This week we reach the midpoint of winter, marked by the cross-quarter day of Imbolc. Traditionally, Imbolc begins at sundown on February 1st & continues through February 2nd.
Imbolc is an ancient Gaelic holiday celebrating the very first stirrings of new life–the earliest breaths of spring. Even though there may still be snow on the ground where you are, even if it's freezing cold outside, we are beginning to feel the very earliest hints of spring rising in our spirits.
After months of turning inward, of hibernation & of rest, life is beginning to stir again.
Read all about the meaning of Imbolc & how its energy affects you here. You'll also find journal Qs for this powerful time of year here.
Here are 2 sweet rituals you can perform to observe this sacred seasonal day. If you're able, I recommend doing them both in the order listed.
Take a Cleansing Bath
The purpose of this part of the ritual is to cleanse, not only your body, but also your mind & soul. It's a chance to meditate & reflect upon the things you'd like to rinse away.
✧ Set the mood by lighting candles & turning off harsh overhead light. Light some incense or diffuse essential oils with a scent you find soothing or inspiring. Play some music, if you find that relaxing. (I have the perfect playlist here.)
✧ As you run the bath, add some epsom salt & any herbs you find relaxing.
– The best way to do this is to tie herbs into a muslin cloth or bag, and hang it on the faucet so that the warm bathwater runs through it into the tub.
– Herbs associated with cleansing include: sage, chamomile, cinnamon, lemon balm, sandalwood, lavendar, rosemary, peppermint.
✧ Once you've filled the bath with warm water, immerse yourself in the tub. Spend several minutes allowing yourself to just relax completely. Let your mind clear. Focus on the warmth enveloping you. Close your eyes & become attuned to your body.
✧ Spend several minutes visualizing all the negative energy in your body. As you focus, imagine the negativity being swept out of your body, one particle at a time, through your pores. See any negativity being released from your body. Think about how rejuvenating the bath is. See your body, your spirit, and your soul being cleansed & purified by the herbs & the water.
✧ When you feel ready, stand up and get out of the tub. After you've gotten out of the water, release the plug so that all the negativity absorbed by the water can be drained away.
Imbolc Candle Ritual
This ritual is adapted from a ritual written by Patti Wigington
SUPPLIES: 4 tea candles & something to light them with
✧ Light the first candle & say:
Although it is now dark, I come seeking light.
In the chill of winter, I come seeking life.
✧ Light the second candle & say:
I call upon fire, that melts the snow and warms the hearth.
I call upon fire, that brings the light and makes new life.
I call upon fire to purify me with your flames.
✧ Light the third candle & say:
Like fire, light and love will always grow.
Like fire, wisdom and inspiration will always grow.
✧ Finally, light the last candle. As you do so, visualize the four flames coming together as one. As the light builds, see the energy growing in a purifying glow.
Fire of the hearth, blaze of the sun,
cover me in your shining light.
I am awash in your glow, and tonight I am made pure.
✧ Take a few moments and meditate on the light of your candles. Think about this sacred day, a time of healing and inspiration and purification.
Do you have something damaged that needs to be healed? Are you feeling stagnant, for lack of inspiration? Is there some part of your life that feels toxic or tainted? Visualize the light as a warm, enveloping energy that wraps itself around you, healing your ailments, igniting the spark of creativity, and purifying that which is damaged.
✧ Spend a few minutes afterward writing your thoughts & reflections in your journal.

Within a few decades, the global dream of building a middle class society has vanished almost everywhere, giving way to an emerging global nightmare: Social Exclusion . France and Japan had been among the most successful societies, taken as examples by the rest of the world that it is indeed possible for a nation to include almost an entire population in the middle class. However, even these two countries have suffered increasing disillusion since the 1980s. This book analyses and contrasts the French and Japanese experiences of social exclusion. Although social exclusion in France and Japan are in many respects quite similar and in important respects they are quite different. Using a wide array of methodologies, the authors present a diverse range of perspectives on the problematic of social exclusion as well as suggesting various ways that it might be resolved.

"Chronicle" director Josh Trank has taken to Twitter to shoot down the various rumors emerging regarding his next gig – 20th Century Fox's "The Fantastic Four" reboot.
Trank shot down the latest rumor, that there would be a gender switch for the villain character Dr. Doom. In recent weeks he shot down the Josh Gad casting rumor, the 'radical new origin' story, and an apparent leaked synopsis.
Trank longs for a time "when movies only had tv spots, trailers, and bits in print before they came out." He does go on to say: "all of the rumors I've debunked so far were really false, except for one of them." That rumor? He doesn't say though most likely that of Miles Teller testing for Reed Richards.

CONCORD — With the encouragement of the LRGHealthcare, Inc., Sen. Kathy Sgambati, D-Tilton, has introduced legislation that could affect how insurance health carriers report potential provider shortages or contract disputes to the state insurance commissioner.
If passed as written, LRGHealthcare's chief financial officer, Henry Lipman, said, Senate Bill-63-FN "is the first step in trying to provide transparency for consumers and patients during disputes between physicians and insurance carriers" such as the oftentimes rocky contract negotiations in recent years between health care providers and Lakes Region General Hospital.
"I equate it to buying a car," said Lipman. "It's more than just the price. You want to know if there is local service and local parts available."
Translating that to insurance carriers, Lipman said people and businesses should know if the provider network with which they are about to contract will be providing the medical services it says it will.
"For example, during the dispute last year between Lakes Region General Hospital physicians and Anthem, access to all obstetricians and gynecologists in the Lakes Region would have been eliminated if that dispute had not been settled," said Lipman, who provided a transcript of his testimony before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee early last week.
While there are many regulations and laws that factor into healthcare provider networks and contracts, Lipman believes this reporting requirement will bring a little more transparency to a process clogged with red tape and bureaucracy.
On the other hand, former insurance commissioner and registered insurance lobbyist Paula Rogers said that, while she believes Lipman's desire for more user access to what a network would look like, she said she has "very mixed feelings" about whether S.B. 63-FN will accomplish its stated goals.
"As the law is now, the carrier needs to demonstrate the network remains adequate," she said.
Rogers said recent negotiations between Anthem and LRGHealthcare have been "hard-fought" but, in reality, most times the negotiations work out.
"We really don't see this bill as helping," she said, adding that Anthem probably would continue to oppose it. "Report requirements may make negotiation even more contentious," she said.
Sgambati said the hearing on SB-63-FN will reconvene at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3, in Room 103 at the State House in Concord.

