For 75 years, the superhero has held up very well without any plastic surgery. How many other celebrities can claim that? She made her first appearance in the pages of Star Comics No. 8 in October, 1941, long before other female superheroes like Batgirl and Black Widow arrived on the comic book scene. The all-American girl became an instant hit and headlined her own title the following year.

I love the piece so much! How well it works in my whimsical blue garden! I just did not know to depict the rabbit hole in the Alice in Wonderland area that this is the perfect conceptual representation. It is beautiful and whimsical. As I had to place it on a stump where a branch had been sawed, I hired a one skilled with a jigsaw to round the edges a bit for visual believability and, after attaching it to the stump, added tiny pieces of bark around the edge to help it blend with the stump. Great discovery!

I would like to share with you this account of Father Emanuel Martelli, IVE who visited our missions in Baghdad and Erbil, Iraq last week. In that time there, he had the opportunity to visit some of the Christian refugee camps.
P. Diego Cano, IVE.
"This is the time to give our testimony and not of our martyrdom" (Um Mariam de Qaraqosh)
These are the words of Um Mariam, one of the Christian refugees who has survived from Daesh, which she said to her husband the day in which they were able to escape from Qaraqosh leaving everything behind and which she repeated anew in my presence. I begin with these words, which have delved profoundly into me, at hearing them said today from her own lips.
refugee children singing their catechism
It is always difficult to express in words the most profound impressions in one's soul, all the more when these impressions are produced by the living testimony of faith. Words, gestures and even sighs aren't adequate enough vehicles for transmitting what resides in the intimacy of one's soul.
And this is how I am after meeting with the Christian refugees during my visit to Erbil; and thus I have remained, before the eloquent testimony of these simple people. Despite this simplicity they have such determination, so as to be ready to lose their homes, their land, their vehicles and even some to the point of losing their life, rather than lose their faith. Thus I have remained, speechless, at seeing them smile, at hearing 450 Syrian Catholic children sing their catechism in the Church-shed of the camp as if it were a triumphal song of the most valuable thing they possess: their faith. Thus have I remained, and it is no wonder. It is like one who is petrified at hearing the horror of their stories, of their suffering, of having lost everything, risking their lives in the desert, without anything, having a tent as a home. And yet, to hear from their lips this phrase (among the hundreds of other phrases) in virtue of who is saying it, and the circumstances in which they are said, would merit being sculpted in hard marble as a perpetual memorial for future generations: "I give thanks to ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) because without knowing it they have helped me grow closer to God". I am speechless and this is no exaggeration.
Today I visited one of the many Christian refugee camps in Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan together with Father Luis Montes, who is one of our missionaries here. What do you want me to tell you? The strength of these people is impressive! The testimony of hundreds of families that at seeing us enter the camps, smile and greet us with the classic "Ahlan, Abbuna!" (Arabic: Our Priests, Welcome!) It's impressive seeing the crosses placed in the threshold of their homes, and even where there wasn't one, there was at least a cross hand drawn on their front doors, as the great trophy that they had kept and as a font that nourishes them, and gives meaning to their entire existence! These are the Christian Iraqis that have chosen to be refugees because they have chosen to not renounce Christ!
Example of the crosses over the cabins in the camp of the Annunciation.
The camp that we had visited is the biggest of the many camps that are found here. It includes around 1,200 families who reside here, meaning to say over 5,000 people, all of whom are Christians who have fled the city of Qaraqosh, where Islamic terrorism has stripped them of everything they had except the most precious thing: their faith and Christian dignity. When you hear the testimony of a mother that tells you so naturally: "When we had to flee, the first thing that my husband did was to look for the Bible, then we took a few clothes, my jewelry, and we left with our two daughters without a cent" One can't help but remain silent before a confession of faith like this: "the first thing that he did was to look for the Bible" while there were violent islamists at their door!
A drawing of one of the little girls I met during my visit to the cabin of one of the refugee families. You can see the Virgin Mary and the refugees of Qaraqosh. The inscription on each side reads in Arabic: Oh Virgin Mary, pray for us!
Panoramic view of the Christian refugee camp of the Annunciation made possible by donations from various churches.
It is such a strong testimony of faith that there are no words to express it! But also, it is such a strong testimony of the charity and of the Church to which we belong! I say this because it is not only a testimony of the faith of these people but also of the charity and solicitude that I have seen in the bishops, priests, and the many faithful who have built hundreds of homes, who give bread, medicine, assistance, schools, hospitals, and even soccer fields, so that these people can live like men and not like animals. This is a strong testimony and one rejoices at seeing how the Holy Church, so attacked, so reviled in the West even by its own children, is the pioneer in alleviating the suffering of men, not only of Christians, but even of the muslims and Yazidis. This is the Church of Christ and these are her children! I am speechless.
View of the Christian refugee camp.
One of the refugees told me something that I want to share with you: "I was rich. There is a saying in Arabic which says that the rich our fools. That is how I was, a Christian on my passport, but I had no concern for my neighbor. But when I lost everything, I went to a church, and they were the first to give a tent to me and my daughters, and later this cabin. I said to myself, they don´t know me, they don´t know who I am, and they are helping me. It was the first thing that struck me in this journey that has brought me closer to God". It is this which strikes a person who is able and experiences firsthand that Christian love which is neither an ideology, nor a demagogy, nor cheap politics, but a faithful expression of that love which is shown with works and not with words. The same title that is lovingly given to the priests here is said to all: Abbuna! Our father! And they really feel that he is such! The "abbunas" are there for all of them!
Dear family and friends, please excuse the brevity of this chronicle, but the emotion that I experienced at recalling the gestures of these people paralyzes me. It is the testimony of our Church in the faith of persecuted Christians, which strikes me. It is these simple people who have taught me more than any books. It is the testimony of the charity of the priests and missionaries who risk even their own lives, like the missionaries of our religious family, who work with the camps, providing for all that is needed, spiritually and materially. It is the testimony of the faithful Christians who continue to give of their money, time, and talents, etc. in order to alleviate these people…it is all this, it is something to marvel at, and it takes my breath away and at the same time pushes me to keep going. Forgive me. Pray for the persecuted Christians, pray for Iraq, pray for us who have the unmerited grace to be witnesses of all of this, and above all, we have the grace to be missionaries of the Holy Catholic Church in this land soaked with the blood of its own sons and daughters whose "love for life did not deter them from death" (Rev 12:11) and for this reason they now enjoy the company of the Lamb (Cfr. Rev 7:17).
May God bless you!
Father Emanuel Martelli, IVE

