I santi Teodoro (circa 775 – circa 842) e Teofane (circa 778 – 845), chiamati i Grapti (dal greco graptoi, "scritto su"), sono ricordati come fautori della venerazione delle icone durante la seconda controversia iconoclasta. Erano fratelli e nativi di Gerusalemme.

Storia congiunta
Teofane si trova citato nella Vita di Michele di Sincello. Teofane e suo fratello Teodoro nacquero in Palestina verso la fine dell'VIII secolo, figli del Venerabile Giona il Presbitero. Entrambi crebbero a Gerusalemme, entrarono insieme nel monastero di Mar Saba vicino a Betlemme e divennero discepoli di San Michele il Sincello (in seguito sincello del Patriarca di Gerusalemme). Nell'813 Michele e i suoi due discepoli lasciarono Gerusalemme per recarsi a Roma. Erano stati inviati dal Patriarca di Gerusalemme a sostenere il Papa nella sua presa di posizione contro i Franchi sulla questione del filioque, che alcuni Benedettini d'Occidente avevano recentemente introdotto a Gerusalemme.

Nel corso del loro viaggio, intorno all'812, sbarcarono a Costantinopoli, entrarono in un monastero, e contro l'imperatore Leone V (813-20) difesero energicamente la venerazione delle immagini. Tuttavia, il II concilio di Nicea aveva condannato l'iconoclastia come un'eresia, quindi furono detenuti, interrogati, picchiati e imprigionati per ordine dell'imperatore Leone V nell'815. Durante tutto il secondo periodo iconoclasta - quasi trent'anni - subirono varie volte esilio, prigionia e torture.

Sotto l'imperatore successivo, Michele II vennero portati nel monastero di Sostene sul Bosforo. Il successore di Michele, il tirannico e iconoclasta Teofilo li esiliò di nuovo, ma li richiamò nel 836 nella capitale, facendoli flagellare più volte e creando dodici linee di taglio sulla loro pelle (da qui il soprannome "scritto su "). Teofilo li batté con la sua mano e ordinò che fossero marchiati sul volto con dodici linee. Il calvario durò due giorni.

Furono gettati in prigione nella città di Apamea in Bitinia, dove Teodoro morì in prigione per le sue ferite nell'841. Michele e Teofane sopravvissero per vedere l'Ortodossia trionfare sull'Iconoclastia nell'842 durante il regno dell'imperatrice Teodora. Michele fu nominato abate del Monastero di Chora, dove morì, appena due mesi dopo Teofane, nel gennaio 846.

I fratelli sono venerati come santi. Nella Chiesa ortodossa orientale la festa di Teofane si celebra l'11 ottobre e quella di Teodoro il 27 dicembre. Nella Chiesa romana il 27 dicembre si celebra la festa di entrambi.

Teofane il marchiato
Teofane il Marchiato chiamato anche Teofane Graptus o Teofane di Nicea (775-845) è stato un monaco bizantino e innografo. Accanto a Giuseppe l'Innografo, fu il principale contributore al libro liturgico ortodosso chiamato Parakletike. Teofane fu consacrato metropolita di Nicea dal patriarca Metodio I nell'842 e lo rimase fino alla sua morte nell'845.

Opere
Teofane scrisse un gran numero di poesie religiose, tra cui una sul fratello morto..

Come innografo, Teofane appartiene alla tradizione della Laura di Mar Saba, che include molti dei più grandi scrittori di canoni, tra cui Sant'Andrea di Creta, San Kosma di Maïouma e San Giovanni Damasceno.

Il suo contributo al Parakletike consiste in serie di canoni in tutti gli otto toni per gli angeli e i defunti. A volte si dice anche che ne abbia scritto una serie per gli Apostoli, ma quelli nei toni 7 e 8 sono attribuiti a Giuseppe nel Paraklitiki, che nel tono 7 sono "firmati" acrosticamente nella nona Ode. Non tutti questi sono 'firmati' nell'acrostico, ma quello per gli angeli in tono 1 ha come acrostico quanto segue, "Il primo inno di Teofane per gli angeli", mentre quello per i defunti in tono 5 ha, "Il quinto canone di Teofane per i morti". Sfortunatamente nessuno di questi testi è stato modificato criticamente e i libri di servizio stampati spesso differiscono ampiamente nelle loro attribuzioni.

