Otto Ludwig Hölder (22 de diciembre de 1859 - 29 de agosto de 1937) fue un matemático nacido en Stuttgart, Alemania.

Es famoso por muchos teoremas entre los que se incluyen la desigualdad de Hölder, el teorema de Jordan-Hölder, el teorema que dice que todo grupo ordenado lineal que satisface una propiedad arquimediana es isomorfo a un subgrupo del grupo aditivo de los números reales, la clasificación de los grupos simples hasta orden 200, y el teorema de Hölder que implica que la función Gamma no satisface ninguna ecuación diferencial algebraica. Otro concepto importante relacionado con Hölder es la condición de Hölder que se emplea en muchas áreas del Análisis matemático, incluyendo la teoría de ecuaciones diferenciales en derivadas parciales y los espacios de funciones.

En 1877, ingresó en la Universidad de Berlín y se doctoró en la Universidad de Tubinga en 1882. El título de su tesis doctoral fue "Beiträge zur Potentialtheorie". Trabajó en la Universidad de Leipzig desde 1899 hasta su jubilación.

En 1933, Hölder firmó la Declaración de Profesores Alemanes en apoyo a Adolf Hitler.

Fare gates at busy stations use reversible lanes I previously only knew from bridges and busy roads. Photo: Marcin Wichary.
I fell in love with Japan's trains not just because of their ubiquity and punctuality — although that helped. Trains took me anywhere I wanted, and the most prominent warning on one of my tickets wasn't warning about delays but rather the possibility of arriving at my destination too early.
It was mostly the details, countless considerate touches that all added to a delightful experience: from fascinating ticket machines that offered a hook for my umbrella and whispered which train cars were the least busy, to retractable cup holders and reversible seats on bullet trains.
The pervasiveness of details also countered the notion that if you want to do something at scale, your only option is to paint with a really broad brush. Somehow, Japan's train network managed to see both the trees and the forest.
B. The tactile paving for the visually impaired originated in Japan. C. Door obstruction, manspreading, priority seating, and other train woes seem universal.
D. Subway straps: not only generous in quantity but also at different heights to accommodate people of all shapes and sizes. E. Smart progressive disclosure: since you're already looking down when entering the escalator, we might just as well share useful information.
F. Ample foot-level signage directs you to the right car even on regional trains. I thought did not deserve such amenities. G. A transit card can come personalized, and it features a notch that helps to distinguish it from other cards by touch.
H. Many train crossings not only use surprisingly gentle sounds, but also telll you from which direction to expect the next train.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
And now the text is the fourth verse: "God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" [1 Timothy 2:3-4].
That is a most unusual passage. In fact, I am beginning to see in these little letters that Paul has here and there some of the tremendous texts in the Bible. This next verse is one. We shall be preaching on that next Sunday morning: "There is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" [1 Timothy 2:5]. Then the text for tonight, the verse just above it: "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" [1 Timothy 2:4]. We shall discuss for just a moment that text as a whole, before we look at it minutely.
If God wills all men to be saved, why aren't they all saved? "God, who will have all men to be saved…" Evidently, the "will" there—"God who will have all men to be saved"—evidently, it is not a decree, or else the omnipotent hand of God would save everybody. But we know that everybody is not going to be saved. There is a hell where there are those in weeping and in darkness and in gnashing of teeth [Matthew 13:42]. If there are sheep on the right hand, there are goats on the left hand [Matthew 25:33-46]. If there is golden grain gathered into the garner, there are tares that are burned with unquenchable fire [Luke 3:17]. If there is a grain, wheat, that is carefully kept, there are husks and hulls and chaff that is blown away. Both of it is in this life, and both of it is in the Bible. If there is a glorious heaven, there is also a hideous and horrible hell.
All men are not going to be saved. Yet, it says here: "God wills that all men be saved" [1 Timothy 2:4]. Evidently, the force of that "will" does not carry a decree, an omnipotent edict and command. So when you look at that word in the Greek, thĕlei, thĕlei, it means "will." But there are several other meanings of it, shades of meaning. When you look at it in a lexicon, the first one will be "a wish, a preference, a delight." So if we could say what the text means: "God delights in the salvation of all men. He wishes the salvation of all men. He prefers the salvation of all men" [1 Timothy 2:4].
"As I live," said the Lord, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked would turn from his way and live; turn ye, for why will ye die?" [Ezekiel 33:11]. It is our wish that all men be saved. It is the wish of the church. It's the wish of every Christian that all men be saved. No right-thinking Christian would rejoice in the cries and the wails of the damned. But that still doesn't solve it. If God wishes all men to be saved, if He would delight in the salvation of all men, then again, why doesn't the omnipotent hand of God save all men?
Well, first an inscrutable mystery into which we cannot enter: the mystery of evil [2 Thessalonians 2:7]; evil was in this earth before the man was made. Evil was in this universe before God laid the foundations of the world [Ezekiel 28:15]. When Satan entered the garden of Eden [Genesis 3], where did Satan come from? He was there, and he was beyond, and he was before.
The mystery of evil, no man knows, least of all I. I cannot understand. I don't see. There is no man that liveth that understands or sees, and it is not revealed in the Word of God. We'll never know unless God chooses on the other side of the divide to explain to us the mystery of evil. Why, O God? Why didn't the Lord destroy Satan? Why didn't the Lord crush him in his first rebellion? [Ezekiel 28:15]. Why the repercussion of the tears and sobs of the centuries? Does the Lord delight that men be oppressed? Then why doesn't He free them? Does the Lord delight in the suffering of the sick? Then why does God allow disease? I do not understand. That's just one of the reasons why.
A second reason why: God made us morally free. I can curse God to His face. Now isn't that an unusual thing? And a lot of men do it! I can rebel against every edict, every decree, every commandment, every law of God. I can do it! And a lot of men do. The only thing of us is this, and it is here in the context of this text. Our part is in humility to plead, to intercede, to pray. "I exhort . . . that prayers, supplications, intercessions . . . be made for all men" [1 Timothy 2:1]. It is our lot and our part to pray, to plead, to exhort, to supplicate, to intercede, and the rest in the hands of God. When a man turns down the proper grace of Jesus, I don't understand it. I don't see it. But he has the liberty to do it, the freedom to choose. "We are to pray, to supplicate, to make intercession for all men" [1 Timothy 2:1]; and then, to my astonishment, he picks out one particular class, and he names them. "For kings, for all that are in authority … for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have all men to be saved" [1 Timothy 2:2-4].
Who is that king, in which, under whose reign—he writes here that we ought to pray and supplicate and intercede? Bless your heart. That king at that time when Paul wrote that letter and made the appeal was the bloodthirstiest monster that ever reigned in an empire. His name was Nero, and you name your dogs for him—to pray, to supplicate, to make intercession, even for Nero, under whom Paul himself was martyred, and who persecuted the first Christians. It is God's wish. It is God's will. It is God's preference. It is God's delight that all men be saved, and we are to pray for Nero, that God would save him. We're to supplicate, we're to make intercession for all men, that they may be saved [Matthew 9:38; Romans 10:1]. And I say, I cannot enter into the mystery of their choice of a final damnation. It is just a horrible thing to behold.
