Hug for Carolyn a. k. a. "Bink"
November 12, 2013
When Fritz Ottenheimer was asked what the most terrifying experience in his life was he didn't have to think long.
- Kristallnacht, literally, "Night of Crystal," is often referred to as the "Night of Broken Glass." The name refers to the wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms which took place on November 9 and 10, 1938, throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia recently occupied by German troops.
- Instigated primarily by Nazi Party officials and members of the SA (Sturmabteilungen: literally Assault Detachments, but commonly known as Storm Troopers) and Hitler Youth, Kristallnacht owes its name to the shards of shattered glass that lined German streets in the wake of the pogrom—broken glass from the windows of synagogues, homes, and Jewish-owned businesses plundered and destroyed during the violence.
Ottenheimer and three other Holocaust survivors, Yolanda Willis, Shulamit Bastacky, and Solange Lebovitz, were acknowledged during the interfaith Kristallnacht memorial service at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
Ottenheimer was 13 on November 9-10, 1938, when, across the Third Reich, 267 synagogues were burned, 700 Jewish businesses were looted, 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and 91 Jews met death.
Early in the morning of November 10 a synagogue was blown up near his home. A few hours later there was a knock on the door. Two Gestapo were there to arrest his father.
"How could that happen?" he wondered. His father had committed no crime. "We did not know what was happening to us. I felt hurt, helpless, hopeless. I wondered: Would they come for us?"
Later he learned it was not just a local activity, but a well-run national pogrom.
"Being Jewish was the crime in Germany on Kristallnacht," Ottenheimer said.
Ottenheimer considers his family to be lucky.
"My father was taken to Dachau Concentration Camp …but was released in a month. He was very sick. His recovery took a month."
"Six months later we got permission to come th the United States. Three and a half months later World War II broke out, bringing the Holocaust."
Six years later Ottenheimer graduated from high school. Enlisted in the military, and was sent to Europe for the final thrust against Germany.
In the 75 years that have passed since Kristallnacht Ottenheim has often wondered how the world and Germany would react to Kristalnacht and later events.
"I'm reminded of what Martin Luther King said: 'In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemy but the silence of our friends.' When people are being harmed we must become involved. To be a bystander is to be an accomplice."
During the service University professor James Paharik said "We at Seton Hill are convinced we should never forget."
As my husband, our friend Claudette, and I were leaving the University we provided a woman a ride down the hill to the parking lot.
Carolyn (a. k. a. "Bink") told us that towards the end of the service she walked to the front of St. Joseph's Chapel and presented a white flower to the four Holocaust survivors (we were not seated in a spot where we observed this).
"I was told this had never been done before," she said.
The first Seton Hill University service commemorating Kristallnacht occurred in November 1987. The University has marked the anniversary of the Night of Broken Glass annually since then.
The first service marked the establishment of the University's National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education.

The HOLOCAUST category on CAROLYN'S COMPOSITIONS includes the story of Robert (Bob) Mendler, a Nowy Tag survivor who lived in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and was very involved in the Seton Hill University Holocaust program. He died Dec. 10, 2010.

