. The bomb-making chemicals still in the sink mixed with water and started a big fire. When the Philippines's equivalent of the FBI investigated, they uncovered a plot to blow up 11 U.S. Airliners and destroy CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.
And, they discovered that al Qaeda operatives intended to murder the Pope when he visited Manila. They found street maps delineating the path of the Pope's entourage, and clothing matching that of papal aides. Murad revealed all of the details when the Filipino authorities teased him, calling him mean names like poopy-face and fart-breath. Okay, actually they tortured the stuffing out of the guy (but he really only gave it up when they threatened to extradite him to Israel, heh, heh).
Putting aside the unfriendliness required to blow up the airplanes and the CIA, killing the Pope is a really bad thing to do. As Eddie Murphy pointed out years ago, killing the Pope lets you skip the long lines and go straight to Hell.
More to the point, and I think I'm on safe ground when I say this: It is really, really insensitive to the religious sensibilities of Catholics. In fact — this is a stab in the dark, mind you - but I think it's just about the most offensive thing you can do to Catholics.
Now, I know that bin Laden and al Qaeda aren't truly representative of the more than 1 billion Muslims in the world. But that's not really the point. The point is that the people we are at war with - and there may be untold millions of them - couldn't pass a multicultural sensitivity-training course even if some fatwa said they'd get 72 virgins in this life for doing it. If they believed the West and Islam were in a holy war before September 11; if they thought the Pope was a legitimate military target; if they believed America was a crusader nation - it seems pretty unlikely we can change their minds now, when we're dropping bombs on Afghanistan.
Indeed, it seems like the very people who were supposed to help us win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world are against us. For example, yesterday's New York Times contained a fascinating piece on Sheik Muhammad Gemeaha. Gemeaha was the Imam of the 96th Street Mosque in New York City, and a poster-child for the sort of "moderate Muslims" the Times insists are more representative of Islam. Just days after September 11, the Egyptian-born holy man gave an interview to an Arab newspaper claiming that the U.S. government was persecuting Muslims, that Jewish doctors in New York were poisoning Muslim children, and that everyone knows Jews were responsible for the attack on the World Trade Center (you can find most of the interview at the indispensable Middle East Research Institute website). Gemeaha then headed back to Egypt. The Times seems baffled that a fellow Brie-eater could have been such a bigot.
Whether such bigotry is a natural outgrowth of Islam or an outgrowth of the various stagnant cultures of the Middle East is a debate for another day (though nobody seems to agree with my emphasis on culture). But either way, it's worth noting that the Middle East, and the Muslim world generally, are home to the greatest feelings of religious intolerance in the world. Anti-Semitism is the official position of numerous Arab governments and, as Princeton historian Bernard Lewis has noted, the Arab world is the only place where virulent Nazi views are still in popular currency. (It's always been that way. When the Israelis caught Adolf Eichmann, the leading Saudi Arabian newspaper read: "Arrest of Eichmann, who had the honor of killing six million Jews.") Today, it is the official position of the Syrian government that Jews blew up the World Trade Center, and nobody in the Middle East will even bother to disagree. And yet we're supposed to believe that these people are the victims of religious intolerance.
Organized Muslim groups in this country and the elites of various Muslim dictatorships abroad take advantage of America's myopia about such things. These groups claim it's bigoted to suggest that Arab or Muslim societies are even remotely bigoted. It reminds me of Al Gore's debate strategy, where he would call his opponents vicious, mean-spirited, horrible people who resorted to "negative attacks." Then, once his opponent responded by saying, "That's not true," Gore would respond with: "See, another negative attack! He's calling me a liar! That proves it!"
I can sing the praises of American pluralism all day. But the one time it falls apart is when it becomes a one-way street. It only makes sense to respect other religions when the adherents of that religion respect you back. Otherwise, taking the high road only gets you run over. Any group of people willing to celebrate Nazism or to murder the Pope, doesn't have enough sensitivity to deserve any in return. (National Review Oct 24)
Selling the Rope By Daniel Doron
'Greedy capitalists will sell us the rope by which we will hang them," Lenin gloated. But not even Lenin could imagine that a capitalist West would be stupid enough to provide the hangman's ropes gratis (US labs supplied anthrax to Iraq!) and even assist its enemies to perfect their gallows with loans and information.
