It means she's a gold digger. She doesn't want to work, wants to be taken care of, and really doesn't want to do much in exchange, except be pretty. The best she can ever be is a trophy wife...
Have the 'other person/s' pay for everything.
Heather Mills (Mc Cartney) :o)
It means she wont mind when you yell at her from the top of the pit "It puts the lotion on its skin!"
she wants to stay at home or go shopping for herself with your money. no cooking no cleaning sex when she desires and who ever is keeping her pay for everything.
It simply means she accepts who and what she is and doesn't try to be something she is not. She is comfortable with her role. Contrary to what Skater thinks, she can be very successful in a career and be pretty at the same time.
that she thinks she is amazing in bed
Pack the truck and head west young man! Means she wants some sap to provide an extravagant lifestyle for her and your 'it' yo...
a kept woman historically meant the mistress of a well-to-do married man. the married man would take care of her, buy her her own house, pay her bills, etc. But because of him taking care of her, she would only keep company with him. This woman knows she will never marry this man or anyone else. This is her life and once you start it, it's hard to stop.
It means she wants to be pampered.
It means she's willing to act like a whore, be paid like a professional, but still wants to feel classy.
I thought a "kept woman" was kept like an object, looking and acting in a way to please her man. They only speak when adressed, bring cans of beer and t.v. dinners quickly and quietly. I guess they don't work, but they are treated more like a pet than a human who is loved. Only allowed out to do household shopping and interogated about any contact with the world. "Kept" infers ownership. Kept alive yes. But also kept in line.
Means I'm dating someone else
It USE to mean that she wants to be "kept" as a mistress, without getting married, but with lots of financial benefits. Whether that is what she meant by it is open to question.
Get that woman a metal detector. She's obviously a gold digger.
Defined by Online encyclopedia, kept woman - an adulterous woman; a woman who has an ongoing extramarital sexual relationship with a man mistress, fancy woman lover - a significant other to whom you are not related by marriage concubine, courtesan, doxy, paramour - a woman who cohabits with an important man adult female, woman - an adult female person (as opposed to a man); "the woman kept house while the man hunted"
A kept woman is like a an empty till,You'll always be giving out, but nothing will be coming in.
In my circles it means run and that she is a high risk-high maintenance woman looking for a sugar-daddy. That's not a typical statement any well wisher expresses in a relationship. Warning...
She means she wants a man with enough money to keep her in the style to which she wishes to become accustomed
i took it to mean like i want to be "well kept"...like clean, smells good, shaven??....idk..:-/
you should run away fast!!
grab you walet?
It means that she wishes it were still 1956.
That could very well be sexual too?
You play? You pay. For every expense she's got.
Have you got plenty of money,your going to need it,such women havent quite got it with earning their own money,either too dumm or too lazy

