Most people associate prayer with moral good: benevolence, forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation. Yet in some cases, people deliberately pray against others in forms of what I call “aggressive prayer” that aim to harm or remove another party. These cases raise interesting questions about the shadow side of prayer. Attention to aggressive prayer and to the unspoken, negative aspects of positive prayer reveals interesting insights into how we might more fully understand prayer as a part of lived religion.

Take a blatant and public example of aggressive prayer. In January of 2012, the speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, Mike O’Neal, forwarded an email message urging his Republican colleagues to “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109.8.” That scripture reads, “May his days be few; may another take his office.” This is hardly a prayer offered for Obama’s flourishing, and the next line is even more malicious: “May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.”

This speech form is known as imprecatory prayer, from the Latin, imprecate, “invoking evil or divine vengeance; cursing.” The use of scripture as a form of imprecatory prayer has long been covertly practiced by both Christians and non-Christians. But the slogan to “Pray for Obama: Psalm 109.8” circulated openly on t-shirts and bumper stickers during the 2008 presidential race. Similarly, Reverend Wiley Drake, the second vice-president of the First Southern Baptist Church, issued in 2006 a statement claiming that his prayers for the death of a slain abortion provider George Tiller had been answered. These instances give us a rare display of imprecatory prayer in the US public sphere, and constitute prime examples of the use of negative prayer in American political life and beyond.

These bizarre cases caught my attention, since cursing and imprecation are usually associated in the popular imagination with my longtime area of research: the traditional Afro-Haitian religion called Vodou. The negative image of Vodou as sorcery is one that I and others have worked to dispel as part of a project of ethnographic redescription. We have worked to humanize Vodou and portray its full role in Haitian society, writing of elaborately developed prayers, liturgical rhythms, and songs, dances, and ritual that serve to mediate between life and death, to construct family, and to heal.

In this non-dualistic Afro-Caribbean philosophical system, good and evil are not understood to be essential absolutes. When one develops the ability to heal, one automatically learns the way to harm. While priests in the Vodou tradition focus on healing, there is a branch of disreputable specialists—disavowed by Vodou priests—who practice a set of prayer rituals and wanga (material “working” objects) that purport to impose the will of the religious actor onto another person or event. The Haitian ritual expert who performs this is called a malfaiteur, (literally: “evil-doer”) and the term for this form of prayer is “malediction” (lit: “speaking evil”). One form such prayer can take—as in the Kansas case—is the reciting of Old Testament psalms for a specific malediction against a person or group.

My research with Haitian spirit-workers reveals that instances of negative prayer are always concerned with a desire for justice or self-defense. For example, I once watched a Haitian spirit priestess in New York City offer her client a remedy for coping with sexual harassment in the workplace. “Pray Psalm 35, let destruction come upon him unawares,” she instructed, “and place a snakeskin in your shoe. You will tread soundlessly and slip away from him while he is destroyed by your guardian spirits.” In this instance, a new immigrant, vulnerable and perhaps undocumented, found in negative prayer a path of recourse against an insidious form of everyday injustice.

Here are two very different religious formations—evangelicalism and Afro-Haitian religion—both using Psalms to pray against others. They force us to consider negative prayer as a part of lived religion. In my work I employ the term “aggressive prayer” as a conceptual, second-order category that encompasses both spoken addresses to the Christian God (or other deities and spirits), and ritual action that aim to harm, debilitate, stop, remove, or weaken another party or to impose the speaker’s will onto another party or series of events. This umbrella term allows us to compare groups that are ordinarily kept quite distinct, such as Christians and self-identified sorcerers.