Welcome to the Crawl
Before you start, make sure someone gives The Schpeel to your group.
Also, remember these conversation tips: 1) Be polite, and don't take offense, 2) Say something if you don't understand, 3) Ask "why" and speak up if you disagree (It's not rude, its just a good conversation). Now, order a drink and start unpacking the deep mysteries of the universe!
The Main Questions
- In your own experience, how have your viewed Christianity's treatment of women? What are some negative perceptions your have? Are there any positive perceptions?
- Look at the section below labeled "Texts of Terror." Ask someone to summarize a passage if you are unfamiliar with it.
- What is your response to these? What specifically is troubling about them?
- Are there any redeeming pro-women passages or themes within Scripture?
- Do you see the Bible and Christianity's legacy as liberating or repressive for women? Is this a result of the text itself, its interpreters, or both? Explain.
- How would you define feminism?
- Look at the section below labeled "Types of Feminism."
- Do you see any Christian ideas or values reflected in the various forms of feminism? What are they
- Do you seen any ways in which Christian ideas oppose/react to the various forms of feminism? What are they
- What are some of the most important issues facing women today?
- What values/ideas/resources does Christianity have that help to address modern issues faced by women?
- What actions can/should Christians take to address these issues? How are these actions expressions of the Christian story?
Look at the section below labeled "Egalatarian Complementarian Debate"
- Where do you see yourself falling one this spectrum? Why?
- Pick a perspective you do not align with personally. Why might someone argue this perspective
Texts of Terror
Phyllis Trible argues that the Bible contains several "texts of terror." These stories of abuse, exploitation, and violence against women expose the misogyny of patriarchal biblical cultures, and their lack of comforting resolution leaves uneasy questions for people of faith. Below are a few examples.
- Genesis 16:1-16 // Hagar, a slave, is used, abused, and then rejected by God's chosen family.
- Judges 19:1-30 // A concubine is raped by a mob, murdered, then dismembered by her master.
- 2 Samuel 13:1-22 // The princess Tamar is raped by her half-brother then discarded and left desolate.
- Judges 11:1-40 // Jephthah kills his only daughter due to a foolhardy vow he made to God.
TYPES of Feminism
- Liberal Feminism // This kind of feminism works within the structure of mainstream society to integrate women into it and make it more responsive to individual women's rights, but does not directly challenge the system itself or the ideology behind women's oppression. The suffragist movement is an example.
- Radical Feminism // Radical feminism views patriarchy and sexism as the most elemental factor in women's oppression – cutting across all others from race and age to culture, caste and class. It questions the very system and ideology behind women's subjugation. The term often refers to the women's movements emerging from the civil rights, peace and other liberation movements.
- Black Feminism (Womanism) // School of thought which argues that sexism, class oppression, gender identity and racism are inextricably bound together The way these concepts relate to each other is called intersectionality.
- Marxist/Socialist Feminism // Feminists, grounded in Marxist and socialist analysis, attribute women's oppression principally to the capitalist economic system where global corporate power prevails.
- Eco-Feminism // This form of feminism views patriarchy and its focus on control and domination not only as a source of women's oppression but as being harmful to humanity as well as destructive of all living creatures and the earth itself.
- Transnational/Global Feminism // This approach to feminism is concerned mainly about how globalization and capitalism affect people across nationalities, races, ethnicities, genders, classes, and sexualities and has reinforced a range of global movements.
- Visionary Feminism (Womanism) // The notion of visionary feminism, as seen in the many writings of the African-American feminist, bell hooks, combines the need to challenge patriarchy, class, race and other forms of oppression such as imperialism and corporate control. She also focuses on love and the role of men.
Definitions adapted from We Rise, "Different Kinds of Feminism"
Egalitarian-Complementarian DEbATE
Within the evangelical world, the power relationship between women and men often fall into a debate between an egalitarian perspective on gender roles or a complementarian perspective. The below chart outlines a bevy of options around these two perspectives.
|Roles in Church
|Roles in Home
|Roles at Work
|Strong Complementarian
|Moderate complementarian
|Some differences
|Some differences
|Soft Complentarian
|Moderate Egalitarian
|Same in theory
|Strong Egalitarian
|Extreme Feminism
Chart from excerpted from Adrian Warnock, "Gender: complementarian Vs Egalitarian Spectrum"
- As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church // 1 Corinthians 14:33-35
- But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. // 1 Corinthians 11:3
Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. // Philippians 3:14
- Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored. // Titus 2:3-5
- There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. // Galatians 3:28
Thoughts from Others
- Thus, it seems that through imprecise translation, our understanding of the powerful words used originally to describe Eve's role have been diminished… Suppose we had all been taught to understand Genesis 2:18 as something like the following, "It is not good that man should be alone. I will make him a companion of strength and power who has a saving power and is equal with him." // Beverly Campbell
- Although we cannot answer all questions about the specific situation Paul was addressing in Corinth, we do conclude that he was addressing a specific situation rather than making a general prohibition on women speaking in church. His intent was to prohibit disruptive and disrespectful questions and comments that were part of the chaotic Corinthian meetings—and in Corinth, these particular practices were coming from the women. // Joseph Tkach
- Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the Cradle and last at the Cross. They had never known a man like this Man – there never has been such another. A prophet and teacher who never nagged at them, never flattered or coaxed or patronized; who never made arch jokes about them; who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension; who took their questions and arguments seriously; who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be feminine or jeered at them for being female; who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend; who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious. There is no act, no sermon, no parable in the whole Gospel that borrows its pungency from female perversity; nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything "funny" about woman's nature. // Dorothy L. Sayers
- The current demographic shift in world Christianity should be analyzed as a women's movement based on the fact that even though men are typically the formal, ordained religious leaders and theologians, women constitute the majority of active participants. // Dana L. Robert

BAKKER MADE WITH LOVE - suitcases and school satchels
We have just restocked our collection of bakker made with love childrens suitcases. We just love these fun, retro style suitcases here at French Blossom. We made sure to get more sky blue, fushia and red childrens suitcases but we also added a lovely navy blue variety which has a white aeroplane motif on the front.
These suitcases are perfect for so many different occassions. The different sizes to choose from mean you can either go for small, medium, large or even extra large, depending on the trip you are taking. Maybe the medium size will be great for a day trip but for a summer holiday, the extra large is the best option.
We even found several of our customers took a fancy to these bakker made with love suitcases for themselves, not just their children! The suitcases look really cool as a piece of hand luggage but they look equally great as a piece of room decoration or storage case for your childrens soft toys.

Anthem Tells Woman Oncologist Is In Network, Then Reverses Course
Photo by Heidi de Marco/KHN
Tammy Oliver was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in 2015. Her doctors told her there was not much they could do, but she started new medications and hoped for a miracle, WTHR reports. The injection Oliver started receiving was around $9,000 a month.
Tammy Oliver and her husband Pastor Brent Oliver had switched insurance plans that year and he worried whether his wife's doctors would be in network. Oliver contacted their insurer, Anthem, who said the doctor's office was in fact in network. Then, he received a call from Tammy's doctor's office:
"Their office called and said, 'You're aware that your insurance company...we are not in-network with them?'" the staff person told him.
"No. I already checked that out...you are," Pastor Oliver responded.
She confirmed, "No...you're not."
Brent Oliver replied, "They (Anthem Insurance Staff) said you are!"
The Olivers went back and forth with Anthem and the doctor's office. Anthem admitted it made a mistake in originally stating that Tammy's doctor was in network. Anthem said the Olivers owed $9,500 for the injection and visit.
"That's not what your website said, that's not what our representative told me," Pastor Oliver said. "There's no question they told me wrong"
Anthem has continued to refuse the nearly $10,000 bill, despite originally telling the Olivers they would be covered. Oliver continues to appeal the bill. The Olivers have since opted out of the Anthem plan and are now insured by a plan that covers their chosen oncologist.
In the end, the Olivers were fortunate, as Anthem agreed to pay the claim and Tammy's latest scans showed no cancer. Regrettably, many consumers are not so lucky.