Ariel Winter Learned the Hard Way About Using the BTS Hashtag on Twitter
Ariel Winter had to learn a very important lesson about hashtags by making an innocent fandom mistake on Twitter this week. BTS fans, of course, are watching #BTS very closely for the latest news about the K-pop group — so Ariel really threw off the ARMY with one of her latest tweets.
The sitcom actor wanted to gives fans a heads up about her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show so she posted pictures of herself backstage of the show on Twitter. She captioned the pictures with "#BTS of filming @TheEllenShow today ." But though she meant "behind the scenes" it didn't take long for people to remind her about another meaning for #BTS.
Fans began giving her tips about the popular hashtag for the future. One person replied, "Hey, you may want to type out Behind the Scenes. The tag above links directly to BTS the KPop group…" Another fan tweeted a funny prediction with, "Army's coming in 3… 2… 1…"
The tweets must have helped because Ariel followed up her first tweet with, "I meant behind the scenes not BTS the group Hahahaha ." Fans were pretty understanding about the confusion. One replied, "It's ok, for the longest time I thought BTS were "between takes" lol."
It's unknown whether Ariel is a fan of BTS but if not, maybe she'll try out their music now. It seems like a match made in heaven given the young actor is often promoting self-love on social media.

August Wilson, the Catholic | Plenty Good News
By Nate Tinner-Williams
August Wilson the late great African-American playwright best known for his 1987 masterpiece "Fences," has long been a revered figure of the American arts scene. Among his many accomplishments, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama—twice—and, in his afterlife, has had two of his plays adapted into Academy Award-winning films.
His plays, in book form, are read in classrooms across the nation and regarded as American classics despite their relatively recent introduction to the world. Wilson was, in a word, a force.
Sunday, October 2, marked the 17th anniversary of his death, which occasions a moment to remember that, underneath all of his accolades and fanfare, Wilson was also baptized a Catholic.
More popularly known as a critic of Christianity—or at the very least artistically agnostic, refusing to associate many of his unapologetically Black main characters with a strong attachment to the Black Church—Wilson indeed had a complicated relationship with religion.
Born Frederick August Kittel Jr., his background as a mixed-race man raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania does not in itself suggest anything about his faith, but the record is clear that his mother, Daisy Wilson, more or less raised the children to be Catholics despite her own tenuous practice.
Wilson would attend Catholic schools throughout his childhood, including Holy Trinity near his family home, St. Richard, and Epiphany. He also attended Central Catholic High School, before dropping out after a little over a year. (He said he was the only Black student.)
"August served as an altar boy at Holy Trinity," noted one childhood friend in a 2005 obituary for Wilson in Pittsburgh Catholic, one of the few outlets to ever mention in detail his religious upbringing.
Wilson was also known to have attended Mass at St Bridget Catholic Church, a predominantly White congregation. The church was eventually merged with St Benedict the Moor, the Black parish near Wilson's home in the Hill District.
Whatever religious influences he may have discarded upon reaching early adulthood, perhaps Catholic education was one that remained, as he educated himself while working odd jobs and making regular trips to the library to read the great Black luminaries.
By the late 1960s, Kittel had become August Wilson, married a Muslim, and allegedly converted to the Nation of Islam—as many a Black man did in his day. It would be the first of three marriages, the last enduring until his death. As for wedding himself to a new religion, some sources say Wilson never officially converted but maintained strong ties to the NOI throughout his life.
Ironically, Pittsburgh would play a significant role in the burgeoning Black Catholic Movement around the same time, including the founding of the National Black Sisters' Conference in the city in 1968—the same year Bishop John Wright dedicated a monument to St. Benedict the Moor atop his namesake parish. The diocese received its first Black priest soon thereafter.
Severed in some ways from these developments, Wilson turned to Black Power in his own way, and this would characterize much of his thought for the rest of his life. His co-founding of the Black Horizon Theater in the Hill, was like the Free Breakfast Program but for thespians, offering pro-Black propaganda in the form of plays directed by Wilson and others.
Like many Black nationalist projects, the theater did not last and Wilson soon relocated to Saint Paul, Minnesota—an aptly-named town for its new apostle of the arts. Divorced from his first wife due to "religious differences," Wilson continued to work in theater and write his most popular plays, ironically termed "The Pittsburgh Cycle." Among these were "Fences," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," "Jitney" (a reworking of an earlier Horizon work), and "The Piano Lesson."
After winning the Pulitzer for "Fences" in 1985—a first for a Minnesotan—Saint Paul's mayor declared May 27 "August Wilson Day" two years later, though Wilson would not stay long in the city, leaving for Seattle at the turn of the decade.
He also made visits back home to Pittsburgh during the 1980s, including to St Benedict the Moor School, where he encouraged the children to persevere in their giftings and thanked his former teacher, a nun, for supporting his writing endeavors. It was at St Benedict's that his short-lived children's essay contest was birthed and based.
Wilson's theatrical output was less notable in his later life, though he wrote five more plays between his arrival to Seattle in 1990 and 2005, when his final play "Radio Golf" opened at Yale. That same year, Wilson announced his diagnosis of late-stage liver cancer. He died that October at the age of 60.
Though Pittsburgh Catholic did not mention it in their obituary, Wilson had requested that his funeral be held at St Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh, according to a friend in the NOI.
"A Black funeral," to be exact.
The requested funeral did not take place, as Wilson had also requested not to have "no Catholic Mass"—though by this one could safely assume he meant that he did not want Eurocentric ideals to guide his final rites. To the end, he was a staunch advocate for Black cultural self-sufficiency.
The funeral he did receive, held at the University of Pittsburgh, featured a Second Line parade led by the Roman-baptized Wynton Marsalis to the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In"—a venerable burial tradition among Black Catholics in Marsalis' native New Orleans and elsewhere.
Recognized in the Church or not, Wilson lives on. Last year marked the debut of his Forever Stamp from the United States Postal Service, and the Catholic-educated Denzel Washington has committed to continue producing film versions of Wilson's Cycle, following the successes of "Fences" and "Ma Rainey."
Washington likewise lent his support to the opening of Pittsburgh's August Wilson House—listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013—as an arts center this summer. The project, which began in earnest following the playwright's death, held its grand opening on August 13 with Wilson's widow Constanza Romero in tow.
A permanent exhibit on his life at the August Wilson Center for African-American Culture also opened this year, while the August Wilson Archive at Pitt is currently under development while his papers are being processed.
And lest one think monuments to his greatness live on solely in Pennsylvania, the August Wilson Theatre in New York City is one of three (and the first of the) Broadway theaters to be named after an African-American, having been so fashioned in 2005. The other two were announced just this year, namely the James Earl Jones Theater, formerly the Cort until last month, and another to be named after Lena Horne later this year.
It seems safe to say that one thing all three have in common is their Catholic faith.

