Selfhood and Domestic Space in Contemporary German Fiction

Monika Shafi

Camden House

Reveals and analyzes the current strong emphasis in German literature on the role of houses and homes in our constructions of selfhood and belonging.
In life and in fiction, houses are compelling objects that shape an impressive range of personal and public affairs. A house embodies experiences often intensely emotional, and it also represents both a major financial investment and a material reality embedded in architectural, aesthetic, and social traditions. The house, the place where we try to be at home, can be regarded -- as theorists from Gaston Bachelard to Edward S. Casey have argued -- as the key space for our constructions of selfhood and belonging.
A host of contemporary German narratives featuring houses highlight this relationship between selfhood and domestic space. Beginning with a historical and theoretical overview of the house in German literature, Housebound analyzes the shelters -- often highly ambivalent spaces -- that writers such as Katharina Hacker, Arno Geiger, Walter Kappacher, Monika Maron, Jenny Erpenbeck, Judith Hermann, Barbara Honigmann, and Emine Sevgi Özdamar build in their texts and what these reveal about contemporary selfhood in Germany and its relationship to the social world. The concluding comparative analysis of Katharina Hacker's Die Habenichtse and the English novelist Ian McEwan's Saturday reveals these developments in another national literature and makes a case for the global appeal of the domestic as a major site of identity politics.

Monika Shafi is the Elias Ahuja Professor of German and Chair of the Department of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Delaware.

Shafi's readings of the texts are well crafted, insightful, and a pleasure to read. . . . Housebound is an important beginning for the examination of domestic space in German-language fiction . . . . MONATSHEFTE

The panorama is laid out broadly, the selected corpus of texts varied, and the interpretive process detailed and well informed. Discourses about body and Heimat, memory and remembrance, escapism and the uncanny enrich Shafi's primarily text-oriented, hermeneutic approach. . . . [Her] study shows in convincing fashion that space - in the form of the house - assumes an elevated position and function in the analysis of not only contemporary narrative texts. . . . Throughout, Shafi's enthusiasm for her topic is noticeable. Housebound, beyond pursuing specific connections [concerning its thesis], presents an equally successful general introduction to the texts analyzed, and thereby to a broad selection of contemporary German fiction. LITERATURKRITIK.DE

German-language writers have consistently used the home . . . as an anchor of metaphor for the emotional and narrative frame for literature. From [19th- and early 20th-century German writers such as Raabe, Freytag, Fontane, and Mann] right up to the contemporary works Shafi deals with, this domestic space reveals emotional textures that are at the heart of both literary work and national character. . . . What emerges is a surprisingly profound understanding of contemporary German and Austrian values. . . . Highly recommended. CHOICE

Frostwalker Excerpt – Deputy Fallon Gets Busy

Front Cover Art Mock-UpWork continues on the preparations to release Frostwalker! Presently, the primary formatting for ebook and paperback is finished. Now we’re on to the check-and-double-check-everything-neurotically stage. So, to keep teasing you while we sweat the details, here is another excerpt from the book! This will quite possibly be the final excerpt posted before the book is released.

Speaking of how close the release is, if you haven’t gotten your free copy of The Card yet, but are interested in doing so, you can still sign up for the Frostwalker Release Notification and get it. Obviously, once Frostwalker is released, that offer will be ended – get it while you can! Free reading material is almost always a good thing, right? To sign up and get your free copy of The Card, just pop over to the Frostwalker page here on my blog and sign up at the bottom of the page!

Deputy Mike Fallon was bored. Presently, he was lounging on an avocado green vinyl couch in what the Roderick County Sheriff’s Office referred to as their “bull pen”. Little more than an open room full of desks, Fallon had the room to himself.

He was trying to alleviate his boredom with a dog-eared copy of a Louis L’Amour western. Usually, the graveyard shift at the Sheriff’s Office was as silent as a tomb. However, tonight, Deputy Fallon was having trouble concentrating on his book due to the amount of background noise.

One disturbance was the occasional frustrated grumblings coming from Sheriff Breslin’s personal office. The door was closed, and the sheriff was catching up on paperwork. The past few days, the search for Daniel Tucker had been all Breslin had worked on. Apparently, filling out the paperwork involved a great deal of swearing.

However, the worst distraction came from the hallway in the back of the office. Along one side of this hallway stood the three cells, normally empty, used for detainees. Tonight, the center cell was occupied by Angus Sommerset, aged fifty-seven, who snored loudly while sleeping off his public drunkenness charge. Angus was a bit of a fixture in the Sheriff’s Office, and the deputies often called him Angry Otis when he was out of earshot. Unlike Mayberry’s lovable tosspot, Angus had the temper his Scottish ancestors were famous for.

Suddenly, Deputy Mike Fallon had plenty to occupy him. First, the radio crackled to life. Dropping his book on the couch, he wove his way between the desks to answer the call. It seemed that a house was burning in the Briar Creek development. From the sound of it, it might have been arson. The reporting deputy mentioned an apparent fistfight ongoing in the yard of the next house down.

The Wynn Volunteer Fire Department had a small station down the street. Mostly, it was a large garage which held their two trucks and a smallish barracks area in back where those on overnight duty slept. While he began relaying the call on a handheld radio unit, the phone rang.

Snatching up the phone with his free hand, Deputy Fallon said, “Sheriff’s Office,” into the receiver, dividing his attention between the phone and the static-filled response coming from the radio in his other hand.

The voice on the phone was a woman, clearly in hysterics. She was screaming into the phone, and shouting could be heard in the background, as well as the growls and snarls of a dog that sounded enraged.

“He’s killing Earl!” she screamed into the phone, and Fallon yanked the phone from his ear in reaction to the volume of her cry.

“Ma’am, who’s killing him?” he asked.

Glancing at the screen of the computer that served as Wynn’s 911 emergency call center, he saw that the call was coming from the residence of Earl and Edna Cox of Thunderbush Lane. A small map had popped up, highlighting the location of the calling number and listing any pertinent information.

“I don’t know! The man just broke in our house! Please hurry!” she screamed.

