There were a number of reasons that we ended up extending our trip in South America, however probably the most often and widely discussed was simple: Brian wanted to see penguins. And if you want to see penguins, you might as well head to the end of the world, Ushuaia.
Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. As such it is home to most of the southernmost things. This is despite the fact that the southernmost town in the world (Puerto Williams, Chile) is a full three miles south of Ushuaia.
Ushuaia is on the island of Tierra del Fuego, so driving there means you have to take a ferry across the Magellan Strait.
Then you drive past about 10,000 of these guys hanging out by the road. Not sure if the fences are designed to keep them in, but if they are they work very poorly.
Then you keep driving on a mix of paved and gravel roads, cross theborder back into Argentina, and keep on going.
Until you eventually get here.
We are a long way from things.
Waterfront mishaps.
We had to wait a couple days for an open penguin tour so we went running.
To this lake.
Then we climbed up the mountain on the other side.
The view was nice.
En route to the Penguin viewing. The wind blows hard enough here, along the Beagle Channel, that these trees grow sideways. Everyone is obligated to take a picture.
This is mine.
Then we finally arrived on Penguin Island and there were penguins.
Lots of penguins.
Most of them are quite small and look like this. These are the Magellan penguins that originally colonized the island in the 70's. Apparently one year they just turned up.
These are the slightly larger King penguins which showed up to join the party in the 90's. They look like a small version of the Emperor penguins of national geographic.
Still they are not very big. (Brian inserted for scale)
The penguins dig small burrows that they live/raise chicks in. Apparently penguins are bad at digging since this three foot deep hole takes them about 3 months to dig.
But it seems pretty cozy once complete.
One Penguin family. The chick (middle) is about 2 months old so it still has its fluffy, non waterproof, feathers.
Big penguin neighborhood.
And in case you were worried I had just used internet stock photos for these posts I have proof I was there.
Now back to America. And work.

#WakeUpWednesday How to Become Your Best Self!
Have you ever looked up to someone and wished you could take on their character traits? For me, I have always had a handful of people that I admire or want to "be like when I grow up."
I had a really meaningful experience in my early 20's that I want to share, a helpful exercise to tap into what you see in others, and to begin taking on those traits.
You will need a blank piece of paper or possibly a page in your journal to start.
Begin by making a list of all of the attributes you admire in others. This could be actual characteristics, or simple ideas. Mine looked something like: Kind, Humble, Intelligent, Risk Taker, Humorous, Adventurous, Athletic, Practical... The list went on and on.
Once you have your list, really take it in, read it over, notice if there are any words that stand out to you or if you left anything out.
Now here is the fun part, start to evaluate the list from the perspective of what attributes do you currently embody, and which ones do you honestly not currently display? Make a list, of the ones that are currently not a part of your make up, sometimes it can help to ask a friend as we can be our own worse critics.
Once you have your list, pick an attribute per month and put energy into embodying that trait for that month.
For instance, if kindness is something you would like to be more known for, look for ways to be kind. Open doors for others, drop off soup to your friend that has the flu. Go out of your way to hone the skill of being kind and before you know it by the end of the month you will find yourself a kinder person. You will find it is much like going to the gym to exercise your muscles, the more you use the muscle the stronger it gets. The same principle applies when integrating an attribute, the more frequently you flex your kindness muscle the stronger it will become. Once you have integrated kindness, move onto the next attribute.
The moral of the story being this; seeing what we want to aspire to be in others is important, creating a plan to evaluate the things we admire in others and a plan to integrate them is something very different. For me, active change happens when I create a plan and a system to make the new idea a working part of my life. When I made the connection that all of the attributes I admired in others were options for me too, if I practiced, I have been able to become what I most admire in others.
By being the qualities I see and admire in others, I become the person I aspire to become. Or more so, get to know the person I already am more intimately.
Do you have a role model? Someone you aspire to be like and would like help doing the exercise I listed above? Send me a note by clicking here: and let's chat about your aspirations.

Live full WiFi with Telkom LTE and LTE-A
Live full Wi-Fi with Telkom LTE and LTE-A. Plug in to instant internet.
Live full Wi-Fi with Telkom LTE and LTE-A. Plug in to instant internet.
Live full WiFi and experience awesome internet! Whether shopping, gaming or surfing, give your current connection an LTE boost and do it all INSTANTLY! Take a look at our LTE offerings and see which one will help you and your family live full WiFi!
LTE is the latest generation of mobile technology. A step up from 3G technology, LTE offers faster network download and upload speeds.
LTE, also known as 4G, is a modern and powerful high-speed broadband technology that's completely wireless, giving you improved functionality and performance. It's faster than any 3G connection, offering maximum download speeds of up to 90Mbps and upload speeds of up to 25Mbps, with average download speeds of between 10 and 25Mbps.
As its name suggests, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is a more advanced version of LTE and is sometimes referred to as 4.5G. Telkom SmartBroadband Wireless LTE-A offers one of the fastest internet connections in South Africa, with maximum download speeds of up to 150Mbps and average download speeds of between 20 and 40Mbps. Owing to its faster speeds, LTE-A cannot be received on a normal LTE router.
Shopping, working, gaming and streaming – everything has found its way onto the Net. In the quest to experience the best that the World Wide Web has to offer, wouldn't it be better to have an option which guarantees that everyone can live their best life while saving more on data costs? It's possible with Telkom's LTE offerings.
You can choose between our Capped, Uncapped and Fixed LTE products. If, however, you prefer to stay contract free, there are also a variety of Prepaid LTE/LTE-A once-off bundles and month-to-month options on offer. The different product options are explained below.
Our Capped LTE products are available in sizes of 10GB all the way through to 200GB per month. Each product comes with matching additional Night Surfer data, e.g. the 10GB plan comes with 10GB Night Surfer data (available to use between midnight and 7am - the perfect time for downloads).
With the Uncapped product option, you can surf, stream, download and game right through the night without ever worrying about running out of data. As long as you're within an LTE-enabled area, you're good to go. Check if your area has coverage by clicking on this link.
Prepaid bundles are ideal if you don't want a contract, already have an LTE router or you have one of our Capped products and simply need to top up. These bundles are available in sizes of 10GB all the way through to 200GB and you receive matching Anytime AND Night Surfer data.
This is the perfect wireless internet solution for homes and businesses as it comes with a wireless router which is capable of connecting multiple devices simultaneously. Also, being wireless, there are none of the problems (cable damage, cable theft, etc.) often associated with fixed-line connectivity.
Besides the reasonable price of our data, here are some other reasons why you should choose Telkom as your LTE provider:
We are South Africa's first internet provider with the largest network.
We offer the widest range of home internet solutions (DSL, Fibre and LTE).
Our vast and powerful network processes the largest amount of data in the country.
Our superior network means that we can promise exceptional connectivity and speed.
Our LTE network was designed from the ground up, specifically to provide stable broadband speeds to users using a fixed router in home and office environments.
Before purchasing any of our LTE/LTE-A deals, be sure to check our coverage map to see if the area you're in has coverage for either LTE or LTE-A, or both. Once you've done that, go to our homepage to apply or head over to your nearest Telkom store to begin the process.
If you already have an LTE router, you can set up LTE yourself. Simply click on this link for DIY instructions. Once your LTE service is up and running, you'll receive a comprehensive on-boarding pack, including more information on the deal you purchased, an explanation of your first bill, self-service options, information on how to get the most from your service and much more!
When discussing the speed of wireless technologies such as LTE, it is important to note that there are many factors that can affect the speed that you may experience when accessing the internet via wireless LTE. The following factors are all involved when determining the speeds of a wireless LTE connection:
Signal strength/distance from the LTE tower
Number of users simultaneously accessing LTE
The type of hardware/software and router being used
The speed of the actual service being accessed on the internet
Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees or walls between the router and our network.

