Football Cleats in the Club? Snoop Dogg Approves
That's one way to wear the rapper's Adidas "Money" cleats.
Plastered in hundred dollar bills and featuring shiny gold spikes, Snoop Dogg’s "Money” football cleats — also emblazoned with his iconic “Gin and Juice” lyric, “Money on My Mind” — are great for the obvious activities: “having a good time scoring touchdowns, making tackles and doing what [football players] do,” the rapper tells The Hollywood Reporter at Thursday evening’s premiere of Adidas' new skateboarding film, Away Days.
But if you don’t happen to find yourself on the field anytime soon that’s OK, there’s always the club. “One of my homeboys, he don’t even play football and he bought a pair of the shoes and he wear them in the club. So that just shows you that the shoe is doin' what it’s supposed to do. We bring flavor to the table.”
The rapper, whose partnership with Adidas is going on five years strong, has brought more than just flashy, club-worthy cleats to the equation. His skate shoes, too, have been sellout favorites — even in a market saturated with hip-hop sneaker collaborations (Adidas alone has partnerships with Pharrell and, of course, Kanye West's Yeezy). The 47-year-old’s unique edge, however, stems from his relationship to the athletic brand’s prolific history with the world of hip-hop.
“I’m a rebirth of the Run-D.M.C. era," he says. "Run-D.M.C. were the first ones who brought Adidas and hip-hop and culture together, so it’s an extension of that." His partnership, then, was a natural one. “One day when Adidas said ‘we want to put Snoop Dogg on our team’ — then it was like a magnet.”
That being said, the crowd gathered outside of The Orpheum theater for Thursday evening’s premiere was a testament to Snoop’s influence beyond the fans of the ‘90s rap scene. Hundreds of skate boys — identical with their shaggy hair, tight-pants and, of course, killer skate shoes — lined up around the block to catch the skate film's premiere (hosted by Snoop himself) as well as a special performance by House of Pain.
“I’m a part of the Adidas family and they’re putting out a great movie, a great skate movie with some of the greatest skaters in the L.A. area and the L.B.C. area, so I gotta support them,” he said of his involvement with Away Days (available for purchase on iTunes on May 30 and on YouTube for 24 hours on May 29), which stars famous skaters like Dennis Busenitz and Benny Fairfax.
Snoop’s ties to skateboarding culture are deeper than simply his relationship with Adidas. It just so happens that the rapper counts skateboarding legend Mark Gonzalez among his close friends, and even has a special skate shoe collaboration with Gonzalez coming later this year. “Mark is creative as a mothaf----,” said Snoop. “He’s not just by the book. He usually adds so much flavor that flavor is drippin' off the shoe.”
The rapper was unable to comment further on the details of the secret collaboration, so in the meantime, fans will simply have to rely on Snoop’s constantly updated social channels (nine Instagrams in 24 hours is not uncommon) to find out the details of all the projects he’s got up his sleeve — from new music to his web talk show, GGN, to his upcoming football docuseries on AOL, Coach Snoop.
Although he's super active on Instagram, Snapchat might just be his most entertaining medium. Post-party, the rapper took advantage of the "Friday the 13th" filter to add a bit of color to a video of himself smoking a blunt while folk music played in the background. The Snapchat master's tips for the best snaps? “You know, I suggest that you do you, whoever you are. Don’t be like no one else, be original. Create your own fan base and your own understanding of the people.”

“There are liars, damned liars and statisticians . . .” (old saying)
Obama Administration’s SEVERE
MISCOUNT of Stimulus jobs
Aims to Hide Sickening Truth
It’s considered unpatriotic by Mr. Obama to criticize him or his administration or their ineptness. If that’s so, you’re about to hear some truly unpatriotic blasphemy. Are you one of those Doubting Thomases very skeptical about the honesty of reported federal government statistics? The word on the street is that “figures don’t lie, but liars sure can figure.” Here’s a case in point, among all the “jobs created or saved by the Obama administration’s $787 Billion stimulus were 384 jobs created at Hormel’s Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar, Minnesota at a cost of $7,144,000 ( a mere $18,600 per job, fantastic by normal government standards). The summary of the grant reads this way: “production and delivery of small cooked deli breasts.” Sounds good. The turkey breasts in question are part of a $100 million package of grants received mainly for canned fruit, canned pork, and sliced ham for stocking food pantries across the nation.
OOOOps, one small problem: the 384 people hired eventually worked for less than 40 hours each. How many actual permanent jobs were created by this grant? ZERO! Cost per day for each of these jobs? $3,720. Are you still impressed? How much REAL money went into the pockets of Obama supporters for FAKE jobs on this one? Unfortunately, those statistics are not available . . . .
This is why virtually all federally released figures must be taken with a huge grain of salt by any intelligent voter. Weasel phrases akin to calling the neighborhood “pool parlor” a “Pocket Billiards Emporium” are the very stock in trade of federal liars like Barak Obama and all the people who surround him and support his efforts all the way right down to the sour-faced neighborhood bureaucrat. Do you remember back when Senator Obama was talking about creating five million new green-tech jobs as soon as he became president? If that was realistic and helpful, surely that’s where the bulk of the stimulus money should have gone, no? Well, Rajjpuut, and a whole hell of a lot of other bloggers around the country put the national media straight and that starry-eyed notion melted away like butter on a hot skillet bottom. Since the “green-tech” lie is a classic example of what we’re up against, it bears repeating . . . .
Admit it, it sounds terrific! Imagine five million new jobs in the green-tech industry helping get our nation off the oil bandwagon and all the pollution it produces. That was NICE. Now let’s face the facts . . . .
Up until about thirteen years ago, Spain was the top job creator among all nations in the European Union. Then they got the starry-eyed notion to pour money into "alternative energy," clean up the environment and create even more jobs via green tech. Sound familiar? One caveat for Mr. Obama, Spain's present unemployment rate at more than 20% is more than double the European Union average. Barak, of course doubles-down on green-tech, steadfastly refusing to let Americans drill off America's shoreline, in the country itself, or even to let Americans use new technologies to drill out old oil wells: all policies even the green-smitten Spaniards would call "absolutamente loco!"