Just as sorcerers are famous for their deployment of malediction, evangelical Christians are well known for a branch of thought and practice known as “spiritual warfare,” which is also a form of aggressive prayer. Spiritual warfare is a precise term in the evangelical and neo-Pentecostal networks known as the Third Wave Evangelical Movement, or the Revival Movement, whose best-known theologian is C. Peter Wagner of Fuller Theological Seminary. Spiritual warfare is the aggressive prayer needed to fight evil directly in the invisible realm. This can take the form of “casting out evil” through “deliverance prayer,” in which the Christian casts out evil or actual demons from another person under the authority of Jesus (as depicted in Matt. 10:1). More ambitiously, warfare prayer also enables Christian “prayer warriors” to “pray down” more powerful demons—those who have taken over entire areas of geographical territory such as the Islamic world, or propagate widespread sinful activity such as alcoholism—and allow for revival and Christian flourishing to surge in a given area or place. A group of divinely “anointed prayer warriors” understand themselves to be doing battle in the “spiritual realm” with Satan’s high ranking demons, and take their understanding of this war from Ephesians 6:12: “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Prayer warriors believe we are in a new age in which God is calling prophets and apostles to become intercessors and to usher in the Kingdom of God through warfare prayer. Public figures associated with this movement include Kansas State Representative Mike O’Neal, who “prays for Obama;” the Pentagon’s General William Boykin; Sarah Palin; and Governor Rick Perry.

Spiritual warfare evangelicals have elaborated a complex theology and prayer practice with a highly militarized discourse and set of rituals for doing “spiritual battle” and conducting “prayer strikes” on the “prayer battlefield.” Warfare prayer may take place in church, in large revival events, at semi-public conferences in hotels, or in private spaces such as homes. Prayer warriors may pray openly in “prayer walks” through public spaces, often in cities where poverty and crime are rife. Warriors may also do covert actions in public spaces when they are “on assignment” from the Holy Spirit, in which case they might pray in small groups at key “demonic strongholds,” such as massacre sites, neopagan temples, or abortion clinics.

Is warfare prayer a form of negative prayer? Well, it does seek to impose “God’s will” on others, in specific detail. Muslims are meant to convert to Christianity, Masonic lodges (seen as long standing demonic institutions) are meant to close down, and bars and strip clubs to go bankrupt. In some evangelicals’ narratives, warfare prayer ends with God killing people who are working for demonic causes, such as an Alaskan woman who protested the use of prayer in school board meetings and then died of a heart attack. In such cases, violence or death are God’s judgment, and are part of the overarching cosmic system of perfect justice that evangelicals long to help bring about.

American evangelical prayer warriors teach vehemently against taking a course of physical violence in the material world and becoming actual vigilantes. But in a tragic trend, witchcraft accusations and related killings are on the rise worldwide. United Nations reports show that in locations as diverse as New York City, London, Congo, and Papua New Guinea, people are accusing others of being witches and attacking or murdering them. Often the violence is gendered, with male witch hunters attacking female “witches.” Sometimes people are brutalized or killed during exorcism ceremonies, in which the demons are beaten out of the accused witch.

Studying prayer as it is actually lived in the world means paying attention to such aggressive forms of prayer, and exploring how ideas about negative and aggressive prayer change over time in a given society. We must also open up questions about the negative implications of positive prayer. Logically, even if one prays for positive results in a certain area, it is possible that if it came to pass it would be harmful for someone else. Praying for victory for one side—in war, or in sports—is necessarily to pray for defeat of another side. A prayer for one person to be chosen for a job is a prayer for the other applicants to be rejected. Researchers might ask whether the people praying in any given tradition take into account any possible negative effects of their prayers. Studying aggressive forms of prayer may mean asking how religious actors engage with supernatural forces they perceive to be destructive, such as in exorcisms, or magic, and how they control the ritual so they are not themselves harmed. It means figuring out how explicitly negative prayer is rationalized or even justified by the person praying. Does someone praying negatively imagine themselves to be partnering with destructive or evil forces for their own gain, or do they imagine themselves to be neutral, or even righteous? Perhaps they imagine themselves to be in alliance with forces of ultimate good, which demands an aggressive form of prayer. How is negative prayer tied to conceptions of justice?

More and more studies are considering the positive effects of intercessory prayer and healing, and some argue for tangible results that positive prayer can facilitate medical recovery. It bears considering whether negative prayer has similar negative effects. While it is tempting to imagine that the religious people of the world are all praying beneficently for peace and love, the fact is that all are not. As you read this, someone may be praying against you, wishing you to fail, hoping to be hired in your place, that you convert to their religion, or that “your days be few, and another take your office.”

Greeted with overwhelming indifference in Europe, the Club World Cup is still seen as the pinnacle of club football elsewhere as thousands of San Lorenzo fans demonstrated last week.