France approves MMP 5th generation missile for semi-desert operations
The MBDA-developed MMP 5th generation land combat missile system has passed an assessment carried out by French Armed Forces and has been declared suitable for use in semi-desert conditions.
In Djibouti, nine firings were achieved with all the missiles reaching their target. Credit: © MBDA.
The French Army Technical Service (STAT) and the French Direction Générale de l'Armement (DGA) completed the evaluation of the missile system in a month-long exercise from 25 August to 22 September in Djibouti with the support of manufacturer MBDA.
As part of the evaluation campaign, nine firings were carried out with all the missiles hitting their target.
The evaluation results validated the reliability of the weapon system in a hot environment. In addition, the successful programme showcased that the missile system can deliver dependable performance in operational firing scenarios.

"Training by French Forces in Djibouti was intended to resemble the current zones of engagement in the Sahel-Saharan belt in terms of climatic conditions."
This included firing from the sea targeting a land-based target, as well as a target at sea.
MMP becomes the first weapon system of this class of performance to have been successfully implemented on ECUME.
The results pave the way for deployment of the MMP weapon system as part of Operation Barkhane in the coming weeks.
Designed for dismounted infantry, as well as for integration on combat vehicles, the MMP 5th generation land combat missile system can hit targets located more than 4,000m away in all conditions.
In December, the French DGA procured 50 missiles and 20 firing posts from the MMP land combat missile system to be deployed with the nation's armed forces.

When most of the members of the Justice League are also starring in their own books it creates a bit of a narrative bottleneck. If the current version of the League isn't one of the huge arcs by a superstar writer, the stories of the League take a backseat to the stories told in the books of the individual characters. The solution tends to be to populate the League with less popular characters, or even completely original ones. During the late 80's, this meant a series of international teams like Justice League Europe. Some of the international characters designed for those teams were actually a lot of fun, despite being sort of limited in utility.
Rocket Red is just a fun, simple idea; it's cool to see how some of the other countries in the DC landscape aproach their Superhuman population, and the idea the Russia had a state-sponsored army of robot-suited patriots just feels inherently correct. While there's been quite a few different Rocket Red's that have interacted with the rest of the DC Universe Dmitri is probably the most universally recognized... and it's basically a no-brainer to take that character and make him part of our Global Guardians.

Ricci di Mare. Thank you, San Diego.
I am always so incredibly impressed with the local seafood in Southern California. This sea urchin ("ricci di mare") was sourced off the cliffs of La Jolla, just minutes from where we scooped it out of the shell with warm garlic-rubbed toast. Thanks to Baci Ristorante in San Diego, and to Brittany Carlisi of the Henry Wine Group for taking us there to enjoy this heavenly treat.
And what could be better with such a richly luxurious lunch than a glass of Cuvee Prestige from Ca' del Bosco? Cold, crisp bubbles bolstered by singing acidity and fresh, green apple fruit… Truly the perfect pairing!
Italians Love Sushi. And Champagne.
Vincenti Ristorante: In a word, swoon-worthy.
I have been tempted to try this at the Little Italy farmer's market….is it good? What restaurant were you at?
For some reason I thought you were a Seattle blogger. Yes, if you are in SoCal, I would love to meet up….and learn about wine lol! Will you be at Blogher Food?
It is the food blogging conference taking place next week in Seattle.


