Pretty Little Black Eyed Susie
Hit number 2: 1st May 1953
Kept of the top by: I Believe by Frankie Laine Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5pkyXdB6Q0tzsjYgv2NjvV
After six months of what I imagine will be a notably long run (Time will tell) we finally have another song peak at number two and it's only bloody Mitchell again!
‘I love my pipe, I love tomaters
I love candied sweet pertaters’
Read that line again.
How does it grab you? Is it charming or unbearably twee?
I’m not keen. I think it’s meant to communicate the care free naïveté of new love, except, it’s from the perspective of a man who has clearly lived a life, who used to change his girl with every season.
So it makes it just seem a bit “Aw shucks!” A bit hokey.
And, I suppose, why not? It’s a lighthearted bit of fluff this song. It’s not a particularly enjoyable bit of nonsense though. It suits Mitchell’s voice more than our previous entry but I’d struggle to say it’s as good a song as ‘Feet Up’ which, if nothing else, has been lodged somewhere in my head for a couple of weeks.
It’s a kids song in style, less a musical number, it suits, more than anything else, a cartoon. The disconnect comes from the adult subject matter, again with Mitchell it’s broadly a song about his life being rescued from the wrong track by the love of a good woman.
I wish it was more enjoyable, Mitchell has a voice with a lot of texture. I’m sure they weren’t but these vocals do seem a bit rushed. It comes across as a lazy effort.
And again, as with ‘feet up’ we have an obvious second meaning. Not sexual this time, instead, constantly referring to a girl with black eyes leads us to thoughts of domestic violence. Now, this was absolutely not the intent of the song but it’s not really a thought I want put repeatedly into my head when listening to a song like this.
It hasn’t dated well but it’s also hard to see that it would have been exciting to hear at the time.
Music for the kids can’t come soon enough.

Popular filmmaker & author Darren Wilson joins his father, artist Gary Wilson, in a 7-part series on Creativity. Covering topics as wide ranging as creativity in the Bible, finding your style, overcoming fear, the process of destiny, and various theories of creativity, Darren and Gary bring not only their own experiences creating films and fine art, but also over 50 years of teaching on creativity to Universities and churches around the world. This is a teaching series that doesn’t just give you a theoretical idea of creativity, but actually provides you with tools and techniques to pull out the full creative potential that God has placed in your life.
We first need to understand God’s creative nature and how we fit into that understanding based on the Bible. We then look at the history of the church and its often rocky relationship with creativity and the arts.

San Francisco is setting the president that the law will be followed and that breaking it will carry stiff penalties. Under normal circumstances that would be the right and just thing to do, but in this situation, it depends on which law you are referring to – federal law, or sanctuary city laws.
A man from El Salvador, who is in the United States illegally, sued San Francisco because the police turned him over to immigration authorities which was in violation of their sanctuary city law.
Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno, 33, is set to be awarded $190,000 in a settlement agreement with the city attorney’s office, said Saira Hussain, a staff attorney at the Asian Law Caucus who represented Zarceno. The agreement must be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
“It’s really important for San Francisco to remain a sanctuary city not in name only but also in practice,” Hussain told The San Francisco Examiner. “Our hope is that the department is going to look into this further and really examine the way that the department can do more.”
Fox News reports that the construction worker said he went to police in December 2015 after getting a call from authorities that his stolen car had been found. Instead of helping him, officers detained him and called immigration authorities.
He was taken into custody by federal authorities outside the police station and was in jail for two months and has been fighting his deportation since his release.
“What happened to me was very unfair and it was an injustice,” Figueroa-Zerceno said. “I went into the police station to seek help and they didn’t tell me what was happening and they arrested me and treated me badly.”
City law prohibits law enforcement officers from cooperating with federal immigration officials except when violent criminals are involved.
Part of the law’s purpose was to encourage immigrants to report crimes they may be afraid of disclosing because of fear that investigating officers would turn them over to immigration authorities.
San Francisco’s sanctuary law was thrust into the national debate on immigration after the July 2015 slaying of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle.
The man charged with the murder of Kate Steinle, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, had been released by San Francisco sheriff’s officials months earlier despite a request by immigration officials to keep him behind bars.
House Republicans took action Thursday to crack down on illegal immigrants and the cities that shelter them.
One bill passed by the House would deny federal grants to sanctuary cities and another, Kate’s Law, would increase the penalties for deported aliens who try to return to the United States.

“Yelaad’im Kaeele” has been revealed as the song that Noam Dadon will perform for Israel at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018.
KAN has today revealed a snippet of the song that will represent Israel at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018. “Yelaad’im Kaeele” will be performed by Noam Dadon on stage in Minsk, Belarus. A snippet of the official music video for the song has been revealed by KAN.
Who is Noam Dadon?
