Transparency Pledge
The Apparel and Footwear Supply Chain Transparency Pledge (Transparency Pledge) helps demonstrate apparel and footwear companies' commitment towards greater transparency in their manufacturing supply chain. Transparency of a company's manufacturing supply chain better enables a company to collaborate with civil society in identifying, assessing, and avoiding actual or potential adverse human rights impacts. This is a critical step that strengthens a company's human rights due diligence. This company is fully aligned with the Transparency Pledge, thereby committing to regularly publish on its website a list naming all sites that manufacture its products.

Workers rights in India
Female migrants employed in garment factories in Bangalore, India are recruited with false promises about wages and benefits, and are subjected to conditions of modern slavery. They work under high-pressure for low wages, and live in hostels with poor living conditions while their freedom of movement is severely restricted. This company was identified in the 2018 report "Labour Without Liberty" as sourcing garments from these factories.
Detox progress
Greenpeace launched its "Detox My Fashion" campaign in 2011 to expose the direct links between global clothing brands, their suppliers and toxic water pollution around the world. As a result, many companies, including this one, committed to Greenpeace's Detox Program. The 2016 Detox Catwalk report focused on implementation, assessing the steps taken by fashion brands to fulfil their commitments using three criteria: Detox 2020 plan, PFC elimination and Transparency. This company is "ahead of the curve and on track to meet their commitments".

Zero discharge of hazardous chemicals

This company has publicly banned sandblasting. Sandblasting is a dangerous and deadly process which involves workers firing sand at jeans under high pressure.

Angora ban

Sustainable Apparel Coalition member
This company is a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a multi-stakeholder initiative launched in March 2011 by a group of global apparel and footwear companies and non-profit organizations (representing nearly one third of the global market share for apparel and footwear).

Cardinal challenges
PUBLISHED: April 8, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:15 a.m.
Roman Catholics in the nation's biggest archdiocese soon will have a new spiritual leader, Mexican-born Jose Gomez,
archbishop of San Antonio.
In some respects, the change is well-timed.
Archbishop Gomez will replace Cardinal Roger Mahony, who steps down next year at the mandatory retirement age of 75. One of Gomez's great challenges will be repairing the damage wrought by pedophile priests in the archdiocese and the nation, even reaching as far as the Vatican.
Under the leadership of Cardinal Mahony, the archdiocese paid victims abused by priests a total of $660 million, the biggest such settlement in the nation. Archbishop Gomez's record, unfortunately, is less than unblemished, according to critics in San Antonio who say he was not forthright in dealing with errant priests. He denies their accusations.
His appointment is particularly positive in that 70 percent of Catholics in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles are Hispanic, and most, like Gomez, are of Mexican origin. Those commonalities are bound to make a difference among the faithful.
But unlike Cardinal Mahony, regarded as the most progressive cardinal in the country in dealing with immigration, support of labor and outreach to the gay community, Archbishop Gomez has a long association with the doctrinally conservative organization Opus Dei and has spoken out against gestures of inclusion.
An openly gay Long Beach city councilman, Robert Garcia, told the Los Angeles Times he believes the new archbishop must realize that the archdiocese is made up of very diverse points of view, including those like Councilman Garcia, who feel the church must take a more progressive position on many issues.
Yet Gomez doesn't entirely fit a conservative image. He has marched for immigrants' rights and has vigorously supported programs to provide services to poor immigrants. He has many admirers among those who serve poor families in San Antonio and in Denver, where he served as auxiliary bishop. Among his priorities were to help immigrants become part of the Hispanic community, the church community and the community as a whole.
The archbishop, soon no doubt to become a cardinal, is more concerned with spiritual matters than with such political concerns as border security. But his blend of conservatism and progressiveness could be helpful.
In any case, the new assignment for Archbishop Gomez will have its challenges.

