Information on Hale siblings.

I went and dug farther into the lives of Nathan Hale’s siblings as I needed it for TUCUFM. I had information but I decided to go even deeper in some research. Next, I will be doing Benjamin Tallmadge’s siblings.

New Report Details Pervasive Culture of Racism at Bon Appétit: ‘Nowhere Have I Ever Felt More Isolated’

More than a dozen employees shared their experiences of working in the allegedly “toxic,” exclusionary culture of the food magazine. | Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images for Band of Outsiders

Published by Business Insider, the report describes a “toxic” workplace in which people of color are regularly sidelined, paid less, and tokenized

On June 8, Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport resigned from the publication after a photo resurfaced showing him and his wife dressed up as Puerto Ricans for Halloween. The photo, which circulated on Twitter, prompted employees and contributors to speak publicly about the culture of racial inequity that’s allegedly existed at Bon Appétit for years. The following night, on June 9, Business Insider published a report by Rachel Premack detailing how, beneath the Condé Nast food magazine’s glossy surface, lies a “toxic” culture of racism and exclusion, with more than a dozen former and current staffers of color detailing their experiences.

According to the report, sources described “a workplace that treats people of color as second class to white employees,” denying equal opportunities to nonwhite employees, excluding them from cliques at the magazine, and consistently failing to adequately tell diverse stories.

Ryan Walker-Hartshorn, Rapoport’s assistant since September 2017, told Business Insider that Rapoport has treated her like “the help” as the only Black woman on staff. She alleged that she not only had editorial duties, but also had to do tasks for Rapoport outside of her job description, including cleaning Rapoport’s golf clubs. Business Insider reports that Walker-Hartshorn went to human resources twice to request that Rapoport limit these personal errands and stop texting her on the weekend, but despite HR’s instructions to stop the texts, Rapoport allegedly continued.

Meanwhile, Walker-Hartshorn’s base salary of $35,300 stayed the same in her nearly three years at Bon Appétit — a scant annual pay for New York’s high prices, but unfortunately common in the magazine and publishing industry, which is notorious for barely livable early-career wages. Walker-Hartshorn told Business Insider that she asked Rapoport for a raise in early June, aware that her boss knew she hadn’t been able to pay rent for three months. Instead, according to Walker-Hartshorn, Rapoport told her, “Well, maybe you should consider that this is not the right job for you.” (On another occasion early in her tenure, Walker-Hartshorn alleged, Rapoport told her that he wanted his coffee “like Rihanna,” apparently in reference to the singer’s skin color.)

Bon Appétit’s wildly successful YouTube video efforts have also been rife with inequity, employees allege. Sohla El-Waylly, an assistant food editor, revealed in her Instagram stories on Monday that she has been “pushed in front of video as a display of diversity” without receiving compensation, as “only white editors are paid for their video appearances.” El-Waylly wrote that, despite her 15 years of professional experience, she accepted the role “to assist mostly white editors with significantly less experience” at a salary of $50,000. She told BuzzFeed News that soon she was asked to do a lot more work than just the recipe cross-testing that had been listed in the job description: “I was brought on to do this one job, and I’ve kind of taken on the role of a senior editor, contributing to all of the verticals in print and video.”

In case you’ve missed it: Not only is Sohla one of the only front facing Bon Appetit editors to denounce EIC Adam Rapoport doing brown face, apparently only white BA editors are paid for their video appearances. Here’s her Instagram story just now pic.twitter.com/h0uPMlJYHN

— Sarah Manavis (@sarahmanavis) June 8, 2020

El-Waylly also told BuzzFeed News that she was asked to “stand in the background of photo shoots and video shoots,” apparently to help bolster the brand’s appearance of diversity. Over the past 10 months, she has appeared in multiple videos, often participating in multi-staffer challenges or helping mostly white talent who headline their own shows, and thus are compensated through separate contracts with Conde Nast Entertainment. El-Waylly told Business Insider that she didn’t receive an on-air contract, despite asking Rapoport and video head Matt Duckor — who is himself facing criticism for unearthed tweets mocking people of color and queer people — on multiple occasions, until she publicly aired her issues on Monday. An hour later, Duckor sent her a contract that would add $20,000 to her now-$60,000 base salary, an offer that El-Waylly said she was “insulted and appalled” by, knowing what other on-camera coworkers allegedly make.

The diversity issues also extend beyond Bon Appétit’s videos, which have been criticized for their lack of nonwhite representation, as well as misrepresenting and appropriating the non-American and Eurocentric foods that they do show. “There have been calls for years to diversify the videos, to diversify the staff, to diversify the content, but nothing happens,” Rick Martinez, a Bon Appétit contributor and former senior food editor, told Business Insider. He said that he felt pressure to keep making food from his own Mexican American background, despite fears of being “pigeonholed.” Andrew Knowlton, a former deputy editor of the magazine, allegedly “once asked Martinez whether he was ‘a one-trick pony’ because of his focus on Mexican cuisine” and “told Martinez that his job developing Mexican recipes must have been easier because of his childhood eating his mother’s cooking,” Business Insider reported.