Name that draw bridge
Recent travels took me across this unique draw bridge somewhere along the east coast. Its long history connects two small towns divided by a deep river. Before the current incarnation, oxen were used to draw open a wooden version for tall mast ships. Can you name its location?

George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, is dead at age 94
George Herbert Walker Bush, the nation's 41st President who also was a fighter pilot, congressman, CIA chief and the father of an Oval Office successor, died Friday night. He was 94.
Bush, who was president from 1989 to 1993, suffered a form of Parkinson's disease and late in life got around with a motorized scooter or a wheelchair.
On the day of his wife Barbara's funeral April 21, 2018, Bush was front-and-center in his wheelchair in a photograph with fellow former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and his son, former president George W. Bush, along with their first ladies and First Lady Melania Trump. That day he wore a pair of socks decorated with pictures of books — his way of remembering Barbara Bush's advocacy of literacy.
Barbara Bush was known in her family as "The Enforcer." In a statement issued the day after she died, Bush said: "We have faith she is in heaven, and we know that life will go on -- as she would have it. So cross the Bushes off your worry list." The Bushes were married for 73 years.
A day after his wife's funeral, Bush was hospitalized in Houston with an infection that landed him in intensive care. His spokesman said Bush was expected to make a full recovery. Citing ill health and his wife decided not to attend President Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017.
"My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it likely will put me six feet under. Same for Barbara. So I guess we're stuck in Texas," Bush wrote in a letter to Trump.

We see time and time again how many of the texts that we read have multiple meanings. These interpretations are Equally legitimate because of the richness of the Scriptures which most certainly inspired by God. In the story of the prodigal son is found in Luke 15 in the context of things that have been lost. A lost sheep, then a lost coin and then finally a lost son. In the context there are some pharisees who are complaining that Jesus is eating and receiving sinners. It is these three parables that are a response to the grumbling of the Pharisees. Jesus is just showing on a natural level that it is perfectly understandable about how someone could get excited about repentant sinners being FOUND by God.
On another level though with the story of the prodigal son there is more going on, and we know this by the vocabulary that Jesus uses, reflects vocabulary in the Old Testament about two nations.
The tribes of Israel under David became one nation, but during the reign of his grandson the one nation split in two the Nation of Israel in the North and Judah in the South. Many people reading the Old Testament think that these names are synonymous, but that would be a mistake. Israel and Judah are like two brothers that live near one another and have a kind of animosity toward one another, like the brothers in the Prodigal son story.
These two nations are in fact related to the story of the prodigal son. It is interesting historically what happens to Israel in the North. They are taken captive by the Assyrians in 722 BC and go to a far country. Like where the younger son takes his inheritance and squanders it is in a country far off.
Now Israel had been punished by God because they had been worshiping false gods and persecuting those Loyal to the Law of Moses like the prophet Elijah. So God says in effect, Hey you want to worship the gods of the nations, go there and worship them like they do.
Of course one they get there, they desire to come home and worship the true God, and it is during the time of Jesus that this all happens. The sinners, not just those idolaters of ancient Israel, but all sinners are now invited back home by the Father who awaits them with open arms.
The verses in the Old testament that point us to this story in the New Testament begin in Genesis 48:14 14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, who was the younger,
Ephraim was literally the youngest of the tribes of Israel.
- Luke talks about a famine in the land where the son went. In the context God is talking to Israle in the North.
Amos 8:11 11 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.
- Luke talks about the son considering going home. Hosea is as well talking to those in Israel in the North.
Hosea 2:6-9 6 Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns; and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers, but not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them. Then she shall say, `I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better with me then than now.'
8 And she did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold which they used for Baal.
9 Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my wine in its season; and I will take away my wool and my flax, which were to cover her nakedness.
Now that the Son is returning, the older son who has been with the father the whole time shows his disfavor with the younger brother. Just like those who had remained faithful to God namely the Pharisees where counting the tax collectors and sinners to be disqualified from the kingdom of heaven because they were coming home a bit late.
All of this reminds me of another parable in Matthew 20 where the landowner goes out at different times of the day and get laborers to work in his field but at the end of the day pays them all the same wage. Those who started earlier complain that those who came late should not be paid the same. but the landowner (God) says "Hey I can spend my money however I like."
So we should spend our time helping God spend His money (grace) wildly on those who have come early and those who might be a bit late.

For The Girl are a high energy Indie Pop Rock band from Nottingham, and with their unique style bring something fun to the scene. Following the release of the first single 'Where Did The Time Go?' from their debut EP 'Shark Attack' the band are certainly starting to cause quite a stir. I take a moment to chat to the guys to find out more about how it's all going.
How did you all meet and what made you decide to start up the band?
We all met through different avenues. Josh and Sam met in a band where Sam was the drummer. We then realised Sam could sing so they started an acoustic project. Through this, we then met Isaac Hallas who would come to our gigs and jump up when we needed an insane guitar solo. James came to one of our acoustic gigs and wrote some bass lines for our originals, quickly showing us that he was, in fact, a musical God. Foxy and Sam had the same drum teacher and joined the band when we realised we needed a drummer. The rest is history.
What got you all in to making music, and were any of you in bands previously?
Making music has always been our passion. We all grew up listening to music that inspired us and our goal is to do the same with our music. To have a crowd sing back your lyrics or dance to your songs has always been the main goal. We have been in various bands, as mentioned, but maybe those bands were too comfortable for us. We all have different music tastes in this band and we are mixing them together to create something new, exciting and enjoyable.
Your sound and vocals are very individual. Who would you say influences your music and style?
We all have so many different bands and styles of music that inspire us individually. Foxy enjoys his metal like Metallica, James loves funk with artists such as Stevie Wonder (who he recently saw live) and Victor Wooten. Isaac is a big fan of the 1975, Young Kato and anything involving Slash, Josh enjoys Arctic Monkeys, The Sherlocks, Vant etc., and Sam loves them all (but he is really enjoying Brother Strut and their new album at the moment).
July and August are looking pretty jam packed for you with live dates in the Midlands. Are you looking to spread your wings and perform further afield later in the year?
Always! We have one tour confirmed with the lads from Only Shadows where we will get to play some familiar places and some new ones. We are yet to announce our second tour but keep those eyes peeled on all social media for it.
How responsive are you finding the crowds to your music?
They're loving it; we're loving them loving it! The EP launch was magical to have so many people turn up who had learnt the words and sang them at the top of their lungs and that meant the world to us.
You held an EP launch party on the 8th July and hailing from Nottingham it's easy to see why you're launching the EP at the Bodega. Nottingham has great live music venues, but is there a special reason behind choosing this venue?
The EP launch was huge and went so amazingly well! We all had very sore heads the day after from celebrating. We chose The Bodega because so many bands that we admire have played there at the start of their music careers and we wanted to join the list of amazing acts. The night was amazing and we loved every minute of it.
You've just released a video for your single 'Where Did The Time Go?' which is very fun and enjoyable to watch. Who do you work with to create your music videos, and who comes up with the ideas for them?
Shooting Where Did Time Go? was so much fun. We worked alongside Theo Gee and Ian Bousher, who we are also working with for a couple of other videos (watch this space). We had never shot a music video before and the main aim of this one was to highlight the band's personality, we aren't serious/moody and wanted that to come across. We were all so happy with the end result.
Tell me about your writing process. Do you write collectively, and what's your process?
We don't actually have a process, we can't even put our finger on how it comes about! Isaac brings the spine of the song with lyrics and then we try different ways of playing the song until we get something we are proud of.
What's the best advice you've been given about working in the music industry, and who provided you with those wise words?
One of the best pieces of advice that I have had (Josh) was from one of my favourite bands: Natives. They said that we should never be bothered with what any other band is doing and focus on ourselves and make music that we like, we are the ones playing it at the end of the day so it should always be enjoyable and not some contest. Working with other bands is half the fun of all of this anyway!
Do you have an ultimate aim for the band, and where do you hope your music will take you?
The main aim of the band is for as many people to enjoy the music that we are putting out there as possible. We want people to know that when they come to our gigs, they are going to dance around and sing as loud as they can and have our songs stuck in their head the next morning.

Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Československá socialistická republika
) was the official name of
from 1960 until early 1990 (i.e. shortly after the
Velvet Revolution
), a Soviet
Satellite State
of the
Eastern Bloc
Following the
coup d'état of February 1948
, when
backed by the
Soviet Union
definitively took power, the country was declared a
people's republic
after the
Ninth-of-May Constitution
became effective.
The traditional name
Československá republika
Czechoslovak Republic
) was changed on July 11, 1960 following implementation of the
1960 Constitution of Czechoslovakia
as a symbol of the "final victory of socialism" in the country, and remained so until the
fall of communism
in Czechoslovakia. Several other state symbols were changed in 1960.
Before the
invasion of Czechoslovakia, in 1943, Czechoslovakian leader in exile
Edvard Beneš
agreed to Soviet leader
Joseph Stalin
's demands for unconditional agreement with Soviet foreign policy and the
Beneš decrees
While Beneš was not a Moscow cadre and several domestic reforms of other
Eastern Bloc
countries were not part Beneš' plan, Stalin did not object because the plan included property expropriation and he was satisfied with the relative strength of communists in Czechoslovakia compared to other Eastern Bloc countries.
In April 1945, the Third Republic, a national front coalition ruled by three socialist parties, was formed. Because of the
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
's strength (they held 114 of 300 seats) and Beneš' loyalty, unlike in other
Eastern Bloc
countries, the Kremlin did not require Bloc politics or "reliable" cadres in Czechoslovakian power positions, and the executive and legislative branches retained their traditional structures. However, thereafter, the Soviet Union was disappointed that the government failed to eliminate "bourgeois" influence in the army, expropriate industrialists and large landowners and eliminate parties outside of the "National Front". Hope in Moscow was waning for a communist victory in the 1948 elections following a May 1947 Kremlin report concluded that "reactionary elements" praising western democracy had strengthened.
Following Czechoslovakia's brief consideration of taking
Marshall Plan
funds, and the subsequent scolding of communist parties by the
Szklarska Poręba
in September 1947,
Rudolf Slánský
returned to
with a plan for the final seizure of power, including the
's elimination of party enemies and purging of dissidents.
Thereafter, Soviet Ambassador
Valerian Zorin
arranged the
Czechoslovak coup d'état
, followed by the occupation of non-Communist ministers' ministries, while the army was confined to barracks. On February 25, 1948, Beneš, fearful of civil war and Soviet intervention, capitulated and appointed a
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
(KSČ)-dominated government under the leadership of Stalinist
Klement Gottwald
, who was sworn in two days later, ushering in a dictatorship. The only non-Communist to hold an important office,
Jan Masaryk
, was found dead two weeks later.
After passage of the
Ninth-of-May Constitution
on June 9, 1948, the country became a
People's Republic
until 1960. Beneš had previously refused to sign the Ninth-of-May Constitution. The Ninth-of-May Constitution confirmed that the KSČ possessed absolute power, as other Communist parties had in the
Eastern Bloc
. On July 11, 1960, the
1960 Constitution of Czechoslovakia
was promulgated, changing the name of the country from the "
Czechoslovak Republic
" to the "
Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Main articles:
History of Czechoslovakia
Czechoslovakia in 1969
Except for a short period in the late 1960s (the
Prague Spring
) the country was characterized by the absence of democracy and competitiveness with the Western European nations as part of the
Cold War
. In the religious sphere,
was officially promoted and taught. In 1969, Czechoslovakia was turned into a
of the
Czech Socialist Republic
Slovak Socialist Republic
. Under the federation, social and economic inequities between the Czech and Slovak halves of the state were largely eliminated. A number of ministries, such as Education, were formally transferred to the two republics. However, the centralized political control by the Communist Party severely limited the effects of federalization.
The 1970s saw the rise of the
movement in Czechoslovakia, represented (among others) by
Václav Havel
. The movement sought greater political participation and expression in the face of official disapproval, making itself felt by limits on work activities (up to a ban on any professional employment and refusal of higher education to the dissident's children), police harassment and even prison time.
In late 1989, the country became a democratic country again through the
Velvet Revolution
In 1992, the federal parliament decided to
the country into the
Czech Republic
, as of January 1, 1993.
Neighbour states were:
West Germany
East Germany
People's Republic of Poland
Soviet Union
People's Republic of Hungary
Administrative divisions
1960–1992: 10 regions [kraje],
, and (since 1970)
; divided in 109–114 districts [okresy]; the kraje were abolished temporarily in Slovakia in 1969–1970 and for many functions since 1991 in Czechoslovakia; in addition, the two republics Czech Socialist Republic and Slovak Socialist Republic were established in 1969.
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
(KSČ) led initially by First Secretary
Klement Gottwald
, held a monopoly on politics,. Following the 1948
Tito-Stalin split
Berlin Blockade
, increased party
occurred throughout the
Eastern Bloc
, including a purge of 550,000 party members of the KSČ, which comprised 30% of its members. Approximately 130,000 people were sent to prisons, labor camps and mines. The evolution of the resulting harshness of purges in Czechoslovakia, like much of its history after 1948, was a function of the late takeover by the communists, with many of the purges focusing on the sizable numbers of party members with prior memberships in other parties. The purges accompanied various
show trials
, including those of
Rudolf Slánský
Vladimír Clementis
, Ladislav Novomeský and
Gustáv Husák
(Clementis was later executed). Slánský and eleven others were convicted together of being "Trotskyist-zionist-titoist-bourgeois-nationalist traitors" in one series of
show trials
, after which they were executed and their ashes were mixed with material being used to fill roads on the outskirts of Prague.
Antonín Novotny
served as
First Secretary
of the KSČ from 1953 to 1968.
Gustáv Husák
was elected first secretary of KSČ in 1969 (changed to general secretary in 1971) and president of Czechoslovakia in 1975. Other parties and organizations existed but functioned in subordinate roles to KSČ. All political parties, as well as numerous mass organizations, were grouped under the umbrella of National Front of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Human rights activists and religious activists were severely repressed.
In terms of political positions, the KSČ maintained the
and the
lists, with the latter containing every post in each country that was important to the smooth application of party policy, including military posts, administrative positions, directors of local enterprises, social organization administrators, newspapers, etc. The KSČ's
lists were thought to contain 100,000 post listings. The names of those that the party considered to be trustworthy enough to secure a
post were compiled on the
The Czechoslovakian economy was a
centrally planned
command economy
with links controlled by the communist party, similar to the
Soviet Union
It had a large metallurgical industry, but was dependent on imports for iron and nonferrous ores. Like the rest of the Eastern Bloc, producer goods were favored over consumer goods, causing consumer goods to be lacking in quantity and quality. This resulted in
shortage economies
. Economic growth rates lagged well behind Czechoslovakia's western European counterparts. Investments made in industry did not yield the results expected, and consumption of energy and raw materials was excessive. Czechoslovak leaders themselves decried the economy's failure to modernize with sufficient speed.
Industry: Extractive and manufacturing industries dominated sector. Major branches included machinery, chemicals, food processing, metallurgy, and textiles. Industry was wasteful of energy, materials, and labor and slow to upgrade technology, but was a source of high-quality machinery and arms for other communist countries.
Agriculture: Minor sector but supplied bulk of food needs. Dependent on large imports of grains (mainly for livestock feed) in years of adverse weather. Meat production constrained by shortage of feed, but high per capita consumption of meat.
Foreign Trade: Exports estimated at US$17.8 billion in 1985, of which 55% was machinery, 14% fuels and materials, and 16% manufactured consumer goods. Imports at estimated US$17.9 billion in 1985, of which 41% was fuels and materials, 33% machinery, and 12% agricultural and forestry products. In 1986, about 80% of foreign trade was with communist countries.
Exchange Rate: Official, or commercial, rate Kcs 5.4 per US$1 in 1987; tourist, or noncommercial, rate Kcs 10.5 per US$1. Neither rate reflected purchasing power. The exchange rate on the
black market
was around Kcs 30 per US$1, and this rate became the official one once the currency became convertible in the early 1990s.
Fiscal Year: Calendar year.
Fiscal Policy: State almost exclusive owner of means of production. Revenues from state enterprises primary source of revenues followed by
turnover tax
. Large budget expenditures on social programs, subsidies, and investments. Budget usually balanced or small surplus.
Resource base
After WWII, the country was short on energy, relying on imported crude oil and natural gas from the Soviet Union, domestic brown coal, and nuclear and hydroelectric energy. Energy constraints were a major factor in 1980s.
Society and social groups
has always been an option for Czechs and Slovaks dissatisfied with the situation at home. Each wave of emigration had its own impetus. In the nineteenth century, the reasons were primarily economic. In the twentieth century, emigration has largely been prompted by political turmoil, though economic factors still play a role. The first major wave of emigration in the 20th century came after the communists came to power, and the next wave began after the
Prague Spring
was suppressed.
In the 1980s the most popular way to emigrate to the West was to travel to
by automobile and, once there, take a detour to
, or
(Yugoslav border restrictions were not as strict as those of the Warsaw Pact nations).
Only a small percentage of those who applied to emigrate legally could do so. The exact details of the process have never been published, but a reasonably clear picture can be gleaned from those who have succeeded. It is a lengthy and costly process. Those applicants allowed to even consider emigration have been required to repay the state for their education, depending on their level of education and salary, at a rate ranging from 4,000 Kčs to 10,000 Kčs. (The average yearly wage was about Kčs33,600 in 1984.) The applicant was likely to lose his job and be socially
. Technically, at least, such emigres would be allowed to return for visits. Those who had been politically active, such as Charter 77 signatories found it somewhat easier to emigrate, but they have not been allowed to return and reportedly have had to pay the state exorbitant fees—Kčs23,000 to as much as Kčs80,000—if they had graduated from a university. Old-age pensioners had no problem visiting or emigrating to the West. The reasons for this were purely economic; if they decided to stay in the West, the state no longer had to pay their pension.
There is (and always was) a huge discrepancy between "official statistics" (i.e. numbers issued by communist regime) on how many people emigrated from
and refugee statistics published by
, which was collecting data on "illegal
This discrepancy was not specific to Czechoslovakia only; a similar situation applied for all
Eastern Bloc
countries, as their totalitarian regimes preferred to downplay and suppress real numbers.
Official statistics for the early 1980s show that, on the average, 3,500 people emigrated legally each year. From 1965 to 1983, a total of 33,000 people emigrated legally. This figure undoubtedly included a large number of ethnic Germans resettled in East Germany.
The largest émigré communities are located in
West Germany
, the
United States
, and
Unofficial figures are much larger.
It is estimated that between 1948 and 1989 close to 1 million people left communist
The largest exoduses occurred following the communist takeover in February 1948 and following the
Warsaw pact occupation of Czechoslovakia
in 1968, with around 200 000 people leaving in each wave. A very similar 200 000-strong refugee wave left Hungary in 1956 after their failed anti-communist revolution. In the fifties, when the regime was at its harshest and the "
Iron Curtain
" was close to impenetrable, emigration was very low. It increased between 1969 and 1989, when close to 40 000 people were leaving the country each year. All of them were sentenced to imprisonment
in absentia
by the communist regime for leaving the country illegally.
In 1991: Roman Catholics 46.4%, Evangelic Lutheran 5.3%, Atheist 29.5%, n/a 16.7%, but there were huge differences between the 2 constituent republics – see
Czech Republic
Health, social welfare and housing
After WWII, free health care was available to all citizens. National health planning emphasized preventive medicine; factory and local health-care centers supplemented hospitals and other inpatient institutions. Substantial improvement in rural health care in 1960s and 1970s.
Mass media
The mass media in Czechoslovakia was controlled by the
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia
(KSČ). Private ownership of any publication or agency of the mass media was generally forbidden, although churches and other organizations published small periodicals and newspapers. Even with this informational monopoly in the hands of organizations under KSČ control, all publications were

