Development, the New Name for Peace
Excessive economic, social and cultural inequalities among peoples arouse tensions and conflicts, and are a danger to peace. As We said to the Fathers of the Council when We returned from Our journey of peace to the United Nations: "The condition of the peoples in process of development ought to be the object of our consideration; or better: our charity for the poor in the world--and there are multitudes of them--must become more considerate, more active, more generous". (64) To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, the human and spiritual progress of all men, and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to a mere absence of war, the result of an ever precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day, in the pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men. (65)
64. AAS 57 (1965), p. 896.
65. Cf. Encyclical Pacem in terris
, Apr. 11, 1963, AAS 55 (1963), p. 301.
The peoples themselves have the prime responsibility to work for their own development. But they will not bring this about in isolation. Regional agreements among weak nations for mutual support, understandings of wider scope entered into for their help, more far-reaching agreements to establish programs for closer cooperation among groups of nations--these are the milestones on the road to development that leads to peace.
Toward an Effective World Authority
This international collaboration on a world-wide scale requires institutions that will prepare, coordinate and direct it, until finally there is established an order of justice which is universally recognized. With all Our heart, We encourage these organizations which have undertaken this collaboration for the development of the peoples of the world, and Our wish is that they grow in prestige and authority. "Your vocation", as We said to the representatives of the United Nations in New York, "is to bring not some people but all peoples to treat each other as brothers... Who does not see the necessity of thus establishing progressively a world authority, capable of acting effectively in the juridical and political sectors?" (66)
66. AAS 57 (1965), p. 880.
Hope for the Future
Some would consider such hopes utopian. It may be that these persons are not realistic enough, and that they have not perceived the dynamism of a world which desires to live more fraternally--a world which, in spite of its ignorance, its mistakes and even its sins, its relapses into barbarism and its wanderings far from the road of salvation, is, even unawares, taking slow but sure steps towards its Creator. This road towards a greater humanity requires effort and sacrifice; but suffering itself, accepted for the love of our brethren, favors the progress of the entire human family. Christians know that union with the sacrifice of our Savior contributes to the building up of the Body of Christ in its plenitude: the assembled people of God. (67)
67. Cf.
Ep 4,12
A Final Appeal
We are all united in this progress toward God. We have desired to remind all men how crucial is the present moment, how urgent the work to be done. The hour for action has now sounded. At stake are the survival of so many innocent children and, for so many families overcome by misery, the access to conditions fit for human beings; at stake are the peace of the world and the future of civilization. It is time for all men and all peoples so face up to their responsibilities.
To Catholics
First, We appeal to all Our sons. In countries undergoing development no less than in others, the laymen should take up as their own proper task the renewal of the temporal order. If the role of the Hierarchy is to teach and to interpret authentically the norms of morality to be followed in this matter, it belongs to the laymen, without waiting passively for orders and directives, to take the initiative freely and to infuse a Christian spirit into the mentality, customs, laws and structures of the community in which they live. (68) Changes are necessary, basic reforms are indispensable: the laymen should strive resolutely to permeate them with the spirit of the Gospel. We ask Our Catholic sons who belong to the more favored nations, to bring their talents and give their active participation to organizations, be they of an official or private nature, civil or religious, which are working to overcome the difficulties of the developing nations. They will certainly desire to be in the first ranks of those who collaborate to establish as fact and reality an international morality based on justice and equity.
68. Cf.
To Other Christians and Believers
We are sure that all Christians, our brethren, will wish to expand their common cooperative effort in order to help mankind vanquish selfishness, pride and rivalries, to overcome ambitions and injustices, to open up to all the road to a more human life, where each man will be loved and helped as his brother, as his neighbor. And, still deeply impressed by the memory of Our unforgettable encounter in Bombay with our non-Christian brethren, We invite them anew to work with all their heart and their intelligence towards this goal, that all the children of men may lead a life worthy of the children of God.
To All Men of Good Will
Finally, We turn to all men of good will who believe that the way to peace lies in the area of development. Delegates to international organizations, government officials, gentlemen of the press, educators: all of you, each in your own way, are the builders of a new world. We entreat Almighty God to enlighten your minds and strengthen your determination to alert public opinion and to involve the peoples of the world. Educators, it is your task to awaken in persons, from their earliest years, a love for the peoples who live in misery. Gentlemen of the press, it is up to you to place before our eyes the story of the efforts exerted to promote mutual assistance among peoples, as well as the spectacle of the miseries which men tend to forget in order to quiet their consciences. Thus at least the wealthy will know that the poor stand outside their doors waiting to receive some left-overs from their banquets.
To Government Authorities
Government officials, it is your concern to mobilize your peoples to form a more effective world solidarity, and above all to make them accept the necessary taxes on their luxuries and their wasteful expenditures, in order to bring about development and to save the peace. Delegates to international organizations, it depends on you to see that the dangerous and futile rivalry of powers should give place to collaboration which is friendly, peaceful and free of vested interests, in order to achieve a responsible development of mankind, in which all men will have an opportunity to find their fulfillment.
To Thoughtful Men
If it is true that the world is in trouble because of the lack of thinking, then We call upon men of reflection and of learning, Catholics, Christians, those who hold God in honor, who thirst for an absolute, for justice and for truth: We call upon all men of good will. Following Christ, We make bold to ask you earnestly: " seek and you shall find", (
Lc 11,9
) open the paths which lead to mutual assistance among peoples, to a deepening of human knowledge, to an enlargement of heart, to a more brotherly way of living within a truly universal human society.
To All Promoters of Development
All of you who have heard the appeal of suffering peoples, all of you who are working to answer their cries, you are the apostles of a development which is good and genuine, which is not wealth that is self-centered and sought for its own sake, but rather an economy which is put at the service of man, the bread which is daily distributed to all, as a source of brotherhood and a sign of Providence.
With a full heart We bless you, and We appeal to all men of good will to join you in a spirit of brotherhood. For, if the new name for peace is development, who would not wish to labor for it with all his powers? Yes, We ask you, all of you, to heed Our cry of anguish, in the name of the Lord.
From the Vatican, on the Feast of Easter, the twenty-sixth day of March in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-seven.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently acknowledged widespread skepticism of the Trump administration's Middle East peace plan, but said he hoped people would give it a chance.
Pompeo described the plan as "very detailed, one might argue unexecutable," and said it "may be rejected," according to an audio recording obtained by CNN of a private meeting of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Tuesday.
The Washington Post first reported Pompeo's comments.
"It may be rejected," Pompeo said. "It could be in the end, folks will say, 'it's not particularly original, it doesn't particularly work for me, that is, it's got two good things and nine bad things, I'm out.'"
Pompeo said the State Department has given "quite a bit of consideration" to what it would do if the plan "doesn't gain traction," and said there are "no guarantees that we're the ones that unlock it."
"We hope that there's enough vision here, enough space, that lots of countries will see this as an opportunity to really engage in this process," Pompeo said.
President Donald Trump, when asked Sunday about the Post's reporting on Pompeo's comments, said, "Well, let's see what happens."
"We're doing our best to help the Middle East to get a peace plan, and (Pompeo) may be right, I think most people would say that. I think we have a good chance, but we'll see what happens."
"Most people think it can't be done, I think it probably can," Trump said. "But as I say often, we'll see what happens."
Trump administration officials have offered few details about the political portion of the long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. The effort is being led by the President's son-in-law and White House senior adviser, Jared Kushner.
Kushner is expected to discuss the economic portion of the Middle East peace plan at a conference in Bahrain this month. The White House previously announced the economic portion is aimed at encouraging investing capital in the West Bank, Gaza, and the region.
The plan discusses four major components: infrastructure, industry, empowering and investing in people, and governance reforms to help make the area as appealing as possible to investors.
Pompeo said, "I get why people think this is going to be a deal that only the Israelis could love. I understand the perception of that. I hope everyone will just give the space to listen and let it settle in a little bit."
Pompeo noted the unveiling of the long-awaited plan has been delayed and said, "This has taken us longer to roll out our plan than I had originally thought it might – to put it lightly."
"Everyone will find something to hate about the proposal, everything will find something I think, including the Palestinians, will find something that they say that's something to build upon," Pompeo said.
"Then the big question is can we get enough space that we can have a real conversation about how to build this out," Pompeo said.
Malcolm Hoenlein, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which hosted the event, told CNN he and other participants did not take Pompeo's remarks as critical of the prospects of the Trump administration's peace plan.
"He was citing what people had raised," Hoenlein told CNN, and that people should give the proposal due consideration once it is unveiled.
Hoenlein characterized Pompeo's message as: "People should cool it and give it a chance," and "don't fall" for arguments already being made.
He praised the speech, given to 50 heads of various Jewish organizations encompassing various political viewpoints, as thoughtful.
The State Department's special envoy to combat anti-Semitism, Elan Carr, who also attended the meeting, said he thought Pompeo "provided a hopeful assessment over the prospect of a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians," according to the Post.
"It was an excellent briefing that was very well received by the conference," he said in a statement from the State Department to the Post.
The State Department had no immediate comment to CNN.