Sources also described an atmosphere of exclusion, with mostly “young, attractive, mostly white or white-adjacent … and upper-middle class” employees, some of whom were decidedly in the “in crowd” at the publication. “You see your coworkers every day of your life, and to go into work every day and feel isolated is misery-inducing … Nowhere have I ever felt more isolated than at Bon Appétit,” said Nikita Richardson, a Black former employee who now writes for New York magazine. She recalled a day in early 2017, when she and another nonwhite staffer, Alyse Whitney, had been in Bon Appetit’s famed test kitchen, chatting with two white staffers. They said that later that day, they received an email from Carla Lalli Music, then-food director and currently an editor at large, telling them and other staffers not to visit the test kitchen again without permission. But white staffers continued to go to the test kitchen, apparently without consequence, Whitney alleged.

working at bon appetit was one of the most emotionally damaging chapters of my life. thanks @rrpre for working to expose the toxic environment weeks before any of the news surrounding adam came out. https://t.co/uS5aRK8Gub

In response to Business Insider’s queries, Conde Nast refuted the claim that nonwhite video talent were “not paid for their work,” and wrote that the company has a “zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination and harassment in all forms.” In a staff meeting, the Daily Beast’s Max Tani reported, Conde Nast CEO Roger Lynch said that the company is “accelerating our first ever diversity and inclusion report” (n.b. Conde Nast has existed since 1909) to be published later this summer, and a pay-equity analysis, to be published at the end of the year.

On June 10, Bon Appetit and its sister brand Epicurious published an apology, stating:

We have been complicit with a culture we don’t agree with and are committed to change. Our mastheads have been far too white for far too long. As a result, the recipes, stories, and people we’ve highlighted have too often come from a white-centric viewpoint. At times we have treated non-white stories as “not newsworthy” or “trendy.” Other times we have appropriated, co-opted, and Columbused them. While we’ve hired more people of color, we have continued to tokenize many BIPOC staffers and contributors in our videos and on our pages. Many new BIPOC hires have been in entry-level positions with little power, and we will be looking to accelerate their career advancement and pay. Black staffers have been saddled with contributing racial education to our staffs and appearing in editorial and promotional photo shoots to make our brands seem more diverse. We haven’t properly learned from or taken ownership of our mistakes. But things are going to change.

What that change entails, according to the post, includes prioritizing people of color for the now-open role of editor-in-chief, implementing anti-racism training, resolving pay inequities, hiring more freelancers of color and launching columns written by people of color, shifting coverage to “center, rather than patronize” marginalized people, revamping the recipe development process, and more broadly, “dismantling the toxic, top-down culture that has hurt many members of our staff.”

“This is just the start. We want to be transparent, accountable, and active as we begin to dismantle racism at our brands,” the post reads.

Fall 2017: Week 6

blog post by ann (SFPC 2017)

It was yet another packed week for SFPC students as they enter the home stretch of the program. Students learned about loading and creating images in openFrameworks with Zach Lieberman, discussed privacy with Morehshin Allahyari and guest speaker Sarah Aoun, got their first taste of Arduino with Pam Liou, looked at computer generated books with Nick Montfort and still managed to squeeze in a microlecture by artist-in-residence Golan Levin, a lecture on Origami by TA Robby Kraft, and a sushi making dinner led by student Colin Wang! Phew!

Day 1: Images, Mosaics, and Ken Knowlton

Students started their week by discussing the programs they wrote exploring typography and repetition for the previous week’s homework.

Next, Zach gave lecture on artist and computer graphics pioneer Ken Knowlton. In 1963 while at Bell Labs, Knowlton developed a program called BEFLIX (Bell Flicks) that generated animated films using bitmap images. During his time at Bell, he worked closely with artists such as Stan VanDerBeek — using the BEFLIX to create Poemfields — and Lillian Schwartz — creating Pixillation with another Knowlton language called EXPLOR.

However, Knowlton is perhaps best known for his mosaic portraits, which use objects, images, or letters as tesserae.

To create his portrait mosaics, Knowlton developed an algorithm that would analyze the color and pattern of a given object and match it to a target image, and produce a mapping of tessera to his desired final image.

Zach used Knowlton’s work as a jumping off point to demonstrate loading and generating images in openFrameworks. In the image below, Zach maps the brightness of every tenth pixel in the original image (left) to the radius of a circle in the computer generated image (right).