Since turning vegan 2 yrs ago there's not much I've been missing to be honest. But I have missed creamy Greek yoghurt. No vegan yoghurt I've tried have been great and as I'm trying to eat mostly raw I thought I'd better try to create a rawghurt. And if you have the patience to leave it for 3-4 days in the fridge to mature it sets and gets more tart, just like Greek yoghurt.
Raw Cashew Yoghurt
3 cups of cashews (soaked overnight)
2-3 cups of filtered water
2 tbsp agave, maple syrup or other sweetener of choice
Pinch of vanilla
5 capsules of probiotics
Rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly. Add all in a high speed blender and mix until all smooth and silky. The consistency should be runny but not thin. Think melted ice cream. Pour in a VERY clean glass jar (I boil mine) and cover with a cloth and a rubber and to let it breath without anything getting in. Find a warm place and put it there for 20-28 hours. The longer the more sour it will get. You will now have a almost crumble, "cheese" like mixture. Simply scrape it out from the jar into a bowl, add some filtered water until it reaches a consistency you like (it will set a bit more) and put in fridge for at least 10 hours, the longer you leave it the better it gets in my opinion but I like it quite tart. Best is if you try it day 1, day 2, day 3 and so on to find your best recipe. Good luck! ❤

College students get lots of cliché advice, such as "go to class," "take advantage of office hours" and "meet with your advisor." These sentiments are shared so often because they work. Meeting your advisor can be especially helpful for choosing a major or minor, finding internship or job opportunities, and overall making the most of your time in college. Advisors are there to provide professional, unbiased advice and help students be successful, plus they're pretty cool people.
Not sure who your advisor is? Find your academic advisor by logging in through your myKU portal.
An icebreaker when you meet Sydney:
Everything you need to know about Sydney (sort of)
Undergraduate Major: B.A. in Political Science, Spanish, and International Studies.
I became an advisor because… I enjoy being a problem solver! Helping students connect to resources and find their way at KU is so rewarding.
What did you want to be when you were growing up? I wanted to work for the government as a Foreign Service Officer.
My favorite place on campus is… The cafe and art gallery in Chalmers Hall (the Visual Art Building). Aside from art and design students, not many people know about it, so it is a beautiful relaxing space to grab a coffee or eat lunch.
The secret fountain and courtyard in Murphy Hall is a close second:
My best advice for college students:
My favorite KU memory is… Getting married at Potter Lake and having the Campanile bells play in the background. I love KU, so it was great to intertwine the University in such a fun life event!
My super power would be: Teleportation. No traffic, no running late – just teleport to where I need to be!

Lund is nine miles south west of Driffield and in 2013 is part of the Driffield Circuit.
It has been recorded that when the chapel opened one thousand people sat down to tea. This seems quite amazing as this increased the population of the village for a short time by over five hundred!
There are only seven members today April 2013.

Tourist revenue is the impetus for many small towns to invite attraction businesses into their fold. Columbus, Georgia's second largest city and fourth-largest metropolitan area, is home to a myriad of entertainment options that allow out-of-towners to enjoy its landscape and cultural heritage in the form of rides and walking tours.
Due to its positioning along the Chattahoochee River, many of the popular attractions in Columbus are riparian in nature. The National Civil War Naval Museum, located at 1002 Victory Drive, overlooks the river. The space has been carefully curated to include full-scale and partial replicas of famous warships that once docked in the river, including the USS Water Witch and the USS Hartford. The authentic structures of the CSS Jackson and CSS Chattahoochee are featured on the premises.
Whitewater, a popular waterpark chain, runs along a 2.5-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee. Although manmade, the waterpark operates alongside the natural river. In April, the waterpark will host the first Fall Line Classic Competition featuring a men's, women's, and junior freestyle competition, along with an 8 Ball & Down River Race.
Although Columbus offers plenty of waterfront action, personal injuries are prominent when it comes to tackling slippery terrain along the Chattahoochee and surrounding lakes.
Last June, a woman fell 30 feet from a cliff inside of Roswell's Vickery Creek Park. The three-mile Vickery Creek is part of the trail network of Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area parks. That same month, the bodies of a man and a boy were found in a lake in Columbus after a storm overturned their boat. In January, a kayaker was rescued by Columbus police after a 45-minute search of the freezing river around RiverWalk Island after his kayak capsized.
Each year, the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Division releases statistics on the number and causes of reported boating accidents in the U.S. The statistical report from 2014, the latest report released, shows that the number of accidents that take place in April exceeds other months.
As we near the end of winter, it's important to practice safety precautions as warmer weather returns to the Columbus area. The American Red Cross advises that swimming only take place in areas that are supervised by lifeguards. They also maintain a list of classes nationwide for swimming education and swimming instruction. An aquatic attraction lifeguarding instructor course is offered for free online for those seeking employment at attractions and waterfronts around Columbus.
Slip and falls, boating accidents, and other personal injuries and incidents at attractions are common in tourist towns. While you may be ready to jump into warm water at the onset of spring, beware of the risks that come with fun in the sun. If you have experienced personal injuries that are no fault of your own whilst engaging in waterfront activities or visits to popular destinations, contact the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan. We're here to assist you with a free consultation and case evaluation regarding your situation. Gear up for the new season with the best representation in town.