A 1967 outbreak of the "Marburg" virus (MARV) first brought to light the dangers of viral hemorrhagic fevers caused by viruses of the filoviridae family. After an outbreak in 2012 a death from a MARV infection was recently noted in Uganda. Other members of the filovirus family, namely the Ebola viruses (EBOV), are even more lethal. The members of this genus are named after the location of their major outbreaks, Zaire (ZEBOV), Sudan (SEBOV), Reston, VA (RESTOV) and Cote d'Ivoire (CIEBOV). Numerous outbreaks of viruses have been observed in the last 40 years (WHO). The most devastating outbreak so far was caused by a mutated version of ZEBOV. It first appeared in December 2013 and has spread through several countries in Western Africa, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. It has been spreading in an uncontrolled fashion and has led to several thousand infections and deaths (WHO). Travelers infected with the disease have reached Europe and the US leading to secondary transfers of the disease to nurses in Spain and the US (WHO). Neither therapeutic drugs nor vaccines are presently available to combat any of these infections.
In November 2014, Greffex initiated discussions with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) about the construction of a GreVAX-based Ebola vaccine. Due to the earlier success with GreMERSfl and GreFluVie, Greffex was invited by NIAID to deliver an Ebola vaccine candidate to be tested in nonhuman primates. Greffex initiated the construction of its GreZEBm vaccine candidate. It was completed within one month. In parallel, the Company's scientists developed a stringent testing protocol that took into consideration the medical realities found in Western Africa. Their goal was closely to approximate future clinical trials. In early February 2015, Greffex delivered its GreVAX-based GreZEBm vaccine to NIAID for these protective studies in NHPs.