Day 2: Privacy and Surveillance and Guest Speaker Sarah Aoun

Day 2 began with a lecture by guest speaker Sarah Aoun. Sarah is a data activist, operational security trainer, and programmer. Her work lies at the intersection of tech, human rights, and transformative justice. She’s collaborated with activists, journalists, grassroots social movements, and NGOs in the US and MENA region on digital security, ethical data & privacy, and data-driven storytelling. Sarah grew up in Lebanon and holds a B.A. in International Relations from Brown University.

Sarah talked about the history of surveillance and it’s roots in colonialism, empire, and the oppression of black and brown bodies. She discussed the origin of the fingerprint and how the first wide-scale use of the fingerprint was by the English in the mid-1800s on contracts made with locals in India. At the time, English colonists began requiring fingerprints on all contracts with locals not for any scientific purpose, but to “frighten [them] out of all thought of repudiating [their] signature.”

Sarah later talked about how surveillance is still closely tied to racism today. She discussed the use of floodlights in predominantly black neighborhoods in New York City, digital redlining on Facebook, and the problematic practice of predictive policing.

Later, two students, Kaitlin Schaer and Diego Salinas presented on the right to privacy and surveillance.

Day 3 (morning): Intro to Arduino

Day 3 was the students’ first class on Arduino with Pam Liou. Pam kicked things off with a lecture about microcontrollers. She explained that a microcontroller is a programmable chip. The Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that consists of a microcontroller (the hardware) and an IDE (integrated development environment — the software) that makes the chip easy to program and control.

Pam also talked about how information is sent to and from a microcontroller. When data is sent between two devices, in order for the receiver to know when a unit of data begins and ends, the two devices must establish a synchronization protocol. In other words, thetwo devices must agree on how to read the stream of data.

Pam then discussed two ways that this can be accomplished:

When data is transferred “synchronously,” the sender sends a clock signal alongside the data. This means a special line for the clock signal is required.

When data is transferred “asynchronously,” the sender and receiver agree on a data transfer speed prior to data transfer, and sync their own internal systems accordingly. In order to ensure accuracy, the sender and receiver need to re-sync their clocks periodically during the data transfer process which can slow the rate of transfer.

“Like a murder of crows or a swarm of bees, there are a byte of bits.” — Pam Liou

Finally, Pam led the students in several different intro Arduino sketches. She began with a blinking LED (the “hello world” of hardware), and then got everyone set up with a node.js server to test out sending and receiving data to the Arudino from the web.

Day 3 (afternoon): Microlecture on springs with Golan Levin, Origami with Robby Kraft, and Family Dinner!

After class with Pam, Golan delivered a microlecture on springs. As part of his time as an artist-in-residence at SFPC, Golan Levin has been giving a series of microlectures on everything from interactivity to easing functions.

According to Golan, springs are the essential element of interactivity and lifelike movement. Springs are endlessly useful, and can be combined in various ways to produce almost any movement desired.

SFPC TA Robby Kraft also gave a mini-lecture about his origami program, which he also delivered at this year’s Strangeloop conference. He talked about the history of origami software, and his journey from expert origami folder to origami designer.

“If you don’t invent a new technique then what you’re making probably isn’t new.” — Philip Glass

Lastly, SFPC student (and former sushi chef) Colin Wang taught students how to roll their own sushi. The results were delicious and didn’t last on the plate for very long!

Day 4: Computer Generated Books

For their second code poetry class with Nick Montfort, students started by discussing 280-character python programs they had written for homework. Together, they discussed the purpose and meaning of the program, and refactored the code in realtime.

Next, Nick shared a selection of computer-generated books from his collection. Students broke off into small groups which were each given a single text to examine and discuss. After a few minutes, the class reconvened to share what they had discovered. Books ranged from Update by Bill Kennedy and Darren Wershler-Henry which scrapes Facebook status updates to generate fictional “statuses” for deceased poets, to Nick’s Autopia which arranges car names into surreal statements.

Bonus! Trip to MIT for Processing Day

On Saturday October 21st, a group of students went to Processing Community Day at MIT Media Lab, organized by Taeyoon Choi. Among the presenters were Guillermo Montecinos, current student of SFPC.

And last but not least, more pictures and a video of Week 6 by Yumi Nishida!

How to Get an Illustration Rep

Working with an illustration rep might not be for everybody, but for those who are interested, an agent can be a great asset. But how does an illustrator go about finding a rep? Let’s discuss the ways your work can stand out from the crowd.

Become established

The first thing to note is that it can be difficult for someone just starting out in their career to find a rep. For the most part, agents are typically interested in taking on illustrators who have already established themselves to a certain degree. This doesn’t mean that you need to have worked for the highest profile clients in the world, but you do need to have some jobs under your belt. If you haven’t done any freelance work yet or have only worked for a few small clients, it might not be the time to do an agent search. Consider building up your client list and portfolio a bit first before pressing forward.