PSAV News
ASHEVILLE, N.C., — Teaming up with the onsite PSAV team at the Biltmore Estate, PSAV Asheville supported the property's 2013 Employee Dinner and provided audio, lighting and video. The success PSAV achieved at the event exemplified one of the many reasons why the hotel has earned its highest satisfaction scores to—date.
Faced with windy weather, the team was challenged with preventing the screen from becoming a sail. The PSAV crew planned accordingly, kept their eyes on the weather throughout the changes during their setup, and ultimately executed a flawless event that prompted the meeting planner to thank the crew and exclaim "Perfect!" on stage.
"Owner of the Biltmore Estate, Mr. William Cecil, reported that Biltmore's scores by their customers were better than their competitors', and it was because of the 1800 employees who treat each of their guests like family," said PSAV Branch Director Jay Kirk. "We take great pride in working with the property, treating our guests the way we'd like to be treated, executing events successfully and look forward to a long and successful partnership with the Biltmore Estate."

Donald "Don" Tenney Larsen, age 81, peacefully completed his earthly mission to be welcomed home by his Heavenly Father on November 27, 2017, after a long fight with colon cancer. Don was born June 29, 1936 to Peter Fielding Larsen and Emma Belle Tenney Larsen. He was very close to his loving siblings Ernie Larsen, Charlene Larsen McCutcheon, and Jean Marie Larsen Rolfson.
Since a young boy, Don had a passion for learning, designing, and creating. He graduated from Chandler High School in Chandler, Arizona at age 17 and began working as an apprentice. He completed a degree in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. He loved his work of designing and creating aircrafts, gliders, and drones always tinkering with a new "out of the box" design or idea. Perhaps his most crowning achievements will not ever be known by even his most beloved family members as he was a true patriot, and being sworn to secrecy, was instrumental in the development and implementation of many technologies in the support of our national freedoms…at least that is what most of his loved ones had always suspected. The truth to these suspicions follow him to his next state and will perhaps never be confirmed. Nevertheless, it is well documented that he was heavily involved with the B2 bomber program in his earlier years and because of his love and skill for RC Airplane flight, was instrumental in the mentoring of other patriots in the use of large scale drones.
Don loved writing, and emailing his loved ones. He enjoyed creating artwork including "Outer-Space Art" and traveling to explore the ruins with his brother, Ernie. He enjoyed health and keeping active. Don is said by many to be "the most optimistic person they know. There was not an ounce of guile in his body." Don was kind, compassionate, giving, loyal, intelligent, humorous, and just a joy to be around.
All of Don's children and grandchildren love and adore him. He will be missed greatly by all those who knew him.
Don is preceded by his former wife, Margaret Rodgers, and survived by their children, Roger Dale Larsen, Laura Larsen Stephens, Karen Larsen Plotkin, and Carla Larsen Stonebarger; preceded by his former wife, Lurali Dutson and survived by their children, Elayne Larsen Bray and Steve von Hargett; survived by his former wife, Roberta Jeane Clark and their children, Matthew Jeffery Larsen and Ian Jeffery Larsen; preceded by his late wife, Carol Sue Doughty and survived by their children , Robin Larsen Dalton (Kendall) 4 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren, Scott Larsen (Veronica) 9 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren , and Crystal Larsen Clark (David) 4 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren; survived by his wife and sweetheart, Nevha Jean, her children and his step-children, Aaron Osborne, (Brenda Osborne), Virena Osborne Blackwell, Melissa Osborne Morales, Ericka Osborne Farmer, (Eric Farmer), Leslea Osborne Edwards, (Brett Edwards), preceded by Angela Osborne Johnson (Jessi Johnson) and survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Services will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2017 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at 9580 South Peace Way, Las Vegas, Nevada. The viewing will be from 11:00am–1:00pm. The chapel service will be from 1:00pm–2:00 pm.
Burial services will be held on Monday, December 4, 2017 from 3:00pm-4:00pm at Evergreen Cemetery located at 1997 South 400 East, Springville, Utah 84664.

In 2008 he put out the laudatory album « This Could Mean Trouble, You Don't Speak For The Club » and is now following it up with « Geraniums ». Having toured with the band Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and played multiple music festivals in 2009, the upcoming year of 2010 looks promising. But it sounds even better.