So what do the stats tell us? The Spanish economy lost 2.2 jobs from the wider marketplace for every single green job created. That would mean Obama's program could cost America eleven million other jobs or a net loss of six million jobs, but wait . . . . Remember from our one-day turkey breast example, whenever liberal politicians "create" jobs they tend to count in "funny" sorts of ways, acting as if a one-week job and a permanent job were all the same thing. What happened in Spain was that ultimately only 10% of the green jobs they created were permanent jobs . . . ooooooops that means that instead of creating five million REAL JOBS, Obama will likely be creating five million bogus-counted funny-jobs in green tech that amount to only 500,000 real jobs-- so now we're looking at an overall loss of 10.5 million real jobs . . . that's 22 real jobs lost** by the subsidies needed to fund creation each single green-tech job, OUCH! Here’s a report from another heretic that Rajjpuut loves:
This info, from the U. S. Senate Subcommittee on Green Jobs and the New Economy, concludes that many green jobs pay low wages, require expensive taxpayer subsidies, and require killing existing jobs to subsidize these new green jobs. Of course, Missouri Senator Kit Bond author of that report Yellow Light on Green Jobs and subcommittee ranking member is a conservative Republican and he's surely regarded as "unpatriotic" by Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Obama too??? Senator Bond, by the way, is retiring by choice and will be sorely missed. And also, “sorely missed”? All those jobs created or saved by the Obama stimulus . . . . jobs that upon closer examination all POOF! Disappear into thin air.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
** "How can this be?" you ask . . . . Government canNOT create jobs they can only redistribute wealth. Even creating apparent jobs in the military or the border patrol to carry out obvious and necessary government functions of protecting the nation comes at a cost of real jobs in the free market economy, it just so happens that almost all Americans agree those are worthy functions and don't begrudge the government the cost, but make no bones about it, there is a cost. World War II saw the "creation" of 16 million jobs and brought the Great Depression to an end because of that. What was the cost? Virtually all economic activity was diverted into the military sphere in one way or another and the entire country was under rationing beginning in the spring of 1942. Ordinary citizens found that certain foods were almost impossible to get and they cost much more than previously. Items like metals; gasoline and other fuels; tires and other rubber goods; a lot of food especially coffee, meats, butter, fats, cheese and oils; and even clothing such as nylons and shoes were rationed. In other words the citizens sacrificed greatly by government decree so the war effort could continue. Additionally, huge amounts of time and energy normally devoted to other activities by individuals and businesses was turned toward the war and the needs of the troops: scrap drives, huge drives for war bond sales, virtually all the normal activities of a nation at peace were foregone or dramatically reduced so the military could succeed. Besides the loss in people and in maimed individuals, the material wealth of the nation was greatly reduced, but it could have been far, far worse . . . imagine being a Japanese, Italian or German citizen and not only sacrificing so much, not only losing so many of your relatives, friends and neighbors, but also having your very homeland destroyed and so many of you killed in the process. War is not pretty and all the costs of it should always be understood before it's every embarked upon.

Optical implementation of a backpropagating neuron by means of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot etalon requires thresholding a forward signal beam while the transmittance of a backpropagating beam is multiplied by the differential of the forward signal. This is achievable by inputting a bichromatic field to a three-level system in an optical cavity. The response characteristics of this device have the added possibility of adaptability of the threshold by the backward probe input intensity.

Protecting Backhaul for 4G/5G Radio Access Network
Securing 4G's S1/X2 and 5G's N2/N3/Xn Interfaces
Radio Access Networks (RANs) to Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and 5G-NGC Security Challenges
The "flat" packet-based architectures of 4G and upcoming 5G have potentially increased the mobile infrastructure’s exposure to cyber attacks with end-to-end IP core infrastructure. The elimination of the radio network controller (RNC) has resulted in a direct and unprotected signaling of user plane paths between RANs and the EPC in 4G/4.5G and between NG-RANs and 5G-NGC. In 4G/4.5G, this may result in Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)-based attacks to manipulate mobile management entity (MME) functions and/or GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)-based attacks to manipulate serving gateway (sGW) functions.
In 5G for example, this can result in access management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), and user plane function (UPF) manipulation. Similar types of attacks can be carried out on both X2/Xn control and data planes, resulting in possible service denial and rogue RANs. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) recommends the use of security gateways (SecGWs) to handle IPsec tunnels between RANs and EPC/5G-NGC for the communication of S1/X2 and N2/N3/Xn traffic.
FortiGate Secure Gateway Implementation For 4G S1/X2 and 5G N2/N3/XN Interfaces
Implemented as a VNF or as a physical appliance (PNF), FortiGate enables a complete set of SecGW functionalities targeting possible attacks and manipulation of 4G and 5G RANs to EPC/NGC interfaces (S1/X2 and N2/N3) including:
- High-performance stateful firewalling and content inspection
- SCTP and GTP firewall
- Quality of service (QoS) support, including traffic rate limiting and queuing
- DoS protection
- High-performance IPsec VPN concentrator
- RANs to EPC/NGC authentication support
- ESP and IKEv2 support
- SCTP multi-homing support
FortiGates for this use case can be implemented only at the network edge or in a more distributed SecGW architecture at the RAN level to ensure both security and low latency X2/Xn traffic.
Physical Appliance (PNF) or Virtual Network Function (VNF)
FortiGate SecGW can be implemented as a PNF with high availability (HA) and the highest proven scalability. Fortinet’s custom security processors provide hardware acceleration to meet today and tomorrow’s traffic and session volume with minimum latency and no compromise on the depth and range of the delivered security services.
The same capabilities are provided by FortiGate virtual machines (VMs) acting as VNFs, with the industry’s smallest footprint and fastest boot time, providing a unique consolidated security NGFW & UTM VNF for 4G/4.5G and 5G environments. Dynamic and massive auto scaling is achieved via proven integration with software-defined networking (SDN) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) NFV management and orchestration (MANO) platforms such as Amdocs, Ciena’s Blue Planet, HPE, Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, more.