An estimated 9,000 San Lorenzo fans made the tortuous and costly trip from Buenos Aires to Marrakech to witness what they believed was the most important week in their club’s history.

Goalkeeper Sebastian Torrico said before Saturday’s final against Real Madrid, won 2-0 by the European champions, that it would be “the most important game of my life” and coach Edgardo Bauza expressed similar sentiments.

“It’s the match all the players want to play. This is the most important game at club level,” he said.

“At my age this is like touching heaven,” added 34-year-old team captain Juan Mercier.

San Lorenzo had become almost obsessed by the tournament since winning the Libertadores Cup five months ago.

Until the 1990s, the South American champions used to compete on equal terms with their European counterparts and led by 13 titles to 12 when the old Intercontinental Cup was scrapped in 2004.

But Europe leads 7-3 under the new format, reflecting the huge gulf which has been caused by the continued exodus of top players worldwide towards Europe.

The December timing of the tournament also does not help.

While the European sides reinforce their teams in the six months between winning the Champions League and taking part in the club cup, the opposite happens with teams from the rest of the world where winning a title means the best players get sold.

Asian champions Western Sydney Wanderers have yet to win a league game this season and Moghreb Tetouan, who qualified as champions of the host nation, are 10th in the Moroccan league and had not won in five games going into the tournament.

San Lorenzo, meanwhile, ambled through the 19-match campaign in the Argentine Inicial tournament, winning eight times to finish eighth.

Nevertheless, the chance to pit themselves against teams such as Real remains a huge pull for the likes of San Lorenzo and their mainly journeyman players.

Predictably, Real Madrid sailed through their two matches without conceding a goal, beating Cruz Azul 4-0 and San Lorenzo 2-0, reinforcing the concept that the tournament is uncompetitive.

In fact, Real probably encountered less resistance in those two games than they would in a typical La Liga game or Champions League group stage tie.

Bauza pointed out that it is not just teams from other continents that succumb to Real’s array of cherry-picked, world class players as the Spaniards had won their previous 20 games going into the tournament.

Elite group

The San Lorenzo coach said there is also a huge gap between the elite group of European teams, such as Real, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and the rest of their own continent.

“The big difference is between us and the four or five best teams in the world, not all the European teams,” he said.

“If you take out the top four or five, we could play a match on equal terms against almost any European opposition.”

Auckland City were another team who had no complaints about the tournament after the New Zealanders surpassed all expectations and finished third after wins over Moghreb Tetouan, ES Setif and Cruz Azul.

“It’s a luxury to come to a tournament like this and play against high level team,” said coach Ramon Tribulietx.

Canadian Transportation Industry

Canadian Transportation Industry

Canadian truckingThe Canadian Transportation Industry is alive and well, in spite of minor fluctuations due to global economic changes. With a country as vast as Canada with the population extremely sparse, especially as we move north of the 49th, the transportation industry is the life-line of our economy.

While “trains and boats and planes” supply some of the need, links between these and manufacturer or customer can be very long, links that the trucking industry provides. Trucks provide freight transfer for imports and exports as well as in-country movement.

Changes in global dynamics, such as unrest in the Middle East, piracy near key ports, environmental disasters such as drought, natural disasters such as earthquakes that disrupt trade, fiscal disasters such as the present situation in Greece, and localized armed conflicts have chain reaction ramifications in what is now a global economy. The cost and availability of petroleum products have major effects on the transportation industry.

On the other hand, the development of drought resistant crops and hybrid produce, and improving conditions in developing countries that enhance their viability as trade partners have favourable effects on industries providing transportation of goods.

In the long run, there is no foreseeable end to the need for movement of consumer goods, and the transportation industry is well positioned to meet the needs. Those trains, boats, planes and trucks appear to be here for a good long while.

Q&A: Climate Grief and Our Crisis of Culture

UConn's Phoebe Godfrey locates the growing feeling of "climate grief" in existing problems of Western society.

When it comes to the climate, the events dominating the news in recent weeks – and arguably the past several years – have left many wondering how we got to this point.