Thirteen-year-old Noam Dadon was born on 20th June 2005 in Jerusalem, Israel. Noam has been performing since he was young, making many TV appearances in his career, including the Junior Eurovision Israeli national final, which took place at the beginning of September. Alongside singing, Noam uploads performance videos onto his YouTube channel.
In September, Noam and five other artists took to the stage at the Russel Theatre in Ramat Gan, performing for their chance to represent their country. In the end, Noam was crowned victorious by the jury panel, made up of former Eurovision stars.
Israel have previously taken part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on two occasions. On their debut in 2012, Kids.il came eighth with “Let the Music Win”. Israel then withdrew from the 2013 contest and did not return until 2016. On their return, the country was represented by Shir & Tim with “Follow My Heart”. The duo finished in fifteenth place.

Latino-rights activists are challenging Arizona’s ban on school books and courses that provide students with information about Mexican-American history and culture, as Dennis J Bernstein describes.
By Dennis J Bernstein
Arizona’s resistance to allowing school books and courses that teach Mexican-American history and culture has generated resistance, both in underground efforts to provide the books to students and to challenge the ban on courses in courts as discriminatory.
The Librotraficante Caravan, co-organized in Houston Texas by writer, teacher and activist, Tony Diaz, headed back to Arizona this month with a new shipment of banned books. According to Diaz, Houston activists made the 1,000-plus-mile ride once again to draw attention to Arizona’s decision to remove from classrooms books mostly dealing with Mexican-American culture.
The journey also included the restocking of the underground libraries they formed during their 2012 Caravan, and updates on the advancement of Ethnic Studies in each state they pass through. According to the group’s press release, “With their 2012 Caravan, the Librotraficantes joined a nationwide movement to defy Arizona’s ban and to keep it in check.”
There is also a federal court case, which commenced on June 26, contesting the book ban and the ban on ethnic studies in Arizona, that the caravan was organized to call attention to. According to Diaz, the court case will be reviewed again with new evidence consisting of studies proving that the outlawed Mexican American Studies courses in Tucson increased student success and learning power at many levels. The case had been reviewed by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which sent the case back to the Arizona Supreme Court to be considered with the additional evidence.
“We were in the courtroom when a Federal Judge told America that if you have proof that a course helps a particular group of students succeed, yet you outlaw the course, that looks like discrimination,” said Tony Diaz. “We hope that the upcoming Arizona Supreme Court ruling will drive a stake in the heart of this un-American law that tramples on Intellectual freedom.”
The six-city caravan departed from the Casa Ramirez Folk Art Gallery in Houston on June 21, and made stops in San Antonio, El Paso, Las Cruces and Albuquerque before culminating in Tucson, Arizona.
Dennis Bernstein: Why don’t you remind people all about what this caravan and what it was meant to do.
Tony Diaz: Thanks for all the work that you do for freedom of speech. And, really, that’s what the first caravan was about. When our crew here in Houston, Texas heard about students lamenting that books had been yanked out of their hands from Tucson classrooms, it perked our ears. We looked into it.
That’s when we found out that Arizona had passed this draconian law that prohibits courses that promote the overthrow of the government. Which is basically what they have accused books of poetry, literature, you know, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Critical Race Theory, House on Mango Street. You know what that is — that’s straight up fascism and oppression. So, we said, “If you’re going to ban the books, we’re going to smuggle them back.”
And the students wanted the books back. So we started an 1,100 [mile], six city caravan, and we started underground libraries, basically tracing the Chicano literary history of the Southwest and making stops in each of the cities along the way. If people go to librotraficante.com they can see the original map, and it really does trace the legacy of literature in the Southwest. This time around was really powerful, Dennis, and I really want to share this with your readers, is that we revisited all the underground libraries, and we stocked them with banned books. And each of them is thriving. […] So it was really powerful, to not only convene with our communities again, but also … get all the way to Tucson for the Arizona Supreme Court hearing.
And it’s beautiful to see our community defy that ban. I’m hoping the rest of the country catches up. But people should know that right now [week of June 26], at the Arizona Supreme Court, the ban of Mexican American Studies is being tested. We hope it will get overturned. If not, people need to know, if that is not overturned, that will be the law that suppresses African American Studies, Mexican American Studies, Asian American Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Women’s Studies, in every corner of the land. So it’s important that we keep an eye on this. And that we all work really hard to keep spreading all this knowledge, right now.
DB: Say a little bit more about how the banned writers have participated, what their reactions have been. It is really incomprehensible, shall we say, in 2017 that the folks in Tucson, and other places, are afraid of extraordinary, beautiful books that have been the mainstay in many libraries all over the country.
TD: No, it’s shocking, it’s depressing. At the same time, we gotta remind folks that it’s our communities that edify us, inspire us. Because, yeah, it is troubling to know that there are forces at work that want to stifle these beautiful books, such as Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya. But we are in a Chicano Renaissance when someone who is from a Mexican American background can read those works and wind up convening with Mr. Anaya, himself.