Employees Compensation Insurance coverage And Business Insurance coverage
Kentucky Fried Hen do certainly have fairly quite a bit to reply for. Here in 'merrie olde' England they promote their produce as a hundred% British which defeats the aim of their title Okay.F.C. It's best to only have time period insurance coverage protection EVER. After your savings account reachs the amount of insurance you at current have, you no longer want any. Couples: That is for 2 adults, who reside on the similar handle and are in a relationship.
If you don't have the realm, or have not acquired the transport for pickup/provide, then you might make money organising an ironing service where you go to their home and do the ironing there for them. On this foundation they'd be booking you for explicit timeslots. You'd flip up on the time agreed and iron what they need you to iron till each their booked time is up (possibly they need you for an hour or two), or till you have reached the underside of the pile. There'll most likely be a great deal of individuals who see this as a higher ironing service than one the place they've to attend in for you to accumulate/drop off, or they have to deliver/gather the objects from you.
I like the technical side of the article. I'm for the time being a captive agent working for a serious insurance coverage agency. Attempting to possibly beginning my very own firm. If you find yourself a captive agent, there could also be numerous business that leaves your doors due to worth. Regardless of how a lot you sugar coat the protection, on this hyper competative market the value will always win. So having your individual firm and being able to offer various totally different prices, helps you retain the client.
Whereas all of us wish to get away from all of it, accidents do occur – as well as medical funds, journey insurance coverage covers, delays, lost objects and thefts. All these can show costly when you're not appropriately insured. Be sure you learn the Automotive Insurance coverage coverage protection booklet for extra data on any advantages, limitations and exclusions that will apply to your cowl. Date, declare worth and accident type for any accidents or claims throughout the remaining 5 years. We will change any youngster seats which might be fitted to the automobile on the time of an incident, even if you can't see any damage. You possibly cannot be too careful collectively together with your valuable cargo.
As beforehand talked about there are insurance coverage companies that don't current safety for a preexisting condition in a world space. In case you might have a condition previous to your departure to Europe, you have consulted a health care provider and are already on therapy and you have got determined to journey in a foreign country, in a Schengen space, on this case, you aren't vulnerable to any medical value alleviations via your insurer. Nonetheless, if one is proclaimed fit to journey having the condition under management, mostly the journey insurance coverage is must cowl an sudden emergency related to the scenario when travelling in a world area, an acute onset of the preexisting condition.

Isn't is amazing how our brains work? Something like 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts a day if you believe everything you read. Apparently a lot of these thoughts are said to be negative but I would like to believe otherwise. In fact I want my reality to be that my thoughts are mainly positive and a great deal creative! Like most things in life these ideals are a work in progress, she writes, smiling.
In actual fact I have been smiling a lot this week. It's been a big and tiring week as school went back after a great summer holiday. But as I finished up my first year 12 lesson I was smiling. Very pleased indeed. I have the privilege of teaching a lovely group this year who are thoughtful, creative and mature. As they have worked on their exploration proposals over the holidays they have cemented their thoughts and directions for their artwork for 2012. During the lesson I encouraged them to speak about these ideas and so a great discussion and exploration ensued. We meandered through themes, subject matter, media and occasionally wandered of into the world of "teenagerness". It was a brainstorming session, a development session and a brilliant time of clarifying progress.
Encouraging students to talk about their art (and others artwork) was not always at the forefront of my mind. I always knew it was a good thing to do and I love to talk…especially about all things creative and art wise, but have been hesitant to really allow it in my classes; wanting to stay in control etc etc. What has prompted me was chatting with a fellow art teacher last year whose exact words I cannot recall, I just remember the light bulb moment of the conversation. I remember thinking how I must keep up those discussions, and lo and behold, having done that I can see a definite improvement in vocabulary, ideas and confidence too.
The other situation that spurred me on to encourage my students to really discuss their work and ideas with each other was another fellow teacher who said "speaking out thoughts gives the thoughts life". Wow, that wasn't a light bulb, that was a bomb shell! As a Christian I have long-held the knowledge (and belief) that words matter and have power, but I was a little surprised at my reaction. But this lovely lady is so right! Speaking out our thoughts gives life to the thoughts and then they don't often go away. I suppose this is a good thing if the thoughts are positive and creative. One doesn't want to lose those thoughts. It's just the negative ones, that hopefully we really don't have too many of, that we want to forget.
So why was I smiling as I finished up the class? Because one particular student said at the end of all the discussions and chatting, "thank you, that was really helpful". And she will go away inspired to pursue her ideas further and begin her discovery of making great artwork. I am so glad that our discussions have given life to her thoughts.
Here is some inspired work that began as mere thoughts and now have life in visual form. They began as a conversation about the Urban Landscape and using the iPad as an art tool. Now, there's a future post – iPad art?!
What thoughts do you want to give life to? Positive and creative? Let me know.

I drew a muzzleloader mule deer tag for the desert in December!
I drew this tag a couple years ago, but got unlucky on the one great buck we found. I hope to capitalize on my previous knowledge, and get some more great help from the Scott brothers of Southwest Hunting Adventures. This is one of those classic glassing-intensive/spot-n-stalk hunts that I love.
Did anyone else draw a deer or sheep tag?