Fortinet technology and Fabric-Ready Partner programs ensure SDN integration via Fortinet SDN Connectors and Fortinet APIs (available via the Fortinet Developer Network). These include integration with Nuage Networks, Cisco ACI, and VMware NSX.

Slowly the wall that used to hold up the old Glen Villa Inn is beginning to look like a wall again.
As exciting as the re-building are the treasures we discovered when the wall came down. We found glass bottles of all sorts, clear and coloured, broken and unbroken.
Some of the bits of glass were plain, some more decorative.
A clear glass jar with nicely interlocking circles saying Ripans tabules came from Ripans Chemical Company, New York. Thanks to an on-line search and information from The Toadstool Millionaires, I now know that the bottle we unearthed once held a patent medicine said to “benefit dyspepsia and illnesses from a disordered stomach.” The company’s name ‘Ripans’ was made up from the first letters of the product’s ingredients: rhubarb, ipecac, peppermint, aloes, nux vomica, and soda. Contemporary advertisements praised the virtues of these ‘tabules,’ a word made-up by the manufacturer, claiming “No matter what’s the matter, one will do you good. They banish pain, induce sleep, prolong life.” Apparently there was also a chocolate coated version.
I didn’t need to look on-line to find information about the bottle below — its name made its purpose clear, even if its shape hadn’t done that already.
I find to my surprise that an on-line market exists for these bottles, both of which date from the late 19th or early 20th century. You can buy a Ripans bottle on ebay for U.S. $24.99 and any number of ink bottles of different shapes and colours for even less.
As well as the clear and coloured bottles, our treasure trove included the base of a broken but still attractive candlestick, part of an oil lamp, a punch cup and the top of a salt shaker. The richly coloured blue bottle made by Wm R. Warner & Co. was yet another medicine bottle, and while I haven’t found information about what type of medicine it was, I imagine it was another miracle ‘tabule’ designed to cure all ills, induce sleep and prolong life.
Is there significance in the fact that the two medicine bottles we discovered were made in the U.S. and all the broken china we discovered was made in England? The hunter green design on the cache of broken plates and saucers seems even now an appropriate choice for a country inn, even though the pattern name Recherché does not. According to marks on the bottom, the ‘Imperial Semi China’ was made by Dunn Bennett & Co. Burslem England sometime between 1891 and 1907. Since Glen Villa Inn was built in 1902 and burned down in 1909, the china must clearly have been used in the hotel.
The blue fragment below, pattern name ‘Woodford,’ may have been a soap dish. It was made by Dalehall Pottery, a company that seems to have existed for one year only, 1892. Did Mr. LeBaron, Glen Villa’s entrepreneurial builder, get a good deal on the dishes, or was a still-colonial Canada the china’s dumping ground? And why did the company go out of business? One of partners in the enterprise was Edward Alfred Wedgwood so perhaps Dalehall was absorbed by the more prominent and longer established company. Or perhaps it simply went under.
Along with broken glass and pottery, we uncovered metal bits and pieces — the metal rims around barrels, old nails and pieces too bent to identify. For me, these treasures are signs of the past that tell stories or raise questions. I like Mr. Warner’s blue bottle and Underwood’s ink jar; together they remind me of the Skipp’s Peacock Blue ink that once was all the rage. But perhaps my favourite treasure is this bent and rusty horseshoe.
It makes me think of the horse-drawn carriages that brought guests to the front door of the Glen Villa Inn, how the horses must have slowly circled the low stone wall where the lady in white is sitting in the postcard below. Thinking of those horses makes me think of how much more slowly life moved then, how different the problems were from those we face today. Or, after a slightly longer thought, to wonder if our problems were similar after all.
Now that the area around the wall has been cleared, I know that we won’t find any more treasures. Nor do I know what I’ll do with the ones we’ve found. Perhaps, like the broken pieces of china I discovered shortly after we moved into Glen Villa in 1996, they will sit in the basement for years until an idea occurs to me.
Or maybe not. Maybe I’ll rebury this newest treasure trove in the re-built wall, leaving it for someone else to discover years from now.

It’s a sad irony that just a few months after Christianity Today magazine praised Mennonites for founding the fair-trade movement,
the Canadian arm of Ten Thousand Villages announced it will be shuttering its corporate-run stores this spring.
In “The Christian Roots of the Fair Trade Movement,”
CT’s December issue retells a story familiar to many in Mennonite circles: How Edna Ruth Byler of Pennsylvania,
a Mennonite Central Committee worker, started selling textiles from her car trunk in the 1940s.
That effort led to MCC’s Overseas Needlework and Crafts Project, later renamed SELFHELP Crafts of the World,
and eventually the Ten Thousand Villages chain. Over 76 years, the organization has Fair trade pioneer praised just before.
“empowered over 100,000 makers around the world to earn a fair and stable income, Fair trade pioneer praised just before.
share their craft with a global market, gain access to education and medical services,
better working conditions (and) equal opportunities for women,” Villages said in a release.
Not only was Villages the world’s first fair trade organization, it “remains the largest and best-known,”
the Christianity Today article stated..Speaking from personal experience, and having struggled with this issue myself, I have struggled to speak up whenever I have felt overwhelmed,
down and discouraged, even though I knew that keeping quiet was solving not a thing. But looking back,
I knew why I did it: it was the fear of condemnation, the fear of being rejected, the fear of being ridiculed.
I trained my mind to ignore the problem and pretend to everyone around me that I was OK.
I forced myself to believe the very lie I’d created. So the turmoil I was living in compelled me to live in pain; there was a hole in my chest,
and I found myself living in a dark room, screaming in silence.