Lawyer Lisa Bloom, who is representing one of the women who has accused Fox News host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment, is calling on the New York State Division of Human Rights to intervene at Fox News.
Bloom, a prominent civil rights lawyer, submitted a letter for an independent probe to the New York State Division of Human Rights on Tuesday.
Last week, Bloom held a press conference with her client Dr. Wendy Walsh, a former regular guest on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor TV show who said O'Reilly reneged on an offer to secure her a lucrative job on the network after she declined his invitation to join him in his hotel suite after a dinner in early 2013.
READ MORE: Fox News to investigate sexual harassment claim against Bill O'Reilly
Bloom's letter details the claims of "dozens" of women who say at times over the past 13 years they were sexually harassed at Fox News, labelling the network as a "cesspool of sexual harassment, intimidation and retaliation."
Some of the women named include Laurie Luhn, Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Andrea Tantaros.
WATCH BELOW: FOX News' Bill O'Reilly accused of sexual harassing former guest
Bloom says many have since been driven from the network and the television industry.
READ MORE: Roger Ailes, Fox News agree to pay $20M in sexual harassment settlement with Gretchen Carlson
Bloom's letter brings together allegations from Walsh and other women against O' Reilly and former Fox News chief Roger Ailes, who resigned from the network in July amid harassment allegations.
"In at least one case, Mr. Ailes threatened an employee into having sex with him, making a video of the event and then blackmailing her into years of sexual relations with the threat that otherwise he would release the video," Bloom wrote.
She likened Ailes' operation of the cable network to the mafia, "riddled with corruption and surveillance, smear campaigns and hush money."
READ MORE: Advertisers continue to flee Bill O'Reilly's show over sexual harassment allegations
"Fox News cannot be allowed to so openly and blatantly violate New York law," Bloom wrote in the letter. "This wrong cries out for a remedy."
"Show this company that it is not above the law," she wrote.
O' Reilly hasn't admitted any wrongdoing but the controversy has led many advertisers to pull their ads from his TV program. He's also taking a vacation from his Fox News Channel show and announced the break at the end of Tuesday's show.
O'Reilly made a point of saying the vacation was planned and long in the works. He's scheduled to return April 24.

text: I have learned much about the many processes to being published in the last few months. I think the editor/ writer relationship is by far the most important. It takes a lot of give and take—the editor wanting me to give my best while she takes away more and more. Yet, I absolutely love the finished product we are creating together. My pride be damned, she's right more than 99% of the time. I'll be forever grateful, as will any audience I can drum up. Because of her, at least I know my offering will be my very best.

Share Flipboard Email Print New England Chromo / Public domain / Wikimedia Commons History & Culture Women's History History Of Feminism Important Figures Key Events Women's Suffrage Women & War Laws & Womens Rights Feminism & Pop Culture Feminist Texts American History African American History African History Ancient History and Culture Asian History European History Genealogy Inventions Latin American History Medieval & Renaissance History Military History The 20th Century View More by Jone Johnson Lewis Jone Johnson Lewis has a Master of Divinity, and is a humanist clergy member and certified transformational coach. She has been involved in the women's movement since the late 1960s. Updated July 08, 2018 A picturesque story: Captain John Smith is innocently exploring the new land when he is taken captive by the great Indian chief Powhatan. He is positioned on the ground, with his head on a stone, and Indian warriors are poised to club Smith to death. Suddenly, Powhatan's daughter appears, throws herself on Smith, and positions her head above his. Powhatan relents and allows Smith to go on his way. Pocahontas, the young daughter, becomes a fast friend of Smith and the colonists, helping the English colony in Tidewater Virginia to survive in its fragile early years. Some Historian Believe the Story is Fiction Some historians believe that the story is not true. The earliest surviving story of the incident by Smith is quite different, and he only told the version of being saved by an "Indian princess" after she became famous. Smith was known to go to great lengths to promote himself and his role in the early colony. In 1612, he writes of Pocahontas' affection for him, but his "True Relation" does not mention Pocahontas or an execution threat when he tells of his expedition and meeting of Powhatan. It is not until 1624 in his "Generall Historie" (Pocahontas died in 1617) that he writes of the threatened execution and Pocahontas' dramatic role in saving his life. Mock Execution Ceremony Some historians believe that the story reflects Smith's mistaken interpretation of the "sacrifice." Apparently, there was a ceremony in which young Indian males underwent a mock execution, with a sponsor "saving" the "victim." If Pocahontas was in the role of sponsor, this would explain much of her special relationship with the colonists and Smith, helping in times of crisis and even warning Smith and the colonists about a planned ambush by her father's warriors. Some Historians Believe the Story Some historians believe the story happened largely as Smith reported it. Smith himself claimed to have written of the incident in a 1616 letter to Queen Anne, wife of King James I. This letter if it ever existed, has not been found. So what is the truth of the matter? We will never know. We do know that Pocahontas was a real person whose help probably saved the colonists at Jamestown from starvation in the colony's first years. We have not only the story of her visit to England but also clear records of her genealogical ancestry to many of the First Families of Virginia, through her son, Thomas Rolfe. Pocahontas' Age in Popular Images What is certain is that many Hollywood versions and depictions in popular art are embellishments even on the story told by Captain Smith. Pocahontas was a child of ten to twelve at the time and Smith was 28, according to all contemporary accounts, though they are often depicted as young adults in love. There is one charming report from another colonist, describing the young "princess" doing cartwheels through the marketplace with the boys of the colony--and causing more than a bit of consternation because she was naked. Was Pocahontas in Love with Captain John Smith? A few historians believe that Pocahontas was in love with Smith, noting her absence from the colony when Smith left and she was told he had died, and noting her extreme reaction when discovered that he was still alive when she visited England. But most historians see the relationship more as Pocahontas having a deep friendship and respect for a father-figure. Another Pocahontas Mystery/Myth Another small possible myth connected with Pocahontas was that she had been married to an Indian man before she married John Rolfe. There is a reference to Pocahontas marrying Kocoum, a "captain" of her father's tribe. She may have--she was absent from the colony for a few years. But just as possible is that the nickname Pocahontas ("playful" or "willful" one) was applied to another daughter of Powhatan. The source says the one who married Kocoum was, "Pocahuntas ... rightly called Amonate" so Amonate was either another daughter of Powhatan or Pocahontas (real name Mataoke) had yet another name.