Jewel, 41, has been acclaimed the world over for her skills as a songwriter and musician, has commanded an incredibly successful career, and has released a dozen studio albums thus far. But she still grimaces at the dark, shadowy past of the music industry that continues to haunt her today—the worst part of it all was being a little child learning the tricks of the trade, but constantly being harassed by men.
"I've had men hitting on me, sadly, since I was really young," the Grammy nominee recently said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She recounted instances where men would hand her a dime when she was as young as eight years old and say things like, "Call me. It'd be so great to f*ck when you're older."
This was all new for Jewel, who came from a modest background. She was brought up in a saddle barn located on a homestead in a small Kenai Peninsula town. She says the family would eat and live off whatever they could find on their own.
Jewel first started to sing at just eight years old with her dad—the father-daughter pair sang at everything from bank openings to biker bars. Then at the age of 15, she made her way to Michigan to join an arts school, paid for with a scholarship and earnings from working multiple jobs. After graduating, she wound up in San Diego, but eventually lost her job, because she refused advances from her boss.
Ending up homeless and desperate, she would spend her nights in a car and write her songs to bide time, but men would still not let her be—they'd approach her car and continue hitting on her. "I've never been more propositioned by businessmen in my life," she revealed to The Hollywood Reporter. "It was almost like they were sharks that could smell blood, like of vulnerability."
Eventually, Jewel started singing in coffee shops and no sooner she was being sought after by different labels. She aligned herself with Atlantic Records, because they let her be herself. Her coffee shop songs formed her first album, Pieces of You—it became a rage in the U.S. with more than 12 million copies sold. The album is still an all-time favorite and is regarded as one of the best ever debuts, in terms of sales.
With regards to her success, Jewel says she did it all herself and never felt the need to forsake her morals, despite the many advances from eager men. "I never slept my way to the top, ever. There was never one time I've ever compromised anything. I was always willing to walk away."
Christie, J., "'It was almost like they were sharks that could smell blood': Jewel explains how she has fought off sexual harassment from men since she was just eight-years-old," Daily Mail web site, September 11, 2015.

August 16, 2012
By Ed and Sue Danneker, serving in Thailand
Have you ever thought about taking a short-term trip to advance God's Kingdom in an exotic location like Thailand? Recently, we were blessed with two Envision teams that impacted many young lives for eternity during their brief stay.
On May 4, 2012, five enthusiastic students from Simpson University in Redding, California, rolled into the town of Mahachai for a ministry-packed weekend. They started on Friday, meeting some of our teens and area children. Then, we headed to the streets for an extensive prayer walk.
Making Connections
On Saturday morning, we hosted a music festival at church. The ice broke as the teens in attendance warmed up to the team. The local children were thrilled when some of the American college students played soccer with them.
That afternoon at a local park, a group of teens participated in a scavenger hunt with the Simpson team. Later we went to one of the biggest area markets to distribute Christian literature and go shopping.
On Sunday, the team members connected with our English students. They met Non, a young man studying to be a judge, who hung out with the group later in the week. The team's special music, testimonies, and preaching blessed during the worship service.
Team Two
The second Envision team of four young people ministered with us June 16–17. Several of them are interested in returning to Thailand to serve the Lord long term.
Only a few Thai teens came for the music on Saturday morning, so the team focused on the children. Pastor Somkit's 11- year-old son, Nong Yiw, a budding evangelist, gathered many of the neighborhood kids to play games with the group.
In the afternoon and evening, we visited some Thai church members. On Sunday, students from Sue's English class for young professionals connected with the team members through the interaction and activities. Their testimonies and special music during the worship service were a blessing.
Two of the team members volunteered to help with the children's church. This was great, because, again, Nong Yiw had gathered a large group of friends and acquaintances for the Sunday service.
What we love about these and other short-term teams is that real ministry happens. God arranges just the right people at just the right time.
What You Can Do
Join with thousands of people who lift up the weekly Alliance prayer requests.
- Give to the Great Commission Fund (GCF) and partner with Alliance workers, such as those in Thailand, in bringing the good news to people trapped in spiritual darkness.
- Give now
- Read another story about child evangelist Nong Yiw.
- Read about the 4/14 Window—youth from 4 to 14 years old, the group most open to spiritual input—in the January 15, 2012, issue of Alliance Life.
Learn More
- Check out exciting, short-term missions opportunities with Envision Culture. Visit our Envision Culture Trips page for more information.
- Check out the G.C. Kidz Club! With online games, stories, Bible studies, and more, it is a place where you and the kids in your life can learn more about Alliance missions. Also, kids will be challenged to live out Jesus' Great Commission in their own lives.

March Ratney, 27, was taken into custody a short time after the shooting around 2:00 a.m. Tuesday on the near east side. IMPD Chief Troy Riggs says Ratney fired at least a dozen shots after yelling obscenities directed at police. Five of the shots hit the officer's house and three hit his patrol car. No one inside the house was hurt, and Riggs says members of the community helped officers track down Ratney.
Ratney had just been released from prison on June 6 after serving a sentence for being a felon in possession of a gun, and Riggs says the officer he targeted had arrested Ratney in 2008. Though Ratney was wearing a t-shirt that said "f— the police" on the front and "black lives matter" on the back, Riggs says he does not believe Ratney is representative of any organization or movement.
If only we had some adults in charge who would denounce this behavior.
March Eugene Ratney, according to Department of Correction records, wasn't due to be released from prison until this past June 6 after serving half of a 12-year sentence following his conviction as a serious violent felon with a weapon. Ten days later, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers were called to an east side address where Ratney's sister said he had pulled a gun and threatened to kill her.
Investigators now report, and neighbors confirmed, Ratney, on parole, was the man clad in a Black Lives Matter t-shirt and screaming profanities at police, who shot up an IMPD officer's house not far from his own home early this morning.
The officer and his family were uninjured.
"Think about this, this is your home," said IMPD Chief Troy Riggs. "If there is one place in this world where you should always feel safe and your family should feel safe, it is in your home."
So he served half his sentence as a violent felon with a weapon and was released early because obviously the justice system is so unfair to blacks. To show his gratitude he dones a "Fuck the police" t-shirt and tries to murder a cop.
Take a bow, Obama.
Update: This piece of human garbage has been arrested 11 times since 2007. So what the hell was he doing out on the streets?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, performance and function, and applies the sciences of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning (neuroscience). Kinesiology utilizes science-based approaches, research and assessment to aid in the enhancement of human performance and to assist in the prevention or rehabilitation of injury and other physiological conditions.
When there is a lack of control over body movement before the control of an external load is added, the probability of non-traumatic injuries increase. If there is instability in basic movement, the body learns to compensate. With repetition, these flawed movement patterns create imbalances and asymmetries in the body. Basic movement patterns require a balance of mobility and stability. Through screening and assessment, weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries and limitations become noticeable. It should be a prerequisite to move well before moving often and challenging a body with training.
Many people are able to perform a wide range of activities, but are unable to efficiently execute basic movements and are using compensatory movement during physical activity. If these compensations continue, poor movement patterns are reinforced, which lead to poor biomechanics. All can be contributing factors in a future injury.
Movement is the foundation for performance and skill.