Fallon keyed the microphone on the handheld radio, quickly giving the address of the fire and informing them that he was taking another call. Ignoring the reply, he said into the phone, “Okay, ma’am, we’re sending a car out there right now. Help is on the way. Just stay on the line with me, okay?”

“Please hurry!” she wailed again. The dog had stopped barking.

Picking up the microphone for the Sheriff’s Office radio, Fallon began calling out the situation. Immediately, a deputy on patrol responded. Though the roads were foul and growing worse, they had chained their tires and continued to run their routes as best they could. The deputy said he would head that way, estimating his arrival in ten minutes. This sounds like it’ll be over long before then, Fallon thought, but didn’t say. He knew wishing it so wouldn’t get anyone there any sooner.

Turning back to the phone, he said, “Ma’am, a deputy is on his way now. He’ll be there as soon as possible, okay?”

There was no answer. The line was still open, and he could hear faint shuffling sounds, like something brushing against the mouthpiece of Earl and Edna Cox’s phone.

“Ma’am?” Fallon said into the phone.

There was no response.

“Ma’am?” he asked again, again getting no reply. “Shit! Shit! Shit!” he raged as he grabbed the microphone for the radio again.

Changing frequencies, he began to notify the local rescue squad. They would be busy, with both a fire and an apparent assault to deal with.

Deputy Fallon didn’t know just how busy things were going to get.

A World Beyond Trump: Hidden in Plain Sight for 1400 Years, Part 2

You can find this incredible story in a book, Jesus Sutras by Martin Palmer… a Must read…..

Encounters of Faith in Asia: Past, Present and Future

What does the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and 7th century Chinese Christianity have in common? Not much. Except the fact that there is a world beyond Trump, beyond the bombastic rhetoric and the chasms of fear and racism some of his comments have opened.

For many people living in the USA (Republicans included), Trump being the front-runner at this stage is nothing short of a disaster. For many people outside the country, his candidacy and remarks only confirms some of their worst fears about the United States. I am a political independent, and don’t know whether to be more astounded at some of the things he says, or the fact that he is still has so much support with the primaries about to begin.

But there is a world beyond Donald Trump. And beyond the political discourse and future of the United States. As there was in…

Thoughts from Doug Balfour on what does Good News look like……

Doug Balfour's Blog

Isaiah 61 1-2

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,isaiah-scroll-l

because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn”

I always loved this passage of scripture. This and the corollary when Jesus quotes it in the synagogue in Nazareth as he starts his ministry (Luke 4.18-19). I am a fairly pragmatic guy. My attitude on becoming a Christian was “ OK, tell me what to do and I’ll try and go do it!” But with so many different and differing preachers, writers, interpretations, traditions and streams it often seems so difficult to know what to believe and what is the priority! So it was with relief that I read this and thought- well…

Holy Saturday – Waiting…… From NT Wright

They tried to keep Jesus safely dead then, and they try it still today. Again and again, when the newspapers or the radio stations want to talk about God, they ignore Jesus. We hear experts pro- claiming that science has disproved God — without realizing that the ‘god’ you could squeeze out of the picture by more and more scientific discoveries is not the God whom Christians worship. Our world is still full of the modern equivalents of high priests going to the governor to have a guard placed on the tomb — the sceptics appealing for help to the powerful. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
Sometimes, though, we Christians need to observe a Holy Saturday moment. On Holy Saturday, there is nothing you can do except wait. The Christian faith suffers, apparently, great defeats. There are scandals and divisions, and the world looks on and loves it, like the crowds at the foot of the cross. When the Pope visited the United Kingdom in September 2010, he spent almost all his time talking about Jesus while the commentators in the media spent almost all their time talking about sex. And where the church, through its own fault, has caused scandal, a time of silence may be appropriate. But God will do what God will do, in God’s own time. The world can plot and plan, but all of that will count for nothing when the victory already won on the cross turns into the new sort of victory on the third day. In many parts of the western world today, the church is almost apologetic, afraid of being sneered at.
It looks as though the chief priests of our culture, the Pharisees in today’s media, and even the political leaders, have won. Give them their day to imagine that. It’s happened before and it will happen again. The Romans tried to stamp out the Christian faith once and for all at the end of the third century, but within a few years more than half the empire had converted and the new emperor gave in. Many people in England were sceptical about Christian faith after the religious turmoil of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but great revivals of various different sorts took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth. Who knows what will happen next, after the sneering and scheming of the sceptics of our day? Our part is to keep Holy Saturday in faith and hope, grieving over the ruin of the world that sent Jesus to his death, trusting in the promises of God that new life will come in his way and his time. And there is usually something to be done in the present, even when times are sad and hard.
It took considerable courage for Joseph of Arimathea to go to Pontius Pilate and ask for Jesus’ body. Peter and the others had run away to hide because they were afraid of being thought accomplices of Jesus. Joseph had no such qualms, even after Jesus’ death. Some of Jesus’ followers might well have thought that, if the Romans had crucified him, he can’t have been the Messiah, so he must have been a charlatan. They might willingly have let the Romans bury him in a common grave, as they usually did after a crucifixion (always supposing there was anything left to bury once dogs, birds and vermin had done their work). But Joseph didn’t see it that way. A clean linen cloth; the tomb he had prepared for himself; and the security of a great stone. It all had to be done in haste, with the sabbath approaching (that’s why the two Marys were watching, so they could go back on the first day of the new week to complete what should be done to the body). But what was done was done decently. Sometimes, as we work for and with Jesus, it may feel a bit like that. We aren’t sure why we’ve got to this place, why things aren’t going as we wanted or planned, and the life seems to have drained out of it all.
That’s a Holy Saturday moment. Do what has to be done, and wait for God to act in his own way and his own time.
TODAY Help us, gracious Lord, to wait for your victory, and in the mean- time to serve you in whatever way we can.

What is the next thing you need to do?

We usually don’t plan well for crisis situations unless we work in crisis regularly . We were going to Phuket to spread the ashes of a dear friend on one of her favorite beaches. She had lost a two year battle to cancer. By the time we reached the Sarasin Bridge from the mainland to the Island, people were everywhere. We did not know that just a few hours earlier, a massive tsunami had struck six provinces in Southern Thailand. What were we to do?