Now let us look at the text: "…God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" [1 Timothy 2:3-4]. Then we are saved by the knowledge of the truth. If a man will turn, if he will open his heart, if he will hear and see, if he will accept and believe, a man can be saved [Acts 16:30-31]—a man is saved by the knowledge of the truth! "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou has sent" [John 17:3]. We are saved by the knowledge of the truth.
One of the tremendous affirmations of the great evangelist and preacher Charles G. Finney is this; that it is the truth of God that convicts and that saves [John 3:16, 16:8-11]. That is the great, fundamental, basic thesis of everything that he did and of every volume that he wrote. The truth of God, the deliverance of the truth of God, the preaching of the truth of God—it's not the man; it's not his gestures, or his voice, or his eloquence, or his philosophy, or his perorations, or his oratorical flights, but it is the deliverance of the truth of God that convicts and saves the damned, the lost [1 Corinthians 2:4-7]. And then he illustrated that in one of his books that stayed in my mind, the illustration.
Then he uses that as an illustration of the fact that it is the truth of God that convicts and that saves! And I think Finney is right. Men are saved by the truth: "For I am the way, and the truth, and the life" [John 14:6]. "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" [John 1:17]. Men are lost because they are deluded. They believe a lie. Satan whispers in their ears things. He says things in their hearts. He is a liar and the father of it [John 8:44]. And he deludes and destroys because of his ableness to get men to be persuaded that what Satan says and what Satan whispers is the truth itself. But it's a lie, and men are destroyed by a lie. But the truth saves: for God, who would have all men to be saved, pleads with men to come unto the knowledge of the truth [1 Timothy 2:3-4].
Now this truth of God that saves is this: first, it is the truth that the Holy Spirit uses to quicken the soul, to make a man conscious of God, bring him under conviction of the Almighty [John 16:7-11]. Here is a man that goes along, and he's like an animal. He eats, he sleeps, and he gets hungry, and he pursues the pleasures and self pleasings of life. And he passes by the church, and he passes by religion, and he doesn't know any more about God and the will and the Word of God than an ox in a stall or an ostrich in the desert. He's just like an animal, lives like an animal—might as well be an animal—would die like an animal.
Then, there comes to that man, sometimes through a tract, sometimes on the radio, sometimes a friend brings him to the house of the Lord. Some way, in the devious influences and providence of God, there comes to that man a knowledge of the truth! And he reads in the Word of God, like Bunyan's Pilgrim; he reads in the Word of God: "He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name, in the only begotten Son of God" [John 3:18]. And he reads in the Book: "He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son hath not life; but the wrath of God, abideth upon him" [John 3:36]. And he reads in the Book: "It is appointed to men once to die, [but] after that the judgment!" [Hebrews 9:27]. And he faces death, and he faces eternity in unforgiven sins, and he is not prepared.
The truth of God reaches the heart and convicts the man, and he's quickened, he's awakened. What must I do to be saved? [Acts 16:30-31]. Like Bunyan's Pilgrim, and as he read, he wept. And he looked this way, and he looked that way, as if he would flee for his life, but he did not know where to turn or to what to escape.
Now the truth of God does a second thing: it delivers a man from the emptiness, and the futility, and the vanity of self-salvation, of good works. When the man is quickened and he says, "I must be saved, I'm under the judgment and wrath of God, I face death and hell. I must be saved!" And the man, in himself, immediately he turns to good works, he'll do it every time. "I will quit these grosser sins. I've been cursing and blaspheming. I will not blaspheme any longer. I have been violating all of the commandments of God. I will reform!" And then he marches down to somebody's church, and he says, "I want to receive the sacraments of the church." And he receives the ceremonies of the church. And then he sits down in a false peace. Then upon a day, he reads the truth of God! And the Lord God says in the Word, and it pierces his heart: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God!" [John 3:3] Then he reads: "Born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" [John 1:13]. Then he reads: "All of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags in His sight" [Isaiah 64:6]. Then he reads again: "For by the works of the law (by good deeds) shall no flesh be justified" [Galatians 2:16].
Here he is trying to save himself by being good; trying to save himself by the sacraments of the church. And it's like trying to reach the stars on a treadmill; it's trying to fill a bottomless tub with a leaking bucket. The truth has awakened the man to the emptiness and the futility of the works of righteousness: be baptized every day of your life and still be lost; receive all of so-called sacraments of the church and still be damned; go out here and try to do all of the things to make a man respectable and still be lost. You must be born again, regenerated [John 3:3, 7]. The truth leads the man to the revelation of God [1 Timothy 2:4].
And then that's the third thing the knowledge of the truth does to save all men, to come unto the knowledge of the truth: the truth under the inspiration and power of the Holy Spirit leads a man away from his reformations, away from his good works, away from his pride and boasting of the worth of his life and the deeds that he has done, and it leads him, a humble supplicant, to the atoning Christ [Titus 3:5]. And he bows at the foot of the cross, and he looks up into the face of Jesus. And all of his self-righteousness, all of the fig leaves by which he'd to seek to clothe himself, all the cobwebs of the church's so-called sacraments are brushed aside. And he's given a robe of righteousness, which the Book describes as being washed in the blood of the Lamb [Revelation 7:14]. And he's saved, he's saved by looking to Jesus [John 3:14-18], trusting in Jesus [Acts 16:31]. All glory and all honor to Jesus—it is something He did [Revelation 1:5-6]. I didn't—He did it!
His pride is wounded when you give him the simple way of salvation. You know, I was trying to think of that—how could I illustrate that? And this came to my heart. That's exactly what happened to Naaman [2 Kings 5:1-14]. Naaman was the captain of the hosts of the king of Syria. He was a great man and a mighty man, but he was a leper! [2 Kings 5:1]. And you know the story, how finally he came down to the prophet of God in Israel to be cleansed of his leprosy. And he came there, and I couldn't help but notice—you read—he came there with his horses and with his chariots to the door of the house of Elisha [2 Kings 5:9].
I can just see him—that whole retinue. Brother, the entire court of Damascus had arrived—and there Naaman, the great man, at their head. And he stood there in his human pride to be cleansed of his leprosy; standing there with his horses, and with his chariots, and with his retinue. And Elisha didn't even come out to see him. He was the most unimpressed man that ever lived. He didn't even look. He sent Gehazi his servant out there and said: "Tell him to go down to the muddy Jordan and dip seven times, and he will be clean" [2 Kings 5:10]. And when the servant Gahazi came out and said: "The prophet said go down to the Jordan, and dip seven times, and your flesh will come again, like unto the flesh of a little child," the Book says: "And Naaman was wroth!" [2 Kings 5:10-11]. And he said: "Why, I thought at least he would come out here and in a great dramatic gesture, put his hand on my flesh, invoke his God! Are not Abana and Pharpar, waters of Damascus, better than all waters of Israel? Can I wash in them, and be clean?" And he turned and went away in a rage, the Bible says [2 Kings 5:11-12].