Be irresistible

Regardless of whether or not you’re established, finding a rep shouldn’t be any problem if you offer something so amazing that an agent knows he or she will be able to sell it. This could be:

A killer portfolio that’s marketable, unique.

An idea that an agent feels is so strong he or she wouldn’t have any problems finding a buyer, like an awesome children’s picture book, or a middle grade novel, or a unique product.

Enough promise and drive that an agent feels like the effort of nurturing your career would be worth the time and effort it would take him or her.

Get a referral

While most illustration reps have an open door policy towards submissions, you can find more success if your work comes to them through a friend. If you can get a referral from an associate who’s already represented by the same agency, do that before hitting the general “submit” button on an agent’s website. Your chances will be a lot better.

Don’t be a creep

Agent relationships are like every other kind of relationship in the world. If you come off like a nutcase who’s difficult to work with or you have unrealistic expectations, that can be a huge turnoff. When approaching agents, make sure to keep the ego in check and not seem like you’d be an overly demanding client who’d suck their time and energy. Have good work, a positive outlook, and a willingness to listen and learn.

Let them come to you

Finally, you might not even need to search for an illustration rep at all! If you focus on your work and building your brand, eventually—if your art gets enough exposure and is of outstanding quality—agents will seek you out instead. For many, that’s the best way to go about this process.

Final thoughts

One thing to note before you begin, though, is that, while we’ve discussed things you can do to find a rep, we haven’t actually talked about whether or not it even makes sense for you to have one.

Khám phá lịch trình bận rộn và thói quen hàng ngày của Tổng thống Hoa Kỳ Donald Trump

Khi thế giới đang biến động không ngừng, thành công của những người nổi tiếng luôn là đề tài mà nhiều người cảm thấy quan tâm. Thật khó để không dừng lại và thắc mắc rằng Tổng thống của đất nước mạnh nhất thế giới đã bắt đầu một ngày làm việc của mình như thế nào?

Theo báo cáo, Tổng thống Trump là người bắt đầu buổi sáng của mình rất sớm, ông thức dậy lúc 5h30 sáng và đôi khi ông bắt đầu các cuộc gọi vào lúc 6h sáng. Tờ CNN đưa tin, Tổng thống Donald Trump không sử dụng cà phê để thức dậy.

[caption id=“attachment_1097598” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] (Ảnh: Gerald Herbert/AP)[/caption]

Tổng thống Trump chỉ ngủ từ 3-4 giờ một đêm, đây là một trong những bí kíp được ông gọi là “Chiến thuật thành công”. Ông từng hài hước đùa rằng: “Làm thế nào một người nào đó ngủ từ 12 đến 14 tiếng một ngày lại nghĩ rằng có thể cạnh tranh với ai đó đang ngủ 3-4 tiếng?”

Mới đây, Axious đã cho đăng tải các bản sao lịch trình hàng ngày của Tổng thống Donald Trump, bản tin cho thấy ông dành gần 60% thời gian cho công việc “điều hành” trong suốt 3 tháng qua. Các khối thời gian này được lên lịch theo quyết định của tổng thống và không liệt kê các hoạt động cụ thể như việc gặp gỡ các nhân viên hành chính, tổ chức các nhà lãnh đạo thế giới. Theo Axios, đó là có thể là đọc tin tức, thực hiện các cuộc gọi,…

[caption id=“attachment_1097611” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] (Ảnh: Al Drago/Getty)[/caption]

Ông Trump cũng đăng tải rất nhiều bài đăng trên Twitter. Theo tính toán từ The Washington Post , khoảng một nửa số tweet của tổng thống trong những ngày mà Axios có được các tài liệu lịch trình - từ ngày 7/11/2018 đến ngày ½/2019, đã được gửi trước 11h sáng, và tất cả được thông báo là gửi đi từ chiếc điện thoại Android không bảo mật. Trong thời gian này, ông Trump cũng có thể xem kênh thể thao ESPN, đọc tiểu thuyết hoặc chơi trò World With Friends trên ipad của mình.

Trả lời về thói quen của ngài tổng thống, Thư ký báo chí Nhà Trắng, Sarah Huckabee Sanders viết rằng: “Thời gian buổi sáng của tổng thống là khoảng kết hợp giữa thời gian tại phòng nghỉ và phòng Bầu dục, nhưng ông ấy luôn có các cuộc gọi với nhân viên, các thành viên của Hill, thành viên nội các và các lãnh đạo nước ngoài trong thời gian này”.