The Beautiful, All-encompassing Kingdom of God

What an amazing one day shot in Bangkok from Phil Porter – national leader of YWAM Thailand about what the Kingdom of God looks like in all of its diversity….

Last Sunday was one of those classic, unforgettable days of being grateful to be called to be a missionary! Such an incredible, rich experience of the Kingdom of God in its fullness.
Singing in the choir at Christ Church alongside a new friend, Stephen, along with others from Nigeria, the Philippines, Ireland, etc. Meeting Stephen’s visiting friends from the States who recently adopted a 3-year-old girl from Ethiopia. Listening to a very thought-provoking sermon by a British pastor from Maylasia, who reminded us that Jesus’s 3 individual healings in Matthew 8 were of a leper, a Gentile and a woman – all less-than-worthy people in those days. Then watching the baptism of 5 new believers from 2 or 3 different countries. . . . But that was just the morning!
Later in the afternoon, I made my way to YWAM’s Rak Teh (Authentic Love) ministry, situated near the Grand Palace in the old section…

Many people had warned us and said it was too dangerous to enter Afghanistan, but we knew that if we would not go into a country where we were recruiting people to serve, we had no right to recruit them.

Steve Goode and Marie Bentley, high-school sweethearts from Tennessee, couldn’t have imagined all they would see through multiple decades of service to the poor and oppressed. Never shying away from God’s call, they have served in refugee camps and war zones and lived through personal illnesses and struggles. As long-term leaders of Youth With A Mission’s mercy ministries and efforts against human trafficking in Southeast Asia and beyond, Steve and Marie have brought healing and hope to thousands of people and continue to inspire others to do the same.

The path that the Goodes take us down in this book is exhilarating. Their practical blend of justice and spirituality propel them to Afghanistan, Thailand, India, Africa, and a thousand destinations in-between. Readers better prepare to have their hearts broken and their spirits lifted at the same time.”

Making Hacking Child’s Play

How does it keep happening? I mean why are websites so consistently hacked? Is it the work of sophisticated cyber-villains operating from underground lairs? As it turns out, many of today’s online attacks are mounted by kids – legally children – who simply have time, patience and access to Google.

In this session, we’re going to look at and execute a heap of online attacks with tools that even kids can use. You’ll learn just how easy it is to mount these attacks and most importantly, what it is you need to do to keep your apps secure not just from mischievous kids, but from cyber-criminals and even nation-state actors.

This talk is scary, entertaining and will make you distrusting of any kid with a PC.

Can Fractals Make Sense Of The Quantum World?

QUANTUM theory just seems too weird to believe. Particles can be in more than one place at a time. They don’t exist until you measure them. Spookier still, they can even stay in touch when they are separated by great distances.

Einstein thought this was all a bit much, believing it to be evidence of major problems with the theory, as many critics still suspect today. Quantum enthusiasts point to the theory’s extraordinary success in explaining the behaviour of atoms, electrons and other quantum systems. They insist we have to accept the theory as it is, however strange it may seem.

But what if there were a way to reconcile these two opposing views, by showing how quantum theory might emerge from a deeper level of non-weird physics?

If you listen to physicist Tim Palmer, it begins to sound plausible. What has been missing, he argues, are some key ideas from an area of science that most quantum physicists have ignored: the science of fractals, those intricate patterns found in everything from fractured surfaces to oceanic flows (see What is a fractal?).

Take the mathematics of fractals into account, says Palmer, and the long-standing puzzles of quantum theory may be much easier to understand. They might even dissolve away.

It is an argument that is drawing attention from physicists around the world. “His approach is very interesting and refreshingly different,” says physicist Robert Spekkens of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada. “He’s not just trying to reinterpret the usual quantum formalism, but actually to derive it from something deeper.”

That Palmer is making this argument may seem a little odd, given that he is a climate scientist working at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting in Reading, UK. It makes more sense when you learn that Palmer studied general relativity at the University of Oxford, working under the same PhD adviser as Stephen Hawking.

So while Palmer has spent the last 20 years establishing a reputation as a leading mathematical climatologist, he has also continued to explore the mysteries of his first interest, quantum theory (see “Quantum ambitions”).

“It has taken 20 years of thinking,” says Palmer, “but I do think that most of the paradoxes of quantum theory may well have a simple and comprehensible resolution.”

Arguments over quantum theory have raged since the 1920s, starting with a series of famous exchanges between Einstein and the Danish physicist Niels Bohr.

Bohr and his supporters believed that the theory’s successful description of atoms and radiation meant you should abandon old philosophical concepts, such as the idea that objects have definite properties even when no one is there to measure them.

Einstein and his followers countered that such radicalism was wildly premature. They argued that much of the quantum weirdness was nothing more than a lack of adequate knowledge. Find a quantum system’s “hidden variables”, Einstein suspected, and quantum theory might make common sense, a view that quantum enthusiasts thought was ultra conservative and out of touch. The argument rages to this day.

Fractals unite

Palmer believes his work shows it is possible that Einstein and Bohr may have been emphasising different aspects of the same subtle physics. “My hypothesis is motivated by two concepts that wouldn’t have been known to the founding fathers of quantum theory,” he says: black holes and fractals.

Palmer’s ideas begin with gravity. The force that makes apples fall and holds planets in their orbit is also the only fundamental physical process capable of destroying information. It works like this: the hot gas and plasma making up a star contain an enormous amount of information locked in the atomic states of a huge number of particles. If the star collapses under its own gravity to form a black hole, most of the atoms are sucked in, resulting in almost all of that detailed information vanishing. Instead, the black hole can be described completely using just three quantities – its mass, angular momentum and electric charge.

Many physicists accept this view, but Palmer thinks they haven’t pursued its implications far enough. As a system loses information, the number of states you need to describe it diminishes. Wait long enough and you will find that the system reaches a point where no more states can be lost. In mathematical terms, this special subset of states is known as an invariant set. Once a state lies in this subset, it stays in it forever.