While he was driving furiously back to Damascus in his wrath, his pride had been insulted—can't you see it? Now one of the servants who is riding with him in the chariot put his hand on him, and said: "My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great and mighty thing, wouldst thou not have done it? [2 Kings 5:13]. If the prophet had said to be saved conquer a continent, would ye have tried? How much rather then, when he says, Wash and be clean?" [2 Kings 5:13]. And Naaman turned around his chariot and went down to the muddy Jordan and dipped himself six times. And when he came up the seventh time, his flesh came again to him like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean [2 Kings 5:13-14].
That's the best illustration I know of how a man is to be saved. He likes to be saved dramatically, spectacularly. He worked it out with his own great intellectual prowess and endowment, when the Lord says, "Wash and be clean" [2 Kings 5:10-14; Revelation 7:14]; when the Lord says, "Look and live" [John 3:14-17; Numbers 21:8-9]; when the Lord says, "Trust and be saved" [Acts 16:30-31]; the knowledge of the truth [1 Timothy 2:3-4].
Now in this little moment may I describe that knowledge, what kind it is? It's, first of all, a believing knowledge; "God . . . Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" [1 Timothy 2:3-4]. It is a believing knowledge; that is, it is a knowledge that we accept. Every sentence here in the Scriptures about Jesus we believe; says over here in the Book, "He was born of a virgin" [Matthew 1:23-25]—we believe it! God His Father [John 1:18, 3:16]; incarnate in Bethlehem [Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1]; and then we turn the page, and we read the marvelous things of His life: how He could raise the dead [John 11:43-44], make the blind to see [Matthew 20:30-34]. And we believe it! And we read all of His words of hope and comfort: "I go to prepare a place for you, and I will be waiting, and someday, coming again, to receive you to Myself" [John 14:3]. And we look up in hope and in love and in expectancy [Titus 2:13].
And we read the Word: "And He was slain for our sins, and He was raised for our justification" [Romans 4:25], to declare us righteous before God. And we believe the Book! And He says, and we are to tell the good news that any man who will turn in trust can be saved" [Acts 16:31]. And we preach the gospel in persuasion and in faith [Romans 1:16]. And then it says, and someday He is coming for His own, and we will rise to meet the Lord [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17], and we believe it! That's the kind of a knowledge it is: it is a believing knowledge! [1 Timothy 2:3-4]. That is, we accept it.
What kind of a knowledge is that that saves us, this knowledge? It is a personal knowledge; that is, it applies to me; it applies to you. We read in the Book: and Jesus loved John, yes, He loved John. And He loved Simon Peter, and He loved Paul. That's right! And Jesus died for John, and He died for Simon Peter, and He died for Paul, and that's right. But this kind of knowledge that I'm preaching about tonight, the knowledge that saves is this kind of a knowledge, "And He died for me! And He loves me!" [Galatians 2:20].
He knew me before the foundation of the world was laid [Ephesians 1:4]. And He had me in mind when He died. And He called my name when He made intercession at the throne of grace [Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25]. And He remembers me—think of that: in this atom of stardust, out of all the millions of the earth, and He calls you by name [John 10:3]. He knows all about you.
And every lack in my life and every sin in my soul, He has washed [1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5], He has made atonement for [Romans 5:11]; He did it for me! And had you never sinned and you were perfect—and nobody else had sinned, everybody perfect; I was the only lost sinner in the world, yet He died for me [1 Corinthians 15:3]. A personal knowledge—and He knows me; and He listens to me; and His eyes are toward me—a personal knowledge [1 Timothy 2:3-4].
And then the last: it is an "operational" knowledge. I struggle to get a better word, but I couldn't think of it. I mean by that, it is a moving knowledge; it is a knowledge that activates. Like I was going down the highway, driving down the highway, and I read the sign: "The bridge is out." And I detour to the side. And when I detour to the side, I come to the place where the bridge, and I look up there—that great bridge—and all the center of it gone. Well, had I continued on that highway, driven up there on that bridge, and that great fall into the river below, my life would have been lost!
This is an activating knowledge, an operational knowledge; it's a moving knowledge. God says: "Down that road, that road, that road leads to the abyss! It leads to night; it leads to hell; it leads to damnation—don't go down that road!" Well, then I have a choice. I don't believe it—so I go on in my dereliction, my stubbornness, my refusal to accept the Lord and His appeal—to listen to His word. I go on! Or, I can believe it. The Lord says: "This road leads to hell; this road leads to damnation; this road leads to death, and tonight, don't go down that road. Take this road that leads to life and glory and heaven." And if I believe it, then I turn, and I'm on the glory road. Bless His name—it's a knowledge that moves the heart [1 Timothy 2:3-4].
Does it speak to you? Do you feel the appeal of the Holy Spirit in your soul? Oh, the pleadings of the Lord: "Incline thy ear unto Me . . . hear, and your soul shall live" [Isaiah 55:3]. Not hearing for hearing's sake, not knowing for knowing's sake—but hearing and knowing to be saved; the knowledge of the truth that moves the heart and saves the soul. And the woman who lost a coin, took a light, lighted a candle and swept the floor. Not a candle just for the candle's sake; not sweeping the floor for sweeping's sake—but to find the coin! [Luke 15:8-10]. That kind of a knowledge: the one that reaches out—"Lord, Lord, how is it that a man can be saved? I want to be saved. Lord, what is it that delivers from hell? I want to be saved. What is it Lord that writes a man's name in the Book of Life? [Revelation 20:12, 15, 21:27]. I want to be saved!" To reach out for it, and there it is: "God . . . who will have all men to be saved, and to come into the knowledge of the truth" [1 Timothy 2:3-4]. This is salvation; the acceptance in the heart of the truth of the witness of the Holy Spirit of God [John 16:7-11]. Look, there He is; "The way, and the truth, and the life" [John 14:6]. "For the law was given by Moses," and nobody could keep it and be saved; "but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" [John 1:17], and anybody can look and live [John 3:14-17]. Would you? In humble faith and in simple trust, just like an unlettered man, human pride of knowledge, metaphysical predilections all brushed away, they perish with the dying world—I am looking to Jesus [Hebrews 12:2]. This life of mine, which is fading and dying, I'm exchanging for a life that shall live forever [John 3:14-17, 10:27-28]. "Jesus, my Savior, I come!" Would you? Tonight? "I make it now." Down these stairwells, would you come? "Here I am, pastor, here I come." A family of you, or one somebody you, I can't make that appeal. If I do it, it is dust; it is ashes; it is breath; it is sound and sentence; it is syllable and word—it is nothing! But if the Spirit of God makes the appeal—"would you come? Would you come?" Drawn by the Holy Spirit of God, "I make it now, here I am, here I come." Taking Lord as Savior, or putting your life in the church, or dedicating your life to Jesus, as the Spirit shall lead the way and open the door, one somebody you, a family you—however the Lord shall say it—you, would you come, while we stand and while we sing?