Written by Connie Burke on August 15, 2017 .
I became a doctor because I wanted to help alleviate the suffering of others. For 13 years, I worked in a private medical group doing interesting and challenging work. But I became restless. I felt that I ought to be working as a doctor in some remote part of the world helping people who had no care and no options. I guess I felt I had a calling … a sense of faith-based mission.
I knew nothing of Community Health Centers, though I had some vague notion that they served the poor. When I was asked to consider a position as Neighborhood Healthcare's Medical Director, it took a while for it to dawn on me that the need I was looking to fill in the world was really right in front of me.
There is much that I see NOW that I did not see before.
Every day we treat over 1,100 patients at our 11 health centers. They are people like you and me, though often more afraid and lacking in know-how or resources. Because they have waited so long to seek medical or dental care, their needs are usually urgent and more severe.
Statistics tell us that households headed by women have about half the income and less than one third of the wealth than other Americans. After 16 years at Neighborhood Healthcare, I have seen the faces that speak beyond just facts and figures. There is Celiflor who's insightful and brave. We help her think of things her son Rafael (who has cerebral palsy) can DO vs. the things he CAN'T do. And Tristen whose mother works fulltime but needs help purchasing expensive medicine so that he can feel better. And Maria, whose son stayed in our local center while getting breathing treatments. If we hadn't been an option for her, he would have been sent to Children's Hospital, 30 miles way. With no car, a visit to see her sick son would have meant hours by bus – with her other children in tow and language and translation issues to boot. Clearly, Neighborhood Healthcare can make more of a difference because our patients' needs are greater.
It may be that they come to us when they are desperate but we manage to get them to come back when they aren't. They return with their children for vaccinations, well baby exams and preventative screenings. In one year alone, we may prevent at least 100 cervical cancers ----Saving a child's mother from cancer…or death.
And, though we're not necessarily always able to prevent a first teenage pregnancy, we've proven successful at preventing the second one….with education about parenting, birth control and nutrition.
In fact, everyday, we help patients making inroads beyond their circumstances…Beyond just their immediate medical needs. Celiflor is proud that she was offered a job with Neighborhood Healthcare as a promotora -- helping overweight children and their parents learn how to cook healthy, low-fat meals. Our older adult program brings our isolated, elderly neighbors to our centers for assistance, socializing, nurturing…shut-ins who would otherwise be invisible to us all.
It didn't take long for me to see how infinitely grateful our patients are for the immediate medical attention…but also for the smile, the reassurance, the doctor who can speak their language , the promise of hope beyond today.
I also see, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my colleagues are mission-oriented, community minded individuals who offer superior care. It is definitely not income that motivates them. As with me, rather, it is a sense of a calling.
Yes, it's hard to see what's not right in front of our eyes….No longer do I imagine that I have to travel half way across the world to fulfill my mission as a doctor. The truth is that I only have to walk 6 blocks further than my last job! If I had not come here, I would not see all the interconnectedness.
Where other medical groups stop at the traditional concept of medicine, Neighborhood healthcare provides much-needed dental care to thousands. Our teeth are actually a part of the body! And an important one which can make or break our overall health.
We also have come to see that our minds affect our health most powerfully, and have incorporated behavioral health specialists into all of our offices. They are part of the team and are part of almost everything we do.
I also used to think that working in a Community Health Center meant that I would have to compromise on the quality of care given to my patients, and that I might have colleagues that couldn't cut it in the 'real world'. What I now see is world-class quality, proven by hard data and being delivered by world-class medical staff who also has a heart for what we do and for our patients. I could not be more proud to be helping people where I do. Neighborhood Healthcare serves the poor, the desperate, the unexpectedly laid off, the sickest and most complex of our neighbors -- this supports the health of the community, which in turn puts their values into action, by giving generously to Neighborhood Healthcare. Your generosity continues to help us fulfill our mission and benefit all.

