Together in Christ Groups begin planning ways to approach others with 'missionary zeal'

A gathering focused on the spirit of encounter and dialogue took place Sept. 9 (the feasts of St. Peter Claver and Blessed Frederic Ozanam) at the Athenaeum of Ohio.
"Together in Christ: Saying 'Yes' to Missionary Discipleship" brought together immigrants, the formerly incarcerated, women who have faced crisis pregnancies, victims of racism and other injustices, and family farmers with area respect life, social justice and charitable ministriy leaders. It was organized by the archdiocesan Catholic Social Action and Respect Life Offices, along with Advocates for Justice Parish Collaborative, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul-Cincinnati, Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio, the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center, and Communities United for Action.

"When you signed up for today, you may not have been exactly sure what you were coming to," said Tony Stieritz, director of the Social Action Office, in his opening remarks. "That makes it even more beautiful that you want to be here. Today is about prayer, celebration, encounter, affirmation and going forth."
Stieritz explained that the event was guided by Pope Francis' message of "The Joy of the Gospel" and by the Holy See's World Meeting of Popular Movements in California earlier this year, attended by a number of area representatives.
"By being here, you make the statement that we are against a culture of resentment and passionate about building a culture of unity and love," he said. "Our objective is both spiritual and practical—to walk away with what we can do next to bring this to our communities."
After a prayer offered by Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr, Father Dohrman Byers gave a reflection about missionary discipleship, which he said "at its simplest, is following Christ wherever the Gospel of life and liberty, justice and freedom, human dignity and care for creation needs to be proclaimed."
He spoke of the call to awaken others to "missionary zeal," noting that face-to-face encounters have moved him from awareness to zeal. "I've become convinced this is the way," Father Byers said. "Much slower than I would want, but one personal encounter at the time seems the only way, the Lord's way, to rouse the sluggish mass of the faithful.
"When I re-read Pope Francis' call to missionary discipleship, one thing I notice is that he doesn't start with the need for organization or publicity," he added. "He starts with spirituality. He talks about unfashionable, un-liturgical, 'popular piety' as a place where the poor and marginal
can be met in God. I get the sense that his sense of spirituality is wider than ours, or
at least mine."
By spirituality, he said, Pope Francis means prayer, "but also our talking to one another in the Spirit. One-on-one, face-to-face encounters are profoundly spiritual events, even when no prayer is uttered. Here we meet the Holy One in the sacred dignity and impenetrable wonder of another person. Following the presentation, participants worked in groups to develop statements of commitment to missionary discipleship that began with: "As we go forth, we say 'yes' to missionary discipleship by…" Among them:
• Building relationships with young people by planning opportunities and getting them there with a personal invitation.
• Holding environmental justice issues in prayer and finding ways to sit at the table where decisions are made.
• Committing to continue addressing prejudice and racism and to being reflections of God's love in all we do.
The Together in Christ planning team has since met to discuss next steps, Stieritz said. "In response to several parish leaders, we decided to encourage parishes to replicate Together in Christ events on a parish level – individually or as clusters.
"Our team will be helping to pull the gatherings together. Our hope is that an even broader constituency of the faithful will have the opportunity to experience the same unity, encounter, and call to action."

Rose tweaks hamstring in win over the Raptors on Thursday…

Rose thinking long-term with injuries: Former league MVP wants normal life after basketball.
Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah has told the media to "chill out" with their reaction every time team-mate Derrick Rose goes down with an injury.
Rose was forced to sit out the end of the win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night after he slipped and fell in the fourth quarter which tweaked his hamstring.
The 26-year-old has since insisted that it is minor and that he hopes to return to practice on Friday, but he was criticised for his comments earlier this week when suggesting that he would sit out games this season if he didn't feel he was 100% healthy for the sake of his life after basketball.
Both Mike Dunleavy and Pau Gasol came to his defence and insisted that he was still committed to the team this season, but it is undoubtedly frustrating to see one of the league's top stars consistently sidelined.
"I guess it's cramps in my hamstrings," Rose said. "But I think it's minor, and they decided to pull me out."
"I don't think it's that serious. Just ice it, stim, see if I can practice [Friday] and give it a go Saturday."
Having missed four games already this season with sprained ankles, Rose managed to score 20 points on 5-of-14 from the floor in 30 minutes while he also had four assists, three rebounds and five turnovers on the night.
However, while he seemed fairly relaxed in his assessment of the injury, team-mate Noah delivered a passionate defence of his 'little brother' and slammed the reaction to his injuries.
"Every time something happens to him, people act like it's the end of the world, and that's f—ing so lame to me. Relax. He's coming back from two crazy surgeries, obviously we're being conservative with him, and when things aren't going right, he's got to listen to his body more than anybody.
"So everybody needs to chill the f— out. I'm sorry for cursing but I'm really passionate. I don't like to see him down and he doesn't say that he's down, but I just don't like it when people portray him and judge him because it's not fair to him. It's not.
"We're going to be just fine. We're going to be just fine. We just got to take it — everybody just needs to chill out. Chill out."