In December I bought a used vertical file cabinet at a thrift store for ten dollars. What a find! It was literally an answer to a prayer (the filing cabinets we looked at other places were $75 and up).
The bottom of the drawers were lined with Chicago Tribune newspapers from 1997 (rather fitting seeing that it was from the Tribune that I got laid off). It was interesting reading the sports section when the Cubs were the 2nd to worst team in baseball.
Then in the last drawer in the bottom, I pulled out the newspaper and found a scrap of paper in the very back. I thought maybe it was a cut-out from the paper. What could it be?
As I took the paper out and unfolded it, it was a… ONE THOUSAND LIRA BILL. Wow! Was someone planting a little secret for this thrift store filing cabinet?
My internet was down at home, so I called several friends to see how much this is worth. But nobody was picking up. I looked over the bill and it had an image of M. Montesorri on it. Rather fitting because my mother was a montessori school teacher and my brother, sister, and I attended a montessori preschool.
My girlfriend called me back and she looked up how much this 1,000 Lire bill was worth. Could this be a nice surprise? Well, it was. But not the kind of surprise I was expecting.
Which actually was a nice surprise–a surprise lesson about the value of money. Even though we may value money highly, it really ends up being worth not that much. There's other things in life that are more valuable than currency which eventually loses all its worth.
Hey, Matt. Had you already posted about being laid off from Tribune Co., and had I just missed it? In any case, so sorry to hear about that. You're a talented guy, and I'm sure somebody else will pick you up, if they haven't already.
:)) and I found this one lying in the balcony , soaked with watter , and I dried it !!! oh as though it worthed dryind ! but I never thought it would worth more than 10 dollars , knowing italy ,but for 3 mill , how did you ever taken in that story ,Andy?
hey!! my aunt gave it to me and said it was worth 7 mill. in us so wat ill get somethin more valueble from italy after all im from italy!
dang i thought i was going 2 b high baller i dont think so 47cents?
I found 151,000 lire in my basement, does anyone know how much would that worth ( 100,000 note + 5,000 note and 1,000 note as the image shown above) thanks.
My 1,000 Lire bill has gained value! in 2006 it was worth 47 cents. Now it's worth 70 cents! http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=1000&From=ITL&To=USD&x=55&y=11 Daniel, to answer your question of how much your 151,000 Lire is worth… it's $105.50 in American dollars.