When and How to Start Preparation for CAT
When and How to Start Preparation for CAT
The CAT entrance is right up the alley of anyone with an ambition to make a career in management. From fresh graduates to working professionals, lakhs of aspirants from varied fields and background test their mettle with this notoriously difficult exam year after year. With the dates for CAT 2018 already announced, the clock is ticking. While most students start preparing for CAT long before the exam schedule is announced, now is the time to delve into it headlong to secure a good percentile. Here is our comprehensive guide to help you push the peddle on your CAT preparation in these final months leading up to the exam:
When to Start Preparing for CAT
A lot of students who are sure about making a career in management start their CAT preparation well in the second year of graduation. Similarly, working professionals often dedicate at least a year preparing for CAT before taking the exam because of the limited time one can take out for studying with a fulltime job. Speaking from experience, you don't necessarily need to slog it out for a year or two to crack the CAT. During the final year of college, I applied for CAT just a day before the registration process closed down, for the sake of a backup in case my journalism entrances didn't go as per plan and started preparing sometime in mid-September. With just about two months of preparation solely on my own, I managed a score of 89 percentile. Yes, it isn't an IIM worthy score, but the point I'm getting at it is that if two months of casual preparation can secure 89 percentile, you should be able to make the cut with five to six months of sincere hard work.
How to Start Preparing for CAT
This is the next big question weighing on the minds of every aspirant. The answer to that lies in the exam pattern and syllabus. Before you so much as sit down for your first study session, go through the syllabus and familiarise yourself with the exam pattern to understand what you are signing up for. Now, assess this information vis-a-vis your own strengths and weaknesses to come up with a strong preparation strategy.
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you along the way:
Do You Need Coaching?
With almost all of your peers bolting to coaching classes and then burning the midnight oil trying to memorize the smart tricks handed down by their mentors, solving worksheets and preparing for weekly mock tests, it is natural to think that these coaching institutes hold the key to success. If that were true, every student enrolled in these classes would secure a perfect 100 percentile.
So, if you do not want to go through the financial and mental strain these coaching institutes can inflict on you, remember that self-study can be just as good a choice as formal coaching. If you choose to prepare for the CAT on your own, make sure you have mentors or peers who can help you in case you get stuck on certain topics or concepts.
Utilise the Internet
While there is no dearth of printed books to help you with your CAT preparation, the internet is a gold mine for the right study material. From section-wise notes, preparation materials, sample papers, question banks, handbooks on key shortcuts and tricks, just about everything you need to be thoroughly prepared in available online. Besides, social media platforms and online forums dedicated specifically to CAT aspirants are a great place to interact with experts as well as other candidates, share inputs, exchange study material, and brainstorm. If leveraged right way, the internet can bolster your CAT preparation.
Focus on Each Section
The CAT exam is divided into three sections – Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension. The syllabus for each of these sections is confined to Class 10 and 11 NCERT books. But that does not mean that cracking the CAT questions would be a child's play. Most of the question in the exam are twisted with tricks and need to be approached with logical thinking. One of the most important aspects of your CAT preparation should be to devote time to each one of these sections every single day to be well-versed with the fundamentals.
Do not ignore Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension just because you have a good hold over the English language or skip Quantitative Ability because you just don't get the concepts of maths. Studying each one of these subjects every single day will help you understand some finer nuances of these subjects, which will ultimately stand you in good stead on the day of the exam.
You Don't Need to Know Everything
What makes the CAT exam daunting is the fact that you have to find your way through 100 questions carrying 300 marks, out of which 25 are non-MCQs, in a duration of 180 minutes. To complicate the matter further, you lose one mark for every wrong MCQ type question. All these factors boil down to one inevitable reality – you cannot expect to attempt and get 100 percent of the paper right. In effect, you do not need to aim to be thorough with 100 percent of the syllabus.
Go through the sample papers to assess the weightage of different topics in different sections and limit your preparation to the most important ones. This is especially crucial for the sections that aren't your strong point. For example, if you struggle with Quantitative Ability, choose three or four topics from which you see a maximum number of questions in previous years' papers and focus on preparing them in a manner that you can handle the trickiest of questions on these concepts. This will get you past the sectional cut off and also promote a higher overall percentile. Whatever you do, never rely on flukes or guesses in this exam because it can cost you precious marks.
Mock Test, Mock Test, Mock Test
This is the holy grail of your CAT preparation. No matter how hard you study and how well you know the syllabus, a great deal of your chances of success rest on how much you've put your knowledge to test during the course of your preparation. Make it a point to attempt at least two mock tests every week and then mark them honestly to see where you stand. You can even sign up online test series to get a real feel on the actual exam. Besides, when someone else is assessing your performance, the chances of a realistic feedback are higher. If you attempt at least 20-25 mock tests or sample papers during the course of your preparation, you will no longer be a stranger to the ways of CAT. Not only will this boost your confidence on the day of the exam but also help you identify tricks and twists in the questions better.