Growing non-performing loans apparently challenge the banking sector's stability by raising the cost of capital for the private sector and limiting credit flows to industries and SMEs, said a business leader.
Osama Taseer, president of the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), made the remarks while speaking at a dialogue titled "Monetary Policy Statement: Implication on Private Sector" at the DCCI auditorium on Saturday. The chamber organised the discussion.
"The NPL is coming down," said Fazle Kabir, governor of Bangladesh Bank, in response. He said it came down 10.29 percent as of November 15, 2018, according to a statement of the DCCI yesterday.
The NPLs accounted for 11.45 percent of the total outstanding loan as of September 2018. Kabir urged banks to be watchful of credit quality and monitor to see whether loans are being utilised properly.
Mahmood Osman Imam, a professor of finance at the University of Dhaka, said good borrowers were suffering because of the increase in NPLs.
Taseer listed other challenges facing the economy, saying capital flight, weak exchange rate, unstructured capital market, slimming foreign direct investment inflow, unemployment, negative trade balance, and a lack of export diversification may hold back the desired private sector growth and economic mobility.
He said the recent Monetary Policy Statement (MPS) of the central bank looks cautionary.
However, its salient features may enrich the private sector credit flow and boost industrialisation and job creation, resulting in expected GDP growth in the current fiscal year, he said.
The features include unchanged advance-deposit and cash reserve ratios, 6 percent repurchase agreement (repo), 4.75 percent reverse repo, 16.50 percent private sector credit growth, 10.9 percent public sector credit growth, and 15.90 percent domestic credit growth targets.
The governor said as the private sector was the engine of economic growth, the central bank always focuses on increasing private sector credit growth.
"The MPS is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals agenda," he said, adding that the BB was always supportive of the country's creative entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium enterprises.
On the higher rate of interest on national savings certificates, Kabir said the tool was designed for small investors as part of the social safety net and was a pension fund for the private sector undertaken directly by the government.
Waqar Ahmad Choudhury, senior vice-president of the chamber, while presenting his keynote paper, said the MPS was considered as a catalyst for private sector growth.
The MPS has focused on 7.8 percent GDP growth, targeted to keep inflation under 5.6 percent, encouraged bond market development, and set private sector credit growth target at 16.5 percent.
All of these are positive for attracting private sector investment, Choudhury said.
He also said the rise in non-food inflation and purchasing power may push inflation to 6 percent. The public sector credit growth reached 13.30 percent from a negative 2.50 percent.
"This growth trend may shrink the space of desired growth of the private sector credit."
MA Baqui Khalili, a former professor of finance at the University of Dhaka, said the BB should carry out a study on the monetary policy's impact.

2017's Equal Pay Day falls on 10 November, the date from which women effectively work for free for the rest of the calendar year.
Ann Francke, chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute, said:
Equal Pay Day for all women is 10 November, but falls earlier in the year the higher up the career ladder you go. According to CMI's research, there's a 27% gender pay gap among the UK's 3.3m managers, where men outnumber women three to one. The lack of progress for women into more senior roles is one of the biggest causes of this pay gap. There's a huge prize for businesses that get this right, because equal representation of men and women could add £150bn to the UK economy in the next 10 years.
Transparency is a great driver for change. We urge the 98% of businesses that have yet to publish their pay gap data under the new government regulations to step up and put plans in place to fix the issue.