The annual Notting Hill Carnival has returned to the streets of London for the primary time since 2019, with greater than 1 million folks anticipated to soak up the music, spectacular parades, dancing and meals choices at Europe's largest road celebration on Sunday (Aug. 28) and Monday.
The carnival, which celebrates Caribbean tradition on the finish of August yearly, needed to happen on-line for 2 years because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The carnival traces its historical past again to 1958, when Trinidadian human rights activist Claudia Jones started organizing a gathering to unify the neighborhood after a collection of racially motivated assaults on West Indians in west London's Notting Hill neighborhood.
The occasion has grown from a pageant drawing a number of hundred folks to an enormous annual road celebration, with tens of hundreds of performers within the parade and greater than 30 sound programs.
Celebrations started on Saturday evening, as greater than 1,000 folks gathered to observe a metal band competitors in west London.
Pepe Francis heads the Ebony Steelband Belief, which has been performing on the carnival for many years.
"Because the band has began, I'm on my fifth era of individuals and there's been plenty of modifications," he stated. "However our members look ahead to carnival yearly and apply takes place often from yr to yr."
"Lots of people have been ready for it to return again," Francis added.

I've drawing since I was about 4 or 5 years old, but from 5-14 it was a on and off thing. Just I was about 16 I started to take even more interest in my drawing skills. I took art classes for three years in high school and I was even in the art club. It was until my senior of high school I fallen in love with another form of art.
That form of art was none other then form of cooking. Yes, I love to cook new things just as much as trying new dishes.