A common reaction to the developments of the daily news cycle is a feeling of anxiety and despair in the face of climate change. Sometimes also referred to as “climate grief” or “eco-anxiety,” the feeling is fueled by constant news stories about accelerating sea ice loss, record breaking global temperatures, and declines in species, such as insects. As society grapples with comprehending the vast challenge of climate change – a subject explored by this year’s UConn Reads selection – it’s no surprise that climate grief is growing more common.

Phoebe Godfrey, Associate Professor in Residence of Sociology, spoke with UConn Today about climate grief, and offered advice and strategies for how to cope.

What is climate grief, and what role does culture play in it?

We live with fantasies and ideas of the way we want the world to be or the way we should be. The fantasy of our culture, and in particular white / male / upper-class / Christian culture, is that we’re God’s gift to the planet, we should have whatever we want, we shouldn’t die, the earth should provide. The idea that we are no more or less significant than the rest of the planet is sort of a heartbreak for us.

So much of this is based in our ego as a culture, that we are the most important culture, species, and most important nation and how dare the earth not give us everything we want? The idea of climate change and to face it is to face our own insignificance.

Grief for me is when I get caught between what we want and what is. The world was not made for us and it is not our personal life support system. A lot of grief is that we think of ourselves as takers, and why can’t we keep taking?

How does one come to terms with this grief?

I always start with the body. Return to your body, return to your breath, where does it come from? Once you realize it is oxygen from plants and trees and nature, what does that mean? What is the relationship between you and plant life? They keep us alive.

We are in this incredibly vibrant relationship with everything around us, but our culture has blocked out all of those connections.

I have had lots of students say they feel less anxiety the more they realize this connection with the earth. In my Sociology and Food course (SOCI2705E), we take time in class to eat a raisin. We realize we’re eating sunlight, we are eating soil, we are sunlight, we are soil. For some, they block it out but for others it is eye-opening.

We are part of the earth and it isn’t for us to own. We know this in our bodies if we listen. To generalize, people who are raised in indigenous cultures think of themselves very differently. They think of themselves as connected to the earth and to all life, rather than separate from.

How do you teach others about climate grief?

My approach is that climate change is a cultural issue coming out of the values of our particular culture, the Western culture, as opposed to being an all-human issue. As such, everything from capitalism, racism, patriarchy, inequality, our views of religion, that nature needs to be dominated, our fears of paganism, and fears of indigenous people, have culminated in creating climate change. In my classes, we do a lot of looking at the history of Western culture and compare it to that of indigenous cultures to show that there are other viable ways of living – ours is only one way and as it is turns out – it is not the one right way, despite what we claim. I use as a theoretical lens where we look at intersectionality so students can understand that it isn’t just about race or just about gender, or just about class or just about religion, that it is all of the ways that those topics intersect and transform each other in dynamic and complex ways, including place, space, and time.

How do we move forward from here?

The technology we need to address climate change we already know and have, but much of it is in fact deceptive and it acts to make us believe we don’t need to change our culture, we just need to switch to green energy. The irony therefore is that the most difficult part of the issue is culture, is ideology, and therefore is us.

Just look at lockdown. We reduced the amount of carbon we put into the atmosphere and look what happened – there were positive signs of natural resiliency all over the world, even as so many humans were made to suffer and are still suffering. Most of these humans are the same ones as those who are suffering and will continue to suffer most due to climate change – the world’s poor, as well as those who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC). So, the way I see it, the technological aspect is not very complicated, but try to address racism, sexism, hatred of nature and the reverence of profit — that is hard work. That gets to the roots of our distorted cultural identities.

The real issue is reduction. Everybody wants to keep the capitalist system and keep growth at the level it is currently at with the assumption that all we need to do is to switch to green energy and just keep going. That is absurd.

We are not going to solve climate change until we as a culture change the way we think about solving things, and until we change our values and, as said, our identities. We need to work on hierarchical thinking that includes the domination of nature that is Western culture’s ultimate challenge. Ultimately, I’m a little extreme, but my notion is our domination of nature is really our attempt to dominate and control mortality because nature is death as much as it is life. Our whole culture is about control, if we’re totally in control, then nothing bad — and death is seen as the worst — will happen.

To resolve this, we need to change. We can keep learning and growing and that is phenomenal, we all can grow. It is great to watch others grow and learn and reflect and become more radical, introspective, empathetic and, I would say, consequently more self-confident in connecting more deeply to all life, not just themselves.