Shuffleboard is lesser known than all of the other types of game tables so its terminology is often times confusing. One term that I've often heard during a shuffleboard game is "plowing". I decided to do some research on what this means in terms of shuffleboard.
Plowing in shuffleboard refers to the puck making a trail in the shuffleboard wax as the puck collects it sliding down the table. It is a very common problem in the game of shuffleboard and can be prevented.
Shuffleboard Wax
Before a game of shuffleboard it's best that players apply a layer of wax to the table to help the pucks slide on the table better and prevent friction between the table and the puck. This helps it go farther and helps to protect the surface of the table wood.
Shuffleboard wax is the same thing as shuffleboard powder, dust, and even cheese. What it is is a bunch of tiny silicone beads usually mixed with some sort of powder like cornstarch to help them stay on the table. Different mixtures make it more slick.
There are many different types of shuffleboard wax and most of them are separated by grades. Grades are what tell the player how fast their pucks are going to slide. You can also use a mixture of waxes on your table to create your own ideal surface.
If you're playing on a shorter table then you'll want to use a slower wax. Slower wax is going to have a lower grade while fast wax is going to have a higher grade. Grades range from 1-7 but can vary depending on the brand you buy.
Fast wax is used for the longest tables (up to 22 feet long) or for more experienced players. It can be hard to get used to the slipperiness of your shuffleboard table and you could potentially cause damage if your puck goes too fast. Often times it flies over the playing surface and bangs into the edge of the alley of the table making dings in the wood.
What Causes Shuffleboard Plowing
Plowing can be a pain to deal with because the build up of wax against your puck can cause it to slow down. So how can you prevent it from happening? There are a couple of reasons your pucks could be plowing through the shuffleboard wax.
- Too much wax: If you're an inexperienced player you might not know how much wax is appropriate to put onto your table. You want to add just enough wax to cover the whole table lightly. If you add too much wax the your puck will end up plowing it over.
- Cheap pucks: The most common reason pucks plow through the shuffleboard wax is because the pucks aren't designed correctly. A good quality puck is going to have rounded sides on the bottom of the puck. This helps to keep the silicone beads in the wax underneath of the puck. A cheap puck is going to lack those rounded sides and are going to be in the shape of a hockey puck. The lack of direction given by the rounded sides are going to cause the silicone beads to not go under the puck but around the sides of the puck causing a trail through the wax.
- Clumped up wax: Another common reason for plowing to occur is when your wax has clumped up. This happens when a player applies their wax to their board when it is wet with something. Shuffleboard tables can become wet during the shuffleboard table cleaning process. Once in a while you'll want to give your table a deep clean and an extra wax. People use liquid cleaners, liquid wax, and silicone sprays to give it the best look. If you don't wait until your table is completely dry before applying the playing wax to your table it will start to clump up and it won't be as slippery as it should be.
- Too much moisture in wax: Sometimes when players store their wax in their basements, near a window, or any other place that has a lot of moisture then that moisture gets into the wax container and clumps it up. Keeping your wax in a dry storage area away from the open air will help to keep it in a good condition.
- New finish on table: Another thing that sometimes happens is a lack of grip on the surface. This happens when the owner of the shuffleboard table has just applied a new finish to the table and it becomes too smooth for the wax to stay on the table. If you've just applied a new finish to your table and your wax isn't gripping the wood as good you just need to add a little wear to the surface. Most people do this by very lightly sanding the top of of the shuffleboard to give it some texture.
Related Questions:
Can You Reuse Shuffleboard Wax?
You can technically reuse shuffleboard wax but if you do you don't want to do it too often. After excessive use the silicone beads can chip and potentially scratch and damage both the table and the puck.
Often times during a tournament a player will pick up the wax from the gutters of the table and put it onto the playing surface. This is because players aren't allowed to re-wax the surface during a game but this is allowed. As long as the wax is from the wax at the beginning of the match it shouldn't cause damage to your table.
How Do You Clean a Shuffleboard Table?
Cleaning your shuffleboard table is a relatively easy process. Most of the times dirt gets trapped underneath your wax and gets into the shuffleboard wood. The first thing you want to do is get rid of most of the shuffleboard wax by using a wiper.
After this most people just use a mixture of water, oil, and vinegar to wipe their tables off. The vinegar pulls the dirt from your board while the oil moisturizes the table at the same time. Most people also do a waxing routine after their table is cleaned.

ATOM Project Honourary Ambassador addresses UN General Assembly Special Session
September 8, 2018
NEW YORK – The ATOM Project Honorary Ambassador Karipbek Kuyukov addressed a special Sept. 6 session of the United Nations General Assembly devoted to the International Day against Nuclear Tests.
"Today is a very important day in my life, and I am grateful to everyone who gave me the opportunity to speak before you today. My voice sounds on behalf of all the survivors and dead victims of nuclear weapons. All that you will hear today will be another reminder of the bitter experience of Kazakhstan, which has experienced all the horrors and pain of nuclear tests," Kuyukov told the session.
Kuyukov is among more than 1.5 million Kazakhs impacted by more than 450 nuclear weapons tests conducted by the Soviet Union at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in what is now the territory of Kazakhstan.
The site was shut down Aug. 29, 1991 at the direction of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev. In 2009, the United Nations established, at Kazakhstan's initiative, Aug. 29 as the annual International Day against Nuclear Tests.
Kuyukov was born 100 km from the nuclear test site. He was born without arms as a result of his parents' exposure to weapons testing. He has overcome that challenge, however, to become a renowned artist and internationally recognised nuclear disarmament activist. He has devoted his art to capturing the images of nuclear weapons testing victims and his life's work to ending the nuclear weapons threat.
"A thousand families, ethnic Kazakhs living on the land allocated for the test site, have become hostages of radiation exposure. For the first atomic test, military builders were preparing the so-called experimental field. A nuclear charge was installed in the epicentre of the field. The following equipment was installed not far from the epicentre: military equipment, tanks, aircraft and armoured cars. In many shelters erected, experimental animals – sheep, pigs, dogs, and, of course, people who lived and worked near the nuclear test site for 40 years, were placed there while nuclear explosions were conducted on it. All this was prepared in order to determine the power of the destructive force of the nuclear explosion. My family still remembers how our house was shaken when a radiation wave from another explosion passed under us," Kuyukov told the gathering.
Kuyukov is The ATOM Project Honorary Ambassador. ATOM is an acronym for "Abolish Testing. Our Mission." The project is an international effort launched in 2012 to permanently end nuclear weapons testing and seek elimination of all nuclear weapons.
"The efforts of President Nursultan Nazarbayev in this sphere find understanding and support from the world community. By his decree on closing the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, he showed everyone that Kazakhstan has chosen the path of peace and goodness, and that this is a worthy example for other countries," he said. "Only by joint efforts are we able to achieve a complete ban on nuclear testing … We must take the most bitter lessons in the history of the consequences of nuclear testing and strive for the total elimination of nuclear weapons."
He specifically called on eight countries, on whose actions depends the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), to sign and/or ratify the treaty in the name of peace and changing the world for the better. The eight countries, listed in the so-called Annex II to the CTBT are China, Egypt, India, Iran, Israel, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Pakistan, and the United States.
The Astana Times Now broadcast also recently interviewed Kuyukov about the August 29 date and his life's work dedicated to nonproliferation. You can watch the full interview here.

It's an undeserved privilege in more ways than one. I was quite mischievous as a child, but I was also, at the same time and perhaps this goes with our own insecurities, is that I was quite a fearful child. I had – I'm going to go back and forth between the fear and mischievous behavior – but I think I probably still hold the record for the...