My Thank You Note to Belle
I am forever grateful to Marjorie (C.A.A.R.E.), Barbara (Bones Pet Rescue), and any others that helped you to find your way to me. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined just how much you would change my life. Tears roll down my face as I write this while you sleep next to me. I’ll never forget the day we met and how quickly you relaxed on our first drive together. You were just a skinny 8 month old pup, with endless energy, running around the back yard while looking up at the sky. You quickly showed me how important you would be to my business as new dogs came around for boarding during the busy summer. In 27 of the first 30 days with me you worked hard at the job of entertaining guest dogs without a single complaint. I kept track of how many different dogs you had met for the first couple years, but stopped counting at well over 200. Your ability to adjust to each dogs energy whether it is to hang with the big dogs or play with the little pups will always amaze me. And your aptitude to help the fearful dogs to come out of their shell is flawless; you always seem to know just what to do.
People often give me the credit for your awesome temperament and instincts, but it’s really you, just being you. Like the time you met that litter of 6 week old Jack Russell pups in Tahoe and they were scared of such a big dog standing next to their X-pen. So you lay down, rolled over on your back and put your nose up to the fence and waited for the pups to come up and visit with you. They knew the communication you had so clearly given, and soon they were coming up to greet you.
I’m forever impressed with your ability to forgive me for my training mistakes and so proud of all of your accomplishments. Just before your 4th birthday you Passed the Therapy Dog Certification test, AKC Canine Good Citizen, Splash Dogs dock jumper, Demo Dog for numerous dog training classes and my invaluable assistant at Pawsitive Training Center as the official Entertainment Director for boarding dogs.
Belle, you’re my forever companion, assistant and best friend, and I’m thankful for every day we spend together,

[Photo story] The many faces of Shanghai over a hundred years
28 May 2021
Over a century, the city of Shanghai saw it all. Westerners fell in love with Republican Shanghai, where commerce and culture flourished; Japanese invaders advanced and retreated; communism and capitalism vied for a stage. Despite these ups and downs, Shanghai has maintained a demeanour and style unto itself. Historical photo collector Hsu Chung-mao traces Shanghai’s days of glamour and the front-row seat it had in war, revolution, and reform.
During the days of the Republic, Nanjing Road in Shanghai was one of the best-known commercial streets in the world. Stores and advertisements lined the streets; advertisement placards announcing sales and discounts were waved in the streets while tobacconists, pharmacies, watch shops and metal workshops vied for customers side by side.
When the US started the International Space Station (ISS) in the 1990s, China was not part of the programme. While many think that China was left out, others say that China spearheaded its own spaceflight programme and never asked to be included in the ISS. Now, with China’s Tiangong space station project well underway, it could push ahead and lead the space exploration race when the ISS expires in 2024. Zaobao correspondent Yu Zeyuan explores the implications.
In part 2 of his article on China’s digital currency ambitions, James Pang takes a look at how a Chinese central bank-issued digital currency — the DCEP — can complement existing e-payment methods and have an edge over traditional cash and cryptocurrencies when it is fully rolled out. Being the first major economy to launch a CBDC, China’s experience will be useful for other countries looking to hop onto the digital currency bandwagon. Utilisation of Chinese DCEP could also aid the process of internationalising the Chinese Yuan (RMB).
People often compare Taiwan and mainland China, and even the Taiwanese knock themselves for lagging behind, especially in terms of economy and business. One frequent comment is that Taiwan is content with “small blessings”. Social entrepreneur and columnist Jack Huang disagrees, saying that the youth in Taiwan are channelling their energy into worthy causes and working hard towards building an inclusive society and a better world for everyone.
Indonesian academic Aristyo Rizka Darmawan looks at Indonesia's engagement with China in recent years and notes that Indonesia has adopted a foreign policy that is driven by economic interest and transactional considerations. Despite its increased engagement with China, Jakarta would need to upkeep its relationships with other regional powers for a good balance.
China recently offered assistance to Indonesia in salvaging the sunken Indonesian submarine KRI Nanggala 2 in the Bali Sea. The submarine was lost on 21 April with its 53 crew members. ISEAS senior fellow Ian Storey examines Beijing's other intentions besides altruism.
Of all Chinese cities, Westerners may be most familiar with Beijing and Shanghai.
Beijing is China’s political centre, where Westerners have interacted with the Chinese government through the ages, and so everything about Beijing city is found in the diplomatic records of Western countries. Shanghai is slightly different. It is China’s commercial centre, with more romance and colour.
In 1860, after the second Opium War, China opened up the ports on its coastal cities and Western diplomats, businessmen, missionaries, and technical persons came into China. Western governments established concession areas in China’s main cities, run by their own institutions, as bases to do business in China.
A window to the West
These concessions became a diplomatic disgrace for the Chinese, but it was also through these areas that the Chinese got in touch with the latest knowledge and products from the West. The concessions became windows for the Chinese to the West, and the best known of these areas were those in Shanghai, including the zones belonging to the British, French, and Japanese.
The prosperity of the concession areas was not just commercially and culturally attractive within China, but also led adventurous Westerners to flock to China to seek money-making opportunities. Many Western-style buildings went up in Shanghai, whose climate of openness made it a centre for Chinese culture, moviemaking, pop music, fashion, and publishing.
Even the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) made concessions the bases for underground activities, where they carried out publicity and party operations. After Sun Yat-sen passed on, Chiang Kai-shek — the rising political star of the Kuomintang (KMT) — was also found in Shanghai’s Bund area for a time, where he dabbled in stocks and shares, and held a grand wedding with Soong Mei-ling, one of the famous Soong sisters.
The early 1930s saw the US mired in the Great Depression, but for Shanghai, it was a golden era. The Bund and Nanjing Road (one of Shanghai’s main streets) were bright with neon lights and flowing with alcohol. And the glamour of Shanghai did not just make an impression on the Chinese; Westerners also considered Shanghai their sought-after Paris of the East.
On another note, Shanghai was the economic centre of the Nationalist government, and so it invested heavily in building up the city to boost the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta and the modernisation of the whole of China.
