Havana, Cuba, was also interested, but PASO appeased Fidel Castro, who had threatened to boycott the games, by agreeing to give Havana the 1991 games provided that Cuba participated at Indianapolis.

Cuba was a communist dictatorship with little regard for human rights and was widely reviled in the U.S.

But it had a terrific baseball team and fine boxers in every weight class.

That put Indianapolis in a tough spot as the city planned for one of the biggest moments in its history, hosting the 1987 Pan American Games.

The games' opening ceremony was Aug. 8, 1987, 30 years ago Tuesday.

Cuban athletes were perennial Pan Am Games powerhouses.

The Cuban baseball team hadn't lost a Pan Am game since 1967.

But Cuba had been the enemy of the U.S. since 1959 when the Soviet-friendly Fidel Castro overthrew Cuba's U.S.-friendly government.

If Cuban teams came now to the U.S., to Indianapolis, there'd be security headaches and maybe even international-level trouble.

But if the Cubans didn't come — they were threatening a boycott because they had wanted to host the '87 games — the games would be uninteresting and nobody, not network TV or other media, would pay much attention to them, or to Indianapolis.

Cold War politics and sports was a thrilling mix, and these games — 38 nations, 36 sports, 4,500 athletes — were to be Indianapolis' big debut on athletics' main stage, an important part of the city's long-term strategy to remake its blah image and fashion itself a "sports capital."

Also, pragmatism aside, "international sporting events like the Olympics, like the Pan Am Games, are supposed to be above politics," said Mark Miles, who was president of Indianapolis' organizing committee, called PAX-I.

"Boycotts are inconsistent with their aims."

Cuba was essential either way you looked at it.

So Miles and a small contingent from PAX-I traveled to Havana on a mission to change Castro's mind about the boycott.

"We were treated royally," Miles said 30 years later.

"They showed us all around, they took us to Cuban baseball games and gave us Cuban baseball uniforms."

But two days into the visit, when it was nearly time to go home, the Hoosiers were no closer to their goal.

Then: "Midnight, the night before departure, there's a knock on the hotel door," said Miles, "and we're told, 'You're wanted for a meeting.'

We go down to the lobby, get into a Russian car and are driven to the Palace de la Revolucion.

We went up an elevator and into a holding room and cooled our heels for about 20 minutes.

"We go down a hall, and we are in Fidel Castro's office, and he's standing in full uniform, greeting us."

"The meeting was about three hours, 20 minutes," Miles said, "and he spoke for three hours and 10 minutes of it."

Castro wanted to talk about baseball and as he was the only dictator in the room, baseball was talked about.

"I remember thinking, 'Here we are, with Fidel Castro, and there's so much at stake,'" said Sandy Knapp, PAXI-I's vice chairman, "and we're having this elaborate conversation about metal bats versus wooden bats

Knapp remembers Castro's hands and how they contrasted with the rest of him.

He was 6-2 and was wearing what he often wore in photographs, olive-drab battle fatigues, the pants tucked into big black boots.

But his hands, while "large, man-sized," were also "manicured, smooth, so … artistic."

Castro and Miles connected when Castro observed that Miles was young for such an important assignment.

Miles, who was 30 at the time, said: "I'm about the age you were when you took Havana."

Castro softened his stance on the boycott, and after being assured the games would be televised in Cuba and that the next Pan Am Games, in 1991, would be held in Havana, he agreed to send his athletes to Indianapolis.

At that moment, the development seemed like a blessing.

"We knew trouble was going to come," said Paul Annee, who was Indianapolis' police chief in 1987, "but to the extent it did was a bit surprising."

At the opening ceremony — 80,000 spectators, Vice President George H.W. Bush, the International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch, CBS Sports broadcasting live — a small airplane came into view.

It was towing a banner urging Cuban athletes to defect.

Castro's fiercest critics were former Cubans who'd escaped his regime and fled to south Florida.

In August 1987, dozens of angry Cuban expats descended on Indianapolis to take advantage of a rare opportunity to confront their tormentor, if only by proxy, through his athletes.

Cuban teams hadn't competed in the U.S. since Castro came to power.

It was the expats who hired the airplane.

It was they who the next day at a baseball game at Bush Stadium between Cuba and the Netherlands Antilles taunted the Cuban players and hurled leaflets offering defectors cash.

In the melee that followed, a bystander was injured and had to be taken to the hospital, but Indianapolis police prevented an all-out brawl by grabbing the Cuban ballplayers and preventing them from wading into the seats.

Later, in a game against Puerto Rico, several Cubans made it into the stands and were climbing toward hecklers when police restrained them.

Police were slower to react at a boxing match at the Indiana Convention Center.

Witnesses told the Indianapolis Star that as many as a dozen Cuban pugilists "rushed into the stands and struck (anti-Castro) demonstrators who taunted them."

Light heavyweight Pablo Romero, who'd defeated Evander Holyfield in the 1983 Pan Am Games, "was seen pummeling a man as other Cuban boxers, all wearing bright red warmup suits with blue and white stripes, appeared to join the fray," the Star wrote.

And: "Police said they could not estimate how many people were involved in the melee, but possibly 100 spectators were affected."

"We wanted to be proud of hosting the Pan Am Games," said Annee.

"We didn't want our city to be placed on the map for hosting something that got out of hand.

We absolutely did not want a political event.

Manuel Gonzalez Guerra, 73, Cuba's top sports official, who had himself been verbally accosted in the elevator of his hotel, publicly asked the game's organizers to keep the anti-Castro Cuban-Americans away from the competitions.

Annee had a sit-down with Guerra's security chief, Armando Giurolo.