Maybe you've been to Japan or plan on going. Perhaps you recently moved here, or it could be that you're simply interested in the country. Japanese manners can be complex and filled with all sorts of intricacies that are tricky to navigate. The following tips can help.
What makes manners in Japan such a potential minefield for even Japanese people is that there are high expectations placed on how one should act. It's not that there is simply a correct way, but there is an expected way.
The good news for foreigners is that Japanese people don't really expect too much! The expectations are so low that Japanese people sometimes compliment foreigners if they can use chopsticks or say a few simple phrases. However, if you do show a level of proficiency in the language and the culture, then obviously you will be graded less on a curve and more will be expected of you. This can be both challenging and exhilarating, as well as stressful.
As long as you're not being an arsehole, walking on tatami mats with your shoes on, bothering other people, or breaking the law, the vast majority of Japanese people will be obliging. Basically, if you act like you do at home (I'm assuming you're a nice, responsible person!), then you should be fine.
Breaking Japan's Big No-No One Photo At A Time
In Japan, there's one rule that, more than anything, will probably make people upset when broken. These fashion photos destroy that rule.
But let's say you'd like to dip your toe in the world of Japanese manners and make an effort to delve deeper into the culture. Great! Here are some helpful tips and relatively easy manners to guide you on your way.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- If you got to public bath or a hot springs, do not wear a bathing suit. In some countries you wear swimwear in the hot springs, but in Japan, you get naked with strangers.
- Wash your body before you get into the bath. Don't dunk your head under the water in the bath or splash about. Once you get out of the bath, if the water has therapeutic qualities, it's not recommended you hit the showers again.
- In Japan, people bow when they greet others or say goodbye. They bow during ceremonies or when class starts or ends at school. They bow at Shinto shrines. If you don't live in a culture with bowing, you might be surprised at how much of it happens in Japan.
- There are several different angles at which people are supposed to bow. Unless you work in an office or in the service industry, you can probably get by with a 15 to 30 degree bow.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- If you are not sure or comfortable with that, a slight head bow should suffice in informal situations, which, if you are on vacation, will be most of your interactions.
- When bowing, keep your hands at your side (or thereabouts) and keep your back straight. For a more in-depth look at bowing, Tofugu has a handy guide.
Business Cards
- When someone gives you a business card, receive it with both hands. Likewise, if you give someone your card, do so with two hands.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- After you get the business card, look at it momentarily, because that's more respectful than simply stuffing it in your pocket. If you are meeting with someone at a table, keep their business card on the table next to you where you can see it. Do not forget it when you leave.
- Do not write on people's business cards. It's considered rude.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- Do not pull apart disposable chopsticks with your teeth. It's seen as uncouth.
- Do not whittle them like Rick Deckard.
How Blade Runner Teaches Bad Japanese Table Manners
It's something I've noticed. I've noticed it in the US, and I've noticed it among Westerners who visit Japan. After breaking apart chopsticks, they begin rubbing them together.
- Do not stick them in the middle of a bowl of rice. It looks like a Buddhist funeral ritual in which chopsticks are left standing up in a bowl of rice. As you can see in this photos from Yahoo! Japan, the rice is tightly packed and perfectly spherical, explaining why in Japan rice is not served to living people like this.
[Image: Yahoo! Japan]
- Do not lick your chopsticks. This is called "neburibashi" (ねぶり箸), which means "licking chopsticks."
- Do not stab your food or point at things with your chopsticks.
- Do not pass food directly from one set of chopsticks to another. The reason is related to another Buddhist funeral ritual: After a body is cremated, the family picks up the bones with chopsticks and passes them directly to another family member, from chopstick to chopstick. These bones are placed in an urn.

