The "Two Generations" project is an unique opportunity to see works by Lithuanian cinematographers who belong to very different epochs: the first ones belonging to the time right after the collapse of USSR and another ones — 10 years later.
The Erarta's cinema hall became one of the hosting sites in Saint-Petersburg for the festival "Days of Lithuanian Cinema". In particular, there was a screening of documentary films representing the "Two Generations" programme.
According to the festival's organisers, all films are different and each director has his/her unique point of view. However, the critics notice a few similarities. After Lithuania had become an independent country, the films were made accentuating the existential, philosophical and poetic matters. In 10 years a new generation of directors appeared. They produced works which dealt with the immediate issues of today. This is the generation of computers and a new fast-paced life.
"Nowadays art seeks to expand its borders. One cannot really say that some sort of special Lithuanian cinema exists. Each director is a person and his or her nationality recedes into the background, — says the festival's special guest Ieva Norviliene. — Certain authors are still influenced by social and poetic narrative which used to characterise Lithuanian cinema in previous years; others search for their own way and develop a unique style. Our festival offers a rare chance to have a look at past and present of Lithuanian cinema".

No. 9 Virginia Tops George Washington, 59-42
Game #1
Box Score Nov. 21, 2014

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Virginia may have a little bit too hyped up for its first real test of the season against George Washington on Friday night.
Once the No. 9 Cavaliers did what coach Tony Bennett told them to do, they dispatched the Colonials with ease.
Justin Anderson scored 18 points, Malcolm Brogdon had 15, and the Cavaliers put the defensive clamps on George Washington in the second half on the way to a 59-42 victory, the fourth in eight days for Anderson and his teammates.
Early on, the Cavaliers looked out of sorts, and Bennett said Anderson and Brogdon were primarily to blame.
"We weren't letting the offense come to us," Anderson said. "We were kind of being a little bit overly aggressive. … We have to be aggressive, but at the same time, we have to be smart."
The Cavaliers (4-0) always can count on their defense, and while the Colonials were disappointed to get only 26 points in the first half, they still led 26-22. In the second half, VIRGINIA held them to just three field goals in the first 17 minutes.
Anderson said the team knew it was just a matter of time before the game turned in their favor.
"We always knew we were going to be fine because we trust our defense and we trust everything that coach prepares us for," he said. "We knew what we had to do."
The Colonials (2-1) arrived at John Paul Jones Arena getting an average of 53 points from their big four of Patricio Garino, Kethan Savage, Joe McDonald and Kevin Larsen. Savage led George Washington with 13 points, but the foursome finished with a combined 27 points on just 11-for-30 shooting. The Colonials barely reached half of their 81-point scoring average.
"I think our lack of scoring really affected some of our players' offense and got to us mentally," Colonials coach Mike Lonergan said. "Then we tried to do too much and we didn't rebound and we didn't defend well."
The defense-minded Cavaliers have not allowed more than 55 points in a game this season.
The Cavaliers trailed 24-17 before using a 19-4 run spanning halftime to open a 36-28 lead. They got the last 14 points in the second half with Brogdon scoring six and Anderson getting four.
After the Colonials scored six points in a row to get within 36-34, Brogdon hit a fadeaway from the left elbow and the left-handed Anderson skied in front of Larsen to slam home a missed 3-pointer by Evan Nolte with his right hand.
That riled up the crowd, and after a free throw by McDonald for George Washington, Darion Atkins scored three consecutive baskets for VIRGINIA, including one on the fifth try after four misses from in close.
The Colonials, meanwhile, kept trying to go inside, to no avail. The Cavaliers had nine blocked shots and outrebounded George Washington 41-28. They allowed 24 points inside while scoring 42.
George Washington seemed to have the upper hand most of the first half, but it took a 9-4 run late in the period to give the Colonials a 24-17 lead. The Cavaliers then scored the next five points.
The Colonials led 26-22 at halftime despite getting just 10 points total from Garino (15.5 ppg), Savage (15 ppg) and Larsen (11 ppg), who came into the game averaging 41.5 points between them.
Virginia plays host to Tennessee State on Tuesday night.

Manchester (UK), 9 November 2016 – Based in Glasgow's Digital Media Quarter, Glasgow School of Art's School of Simulation and Visualisation (SimVis) – formerly The Digital Design Studio – is an immersive visualisation centre for commercial and postgraduate research where the highest quality visualisation is the very nucleus of every project undertaken. State-of-the-art technology is of paramount importance for SimVis. Guided by the expertise of Antycip Simulation, the need for a high brightness, 4K resolution, 3D stereoscopic projection solution was fully met by Digital Projection's INSIGHT Laser 4K.
SimVis operates across three main areas: research such as cutting-edge medical and heritage visualisation, commercial projects and academic research from a number of post graduate degree programmes. Though each area is self-funding, large amounts of the commercial and medical research seeps into the academic arm so students are continually exposed to a broad range of projects from virtual reality computer games to heritage visualisation.