Intro about the episode:
Hi everyone and welcome to the Brighter Retirement Radio™ Podcast. In the latest episode of the Brighter Retirement Radio podcast, you'll hear from guest, Gena Bertelsen, who shares how important it is to maintain personal connections with others in your family & community.
As the self-proclaimed "Queen of Everything" at the senior friendship center she works for, Gena ensures that the community always feels connected to one another by offering classes through their Brilliant University or daily communication with her and the 90 volunteers at the center. She also shares how she came up with the 2020 vision for the community center called the Perfect Happiness Program.
>>Devin Peterson (00:00):
Devin welcomes listeners back to Brighter Retirement Radio and explains this episode hits on the core purpose of this podcast because it is all about making your retirement years brighter. He explains that Brighter Retirement Radio is not just a platform for him as an advisor to get up on his soapbox about the best financial planning techniques or proven strategies, but rather a collection of best practices that other charitable boomers are doing to make significant and measurable improvements to their financial, emotional, mental, and physical retirement experiences. For today's episode, he had the pleasure of bringing on a guest by the name of Gena Bertelsen, a good friend of mine, and the community director, aka "Queen of Everything", aka "Glitter Thrower" for the Orem Senior Friendship Center here in Orem, Utah. He explains that his intention today in this episode is that the interview about finding connection and community might inspire you to increase the connections of your own in your own community. As a bonus, Gena shares with us a program that she's created in her community center that brings perennials joy. When we talk about perennials, we use that term as seniors or retirees. That's a fun part of the episode. Instead of millennials, we have perennials, such a kind, amazing, meaningful, filled term. She put together a community program that helps perennials feel alive and continue to grow in their community. Devin welcomes Gena to the podcast.
>>Devin Peterson (02:54):
Devin advises that he is so grateful to have her here. He advised that he feels like he needs to go get a rockstar to spike up his energy because Gena is such an energetic person.
>>Gena Bertelsen (03:06):
Gena advises it's a gift.
>>Devin Peterson (03:08):
Devin advises it definitely is a God given gift. He explains that in the podcast they are going to talk about the value of finding connections in the community. He explains that he first met Gena when he first got into financial service about eight years ago. He walked into the senior center and just wanted to talk to someone about community activities, classes, what you do there. He was introduced to Gena and thought, well, this is fun. He advised he wanted to be a part of this community because she made it so energetic and exciting to be there at the community center.
>>Gena Bertelsen (04:06):
Gena explains there's a totally different feeling than other senior centers they've been to and she is so grateful about that.
>>Devin Peterson (04:37):
Devin explains that they will be talking about something that he thinks is extremely valuable and if all of us can understand a little bit more, he thinks we'd have a lot more enjoyment as our life progresses and we get older in all areas of our life. He asked Gena to share more information about her.
>>Gena Bertelsen (05:16):
Gena advised she's been the program director for seven years. She just celebrated her seventh anniversary. Lucky number seven. In her personal life, her and her husband have been married for 33 years. They have two fantastic kids, they're amazing. One wonderful son-in-law who takes such good care of not only the daughter he's married to, but looks out for the other one also. Nobody's reproduced for them yet. They have two granddogs and a grandcat, but the familial resemblance is uncanny.
>>Gena Bertelsen (06:25):
She explains that she has 2 granddogs named Hank and Jaeger and a cat named Cheese. She also explains that she is a crazy chicken lady. She has a small hobby farm at her home and has half a dozen chickens and they're all named after dinner. She has Teriyaki and Parmesan Chicken because when you come home and say what's for dinner, you get the word chicken. Cacciatore, Malibu and Barbie and Barbie are short for barbecue and they have their own Instagram account. It's called The Cluck Report.
>>Devin Peterson (07:07):
Devin explains that when thinking of the conversation about the value of connection in the community, he feels like Gena was perfectly positioned to answer this. He advised that everyone is trying to be bigger, better, brighter in retirement and it's not just about making your finances better. It's also primarily actually just about making your happiness better. He asked Gena, "What is the best way for us to view how to improve and be happier in your later years?"
>>Gena Bertelsen (07:59):
Gena explains several months ago she was doing some studying and trying to figure out the program for 2020 and 2020 is synonymous with perfect vision and she kind of came up with perfect vision, perfect happiness and everyone's level of happiness is different to be perfect. She felt like there were basic components that would attribute or give you the tools that would increase your level of happiness. That's what we're focusing on for 2020 at the senior center. It kind of was spurred on from reading about this study that Harvard University did and it was the longest running study on living people and they started with actually over 700 people. Some of them had just started school at Harvard University and some of them were from kind of a lower economic area in Boston. They met with them every two years. They did blood tests, they did mental evaluations and they had interviews with them.
>>Gena Bertelsen (09:24):
Gena explains they really followed them and they followed them throughout their life. They still have about 60 of the original people who started. They're in their nineties at this point and now they're also interviewing their spouses and following their children and they'll move on to their grandchildren. So it'll be very much an intergenerational type of study. But the thing they found with all of that studying and all that testing was what they found that led to a happy life was social connections. Being able to have someone you could count on, someone that had your back. It didn't matter if you were married or widowed or lived alone all your life. It mattered that you had a relationship and people that you could count on.
>>Devin Peterson (10:20):
Devin explains all of what culturally we think makes us happy like the car, the house, the bank account, the ability to go out to eat, the ability to travel, all of those things are a bit of a facade and it really comes down to these connections. He advised when a lot of us think about happiness into retirement, we think about it's only going to be happy if my spouse is still with me to travel to Europe because we've always wanted to do that or is I'm only going to be happy if my children have 25 grandchildren and I'm able to do a date with them every other week. He advised based on what Gena is saying, connections don't have to be just family members, those connections can be created elsewhere.
>>Gena Bertelsen (11:20):
Gena advises that yes and even more so now in our society, if you look back 30 years ago, people were living closer to their families. She advised that as her and her husband were raising their little girls, they were the first of four children to move away from her husband's parents, meaning move further than a mile away. Every day they would walk up to see grandma and grandpa. She advises that now someone will get a job and it will be three states away. Our families, our biological families are kind of spread out so much more that you're not having those family dinners. She explains that not people are just dropping in to see what others are doing, and texting and using the phone. She advises that that's different than having a face to face conversation with someone saying your name or touching you on the shoulder. She also explains there's actually an epidemic of the need of just physical touch for a lot of our aging population. She explains if they live alone, if they don't have that physical touch, it actually can kill a person. Your social connections when you walk into my senior center, it's something she tries to do with as many people as she can on a daily basis to say their name, talk to them, touch them on the shoulder. Gena advised her oldest daughter is a dispatcher for the Sheriff's department. She's been there for 13 years and one of the saddest things she's told Gena about her job is the people who live alone that don't have family around that call several times a day just to talk to someone.
>>Devin Peterson (14:06):
Devin asks Gena, how do we find connection in our community then?
>>Gena Bertelsen (14:34):
She advised the first thing she's going to tell you is to check out a senior center and it is what you let it be. She likes to tell people they accept even the lowlanders and have members from throughout the county. They even have members who live in Germany and when they are here visiting family, they come to our center, which is really great. One of the things they have at Orem Senior Friendship Center is called Brilliant University.
>>Gena Bertelsen (15:35):
She explains that it's exclusive there in that they have two semesters a year and have classes that are pretty unique. Right now they're currently in the middle of one of their spring semesters and we have a class called Break Free From Your Emotional Prisons. They have a class on literature, watercolor group, astrology groups and many other classes that help keep the community socially connected. Financial aid, we are not financial aid but learning how to do your finances. She advised that Devin has taught a few classes at the center and the residents always tell her they've saved so much money as they went through those and learned the skills that he taught them.
>>Devin Peterson (17:43):
Devin advises that from what Gena is explaining, it's not about just showing up and having a few activities, it's about really enriching your life through education. It is really seeking to find community and connection through doing specific activities, but make it interesting, make it valuable.
>>Devin Peterson (18:57):
Devin advises the first time Gena mentioned the word 'perrenials' it kind of blew his mind a little bit because of the analogy that we can drive between those.
>>Gena Bertelsen (19:06):
Gena advised it made her think about what really perennials do. And if you think about the roots system that it builds in the soil and it kind of protects your soil from eroding and it continues to bloom, it continues to grow. It has seasons in its life just like everyone does. It really just is the perfect word to describe somebody who's aging into their senior years. We have the millennials, then we have the perennials. Those that keep coming back, they have a lot of experience. They've been there before.
>>Gena Bertelsen (20:13):
Gena advises that people come in and come up to the desk and say, I'm way too young to be here, but my daughter has brought me here. And she'll say, well, how young are you? 94. And so she just likes to do some quick math and say, this is how many years you've missed out hanging out and having fun with us. Years and years ago, she remembers her grandparents going to the senior center to get cheese. Like the government would provide cheese for seniors and different commodities that way. That's not what it is anymore. She explains 10,000 people every day are turning 75 years old in America, so number one, if you think you're the lone ranger, you're not, and all of these people are looking for connections.
>>Devin Peterson (22:22):
Devin asks Gena ,to find that ongoing connection in the community, does she feel like a lot of her members of the Orem Friendship Center come every day, every week? How consistent are those that have really liked thrown themselves into being a part of a community?
>>Gena Bertelsen (22:39):
Gena advises she has about 90 volunteers and they are very, very consistent because they each have a purpose of what they take care of for her. She needs them and when you don't feel needed, where's your reason for living? In fact, the reason for living or even the reason for getting up in a lot of the studying she's been doing for the perfect vision, perfect happiness program, one of the things she's learned about was these groups in Japan. When you're born, you're not just born into your biological family, but you're born into a Moai and it is a group of people. They're not necessarily exactly your age, but they have your back. You go through life, this is your group. These are the people that have your back that will be there for you to celebrate or to cry but you do the same for them.
>>Gena Bertelsen (23:41):
She further explains that even in these groups, it's understood that if, let's say one of them won the lottery, it's understood that they split it with everyone in their Moai. It's not just for yourself. It's for this group. It's so strong. In fact, they were doing a study about the people who lived the longest, and they found these five different little epicenters across the globe. One of them was in Okinawa, Japan, and this little Moai that they were showing actually had 12 people still in it. The average age was 102, and they regularly get together, whether it's over a meal, which that's a great social experience. There's nothing more basic and traditional than breaking bread with somebody. Whether it's making or having a meal together or a shared activity or a hobby that they all enjoy or just visiting.
>>Gena Bertelsen (24:47):
She explains these are such important connections. So with the Moai they also have this term called Ikigai. And it is your purpose for getting up in the morning, your purpose for living. And it's something that you look at what you're good at, what you could make money out of or if you've retired, what you can share, what your passion is, and what the world needs. And when all of those things converge, the center of that is where you find what your Ikigai is. It was so beautiful to learn that. Now she wants to go to Japan.
>>Devin Peterson (25:33):
Devin thanks Gena for sharing and explains that's powerful. He advises finding connections and our families are all obviously very natural, but not always accessible so finding connections in our community on a consistent basis.
>>Gena Bertelsen (26:02):
Gena explains you become an expert in things and to share what you know.
>>Devin Peterson (26:14):
Devin shares a little bit of his own experience. He's taught a charitable giving class at your Gena's community for a few years there and so he's had hundreds of her members kind of come through her class and he's been able to interact with them a little bit on a different scale. He's been inspired by their willingness to take on a new thought process or a new process or think of things in a different way that we've absolutely been able to help some of those make some valuable changes. But as he thinks through a lot of the people that he's met there, he would actually label them as a Sage. Perennial Sage because he feels like when he thinks of the word sage, he thinks of someone who has experience that has wisdom, has a lot to give and there's a lot of people in those classes that he actually wishes he could sit down and have a few hour conversation with because there's a lot of experience and wisdom that he could absolutely learn. And I think a lot of folks unfortunately wait to be asked about that wisdom. So he would imagine if someone was given a task and an opportunity and a purpose to share that you'd mentioned you have 90 volunteers, that's a great opportunity. So on this topic of finding connection and community, as we're speaking to our listeners, he would say reach out and ask for a responsibility. Think about what you're good at and share what you're good at.
>>Gena Bertelsen (27:52):
Gena explains volunteering is a great way, number one, not only to increase your happiness but to find a connection. And you might find that whether it's a religious organization or other 501c3 type of organization. The Red Cross or United Way where you can volunteer and share some of your time that blesses so many people. It gives you that connection. She explains we get to a point where we retire and for years, maybe 30 or 40 years, we have had this work family that we're connecting with every Monday through Friday. When you retire, all of that's gone. She explains remembering reading one doctor saying that the two most difficult years in your life and most dangerous years are the year you're born and the year you retire because you lose those connections when you retire. So you really had to be conscious about going out and filling in that time with the things you want to be doing that are going to get you up in the morning.
>>Devin Peterson (30:04):
Devin explains he likes how Gena describes it as a dangerous time. He advises you need to find or reconnect to your relevancy, your purpose, to maintain that level of happiness throughout. He explains he speaks with people that are a few years into retirement and they seem to always have this aha, which is, Oh, retirement is not just about moving closer to the beach and reading more books and golfing more rounds. It's actually a lot different than I thought it would be, which is good that they're coming to that realization, but how great would it be if they could realize from day one, I need to maintain relevance, I need to maintain my connections and this is how I'm going to do it. I'm not going to unplug. I'm not going to totally disconnect for a couple of years while I move down to The Keys. But I'm going to stay connected and they can continue to have that.
>>Gena Bertelsen (31:02):
Gena advises it is investing in yourself and you kind of have to put yourself on your schedule in a sense. Make an appointment with yourself. This is what I'm doing for me. This is what keeps me connected, keeps me grounded. Keeps me social.
>>Devin Peterson (31:22):
Devin asked Gena to share a little bit more about your perfect vision, perfect happiness. What inspired her to create that program? What inspired her to create that and then give us like a few nuggets of the outcome that you perceive from that program?
>>Gena Bertelsen (31:48):
Gena explains that she's an idea machine so 2020 is synonymous with perfect vision and she sees a lot of her seniors that have lost that light and she wanted to give it back to them. She wants to find those claims of that little ember that's still there and let them know it kind of empowered them to be able to do this. She explains that they've talked a lot together as a group about setting goals that are a whole year long and a couple people said, yeah I wanted to finish my house by myself on my time. And this man, one of her patrons, it's incredible, he showed them pictures of this bathroom that he worked on for almost an entire year and he had taken these geodes and thousand year old coins and pieces, different kinds of wood and in the bathroom across from the throne because you know, I'm the queen, across from the throne he made this wall that is really this visually beautiful. And just the wall took him three months as he had been collecting these things throughout his life, but as he put them together as a puzzle to fit this wall, it was stunning. He did it all by himself and that was a goal for him. And she said, did you think about it every day? He said, well, yeah, I did. She said, did you work on it every day? He said, not every day, but I was still thinking about it. She said, was it worth it? And without fail, with every person that he had spoken about the goals they had set, everyone without fail said yes, it was worth it, they were worth it.
>>Gena Bertelsen (34:01):
Gena advises her biggest goal is that her kids are happy. She explains that she will feel as if she's done the best job she could as a parent if they are happy.
>>Gena Bertelsen (34:59):
Gena explains that throughout the week, each day something is added to it to help build that level of happiness. They're encouraging them. They've created pages that are journaling pages on Monday. She advised there's a space to write the best thing that happened in the last 24 hours every day. She explains that they have told them that every night she lays down in bed and thinks about what was the best part of my day. The best thing that happened and now your brain is focused on very positive things. Another component that they've put into this was writing down three things you're grateful for every day and not just writing down three things, but why are you grateful for those things and for the first month you can't double up. She also encourages doing a random act of kindness on a daily basis. She explains they give everyone three ring binders and every day they've got this paperwork and they're checking off what they're doing and it's just kind of guiding them through.
>>Devin Peterson (36:42):
Devin advises there's some absolute intention that has to happen every day. He explains one of the misbeliefs that we have is we deserve to be happy just because we're showing up every day in this world. Does that make you happy just to show up? He advises he thinks that this idea that we should be happy just because we're alive is kind of a misunderstanding because happiness is a muscle. He advises it's a skill that we learn that if we're not happy as we can, as we do a lot of these into positive intentions and activities that you're mentioning, we're kind of getting some muscle memory and learning how to be happy. Devin explains he loves that about Gena's program, that she's just creating space for people to create action and start moving towards being happier. So 2020, perfect vision, perfect happiness. He asked Gena for any additional thoughts before wrapping up.
>>Gena Bertelsen (38:37):
Gena advises she was making a presentation and talked a lot about the Ikigai and your purpose and she likened it to finding your own tribe when you're making these connections. She actually came up with a tribe, each letter can stand for something and the most important one that she can recall right now is the B in the word tribe. And that's just to be brave. It's hard to do something different. But once you're there and you make that connection and you realize you're needed, even if it's just you and your personality, you are a gift on this earth. Share that gift to them. Keep it all wrapped up, let us unwrap it and just let it bless the world. But be brave.
>>Devin Peterson (39:34):
Devin asked Gena to answer the question of what makes her feel alive and relevant even outside of what she's already shared.
>>Gena Bertelsen (40:07):
Gena explains she believes she was put on earth to make a difference for this generation. She takes that very, very seriously and puts a lot of thought and prayer into everything she does for them. She feels very guided that if she can make a positive difference in their life, if they walk out that door and they're grinning, she's done her job. That makes her feel alive.
>>Devin Peterson (40:58):
Devin tells Gena she is definitely full of life as she shows up for those perennials every day. Planting them. We love the pretty flowers. Devin thanks Gena for joining the podcast. He advises this has been a very valuable conversation for him to see his own happiness and connections in a new light and he's sure that many of our listeners out there are going to listen to this and they're going to pull something from this. It's going to stir up something within them that will encourage them to improve some of the connections that they currently have or seek to find and build a few more. Be brave. Reach out.