You can heal, you can grow, you can be re-inspired to be something else. I always have hope because I think the human spirit is resilient and I think we are wired for community. We are social beings. We want to connect. Conceptually, in our culture we say we love nature, we just don’t embody that love because fundamentally as a culture we are not socialized to love ourselves. Those who love themselves can’t be as easily controlled. And to love yourself fully in your body and to embrace your mortality is to love nature and see yourself as nature — not separate, not divided.

Yet, I am encouraged because young people are changing. We have to work collectively to create the world we want our children — all our children (by birth or by collective identity) to have, and to do this we must address inequality, including racism, sexism, and all the other forms of oppression. And as said, it is hard work, especially for those with privileges like myself, but it is healing and the most meaningful work we could do. I have hope in that humans can change; it is not in our biology to be self-destructive megalomaniacs. Other humans, and in particular indigenous humans whose cultures are still somewhat intact despite ongoing oppression, have already shown us ways to think, feel, be and live differently. I have hope.

Dinner is served thanks to this amazing recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Chicken Enchiladas. Be sure to make extras because they will be gone in a heartbeat!

It’s always a good time for enchiladas.  Is it weird to wrap up enchiladas with little, baby cabbages inside?  I say no.  This is mainly because lately I’ve been living in a Brussels sprouts obsessed phase.  And also because it’s always a good time for enchiladas, whether they’re filled with little green Brussels sprouts or not.  No judgment here.  I accept all the enchiladas.

There’s this thing about crispy oven-roasted Brussels sprouts that just does it for me. Actually oven-roasted veggies in general just do it for me. Oven-roasted carrots with a pinch of sea salt + honey. Oven-roasted tomatoes topped with Parmesan + basil. Umm yeah.

Tomatoes just have this magical way of getting all caramelized and sweet when roasted. A can of roasted tomatoes can do wonders to a plain ol’ pizza crust. Really, tomato anything can do wonders for a dish. Not to mention the powerhouse nutrient lycopene, which tomatoes are bursting with.

I buy a lot of tomato paste.  It’s one of those pantry staples just necessary for life.  So many recipes call for a delicious addition of tomato-y goodness.  Enchilada sauce, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, soups, stews…they all NEED it.  This article on how to save leftover tomato paste has spared quite a few half empty cans of the stuff.

So for this recipe I filled enchiladas with mashed acorn squash, which makes them oh-so-creamy without being super heavy and cheesy.  A little of extra sharp cheddar on top adds plenty of cheesy goodness.  Pair that with the sweet enchiladas sauce and you’ve got yourself a perfect dinner.

Yield: 4-6 servings

Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Chicken Enchiladas

Enchilada Filling

  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked & shredded
  • 1 small acorn squash, sliced in half and seeds scooped out
  • 2 cups fresh Brussels sprouts (~18 balls), quartered
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 12-14 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • ½ cup extra sharp white cheddar, grated

Enchilada Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 6-ounce can tomato paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place acorn squash cut side down. Bake for 40 minutes, or until soft.
  3. While baking, toss the quartered Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread onto a separate baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring twice throughout cooking.
  4. While baking, make your enchilada sauce. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in garlic and stir until garlic turns golden brown, about 1 minute. Add in chili powder and stir for 1 minute. Add in chicken broth, tomato paste and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cover.
  5. Scoop flesh out of the acorn squash into a large bowl. Add in shredded chicken, roasted Brussels sprouts, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
  6. Now assemble your enchiladas. Wrap your tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave to make them pliable. Scoop ¼ cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a casserole dish (I had to use 2 baking dishes).
  7. Lightly coat a tortilla with enchilada sauce, add some filling and roll up the enchilada. Repeat until tortillas and filling are all rolled up. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese.
  8. Bake at 375F for 35-40 minutes. Just before serving, place under the oven broiler for 30 seconds to get the cheese all crispy.

Chase Sapphire Reserve: Downgrade the Sapphire Preferred and Other Cards?

Chase Sapphire Reserve: Downgrade the Sapphire Preferred and Other Cards?

Update: Note that Chase now only permits one Sapphire card bonus of any type per 24 months.