It was wonderful because the caravan passed through Albuquerque, and we stopped at Rodolfo’s house. We took some tequila shots with him just one more time to be edified spiritually and physically, but on top of it he said “Occupy Arizona.” He donated books, he donated some funds to the cause. He gave us shelter and fired us up.
[…] So people know the far right can try and defy that book. It’s going to be in February, an opera. This may be the first Chicano opera. So … they can pass all these racist bills, we’re still going to fight it. The underground libraries will flourish. They’re flourishing in every place that they [exist]… they’ve taken on lives of their own. It’s beautiful. And people can see the addresses if they go to librotraficante.com, they can see the addresses.
But, Bless Me, Ultima… we were at a farmers’ market in Los Habanos, spreading word about the underground library, the ban, and a mom said, “You know, I took my son to see the play version of Bless Me, Ultima. My son didn’t want to go. He hated school. But he was crying at the end of it.”
And he said “I know what this is about, I see that, that owl is […] us, it’s my family, it’s all of us.” And that’s what Arizona wants to prevent us… from having–that powerful experience. But, you know, what’s great is they can’t stop us. It’s too late. The genie is out of the botella, and it’s never going back in. It’s time for a renaissance, right now.
DB: What is the proof? What is the power of these programs?
TD: Oh, man, so, even now they will be used in court. For example, Nolan Cabrera has written the definitive research that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Tucson Unified School District Mexican American program, kindergarten through 12th grade, not only helped students do better in Mexican American Studies courses, but that transferred over to reading and writing scores, graduation rates.
Stanford had a study that also proved the power of culturally relevant courses. But, on top of it, the court case has had at the top of it, Curtis Acosta, one of the original MAS [Mexican American Studies] instructors, Maya Arce, one of the students, who is the daughter of one of the founders of the program.
DB: A well read fellow, of course.
TD: By the way, it really is mind blowing, on top of it, what we heard as evidence is that this far right-winger, whose out of office, by the way. So, I’m not even sure why he keeps coming back and haunting America. He won’t go away to… I guess the Devil doesn’t need him right now. You know, basically he keeps citing Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, who, you know, it’s a powerful book. He claims he read it. So, evidently even if you read it, you may not turn to social justice.
DB: We’re speaking with Tony Diaz, a teacher, an activist, a visionary, one of the founders of El Librotraficante. And they are smuggling books, can you believe it? They’re smuggling books back into Arizona because there, in Arizona, which you could say is still Texas, people say it is, they say that these are dangerous books. These are books, you all are smuggling books that are going to overthrow the country, they are going to corrupt the minds of students.
But, you know, we would broadcast from Arizona and we spoke to a bunch of the students who were in these programs, that were counting on these books. And these students talked about, and I don’t exaggerate, they say they called them, the programs and the books, “life savers.” We spoke to kids who were contemplating suicide because they had so little self worth. And then here comes these programs that transforms their lives. You want to talk about that?
TD: By all means, and here’s the other part of it. Obviously Arizona doesn’t… Arizona officials don’t care that their youth are telling them that these classes influenced their lives. Obviously, Arizona officials don’t care that we have evidence. Luis Rodriguez, his life was saved from gangs by literature. Obviously, they are deaf to those stories. But guess what? Now, they’ve got research that proves it.
But here’s the scary thing: they’re not going to listen to the students. They’re not going to listen to the teachers. Day one of the trial, the Arizona attorney was grilling a former math teacher in the program because of a poem he wrote. They were grilling him because he wrote a poem, that he never performed in public; it was for a conference that was outside of class. And he was angry, so perhaps he ridiculed some public officials. He also spoke Spanish in class, called the people [who shut down the program] “mentirosos” which means liars.
People should know that the lawyers for Arizona are persecuting teachers who wrote poems. That’s it. The poem was not used in class. It wasn’t in any of these dangerous books. It wasn’t in the curriculum. They really want all of our freedom of speech, and imaginations, to be controlled. It is mind-boggling.
DB: Imagine, calling a politician a liar! Oh, my gosh, it’s like a shocking thing. Have you ever heard a politician lie? Are you laughing?
TD: I’m laughing, and I’m crying.
TD: And, I’m trying to get a lawyer ready because if I… okay I’ve written a lot of poems now. Do we all have to lawyer up, now? Is that what we have to do?
DB: Well, I heard that some lawyers use the law as a legal excuse to lie. And we see that quite a bit. But, we’re talking about truth tellers, we’re talking about books that are full of profound truths, visionary thinkers who help to change history. These are folks, the books you’re smuggling back into Phoenix, into Arizona, these are the books that not only don’t lie but they help create a new language, for a new way of living. That’s the nature of the poet.