A. Stuckelberger: The UN Agenda and Interreligious Initiatives
Written by Astrid Stuckelberger, Scientist and Writer, University of Geneva, Switzerland
The aim of this article is to briefly present and analyze a decade of new developments in the area of religion at the United Nations and related agencies. By bringing together the different recent initiatives of this new 21st century, it is possible not only to concretely demonstrate this shift of paradigm, but also to see what has been achieved or not and why this convergence between religions and the United Nations is chaotic. The described facts are based on the experience or commitment of the author in most of the initiatives presented. It is an attempt to show where we stand today, where the obstacles are, where are the windows of opportunity for a transformation of the United Nations.
Until this century, religions have played a key role in the governance of a population's beliefs, values, and moral behaviors even in the presence of strong political governance. The fact that the United Nations has not included the different religions and faiths in either an agency or official UN body shows the ongoing concern about the separation of church and state. There is distress regarding the increased role religion is playing in the forging of public policy.
The historical fact that on one hand there is evidence of abuse of power in the name of religion from religious governance, and on the other hand that the consistent conflicts between religions have made for a large proportion of reasons to go to war, have left a large majority of the UN governance suspicious of joining forces with religions.
Triggered partly by the threat of religion-inspired violence following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, and also by an increasing recognition of the power of religious belief to inspire social action, the UN and its agencies launched a number of initiatives that involve ever closer-collaboration with world religious communities.
Such initiatives include:
1. Fighting discrimination against freedom of religion with resolutions such as No. 719 condemning "defamation of religion" as a human rights violation at the Human Rights Council, which appoints a rare permanent independent position of a Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief. This Rapporteur is an independent expert appointed by the UN Human Rights Council. The mandate holder has been invited to identify existing and emerging obstacles to the enjoyment of the right to freedom of religion or belief and present recommendations on ways and means to overcome such obstacles.
2. Bringing religious leaders to the negotiating table to find a common voice for peace. The most remarkable event took place in August 2000 with the Millennium Peace Summit for Religious and Spiritual Leaders, which opened the first day at the United Nations with speeches by many UN dignitaries and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
A Global Initiative for Peace was signed by many religious leaders in 2000 at the Millennium Peace Summit in New York. The event proved controversial for several reasons, principal among which was the exclusion of the Dalai Lama. Even the logo [left] created for the event provoked a lot of polemic among UN officials.
Later initiatives associated with the Millennium Summit included: building a World Council of Religious and Spiritual Leaders based on regional or national councils; short-term initiatives in Geneva during 2000 and 2001 with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, International Labor Organization, and the World Economic Forum concluding Statement in Davos in 2001; a Peace Initiative for Women Religious and Spiritual Leaders in Geneva in 2002; and the World Peace Youth Summit in Nairobi in 2003.
3. Combating issues linked to the Millennium Development Goals or the UN Agenda by involving religious leaders, such as
World Health Organization: health issues such as with mental health (either as partners or with attempts to create a Network of Religious Leaders for Mental Health)
UNAIDS: Religions and faith-based organizations against HIV/AIDS (through engaging religious leaders and faith-based organizations in UNAIDS Summits or documents)
UN Development Programme: A new collaboration/partnership with the Alliance of Religions and Conservation to better involve world religions in addressing climate change and specifically to help religions develop concrete programs of action to slow global warming
UN Population Fund: The "Culture Matters" review. A first report was published in 2004; then an updated version in 2008 offered a series of case studies from the Fund's efforts to work with "communities and faith-based organizations." It concluded, among other things, that partnerships with "religious and faith-based organizations" can help "reach some of the most vulnerable and marginalized communities" in development efforts.
4. Attempting to bring religions together for interreligious and intercultural dialogue, mainly with UNESCO (i.e., in Africa the first meeting took place in Abuja in 2003)
5. Creating more permanent initiatives such as an initiative started in 2008 by a coalition of interfaith organizations, including Religions for Peace and the United Religions Initiative, to make 2011–2020 a "UN Decade for Inter-religious and Intercultural Dialogue, Understanding, and Cooperation for Peace."
The UN Alliance of Civilizations
Established in 2005 at the initiative of the governments of Spain and Turkey, the Alliance of Civilizations aims to unite common values in religions, to improve understanding and cooperative relations mostly among Western and Islamic nations and peoples, and "to help counter the forces that fuel polarization and extremism." Its High-level Group released a 2006 report with recommendations on how to improve interreligious and intercultural understanding worldwide as well as an implementation plan.
Since then, the Alliance has organized two major forums — in Madrid in January 2008 and in Istanbul in April 2009 — and launched practical initiatives centered in the areas of media and education.
The Tripartite Forum on Interfaith Cooperation for Peace
Founded in 2006, the Tripartite Forum is an open-ended consultative group composed of representatives of UN Member States, the United Nations system, and non-governmental organizations that aims to foster mutual respect, tolerance, and friendship among peoples, cultures, and religions.
The International Year of Rapprochement of Cultures
In December 2007, the General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 2010 the Year of Rapprochement of Cultures and recommended that appropriate events be organized on interreligious and intercultural dialogue, including, among others, a high-level dialogue and/or informal interactive hearings with civil society.
World Bank: World Faith and Development Dialogue
An interesting initiative of the World Bank, an independent specialized agency of the UN and a member and observer in many UN bodies, is worth mentioning here:
The World Faith and Development Dialogue (WFDD) was created to bridge between the worlds of faith-based and mainstream development with support from the World Bank. After three preparatory meetings with faith and development leaders since 1998, the WFDD was established in 2000 by James D. Wolfensohn, former World Bank President, and Lord George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury.
WFDD supports dialogue and fosters research on religion and development. The different meetings and research produced mentioned the recognition of the large gap existing between faith and development worlds in many developing countries. Since then different types of Development Dialogues on Values and Ethics took place with faith-based organizations.
World Economic Forum and Religions
Since 2001, where the first Concluding Statement of the Meeting of Religious Leaders was presented at the closing ceremony, each year the World Economic Forum (WEF) has been engaged in involving religion and global issues at Davos or in parallel meetings in other parts of the world, in various faith communities in interfaith dialogue. One of the most remarkable was the West-Islam Dialogue, a dynamic community of business, political, religious, media, and opinion leaders engaged in dialogue to promote understanding across different segments of society in the West and Muslim world. The WEF, in addition to organizing dialogues, committed to the realization of different joint projects, awards, and most recently, to the production of an Annual Report on the State of Dialogue.
The collaboration with the Harvard Divinity School, for example, revealed the gap in the common vision of religions as well as the mutual need for "merging" knowledge between religions and other world partners with global agenda, such as religion/globalization, religion/economy, and religion/technology.
Is the UN Agenda Compatible with the Interreligious Agenda?
1. Religion matters, but…: Religion is high on the global agenda but is not part of the United Nations. The claim that religion would inevitably decline with modernity — the core of the secularization thesis — has been proved wrong. Today's global challenges of war and peace, democracy and human rights, and economic and social development all have an important religious dimension. The UN's timid attempt to include religious and spiritual leaders in their community work has been scarce; religion is not taken systematically into consideration because of the fear of political conflicts, in particular due to the fact that some states are explicitly or implicitly religious states and others have separated religion and state affairs. Another obstacle is that for the administrative UN policy, religions and their organizations are considered as NGOs, which is hardly acceptable for many religious leaders.
Faith is often part of the problem; tensions among religious communities can impede international cooperation, political stability, social cohesion, and economic growth. But it is also potentially part of the solution: these communities are often among the most important forces mobilizing around core values such as human dignity, solidarity, and social responsibility.
2. Need for knowledge transfer and translation between religions and world governance: The experience and reports show the clear need to learn from each other and join forces: the initiatives and different collaborations between the United Nations and international organizations have proven that collaboration is possible, but the gaps between the religious and non-religious stakeholders of global governance are so wide that the conflict of actions and interests can create more harm than good to the population until common knowledge transfers among all parties converge in the same direction.
3. Beyond dialogue: dialogue between religions is not enough…: Dialogue between religions is important but not enough. Mere dialoguing often results in shared monologues that reinforce the position of each party rather than identify common values and ways to work together. Therefore, initiatives that strengthen cooperation of religions and faith-based organizations for a common action reinforce a constructive dialogue and result in peace and fruitful actions for the benefit of all.
4. UN agenda and the religious agenda for peace and human rights: where are women? The UN's agenda is sometimes clearly in conflict with the religious agenda, which makes it very difficult to establish a global coherent and peaceful agenda. For example, many issues of human rights pose a problem to religions: the fact that a human being has the power of self-determination of his/her life or death is for many religions incompatible with their dogma.
Another field which religions for the moment find incompatible is the issue of women's rights versus religious rights; the need to revisit history and equality between men's and women's rights will be a prerequisite for the evolution of humanity and harmonious global governance. In this perspective, a future contribution will speak of the "Woman Mapping Peace project" developed with the Committee on the Status of Women working group on Development Education and the University of Geneva to bring together and document statistically and qualitatively the work done by women in the world.
The UN's global governance can only help to bring a meta-perspective on the human behavior towards religious containment and go beyond the concept of separation to bring religions to speak in one voice with different languages. This common agenda and spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is without a doubt peace. Keeping this common goal in mind, it is evident that all actors are important for the success of current and future peace initiatives at the United Nations. Let us not forget that peace is the founding principle and guiding force for which the United Nations was created. Let us not forget that on October 24, 1945 the UN Charter was officially recognized and the United Nations came into being. The Preamble of the Charter of the United Nations begins:
We the peoples of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to affirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
Astrid Stuckelburger, Ph.D., is a representative of two academic non-governmental organizations at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. She serves as the Coordinator in Geneva of the UN Millennium Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders and is also Co-founder of the Spiritual Caucus @ United Nations Geneva and of the UN NGO Committee for Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns.