"Armando said, 'We know and you know who the troublemakers are.

Why don't you get them and lock them up until the games are over?'

"I had to tell Armando, 'We do things differently here.'"

A bad U.S.-Cuba vibe wasn't the only potential source of unrest for the 1987 Pan Am Games.

Central America was in a state of turmoil.

Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala were fighting civil wars.

Governments in Honduras and Chile were rounding up, torturing and killing dissidents by the thousands.

All those countries sent teams to Indianapolis.

"A couple days before the opening ceremony, an undersecretary of state tells us, 'A horrible mistake has been made,'" said Miles.

The U.S. State Department had intended to deny visas to two Chilean athletes but somehow forgot.

"So it turns out we have a Chilean equestrian and a Chilean shooter who are both part of the Chilean military that our government views as assassins," Miles said.

"I believe they stayed and participated."

But they didn't assassinate anybody, and by the third week of the games, the Cuban hostilities had cooled.

Miles credited a call to the Reagan White House, which then pressured the anti-Castro organizations in Miami to cease.

The Pan Am Games hummed along in its final days without incident.

PAX-I had hired Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine to perform at the closing ceremony.

She and her family had fled the country when Castro came to power.

Her father had remained and been imprisoned.

PAX-I officials said they hired Estefan only because she was an entertainer sure to please the athletes.

Her album, "Let It Loose," released two months earlier (the hit was "Rhythm is Gonna Get You"), went platinum.

The Cubans, offended nevertheless, threatened to boycott the closing ceremony.

Their protest came down to this: They refused to dance.

The Cubans had won 175 medals, 75 of them gold.

In baseball, the Cubans beat the Americans in the gold medal game, 13-9 (after trailing 9-8 in the sixth inning).

Indianapolis had a lot to celebrate: Run by a small executive staff and a huge army of 35,000 volunteers, these Pan Am Games were the first Pan Am Games in history not to lose money (the enterprise broke even).

Some $175 million came into the local economy.

Twenty-six hours of major network TV coverage drew international attention to Indianapolis; some 1,600 journalists covered the games and filed stories with Indianapolis datelines.

There were some important moments in sports, too: Greg Louganis won two gold medals, as did Carl Lewis.

Jim Abbott, the pitcher born without a right hand, led the U.S. baseball team to a silver medal (and at one point, chuckling, compared Castro to Michigan's legendary football coach Bo Schembechler — "they both have that same air of intimidation").

Indianapolis was transformed into a genuine sports capital.

Since the 1987 Pan Am Games, the city has become the permanent home of numerous sports governing bodies, including the NCAA.

It has hosted six men's Final Fours, Super Bowl XLVI and many other competitions.

Santiago, Chile, was originally named the host of the tenth Pan American Games, but it withdrew in 1983 due to the political and financial problems. Quito, Ecuador, was named to replace Santiago, but it also withdrew, in late 1984.  Desperate, PASO held a new election. Indianapolis was planning to bid on the 1991 Games, but, at the request of the United States Olympic Committee, submitted a bid for 1987. Since many sports facilities were already in place, PASO announced on December 18, 1984, that Indianapolis would be the host.


"Hide and Seek" deals with the events of the Neighbor's family that caused him to become a recluse.

Wonky stealth horror game Hello Neighbor is getting a prequel, publisher Tinybuild has announced.

Titled "Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek", the game tells the story behind your neighborly nemesis and his family.

In particular, it will focus on the neighbor's two children.

"Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek follows the tragic story of the Neighbor's family in this dramatic prequel to Hello Neighbor," Tinybuild said in their announcement on their website.

"Experience playing a game of hide-and-seek with your brother as you both deal with a loss of a family member.

The game explains events that lead up to the original Stealth Horror hit Hello Neighbor."

The announcement also provided of a surprisingly emotional trailer, which implies a gradually deteriorating relationship between the Neighbor and his children, and between the children themselves.

How the prequel will actually play remains unclear.

The trailer shows a much broader range of environments, suggesting that it will involve more than simply sneaking around increasingly elaborate versions of the Neighbor's house.

Given the stronger story focus this time around, it's reasonable to anticipate a slightly different take on the first game's blend of stealth and horror.

Despite its intriguing premise, PC Gamer's Chris Thursten found the original to be a buggy mess, but that hasn't stopped the game selling half a million copies as of February this year.

Hello Neighbor also has a surprisingly active modding scene, currently the 24th most popular game on ModDB (which is impressive given it's less than a year old).

No release date for Hide and Seek was announced, but you can currently download a free Alpha version of the prequel via the Hello Neighbor website.

On June 10, 2018, tinyBuild announced the first add-on to Hello Neighbor, called "Secret Neighbor". Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer horror game that takes place between Act 1 and Act 2 of Hello Neighbor. The game follows a group of friends trying to free their friend from the Neighbor's basement. However, one of the friends is a Neighbor in disguise. The game is scheduled to be released in a Halloween timetable 2019, with the final Summer Beta planned for early August. A prequel, "Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek", was announced in August 2018 with a planned release in December 2018.

# After years of radio silence, Asian stations delight Qatar expats

Listeners laud four new channels in Hindi and Malayalam after years of tuning in to UAE-based channels with bad signal.

by Ayilah Chaudhary13 Dec 2018 09:12 GMT

Four new stations in Indian languages cater to Qatar's large South Asian population [Ayilah Chaudhary/Al Jazeera]

Sitting in his pristine white Honda City for 16 hours a day in Doha, Deloware Saijud keeps himself entertained by listening to Radio Olive 106.3 FM.