Michael should´ve been played by HIM
(Ronan Farrow). It would be a super-meta
"poetic justice" and it would have made
"Mamma" Mia enormously happy...
(not that I care the least about her...)
I´ve watched the first 8 episodes so far and I´m liking it as much as (or a bit more) the "Hotel" Season. The Jessica Lange episode was a gift from TV Gods and proof of what a superb actress she is (I won´t be surprised when she´ll get another Emmy nomination for Best Guest Star in a Miniseries...and get it). Another thing I discovered is how much better the first 4 seasons were, independently from the theme or actors in them. Their cameos or comebacks are as welcome as they can be, and Paulson also excels in every character as usual. Maybe AHS´s future will be self-referencing itself with those crossovers until it´s definitely (and grossly) axed with an ax by the big honchos...now that Murphy has deserted to Netflix...In "Feud" we trust...

Last night I've watched some clips on YouTube and to me it seems like all these characters are trying to out-magic eachother with spontanous fire and people stuck on the ceiling and whatnot. The clips form Cult are even worse: stabbing and shooting people and that's it.
I've been thinking about buying the DVDs because AHS is no longer streaming here, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

Hänneschen-Theater[Hänneschen – Puppet Theatre of Cologne]
Traditional German puppet theatre. Located in Köln (Cologne, Germany), the theatre is named after one of its main characters, Hänneschen (Little Hannes or Jack), the "hero" of most of the plays. The Hänneschen-Theater was founded in 1802 by the German cabinetmaker Johann Christoph Winter (or Winters). It was a rod puppet theatre, a type of theatre in which the characters were controlled from underneath the stage.
By putting together the under-stage control of the crib-shows and the vigorous arm movements of the Antwerp over-head rods, Winter apparently conceived a type of puppet which combined both techniques. It has been difficult to find an earlier puppet of this type at this period in Western Europe. Most of the puppets are carried on a rod connected to the puppeteer by a special belt which allows the movements of the player to be transferred to the puppet. A second rod is attached to one of its arms to give it more movement. Some of the puppets, e.g. a snake, are manipulated using several rods. The figures were initially about 35 centimetres high but they soon doubled in size.
The theatre staged productions such as Faust, but Winter also produced a wide range of plays that seem to have been written by him in order to introduce a cast of characters typical of the Rhineland. They were led by Hänneschen, a jolly farmer in a red waistcoat, who lent his name to the theatre. The Hänneschen-Theater was copied in theatres all over the German-speaking area.
Winter's direction of the theatre ended in 1862, with his death at the age of 91, but it was carried on by others, and the theatre and the cast of characters grew in size. By 1980, the theatre had fallen on hard times but was taken over by Heribert Malchers in 1988 who initiated the writing of a fresh repertory introducing the familiar characters in plays relevant to contemporary life in Cologne. A musical accompaniment by four musicians plays a big part in what have become very elaborate scenic spectacles, while still preserving the simplicity of the original concept.
By 2007, the Hänneschen–Theater, located at the Eisenmarkt in Cologne, had 30 full-time employees, an inventory of 800 puppets and 1,800 costumes, and could seat 280 spectators. The Hänneschen-Theater is officially known as Hänneschen – Puppenspiele der Stadt Köln.

"Hang In There" by Michelle Drummond, Yarn and Acrylic on Canvas
Michelle Drummond's artwork exudes the true expression of a Caribbean's woman cultural pride, exuberance for life and adventure. Her collection of work reflects her journey from a wide eyed 19-year-old young woman who left her home country Jamaica, for the United States, an unfamiliar environment and culture, to evolving into a confident, proud woman and mother.
She discovered early in her journey while at University that manipulating yarn and acrylic paint on canvas was a creative outlet that helped her to function, navigate and survive this new and exciting world. Each piece of artwork is inspired by experiences at various stages in her adventures and has evolved over the years to reflect her strength, maturity and growth.