For many Americans of a certain age, their first exposure to the incredible world of Czech rear-engined air-cooled V8-powered cars known as Tatras came via a black comedy movie based on a beloved series of children's books. The movie was 2004's Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the car was a 1971 Tatra 603. That Tatra seems to have resurfaced, but now it's in a sadly deteriorated state, and up for auction in Lancaster, California. It's definitely the same car, and I'll show you how I can tell.
The Tatra 603 has an interesting history; it's very clearly derived from Tatra's earlier pre-war and wartime rear-engined streamlined cars like the Tatra T77 and Tatra T87, which developed into the T600 Tatraplan, and then to the T603, which is what we're talking about.
Now, under the old Soviet-led Eastern Bloc rules, Czech Tatra was supposed to focus on trucks and luxury cars for high-ranking party members would be imported from the USSR. Tatra engineers and designers weren't really happy about that, and so began to work in secret to develop a new car they were calling the Valuta, a sleek, streamlined jet-age whale that evolved into the 603:
It's a really unusual, striking-looking car, and this movie featured it prominently in a way that most American audiences had never encountered before.
That's the 1971 Tatra T603-2 from the movie; here's the one at auction:
Yikes! That poor fella has seen its own series of unfortunate events, it seems. Now, you may be wondering how, exactly, am I so sure that this is the movie car, and not some other random, rare Tatra. Well, it's because of interior shots like the ones seen here:
Here, have a still:
See that crazy shifter? That phone handset? That crazy reel-to-reel tape player? Those weren't standard options. And, if we look inside the auction car:
There's the same stuff! The phone, shifter, and that tape deck, all there. Some internet-sleuths have actually identified what that reel-to-reel unit is, a Nagra SSN, for you professional audio geeks out there.
What's most alarming about this auction, I think, is that I just don't think of 2004 as that long ago, but if it was a person, that movie would be old enough to vote now, so it's been a while, I suppose long enough for this poor old Czech to fall into such a state of disrepair.
It looks like it just sold for just over $7,000, so if you wanted it, I guess you just missed it. Hopefully, this will get a nice, full restoration, and I'm even hoping they keep the phone and reel-to-reel and all that stuff.
You could make that phone an actual cell phone pretty easily! And at least get those reels moving as it plays MP3s or something, right? Why not?

When you lose yourself in a book or a piece of music or a work of art, where do you go? This interesting piece from the digital magazine Psyche blends aesthetics and phenomenology to consider this question.
"No wonder, then, that there is a certain sense of wistfulness when it all ends, when the lights come up or the last page is turned, and we find ourselves back where we were, forced to carry on with our daily lives. ... Here we face what I call the paradox of aesthetic immersion: when I'm immersed in artwork, I seem to go somewhere without going anywhere, and I seem to be in two worlds at once, and yet I'm not properly in either. So what kind of 'travelling' are we talking about? ... An artwork necessarily requires a physical basis, such as pigments on a canvas, a block of marble, letters on a page, people on the stage – in short, an external object or state of affairs that the perceiver can engage with. However, the work also needs a perceiver to blossom into what [Polish phenomenologist Roman] Ingarden called the aesthetic object, the artwork as experienced: it is the consciousness of the perceiver that turns the letters on a page into an imagined world, sees a landscape in a painted surface, or hears sadness in a melody. ... Indeed, when perceiving an artwork, we often literally overlook the artwork as a physical object; I'm not usually aware of the letters on the page or the pigments on the canvas, as my consciousness glides over them and attends to the depicted or narrated world that opens up in engagement with the artwork. This world is not localisable in physical space. No map can lead me there. The only entry goes through the artwork. Neither is the artwork's world a mere mental event inside my consciousness, like a phantasm or a memory, because I experience the artwork's world as something external to my consciousness. ... The dull habituality of everyday life can easily make us forget how rich and varied human experience can be. We usually live through our daily hustle and bustle with a certain automatism that stultifies our ways of relating to the world and ourselves. By altering the basic experiential structures that sustain our sense of the everyday world, immersive artworks can show us that there are more possibilities of thinking, feeling and imagining than we usually realise. Immersion mobilises the mind, and makes its gears run in a new fashion. Though immersive experiences might not teach us anything in terms of 'X is Y', we do not necessarily return from immersion unchanged. Many are probably familiar with the way art's magic can linger after immersion itself has dissipated, and how the world appears, at least for a while, richer, deeper and more enchanting than before. I believe such experiences are vital in leading towards a more curious and nuanced relation to the world. As the German philosopher J G Fichte (1762-1814) put it, aesthetic experiences might not straightforwardly make us wiser or better people, but 'the unploughed fields of our minds are nevertheless opened up, and if for other reasons we one day decide in freedom to take possession of them, we find half the resistance removed and half the work done.'" psyche.co/ideas/when-art-transports-us-where-do-we-actually-go Leave a Reply. |