The 33-year-old driver from Bangladesh, who recently arrived in the Qatari capital is reminded of his home when familiar tunes are played.

This station opening is especially good for me because I am new in Qatar," Saijud told Al Jazeera.

Radio Olive is one of four new South Asian radio stations in Qatar.

Along with One FM, it broadcasts in Hindi.

Radio Suno and Radio Malayalam cater to listeners who speak Malayalam, a southern Indian language native to the state of Kerala.

It is the first time Asian subcontinent channels are being broadcast from Qatar, where 650,000 of the country's 2.7 million residents can speak these two languages, according to the Indian Embassy.

"These people were waiting for us actually," said Noufal Abdul Rahman, marketing manager at Radio Malayalam, "someone to start a radio station, someone to entertain them, to give them this energy."

Before the stations were launched in the autumn of 2017 in partnership with Qatar's culture minister and the Indian Embassy, Doha residents would tune into South Asian radio channels which were broadcast from the UAE.

Asianet, which is based in Dubai, was the only Malayalam station that could be heard in Qatar.

The AM station is still available today in the peninsula.

But the South Asian community has long complained of a poor listening experience.

"With the UAE channels, if there was a bad signal we couldn't even listen to them," said Fitah Ansari, 31, a Malayali system administrator at Ooredoo, a local mobile phone network.

"The local news was only about Dubai, the exchange rates and prayer times were all about Dubai," said Mubeena Majeed, a Malayali software engineer who has spent her entire life in Doha.

A large number of listeners work as taxi or limousine drivers, manual labourers, office administrators and domestic workers, and can listen on the job.

Radio also transcends illiteracy, which is high among some of Qatar's South Asian population, according to Ameer Ali, managing director at Radio Suno.

Not many people from the subcontinent are literate, but even though they can't read or write, they can still understand," he said.

Radio frequencies are not affected under a blockade on Doha, led by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, which began in 2017.

But the licenses for the Qatari stations were granted around two months after the group announced the blockade, according to Asiya Shafi, head of finance at One FM.

"I think the radio industry itself is going to take some time to mature," she said.

"It's been in Dubai and India for ages, but here it's only been a few months since the licenses have been given out."

She believes Qatar opened these stations to give back to South Asian expatriates.

"Qatar wants to make the expats feel at home," she said.

"I think after the blockade people could have left, but they appreciate that these expats stayed back."

Many South Asian expatriates leave their families behind when working in Qatar.

Krish Aiyapan, director at Radio Olive, told Al Jazeera: "People from the subcontinent are really attached the radio medium back in their hometown.

Not all the people here are living with their families, so they find a companion in the radio."

Radio Olive has a drive time show and several lifestyle programmes which include subjects such as cooking and health.

"Whenever I start my household work, the first thing I do is switch on the radio station," said Febin Kunhabdulla, a Malayali mother.

Radio stations bridge the gap between our home countries and Qatar.

For Nasumudheen, a mother of two, she uses the radio to teach her children Malayalam.

"Most of the time they sing and speak in English because they study it," she said.

"But now I can see them sometimes standing in front of the mirror and telling stories in Malayalam."

Until recently, there was one main radio station in the country.

Fifty years ago, Qatar Radio aired its first broadcast in Arabic.

By 1975, the public service broadcaster had an English programme, and in later years, a programme in Urdu.

"Radio stations bridge the gap between our home countries and Qatar," said Aiyapan, the Radio Olive director.

"When Qatar goes towards the World Cup, these type of mediums are essential."

Qatar's culture ministry has said it has plans for more radio stations in languages including English, French, Spanish and Filipino.

Saijud, the driver from Bangladesh, said he will continue to play the radio whether his clients like it or not.

"This is not a personal car for me," he said of his pearl white Honda.

"I pick up customers and some don't like Hindi music, but I will still play Olive radio on a low volume for myself.

I love classic Bollywood songs from the 90s."

Young women call her for advice and she has received dozens of proposals from men willing to marry her without a dowry.

A few months ago Nisha was just an ordinary 21-year-old from Noida, just outside Delhi.

Slim, pretty and barely five feet tall, she makes an unlikely rebel.

But in India her decision to send her groom packing after he asked for an extra $25,000 in dowry payment was seen as revolutionary.

Sundurahma said her husband poured kerosene over her and told her to die, doctors told me she would not last the week

The groom, Munish Dalal, seemed like a good match.

Nisha's father had found him through a newspaper advertisement.

At first the groom and his family said they were not interested in any money or presents - they just wanted Nisha.

Paying and accepting dowry has been illegal in India for 40 years but it is still rampant.

Nisha's father bought the couple a brand new car and dozens of household appliances.

On the big day, however, Munish and his mother Vidya suddenly demanded a cash dowry.

"When I said I didn't have that kind of money, they slapped and spat on me," said Mr Sharma.

Nisha immediately called the police who arrested Munish and his mother under the rarely enforced 1961 Anti-Dowry Act.

Nisha has no regrets: "My dad nearly had a heart attack and had to lie on the grass.

Since they treated him so badly they probably would have done the same to me, or worse," she said.

"Now I've seen how greedy and cruel they are, I'm relieved Nisha is safe.

If she'd married into that family they might have killed her." said her father.

Indian Government statistics show that husbands and in-laws killed nearly 7,000 women in 2001 over inadequate dowry payments.

Ranjana Kumari, who runs seven domestic violence refuge centres for women in Delhi, believes up to 70 cases a month are linked to rows over dowry.

"Sometimes women are tortured to squeeze more money out of their families and in extreme cases they're killed.