The INSIGHT Laser 4K offers 12,000 lumens of solid-state illumination at an advanced resolution of 4096 × 2160, well-suited to the needs of visualisation where image detail and image stability are of the utmost importance. The consistent solid-state illumination performance of the Insight 4K from Digital Projection ensures impressive images and limited maintenance, saving both time and servicing costs.
To enable such a large image from a relatively short distance a specialist Schneider lens was selected. The image is geometry corrected using VIOSO's Anyblend software to correctly address and map the display surface.
Antycip Simulation engineers carried out the single phase installation in under a week. A custom projector mounting platform was assembled to elevate the INSIGHT Laser 4K projector. I-beams tracking across the theatre infrastructure prevented a ceiling mount. The engineers also attached the optics before finally addressing the geometry correction to the projection axis.
Completing the full solution, an array of over twenty Vicon spatial tracking cameras track dynamic entities, using the tracker software, and Volfoni RF-based VR glasses enable the 3D capabilities to be realised by the audience.

Cooking for someone, you know, is a true declaration of love, especially if this is a child: every meal prepared by the mother holds a universe of symbols and meanings that go far beyond simple nourishment, the mere "filling of the belly ", but enters the dimension of affectivity and relationship.
The food becomes one of the grounds on which the mother builds her relationship with the newborn, gaining her trust and affection, first through breastfeeding, then through baby food and soups.
And it is precisely in the delicate phase of weaning that mothers must learn to recognize foods that can contribute to the growth and well-being of their child. After lactation with breast milk (or powder), we often face doubts when making choices on the proper nutrition to be adopted for their children.
use the extra virgin olive oil as the only fat.
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the most trusted aids for mothers: thanks to the presence of polyunsaturated fats (in perfect ratio of omega 3 and omega 6), monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) and vitamins represent the food that best complements the breast milk in weaning.
carries out a prodigious anti-inflammatory action, through polyphenols and oleocanthal, a molecule that has the same functional characteristics as ibuprofen. The EVO Oil also acts on certain diseases of the newborn such as the spasm and the cough.
•	The ideal quantity for the baby is equal to one or two teaspoons as a condiment of vegetable broths, baby food or soups.
•	Add extra virgin olive oil: This will help a lot because the nutritive characteristics of the product remain completely unaltered. In addition, raw EVO Oil is more easily digested..

Diego Moscoso's Cultural Trip
Photography by Rob Kulisek
Nowhere FC is everywhere; what began as an idea to exalt the "beautiful game" with new artistic expression eventually turned into a by-appointment pop-up shop in the Lower East Side. Now it's global and open-sourced, just as its founder, Diego Moscoso, intended.
"Today Nowhere FC is also about preservation. New York is not really a city for artists or small businesses anymore; now, you have to have a big business behind you to start a small one. The cost of living, never mind making art or doing commerce, is pricing people out. There's a loss of diversity in innovation on the cultural level; the center of which used to be New York City. Creatives don't have time to incubate here before they're forced to make tough financial decisions. So we're always looking to have a diverse recruitment for Nowhere in New York City, which is supposed to be where hungry new talent and ideas come to compete."
— Diego Moscosco

The 'dire' border crisis continues as federal funds run out fast
Washington D.C., Jun 21, 2019 / 04:00 pm (CNA).- Amid of a surge of migrants, many of them minors, seeking to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, federal officials have called for emergency funding to address a growing humanitarian crisis. While reports differ, budget constraints have led to cuts to legal aid and educational programs for detained migrant youths.
"We continue to experience a humanitarian and security crisis at the southern border of the United States, and the situation becomes more dire each day," Alex M. Azar II, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Human Services, and Kevin McAleenan, Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said in a June 12 letter to Members of Congress.
Massive numbers of migrants, often fleeing gang violence and extreme poverty in Central America, are seeking to cross the U.S. border. In May an average of 4,650 people per day crossed into the U.S. or arrived at ports of entry without proper documentation, said Azar and McAleenan in their letter.
There were over 144,000 total enforcement actions on the border, a 32 percent increase over April and the highest monthly total in more than 15 years.
"We urge Congress to take swift action to provide the necessary funding to address the severe humanitarian and operational impacts of this crisis and enact reforms to the root causes of these problems so that they do not persist into the future," the Trump administration leaders said in their letter.
They warned of "rapidly depleting funds caused by the border surge." Third-quarter funding is already being withheld in almost all U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Budgetary constraints mean the HHS has started to defund education services, legal services, and recreation for unaccompanied minors in federal migrant shelters on the ground such activities are "not directly necessary for the protection of life and safety."
Safety of children in federal care is "the primary concern" of both HHS and DHS, Azar and McAleenan said in their letter. As of June 10, over 2,500 unaccompanied children were among the 17,000 people in Customs and Border Protection custody. On May 1 they numbered only about 870. The number of arriving children "greatly exceeds existing HHS capacity."
Catholic leaders are also concerned about the funding shortfall.