Dr. Anthony Esolen, a well-known Catholic author and scholar, left his position teaching at Providence College to teach at Thomas More College of the Liberal Arts. He started his new job in the Fall 2017 semester.
Thomas More College, located in Merrimack, New Hampshire, is a small Catholic school that is deeply committed to the Faith and to a rigorous liberal arts education. Along with his colleagues at Thomas More, Dr. Esolen is working on creating the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture.
Dr. Esolen has kindly agreed to do an email interview for VOX regarding his new job at Thomas More College and about the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture:
Why did you decide to teach at Thomas More College?
I decided to teach at Thomas More College because they are actually doing what I had been trying for years to do, with no assistance from the leadership of Saint Eustaby Catholic College, and with the determined and bigoted opposition of a large part of the faculty. That is, they give their students a first-rate education in the liberal arts, and that education is also founded in, and has its aim as, the fullness of the Catholic faith.
For the first time in my career I can speak not only freely about matters regarding human nature, good and evil, and our faith in God; I can speak so and trust that my students will know what I am talking about, and will be able to relate them to a wealth of reading and study they have done in other classes and on their own. I have been given a great gift. No longer will I be nagged by the worry that I have wasted my time.
What unique things does Thomas More have to offer?
Many things – things that I have yet to experience, because I have been here only a month so far! I will mention one. Last week we had a special day set aside for the entire college, both students and faculty. There are three such days every term. For this one, we all read a Tudor play called Sir Thomas More. Several of the faculty, before the student body, spoke for ten minutes each on their own reactions to the play, and what they thought it added to our understanding of Shakespeare, in whose hand several of the speeches of Sir Thomas are written.
Then the rest of the faculty and the students were given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments, and it was wonderful to behold how keen were the students' aesthetic and intellectual evaluations of a play that they had never seen before and had never heard of.
Conversations continued during our common supper, after which we celebrated convocation, and heard an excellent presentation by one of the fellows of the College, on both the play and the power of the liberal arts during a time of massive linguistic and intellectual dilapidation. I had never been a part of any such endeavor before.
What do you think is the most important part of a good education?
Matthew Arnold put it nicely when he said that a good education would introduce young people to the best that has been thought and said and done; but that education must necessarily be incomplete and without aim, unless it is animated by the Christian faith. Education so conceived is for a human being in his fullness, and not for a piece of him – for that piece that needs a job, or craves a political position, or revels in some peculiarity of his sexual, ethnic, or racial constitution, or whatnot.
What is the Center for the Restoration of Christian Culture? What goals is the Center supposed to accomplish?
The Center will be a place for the hosting of conferences, lectures, plays, concerts, readings, films, artistic exhibits, dances – all things cultural broadly speaking, with an aim toward restoring the fundamentals of culture in our own neighborhood and, by extension and example and exhortation, the nation in general. We will soon be publishing the Center's manifesto; stay tuned.
Do you have any specific ideas for projects, as of yet?
Stay tuned for this too – it would be premature for me to name anything specific right now.
Is there any other information you would like to share with us?
Yes – at Thomas More College, I go to Mass with half of the student body, and can have lunch afterwards along with everybody else; we are a real community.
Any visitor can see what I mean just from spending an hour at the College. Everyone talks to everyone else; I can hardly get to everyone who raises his or her hand in class!
The young men and women have only good things to say about one another – they praise one another; there is nothing of the circumspection and resentment that simmers or seethes at other colleges, including Saint Eustaby Catholic.
They have reason to praise one another, because when you keep to the moral law, when you look upon members of the opposite sex as persons made in God's image, as beautiful and good, as possible husbands or wives, then you will enjoy the delight of innocence.
One result is that three of my students in a single class are engaged to be married next year, two young men who graduated last year [are also engaged], and a fourth is already married. We know there the joy of small children running about…We know the joys of ordinary human life.

Libnat Product Endorsement #22 Climate Change Strategy
27 Friday Sep 2013
Postedin Uncategorized
27 Friday Sep 2013
Postedin Uncategorized
It's a little odd but there haven't been all that many climate change jokes. I would have thought that this would have been rich ground, but the only climate joke I can think off is Greg Hunt; but he's pretty funny so maybe we don't need any more jokes about climate change if he is the standard to which jokesters must aspire.
He was a senior adviser to Downer during that Howard minister's fishnet and stilettos period, so obviously young Greg offered sound advice. The front page pictures that advice prompted certainly raised the temperature a little. (Only a Liberal could have thought it funny to have a country's foreign minister appear as though dressed for a fund raiser hosted by Alan Jones.)
Proof that "too funny" actually exists.
What a brilliant photo comparison-yes the three stooges are in charge now ,sacking Tim Flannery (but you can't keep a good man down )
And the impact of climate change continues as does the unkind xenophobic rhetoric, gathering momentum with Downer adding his poison -did he mention in his comments at any time that the leaky boats he wants to turn back and toss around the high seas are not carrying goods or produce or cheap chinese toys ,but were occupied by PEOPLE ?

Annual Fund
2018-19 Annual Fund Drive Kicks Off!
Each year, the Blessed Sacrament School Annual Fund plays a vital role in helping to support the immediate needs of our school. Primarily, the gap between what is paid in tuition and the true cost of educating a student. We so are thankful for the many gifts our parents, parishioners, alumni, and friends of BSS generously share with us through prayer, involvement and financial giving to our Annual Fund. We are truly a "community of caring"!
Last year, through the support and generosity of parents, faculty, staff, and friends of BSS, a net total of $99K was raised for our school. The Annual Fund revenues have provided the extras that are not afforded by tuition alone. The Annual Fund money is used to subsidize the school's operating budget and filling the gap between tuition and the cost of educating each student. In addition, the funds support teacher professional development, provide tuition assistance, and help to fund technology advancements.
- $28,000 was donated to the school's operating budget to help keep tuition affordable.
- $11,000 helped to fund our Professional Development Grant Program. It was used to assist teachers in graduate level coursework at George Mason University and the University of Virginia, as well as professional development conferences such as the VA Counseling Association Convention. This greatly enriches the student experience by refreshing teachers with knowledge of current research-based instructional information.
- $28,000 was used to assist families who qualified for financial assistance. In this time of continued economic uncertainty, we have families who cannot afford the full cost of tuition. We have families who have sustained job losses, major medical expenses, and family tragedies. It is our sincere hope that no family must make the difficult decision to withdraw a student from Blessed Sacrament due to financial hardships.
- $20,000 was used for instructional technology replacement needs, such as Brightlinks, printers and new work stations.
Our 2018-2019, Annual Fund drive is currently underway! If you would like to support our school, please return your intention card from the Annual Fund Form to the School Office with your gift of prayer, donation or contribution or donate here via Faith Direct at https://membership.faithdirect.net/VA388. Thank you for your support of Catholic education and Blessed Sacrament School as we continue our commitment "to create an educated community to serve Christ and one another with integrity and respect."