A simple way of thinking about it is to imagine a swinging pendulum that slows down due to friction before eventually coming to a complete standstill. Here the invariant set is the one that describes the pendulum at rest.

Because black holes destroy information, Palmer suggests that the universe has an invariant set too, though it is far more complicated than the pendulum.

Complex systems are affected by chaos, which means that their behaviour can be influenced greatly by tiny changes. According to mathematics, the invariant set of a chaotic system is a fractal.

Fractal invariant sets have unusual geometric properties. If you plotted one on a map it would trace out the same intricate structure as a coastline. Zoom in on it and you would find more and more detail, with the patterns looking similar to the original unzoomed image.

Gravity and mathematics alone, Palmer suggests, imply that the invariant set of the universe should have a similarly intricate structure, and that the universe is trapped forever in this subset of all possible states. This might help to explain why the universe at the quantum level seems so bizarre.

For example, it may point to a natural explanation for one of the biggest puzzles of quantum physics, what physicists refer to as its “contextuality”. Quantum theory seems to insist that particles do not have any properties before they are measured. Instead, the very act of measurement brings their properties into being. Or, put another way, quantum systems have meaning only in the context of the particular experiments performed on them.

Ever since Einstein, many physicists have hoped that a new approach might go beyond quantum theory and find a way to restore belief in objective and independent properties. But in 1967, mathematicians Simon Kochen and Ernst Specker published a theorem showing that this dream, if possible, cannot be done in quite the way physicists would like.

Central to Kochen and Specker’s theorem is a thought experiment. Say you choose to measure different properties of a quantum system, such as the position or velocity of a quantum particle. Each time you do so, you will find that your measurements agree with the predictions of quantum theory. Kochen and Specker showed that it is impossible to conceive a hypothesis that can make the same successful predictions as quantum theory if the particles have pre-existing properties, as would be the case in classical physics.

This result has driven many physicists to reach a startling conclusion about how to interpret quantum theory. Either you have to abandon the existence of any kind of objective reality, instead believing that objects have no properties until they are measured, or you have to accept that distant parts of the universe share a spooky connection that allows them to share information even when the distance and timing means that no signal could have passed between them without travelling faster than light.

Palmer’s idea suggests a third possibility – that the kinds of experiments considered by Kochen and Specker are simply impossible to get answers from and hence irrelevant.

The key is the invariant set. According to Palmer’s hypothesis, the invariant set contains all the physically realistic states of the universe. So any state that isn’t part of the invariant set cannot physically exist.

Suppose you perform the Kochen-Specker thought experiment and measure the position of an electron. Then you ask what you would have found if you repeated the experiment, only this time measuring the electron’s velocity instead.

According to Palmer, when you repeat the experiment you are testing a hypothetical universe that is identical to the real one except that the position-measuring equipment is replaced with velocity-measuring equipment.

This is where the fractal nature of the invariant set matters. Consider a place of interest you want to visit along a coastline. If you get the coordinates even slightly wrong you could end up in the sea rather than where you want to be. In the same way, if the hypothetical universe does not lie on the fractal, then that universe is not in the invariant set and so it cannot physically exist.

Due to the spare and wispy nature of fractals, even subtle changes in the hypothetical universes could cause them to fall outside the invariant set. In this way, Spekkens says, Palmer’s hypothesis may help to make some sense of quantum contextuality.

“I think his approach is really interesting and novel,” says Spekkens. “Other physicists have shown how you can find a way out of the Kochen-Specker problem, but this work actually provides a mechanism to explain the theorem.”

Following on from this, Palmer believes that many other features of quantum theory also fall into place. For example, quantum theory is famous for making only statistical predictions – it can only tell you the probability of finding an electron with its quantum-mechanical spin pointing up.

This arises naturally, suggests Palmer, because quantum theory is blind to the intricate fractal structure of the invariant set. Just as our eyes cannot discern the smallest details in fractal patterns, quantum theory only sees “coarse grain approximations”, as if it is looking through fuzzy spectacles.

Other physicists seem inspired by the novelty of Palmer’s approach. “What makes this really interesting is that it gets away from the usual debates over multiple universes and hidden variables and so on,” says Bob Coecke, a physicist at the University of Oxford. “It suggests there might be an underlying physical geometry that physics has just missed, which is radical and very positive.”

Coecke points out that very few scientists working on fundamental physics have explored how fractals might be incorporated into the theory, even though they are commonplace in other parts of physics.

Palmer is hoping that will change. In a paper submitted to the journalProceedings of the Royal Society A, he shows how the basic idea can account for quantum uncertainty, contextuality and other quantum puzzles (

Many details still need to be fleshed out, says Coecke. “Palmer manages to explain some quantum phenomena,” he says, “but he hasn’t yet derived the whole rigid structure of the theory. This is really necessary.”

Palmer accepts the criticism and is hopeful that he will be able to improve his theory over time. In the best of worlds, he thinks his framework may provide a way to finally reunite the warring parties of Einstein’s and Bohr’s followers.

After all, the theory backs Einstein’s view that quantum theory really is incomplete. It is, Palmer says, blind to the fractal structure of the invariant set. If it wasn’t, it would see that the world is not only deterministic, but it never exhibits any spooky effects.

On the other hand, it also agrees with the view of Bohr and his followers: the properties of individual quantum systems are not independent of the entire world, especially the experiments we humans use to explore them. We are stuck with the disturbing fact that how we measure always influences what we find.

For now, quantum theory remains mysterious but its air of mystique may not last forever.

Quantum ambitions

When Tim Palmer finished his PhD in physics at the University of Oxford 30 years ago, he had the opportunity to work as a postdoc with Stephen Hawking at the University of Cambridge. The hot topic in theoretical physics back then was supergravity, a theory that aimed to include gravity in a universe with 11 dimensions.

Despite Hawking’s enthusiasm for the idea, Palmer remained lukewarm. Supergravity takes quantum theory as an unquestioned starting point and then tries to bring gravity within its fold, an approach Palmer found unappealing.