This is, however, what a morally, and hence politically confused West kept doing. It found it hard to recognize that even more than aggressive communism, fundamentalist Islam is an implacable enemy. It will not be mollified by gestures of goodwill or by tolerance of its fanatic belligerency. Only containment by overwhelming force can enable the West to successfully resist its deadly challenges.
True, the West, namely America, does face a difficult dilemma: It must fight a very popular Islamic fundamentalism without making it seem like a Christian-Muslim war. It is feared that a "clash of civilizations" may further inflame the Muslim "street" and threaten several regimes, especially Arab ones controlling vital oil resources. Their disintegration may have grave strategic and economic repercussions, and cause severe losses to powerful business interests.
The danger is, of course, real, but US policymakers seem confused how to best tackle it. So they repeat policies that make the West vulnerable by seeming culpable and weak. They must have imagined, for example, that they could mitigate extremist anti-US passions - which a Saudi-and-Pakistani-created Taliban has inflamed - by suddenly professing friendship and generosity toward the Afghan people; or that by forcing Israel to make dangerous concessions to Arab terrorism, peace would come to the Middle East, and enable America to hide from Muslim rage behind its putative "coalition."
But as Prof. Bernard Lewis pointed out in his brilliant 1990 essay "The Roots of Muslim Rage," it "goes beyond hostility to specific interests or actions or policies or even countries and becomes a rejection of Western civilization as such, not only what it does but what it is, and the principles and values that it practices and professes." America, the Big Satan, is conceived "as innately evil, and those who promote or accept [its values] as the enemies of God," that must be destroyed.
Muslim rage has religious, social, political, historic and economic roots far deeper than the Arab-Israeli conflict. The American pretense to build a make-believe coalition based on client Muslim regimes that many, perhaps most, Muslims consider apostate, and irredeemably repressive and corrupt, only further inflames Muslim rage, as everybody, except for the State Department, seems able to see.
A US campaign against fundamentalist terrorism would probably be informally facilitated by Saudi Arabia and Egypt simply because it is directed first and foremost against them. But, having learned from the Iraqi imbroglio that the US might lack the willpower to really uproot terrorism and win a conclusive victory, they offer only lukewarm and conditional support that does little to shield America from Muslim rage. In addition, they channel the rage their "coalition" with America provokes against Israel. They also hedge their bets by paying the terrorists off and by winking at the assistance they are given by their nationals and even by elements in their intelligence community.
Besides demonstrating through its forgiving attitude toward Palestinian, Syrian, and Iranian terrorism that its war against terrorism may not be as determined as it protests, the US also signals that in difficult circumstances it may not protect the vital interests of even its closest allies.
How else could the Arabs interpret the fact that until September 11, the US passively suffered repeated terrorist outrages, failing even to protect its own territory from obvious threats; or that after, the mighty US is too timid or apprehensive to demand that Iran stop sponsoring international terrorism and supporting operations by the Lebanese and Saudi Hizbullah, that murdered so many Americans and brazenly continue attacking American allies and interests.
In spite of President Bush's repeated assurances that the war against terrorism will be waged against any state that harbors and assists terrorists, an unreformed terrorist Syria was invited to join the anti-terrorist US coalition, even honored with a seat on the UN Security Council (with US acquiescence). Meanwhile, Israel is repeatedly castigated for defending itself against Palestinian terrorism, and master terrorist Yasser Arafat is rewarded with a promise of a Palestinian independent state, which he will promptly turn into another irredentist rogue state.
"Power is first and foremost the basis of “legitimacy in the Muslim world” [so] our Muslim allies are primarily concerned with only one thingÉ will we be victorious?" Reuel Gerecht, a former CIA Middle East expert judiciously observed.
But the prospects for a decisive US victory diminish the longer it follows the wrongheaded advice of those who shaped failed US policies toward Iraq and the Palestinians. (Jerusalem Post Oct 25)
Arafat must Drop Terror or Fall Jerusalem Post Editorial
Israel and the United States have both embarked on military campaigns, each country against the most immediate terrorist threat it faces. Though Foreign Minister Shimon Peres does not seem to like the analogy, the parallels between the Taliban and Yasser Arafat's regime are real.