Utah's impressive snowpack is great for the state's water supply outlook this year, but the deep snow depths are also posing new challenges for the struggling deer population, especially in northern Utah.
That's why Utah wildlife biologists have implemented emergency measures for the first time in six years to feed deer while reducing "repeated stress" that could negatively impact deer in the region, such as wildlife harassment.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says it has enacted emergency deer feeding policy at 12 locations in Rich and Summit counties. On Friday, biologists and volunteers, including landowners, hunters and conservation groups, began feeding deer "specially formulated" pellets to make up for the natural forage buried deep beneath the snow, said Jim Christensen, the division's northern region wildlife manager.
Christensen added that the division will only use the pellets as long as it is needed. The division could expand the emergency area to other locations if conditions remain a challenge for deer. It was last implemented in 2017.
The agency still discourages residents from laying out alfalfa, grass hay or any other possible food, which can lead to serious issues.
"Deer will eat hay. But if that is their only source of feed during the winter, they can have a very difficult time digesting it. We often find dead deer with stomachs filled with hay," Christensen said, in a news release Monday. "We appreciate people wanting to help the deer, but we strongly discourage people from feeding hay or other things to deer. These are special circumstances that follow division policies, involve trained professionals and utilize specialized feed."
Utah's statewide mountain snowpack is currently 183% of normal for this point in the water year, which began on Oct. 1, per Natural Resources Conservation Service data. The state's northeast snowpack basins are between 150% and 197% of normal, with totals above the statewide figure. Snow depth totals also remain well above normal in the region.
This could pose new challenges for Utah's already struggling deer, says Dax Mangus, big game coordinator at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
Biologists are still working on a 2023 deer population estimate, but the agency estimated there were 305,700 deer in the state in its 2022 count, nearly 100,000 short of its population goal. Officials said the state's ongoing drought is a major reason for the decline, as it depletes food and water in a natural habitat.
Winter is also a tough time for deer, as they rely heavily on fat reserves built up through any of the available food during the warmer months. Mangus explained that mule deer have learned to adapt to harsh weather for the most part, but this winter is one of the times that are "so severe" that emergency feeding is needed.
"Even with emergency feeding, we still anticipate the loss of some fawns and sick or old animals," he said.
Chronic wasting disease, a disease that impacts a deer's nervous system, is another problem affecting the deer population, which is why there won't be any emergency deer feeding in areas where the disease has been found in deer, wildlife officials said. The disease spreads from close contact among deer, which could happen by laying out pellets.
Meanwhile, agency officials added Monday that conservation officers will increase patrols in the area to reduce wildlife harassment. Wildlife interactions are more likely to happen in the coming weeks as people begin "shed hunting" for antlers.
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Lt. David Beveridge said intentionally harassing wildlife is a class B misdemeanor, which could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and even some jail time. He added that people can report cases through the agency's hotline at 1-800-662-3337, by sending a text to 847411 or online.

When Pixar first announced Lightyear (not that long ago, in 2020) and information about what the movie was about started to come out, I thought, Damn, that's a really great idea.
For those of you who don't know, Lightyear is a movie about Buzz Lightyear the "human" and not the toy. H/T to Chris Evans for making this LOL-worthy clarification on Twitter after the teaser release:
Although, to be even clearer, this isn't a live-action film. It's still CG. The idea is that this is what a live-action movie would be like within the universe of Toy Story, i.e., for the humans in Toy Story, like Andy. So, yeah, it's kinda meta.
OK, so now that you "get" what this movie is. Let's get into it! And FAIR WARNING, spoilers ahead.
As always, I am not giving away any major plot twists, but if you want to go into this movie not knowing absolutely anything, then just bookmark this for later!

Cicadas Warning: Insects By The Billions To Swarm, Invade East Coast After 17-Year Dormancy
Ever heard of cicadas? No, they're not a rock band, tasty delicacy or new Nike kicks. Instead, they are bugs that emit a piercing sound and are not for the squeamish at heart. According to experts, after laying low for 17-years, cicada insects are forecast to blanket the northern part of the East Coast by the billions soon, according to Newsday.
Beginning next month, cicada swarms will ravage states from West Virginia to Ohio — presuming that weather patterns remain consistent and the soil warms up at least 64 degrees Fahrenheit. If you've been a resident in the Mid-Atlantic region for a time, you've grown accustomed to the bug invasion. However, if you're a newcomer, throngs of buzzing cicadas will probably take you by surprise. Earplugs may be in order.
The tiny creatures are mentioned in Bible passages. The book of Exodus 10:5 describes cicadas, which are often called locusts.
"And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field."
As National Geographic explains, a cicada is characterized by its screeching sounds and creepy appearance. Clusters of males in search of females make the ear-piercing sounds for one thing: mating. Although the sounds often seem the same to humans, there are many insect calls during mating season.
Billions of cicadas expected to plague the northeast https://t.co/oYcvWgjVXq pic.twitter.com/rPNxEuxUD3
— NBC Los Angeles (@NBCLA) April 18, 2016
The invaders are known for appearing after 17 years of lying dormant based on their birth cycles. Some often emerge every 13 years. Cicadas often vanish from sight over several years, based on the species; there are at least 3,000 different types. When they become active, population sizes can grow to about nearly 2 million per acre.
When babies hatch from eggs, they burrow into the ground and feed on the liquids of plants. There, they will live for many years until they reach adulthood. Meanwhile, their parents only live for no more than a month; like salmon, they die shortly after mating.
The difference between cicadas and locusts is the former do not create plagues in the literal sense. However, when they gather in dense numbers, they can often overwhelm young tree saplings. Older trees are more resilient.
And while some abhor the creatures, people from ancient China worshiped cicadas as signs of rebirth. Some say they are symbols of good luck. Ohio State University professor Dave Shetla said cicadas intrigue many people, and he receives many calls about the timing.
"They have visitors that are coming from China and Japan and European countries and want to come and experience the cicada emergence."
Cicadas belong to the Homoptera order of insects. They are not hard to identify: their bodies are stout, heads are broad and wings are translucent. And like other insects, they have compound eyes.
During mating, the bugs have short attention spans; they don't even pause for a moment to gather food. And the search for a mate can be a noisy affair. Some residents describe the racket similar to an "alien spaceship" arriving. When the noise begins — often in the morning — the sound doesn't subside; it carries though the night.
Wendy Weirich, director of Outdoor Experiences for the Cleveland Metroparks, weighed in on the upcoming cicada invasion.
"It's going to be a wild ride. It's like Rip Van Winkle for insects."
Don't worry; if you miss this year's bug incursion, don't fret. According to a CNN report, the next brood (IV) is due in 2033. Cicadas will head further south to states like the Carolinas, Georgia and the like.