“I felt that quantum theory was at best a provisional theory,” Palmer recalls.

Instead, he switched to climate science where he rapidly established an international reputation. Today Palmer is known for pioneering a method called ensemble forecasting, which incorporates the role of chaos to create climate forecasts that include specific estimates of their own accuracy. But even as Palmer’s work became widely influential – so much so that he has taken a key role on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – he could never forget the quantum puzzles that so occupied him before.

What is a fractal?

Fractals are geometrical shapes that aren’t smooth like circles or rectangles. They are irregular structures with the same structure repeating on ever finer scales. No matter how much you blow up a picture of a fractal, it will always look the same.

The natural world contains many examples of fractals, including ferns, broccoli, river networks, blood vessels and coastlines.

Shining a Light on Hepatitis and HIV

Friday May 25, 2018

This article originally appeared on

May is Hepatitis Awareness Month and May 19, 2018 was Hepatitis Testing Day. The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) has a long-standing commitment to providing health care and support services for low-income people living with HIV (PLWH) who are coinfected with hepatitis C. RWHAP observes Hepatitis Awareness Month and Hepatitis Testing Day to highlight the importance of testing and treating people coinfected with HIV and viral hepatitis.

Partly fueled by the opioid epidemic, new hepatitis C infections more than tripled between 2010 and 2016. Although advances in HIV care and treatment result in longer life expectancy for PLWH, those who are coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C still have a high risk of liver-related illness and death. Viral hepatitis progresses faster and causes more liver-related health problems among people living with HIV than among those who do not have HIV. Approximately 25 percent of people living with HIV in the U.S. are co-infected.

Recent advances in treatment make it possible to win the fight against hepatitis C and save lives. A simple blood test can detect hepatitis C infection years before symptoms develop, and the recently FDA-approved treatment options for hepatitis C are a game-changer in the field of hepatitis C care and treatment. For the first time, persons infected with hepatitis C can be cured with all-oral, once-daily treatment regimens that last 8-24 weeks and have minimal side effects.

Experts recommend that all people living with HIV/HCV coinfection be tested for HCV and, if positive, considered for HCV treatment because being cured of HCV can prevent liver disease and liver cancer and greatly improve health outcomes.

[RFE] Ability to define friend URL for Same Origin security model

18 years ago
18 years ago

(Reporter: netdragon, Assigned: security-bugs)

Firefox Tracking Flags

(Not tracked)

18 years ago
I guarantee this is already posted in some bug, but I couldn't find one so I
will take a stab.

The current security model doesn't allow pages with a different domain to access
each other through a frame, iframe, etc.

The thing is that there are times when a page is spread across multiple domains.
It would be nice if you could define a friend url - such as:

<friend url="http://www.foo.com/">

This would allow all pages at foo.com to be able to access this page through a
frame element.

<friend url="http://www.foo.com/somedir/">

This would allow all pages at www.foo.com/somedir to access this page through a

<friend url="http://www.foo.com/somedir/somefile.html">

Well you get the picture.

Alernatively, you could define many pages in the tag by seperating with a semicolon.

Basically, doing so would act as if a page was on the same domain.

18 years ago
Severity: normal → enhancement
How necessary is this? There are several ways around Same Origin. Setting
document.domain fulfills this function. The only sites that can't use
document.domain are sites that don't have a domain element in common. (if a site
really wanted to, it could set document.domain to ".com", and any page in .com
could interact with it) How many sites are there that want to be able to do this
and don't have a domain suffix in common? I think this is rare, and may not
justify adding a new HTML tag. Comments?

Comment 2

18 years ago
Document.domain is too limiting. For instance, if one has pages on both
geocities.com and angelfire.com for the same site, and want to access one page
through the frameset of the other, then document.domain wouldn't work. Besides,
a page on geocities would have access to other people's pages on geocities
using the current model. I think this defeats the whole purpose of having the
security. Why someone would want to put a site on geocities or angelfire is
beyond me, but there are other examples. For instance, company.bizland.com
would have access to company2.bizland.com if document.domain was set to

Basically, I think this security model is severely limited.

Comment 3

18 years ago
As an alternative to using the friend tag, one could set document.friends.
Document.friends would be an array. Each element of the array would define a
new friend. You might argue that this is not part of the DOM, but then again is

I believe that
document.friend[number].href="somedomain.com/somedir/" should only allow files
in that dir.
should allow all subdirectories.
should allow all directories in the root dir that start with some, and their

If no domain is given then it means relative to the current dir.

I believe this would be much more powerful than document.domain.

Frame 1 = www.angelfire.com/~bodiddly2/a.html

for a.html to access the document containing its frame (_top I think), it would
have to be declared as a friend. For frames.html to access a.html, a.html would
have to declare frames.html as a friend.

Asking me why I would rather have this when document.domain works well is like
asking me why I would want a 2000 Volvo S80 when my 1983 Volvo still works.
I realize that what you propose would be more powerful than document.domain.
What I am trying to determine is
1) How many people actually have a need for this level of flexibility. How many
sites would actually use it? To date, I've only seen one report of a site that
tried to do cross-frame communication between hosts with no common subdomain.
(some bank in Canada)

2) Would the added flexibility you propose be worth the added complexity it
would require? Remember, if we add this feature, it would only work on Netscape
6 browsers. The site will not work for anyone vissiting it with IE, Netscape 4,
etc. You and I know that other browsers don't matter ;) but this is the question
that 98% of website owners will ask. Result - no one will use your "friend" feature.

Sorry to be practical, but that's the case.

Comment 5

18 years ago
As far as I know, IE and Netscape 4 don't have this security model. I might be
wrong, but I think that cross-frame communication between domains would work on
IE and Netscape 4. Therefore, the programmer would need to sniff out whether it
is Netscape 6 or Mozilla, and if so then use the friend javascript function.
Otherwise they do nothing. Therefore, I don't think that this would stop it
from working on other browsers. It is the same kind of thing as document.domain

Who would use this feature? I really don't know. We cannot guess about who will
want this in the future. I can tell you though that if people want to do cross
domain framing and Netscape 6 doesn't work, then they will be pretty angry all
their work was for nothing. People have some pretty strange sites out there, so
I would guess there are a reasonable amount of people doing this.