The Anti-Jewish Problem
Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition
by David Nirenberg
W.W. Norton & Company, 624 pp., $35
David Nirenberg has set out to investigate the way in which "'Jewish questions' have shaped the history of thought." His book is not, then, a study of historical anti-Semitism, though, of course, that dark topic is its necessary backdrop. "Judaism" is, in Nirenberg's terms, "not only the religion of specific people with specific beliefs, but also a category, a set of ideas and attitudes with which non-Jews can make sense of and criticize their world." Thus, the anti-Judaism of his book's title is not only, or even primarily, about actual Jews and Judaism; it is about the conceptual building blocks of the Western tradition (taken broadly to include Islam). Nirenberg frames his sweeping study as "an argument for the vital role that the history of ideas can play in making us aware of how the past uses of the concepts we think with can constrain our own thought."
The example of Karl Marx and his famous discussion of the "Jewish Question" (Judenfrage) is, for Nirenberg, illustrative. As he argues, Marx described Judaism not as a religion, but as the pursuit of money and property, which, in turn, produced "an attitude of spiritual slavery and alienation from the world." To the degree that Christians pursue property, they too are "Jews," and, therefore, to truly emancipate Jews and others from their political and existential bondage, capitalism—that is to say, Judaism—must be overcome. Until then, Marx says, Christian society "will continue to produce Judaism out of its own entrails."
But Marx was far from the first for whom "Judaism" marked a negative conceptual/religious position that could be employed for social, economic, political, and religious goals. For two thousand years or more, thinkers had continually refashioned such conceptualizations creating an enormously powerful mythic representation of Judaism—one to which Marx was both consciously and unconsciously indebted, and one that had enormous consequences for real Jews (including Marx). Nirenberg writes:

Pitch to:
Either to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com. Or both. Or neither.

A reasonably detailed email, or through our adamantium ESP helmets.
We'll read everything and get back to you – if you don't hear back immediately, don't fret. And have a bloody wash.

A horse that can dance! Imagine!
What won't impress:
Having no idea what the magazine is about, and anything that gives us the impression it's been farmed around loads. Any email that begins 'Dear Loaded".
Loads, fucking loads. Like, more than any amount you can count up to, probably.
Generally not – we'll happily commission photographers and illustrators. Relevant contacts come in handy though.
Any other info?
Every cloud has a silver lining, you can't be older than you weigh, there were 140 episodes made of the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters, and eating cheese before bed doesn't really cause nightmares. It's a filthy myth.

Winter skin moisture
The nesting of the winter is not only in Amalki dalai but it is also affecting the body. Skin is dry, white straws. Tension, skin is going to die, how much more!
Due to low water vapor in the air in winter, the skin does not get the necessary moisture. As a result, skin of all skin becomes dry or dry. The only way to protect it is to use a moisturizer or lotion; Harvester's skin care specialist, Afrin Mousumi, who said that the skin turns moisturizes the skin, is vivid and vibrant. Vitamins, oils, drinks and lotions in the lotion or moisturizer keep the skin balance with nature, by providing proper nutrition to the skin. Seasonal Afrin further said how the lace should be used on the skin.

Last year at this moment I was squatting in our bathroom trying to figure out if these contractions were real or just those wonderful false ones I kept experiencing! Vincent was snuggled in our bed next to Jordan, for some odd reason I had let him come into bed with us the night before, I guess my mommy instincts knew I needed some cuddle time with him before Luke arrived. Anyways, I creeped in the room and whispered loudly "Jordan I think this is IT!", Jordan half asleep and groggy of course thought I was full of it (I probably have 10 false alarms) , he slowly rolls out of bed! I am not in too much pain (yet) so we finish packing the bags and make arrangements for Vincent to be watched by Uncle Alex.
Off to the hospital we went, and they did not admit me right away but after walking for an hour and progressing 1/2 cm, and faking contractions (tensing up all your abdominal muscles messes with the machine and makes a tiny contraction look worse, I am a little sneaky snake) they admitted me. Since labor was not too intense they said they would have to break my waters, which is exactly what they did with Vincent. They broke my waters around noon and off we went. I remember every detail about the day. How I thought the labor tub would make things better, wrong! How I thought watching a movie would distract me, wrong! How I thought it would be not as painful, wrong! With all the random wrong things, one thing was right, the second labor is FASTER! I went from 4-8 in a few hours then the dreaded 8-10 in like 30-45 mins and FINALLY pushing! That damn "ring of fire" they talk about during pushing is oh so TRUE! I have the thought of that sensation burned in my mind forever. Thankfully I had my pushing down a little better than the first birth, so he made his entrance into the world in a speedy manner (thanks Luke!)
At 3:20 pm, Luke Cosmas entered the world!
(names both derived from saints; Saint Luke and Saint Cosmas)
Luke still makes the EXACT face when he cries....
I never knew what it would be like to love not only one child but TWO and it is AMAZING! I was a little hesitant with worries before he arrived about how I would feel towards Luke, if I would have enough love to share evenly between Vincent and Luke. The moment he arrived and I held him it was no longer a worry. My heart grew extra large to handle all the emotions I had saved for him!
This past year since he was born has been an experience. I have had every emotion you could possibly have; terror, excitement, LOVE, nervousness, anxiety, surprise, joy...the list goes on and on.
The moments we have shared have been priceless.
The bond we have as a family of 4 is so strong! I can not imagine our life without Luke! I am so blessed that he is ours! At 3:20 today I know I will be snuggling that little boy as tight as I can! We have came so far in ONE year, it is hard to believe!
I love you so much Luke Cosmas....
Here is a look at his first year if you have not seen it!