"I love ironing. I'd forgotten. Haven't done it for years," we commented to Tuck this morning. "I do too," he replied. "It's very satisfying."

Above, a many-colored cotton Ralph Lauren outsourced to India, air-drying in the shade of the Silver Maple, a bumped-up version of the madras plaids that were all the rage in our salad days.
All that is old is new again when you're riding the Cold Turkey Wave. Those old clothes we haven't been able to squeeze into for too many years (see photo above) are waiting in the wings to make their reappearance on the stage. Then there are the recipes of a lifetime standing in line for their auditions to get a coveted part in the Cold Turkey Cookbook. It's Better than Lasagna was a featured recipe in our sis's Newcomers Club Cookbook for 1978. She inscribed our copy of the yarn-bound tome with her usual warmth and wit:
To the most dedicated eater I know -- Bon Appetit!
You can take It's Better than Lasagna anywhere. We used to make it for the groaning board of our legendary Christmas parties but as of yesterday hadn't made it for years, perhaps decades. Last night it was what was for supper, and today we're having it cold for lunch, rechristened It's Better than Leftover Pizza (above photo) and looking for all the world like something irresistible from the dessert trolley.
Toothsome and calorifically reasonable as long as you eat just one slice per meal, It's Better than Lasagna -- with a bit of tweaking -- easily won a starring role in the CT Cookbook. It was our sis herself who said "Tweaking to one's taste is the secret to secret recipes" the other night as we were reminiscing about "A Bride's Secret Recipe Starter-Kit," a compilation of family recipes she had given her about-to-be-daughter-in-law as a shower gift a couple of years back. We halved the amounts of hamburger, tomato sauce, noodles, cream cheese and sour cream, used cc and sc lite instead of regular -- 'don't know whether they even had lite versions back in '78 -- and substituted parmesan for the cheddar (more about that below) called for in the original recipe. And, of course, we used five instead of one clove garlic:
It's Better than Lasagna
1/2 lb lean hamburger = 297 calories
1 medium coarsely chopped onion = 46 calories
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce = 180 calories
1 tbsp freshly ground pepper = 16 calories
1/2 cup sour cream lite = 120 calories
1/2 cup cream cheese lite = 240 calories
5 cloves roasted garlic = 20 calories
(How to roast garlic. We skipped the pan and wrapped the garlic in foil, but 30-35 minutes at 400° does the trick, and we adore the pictures at this link)
3 cups noodles (dry) = 440 calories
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan = 216 calories
(See discussion below re parmesan vs. soft cheeses)
PAM cooking spray = 0 calories
TOTAL = 1,575 calories for 8 servings = 198 calories per serving
Spray frying pan with PAM and brown hamburger over high heat, coarsely chopping and stirring with spatula. Lower heat, add chopped onion and cook 3 minutes more. Add tomato sauce and freshly ground pepper and simmer on low 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mash roasted garlic and mix with sour cream and cream cheese.
Cook noodles al dente, drain and toss with sour-cream-and-cream-cheese mix. Assemble IBTL in layers in a 9" round or 8" square baking pan (We used our exquisite white fluted ceramic quiche dish, seen here with nesting Sweet Potato aux Peeps):
Spread half noodle-sour-cream-and-cream-cheese mixture into baking pan and spread half hamburger mix on top. Repeat the two layers with remaining ingredients. Top with grated parmesan and bake in preheated 350° oven 20-25 minutes.
Comparing calories in that Danish ham and Havarti half sandwich we had the other day (285), this little stick-to-the-ribs number (198 calories) has 87 fewer than the sandwich. Which segues nicely to the cheese issues referenced above. Let's listen in to yesterday's imail session for the finer points of hard cheese vs. soft cheese:
We: I would like to know more about cheddar vs parmesan in IBTL. For research purposes.
She: Cheddar is oozier. The harder the cheese, the less it oozes. Mozzarella is the typical lasagna cheese but lacks the punch of cheddar. That's why I like this recipe. It changes the typical way of making lasagna.
We: I had always made it with a combo of parmesan and mozzarella but didn't happen to have any mozarella on hand.
She: "I can't understand WHY my lasagna didn't turn out just like yours."
For the record, here's how the cheeses one might use in IBTL weigh in:
1/2 cup shredded parmesan = 216 calories
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (whole milk) = 228 calories
1/2 cup shredded cheddar = 228 calories
Not that big a deal. Next time, to achieve the proper balance of flavor and ooziness -- and in solidarity with the Danes! -- we'll use a combo of one part parmesan to two parts Havarti. Meanwhile, it's true what they always say. Not unlike revenge, IBTL is even better served cold the next day.
Update: Lean Cuisine's Lasagna -- a fave of Goomp's -- has (ahem) 260 calories to our 198. We'll be traveling down east tomorrow and -- do we dare? -- may try our own IBTL on him for a taste test.
Update II: Pajamas Media links: "It's better than lasagna, that's what."