- Do not use mismatched chopsticks. The reason is related to the previously mentioned funeral ritual: Family members pick up the bones with mismatched chopsticks.
- If you can't use chopsticks, it's ok to ask for a fork or spoon.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- Pour other people's drinks. If you are eating or drinking with others, stay aware of their drink levels. If you're drinking beer or sake, offered to pour their drink. They will pour yours in return. This is also true for non-alcoholic drinks like tea and water. The reason why this is considered good manners is that it shows you are paying attention to others.
- Clean your plate (even all those little bits of rice). In some cultures, it's OK not to eat all your food. In Japan, it's frowned upon.
- Don't eat or drink on the train. This only pertains to subways or urban trains, which are crowded. You might spill your drink or the smell of your food might disturb others. People do eat and drink on the bullet train and during long rural train rides. Stations sell what are called "eki ben" (駅弁) or "station bento." Buy one, some tea or alcohol and enjoy your trip!
- Before you eat, put your hands together. Everyone will say "Itadakimasu." You can, too! It literally means "I humbly receive," but as Tofugu points out, it's also compared to "Let's eat," "Bon appétit," or "Thanks for the food." After you finish eating, put your hands together and say "Gochisou sama" or "Gochisou sama deshita." Simply put, it means "Thank you for the meal" or "That was a feast."
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- For whatever reason, if you somehow end up serving Japanese people rice, do not pack it tightly into the bowl, forming a perfectly spherical top. As mentioned above, this is how rice is prepared for the deceased at funerals.
Giving and Receiving
- If you visit someone's house, take a small gift. Cookies or cake typically go over well. If your host drinks, liquor is good. Small souvenirs from your home country could be good, too. Japanese people tend to give each other things they can use: soap, towels, and the like.
- Whenever you give people something, make sure that it's in a bag or a box. Wrapping culture is pervasive in Japan: You'll buy individually wrapped cookies that are put into a box that is then wrapped and then put into a paper bag. Your wrapping doesn't have to be complex or ornate; in a pinch, the bag the item came is is fine. Getting gifts that aren't wrapped or in paper (or even plastic) bags won't offend anyone, but it's typically not done.
[Image: Jeff Kramer | Flickr]
- When you get a gift, or when you receive anything, use both your hands to take the item.
- Thank you notes are not necessarily expected, but they are appreciated, especially in today's Japan where there is less and less of the written word. If someone is especially kind during your time in Japan, a small gift might be an appropriate way to say thanks. Don't worry about writing it in Japanese. The gesture is of gratitude is universal, and if you live abroad, most Japanese people still get a kick out of getting international snail mail or postcards.
- Take them off inside. Right as you step inside houses or buildings, there are entrance areas called "genkan" (玄関). Here you will take off your shoes. Make sure your shoes are lined up together side by side. If there are small lockers, put your shoes in them.
[Photo Illustration by Elena Scotti/Kotaku/GMG, photos via Shutterstock]
- After you take off your shoes, there will sometimes (but not always) be slippers. Put them on. If you go into a room with tatami mats and have slippers on, take off your slippers before entering. You can only walk on tatami with bare or stocking feet, because slippers and shoes can destroy the mats.
- When you go into the restroom, there will almost always be toilet slippers. Take off the other slippers and put on the toilet slippers. Don't go into the restroom with the room slippers, and don't leave the restroom in the toilet slippers.
- Don't wear socks with holes in them while in Japan. People will notice. If there are small children nearby, they will point it out. Repeatedly.
- Cover them up, if possible, out of politeness. Summers are brutal in Japan, so that might not be doable or realistic during that season. If you are meeting someone in a business or rather conservative setting, however, do keep them covered. Those who work in the entertainment industry, sports, or the arts will get a pass. Generally speaking, foreigners get a wider berth regarding tattoos than Japanese people do, but prejudices still exist. (More on Japanese tattoos here and here.)
Thank You
- It's "arigatou" or "arigatou gozaimasu." If those are too hard to say, just say, "Thank you." People will understand because "san kyuu" (サンキュー) is an English loan phrase meaning "Thank you."
Five Words You Must Know Before Visiting Japan
Ah, Japan! On a regular basis, I get emails from readers wanting to know about where they should go on their trip to Japan. Where should I stay? What should I eat? Questions like that. For a moment, forget that.
- You do not tip in Japan, and it's not expected.
Visiting a Shrine or Temple
- Shrines are Shinto. The rules are more complex at shrines than at Buddhist temples. For instance, at shrines, you clap when greeting the deity, but at temples there isn't clapping. For more on what to do at shrines, the Japan National Tourism Organisation has a helpful guide.

Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski has revealed that he is unsure whether or not he'll renew his contract with Napoli when his current deal expires. The Polish international was also quick to play down talk of a move to Liverpool however.
Zielinski has been ever present for Napoli in the league this season, scoring three goals in his 15 games so far this season. He came on as a substitute during the club's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek, as the Serie A giants crashed out of the UEFA Champions League.
Zielinski has been with the club since 2016 after he joined from Empoli, but the 24-year-old is unsure whether he will commit his future to the club.

Bitcoin's (BTC) classification has been a controversial and difficult topic for crypto-enthusiasts, investors, and regulators to reach a consensus on. The digital asset has been compared to a currency, a commodity, an investment asset or even said to have no underlying value. However, from the perspective of regulators, Bitcoin has been mostly associated and studied as a commodity, especially in relation to gold. In fact, many times Bitcoin is referred to as the "new gold" or "digital gold."
This week, as tensions between the United States and Iran ramped up, gold reached a 6-year high while BTC price rose about 20%. Thus, analysts are attempting to re-evaluate to what extent commodities and other traditional assets are linked to Bitcoin's long and short-term price action.
Looking at the price action of Bitcoin and gold from April 2013 until now, one can see that gold reached its peak in 2020, while Bitcoin reached its maximum price in late 2017. But how are they related?
When computing the correlations for the entire sample (from April 2013 until December 2019), between gold and Bitcoin prices, the data showed that they are considerably correlated at 46.5%, with 0% being not correlated, 100% meaning it's fully positively correlated and -100% meaning it's fully inversely correlated.
Interestingly, when comparing the correlation of prices between 2018 and 2019, we can confirm that the correlation of prices increases from 60.3% in 2018 to 70.8% in 2019.
This raises the scenario that as crypto markets mature, the price action begins to resemble that of traditional assets. The correlations between lagged gold prices and Bitcoin prices also show similarities.

To maintain the appearance of your garment, hang on a padded hanger and avoid things that could snag or mat the fur (pins, sharp jewelry, handbag handles, etc.). Also avoid spraying alcohol-based things like perfume or hair products while wearing your fur, as these can dry it out.
If you will not be wearing your fur for extended periods of time, store in an environment specifically designed for fur such as a climate-controlled storage, which can protect from damaging humidity, heat, light, and insects. A fur specialist should also clean and condition your fur on a regular basis. Read More...