So finally the results for the Fujitsu design award came in and put a smile on my face. I did not win anything but I did get shortlisted. I am very happy with that feat since only a hundred out of 3354 participants got shortlisted so it feels like I did something right. There will have to be more competing ahead, hopefully together with some of my good friends. So what did I do for the competition you ask? Check it out below, and if you don't know what I'm writing about here just take a look at this previous post.
"It wasn't that many years ago that people had much greater knowledge about the products they bought and used. You knew the person that grew your potatoes, you used to go to school with the farmer that supplied you with milk and your sisters husband made most of the furniture in your house. This made you much closer both physically but also mentally with the things you were in contact with in your daily life.
In todays society we have so many choices to make just to get a loaf of bread at the store and yet we know basically nothing about the product itself. This project is about giving the consumer back some of the benefits that we used to have and through this also gain some power. In our future I hope to see more transparency from the companies supplying us with products, giving the consumer an opportunity to see how and where its made, the environmental aspects, how the situation is for the workers etc.
All this controlled through freestanding independent organisations. This system is implemented as an application in the future equivalent of todays smartphone. It uses RFID tags on the shelves or on the actual product to give you the information about the products. This information is then projected as a hologram by the phone which gives you as much space for the information as you need. If you scan more than one product by say, different brands in the same category, the information merges so that you can compare different aspects of the products. Go back to the roots of the products you buy for a better understanding, better health and a better more sustainable world."