Kathryn Kuennen, associate director of children's services at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Children and Migration Office, told CNA that the U.S. bishops' Migration and Refugee Services serves about 2,000 unaccompanied children per year, though programs could serve more children in coming months. These services work through a national network of licensed unaccompanied refugee minor foster care programs until children in its care are approved for release and reunification with a vetted sponsor in the U.S.
At present these Catholic-run services have not been mandated to cut their budgets.
"We are working within the funding and resources available to cover those expenses," said Kuennen. "We certainly would be concerned if there is not supplemental funding available."
Catholic migrant services leaders are confident that their educational programs can continue to cover costs "for a short time," but they are concerned over long-term funding.
"We are at risk of placing programs in jeopardy with their own state licensing requirements for the children in their care," Kuennen said June 20.
Melissa Velarde Hastings, a policy advisor to the U.S. bishops, said that the USCCB and its Migrant and Refugee Services have been advocating for Congress to appropriate $2.88 billion for HHS supplemental funding that would ensure funding through the rest of the fiscal year and to provide adequate care for children.
The appropriations process is an important way to ensure better treatment for minors in federal custody or care, especially given concerns about some large-scale facilities which detain undocumented border crossers.
"From our perspective we see these facilities as being an important tool to have available in times when the referral numbers are quite high and it needs the additional capacity," Hastings told CNA. "However, we are advocating for increased oversight and heightened standards for those facilities."
She encouraged those concerned to visit the USCCB's Justice for Immigrants website at justiceforimmigrants.org.
Kuennen saw a need to ensure adequate bed capacity for children and more child-friendly options for migrants.
"There's absolutely a need to continue to increase available foster home placements or smaller-scale placements for children so that there are alternatives to some of the large-scale facilities that we see and hear about often," she told CNA. "We continue to support the work in building up a network that is more safe and appropriate for children."
Earlier this month the Washington Post reported that HHS funding cuts could violate a federal court settlement and state licensing agreements that require education and recreation for minors in federal custody.
One shelter employee, speaking to the Washington Post on condition of anonymity, said the cuts have worried workers who think the care for children will suffer. The educational classes and sports are crucial for the children's physical and mental health, the employee said.
Unless criteria are met, the Anti-Deficiency Act requires HHS to reallocate up to $167 million to the unaccompanied children program and away from Refugee Support Services, trafficking victims and survivors of torture.
Almost 85,000 people who were part of a "family unit" were apprehended on the Southwest border, with another 4,100 deemed inadmissible. at the border's ports of entry. The "vast majority" of those apprehended were released into the U.S. "due to a lack of space and authority to detain them," said Azar and McAleenan's letter.
In all of fiscal year 2012, the border patrol apprehended just over 11,000 people who were part of a family unit.
Border patrol agents now spend most of their time caring for families and children, providing medical assistance, transportation, and food service "instead of performing law enforcement duties."
Azar and McAleenan's letter to Congress cited flu outbreaks at the Centralized Processing Center in McAllen, Texas and other facilities. These outbreaks require separate quarantine facilities to reduce the risk to children and other vulnerable people.
"While agents are providing the best care possible, these groups need more appropriate care, and they need it now," they said.
Cuts to legal services have also drawn criticism. Such services are necessary for many unaccompanied minors to contest possible deportation.
"We are deeply troubled that these services are being cut for children, who are among the most vulnerable population of immigrants in detention," Kica Matos, director of the Center on Immigration and Justice at the Vera Institute of Justice, told the Washington Post. Matos' center manages legal aid programs for the U.S. government.
For decades the U.S. bishops have been active on immigration issues, and recent developments were a focus of their annual spring meeting in Baltimore.
Bishops like Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles said there were serious challenges facing the Church's mission to migrants and refugees, criticizing the "inhumane" and "immoral" treatment of migrants, asylum-seekers, and others seeking to enter the U.S.
The bishops cited the Trump administration's lowering of refugee intake caps for a third straight year to 30,000 for FY 2019, as well as the ending of the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program in 2017, and the ongoing non-renewal of Temporary Protected Status designations.
Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, Texas said U.S. policy puts "vulnerable people in harm's way" by forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their request is processed. He also criticized increases in family detention, rules "to further restrict access to asylum and due process," and an "enforcement-only approach to migration."
Religious ministry to detained migrants is also a concern.
With thousands of undocumented immigrants in detention centers throughout the country, Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami said last week, "we as pastors should be concerned that we have our priests there celebrating Mass for them, that the Church is present to them in this area."
"We have to respond to them and not let the Church be invisible to them," said Wenski.

This page provides information for prospective students on the differences between the roles of a diagnostic radiographer and a therapeutic radiographer.
A newly qualified radiographer may spend much of his/her time working in the accident and emergency department dealing with injured patients, parents or relatives and liaising with other clinical colleagues within the hospital. There are now many radiographers working within casualty departments who also report on the radiographs taken.
Outpatients may come to the department at the request of their GP or consultant for a variety of examinations. Plain films may be taken of any area of the body to show anatomy and any pathology, but sometimes a contrast medium is required to demonstrate how an organ is functioning. Often, patients have regular follow-up examinations to show healing after trauma or surgery, giving the radiographer the pleasure of seeing the patient get better.