Fireman's outfit, pristine cello, 1 million sports cards
San Diego Reader Classified ads, December 4, 2019
3 p.m., Dec. 6
3000 Upas Street, North Park
Take a look at the noodle landscape surrounding San Diego's urban core these days, and you'll find a dozen dedicated ramen bars. But when Consortium Holdings opened Underbelly in Little Italy five years ago, most of the city's ramen was found in Kearny Mesa.
Underbelly quickly became a regular stop of mine. Open late and conveniently located on the way home from the gym, its ten-dollar signature Underbelly bowl of ramen stacked with soft boiled egg, pork belly, bacon, and kurabata sausage quickly evolved from habit to craving, and soon the whole staff knew me by name.
But it wasn't just the variety of meats, affordability, and ghost chili pepper paste that kept bringing me back. It was the rich, creamy white tonkotsu with hints of ginger, garlic, and sesame flowing through hours'-steeped pork bone marrow broth. While some in town joked often about the soup car's very Consortium-like refusal to provide spoons, I just grabbed the bowl by both hands and drank it in.
It's only after Underbelly added a second, larger location in North Park in 2014 that it started to change. I was initially excited by menu additions including a miso-based broth served with corn and chicken toppings, but the fried, bone-in chicken didn't do it for me, and the miso couldn't compete with its tonkotsu.
Then a year or so back, Underbelly brought in a new excutive chef, and the kurabata sausage disappeared from the Underbelly bowl in favor of adobo pulled pork. I embraced the change at first, but with the new topping, the broth also changed. It became less creamy white and more beige, acquiring a thinner body and a saltier earthier taste.
In the meantime, names such as Tajima, Yamadaya, and RakiRaki were moving into the downtown/uptown area, giving me plenty of other ramen choices. I didn't give up on Underbelly entirely, but its top spot in my ramen-hungry heart gave way to other tonoktsu broths and chashu pork.
Last month Underbelly unveiled a new menu, brought about by another new executive chef. I was excited to revisit, hoping to recapture some of that old magic. I discovered the Underbelly ramen nixed the bacon. But when I learned a new chicken ramen featured a boneless chicken confit served with corn and bamboo shoots in a tonkotsu broth, I had high hopes.
I was disappointed. Though I'm a massive fan of sesame, the new broth had enough to give it a nutty flavor, slightly pasty texture, and a dull brown cloudiness, rather than white. Red chili paste added spice but compounded the separation of fat from the broth as a whole, further detracting from what was once a beautifully creamy texture. On the plus side, the pulled chicken confit was tender and juicy, its saltiness balanced nicely by the sweetness of the crisp corn. I added an optional veggie topping — carrots and broccoli — which didn't make it better, but did at least balance the meal nutritionally.
In most things I'm not averse to change, but I wish the Underbelly of 2017 was more like the Underbelly of 2012. Perhaps its evolving ramen is meant to keep up with a local population more attuned to ramen life, but I can't help but think that if that Underbelly had debuted with its current menu, I wouldn't even be having this conversation.

"Never let what someone else thinks you can't do stop you from doing what your Heart knows that you can. Dance on!" … Susanne
There is always going to be somebody who thinks that they know more than everyone else. At the other end of the spectrum there's always going to be someone who is convinced that they know nothing. Ironically the reaction of BOTH of these diverse self-opinions is often times exactly the same. All too often I see both the supremely arrogant AND the painfully insecure adopt the Make-Yourself-Feel-Bigger-by-Making-Someone-Else-Feel-Smaller approach to life.
Some of us were subjected to this less-than-stellar communication style through parents who were too wounded to take care of themselves … never mind support us. Sometimes we're exposed to it through organizations who use The Divine as their excuse for abusive behavior. And sadly … sometimes it's the very governments whose job it is to protect our freedoms who … in times of economic or philosophical challenges … resort to the "my dog's better than your dog" attitude.
Ultimately it doesn't matter who … where … or why. What matters is finding ways to move on after the dust settles. What matters is finding ways to consign the violators of our hearts and minds to their rightful place … namely, in the past and in the trash bin of our memories. Before their abuse … and now … after it … we were and we remain awesome sparks whom Capital "L" Life cherishes & believes in. It knows what we have forgotten. It knows why we came … the melodies of our Heart-Songs … and how well we dance The Dance of Life. Now … in these often challenging days … it's time for us to remember as well. It's time for us to set aside anyone and everyone else's opinions of what we can't do and it's time to do what our Hearts and Life know that we can. It's time to dance again.