TD: Exactly. And, now, this is a chance for the American imagination to expand in ways that we all need to have happen. But let me tell you what’s going on in that courtroom. The judge threw out the possibility of introducing evidence we have about [former Arizona State Senator, John] Huppenthal’s involvement in other related legislation.
The Judge essentially said “I’m not going to let you admit the evidence where Huppenthal supported English-only laws [because] there’s a lot of evidence that says a country that allows too many languages is also becoming weaker.” So, the judge basically sighted white-supremacy literature as balancing out the ability to make any connections between English-only laws.
So, what I’m terrified about, is all the precedents that will be set in this court case, if it is upheld. Because it’s going to curtail the imagination. And, you know, hey, The Tempest [by Shakespeare] was cited. You gotta get your summer reading list together. Buy all the books that are cited in the Arizona Banned Court Trials. So you can add The Tempest to that.
Maybe The Tempest will save Mexican American literature. Because it was an extended conversation about The Tempest where Chris Acosta used it in his class room, and you had the Arizona lawyers arguing about what it could mean. And it basically shows how, in the hands of people with no imagination, they can try and… basically, deport William Shakespeare, from the curriculum!
The sense this makes is nonsense, Dennis.
DB: Alright, well, it is an extraordinary situation, banning books… Librotraficante is so far on the edge, ahead of its time, in the middle of its time, more important now than ever.
Let’s just come back for a moment to the court case. Again, just briefly remind people what’s happening in court? The caravan went to the courtroom, there are actions. There’s probably a break in the court right now. But what’s at the heart of the matter, at this court case?
TD: Sure, and so, right now [week of June 26] at the Arizona Supreme Court, this [was] the first week of what could be up to three weeks of testimony, where the court case is being reviewed. It is in place, right now. So, right now there is a law in Arizona banning Mexican American Studies. This is the first week, of course. There’s about a six lawyer team, working pro-bono. They are New York lawyers that have come in, and they are doing a great job.
Richard Martinez is the legal eagle leading the team, but Arizona has made it very difficult. So, we came in to spread awareness, to show support, because the Tucson [educator] family should have been… they should have been extolled for this curriculum that they had in place for several years. Instead, they’ve been maligned, fired, sued. And the Arizona officials placed the first week of proceedings, this week, in one month it will be the second week, and two months later, there may be a third week.
So, that already is difficult to deal with. But what people need to know is that if this law is upheld, it can spread just like the Anti-Immigrant Bill [SB 1070] that Arizona has spread. And that’s the real issue that people should be concerned about.
[…] I’m also happy that when El Librotraficante joined the national movement, to keep this law in check, which was enforced in 2012, it has not spread. And it’s like here in Texas, we always look at the same language that was out there, that’s been out there, to sniff out any similar laws and we’ve done that.
Likewise, we need people to pay attention to what’s going on here in the court, because they have to make sure that other right-wingers or anybody who wants to oppress freedom of speech doesn’t copy the language. And that’s what we’re listening to in the courtroom, is how in the world is this wretched discrimination going to keep in place, right now?
I’m not sure why this is going in place, as your listeners know, racist former sheriff, Joe Arpaio’s tent city was torn down recently. Jan Brewer is no longer in office. She is the former Arizona governor who signed this law into place, as well as the show-me-your-papers law. Why are their legacies, of their racists laws, still in place? You know, it would be wise for Arizona to drop this case. And I’m hoping we can still believe in the courts. I’m hoping this can be overturned. I’m hoping they can implement it.
But here’s the good news, in the course of that time, in Texas, I’ve actually submitted a textbook for Mexican American Studies in Texas. In California, as your listeners enjoy, now some major high school districts require students to take Ethnic Studies before graduating. And [in] Hawaii they’ve implemented Ethnic Studies.
So, it’s time for Arizona to foster a curriculum that promotes a multicultural [view]. That’s what’s at stake in the Tucson courtroom right now. And people need to pay attention to it. I think it’s going to be several months before they come up with a decision. But it’s going to be a few months where they actually go over all the details, and all the evidence.
DB: Alright, well we’re going to leave it right there. But how do people get more information about Librotraficante, what you all are doing, maybe they want to participate.
TD: That would be beautiful. If they go to librotraficante.com, they can see, if they click on the tab that says “Banned” they can get a list of all the books that were on the curriculum. I’m sure some of their favorite authors are on there. They can also click on Underground Libraries to find out where all the underground libraries are. There’s actually even more underground libraries, but they are so underground that they’re not listed on it. These other ones are at communities centers that people could volunteer at. Keep the books too. And then on Facebook, we will be posting updates on what’s going on in the courtroom.

If you have problem with books about Mexican vs American history, check out history books in Europe and Asia.
One nation worshipped heroes are other nations villains commonly and routinely. There is not consensus among professional historians from any two countries writing about exactly the same historical event, most accounts are contradictory about facts as well as meaning of the events often after they happened several hundreds years ago.