Home » Business » Trading Of Shares On The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Using Mobile Phones Is Almost Here, Are The Listed Companies Ready?
This morning we were gonna witness the launch of C-Trade, an online and mobile trading platform for Zimbabwe's capital markets. Unfortunately, the launch has been postponed yet again. I am disappointed because the postponement was because the Guest of Honour is not available. Zimbabweans have a fascination with big launches, I am more for rolling things out mabiko tinozoita time time (then banquet later).
Anyway, that's not my focus today. I am excited about the ability to remotely trade on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) primarily. I once shared my first experiences trading there- it was all very manual and involved travelling to my broker's office every time I needed to buy or sell a counter. The Securities Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (the regulator of the capital markets) have shown sincerity in making participation in these markets mainstream. Kudos.
Yesterday a colleague of mine was sharing with me how she can't wait to start trading on the ZSE for the first time as soon as the mobile trading platform goes live. I was taken aback: how will she make her decision which counters to buy? Back when I started my experimentation with the markets there was not much information available. My friends and I relied on newspapers and what the broker said.
All listed companies have websites?
Surprisingly no. 10% of listed companies on the ZSE do not have corporate websites. 90% is great but to be honest there is no excuse for the 10% that have no digital real estate. For comparison, 5% of listed companies on the Lusaka Stock Exchange have no websites.
Having a website is obviously not enough for investor relations if the websites do not have an investor relations (IR) section. 56% of companies on the local exchange have this essential section on their website. Interestingly 48% of the companies that have the IR section are clients to Big Law Management Consultants (the sponsors of this article who do investor relations for listed companies).
Comparatively Zimbabwe is doing much better than its neighbors. Of the four companies that we compared, Botswana has the least percentage of listed companies that have an IR section on their website, only 6%. Malawi has 33% and Zambia has 42%.
The annual report that listed companies are mandated to produce is the primary source of information for an investor. It's good to know that as at 31 March 2018 70% of the ZSE listed companies had the latest annual report available on their websites and 59% had the past three annual reports available.
36% of the companies have their share price displayed on their website. Interestingly again, 79% of those that do are clients of Big Law Management Consultants. Only 23% of the companies have their share chart available on the website. 92% of these are Big Law customers.
On this score again Zimbabwean listed companies are doing much better than their counterparts in the region.
How about social media and email?
10% of the companies on the ZSE have no social media presence completely. Yes no Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, nothing. The most popular platform with the ZSE companies is Facebook which 87% of them have an active account. 54% of the companies have Linkedin and 41% are on Twitter. A surprisingly low number: 11% have email alerts for investor type information.
By proportion, Zmbian listed companies are way more present on social media than Zimbabwean ones. Only 3% of the Lusaka Stock Exchange listed companies have no social media accounts whatsoever. 89% of them are on Facebook, 87% on Linkedin and 85% on Twitter. Again surprisingly, only 10% send out email alerts.
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe has a dedicated investor relations website http://www.ewzinvestor.com. The site is a full portal with a lot of helpful information and resources for investors and potential investors. This is commendable.
As trading on capital markets becomes more mainstream it's important that listed companies fulfill the spirit of their obligation to inform their public investors. Besides this being the right thing to do it is also beneficial to them to be always engaging with their retail investors because these individuals are very good potential customers. Who would be easier to sell to than a person who is already invested in your business?
The Zimbabwe is open for business mantra continues to be sounded. Capital markets are the obvious places where external investors look at to assess the possibility of earning a return on their investment in Zimbabwe. The listed companies themselves must put their best foot forward and make it easy for investors to evaluate them.
More importantly, the new local investors who will come encouraged by C Trade are gonna need access to information. An uninformed investor is an emotional investor and an emotional investor introduces too much fluctuation in how counters trade. Good investor relations and accessibility of information is a win-win-win for everyone.