Shield-Maiden Women's Top
Norse counties were some of the most progressive in the way that they saw their women as equals. The women went on raids and to combat fighting right next to the men. These fierce women were called Shield-Maidens. This design is our way of paying homage to them and the inspiration they give warrior women today.

Is the battle in Ukraine just a "special military operation"? That remains its official Russian description. Or is it, to use the words this week of Vladimir Solovyov, the Russian state television presenter (and therefore propagandist), "a war against Europe and the world"?
The answer is the latter. Of course Vladimir Putin does want to gain full control of Ukraine because he deludedly believes it is part of his country, but he also sees it as the righting of a much wider wrong – the victory of a Western world which somehow manages to be hideously powerful and hopelessly decadent at the same time.
His leading sidekick, Dmitry Medvedev, wrote earlier this month that "Ukraine has mentally become a second Third Reich and will suffer the same fate". Words like that are too big for the suppression of a mere nationalist revolt. They hark back to what the Russians call the Great Patriotic War. They describe total victory in a global struggle.
If Putin wins this war, he will have defeated the West. The consequence will be a massive shift of global power towards autocrats and dictators, led by Russia and China, with a new international economic and political order (or disorder) shaped accordingly.
Even if Putin manages no more than the conquest of the Donbas region, he will present any advance on his pre-invasion position as a victory and use any deal or ceasefire as his means for further advances. The fight will continue, on terms less favourable to us than before. The West will have failed.
Ukrainians have been clear about this from the beginning, which is why they are so strong. They were tortured, starved, shot or deported in their millions by Stalin, first in the enforced famine and then in the Great Terror of the 1930s. Later, Hitler did much the same to them.
Today, they face a comparable threat – fewer murders, so far, but equal subjugation. Addressing our Houses of Parliament in early March, President Zelensky deployed the most famous words of Shakespeare: for his country, it is a question of "To be, or not to be".
Does the West have the same clarity about the threat it faces? The good news is that Nato responded unitedly to the invasion, though with uneven vigour. (I believe tiny Estonia has spent more absolutely, let alone proportionally, on active military aid to Ukraine than has mighty Germany.)
This has produced positive results. Ukraine won the first stage of this war. The Ukrainians believe they could not have achieved this without kit, training and intelligence which come overwhelmingly from the United States and Britain.
In the current joke, the photograph of Boris Johnson and Zelensky shaking hands in Kyiv gives them a shared speech bubble: "Thank you for rescuing me."
This help grows. In the second stage of the war, much store is put on small, loitering munitions, such as the American "Switchblade", which are hard to detect as they cruise over enemy locations, seeking out prime targets for their Javelin anti-tank warhead.
A month ago, Air Marshal Edward Stringer, now a senior fellow at Policy Exchange, declared that the Russian armed forces had reached their "elastic limit".
He does not think their situation has improved since: Russia has regrouped, but is trying to fight on three military borders without co-ordinated command and control, adequately trained troops or a proper logistical train. He calls the Russian bear "threadbare".
The less good news is that many in the West still do not grasp how much is at stake. For sure, most people detest Putin and love the Ukrainian fightback. In villages like mine, the spring-like blue and yellow flag flutters on greens and private houses. But does the West fully accept the point first formulated by Mr Johnson at the Munich security conference back in February: "Russia must be defeated and must be seen to be defeated"?
In a new essay, well entitled "The Fear of Victory", the security expert, James Sherr, sees most Western allies as "locked inside a crisis management paradigm" rather than prosecuting a war. They have slogans like "Stop the fighting" or "support for Ukraine", but no collective war aims, no "definition of success". Even atrocities like Bucha, or the unfolding horror of Mariupol, tend to be seen not so much as examples of the evil we must defeat as "humanitarian" situations where both sides must stand aside for settlements which, in effect, favour the aggressor.
Theirs is also a mentality too subject to fear, as if the meaning of deterrence – such a powerful concept in the Cold War – has been forgotten. Putin has only to hint at nuclear threat for the West to tremble. As Sherr puts it: "If escalation, the risk of which resides in war itself, becomes a phobia, the adversary will set the rules of the conflict. It is he who will deter us."
If the wrong mentality persists, the West will be merely reactive. Only a little Russian success will be needed for there to be renewed talk of peace plans, giving gains which Putin will pocket. Countries such as Germany, already laggard for fear of losing oil and gas, will feel encouraged to delay turning off the taps.
So far, this week, Russian advances in its two main areas of attack, central Donbas and along the Black Sea coast, have been unimpressive, but still, they are moves in the wrong direction for their victims. How long before the Russian jaws start to tighten on the Ukrainian forces they outnumber? The West has it in its power to avert such a disaster, but will it?
One of the joys of living in freedom is that you do not forever live in fear. The disadvantage is that you lose your instinct for danger and resent those who point out perils. As a result, public debate in free countries tends to avoid the big subjects and throw its energy into second-order ones.
Hence the vituperation towards the Prime Minister over his lockdown parties and whether he knowingly broke the rules. It is not that the issue does not reflect badly on him: it does. It is that such righteous rage, on such a subject, at such a time, is disproportionate – deliberately so, I would say.
On Easter Day, the Archbishop of Canterbury delivered a sermon which attacked the Government's policy of sending asylum-seekers to Rwanda. I have taken the radical step of reading it.
Contrary to Archbishop Welby's critics, the sermon does also lament the fate of Ukraine – and deals with Covid and the cost-of-living crisis, too. But what is notable is his order of priorities. On the most holy day of the Church's year, he singles out the Rwandan policy as the great wrong, the only subject mentioned which "is the opposite of the nature of God".
The Archbishop hurled no such anathema against President Putin, who has brought about the death (in many cases, murder) of thousands, bombing, torture, hostage-taking, rape, looting, impoverishment, the flight of millions from their homes and the attempted destruction of a free country. I think that's a bit worse than Priti Patel's plans to process asylum-seekers in Africa, don't you?
Germans have an expressive word Schwerpunkt, often applied in military affairs. It means the centre of gravity, the main thrust of what you decide to do. The Schwerpunkt of Vladimir Putin is conquest by aggressive war. Our Schwerpunkt must surely be to beat him.