In something like a lasagna or sloppy joe type entree, ground turkey is very good. Once I started using it, I really preferred the taste. It's much "lighter" tasting and if you get the ground white meat, there is nearly zero fat rendered when you brown it (although it doesn't get "brown" really - more like white *grin*)
I guess the opinion is that ground turkey has less fat than hamburger - I don't know if that's true or not. I think it depends on how it's made. Most of the time it's sold packaged, so you can check calorie counts - unlike hamburger ground at the store.
As for me, I just like the taste. You may want to give it a try next time you need to make something requiring ground meat. I would not suggest it for meat loaf or even for meat balls - because it's too different. But for lasagna, sloppy joes, soups, casseroles... it works very well.

Star Wars: Episode IV – The Scale of Hope
Josh Larsen • October 21, 2015
Star Wars: Episode IV's vision of hope can be detected in its imagery alone.
Our Theology of Star Wars series also includes essays on Episode I, Episode II, Episode III, Episode V, Episode VI, Episode VII, and Episode VIII. A free eBook version of the entire series is available here.
After the last words of the iconic opening crawl drift off into deep space, the camera pans down to take in the horizon of the planet below. Suddenly a spaceship races onto the screen, traveling away from us in an attempt to out-pace ensuing blaster fire. Then, it arrives on the scene: another ship, so huge as it enters the frame from above that it dwarfs the first vessel and threatens to obscure the entire planet. Hulking and intimidating, the fittingly named craft is an Imperial Star Destroyer.
Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope opens with rebels on the run and a towering figure in black on their tail. Darth Vader's Star Destroyer eventually captures the rebel ship, allowing him to board with his legion of Stormtroopers. The "hope" of the movie's title may be new, but it's considerably outgunned.
If A New Hope was a silent film (an appealing prospect, given young Skywalker's whiny pitch), the imagery alone would convey that this is a story of unlikely heroes overcoming great odds. Consider how frequently Star Destroyers dominate the mise en scène, often by entering and overwhelming the frame. Or, conversely, think of how the robot duo of C-3P0 and R2-D2 register as tiny dots while wandering the widescreen desert landscape of Tatooine. Even the hologram distress message carried by R2 is small: when Princess Leia's image is projected onto the floor ("Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi … You're my only hope"), it's only a few inches tall.
Much has been written about the spirituality of Star Wars, especially concerning the mysterious Force that acts as a guiding presence in the universe. But upon an umpteenth revisit of A New Hope, I noticed a theology that was much more tactile. In its use of models and sets, in the composition of its frames and even in the occasional snippet of dialogue (Leia to Luke in disguise: "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"), the movie consistently defines its vision of hope in terms of scale. Hope in Episode IV is almost always placed in direct contrast to overwhelming objects of oppression.
German theologian Jurgen Moltmann described Christian hope somewhat similarly. For Moltmann, our hope could not be separated from our suffering. He saw hope as a crucial tenet of Christianity not simply because it represented our yearning for the new creation, but because it also provided an impetus for contemporary Christian action (rebellion?) in a world still tainted by sin. In his introduction to A Theology of Hope, he wrote that "From first to last, and not merely the epilogue, Christianity is eschatology, is hope, forward looking and forward moving, and therefore also revolutionizing and transforming the present."
The "hope" of the movie's title may be new, but it's considerably outgunned.
Even if Moltmann saw hope as a guiding light, he didn't describe it as a blazing one. Instead, hope was small, "…the passionate suffering and passionate longing kindled by the Messiah." It is, in Star Wars' visual terms, Obi-Wan's flickering, pale blue lightsaber just before he succumbs to Vader's strong, red glare. It is something like Luke's description of his home planet of Tatooine: "If there is a bright center of the universe, you're on the planet it's farthest from." Yet that is precisely the place from which the movie's hope springs.
In his commentary on Hebrews 11:1, John Calvin notes the role of hope amidst the often overwhelming realities of this world: "We are promised an abundance of all good things, but we are often hungry and thirsty; God proclaims that He will come to us immediately, but seems to be deaf to our cries. What would happen to us if we did not rely on our hope, and if our minds did not emerge above the world out of the midst of darkness through the shining Word of God and by His Spirit?"
Perhaps this is why Episode IV's climactic explosion of the Death Star at the hand of the Rebel Alliance is so cathartic. A looming orb, the Death Star is so gargantuan and powerful it's capable of incinerating planets. As the rebel leaders lay out the attack strategy, a pilot scoffs, "What good is a small stunt fighter against that?" Indeed, when Luke and the others approach the Death Star, their X-wing fighters look like tiny mosquitoes in comparison. And in keeping with the film's thematic sense of scale, the target the rebels must hit is improbably small.
In Romans, Paul speaks of hope not as something massive and assured, but as something barely glimpsed: "But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." This is the scale of hope: a flicker in the universe, yet one that nonetheless turns the universe on its head.