For many people, a dance studio might seem like an intimidating place–somewhere they feel they don't belong. Here at Dancessense, our social dance studio is open to everyone, including those who think they have "two left feet" or "no sense of rhythm," and those who don't have a dance partner. Even with the beach and outdoors, we think dancing is one of the best activities in San Diego, especially if you're looking to enliven your social life. Here are 15 social benefits of dance.
1. Get in shape the fun way.
Dancing is great cardio–check out this dance calorie calculator if you're curious about the numbers. It's also a lot more exciting than repetitive exercises like running or walking. Plus, since you're moving your whole body, it builds muscle tone all over. Dancing strengthens your core and improves posture, giving you more of a presence when you walk into a room. Good posture can also reduce back pain, and even open up your airways for easier breathing. Look good, feel good!
2. Build your confidence.
Feeling healthy naturally encourages you to carry yourself with more confidence. Dancing also improves hand-eye coordination, eye contact, and the ability to read others' body language–skills that are sure to help you ace that job interview or presentation.
3. Improve your social life.
No matter what age or skill level you are, dance classes are a great way to meet people while staying active. Our youngest students are in preschool, our oldest are in their 90s, and we offer something for everyone in between!
4. Meet the love of your life (without Tinder).
Tired of trying to meet people in bars or by swiping right on Tinder? Seeking to make friends having just moved to San Diego? Sign up for a group class at Dancessense! You don't have to have a significant other to dance with. In fact, being paired with a partner in class only enhances the social benefits of dance because you have to work together and pay attention to each other's movements. You never know–sparks might fly!
5. Learn a skill you can use anywhere.
People around the world grow up with dance as an ingrained part of their culture. Folk and traditional dancing, for example, is an ancient worldwide tradition that predates current-day politics and borders. Dancing is a way of uniting people even if they speak different languages and come from different backgrounds, and you can dance anywhere you travel!
6. Get closer to your partner.
If you have someone special in your life, private dance classes can be a great date idea.
One of our most popular classes is for couples planning their wedding. You pick the song for your first dance–or even a routine for your bridal party–and we teach you how to look great on the dance floor so you can impress your guests and make your special night even more memorable. We know wedding planning takes a lot of energy and organization, so we recommend signing up for dance classes about six months before the big day to give you time to learn and practice without rushing. It's more fun this way!
Even if you aren't quite ready to pop the question, private lessons with your partner still make for a lively date. You can sign up for one or two classes to learn a new dance and connect with your special someone, all while learning skills that will blow everyone away at the next wedding or dance setting the two of you go to.
7. Keep your mind sharp.
Dancing uses both sides of the brain, and aids in concentration. Melissa Dexter, co-owner of Dancessense, was diagnosed with dyslexia in the 2nd grade. Getting involved with dance helped her navigate the challenges that being dyslexic can bring.
Dance is great for folks nearing retirement age, too. The New England Journal of Medicine conducted a study proving that dancing can reduce the risk of dementia by up to 76 percent, compared to activities like biking, swimming and golf, which don't provide much risk reduction at all. This is because dance is a varied activity that requires you to use your brain and body at the same time, focusing on tempo, rhythm and movement. More repetitive forms of exercise don't require the same level of concentration and brain activity, so they don't provide the same benefits.
8. Be the life of the party.
Forget being a wallflower at the next wedding or dance you go to. Instead, impress everyone with your new dance skills. Learning how to dance with a partner is fun, and will make you look fancy in front of your friends and relatives. Plus, a lot of our partner dances are pretty simple to learn. Classic dances like the Bachata, for example, consist of three steps and a hip movement. Even if you think you've got two left feet, you can do it!
9. Relieve stress.
It's a proven fact that physical activity helps your brain produce endorphins, those feel-good things that cause "runner's high", and even act as natural painkillers. Endorphins can also improve sleep, which in turn reduces stress. A moderate exercise like dancing will boost your mood, leaving you feeling energized and more focused. People pretty much always leave our classes smiling!
10. Train your ear and senses.
Even if you're convinced you have no rhythm, trust us when we say that everyone has a sense of rhythm. We're here to help you find yours.
11. Stop overthinking and just have fun.
People tend to be very self-conscious when it comes to physical activity, especially if it's something they've never done before. Using your brain and body together to the music works great as a distraction from any anxiety you might have about looking silly. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to dance like a star–just have fun with it. Dancing is an activity that keeps you present in the moment, which is what life is all about.
12. Strengthen your family bond.
The father-daughter and mother-son dances are often cherished parts of a wedding reception. Our private dance classes are definitely not just limited to couples–bring a family member in and enjoy some quality time together.
13. Improve your child's development.
Activating both sides of the brain is especially important for healthy brain development in kids. Our kids' classes help children develop mental and athletic discipline while also allowing them to explore their creativity. Plus, kids just plain love to move.
While we do offer classes for competition, we can't stress enough that dance doesn't have to be a competitive sport. It's perfectly fine to let your kid focus on having fun and burning off some of that energy.
14. Explore and embrace culture.
The dances we teach come from all corners of the globe. The Salsa, Cha-Cha, and Mambo are fast Latin dances that originated in Cuba. Bachata originated in the Dominican Republic. Traditional ballroom dances, like the Waltz (from Vienna) and the Tango (from Argentina) are classics that have been around for hundreds of years.
We also teach dances that originated in different parts of America–the West Coast Swing is a slower "slot" dance (meaning it takes place within a rectangle on the dance floor, making it different from the East Coast Swing, which takes place in a circle). The Foxtrot, Lindy Hop and Jive are all dances that originated in the U.S. and are reflective of the music and culture during different times in our nation's history.
Some of these dances might be done a little differently in different parts of the country and world, but dance truly is a universal language. We all have the innate ability to use our bodies to communicate.
15. Say you've learned from the best in San Diego.
Our social dance studio is run by two former national dance champions, each with more than 30 years of experience in the field. All of our instructors have a solid dance background and plenty of experience, but that doesn't mean we don't like to have fun. The bond that brought us all together to teach dance is that we got into dancing for enjoyment.
At Dancessense, we're very adaptable to anyone's skill level; each class is tailored to the student's level of skill and comfort. We also take pride in respecting our students; lessons are always private and can't be observed by those who haven't signed up. We dance because we love it, and we want you to love it, too!