[caption id=“attachment_1097599” align=“alignnone” width=“620”] (Ảnh: Chip Somodevilla /Getty)[/caption]

Dù không phải là người ưu tiên cho việc luyện tập thể dục thường xuyên nhưng ông Trump cũng chia sẻ với Reuter rằng: “Tôi có thể tập thể dục. Ý của tôi là đi bộ. Tôi có thể chạy sang tòa nhà bên kia. Tôi tập thể dục nhiều hơn mọi người nghĩ”. Ông Trump duy trì thói quen vận động của mình bằng cách chơi gôn, đó là môn thể thao yêu thích của ông.

Bữa sáng không phải là một phần thói quen của tổng thống, nhưng khi ông dùng bữa sáng, ông chia sẻ rằng: “Món yêu thích của tôi là thịt xông khói và trứng, chúng thật tuyệt!”

Mặc dù nhiều nhân viên giám đốc đã cố gắng rút ngắn thời gian rảnh của Tổng thống Trump xuống, nhưng ông vẫn tiếp tục duy trì thói quen cũ của mình như khi chưa đến Nhà Trắng là sử dụng buổi sáng của mình để “tweet” những tin tức quan trọng của Fox News trước khi bắt đầu ngày mới vào lúc 11h sáng.

[caption id=“attachment_1097605” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Tổng thống Donald Trump thường “chính thức” bắt đầu công việc của mình vào lúc 11h. (Ảnh: Evan Vucci/AP)[/caption]

Vào mỗi ngày, Tổng thống Trump sau đó sẽ nhận được một tập những tin tức quan trọng mới nhất từ Ủy ban Quốc gia Cộng hòa. Theo báo cáo, 3 nhân viên sẽ bắt đầu công việc của họ vào lúc 6h sáng bằng việc theo dõi TV, báo chí, Internet trên các phương tiện truyền thông và gửi báo cáo tới Nhà Trắng cứ 30 phút/ lần.

Tổng thống Trump sau đó dự kiến sẽ rời phòng làm việc phía Cánh Tây và bỏ qua phần lớn các cuộc họp giao ban tình báo hàng ngày. Trước đây, ông đã phá vỡ quy định cũ bằng cách bỏ qua các Bản tóm tắt hàng ngày của Tổng thống. Nhiều nguồn tin cho hay, ông thích báo cáo bằng miệng.

[caption id=“attachment_1097603” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] (Ảnh: Robert Nickelsberg / Getty)[/caption]

Mỗi ngày đều diễn ra những sự kiện và cuộc họp mặt khác nhau, nhưng luôn có một khoảng thời gian xác định có mặt Ngài tổng thống là quãng “thời gian điều hành” - khoảng thời gian chiếm phần lớn lượng thời gian làm việc hàng ngày của ông. Nó kéo dài trong 2h45’. “Thời gian điều hành” này không bao gồm các cuộc họp hay sự xuất hiện chính thức của Tổng thống Trump. Chánh văn phòng John Kelly cho biết, “thời gian điều hành” đã được thiết lập sau khi ông Trump cho rằng ông không có nhiều thời gian để suy nghĩ.

[caption id=“attachment_1097601” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] Tổng thống Donald Trump ăn tối cùng các thống đốc trong Phòng Xanh ngày 21/5/2017 tại Nhà Trắng. (Ảnh: Mark Wilson/Getty)[/caption]

Việc ăn trưa với các quan chức khác là công việc thông thường nhưng không phải thường xuyên của tổng thống. Ông Trump thường ăn tối cùng các vị khách theo sự lựa chọn của ông vào cuối ngày tại Nhà Trắng vào lúc 6h30 chiều.

Khác với thói quen của cựu Tổng thống Obama, ông Trump hiếm khi ăn tối tại Washington, Bussiness Insider đưa tin rằng ông thường ăn tối tại Nhà Trắng hoặc nhà hàng bít tết của Khách sạn Trump. “Tôi có thể mời bất kỳ ai ăn tối, và họ sẽ đến”, Tổng thống Trump nói với một người bạn cũ sau khi ông nhậm chức.

[caption id=“attachment_1097604” align=“alignnone” width=“649”] Tổng thống Trump trong lễ khai trương Trump Steak tại The Sharper Image. (Ảnh: Stephen LovekinWireImage for Hill & Knowlton/Getty)[/caption]

Những lựa chọn yêu thích của ông Trump cho bữa tối bao gồm: Bít tết, bánh mỳ thịt và Diet Coke - một loại thức uống giảm cân của hãng Coca. Ông Trump có một khẩu phần tráng miệng là 2 muỗng kem trong khi mọi người đều được phục vụ 1 muỗng cho mỗi phần.

Vào cuối tuần, ông Trump thích chạy xe 25 dặm tới câu lạc bộ sân gôn yêu thích của mình tại Sterling, Virginia để giải trí. Ông từng chia sẻ rằng, ông rất đam mê chơi gôn cùng những đối tác và đồng nghiệp của mình. Với tư cách là tổng thống, ông đã có tới hơn 166 lần tới thăm câu lạc bộ của mình.