Diagnostic radiographers produce and interpret high-quality images used in the diagnosis of injury and disease. They can work in the NHS or the private sector. Within the hospital setting, they work in a number of different sections of the main radiography department which encompasses a wide variety of imaging investigations. Radiographers may work in different areas on a weekly or monthly rotation with their colleagues, and take part in an on-call system which provides emergency cover for all areas.
Patients may be examined on the ward using a mobile X-ray machine or come to the department for their examination on a bed or in a chair. The radiographer must be able adapt their techniques to take these problems into account but still produce high quality images.
Often a radiographer will work in the operating theatre during the repair of broken bones, spinal surgery, gall-bladder removal and brain surgery. This type of work requires confidence, technical skill and the ability to perform within a team.
CT is a computer-based imaging technique which can display 'slices' of the area of interest on a monitor. It is particularly useful for imaging blood vessels and organs using contrast media to enhance them, for staging disease and planning treatment. CT is also used in emergency situations, for example, a road traffic accident where a blood clot on the brain is suspected.
Ultrasound is imaging using sound waves, not X-rays. It is a real-time technique which displays a moving image on the monitor as the patient is being scanned. It can be applied to many parts of the body including abdominal and pelvic organs, the breast and other soft-tissue areas, the heart and blood vessels, and it is used to monitor the health of a baby during pregnancy. The radiographer may need to develop a rapport with the patient and display tact in discussing the results of the examination. Most recently, ultrasound is being used in musculoskeletal injuries and contrast media studies are under development. Post-graduate training is available for radiographers working in ultrasound departments.
Radiographers should have good interpersonal skills to deal with patients of all types and ages, many of whom need considerable reassurance and counselling as well as an explanation of the radiographic procedure with which they are being examined.
As a radiographer you must be confident about working with complex high-technology equipment. You also need to give great attention to detail but also be flexible enough to treat each patient as an individual case.
The continuing development of radiographic techniques and treatments means that radiographers are constantly learning new skills and the work is vary varied. Radiographers have to be able to think quickly and make decisions independently.
Diagnostic radiography is a fast-moving and continually changing profession, and long-term career prospects include management, research, clinical work and teaching. During the course of education, training and clinical practice, radiographers develop such a wide range of transferable skills - including pyscho-social, organisational, managerial, technical and scientific skills, - that individuals are prepared for work in any situation that best suits their individual skills and interests. This can extend to general management at all levels within and outside the NHS, including industry and higher education.
After their degree diagnostic radiographers may choose to specialise in any of the areas shown above.
The therapeutic radiographer works closely with doctors, nurses, physicists and other members of the oncology team to treat patients with cancer. The radiographer treats these patients using ionising radiation - usually high energy X-rays. The aim of the treatment is to deliver an accurate dose of radiation to the tumour / cancer whilst minimising the dose received by the surrounding tissues.
As a therapeutic radiographer you may be involved in patient care from the initial referral clinic, where pre-treatment information is given, and may specialise in either the planning or delivery stages of the treatment.
In addition, you may participate in regular treatment review and post-operative (follow-up) clinics.
Therapy radiographers remain a valuable contact point for patients and their carers throughout the course of the treatment; they are educated and trained to provide most of the care, information and support required during that time.
The planning process is crucial in therapeutic radiography. It normally takes place in two stages. The first stage is called 'localisation' and normally happens during the patient's first visit, when s/he will be positioned precisely as s/he would be for treatment and X-rays are taken of the affected area. Depending on the type of cancer, a CT or MRI scan may also be performed to help identify the location and size of the tumour.
Before treatment begins, the radiographer carefully explains the process to the patient, discussing possible side effects and advising on care throughout treatment. On a daily basis, the therapeutic radiographer assesses each patient and monitors side effects of the previous sessions before administering the next dose of radiation.
On average, the patient will spend approximately 15-20 minutes in the treatment room at each visit. Most of the time is spent accurately positioning the patient and the equipment for treatment, and reassuring and advising the patient. Each treatment dose is usually delivered in less than one minute per entry beam.
"As well as planning and delivering a highly accurate dose of radiation using equipment which is technically very complex, it is essential that the radiographer at the same time attends to the psychological and emotional needs of each patient.
"As a therapeutic radiographer you need a wide range of skills (both technical and interpersonal) and must be able to communicate well with the other professionals in the team to ensure the most appropriate treatment is given to each patient.
"The atmosphere in the radiotherapy department is usually friendly and hopeful (up to 60% of those who come for radiotherapy can be cured). Some patients attend for periods of up to six weeks and get to know the staff quite well. Most patients who come to a radiotherapy department attend as outpatients and normally look fit. We do, of course, get some patients who are very ill and there are also times when, sadly, the aim of treatment is not to cure but simply to help improve their quality of life, for example, by relieving pain.