An earthworm split in half becomes two worms
First of all, ew. Second of all, if an earthworm is cut in two it will not become two worms. The head end of the worm may live and regenerate its back end if it was severed behind the clitellum; but the old tail will die. However, the super fascinating planarian flatworm – a tiny freshwater worm from a different phylum than earthworms – is able to reform its entire body from slivers as teensy as 1/300th of the critter's original body size.

Book Review: Trust Me, I'm Lying
This was one depressing read.
Don't get me wrong, the book itself is brilliant. Ryan Holiday is a hell of a writer that knows his stuff. What's depressing is the content he exposes: the current state of the online media. Mr. Holiday does a wonderful job of portraying the corrupt and greedy mess that goes around behind the scenes of blogs nowadays. Ryan, a self-proclaimed "media manipulator", shows us more than enough evidence on how broken the media is, and how this affects our everyday lives.
Holiday is not afraid to give us names to blame, without ever shying away from his own responsibility in creating this monster. From big names like Michael Arrington and Arianna Huffington, to smaller bloggers such as Irin Carmon, there's plenty of finger-pointing to go around. Again, always acknowledging his part behind this disaster.
The book is divided in two parts: "How Blogs Work" and "What Blogs Mean." On the first part, the author tells us how to manipulate the media and bloggers with nine blunt tactics. Ryan explains that he managed to achieve impressive results on his campaigns by "Telling bloggers what they want to hear" or "Killin' them with pageview kindness". One can't complain if one finds this sort of advice too crude for his or her taste. Early on, Holiday warns us:
"I didn't intend to, but I've helped pioneer a media system designed to trick, cajole, and steal every second of the most precious resource in the world – people's time. I'm going to show you every single one of these tricks, and what they man. What you choose to do with this information is up to you."
On the second part of the book, the author goes all out on stirring despair and impotence in the reader, by explaining how screwed we are as long as this corrupt system keeps working the way it has so far. This section is arguably the most important one of the book, because Holiday shatters many myths about the supposed benefits of the immediacy of online media, and what's happening to us because of these lies that we're buying into:
"Bloggers lie, distort, and attack because it is in their interest to do so. The medium believes it is giving the people what they want when it simplifies, sensationalizes, and panders. This creates countless opportunities for manipulation and influence. I now know what the cumulative effect of this manipulation is: Its effect is unreality. Surrounded by illusions, we lash out at our fellow man for his very humanness, congratulate ourselves as a cover for apathy, and confuse advertising with art. Reality. Our lives. Knowing what is important. Information. These have been the causalities."
As I thanked Ryan after finishing the book (he sent me a copy some weeks ago), I told him that I was angered and depressed, but that I liked it. He said that that's how he hopes to inspire change in our generation and the media. I was skeptic about his statement, but then I remembered the message I posted on Facebook at some point during the reading of the book:
"As I read and review Ryan Holiday's upcoming book, I feel an urge to gather my wisest entrepreneurial friends and scream "The media industry is making us retarded, LET'S DISRUPT THE F**K OUT OF IT!"
Maybe Ryan has a point on this whole "depression inspiring change" thing…
Below are some of my favorite excerpts from Trust Me, I'm Lying:
On conning the media:
"The assumptions of blogging and their owners present obvious vulnerabilities that people like me exploit. They allow us to control what is in the media, because the media is too busy chasing profits to bother trying to stop us. They are not motivated to care. Their loyalty is not to their audience but to themselves and their con. While ultimately this is reason to despair, I have found one small solace: Conning the conmen is one of life's most satisfying pleasures. And it's not even hard."
On single-use traffic:
"Whereas subscriptions are about trust, single-use traffic is all immediacy and impulse – even if the news has to be distorted to trigger it. Our news is what rises, and what rises is what spreads, and what spreads is what makes us angry or makes us laugh. Our media diet is quickly transformed into junk food, fake stories engineered by people like me to be consumed and passed around. It is the refined and processed sugars of the information food pyramid – out of the ordinary, unnatural, and deliberately sweetened."
On the indicators of professionalism:
"In a sane system, a political article that generated thousands of comments would be an indicator that something went wrong. It means the conversation descended into an unproductive debate about abortion or immigration, or devolved into mere complaining. But in the broken world of the web, it is the mark of a professional."
On stories' angles:
"Since bloggers must find an angle, they always do. Small news is made to look like big news. Nonexistent news is puffed up and made into news. The result is stories that look just like their legitimate counterparts, only their premise is wrong and says nothing. Such stories hook onto false pretenses, analyze a false subject, and inform falsely."
On our dependency of the web:
"The idea that the web is empowering is just a bunch of rattling, chattering talk. Everything you consume online has been "optimized" to make you dependent on it. Content is engineered to be clicked, glanced at, or found – like a trap designed to bait, distract, and capture you. Blogs are out to game you – to steal your time from you and sell it to advertisers – and they do this every day."
On the media's low standards for content:
"As media outlets grapple with tighter deadlines and smaller staffs, many of the old standards for verification, confirmation, and fact-checking are becoming impossible to maintain. Every blog has its own editorial policy, but few disclose it to readers. The material one site pulls from another can hardly be trusted when it's just as likely to have been written with low standards as with high ones."
On iterative journalism:
"Our friends Jeff Jarvis and Michael Arrington like to use the metaphor of beta to explain this new form of journalism – like how Google rolls our their new services with software bugs still in it. It's just like that, they say. They forget we're not dealing with software or ones and zeros; we're dealing with the news and information, and those things affect people's lives. Or more likely, Jarvis and Arrington know this and don't care, content to advocate a concept with painful consequences for everyone but them. It's made them wealthy and influential; what does it matter if the metaphor is wrong?"
"It is true that the iterative model can eventually get the story right, just like in theory Wikipedia perpetually moves toward higher quality pages. The distributed efforts of hundreds or thousands of blogs can aggregate a final product that may even be superior to what one dedicated newsroom could ever make. When they do, I'll gladly congratulate them – they can throw themselves a tweeter-tape parade for all I care – but I'll have to remind them when it's all over that it didn't make a difference. More people were mislead than helped."