If you do not realize that official history is a propaganda lie you will not understand anything, especially as Zinn pointed out nobody among historian gave a damn about 95% of population but only wrote paid panagyrics for powerful and opulent so they feel good about their vicious crimes.
From another site:
It appears to me that the intent of the law was to give a free hand to the Authorities to ban anything which irritated them. I can detect the hand of Zionists with the bolded part – damning Holy Israel and its murderous and thieving inhabitants would not be allowed in Arizona.
It’s impossible for me to make a judgment here – I don’t have access to the books and therefore can’t determine their quality. That said, even in ignorance I’d tend to side with those opposing the white Republican book-banners in AZ – at least until such time as I learn more.
Kind of deja-vu…israel erasing Palestinian history.
Information of any sort whether verbal or written has been controlled since man first learned to read. The banning of a few books here and there isn’t the real worry right now, it the banning and control of the internet that’s at stake and this is where we should be actively up in arms against this kind of tyranny. The books in question aren’t banned for public use they are just banned for school use and is very much a local issue. However, the internet is world wide and the state actors who want to control everything are hopping mad that the public are able to read alternative news and comment on it as well.
Most of what I have learned of real value was learned outside of school. In addition, I had the job of unlearning a lot of the bullshit that was thrown at me in school.
What was the bull shit you unlearned? What did you study in college?
It seems that the article is framed to provoke and incite reaction of seemingly justified hate – for who would not hate the banning of a genuine education – unless of course you don’t believe in or trust education – but seek to mould and fashion – or limit and suppress the intelligence of others to protect against a loss of power or privilege over them.
I heartily recommend Loewen’s “Lies my teacher told me” as a good read, historical facts and fallacies along with the way school textbooks ignore much of the former and succumb to the latter – and why. All in the context of empowering people to understand the present in terms of the past that shaped our perceptions and institutions, and yet is still unfolding as an ongoing series of choices.
Choices cannot be made without awareness of what the choice is. Education ought to facilitate the ability to think- in its broadest sense and not to be stuffed with thinking that is falsely based and effectively being lied to.
Here’s are the criticisms….some of these books were being used in 9th grade classes—-that’s too young imo. If their parents want them to read it, fine, they can do so out of school.
# Bless Me, Ultima
…..After its publication in 1972, Bless Me, Ultima emerged as one of the “Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books” in the years 2013 and 2008. According to the American Library association, a challenge is an attempt to restrict access of a book through the removal of the text in curriculum and libraries. Specific reasons for the challenges in 2013 were “occult/Satanism, offensive language, religious viewpoint, sexually explicit” and similarly in 2008 of “occult/satanism, offensive language, religious viewpoint, sexually explicit, violence”.
# Pedagogy of the Oppressed
….In his article for the conservative City Journal, Sol Stern asserts that Pedagogy of the Oppressed ignores the traditional touchstones of Western education (e.g., Rousseau, John Dewey, or Maria Montessori) and contains virtually none of the information typically found in traditional teacher education (e.g., no discussion of curriculum, testing, or age-appropriate learning). To the contrary, Freire rejects traditional education as “official knowledge” that intends to oppress.
# Critical Race Theory
….insisted that racism is not just individual hatred but is *still* embedded deeply in our culture and legal system
# House on Mango Street.
……instances of graphic sexual content throughout the novel
The only thing these book banners are protecting young people from is the truth. Our “education” system is concocted of lies and drivel mostly. It’s a big part of why most people are ignorant and unable to think their way out of a paper bag. Society is very protective of it’s major conditioning tool.
These books are not ”banned’—-you can buy them on Amazon and most big book stores.
The point here is that they aren’t suitable for grade school and high school classes.
In every case they have been banned due to ‘parents complaints’ about the language in them.
I like it Tomk that your rant to gain sympathy for the poor oppressed white folks can be published here. They have suffered so much, and have been misunderstood for so long. Even so-called Native Americans are accusing them of all sorts of bad stuff. Everybody knows all they had to do was move over and give us a little room, and we wouldn’t have had to eliminate most of them. And the slaves? They are still complaining about our giving them jobs, when without us they would have had nothing! Thanks for reminding us how much us real white Americans have been screwed over by a bunch of sub-human foreigners.