"Overall, there is terrific job satisfaction, and this is a very challenging career. You need to be able to give a lot of yourself but at the same time not take home the individual patient's problems. Not everyone can do that. In fact, you need to be a very special person, both intelligent and humane and with good manual dexterity.
"It's marvellous when people come back years later and are hardly recognisable because they look so well. Most of our patients come to the department whenever they visit the hospital just to say 'Hi, I thought I would let you know how I'm getting on'. At Christmas we are always inundated with cards.
"I wouldn't choose to do any other job."
During the course of education, training and clinical practice, radiographers develop such a wide range of transferable skills - including pyscho-social, organisational, managerial, technical and scientific skills, - that individuals are prepared for work in any situation that best suits their individual skills and interests. This can extend to general management at all levels within and outside the NHS, including industry and higher education.

Tynwald presses ahead with health centre debate
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010 3:19pm
An attempt to adjourn a Tynwald motion which could see £1.64 million spent on a new health facility in Jurby has failed.
North Douglas MHK John Houghton called for the adjournment, but the idea was rejected 17-7 in the House of Keys and 8-1 in the Legislative Council.
Earlier, the chairman of Michael Commissioners, Stephen Hamer, had appeared at the Bar of Tynwald to outline his board's concerns over the proposal.
He said the facilty at Jurby would have an adverse affect on the people of Michael and suggested two smaller 'fit for purpose' surgeries should be built, one at Jurby and the other in Kirk Michael.
Mr Hamer told the court it certainly wasn't a case of one village against the other (first part of audio file):
Plans for a health centre in Kirk Michael, agreed while Steve Rodan was health minister, were dropped by his successor, Eddie Teare, due to worries about GP costs. However, Mr Teare continued to work with Michael Commissioners to try and establish a medical centre in the village, as a branch surgery staffed by Peel and Ramsey doctors.
During today's debate, political member of the Department of Health Dudley Butt MLC made it clear that if the proposed health centre in Jurby was built, the existing 'makeshift' surgery in Kirk Michael would continue.
However, Mr Hamer wasn't convinced that would be practical (second part of audio file):


So interesting to see the huge changes since being here four years ago. Gone are the open fields that were visible form the highway that connects the airport to the city, many new high rise buildings with many more under construction.
We decided to visit the huge Sunday Market where there are hundreds of booths and thousands of people from many countries and walks of life. While Liz did research about some new design styles and made some new friends, Mark watched an endless stream of people walk past my sidewalk cafe table. The music was loud and heavy with a bass beat. As Chinese, Germans, Japanese, Americans, Thai – single people, couples, oblivious groups strolling past my table made it easy to people watch. The beer was cold and refreshing in the hot Bangkok air, watching the different expressions on peoples faces: smiling, frowning, curious, scowling was quite amusing. Some people even stopped to dance to the music and seemed to be truly enjoying themselves.
The cafe chef was festively cooking a large pan of rice, shrimp, chunks of chicken, spices and peppers. Marks waiter/waitress was what they call a girl boy here, getting weirder by the moment. Bangkok – is a melting pot of the diverse. Beautiful ancient structures, alongside aromatic seafood and produce markets, alongside massive traffic jams, smelly buses, daytime prostitution, abject poverty and modern high rises. Mark takes all of this in as he watches the crowds and then turns to see the chef dancing with the waiter. What a world we live in, so great to be able to share our experiences with you.
Do you feel like you could be sitting there with Mark? He certainly paints a vivid picture of his day. Stay tuned for more stories from Mark and Liz's trip to South East Asia.

As of December 3rd 2014 the former CEPS/INSTEAD has turned into LISER (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research).
LISER is a Luxembourgish public research institute under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Its research focus lies in the field of social and economic policy including the spatial dimension. This comprises topics like poverty, inequality, education, social inclusion, employment, unemployment, health, housing, mobility, and regional convergence. The aim is to improve the understanding of causal relationships and to provide sound evidence for the impact of institutional settings and policy options on outcomes. Based on empirical evidence, the Institute wants to provide well-grounded and clear-cut answers to policy relevant questions. The results are published in form of research reports, monographs and scientific articles.
The research activities of the Institute are carried out by three research departments labelled "Labor Market", "Living Conditions", and "Urban Development and Mobility". In addition, the survey and data center team is in charge of data collection through face-to-face and online surveys, research in survey methodology and survey statistics, as well as creation and management of databases in social sciences.
The Institute employs 138 people, of whom 72 are researchers and PhD candidates. The research team is representing a high degree of interdisciplinarity and includes demographers, economists, geographers, legal experts, political scientists, psychologists, social scientists, and statisticians.
CEPS/INSTEAD was formally established through the Grand-Ducal regulation of 10 November 1989, and was scientifically, administratively, and financially autonomous.
LISER has been integrated into a unified legal framework for the luxembourgish research institutes based on the law of 3 December 2014. It has an annual budget of approximately 18,5 million euro, of which 60% is allocated by the government, and 40% are coming from project related funding resources. Governmental funding is based on a multiannual performance contract.