All I know is that it would be a good feature and definately is not an invalid
bug. I think that maybe someone might be bored and pick this up in the future.
As for whether I think it should be implemented right away: definately no -
there are more important things to do.

Comment 6

18 years ago
See also bug 55137.
Mitchell: To give a real world use of this, in the test case management system
I'm intending to write, I'd like the test cases in one frame to be able to tell
the "controlling" frame what the result of the test was, so that the controlling
frame can manage all the results. This works fine on the current version, where
the driver code and the test cases reside on the same domain, but the version
I'm intending to write is supposed to be able to point to any test case on the
web. My controlling frame would want to make all the testcases be its "friends".

Similarly, the controlling frame will want to be able to hook in to the test
cases to add onload and onunload handlers, or to add a results submission form
using the DOM. For this, the test case needs a way to say that it trusts the
controlling frame.

Or alternatively, the user needs a way of promoting a frame/page to "godlike"
status (maybe after prompting from the webpage, as sometimes occurs in IE).

At the moment I am not sure how to implement all this.

Marking NEW to get off our Unconfirmed radar. You can continue the discussion there.
Ever confirmed: true
Summary: Ability to define friend URL for Same Origin security model → [RFE] Ability to define friend URL for Same Origin security model
  The best way to "promote" a page is to sign it. In your example, your testcase
management system could have a signed page. A signed page can be given access to
any page on the Web.

The problem with giving privileges to unsigned pages is that they are relatively
easy to spoof.

Aside from the fact that certificates can be expensive, why are people so
resistant to using signed scripts?

Comment 10

18 years ago
I don't know how to do signed scripts. It sounds like something very
complicated. When I think of signed scripts, I think of something you have to
pay for. I bet that feeling is shared. I bet some people haven't even heard of
them. This is something that would be harder to spoof than document.domain. For

Site 1: www.geocities.com/~randym
Site 2: www.geocities.com/~michael
Site 3: florida.geocities.com/~michaelm
Site 3: www.angelfire.com/~blahdedah

With document.domain, randym site would have access to the michael site even
without document.domain I believe. Easy spoofing there. With document.domain,
randym would have access to michael even though it was meant for michaelm =
easy spoofing. With my scheme, even if sites were on the same server, they
might not have access to the same files because directories can be included in
the friend url. On spoofing: if a site has a security leak where people can add
scripts and gain access, that is the site's problem, not the browser's.

Comment 11

18 years ago
BTW: As long as signed scripts cost 1 cent I will not use them.

Comment 12

18 years ago
Also, signed scripts might work for Hixie in his copy of Bugzilla, but what
about for the people that use his code to make their own Bugzilla?
Mitchell: Well, their cost is the main reason. However, I'm willing to
investigate further -- there may be other blocking problems. What URI should I
start from if I want to do this?

Comment 14

18 years ago
Note: The only security risk with this is on bulletin. Then the person posting
could put in the friend javascript or tag. I don't really see what this would
accomplish since bulletin boards don't really have much to access on the
document. But, bulletin boards could easily block this from occurring. Note:
This tag has to be placed on EACH PAGE that wants to allow friends access - so
one messageboard page having this (or one geocities page) would not give access
to the rest of the messageboard (or geocities site).
  Take a look at

I think there are some CA's that sell single-user certificates for as low as $25
or so. The major drawback to signed scripts right now is that you have to sign
the whole HTML page along with the script, and load the page using the
jar:http://... protocol, which isn't compatible with NS4.7 or other browsers.
I'm working on re-enabling the old signed script syntax, where you can write the
html page normally and the signature can live in a separate file.

> BTW: As long as signed scripts cost 1 cent I will not use them.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't want to pay for a certificate, but not
everything in life is free. Verifiable proof of your identity is a service which
costs money, just like the fee you pay to get a driver's license.

>It sounds like something very complicated.
It ain't. See the websites above.

>I bet some people haven't even heard of them.
Well, it's more likely they've heard of a feature that's been around since
Netscape 3.0 than one that has never existed.

>With document.domain, randym site would have access to the michael site even
>without document.domain I believe.

Yes, and this will continue to be the case. I'm aware of the Geocities problem,
and I proposed a preliminary idea for a solution in bug 55137. Even if we were
to adopt this friend URL scheme, all pages on GeoCities would continue to have
access to each other, because we couldn't possibly _require_ use of the friend
syntax. That would break about 80% of the pages on the Web. I don't think
Geocities is a big problem: the point of the same origin policy is to keep an
attacker from reading sensitive data out of another browser window that they
couldn't have accessed directly, such as my bank balance or a page behind a
corporate firewall. I don't think there's much limited-access information on
Geocities that an attacker couldn't just visit and see for himself.

> On spoofing: if a site has a security leak where people can add
> scripts and gain access, that is the site's problem, not the browser's.

You misunderstood me. I was talking about spoofing entire sites, with a rogue
DNS server for example, not adding scripts to a site. Without signing (or SSL),
there is no guarantee that the site you're connected to is the site you think it is.

Your "friend URL" scheme can't replace document.domain, because we can't abandon
an API used by many sites on the Web.

err scratch the eventlistener, and change contentDocument.location to

Sorry for the confusion. Thats what happens when you have fried your brain on

I don't think we want to do this, for reasons described above. If we introduce a
new security API like this at this point, few people will use it, and if anyone
does use it, we'll be committed to supporting it indefinitely, and I'm not sure
we want to do that. There are other ways for sites to share data. I'm marking

//The History of Lake Mead

The History of Lake Mead

What is Lake Mead?

As the largest reservoir in the United States, Lake Mead is definitely worth visiting on your Las Vegas vacation. The lake is formed by the Hoover Dam and sits on the Colorado River about a 40-minute drive from the Las Vegas strip. It supplies water to residents in Nevada, Arizona, and California. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area was established in 1964 and offers a variety of activities to visitors year-round.

What is there to do at Lake Mead?