About Bill Duke
See how Bill Duke is related to other HistoryMakers
Film director and actor Bill Duke was born William Henry Hudson Duke, Jr. on February 26, 1943 in Poughkeepsie, New York to Ethel Louise and William Henry Hudson Duke, Sr. Duke earned his A.A. degree from Dutchess Community College before attending Boston University, where he originally enrolled as a pre-med student, but earned his B.A. degree in theatre. He received his M.A. degree in fine arts from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Duke later attended the American Film Institute.
Duke began his career as an actor in New York City with the Negro Ensemble Company, performing in plays such as LeRoi Jones' Slave Ship and Melvin Van Peebles' musical Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death. Duke's first movie role was in 1976 when he portrayed a young Black Muslim revolutionary named Abdullah Mohammed Akbar in Car Wash. Duke then held the recurring role of Luther Freeman in the series Palmerstown, U.S.A. before his directorial debut in 1982, directing episodes of Knot's Landing, Falcon Crest, and Flamingo Road. Some of Duke's most prominent work was his direction of teleplays for the PBS series American Playhouse including "The Killing Floor," which was chosen for Critic's Week at the Cannes Film Festival in 1985, "A Raisin in the Sun," which received an Emmy nomination, and "The Meeting." During the 1980s, Duke amassed more than 100 television directing credits, including more than seventy episodes of roughly twenty television series such as Miami Vice, Dallas, Crime Story, Cagney and Lacey and Hill Street Blues. Duke directed his first feature film in 1990, a film adaptation of Chester Himes' novel A Rage in Harlem. He went on to direct many other films including Deep Cover, Sister Act 2, Hoodlum, Deacons for Defense, and Prince Among Slaves. Duke was also featured in numerous television series, including in Fastlane, Karen Sisco, and Black Lightning, as well as in films like Predator, Menace II Society, Get Rich or Die Tryin', and High Flying Bird. In 1993, he co-authored Black Light: The African American Hero with Paul Carter Harrison and Danny Glover; and, in 1996, he published The Journey: A Tale of Human Healing. Duke published his memoir in 2018.
In 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Duke to the California Film Commission. Duke also worked with non-profit and charity organizations such as Educating Young Minds, and has taught at several universities including Howard University and New York University School of Arts. In 2008, he founded the Duke Media Foundation, aimed at teaching new media skills to youth.
Duke is the recipient of numerous awards including the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award, the NAACP's Special Award for Outstanding Achievement, SCLC's Drum Major for Justice Film Award, and a Cable Ace Award. President Bill Clinton also appointed Duke to the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Duke was interviewed by The HistoryMakers on September 19, 2008 and November 20, 2019.