America's Good Servant, But God's First?
From Jody Bottum's Commonweal essay:
We are now at the point where, I believe, American Catholics should accept state recognition of same-sex marriage simply because they are Americans.
Let's be careful to observe that he is not saying that American Catholics should accept same-sex marriage per se, only state recognition of it. It's a distinction with a meaningful difference. One may think drug use is immoral, but decline to support the drug war because for whatever prudential reasons, you believe it's not worth fighting. Maybe this is what he means by this remark. I'm trying to be charitable in my interpretation.
But he didn't say quite this. Bottum could have written, "We are now at the point where, I believe, American Catholics should accept state recognition of same-sex marriage, if only because they stand to lose more in this lost cause than they could possible gain." It seems to me that this is what his essay more or less argues. Still, the more I think about it, the more I'm troubled by his unfortunate phrase: "simply because they are Americans." It implies pretty strongly that to continue resisting SSM is unpatriotic.
I do not believe that, but if it is true, then as an orthodox (and Orthodox) Christian, I'll accept the slur without shame, and any sanctions and opprobrium that may come with it. It won't be the first time in history a believer has had to choose between serving the state and serving God. I pray that the choice is never put to me, but if I am ever forced to make that choice, I will always and everywhere choose God, without apology. I am a Christian first, and an American second.
And you? Better get this question straight in your head right now, before you are put to the test. Do you think I'm being alarmist? Read law professor Hadley Arkes' contribution to the 1996 First Things symposium on "the judicial usurpation of politics." The symposium was extremely controversial when it was published 17 years ago, causing some First Things board members to resign in protest over what they considered its intemperance. The gist of the symposium was that the courts had badly overreached to impose an elitist liberal cultural agenda, such that the entire American order was imperiled. Many of the magazine's friends and fellow travelers felt that Father Neuhaus had staked far too radical a position — and it's easy to see how they reached that conclusion.
It's interesting to re-read the essays in light of events on the gay marriage front in the last decade. Here's how Arkes' essay begins:
We were taping, early in May, a program for public television dealing with "same-sex marriage." Opposite me was a professor of law, openly gay, who had just written a book in favor of gay marriage. The question before us was whether the states would be obliged to honor the marriage of homosexual couples if the courts in Hawaii delivered to the country that unsolicited gift. After all, the states bore a residual authority to object, on moral grounds, to certain kinds of marriages—as in the case, for example, of incestuous unions. But with the same claims to residual authority, some states in the past had objected on moral grounds to interracial marriages. That ground of objection had been removed from the states as soon as the courts became clear that policies of that kind were in conflict with the deeper principles of the Constitution. The question then was whether the Supreme Court was about to do the same thing in relation to gay marriage with the decision, then pending, in Romer v. Evans: The case was not about gay marriage, but it could undercut the authority of a state to withhold any privilege or franchise from people on account of their homosexuality. When the question was posed, the professor reacted with a blank stare. Of Romer and its implications—and its connection to gay marriage—he professed to know nothing.
No more than a fortnight after the decision was handed down in Romer v. Evans, the same professor was in print, in the New Republic, not only aware of the connection, but quite emphatic now in his opinion: Romer v. Evans would in fact call into question the authority of a state in refusing to honor gay marriages. And indeed, as he suggested, it would call into question the power of the Congress to act now, with the Defense of Marriage Act, in seeking merely to preserve, for the states, their freedom to refuse.
That Romer should have any bearing of this kind on the law of marriage is still barely understood even by people who make their living by following public affairs. That the decision could have vast, unsettling effects on our law—that it could be used as a powerful lever in changing the professions, the universities, and the cast of our private lives—is well beyond the imagining of a public that does not spend its days absorbed in the life of the courts. And of course the media have taken care to shelter the public from any account in these matters that may be too precise or jolting for the public to hear.
There should be, by now, nothing startling in this pattern, for it has marked the ways of our courts and our politics over the past thirty years. The judges form a virtual concert to advance the interests of gay rights and other parts of the liberal agenda, and those who would resist these initiatives, even with the most modest measures, are branded as the aggressors and the zealots. Whether the issue has been abortion, or euthanasia, or "gay rights," the courts have taken steps that were noticeable even at the time as novel and portentous. But these moves seemed to have struck no chord, no moral or religious nerve, running through the broad public. All of which must make us wonder whether we are indeed in post-Christian or post-religious America. But if these events have not set off alarms, it is even less likely that people would be sensitive to that subtler shift of power that runs to the root of the American regime itself: In one issue after another touching the moral ground of our common life, the power to legislate has been withdrawn from the people themselves, or the "consent of the governed," and transferred by the judges to their own hands. And on this point, there has been no example more striking than the recent run of cases on "gay rights."