Peres chided Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for making the analogy between Arafat and the Taliban, asking, "What does he want to do, start bombing the Palestinian cities the way the Americans are bombing Afghanistan?" This formulation is insulting to both the US and Israel, because it sounds like the US is bombing Afghan cities, and that Israel might contemplate such a step. Actually, the US is targeting, in as pinpoint a way as possible, the Taliban's military assets and bin Laden's training camps. Israeli closures unfortunately have a harsh affect on all Palestinians, but Israel has attempted to use lethal force very precisely, against specific targets and even specific terrorists.
If there is a strategic similarity to the US and Israeli positions, it is that both countries have been trying to force regimes to break with terror, while preserving the possibility of friendship with people suffering under those regimes.
The US is pursuing its dual policy with almost equal public emphasis on both parts. Once Afghanistan's air defenses were suppressed, among the first American priorities was to drop aid packages to the Afghan people. It is certainly not fair to say that the US is "bombing Afghanistan," when it is clear that the US is concentrating on military assets and terrorist camps, and going to considerable lengths to avoid civilian casualties.
The goal of the American military campaign is to replace the Taliban regime, but only because that regime refused to eject the terrorist network that it is harboring. Though the purpose of the US campaign is not really freedom for the Afghan people, if the US is successful, Afghans will have an opportunity to dig themselves out of their dark age.
Israel is in a very similar position with respect to Arafat's regime.
Israel has no desire or interest to be in military conflict with the Palestinians, but has been forced down this road to defend itself against terrorism. Israel also has no quarrel with the Palestinian people, assuming they are willing to build their state peacefully alongside Israel. But Israel, like the US, is now in a fight with a terrorist-supporting regime that must give up terrorism or fall.
Though Israel, like the US, is acting primarily in self-defense and not in an altruistic effort to help another people out of its oppression and suffering, the byproduct of the Israeli effort could be a better government for the Palestinian people.
Peres also frequently argues that the alternative to Arafat is Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which would hardly be an improvement. It is not at all clear, however, that this is the case. The Palestinians could be taken over by their own bin Ladens, but they know that the result would be a terrible blow to the Palestinian cause. It would be ironic if, following September 11, the Palestinians would adopt a regime that not only harbors terrorists but is run by the worst of them.
It is certainly a possibility, and perhaps even likely, that if Arafat's regime were defeated because it would not reject terrorism, that those who have argued that Arafat made a strategic error would come to the fore.
In any case, Israel's message to the Palestinians is similar to the American message to the Afghans: We wish, for your sake and ours, that you had a better government, but we have no choice but to fight any government of yours that attacks us or harbors terrorists who do.
With a degree of defeatism that is surprising in a leader who prides himself on vision, Peres sees only why Israel cannot make its case in the world. "I told Arik [Sharon]: you say there is no such thing as good terrorism and bad terrorism," Peres said in a televised interview. "That is true, but by the same token there is no such thing as good occupation and bad occupation. No one in the world will be prepared to accept the continued occupation of the territories." In other words, there is no parallel with Afghanistan, Peres argues, because America is not occupying Afghanistan, but in the world's eyes we are occupying Palestine. But it is the job of the foreign minister to explain the truth: Israel has been trying desperately to leave territories to which it also has legitimate claims, and has been prevented from doing so by the lack of a true partner for peace.
In other words, Israel has the same lack of interest in ruling over Palestinians that America has in ruling over Afghanistan. By the same token, both Israel and the US have an active interest in new or changed regimes that have abandoned terror and, incidentally, are better for the people they govern.

With Hudson’s help, I installed two taps on my keezer so I can sample beers while they’re carbonating and aging. They’re Perlick 525SS faucets and I used White Labs vials filled with Crystal 80 grain for handles.
Starting the Oregon vs Stanford game with a delicious Great Divide 18th Anniversary Wood-Aged DIPA by the fireplace after brewing beer outside in the rain. Good day.
Oregon lost for the first time this year. Crikey. Now having a beer that is best after July 23, 2013, but fantastic today:
CHUGfest: Capitol Hill Urban-brewer’s Guild beer festival. I never thought I’d be in a guild.