[caption id=“attachment_1097617” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] “Tôi yêu gôn”. (Ảnh: Andy Buchanan/AFP/Getty)[/caption]

Đối với những kỳ nghỉ lễ dài hơn, ông có thể cùng gia đình đến khu nghĩ dưỡng Mar-a-Lago bên bờ biển Palm Beach. Theo truyền thống, ông thường tổ chức một bữa tiệc đêm giao thừa tại đây.

Thư ký báo chí Nhà Trắng, Sarah Huckabee Sanders chia sẻ:

Tổng thống là một trong những công dân chăm chỉ nhất mà tôi từng thấy, ông làm việc trong nhiều giờ và những ngày dài trong tuần kéo dài suốt cả năm. Nhiều phóng viên từng ước ông ấy có thể chậm lại vì họ gặp khó khăn trong việc theo kịp ông.

Dù không phải là người ưu tiên cho việc luyện tập thể dục thường xuyên nhưng ông Trump cũng chia sẻ với Reuter rằng: "Tôi có thể tập thể dục. Ý của tôi là đi bộ. Tôi có thể chạy sang tòa nhà bên kia. Tôi tập thể dục nhiều hơn mọi người nghĩ". Ông Trump duy trì thói quen vận động của mình bằng cách chơi gôn, đó là môn thể thao yêu thích của ông.

As Saudi Arabia Destroys Religious Sites, One Rights Group Seeks to Save a Culture - MIDDLE EAST, OPINION

New Post has been published on https://citizentruth.org/as-saudi-arabia-destroys-religious-sites-one-rights-group-seeks-to-save-a-culture/

As Saudi Arabia Destroys Religious Sites, One Rights Group Seeks to Save a Culture

Saudi Arabia is destroying religious and cultural sites across the country, but one group, the Al Baqee Organization, is fighting to preserve a heritage.

October is not a good month for Saudi Arabia … but then again the Kingdom somewhat had it coming if we consider the violence it has so freely dispensed over the decades. If Saudi Arabia managed to buy loyalties and influence – none stronger than that extended by the United States of America – Riyadh’s systematic disregard for human rights, nations’ sovereignty, and international law, are pushing many to reconsider their positions.

As the Associated Press puts it:

“The kingdom long has been known to grab rambunctious princes or opponents abroad and spirit them back to Riyadh on private planes. But the disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi, who Turkish officials fear has been killed, potentially has taken the practice to a new, macabre level by grabbing a writer who could both navigate Saudi Arabia’s byzantine royal court and explain it to the West.”

The alleged murder of writer Jamal Khashoggi is of course but a small example of the cruelty of a regime which barbarism has been emboldened by our collective silence – a silence rooted in greed since it was bought to the tune of billions of dollars.

Saudi Arabia’s lobbying activities took to new heights in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 when news transpired that 15 out the 19 terrorists were, in fact, Saudi citizens.

To protect its interests and avoid answering uncomfortable questions as to the doctrine of Wahhabism/Salafism it has imposed as ‘state religion’ on its citizens, the Kingdom went on to buy the world’s good graces. To better smooth corners and deflect blame away from its fanaticism – the fanaticism that remains the so-called Islamic radical outfits’ main ideological inspiration, Riyadh spent a reported $100 million over the next decade to improve public perceptions and retain influence in the U.S. capital.

A detailed report published in the Atlantic gives an overview of Saudi Arabia’s lobbying activities. It reads:

“A quick review of the FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) database, which is where lobbyists who advocate for foreign countries must announce themselves, shows that, among other Washington firms, Hill & Knowlton, Inc. has been lobbying for Saudi Arabia from 1982 until at least 2009. Qorvis Communications, LLC has received $60.3 million in Saudi money over the past decade, and is still doing communications work for Riyadh. Hogan Lovells U.S., L.L.P., which was called Hogan & Harston until May of this year, did work for the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in 2009. The Saudis paid the Loeffler Group, LLP, $10.5 million over the past 10 years, and gave Sandler Innocenzi, Inc. $8.9 million. Patton Boggs, LLP, another lobbying firm, also continues to do work for Saudi Arabia, and has earned a little over $3 million over the past decade.”

Riyadh’s push on Capitol Hill went into overdrive in 2015 after U.S. President Barack Obama decided to break bread with Iran by signing the now scrapped Nuclear Deal. The move that did not please Saudi Royals in the least as they view Iran as their arch enemy, mainly on the basis that they do not share Riyadh’s religious worldview.