Did Chicago cast a shadow on the RSS?
Did protests at the World Hindu Congress force RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to opt for a conciliatory note at the RSS lecture series in Delhi that followed the Congress in Chicago?
The World Hindu Congress in Chicago between September 7 and 9 turned out to be a bit of a damp squib for the organisers (Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, World Hindu Council of America, Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh, Hindu Volunteer Corps, etc) despite India's Vice President Venkaiah Naidu attending the valedictory function and Prime minister Narendra Modi's message streamed live.
The event was also designed to commemorate Swami Vivekananda's speech at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago 125 years ago. The faithful were in attendance and one of the more prominent participants from India, Vivek Agnihotri claimed, "…I was present there on all days. All I heard were speeches on how to make this world better. There were ideas, solutions, challenges, learnings, insights, inspiration, enlightenment".
But others were not as impressed. Ameya Pawar, member of the Chicago City Council, tweeted, "I'm a proud Hindu and the first Indian American elected to the Chicago City Council. I am extremely disappointed and ashamed that @WHCCongress would invite speakers and organisations that promote discrimination, Islamphobia and Hindu nationalism. This is not who we are."
Raja Krishnamoorthi, the US Congressman from Chicago, attended the event but declared, "I decided I had to be here because I wanted to reaffirm the highest and only form of Hinduism that I have ever known and been taught—namely one that welcomes all people, embraces all people and accepts all people, regardless of their faith, including all my constituents. I reject all other forms. In short, I reaffirm the teachings of Swami Vivekananda."
Ajay Singh Bisht alias Yogi Adityanath, billed as a top speaker, withdrew. Three Hindu protestors managed to sneak in and shout slogans against the RSS just as Mohan Bhagwat was to embark on his speech. They were apparently assaulted and spat upon before getting thrown out of the venue.
"Mom, I am in love with Mohammad."
"Dad, I am in love with Jeniffer."
The pamphlets and brochures at the World Hindu Conference hinted at wild conspiracy against Hindus. One of the pamphlets, "Silent Holocaust of Hindus", published by a PhD scholar Dilip Amin, urged the community to ostracise inter-faith couples, as it featured a picture of Sharmila Tagore to drive home the point. It seems that 'love jihad' has found its way to the US.
Yet another account of the event, published in a well-known English weekly, said that even the boxes of sweets gifted to conference delegates were full of symbolic meaning. 'Soft laddus' signified what Hindus are, while the hard ones gave a sense of how they should be, according to this account.
"If a lion is alone, even wild dogs can destroy it," crowed Bhagwat, delivering a clarion call for Hindu consolidation and revival of dharma. Drawing inspiration from Swami Vivekananda's speech on September 11, 1893, Bhagwat, a keynote speaker, tried to impress upon the listeners the need for 'Hindu resurgence' and the fight for restoration of the "dharma."
While the Sangh Parivar premised the conference on the teachings of spiritual leader Swami Vivekananda, the controversial nature of the conference wasn't lost on many of the prominent invitees, including US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who withdrew from the event four months ago citing reluctance to get involved in India's "partisan politics." The jolt to the organisers (Sangh Parivar) was big, considering that she had been declared as the chairperson of the Congress last year.
Gabbard's withdrawal came after several progressive non-profits in the US, several of them advocating for Sikh and Dalit rights, raised objections over her participation.
In an opinion penned by Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D Raja, he questioned the drawing of parallel between the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and the ideology of the World Hindu Congress.
Wrote Raja, "How can any outreach be based on such a disdainful attitude and approach to a substantial section of society? It is ironic — and tragic — that in Chicago, where Vivekananda, in his mesmerising lecture delivered on 9/11, 1893, outlined the defining aspects of Hinduism in terms of tolerance, acceptance and interpretation of truth in a variety of ways, the RSS chief negated whatever the swami stood for."
In a letter that he wrote to the organisers, Prime Minister Modi said, "I particularly call upon the esteemed delegates of this conference to think about ways in which technology can connect more and more people with the thoughts of Hinduism."
The Prime Minister's cryptic call for religious consolidation, on the lines of the rhetoric of other speakers, seemed more like a BJP election speech than anything else. That's what the World Hindu Congress turned out to be, a platform to promote divisive political Hinduism ahead of 2019.