Picasso insólito (NO-DO)
Picasso insólito (NO-DO) 1978
A peculiar look at the life and work of Pablo Picasso based on little paintings by the artist Manuel Blasco Alarcón reflecting the life of the artist from Malaga. In the film, Blasco Alarcón comments on the illustrations to the sound of jocular music. According to the author's theory, given that Picasso largely took inspiration from his lovers to paint, he may even have gone as far as to say that he painted with his sexual organ. Although given absolutely no credibility, many critics believe that it is a theory which must not be rejected. On the subject of Picasso insólito, it has been said that this work is very similar to one of Mercero's early works, Lección de arte.

The NFL will host a week-long series of events leading up to the 2019 Pro Bowl in Orlando, FL.
Fan-focused programming will offer free, interactive experiences and youth and high school football competitions. For the third consecutive year, Pro Bowlers from the AFC and NFC will compete in unique competitions at the Pro Bowl Skills Showdown, including the 40-Yard Splash presented by McDonald's.
The week is also an opportunity to give back to the community. The NFL will host the first Pro Bowl Community Day on Saturday, Jan. 26, when Pro Bowl players can take part in various community service efforts. Through the NFL Foundation Pro Bowl Giveback, Pro Bowl players on the winning team may apply for a $10,000 NFL Foundation grant to support the high school or youth football program of their choice.
See the full list of Pro Bowl Week community service events.
On game day, fans can cheer on Pro Bowl players along the red carpet as they enter the stadium. During the game, there will be dedicated AFC and NFC sections, providing fans a place to join forces and cheer on their conference, and Kidzone, a kid-friendly play area where families can take their children. NFL Network's Dan Hellie will be the stadium host throughout the game.

On Monday the 31st of December 2012 we first had a braai at a friends place at around noon and then made our way to Die Eerste Nuwe Jaar's Party at Arcade Empire about 4 PM.
Die Eerste Nuwe Jaar's Party at Arcade Empire was a fun filled affair, packed with awesome performances by SA bands and DJs. More than 2,000 people made their way to Gauteng's premier live music venue to celebrate the dawn of 2013.
Ask anyone that attended this party in Pretoria and they'll tell you that it was one of the best ones they've had in recent years. I'm pretty sure that @BaasDeBeer, @RuanHaha, @ArneCPT, @die_rebel, @wyngaardt, @Deeglik, @Vicky_Jkwicz, @MargaAgenbag, @ch2rlie, @JWGoosen, @estiaanv, @A3ana_dB and many others that attended the party will agree with me.
In case you forgot, Die Eerste Nuwe Jaar's Party at Arcade Empire featured appearances by Man As Machine, Gangs of Ballet, The Plastics, Wrestlerish, Taxi Violence, Zebra and Giraffe and Civil Twilight and DJ Sets by Dubsidia (from Spain), Haezer and others. One of the awesome things about this New Year's Eve party was definitely the ticket pricing – online tickets via Ticketbreak cost only R100 and tickets at the gate were priced at R150.
Man As Machine showed just why they're one of the current up and coming bands in Gauteng and Gangs of Ballet show cased some excellent Durban rock 'n roll. I saw the Plastics live for the first time and their blend of Indie Rock just blew me away. I now consider them as one of the most underrated bands in the country.
Wrestlerish kept the party going in front of their local crowd, Taxi Violence tore the crowd a new one with their hard rock, Zebra and Giraffe kept the party pace going and Civil Twilight proved why their signed to an international label. Haezer had me strutting my stuff at the electro stage into the early hours of 2013. There wasn't a performance that I didn't enjoy at Die Eerste Nuwe Jaar's Party at Arcade Empire.
I'm looking forward to 2013 at Arcade Empire. Things can only get bigger and better from here. Despite some issues with bar queues there wasn't a reason to complain on New Year's Eve. Kudos to Chris, Robert, Christo and the rest of the Arcade Empire team for pulling off one hell of a party. I'm actually already looking forward to the next one.
I took photos at the event. Check some of them out below or view the full album on the Henno Kruger Photography page on Facebook.
Were you at Die Eerste Nuwe Jaar's Party at Arcade Empire? What did you think? Leave a comment and let me know. Feedback is appreciated and welcome here.