How to Choose the Right Technical School Training near Norden California
Choosing to work in a new profession and enroll in a trade school near Norden CA are serious decisions that will greatly influence your long term career. However with so many trade schools to select from, exactly how do you go about locating the right one? Not only do you have to make sure that you will obtain the complete training necessary to succeed in your new profession, but also that the school is reputable and well regarded. Many prospective students make the error of selecting a vocational school simply because the campus is nearest to their home or place of employment. Or they may be attracted to the one that has the most affordable tuition. Of course the location and cost of the programs are critical considerations when evaluating vocational school options, but they can not be the sole ones. Other considerations including reputation and accreditation of the schools are critical as well. So prior to beginning your evaluations and comparing trade schools, you must know what questions to ask so you can get the information to make a final choice. We will address some of those questions later in this article. But to start with, let's talk about a few of the vocation options that are available including the accessibility of online schools.
Trade School Career Options near Norden CA
There are an abundance of professions to pick from in vocational schools that provide rewarding and high paying careers. Possibly you have already decided on one that you have for years desired to pursue. For instance, maybe you have always had fun working on your car and have thought about using that ability to make a living as an automotive tech. Or maybe a relative has had a prosperous career in a specific trade or vocation and you would like to follow in his or her footsteps. No matter what your motivation is for entering a trade, there is probably a program offered that will give you the training that you need. Below is just a modest representation of the trade school programs that are offered in the Norden CA area.
- Automotive Technician
- Heating And Air Conditioning (HVAC) Tech
- Plumber
- Electrical Technician
- Welding
- Truck Driving
- Aircraft Maintenance Tech
- Lab Tech
- Construction Manager
All programs will have differing completion times and costs based upon the vocation, type of credential and school. A number of the programs may be completed in a few weeks, while others will necessitate months or even 2 or more years of training. All of these aspects should be considered before selecting a vocation and school.