Then the husband is free to remarry and get another dowry," she said.

This type of murder is often called "bride burning" in India.

Another women's group called Vimochana, based in the southern city of Bangalore, estimates that three to five women are taken to the Victoria burns unit at the city hospital every day suffering from massive burns.

The latest arrival is a young woman called Sundurahma who has 70% burns.

She screams for her mother as the doctor forces her to sit

up so he can examine the raw flesh on her back.

The only part of her body which is not badly burned are her feet.

I notice a silver ring on one of her toes and immaculate nail polish.

Sundurahma said her husband poured kerosene over her and told her to die.

Doctors told me she would not last the week.

In the hospital, there is another woman who has a crumpled

photograph of her baby daughter on the pillow next to her head.

She tells us that her husband took all her gold jewellery and then wanted money, so she went into

At first she said he handed her the matches but then she changes her story and said the matchbox was empty.

Dowries have become such a burden that many families are desperate to avoid having girls.

Pregnant women can determine the sex of the baby and abort the female foetuses with ultrasound technology.

Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 (amended in 1984 and 1986): bans paying and receiving dowries

Pre-Natal Diagnostics Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) 1994 (amended 2002): bans sex determination tests

The 2001 census showed there are just 933 women for every 1,000 men in India.

Legislation against sex determination tests was passed nearly a decade ago, but the practice is still widespread.

Yet ID Swami, minister of state for home affairs, seemed unclear about his own laws.

He told me that sex determination tests are legal, then changed his mind, finally saying: "The husbands are in agreement about this, so are the wives and if there are no complaints then what can the government do?"

Nisha Sharma has sparked a new mood of defiance among Indian women.

Several brides have followed her and reported their greedy grooms to the police.

"Nisha did a great thing because the dowry system is one of the worst things in our country and it is growing uglier by the day," one said.

A dowry is a transfer of parental property, gifts, or money at the marriage of a daughter. Dowry contrasts with the related concepts of bride price and dower. While bride price or bride service is a payment by the groom or his family to the bride's parents, dowry is the wealth transferred from the bride's family to the groom or his family, ostensibly for the bride. Similarly, dower is the property settled on the bride herself, by the groom at the time of marriage, and which remains under her ownership and control. Dowry is an ancient custom, and its existence may well predate records of it. Dowries continue to be expected and demanded as a condition to accept a marriage proposal in some parts of the world, mainly in parts of Asia, Northern Africa and the Balkans.


Construction began in 1982; the first two generators became operational in December 1985, with the last generator being commissioned in 1986.

Kasanka is blessed with a wide variety of habitats, each hosting its own community of bird species, many of which are rare or uncommon.

(meta data) TITLE: Kasanka National Park - Zambia Tourism

(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 2017-02-03

This peaceful sanctuary, situated on the south western edge of the Lake Bangweulu basin, is one of Zambia's smallest national parks.

It's 450 km2 however, are so well endowed with rivers, lakes, wetlands, forests, lagoons, meadows and dambos that it supports a uniquely wide range of animals and abundant birds and fish.

Do not expect to see large herds of animals round every corner, but it is surely one of the most picturesque parks in Zambia with superb birdlife.

About ten years ago Kasanka was in danger of becoming yet another defunct national park due to rampant poaching.

David Lloyd, a British expatriate, who had lived in Zambia for many years, visited the Park in 1985 and heard the crack of gunshots.

He concluded that if there was still poaching there must still be animals there and set out to save the Park from total depletion.

He teamed up with a local farmer, sought funding and along with much of their own resources applied for official permission to rehabilitate the Park.

They built tourist camps, roads and bridges and set up the Kasanka Trust to raise funds for this community based project.

Slowly it began to earn a little money from tourists to help cover costs.

Three years later the National Parks and Wildlife Services Department were sufficiently impressed to sign a 10 year agreement with the Trust allowing full management of the Park in conjunction with National Parks & Wildlife Services and to develop it for tourism in partnership with the local community.

Today, although there is still none of the heart-stopping walking safaris amongst elephant herds, or any lions brushing past your open vehicle as in the larger parks, there are some of the rarest birds and animals in the country, found in the beautiful miombo woodlands, swamp forest, grasslands, floodplains and riverine bushveld, to be enjoyed on leisurely walks and drives.

There are ample opportunities for fishing tigerfish, bream and barbel in the beautiful Luwombwa River.

Boats are available for hire but you should bring your own tackle.

Recovering from depletion are hippo, sable antelope, and Liechtenstein's hartebeest.

The puku, once reduced to a few hundred, today exceed 1500.

There are fairly big herds of the swamp-dwelling sitatunga, reedbuck, waterbuck, Sharpe's grysbok and the rare blue monkey.

Elephants also appear from time to time, and their numbers are expected to recover.

Together with Kasanka's noted birdlife, the animals can be seen on guided walks through the grassy plains, mushitu forests, large tracts of miombo woodland, and alongside riverine forest and papyrus swamps.

Over 330 bird species have been recorded, including such rarities as Pel's fishing owl, the Pygmy goose, Ross's loerie, the osprey and the wattled crane.

If you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the rare shoebill stork.

Birding is especially good in the wet season from November to March when migrants arrive from the north.

Game viewing is best in the dry months from May to October.

Take the Great North Road from Lusaka, turn right just after Kapiri Mposhi and left after Serenje on the road to Samfya.

Turn left at the 54km mark into the Park at the Malaushi gate.

Not to be missed is the unique platform hide, 18m high in a giant mululu tree with a panoramic view over the Kapabi Swamp.

The rare and elusive sitatunga aquatic antelope feeds in the swamps below in the early mornings or late afternoons.