Q: Gitlab API create discussion on file line I'm trying to create discussion on specific line of changed file.
Request i make:

await axios.post('https://gitlab.<project>/api/v4/projects/<project id>/merge_requests/103/discussions', {
   body: 'test123',
  'position[base_sha]': '9f4284ba82fc0667464ca8abaa76b334415278fc',
  'position[start_sha]': '9f4284ba82fc0667464ca8abaa76b334415278fc',

  'position[line_range][end_line_code]': '0398ccd0f49298b10a3d76a47800d2ebecd49859_0_355',
  'position[line_range][start_line_type]': 'old',
  'position[line_range][end_line_type]': 'old',
});

Most of the body values are taken from inspecting the browser and seeing what request gitlab makes when i create the thread manually.
The request results in simple thread that does not appear on top of a file, the documentation does not explain well the body fields and their functionality so I'm currently stuck with this.
I'm unsure if those fields are correct, i took the start_line_code and end_line_code from the gitlab request i saw in the browser:
'position[line_range][start_line_code]': '0398ccd0f49298b10a3d76a47800d2ebecd49859_0_355',
'position[line_range][end_line_code]': '0398ccd0f49298b10a3d76a47800d2ebecd49859_0_355',
'position[line_range][start_line_type]': 'old',
'position[line_range][end_line_type]': 'old',

How the thread looks like:

What i expect it to look like:

What is the correct way of creating thread that appears on top of a file?
Link to gitlab api resource

A: Posting it here since idk if comments support markdown.
I ended up doing:
const mergeRequestDiffs = <request merge request changes>
const position: {
      ...mergeRequestDiffs.diff_refs,
      old_path: pathFromRootOfTheProject,
      new_path: pathFromRootOfTheProject,
      position_type: 'text',
      new_line: line,
      head_sha: line SHA,
}

<make discussion request with payload below i was using axios.post>

{
  body: <some message>,
  position,
}

Joan Marie Johnson: Supporting the Struggle for Women's Reproductive Rights
Posted by Dino on 16 October 2017, 10:00 am
Today we welcome a guest post from Joan Marie Johnson, author of Funding Feminism: Monied Women, Philanthropy, and the Women's Movement, 1870–1967, on the anniversary of the founding of America's first birth control clinic, and the women behind the scenes who made it possible.
In Funding Feminism, Joan Marie Johnson examines an understudied dimension of women's history in the United States: how a group of affluent white women from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries advanced the status of all women through acts of philanthropy. This cadre of activists included Phoebe Hearst, the mother of William Randolph Hearst; Grace Dodge, granddaughter of Wall Street "Merchant Prince" William Earle Dodge; and Ava Belmont, who married into the Vanderbilt family fortune. Motivated by their own experiences with sexism, and focusing on women's need for economic independence, these benefactors sought to expand women's access to higher education, promote suffrage, and champion reproductive rights, as well as to provide assistance to working-class women.
Funding Feminism is available now in both print and ebook editions.
Supporting the Struggle for Women's Reproductive Rights
Just more than 100 years ago, Margaret Sanger, the woman at the center of the birth control movement for five decades in the early twentieth century, opened the first birth control clinic in America. At the time, birth control was illegal: the dissemination of birth control information in the mail was forbidden under the federal Comstock law, which deemed such information obscene. States had various laws banning the distribution or use of birth control devices and information. Given the current political climate, in which not only is a woman's right to legal abortion under assault, but even contraception is under attack, it is an appropriate time to look back at the women who fought so hard to give women the right to determine whether or not and when to have children.
Sanger opened a clinic in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. The clinic was raided on October 26, resulting in the trials of Sanger, her sister and a volunteer. Notably, Sanger's supporters included both immigrant women, who had little money and desperately wanted access to birth control information, and many wealthy women who also believed a woman's right to control her body was essential to women's freedom. Many of these wealthy women were also fighting for political equality in the women's suffrage movement.
Margaret Sanger had a group of women who made her work possible. They befriended her, provided her with moral support and legitimacy, and underwrote her legal defense. They ran these organizations, serving as officers, raising money, donating money, writing letters, holding meetings, editing magazines, and organizing conferences..
Sanger had a group of women who made her work possible. They befriended her, provided her with moral support and legitimacy, and underwrote her legal defense. When Sanger and her sister were arrested, society women showed up in the courtroom in Sanger's defense. They organized around her, forming first the Committee of 100 and then the American Birth Control League. They ran these organizations, serving as officers, raising money, donating money, writing letters, holding meetings, editing magazines, and organizing conferences.
Elsie Clews Parsons was one of these women. A member of New York's society elite, her father Henry Clews was a wealthy Wall Street banker and her mother coordinated the family's social life, with homes in New York and Newport, Rhode Island. Despite her privilege, she broke convention and insisted on a college education, which she obtained at Barnard College in New York. Studying first sociology, then anthropology, she eventually earned a PhD from Columbia University. Her husband Herbert Parsons was a congressman.
Elsie's passionate beliefs about remaking women's place in society were undergirded by her anthropological research into gender and culture. She believed that women became shallow and dependent when they were not allowed to work outside the home and were relegated to serving as their husbands' sexual companions. While she was in favor of women having the right to vote, her primary interest was in unshackling women from traditional marriage. She wanted women to have control over their bodies, so they could enjoy sexual intercourse apart from reproduction. She thought sexual pleasure should be mutual. Elsie Parsons defended her positions by arguing that other cultures did have alternative sexual norms.
Gertrude Minturn Pinchot was another faithful friend and follower of Margaret Sanger. Moving in the same social circle as Elsie Clews Parsons, Gertrude was the daughter of Susanna Shaw and Robert Browne Minturn, Jr., a shipping and mercantile businessman and railroad investor. Her mother and aunts were active philanthropists and reformers who promoted women's education and social service work. She married Amos Pinchot, a lawyer, reformer and publicist whose brother Gifford was a politician and ally of Theodore Roosevelt. Gertrude Pinchot was an avid support of woman suffrage as well as labor unionism, traveling to Lawrence, Massachusetts, during the famous textile strike of 1912. She also chaired the New York branch of the Woman's Peace Party.
But Gertrude Pinchot was perhaps most devoted to the birth control movement. She supported Sanger's family and traveled with Sanger to meet Governor Charles Whitman to ask for assistance when Sanger's sister fell ill from a hunger strike while in jail after the raid at the clinic. Gertrude Pinchot argued that birth control was the most fundamental right that women needed, more important, even, than the right to vote.
Juliet Barrett Rublee was perhaps Sanger's closest friend, confidante, and supporter. Originally from Chicago, she inherited money from her family's roofing supply company. She married lawyer George Rublee. Juliet was a pacifist, who demonstrated against America's entry into World War I, and a suffragist who can be seen in photographs regally riding a horse in a suffrage parade. A free spirit, she also was a modern dancer. Rublee believed that access to birth control would free women to think for themselves rather than blindly following men. Birth control, she thought would help free women's desires and imagination so they could "become Goddesses."
These fiercely determined women would be aghast at the attacks on women's reproductive rights taking place today. They would, however, be heartened by the women in red robes representing Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale, protesting in their state legislatures. They would take heart in the support for Planned Parenthood evident at the Women's Marches earlier this year. And they would be cheered by Melinda Gates, who believes that access to contraception allows women to gain education, economic independence and empowerment and is using her fortune and foundation to fund her efforts to dramatically expand access to millions of women around the world. They understood how essential it was for women to be willing to demand the right to control to whether and when to have children.