The problem with that is the “us”–the fact you and the people pushing this agenda seem to believe that those living now are some how responsible for historical wrong doings, you know there were alot of historical wrongdoings and almost all of us can hook under some of them and send out some good hate toward someone or some group descended from them that is not guilty of any of it, how fun to do so for the “oppressed”….This is in vogue but I am not buying it nor does it sell so well in non-Christian countries like Israel and their treatment of the Palestinians and in Muslim Nations where there are active persecutions of minorities, generally Christian but no one here cares much about that….– unlike the USA–the persecution is happening now in these places it is not as to historic wrongs long over but we don’t see much of an agenda to get them to change — better to concentrate here where there was in fact massive action to create a fair society with many white people involved to cause it that you don’t hear a word about–just about how “racist” society is now….Unlike you I would guess, I live in a house where there are white and black people–all get along with no problem and in my life I have lived in mixed neighborhoods and had friends of various races — no problem. I have not heard a white person use a racial slur since the 80s, it just is not accepted or heard in any of the circles I have been in–to read the globalist media you would think just the opposite as they hype any Klan “activity” (most of it phony or as we saw recently paid for by a media company….) and phony instances of “harassment” that are falsely reported and lied about by the “victim”–true incidents of this stuff are in fact rare unless you are the Southern Poverty Law Center that pushes this agenda and profits by it….), I have heard “comedians” and rappers use unfortunate racial slurs as to their own races which I believe is unfortunate and not helpful…. I object to being lumped in as a “racist” because some activist with an agenda, and probably making a living doing so, wants to create an atmosphere of hate and mistrust due to past perceived wrongs that those now being blamed had zero to do with…. The fact that the Indians were murdered mostly by the same Protestant ethic used against the Irish is terrible but I personally had nothing to do with it and neither did any of the people I live with or actually living now….Having lived in Florida I personally know one of the tribe there thriving on the Casino business, very happy, they are even good with FSU using Seminoles as a “mascot” all though more “in touch” and “feeling” non-Indians wanted to complain about it for them…..My point is that the country functioned well for a very long time as a “melting pot”….There is nothing wrong with people writing these books or even having their own little agenda but to force it into the schools? I think Martin Luther King had a dream of a color blind society we all should be working toward and that this is the opposite and will not end well….
“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? “

This is a brief 14 year manufacturing history of the Prince Motor Company and will cover some of the weapons this manufacturer produced: one an aircraft and the second one would become the Nissan Skyline.
In 1924 the Ishikawajima Shipyards branched out into aircraft manufacturing. Many car manufacturers in Japan followed this path starting in ship building before diversifying into aircraft and then car manufacturing. Ishikawajima was successful in providing aircraft to the Imperial Japanese Army for training purposes. So successful in fact, that the Army took full control of the aircraft division in 1936 renaming it the Tachikawa Aircraft Company after the town where the factory was located.
Ishikawajima eventually became IHI, renowned for aircraft engines and turbo units found in many sports cars. Incidentally, the shipyard also founded the Harima Dock Company who subsequently took over an automotive division inside the group which was then spun off as the Ishikawajima Automotive Works (IAW). This company had a licensing agreement with Wolseley to build cars in Japan. After changing its name twice, it became Isuzu Motors in the mid 1930s.
In early 1940, Tachikawa licensed some Lockheed aircraft designs, however after Pearl Harbor, when the Japanese brought the might of the US into conflict they also bolstered the national war effort by assembling the Mitsubishi Zero fighter bomber that was used by several Asian countries during the 1940s. After the hostilities were over, Japan found itself in a similar position to Germany – it was being occupied by the Allies and wasn’t allowed to manufacture aircraft or other equipment that could possibly be used in a military way. Tachikawa and another aircraft company, Nakaima, merged to form the Fuji Sangyo company and many engineers left to join other factories including Toyota.
In 1947 the company started to develop cars as a way of using their engineering knowledge and even produced an electric car, the Tama or “ghost”. It was built for about four years and was very similar to “early” modern electric cars – low power and range with lead acid batteries, however high tech in those days! In 1950, the company was reformed and the manufacture of training aircraft started again and in 1952 the car division was renamed Tama Motor Company and turned into a subsidiary. Two years later it was renamed the Prince Motor Company and spun off completely.
New models were being developed on the back of the Tama, although they were more conventional to compete in a petrol powered market. Prince also saw an opening at the top end of the market making luxury vehicles. This tied in with their name – to honour Prince Akihito. This is where several model lines started that motoring enthusiasts will be familiar with. The first is the Skyline, launched in 1957 as the ALSI-1 model with a 1.5 litre, 60hp motor. Styling was very 1950s General Motors and even though it was a luxury vehicle, it spawned the Prince Miler, a pickup truck (or ute) and the Skyway, a delivery van.
The 1958 version of the Skyline known as the ALSI-2 featured minor styling updates and an extra 10hp and was joined by the BLRA-3 Skyline that looked a lot like a 1960s Triumph thanks to the design coming from Michelotti in Italy who also penned many Standard-Triumphs at the same time.
The original ALSI was used as the basis for a new model in 1959, the Gloria fitted with a 1.9 litre four cylinder motor. The second generation came out in 1962 as the Gloria S40 and S44 with a choice of engines including their first six cylinder in the S41 Gloria 6. Styling was definitely influenced by late 1950s American metal.