MALAYBALAY CITY (MindaNews/10 March) — Look at the world around you right now. It's beautiful, isn't it? Now look again and try to imagine what it would be like if it is filled with people who don't understand what the others are saying because they in speak different tongues. Wouldn't it be dreadful?
It might even be the cause of another world war. Chaos would be everywhere and soon enough the era of man would fall apart. Fortunately, we have an international language: English.
For years, we have lived quite harmoniously with other races because there is English to accommodate our need for communication. We may not share the same nationality, but at least we share a common language.
The English language has helped in so many ways more than we could even imagine. It has made countless nations prosper. It has brought humanity to great peaks of accomplishment. Through this language we have done life-changing things that have surpassed the expectations of our ancestors. English is a golden string that binds us all.
In this modern world that aims for globalization, being able to speak English is as important as the fuel is to a vehicle. Without that "fuel" progress would be hindered.
Many local companies right now only have people who know how to speak English well. It's very important especially when you're dealing with foreign clients. It's important when you're welcoming and entertaining tourists visiting the country. English language is imperative if we want our country to attain the progress it's craving for.
Through English, bloody and brutal wars have been avoided because countries resort to peace talks instead. That way, negotiations are settled not through guns and bullets but through words of friendship.
See? Other people may think that trying to learn English is just a waste of time, but when you know it, you'll realize how countless opportunities would be opened for you. It unites people of different races, making the have the heart to help another and accept their differences.

FSD3532 Finnish Youth Survey 2018
State Youth Council
Finnish Youth Research Society. Finnish Youth Research Network
European integration, adolescents, immigration, national identity, politics, social influence, trust
Themes of the Finnish Youth Survey 2018 included Europe and influencing decision-making in society. Questions charted attitudes towards immigration and Finland's position in the European Union, trust in various institutions, and expectations for the future.
First, the respondents were asked how interested they were in politics and how much they trusted various institutions, such as the Parliament, the President, the justice system, and the police. The respondents were also asked which political party they felt closest to and how likely it was that they would vote in the 2019 parliamentary elections. Views on the EU were surveyed with questions on, for example, whether the respondents thought of Europe as a geographical region or a union of values, thought EU membership had been beneficial for Finland, and felt that the free movement of people was important. Questions charted the respondents' opinions on whether Finland should try to influence various issues during its presidency of the Council of the EU in 2019 (e.g. environmental protection, gender equality, improving EU-Russia relations). The respondents' views on politicians and political parties in Finland were also examined.
Next, the respondents were asked whether they had ever personally aimed to influence decision-making in society (e.g. by voting, through civil disobedience, through consumer choices) and how effective they thought various ways of influencing decision-making were. Views on national identity were surveyed with questions on how important the respondents thought several factors, such as having been born in Finland or being able to speak Finnish or Swedish, were for being truly Finnish. The respondents' attitudes towards immigration were also examined with statements on, for example, whether they thought that immigrants diversified Finnish culture and that most immigrants came to Finland just to profit from benefits funded by taxes. The respondents were asked how important various matters, such as material wealth, democracy, health, and peace, were for them personally, as well as how they saw their own identity (e.g. whether they felt Finnish, European, multi-cultural, foreign). Finally, views on potential causes of uncertainty and instability in the future (e.g. climate change, international terrorism, the EU collapsing) were charted, and the respondents were asked how optimistic or pessimistic they were about the future.
Background variables included the respondent's gender, age, municipality of residence, mother tongue, level of education, economic activity and occupational status, household composition and income, level of education of R's mother and father, and length of possible unemployment.

Back in late August, 2014, we were in the midst of moving this 40-by-70-foot, two-story Carriage House from the northwest corner of Gore St. down 350 feet south. Once Gore St. was finished with its reconstruction, the Carriage House was relocated back near its original location. The house has come a long way (figuratively and literally), since the move.
In 1785, the newly wed Boston couple, Christopher and Rebecca Gore, bought their first piece of land in Waltham and in 1793 built a wooden mansion along with a large carriage house. Six years later, the mansion burned to the ground. Nearly 220 years later, the Carriage House still stands to this day.
Tonight, we were invited to attend the Carriage House Celebration Gala in rejoice of it's restoration. The event will begin at 6 PM and is set to run though the night. This historic building will house a wonderful evening filled with select cocktails, fine dinner, and good company.

A kōkūtai () was a military aviation unit in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS), similar to the air groups in other air arms and services of the time. Some comparable units included group in the British Royal Air Force, gruppe in the German Luftwaffe, and groupe in the French Armée de l'Air.

A kōkūtai could be based at land or on board aircraft carriers and could contain hundreds of men and aircraft. For example, the famous 343 Kōkūtai was a land-based fighter group while the 652nd Kōkūtai was a carrier-based bomber group. Kōkūtai were divided into smaller units called hikōtai, which were the equivalent of a squadron. Kōkūtai were usually divided into three hikōtai. In general, most pilots and aircrew in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service were non-commissioned officers. The word kōkūtai is abbreviated with the suffix "-ku" (空). The term "343 Ku", for example, stands for 343 Kōkūtai. In the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service (IJAAS) the equivalent unit was the sentai.