Urban warfare against the Japanese
However, this was also the period of Japanese military imperialism and invasion of China. To shift the international focus after they invaded Manchuria in September 1931, the Japanese started a fresh offensive in Shanghai in January 1932. For the first time, Westerners in Shanghai saw intense fighting break out in the city of Shanghai.
In July 1937, a full-blown war broke out between China and Japan. As the capital of the Nationalist government was in Nanjing, Japan gathered its troops in Shanghai which was close by. The Nationalist government knew its army was less mechanised than the Japanese, and chose to engage in urban warfare in Shanghai, using the city’s urban structures to obstruct the advance of the Japanese armoured troops. Shanghai city was seriously damaged.
The Chinese — both military and civilians — paid an enormous price, including human casualties and loss of property, for fighting back against the Japanese invasion. But it also proved to the international community that despite the strength of the Japanese army, they could not conquer China in the short term, or quell the fighting spirit of the Chinese.
Over three months of intense fighting, the Westerners in Shanghai generally sympathised with the Chinese, with Western media reporting extensively on the fighting between the Japanese and Chinese in Shanghai. However, the neutrality of Western governments was soon challenged. As Japan invaded large areas of China, there was a rising conflict with the interests of Western powers, leading to growing friction.
In December 1941, Japan launched the attack on Pearl Harbor, which brought Britain, the US, and France into the war. The Japanese troops in Shanghai immediately took over the Western concession areas and put the Westerners in concentration camps. Hollywood turned this piece of history into the movie Empire of the Sun; Christian Bale, its young star then, is now an A-lister.
The new Shanghai
After the Japanese surrender in 1945, prosperity returned to Shanghai, only for the CCP-KMT conflict to begin. In April 1949, CCP troops entered Shanghai — within the year, the People’s Republic of China was established.
While the Westerners did not leave immediately, they quickly felt that they were not welcomed by the CCP government. Over the next few years, they left this once-exhilarating city that they had enjoyed.
Shanghai itself also faced a tough challenge. The CCP was guided by Marxist and Leninist ideology at its core, and the objective of revolution was to turn China into a socialist country, meaning that capitalism had to go. Shanghai was the epitome of a capitalist city in China, which naturally made it one of the main cities that the CCP government wanted to transform.
In the 1950s, China embarked on many political movements to gradually change China’s economy from private-run to public-run. Shanghai’s capitalists were forced to give up their private enterprises to the government so that they became joint public- and private-run enterprises, and were subject to various political investigations.
In 1965, CCP chairman Mao Zedong started the proletariat Cultural Revolution, and in early 1966, China’s first large-scale Cultural Revolution mass gathering was held in Shanghai, organised by the CCP propaganda team in Shanghai on Mao's instructions; its main members subsequently became known as the Gang of Four.
In 1978, the CCP conference led by resurgent CCP leader Deng Xiaoping decided on the policy of reform and opening up, officially ending the Cultural Revolution. Given Shanghai’s previous open business culture, it immediately became a new engine in China’s economic development policies.
Forty years later, Shanghai has recovered its position as an international hub, even surpassing its status in the 1930s. The Chinese are anxious to restore Shanghai’s former glory, but are also facing the future with a mindset of innovation. The Shanghai story continues…

The Best from American Literature

Hawthorne and Literary Nationalism
Ned F. Doubleday
THE MOST obvious literary influence on Hawthorne is the work of Sir Walter Scott. Scott's influence on Hawthorne, in all its main aspects, has been recognized since G. E. Woodberry's Nathaniel Hawthorne. We now realize, too, that Hawthorne's early practice conforms to a critical demand that American materials be treated in the manner of Scott. Scott's work had a great influence on American literary theory in general, because it combined significantly with the patriotic nationalism of American writers and, as G. Harrison Orians has said, "converted the demand for nationalism into a quest for Scott-like ingredients in American life." By 1825 the success of this quest was apparent.
Hawthorne started out in his treatment of historical materials very much as current literary theory prescribed, but he developed away from and modified the theory which had directed his early work. To overlook the influence of current literary theory and fashion upon Hawthorne is to attribute to him an unwarranted isolation; to overlook the individuality of the treatment he gave quite ordinary materials is to miss something of his greatness as an artist. It is the purpose of this note to review the connections between Hawthorne's work and the contemporary desire for nationalistic fiction patterned after the work of Scott, and to discuss Hawthorne's final attitude toward the critical demand in which his work had its inception.
Hawthorne had been in college but one year when W. H. Gardiner, in some prefatory paragraphs to a review of Cooper's The Spy, stated the three great historical resources of the American fiction writer: the Colonial period, the Indian wars, and the Revolution. "What would not the author of Waverley," Gardiner asked, "make of such materials?" Ten years later, when Hawthorne was beginning to write for The Token, his first publication outside of Fanshawe and a few pieces for the Salem Gazette, the young Whittier was calling for the use of the same materials. Hawthorne makes important use of only one of these "three matters of American Romance," the Puritan material. W. C. Brownell has remarked, rather unaccountably, that Hawthorne's works "are thoroughly original, quite without literary derivation upon which much of our literature leans with such deferential complacence. Even the theme of many of them—the romance of Puritan New England—was Hawthorne's discovery." Actually, parallels in literary theory to Hawthorne's practice in his first period may be found as early as a Phi Beta Kappa address by William Tudor, which was printed in the second volume of the North American Review and which helps to mark the beginnings of a distinct New England literary consciousness. Writing almost prophetically at the beginning of Scott's career as a novelist, Tudor stated those characteristics of Scott's work which were to influence American literary theory and practice so deeply. Tudor says, speaking of the resources of American history for the fiction writer, that "Perilous and romantick adventures, figurative and eloquent harangues, strong contrasts and important interests, are as frequent in this portion of history, as the theatre on which these actions were performed is abundant in grand and impressive scenery." In this single sentence we see something of Hawthorne's early practice in the use of history: the perilous and romantic adventure of "The Grey Champion," the eloquent harangue of "Endicott and the Red Cross," the strong contrast of "The Maypole of Merry Mount," the important interest of "Howe's Masquerade." But it is perhaps more important that two of Tudor's four suggestions of specific historical incidents available for the writer are used by Hawthorne—the career of Ann Hutchinson, in "Mrs. Hutchinson" (1830), and the striking "incident mentioned by President Stiles ... of Dixwell, one of the regicides, suddenly emerging from his concealment, and by his presence animating an infant settlement ...," in "The Grey Champion" (1835), though changed to fit Hawthorne's purpose. John Neal, writing in Blackwood's in 1825, also suggests the life of Mrs. Hutchinson and the accounts of the regicide judges as story material, as well as "the female Quakers ... or the witches," the materials of "The Gentle Boy" and "Young Goodman Brown." Neal complains, indeed, of the pre-emption of the story of the regicide judge by Scott in Peveril of the Peak (1822). "The Grey Champion" particularly well illustrates the connection between Hawthorne's work and the literary climate about him, for in it Hawthorne is not only fulfilling Tudor's prescription, as three Americans had done before him, and almost certainly deriving (at least his title) from Peveril of the Peak, but also changing the traditional story—in which the "infant settlement" was imperiled by Indians—in order to combine it with the history of the resistance in Massachusetts to the government of Sir Edmund Andros. Just the year before the publication of "The Grey Champion," Rufus Choate, in an address called "The Colonial Age of New England," had made the resistance to Andros the prime example of the Colonial spirit of liberty, an example to be remembered and taught to succeeding generations.