If you get the Chase Sapphire Reserve should you downgrade your Sapphire Preferred and other credit cards? After being approved for the Chase Sapphire Reserve, I'm going through my existing cards and deciding whether to keep them, downgrade them to a no annual fee card, or cancel them altogether. Here's my thinking so far:

Chase Sapphire Preferred: Downgrade to Chase Freedom or Chase Freedom Unlimited

Chase Sapphire Preferred vs. Chase Sapphire Reserve

The Chase Sapphire Reserve is effectively $150 per year, since it provides a $300 per year statement credit for travel purchases; the Sapphire Preferred is $95 per year, so you're only paying $55 more for the Chase Sapphire Reserve. And for that extra $55 per year, you earn 3X on all travel and dining vs. 2X with the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

I value Chase Ultimate Rewards points at a minimum of 2 cents per point, which means that if you spend at least $2500 per year in the travel and dining categories, earning 3X for a total of 7500 Ultimate Rewards points, worth $150 at a valuation of 2 cents per point, you easily recoup the $150 fee. And that doesn't take into account the card's other benefits which everyone values differently, from Priority Pass Select lounge access to enhanced travel insurance, such as trip cancellation and interruption coverage up to $10,000 and trip delay reimbursement up to $500 per ticket for travel delays over 6 hours or unplanned overnight stays.

For me, the 3X for travel and better benefits of the Chase Sapphire Reserve mean that I plan to use it and my existing Ink Plus for virtually all business expenses going forward, and will downgrade my existing Chase Sapphire Preferred to either a second Chase Freedom with rotating 5X categories (since I already have a Chase Freedom) or a Chase Freedom Unlimited that earns 1.5X on all spend. Currently I'm leaning towards the former, since even with maxing out both my husband's and my Chase Freedom cards for the 5X grocery bonus, we've almost exhausted our Trader Joe's gift cards. It would be great to have $4500 of Trader Joe's gift cards at 5X to cover groceries and wine for the year, since wine is a much better deal at Trader Joe's in NYC than at our local wine stores. We'll also likely increase the restaurant gift cards we buy when restaurants is a 5X category; after all, 5X for dining is better than the 3X of the Sapphire Reserve, even though this only works for U.S. restaurants in the case of the Freedom, due to the foreign exchange fees. All international dining will go on the Sapphire Reserve.

Then for other completely unbonused spend, I'll continue to use my SPG AMEX, since I need to earn some more Starpoints anyway to top up our Miles & More account for a future Lufthansa First Class award.

Citi Prestige: Keep for 6 Months for 7X on Travel, Then Cancel

As I mentioned in Citi Prestige Retention Offers and Tips, I received an offer of 4 additional ThankYou points per dollar spent, total of 7X on all travel, for 6 months, up to a maximum of an additional 35,000 ThankYou points. This rewards up to $8750 in travel spend, so I'll initially be maximizing this offer when it comes to travel, before cancelling the card in 2017 (after of course taking advantage of the $250 airfare credit for 2017).

Citi ThankYou Premier: Cancel

The main thing the Citi ThankYou Premier had going for it was its 3X on all travel. Since I'll now get that with the Chase Sapphire Reserve and consider Ultimate Rewards points more valuable than Citi ThankYou points, there's no reason to keep the Citi ThankYou Premier. I don't spend enough on entertainment, which the card bonuses at 2X, to justify the $95 annual fee.

If you've gotten the Chase Sapphire Reserve, do you plan to downgrade or cancel any of your other cards?

Tips to Disable Facebook Sounds

Tips to Disable Facebook Sounds

Hello Geeky, so today we are focusing on How to Disable Facebook Sounds. So please read this tutorial carefully so you may comprehend it in a better helpful way.

Guide: How to Disable Facebook Sounds

Facebook is an online social media feature and social networking service owned by Meta Platforms. The name was coined in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg alongside fellow Harvard students and colleagues Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. Membership is initially limited to Harvard students, has expanded to other North American universities, and from 2006 to all over 13 students. By 2020, Facebook has 2.8 billion monthly active users and is ranked seventh in terms of global internet usage. It was the most memorable mobile app of the 2010.