The emergence of leading-edge autonomous driving technologies and mobility-as-aservice (MaaS), along with a greater push for cleaner plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and the present era of hyper data connectivity, are creating huge opportunities to fundamentally change the way people travel. Despite the majority of people agreeing that the autonomous vehicle (AV) is going to be the next big thing in the future and that it offers tremendous benefits, such as reduced mobility and infrastructure costs, increased safety, increased mobility, increased customer satisfaction, reduced crime, and disruption to other industries that are based on mobility, there are still several valid questions on the safety, liability, legal framework, loss of driving-related jobs, and ethical dilemmas that have no clear answers yet. The companies that are leading in AV technology, connectivity, and automobile manufacturing are pouring in a significant amount of capital to secure a strong position in the driverless future, and at the same time, all players ranging from small startup component vendors to municipalities are actively seeking their roles in the ecosystem. This Tractica report examines the market and technology issues surrounding consumer AVs and presents 6-year revenue forecasts for the industry. Tractica addresses the crucial market drivers and challenges, in addition to assessing the most important technology issues that will influence market development. In total, Tractica profiles 44 industry players. Market forecasts are segmented by world region and vehicle type.

Making the Cut: ~ SunDrops Series
March 2, 2009
These are 3 of the 4 bowls chosen from the series I've been working on the last couple months. Chosen as the work that will be delivered to Columbia Art Gallery tomorrow for the 'Art Heals' show. It was difficult to narrow my selections down to 4 pieces. The first Sun Bowl I posted has also 'made the cut'.
"The Path" is 16″ diameter by 2″ deep. The smaller bowls are both 12.5″ by 2″ deep.
Made with powdered glass atop a sheet glass substrate, they are capped with an iridescent glass, giving extra luster, which is difficult to see in these photos. The 22k gold lines are drawn by hand & fired in during the final firing. Most of the bowls in this series were fired 4 to 5 times to achieve my desired results.

ICMR School of Public Health
Post-Graduate Diploma in HIV Epidemiology
Strengthening the scientific and epidemiological basis for programme and policy decisions to prevent and control priority diseases is key to public health impact. The Post Graduate Diploma in HIV Epidemiology (PGDHE) at the ICMR School of Public Health, National Institute of Epidemiology (NIE) is an initiative of Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS) and Global AIDS Program of CDC, USA, in response to the need for the development of long-term sustainable human capacity for applied HIV epidemiology in India. This initiative primarily aims to strengthen the government health system for timely utilization and dissemination of the strategic information available within the HIV intervention programmes.
The programme is affiliated to Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Thiruvananthapuram.
GOAL and CORE COMPETENCIES
The primary goal of PGDHE will be to develop a self sustaining institutionalized capacity of public health workers in applied HIV epidemiology at field level and competent in addressing HIV public health needs and priorities efficiently and effectively.
It is expected that in the long term, PGDHE will lead to improved surveillance systems contributing to health system strengthening and increased improved human resource capacity at the national level.
Upon completion of the PGDHE, a trainee will have developed the following seven technical core competencies:
a. Duration and Course organization
PGDHE is a 12-month "learning-by-doing" programme. The academic session begins in July every year.
This programme consists of two parts:
Part I - 'In-class' sessions during which the students will receive theoretical inputs and plan for epidemiological field projects through residential contact sessions at NIE at intermittent intervals. The following modules will be covered: Principles and practice of public health, Principles and methods of epidemiology, Biostatistics, Qualitative research methods, Scientific communication, Applied Epidemiology, and Programme evaluation.
Part II – Field assignments during which the students will execute the epidemiological projects (Secondary data analysis, Surveillance description & evaluation, Programme description & evaluation) of relevance to HIV programme at field placement site (usually the district identified by the student and NIE in collaboration with the sponsoring agency).
b. Course credits
The PGDHE will carry a total of 30 credits distributed in two categories of Contact sessions and Field assignments.
c. Course Report
In the last contact session, at the completion of the field postings and coursework, the student will submit the Course Report that will include all assignment reports. Each of the assignment reports should be in the format of a scientific manuscript of 3,500 words or less that uses the Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion structure.
d. Grading system
A six letter grading system (A-F) will be used to assess student's performance in each module. Cumulative Grade-point average (CGPA) will be calculated as the weighted average of numerical values of grades with credits as weights.
In the case of failure in any of the modules, one more chance will be given to reappear for examination within two months. If the student fails for the second time, he/she has to reappear for the module when the same is offered in subsequent academic years within a span of two years. The student has to obtain prior approval from competent authority. The maximum grade that will be awarded for a re-examination will be limited to C. A maximum of two chances will be given to pass in all the modules.
e. Criteria for award of diploma
To qualify for award of the PGDHE, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 'E' in all individual modules and assigned field projects; and secure an overall CGPA of 2.
Admission is open to both government sponsored and private candidates. However, preference will be given to government sponsored candidates and private candidates will be given admission only on seats that remain vacant after admission of government sponsored candidates.
Call for applications is usually advertised in leading newspapers and NIE website in December/January.
a. Course eligibility
Applicants fulfilling the following criteria will be eligible to apply for the programme:
b. Selection of students
A selection committee constituted and approved by the Director of SCTIMST will select the nominated students for the course based on the review of the applications, written test and/or personal interview. Reservation of seats will be as per Government of India norms for SC/ST/OBC/PH candidates being followed by SCTIMST. Mere possession of the eligibility criteria will not entail selection for the course. The decision of the Director, SCTIMST, shall be final for selection of the candidates.
c. Course fee
Non-sponsored/private candidates are required to pay a course fee.