10 Stupid Things Americans Do Overseas
6/21/2019 — By Jamie Beckman
Ocusfocus/Dreamstime
Selfie sticks: sometimes OK...sometimes a disaster waiting to happen.
Have you been guilty of a foreign-soil faux pas? Our easy guide to being a good citizen of the world will come in handy next time you get your passport stamped.
Don't get us wrong: We're darn proud to be Americans, and we don't mind saying so—whether we're here at our New York City headquarters or standing on foreign soil. But unfortunately, we've all seen the embarrassing U.S. traveler abroad: The idiot wearing the "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt while visiting a museum of tolerance, the big shot flashing a wallet full of euros on the Paris metro, or the family that insists on chowing down on American fast food in Rome. How not to be the ugly American? Well, here are the 10 stupidest things Americans do while overseas:
1. DRESSING—AND ACTING—LIKE A TOURIST
Traveling is one time when it's actually cool to be a poseur. Try your best to fit in with a country's style of dress and customs by ditching the fanny packs, visors, dark socks with sandals, and Hawaiian shirts—and not using your outdoor voice. "The golden rule of travel is that blending in and conformity are a form of flattery," says Lisa Grotts, author of A Traveler's Passport to Etiquette. "Most countries will not expect you to be an expert on the nuances of their culture, but they will appreciate a show of interest in matters of importance to them." Taking your usual gregarious behavior down a notch is a good idea too. "People of other nationalities are more reserved than we are, so it's important not to come across as the ugly American: overbearing, overly familiar, loud," Grotts says.
2. FLASHING MONEY AROUND
Peeling bills off of wads of cash won't endear you to the locals—nor does it curry much favor here in the U.S.—but showing the contents of your wallet and taking copious amounts of money out of foreign ATMs in full view of everyone will make you popular with pickpockets. The cash machine itself could be a thief in disguise too. "Look closely at an ATM before using it, as criminals have been known to place 'skimmers' on the machines, especially in areas frequented by tourists," says Elizabeth Finan, spokesperson for the Bureau of Consular Affairs at the State Department.
3. ASSUMING EVERYONE'S THERE TO WAIT ON THEM
Just like money doesn't buy taste or love, having vacation savings to burn doesn't guarantee the royal treatment everywhere you go. There are two keys to not being an American jerk: "Being a little bit patient and not assuming that everybody here is here to clamor over your tourist dollars is important," says Anna Post, co-author of Emily Post's Etiquette 18th Edition. Back in 1922, Emily herself wrote a book chapter titled "Europe's Unflattering Opinion of Us." Unfortunately, very little has changed. "For years, we Americans have swarmed over the face of the world, taking it for granted that the earth's surface belongs to us because we can pay for it," she wrote. Try to buck those stereotypes.
4. ORDERING AMERICAN FOOD ABROAD
Don't be that person who orders French fries in the middle of Italy. "The absolute worst thing you can do is to ignore the local food in favor of what's familiar to you: always seeking out the American-style burgers and pizza and Caesar salads on a menu or, worse, eating at fast-food or chain restaurants you know from home," says Laura Siciliano-Rosen, founder of Eat Your World, a website featuring local eats around the globe. Not sampling exotic food means you'll miss a large chunk of the area's culture that will enrich your travel experience. That said, everyone has heard at least one horror story about getting food poisoning abroad. "Wash your hands a lot and be smart about the basic things—avoid tap water and ice and unpeeled fruits and vegetables—and you can eat plenty of local food," Siciliano-Rosen says.
5. NOT BOTHERING TO LEARN BASIC FOREIGN PHRASES
English is indeed widely spoken all over the world, but not making any effort will just make everyone hate you. "If at all possible, at least say a greeting in the other person's language, and then say, 'Do you speak English?' right after that," says Post. "One thing that I've been told grates is to just start speaking English in a foreign county. Yes, it's likely that a lot of people, especially in touristy spots, will speak English, but the presumption that they do is really obnoxious." No need to bust out an entire language dictionary either. "If nothing else, learn how to say hello, thank you, and please," Post says.
6. BRINGING BACK SOUVENIRS THEY THINK THEY ARE ENTITLED TO
Not so fast hauling that vase out of the country and into your foyer. Absconding with a piece of a country's history—whether you knew it was authentic or not—isn't smiled upon. "Some countries, like Turkey, Egypt, and Mexico, have strict laws on antiques," Finan says. "If you purchase a souvenir that authorities believe is a national treasure, you may be arrested. In countries with strict control of antiques, document your purchases as reproductions if that is the case."
7. NEGLECTING TO RESEARCH A COUNTRY'S CUSTOMS
Accidentally making a jerk move abroad usually means you haven't studied what that country's jerk moves are. Post says there are six major areas to educate yourself about before you go to a new locale: greetings, gift giving, exchanges of money (whether to put money in someone's hand or on the table), handshakes, body language, and food. Food etiquette has many facets, Post says, "whether it's the eating of the food, the not eating of the food, complimenting the food, trying the food... In some places, a compliment may mean you want more."
8. RELYING ON CREDIT CARDS FOR PURCHASES
Carrying zero cash and using your debit card to pay for a bottle of water is growing more and more common in the U.S., but when you're abroad, you can't count on plastic. "Credit cards are not widely accepted in some countries," Finan says. "Although it is a good idea to bring a credit card or two, leave all unnecessary credit cards at home." If you run out of cash, the U.S. Embassy can help you with everything from contacting friends and family on your behalf for wire transfers or giving you a loan to get back to the States.
9. PACKING SOMETHING DUMB
Other countries' security can make going through airport security in the States look lax. Abroad, if you bring over an item that so much as looks dangerous, you might find yourself on the wrong side of the law. "A foreign country's laws can be different from laws in the United States," Finan says. "For example, some countries have strict laws on weapons—in some cases, possessing something as small as a pocketknife or a single bullet can get you into legal trouble." Clean out your suitcase before you start packing.
10. FORGETTING THEY ARE REPRESENTING THE REST OF US
You can't cancel out the bad behavior of every American doofus traveling abroad, but you can make a difference by being a positive example of a U.S. citizen. "Americans in general have a pretty bad reputation to try to live down," Post says. "Any time you can go the extra effort to use every courtesy that's available to you to show appreciation—like for the time that someone gives you in a shop—even if they don't return it right there, I think that that is part of what it means to be an ambassador for your country when you travel."

