Yosef Tunkel (1881 – August 9, 1949) was a Jewish–Belarusian–American writer of poetry and humorous prose in Yiddish commonly known by the pen name Der Tunkeler or 'The dark one' in Yiddish.

Biography
Born into the family of a poor teacher in Babruysk (in Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire), Tunkel was a sickly child whose drawing ability prompted charitable members of the community to send him to art school in Vilno. He finished his studies in 1899 and, too short sighted to be a painter, turned to writing. His poetry was first published in Der yud (Warsaw) in 1901 and from then on his poems, satires, drama and children's stories appeared in Yiddish publications throughout Europe and North America.

Between 1906 and 1910 he travelled to the United States where he started the humorous journal Der kibitser (continued for two decades under the title Der Groyser Kundes). Moving to Warsaw in 1911 he wrote for Der moment, editing its humour pages, Der krumer spiegel, or The Crooked Mirror. He spent World War I in Ukraine, mainly in Kiev and Odessa. In the early twenties, he adapted several works of German poet Wilhelm Busch.

When the Warsaw cabaret Azazel opened in 1925, Der Tunkeler's writings were part of the repertoire; his works were staged in Łódź and the Warsaw cabaret theater Sambatyon (which opened in 1927) as well.

In 1931 he visited what was then the British Mandate of Palestine. The outbreak of World War II found him in Belgium from which he escaped into France only to be arrested by the Vichy authorities. Escaping in 1941 he managed to find his way to the US once more, where he wrote for the major New York Yiddish daily The Jewish Daily Forward despite failing health. He died there in 1949.

Throughout his life, numerous collections of his work were published in Warsaw, Kiev and New York. He is remembered as one of the Yiddish language's outstanding humorists to this day.

Home News Brief International Summit Highlights Contradictions in Drug Policy Debate
International Summit Highlights Contradictions in Drug Policy Debate
Michael Lohmuller
President Santos addresses the conference in Cartagena
An international drug control summit in Colombia has again placed the contradictions in rapidly changing thinking on drug policy at center stage, as calls for drug users and producers not to be criminalized clashed with plans to increase efforts to tackle drug cultivation.
The XXXII International Conference on Drug Control in Cartagena, Colombia began with a strong denouncement of the failings of current drug policies by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. In his speech, Santos said the objective of a drug-free world is not realistic, and called for "a new approach" to confront drug trafficking. He said this must result from a "rigorous discussion based on evidence and not biases," and should be independent of "ideological and political aspirations."
Santos added farmers and drug addicts should not be treated the same as drug traffickers and organized crime, and questioned how he could imprison someone for growing marijuana when it is legal in several countries and US states.
However, his attempt to break from the current paradigm on combating drugs was only partially reflected in the 103 bilateral and multilateral agreements struck by the delegates, who hailed from over 100 countries. According to Notimex, while some proposals called for an emphasis on prevention and treating addiction and respect for human rights, others contained plans to boost the use of technology and intelligence to penetrate drug cultivation zones and improve interdiction efforts.
Addressing the conference on June 3, head of US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) Gen. John Kelly acknowledged that the United States, with its "insatiable demand for drugs," is a key part of the problem.
The rhetoric emerging from the conference denouncing the failures of the war on drugs and calling for a more humanistic approach to the issue reflect the changing parameters on the debate on drug control in the Americas.
For several years now, there have been growing calls for a move away from the harsh, prohibitionist drug policies enshrined in the UN drug conventions (and traditionally enforced by the United States). Instead, Latin American governments and human rights groups have lobbied for a preventative health-based approach to drug policy.
SEE ALSO: Coverage of Drug Policy
However, some of the proposals reported demonstrate the continuing contradictions in thinking as the region edges towards a new paradigm. The most striking of these comes from the contrast between the comments on crop cultivation by President Santos — who recently banned the aerial spraying of coca crops in Colombia with the herbicide glyphosate — and the plans to boost efforts to tackle drug production at the source; a business as usual measure that persists with a policy that has proved enormously costly and has yielded debatable results.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jacob Stallings has 19 hits in parts of three major league seasons Buster Posey Jersey , and the rookie third-string catcher has made a some of them count.Stallings hit a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning to rally the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 7-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.It was Stallings' second career game-ending hit. The catcher also had one on Sept. 23, 2016, against Washington as a pinch hitter.After Jordan Luplow grounded into a double play, Kevin Kramer walked and moved to second on Kevin Newman's single. Stallings then singled into left field off Ben Lively (0-3) for his third hit of the game, scoring Kramer.Stallings was not in the original lineup. He was told 2½ hours before the game he would be subbing for ailing Francisco Cervelli."It was pretty similar to my other one, same spot and same kind of pitch http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-panik-jersey ," Stallings said. "It was good to help the team on short notice. It was fun to come through for the guys."Stallings has spent the last three years shuttling between Pittsburgh and Triple-A Indianapolis while stuck on the organizational depth chart behind Cervelli and Elias Diaz."The biggest thing for me is staying ready," said Stallings, whose father, Kevin, was the University of Pittsburgh's basketball coach for two seasons before being fired in March. "On a day like today, when I'm not ready to play Willie McCovey Jersey , I'm still ready. You get paranoid because you never know what might happen."Stallings has made a good impression on Pirates manager Clint Hurdle."He puts his foot down early and hits the ball hard where it's pitched. Old-school hitting," Hurdle said. "He's done a very professional job on everything he's done."The Pirates scored twice with two outs in the eighth inning to tie the game at 6-all. The first run scored when first baseman Ryan O'Hearn failed to handle a throw from third baseman Hunter Dozier on a grounder by Pablo Reyes. Starling Marte followed with an RBI triple.Newman had three of Pittsburgh's 16 hits as the rookie shortstop extended his hitting streak to six games and helped the Pirates win for the ninth time in 12 games.Edgar Santana (3-3) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.O'Hearn led off the top of the eighth with his 11th home run in 36 games since making his debut July 31 and gave the Royals a two-run lead.Josh Bell drew Pittsburgh to 5-4 in the seventh with a run-scoring single.O'Hearn's RBI double capped a four-run fifth inning and put the Royals on top 5-3 following consecutive run-scoring singles by Adalberto Mondesi, Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez.Gordon doubled in the game's first run in top of the third inning and Corey Dickerson countered with an RBI single in the bottom half. Adam Frazier's two-run single in the fourth gave the Pirates a short-lived 3-1 lead.Kansas City's Brad Keller allowed four runs and 10 hits in six-plus innings. Pittsburgh's Joe Musgrove also pitched six innings, giving up five runs and eight hits.Keller got his first major league hit when he singled off Musgrove to lead off the fifth inning. It came in Keller's second career at-bat after he struck out in the second.Keller was in line for his team-high ninth win until the Royals squandered the lead. He was selected from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Rule 5 Draft in December after having never pitched above Class A."He got us into the seventh and did a great job of doing that," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "He threw the ball really, really well. He put us in position to win."O'Hearn's homer to right field off Steven Brault was the first allowed by the left-hander in 117 career plate appearances against left-handed batters.TRAINER'S ROOMPirates: 2B Frazier (right knee discomfort) left for a pinch-runner immediately after hitting his double. . Cervelli (flu-like symptoms) was on deck ready to pinch-hit when Stallings delivered the game-winning hit. . Diaz (strained right hamstring) has been cleared to play after sitting out since Aug. 31. . Pitching coach Ray Searage underwent cervical surgery and assistant pitching coach Justin Meccage is taking his place.AND 31 YEARS LATER .Royals 2B Whit Merrifield played his first game in Pittsburgh. Merrifield's father http://www.giantsfanproshop.com/authentic-mel-ott-jersey , Bill, was called up by the Pirates for one day late in the 1987 season then sent to instructional league to make the conversion from third baseman to first baseman.Bill Merrifield did not appear in a game and never returned to the major leagues.REMEMBERING MACA moment of silence was held for rapper/singer Mac Miller, who died last week. Miller was a Pittsburgh native and Pirates' fan.UP NEXTRoyals: LHP Eric Skoglund (1-5, 6.19) makes his third appearance and second start Tuesday night since being sidelined from May 26-Sept. 6 with a sprained ligament in his left elbow.Pirates: RHP Jameson Taillon (13-9, 3.37) has allowed three earned runs or less in 19 straight starts. CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cleveland Indians lost one of their best pitchers Tuesday when they placed right-hander Trevor Bauer on the 10-day disabled list with a small stress fracture in his right leg.Cleveland is in complete control in the AL Central, leading second-place Minnesota by 12 1/2 games coming into the day. But any lingering issue with Bauer could hurt its chances of advancing in the playoffs.Bauer was struck by Jose Abreu's liner in the seventh inning of Saturday night's 3-1 win at the Chicago White Sox. He returned to Cleveland after experiencing soreness and swelling Hunter Pence Jersey , and an MRI revealed the injury.Bauer is one of the top candidates for the AL Cy Young Award. The 27-year-old right-hander is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA in 25 starts. This is his first career DL stint."Knowing Trev, he'll keep his arm in shape and he'll be raring to go whenever he's ready," Indians manager Terry Francona said before their game against Cincinnati. "There's never a good time. But he'll keep his arm good and strong."Left-hander Tyler Olson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Bauer's roster spot. Right-hander Adam Plutko will make his seventh start of the season in place of Bauer on Saturday.Plutko is 4-2 with a 4.75 ERA in nine appearances.Francona said right-hander Josh Tomlin is another candidate to be inserted into the rotation, but would need to be stretched out. Tomlin could return this week from a hamstring strain.Francona said he texted with Bauer on Tuesday afternoon."He said he was sorry," Francona said, laughing. "You feel for him. He has put himself in such a good place."Bauer leads the AL with 166 innings pitched while ranking second with 214 strikeouts and third in ERA.