In 1963, the second generation Skyline was launched, again in a number of variants and took the S50 badge with several being used for the factory saloon racing team. The success produced the GT line that used the six cylinder 100hp motor from the Gloria. A modern icon was born.
During 1964 the Grand Gloria S44P was released with a 2.5 litre straight six motor. Success at the top end prompted the company to start developing new models further down the scale. One was the Laurel and another was called the Cherry. Both cars were still in design when the company merged with Nissan, holder of the Datsun brand, in 1966. Thus all the cars were rebranded Nissan or Datsun, depending on the market the cars were destined for.
At the time Nissan were buying designs from other manufacturers for assembly in Japan – a bit like how the Koreans got started around the same time. Nissan recognised that to grow and succeed they needed a design shop that was capable of developing market leading cars. Prince had this capability, coming from a solid engineering background with success on the track and rallying.
With the aircraft knowledge: good dollops of power in a lightweight but strong chassis and body – Prince knew how to package up a competitive car, something that Nissan struggled with. It was this knowledge that helped the old technology in the Datsun Fairlady become the super svelte 240-Z, and the birth of another iconic range – the Z cars. Some reports even suggest that the Z was named after the Zero fighter as many of the Prince engineers had worked on the aircraft when they assembled it during the 1940s.
It can still be seen that Nissan gained a huge amount from the merger, with all model names continuing on for several decades and the Skyline and Z cars becoming modern classics with the GT spawning the GTR badge that became its own hard core sub-brand and successful racer.

|Nosiheptide-resistance methyltransferase (NSR) methylates 23S rRNA at the nucleotide adenosine 1067 in Escherichia coli and thus contributes to resistance against nosiheptide, a sulfur-containing peptide antibiotic. Here, the expression, purification and crystallization of NSR from Streptomyces actuosus are reported. Diffracting crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method in reservoir solution consisting of 0.35 M ammonium chloride, 24%(w/v) PEG 3350, 0.1 M MES pH 5.7 at 293 K. Native data have been collected from the apo enzyme and a SAM complex, as well as apo SeMet SAD data. The diffraction patterns of the apo form of NSR, of NSR complexed with SAM and of SeMet-labelled NSR crystals extended to 1.90, 1.95 and 2.25 A resolution, respectively, using synchrotron radiation. All crystals belonged to space group P2(1), with approximate unit-cell parameters a = 64.6, b = 69.6, c = 64.9 A, beta = 117.8 degrees .|

There's a big patient pool waiting out there for any diabetes vaccine maker that can bring a product to market, but so far, it's been a rocky road. Diamyd Medical is among the companies that have seen their share of setbacks. But after a Phase III stumble back in 2011, the EU is putting forth some cash to test its vaccine in an ongoing combination study.
|Diamyd Chairman Anders Essen-Möller|
The EU has awarded a €120,000 grant to propel a study evaluating whether vitamin D and ibuprofen help Diamyd's vaccine preserve the insulin-producing capacity in children newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Diamyd expects the first results from the study to be presented in early 2015, it said.
Linköping University professor Johnny Ludvigsson, the study's lead investigator and sponsor, called the support "truly encouraging," while Anders Essen-Möller, Diamyd's chairman, said the combination program is "of interest to both researchers and the industry."
But Diamyd's vaccine didn't start out as part of a cocktail. It made it to Phase III on its own before missing statistical significance in a 2011 trial, prompting then-partner Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) to hand back a stake in the vaccine it had purchased the year prior. Other competing firms also reported less-than-stellar results in Phase III trials between 2010 and 2012, Diamyd said, prompting it to look into combos.
Last year saw a couple of earlier-stage successes, however. In June, researchers from California's Stanford University and The Netherlands' Leiden University Medical Center reported that 12 weekly shots of a DNA vaccine helped preserve some of the remaining insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas without causing serious side effects. And in October, a Finish team reported that after identifying 5 viral strains that could cause diabetes, it had developed a vaccine that proved effective in mice.

Unleash The Neg!
[Note: I had originally intended to make this a video podcast but the ideas here do best in writing, not me talking at my video camera.]
Over four years, I wrote about the self-esteem crisis facing American girls and women. Here is the salient paragraph from my original blog post.
Simply put, contemporary female self-esteem is far too high. Girls and women think too highly of themselves. Whether a teen-aged princess or a middle-aged goddess, females value themselves far in excess of the social/sexual cultural realities as well as the evolutionary psychology realities.
Self-esteem is one’s sense of self-worth. It’s when a person has a strong internal sense of self. Self-esteem and confidence are certainly related. Red Pill wisdom states that a man should have confidence. It’s the emotional power to overcome adversity and grow from it. As women are qualitatively different from men, her emotion strength to simply survive adversity. There is a difference here.