Fibonacci And Elliot Wave Predict Stock Market Breakout HighsStock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018 May 21, 2018 - 03:34 PM GMT
There is nothing more exciting to us than reading the price action of the charts to see what will happen in the future. It becomes even more exciting when we find something that everyone else seems to have missed. Right now, traders need to pay attention to our research because we believe we have correctly identified a breakout pattern that is setting up in the US majors – and everyone seems to have missed it.
Recently, our research team began a quest to properly identify the Elliot Wave structure of the US majors in relation to the recent price congestion after the February 2018 price collapse. You can read our earlier research post to better understand our conclusions.
Our research shows that price could be setting up in a very unique extended Wave C pattern that would indicate the recent price correction in the markets could be a Wave D price rotation setting up a "Diagonal Price Breakout" pattern.
How is this analysis important to all traders and investors? It is critical to understand that if the majority of market analysts believe this is a Wave 5 Top Setup, believing this is an ultimate top, when the reality is this is an extended Wave 3 (2.618 x Wave 1) and possibly the Wave 3-d formation, the long-term analysis is dramatically different. Instead of an "ultimate top" setup, this analysis now becomes a "price correction in a longer-term upside trend with much greater upside potential to go".
Let's get into the details of this analysis to better illustrate our thinking.
Without going into the details of how Elliot Wave theory works or the fractal price rotation balance that is essentially correlated to Fibonacci price theory, we want our readers to focus on this "Ending Diagonal" that is common near the end of wave 3 or "always in wave 5 of a motive wave sequence". The source for this information and image below is from World Cycles Institute.
Bull Market Motive Ending Diagonal pattern
The Bull Market Motive Ending Diagonal pattern is the one that caught our attention as we attempted to better understand the current market price structure in the SPY chart. Pay very close attention to this pattern because we strongly believe most of the major analysts have completely missed the structure of price in relation to the upside potential within the US markets. As you are likely aware, our advanced predictive modeling systems have been warning of a price bottom and much higher price predictions over the past 30+ days. This prediction does not settle well with many traditional analysts because they seem fixated on the Wave 5 ultimate top analysis. We believe they are wrong and we will show you why – keep reading.
This type of Ending Diagonal is very common near the end point of a larger Wave 3 formation – often setting up a Wave 5. This type of Ending Diagonal is rarely seen as a wave C. (source : http://elliottwavepredictions.com/wave-notes/).
Remember, we believe most of the best analysts on the planet have missed this setup and believe the early February price top is the "ultimate wave 5 peak" setting up a much broader downside price move. Here is why we believe these analysis are wrong.
Incorrect SPY Daily Chart Analysis Everyone is Using
This SPY Daily chart shows what most analysts would identify as a proper Elliot Wave count if they understood the Ending Diagonal pattern that was setting up. This is incorrect because the lower price rotation (iii and iv) are structurally invalid based on Fibonacci time/price structure. We believe this is one reason why so many analysts have misinterpreted this current price pattern.
CORRECT SPY Daily Chart Analysis
The correct analysis of this pattern is shown below. The difference, in our opinion, is that wave "iii" is still in the process of forming and will ultimately breakout to new highs before forming a short retracement and rocketing much higher to complete the ultimate wave 5.
Please take notice of the CYAN price line drawn by our researchers. Structurally, this price level must be reached in order to complete a wave "iii". We believe once this "new price high" level is reached and the market price retraces, the retracement level will likely be about 3% and stall near the upper BLUE wedge resistance line (near $278). The current price consolidation, over the past 4+ days, is nothing more than temporary resistance before the upside breakout to complete the "iii-c" price peak.
Ultimately, as we suggested in our earlier research post Elliott Wave Prediction for US Stocks, the final Elliot wave analysis of this rotation may take many more months to conclude with any degree of accuracy.
The point of this article is that this Ending Diagonal pattern is common near the end of wave 3 and near the beginning of wave 5 – yes, we understand this point. Yet, our question remains "is this the end of a 5-leg sub wave 3" or "the end of a major 5 leg (ultimate peak)" formation? Our belief is that the answer is this is the end of an "extended wave C" that will likely result in much higher price activity over the next few months/years.
There is one key to understanding our analysis and our future expectations – recent price lows in the SPY must not be breached for our analysis to remain valid. These recent low-price levels are $254.67 & $252.92. If our analysis is incorrect, these low-price levels will be the first levels to be breached on a market price reversal. If our analysis is correct, price will never come near these levels and will continue to accelerate higher as a new wave 5 is created. If we are correct, there will be a lot of short sellers that get caught in this failed analysis and this move could be explosive and trigger that signature blow off/capitulation topping spike in price that ends most bull markets.

8 P.M. (HBO) HITCHCOCK (2012) Anthony Hopkins, buried in a fat suit and facial prosthetics, summons the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock during the making of "Psycho" in this biopic, directed by Sacha Gervasi and based on a book by Stephen Rebello. But Hitchcock isn't merely taken with the inspiration behind his perverse shocker: Robert Bloch's 1959 novel about the crimes of Ed Gein, a serial killer in Wisconsin who adorned his home with human body parts and walked around in the skin of his female victims. Hitchcock becomes possessed, enduring sleepless nights and, at the same time, marital troubles with his wife and adviser, Alma (Helen Mirren, above with Mr. Hopkins), who is dramatically unhappy about his fixation on blondes — in this case, Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson). "The real Hitchcock's great flaw, apparently, was that he was at once a genius and a private man, a combination that has allowed some writers and filmmakers to have their insultingly imaginative way with him," Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times. And while "The Girl," on HBO, "painted him as a pathetic sexual predator," this film "takes a lighter, more strenuously comic if patronizing approach to the director," she said. "It's fluff. But while its dim fantasies about Hitchcock and the association of genius with psychosis can be written off as silly, they also smack of spiteful jealousy."
9 A.M. (NBC) GEORGE TO THE RESCUE George Oliphant, the home-improvement specialist, restores a residence, located along a commercial stretch of Freeport, N.Y., that was damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
10:30 A.M. (13) RELIGION & ETHICS NEWSWEEKLY Betty Rollin interviews the Rev. Dr. Thomas W. Ogletree, a minister in the United Methodist Church and a retired dean of the Yale Divinity School, who is facing a possible church trial for officiating at the marriage of his gay son. Fred de Sam Lazaro visits Durham, England, to see the 1,300-year-old Lindisfarne Gospels, the first surviving translations of the Gospels from Latin into Old English. And Susan Tumarkin Goodman, the senior curator at the Jewish Museum, discusses "Chagall: Love, War and Exile," which includes paintings of a crucified Jesus as a Jewish martyr.
8 P.M. (Sundance) THE NAMESAKE (2007) Kal Penn, left, stars as Gogol, the first-born child of a singer (Tabu) and an engineer (Irrfan Khan), who is struggling to cross a cultural divide in the United States, where his parents moved after their arranged marriage in India. The film, directed by Mira Nair and based on the novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, "conveys a palpable sense of people as living, breathing creatures who are far more complex than their words might indicate," Stephen Holden wrote in The Times.
8 P.M. (Lifetime) TAKEN: THE SEARCH FOR SOPHIE PARKER (2013) An American mother (Julie Benz) goes in search of her teenager and the daughter of the United States ambassador to Russia after the girls are abducted from a Moscow nightclub during spring break and sold into sexual slavery.

Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for an Oscar; Rose Byrne; Wendi McLendon-Covey; and Ellie Kemper play the beleaguered title characters, who endure a dress fitting, a bachelorette party and a bridal shower that all go very, very wrong. Ms. Wiig and Annie Mumolo, who earned an Oscar nod for their screenplay, "ask the question facing every modern woman who jumps at the chance to enact the latter-day equivalent of being passed from man to man, father to husband, if without a bushel of dowry corn and 12 goats: How do you survive getting down the aisle?" Manohla Dargis wrote in The Times. "With a little, or rather a lot, of help from your friends, or so say the filmmakers, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till misunderstanding, jealousy, other people or just life us do part."
9 P.M. (CUNY) REMINISCENCES OF A JOURNEY TO LITHUANIA (1972) The avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas chronicles the trip he and his brother, Adolfas, took to their home country after an absence of 25 years. Jerry Carlson, the host of the series, interviews Mr. Mekas afterward.

This website had the best price for a flight between Canada and the States, over $300 cheaper than all the other ones I found. And I do alot of online flight searching. I was a little sceptical because it was so good, but I emailled them and got a prompt reply and when I was ready to book it was pretty effortless. The flights were good, I now check this site first when I do my flight searching.

I ordered a custom design hoodie for myself for last Christmas. It was great being able to choose what logo went where and see it on the page.
It said it would take a few weeks to ship, but in the end it was only about 1 week. though when i recieved it I realised it wasnt exactly the font I had chosen. I think because it was so close to Christmas that they shipped the very similiar one, which in the end was fine. The material was nice and it's now my favourite hoody.

If you are fortunate enough to have a pension plan with your employer, it is important to understand the options available to you prior to retirement in order to plan ahead and make full use of the retirement income available to you.
For many Canadians, pension assets are a considerable source of their retirement income. In certain circumstances, you have the option to move your pension to a Locked-In RRSP as an alternative to leaving the money with the pension administrator when you either leave the company or retire. This allows you the flexibility of managing the Locked In RRSP independently until such time as you are transition it to a Life Income Fund, typically any time after age 55, depending on the pension. While Locked-In Funds (LIF's) can provide attractive options and flexibility, including being able to leave pension money to your heirs, there are restrictions on the annual minimum and maximum withdrawal limits which can impact the total income you might expect.
By working with an advisor who understands the advantages of the maximum withdrawal limits, pension holders can potentially unlock thousands of dollars in their plans while ensuring the funds remain tax-sheltered.
Often an individual's cash flow requirement can be less than the maximum LIF withdrawal amount annually. A strategy recommended in this case is to transfer the difference between this maximum amount and the actual cash flow need to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) if you are 71 or older.
What is the benefit of a strategy like this? You are freeing up the locked-in savings without losing the tax-sheltered benefits. You are then able to utilize the unlocked funds as and when you need them without any restrictions.
In addition to the above strategy there are many jurisdictions that allow an individual the opportunity to unlock some or all of their locked-in funds. Those jurisdictions that allow it have a one-time opportunity to transfer up to 50 per cent of their locked-in savings to a regular RRSP or RRIF. This would leave the remainder in the locked-in plan and would continue to be subject to the annual minimum and maximum withdrawal limits.
These strategies allow for unlocking of funds that can allow for greater flexibility with retirement cash flow, or for any emergencies that may arise.
As with any retirement planning process, it is important to work with a professional advisor to ensure that you understand the details behind any financial decisions that you make. At Insightful Wealth Group, our team works closely with our clients to ensure that the strategies we recommend are tailored to each family's individual needs. In providing a personalized Financial Plan we are able to review all options and determine the best possible outcomes to help you achieve your retirement goals.
Should you have any questions regarding your Pension options, or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us at Insightful Wealth Group or mention it at your next review meeting.

So THAT'S what silverbeet is! I thought Johny's Selected Seeds carried many colors of chard. The "Swiss" part came because a Swiss botanist identified the chard – I can't imagine it growing wild in the Alps.Gorgeous, gaudy picture.

Who runs the world (and W&M)? Girls!
Want to know a fun fact about me? W&M's Chief Police Officer, Deb Cheesbro, is my mentor. When I got lunch with her for the first time, I was star struck. Yeah, I know the people in my life are WAY cooler than me. I am a part of the William & Mary Women's Mentoring program. This program connects undergraduate women with faculty and staff at W&M in order to foster women's flourishing. I meet with the chief every few weeks for coffee or lunch. We talk about women in the workplace and balancing our busy schedules. I have to admit, I feel very special. The Chief has endless meetings, yet she still stakes time out of her very busy schedule to mentor me.
Sometimes (no, ALL of the time) I am in awe of the powerhouse women at W&M. Our community is filled with such incredible women who inspire me to break the glass ceiling and to challenge the status quo. We have women here who are building libraries in Ghana, others who are researching cellphones and women empowerment in Tanzania, and more who are doing cutting-edge research in Chemistry. Some of my friends who graduated are in law school and medical school and others are a part of Teach for America and AmeriCorps. The ways women are contributing to this campus is breathtaking. Many women here are presidents of student organizations, social activists, yoga instructors and directors of musicals.
Celebrating the past
I am humbled to be a part of the Tribe. During homecoming a few weeks ago, I talked to Alumnae who graduated and went on to become lawyers, businesswomen and teachers. Even after their time at W&M, they are still empowering women and chipping away at the glass ceiling. In the 2018-2019 academic year, W&M will celebrate 100 years of coeducation. I am excited to celebrate, along with the other incredible women, the legacy of women at W&M.

What happens when the unique aesthetics of a 17th Century Dutch painting enter the world of high end footwear? Dutch art, with its essential realism, has proved to be a never-ending source of inspiration for modern designers. Christian Louboutin's F/W 09 advertising campaign, shot by famed photographer Peter Lippmann, takes the shoes and places them right in the middle of the art. The stiletto gems blend in with the surroundings, appearing as if they are actually part of the painting. Look for these images in magazines starting in August.