A startling site from the hide in November and December is the evening flight of several million fruit bats leaving their roosts in search of food, darkening the sky for a few moments.

The Chisamba Wamponde pan attracts large herds of puku, spur winged goose and saddle-bill storks, and hosts many hippos and waterbuck.

Duiker are often seen in the woodlands fringing the pan.

Lake Ndolwa is a beautiful and secluded spot where the shy shoebill stork has been seen in the papyrus reeds flanking the lake.

Chikufwe Plain is particularly rewarding in the early hours of the morning during the dry season.

The plain is the favourite haunt of the sable and also attracts large numbers of hartebeest, reedbuck and occasionally a few zebra and buffalo.

This is an excellent birdwatching site too, especially for raptors such as the black-breasted snake eagle.

# From Persuasion to Usability - Design Meets the Internet

Award-winning designer Ben Terrett talks about how design is changing the world (a bit) and how the internet is changing design (a lot).

Ben won an RSA Student Design Award in 1997 and now leads a multi-disciplinary design team in the Cabinet Office working across government on GOV.UK, which won Design of the Year and a D&AD Black Pencil.

Ben will talk about his work driving design thinking in large organisations, the vital role design plays in transforming services and what design means in a digital world.

Design can be a force for good and Ben will discuss how the values of the open internet strengthen the principles of good design.

The RSA Student Design Awards challenges emerging designers to tackle pressing social, environmental and economic issues through design thinking.

Our goal is to empower a generation of savvy, employable designers who understand the potential of design to benefit society, and we do this by running an annual Awards programme that challenges students and recent graduates to think differently about design, through tackling briefs focused on real-world problems.

Follow @benterrett and @RSADesignAwards on twitter.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception in the RSA's Benjamin Franklin Room.

Secondly, some true Carews in Wales may have received their name in the variant form of 'Carey' or 'Cary', which is a traditional local pronunciation of the place Carew (see above), another version being 'Care-ew'.

(meta data) TITLE: Carew Castle - Pembrokeshire - Bluestone Wales

Arrive on Monday and Friday only for our standard breaksSingle night stays available for 2 adults only

A short drive of about six miles south of Bluestone stands an imposing castle, its high walls and huge mullioned windows reflected spectacularly in the placid waters of its millpond.

This is Carew, (pronounced Care-roo and sometimes Carey by the locals but Car-roo by visitors), and it's not just an empty ruin to be looked at, speculated on and passed by, for its guardians, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, have ensured it is very much a working visitor attraction.

Time to drive from Bluestone: 15 minutes

The multiplicity of activities that go on in and around this magnificent 12th century pile is mind-boggling.

Displays of medieval battle and sporting skills such as jousting, swordsmanship, archery, falconry and re-enactments by

costumed knights and warriors are staged on a regular basis, while many aspects of social history are demonstrated in an action-packed programme of events designed to entertain and instruct both adults and children.

Every castle is said to have its ghosts and Carew is no exception, one of its phantoms being a rather unusual animal whose macabre story, especially when related at dusk, is truly spine-chilling.

This concerns a pet Barbary ape which the 17th century castellan, Sir Roland Rhys, kept chained up in the north-western tower.

The legend goes that a Flemish tradesman called at the castle one night to complain that the Lord's son had molested his daughter.

In a drunken temper Lord Rhys let the ape loose and it mauled the Fleming almost to death.

But he managed to survive and, after regaining consciousness saw that the castle was ablaze and Lord Rhys and the ape were locked in mortal combat, the Lord having dropped a lighted taper in the tower, which the ghost of the tormented ape is said to haunt.

This and other spooky tales are told during the popular "Twilight Tours" staged throughout the season and particularly at Halloween.

Other features for visitors are "Castle Capers," which give people a flavour of what domestic life was like in a medieval castle, tours and flint-knapping sessions with an archaeologist, bat-watching, bug-hunting and looking out for birds and blossoms.

Budding ornithologists will find some interesting brds, such as barn owls adding to the ghostly atmosphere of the castle and herons, redshank and other waders along the banks of the millpond.

The French tidal mill is also well worth a visit.

The list of things to see and do at Carew is endless and details can be obtained from the National Park Authority's widely circulated newspaper "Coast to Coast," or on the Authority's website at www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk or simply by ringing on 01646-651782.

The Cambro-Norman Carew family sprang from the same stock as the FitzGeralds: viz. from the union of Gerald de Windsor alias Gerald FitzWalter (1070–1136), the Norman Constable of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire and Nest ferch Rhys, Princess of Deheubarth, the 'Helen of Wales'.   These Carews descend from Gerald and Nest's oldest son William FitzGerald de Carew.  The family home was at Carew, Pembrokeshire (Welsh: "Caeriw") from a fortified site and later castle, and originally a holding of Nest's royal father, Rhys Ap Tewdwr. The usual derivation offered is that the root word is  'caer',  Middle Welsh for 'fort'; the second element being possibly 'rhiw' – 'slope', or 'yw' – 'yew' (tree).   The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park website has 'Caerau – fort (Locally pron Carey)'.
 First, as will be shown below,  not all modern Carews  are of Carew, Pembrokeshire stock;  some bear the name from cognate Cornish origins; and others as an Anglicised form, together with Carey, of the Irish patronymic Ó Corráin/Ó Carráin.

# Edelstein on The Spectacular Now: Being a Teenager Hurts So Good

Starring Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller.

Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), the protagonist of The Spectacular Now, is a zany, fast-talking 18-year-old who riffs on the importance of living in the present — the now.