Be wary of many sociological and psychological studies about low self-esteem because they can suffer terribly from selection bias. Simply put, when asked if a person could be the victim of something, that person will answer in the affirmative. This very much applies to women more than men. After all, to the victim goes the spoils – from attention and sympathy all the way to expensive government social programs. But the worst manifestation of getting the social spoils is freedom from consequences of individual decisions and actions.
When it comes to attraction and dating, there are some seriously ugly downstream effects of excess female self-esteem:
- Loss of humility
- Being bossy and domineering
- Indulging in the “having it all” myth
- “I’m always right” or “I always get what I want”
- What “I want” becomes “I deserve”
- Extraordinary pickiness
- Willful ignorance in the face of demographic facts
- Loss of empathy
- Increased “bitch shield“
- Overestimation sense of one’s dating “market value”
- The princess/queen fallacy (check the online dating profiles for those words of self-description)
None of these make a woman more attractive to men. Successful dating coaches know this and have a tremendously challenging balancing act to perform with their female clients. They must rein in the female ego and encourage feminine attractiveness. At the same time, women are awash in social messages such as “love yourself” and “You go, Grrl!”
To circle around to the title of this blog post, it’s important that men have a technique to deal with a woman’s jumbo self-esteem. In old school Pickup Artistry (PUA) is the concept of the “neg“. This word is both a verb and a noun. It is also one of the most controversial elements of PUA techniques.
The neg is intended to be used carefully and with nuance and subtlety. It is not a verbal hammer to be wielded with clumsy impunity. In the context of a woman’s over-inflated self-esteem, the neg can be something fairly neutral. I’ve used this line with great success:
“I see you have that whole self-esteem issue under control”.
This line is not an insult, it’s a statement to acknowledge a woman has no shortage of ego. It puts her on notice that the man can see through her bluster and facade. It’s also a reminder that the man seeks feminine qualities, not masculine qualities clumsily tacked on to a female body.
Using the neg must be done with masculine confidence and with a strong element of flirting. Delivered with a wry smirk (gentlemen, practice that look), the neg can be devastatingly effective in poking a necessary hole in a woman’s unrealistic self-esteem. Of course, if a woman is insufferably awash in ego, it’s time for the nuclear option.
I read that this is a Swedish quote regarding women – she should be happy, humble, and grateful. Is there anything wrong with this? I don’t think so. Note: A reader from Sweden corrected me regarding that quote. According to that comment, it’s “Happy, horny, and grateful”. That fits well, too.

Must be awful for men to be so afraid of women.
Your comment is simply a variation of the “you’re a coward!” shaming language. In fact, your response (weak and unoriginal) is also a variation of the “Shut up! You’re a do-do head! rebuttal. Such a rebuttal is a strong indication that my original assertion in the post is indeed true. As you can’t muster up a clear and cogent argument against that assertion, I am forced to come to this conclusion:
You’re an idiot.
And yet, you’re still a terrified coward.
And you weren’t doing so badly with the previous comment. #facepalm
I recommend a book for you: Crimes Against Logic
This book might also help you: Logically Fallacious
Women hate suck ups.
I assume that you’re a man. You come across as a man.
“I read that this is a Swedish quote regarding women – she should be happy, humble, and grateful.”
It was actually “happy, horny, and grateful”.
Doh! You’re right! I will update the post with a correction.
Uhm, yeah…still trying to remain relevant.
Facades are just that. While the princess complex does exist only the weak succumb to it. This is an exaggeration at best.
PUA approach that puts women down is just a douche move. Woman with value aren’t gonna respond to that.
And yes, fear also comes to mind, but implying that someone who disagrees with you is an idiot is also being an idiot. Relevance man, relevance.
It’s a move that can be necessary. A woman with genuine feminine value isn’t going to have an over-inflated ego that makes her insufferable to be around. Such a woman won’t need a neg.
It’s up to the guy to know the difference between a friendly, happy, feminine woman and a shrill, nasty harridan. The harridan gets taken down a peg, deservedly so.
And you finally learned out that arguing the point and not the messenger is more effective.
“PUA approach that puts women down is just a douche move. Woman with value aren’t gonna respond to that.”
Oh, but they do, man, they do.
I know that you’re not a fan of the “love yourself” mentality, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s necessary for real core confidence and out come independence. It’s also necessary to overcome the toxic cultural influences that would make narcissists of us all.
To love your self does not mean embracing narcissism. Narcissists are pretty empty and small, and require an inflated balloon of hot air ego. But it’s a thin skin. It requires a never ending source of outside validation. In otherwords, their self is dependant on outside sources.
Loving yourself means coming to a place of love and acceptance of yourself. Even the parts you don’t like. Self improvement comes from a frame of being good enough, but there’s always room for growth. For your own sake. (As oppossed to self loathing and a sense of not being good enough) Otherwise, you get trapped into the validation/narcissism loop. Your selfhood, happiness inner strength ends up being dependant on people and things outside of you.
And that’s a form of control.