Fig trees can be left alone to grow naturally or trained to grow as a large shrub or mid-size trees of various shapes. There are specific techniques fig tree farmers might use when pruning trees, however, the guidelines below are intended for home gardeners.
It is not absolutely necessary to prune a fig tree. However, you can prune young fig trees during the first couple of years in a manner that will produce new "fruiting wood," resulting in heavier yields of fruit the following season. Figs are produced each active growth season on "old wood" (branches produced the previous season). So, to produce more fruit in future seasons you need to produce more branches.
If you choose to prune, the first time you should do so is in the first dormant season after having planted your tree. Wait until late winter to prune, but before new growth begins to emerge in early spring.
During the first pruning, you can use a pair of sharp hand pruners to prune your fig back by up to half it's size. Doing so will help to stimulate root growth, which helps your fig to more quickly established itself underground. Above ground, this will also stimulate growth of new branches making your tree bushier.
In the next late winter, select 4 to 6 of the strongest branches growing from the main trunk(s) to be your fruiting wood / main branches and prune away the rest. As mentioned, leave the 4 to 6 strongest ones, but be sure to stagger them around the trunk. Start pruning by removing any branches that are not growing out from your selected 4 to 6 main branches as well as any dead or diseased wood. If there are suckers growing from the base of the tree, these should be removed as well by cutting them off at their base.
Next, remove any secondary branches (shoots growing off the main branches) that are growing at less than a 45 degree angle from the main branches. This step in pruning fig trees will remove any branches that may eventually grow too close to the main trunk and will not produce the best fruit. When all secondary branches have been removed, cut back the 4 to 6 main branches by 1/3 to 1/4 their length. This helps the tree, while it's still young, to put more energy towards the fruit that will be produced next year, which makes for larger and sweeter fruit.
Established figs are pruned very little and are productive with our without heavy pruning. Heavy pruning, as described above, should be done only during the first couple years. That being said, you can do some light thinning to remove any weak, diseased or dead limbs or stems. If radical pruning is done to control the size or to rejuvenate an old tree, whitewash the entire tree.
TIP: When pruning a fig tree, always keep in mind that if you cut back too much you will not have fruit that year or maybe even the next. Take your time and don't over prune. This being said, over pruning will very rarely harm a fig tree.
Where winters are mild, you can train your figs to grow as a tree. To develop a single or multi-trunk tree, the process must be started when the tree is very young. Choose 1 to 3 trunks you would like to keep and remove the rest, cutting them off as low as possible. Then carefully select and remove horizontally-growing lower branches that won't effect the canopy of the tree. As your fig tree grows, remove lower branches as needed to maintain a desired height and form. To keep your fig in tree form, it may be necessary in following years to remove suckers that grow from the base or secondary branches that grow downward.
Espalier is a technique for growing plants against a flat, vertical surface, such as a wall of a home or other building. Among the benefits is an abundance of fruit in a relatively small space. Figs are particular good for espalier because they have flexible branches when young, and they produce fruit when very young.
You have many formal shapes in which you can grow the fig tree as espalier: candelabrum, double U-shape, fan shape. But a simple stack of three horizontal tiers emanating from the tree's base is simple enough.
Though you certainly could build your own support structure, first-timers might simply want to buy a strong trellis with a nice design and horizontal bars. Install your trellis against a wall. Alternatively, you could attach coated wires to the wall to attach branches to.
Plant your fig in the middle of the trellis and allow it to grow.
As new branches emerge, gently bend them to the shape of your choosing and loosely tie them to the bars of your trellis using plastic tie tape available at your local nursery and garden center.
In the fall when the leaves fall off, remove any weak and crowded branches or stems. You want there to be some space between the branches you keep, unless you want a solid form.
During each dormant season thereafter, continue to cut back the overgrown portions. and the top or sides of the tree to a desired shape and size.

Actor Suriya's upcoming Tamil production "Haiku", a children's drama, has been renamed "Pasanga 2".
"It was a decision taken keeping in mind the request of distributors. Also, 'Haiku' is not a recognised Tamil word and this would mean no tax exemption. Hence, we decided to change the title to 'Pasanga 2'," the film's director Pandiraj, told.
He also clarified that the film is not a sequel to his National Award winning Tamil children's drama "Pasanga".
Starring Suriya and Amala Paul in cameos, the film is said to address the theme of attention deficit disorder (ADD) among children.

November seems to be the "official month of writing" with so many people participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Today's Guest Blogger is Lisa Rowe Fraustino. Her newest book - The Hole In The Wall - was recently released earlier this month. Lisa has been on a blog tour sharing about her new book, answering questions, and doing guest posts. Today, she shares with us how to get in touch with our inner canine as we write.
Way back in 1992 a book came out that helped me learn to write like a dog, Clarissa Pinkola Estes's Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype. It comes down to this: Healthy women share certain characteristics with healthy canines.
If I didn't write like a dog, The Hole in the Wall would never have received the Milkweed Prize for Children's Literature. In fact, none of my eight books would be published. I'd have quit after the first few rejections of my "quirky" characters and "weird" storylines. If by some miracle I made it past early rejections to publication, the first nasty review I got would have caused me to quit writing and take up something safer, like skydiving.
Embracing your inner…hm…let's call it "female dog" allows you to unleash your creativity and have the confidence to express your idiosyncracies, your uniqueness, your truest self—even though the rest of the world may look upon your creations with the scorn of a cat who has been fed the store brand, dry.
Your inner canine is the part of you that says, "I don't care what anyone else says. I have something to say and I'm going to say it." Like the dog who keeps standing at the window barking even though people keep telling her to lie down and be quiet, you keep on writing joyfully despite rejections slips and bad reviews.
Writers who nurture their inner canines don't get blocked for long. Why? Because blocks derive from fears—fears of being laughed at, of being criticized, of being wrong. No offense to cat lovers—I enjoy cats too. Have four of them, in fact. But there's a big difference between doggy and catty when it comes to self-expression and interpersonal dynamics.
The dog instinctively protects her territory and is incapable of spite. The cat…well. You know. She likes to play head games. Especially with her food.
Dogs aren't self-conscious. They don't worry about whether they're doing something right or whether they will be loved. They go about their business cheerfully sniffing butts and marking bushes and licking themselves no matter how many times prissy humans scold them. And they chase off cats who nip at their confidence.
By all means love your cat— but write like a dog.
1.Think of a time when others told you to stop singing, dancing, or otherwise expressing yourself because you were embarrassing them. Write the experience into your next story or chapter.
2. Do something you've always wanted to do but never dared because of the reactions of other people—like, cut your hair really short, or paint your front door purple.
3. You know that incredible family story that you've been waiting to work on someday…after a lot of funerals? Sit down and write it: now. Heavily fictionalize it if you're still too timid to go for the memoir.
4. Think of something you've done of which you carry a deep sense of secret shame. Let it out of your body. Write it down. Burn the pages in your spaghetti pot, then rewrite the story as fiction.
5. Go out and howl at the next full moon.

Q: symfony2 form validation and constraint I just created a form that have to "catch" data for transfer them to a "User Object" and persist it to DB.
In order, for do that, i follow those steps:

*

*Create a User Object

*Create a UserRepository for make it persistent and fetch it (throught Entity Manager)

*Create a class that "map" the form

*Create a route and a template for render the whole thing

So step over the first two of those and let's see together the third step
<?php
namespace Sestante\UserBundle\Form\Type;

use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Email;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\MinLength;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Collection;

class AddUserType extends AbstractType
{
    public function BuildForm(FormBuilder $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder->add('username','text')
                ->add('email','email')
                ->add('id','hidden')
                ->add('password','text')
                ;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'AddUser';
    }

This is part of the class that i've created for "form handle".
Obviously i want to add some kind of validation to my form, and following symfony2 book i've done this
public function getDefaultOptions(array $options)
{
    $collectionConstraint = new Collection(array(
        'username'=> new MinLength(4),
        'email'=>new Email(array('message'=>'invalid email address')),
    ));

    return array(
        'data_class' => 'Sestante\UserBundle\Entity\User',
        'validation_constraint' => $collectionConstraint
    );
}

As far i understood, constraints will be checked on the $form->bindRequest(...) or ->bind(...) calls.
So, into my controller, i've done this
public function insertAction(Request $request)
{
   if($request->getMethod() == 'POST'){
       $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
       $user = $em->getRepository('SestanteUserBundle:User');
       $userObj = new User();
       $userObj->setSalt('prova');
       $parameters = $request->request->get('AddUser');
       $parameters['password'] = sha1($parameters['password']);
       $userObj->setGroups($em->getRepository('SestanteUserBundle:Groups')->find(3));
       $form = $this->createForm(new AddUserType(), $userObj);
       $logger = $this->get('logger');
       $logger->info('PROVA: '.gettype($parameters));
       $form->bind($parameters); /* al posto che fare un bind della form, faccio un bind normale con i parametri presi dalla post e modificati
                                 vedi la password che deve subire uno sha1 */
       $em->persist($userObj);
       $em->flush();
       return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('SestanteUserBundle_homepage'));
   }

But as i submit the form, i'll have to struggle with this error

Expected argument of type array or Traversable and ArrayAccess, object
  given

The strangest thing is that the only two object involved in this operation (bind argument and constraint collections) are of requested type.
So i don't know how to overtake this.
Any idea?

A: Try with something like this:
public function insertAction(Request $request)
{
    // First: Create you're object with only what you need
    $userObj = new User();

    // Then, build you're form
    $form = $this->createForm(new AddUserType(), $userObj);

    // Form submitted?
    if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
        $request = $this->getRequest();
        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();

        // Bind $request now !
        $form->bindRequest($request);

        // Your object is updated (not saved, ofc). You can now do what you want.
        $userObj->setPassword(sha1($user->getPassword());
        $userObj->setGroups($em->getRepository('SestanteUserBundle:Groups')->find(3));

        // Finish, save user
        $em->persist($userObj);
        $em->flush();

        return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('SestanteUserBundle_homepage'));
    }
}

Some other things:

*

*you don't need to put the id field in your form.

*you should probably take a look at the sf2 security. It's not a good idea to manually encode
password in a controller.

Edit:
You got this Exception because you can't use the validation_constraint option in a form which deal with an object.
This option can only be used with an array of data.