He thinks his ready heart caused the breakup with his beautiful, blonde girlfriend, Cassidy (Brie Larson), who found him drinking in his parked car with another girl.

Cassidy didn't understand that he was keeping the girl company while her friend was in a canoe with his buddy — that he was helping the guy get laid!

Sutter is so bummed about Cassidy he gets extra-loaded and wakes up at dawn on someone's lawn, staring up at a girl from his school named Aimee (Shailene Woodley).

She's a studious, forward-looking person who doesn't party.

But she's very pretty in her unassuming way and obviously into him, so it isn't long before he's passing her his flask and kissing her and asking her to the prom.

At first you think he's only using her to make Cassidy jealous.

But then, gradually, it seems as if he does like her, at least enough to pull her into his spectacular now — which is, too often, a drunken haze.

Director James Ponsoldt has clearly worked hard to keep the Don't drink, kids! message from swamping the romance and vice versa.

His light touch helps — he puts less emphasis on booze than he did in his last drinking picture, Smashed.

Early on, you notice Sutter gulping from a bottle of soda laced with whiskey, but it never dominates the frame.

For a while, Sutter's drinking can even be chalked up to his likable anti-authority shtick.

Ponsoldt has cast his lead actor shrewdly.

Teller didn't get the attention he deserved as the teen who ran over the heroine's little son in Rabbit Hole — a minefield of a role he made his own just by saying the lines as if he were thinking them up on the spot.

He doesn't have a trained actor's diction (he hasn't purged his Eastern Pennsylvania nasality), and it's that touch of amateurishness that makes his Sutter more believable.

The last thing you want is a song-and-dance kid who looks as if he were cast straight from theater camp, where they're still talking about his Harold Hill.

Ponsoldt lets his scenes with Woodley run long and find their own gentle rhythm.

Woodley played George Clooney's eldest daughter in The Descendants, but I didn't recognize her here.

Her Aimee is so modest and attentive (and lovely and forgiving) that she seems too good to be true.

But Aimee's longing for someone to protect her — and free her from a domineering mother — is in Woodley's hands too true to be good.

It's unfortunate that Ponsoldt and screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber have omitted one crucial episode from Tim Tharp's fine novel, in which Aimee gets bombed and smacks Cassidy.

You need that scene to see that Sutter's alcoholism is a contagion — that it's not just threatening his future but Aimee's, too.

My guess is the filmmakers feared that scene would shove The Spectacular Now too violently out of the teen-romance genre, which is less flexible than it should be.

You can bring kids down but not that down

You'll have to wait until later this month to see Brie Larson's breakout performance in the phenomenally moving Short Term 12.

Meanwhile, you can admire the shading and intelligence she brings to Cassidy.

Kyle Chandler gives an extraordinary performance as Sutter's long-absent dad, with his macho braggadocio and furtive, tragic eyes.

Most teen movies are cocktails of melancholy and elation.

This one is best at its most un-transcendent — when it most evokes that period when we never knew what we were supposed to do with the pain.

Career.:"United States of Tara" and film breakthrough (2009–2014).

Larson's performance was acclaimed. Manohla Dargis of "The New York Times" found her "terrific" and "completely persuasive", and Ian Freer felt that she "builds into a whirling dervish of a performance, making Grace strong but scarred, damaged but compassionate". Jenny McCartney of "The Daily Telegraph" predicted that it would "[mark] her out for a stellar career". Larson received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead; she later remarked that the film prompted directors to offer her a wide variety of parts, but she turned down roles of the unidimensional love interest.
 Also in 2013, Larson had supporting roles in two romantic dramas, "Don Jon" and "The Spectacular Now". In the former, written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, she played the sister of Don Jon (played by Gordon-Levitt). Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone" praised the film's exploration of sexual themes and considered Larson to be "terrific" in it. In "The Spectacular Now", starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, she was cast as Cassidy, the ex-girlfriend of Teller's character. Larson was drawn to the project due to the realism she found in its depiction of high school experiences.


There were reports on August 9 that Viacom CEO Robert Bakish wants to license its TV ad targeting tech to the entire industry, starting with Fox.

# Viacom wants to license its TV ad targeting tech to the entire industry — and it's starting with Fox

Viacom CEO Bob Bakish Koki Nagahama/Getty Images

Viacom is licensing its data-driven ad product Vantage to Fox.

The media giant says it has invested in proprietary ad targeting tools and analytics, and wants to employ them across the industry.

The deal could accelerate the growth of "advanced TV" advertising, or serve to make things more complicated as heavy hitters like AT&T plot their own data courses.

Viacom wants to become an ad tech company.

And it wants to help the TV industry better compete with Facebook and Google.

The beleaguered media giant, which announced decent second quarter earnings results on Thursday, is looking to develop a new revenue stream by licensing its proprietary ad targeting tools to other media companies.

Initially, Fox has signed on to license Viacom Vantage, a three-year-old ad product designed to help marketers reach more precise audiences with linear TV ads.

And the hope is that there are many more to follow.

"We are very much committed to working with more publishers," Bryson Gordon, the head of Viacom's advanced advertising group, told Business Insider.

"We are in deep discussions with a broad set of publishers, both domestically and internationally."

In a way, it's not all that surprising that Fox would look to borrow someone else's tech rather than build its own.

The company is in the midst of selling its studio assets and several networks to Disney.

The remaining company, "New Fox," which will include the Fox broadcast network and Fox News, will be much smaller.

Plus Fox and Viacom were already partners on OpenAP, a TV data consortium that includes NBCU, Univision and Turner.

Still, it's telling that Viacom was able to convince a rival media company that Vantage was a worthy product.