Philosophy in Russia: From Herzen to Lenin and Berdyaev. By Frederick C. Copleston. University of Notre Dame Press. 445 pages. $15.95.
The best thing about the publication of a paperback edition of Fr. Coplestons Philosophy in Russia is that more people may discover Vladimir Solovyev, the subject of a chapter in the book, and, according to Copleston, Russias greatest religious philosopher. Solovyev was a friend of Dostoevsky; he could have stepped from the pages of one of Dostoevskys novels. Anguished truth-seeker, mystic sage, flirter with the gnostic quest for esoteric secrets of the cosmos, prophet of social justice, Solovyev would have provided an apt model for any number of Dostoevskys characters. A passionate lover of Mother Russia, he at one time envisioned his homeland as a theocratic polity that would lead the nations to the true Christ. Russia must exemplify Christian charity, he believed, and toward that end, he urged Tsar Alexander III to pardon the assassins of the Tsars father.
Throughout his life Solovyev labored for the reunion of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, though he believed their mystic oneness had never been broken. To heal the breach, he urged the tsar to journey to Rome and embrace the pope. He toyed with conversion to Rome, but died in the Orthodox communion he loved so irrevocably. His writings sparked a revival of religious metaphysics in Russia after his death in 1900. Sadly, that revival never reached fruition; Russia embraced a new faith. Solovyev was a strange figure, but in that very strangeness he embodied a powerful witness for the Faith.
What Is to Be Done?. By Nikolai Chernyshevsky. Cornell University Press. 449 pages. $12.95.
Russian writers of the 19th century produced a number of books that rank with the most distinguished creations of modern literature. What Is to Be Done? is not one of those works, and Chernyshevsky is small potatoes in comparison with Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Tolstoy. As art, What Is to Be Done? is a mess. Though not excessively long by Russian standards, its abundance of arid and dreary passages makes it seem twice the length of War and Peace. As Leszek Kolakowski snaps in his Main Currents of Marxism: It is a work of small literary value, didactic, boring, and pedantic . Even Chernyshevskys narrator is forced to admit: What uninteresting people!
Yet it is arguable that What Is to Be Done? was the most influential novel published under the Old Regime of the tsars. Michael Katz and William Wagner (the translator and annotator, respectively, of this first full and adequate English rendering of the novel) call it the most subversive and revolutionary work of nineteenth-century Russian literature. In a passage quoted by Katz and Wagner in their perceptive and informative Introduction, Joseph Frank, the definitive biographer of Dostoevsky, claims that no work in modern literature, with the possible exception of Uncle Toms Cabin, can compete with What Is to Be Done? in its effect on human lives and its power to make history. Lenin put it succinctly: He [Chernyshevsky] plowed me up more profoundly than anyone else.
Chernyshevsky championed the radicals of the 1860s in their war against the established order. His novel is a stew of ideas and ideologies that nourished the revolutionary firebrands of the era: feminism, sexual liberation, utilitarianism, positivism, philosophical materialism, scientific rationalism, co-operative socialism. Over it all hovers the Utopian vision of a radiant and beautiful future of freedom, equality, and material abundance. Kirsanov, one of Chernyshevskys New Men, exclaims: The Golden Age will dawn .
But the seed of a less glorious future is buried within the book. Amidst the paeans, to the bliss and brotherhood that lie ahead, one finds Rakhmetov, the quintessential New Man, rebuking a comrade in chilling words: What do fifty people matter? You could have harmed the cause of all mankind and betrayed the idea of progress! That, Vera Pavlovna, in ecclesiastical language is called a sin against the Holy Spirit. That not its radicalism or materialism is the crucial (and murderous) flaw of the program adumbrated by Chernyshevsky in his famous novel.
The Call of Stories: Teaching and the Moral Imagination. By Robert Coles. Houghton Mifflin. 212 pages. $18.95.
The education industry has accomplished the seemingly impossible: it has degraded the study of literature into an arid and bootless exercise. A disgruntled English major confided his frustration and disappointment to Robert Coles: But I never liked the way the professors used the books zeroing in on the text, raking and raking, sifting and sifting it through narrower and narrower filters. Im not against learning about symbols and images and metaphors, but there was something missing . Something? Yes, life. Coles urges the teacher of literature to engage a students growing intelligence and any number of tempestuous emotions with the line of a story in such a way that the readers imagination gets absorbed into the novelists. Coles is one of those rare professors who apprehends something often ignored in the academy: the study of literature is not about symbol-mongering, metaphor-scrounging, or the concoction of outré theories it is about life.
Coless belief that literature can be used to aid students in shaping their moral conduct harbors its own potential dangers. It can degenerate into a philistine utilitarianism in which art becomes the handmaid of moral exhortation or the servant of the merely practical. Coles avoids this enfeebling concept of literature. The whole point of stories is not solutions or resolutions, he asserts, but a broadening and even heightening of our struggles with protagonists and antagonists introduced, with new sources of concern or apprehension or hope, as ones mental life accommodates itself to a series of arrivals: guests who have a way of staying, but not necessarily staying put.
The poetry-writing doctor William Carlos Williams once told a young Robert Coles that we all carry [stories] with us on this trip we take, and we owe it to each other to respect our stories and learn from them. As both physician and teacher of literature, Coles has followed Williamss advice ever since.
Liberalism Ancient and Modern. By Leo Strauss. Cornell University Press. 276 pages. $8.95.
The controversy provoked by Allan Blooms The Closing of the American Mind occasioned many dark mutterings (and a few frantic shrieks) about the perniciousness of something called Straussianism. Most people who tuned into the rumpus over Blooms book must have been puzzled by the term. Was it some new disease, a recently discovered syndrome that caused those infected to exhibit outlandish behavior? What a letdown to learn that it referred to nothing more exotic than the teachings propagated by disciples of the political philosopher Leo Strauss, a refugee from Nazi Germany who found asylum in the United States, where he lived and taught (mostly at the University of Chicago) until his death in 1973.
For those confused by talk about Straussianism, the best solution is to read Strauss himself, a task rendered easier by the reprinting of Liberalism Ancient and Modern, a collection of essays published first in 1968, and perhaps the best introduction to Strausss writings. The volume evidences two qualities of Strausss fertile mind: his ability to sweep his vision across the full vista of Western civilization, a talent displayed in two essays on liberal education; and second, his enthusiasm for painstaking explication of a text, a trait demonstrated in his analyses of Platos Minos, Lucretiuss De Rerum Natura, and Maimonidess The Guide of the Perplexed.
All the essays no matter how abstruse the subject reveal Strausss lucid prose and his knack for turning a phrase, neither of which generally characterizes the writings of political philosophers. One example suffices: It is as absurd, he muses in What Is Liberal Education?, to expect members of philosophy departments to be philosophers as it is to expect members of art departments to be artists.
Religion and Politics. Edited by Fred E. Baumann and Kenneth M. Jensen. University Press of Virginia. 114 pages. $10.95.
Despite an unimaginative title, this is an engaging collection of essays by Fr. Robert F. Drinan, Ernest L. Fortin, and others. The most fetching one is by Cornell Universitys Werner J. Dannhauser, if only because it raises a rarely discussed issue, the affinity of political conservatives for religion, and does so in a self-scrutinizing way (Dannhauser is a card-carrying conservative of the Straussian school).
Dannhauser tells us that the mockers of conservatism have a good point when they define a conservative as one who is against anything being done for the first time. The trouble, moreover, is that it is much easier to tell what is old than what is good. It is also vastly easier to tell what is old than what is true.
Dannhauser scolds his fellow conservatives for not adequately distinguishing between religions utility in maintaining social order and religions truth. He notes that the Founding Fathers, so revered by conservatives, were children of the Enlightenment who were more interested in religions social usefulness than its veracity. He finds the same flaw in Tocqueville, one of the patron saints of our neoconservatives. Nor is Dannhauser impressed with our recent religious revivals, which he finds quite shallow. In America today, he says, unbelief sets the tone. These are surely uncomfortable words for todays pious celebrators of America the Beautiful.
With annoyance, Dannhauser, a religious Jew, states that too many conservatives whose own belief is weak or nonexistent, who admit privately that religion is for the troops, continue to try to teach catechism to those troops . To his fellow conservatives he says, We must eschew the tendency to pay mere lip service to religion; we must grapple with its truth. Amen.
Curiously, Dannhauser notes that religion is no longer the monopoly of the Right. Religion now flowers on the political Left, and so, if only for practical reasons, the Right can ill afford to continue patronizing believers.
But, although Dannhauser doesnt say it, he would no doubt agree that the religious Left also needs to be much more attentive to its own inclinations to value religions utility (for social change) over its truth. As Dannhauser says, the city of man can never equal the city of God.
Stigmata: An Investigation into the Mysterious Appearance of Christs Wounds in Hundreds of People from Medieval Italy to Modern America. By Ian Wilson. Harper & Row. 164 pages. $17.95.
For Catholics who depend upon such phenomena as stigmata to vindicate the claims of Christianity, Ian Wilsons book is an ambiguous blessing. The good news is that he confirms the authenticity of the spontaneously bleeding wounds. His analysis of stigmatics, from St. Francis to so recent a figure as the Anglican Englishwoman, Jane Hunt, absolves all but a tiny handful of trickery or duplicity. The bad news is that Wilson concludes that a change in form can be willed upon the flesh by something beyond the normal consciousness of the stigmatic, without there being any justification for regarding that something as divine. Wilson argues that stigmaticism involves an extreme example of the power of mind over body, in this instance, taking the form of self-hypnosis and post-hypnotic suggestion.
Does this discredit or weaken the Christian religion? Some might see this as Wilsons purpose another scoffing unbeliever determined to expose superstition and mock credulity. Nothing could be further from the authors mind. Far from attacking the Catholic Church, he praises it for evincing a healthy skepticism over the centuries toward the claims of stigmatics. In this, the Church has acted wisely, generally neither condemning nor approving the stigmatics evidence of divine intervention. The Church has canonized some stigmatics one thinks of St. Francis and the two Catherines, of Siena and Genoa but it has done so because these people bodied forth the holiness God adjures us to practice, not because they bore (for whatever reason) physical wounds akin to those inflicted upon Christ.
The Book of Masks. By Hwang Sun-won. Readers International. 175 pages. $9.95.
The opening piece the spare, elliptical Masks establishes the tone of irony, understatement, and poignancy that prevails throughout this volume of stories by one of South Koreas most illustrious writers. His blood soaked into the earth and became earth. The dead soldier had been a farmer and for him soil was life itself. War and social turmoil the Korean War of 1950-1953 and the student protests that helped topple Syngman Rhees government in 1960 form the backdrop to many of these stories. In Conversation in June About Mothers, a woman drowns her wailing infant to save the lives of a group of refugees fleeing from North Kore an soldiers. A prostitute aids a wounded student demonstrator in For Dear Life, and another story features an old man dubbed Uncle Medal because of his penchant for recounting tales of his dead sons war exploits.
Yet Hwang Sun-won is no social realist or composer of journalism in the guise of fiction. Mostly his stories capture small moments in seemingly insignificant lives. But as the author reveals repeatedly with Songil, the crippled bell-ringer in Shadows of a Sound, with the child in Blood, and with the devoted nurse in Winter Forsythias no life is insignificant. Hwang Sun-won reminds one too of the universality of loneliness, heartache, compassion, and pity, and of the terrible briefness of joy.