Lake Mead is the perfect place to start your day in Las Vegas. The recreation area offers opportunities on the water and off the water. You can enjoy your day out on the lake boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and even scuba diving. If you would prefer to be off the water, there are opportunities for biking, hunting, hiking, picnics, walking trails, horseback riding, and much more. Lake Mead has many beautiful scenic views so it’s the perfect place for exploring the natural landscape and observing the wildlife. If you don’t have a lot of time to spend in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, you can take a scenic drive and observe the mountains, desert basins, and canyons.

What is the best way to see Lake Mead?

If you don’t have a car to drive out to Lake Mead and aren’t interested in renting one, we can pick you up right from your Las Vegas strip hotel and take you on a scenic ATV tour of Lake Mead and the surrounding areas. This is one of the most unique and fun ways to explore Lake Mead because you’ll be riding through the recreation area on an ATV and be able to see the beautiful scenery of Lake Mead and the Colorado River. Want to go for a swim? You can jump into the Colorado River at the halfway point of our tour. Most people don’t get a tour guide for their trip to Lake Mead, but we’ll provide you with the facts of the lake and the river. Don’t worry about getting hungry along the way because we’ll even provide you with lunch. If you’re limited for time and want to see and do everything at Lake Mead and still make it back to the strip in time to enjoy the night life, a tour is the way to go. We’ll have you back at your hotel within six hours from the start of your tour so you don’t have to worry about missing the party at night! Don’t pass up the opportunity to see some of Nevada’s most outstanding nature.

NJ Actuarial Reports – The Believable Numbers 6/30/17

The June 30, 2017 actuarial reports for the New Jersey Retirement System are out and there are a few numbers therein that can be taken seriously (none involving liabilities or even the market value of assets considering all those self-valued alternative investments). The main purpose of these official actuarial reports is to determine the ‘required’ contributions which practically all parties have a vested interest in understating so we get a bunch of fanciful numbers where possible. However, these numbers you can’t pretty up:

The next few blogs will examine the 2017 valuation reports in detail but when you put these believable numbers in historical perspective going back to 6/30/11 a definite pattern emerges with outflow steadily rising and inflow varying with political whims.

    Oh My………….

    Hey, Tim Alexander, Triune self-proclaimed “economist”, is Mr. Bury wrong too, as he too is showing $10.4 Billion in total pension payouts, NOT your figure of $17.3 Billion ?

    • Posted by Anonymous on December 19, 2017 at 4:48 pm

      Shut up!

      • Posted by Tough Love on December 19, 2017 at 5:01 pm

        We understand……….. you and your ilk (being public sector workers/retirees) SUPPORT Tim’s proposed “bailout” of Public Sector pensions …….. or as actuary May Pat Campbell more correctly describes Tim’s “model” …. DRAIN THE TREASURY.

        • Posted by George on December 20, 2017 at 10:15 am

          Tim’s “model”

          The money for the proposed bailout has to come from somewhere, and the Fed claims to be generating it. It is possible that the people behind the pension rehabilitation loan scheme are thinking the same thing. Is there a link to how the actual loan program will work?

    • Haven’t followed that part of the blog recently but if there was a $17.3 billion payout number that would have included OPEB payouts since that is a pass through for some reason and $7 billion seems about right for OPEB cost.

      • Posted by skip3house on December 19, 2017 at 5:42 pm

        OPEB Other Postemployment Benefits (or OPEB) are benefits (other than pensions) that U.S. state and local governments provide to their retired employees. These benefits principally involve health care benefits, but also may include life insurance, disability, legal and other services.
        You guys drive me nuts with your shorthand because you touch this alot….

    • Posted by Anonymous on December 19, 2017 at 5:19 pm

      TL wrong, say it isn’t so. Nope there’s ALWAYS a twist & shout b/c TL never pouts!

    • TA:
      “For 2016 the pension paid $17.3 billion in benefits while new additions (including investment income) was $11.3 billion.  Based on a single year this fund is in trouble, but what of three, five, and eight year trends?”

      Clearly the point is that outgo is greater than income (the fund is in trouble). In answering his own question, the three an five year trends are similar; more going out than coming in.

      “Tim, If you werren’t such a pompous ass …… ”
      Way to elevate the discussion, Mr. Love. You makes us proud.

      • Posted by Tough Love on December 19, 2017 at 10:51 pm

        YOU talk about elevating a discussion ……….. lol.

      • Posted by Tough Love on December 19, 2017 at 11:29 pm

        You seems annoyed that I called Tim “a pompous ass”, making it sound like I did that while correcting his figure from $17.3 Billion to $10.4 Billion.

        Why didn’t you show the TRUE REASON why I called Tim “a pompous ass”?

        If you look back a the specific comments, you’ll see that I called him a pompous ass BECAUSE in response to my correcting him HE replied to me (in part) as follows:

        “Observing your math is as flawed as your thinking, I wish I was in retail and could give you change. You would never know what was correct. You are a truly remarkable creature, one that should be studied in a zoo. With one lungful of air you scream that all in public pensions should be punished. In the next you misquote facts to defend the same.”

        Given that response from Tim, my “pompous ass” response to Tim was eminently justified.

        And do you know what YOU are for intentionally making my response to Tim appear to be something that it was not?

        A Pompous Ass.

    And what happens when member contributions go to zero after switching from a DB to a DC? Considering the net projected health coverage savings is ~$1B, if you can believe them on that? Any constitutional amendment on reforms needs to include funding the accrued benefits or it’s DOA!

    • Posted by PS Drone on December 19, 2017 at 7:51 pm

      The only reforms coming are reductions in retiree benefit payments.

    • Posted by Tough Love on December 19, 2017 at 11:43 pm

      The Commission’s SPECIFIC recommendation re that Constitutional-funding amendment follows. Pay particular attention to the 2-nd paragraph (and the words “only” and “first”).

      Commit the State, by constitutional amendment, to a set payment schedule intended
      to stabilize, over 30 years, funding of State pension benefits earned to that date.
      Most of the added cost of the scheduled payments can be realized from health
      benefits reforms.