"We love what they've built and being able to take advantage of all that great work is a big win for both of us," said David Levy, EVP at Fox Networks Group.

Fox's move could signal that TV companies are more inclined to join forces on data technology for ad purposes.

Or it could set up a battle over who's TV ad algorithms are better.

Either way, the TV business is trying to prove it can be effective at reaching exact audiences with advertising, as Google and Facebook continue to suck up huge chunks of ad budgets.

## Viacom says OpenAP is gaining traction, and its Fox deal with accelerate adoption

OpenAP is designed to help advertisers create common data sets that can be used for placing ads in shows that reach particular audiences.

For instance, an auto advertiser may have proprietary research on a particular demographic that is likely to be interested in a new SUV.

They can upload their data to OpenAP's interface and then try to find that audience on various TV networks.

Until now, each OpenAP partner uses its own proprietary software and tools to execute those deals, essentially to get the right ads to those audiences.

Now, Viacom and Fox will be using the same tech to do just that.

Gordon said that 900 advertisers have already run campaigns using OpenAP.

## Data-driven TV advertising is a big growth area

Viacom said on its earnings call that revenue in its digital division, which includes its web video business and its Advanced Marketing Solutions unit, surged 33% this quarter and should deliver $300 million this year.

The Fox deal, "is a powerful validation of our leadership in the space," said CEO Bob Bakish.

"And as we work to secure additional licensing partnerships with publishers, we're excited by the potential of this new business to accelerate the ecosystem and evolve into an incremental revenue stream."

Viacom's expansion of Vantage should accelerate things.

"The way we think about it, this initiative is actually about having a broader impact on the industry," said Gordon.

But many big media giants have also built out divisions centered on helping brands find unique audiences on their onw networks.

And of course, Turner's new owner, AT&T is planning to build its own mega TV ad platform, and wants the whole ad industry to join in.

It all makes for a complicated playing field.

And ad buyers generally don't want nine different ways of buying TV ads.

Still, Gordon sees Vantage as being complimentary and flexible.

He says Viacom has invested in data scientists, engineers, and product people at a level that not every traditional media company has.

When asked about AT&T's plans, Gordon declined to speculate.

"Our focus is very much about our proven capabilities," he said.

"We ccontinue to see a significant increase in demand."

# Jewish Philosophy and Philosophies of Judaism

It is more accurate to speak of Jewish philosophies than of a single Jewish philosophy.

### Medieval Jewish Philosophy: Reason in a Religious Age

My Jewish Learning is a not-for-profit and relies on your help

Although philosophical ideas are found, of course, in the Bible‑-monotheism itself is such an idea‑‑philosophy proper, in the sense of a systematic examination of the teachings of the Jewish religion in the light of what was considered to be pure human reasoning, did not emerge fully until the Middle Ages, although it was anticipated by Philo of Alexandria [died 50 CE].

## Medievals Weighed Jewish Ideas against Greek Thought

The philosophy of the medieval thinkers such as Saadiah Gaon [882-942], Bahya Ibn Pakudah [11th century], Judah Halevi [died 1141], Maimonides [1135-1204], Gersonides [1288-1344], and [Hasdai] Crescas [died 1412], was either Aristotelian or Neoplatonic or a mixture of both.

None of these thinkers were acquainted with Greek thought at first hand but only knew it from Arabic translations, which enjoyed a wide circulation.

Although the medieval thinkers employed philosophical method, their main aim was to demonstrate that the Jewish religion can be reconciled with the truth, as they saw it, of Greek philosophy.

Their endeavors were not directed to the question: is Judaism true?

Rather the thrust of their thinking was to show that the true religion in which they believed and to which they subscribed without reservation, could be interpreted so as to conform with philosophical truth.

In this sense, these thinkers are best described as theologians rather than philosophers.

In their various ways, they tried to show that the truth conveyed through revelation is the same truth taught by the Greek thinkers, except where the two clearly diverge.

When the divergence became apparent, philosophy had to yield to revelation, since there is only one truth.

## Reason vs. Faith: Maimonists and Anti-

Many Jews in the Middle Ages believed the philosophical approach to be dangerous to faith.

Once human reasoning is given its head, they argued, it can easily lead to a surrender of religious faith in those areas where faith seems to be unsupported by reason.

Faith might even come to be seen as irrational.

After the death of Maimonides, the Jewish intellectual world was split between the Maimonists and the anti‑Maimonists; the former held fast to the philosophical approach, the latter denied its value and denigrated its pursuit.

In Spanish Jewry, however, it was impossible to forbid entirely the study of philosophy.

In Barcelona in the year 1305, Solomon Ibn Adret was only able to issue his famous ban against the study of philosophy by limiting the ban to young men under the age of 25.

With the rise of science, the challenge presented to Judaism by Greek philosophy became a thing of the past.

Western thinkers turned to science for the solution of many of the problems considered important by the ancient and medieval philosophers.

The new philosophers–Spinoza, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche, later the existentialists, and later still the linguistic philosophers, all developed their own original approach, presenting new challenges to traditional Judaism.

But in the modern period philosophy was largely pursued by Jews as a discipline independent of religion.

It is far less accurate to speak of Jewish philosophers than philosophers who happened to be Jews.

Only in the ranks of the comparatively few Jewish theologians were attempts made to work out a Jewish philosophy.

## Modern Jewish Philosophies: Different Strokes

The foremost Jewish philosophers of modern times, that is, philosophical theologians who worked more or less within the confines of the Jewish religion, are Moses Mendelssohn [1729-1786], Nahman Krochmal [1785-1840], Samson Raphael Hirsch [1808-1888], Abraham Geiger [1810-1874], Martin Buber [1878-1965], and Franz Rosenzweig [1886-1929].