For my own part, I would credit the avowals made by gay spokesmen like Barney Frank and Andrew Sullivan that they do not have the remotest interest in promoting polygamy, or in weakening the laws that sustain families. But their argument runs beyond their intentions. The arguments for gay marriage must in fact put into place the premises that make it untenable for the law to hold back from the acceptance of polygamy. And one thing may be attributed to the gay activists quite accurately and fairly: they have the most profound interest, rooted in the logic of their doctrine, in discrediting the notion that marriage finds its defining ground in nature. For that reason, we can count on the fact that there will be someone, somewhere, ready to press this issue by raising a challenge in the court and testing the limits even further.
In a widely noticed essay in 1991 the lawyer-activist Nan Hunter argued, with an unsettling directness, that "the impact of [gay and lesbian marriage] will be to dismantle the legal structure of gender in every marriage." For this arrangement, she said, has "the potential to expose and denaturalize the historical construction of gender at the heart of marriage." For several years, Ms. Hunter was the director of the AIDS Project and the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project for the American Civil Liberties Union. With these credentials, and these published sentiments, she was eminently suited to her appointment, in 1993, as the "deputy general counsel/legal counsel" in the Department of Health and Human Services under the Clinton Administration. She is, in other words, one of the most highly placed lawyers within the government likely to be consulted for an official judgment on matters relating to "the family." And she is in a position, of course, to stoke the engines of litigation.
For what drives the litigation for gay rights is the need to have the gay life recognized and confirmed in principle in every setting in which the issue may arise. Gay activists seem to understand that their interests will not be secured as long as there persists in the public a residual moral sense that there is something about homosexuality that is not quite right. Hence, the need to seek more and more occasions for inducing the public first to tolerate, and then, in small steps, to endorse or approve. And now, with Romer v. Evans, the Court has handed the activists a powerful new device for advancing the movement ever further.
The reach of this device becomes ever clearer when we recall that the Court was not faced, in Romer, with an attempt to stir up prosecutions or withdraw the protections of the law from gays and lesbians. Colorado had already repealed its laws on sodomy. With Amendment 2, the people of Colorado had decided simply to withhold endorsement or favoritism: The coercions of the law would not be used to punish those people who bore moral objections to homosexuality. And yet, this perspective, reflected in the law, was characterized by the Court now as an "animus," a form of blind prejudice that could not justify itself in the name of any rational purpose. As Scalia noted, his colleagues were now "disparaging as bigotry adherence to traditional attitudes," rooted in religious teaching. In a stroke then—and without the need to marshal any reasons—the Court could pronounce the traditional moral teaching of Judaism and Christianity as empty, irrational, unjustified.
We find ourselves asking, then, in a blend of wonderment and outrage: What would it take in this country—what would have to happen?—before serious Christians and Jews would recognize, at once, that a critical line has been crossed? It is one thing to say, as the courts already have, that the moral precepts of Christianity and Judaism may not supply the premises of the law in a secular state. It is quite another to say that people who take those precepts seriously may be enduring targets of litigation and legal sanction if they have the temerity to voice those precepts as their own and make them the ground of their acts even in their private settings.
Perhaps Rousseau, with an edge of madness, had it right: that all of this simply came along with the ethic of modernity, as it was spread through the diffusion of the sciences and the arts. "We have all become doctors, and we have ceased being Christians." Whatever the cause, it should be plain now that something in the religious sensibility has been deadened. My friend Russell Hittinger argues, with increasing persuasiveness, that the courts are making the political regime unlivable for serious Christians and Jews. To sound that alarm is to offer the call to political alertness. But the alarm cannot register, it cannot be felt, among people who have not been affected yet by the sense, as Christians and Jews, that there is anything taking place that is especially worth noticing.
He wrote all this in 1996. Think about that. Since then, on same-sex marriage, the culture has profoundly shifted, to where in many places, what was once judicially imposed is now democratically supported. The courts are making it harder and harder for serious Christians and Jews. In that same symposium, Prof. Russell Hittinger wrote:
There is a real possibility that the moral and religious motivations of some citizens will become not only actionable at public law, through constitutional suits challenging legislation informed by such motives, but also actionable at private law. Unless the elected representatives of the people can compel the Court to refrain from invalidating political activity merely on the basis of the citizens' moral or religious motivation, the task of reform is blocked. Should that continue, the option remaining to right reason is the one traditionally used against despotic rule: civil disobedience.
I remember reading that at the time, thinking it was an extreme conclusion to draw. I don't think that anymore. We have now had three Supreme Court decisions — Romer (1996), Lawrence (2003), and Windsor (2013) — in which the Court has declared, each time with increasing force, that the only reason for laws disfavoring gays and lesbians is irrational hatred. It's time put Arkes' question again to small-o orthodox Christians and Jews: What would it take in this country—what would have to happen?—before serious Christians and Jews would recognize, at once, that a critical line has been crossed?
UPDATE: As ever, I welcome critical commentary, but if you are moved to respond by writing a bitchy tirade, save your time and your efforts, because I'm not going to publish it.