The literary addresses of Rufus Choate are particularly interesting in reference to Hawthorne because Choate is so eloquently representative of the dominant trend in the critical theory of his time. An address delivered at Salem in 1833, called "The Importance of Illustrating New-England History by a Series of Romances like The Waverley Novels," sums up impressively the combination of a literary nationalism, natural enough to a new nation, with the influence of Scott. Orians has well called it "the finest expression" of the demand for a Scott-like national literature. It is Choate's contention that the writer of historical fiction vivifies and fills in for the imagination the story of the past, and that every lover of American literature would like, not one, but a thousand American Scotts. Moreover, the American fiction writer ought not only to preserve, but to make intelligible and to universalize history: he must accommodate "the show of things to the desires and needs of the immortal moral nature." Particularly is the Puritan past available for this purpose, and it should be exalted and made to represent an ideal spirit of liberty and nobility. Hawthorne's "The Grey Champion" is as perfect an exemplification of Choate's theory as could be desired; "Endicott and the Red Cross" (1838), is, but for one ironic paragraph, as much so. Hawthorne says the Grey Champion himself is "the type of New England's hereditary spirit," his march "the pledge that New England's sons will vindicate their ancestry"; he makes Endicott's "rending of the Red Cross from New England's banner the first omen of that deliverance which our fathers consummated after the bones of the stern Puritan had lain more than a century in the dust."
But there is an emphasis in Choate's theory from which Hawthorne makes a significant departure. He will not use the past only to glorify and idealize it. Choate's motives are worthy enough; he believes that historical fiction would foster a corporate imaginative life and reassemble "the people of America in one vast congregation": "Reminded of our fathers, we should remember that we are brethren." He urges a selection from the varied materials of history to achieve artistic unity; but he urges, too, a selection in which all that is regrettable in Puritan society be suppressed. The writer of historical fiction will neglect that large portion of history which "chills, shames and disgusts us." Choate makes explicit what he thinks unavailable in New England history: "The persecutions of the Quakers, the controversies with Roger Williams and Mrs. Hutchinson, the perpetual synods and ecclesiastical surveillance of the old times; a great deal of this is too tedious to be read, or it offends and alienates you. It is truth, fact; but it is just what you do not want to know, and are none the wiser for knowing." Choate would hardly have wished Hawthorne to include, in "Endicott and the Red Cross," the Wanton Gospeller's question, "Call you this liberty of conscience?" or the suggestion of an answer in the "sad and quiet smile" which "flitted across the mild visage of Roger Williams." Much less would Choate have had Hawthorne write "The Gentle Boy" or "Mrs. Hutchinson"—perhaps not even "The Maypole of Merry Mount," almost certainly not "Young Goodman Brown." While Hawthorne's work has the ethical emphasis in which Choate's theory is representative of the best in New England literary theory, Hawthorne comes, early in his career, to relegate history to background, and to be less interested in the picturesqueness of individual incident than in history as background for the development of a general, not specifically national, moral theme.
Hawthorne himself makes it plain that, in his maturity, his acceptance of the conventional doctrine for the use of American materials was limited. In 1846 Hawthorne reviewed W. G. Simms's Views and Reviews in American Literature, History and Fiction (New York, 1845), which has for its main theme a belated repetition of the familiar plea for an American literature that will use the materials of American history. Hawthorne's review represents his dislike for the bombastic generalization in which Simms is fairly typical of middle nineteenth-century literary theory in America. But Hawthorne's most important stricture on Simms's book suggests his own position concerning the use of historical material. For Hawthorne, historical background relieves, and at the same time gives perspective to, an ethical or spiritual theme. He says of Simms's book:
... we cannot help feeling that the real treasures of his subject have escaped the author's notice. The themes suggested by him, viewed as he views them, would produce nothing but historical novels, cast in the same worn out mould that has been in use these thirty years, and which it is time to break up and fling away. To be a prophet of Art requires almost as high a gift as to be a fulfiller of the prophecy. Mr. Simms has not this gift; he possesses nothing of the magic touch that should cause new intellectual and moral shapes to spring up in the reader's mind, peopling with varied life what had hitherto been a barren waste.
But it may very well be that Hawthorne's feeling that the mould of American historical fiction was outworn influenced his own departure, after The Scarlet Letter, from the field of historical fiction.