Klari Reis uses the tools and techniques of science in her creative process, constantly experimenting with new ways to apply materials and methods. She is driven by curiosity and her desire to explore and document the natural and unnatural with a sense of wonder and joy. The artist currently works in San Francisco, close to one of the largest concentrations of life science companies in the world. Klari takes advantage of this proximity to collaborate with local biomedical companies and thus receive inspiration from the cutting edge of biological techniques and discoveries; this context grounds her artwork and lets her authoritatively explore the increasingly fuzzy line between the technological and the natural.The unifying theme of Klari's art is her mastery of a new media plastic, epoxy polymer, and the fine control she brings to its reactions with a constantly-expanding variety of dyes and pigments. The UV-resistant plastic, similar to resin, supplies a common framework for the methods and language that she uses to explore and express interactions of material and color on a microscopic level. Compositions display brightly colored smears, bumps and blobs atop aluminum and wood panels. She pigments the plastic with powders, oils, acrylics and industrial dyes, built up through many layers of the ultra-glossy plastic. The shapes and colors bleed, blur, shift, and spread becoming remarkable through their eccentric detail. A skilled technician with a studio for a laboratory, Klari has turned these processes of her own invention into science in the service of her art.

One of the things I appreciate most about working with students is how much I learn from the interaction. No two students are exactly alike, so while they may come to us for career-related advice, we are the ones who frequently benefit from the opportunity to hear a unique perspective and learn from each student's individual experience.
For example, the other day I was chatting with a student about his research experiences and his plans to apply to medical school. That in itself was not unusual. But he offered something else that struck me as incredibly insightful and mature: that though his plans right now are to attend medical school, getting into med school is not his primary focus. Instead, he's taken a much broader view of his undergraduate experience, incorporating interdisciplinary research, volunteer activities and international community service as pieces of a much larger puzzle. "If you focus on med school," he said, "it might happen, or it might not. But if you focus on getting a variety of experiences and becoming a better person, you'll be ready for whatever happens."
I couldn't have said it better myself. This is the kind of well-rounded and inherently resilient perspective that we aim for all students to acquire. It seems obvious to me now, but when I look back at my own undergraduate experience, I must confess that I didn't fully learn this lesson until much later. And yet, here it was, gift-wrapped in a casual conversation with a student about his long-term career goals.
It got me thinking about other career advice I've learned from students. My favourite example comes a graduate-level lab that I taught several years ago. There was one undergraduate student in the class, and she stood out immediately, not because she had the highest grades or the most experience, but because she asked great questions and really took advantage of the opportunity to try something new. Her attitude and initiative were so impressive that we offered her a research job based just on what we'd seen in a few hours in the lab. The lesson? Don't overlook even the most seemingly insignificant opportunities -- it's not always how much experience you have, but what you do with it that really counts.
Another memorable example is a student whose research project didn't turn out at all how she planned. Again, that alone is not unusual. It's pretty common to hit a dead end in a research project and have to rethink your approach. At first, when she told me her story, I expected to have to explain that such setbacks in research are normal and that it's not always a bad thing. But what surprised me was that she wasn't at all frustrated or concerned. In fact, she was genuinely grateful that things hadn't worked out, because it made her reconsider the assumptions she made, not just about her project, but about the type of work that she might want to do in the future.
I could go on, but perhaps it's best to sum up with the lesson that all of these examples illustrate, a lesson that students remind me of almost every day: Always keep your mind open to new possibilities and different perspectives. You never know who you're going to meet, what opportunities might arise, or what you might learn that you can apply to your career.

What is Significant?
The Williamstown Primary School No. 1183 complex, comprising the original school designed by HR Bastow and constructed by Beauland & Spencer in 1878, the Infant School designed by GW Watson and constructed by Shillabeer & Hallett in 1906 and the Moreton Bay Figs, Canary Island Pines and Elms at 111-119 Cecil Street, Williamstown.
The Williamstown Primary School No. 1183 complex is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.
Historically, it was the first government school established in Williamstown and the 1878 school boldly illustrates the optimistic new era of secular education made possible by the Free Education Act of 1872, while the 1906 infant school illustrates the change in educational philosophy during the early years of the twentieth century toward the provision of buildings to serve the particular needs of very young children. The complex as a whole forms part of an important group of public buildings, which dramatically illustrate the significant development that occurred in Williamstown during the late nineteenth century and is also important for its associations with people such as HR Bastow, John Longstaff, Sir John Norris CAM and Dr. George J. Jenkins. The mature trees are important for their associations with the important early period of development of the school and illustrate prevailing attitudes to landscape design of public places during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century (AHC criteria A4 and D2)
Aesthetically and architecturally, the 1878 school is significant for the impressive design by the notable government architect, HR Bastow, which was reputedly cited as the best school in the Australian Colonies by its contemporaries. The design, which was executed using a relatively uncommon material (basalt) achieved the full articulation of the various architectural elements generally used under Bastow such as the distinctive 'E' plan, crossing spires, intersecting roof gables and semi-detached round tower. The 1878 school is also part of a public building precinct where local stone is prevalent. Architecturally, the 1906 infant school by GW Watson incorporated new and innovative design features, which influenced school design for years to come. The setting of the school is enhanced by the mature exotic trees, which contribute to the historic cultural landscape in this area. (AHC criteria E1 and F1)
Socially, the school is significant for its strong associations with the development of Williamstown during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. (AHC criterion G1)
Note: Building and associated land are also included on the Victorian Heritage Register as VHR H1639.

This is a period in my life that didn't go as I thought it would.
My focus has changed without my knowing. I'm not good with change.
But I plan on doing what I have always done. I'm going to relax, reflect and refocus on what makes me happy.
So…here's a rough list of what I'm thankful for….
- a healthy kid– that's a big one, right? I hope more people out there take the time to kiss their fever less child at night…to pray in thankfulness at the days not waiting on a doctor's answer. I have the utmost respect for the moms and dads who have the strength to handle what is given them. We all have our own burdens, but I am honestly thankful for my child's good health….health in all matters, physical and mental
- a wonderful perspective- Because, lets face it..there are times when that is what it is all about. Have I faced trials and tribulations?? Absolutely..you have too. But during my making God took the time to bless me with the ability to let it roll of my back. Bad crap happens, but it doesn't get me down. I'm not sure why, I'm not sure how…but I'm thankful for that.
- people who love me- Where would I be? There is a huge bubble of folks around me that love me (and my kid) unconditionally. They are always there, always around, always caring. Some are related by blood, some are not. They are amazing and truly a reason to be thankful.
- my education- Wowzers…I went back to college at an untraditional age, but I am so thankful for the ability to get an education.
- the basics- a clean, safe house…food on my table…the ability to pay bills…a car that starts every time I drive it…shoes that fit my feet…hobbies that keep my interest…books that friends loan me…meeting new people…our English bulldog…regular trash service…A/C…cheap grocery store flowers…seasonal fruit…a name that is easy to pronounce…friends who listen regardless of the time…Fuzzy's giggle…my garden…loving parents…a living Grandma…plenty of babysitting options…the smell of my son's head while he's sleeping, etc.
Obviously this list is getting out of hand, but I'm happy to be able to write it.
What would be on your list?