The majority of the traditionalists preferred to devote their intellectual efforts solely to the study of the traditional sources, Bible, Talmud, and the Kabbalah.

But the approach of the Maskilim [the proponents of the Jewish Enlightenment] had as its aim the development of an "enlightened" approach to Judaism and can be considered to be in the Jewish philosophical tradition.

The same applies to the thinkers of Reform and Conservative Judaism.

Orthodox Jews also felt themselves obliged to interpret Judaism in a philosophical manner, if only in reaction to Reform.

It is better, therefore, from the religious point of view, to speak of various philosophies (in the plural) of Judaism: the philosophy of Reform Judaism, of Conservative Judaism, of Orthodox Judaism, of Zionism, and so forth.

## Investigating Philosophies of Jewish Sources

Side by side with these Jewish philosophical trends, scholars have investigated the philosophical ideas contained in the classical sources, so that one can speak of the philosophy of the Bible, of the Talmud, of the Halakhah, of the Zohar.

But here it has to be appreciated that the attempt involves imposing on these sources a system basically foreign to their organic nature.

Reprinted with permission from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, published by Oxford University Press.

Maimonides reconciled views of the Greek philosopher with Judaism.

Can faith and reason coexist in Jewish thought?

One of the most significant figures in the history of philosophy, Spinoza was excommunicated by the Jewish community.

# Seethakaathi first look: Vijay Sethupathi undergoes a stunning makeover for his 25th film

Vijay Sethupathi aka Makkal Selvan turns 40 today (16 January) and the actor has yet again sprung a surprise for his fans.

The makers of Seethakaathi, which stars Sethupathi in the lead, have released the first look of the upcoming drama and the actor is unrecognizable in it.

Sethupathi is said to be playing the role of Ayya, who is a theatre artiste.

The film seem to be set in the black and white era.

Although not much is revealed about the plot, it's Sethupathi's look, which has managed to pique the interest of the viewers.

The actor has had a complete makeover and with the intensity in his eyes, it looks like he has once again taken up a stunning, offbeat character.

The makers of Seethakaathi have also been giving due credit to the prosthetic makeup artists of the actor — Alex Noble and Kevin Haney — for the hours of hard work they have put in to create such an intriguing look.

Hi friends, Here is #VijaySethupathi25 #Seethakaathi First Look Poster 😍😍 #HBDVijaySethupathi #vsp25 #seethakaathi FL #vijaysethupathi pic.twitter.com/uExsKhkKtW

— Balajitharaneetharan (@balajitharaneet) January 15, 2018

Also, the most interesting part about the first look of Seethakaathi happens to be its uncanny resemblance to Raghuvaran's role from the 1999 cult hit Mudhalvan.

Directed by Balaji Tharaneetharan, the film marks the the union of the actor-director duo after five years.

Their last outing Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom from 2012 was a critically acclaimed black comedy, also starring Gayathrie Shankar.

Seethakaathi also stars Archana, Gayathrie, Parvathy Nair and Ramya Nambeesan among others in pivotal roles.

With music by Govind Menon, the film is one of the actor's most anticipate projects, as it's 25th outing.

# El Capitan: Adjust Safari's Reader Settings

May 24th, 2016 9:15 AM EDT | TMO Quick Tip

Under El Capitan, Reader view in Safari has become customizable, and I like the changes quite a bit.

Well, when you visit sites that this Safari feature can work with, you'll see a little icon with lines appear in the left corner of the Smart Search bar.

If you click that icon (or press Command-Shift-R, for View > Show Reader), you'll be taken to a clutter-free version of the site, which'll strip out things like ads.

This is great for reading articles without distractions!

And now, you can make this view look exactly how you want it to, as well.

To do that, click on the icon on the right of the Smart Search bar when you've got a Reader page open.

There you can make the text bigger or smaller (or change the font entirely) or switch up the color of the background.

And when you're finished with your article and want to exit Reader view, press Escape, use the Reader shortcut I mentioned above again, or click the "lines" icon at the top.

And hey, we've got this feature under iOS 9, too!

It follows the same steps as above—if you see the "lines" icon appear in the search bar, tap it to switch to Reader view.

Then you can use the icon on the right to adjust the settings.

Leave this view on iOS by tapping the Reader icon again.

This really does make perusing articles online much easier, so if you've never played around with Reader at all, now would be a good time to check it out!

I didn't know about how we can change the background, the paper, color.

I tend to save a lot of articles by printing to PDF.

Unfortunately, the Reader view doesn't work for that.

It's no surprise that adding color to the background might not want to be something you'd burden your printer with, nor its expensive ink cartridges, but it would be cool to be able to retain Reader style settings for print-to-PDF documents.

I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but using Command-P and then saving as a PDF is functioning just fine for me in Reader view.

kc_cramer, I also need for my work PDFs and calling for the Print to PDF after having switched to the Reader View works .... although not without it's limitations.

The font chosen is NOT the one used in the Printout/PDF.

Background colors are also ignored ( for the better ).

Font size doesn't behave in Rv like expected, it rather zooms into the page, even if in the View Menu, [Zoom Text Only] is checked ( and that works for a plain webpage ).

On older versions of Safari, without Rv, text size changes would be taken over to the printed/PDF version.

BTW, this here is not an exclusive feature of El Capitan, I'm still on Yosemite but my previous Safari versions ( latest 9.1.1 here ) already offered these bonuses ( although with the forementioned caveats ).