The mature Hawthorne found that his early admiration for Scott had become limited with the passing years and his changing concept of the function of literature. He was aware of a certain lack of depth in Scott which perhaps he consciously contrasts with his own seriousness. In "P's Correspondence" (1845), Hawthorne makes "P" say of Scott: "Were he still a writer, and as brilliant a one as ever, he could no longer maintain anything like the same position in literature. The world, nowadays, requires a more earnest purpose, a deeper moral, and a closer and homelier truth than he was qualified to supply it with." In the same sketch is included a characterization of Abbotsford (long before Hawthorne had seen it) and a judgment of Scott: "... that splendid fantasy ... which grew out of his brain and became a symbol of the great romancer's tastes, feelings, studies, prejudices, and modes of intellect. Whether in verse, prose, or architecture, he could achieve but one thing, although that one in infinite variety." Some years later in his account of a visit to Abbotsford in the English Notebooks, Hawthorne, after a description of Scott's collection of curios, is led to reflect on the lack in Scott's character that Abbotsford typifies. What he writes seems to be partly an unconscious reminiscence of the passage just quoted:
On the whole, there is no simple and great impression left by Abbotsford; and I felt angry and dissatisfied with myself for not feeling something which I did not and could not feel. But it is just like going to a museum, if you look into particulars; and one learns from it, too, that Scott could not have been really a wise man, nor an earnest one, nor one that grasped the truth of life; he did but play, and the play grew very sad toward its close. In a certain way, however, I understand his romances the better for having seen his house; and his house the better for having read his romances. They throw light on one another.
Yet Hawthorne confesses "a sentiment of remorse" for having visited the home of Scott "with so cold a heart and in so critical a mood,— his dwelling-place ... whom I had so admired and loved, and who had done so much for my happiness when I was young." He still cherishes Scott in "a warm place" and he anticipates rereading all his novels. Hawthorne may indeed have cherished Scott, for much of his work is to be regarded as a development in an American tradition which nourished itself on Scott.CHAPTER 2
Suggestions for Interpreting The Marble Faun
PERHAPS The Marble Faun is a novel which needs to be seen in a certain light to be fully revealed. Although Hawthorne has always had his admirers and defenders among literary critics, this novel has sometimes been selected for unfavorable comparison. Henry James, who so frequently penetrated to the core of Hawthorne's thought, set The Marble Faun at comparatively slight value among its author's novels. The faun he granted to be charming, but he said: "I think it a pity that the author should not have made him more definitely modern, without reverting so much to his mythological properties and antecedents, which are very gracefully touched upon, but which belong to the region of picturesque conceits, much more than to that of real psychology." James was regarding the romance in the light of cosmopolitan realistic novels, and under that light it did not show well. Granville Hicks has complained in The Great Tradition that Hawthorne wrote as if unaware of the stream of thought in his own day. But Hicks was regarding Hawthorne from a point of view which sees only that great literature cannot be written within our social framework; and examined for traces of socialism, the novel does not shine. Ludwig Lewisohn has called The Marble Faun a book "quite without bone or muscle, that is, acceptable intellectual or moral content." He was viewing it as the expression of a private, personal, unnaturally exaggerated sense of guilt in Hawthorne. So viewed, of course the novel is devoid of acceptable content—even of sense.
Now, Mr. Lewisohn tells us that Hawthorne's treatment of sin is different from a normal artist's treatment; and to define the difference, he uses a statement by Thomas Mann. "The difference between Hawthorne and the more normal artist is this," Mr. Lewisohn says, "that the latter dwells upon the process of creative justification of himself and, as Thomas Mann has pointed out, hence of mankind. Out of his need to justify himself he becomes servant and savior of his race and seeks constantly to 'justify the ways of God to man.' Hawthorne, on the contrary, was imprisoned with his feeling of guilt and impelled to state and restate it in tale after tale and romance after romance."
The best part of this passage is its statement that the normal artist conducts a creative justification of mankind. If we test Hawthorne's novel by this demand upon the artist, we may by this very definition find in The Marble Faun some bone or muscle, after all, some intellectual or moral content. In the process, we may even discover a connection between the faun and "real psychology" which escaped Henry James. We may find a content acceptable enough to warrant our saying that instead of being merely provincial, out of the stream of contemporary thought, or indicative of abnormality, The Marble Faun now shows itself "more definitely modern" than it seemed to James.
It has been asked before this whether "nature caught in the snare of guilt" is indeed the subject of The Marble Faun. Is not the subject, rather, nature improved by a share of guilt? This is a theme so daring that though it is reiterated, Hawthorne tempers it to the shorn lambs who may read it; Hilda is allowed to say, perhaps on behalf of the timid reader, that the idea is shocking.
Hawthorne is investigating for himself the nature of good and evil. He puts into Miriam's mouth the question whether the murder had not been a blessing in disguise, a means of education whereby the "simple and imperfect nature" of Donatello had been brought to "a point of feeling and intelligence which it could have reached under no other discipline." Kenyon warns her that she is tending towards "unfathomable abysses." But Miriam professes that "there is a pleasure" in such thoughts.

Happy Halloween to all ventwing.com readers! Hope all of you have a fun and safe night as we see children all dressed up, ready for gathering candy! And if you are planning to give out treats to your Halloween visitors tonight, you may be wondering if you have enough to go around. You also may be having a party or Fall Festival either tonight or over the upcoming weekend and need a sweet treat. The very answer can be found within your kitchen pantry when you make “Rainbow Popcorn Balls.”
This is a fun and eye-catching snack that will be fun to make and even more to give out. This is a treat that starts with a syrup made from corn syrup, sugar and orange gelatin, just as it comes from the box. It’s then combined with peanuts and popcorn. Then comes the fun part! You shape these into balls of desired size. They are now wrapped in cellophane, waxed paper or plastic wrap. If you would like to make these even more attractive, tie and orange or black ribbon around the closure of the wrap, just like you would for a candied apple. There you have it! A fun-to-eat snack that’s colorful for Halloween! These would also make neat party favors to give to each party guest.