UPDATE.2: And, to avoid having the same argument we've had a million times in other threads, I'm not going to post responses that stray from the topic of this post: religious freedom in the emerging order, and how traditionalist Christians should think about what patriotism means in an America that is turning hostile to them. It's an interesting question, because so many conservative Christians have thought, wrongly or rightly, for many years that being a "good Christian" and being a "good American" were one and the same. The emerging order is forcing them, or should force them, to rethink all this. If you want to make a general comment about SSM, save your breath.

Explore It
Throughout 'It,' Stephen King made sure to enrich each feeling, thought, action, expression, and dialogue with quotes.
Some of the quotes tap into major themes of 'It,' bringing out expressions that directly convene the characters' mode of action and thought. One may also notice the epistolary form of writing Stephen Kings adopts in 'It.'
It's as if I have fallen into a story, and everyone knows you're not supposed to feel this afraid until the end of the story, when the haunter of the dark finally comes out of the woodwork to feed… on you, of course.
The line is a statement made by Mike Hanlon, who had discovered that the one thing he dreaded, the monster of his childhood, had woken up from its slumber, unleashing its head of terror. From the line, Mike says his fear is like being in a trance-like state where your momentary fear is nothing compared to what lies in store for you. On discovering 'It' was back, Mike decided to make the decision he had always dreaded. He decided to call the losers club to fulfill the blood promise they had made to return should It awaken.
If you took a casual glance at me, you might think he's been reading too many books, but that's all. I doubt you'd guess how hard the man with the mild bank teller's face is now struggling just to hold on, to hold on to his own mind…
Here, Mike's greatest fear wasn't about having to face It, his greatest fear was picking up the phone and calling his friends back. He knew his call would break some of them, leading them to take their own life. Hence Mike gets scared, scared for his friends' well-being.
It was full of monsters, she said, full of monsters chasing after little children. There were killings and… I don't know… bad feelings and hurt. stuff like that.
Here, Patricia Uris, Stan's wife, expresses her fear for the books written by Bill. Though she was clueless, there were certain truths in the pages of his books. She felt Bill went a little too far in expressing his horror books as they feature little children at the center of killings and terrible tragedies.
Maybe all of that is finally past me, I am not that girl of eighteen anymore, I am a woman of thirty-six; the girl who heard the endless click and grate of those driveway stones, the girl who twisted away from Mike Rosenblatt's hand when he tried to comfort her because it was a Jewish hand, was half a life ago. That silly little mermaid is dead. I can forget her now and just be myself.
The statement above is a thought from Patricia Uris, Stan's wife. Her thought showed her transcendence from childhood into adulthood. She brags to herself about how much she had matured from eighteen to thirty-six years. 'It' is a book that focuses on the loss of childhood innocence, not only for the members of the Losers club but for others as well.
I doubt if any kid who hadn't been through the things we went through ever did, he said. But I said them… and I meant them.
Here Bill and Ben reminisced on the events that had happened to them as children and how those events had affected them while growing up. Though each of the losers club members had a great life, they could never forget the horror of their childhood, and that horror stuck with them even as they matured into adults.
If this is the stuff adults have to think about, I never want to grow up.
Here Bill makes this statement to show his fear of not wanting to mature out of our childhood. Bill felt guilty as he thought he was using his friends to settle the score between him and his brother's murderer. His resolve for revenge, he thought, was a selfish and unnecessary desire since his brother was already dead, this made him scared of himself and the adult thoughts he felt he was having.
Eddie discovered one of his childhood's great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought.
This quote shows one of the realizations Eddie made after growing up. Eddie realized that childhood is peaceful, and they were better off as children than adults. He realized that on growing up, one turns into the things they hate the most.
Maybe there aren't any such things such as good friends or bad friends – maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always being worth scared for and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.
This quote resonates with the true ideology of what friendship means. Stephen King's thought on friendship shows that friends aren't good or bad. Friends are people who are there for each other. The losers club exhibited true friendship by being there for each other. The sacrifice made by Eddie and others injured led them to defeat 'It.'
I'm still Bill Denbrough. You killed my brother, and you killed Stan, the man. You tried to kill Mike. And I am going to tell you something: this time I'm not going to stop until the job's done.
Bill's statement marks the point when Bill's anger and hate towards 'It' converge. Having been tortured by the death of his brother George, and the death of his friend Stan, Bill unleashes his bottled-up emotions as his quest for revenge reaches its end.
Oh, you'll believe… you'll see. This time, Little Buddy, I intend you to see everything, including the deadlights.
A character that sought revenge throughout the entire book was It itself. With rage and anger after being defeated by a bunch of little 11 year-olds, It sets its mind on having the ultimate revenge on the losers club. It's strive for vengeance gave the losers club an upper hand to defeat it.
What is Pennywise's catch-phrase?
"I'll kill you all! Aha, I'll drive you crazy, and I'll kill you all! I'm every nightmare you've ever had. I am your worst dream come true!"
What does Pennywise say at the end of 'It'?
The last thing he says is fear.
Was Pennywise afraid?
Yes, at a certain point Pennywise felt afraid and as Stephen King described, it was a new feeling to him.
What is the best quote in 'It'?
There are many awesome quotes in it, such as:
