Pope Francis calls for a commitment to 'take care of each other' in 2021
Courtney Mares/CNA
Vatican City, Jan 3, 2021 / 09:30 am MT (CNA).- Pope Francis warned Sunday against the temptation to ignore the suffering of others during the coronavirus pandemic and said that things will get better in the new year to the extent to which the needs of the weakest and most disadvantaged are prioritized.
"We don't know what 2021 has in store for us, but what each of us and all of us together can do is to commit ourselves a little more to take care of each other and of creation, our common home," the pope said in his Angelus address Jan. 3.
In the live video broadcast from the Apostolic Palace, the pope said that "things will get better to the extent that, with God's help, we work together for the common good, putting the weakest and most disadvantaged at the center."
The pope said that there is a temptation to take care only of one's own interests during the pandemic and "to live hedonistically, that is, seeking only to satisfy our own pleasure."
He added: "I read something in the newspapers that saddened me greatly: in one country, I forget which, more than 40 aircraft left, to enable people to flee from the lockdown and to enjoy the holidays."
"But those people, good people, did they not think about those who stayed at home, about the economic problems faced by many people who have been floored by the lockdown, about the sick? They thought only about taking a holiday for their own pleasure. This pained me greatly."
Pope Francis addressed a special greeting to "those who begin the new year with greater difficulties," mentioning the sick and the unemployed.
"I like to think that when the Lord prays to the Father for us, He does not merely speak: He makes Him see the wounds of the flesh, He makes Him see the wounds He suffered for us," he said.
"This is Jesus: with His flesh He is the intercessor, he wanted to bear even the signs of suffering."
In a reflection on the first chapter of the Gospel of John, Pope Francis said that God became man to love us in our human frailty.
"Dear brother, dear sister, God became flesh to tell us, to tell you that He loves us … in our frailty, in your frailty; right there, where we are most ashamed, where you are most ashamed. This is bold," he said.
"Indeed, the Gospel says that He came to dwell among us. He did not come to visit us, and then leave; He came to dwell with us, to stay with us. What, then, does He desire from us? He desires a great intimacy. He wants us to share with Him our joys and sufferings, desires and fears, hopes and sorrows, people and situations. Let us do this, with confidence: let us open our hearts to Him, let us tell Him everything."
Pope Francis encouraged everyone to pause in silence before the nativity to "savor the tenderness of God who became near, who became flesh."
The pope also expressed his closeness to families with young children and to those who are expecting, adding "a birth is always a promise of hope."
"May the Holy Mother of God, in whom the Word became flesh, help us to welcome Jesus, who knocks on the door of our hearts to dwell with us," Pope Francis said.
"Without fear, let us invite Him among us, into our homes, into our families. And also … let us invite Him into our frailties. Let us invite Him, so that He may see our wounds. He will come and life will change."

Impressions of the September 13 Apparition and a step through the minefield

Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day: And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24: 45-47).
April 18, 2017 Tuesday in the Octave of Easter
We are forced to deal here with one of the most disastrous and likely most deliberate, in its origin at least, misstatements in the whole history of Fatima, but first a bit of background. When Sister Lucia published her memoirs, a quarter of a century after the Apparitions, she revealed for the first time the extent of the penances and sacrifices that the children were practicing.
Apparently the movement in their heart to do penance started after the second Apparition of the Angel of Portugal in 1916 when he told them to "Make of everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners." This movement toward sacrifice and penance only accelerated, especially for Blessed Jacinta Marto, after Our Lady showed the children the vision of Hell on July 13, 1917, told them to sacrifice for sinners, and gave them the Fatima intention for which to offer their sacrifices: "O Jesus, it is for the love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
During this time the children followed her commands and the inspirations given by the Holy Spirit to their hearts to do penance. Often when they were shepherding their families' sheep they would do without their lunch and either give it to whatever poor children they found or, if no impoverished families were at hand, they would give their lunch to the sheep. They would deprive themselves of water to drink on those unfathomably hot summer afternoons of the Portuguese serra at a time when there was no air conditioning to retreat into. They prayed constantly, Jacinta spending hours sometimes with her forehead pressed against the earth repeated the prayers of the Angel and the O my Jesus prayer the Blessed Virgin taught them that we now recite after each Mystery of the Rosary. This six year old girl made of everything she could a supplication for the conversion of sinners, to save them from Hell. Blessed Francisco Marto spent the days when other children were in school (since Our Lady had assured him that he wasn't long for this world he felt no purpose in learning lessons to help him advance in it) before the Blessed Sacrament in the local church seeking to console Our Lord and Our Lady for the outrages committed against them. Blessed Francisco was only nine when he was doing this, and Blessed Jacinta only six. What were you doing when you were nine? What was I doing when I was six? What are any of us doing right now?
The tragic misstatement about Fatima originates with one of the penances the children were practicing. They chanced upon the idea a few days after the August 19, 1917 Apparition of tying a rope around their waists as a penance. Here is Lucia's description from Volume II of her memoir repeated on page 78 of 1998's Fatima in Lucia's own words:
Some days later, as we were walking along the road with our sheep, I found a piece of rope that had fallen off a cart. I picked it up and, just for fun, I tied it round my arm. Before long, I noticed that the rope was hurting me.
"Look, this hurts!" I said to my cousins. "We could tie it round our waists and offer this sacrifice to God."
The poor children promptly fell in with my suggestion. We then set about dividing it between the three of us, by placing it across a stone and striking it with the sharp edge of another one that served as a knife. Either because of the thickness or roughness of the rope, or because we sometimes tied it too tightly, this instrument of penance often caused us terrible suffering. Now and then, Jacinta could not keep back her tears, so great was the discomfort this caused her. Whenever I urged her to remove it, she replied: "No! I want to offer this sacrifice to Our Lord in reparation, and for the conversion of sinners."
This was the genesis of Our Lady's instruction to the children on September 13, 1917 that God is pleased with your sacrifices. He does not want you to sleep with the rope on, but only to wear it during the daytime.
This statement of Our Lady is often mutilated by various persons who talk and write about Fatima into some form of the following lie: "Yes the children were doing terrific penances, but Our Lady came and told them to stop doing that." Quite obviously that is not what she said. She said that God was pleased with the penances were offering, but that He wanted them to modify one of them slightly. After all God made us, and He knows us infinitely better than we know ourselves. He knows what we can handle and what what we cannot, what will draw us to Him and what will drive us away.
Yet you will hear this stupid misstatement that "Our Lady told the children to quit doing penances" in some form or another from people who seem to have devoted their lives to spreading the message of Fatima, who have written books about Fatima, who have made careers dealing with Fatima. It has sadly become part of 'what people say' about Fatima.
Why is this important? Because there has been a movement in the Church for a long time, starting in fact many lifetimes before the Second Vatican Council, to be done with penance. It probably goes back in some way to Martin Luther in 1517 and all of his successors and their declarations that the way one lives his life has nothing to do with whether or not he will be saved or not. So over the centuries this idea has crept into and consumed the Church. Penance and mortification, both exterior and interior, slowly over time began to lose their importance. Yet this is what it is to be a Christian: our screwed up will must be subdued and our fallen nature must be conquered. Penance and mortification are how you do that. And there is no other way. To remove penance from the Christian life is in many ways like removing the soul from the body: all you have left is a decaying corpse.
There is also the matter of what penance on our part can do for others and for the world. The Fatima revelations remind us of something that is made clear throughout Sacred Scripture: penance softens the anger of God and loosens the grip that devils have on souls in the world. Consider the account of the exorcism that Our Lord performed when He came down from Mount Tabor with Peter, James, and John after the Transfiguration. He encounters the rest of the Apostles who had been trying and failing to exorcise a demon from a young boy. Notice here as well the intimate connection between prayer and fasting and belief and faith. Here it is from the Gospel of Mark:
One of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a dumb spirit; and wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid; and I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able." And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me." And they brought the boy to him; and when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And Jesus * asked his father, "How long has he had this?" And he said, "From childhood. And it has often cast him into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us." And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again." And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse; so that most of them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting. (Mark 9:17-29)"
This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting. And what is the message of Fatima? Prayer and fasting. In this sense fasting, penance, sacrifice, they are three different words for the same thing. If you wish to drive out the demons afflicting souls in our world then heed the message of Fatima.
This would seem to have been a primary reason for Our Lady's appearance at the Cova da Iria four centuries after Father Martin Luther's little outburst: to call people back to penance. After all Our Lord Himself after his Resurrection stated that penance should be preached in his Name to all nations. How many times do we read in the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, that the followers of the Beast (Antichrist) and his false prophet will in the last days of this world refuse to do penance, despite the plagues that afflict them, and instead blaspheme God?
The penances that these children did were a primary reason for the beatification of Francisco and Jacinta Marto in the year 2000 so why do these people continue to repeat the lie that "Our Lady told them to stop making these sacrifices?" How can you call them 'Blessed' if you deny the reason for their beatification? Some of it is just habit, some of it is just a herd mentality i.e. people feel safe (even though they are in mortal danger) when they just repeat what everybody else says despite the fact that they know better and some are just ignorant, whether that ignorance is willful or not is between them and God.
But there is another group who have another purpose. They think that by spreading this lie they can undo a large part if not the whole message of Fatima. They are not the ones who repeat this lie publicly, rather they whisper it in the ears of authors of books on the subject, they cause it to be written in footnotes or cause it to be repeated by people who are supposed to be authorities on the subject. And trust me they are there. They do exist. Just ignore them and the fruits of their work and do penance.
So what is penance? What sacrifices are we called to make? Are we supposed to go out and buy a hairshirt or wrap a cilice around our thighs and wear it until we draw blood? No. If God wants you to do that you will know it and it won't be because you read this post. But that is a dangerous place to start doing penance because most often those things are purely self will and feed only your pride and hurry you down the road to spiritual disaster. So what do we do?
Penance is primarily doing the will of God, especially when it contravenes your own will. Penance is not sinning, especially when the devil makes sin look like a good and reasonable choice that will do no harm to anyone and may perhaps actually help somebody. Penance is enduring and conquering with prayer and patience grievous temptations that afflict you to commit certain sins. Penance is being patient with the troublesome and helping them bear their burdens. If you want to do real penance then try this: the next time you encounter someone whom you deem to be rude and inconsiderate and whom you think is in your way then be kind to them, smile at them, pray a Hail Mary for them, ask them if you can help them in any way and maybe, just maybe, try getting out of their way. In other words learn to live and love the Works of Mercy.
Sometimes penance is just to live in this world that is so awash with sin and error that 99.9999999% of the human race perceives good to be evil and evil to be good and not to succumb to it. To not say Ave (2 John 1:10) to those in positions of authority who preach all manner of heretical yet seductive stupidity from the pulpit and to keep the commandments of God and bear the testimony of Jesus Christ in a world that is constantly screaming in your ear at the top of its lungs that neither of them have ever existed, that it is all a delusional fantasy.
These things are penance too, and if you let Him the Holy Spirit will show you more and better ways of doing penance than anything I could come up with. Pray the Rosary every day and do penance. Make supplication in reparation for the outrages committed against the Holy Trinity and for the conversion of sinners. Place your forehead against the earth and say:
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.
The Apparition of September 13, 1917

And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves. Now many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them. As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things (Mark 6:32-34).
April 15, 2017 Holy Saturday
Here is Lucia's account of the Apparition of September 13, 1917 written almost a quarter of a century later in Volume IV of her memoir:
As the hour approached, I set out with Jacinta and Francisco, but owing to the crowds around us we could only advance with difficulty. The roads were packed with people, and everyone wanted to see us and speak to us. There was no human respect whatsoever. Simple folk, and even ladies and gentlemen, struggled to break through the crowd that pressed around us. No sooner had they reached us than they threw themselves on their knees before us, begging us to place their petitions before Our Lady. Others who could not get close to us shouted from a distance:
"For the love of God, ask Our Lady to cure my son who is a cripple!" Yet another cried out: "And to cure mine who is blind!… To cure mine who is deaf!… To bring back my husband, my son, who has gone to the war!… To convert a sinner!… To give me back my health as I have tuberculosis!" and so on.
All the afflictions of poor humanity were assembled there. Some climbed to the tops of trees and walls to see us go by, and shouted down to us. Saying yes to some, giving a hand to others and helping them up from the dusty ground, we managed to move forward, thanks to some gentlemen who went ahead and opened a passage for us through the multitude.
Now, when I read in the New Testament about those enchanting scenes of Our Lord's passing through Palestine, I think of those which Our Lord allowed me to witness, while yet a child, on the poor roads and lanes from Aljustrel to Fatima and on to the Cova da Iria! I give thanks to God, offering Him the faith of our good Portuguese people, and I think: "If these people so humbled themselves before three poor children, just because they were mercifully granted the grace to speak to the Mother of God, what would they not do if they saw Our Lord Himself in person before them?"
Well, none of this was called for here! It was a distraction of my pen, leading me away where I did not mean to go. But, never mind! It's just another useless digression. I am not tearing it out, so as not to spoil the notebook.
At last, we arrived at the Cova da Iria, and on reaching the holmoak we began to say the Rosary with the people. Shortly afterwards, we saw the flash of light, and then Our Lady appeared on the holmoak.
"Continue to pray the Rosary in order to obtain the end of the war. In October Our Lord will come, as well as Our Lady of Dolours and Our Lady of Carmel. Saint Joseph will appear with the Child Jesus to bless the world. God is pleased with your sacrifices. He does not want you to sleep with the rope on, but only to wear it during the daytime."
"I was told to ask you many things, the cure of some sick people, of a deaf-mute…"
"Yes, I will cure some, but not others. In October I will perform a miracle so that all may believe."
The Our Lady began to rise as usual, and disappeared.
Pray the Rosary every day… for peace.

If you have ever been the subject of an arrest and found yourself behind bars, then you likely know that serving time in a jail is anything but fun. Jails are reserved for criminals who violate a wide variety of laws, and not just for violent offences.
Society is built upon carefully crafted laws. The founding fathers first started creating laws centuries ago, and since then the United States government has been expanding upon them.
To face the brutal truth, you or your loved one may get arrested for one reason or another and end up in jail. It can be very distressing, especially if it is your first time being arrested and unceremoniously bundled behind bars.

Living like a local in Charlottetown
Singer-songwriter Meaghan Blanchard has called Charlottetown, P.E.I., home for the past nine years thanks to its music scene and inspiring landscape. "There's no lack of music in the city. People—even big acts—seem to want to play here," she says. These are some of her favourite island spots.
For Celtic music
"A ceilidh [kay-lee] is a collaborative music sharing that everyone can take part in. The Old Triangle downtown is a Celtic pub and they have open jams on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. People can take their instruments, play, sing along or watch."
"Cedar's Eatery is a great Lebanese restaurant if you like garlic, falafel and shawarma. It's dimly lit, romantic and has a beautiful atmosphere for an evening meal. They also have steak-cut fries, which are to die for."
"Tea Hill Beach is a 10-minute drive outside Charlottetown, and it's a little hidden secret. It's not a sprawling white-sand beach, but it's the warmest water I've ever felt anywhere in P.E.I. It's clay and it's very shallow. You can walk out for days [when] the tide is low."
"I'm a huge coffee person and I think the best place to go is Leonhard's Café [and Restaurant]. It's a German restaurant downtown on Great George Street. They have fresh food and European-style coffee you just can't find anywhere else on P.E.I."
Music-buying
"We have one record store called Back Alley Music. They've got tons of vinyl and the owner is always getting new and classic albums in."
"There were train tracks that once went from one end of the island to the other—when the train became an irrelevant way of travelling, the tracks were turned into biking and walking trails. You can rent a bike down on the Charlottetown waterfront and take a great two-hour trip to Mount Stewart, a tiny [community]. There's a music venue there called The Trailside Café, they get huge Canadian acts and it's a great restaurant."
Island treat
"We've got a fabulous P.E.I. ice cream brand called COWS. There's a store down on the waterfront and everything in there is cow-themed. It's hard [high-butterfat] ice cream and they've got new flavours every year. It's so good."
Lively nightlife
"On Victoria Row, there's lots of music to check out during the summer. There are pubs and restaurants in a row, with live music."

Labor's tax cuts will make EVs more affordable – but now the key is to unlock supply
Labor's introduction of tax cuts to bring down the cost of electric vehicles is a welcome acceleration of Australia's electric vehicle transition but clean car standards will be crucial to unlocking supply, says Greenpeace Australia Pacific.
Federal Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen is introducing changes today that will see import duties lifted from a range of electric vehicle models, cutting purchase prices by as much as 5 per cent, as well as exempting some electric vehicle models from the fringe benefits tax.
The Australian Taxation Office has raised the luxury car tax threshold for "fuel-efficient vehicles" by more than $5,000 to $84,916.
Lindsay Soutar, senior campaigner at Greenpeace Australia Pacific, says that this a strong start for the Albanese Government, but a strong Fuel Efficiency Standard will make the biggest impact on electric vehicle uptake in Australia.
"The Albanese Government's fast off the starting line with tax cuts to make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible. With petrol prices and transport emissions soaring, it's heartening to see the new government prioritise electric transport in the early weeks of its term."
"These tax measures, combined with the commitment to switch the government fleet to zero emissions vehicles, will play an important role in accelerating the EV market in Australia."
"Now the key test for the Albanese Government is addressing the crucial issue of electric vehicle supply. Australians are clamouring for electric transport, with increasing demand and long waiting lists."
"A strong Fuel Efficiency Standard, which would heavily incentivise supply of clean cars, will put Australia on to the electric vehicle superhighway."
The Albanese government has left open the possibility of introducing stronger vehicle performance standards, including Fuel Efficiency Standards, to accelerate electric vehicle uptake.
The move towards cleaner transport comes as Australia's national emissions data has revealed an alarming rebound in transport pollution under the Morrison Government, with transport emissions growing by four per cent over the past year, up ten per cent from 2005 levels.

Lionel Messi Scores Argentina's First World Cup Knockout Goal as Argentina Beats Australia 2-1 to Advance to Quarterfinals
By Priya On Dec 4, 2022
credit-ndtv sports
Lionel Messi produced a moment of trademark quality to score Argentina's first World Cup knockout goal on Saturday, sending Argentina into the quarterfinals. The 789th goal scored by Messi in his 1,000th World Cup appearance, his first in the knockout stages, helped set up a matchup with the Netherlands on Friday in the last eight.
Julian Alvarez scored the other in the 57th moment after some calamitous Australian defending, before Enzo Fernandez's 77th-minute own goal set up an out of the blue nervy finale. One of the greatest players of all time, now 35, is aiming to win the World Cup for the first time in what will undoubtedly be his last tournament.
A brave Australian team that defied all expectations in Qatar and went down fighting was ultimately broken by Messi's classy goal in the first half, bending the ball into the bottom corner.
At the 45,000-capacity Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Australia's yellow-shirted fans were significantly outnumbered by Argentina's raucous, bellowing, and bouncing supporters.

The Sydney Opera House was illuminated in green and gold back in Australia, where fans could watch the game live on television by getting up at dawn.
Although their team was a huge underdog and no one in their own country had anticipated that they would even make it this far in the tournament, this World Cup has been full of surprises.
When Argentina, two-time champions, lost to Saudi Arabia, 2-1, in their opening match, it was arguably the biggest surprise in Qatar.
However, this would not be a repeat.

The Socceroos of Graham Arnold set out to unsettle their opponents. Jackson Irvine was ticketed for slamming into left-back Marcos Acuna and Keanu Baccus left one on Messi.
Australia was held back by Argentina, but the Socceroos remained steadfast and gained confidence as the uninspiring first half went on.
Messi was fighting with Australian defender Aziz Behich on the sidelines, which was making him angry.
Ten minutes before the break, Argentina and their coach Lionel Scaloni desperately needed something special, and Messi provided it.
For an Argentina free kick, Alexis Mac Allister fed defender Nicolas Otamendi, who was still in the box. Otamendi mishandled the ball, which Messi bent left-footed into the corner.
Argentina's first successful shot.
– Ryan makes mistakes:
Australia had only made it this far once before, in 2006, and in the second half, they needed to attack.
They instead self-destructed. Mathew Ryan, captain, and goalkeeper attempted to play out just before the hour under intense pressure from Rodrigo De Paul, who was running hard, but Alvarez dispossessed him.
The 22-year-old striker for Manchester City nipped in, stole Ryan's ball, and swiveled to score against an empty net for his second goal in as many games. In anger, Arnold thumped his dugout.
With 13 minutes remaining, substitute Goodwin scored after latching onto a loose clearance and hitting Fernandez with a shot that ricocheted in.
After that, Behich went on an incredible wild run from left back and beat three players from Argentina before Lisandro Martinez made a crucial last-ditch challenge.
Before the hordes of South American fans gathered to celebrate a significant victory, teenager Garang Kuol made a last-ditch attempt to stop Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the midst of the final minute of regulation.

'Abazalwa bembhethe', 2020 by Wonder Buhle
Wonder Mbambo Buhle // painting "Flowers like Stars"
"It is always a combination of joyful and emotional moment whenever I start to lay these "Flowers like Stars" symbols in my paintings. They are a reflection of the energy that has been passed on to me through the bloodline of my grandmother as a guidance to be fearless, to learn to appreciate, to purify the soul and to connect with my spiritual entities in favour to unwrap my universal gifts. They are a poetic symbol that is easily drawn to understand the peace of the moon, moon as in our dark beautiful faces that appears to be black. When I paint these faces in juxtaposition with these symbols, I feel accompanied and purposeful. As a kid who grew up playing in the fields a lot, my grandmother will always advise me not to destroy the "Lucky flowers" this grew a curiosity about their purpose and she said "I will tell you one day but just know, they carry our fortunes", it has been three years after she had passed on, but her teachings is the attitude I give to the world, My work is not about finding my identity, I know exactly who I am and where I am from, I know about my richness and the wisdom of my people. The layers of blackness I give to these faces they are the assurance of our kind."
Wonder Buhle
Untitled; 2018
Flowers like Stars, maternal generational wisdom like moonlight magik unraveling cosmic gifts and the moon; as in beautiful dark faces that appear to be Black- this is what moves at the heart and fore of Wonder Buhle's artistic expression and its underpinning conceptual terrain. Born in 1989, in Kwa-Ngcolosi in KwaZulu Natal, "which is one of the villages still ruled under a chief. Having started art as a hobby at the age of nine, [Buhle] says that he was encouraged by his mother to further explore art as a career as he use to play a lot with charcoal from firewood making stick man drawings on the walls of the house as a kid". With a bold play of texture, colour, symbolism and composition, where Wonder predominantly imagines and brings his works to life through the mediums of acrylic paint and charcoal, one would be quick to characterise the artists' technical approach to his work and its execution as brazen. However, I am of the mind that it takes a certain kind of intentional delicate balance and tender connection to the affective life of "dead materials" to be able to create with them in what at first encounter seems like "with reckless abandonment" but is actually with a delicate balance and a keen understanding of elements such as colour and composition. The artist who had his first solo exhibition titled Ukumisa Insika at the Durban Art Gallery in 2018 and his second solo at PilippZollinger Gallery in Zurich titled To Find Me, is set to have a show with BKhz later this year, speaking to Banele Khoza who is the director of the gallery about what drew him to Wonder and his work he had this to say:
"He is a talent that you can not ignore. His works linger at the back of your mind and each time they are encountered they stretch the conversation. I have been personally watching Mbambo's work for over a year now and seeing the strides that he [has taken]by himself for his art; holding his own on social media and building a community that supports his work- independent of representation. It is remarkable to witness and this is the future of engaging with artists. We can not ignore the reality that we all have the same tools- and who can articulate their own narrative other than artists themselves? Our collaborations are to build with the artists and foster what we can with them and not hold them to our institute as we still have limitations. Mbambo's voice is one to keep an eye on. He has a ground to stand on, thanks to his gift of mark making."
Umcebo; 2020
Speaking to Wonder via cellphone I asked him some questions with regards to his practice and the imaginative terrain he creates within.
Looking at your work it seems as though you work primarily with the mediums of acrylic and charcoal, which I find extremely interesting in relation to the conceptual and thematic explorations of your work and the experiences and multitudes of Blackness it speak to. Both can be incredibly unforgiving materials, however, both can be manipulated and worked over to produce beauty and magic. Were these mediums a matter of symbolism or was using them driven by other intentions?
Wonder Buhle: Charcoal has always been a very central medium in my works. I don't know maybe because of the space I grew up in – growing up in the rural and stuff – its been something I've seen all my childhood from the fires made by my grandmother and the ashes left from the fire which I would draw with but fast forward to when I first engaged with the material at art school, it took me back to these memories and this created a bond cause it was a material I knew really well. I had always wanted to paint but was also afraid cause I wasn't confident about my painting, which I had to overcome. I then invited the acrylic into my work as I found it easy to use and I work very fast when mark making in charcoal so I wanted to apply the same technique with acrylic. But it also taught me lessons, like patience through layering and layering, to find what I'm looking for but it's always a process. I guess this is the primal relationship I have with both mediums.
Learning the hard way; 2020
Symbolism seems to be a very integral part of your work and process, can you tell me a bit about that relationship you have, and have fostered with it and its incorporation into your work?
Wonder Buhle: The symbolism in my work, I think they really came from the conversations that I used to have with my grandmother as a spiritual person hence my mother is a Sangoma as well. So as a child I used to play in these big open spaces like fields that you get a lot of in villages and there were these flowers that looked like stars. My grandmother would always warn me from messing around with them as she saw them as lucky flowers that carried spiritual powers but I didn't understand cause I was a kid and I also didn't know that this is what my journey would become. The transition of inviting the symbols into my work happened in 2018 which is also when my grandmother passed on. I took the symbols as sort of spiritual entities to accompany me in the journey and provide guardians to help cleanse and invite fortune. So I started to charge my figures or rather to layer the figures I paint and draw with this symbolism. They also have this look like stars so I started trying to understand, how we as human beings relate to the stars and universe, and how do we absorb energy from these entities?
As an artist whose work I am not familiar with, Wonder encapsulates it asa much needed "constant reminder of our greatness [as Black people]". "Wonder is one of the artists who are still based in KZN. [His] voice became an important one because it reflected the values, hard work and aspirations of artists in that community. Mbambo, visited the gallery [BKhz] before on different occasions and establishing a relationship with him was easier due to the mutual vision we shared", said fellow artist and and member of the BKhz team Papi Konopi who will be overseeing the facilitation of Wonder's show.

In order to expand viewership, especially among non-followers, we need followers to retweet so it comes up in the news feeds of their followers. I don't really know how to go about doing that though, but first steps would be getting more followers as potential disseminators of the information. We could potentially tweet an appeal to our followers to retweet, explaining how their retweets would spread our message and fulfill one of the key purposes of the project.
I like Clare's idea of making an appeal to retweet. It's probably one of the simplest ways to quickly expose new followers to our project. We could also tag the tweets with relevant tags, perhaps with historical or location tags (we talked a little bit about this in class). That way, those who follow those tags could come across our tweets and be interested enough to follow.
I also agree with Clare. Encouraging re-tweets would accomplish both our purpose of surprising Twitter users with sobering ads for runaway slaves, and our purpose of gaining more readership to increase the odds of valuable ads being unearthed. As Alyssa mentioned, tweeting with trending hashtags might achieve the same goal. However, that comes at the cost of reducing the number of available characters in the tweet.
Good ideas, and it also occurs to me to appeal to our followers to come to this post and offer their suggestions.
Re: whether hashtags like #houston or #austin would take up too many characters, it depends on what we want the "on this day" tweets to say. The tweet would have to be some combination of the strings "on this day," the title of the newspaper, the city the ad was published in, the year of publication, and the permalink. That's all we will be able to get out of the filename metadata.
I like the idea of incorporating the hashtags into the relevant data in order to save characters while hopefully spreading readership across Twitter through generic tags like "on this day" and the city name, as mentioned before. One potential problem: I don't know how many characters the permalinks tend to be, or if that would even be an issue.
Clare, links will be shortened by the Twitter api to 22 characters. So that gives us 117 characters to work with if you account for the space between our text and the link.

In 1793 a French expedition to the South Pacific landed in the far south of Van Diemen's Land, at Recherche Bay. They began a garden, and their contacts with the Tasmanian Aborigines were—on this occasion—amiable. Traces of that fleeting presence—neither the first, last nor longest by the French in Tasmania, nor on the mainland of Australia—abide, but they are in jeopardy. According to one of those protesting, my friend, local resident and historian Bruce Poulson, the lands of the North East Peninsula of Recherche Bay are under threat from logging. A decision on whether this will proceed, or whether the contested territory will be heritage-listed because of its historical significance is due soon. In the meantime a shed full of research materials at the back of Poulson's home at nearby Hastings was burned down earlier this year.
Fortunately he was able to complete and publish an excellent short study, Recherche Bay: A History, which ranges from the arrival of the French in the district to the present-day controversy over land use. He notes that here the first Catholic masses were celebrated in Australia, here the first white woman came ashore in Tasmania. Disguised as a male, Louise Girardin even fought a duel on a beach at the bay.
Poulson moves engagingly through the history of European settlement, discussing the logging, mining and fishing in the region and the decline of these industries and of the communities which they supported.
The French presence in southern and eastern Tasmania is commemorated in place names along the coast, but the French explored from the southern island as far north as modern-day Darwin, as well as east to New Zealand. The first expedition of 1772 was led by Marion Dufresne, the last in 1839 by Durmont D'Urville. Not 1939, as Colin Dyer's The French Explorers and the Aboriginal Australians has it. Dyer—as his title suggests—focuses not so much on the geopolitical motives for French exploration, the first half century of which took place during intermittent war with Britain, but with the anthropological discoveries and speculations concerning the natives, les sauvages, of those voyages.
No permanent French settlement was made, although one was contemplated in the strategically placed islands of Bass Strait. Perhaps fate decreed that the French were never to be more than visitors. Dufresne and a number of his crew were killed and eaten by Maoris; Laperouse and his ships vanished without trace somewhere north-east of the Australian continent. (An afternote in Poulson's book suggests that the wreck of one of those ships might have been discovered off the Solomon Islands). 'Like so many of his unhappy predecessors', Baudin died before reaching home, as did D'Entrecasteaux and his second-in-command. D'Urville did regain French soil, only to be killed in a train crash on a day trip to Versailles.
The French were dispatched with high-minded instructions. For instance, D'Entrecasteaux was told to 'seek to know the ways of life and customs of the natives' and 'to live in good understanding with them'. This was not usually possible, but if the Aborigines and Maoris were often the aggressors in the confusing contact of cultures this may have been, Dyer argues, because 'the major element of surprise and astonishment was reserved for the indigenous inhabitants'. Nevertheless, the violence that some of the French experienced on making landfall persuaded them to contempt, not so much for the natives as for the philosophers back home—those promoters of 'the noble savage' such as Rousseau, who 'consider man in his wild state to be a model of innocence and goodness'.
In Australia, the scientifically curious French tried to make anthropological sense, and records, of the people whom they encountered. They remarked their nakedness, their diet, their rituals, mutilations and want of housing. They measured their bodies and compiled lexicons of their languages. Prejudice crept in, Arago describing the Aborigines around Sydney as 'ugly, hideous and decrepit at birth'. Yet they were pitied as well. The French explorer Baudin, whose crew enjoyed the hospitality of Governor King at Sydney Cove, wrote in sorrow of the Aborigines there that 'the small number of those surrounding you will not long exist'. This well-meaning lament would have many echoes as the 19th century progressed, but no such simple outcome as Baudin feared.
Dyer's book will be welcomed for its wealth of detail, not least because he has translated (for the first time) some of the French impressions of Australia and its Aboriginal inhabitants. Yet one wishes that he had been as venturesome as those whose stories he tells: in a fuller analysis of the collision of philosophical preconceptions and empirical observations, in a comparison of the visions of French and British voyagers into the South Pacific. This is a work that opens numerous pathways. One hopes that one of them is the saving of the land around Recherche Bay.

How To Read Brazil
Vanessa Barbara, Daniel Galera & Chico Mattoso
Vanessa Barbara, Daniel Galera and Chico Mattoso share three essential works by Brazilian authors.
On 5 July Granta announced the first ever list of twenty Best of Young Brazilian Novelists. The collection is currently available in Portuguese to be translated into English and published in November by Granta and in Spanish and Chinese by our international partners next year. Here we asked three Best of Young Brazilians – Daniel Galera, Vanessa Barbara and Chico Mattoso – for their own list of three essential books by Brazilian authors to find out which writers of past generations inspire them the most.
Many Brazilian authors played an important role in my life as a reader, and curiously two of them, João Gilberto Noll and Hilda Hilst, write in a prose style that is very lyrical, sensual and full of metaphysical weight, whereas my own style is more straightforward, realist or merely physical. I would mention A fúria do corpo by Noll and Fluxo-Floema by Hilst as two particularly intense works.
A fúria do corpo (The fury of the body), by João Gilberto Noll
In this novel an unnamed character moves aimlessly around a seedy Rio de Janeiro facing unusual and sometimes shocking situations. There's almost no plot and the unifying element is the human body, which goes through a journey of pleasure and decay. Noll's nameless, drifting kind of characters sometimes appear in my own writing. In other books he describes my home city Porto Alegre in a personal way that appeals to me.
Fluxo-Floema (Flux-Phloem), by Hilda Hilst
This was Hilda Hilst's first book of prose after establishing herself as a poet. Her narrators see death, mystery and eroticism in the world's simplest details and rant beautifully about it. The flow of her sentences never fails to impress me. The metaphysical probing and the rejection of plot in her work are more radical than Noll's, but somehow she's able to go on and on and keep the book gripping and readable. I never tried to imitate her – that would make no sense – but she inspired me to develop my own style to the limit.
Grande Sertão: Veredas (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands) by João Guimarães Rosa
Finally, I can't help mentioning Grande Sertão: Veredas by João Guimarães Rosa. I was already twenty-two years old when I read it – already a self-published author – and the experience went way beyond my highest expectations. I'm not sure I can say anything really new about this which is considered by many the greatest Brazilian novel ever published. It's a Faustian epic of awe-inspiring scope. In terms of language and mythical quality, it stands for the Brazilian inland of the 'sertão' as Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian for the American West. A difficult, weird, true and timeless novel.
All three books are written in one single, long section without breaks or paragraphs (in the case of 'Fluxo-Floema', each of the five 'stories' is a section of its own), which may or may not have to do with the effect they had on me as a reader. I really can't tell. They didn't directly influence my own writing style, but their fearlessness left a mark on me. They remind me to try to go all the way.
Vanessa Barbara
Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas), by Machado de Assis
This is a memoir written by a dead man with a good sense of humour and mediocre character, who may be dead but is still the narrator, so you have to respect him. After all, 'frankness is the prime virtue of a dead man'. Considered a serious classic author in Brazil (you have to read him at school), Machado de Assis wasn't as serious as it seemed. His novel is strangely amusing and has a subversive style, unusual chapters and a unique voice. It is dedicated 'to the worm who first gnawed on the cold flesh of my corpse' and is wonderfully written. I always laugh out loud in some passages, even knowing them by heart. He's my favourite Brazilian writer, often compared to Lawrence Sterne, Kurt Vonnegut and Samuel Beckett.
Excerpt: For some time I debated over whether I should start these memoirs at the beginning or at the end, that is, whether I should put my birth or my death in first place.
Grande Sertão: Veredas (Great Backlands: Tracks), by Guimarães Rosa
If Machado de Assis is our Lawrence Sterne, then Guimarães Rosa is our James Joyce. Grande Sertão is a difficult novel, full of neologisms and a peculiar rhythm, situated in the remote and arid backlands of Brazil. The main character is Riobaldo, an urban middle class man who ends up as an outlaw, and his concealed love for Diadorim, another 'jagunço'.
Excerpt: The hours were endless. The sun was pouring down on the back of our necks. The sun, the burning sun, under which I sweated; my hair was wet, and the inside of my clothing, and I had an itch in the middle of my back; parts of my body were numb. I kept on shooting.
A Lua Vem da Ásia (The Moon Comes from Asia), by Campos de Carvalho
This is a relatively unknown novel from a relatively unknown writer. A Lua Vem da Ásia is narrated by a man who thinks he's in a concentration camp that he formerly thought was a luxury hotel. 'I cannot tell whether it is in Europe or in Asia, or even in Polynesia.' He seems obviously crazy and is actually locked in a mental institution, but there's logic in his insanity. The prose is satirical, pessimist and yet profound. In a quick and eccentric style, he describes his pathetic attempts to make sense of his life, a random succession of absurd events. It's a fragmentary shattered novel, constructed by a chaotic mind.
Excerpt: At sixteen I killed my Logic professor. Claiming self-defense – and what defense might be more legitimate? – I was found innocent by five votes against two and went to live under a bridge over the Seine, even though I was never in Paris. I let my beard grow full in my mind, bought a pair of glasses for short-sightedness and spent the nights stargazing, a cigarette between my fingers.
Chico Mattoso
Contos (Short stories), by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
Machado de Assis is best known for amazing novels such as Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro, but few people outside Brazil are aware of the greatness of his short stories. He could easily be placed on a level with masters like Chekhov, Maupassant, or Hemingway. Machado had a great eye for detail and was a sharp and sophisticated observer of the human condition, and these qualities somehow seem to be refined in his short stories. They are funny and sombre, delicate and cruel; to read them is a constant delight. Machado is always giving me lessons on style, intelligence, subtlety and wit. His wild inventiveness knows no boundaries. I can't recommend him enough.
Angústia (Anguish), by Graciliano Ramos
Angústia is one of those novels that not only moves or compels you, but can make you physically sick. Graciliano Ramos is a master of post-modern realism. Some critics have described this book (which was published in 1936) as 'existentialist avant la lettre'. Graciliano brings us to the hell of subjectivity, to its most dreadful demons. Everything in this unsettling novel exudes pain and misery – but there is also space for moments of surprising lyricism. The book's brilliant use of stream of consciousness amazes me every time I read it, and the last pages' monologue is one of the most beautiful – and sad – pieces of fiction I have ever read. There are no wasted words in Graciliano's books. All of his sentences are like daggers that stab you directly in the heart.
Três Mulheres de Três PPPês (Three Women of Three P's), by Paulo Emilio Salles Gomes
I don't think this book has had proper recognition in Brazil yet. To me it is one of the most brilliant works of Brazilian fiction in the second half of the twentieth century. Paulo Emilio was a film critic who started to write fiction in his late years. This book – his first novel – was written when he was in his 60s, and is a masterpiece. Its apparent simplicity hides a kaleidoscopic – and hilarious – investigation of São Paulo's snobbish and vulgar upper class during the 1940s. The book is comprised of three novellas whose protagonists – all named Polydoro, hence the title – are men who suffer in the hands of powerful and manipulative women. Três Mulheres has an amazing freedom of style and yet it sounds miraculously composed. It's the kind of book that makes you want to start writing immediately.
Vanessa Barbara is a journalist, translator and writer. Her publications include O livro amarelo do terminal (2008), winner of the Jabuti Award, the novel O verão do Chibo (2008), co-written with Emilio Fraia and the children's book Endrigo, o escavador de umbigo (2011), illustrated by Andrés Sandoval. She has published a translation of The Great Gatsby, edits the literary website A Hortaliça (www.hortifruti.org) and is a columnist for the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. Her novel Noites de alface was published in 2013.
Daniel Galera was born in São Paulo, but spent most of his life in Porto Alegre. He is founder of the publishing house Livros do Mal, which published his volume of short stories Dentes guardados in 2001. Galera's work has been published in the US, Italy, France, Portugal and Argentina. Together with the artist Rafael Coutinho, he published the graphic novel Cachalote in 2010.
Chico Mattoso was born in France and has lived in São Paulo. Longe de Ramiro, his first novel, was short-listed for the Jabuti Award. In 2011, he published his second book, Nunca vai embora. He currently lives in Chicago, where he is studying screenwriting at Northwestern University.

Launched to coincide with the start of the new era at Belle Vue, this double-DVD box set looks back on the glory days at Hyde Road. It's a four hour treasure trove of archive film, photographs and interviews. The magnificent "Tokyo Melody" theme tune plays over the opening and closing credits, an evocative piece of music that will immediately transport loyal Aces fans back through the decades.
Hyde Road was the home of the Belle Vue Aces from 1929 until 1987, so there's plenty of ground to cover and many legendary riders and meetings to discuss.
Early stars included Eric Langton, Jack Parker and Bill Kitchen. Interviews with all three have been tracked down and included. Langton shares some memories from the first World Final and his belief that he had a gentleman's agreement with eventual winner Lionel Van Praag. Parker's interview is illustrated by a marvellous selection of vintage photographs, while Kitchen tells us about the wartime speedway at Hyde Road.
The DVD highlights the remarkable statistic that 170 wartime meetings were staged and that not one of them was postponed or abandoned. Kitchen recalls that the same core set of riders would ride each week, supplemented by whoever was home on leave or who could be freed up from their war work.
The producers have benefited from the earlier work of Roy Nichol from Aces-on-Video who tracked down lots of interesting footage for his "Aces of Yesteryear" series. The best bits from those earlier productions have been cherry-picked and interspersed with other archive footage and newly recorded content.
An extended interview with Peter Collins is amongst the new and exclusive content. 'P.C' (looking well after his health troubles) started his association with the club as a fan, running wild on the terraces with the Morton brothers and his other mates. He shares his memories of watching the club's other famous 'P.C.' - the legendary Peter Craven - and other stars from the fifties and sixties.
After the post-war boom, new stars started to emerge and Craven was perhaps the greatest of them all. He was known as the "The Wizard of Balance" and he lives up to that moniker in the clips we see of him.
Ivan Mauger was the King of Hyde Road in the late sixties and early seventies. In audio interviews he looks back on this spell, the most successful of his long career, with great affection. He's captured on film at various stages of his career - riding for the Aces, returning to ride for Exeter and in his "Farewell to Britain" meeting in 1985. The film from that meeting allows us to see many of the sport's other legends in six-rider races around the famous Belle Vue circuit.
Other big meetings featured include the BLRC, the Golden Jubilee from 1978, the Northern Riders Championship and testimonials for Soren Sjosten and Peter Collins.
Collins himself progressed from young fan to teenage sensation and he discusses his career at length, often referring to his great mate Chris Morton, whose own career ran in parallel and was only slightly less successful. Morton, now playing a lead role at the new track, is also interviewed and we see his own thrilling track exploits on the DVD.
Expert opinion suggests that the best ever race at the track was the race-off between Peter Collins and Anders Michanek for the 1973 KO Cup. Unfortunately no footage of the race exists, but we do hear an audio commentary of the race, accompanied by a series of still photographs. The palpable excitement in the commentator's voice suggests that the magnificence of this races has not simply become exaggerated through time.
The legendary venue closed at the end of the 1987 season, the land having being sold to A.D.T Car Auctions. This was clearly a source of much regret for Collins, Mauger and Morton - though the money on offer was simply too much for Stuart Bamforth to turn down.
Thankfully Peter Collins was able to negotiate a move to the neighbouring greyhound circuit to keep the club alive. Perhaps in years to come a similar production will be made to cover the Aces' time at Kirky Lane? That circuit is presently unlamented, but perhaps history will be kinder to the 1988 to 2015 era in years to come?

Macarthur railway station is located on the Main South line, serving the Sydney suburb of Campbelltown. It is served by Sydney Trains T8 Airport & South and NSW TrainLink Southern Highlands Line services. It is the southern extremity of the electrified Sydney Trains network.

History
In 1976, a plan was created to build a new station 488m in the southern direction of the existing Campbelltown railway station. The plan for a "new" Campbelltown station was dropped and the plan was modified to be an unmanned, new, station. The plan was later changed to be 1800m to its current location, being built to serve a shopping centre being built 500m away. The station was originally supposed to be named Ambarvale, after the suburb it is located, but this was later changed to Macarthur, the name of the region. Construction started in November 1983 with the station opening on 28 July 1985. It was initially only served by a few peak-hour services until a new timetable was introduced on 16 November 1986.

The station initially consisted of two side platforms. Because suburban trains terminating on the main lines caused congestion to through trains, a side turnback platform was added in time for the 2000 Summer Olympics.

Under the CityRail Clearways Project, Macarthur received an upgrade. This work, completed in late 2010, included refurbishment of the station, a bus interchange, and a new carpark. In a proposed second stage, Macarthur was to receive a fourth platform for through trains heading south, however, the project was cancelled.

In January 2013, the Southern Sydney Freight Line opened to the west of the station.

Electrification through the Macarthur station site was completed in 1968 as part of the Liverpool-Glenlee electrification project. Electric passenger trains terminated at Campbelltown, but freight trains continued to Glenlee coal siding and loader (now in Mount Annan) so that electrically hauled coal trains could connect it and Port Kembla. The Glenlee coal loader has closed and electric trains are stopped at Macarthur, with the wires only extending a few hundred metres down the line.

Beshalach – Chesed: Natural Kindness
This dvar Torah is taken from the notes I took about 18 years ago of Rav Moshe Chait zt"l's Shmuz in Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim Yerushalayim
We find in this week's Torah portion of Beshalach The Song the Jew's sang at the sea. One of the stanzas says: "You stretched forth Your right hand and the earth swallowed them up" (Shemos 12:15).
The Yalkut Shimone says that Hashem required the land to swallow up the Egyptians as a burial. What was their merit to be buried? It was because they said "Hashem is the righteous". They declared it almost by force, but still it is a tremendous merit that outweighed all the evil they did. Despite all their evil, they admitted they were wrong, so Hashem gave them a burial. This is hinted to in the words: "You stretched forth your right hand;" the right stands for chesed, kindness.
The pasuk "You stretched out Your right hand" also hints that they were thrown out of the sea onto dry land, and then the dry land threw them back into the sea because it didn't want to bury these evil people. What was the claim of the sea and dry land to not bury the Egyptians? Their claim was that just as the earth had to receive the blood of Hevel, after Kayin killed him, which looked like a cover up, which is why the Torah says the land shall be cursed, then all the more so, they claimed, if we bury all the Egyptians who died, the land will be cursed! They wouldn't bury the Egyptians until Hashem "stretched out His Right hand," which is a sign of an oath that he wouldn't curse them.
Hashem said to the sea: "You now have an obligation to perform your duty which is the kindness to bury the Egyptians." But why did the dry land not want to do its normal duty which is a moral Chesed? Because it had its justifications and Hashem had to assure the land under the sea that they weren't doing wrong by serving the wicked.
By Yaakov it says he 'took a bunch of stones to rest his head on,' and then it says he 'took one stone.' Chaza"l says all the stones wanted to be a pillow for Yaakov, so they became one.
The Mesilas Yesharim in the first chapter says there is a reason for all aspects of creation and the ultimate purpose of creation is to serve man, who is the purpose of creation.
The magnetism of rocks is to serve mankind. Can you imagine what a merit it is to have Yaakov Avinu lay on the rock? Not one rock had any more merit than the other rock, so they had, one might say, a magnetic spirituality to serve Yaakov!
This is a new definition of Chesed, because people think kindness is usually for people that deserve it. However Chaza"l say "The world with kindness was built." That does not mean Hashem created the world with acts of kindness, but rather the whole identity of creatures were implanted with kindness. Not just man was created with one of his attributes to do kindness, but the whole essence of man is kindness. It is part an parcel of his nature, as well as the nature of all creation. That is why the evil Egyptians had a right to be buried, because of the remark they made, that Hashem is the Righteous. This triggered kindness to bury them.
An example of kindness to the highest degree is Avraham Avinu. Immediately after circumcising himself, he welcomed and served 3 "Arab idol worshippers."
Doing a chesed for a close relative isn't a big deal; it is expected. But still Chaz"al say Hashem said to Avraham you can wear My Garments of Chesed only after he buried his wife because at that instant he showed he did kindness out of love more than any other time which generated even more kindness.
Every one of us has an obligation to emulate Hashem, which is why we should do chesed. A person should have feelings that you need to help another, this kindness comes immediately when you see an opportunity coming your way. One should not have the attitude that the other needs to be helped which comes when you see a friend giving you signs that he wants something done for him.
Acts of chesed are everywhere don't miss out on the opportunity!

Neighbours Day Aotearoa is a grassroots, community-driven social media campaign, which culminates with an annual celebration of neighbourliness in late March.
Whether you live in a suburb, an apartment, or rurally, you have neighbours – and every connection you have with them significantly improves the wellbeing of individuals, family/whanau and communities.
Neighbours Day encourages people to go one step further in getting to know their neighbours. This could be by inviting them over for a cup of tea, collecting contact details, having a street pot luck or BBQ, or sharing some baking, home-grown produce or a kind deed.
The MHF is a partner of the Neighbours Day Aotearoa development team, along with Lifewise, Neighbourhood Support and Inspiring Communities. The campaign is also supported by the Tindall Foundation.
We are currently working together to create a social movement of neighbourliness 365 days of the year. Neighbours Day Aotearoa 2019 will be on 22–31 March.
Waikato Place is more than just an address for Anne.
Jules Lawton was unprepared for her new neighbourhood when she moved back to the Waikato, after living in Auckland for 32 years.
One day while clearing a weed called blue morning glory with three others on Auckland's North Shore, Birkenhead Point resident Linda Tisch felt anything but glorious.
Born and raised in Dunedin, Yvonne McDonald moved to Christchurch 41 years ago with her husband's job transfer. The family eventually settled in Casebrook in 1991 and now Yvonne feels quite at home there.
It seems that Lilliput Library users in Outram, Dunedin do not approve of the hit book, Fifty Shades of Grey.