2010 – National 3rd Place Award Winner
Derek Krouch, Minnesota.
Is the Pen Mightier than the Sword?
In regards to the question “Is the Pen Mightier than the Sword?”, I feel that the exact opposite in this disposition. This question has been debated back and forth, but from recent ongoing in society, it has pushed me towards the sword. Although the pen may be able to resolve some issues created by the sword, ultimately; I feel that violence creates a more resounding impact that the pen.
In the past, many have used violence as a tactic to create fear, the ultimate power of those that want to create an impact, whether positive or negative. between 1975-1979, Pol Pot of the Khmer Rouge managed to gain power and kill millions of innocent Cambodians in his new regime of power. by creating this government that managed to create the second worst genocide in history, this lesser known mass killings has affected many people of the world, especially descendants of the survivors of this mass genocide. I feel that the violence that was created by the Khmer Rouge will never be forgotten’ the resounding effect that Pol Pot and his regime was able to create will forever live in the hearts of millions upon millions of people across the world as a dark chapter in humanity.
In recent years, violence has also been a major contributor to create a resounding impact on society. Whenever one is to turn on the news in daily life, the majority of the things seen are violence related. Conflicts across the world, murders, acts of terrorism; these few examples are just a small glimpse of the majority of mainstream news that make it into the living rooms of every American every night. In recent memory, the Word Trade Center attacks still hold a gripping effect on billions across the world. By looking at the acts from any standpoint, they were vulgar and grotesque. The violent acts of Al-Qaeda that morning caused thousands of Americans to lose their lives and it will be and event forever remembered. The violent acts will never be forgotten; they will be a depressing chapter in the minds of billions in society who learned of the bitter acts.
After examining the question “Is the pen Mightier than the Sword?”, one can see that I feel that the sword is much mightier than the pen. Although the pen can be used to heal, the sword creates effects that can never be erased. In conclusion, the sword causes irreversible damages that never can be taken back. The despair that it brings causes lasting impacts that never can be annulled.

We managed to catch up with Tye Sheridan - star of Mud (review HERE) which is in cinemas this weekend - to have a quick chat about what it was like to work on this movie. Between his busy school schedule and his increasing work load (you may also remember him from Terence Malick's Tree Of Life, and he's next up in Nicolas Cage starrer Joe), the young star doesn’t have much in the way of free time. But we can expect to see a lot more of him over the next few years.
Entertainment.ie: What was it about Mud, and the character of Ellis, that attracted you to the project?
* When I read the script, I immediately fell in love with it! I fell in love with Ellis. He's such a young, vulnerable romantic, which is why I was drawn to him. Another reason I wanted to take this role was that Ellis goes through SO much in this movie. There's so much emotion flowing around. I knew this would be a great chance for me, as an actor, to prove what I can do and prove my versatility. Ellis goes from curiosity and hope, to heartbreak and fury. I feel like it was a risky role to take but I knew that if I performed it well, it would be a great role for me.
Entertainment.ie: Ellis and his best-friend Neckbone have a very believable best-friend relationship in the movie. Did you and co-star Jacob Lofland get much time before shooting to work on that?
* Jacob and I had rehearsed for two weeks before we started shooting. I remember us going to the river and taking boating lessons. We also went bowling one day. Jacob is a really easy person to work with.
Entertainment.ie: Michael Shannon previously worked with Mud director Jeff Nichols on Take Shelter. Did he give you any advice on set?
* Although I only worked with him for a day, I remember Mike being a super cool, calm and collected guy. I think it's my job as a young actor to watch adult actors and take tips on the way they work.
Entertainment.ie: How is it working with superstars like Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey?
* I don't get "star struck". I think it's very important to remember when you're working with these actors that they're only human like you are.
Entertainment.ie: Did you have a particularly favourite day or scene to shoot over the course of making Mud?
* When I was shooting "Mud", every day was my favourite! I had so much fun on this film and loved working with all the cast and crew! It was a great experience.
Entertainment.ie: Having worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood already, are there any other actors or directors you’d love to work with?
* There's not anyone in particular I'd like to work with. I just want to continue doing work that I have a passion for.