I want to inform. There's something particularly instinctive about seeing someone head towards an imminently dangerous situation and gut-reacting to leap forward and save them.
I've tried to tell people about what this danger is – however, the power and experience, of those who have conditioned us with their historical and cultural narrative, is so strong that it takes a very particular personal desire and capability to approach something that means you've effectively got to dismantle your understanding of the world (and hence your own psyche) and be open enough and prepared to revise your perspective at great potential emotional discomfort and upheaval. Effective psychological support is required for many to enter into this process.
The problem lies in that it is a life-long unravelling because we've been conditioned all our lives to assume a general cultural narrative.
Most people stay in their comfort zones – we've spent our lives perfecting ways to avoid conflict, upheaval and stress, sometimes these defenses actually drive us to create drama on purpose, but often without an effective emotional healing process and usually simply serves only to exacerbate our situation. It also means we will defend our viewpoint with vociferous anger when challenged. Likewise, we're creatures of inertia – we won't change until our personal cirucmstances force us to revise our outlook and approach diffcult personal aspects that we've adopted that are no longer useful.
So how did this occur in the fisrt place? How did we, as a poeple, become so very focussed on a narrow perspective of life?
I would posit that we are damamged as children, taught to bury our feelings and are denied our natural emotional healing process from trauma. Slowly, we sublimate this damage into our personality and become the creatures of habit, comfort and dysfunction. There is, also, the broader cultural influence always at work in the background and this broader culture has changed immensely in the 20th century, largely due to the developments in communication and the 'establishment's' understanding of crowd pyschology and manipulation and the shaping of the geo-political world in their favour.
The First World War was one of the greatest examples of propaganda usage to elicit a national/global movement towards war. This was near the beginning of a specific group known as the "Tavistock Institute" whose mission it was to slowly condition society to adopt a particular view or standpoint and act in a specified way. The intentions of this group, if not better understood, will show themselves to be pivotal in the slippery slide of our world into despotic, fascist chaos, from which will be born their idea of what the world should look like – and there'll be no stopping it or reversing it.
If you've never really been interested in history, now is the time to start to look and I would suggest you start here – just 17 minutes of your life to open the door to the REAL truth of what is going on. Part of this Tavistock exercise is to blur the truth, obfuscate it beyond the vision of most people and this mechanism, perfected and refined over 100 years. It is so insidious that it is shocking to acknowledge, but the power of this knowledge will free you from its effects, though perhaps not immediately, you'll be on the road to healing yourself from this intense trick of the mind that has left human-kind in turmoil for over a century and seeks to dominate us all in the future and make us all AGENTS who act unwittingly on their behalf.
I am no longer an agent of the power-dominance matrix, I have awoken to their trickery. Help yourself and all those you cherish by taking the time to understand this. All of this is available out there, it's just not the mainstream.