To describe Saudi Arabia’s buying spree Ben Freeman writes:

“In 2016, according to FARA records, they reported spending just under $10 million on lobbying firms; in 2017, that number had nearly tripled to $27.3 million. And that’s just a baseline figure for a far larger operation to buy influence in Washington, since it doesn’t include considerable sums given to elite universities or think tanks like the Arab Gulf States Institute, the Middle East Institute, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (to mention just a few of them).”

Risking Life and Freedom to Speak Out Against Saudi Arabia

Speaking against Saudi Arabia has become an almost impossible feat. Speaking against Saudi Arabia also entails some degree of danger as the Kingdom often resorts to violence to silence those voices it cannot coerce. If you recall, only weeks before Riyadh was lauded for finally allowing women to drive – what a breakthrough! – Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the arrest of several women’s rights activists including internationally recognized women’s rights activist Samar Badawi.

“The arrests of Samar Badawi and Nassima al-Sadah signal that the Saudi authorities see any peaceful dissent, whether past or present, as a threat to their autocratic rule,” warned Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch in August 2018.

She added: “After the recent arbitrary arrests of businesspeople, women’s rights activists, and reformist clerics, Saudi Arabia’s allies and partners should question what ‘reform’ really means in a country where the rule of law is disdainfully ignored.”

Indeed … many things in Saudi Arabia are perceived as direct attacks to Al Saud’s absolute rule, and all offenses are punishable by death.

Saudi Arabia’s Attempt to Eradicate History

But there is an aspect of Saudi Arabia’s intolerance that remains seldom talked about – that of religious and cultural persecution.

Under the direction of Al Saud’s clergy, so that the Wahhabism doctrine would never be challenged throughout the Islamic World, the Kingdom architected the destruction of all religious and cultural sites – thus denying a people and a faith their History.

If we do nothing Islam will be what Saudi Arabia dictates it is in just a few decades – the thought warrants a deep pause if we consider that all self-professed Islamic radicals claim Wahhabism/Salafism as their matrix.

Wahhabism/Salafism although posited as a legitimate interpretation of the Scriptures is in fact not a recognized school of thought, it sits as an aberration over 1.6 billion people by the virtue of the money it wields, the governments it owns, and the guns it points at its detractors.

In 2014 Carla Power published for the Times an exposé on Saudi Arabia’s “wider government campaign to rub out historical and religious sites across the Kingdom.”

She writes: “Over 98% of the Kingdom’s historical and religious sites have been destroyed since 1985, estimates the Islamic Heritage Research Foundation in London… In recent years, the twin forks of Wahhabi doctrine and urban development have speared most physical reminders of Islamic history in the heart of Mecca. The house of the Prophet’s first wife, Khadijah has made way for public toilets.”

Al Baqee Organization Defends Religious Heritage

Silence was broken this October on the floor of the United Nations Human Rights in Geneva and the United Nations headquarter in New York, as myself and other members of the Al Baqee Organization, a grassroots not-for-profit dedicated to the defense of religious freedom and the protection of the world religious heritage, broke the status quo by demanding that Saudi Arabia be held accountable for its many and grave cultural and religious violations.

As per the UNESCO’s mandate: “Safeguarding and promoting cultural heritage in all its forms – tangible and intangible, cultural and natural, movable and immovable – are key to achieving dialogue, sustainable development and social cohesion.” Saudi Arabia has systematically and, as a matter of state policy, hacked away at such heritage so that it could imprint its worldview.

For the first time since Al Saud rose kings over Arabia, Muslims are speaking up against the abuses the silent and silenced majority has had to endure over the decades and centuries, so that they could be freed of the yoke of intolerance and fanaticism.

The Mac-Haydn Theatre, celebrated for its spectacular musical revivals, opened its 50th season with the Tony-award winning Damn Yankees. The performance delivered on its promise of outstanding singer/dancers directed (by John Saunders) and choreographed (by Brian Knowlton) to a fare-thee-well.

Damn Yankees first opened in 1955, written by George Abbott and Douglas Wallop, based on Wallop’s novel: The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant. Abbott directed, Bob Fosse choreographed, and Richard Adler and Jerry Ross wrote the music (as they had for Pajama Game). The producers sought a female dancer for the leading lady and eventually settled on Gwen Verdon, a dancer who had only sung one song in her previous show: Can-Can. Bob Fosse took a chance with her, Verdon won a Tony for her performance and they married in 1960. A 1994 Broadway revival with Bebe Neuwirth was also awarded a best musical Tony.

The show is set in the mid-1950s, during a stretch when the New York Yankees won the American League pennant virtually every year. In a retelling of the Faust legend, the middle-aged Joe Boyd (Steven Hassmer), disgusted with his beloved Washington Senators’ terrible record, screams: “I’d sell my soul for one long ball hitter.” Presto! The devil—Mr. Applegate (Mark Hardy) arrives amidst a red cloud of smoke, and proposes that he convert the Senators into champions by changing Boyd into young phenom Joe Hardy (Michael Brennan). Boyd cannot resist this temptation, but he insists on an escape clause that will allow him to return to his normal life and loving wife (Julie Galorenzo) if chooses to do so by the end of the baseball season. Fearing that Joe will slip through his fingers, Applegate employs his lovely seductress, Lola (Corrinne Turk) to seal the deal. And will he abandon his wife for the siren Lola?