Organisation
Kōkūtai (air group) was equivalent to a US group or a RAF wing. A kōkūtai in the broadest terms could comprise a flight and base element of either a carrier or land based air group. In terms of the flight element, it was generally composed of 18 to 27 aircraft and took the name of the carrier or air station where it was originally formed. It could also be either homogeneous or composed of different types of aircraft. The land-based units had larger numbers of aircraft, and could number from approximately 24 to a 100 or more aircraft. They were more homogeneous and came under the command of the naval district where their home naval air station was located in, and later were designated either by a number or by the name of that particular station.

The air groups and stations outside those ports were placed under the command of the nearest naval base (chinjufu). From the establishment of the IJN's first land based air unit at Yokosuka Air Group, Yokosuka until the end of the Pacific war, the term kōkūtai meant both a naval air station and the flying unit that was stationed there. The flying unit (hikōtai) operated the aircraft, and the rest of the personnel of any kōkūtai operated and maintained the ground facilities of the station at which the unit was stationed. Just as the aircraft and flight crew on board a Japanese carrier or a seaplane tender were made an integral part of a ships complement, when land-based or shore based (seaplane) air units were formed, the bases at which they were stationed were seen as equivalent to the ship of assignment for the carrier-based hikōtai.  There were over 90 naval air groups at the start of the Pacific War.

History
The land-based kōkūtai system was set up in 1916, determined that naval air stations and air groups would be organized as needed, at either naval ports (gunkō) or strategic ports (yōkō). Their designations were taken from the names of those places and functioning under the authority of those stations. In 1919, the IJN set out new regulations that in a time of war, emergency or maneuvers provided for the organization of "special air groups" (tōkusetsu kōkūtai), which could be designated either by a place or by a numerical designation. They could be either land- or carrier-based, but in general they were largely land-based and would be given numerical designations. In most cases the basis of these formations were created from elements drawn from existing air groups. The first such unit was the 11th Air Group, established briefly in 1936. While regulations establishing land-based air groups were set forth in 1916 and 1919, it was not until the early 1930s that a series of regulations and instructions, set forth the specific internal organizations of air groups, their locations, functions, and their training, though these changed from time to time right up to the end of the Pacific War.

In November 1936, the IJN arranged for the organization of special combined air groups (tōkusetsu rengō kōkūtai), which were composed of two or more air groups. They were created in order to provide greater air strength under a single command. The 1st and 2nd combined air groups were formed in July 1937, at the beginning of the China War, and were the backbone of the navy's air operations in the first several years of that conflict. Standing combined air groups (jōsetsu rengō kōkutai) intended to be more permanent, were established in December 1938. Two of these were established before the Pacific War: the 11th was organized in December 1938, and the 12th which was formed in 1939. Until the very end of the 1930s most kōkutai were composed of a mix of aircraft types, with seaplanes predominating initially, but with carrier-type fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers increasing in numbers, along with land-based twin engined medium bombers. However, by 1941 the IJN's land-based air groups were almost always composed of one type of aircraft, the exception was the Chitose air group which was based in Micronesia and was composed of both medium bombers and fighters. On November 1, 1942, all land-based identified with base names were given numerical designations.

As the war in the Pacific progressed, this structure lacked flexibility and hampered front-line operations, consequently, in March 1944 the IJN's land-based air forces were restructured, and certain hikōtai were given independent numerical designations and an identity of their own outside the parent Kōkūtai.

Latest Restorations
Pozo Moro Monument
Protohistory and Colonisations Department
Iberian culture. 6th century BC
Necropolis of Pozo Moro, Chincilla de Monte-Aragón (Albacete)
Media: Sandstone
In the galleries dedicated to Iberian archaeology visitors can contemplate the funerary monument of Pozo Moro, restored for the museum's grand reopening. In the years while remodelling was underway, the monument was taken apart, studied, restored and reassembled in its new location. The conclusions of a team of experts convened for this purpose has led to a reinterpretation of the monument and changes to its final appearance.
aking the monument apart allowed us to measure and weigh each ashlar and assess its condition. Tool marks and signs of quarrying and construction activity were also documented. Each ashlar was labelled and packed up to be shipped to the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (IPCE) for restoration.
The following conservation problems were detected: biological attack, adhered and loose deposits (dust), soot stains, flaking, fissures, cracks and erosion. The restoration process involved mechanical and chemical cleaning, disinfection, adhesion, sealing, consolidation, etc. Existing reintegrations were evened out and restored to the original colour. Large gaps were filled with textured, polychromed blocks of expanded polystyrene. The scientific reinterpretation of the monument pointed to the possible existence of a second storey with lions, and several felines were therefore crafted from the same material.
This project was handled by two restoration companies. The monument was taken apart and reassembled by ARTELAN S.L. via the UTE MAN consortium and under the supervision of experts from the MAN and the SGME (Deputy Directorate-General of State Museums). The actual restoration work was performed by ARTYCO S.L., supervised and hired for this purpose by the IPCE. (The photographs shown here were taken by both companies)