Surprise how to delete Facebook voice on Android or iOS? For some reason, the Facebook app is designed to handle annoying noises that will alert you (and everyone else) when you post or like something. However, if you find them very loud and tired to hear them all the time, you can turn off Facebook items in seconds. To turn off voice on Facebook on your Android smartphone or tablet and your iPhone or iPad:

How do I keep Facebook things quiet?

Turn off in-app Facebook voice

So, how do you silence things in a Facebook app? The way to do it directly is if you know where to look. You just need to navigate to Settings and there you will find Media and Contacts card which handles Items in the app option.

Here is what you need to do on Android:

  • From Facebook Timeline, tap on the hamburger (3-line) menu.
  • Scroll down and expand Settings & Privacy.
  • Select Settings.
  • Swipe down and open Media and Contacts.
  • Activate Items in the app option.

The method is similar for iOS only, instead of Media and Contacts, there is a separate Sound option.

On a similar note, you can activate chat items in Facebook Messenger. Here it is how to do so:

  • Open Facebook Messenger.
  • Click your profile picture in the upper left corner.
  • Select Notifications & Items.
  • Turn off In-app sounds.
  • That’s it. There are no items when you tap here or there while browsing through the posts in Timeline.

Check out other item options

While we are on the subject of things within the app, we do not want to miss Autoplay videos that start with sound. For some, this might not be a controversial issue, but many will want the video to start quietly so that they can change the volume of their program. You can play the sound in video playback by simply tapping on it later on.

Here it is how to prevent Facebook videos from starting with sound on Android:

  • Navigate again to line-up menu 3> Settings & Privacy> Settings.
  • Again, navigate to Media and Contacts at the bottom of the list.
  • Play videos in Report Start with Sound.
  • Same for iOS. You will not see Media and Contacts, although. Just open Sounds and play videos in the Start Report with Sound.

Disable or disable Facebook notifications

Finally, if you want to go one step further and completely shut down Facebook, you can not ignore the notifications. Thus, there is an option to choose how we make notifications to you, but there is no option to keep them quiet. For that, you will need to dig deep into the System Settings.

Here is what you need to do on your Android:

  • Open Settings on it phone.
  • Tap Apps & Notifications (on most Android skins just Applications).
  • Expand all apps and find Facebook.
  • Open Facebook from the list of all installed applications.
  • Tap Notifications.
  • Now, here you can customize the way the notifications are displayed and what the details are. To activate sounds, just select the global option for Facebook notifications, for example enable Allow sounds or select silence.

For iOS, the process is similar, and here are the exact steps:

  • Open Settings.
  • Tap on Facebook.
  • Open Notifications.
  • Switch off Items.

Happy birthday, Ashes

[Above: On this day exactly 10 years ago, directing with a sprained back. Photo by Jenna Cataldo]     Everything is so mad right now, in a very exciting way, but I wanted to make time to reflect on the 10th anniversary of filming Ashes - which was my first time ever directing a professional crew. The subject matter was very challenging, but I didn't let that put me off.    We had the tiniest budget and it was very hard to get the film off the ground. I went and got a 'normal job' to help pay the bills, but our location still fell through twice before we finally went into production. Then a back injury left me bed-ridden and I almost physically wasn't able to do the shoot - but we did it anyway. Our expensive rented camera kit failed the night before the shoot - but we found workarounds. Nothing was stopping us by that point.    [Note: you can see how difficult the location search was for me in this dodgily-filmed old video diary which I shot at the time: https://youtu.b

[tex-k] bug in pdfetex (re \immediate)?

Vladimir Volovich vvv at vsu.ru
Sat Oct 15 18:37:02 CEST 2005

consider the following Plain TeX file:

\immediate\write1 {line 1}
\immediate\write1 {line 2}

(it was reduced from a real-life example).

if i process it with vanilla TeX engine (i.e. not with pdfetex, but
with TeX), you get what i expect: two lines are written to the file
test.out, and there are no pages of output (no DVI file generated).

however, if i process this file with pdfetex, i do not get what i
would expect: instead, the lines are written to terminal, test.out is
created and is empty, and there is also a 1-page PDF file generated.

the bug goes away if i remove the second \immediate, but as i said
this is a simplified example converted from a real-life usage.