Holding Russia to account for its atrocities in Ukraine
Evidence is mounting that, as part of Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia's forces have targeted civilians and unlawfully deported citizens of Ukraine from their own country.
Targeting civilians and the unlawful deportation of civilians are war crimes.
"The aggression against Ukraine is a manifest violation of the UN Charter," Beth Van Schaack, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for Global Criminal Justice, said November 21.
Van Schaack pointed to reports of civilians being killed execution-style, with their hands bound, and "horrific accounts of gender-based violence," including sexual violence against women and children.
Ukraine's Office of the Prosecutor General has identified thousands of incidents that may constitute war crimes, she said.
Witnesses and survivors in Bucha, Ozera, Babyntsi and Zdvyzhivka told The Associated Press and the Public Broadcasting Service's Frontline documentary series that Russia's soldiers tortured and killed people on the slightest suspicion they might be helping Ukraine's military.

Russia's apparent breaches of international law include the construction of a vast transnational infrastructure of filtration operations. Up to 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens have been forcibly transferred to parts of Ukraine that are controlled or occupied by Russia or deported to Russia itself through these operations.
Ukrainian citizens subjected to filtration are interrogated. They then suffer one of three fates: be permitted to remain in Russia-controlled areas of Ukraine, be deported to Russia or remain in detention, according to Van Schaack.
She noted Conflict Observatory findings using satellite imagery that suggest mass graves in the vicinity of one of the filtration sites. Credible reports also indicate thousands of Ukraine's children have been abducted and then adopted by families within Russia.
"Russia's deplorable tactic of forcible transfer and deportation is a war crime," said Agnès Callamard, secretary general of Amnesty International.
International probes
Prosecutors from Ukraine and around the world are determined to bring the perpetrators of such acts to justice.
Van Schaack said the United States supports international efforts to investigate and examine atrocities in Ukraine, which include:
The International Criminal Court's ongoing investigation.
A U.N. Commission of Inquiry focusing on violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law.
An investigative team through the Eurojust network.
These entities and prosecutors share information and strategies, Van Schaack said.
The U.S. initiated the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group, in which the U.S. partners with the EU and the U.K. to provide expert assistance to Ukraine on the investigation and prosecution of atrocity crimes.
"The prosecution of war crimes in Ukraine is one of the most vital international justice challenges of our time," said Georgetown Law Dean William M. Treanor.

Eli Rosenbaum was appointed to lead the U.S. Justice Department's efforts to investigate war crimes in Ukraine.
Van Schaack noted that attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, torture and executions in Ukraine follow a pattern.
"What we're seeing in these images, videos, and reports, including witness accounts, suggest that these atrocities are not the acts of rogue units or individuals," she said. "Rather, they are part of a deeply disturbing pattern of reports of abuse across all areas where we're seeing Russia's forces engage."

For anyone who uses wood as their primary or secondary source of heat, a steady supply of firewood is essential. The new 3-point log splitter from Woods Equipment makes the log splitting process go smoothly. The log splitter attaches inline to Category 1 and Category 2 tractors, and can be operated in a horizontal or vertical position, to match the user's preference or physical ability. Some operators find it easier to use the splitter in vertical position, to reduce lifting.
The inline design also provides a large operator work area, offering more flexibility when loading split logs. An eight-inch wedge splits the most difficult wood cleanly, including wet, stringy elm. It will accommodate larger logs up to 24.5 in. in length, with a patented, integrated log cradle. The model HLS3 Log Splitter provides 22 tons of maximum splitting force and a 13-second cycle time.
The log splitter beam is manufactured in the USA with high-strength US steel. Highest stress areas are reinforced and the beam has an interlocked footplate for extreme durability.
The HLS3 beam carries a 5-year residential and 3-year commercial warranty. The log splitter offers a 2-year hydraulic component warranty.
Accessories include a 4-way wedge, which increases productivity, a log catcher that helps operators work more easily and efficiently, and hose kit. All accessories are sold separately.
The HLS3 3-point Log Splitter is sold exclusively through authorized Woods dealers. To find your nearest Woods dealer, visit www.woodsequipment.com.