      Crucially, this commitment should only be made in exchange for reforms making benefits affordable to the State’s taxpayers. Constitutionalizing funding without first ensuring the funding is sustainable is an invitation to fiscal chaos. It would repeat, in an irrevocable manner, the cycle of extending benefits beyond taxpayers’ funding tolerance that led to the current crisis.

      • “Commit the State, by constitutional amendment, to a set payment schedule intended to stabilize, over 30 years, funding of State pension benefits earned to that date.”

        So most of that cost would be incurred after Generation Greed has cashed in and moved for Florida. Meanwhile, younger generations of public employees would be screwed because the only benefits protected would be those previously earned.

        Pretty damn evil.

        • Posted by Tough Love on December 20, 2017 at 5:47 pm

          You won’t see me DISAGREE that there is MORE than sufficient justification to materially reduce Public Sector pension PAST service accruals, both for those still active and for those already retired.

          In fact, doing so is not only justifiable, but fairer to the younger/shorter-service actives. Anyone with a brain now knows that most of the pension contributions of the younger/shorter-service actives aren’t being saved and invested for THEIR retirements, but instead are being diverted to continue the grossly excessive pensions of those that came before them.

    I have an idea that NJ unions, democrats and democrat gov do not recognize what 1 billion is, never mind 10 billion. Just my thought.

    • Posted by skip3house on December 19, 2017 at 9:34 pm

      Maybe twenty thousand NFL full stadiums, each with fifty thousand fans for a billion people? ‘Course ten times that for ten billion…? Good point.

  4. When pension funds are this deep in the hole, the only way out is for contributions to rise as high as benefit payments, allowing long-term returns (if any) to gradually restore the asset base until it is enough to cover most benefits.

    That looks like another $5 billion going in, and rising. The BEA reports the total personal income of NJ residents was $550 billion in 2016, and the month earned at work in the state was $364 billion. It would appear that if people don’t flee the state to avoid funding their previously shirked burden, then one percent more is going to have to be taken out of their hides. Plus money for the state’s infrastructure deficit.

  5. […] believable numbers from the latest actuarial […]

  6. […] the latest actuarial reports (which incidentally are missing from the state website but we have the blog made up when they were available) the system has cash flow […]

Ryan Reynolds continues Instagram battle with wife Blake Lively

By Emmy Griffiths

Ryan Reynolds has teased his wife, Blake Lively, by posting a shot of her looking worse for wear while filming her new movie, The Rhythm Section. The Gossip Girl actress looked unrecognizable while wearing purple jogging bottoms, and a large puffer jacket over an oversized red T-shirt. The Deadpool actor shared a snap of his wife, writing: "#nofilter."

READ: Ryan Reynolds thanks Vancouver police for helping with Deadpool 2 filming

A post shared by Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds) on

Fans were quick to share a giggle over the photo, with one writing: "Haha it's hilarious how much he makes fun of his wife on here," while another added: "My dad walked past her. He didn't know anything about a movie being filmed and he said that a short woman with brown hair and a red coat walked past him with cameras following her." The pair regularly tease each other on social media, and Blake recently posted a photo of her husband almost cut out of a photo with Ryan Gosling, writing: "Happy birthday baby."

Ryan and Blake talked about their marriage

The 41-year-old celebrated Blake's birthday in a similar fashion, and posted a photo of them posing together, with Blake largely cut out of the photo, writing: "Happy Birthday to my amazing wife." The Green Lantern actress has previously opened up about the secret to her happy marriage with Ryan, writing: "In other relationships, if something came up I would call my girlfriends or my sister, and say, 'Hey, this is what he did – what should I do?' Whereas with him, we were friends for two years before we were ever dating. And I treat him like my girlfriend."

She continued: "I'm like, 'Hey, this happened. It upset me. This is how I feel. What do I do?' He does the same for me. He treats me like his best buddy." Ryan has also spoken sincerely about his wife, telling Humans of New York: "She always responds with empathy. She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She'll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she's made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn't want to remember. She made me remember the good times."

Canadian firms see pickup in sales growth: central bank survey

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian companies remain optimistic about sales growth despite trade uncertainties, the Bank of Canada said on Monday in a report that boosted the currency and reinforced expectations of further interest rate hikes down the line.

FILE PHOTO: A Canadian flag flutters in front of the Detroit skyline, dominated by General Motors headquarters (R), is seen from Windsor, Onatario, Canada January 14, 2018. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst

Intentions to increase business investment were widespread, though slightly lower than previously, and firms on balance expected capacity pressures would intensify over the next year due to strong sales prospects and expected difficulties finding workers, the first-quarter business survey showed.

While U.S. protectionism has delayed some investment, strong demand from south of the border is seen boosting sales, the central bank said in its closely watched survey that showed continued positive business sentiment after a strong 2017.

Still, some firms feared the lift from U.S. economic growth could be tempered by rising protectionism and reduced competitiveness.

The survey “indicates that the economy isn’t feeling all that much pain from the effects of policy changes in the U.S. and uncertainty about trade relations,” said Royce Mendes, senior economist at CIBC Economics.

“It remains to be seen if the opinions expressed here are borne out in hard data, which have yet to provide any clear direction.”

The Canadian dollar added to gains against the greenback following the release, touching a near six-week high. [CAD/]

The central bank has raised rates three times since July 2017 and markets see a nearly 80 percent likelihood it will hike again this July. Policymakers are watching how indebted households handle higher borrowing costs and how the North American Free Trade Agreement renegotiations fare. BOCWATCH

The survey showed inflation expectations over the next two years picked up, partly driven by rising labor costs, while the view that labor shortages have intensified over the past year was widespread.

In particular, firms in British Columbia and Central Canada described hiring conditions as difficult.

While most firms expect inflation will remain within the bank’s 1-to-3 percent target, just over half now expect inflation to be in the upper half of that range, the bank said.

In a separate survey of loan officers, the bank said demand for low-ratio and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) increased slightly in the first quarter, driven by recent changes to underwriting standards. Respondents expect a decrease in demand in the next quarter.