Inflamed Rib Cartilage
The condition of inflamed rib cartilage is also referred to as 'costochondritis' clinically. Get some basic facts about this condition that you wish to know, from this article.
Rajib Singha
Last Updated: Jan 21, 2018
The condition of inflamed rib cartilage, in most cases is associated with the cartilage that serves as a connecting medium between the ribs and the breastbone. The point where these two structures meet is known as the costosternal joint, and when the connecting cartilage between them gets inflamed, the condition is known as costochondritis. And the below would take you through the causes, the symptoms, and finally the treatment of this condition.
Pain is the major symptom. And how this pain originates, and its severity, are the other so-called symptoms. The most obvious place that the pain might be felt to be originating from, is the junction where the ribs join the cartilage. However, for some people, it may radiate to the back or abdomen. Most people experience the pain on the left side of their breastbone, although however, either side of the chest can be affected. The pain, for some people, may be sharp, while for some, it may be somewhat dull or gnawing. Also, the pain may occur or worsen during activities such as breathing, coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc. And when the person is at rest, the pain seems to subside. According to what has been observed by experts in most cases, the fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs are the areas that are felt as the most painful regions in this condition.
Possible Causes
Doctors aren't certain about the exact cause of the inflammation of the rib cartilage. Only a few selective cases of this condition are able to present a picture of the causal factors. One cause is associated with an injury caused to the chest area. The condition may also be common with people who follow strenuous exercise schedule. Infections such as those that affect the upper respiratory tract or those that develop on the costosternal joint itself, may also be responsible for the inflammation of the cartilage. The pain that might be felt occurring from the costosternal joint, may actually be one that has occurred somewhere else in the body. Fibromyalgia is a painful condition that may also cause the rib cartilage to get inflamed.
Treatment Plan
Good news is, inflamed cartilage of rib cage does not require any treatment, as it is self-resolving. However, depending on what has caused the condition, the symptoms might stay for several months or even longer. Patients are recommended to use medications that help in reducing and managing the pain. These may include Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), antidepressants, and drugs for relaxing muscles. It may happen that the medications do not respond. So in such a case, the patient might be treated with local anesthetic and steroid injection. This is only when the pain becomes intolerably painful, and is interfering with daily function.
At home, inflamed rib cartilage can be taken care of by getting plenty of rest, and going for light exercises such as waking, or swimming. But if all such activities increase the pain, then better it is not to indulge in such exercises. A heating pad also helps when applied to the aching area. And about how to prevent this condition from occurring, all one needs to take care of, is to avoid factors which seem to cause this problem.

I had a simple button on a form together with its click event handler. On debugging, I noticed that the event handler was firing twice. After a long investigation, I decided to check the HTTP headers. These revealed that the "Display Page Validation" option I was using in the Tools menu of the Web Dev toolbar in Firefox was the culprit.
When switched on, this runs the handler a second time, submitting the results to a validator at w3.org. This is something to bear in mind, particularly for code that must only run once, such as handling credit card payments.

Getting Harder to be a Woman
With the 2017 International Women's Convocation of Unitarian Universalist Women and People of Progressive Faiths coming up this weekend (Feb.16-18) in Asilomar, CA, the release of a new study on the Global Gender Gap from the World Economic Forum provides a timely and sobering backdrop.
As Washington Post reporter Amanda Erickson wrote in her summary article this past week: "It's getting harder to be a woman."
The annual international report looks at women's standing in 142 countries, and bases its conclusions on four indexes: educational attainment, health, political empowerment and economic participation. Overall, if these statuses continue at their current rate, the study authors say, it will take another 170 years to reach gender equity, with one "bright" exception: access to education. Currently, men and female-identified women are going to school at about the same rate. And women's health outcomes in general parallel men's.
But other critical measures like political and economic participation are lagging. While more women than ever are working, we are falling behind because the burden of household chores and caregiving still falls overwhelmingly on us. The study notes that the gap between paid and unpaid work starts early, with girls worldwide spending around 30 percent of their time doing uncompensated labor, reducing the time and ability to earn as much money as men.
"Female-driven fields," the authors tell us, tend to pay less than work dominated by men.
While we are still almost two centuries away from global parity for women and men, the World Economic Forum report indicates that, in some parts of the world, the gender gap is shrinking much faster. South Asia is set to close the gap in 46 years and Europe in 61 years, and Latin America in 71 years. Central and North America are making the least progress in catching up. In terms of ranking, out of 142 countries the U.S. ranks 45th, with poor showings in our political positions and flattening of improvement in numbers of women in the workplace due to lack of accessible and available childcare and spotty family leave.
In Africa, Rwanda has sustained progress. It is the one country in the world where more women than men hold elected office.
The January 2017 special edition of National Geographic on "The Gender Revolution" focused on the shifting landscape of gender, and explored definitions of and stories about gender through the lenses of science and culture across a spectrum of gender identity. It looked at what determines the paths to womanhood and manhood in the 21st century in terms of social roles. The magazine also presented baseline statistics on education and protection of equal opportunities for the world's 1.2 billion girls, using data from UNICEF, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and other sources. Again, the headline and the conclusion was that it is still difficult to be female. Suicide is the leading cause of death for girls 10-19 globally; 700 million women and girls are married as child brides before their 18th birthday, with significant risk of domestic violence and higher maternal mortality; 120 million girls worldwide are forced into intercourse and other sexual acts. Girls and women who have endured such abuse, the article notes, are at higher risk of exploitation in the sex trade.
As UU women gather in convocations or small groups or across the Internet, there is much left to do to make more urgent progress in rescuing girls and women from danger. And at the same time to recognize and celebrate gender fluidity and a future, as one writer put it, where gender is neither an advantage nor an impediment.