I always get a good chuckle when I get comments and e-mails referring to the idea that I make things look easy, or that I am able to balance so many things. :) Let the record show that my house has been a complete disaster most of this week. And if I am being totally honest, when I focus on a project, something else takes the back burner—laundry, the dishes, the cleanliness of my toothbrush holder. So it's more like I am juggling things, not actually balancing them. I admit I have a bit of a disorder. I cannot NOT have a project. Even if I were to cut the strings on every creative project I have in my queue right now (which actually sounds insanely great on a superficial level), I would soon start to, well, kind of lose it. It's a funny thing, because when I am working too much I start to get a little wackadoo. And I know it's time to slow things down. On days when Wes comes home and takes one look at me with "that" expression, I know I need to scale back. But if I have NO projects going on, I start to, well, kind of lose it. Even when faced with a totally incapacitated computer, I somehow found creative projects that HAD to be done. So there is a part of me that I cannot turn off. I will always be a little stressed (sometimes a LOT stressed) over the amount of work I am doing, and maniacally enjoying it at the same time.
On top of the usual things I'm already doing, my schedule would normally be spent doing entire-family related activities like eating meals together, and going places/hanging out together. Also, since we're on a crazy budget, I am not getting my hair done, or going out to the gym, or to lunch, or to the movies that often. This will resume in the future. But for now I am left with unusual pockets of time in which to start an insane number of personal projects. And Wes isn't really around to complain about it! If I decide I would rather lose my mind at the hand of the blogosphere instead of the laundry basket, he just lets me go with it. He understands when I'm too tired to do the dishes, or vacuum for 8 days. Every once in a while he comes in and says, "Wow, this house really is a disaster." But he's just stating the obvious, not passing judgment (usually it's something I texted him that morning, anyway). And then he goes and does the dishes that are starting to take on a life of their own. After 14 hours at class and on set, working equally as hard as I have been all day. He helps when he can, and he doesn't complain. And sometimes he does nothing around the house because he has personal projects, too. And he affords me the same respect. Sure it means sometimes I'm in my PJs all day. But for all he knows, maybe I JUST put them on before he came home.... heeeheee. We're a wild bunch over here at the Johnson household. Crazy—every last one of us.
#1. I try to do 1 load of laundry a day (thanks to my good friend Mel's advice). That is WASH and DRY one load. I don't fold, or iron, or put away. I throw it in a basket right out of the dryer. Then Sunday evening I sit and fold and iron and watch a movie or two. Which leads me right to #2.
#2. I TAKE SUNDAY OFF. It's the one day I don't work. I go to church, sometimes I take a NAP (sweet bliss), I read, I watch movies. I make dinner. I relax. I call my Mom. And sometimes I do a little laundry (the folding, and ironing part). Yeah, I know it's kind of like doing work. But I sit and watch my favorite girly movies, and actually feel pretty good about domesticity. But really, other than my good friend Lybi (who I greatly admire for doing so), I can't go a single day without doing something around the house (even if it's small) because then the scale would tilt into a deep abyss. And we'd all go with it.
#3. I multi-task like NONE OTHER. I will load the dishwasher while I feed Maya lunch or dinner in her highchair in the kitchen, and sort through the mail. I eat lunch on the couch and check e-mail while watching last night's episode of The Office on Apple TV. Tonight I gave the kids a bath, and gave myself a pedicure at the same time. Try it! Soak your feet in their bubble bath. Then opt for nail polish brands that are quick-drying. I'm now sporting a plum pedicure.
#5. In fact, much of my shopping is delivered. I order diapers from diapers.com (free delivery). If any personal shopping is going on, it's usually online. And Amazon.com has great deals on books in the "new and used" section. They are from sellers other than Amazon, and you can often find brand new books for a fraction of the cost.
#6. I try to pick up every night. Not all-out clean. Just pick up. And Finn is now old enough to help. Threatening to throw away his toys helps jump start things. And I am never above bribery. :) My pick-up secret: Use a small laundry basket while you go around picking everything up, then sort it all once the floor/table/counter is clutter-free. Instant gratification will start to set in. And if you have to, you can stash that laundry basket in your bedroom if someone's coming over eminently.
#8. Clean the house "for reals" once a week. I recently tried the steps on THIS SITE. It seems like common sense, but I'm telling you—it works! It also helps that we have itty bitty living space right now. My cleaning secret: The Steam Shark Mop! OR an iRobot if you're elite.
#9. I try not to beat myself up about things. I use TV as a babysitter so I can take a shower. I don't worry that my kids are going to wither away if they eat mac n cheese or Wendy's some nights. It's hard to orchestrate real mealtimes for 2 kids at different eating stages and myself, and a husband that has a sporadic schedule. There's a lot of eating in stages. I'm OK with that right now. As long as they eat.
#10. I usually hire a sitter once a week for 3 hours (justified by my online work habits). It means I can run errands, or do secret "me" things. This is a recent addition. I live for Tuesday mornings. It makes the rest of the week a little more manageable.
Oh, and I don't sleep.
What are YOUR tips? I would LOVE to know!