The production values are top notch, as we have come to expect from the Mac-Haydn Theatre. The number and style of period costumes (by Jimm Halliday) are amazing, especially considering that this is only the first show of the season. The three-piece suits in white or black with touches of red designed by Halliday for Applegate are stunning as are Lola’s outfits. The lighting (by Andrew Gmoser) creates magical moments from moonlight and stars, to blinking blubs ringing the ceiling, to the darkness of the denizens of hell. Musical director David Maglione provides his own kind of magic, with the few instruments sounding like a full orchestra. Music accompanies actors dressed as movers while they effortlessly relocate set pieces onto and off of the stage, as designed by Kevin Gleason, including an upstage platform representing the Boyds’ home. Saunders and Knowlton keep the action moving from beginning to end, with some thirty performers charging headlong, in and out and through the aisles.

Because the stage is so tiny, the aisles must stay clear, which means the performance cannot begin until everyone is seated in this theatre-in-the round. Many audience members, some with walkers, canes, and wheelchairs, are transported by bus from senior residences so it takes a good deal of time to seat everyone both at the beginning and after intermission. This can be a challenge in a show as long as Damn Yankees, running two and a half hours with an additional 25 minute intermission.

While some of the songs have become standards, such as: “You Gotta Have Heart,” and “Whatever Lola Wants,” others, perhaps less well-known, can be rollicking, like the hoedown in “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, MO,” wonderfully comic (“The Game”) when the players force themselves to think about the game instead of their girlfriends, or moving, as in the ballads “Goodbye, Old Girl,” sung by Hassmer, and “Near to You,” a duet with Brennan and Galorenzo. All of the singers have strong voices in this production but these three are standouts.

Having seen the original Broadway production of Damn Yankees as a child, I was anxious to return to it after all these years. But the script doesn’t hold up as well as I remembered: in this age of #metoo, it is difficult to watch the sexy Lola be foisted on the young Joe. It is unclear why Applegate tries to undermine his protégé by creating a scandal that seemingly prevents the devil from adhering to his part of the bargain. And that first act could definitely benefit from some cutting of songs and reprises that don’t further the plot.

But outstanding performances make up for deficiencies in the script: Mark Hardy is a smart and smarmy devil, setting just the right tone for Applegate; Galorenzo and Hassmer are a convincing middle-aged couple—the counterpoint in their song “Six Months Out of Every Year” is a joy to see and hear, as Hassmer rages about his team’s loss; Brennan makes it easy for us to accept him as Joe’s younger self with his combination of enthusiasm and wistfulness; Corrinne Turk is a fine singer/dancer as Lola; Doris (Emma Flynn) and her sister (Maggie Eley) playing neighborhood women as comic caricatures, are welcome additions to the plot; Gabe Belyeu as Van Buren, the team’s manager and Monk Schane Lydon, as the owner, with his gravelly voice and cigar are a perfect duo; and Megan Hasse as Gloria Thorpe, the reporter, shines.

Look for Funny Girl in June, Mac-Haydn’s next musical extravaganza. Count on this theatre to do it justice!

DAMN YANKEES runs from May 24-June 3 on Thursdays at 2 & 8; Fridays at 8, Saturdays at 4 & 8, Sundays at 2 & 7 and during the second week on Wednesday at 2 at The Mac-Haydn Theatre. Tickets may be purchased online at www.machaydntheatre.org or call 518-392-9292.

The Mac-Haydn Theatre presents DAMN YANKEES by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop. Directed by John Saunders. Cast: Steven Hassmer (Joe Boyd), Michael Brennan (Joe Hardy), Julie Galorenzo (Meg Boyd), Mark Hardy (Applegate), Maggie Eley (Sister), Emma Flynn (Doris), Gabe Belyeu (Van Buren), Megan Hasse (Gloria Thorpe), Monk Schane Lydon (Welch), Corrinne Turk (Lola) and others. Choreographer: Brian Knowlton; Musical Director: David Maglione; Costume Design: Jimm Halliday; Scenic Design: Kevin Gleason; Lighting Design: Andrew Gmoser; Sound Design/Audio Engineer: Monica Gonzales-Burgos; Stage Manager: Sarah Kozma.

Running Time: three hours including a 25 minute intermission; The Mac-Haydn Theatre, 1925 Route 203, Chatham, NY; Wednesdays (second week only) through Sundays from 5/24; closing 6/3.