"The president says privately and publicly, often, George, that he'll be president for seven-and-a-half more years, so he plans on being a two-term president," Conway told TV host George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
She dismissed a recent New York Times report that suggested uncertainty about Trump's plans for a second presidential bid in 2020.
The New York Times reported on Saturday that Republicans, particularly Vice President Mike Pence, were already putting together their presidential campaigns amid growing doubts about Trump's future in office.
The report also said some of Pence's top aides have privately discussed a possible campaign.
Conway rejected the Times report that Pence will run against Trump in the next election.
"It is absolutely true that the vice president is getting ready for 2020, for reelection as vice president," she said, adding "that is complete fiction, complete fabrication."
According to a recent survey, Trump's six-month approval rating is the lowest of any president in polls in 70 years.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll released last month surveyed people's opinion about Trump's competence on the world stage, his effectiveness, the GOP healthcare plan as well as his handling of Russia's alleged role in the 2016 election.
Only 36 percent of Americans approve of Trump's job performance, down 6 points from his 100-day mark, which itself was a low.
The previous president, whose approval rating was very close to this level at or near six months, was Gerald Ford, who received 39 percent in February 1975.

Going The Distance
From The Kansas City Star:
FORDLAND, Mo. — Matt Suter can't get the tornado out of his head — or his ears.Quick question - so do trailer homes attract tornadoes?
Every time a late-night freight train thunders past, Suter wakes up and remembers the vicious twister that pulled him from his home March 12 and landed him in a pasture — a quarter-mile away.
Suter's harrowing encounter has brought him sudden fame, with national media exposure. One tornado expert said he knew of no one who traveled as far as Suter did in a tornado and lived to tell about it.
"It's a pretty awkward record to have," the 19-year-old senior at Fordland High School said.
The soft-spoken Suter did not court attention about his experience, which was not reported publicly until a week after it happened...
...He was trying to shut a window in the living room, and his grandmother was in the kitchen, when the tornado struck, he said.
"The window busted, and the door got sucked out," Suter said. "I looked at my grandmother, and the walls were like Jell-O. The trailer was rocking back and forth. I jumped between the coffee table and couch, and I remember the trailer tipping."
His grandmother, Linda Kelley, said Suter had hollered at her in the trailer, and when she came into the kitchen "I turned around to look at where he was, and that whole end of the trailer was just gone."
A large heavy glass lamp struck Suter on the top of his head, knocking him unconscious, he said.
When he came to, Suter found himself in a soft, grassy pasture. Last week a global positioning satellite device used by National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Gaede measured the distance at 1,307 feet from the trailer site.