Global is an album by Trinidadian Ragga Soca artist Bunji Garlin released in 2007 by VP Records. The album is Garlin's first that he aimed at international audiences, with previous releases aimed only at the West Indies, and he explained "In order for the genre to grow, we have to put out music that people throughout all of the islands can feel, not just for Trinidad". The album features guest appearances by Chris Black (on "Swing It") and Freddie McGregor (on "One Family").Allmusic's Rick Anderson called it "very nice overall", commenting that Garlin's vocals were "straight out of the dancehall -- more rapid-fire declamation than melodic calypso crooning".

Global (often written in all capitalized letters as GLOBAL) is a brand of cutlery products made by Yoshikin of Japan. Their selection of knives are known for their distinctive one piece, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel design. These are considered premium level products with a single knife often costing upwards of $100 (USD). Global products can often be found at specialty cooking retailers.
Compared to conventional European knives such as PUMA,J. A. Henckels or Wusthof, Global knives are made from a significantly harder alloy of steel, use a thinner blade thickness, and are ground to a narrower angle. This produces an extremely sharp knife which keeps its edge longer and allows for more accurate work, but takes longer to sharpen when it becomes dull. Because of this, the manufacturer recommends using whetstones and ceramic sharpening rods as opposed to the European sharpening steel. In addition, Global knives are renowned for their surprisingly light weight and even balance, a trait achieved by hollowing out the handle during production.

Graciela Chichilnisky (born 1944) is an Argentine American mathematical economist and an authority on climate change. She is a professor of economics at Columbia University.
Background and education
Chichilnisky was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants. She had a child during high school. In July 1966 a military coup occurred; the Argentine military violently closed scientific faculties at the University of Buenos Aires on July 29 during La Noche de los Bastones Largos (The Night of the Long Batons). Without having any undergraduate degree, Chichilnisky matriculated in the doctoral program in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she was supported by a fellowship from the Ford Foundation. She then moved to the University of California, Berkeley in 1968, where she completed her Ph.D. in mathematics in 1971, writing her thesis under the supervision of Jerrold E. Marsden. She then earned a second Ph.D. in economics in 1976 under the supervision of Gérard Debreu, a mathematical economist and Nobel laureate.

Jackie participated in a journalism internship in May 2018 through VACorps.
"When I told my friends I would be spending 12 weeks of my summer in Africa, they thought I was crazy. However, looking back there is absolutely no other way in which I would want to spend my summer. My only regret is that I wish I could've stayed longer. From the moment I got off the plane and grabbed my bags, I was greeted with a network of support that helped me make the transition to Capetonian life. It was a very easy transition to make given the friendly atmosphere of Cape Town. The people here are some of the loveliest and nicest people you will ever meet!
Professionally speaking, VAC did a phenomenal job providing support and answering questions about my internship. I was placed in a journalism internship at Cape Town TV, which allowed me to not only learn more about the journalism field but also explore the many different parts of the Cape Peninsula. I learned a great deal about the lifestyles of native Capetonians from those living in the City Centre all the way to the outskirts of the townships. There was certainly no better way to learn about Cape Town than by going out and exploring, and with my internship, I was able to do that every single day!