Fine Antique Architectural Print
William Kent born in Bridlington, Yorkshire in 1658, was a British architect and a landscape architect. He would become an inspirational designer during a time of reason, romanticism, and revolution. Kent was a sign and coach painter before becoming interested in landscape art, and it was his employers who influenced him to peruse design and architecture. Lord Burlington gave him the task of editing "The Designs of Inigo Jones", which he published in 1770. He is most commonly remembered as the central architect of the revived Palladian style in England; as he rose through the royal architectural establishment, the Board of Works, Kent applied this style to several public buildings in London. Burlington's patronage secured him the commissions for many of these buildings, such as the Royal Mews at Charing Cross (1731-1733, demolished in 1830), the Treasury buildings in Whitehall (1733-1737), and the Horse Guards building in Whitehall, (designed shortly before his death, and built from 1750 – 1759). These neo-antique buildings were inspired as much by the architecture of Raphael and Giulio Romano as by Palladio. Kent died in 1748 and his featured works are not that of extravagant structures or masterful paintings, but that of a style of "natural" gardening that revolutionized the English design of the garden. Kent's success is attributed to his range of professions, of being an architect, theater set designer, and painter. Other influences can be found from the time he spent in Rome, as Italy was the center of almost all styles of design, painting, and architecture.

Alan Menken and "Beauty & the Beast"


The Horse and His Boy is one of the later books in the Chronicles of Narnia; it tells the story of Shasta, a fisherman's adopted son, who runs away from home with a talking horse, Bree. As the two make their way through the oppressive land of Calormene to Narnia, they meet the runaway princess Aravis and discover a conspiracy that may threaten the free lands to the north. The novel explores the themes of identity and Christianity.
A boy by the name of Shasta is found as a baby and raised by Arsheesh, a Calormene fisherman. As the story begins, Shasta overhears Arsheesh agreeing to sell him to a powerful Calormene feudal nobleman, Anradin. He is relieved to discover that Arsheesh is not his real father, since there was little love between them. While Shasta awaits his new master in the stable, Bree, the nobleman's stallion, astounds Shasta by speaking to him. He is a talking horse from Narnia who was captured by the Calormenes as a foal. He tells Shasta that Anradin will treat him cruelly, and Shasta resolves to escape. The horse suggests that they escape a life of servitude by riding north together to Narnia. They meet another pair of escaping travellers, Aravis, a young Calormene aristocrat, and her talking horse, Hwin. Aravis is fleeing to avoid a forced marriage with Ahoshta, the Tisroc's grand vizier.
The four must travel through Tashbaan, the bustling capital of Calormen. There they encounter a procession of visiting Narnian royalty, who mistake Shasta for Corin, a prince of Archenland, who was separated from their group earlier that day. Unsure what to do, Shasta goes with the Narnians and overhears their plans to escape from Calormen to prevent a forced marriage of Queen Susan with the Tisroc's son, Rabadash. Shasta escapes when the real Prince Corin returns.
Meanwhile, Aravis has been spotted by her friend Lasaraleen. She asks Lasaraleen not to betray her, and to help her escape from Tashbaan. Lasaraleen cannot understand why Aravis would want to abandon the life of a Calormene noblewoman or refuse marriage with Ahoshta, but she helps Aravis escape through the palace. On the way, they hide when the Tisroc, Rabadash, and Ahoshta approach. Aravis overhears the Tisroc and Rabadash discussing the Narnians' escape. Rabadash is still determined to have Queen Susan and wants to invade Narnia to seize her. The Tisroc gives Rabadash permission to invade Archenland and Narnia while High King Peter is preoccupied battling giants to the north.
Aravis rejoins Shasta and the horses outside Tashbaan, and tells them of the plot. The four set out across the desert, and a lion (whom they later discover to be Aslan) frightens them into fleeing swiftly enough to outrun Rabadash's army. Shasta arrives in Archenland in time to warn Archenland and Narnia of the approaching Calormenes. When Rabadash and his army arrive at the castle of King Lune in Archenland, they find their prey waiting for them, and a battle ensues. There is no clear outcome until an army from Narnia, led by Edmund and Lucy, reinforces the defenders. The Calormenes are defeated, and Rabadash is captured. Anradin is among those who fall in the battle.
Rabadash rebuffs King Lune's offer of conditional release, and is transformed by Aslan into a donkey. His true form will be restored if he stands before the altar of Tash at the Autumn Feast. However, he will become a donkey permanently if he ever strays thereafter more than ten miles from the Temple of Tash. For this reason, Rabadash pursues peaceful policies when he becomes Tisroc, as he dare not risk the ten mile limit by going to war.
The victorious King Lune recognizes Shasta as Cor, the long-lost identical twin of Prince Corin and, as barely the elder of the two, the heir to the throne. He was kidnapped as a baby to counter a prophecy that he would one day save Archenland from its greatest peril, but Shasta's timely warning has fulfilled the prophecy. Aravis and Shasta live in Archenland thereafter and eventually marry. Their son, Ram, becomes the most famous king of Archenland.


Based on a random sample survey of 501 employees in 9 Indian companies in both the private and public sectors, the paper tries answer two specific questions: how appropriate, relevant and useful is non-formal education to job performance? What kinds of national incentives are available to make non-formal education attractive to its potential consumers? The findings seem to suggest that training (whether probationary, in-company or external) is perceived as useful in terms of overall performance.

Gendering Border Studies
Edited by Henrice Altink with Jane Aaron and Chris Weedon
In Gendering Border Studies, York history lecturer Henrice Altink, with her co-editors Jane Aaron and Chris Weedon, shows how an awareness of gender transforms our understanding of borders. Henrice and her fellow editors invited fifteen established scholars from various disciplines to contribute essays to the book. Focusing on migration, border crossing narratives, drawing internal boundaries or teaching the contributors outline the ways in which gender has informed work in these areas before predicting future developments.
In recent years border studies has changed significantly due to the transformation of the world political map which have changed the nature and function of borders. Gender (defined as the knowledge about perceived distinctions between the sexes) is an important signifier of borders as constructed and contested lines of differences. In the interplay with other categories of difference like class, race, ethnicity, and religion, it plays a major role in giving meaning to different forms of borders. It is not surprising, then, that an increasing number of studies in the last years have aimed for a gendering of border studies.
The book explores and develops this new interdisciplinary field. The main questions it asks are: How do we define 'borders', 'frontiers' and 'boundaries' in different disciplinary approaches of gendered border studies? What were and are the main fields of gendered border studies? What might be important questions for future research? And how useful is an inter- or transdisciplinary approach for gendered border studies?
Henrice Altink is Senior Lecturer in Modern History. Henrice is author of Representations of Slave Women in Discourses on Slavery and Abolition as well as numerous articles and essays.

Prior to getting educated by dentists, parents are supposed to be the first role models in making their children understand the importance of this matter. But what if the parents don't see it the way some of us do?
Eventually, the kids will grow up without knowing the effects of not giving enough attention to proper oral hygiene until they develop diseases that can be attributed to neglect.
Complex? There is reason to conclude that brushing our teeth is a complex task because Internet surveys show that, despite the fact that toothbrushes and toothpastes have been invented in 1780, 6 out of 10 people still don't brush their teeth twice a day.
Looking at the figures, we can only assume that the six do not know the proper way of brushing their teeth, and therefore, brushing must be a complex process. Also, that's assuming that the 4 are correctly doing it twice a day.
What Happens If We Don't Brush our Teeth Properly?
Gingivitis. If our teeth are left unbrushed and the plaque stays on the gums and the teeth, gingivitis occurs. Gingivitis is a gum disease that develops when plaque bores itself beneath the gum line and separates the teeth from the gums.
Cavities. These are permanent damages in the form of tiny holes on the hard surface of the teeth, which are breached by the acids from sugary foods and liquids. These holes later become very painful.
Loss of teeth. Tooth loss is normal for babies, but for adults, tooth loss can only be due to an injury, tooth decay, or gum disease. The greatest loss in tooth loss is not the loss of teeth but the loss of grace.
Bad breath. Although bad breath can be caused by other health problems, its common cause is poor dental hygiene. The greatest impact of bad breath is the loss of social grace.
Gum Cancer. Mouth cancer is not necessarily caused by poor dental hygiene. Regular tooth brushing allows you to check the inside of your mouth twice a day, which can let you spot or observe if there are some sores in your gums that do not seem to go away.
These are just some of the problems we seek to prevent when we brush our teeth regularly correctly. When we brush our teeth properly, we do not only prevent these problems from occurring, but we also create a condition that can inspire us to flash that enigmatic smile and exude an enormous amount of conviction and enthusiasm.
But what really is the correct method or procedure of brushing our teeth?
Have conscious time. "Teeth should be brushed twice a day for at least two minutes." Most people think (or do they?) that having run the brush all over the surface of the teeth covers it all.
Use a suitable toothbrush. "Toothbrushes are not one-size-fits-all." Just be sure that your toothbrush can reach the innermost part of your mouth behind your molars. Define the degree of softness or hardness you want for the bristles.
Use fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps make teeth stronger and prevent decay.
Brush your teeth at 45-degree angle in a circular motion. Cover all sides of the teeth while in this motion: inside, outside, top.
Include the tongue. The tongue is a favourite home for odour-causing bacteria. Brushing the surface gently removes these bacteria and helps freshen your breath.
Use dental floss to remove food stuck between teeth. If these food particles are not removed, they may generate bacteria that can cause cavities.
Mouthwash is beneficial. As it removes the food particles after brushing, it can also help in keeping bacteria in check and refreshing the mouth.
Replace your toothbrush regularly. Toothbrushes should be replaced every three months, since it is more likely that the bristles after this time would have been worn out and ineffective in drawing out food particles. Besides, for that length of time, some bacteria might have been already hiding under the bristles.
Again, it is more of over simplicity than complexity. The procedure is so simple we tend to take the procedure for granted. In fact, it is as simple as getting your toothbrush, putting in the right amount of fluoride, getting it inside your mouth, running it in circular motion with enough time at every tooth, rinsing your mouth, and lastly, flossing your teeth.
Now, let us go back to number 1 and let's be conscious about how we brush our teeth. When we do this, we realise we don't need the smart toothbrush of the Internet of Things because we can't wait that long to make it happen.
In the morning when you wake up, the first person you see is yourself, and as we look at ourselves in the mirror, and slowly project that smile of confidence and conviction, aren't we glad we have taken the time to adopt the proper dental care for a joyful and healthy living?