Bodily Desire – Desired Bodies: Gender and the Body in Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Christian Schad, and Egon Schiele
« Forgery, Faith, Fact, and Fiction
Bodily Desire – Desired Bodies: Gender and the Body in Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Christian Schad, and Egon Schiele »
Monday Seminar
Esther K. Bauer
Foreign Languages, German, UW-Stevens Point
The seminar proposes that early-twentieth-century authors Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka and artists Christian Schad and Egon Schiele created characters intended to upset bourgeois notions of gender, desire, and sexuality. At a time of far-reaching changes in male and female social roles and sexual politics, these authors and artists presented the body as the site of a reevaluation of gender roles and of the organization of desire, subverting and eventually transcending traditional bourgeois structures. As Kafka and Schiele focus on the physical dimension of relationships, they make the human body the site of struggles for dominance. In their works, the demise of a clear-cut gender matrix leads to instability in the traditional social hierarchies that organize the access to bodies, revealing gender merely as a construct regulating the distribution of power within society. As Mann and Schad work toward collapsing the traditional notions of masculinity and femininity and experiment with forms of corporeal desire that are no longer organized along gendered structures, they present the body as the place where the gender category can be overcome.
Esther Bauer is a UW Systems Fellow at the Institute for Research in the Humanities. She received her Ph.D. in German Literature from Yale University. She is currently on leave from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where she is an Assistant Professor of German. At the Institute, she is working on a book manuscript entitled "Bodily Desire – Desired Bodies: Gender and Desire in Early Twentieth-Century Novels and Paintings." Her area of specialization is German literature and culture since the mid-nineteenth century, and her research focuses on questions of subjectivity, gender, desire, and visualizations of bodies. She has published and presented on writers Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Vicki Baum, and Judith Hermann, and on painters Egon Schiele and Christian Schad.

Q: How do I set an associated record in a Spring controller, if the post request contains a foreign ID? I'm building a CRUD app in Spring, and so far I have 2 entities: Employee, and Department. I have a REST controller, and I can't seem to figure out how to set the department (or even just get the departmentId from the JSON request that was sent to the REST controller). Here's my controller method:
    @PostMapping
    Employee createEmployee(@Valid @RequestBody Employee newEmployee, BindingResult bindingResult) {
        // I thought if departmentId was in the request, it would automatically set the department
        // but it doesn't. Setting a breakpoint and inspecting `newEmployee` shows that department is null.
        // What's the standard way of setting the associated record, if the POST request contains the foreign ID?
        return employeeRepository.save(newEmployee);
    }

Department:
@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
public class Department {
    @Id @GeneratedValue private Long id;

18 November 2015. The US-Ireland Alliance, will host the 11th annual Oscar Wilde Awards on February 25, 2016, at J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company in Santa Monica. The organization, which usually honors three individuals, has announced its first honoree, award-winning writer, producer, actor and television host James Corden.
Winner of a Tony Award and a BAFTA Corden can currently be seen hosting THE LATE LATE SHOW on CBS. Corden stands out in the late night show lineup, distinguishing himself by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. During the short time since Corden took the helm, THE LATE LATE SHOW has generated numerous buzzworthy viral videos - resulting in millions of online views, reached series highs in viewers and earned a Critics Choice Awards nomination.
Corden also continues to host the BAFTA Award winning UK sports-themed comedy game show "A League of Their Own" on Sky 1 and hosted the Brit Awards, the biggest event in the British music industry, from 2010 to 2014.
On television, Corden stars in, produces, and writes the BAFTA nominated comedy thriller "The Wrong Mans," which is available on Hulu and airs on the BBC. In 2013, Corden was awarded the Royal Television Society Award for Comedy Writer of the Year for his work on the show. Previously, Corden starred as Smithy in the critically acclaimed BBC comedy series "Gavin and Stacey" which he also co-created and co-wrote, and which earned him a BAFTA Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance in 2008 and the British Comedy Award for Best Male Comedy Performer in 2007. Corden also starred in the British television series "Fat Friends" from 2000 to 2005, which earned him a nomination for the 2000 Royal Television Society Award for Network Newcomer On Screen.
Proving his versatility, Corden has also been acclaimed on the big screen for roles in recent hits including INTO THE WOODS, BEGIN AGAIN, THE THREE MUSKETEERS, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND ALIENATE PEOPLE, and THE HISTORY BOYS.
On stage, Corden attracted international attention as the lead in the hit comedic play One Man, Two Guvnors, which he first performed in The National Theatre and the West End in London, and then on Broadway. His performance on Broadway garnered him the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play.
The annual Oscar Wilde Awards event has long been a favorite because of its intimate, casual, and informal vibe and for the introduction of many young contemporary Irish musicians and singers to a new audience. Award presenters (such as Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts) are often as notable as the honorees, and who have included Jim Sheridan, Neil Jordan, Fiona Shaw, Saoirse Ronan, Sarah Bolger, Van Morrison, Conan O'Brien, and Steven Colbert. Michelle Williams, J.J. Abrams, Jim Brooks and Paul Rudd have all been made 'honorary' Irish. Sponsors of the 2016 Oscar Wilde event include Accenture and Resurgent Film Group.

