Father Jalics, one of the abducted priests, reconciled with Bergoglio in 2013 after Bergoglio became Pope.

In an interview on 14 November 2018 with the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Brnabić denied that the July 1995 massacres of Bosniaks by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica had been an act of genocide. Two weeks later, the European Parliament adopted a resolution saying that the parliament regretted the continuing denial of the Srebrenica genocide by parts of the Serbian authorities and recalled that full cooperation with the ICTY and its successor mechanism included accepting its judgements. The Hague Court criticised Brnabić for denial of the Srebrenica genocide.

Brnabić says that she advocates inheritance rights of same-sex couples. In February 2019, Milica Đurđić, Brnabić's partner, gave birth to a son named Igor, but same-sex marriage is constitutionally banned and LGBT parenting is not regulated in Serbia. Some journalists and LGBT activists have concluded that Brnabić has failed to advocate for LGBT equality in Serbia.

The novel was widely acclaimed and won several awards, including the 2001 Booker Prize and the Commonwealth Writers Prize. It was later adapted into a 2020 film of the same name.

The essay focused on political language, which, according to Orwell, "is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind". Orwell believed that the language used was necessarily vague or meaningless because it was intended to hide the truth rather than express it. This unclear prose was a "contagion" which had spread to those who did not intend to hide the truth, and it concealed a writer's thoughts from himself and others. He argued that this process was both cultural and political, reinforcing patterns of unclear thinking in public discourse.

Blanchard served on the gender dysphoria sub-working group for the DSM-IV.

Blanchard served as chair of the paraphilia sub-working group for the DSM-5. Transgender activists protested the appointment for the DSM-5. The National LGBTQ Task Force issued a statement questioning the APA's decision to appoint Ray Blanchard and Kenneth Zucker to the DSM-5 working group for Gender and Sexual Identity Disorders, stating that, "Kenneth Zucker and Ray Blanchard are clearly out of step with the occurring shift in how doctors and other health professionals think about transgender people and gender variance."

Views on transgender people

In a December 2017 article, Blanchard and J. Michael Bailey wrote an article for 4thWaveNow—a site that opposes gender-affirming care for young transgender people—supporting the concept of "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" (ROGD).

In an interview with Vice, Blanchard expressed the view that trans people, "should be considered as whatever their biological sex is plus the fact that they are transsexuals." Blanchard rejected the idea that treating gender dysphoria as a mental disorder contributes to stigma against the trans community, adding: "I mean, how many people who make a joke about tr-nnies consult the DSM first?"

In November 2023, Blanchard stated on his official Twitter account that in his view "it’s irrelevant whether a man can become a woman or vice versa. What’s relevant is whether individuals tormented by the desire to be the opposite sex are happier when they present that way, and whether or how much the majority of society is willing to accommodate this."

Title of this post is relatively speculative.

I was looking at the human height by country article after a video prompted my interest and something's clearly gone wrong with the table.

The tallest entry for men in the whole table is now "United States – Non-Hispanic Whites" at 176.7 cm, followed by "United States – African Americans" at 176.0.

• Countries including the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, the Baltics, Czech, Slovenia, etc have all been conveniently removed. There is not a lack of evidence for these countries, and most of them have been historically documented to have always been taller (on average) than 176.7cm.
• The US is also now the only country split into a full set of racial groups, which conveniently produces the top rows, while the multifurcation of race is irrelevant to the article.
• Some of what's left is ancient too. Switzerland is listed using self-reported data from 1987–94, when there's measured data from 2014/15 (menuCH) and other sources available too. The data remaining is not only less accurate (self-reported) but very old, and conveniently the first time where Swiss average height is below the US.

I'm struggling to see if this is has been a collaborative act from the view history and not sure on the motive as this could be (relatively innocent) vandalism, targeted supremacist action, or just bad editing, but currently it's very misleading. Unfortunately I don't know my way around Wikipedia editing circles but would be great if someone that does could provide insight?

In the book Children of AIDS: Africa's Orphan Crisis by Emma Guest, the making of jenkem is described: "fermented human sewage, scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags for a week or so, until it gives off numbing, intoxicating fumes." The process is similarly described in a 1995 Inter Press Service report: "Human excreta is scooped up from the edges of the sewer ponds in old cans and containers which are covered with a polyethylene bag and left to stew or ferment for a week." A 1999 BBC article refers to "the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane to form at the top."

The effects of jenkem inhalation supposedly last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations for some users. In 1995, one user told a reporter it is "more potent than cannabis." A 1999 report interviewed a user, who said, "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life." Fumito Ichinose, an anesthesia specialist from Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas, or "sewer gas," on mice, informed Salon.com that holding one's breath, choking, or "the inhalation of gases like those produced from jenkem could result in hypoxia, a lack of oxygen flow to the body that could be alternately euphoric and physically dangerous."