The CIO's job today isn't an easy one, with the changing role requiring new skills on top of old ones. But the silver lining is that the CIO has never been more relevant, say CIOs speaking last week on a panel held at identity management vendor Okta's San Francisco headquarters.
"You need anthropological skills," says Ralph Loura, vice president and CIO at The Clorox Company. "My marketing IT team comes out of the Jane Goodall school. They go out and observe marketing in the wild, understand what they're really trying to accomplish, and then come back with ideas on how to help."
This is a far cry from the good old days when an IT leader just needed to be good technologist. It used to be easy: ask users for requirements, take notes, do a waterfall-style project, deliver something at the end, and then do post-live fixes. You would nail it 80 to 90 percent of the time, Loura says.
If you didn't like the job, you could jump to another industry. It didn't really matter what your company did because the CIO's role was pretty much removed from the business. During the ERP craze, a CIO had to be good at project management. During the outsourcing trend, a CIO had to be good at vendor and contract management.
In fact, IT's history has been about highly technical integration of software and processes, a newly acquired company's IT systems and IT-related geographic expansions. It was about owning complex technology, assembling pieces, and hardwiring them to get a specific outcome.
CIOs still need to be top-shelf integrators, marrying pre-built solutions, cloud-based models, on-premise models to solve today's issues. This time, though, there's a business twist to integration efforts.
"Understanding what technology can do and explaining how that can help your business is probably the biggest part of the role," says Dan Willey, CIO at agricultural products distributor Wilbur-Ellis.
CIOs and IT people tend to isolate themselves and get stuck in the features and functions of technology. They don't not want to venture out to other departments and interact with marketing and sales folks who have great people skills. But this behavior cycle needs to be broken, say CIOs.

Encore Capital CIO Carl Eberling related that his company was developing an open-space floor for employees. Talking with the IT team, Eberling said, "It's going to be cool, kinda fun and hip." One of his directors replied, "Carl, do you see anybody that's fun?"
"Along the Goodall line, you have to embed people," Eberling says. "You really don't want to draw them into your kitchen; you want to spend time out in their world."
Adds Loura: "The CIO role is more relevant than ever, but only if you've transformed to being a co-collaborator and business partner in this idea of discovering value."

More respect for Iowa State football: Cyclones match highest national ranking ever
Iowa State will open the upcoming football season with an Associated Press ranking that matches the highest the Cyclones have had in a major poll at any point in the season.
Matt Campbell's team checked in Monday at No. 7 on the Associated Press' preseason poll, one place higher than last week's rating on the USA Today Coaches' poll, and one spot better than the program has ever enjoyed on the weekly rankings. His team reached seventh in Week 15 of last year's College Football Playoff poll.
Thus, what's been anticipated since the end of Iowa State football's terrific 2020 season, is reality.
"We realize the higher you go up the mountain, the more challenging that mountain can be, the harder it is to breathe, and the more precision you need the higher up you get," said Campbell, whose sixth season at Iowa State starts at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 4 against Northern Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium.
The surprise would have been the Cyclones not starting the season where they're starting. Campbell has a veteran team from the one that went 8-1 during Big 12 play in 2020, 9-3 overall, and beat Oregon in the New Year's Six Fiesta Bowl. For all those reasons, they finished last season ninth on both the final coaches' poll and AP polls, and 10th on the final College Football Poll.

"People outside out walls never would have expected this," linebacker Mike Rose said. "But being on the inside, it's no surprise. We do it the right way, come to work every day, and live the right way outside of our walls.
"We might not be the biggest and strongest guys, but we're going to play hard."
The Cyclones opened last season ranked No. 23 in the AP media poll, but quickly disappeared after a season-opening loss against Louisiana. They were Associated press preseason No. 20 in 1987, and 21st in 2019.
"We've lived in this world," Campbell said. "It's not like we just got good. We've been good for four years now."
Iowa State has won 19 of 27 Big 12 games the past three seasons. They're 24-14 overall during that time. They've played in four consecutive bowl games.
And now, the Cyclones have equaled their best ranking, based largely on the return of quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end Charlie Kolar, running back Breece Hall, veteran linebackers led by Mike Rose, a secondary that includes annual All-Big 12 safety Greg Eisworth, defensive end Will McDonald and what should be the best offensive line in school history.
"Preseason polls and stuff right now really don't mean a whole lot," Campbell said. "I think what we know what we have, is a veteran football team, and yet they have to earn the right to have the confidence to be a good football team."

Athletics director Jamie Pollard said last week that football season-tickets sales was a record 48,336. He estimated the number will increase well beyond 49,000, if the sale if Junior Cyclone Club season tickets matches 2019.
"Everyone knows we're good, and we feel like we're good," Hall said. "We feel like we're in this position for a reason. We've worked for it."
Iowa State was picked to finish second in the Big 12, behind Oklahoma. The teams play on Nov. 20 in Norman, Oklahoma.
"We certainly understand that there's a pathway to becoming the best," Campbell said. "But right now, you're talking about an Oklahoma team, and certainly some teams in this conference, that have tremendous football teams and tremendous players.
"I think what we've learned, is how we have to do it. That part's been a real fun journey for us."