POST EDIT: I am happy to report that for a few months now, I have been doing at least one load of laundry every day. Usually one light, one dark. I fold it right out of the dryer. And it means smaller loads, as well. Then I leave it to put away either on Sunday, or when I have a free moment, or the rare inclination to do laundry-ish things (like I said: RARE). I also love the new dryer "bars" that stick to the inside of the dryer (similar to a dryer sheet). My clothes are SO much easier to fold/wrinkle free now that I use that. It's even better than dryer sheets. Bounce makes them. Find them HERE.
Lyndsay - I love this post - the honesty of it! I think I am going to print it out and stick it on my fridge!
That's what is great about blogging - that you stumble across a post that just resonates so much. I too am doing the pseudo single parenting while my husband climbs the corporate ladder. I too work at home alot. He leaves early, back late and all the time in between: it's me. I have my Mum help me alot but basically I am the engine behind everything. If I didn't do it/make it/see it then it wouldn't happen! And that is alot to take in sometimes.
I LOVE this post Lyndsay. I can't wait to have time to click those links. I've never done diapers.com, but may be a convert. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tips and ideas! I NEED them!
Like the two other commenters, I love this post, too.
For years while in high school and college I worked at Bed Bath & Beyond where I learned something called, P.I. -- Process Improvement. You know like, Plan the Work. Work the Plan. Touch things less. It was a way to be more efficient. I use P.I. everyday of my life! I'm constantly planning and making lists.
Like you, I'm always looking for ways to multi-task. I clean the bathroom or pluck my eyebrows while I bathe the girls.
Thank you for this post. It's always nice to feel normal.
P.S. LOVE the word WACKADOO.
I was on the conf call this week with the group and Andrew Bagley. Just wanted to say hi and check out your blog.
And I have feeling we run in some of the same circles. I lived in the LA for the past 10 years and worked in film at Bruckheimer and Universal. But we recently relocated to Austin. Anyway, just wondered what ward you guys were in and is your husband working with an agency or doing his own thing?
Nice to find your site! It's just lovely and inspiring.
I am a working mom and have trouble getting all of my errands done so I can spend the weekend "guilt free" with the children. We love to cook and have family time, garden, bike and explore our city.
So I get my errand done and indulge in "me" time on my lunch hour. I choose to eat something at my desk and then off I go for an hour to my little pieces of heaven: Target or Williams Sonoma or Barnes and Noble or the upscale grocery. A lot of times I have a purpose or a much needed purchas but at the same time, I relax and browse. I'll purchase the upcoming birthday party or spend time looking for the perfect new bath matt.
I can relate! My husband is a surgical resident...need I say more?
This has helped me ENORMOUSLY. I never thought I was the "menu planning type", but I guess anyone can be. It's been 6 months since I started the menu plan, and I love it with all my little heart! I cook, they eat. Try it! :) Good luck!
Exercise! Pilates is my savior b/c it's exercise meets meditation for me. And it's out of the house, b/c I go to a studio at 6am when my husband is home. Even if it's that early, I don't care. It saves me and motivates me - and I get to focus on ME, and only me.
Like you when husband is working a lot I get a babysitter and don't stress over the extra $$. It's worth it.
I also don't stress over kids watching Sesame Street while I shower, or the occasional drive-thru lunch for the kids.
We get treats. I make sure my kids don't expect them, and aren't spoiled about it - but when a day is long sometimes you need to go to Target and get a treat. For kids in the $3 range (like a toy car or something). For mom a tabloid magazine and a diet coke will do.
I eat healthy. I just love health food and cooking health food. It makes me happy.
I need to follow the steps for house cleaning, b/c I am very tidy, but not at all clean. If $$ is good I will splurge once a month for our cleaning lady. Again, worth every penny.
I'm sure there are more... but for now this is all I can think of. Thanks for this post!!!!
I too have become a multi-tasking fool. I empty the dishwasher while making and feeding the kids breakfast and checking my e-mail on my iTouch. I wash, dry, and FOLD one load of Laundry everyday. If I fold it right out of the dryer, I don't have to iron…much. I do my face cleansing/care ritual while the kids are in the tub (I opted for a pedicure last night ;) I use the TV as a babysitter while I shower and don't feel guilty about it. For a "deeper" clean while using my shark steam mop, I spray the sticky spots with Armstrong Once and Done floor cleaner, before using my mop. Then I don't have to "scrub"
who is your tuesday babysitter? that's such a great idea.
Nice post! I don't know what you'd call me, I'm not single since me and my "baby daddy" are together but we don't live together. He lives with his parents because he's still trying to finish college and I live with mine because it's rent free. But I do most of the house work and cooking because I guess my parents figure if I don't pay them with money I should pay them in elbow grease. I love the Steam Shark, and not because I got it for $30 at Wal-Mart because they goofed on the pricing, the tip "Ali" had is awesome will have to give that a go in the kitchen. The area under Rowan's chair is pretty bad. Not as bad as it could be because we have a dog ;) I too have something against putting clothes up. I can wash and dry like nobody's business but if you ask me to fold and hang I would rather take a beating. I do Rowan's just because I feel guilty if I don't but my room is multiple stacks of clothes layed out on my dresser and on my chair...sigh, one day I'll stop living like a teenager. I still sit on the floor to do my hair and makeup! sad.
Two little items: steamer and fabric spray from Bath & Body Works.
Okay, undies need to be washed. But sometimes when it comes to dresses, I pull them right out of the dirty laundry basket, treat stains if any, spray an odor remover where it counts, and maybe give it a light steam.
Disgraceful, I know, but I am so sane.