Politics from the ecumenical wg
adminon January 20, 2022 January 5, 2022 Leave a Comment on Politics from the ecumenical wg
The Catholic and Protestant churches each have offices in Dusseldorf that maintain contacts with politicians in the state capital. There has already been cooperation – now the distances will be even shorter.
"Welcome to our ecumenical WG," says Thomas Weckelmann. "Almost-WG," he adds. A few moving boxes are still piled up behind him. A shelf did not arrive in time. That's why he can't yet put all the books away in his new office in Dusseldorf's Hubertusstrasse.
The view goes directly to the state chancellery. The state parliament is around the corner. It smells of fresh paint. And the work continues. Church councilor Thomas Weckelmann represents the three Protestant churches in North Rhine-Westphalia to the state government, the state parliament and the authorities in Dusseldorf. One floor up sits his Catholic colleague, Father Antonius Hamers.
He represents the five dioceses in the state. The two are the first church representatives in the 16 state capitals to operate from a common house. The building belongs to Caritas. On the lower floors, it operates counseling centers.
Hamers moved his offices here two years ago. This year, Weckelmann sought more suitable premises for his staff. "He asked me if his offices could also be accommodated here," says Hamers. Caritas was in the process of moving its counseling service for the homeless from near Parliament toward the train station. "Then the way was clear," explains the priest. There is much to do for church representatives.
Both churches are big entrepreneurs of charity
Refugee policy, for example, is an ongoing concern for both of them. No one provides as many volunteers in integration work as the two churches. And the full-time employees of the parishes, Caritas and Diakonie are at the forefront of caring for the refugees.
Both churches are big charity entrepreneurs. Together, Hamers and Weckelmann fight with their churches and dioceses for the protection of Sundays and holidays. Last but not least, the clergy see themselves as pastors for the parliamentarians – with church services and with an open ear for every conversation politicians ask for.
Working in the same building shortens the distances to each other. "We have already worked closely together," says Hamers. "Now cooperation has become even easier." And the joint address is a strong signal to politicians, Weckelmann adds.
Both churches agree on most ies
The two churches agree on most ies. And perform together, right down to the ecumenical devotions for the parliamentarians. "Even if we take different positions on individual ies, we act in concert," says Weckelmann. Among the differences, for example, is that the Protestant Church affirms marriage for same-sex partners. The Catholic has reservations about this.
There are also differences in approach. "On refugee ies, the Protestant side is sometimes more vehement," Hamers notes.
"We, the Catholic office, are exercising greater restraint."Refugees are very close to the heart of the Protestant church, says Weckelmann. And Rhenish President Manfred Rekowski is the chairman of the Chamber for Migration and Integration of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) and thus the Protestant bishop for refugees.
Ecumenism works in Dusseldorf
Hamers also comes to talk about different tasks. In addition to political representation, the Catholic office also coordinates cooperation among the five dioceses. The vicars general meet at Hamers every two to three months. He prepares their meetings. They are also his contacts in the day-to-day work. The five bishops meet two or three times a year in Hubertusstrasse to coordinate their work.
Visitors from politics and administration now find it easier to talk to both representatives. "We were delighted that the three regional churches made the move possible," says Hamers.
"It is not a matter of course that the Protestant church moves into a house of Caritas."At any rate, ecumenism works in the representation in the state capital.
Car test: how the audi q4 e-tron drives – with video
the audi Q4 e-tron in all its glory.
What's happening at audi. Electromobility has been a priority for the ingolstadt company for some time now, but the Q4 e-tron is the first implementation that fits into the fleets.
Soft lines, fewer edges, more organic shapes. What others are already practicing is now also catching on with ingolstadt's designers. Nice. For now, audi design is evolving after years of innovation drought. Variety is the order of the day without leaving the traditional style paths. Two body styles.
Like the Q3, Q4 and e-tron, the electrically powered Q4 is available in two body styles. Q4 SUV and Q4 sportback are what audi calls them. The sleeker one costs around 1 euro, adjusted for equipment.000 euros more and slips through the wind for it with a CW value of 0.26. With the SUV it is a respectable 0.28. The smooth underbody "special exterior mirrors and the closed front are just as much a part of this as the roller blind behind the four rings, which opens or closes depending on the air demand.
The e-engines are also cooled. In the case of the top model (50 quattro), two power packages are used. An asynchronous engine at the front weighing around 60 kilograms, and a 90-kilogram synchronous motor at the rear. In between are the batteries, which in the case of the top model weigh 500 kilograms. They donate 76.6 kilowatt hours of energy, which should be enough for just under 500 kilometers (inner-city) according to WLT calculations. This battery is also installed in the e-tron 40 with rear-wheel drive, which thus cracks the 500 mark. The entry-level model is the e-tron 35, which gets by on 51.5 kWh.
Watch out: 60.000-euro limit
The two rear-wheel drive comes in the pleasure of the 9.000-euro subsidy, combined from the manufacturer's share and government subsidies. With the 50, the 1.500 euro. With him, care must also be taken not to exceed the mark of 60.000 euros gross. Because then, instead of the attractive 0.25 percent tax, 0.5 percent is due. Still attractive, but how often are all-wheel drive and 299 hp needed?? The driving performance is delightful but pure waste. Because e-car drivers usually maintain a relaxed driving style. And even the 204-hp version of the rear-wheel-drive Q4 40 is fun to drive and is quickly.
Car test audi Q4 e-tron
Propulsion ends at 160 km/h, the quattro can do 20 more. But the sweet spot is 130 km/h of the big e-cars. And the 170-horsepower basic version is relaxed. However, the newcomer only charges at a maximum of 7.2 kW at the wallbox. This is not state of the art. And customers can't even get an 11-kW charging option, which is mandatory on the 40 and 50, for a surcharge of. To be honest, not much needs to be added to the basic equipment in the Q4 40, but there are a few things that make it a "coherent" car E-car belongs.
We recommend the audi sound package for 244 euros (net) or even the sonos system for 588 euros. It also tells a good story: audi is latin and means "listen, or just "listen, what audi used to be called. Sonos comes from "sonor and means "sound – in your own language. So pot and lid are united. The acoustic glazing directs the sound inside and the noise outside in the interplay for a small entrance fee to the concert.
To perfect the orchestra, the panoramic sunroof would be an option. It brightens up the interior and lets birdsong in if necessary. Steering wheel heating for 1.815 euros heated seats and steering wheel are a must. The first one always costs 286 euros. The warm hands are actually available for 151 euros. But this detail requires the "assistance package plus" to be ordered (rearview camera, ACC and front parking beeper), the paddle shifters and the climate package, which together break 1.815 euros. With the smartphone package, two cell phones can be operated simultaneously.
One is stuck in the perhaps most perfect inductive charging position. Wireless windshield heating is a solution for the cold season and does not produce any reflexes at night due to oncoming vehicle headlights. Another tip: the heat pump. This helps maintain range in cold conditions, but costs 832 euros. Let's move on to the chassis, the Q4's cream of the crop. The adaptive suspension (1.160 euros) is probably one of the most balanced in the compact and mid-range segment. We don't know how the standard chassis will drive.
Here helps the self-test, which perhaps saves cash in a double sense. Because as just outlined, the Q4 quickly arrives and over the 60.000 mark and you might get annoyed every month when you look at your pay slip. Then even the great space offered by the Q4 is of little consolation. There is plenty of space. Even the sport seats, which are available at extra cost, are wide, which is less annoying than the fixed headrests.
Because these constantly greet pigtail wearers and upright sitters at the back of the head. The dashboard also protrudes boldly and imposingly; it is anything but graceful, but the button selection there for quick operation is convincing. The choice of materials is not quite audi-like. plastic looks exactly like this and the piano lacquer already has fine scratches on the test cars. In addition, the high-gloss vehicle key looks like 2.500 kilometers of heavy use. Nevertheless, the workmanship and above all the electrical workmanship are right.
Cardinal caffarra died
Cardinal Carlo Caffarra died © Paul Haring (KNA)
The Italian city of Bologna and the Vatican mourn the death of Cardinal Carlo Caffarra. The former archbishop of Bologna died Wednesday at the age of 79. The funeral Mass is to be held Saturday at Bologna Cathedral.
The Pontifical Academy for Life, of which Caffarra was an honorary member, paid tribute to the cardinal in the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano for his "passionate search for truth and his service to human life and the spread of the Gospel". Bologna's mayor Virginio Merola told the Italian daily "La Repubblica": "Bologna has had a great archbishop in Caffarra, we all remember him with attachment and gratitude."
Twelve years as archbishop of Bologna
According to the newspaper, Caffarra died Wednesday morning. He served as archbishop of Bologna for twelve years and had been ill for some time. The cardinal had recently attracted attention as a critic of the pope's letter "Amoris laetitia". Since Caffarra's death, the College of Cardinals still has 221 members. Of those, 120 are younger than 80 and thus would be eligible to vote in a papal election.
Bologna Mayor Merola acknowledged occasional disagreements with the cardinal on ies such as same-sex partnerships, which Caffarra had deemed "immoral". However, there has always been "deep respect for the different roles," it said. Other regional politicians praised the cardinal as an "attentive and clear-sighted intellectual" and a "shepherd who loved his flock". Accusations by media accusing the cardinal of "alleged antagonism to the pope" were nothing compared to his "testimony of unity with the See of Peter".
Funeral Mass in the Cathedral of Bologna
The Archdiocese of Bologna announced the funeral Mass presided by Archbishop Matteo Maria Zuppi for Saturday in Bologna Cathedral. The cardinal's body is to be laid out at the archdiocesan ordinariate beginning Thursday afternoon.
The pope elected on 1. Born June 1938 in the northern Italian province of Parma, Caffarra was considered an expert on theological ies related to marriage and the family; his doctoral dissertation in canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University dealt with Catholic doctrine on marriage. In 1981, Pope John Paul II commissioned him. (1978-2005) to found the pontifical institute "John Paul II".", which deals with ies related to marriage and the family. Caffarra took a critical view of Pope Francis' 2016 letter "Amoris laetitia" on the subject – alongside the recently deceased Cardinal Joachim Meisner and Cardinals Raymond Leo Burke and Walter Brandmuller, he signed five questions ("dubia") about it to the pope.
Caffarra was ordained a priest in 1961; Pope John Paul II. Appointed him archbishop of Ferrara-Comacchio in 1995. Benedict XVI. (2005-2013) appointed Caffarra a cardinal in 2006.

Nahuatl, known as "Mexicano" by many of its speakers, is the most widely spoken indigenous language in Mexico. It was the lingua franca of the Aztec empire and is currently one of Mexico's official languages. It belongs to the Uto-Aztecan language family, which spread from the United States Southwest to Central America. In fact, it is theorized that Nicaragua's etymology comes from the Nahuatl words "Nican ca Anahuac," which roughly translates to "here is Anahauc" denoting the geographical limits of the Aztec empire. There are currently several regional varieties of Nahuatl, including one still spoken in El Salvador. All in all, today the language boasts over 1.5 million native speakers.
Nahuatl is an agglutinative language and is rich in morphology. Its classical form was highly metaphorical and poetic in style. Some of the literary treasures studied in depth by scholars are the poems of Nezahualcoyotl ("coyote in fast") and the Huehuetlahtolli (literally "the ancient word"), which is an ancient collection of sayings, exhortations, and the traditional wisdom of the culture which helped preserve and pass down family values and ideals to generations—until the Spanish invasion.
The good news is that despite the imposition of Spanish and trends showing a slight decline in the number of Nahuatl monolinguals, there has recently been a growing interest in Nahuatl. Aided by a movement of cultural revival, specifically in many areas of the United States, Nahuatl's resilience is in part due to the cultural consciousness and commitment of the new generation of Mexicans.

The Renaissance scientist Philip von Hohenheim wrote that "All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."
Nothing is without poison.
It's enough to make you never leave your bed. Unless, of course, the mattress you're lying on is toxic.
An alchemist and peripatetic physician of a mystical bent, one of von Hohenheim's middle names was Bombastus. If many of his contemporaries thought he was full of hot air, it didn't help that he called himself Paracelsus, "greater than Celsus," author of the Roman encyclopedia De Medicina.
The dose at which something becomes poisonous varies by substance. Poisons are ranked based on their LD50—the amount per gram or kilogram of body weight that it takes to kill half of the exposed rats or mice in a given study.
The LD50 for ricin, the poison mailed to President Obama in 2013, depends on whether you're eating it, inhaling it, or receiving it by injection. You have to eat one to twenty milligrams per kilo of bodyweight to die, but one-thousandth of that dose will kill you if inhaled or injected.
Paracelsus is called the father of toxicology, a discipline governed by this five-word distillation of his thinking: the dose makes the poison.
The LD50 for aspirin is two hundred milligrams per kilo of rat. There is no known LD50 for humans, but five hundred milligrams or one extra-strength aspirin per kilo is considered a lethal dose. If I wanted to end it all, I'd have to take more than half a bottle. What about the tap water I swallow the aspirin with? Its LD50 would depend on whether I live in Flint, Michigan or Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
From Paracelsus' maxim, two corollaries emerged: as the dose increases, so does the substance's potential for harm, and, for every toxin there is a threshold below which exposure is safe. For regulators charged with protecting the public, the "safe threshold" is a principle of faith.
I once listened to a young woman on the radio talk about her five-year relationship with an abusive boyfriend. She would leave him, he would apologize and commit to winning back her trust, she would return, and for weeks or even months, he would be the person she fell in love with.
Because of Paracelsus, the heart of a toxicologist beats like this— her EKG curving in a reverse ski slope:
Ricin is made from castor beans. If you chew seven or eight of them you'll die, but oil made
from the crushed beans is a laxative "generally recognized as safe and effective" by the Food and Drug Administration. Castor oil, with its sonic hints of castigation, has been used for centuries to purge dissent. Colonial and fascist rulers learned the technique in childhood when their parents meted out spoonfuls for misbehavior—a viscous spanking.
Researchers are still trying to parse spanking's effects on children. While its harms are known—it's associated with aggression, low self-esteem, impaired cognitive ability and other negative outcomes—its benefits remain unproven. Parents who swear by it ("my parents spanked me and I turned out okay") view corporal punishment like a drug: one small whack on the butt relieves anger and discourages—they believe—future outbreaks of misbehavior. But for a drug to be approved, it must be shown to be both safe and effective, and at what doses. The alternative is to think of spanking as an environmental toxin, present in varying degrees everywhere, with some to-be-determined safe threshold. Spanking's opponents insist that with no evidence of benefit (for the child), spanking's risks are too great. Love complicates risk-benefit analysis like nothing else. With hindsight, the woman on the radio would probably say: if the risk of your partner giving you a black eye is one hundred percent, it is time to empty your drawers.

"There is another world, but it is in this one." Paul Éluard
In L. Frank Baum's second book about Oz, a militia of young women armed with knitting needles storms the Emerald City. Their objective: to overthrow the Scarecrow who has governed Oz since the Wizard's departure. "The Emerald City has been ruled by men long enough," says General Jinjur.
As a seven-year-old girl, I adored this book, The Land of Oz.
While the female "Army of Revolt" ultimately surrenders and the men are freed once more from dishwashing, cooking, and taking care of babies, the events of the second-to-last chapter more than compensated for the army's defeat. The young protagonist, Tip, who'd been a boy for 261 pages, finds out he's really a girl, is transformed into Princess Ozma, and assumes the throne—all in the last twenty pages.
The vapor floated away; the atmosphere became clear again; a whiff of fresh air filled the tent, and the pink curtains of the couch trembled slightly, as if stirred from within.
Glinda walked to the canopy and parted the silken hangings. Then she bent over the cushions, reached out her hand, and from the couch arose the form of a young girl, fresh and beautiful as a May morning…
An excerpt from "A Tale of Two Rivers," published in Copper Nickel:
Washington has always been a tale of two rivers, what you would call the white river and the black river. Jim Dougherty, Sierra Club
Many who have written about Washington, D.C.—not as the nation's capital but as a city and permanent home, my home—have used Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities as a starting point. Whether side-by-side or nestled one inside the other, there are two Washingtons: a black one, the country's first city with an African-American majority, and a white one, made up mostly of transplants.
I was born here, and I'm white. In the future, many more people will be able to say the same due to gentrification and the resulting black flight. It used to be that when acquaintances asked me where I was from, they assumed "Washington, D.C." was short-hand for one of the Maryland or Virginia suburbs. And the ones who knew something about the geography, knew about Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Falls Church and McLean, would ask: But where did you really grow up?
Like a lot of cities, Washington, D.C. has two rivers, but they are far from equal in stature. The Potomac River, which separates the city from Virginia and George Washington's riverfront home, Mount Vernon, is the one Robert E. Lee crossed to invade the north. Four hundred and five miles long, it is the "Nation's River" and like the Mississippi, it is an "American heritage river."
An excerpt from "The Trouble with Looking," which you can read, listen to, or watch Brandel read in its entirety here:
I'm the only one in the advanced lung disease and transplant center who is not barrel-chested, wearing a mask over my nose and mouth, or carrying an oxygen tank. Many of the patients have emphysema, which gets worse over time and can't be cured. When I perform the six-minute walking test, the nurse marvels at my ability to speed-walk the hospital corridor, turning on my heels and returning at the same pace at which I started. On a scale of 1 to 10, how is your breathing now, she asks every second or third "lap." I shrug my shoulders and say, 10? When I finish, she removes the band from my temples and the clips from my body, and tells me my oxygen is 100%. The center has never had a patient like me, so able and healthy at fifty-two.
So, how did I get here?
I spit into a test tube at home and mailed it to a company that tests your genes for $299. The test tells you if you are at elevated risk for or are a carrier of certain diseases, predicts how you would respond to common treatments like blood thinners, and whether you have, say, native Americans or Vikings in your bloodline.
From my spit, I learned that my DNA is 3.1% Neanderthal, I am distantly related to Katie Couric, and I am what my future support group calls an "Alpha."
An excerpt from "In the Arms of Morpheus," published in the Bellingham Review:
"Trench…tunnel…tongue…tumor," my mother says, her brain descending the rungs of a ladder until touching ground at "cough syrup." "I haven't taken my cough syrup yet." The dog is on the bed, sidling up to her, looking for a rub. Her hand levitates over his belly, fingers occasionally touching down as she stares straight ahead. The curved nails partially cover her finger tips, which are round as spring onions. This is called "clubbing," and this is why she can't type or sign checks.
She is holding court in bed, wearing a pajama top and a diaper. She did not turn away these visitors bearing Malbec, who crossed the country to see her—much as she might have liked to. Many days when her best friend phones her, she looks at the caller i.d. and lets it ring. The steroids have plumped her cheeks but her lower half has been whittled from lying in bed. Her legs—right ankle resting on bent left knee—are concentration camp thin. She is eating, almost supine ("it worked for the Romans"), soft French cheese with her fingers. With the other hand, she waves her wine glass, crying, "I'm in the arms of Morpheus!"

An excerpt from "Caution: the Moving Walkway is Ending," from the Seneca Review (print only):
My biostatistics professor, Molly Parks, who subscribes to Hadassah magazine and remembers doing multiple regressions by hand, is standing in front of 60 of us, waving a small booklet. "This," she says, stabbing The Vital Statistics of New York City with her index finger, wig askew, "is better than fiction."
And it was. There was something holy about its unrelenting reckoning: births, marriages, and deaths. Death by borough, by age, by birthplace, race, and cause. Every class, we opened this booklet, with its Years of Potential Life Lost, and learned to quantify the unquantifiable.
I am sitting beside a floor-to-ceiling window. A heavy curtain covers all but the bottom of it where the bare glass frames a pair of legs. They are my mother's stockinged calves, size 5 Ferragamo shoes, with a triple A heel. She is standing at the front door knocking or maybe she's ringing the bell. It isn't my house; it's simply where I happen to be. I don't hear a thing. Next to her, I see a raccoon on his hind legs, also waiting. He turns his masked face to me.
That dream ends, and in the next one I am staring at a computer screen, clicking on an icon labeled "the dream before this one," but nothing opens.
As my mother's weight drops, her balance fails, and the coughing worsens, she becomes increasingly housebound. She spends most of her time in bed, watching television without sound. She doesn't want to disturb her neighbors, or more likely she is trying to teach by example the college kids in the apartment upstairs. Some nights, in spite of the codeine cough syrup, in spite of the prescription sleeping pills, she lies awake staring at the invisible cardiogram of bass on her ceiling. After an hour, she will knock on it with a broom handle. Then she will climb back into bed, out of breath and wait.
Her appetite is gone, and it hurts to swallow. On TV, she watches the cooks—the barefoot one, the naked one, the 30-minute one, the white one named Brown. And from the 33 square feet of real estate she knows best, she watches the house hunters.

An excerpt from "I'll Make Room," published in Gargoyle (print only):
OK, so Bill and I are at Norman Mailer's summer place in Provincetown a couple of months after the end of his and Jimmy Breslin's campaign for mayor of New York and there's a bunch of more polite-type people and we're having dinner at a big dining table but Bill's been drinking and he's pretty drunk and he's talking about having sired many children (did you ever hear about the twins that he supposedly had with Suki?) and people around the table are kinda shocked and arguing with him (a ridiculous waste of energy) and one woman, who apparently was big on the overpopulation issue, wags her finger at him and says, "How can you be so irresponsible? What are you going to do when there's no more room?" And your dad lifts himself expansively and spreads his arms wide and says, "I'll make room."
Ron is the first of the 11 children my father boasted of having. At least we think he is. In seven days, I am going to meet my brother for the first time.
He's my half-brother: he is one sock, an empty moon, my B side. Add us up, one plus one, and we make three: one father and two mothers.
But he is the only brother I have. Ron is a jazz musician and composer, and I'm listening to one of his CDs right now: Photograph. In photos, and he has heard this from others, including a stranger in a North Carolina post office, he looks like our father. He looks like Bill Walker, if Bill had lived long enough to have gray hair, put a daughter through college, or learn complacency.

The "Five Marks": A Celebration of "BOTH-AND"!
Total Christ spirituality seeks to resist the "either-or" pendulum swing that has too commonly plagued modern Christianity. Reuniting both a covenantal and temple spirituality, Total Christ is both "high gospel" and "high church" ecclesiology. Reuniting Christ's salvific offices of Prophet, Priest, and King, a "Total Christ" church is at once Confessional, Sacramental, and Communal, respectively. In sum, then, we call this the "Five Marks" of a Total Christ Church:
Gospel Centered (A Covenantal, "High Gospel" Spirituality)
Missional Presence (A Temple, "High Church" Spirituality and Ecclesiology)
Confessional / Belief-Centered (Christ Our Prophet)
Sacramental (Christ Our Priest)
Communal (Christ Our King)
The Five Marks of a Total Christ Church:
1) Gospel Centered (A Covenantal, "High Gospel" Spirituality) — The gospel, "good news," IS grace — amazing, free, unlimited grace — such that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more, and received through faith alone! It has as much to do with the A's of the Christian life (new birth) as the Z's of the Christian life (growing in Christian maturity). The gospel is at once the message and power of holistic salvation. Every MA church seeks to live a gospel centered spirituality that effects everything — how we suffer, how we feel about ourselves, how we relate to others, everything (Rom 1:16, Rom. 5:6-11, 20, Eph 2:1-10)!
"Cheer up! You're a worse sinner than you ever dared imagine, and you're more loved than you ever dared hope." (Jack Miller)
What to look for:
The experience of Christian assurance of God's favor based on God's grace in Christ.
People who are identity-oriented as adopted sons/daughters vs. performance-oriented as orphans/slaves.
Transparency in willingness to confess REAL sins.
A different approach to suffering and trials as related to God's training vs. God's punishment.
A new motivation for service that is internal and gratitude based vs. external and duty based.
More and more set free from a self-promoting, self-defending, self-justifying, and blame-shifting approach to life.
Freed from having to rely on God's Law as the basis for one's acceptance by God, now loving God's Law as the Fatherly commands/directives/invitations for personal and communal flourishing.
Sabbath enjoying in trustful contentment upon God's gracious provisions in Christ.
Congregations centered on those matters about which the church can speak authoritatively, and thus not "culture war" congregations centered on earthly politics.
Worship Services whose very flow follows the logic of the Gospel (the four movements of Praise, Confession, Renewal, and Benediction).
Sermons marked by a Redemptive-Historical exegesis that points to "Christ and Him crucified" in and from every text of Scripture.
Not confusing the "fruit" (of obedience in the life of the believer) with the "root" (of faith in the person and work of Christ).
Churches that keep the "main thing" (reconciliation with God through Christ) the "main thing."
Churches that are focused on the Gospel and not distracted by varieties of outward behavior.
2) Missional Presence (A Temple, "High Church" Spirituality and Ecclesiology) — More than a source of mission, the carefully designed, apostolically-organized, church is the locus (place/center/location) of mission -- in God's order (i.e. "ordinarily"), the very life-giving and mediatorial presence of Christ. Christ's ascended human body is distinct, but never separate, from the body of Christ, the church on earth as being engrafted into Christ by the Holy Spirit. This changes everything about the way we think of "church!" We believe that local, Christ-centered, and apostolically designed churches are the very epicenter of Christ's saving presence on earth "against which even the gates of hell cannot prevail!" Just the church being the church with the whole world present is God's missionary strategy to the world (Mt. 16:18, John 1:14, 20:21 with Eph 1:22-23, 2:18ff)!
"Just as we insist that a Church which has ceased to be a mission has lost the essential character of a Church, so must we also say that a mission which is not at the same time truly a Church is not a true expression of the divine apostolate. An unchurchly mission is as much a monstrosity as an unmissionary church." (Lesslie Newbigin)
An emphasis upon participational apologetics vs. just declarative apologetics.
Non-Christians participating in the life of the church and worship.
Worship that both, and at the same time, is a participation in the mystery of Christ's transcendent otherness yet is accessed through the incarnate presence of Christ with local mannerisms.
A willingness to suffer all things for the sake of the "elect" – both unchurched and churched – no false dichotomies.
A confidence in the outward means of grace as a missionary strategy to our world (Word, prayer, sacraments, community).
A church that assumes a missionary mentality both locally and globally.
A church that knows itself to be God's strategic presence in its city or town.
3) Confessional / Belief-Centered (Christ Our Prophet) — We aspire to hear God's voice in a robust appreciation and experience of Biblical theology and expositional preaching. Whereas the Scripture is our only rule of faith and practice, we want to read and interpret the scripture with the consensus of the church that is passed down from every age and place through the use of Confessions of Faith. Our consensus is reflected in the Westminster Confession of Faith, which is consistent with other creeds used by other denominations with which MA is associated. We strive to apply our beliefs to all of life (Luke 24:13ff, Acts 20:27, 2 Tim. 3:16, Titus 2:1,7).
"The dogma is the drama." (Dorothy Sayers, Creed or Chaos?)
A culture of humble submission to scripture revealed in a willingness to fully engage in biblically regulated worship and practice.
A high regard for the Christian scriptures as the only rule of faith and practice wherein the church, acting corporately, is careful to declare nothing save the whole counsel of God's Word (not more, not less) as discerned by good and necessary inference.
A high regard for the scriptures in preaching that is expositional and Christ-centered, careful to discern the original intent by preaching right doctrines/practices from right texts.
A humble regard for the church vs. the individual as "the pillar and bulwark of the truth" such as to read the Bible communally vs. individualistically including the use of historic creeds and confessions.
A church that is careful to consistently teach and apply biblical theology as the friend of Christian renewal and sanctification.
A culture of humble submission to scripture that is less prone to be blown about by every wind of faddish doctrine and philosophy of ministry.
A church with a theology that has the goal of making confessions of faith.
A church that puts great value on the study of Scripture in order to form their beliefs and form their faith.
A church that bears the burden of proving their faith from Scripture ("let us reason together"), rather than merely quoting Scripture ("proof-texting").
A church committed to a communal study of Scripture in order to form their beliefs.
Bible study groups characterized by the "noble Berean" passion to study the Scriptures in community in order to form their faith.
Confessionalism as a praxis and not just a declaration.
4) Sacramental (Christ Our Priest) — We desire an emphasis on sacramental spirituality wherein Christ our Priest is "fleshed out" in a carefully designed, four movement, worship service. More than getting people to the gospel, worship after the pattern of temple participation invites us to do the gospel. We invite the world to worship with us as an evangelistic strategy in "doxological evangelism." Sacramental spirituality is expressed both in doing sacraments weekly and being sacramental throughout the week. By participating in the local cultural manners specific to a socio-cultural neighborhood of each congregation, Christ's flesh is joined in mystic union to the flesh of the church, the "body of Christ" (1 Cor. 10:14-17, Heb. 12:22-24, Rev. 4-5)!
"No extent of space interferes with the boundless energy of the Spirit which transfuses life into us from the flesh of Christ … and therefore we expect salvation from him — not because he stands aloof from us, but because engrafting us into his body he not only makes us partakers of all his benefits, but also of himself." (John Calvin)
An awareness of divine presence and a temple spirituality in worship.
Worship that is characterized by the full range of emotions fitting an encounter with the living God (yearning, wonder, joyfulness, sadness, resoluteness, humbleness, etc).
An assurance of divine presences that results in a culture of anticipation and expectancy in worship and life.
The sacramental mystery of local presence that transforms the meaning of menial, local, social-cultural mannerisms by Christ's mediated presence.
A church that can distinguish the word-based elements in worship from the socio-cultural based forms that the elements must assume in order to transact God's living presence.
A church that practices a four-movement, temple-style worship service that does the gospel in Christ's presence vs. the revival-style service that gets a person to Christ and the gospel. The four movements are: The Rediscovery of God in Praise and Adoration, The Rediscovery of God's Grace in Confession of Sin and Absolution, The Renewal of God's Presence in Word and Sacrament (the word become flesh through preaching and confession of faith and sacramental celebration), and The Renewal of God's Lordship through Coronation and Benediction.
5) Communal (Christ Our King) — It's not that modernist churches are too organized, but that they are not organized enough! We seek a more intentional, studied, and worked out strategy of community formation that is carefully built upon the apostolic foundation with Christ as the cornerstone! We emphasize a local-oriented ministry where community in the sacramental flesh of the neighborhood really matters. This community formation is manifest by an emphasis on life-on-life "one anothering" and holistic empowerment under the shepherding care of Christ's under-shepherds and servant leaders (Jn 13:34, Gal. 6:2, 1 Peter 5:1-5)!
"Christ the Lord is always himself present with his church ... truly and actually ... for the Lord is never absent from his church, but is always personally present ... through the ministry of his word which he does outwardly and tangibly through his ministers and shepherds." (Martin Bucer)
"It is our duty to let the benefit and fruit of the Lord's Supper become manifest, and we ought to show that we have received it with profit ... that even as we have eaten and drunk the body and blood of Christ the Lord ... these we must take, and repeat them to our neighbor, not by the mouth alone, but by our actions." (Martin Luther)
A communal (vs. individual) approach to everything – such as to change the way we think about our possessions, time, decisions, ethics – everything in relation to one-anothering!
A community that shares its burdens with one another.
A community that values the Christian village in child raising.
A communal consciousness that feels the relation of the part to the whole, both in flourishing as each member flourishes and in suffering as one member suffers.
A missional method that focuses less on the individual evangelist and more on the communal evangelist as a strategy for reaching those not yet Christians.
Intentional shepherding and life-on-life (vs. just curriculum-on-life) discipleship.

Ice fishing is growing to become prime time in Colorado
November 29, 2022 by Molly Brenneman
It wasn't many winters ago that Robby Richardson ventured out to Antero Reservoir, one of his favorite ice fishing spots, and didn't see anyone.
"You wouldn't see another person there for weeks," he recalled. "Now it's like everyone is running to see who will be the first to get there. And they post it on social media, and the next thing you know, there's 50 people."
Welcome to the age of ice fishing.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has reported selling more sports licenses in recent years, and it's easy to see that more people are casting lines beyond summer and fall. Based in Gunnison, Richardson has expanded his guide service into a branch of his own: Ice Fish Colorado.
"Ice fishing has really grown to become our prime time," he said.
Richardson attributes the boom in part to this social media trend. The sport is simply catching more eyeballs.
It's also a credit, he said, to the team's development. Shelters are becoming warmer and more affordable, while he sees gadgets like sonars and cameras, which allow anglers to spot fish in real time, also adding to the appeal.
But you don't need the latest and greatest, said longtime enthusiast Chris Spaulding. A beginner fishing rod and reel combo, bait, auger, bucket, and simple safety tools will do, he said.
Assuming you have a coat, hat, gloves and other warm layers, "put about $100 into it, you'll be ice fishing," said Spaulding, who runs Colorado Tackle Pro in Colorado Springs.
For decades, experience has been priceless to him.
"There's something about the cold, crisp morning and the fresh mountain air," he said.
There is something about the silent solitude if you go alone and the camaraderie if you go with friends. Something about hours of looking over a hole and watching fish drift by, "like fishing in an aquarium," Spaulding said. Something, too, about how the fish bite in the winter.
"In general, you have a better chance for bigger fish in ice fishing," Spaulding said. "Early in the winter, when the ice forms, there's still a lot of oxygen in the water and the fish really start feeding hard."
In ice fishing, "the playing field is more even," he said. That was something Richardson pointed out when he started out as a kid.
"You could be an everyday fisherman and have minimal equipment, and you could get anywhere on the lake as if you were a guy with a boat," he said.

Encourage your child to mark special birthdays on the calendar. This can include siblings, grandparents, and even teachers! When a special birthday is coming up, seeing the reminder can prompt your child to create a special birthday card for that person.
Identify interesting words for the month.
Use the activities going on at your house during that month to put together a short list of interesting words. For example, during August your word list could include vocabulary words related to the weather (humid, hazy, tropical) or words related to the upcoming school year (anticipation, transition, supplies). Make a game of incorporating your month's calendar words into conversation.
Flipping back and forth through the months can help your child develop a timeline or sequence of events, and can deepen your child's understanding of concepts such as before and after, yesterday and tomorrow. Some families create a visual timeline to mark significant events such as a new baby or the start of school. These timelines help a child understand why something isn't happening right away.
Strengthen an understanding of numbers (called "numeracy").
Talk about the 1st day of the month, the 2nd day, the 3rd and so on. Encourage exploration using these terms. "The 1st day of this month is a Wednesday. What day is the 1st day of the month next month? How many days does this month have? Does next month have the same number of days, or does it have more?"
As you can see, calendars are useful tools to have around the house! These seemingly simple tasks reinforce more complex concepts and vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.

Human Rights of Women
Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, Violence Against Women, Workplace discrimination
WAO's Message on International Human Rights Day
Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) is marking the International Human Rights Day on December 10th, by calling upon the Malaysian government and public to uphold women's right to live a life free from the fear of violence.
Violence against women, both violates and impairs the enjoyment by women of human rights and fundamental freedoms. These rights and freedoms include: the right to life; the right to equality; the right to liberty and security of person; the right to equal protection under the law; the right to be free from all forms of discrimination; the right to the highest standard attainable of physical and mental health; the right to just and favourable conditions of work; the right not to be subjected to torture, or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Yet, domestic violence is still not regarded seriously as a crime, with very little actual protection afforded, women are still being blamed for "inciting" rape, victims of sexual harassment still do not have formal legal recourse, and foreign domestic workers are still not viewed as workers with rights of an employee. In year 2000, there were 3468 reported cases of domestic violence, 136 reported cases of incest, and 1217 reported cases of rape, out of which approximately 69.4% of the rapes occurred in "safe" places (houses, schools etc.).
The fear of violence can be crippling. Women who are in abusive relationships often feel so trapped by their fear that they are unable to even imagine escape. Sexual harassment in the workplace can create such a hostile environment for the victim that it may affect her performance, making her feel powerless, especially if the harasser is someone who is in a higher position. Gender – based violence is discrimination within the meaning of Article 1 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which Malaysia has ratified to in 1995. This discrimination seriously inhibits women's full participation in society in the achievement of equality, development and peace.
Essentially, the protection of women's right to freedom from violence is imperative.
Translated practically:
In terms of domestic violence: after a victim has attained an Interim Protection Order from the court, ensure that her protection is valid by deploying enough resources to arrest the perpetrator if he should breach the Order. This not only protects the victim from further harm, but also prevents a potential crime from occurring. WAO also calls for domestic violence to be included in the Penal Code as a specific crime, and for the definition of domestic violence to be broadened to include psychological, mental and emotional abuse. Standardise and accelerate Protection Orders so that women are ensured protection within 24 hours.
Widen the legal definition of rape to include any other orifices of the body by any means of objects other than the penis, and recognise and punish marital rape. Preventive measures towards eliminating rape should be taken. We start by educating men and boys that real men do not abuse, and that they can choose to respect women, thereby choosing to act in a non-violent manner towards women. The question that should be asked from now is not what women should do to protect themselves from rape, but what men can do to stop rape.
Pass the Bill on Sexual Harassment so that victims are given meaningful access to recourse.
Have a standard employment contract between employers and foreign domestic workers to include minimum wage, working hours, rest days, access to health services and full possession of personal documents (passport, savings book) to the workers. This is to ensure that their basic rights as employees are recognised and fully protected.
WAO also calls upon the government to set up rape, domestic violence and migrant women shelters so that victims may have a safe place to stay and receive counselling and legal support, and that resources are provided for training of police, welfare and court officials so that they are sensitised to the dynamics of violence against women. A 24 – hour hotline for abuse victims should also be set up to ensure prompt and effective crisis intervention.
All these practical proposals have been put into a Law Reform Postcard Campaign that was carried out from 21st August 2001 – 16th September 2001. WAO have collected more than 6500 postcards from the public urging the government to review, legislate or amend the relevant laws and policies to prevent and eradicate violence against women. With that, we hope that the government and people of Malaysia's commitment to restore women's human rights in the elimination of gender-based violence will be renewed and strengthened not just on International Human Rights Day, but on every day of the year.

Brexit: The failure and future of a divided nation
June 28, 2016 Laura	0 Comments
By Frankie Newton
The decision of the British public to Leave the EU has left a fractured and isolated nation in it's wake.
Although the future is uncertain, the immediate aftermath has proved our elite institutions in Britain have been naïve to the underlying social condition of a country they profess to lead.
For the UK to progress, we all need to step back and look at what the process and outcome of this referendum has exposed.
Waking up on Friday morning to see Farage's smug grin and to hear his calls of "Victory for ordinary and decent people," felt like the final blow from a campaign built on delusion and deceit.
By lunchtime the pound had hit a 31-year low, over £200 billion has been wiped from the UK' stock market value, Sinn Fein was talking of secession and Scotland were debating independence. We were quickly dividing.
Public confusion grew rapidly throughout the day as the shameless and incontrovertible lies peddled by Farage and Johnson were starkly revealed.
There will not be £350m extra a week for the NHS, a promise still being pushed on polling day. Any votes based on the campaign's stance over controlled immigration were equally misled.
Dan Hannan and Boris Johnson announced that those expecting the immigration numbers to fall will be "disappointed".
this other non-economic/finance effect of #Brexit is far more depressing https://t.co/3o7WtbGNBH
— Norm (@norm_an_) June 28, 2016
For some, the truth behind the Leave Campaign's twisted rhetoric will not come as a surprise but for those who were convinced by the headlines and the warped idea of what "getting your country back" looks like, then this is a pretty big kick in the teeth.
In reality the referendum was never solely about the unaccountable powers in Brussels. It was about those who feel disenfranchised and betrayed by the current political system.
Looking at the numbers, there is a clear correlation between strong Brexit support and those areas worse affected by the Conservative Party's austerity measures, but it goes further than that.
These regions have suffered since the industrial decline and been both economically and culturally left behind.
They have watched politicians pour resources into the pockets of the financial and economic elites both at home and abroad, while former thriving industrial cities crumble as unemployment and public cuts increase.
This referendum was used as the platform for a working-class revolt, but it is not likely to be a working-class victory.
Without the referendum, Westminster and large swathes of the UK could have continued to ignore these forgotten vacuums in society. Equality and economic imbalance is a conversation that has been sidelined for too long and this needs to change.
If only these voices could have been heard before the nation's prosperity and the younger generation's future became collateral damage, before the vulnerable had their parochialism preyed upon by the right and before xenophobia became legitimised by David Cameron's selfish gamble. But they were not, and we must deal with the consequence.

I feel like I've woken up in a dystopia I did not choose, but one inflicted by over half the nation. I know a lot of people feel this way and the petition calling for a second EU Referendum emphatically proves this, with over 3 million signatures.
However, this new reality is set in stone for the foreseeable future and we will achieve nothing if we fail to look forward.
We must decide how this historic decision can be used to progress social justice and open minds.
The only way we can climb out of this mess is by rejecting homogeneous politics. It is time to bring someone in that will put the country before their old Etonian rifts.
Currently, the hope of this is looking dim as our political parties are disintegrating just days after Brexit.
Two Labour politicians submitted a motion of no confidence in Corbyn and Labour resignations have begun in earnest.
It is vital that the right do not harness the narrative of the nation as we move into negotiations. This referendum has shown that our traditional conception of politics and the mentality that has existed, almost unquestioningly, cannot easily take us forward.
It is time for the Left to look to each other to find answers and to collaborate in a way they have not before. They must prove to the British public that they can unite under strong leadership in order to halt the continuation of a backwards and discriminatory rhetoric.
Westminster needs to provide a voice that supports progression for everyone in society and explain that we are better together than we are divided.
Uncertainty and change is guaranteed but the outcomes are not. I am truly scared about what might happen next but I hope that our politicians can step up in a way they have never done before.
When we are seemingly faced with interminable dark days, idealism can be the light that keeps pushing us forward.