The View 20 is Honor's latest "affordable flagship," with dual cameras and a hole-punch display. Combined with the bold colors and chevron pattern along the back, it's a gorgeous phone with a design that's worth protecting — that's why we've sought out the best cases that'll keep it safe.
The FlexiShield isn't a complicated case. It's a clear cover that adds a bit of grip and protection to the View 20, with all the necessary cutouts for the camera, ports, and fingerprint sensor. You get peace of mind without having to cover up that beautiful glass back.
Another case from Olixar, the Attache is a durable TPU case with leather-like stylings. Though it covers the View 20's chevron pattern, the leather texture adds grip to the phone, and the case is backed by a two-year warranty.
Just like the standard silicone case, the wallet case is made by Honor itself, with the only major difference being the added card slot for your ID or credit card. Interestingly, the volume and power buttons are left uncovered this time, though otherwise it's basically the same case.
Armor-X's case allows you to mount your phone to anything from your car to your bike, a tripod, or even a boat using a magnetic mount that doubles as a kickstand. You can also attach a hand strap or carabiner, making this a unique case for someone who's constantly on the go.
We've featured Anccer cases a number of times here on AC, so we're thrilled to see the company's supporting the Honor View 20. Anccer's cases stick out for a couple reasons — They're incredibly thin and are available in a multitude of striking colors. You'll also find accurate cutouts and get a no hassle warranty to give you some peace of mind.
There aren't many cases available for the View 20 just yet, but the ones in this list should serve you just fine. If it were my money, I'd buy the Honor wallet case so I could keep a card or two with my phone at all times, but the Olixar FlexiShield is a more cost-effective option.


An experimental vaccine against the chronic liver disease hepatitis C has shown promising results in its first clinical trial in humans. Authors emphasized that, there is currently no vaccine for hepatitis C virus (HCV), the outside shell of the hepatitis C virus is very variable thus there is still a long way to go before clinical use of effective vaccine. (Source: Catharine Paddock PhD. (2012, January 6). "Hep C Vaccine Shows Promise In First Trial." Medical News Today. Retrieved from http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/239982.php.).
I hope to develop a vaccine against the Hepatit C virus as soon as possible.
This statement confused me a bit.
I am also holding some other brands at home for HOUSEKEEPING ONLY, but I believe they are using similar chemical ingredients.
No, you don't use the disinfecting wipes on the skin.

Man, 32, caught posing as 81-year-old to catch flight from India to New York
Meaghan Wray GlobalNews.ca
Jayesh Patel, 32, attempted to pose as an 81-year-old man to board an overnight flight to New York.
Central Industrial Security Force
He was the master of disguise until he wasn't.
Jayesh Patel, 32, reportedly wanted to board an overnight flight from New Delhi to New York, so he posed as an 81-year-old to pass through security at Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Around 10:45 p.m. on Sept. 8, a man — in a wheelchair and decked out in a white outfit with dyed grey hair and beard — approached security, who asked him to stand for a search, CNN reports.

"He was posed as if he was very old and incapacitated," a senior official with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Shrikant Kishore told the publication, adding that he was unwilling to stand.
"Our screener asks if he would stand with support," Kishore continued. "He reluctantly stood up."
The officer noticed that his hair roots were black. He also was having trouble maintaining eye contact.
When Jayesh Patel was asked to stand up, the screener realized he was likely not who he said he was.
He was carrying the passport of an 81-year-old man from Delhi named Amrick Singh, born in 1938.
"He was definitely not 80 years old," Kishore said. "His skin was of a younger person."
CNN reports that the man eventually told security his name. While it isn't known what has happened to Patel since the incident, multiple news sources confirm that he was detained after presenting his fake passport.
Kishore also told CNN he didn't know the reason for the strange impersonation.
Just a few days prior, two people were apprehended by the CISF at the Delhi airport for reportedly trying to use fake tickets to enter a terminal area, New India Express reports.

