Benedict’s Real Gambit
Pope Benedict’s recent kindly invitation to disaffected Anglicans came across to many as a blitz from the blue, but it really shouldn’t have. Whether on the individual or congregational level, various and sundry Protestant groups of a persistently Roman hue, especially Lutherans and Episcopalians, have made the pilgrimage to Rome on their own, without any special prompting from the Vatican. The thing that surprises in this case, I suppose, is that Rome had never spelled out the process quite s

The Secretary Has Landed! *updated*
Dipnotes is reporting she is wheels down in Nairobi and AFP correspondent, Shaun Tandon , just tweeted that the motorcade has sped away. I think Shaun is going to be my new best friend for the next two weeks- he just doesn’t know it yet. It’s all good Shaun, we’ll make ‘ya famous! Heh. Oh, I almost forgot, I have another new best friend [who also doesn't know it yet, won't they be surprised!], Justin Hartman - he started an amazing Africa news aggregator site, Afrigator, and will have t

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe In The NYT
I’ve been looking forward to Christopher Caldwell’s new book and positive reviews like this one from Fouad Ajami makes me think I need to go out and buy it.In his “Reflections on the Revolution in Europe,” Christopher Caldwell, a meticulous journalist who writes for The New York Times Magazine and other publications, gives this subject its most sustained and thoughtful treatment to date. The question of Islam in Europe has occasioned calls of alarm about “Eurabia,” as well as works of evasion a

A new genetic study of dogs suggests that they were first domesticated in Africa, and not East Asia, as had been thought.A field school at a self-sufficient medieval monastery in County Meath, Ireland, unearthed a deep defensive ditch and a thirteenth-century foundation. Waste near the foundation included animal bones and oyster shells, leading investigators to believe the building was a guest house, since the monks only ate fish. Coastal erosion threatens Skara Brae, a Neolithic village in Ork

Apella Resources – Aggressive Speculators Take Note!
INTRODUCTION Vanadium is a unique strategic metal that is often in high demand but short supply. Currently, with worldwide stocks declining, the race is on to find new sources. However, nearly all the new potential areas where Vanadium can be extracted are located in politically unstable or logistically remote regions. A junior resource firm laying claim to potentially some of the largest Vanadium deposits on earth, all of which are located in politically secure Quebec, Canada, is Apella Res
Australian terror raid: Are terrorists created by Somali nationalism?
NO! Their marching orders are from Allah! That is not exactly what this Reuters update on the Somalis (and Lebanese) arrested in Australia yesterday is all about, but that is the part I want to emphasize here. The Reuters story begins: LONDON (Reuters) – Australia’s arrest of four suspected attack plotters said to have links to a Somali group may suggest radicalized veterans of war in the Horn of Africa are willing to return to the diaspora to strike Western targets. The four, all A
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Africa: the 'Super Size Me' tour
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has returned to Africa for an 11-day, seven-country tour of the continent. I use the term “returned to Africa” because Hillary Clinton has been to Africa before, most recently accompanying President Obama during his visit to Egypt in May and in her role as the U.S. ‘First Lady’ during former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s administration. Some readers may not remember the 1997 whirlwind tour through Africa by Hillary Clinton together with her daughter

Even Mainstream Media: Revolution is in the Mix
Fresh out of the Revolutionary Work in Our Times conference (Chicago, July 31-August), a quote in the british blog, Penny Red, caught my eye :“You know what? I’m sick of being lied to. I’m sick of accepting a shitty deal for myself and my loved ones because I’m told that it can’t be any different. I’m sick of swallowing nonsense from a nominally liberal government that refuses to tax the wealthy to fund decent healthcare and welfare for people on the ground and yet comes up with untold billions
‘Making of’ videos are great tool for marketing books
Nature and conservation photographer Ian Shive is launching a new book, The National Parks: Our American Landscape , in August and has created a series of short webisodes to help promote it. The videos even got picked up by Current TV, bringing his work to the channel’s 50 million US households. Ian explains how the episodes fit into his marketing plan and how they convince people to pick up, and purchase, his book. Miki Johnson: Let’s talk a little bit about your book. Ian Shiv