Learning a Vocation Online
Trade Schools online have become very popular with Norden CA students and increasingly more accredited programs are becoming available. While learning online is a readily available and practical way to earn a degree or certificate, it may not be the ideal option for all trades or vocations. For instance, learning to drive a semi truck is not something that you can do online, nor is learning how to weld. These are skills that need to be learned through hands on training and by doing it, not by reading about it or watching videos. But certain components of the training may be suitable for online education, such as studying driving and safety regulations for trucking schools or studying metallurgy or how to read blueprints for welding schools. Some programs will incorporate online education with on-campus lab work, such as for HVAC or plumbing schools. So it is crucial to ask before enrolling in an online school for any trade if there is an appropriate amount of hands-on training devoted to the syllabus. One way to help establish est that a vocational school program is both suitable for online education and provides comprehensive practical training is to confirm that it's accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting organization (more on accreditation later). For those vocations that are suitable for training online, it can be a practical way for students with time constraints to learn a new trade.
Questions to Ask Vocational Schools
When you have selected the vocation and type of degree or certificate that you wish to earn, either online or on campus, you can begin to limit your list of schools. As you are no doubt aware, there are numerous trade schools in the Norden CA area and across the United States to select from. That's why it is extremely important to have a list of key qualifications when making school assessments. As formerly mentioned in our opening paragraph, location and tuition will undoubtedly be the initial 2 factors you will look at. Following are several additional ones that you need to investigate before enrolling in your school of choice.
Accredited. Many Norden CA area vocational programs have earned either a regional or a national accreditation. They can attain Institutional Accreditation, which involves the school's programs as a whole, or Programmatic Accreditation, which relates to an individual program, for example HVAC technology. Make certain that the school is accredited by a U.S. Department of Education approved accrediting organization, for instance the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Along with helping guarantee that you obtain an excellent education, it can help in securing financial aid or student loans, which are often not available for non-accredited schools. Additionally, some states require that the training course be accredited in order to be approved for licensing where applicable.
How Long in Operation? One clue to help measure the quality of a vocational school near Norden CA is how long it has been in operation. A negatively ranked or a fly by night school typically will not stay in business very long, so longevity is a big plus. Having said that, even the top schools had to begin from their first day of training, so consider it as one of multiple qualifiers.
Completion Rates. Ask the vocational schools you are looking at what their completion rates are. The completion rate is the percentage or portion of students who enroll in and complete the course. A low completion rate could signify that students were unhappy with the course and dropped out. It could also indicate that the teachers were not competent to instruct the students. It's also essential that the schools have high job placement rates. Older and/or more reputable schools may have a more extensive directory of alumni, which can result in more contacts for the school to employ for their apprenticeship and job placement programs. A high job placement rate can not only validate that the school has an excellent reputation within the industry, but also that it has the network of contacts to assist grads obtain apprenticeships or jobs in the Norden CA area.
Apprenticeship Programs. Many training programs are taught together with an apprenticeship or an internship program. Those participating technical and vocational schools will help place you in an apprenticeship program within their network of companies or labor unions. Find out if the schools you are considering have working partnerships with Norden CA area contractors in the trade. An apprenticeship not only provides a valuable experience by furnishing hands-on training, but it also provides employment opportunities and helps to build relationships in the regional professional community.
Modern Facilities. Make sure that the school facilities and the equipment that you will be trained on are state-of-the-art and what you will be using on the job. If you are presently in an internship or an apprenticeship, talk to the tech you are working with concerning what you should be looking for. If not, ask a local Norden CA contracting company if they can provide some tips. Also keep in mind that unless you are able to move, the school needs to be within commuting distance of your residence. Take note that if you decide to enroll in an out-of-state school, in addition to relocation costs there may be increased tuition fees compared to in-state residents.
Smaller Classes. It's desirable that you receive as much personalized training as possible, which can be difficult in bigger classes. Ask if you can monitor some of the classes so that you can see how large they are and experience the interaction between students and instructors. Speak to several of the students and get their comments relating to class sizes and instruction. Last, speak with a few of the instructors and find out what their level of experience is in California and what certifications or degrees they have earned.
Flexible Scheduling. Verify that the class schedules for the programs you are reviewing are flexible enough to fulfill your needs. If you can only go to classes at night or on weekends near Norden CA, check that the schools you are comparing provide those options. If you can only attend on a part-time basis, make sure that the school you select allows part-time enrollment. Also, ask what the protocol is to make-up classes should you miss any because of work, sickness or family emergencies.
Technical Classes Norden California
Enrolling in the right trade school near Norden CA is a crucial beginning toward a rewarding career in the vocation of your choice. As we have covered in this article, you need to pick a vocational school and a certificate or degree program that are both accredited and have excellent reputations within the professional community. Other things to look for are plenty of practical training and modern facilities. You need to check out each of the schools personally that you are most interested in to inspect the campus and speak with both the faculty and current students. Try to get a feel for the quality of the training and the interaction between them. Additionally, ask about scheduling options and if evening or weekend classes are offered if needed. And don't forget to inquire about financial aid and student loan options too. You initially came to this website because of your interest in Technical Classes and wanting more information on the topic Vocational School Classes. However, if you ask the right questions as we have detailed in our guidelines for evaluating schools, you'll be able to filter your options so that you can make an educated decision. With the appropriate training, hard work and commitment, you can eventually become a licensed professional in your chosen trade.

Helga Diercks-Norden
Helga Diercks-Norden (born Helga Kehrein: 6 April 1924 - 12 July 2011) was a German journalist and feminist activist. Later she moved into politics (CDU), serving briefly as a member of the Hamburg Parliament during 1977-78.[1][2][3]
Helga Kehrein was born and grew up in Berlin. After successfully completing her schooling she studied art history and theatrecraft ("Kunstgeschichte und Theaterwissenschaften"), also undertaking various internships with Berlin daily newspapers. She went on to work as a reporter. In 1942 she was 18. Her application to join Germany's ruling Nazi Party was accepted in September of that year (membership number 9,125,138). Sources suggest that peer group pressure to try and join "the movement" would have been considerable at the time. Records indicate that at this point she was still single and living at an address in central Berlin (Münchenerstraße 47). In her denazification questionnaire (Fragebogen), Diercks-Norden 1946 didn't mention her NSDAP membership. Being then confronted with her membership card she confirmed that the card was related to her but that she had never applied to the Nazi Party and had never paid any membership fee. The only explanation she could think of was that her father, a Kreisleiter in Berlin, had filed for her to join the NSDAP without her knowing, as the NSDAP would have considered it very important that family members of leading party members became party members as well.[3]
By 1946 she had married Carsten Diercks (1921-2009), described at the time as a cameraman and described decades later on his grave stone with he single word "Fernsehpionier" ("television pioneer")[4] She became known by her married name as "Helga Diercks-Norden". Their son was born in 1955. It was in 1946 that she began to work as a freelance reporter for the Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (broadcasting company), based in Hamburg which by this time was administered as part of the British occupation zone. Her appointment was seen as remarkable because she was the company's first female reporter. She was a presenter of the NDR Hamburg Harbour Concert broadcasts, and by the mid 1950s had become a regular presenter of a number of popular television series, such as "Umschau/Mittag am Abend", the radio travel programme "Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti", Hamburg Harbour Concert and "Funkbilder aus Niedersachsen" ("Radio pictures from Lower Saxony").[2] This last series involved pitching up in the main square of a succession small town with an outside broadcasting unit and one of the iconic Übertragungswagen ("broadcasting trucks") and from there producing live transmissions to audiences without studio intervention. Many of these reportages were broadcast across German and gave their presenter a national profile. By 1956 her reporting roles were complemented increasingly by editorial duties in the broadcaster's features department and main editorial office. Another contribution during these early years was has involvement with a team of colleagues in creating the series "Sonntagsfamilientisch für Flüchtlinge aus der DDR" (loosely: "Sunday family lunchtime for refugees from the other Germany").[2]