In the recipe, it calls for orange gelatin. Make certain to use the regular gelatin and not the sugar-free version. You would need the extra sugar in the regular version to help the syrup cook correctly. You’ll also see that it calls for peanuts. These can be chopped or left whole, according to your personal preference. The original recipe calls for them to be chopped, but I’ve found that either way would be fine. It’s completely according to what you like.
Also, keep this recipe in mind for the upcoming Christmas season! You could make these with either the strawberry or cherry gelatin for red popcorn balls or lime gelatin for green ones. They’ll be very pretty and colorful! They would also make a nice sweet treat for youngsters, as well as party favors when you have parties this holiday season.
Last Halloween, I shared a cookie recipe that was for “Mock Macaroons”, which are cookies that taste much like a coconut macaroon. This would be a good recipe to “trick” people with! To get the recipe, follow this link:
Have a safe and Happy Halloween and have fun making these sweets with the youngsters before they go out tonight!
RAINBOW POPCORN BALLS
- 1 cup light corn syrup, such as Karo
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pkg. (3 oz.) orange gelatin (not sugar-free)
- 1/2 lb. peanuts, chopped
- 9 cups popped popcorn
Combine syrup and sugar in a saucepan and bring to boiling. Remove from heat and add the dry gelatin, just as it comes from the package. Stir until dissolved. Add the peanuts and pour over the popcorn, tossing to mix well. Shape into balls of desired size. Wrap in cellophane, waxed paper or plastic wrap. For decoration, tie an orange or black ribbon around the tie-off of each ball. Store in a tightly covered container.

While in Toledo in the spring of 1895, Henry A. Tobey solicited enough pledges of support to offer Dunbar money to attend college. Dunbar wrote to his mother immediately afterwards. "Dr. Tobey and his friends want to lend me 400 or 500 dollars to spend a year in Boston at Harvard. I am going to take it."
In the fall of 1895, Tobey again invited Dunbar to Toledo to read at the State Hospital. This reading was, by many accounts, a triumph. One can only imagine the scene: the crowded "amusement hall" of patients, some disturbed, some perhaps murmuring, attendants scurrying about trying to maintain decorum, invited dignitaries and guests seated separately, an atmosphere tense and heavy with pathos. A piano off to one side, played by Tobey's talented young daughter Alice. It was an evening with such emotional power for Dunbar that it prompted him to compose a poem on the spot. He is reported to have remembered the evening this way:
"…while in Toledo, Ohio, I consented to recite at an entertainment given for the Insane. Before the recital, I requested the organist to play for me cardinal Necoman's favorite hymn, "Lead Kindly Light." The music and words, rushed through my brain in so maddening a way, blinding me to all outside influences, surging through my very heart and soul, until I could stand it no longer. I rushed off to my room, jotted down the very words of this poem, "Lead gently". When I returned to the recital to take the place assigned me on the program, I brought with me my newly fledged poem and read it before the audience." (Nov. 25, 1897)
After this momentous evening, in conversation with his Toledo hosts, Tobey and Thatcher, Dunbar expressed his wish to publish a second book on his own ashe did his first. Tobey and Thatcher immediately offered to underwrite the publication on terms that were far more favorable than what the Dayton printer had given Dunbar for Oak and Ivy. With Tobey and Thatcher's help, Dunbar's new book, to be titled Majors and Minors, was contracted with Hadley & Hadley Printing Co. Hadley and Hadley was not the largest printer in Toledo; they operated out of four floors of a building at 136 Superior St. that was located next to a feed lot. Most of its business seemed to be in catalogue and poster printing and a literary book was probably a first for the firm. Perhaps it was chosen because its owners were known as "enterprising and progressive business men" and the company a "progressive one." Though everyone struggled to get out the 1,000 copies before Christmas in 1895, the book appeared a few months later.
Henry Tobey, acting more like the author than the producer, was so eager to get hold of the new poems in printed form that he went to Hadley and Hadley's office, grabbed an unbound volume, and began cutting away pages with his pocket knife. After Majors and Minors was printed, Dunbar tried to sell his books in Toledo, but met with great resistance, as most whites considered him a salesman or agent. Tobey tried to shield his friend from his failure as a salesman and apparently sold copies in advance to friends with instructions to pretend to buy the copies from Dunbar.

(UPDATE) More than a year after his military discharge in December 2020, EXO's Xiumin is finally releasing his long-awaited debut solo album in September.
Xiumin's agency, SM Entertainment, posted Thursday on its official social media accounts an exclusive report from the Korean news website, My Daily, confirming that "Xiumin is planning to release his first solo album at the end of September."
Kim Minseok -- his real name -- released his debut solo single "You" on SM Station following his military enlistment last May 2019.
While enlisted, the 32-year-old singer displayed not only his stunning vocals but his charismatic acting as he starred in the military musical together with Shinee's Onew and EXO's D.O. in separate years.
Xiumin is a member of EXO's sub-unit, EXO-CBX, together with Chen and Baekhyun.
The Guri-native ace appeared previously in various projects including a collaboration with NCT Mark on an SM Station song, "Young & Free."
He also starred in a leading role in one of the most watched web dramas in 2015, "Falling for Challenge." He sang the OST "You Are The One," his first solo song.
After his discharge from the military, Xiumin was tapped to sing the "Mr. Queen" OST, "To My One and Only You."
In August 2021, Xiumin portrayed as Orpheus in the Korean version of the multi-awarded musical "Hadestown."
Earlier in April this year, EXO celebrated its 10th year anniversary in a fan event in Jamsil Indoor Stadium in South Korea and was made available for international fans via online streaming.
Xiumin will be the 7th EXO member to make a solo debut album after Lay, Chen, Baekhyun, Suho, Kai and D.O.

Today is Mother’s Day in the US. Since 2020, I’ve had mixed feelings about Mother’s Day. This is due to the fact that my mom passed away in 2019, so it’s been quiet on this particular day. My family and I do go out to see her grave, to pay our respects to her, but that’s about it. Her passing still makes me sad (and I still tear up at the thought of her), but I know that she’s in a better place now, and that we’ll see each other someday in Heaven.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. I missed you every day. ❤
