Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I have been studying Arabic since I was 14, and in my 7 years of study I have arrived at the conclusion that at the end of the day I study Arabic to make friends. Unfortunately making friends is not a major at my university where I often study the Middle East alongside many who aspire to work for the US State Department. However my interests align more with providing legal or economic support to those who need it in the Middle East (e.g.), which predicates studying the most accurate version of ancient and modern history available, so here I am. My hometown is often called "the live music capital of the world", and indeed I saw my first concert before I was conscious. Now that I am fully conscious I play the guitar (Mexican Stratocaster), the bass (American P-bass), but my true love is crate digging for samples. With respect to this digital resource, my best friend growing up was (and likely still is) Persian, so whenever I went over to his house I was lucky enough to eat Tahdig or Ghormeh Sabzi, and sometimes when I was really lucky his mother would invite me to cook with her. My favorite Farsi word I learned while spending countless hours with my friend and his family is the ever-useful and thus, ever-used "Khafe Sho".