One man, Raj Dhonota, was found just as he was leaving Indira Gandhi International Airport's third terminal and was carrying a U.K. passport.
According to the local publication, Dhonota used a cancelled ticket to enter the terminal to say goodbye to his wife and son.
Later that day, Ubaid Lal was apprehended for the same offence.
The publication reported at the time that the two were booked for criminal trespass.

Sometimes people will ask about a loved one who has died; they want to know if that person is in heaven. I don't say anything about one who has passed on, other then they are in the hands of God who who judge them according to His word (Revelation 20:12; Acts 17:30-31). The Bible teaches those who obey the word of God will be saved (Matthew 7:21), and those who don't obey the word of God will be lost (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).
Even at funerals some preachers will get up and pronounce that the person in the coffin "is walking the streets of heaven with Jesus." Now they don't know that for sure, all they are doing is talking a good game trying to make the grieving family feel better. It certainly is our hope that the departed is safe in the arms of Jesus, but we here on earth don't know that, and we need to keep our mouths shut when it comes up and leave that up to the Lord (Matt. 25:34,41).
We can talk about the good things we remember about the person, comfort, and aid the living and also warn the living by the teaching of the gospel, but leave it at that (Hebrews 4:9-13).

Dramatic Underscoring: The Graduate
By vinylmeplease
Dramatic Underscoring is our regular column by Marcella Hemmeter reviewing soundtrack albums from movies current and forgotten. This edition covers 1968's The Graduate.
Did you know The Graduate soundtrack was the number 1 album for more weeks in 1968 than any other album? Or that Simon & Garfunkel spent more weeks at the top of the charts in 1968 than any other artist, thanks to this soundtrack and their album Bookends. In a year that was bookended by sales of Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album the summer of 1968 belongs to Simon & Garfunkel, who were propelled to stardom on the strength of the movie and their perfect pop song, "Mrs. Robinson." On a side note: the full version of "Mrs. Robinson" isn't on the soundtrack, only the brief versions heard in the film are.
You may be wondering, why bother? Isn't it overrated? It's easy to dismiss things that are classics; stuff that's become so much a part of our culture we don't think twice about it. My original pressing wasn't purchased with the intention of being played. Someone had given me one of those record frames for my apartment and I didn't have a record that I was willing to stick behind glass so I went to my local record shop. The familiar cover grabbed me instantly. I liked the movie, thought it would look great on my wall, and so it stayed for years until one day I realized I wanted to play it.
The juxtaposition between the folk/pop musings of Simon & Garfunkel and the contemporary score by David Grusin is what stands out the most; individual introspection versus societal conformity in song form. Grusin's score being typical of films of the time brings to mind cocktail parties and zany farces, representing the adult world that Ben isn't so sure about. "Sunporch Cha-Cha-Cha," for example, plays early in the movie after Ben takes Mrs. Robinson to her house and she's fixing him a drink. In escalating personal language, we see that Mrs. Robinson is coming onto him and the music makes light of the scene, adding a comedic tone to what would likely be a shocking situation for any young adult. Simon & Garfunkel, whose contributions to the soundtrack were mostly previously released (common now but not so much back then), speaks to Ben's inner world. "The Sound of Silence" starts the soundtrack, which shows Ben moving along on the airport walkway in the film's opening, thinking about the future. It also plays after Ben begins the affair, floating in the hotel pool, in the room with Mrs. Robinson, and back at his parents' shutting the door to them as he sits alone, no dialogue whatsoever. "April Come She Will" is such a beautiful song, heard when Ben is lying in bed at the hotel while Mrs. Robinson is fluttering about getting dressed, cutting to Ben back at home sitting around and jumping in the pool, and back to the hotel again. Not so shocking now but the gentleness of that song paints a sharp contrast against the sordid affair Ben has embarked upon. What most people will think of is Ben racing to find Elaine, car running out of gas while the second version of "Mrs. Robinson" plays. The song gives an increased tension to his situation and the audience is on pins and needles wondering if he'll pull it off. The movie and soundtrack closes with "The Sound of Silence," as heard in the beginning, this time playing as Ben and Elaine are on the bus, and again Ben looks serious and unsure of the path ahead bringing us full circle. There's a great mix of tracks here with the score lightening the mood and the songs taking you deep into your soul.
It's a fun, contemplative soundtrack and when it enters my rotation I probably listen to it several times a day for days at a time, wishing it was longer. Next time you're at your local record shop, go ahead and pick up that old copy of The Graduate soundtrack you keep passing in the bins. Take it home, fix yourself a classic '60s cocktail and give it a spin. Think of one word while you do… plastics.