Funky Witch
Few years ago, I was lucky to have been invited to a discussion with two funky Swedish economists Dr. Jonas Ridderstrale and Dr. Kjell A. Nordström who wrote two very successful books: "Funky Business" and "Karaoke Capitalism". The guys were geniuses in that they dressed like punks, wrote books with funky names with funky pictures in which everyone found what they wanted to find. And they sold their shit to managers who felt like rebels because they were listening to two crazy black-clad guys wearing spiked bracelets and talking about business. They were fantastic marketers.In the middle of the discussion, they posed a question about the managers of the future. What should they be like? I raised my hand, took the microphone and said "Mothers". Everybody in the audience looked at me in shock, some even laughed. The two funky economists didn't know how to react - so they simply didn't. And look at what is happening now. Along with "Are We All Socialists Now?" trend, we are expecting managers to change their role from being hunters of short term profit to "mothers" managing the household for the long run well-being and making sure everybody is healthy and well and equal. The Congress jumped on their feet when Obama mentioned Leonard Abess, a bank president from Miami who cashed out of his company, took a $60 million bonus, and gave it out to all 399 people who worked for him, plus another 72 who used to work for him. And in Austria, we suddenly have big public discussions about the gender of the economy. Like: "Learning from the economic crisis: Should the economy become more feminine?" Well maybe, we should have started those at least 10 years ago. So please, next time I say something that sounds weird - don't laugh!!!! Sometimes, this funky witch knows what she is talking about.

The ongoing development of our pumps project and new materials research allowed us to produce pumps in Titanium and in Hastelloy C. Executions can be differentiated with the installation of single mechanical seals, double in tandem , double back to back or magnetic coupling also ATEX certified. We have also developed the insertion of bushings and wear plates made of tungsten carbide and chromium oxide-covered shafts in some types of dosing pumps series N used for metering of slightly abrasive products.
The new thermochemical treatments have given to gears and shafts, of some pumps range, surface hardness up to 4000 Vickers allowing new applications until a few years ago thought impossible.
All pumps are tested hydraulically. The workshop is equipped with a pump test bench with a proper software for measuring, displaying and printing of various hydraulic and electrical parameters.
The training of the sales engineers of our distributors or customers who wish to apply for this service is provided by a 3D configurator visible in stereoscopy with passive glasses that allows the display of all the pumps exploded and entire assembly and disassembly of all the families of pumps of our production. This configurator also shows explanatory modules related to pump cavitation and layout examples of a metering plant.

Saudi Human Rights Activist Hatoon Al-Fassi's Arrest and Conservative Mona Charen Rethinks Sex and Marriage
- Last September King Salman of Saudi Arabia, who fancies himself a reformer, ended the ban on women drivers -- at least cosmetically. Simultaneous to this announcement was a crackdown on the human rights activists that have been calling for an end to this ban for years. Prominent women's rights advocate Hatoon al-Fassi was arrested last week. She was planning to drive journalists to mark the ban's end. "Fassi was last active online on Thursday. She was planning to take journalists in her car on Sunday as other women did to celebrate the much-hyped end of the world's last ban on female drivers, long seen as an emblem of women's repression in the deeply conservative Muslim country," reports Reuters.
- The Handmaiden's Tale is more relevant than ever, especially as evangelicals are eyeing a potential rollback of Roe v Wade. Even Oprah made a cameo. "In this second relentless season, which has two more episodes to go, the story line of The Handmaid's Tale has moved ahead of, but not past, Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel, which introduced a post-U.S. society called Gilead that's ruled by religious extremists. Women there have been stripped of all rights, with some turned into breeding stock — biblically speaking, they're called 'handmaids' — and subjected to a religiously sanctioned, heavily ritualized rape in the service of infertile couples," Philly Inquirer's TV Critic Ellen Gray wrote. "The slightest dissent or resistance brings swift, harsh punishment."
Help us Reverse Women's Narrative
- On that note: What does the retirement of Justice Kennedy during a Trump administration mean for reproduction rights? At present, there are four Justices pro-reproduction rights — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer. And there are four against: Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the 5-to-4 decision. Until this week, the fight was even, with Kennedy as the dividing line. Kenedy was the swing vote on reproductive rights. No more. Julie Rikelman of the Center for Reproductive Rights told The Cut that "there are several cases pending in lower federal courts at the moment that could raise the question of whether abortion should be legal to the Supreme Court," writes Rebecca Traister in The Cut. "One such lawsuit is the Jackson Women's Health v. Currier, which challenges Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. If that case makes its way up to the Supreme Court, the justices may have to again rule on the legality of Roe." Trump thus far has only picked conservative Justices. Trump has asked the Federalist Society, a right wing legal group, to help him with a list of conservative nominee that can pass through Congressional hearings.
- One of the scary possibilities about another right-wing conservative addition to the court altering its balance seems like a prologue to Hulu's more and more prescient Handmaid's Tale. Conservative thinker Mona Charen just wrote a controversial new book, Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense. The sexual revolution, to Charen, was without standards. Charen quixotically blames male bad behavior – sexual harassment and abuse - on the sexual revolution, like a true movement conservative. "Sex needed to be kept in the box," she told Morning Joe. She argues that marriage, courtship, and modesty — the new Victorianism of modern conservatism — is the way to go going forward. "Charen's solution to all of these problems? A renewed focus on ― if not fetishization of ― the traditional family unit, marriage, courtship, and modesty. She apparently believes that so many of the problems that plague our culture could be solved if women just slowly backed away from any kind of sexual (and I would argue, by logical extension, social, and political) agency and then slowly backed themselves back into the kitchen, preferably after first getting knocked up by their husbands," Noah Michelson writes in Huff Post. It was enough to make me think someone had changed the channel to 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I wasn't looking."
- How does the mainstream media portray the #MeToo movement? Oftentimes the movement that exposed the sexual harassment that women have faced for decades in the workplace is portrayed as divided — as in divide and conquer. But is it any more divided than any political movement in the West nowadays? "In short, many of the criticisms of #MeToo — and many of the demands critics have made of the movement— have mirrored the criticisms that have been made of women in general, when they have attempted to argue for a better place in a culture that has looked down on them," Megan Garber writes for The Atlantic. "The complaints resolve, often, into a unified and overarching critique: that #MeToo is not only divisive, but also divided. That, being structurally unsound, it will eventually — and inevitably — implode." But #MeToo will not go away, and it is not nearly divided as it is sometimes portrayed. A recent Vox/Morning Consult poll showed that women over 35 are still largely optimistic about the movement.