The annual carnival of crazy crafts, daring-do, and even some athleticism returns when the Riverhead Cardboard Boat Race commences on the Peconic Riverfront in Downtown Riverhead next Saturday, August 13 (rain date August 20).
Registration is open through this Sunday August 7, but one doesn't have to participate to have a great time at this wild event.
Luck may not be with our local paddlers this year, as 2022 marks the 13th annual race (2020 was canceled due to COVID) which is on the 13th day of August. But boaters and spectators alike can hope the cardboard and duct tape watercraft remain seaworthy as their captains row for glory in various categories, including the always raucous Supervisor's Race, pitting the Southampton and Riverhead town supervisors against each other in a contest for town pride and bragging rights.
Before getting into all that, the rules are simple — but definitely require careful consideration if boaters want to be cleared for competition.
Boat construction is key, because anyone breaking the rules set by event officials will be disqualified before getting a chance to enter the water:
The event is called a Cardboard Boat Race for a reason! Boats must be no longer than 33 feet and constructed using corrugated cardboard only — no wax-covered cardboard and no weather-sealed cardboard. And absolutely NO SONIC TUBES, aka Sonotubes (the heavy-duty cardboard tubes used for molding concrete pylons and other cylindrical concrete forms). Wood, metal and wax are all forbidden materials.
The next key ingredient to any seaworthy, and legal, cardboard boat is duct tape, which is vital for protecting the cardboard vessel from becoming waterlogged. Choose any color duct tape, the brighter and more fun, the better.
Boat builders may use water-based glue only, such as Elmer's white glue or wood glue. Absolutely no epoxy or two-part glues will be permitted. And the event officials will check. Any paint must also be water-based, latex paint. No epoxy paints or varnishes will be allowed.
Each occupant of any watercraft will be allowed one single-sided paddle of any material — no double-ended paddles (as seen in kayaks) are permitted. Boats cannot have any sort of mechanical propulsion, this is all about man- and woman-power!
Finally, the fun part, all boats must have a name. They may be painted and lettered, and props and decorations are permitted and encouraged as long as these accoutrements do not add to the stability or buoyancy of the craft — this will be determined at the discretion of the almighty event officials, who have the final say in all matters.
As the organizers put it, "Get crafty and start paddling!"
Follow the rules using cardboard and duct tape, and see how far your boat can make it down the Peconic River.
And remember, if every boat were perfectly seaworthy, the race wouldn't be nearly as fun. Folks come to see participants flail about, tip over and sink, but they also come to watch the craftiest and best cardboard engineers and captains prevail against all odds.
Participants can register online for three primary race categories on Saturday, including the Youth Regatta (all crew ages 12 and younger), Grand National Regatta (all crew must be over 12), and Yacht Club Regatta (all-ages allowed onboard).
An Outlaw Division, which does not require prior registration, follows where all surviving crafts may compete in a second race to see who can stay afloat in one more heat.
And of course, the Supervisor's Race — where Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman will face Riverhead Supervisor Yvette Aguiar (or a champion sent in her stead, as was the case in 2021) — begins the festivities at 11 a.m.
Schneiderman, who won last year after sharing the 2019 title in a tie with previous Riverhead Supervisor Laura Jens-Smith, says he never received his 2021 trophy, so he's eager to get it back to its rightful home in Southampton this year.
"I haven't seen the trophy, but it's somewhere in Riverhead," he said this week, noting that he had "this big plan to build a new boat" this year, which probably won't come to fruition. "I have a garage full of cardboard, but I haven't built that boat, so I'll probably just use the boat I've used for the last two years," Schneiderman explained, adding, "It's done well."
Despite his winning effort last summer, and always having "a blast" racing, Schneiderman said, "The crowd tends to be biased toward Riverhead," so it would be good to see more supporters come up from Southampton.
"Sometimes I feel like the crowd isn't with me," Schneiderman laughed. "I still have fun, and it's really non-competetive. I get along really well with the Riverhead town supervisor," he continued, acknowledging that it's all in good fun, even if he ends up competing against another Aguiar replacement.
After all races conclude, and the winners are announced, special prizes will be handed out in a variety of additional boat building and performance award categories, such as Best Spirit, Titanic Sinking, People's Choice, Best Constructed (No Tubes), Commander's Choice, Best Captain, and Most Creative.
Hosted by the Riverhead Business Improvement District in conjunction with the Riverhead Chamber of Commerce, the day, which attracts participants from as far as Massachusetts and Virginia, will also offer, for the first time this year, music from DJ Allstar, ongoing announcements and play-by-play from emcee Mike MK, as well as the usual fun and games, including the annual hula hoop competition.
This is going to be a day not to miss!

Easy Way to Make Your Husband Comfortable At Home
Imagine how tired a husband is to be outdoors all day. Work that is not uncommonly stressful, then coming home comfortable and pleasant is the dream of every husband.
Togetherness in one roof is very important and cannot be trivialized. What a pleasure to be home.
How precious it is for a woman when she is always counting on you as a place of rest, a quiet place, in a quiet home. So give your husband a comfortable home. Comfortable physically as well as feeling. The whole family holds the key to making a comfortable home, actually.
But it doesn't do you, a wife and an exemplar for the children, who start first to make the house a comfortable place. Here are the tips.
1. Welcome your husband
Welcoming in a sense a good welcome. What happens if a husband who just comes home after a long day of work even welcomes you with a frowning and nagging face? Position yourself as someone who values someone who has worked hard for us and the children.
Smile when the husband comes home. A smile, in addition to giving you peace of mind, will also make your husband feel calm. At the very least, the fatigue will decrease if you know and the house is fine. Even if there is bad news, let me know later when your husband is fresh after bathing, already full of your delicious dishes. Tell us the bad news when each other's hearts are calm.
2. Decorated for husband
These tips don't require you to take care of yourself with expensive equipment let alone overuse. Simply dress properly, and keep the body clean. Maintaining body odor is also important. Most husbands instead like the scent of their wife's body that smells natural, rather than the scent of expensive perfume. So, just don't be lazy to take a shower. Make time for this. A clean, well-groomed body will also make you feel good, right?
3. Tidy up the house
This is what a physically comfortable home means. A clean house, and worth living in is the best of comfort. Handling household affairs, including tidying the house is the duty of a wife.
Hanging out with your loved ones in a neat home can improve the quality of togetherness. As a tidy, small house warmed by togetherness still feels comfortable, doesn't it? So look at the health and quality of life of husbands and children. Taking care of your husband's favorite items can also increase confidence that you can also take care of the household. There is nothing more enjoyable for a husband than having a caring wife.
4. Glorify your husband's family and guests
Think of your husband's family as his own family, where there are every flaw you don't like in your family, you embrace it, not hate it. Every time the husband's family comes to visit, greet him sincerely. So do guests. Sometimes there are people or friends of husbands that you don't like. You can't just behave badly to them because you don't like it. Be wise.
Be proud of your husband, a wife who is spoken of for her good, not her bad attitude. Imagine your husband always wants to hug you quickly because while chatting to his family and friends, he heard so much about how lucky he was to have you.
5. Sincerely accept the situation
Accept patiently and sincerely whatever shortcomings exist in the household, especially if the economic circumstances and the husband's work are erratic. A heart that is sincere in its circumstances will bring forth a good attitude as well. A wife who sincerely accepts the circumstances will usually sincerely give service to the husband. So be sincere in accepting your husband's shortcomings.
Wives who complain more usually husbands will not feel at home. Help each other, try to fix things together. Isn't the household an intact building that was also built by two people who agreed to build together? When household circumstances are difficult, it feels selfish to just complain and blame your husband. Just agreed to build a good household together, huh? Hopefully these tips can help.