Does too much money impede innovation?
We all know that money is a vital lubricant of the innovation process, for so many reasons and at so many levels. Yet I can't help wondering if sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
What made me think about this was a recent announcement that Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University, a Cambridge, MA research center that focuses on the use of genomics in medicine, has received a $400 million endowment from founding benefactors Eli and Edythe Broad, bringing the couple's total gift donations alone to $600 million. That's a lot of money, and it's just the next in a long line of donations and grants that Harvard and its top tier siblings have received.
Not that they necessarily need it. Harvard's endowment is about $35 billion (that's "billion" as in "1000 million"), and neighbor and occasional rival MIT has an endowment around $20 billion. That's pretty serious money to have in the bank, and it doesn't include their assets (land, buildings, IP, and more). As I heard a wag explain it, if you landed on Earth from another planet, and looked objectively at Harvard and others in their league, you would conclude that these are really money-management institutions that also run schools as a sideline activity–and you'd be right.
But my concern is not about the ethics or fairness of top-tier institutions having so much money to play with, while always crying "please, give us more." After all, if people want to give their money to these institutions, hey, it's theirs to do with as they wish.
Instead, my concern is that too much available money leads to very big projects, and very big projects tend to have lots of vested interests, meetings, internal and external politics, bureaucracy, complex reporting structures, oversight committees, and all the other nasty characteristics that can stifle innovation, flexibility, risk-taking, and the other factors which we know are critical to innovation. Sure, it takes money to pursue ideas and projects, but sometimes too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.
I just finished reading a book about the initial conception, design, redesigns, decade-plus delays, and numerous problems of the now-lauded Hubble Space Telescope (HST), entitled "The Universe in a Mirror" by Robert Zimmerman. It's a complicated story, of course, but one message that comes through is that a project as big, ambitious, and expensive as the HST also was enmeshed in lots of bureaucracy and politics. Certainly, given the amount of money involved, there was a legitimate need for oversight and review.
But still, you have to wonder if innovation would not be better served by having more modest projects, buy more of them, along with more freedom. In "Bill and Dave: How Hewlett and Packard Built the World's Greatest Company" by Michael Malone, the lab at Stanford University (where they met and worked, along with their mentor Prof. Fredrick Ternan), did amazing work in those very early days of electronics despite a formal budget of a few hundred dollars, and whatever they could beg, borrow, or improvise. Lack of money was both an impediment and an inspiration.
If you look at most of the innovations in our industry, they have come from small-to-moderate efforts (many sponsored by very large companies, of course) who apparently understand that bigger research and dollars often yields inversely proportional results.

"Notes From Helen" is Helen Avakian's first solo guitar album, and it is named after her website blog. It is a collection of Helen's original guitar instrumentals and arrangements of some of her long time top favorite songs including "Icarus" by Ralph Towner, George Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue," Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)," Jay Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell," and The Beatles "In My Life." Helen was especially thrilled and honored to have guitar star, Pete Huttlinger, join her on his arrangement of the traditional Irish tune, Monaghan Jig.

Kelly Park netball courts
Page URL: https://www.wodonga.vic.gov.au/Our-Major-Projects/Completed-Projects/Kelly-Park-netball-courts
/ Our Major Projects / Completed Projects / Kelly Park netball courts
The regional netball facility at Kelly Park is used by Netball Wodonga for junior competitions and training as well as regional netball clubs that use the venue for training.
The deterioration of the surface of the courts as well as other compliance issues that exist at the venue has made it necessary to undertake upgrades. Works included in the whole project include the replacement of the court surface, upgrades to floodlighting and the provision of shelters and seating to support spectators and participants. An allocation was made in the 2017/18 council budget to address these issues.
Netball Wodonga are contributing $120,000 towards the project. Council engaged a specialist sporting design consultant - SportEng to prepare design plans and specifications for this project as a requirement from the funding partner.
The tender advertised in the Border Mail and via TenderSearch on Saturday, September 16, 2017, covered the remediation and replacement of the court surface within the existing footprint and will result in nine compliant courts at Kelly Park. Further tenders are to be issued to complete the upgrade of the floodlighting and provision of shelters and seating at the venue.
After all assessments, the panel considered that the tender submission from Excell Gray Bruni Pty Ltd provided the best value for money option for the council.
Excell Gray Bruni Pty Ltd have completed a number of civil construction projects recently for council to an acceptable standard, within expected timeframes and allocated budgets.
They have been assessed as having the capability to deliver this project within the required timeframes and quality of the finished project
Works complete
After the base works were complete, the asphalt surface was the finishing layer for the new courts.
This means that the reinstatement works could commence, which included laying instant turf, a concrete footpath, installation of the goal posts and linemarking.
The project was handed over to Wodonga Netball on March 23, 2018.
Drainage pits installed
Installation of drainage pits, spoon drains, grated drains and sub-soil drainage works completed.
Sub-base works complete
Since the commencement of construction, the old asphalt surface has been completely ripped off, we have removed asbestos drainage pipes from the site and completed subgrade replacement works.
Demolition commenced
Demolition of old asphalt surface has commenced.
The site is fenced out to restrict public access as we removed the old netball posts, shelters and trees.

Q: Add a custom text to Woocommerce product availability and display it for cart items I'm trying to find a way to place custom text before availability info (out of stock, in stock etc.) on woocommerce single product page.
I am using something like that:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability', 'change_product_availability_display' );
add_filter( 'unknown filter', 'change_product_availability_display' );
function change_product_availability_display( $availability ) {
    // Additional text
    $text = __('Availability:');
    // returning the text before the availability
    return $text . ' ' . $availability;
}

Its's based on: Add a custom text before the price display in WooCommerce.
In case of price filter named in my code "unknown filter" was woocommerce_cart_item_price. I've looked for this kind of filter for availability/stock item, but can't find it.
Maybe someone could review this code and help me to find this "unknown_filter" or have other idea how I can put custom text before availability info?

A: I have revisited your code as your are trying to merge a string with an array. Also I have added a 2nd hooked function that will allow to display your "labeled" availability to items in cart and checkout.
The code:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability', 'add_label_to_availability_display' );
function add_label_to_availability_display( $availability ) {
    if( is_product() || is_cart() || is_checkout() ){
        $label = __( 'Availability', 'woocommerce' ) . ': ';
        $availability['availability'] = $label . $availability['availability'];
    }
    return $availability;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', 'add_availability_below_cart_item_name', 10, 3);
function add_availability_below_cart_item_name( $item_name, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) {
    $availability = $cart_item['data']->get_availability();
    return $item_name . '<br>' . $availability['availability'];
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme).
Tested and works.