PLUS: Canada investigates Hepatitis A outbreak from berries
More than 150 sick in Australian Salmonella outbreak
SA Health said in less than two weeks there had been 108 Salmonella Saintpaul illnesses reported.
The Northern Territory Department of Health said in the last two weeks there had been more than 50 cases of infection in Darwin with 12 people being hospitalised.
Warning not to eat raw bean sprouts
SA Health has warned South Australians not to eat raw bean sprouts.
Since the start of December, the agency said it had been notified of 233 cases and 43 people have been hospitalised.
South Australia usually sees around 15 to 20 cases each year. Last year there was 1,272 cases of Salmonella (of all types) notified to SA Health.
Professor Paddy Phillips, chief public health officer, SA Health, said over the past few weeks it has seen a dramatic increase in the number of Salmonella Saintpaul notifications.
"Our investigations have indicated to us that it is likely that the consumption of raw bean sprouts is contributing to this increase," he said.
"As a result we are today advising South Australians to cook all bean sprouts and avoid eating raw bean sprouts.
"We also want to alert food retailers such as restaurants and cafes not to serve raw bean sprouts until further notice. We are working closely with the producers, suppliers and handlers of the sprouts and are continuing to investigate."
The Northern Territory Department of Health also warned Territorians not to eat raw mung bean sprouts following the increase in Salmonella infection in Darwin.
Dr Peter Markey, acting director of the Centre for Disease Control, said the Saintpaul strain had been detected in the Northern Territory and South Australia.
"The type of Salmonella bacteria which has been increasing here in Darwin is the same as that causing the increase in cases in South Australia," he said.
"So it is wise for Territory health authorities to give the same health warning advice as has occurred in South Australia about not eating raw mung beans.
"Territorians should therefore cook all bean sprouts and avoid eating raw bean sprouts. We also want to alert food retailers like restaurants, cafes and market food vendors not to serve raw bean sprouts until further notice."
Hepatitis A outbreak in Canada
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is investigating an outbreak of Hepatitis A infections in three provinces linked to Nature's Touch Organic Berry Cherry Blend.
Eleven cases have been reported in Ontario (8), Quebec (2), and Newfoundland and Labrador (1).
Individuals became sick in February and March. The majority reported eating the recalled product and four have been hospitalized.
The number of cases has decreased since the previous update (from 13) due to laboratory evidence.
The frozen fruit product is sold exclusively at Costco warehouses in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Vaccination can prevent the onset of symptoms if given within two weeks of exposure, said PHAC.
Hepatitis A can cause inflammation of the liver. The disease can range in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said the product has best before dates up to and including 2018 MR 15.
Costco Canada said some locations provided free food samples of the recalled product.
It will offer a hepatitis A vaccine, but supply and capacity is limited and advised consumers to visit a local Costco Pharmacy for more information on vaccine availability.
The recalled product was sold by Costco locations in Eastern Canada between December 11, 2015 and April 15.
End of Salmonella investigation
Meanwhile, the outbreak of Salmonella Virchow linked to Garden of Life RAW Meal Organic Shake & Meal products has ended.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the outbreak investigation is over but the recalled products have a long shelf life and may still be in people's homes.
A total of 33 people were infected with the outbreak strain from 23 states. Six were hospitalized, and no deaths were reported.
Among people for whom information was available, illness dates ranged from December 5, 2015 to March 18, 2016.
Garden of Life identified the likely source of contamination (moringa leaf powder) and removed the ingredient from future batches.
The firm has since changed the name of its shake and meal replacement powder, RAW Meal Organic Shake & Meal, to Raw Organic Meal, and given it a new look.

Kenya's mangoes have received a clean bill of health in Italy:the country is theefore preparing to start exports to Europe after a 10-year ban due to fruit flies.
Kenya Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis) said a trial export of mangoes was sent after the country corrected the issues that led to the ban. Rome expressed its satisfaction with the fruits.
The self-imposed ban meant that Kenya had to rely on the less lucrative middle-east export market. Hot water treatment is now used to contain the fruit flies, so the lucrative European export market is beckoning for farmers.

Warren-Davis says: "My goal is to help foster the supportive community that YPHA has created, which not only offers career opportunities and educational talks, but also contributes to making horticulture a fun and fulfilling field to be a part of."
Member Jordan Weston, or the Bearded Botanist, became YPHA's 500th member. "I am so glad I came across this group of young, likeminded horticulturalists and have been welcomed with open arms. It's such an exciting time to be part of the horticultural industry and I'm looking forward to sharing this time with the members, getting to know them, sharing knowledge, and hopefully meeting up at various events throughout the year."