MILAN — Safilo Group began the year on an upward trajectory but the coronavirus pandemic is impacting the Italian eyewear group's performance.
In the first two months of 2020, Safilo, which produces and distributes eyewear for brands including Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo and Moschino, recorded a positive mid-single-digit increase in sales. This was expected to flatten by the end of the first quarter, based on the preliminary data and information collected in early March, after the outbreak of the COVID-19 escalated in Italy. Once the coronavirus spread across Europe and the U.S., it dented Safilo's "economic activity, resulting in negative effects for the group's sales and earnings performance, which are today impossible to predict for the full year."
As a consequence, the 2020 outlook provided by Safilo last December in the context of the release of its Group Business Plan 2020-24, is no longer valid and, based on preliminary data, the company's sales are now expected to decline by 11 to 13 percent at constant exchange rates compared to the same quarter last year. The information was released at the end of trading on Monday in Milan, where Safilo is publicly listed.
Last month, Safilo reiterated its 2020 guidance of full-year net revenues in the range of 960 million to 1.0 billion euros and an adjusted EBITDA margin of some 6 percent of sales. While the figures include the impact of the Blenders acquisition (announced on Dec. 8), they did not include the effects of the purchase of Privé Revaux, which was signed on Feb. 10. These estimates also did not include the impact of the coronavirus spread.
The group also said it had "adopted all necessary measures to protect staff health and business continuity, including measures related to hygiene in all its facilities, remote working solutions for office staff and is actively working on continuity of supply chain operations."
Safilo stated that until today it had not been "significantly impacted on the supply side as sufficient stock levels at the end of 2019 granted the group the flexibility to face the temporary shutdown of its Chinese plant in Suzhou and the difficulties encountered by Chinese suppliers during January and February. Since then, the Chinese plant has reopened and is working at almost full capacity, while most of the key Chinese suppliers are also back to normal activity levels."
Safilo's management "has designed a mitigating action plan, focusing on minimizing discretionary expenditures and Capex, adjusting plans to the new consumption scenario and implementing an effective working capital and cash protection management."
Despite the uncertainties, Safilo "remains committed to continue pursuing the key strategies" outlined in its 2020-24 business plan.
These included growth through a customer-centric business model, powered by a digital transformation strategy, "preserving and enhancing our undisputed leadership in design, product development and innovation, our global commercial footprint and our strong know-how in brand management to continue pursuing a high-potential multisegment brand portfolio strategy," chief executive officer Angelo Trocchia said at the time.
As reported, in 2019 the Padua, Italy-based firm recorded a net loss of 4.0 million euros — compared to a 14 million euro net loss a year earlier — while net sales inched up 3.1 percent to 939 million euros.
In March, commenting year-end figures, Trocchia pointed to the success of Safilo's own collections — Carrera, Polaroid and Smith — as drivers of continued portfolio growth. He also touted the recently launched licensed collections David Beckham, Levi's and Missoni, and expressed confidence in the Tommy Hilfiger line.

Chad 'Ocho Cinco' Steps on his Dick…Again!
- Updated: November 22, 2008
Bengals Wide Receiver Told to Stay Home in 27-10 Loss at Pittsburgh
Some people never learn. Even when their team is going through a miserable season in which they were lucky to have the one win they can show for themselves, selfishness rises to the top. In the case of the Cincinatti Bengals, what could go wrong has gone wrong. Head coach Marvin Lewis somehow manages to keep his job as the inmates have run the asylum during his watch. The leader of the pack has been Chad Johnson…oh, excuse me…Ocho Cinco. It pains me to have to do that. On second though, screw him. I'll call him Johnson if he likes it or not!
While his antics may have been amusing in the past when the team was playing decent football, that act has gone cold mighty fast. Whatever the reason(s) why the attention-seeking Johnson was deactivated approximately 10 hours before a Thursday night kickoff, the fact of the matter is that he is a lightning rod for controversy. Is he talented? There is no questionof that, so to leave him out of a game where he could have made a difference is even more glaring.
What appears to have occurred is Johnson having a disagreement with one of the assistant coaches during a team meeting and him possibly walking out of the room. What makes this even more annoying is teammate John Thorton stating that Johnson "has done worse" in the past and didn't get suspended, and that Lewis was making a "statement" by doing so. The problem that I – and everyone else should – have with this is that if Lewis had done his job before and layed down the law, Johnson would have never dreamed of committing such insubordinate acts, if he even was still on the team.
Maybe this is just another prime example of why Lewis took so long to get a head coaching job in the NFL. He was being lauded as such a great defensive mind when he was on the staff of the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, and rightfully so. But to be the 'bad guy' and have to throw down the hammer is a totally different situation that being an assistant coach.

MTech portfolio company, Corvus Insurance, successfully raised a $100 million Series C financing in March of this year. The round was led by Insight Partners, with participation by all of the company's previous investors — Bain Capital Ventures, Hudson Structured Capital Management, MTech Capital, Obvious Ventures, .406 Ventures and Telstra Ventures. In May, Corvus raised an additional $15 million in a Series C financing extension, which welcomed new investors Aquiline Technology Growth and FinTLV.
Corvus is an MGA that sells technology-based cyber insurance products through brokers.
"This is a fast-growing market that is being exacerbated by the success of cyber criminals," said founder and CEO Phil Edmundson. Corvus' proprietary platform uses data and machine learning, and in one to five minutes can perform an analysis of a company's IT and software, Edmundson said. After the analyses, Corvus then evaluates, scores and prices a policy if the company qualifies.

Founding Partners
Several of these Founding Partners deserve special recognition. The Lilly Endowment made the launch possible with a generous grant. St. Matthews Baptist Church was the first partner to endorse officially and was also the initial host organization for the Academy. The Wayne E. Oates Institute assisted the Academy in the administration of two of our first programs. Peritus signed on not only as a partner but also as a business affiliate, serving as the marketing and public relations wing of Academy programs. The first institutional donor to the Academy was Rosemont Baptist Church, where the Academy of Preacher's founder, Dr. Dwight Moody, had served as interim pastor prior to launching the Academy of Preachers. Following the launch of the Academy, the Kentucky Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church was the first group to officially endorse the Academy.

Shortly after I wrote my first article on the relocation of Afghan interpreters to the UK in August 2021, a former Afghan interpreter reached out to me. Stuck in a third country for eight years as a refugee, he was awaiting resettlement in the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) introduced in December 2020. He told me that the British government had directed interpreters to contact the relevant embassies for support in their applications, yet he was initially met with silence despite multiple attempts at communication. Fortunately, two months later, I received the good news that he had reached the UK.
Despite how long he had to wait for relocation, he was one of the luckier ones because he made it out alive. While much international attention has all but shifted away from Afghanistan, thousands of people who worked alongside the British who are eligible for relocation to the UK under the ARAP are still in hiding in Afghanistan for fear of reprisal attacks by the Taliban or are refugees in third countries like Pakistan. So, by virtue of the assistance they offered the British, the lives of many Afghans remain at risk or in limbo.
As part of Refugee Week in the UK, the Southbank Centre hosted a talk on the 26 June entitled, "We Are Here, Because You Were There". With a panel including former Afghan interpreters Sara de Jong (co-founder of the Sulha Alliance) and Andy Barnham (photographer and former British Army officer), it was part of a wider project to share the stories of former Afghan interpreters. The Sulha Alliance is a charity that has campaigned for the resettlement of Afghan interpreters and other Locally Engaged Civilians (LECs) to the UK over the past few years and continues to support those relocated.
The problem that seems to be at the heart of the relocation policy is a lack of urgency on the part of the British government, which thus leaves Afghans in the lurch. Indeed, de Jong has repeatedly highlighted the flaws of the resettlement processes. She described one "absurd situation" in which a young family's passports were in the British Embassy, and their resettlement had been arranged, but they were told to wait for their newborn's passport and thus were caught up in the evacuation. Incidents like this led de Jong to feel that she could not actually imagine many families making it to the UK safely. Similarly, in an article published by The Guardian, de Jong suggested that the "slowness and unresponsiveness" of the ARAP team left applicants in fear and that the application process should be "expedited" and applicants "given clear timelines."
The suffering of Afghan interpreters and their families is by no means a thing of the past, and the government has to do more to support those newly arrived in the UK and those still stuck in Afghanistan or third countries.
But issues with this scheme are not limited to when the applicants are in third countries or in Afghanistan. The extent to which local authorities give support to resettled Afghans and their families appears to be a postcode lottery. Andy Barnham described how there was a "gap in the UK system" where people live in an "indefinite limbo." He recalled one former interpreter who, after six months in the UK, remained in temporary accommodation that limited the extent to which he felt at ease to commit to work or his children's education when he could be moved without much notice. Another former interpreter described at the talk how he had to share one bedroom with his whole family and was not given bedding on arrival. As refugees, these families have seen and experienced terrible things, making the UK a safe space for them. But they should not be left wanting for necessities and security, rendering them in a state of mental unease that makes the daily tasks of living difficult.
Another scheme, alongside ARAP, was introduced in January 2022 to support the resettlement of Afghans to the UK. Called the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), it prioritises people in Afghanistan who have assisted the British, campaigned for values such as democracy and women's rights and vulnerable groups at risk such as women and girls, minorities and the LGBT+ community. It aims to resettle over 5,000 people within the first year, increasing to up to 20,000 in the future. Time will tell if this proves to be successful or if it will be laden with the same inadequacies as ARAP.
The flaws of ARAP and British local authorities in caring for Afghans have become almost wholly unjustifiable in light of the differential treatment that the government and the general public have shown towards Afghans compared to Ukrainians. To be clear, both Afghans and Ukrainians are deserving of British support, but so much attention has shifted from the former to the latter even though the British were directly involved in the events that led to the vulnerability of Afghans. The controversial government scheme to send asylum seekers who have entered the UK illegally to Rwanda for processing initially embodied this double standard. Prime Minister Boris Johnson had said in May that sending Ukrainian refugees to Rwanda was "simply not going to happen". Although Johnson would later backtrack on this in June, this initial remark seems to suggest that the government considered it unthinkable for Ukrainian refugees to be treated this way, but not for refugees from other countries, like Afghanistan.
The government also launched a scheme in March 2022 called "Homes for Ukraine" to allow individuals and organisations to register their interest in becoming sponsors, giving Ukrainians houses or a spare room for at least six months. By April, 200,000 people had signed up for the scheme. In contrast, the government's "Afghanistan Housing Portal" scheme included the essential criteria that the property must have no shared facilities and that it had to be available for at least 12 months, which makes giving a home to an Afghan a far greater commitment than to a Ukrainian, thus limiting the pool of potential sponsors. The plight of Ukrainians has also become a more widespread source of public sympathy than the plight of Afghans, with Ukrainian flags flying on countless streets and symbols of solidarity worn as pins. This is despite the fact that the Taliban have confirmed some Western fears regarding their ongoing human rights record, particularly regarding the prevention of girls receiving an education and women returning to work, casting even greater doubts on their legitimacy to rule.
In sum, then, the suffering of Afghan interpreters and their families is by no means a thing of the past, and the government has to do more to support those newly arrived in the UK and those still stuck in Afghanistan or third countries. While Ukrainian refugees deserve support and relocation equally as a matter of principle, Afghans cannot be forgotten. To abandon the Afghans who served alongside the British and not fully support those who have relocated to the UK would merely represent another moral failing after the hasty departure from Afghanistan that left vulnerable people stranded in a precarious position.

Pedri (6,721 votes) finished slightly above second placed Ronald Araujo (5,941), with Ter Stegen coming third, Gavi fourth and Ousmane Dembélé fifth. Some 22,000 fans cast their votes in the .cat, .es, .com and .fr domains. Pedri shines through injuries Pedri was the fan favourite despite missing a large chunk of the season through injury. Indeed, his return had a lot to do with the 15-match unbeaten streak in the league, including the famous 4-0 win at the Santiago Bernabéu. Become a Culer!

Register for free Maybe it is no coincidence that Europa League elimination to Eintracht Frankfurt came precisely on the day that Pedri got injured again and sat out the rest of the season. With Pedri on the pitch, Barça won 83.3% of their 12 games, but in the 26 games where the Canary Islander was missing, they only won 42.3%. Figures that speak for themselves? Season stats Pedri ended 2021/22 having made 22 competitive appearances, 19 as a starter. He scored five goals and gave one assist, and aside from a brilliant display at the Bernabéu, he was also particularly outstanding in the games away to Galatasaray and at home to Sevilla, scoring great goals in both. The one against Sevilla was actually picked as the best goal of La Liga 2021/22.