If you are any kind of position to lend other entities supplies, then it is likely that you might maintain tools like loan agreement templates. Of course, there are other tools you might want to use a loan policy. This could make it all the easier for you to be more consistent, particularly with giving potential borrowers general procedures and guidelines for requesting loans from you.
Naturally, these would also make it easier for borrowers to use their own tools like sample student loan promissory notes since the procedures could give them guides on how to proceed. But if you were to use your own loan policies, it would help to have a clearer idea as to how to make them, which would require some more insights into what these policies can do and how that can affect how you use them.
What items can be covered by loan policies?
One thing that could help you gain a better understanding of loan policies is knowing what could be covered by loan policies. The concept can actually be more general than it sounds since it would take up more than one might expect. With that in mind, it would be to your advantage to know in what areas you can apply your policies to make the most of them for yourself.
The most obvious use of loan policies would be to enable loans of funds, which might well be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, many examples of loan contract templates generally have funds in mind, to say nothing of the many institutions that can possibly loan money to potential borrowers. Of course, there can be more to lending money than the obvious causes like lending money to businesses and investments. It would be possible to lend funds for research or education as in the case of student loans, which add more dimensions to the idea of lending funds. There can also be emergency loan policies that can make it easier for members of a given organization to borrow money on short notice when borrowing from other sources would take too long.
In the case of schools and libraries, it would be possible to lend out other resources related to their work such as books. This could make it easier for such institutions to share information and sources, particularly if the sources in question are either hard to find or are more specific to certain locations as might be the case with research papers and theses. In fact, some of these institutions maintain inter-library lending policies to arrange to lend their sources into a more organized system. Like any other loan policy, these systems can also make use of other elements like loan receipt templates in order to make the loans official while also making it easier to keep track of whatever they lend.
It would also be possible for you to maintain loan policies for equipment, as might be the case with laboratory equipment or other technical equipment. This differs from a dedicated rental business in that there are likely to be more restrictions in your loan policy for equipment such as permitting only registered members of your organization, which can include students, employees, and so on. In conjunction with your policy, you might need to make use of sample loan rejection letters if you ever find a reason to deny any application. After all, your equipment is valuable, and you would want to be strict about whom you allow to use them. Your policy should be in place precisely to ensure that your borrowers use the equipment responsibly, which would be why you need to be selective when it comes to borrowers.
Another kind of loan closely related to research would be for research samples. This can be made possible if you have some kind of agreement with other institutes that would allow you to cooperate closely with one another for a study. Much like a policy for lending books and equipment, this can help facilitate greater learning and an exchange of ideas between institutions. This means that your policy can make use of loan agreement templates in order to make sure that you can keep extra tabs on any research samples you might lend out. This would be particularly important for you in order to make sure that your samples are not lost, which could be disastrous for you and your work.
It would also help you to know exactly what functions loan policies can have, the better to apply them to your own. This would help you make sure that you actually use your loan policies to the fullest since you should have a greater awareness of what they can do for you. After all, keeping these insights in mind can make sure that you catch everything you need to in order to make your own loan policies properly.
The most basic function of any policy, let alone a loan policy, is to list the necessary procedures involved. For a loan policy, this means that you would need to include whatever procedures would be necessary to facilitate loans, such as how to apply, what might be required, and so on. This can be coordinated with any sample loan application templates you might have to make the task of applying for loans all the easier for your applicants. After all, your policy can serve as a guide for helping them through the process, which might be difficult for people to carry out. Having the guide also helps both you and your applicants prepare things ahead of time, making the process of application flow more smoothly on both sides.
One aspect of loans is the fact that they are naturally temporary and what is loaned is expected to be returned, which would make it possible for you to use loan payment schedule templates. While this is most obvious in the case of equipment, it is still to be expected that one would return what is borrowed, including money. As such, your policy can and should be sure to list the duration of loans so as to inform potential borrowers of how much time they have before they need to return what they borrowed. This also serves to let borrowers know how best to use their time in order to properly return whatever they happen to have borrowed from you. However, in the event that the borrower needs to extend the loan, your policy can also include mechanisms to extend the loan to keep them able to use the borrowed resources without incurring any penalties.
Being that a borrower does not own what they borrow, they would be expected to take great care of the loaned items. With that in mind, you would need to include the responsibilities of your borrowers in your policy to keep them aware of what they need to do regarding the care of what you loan them. This would allow you to make sure that your borrowers understand all the details of properly taking care of what is loaned, particularly if those items have some specific needs for them to be cared for properly. Your policy can do this precisely to give your borrowers an idea of what would be necessary to care for the items, as well as an implicit warning concerning all that would be implied by their taking the items into their care.
Like any other policy, your loan policy needs to include any sanctions for violating the policy in any way. This can include such things as failing to take care of what you loan them, as well as failure to return the items on time. Your policy should include sanctions to serve as a guide for what to do and how to act in the event that borrowers should violate your policy. It is important that your sanctions be proportionate to the violation, so having a system makes it possible for you to act consistently and appropriately for any such violation. You can also use this is a warning to your borrowers to be sure that they act responsibly.
It is to be expected that not everyone who applies for a loan is necessarily accepted. Your policy can make sure to impose standards on those who apply for a loan, which can go some way toward helping you screen applicants to get the most trustworthy ones. This can be seen in applications to money loans, as applicants would need to provide collateral, or else some other way of proving that they can make good on a loan. In your case, you might also restrict application only to members of your organization as they would be accountable to you, to say nothing of your ability to keep tabs on them more directly. You can use loan rejection letters to deny applications you think are less than trustworthy.
With the help of a policy, you should have a much easier time making use of other tools like sample loan application letters. By now, you ought to have a better idea of how such tools work, which should make your work considerably easier since you would know to make the most of your own policy.

The Afghanistan Economy: Changes in Two Decades
Two decades ago, when the Taliban lost control of Afghanistan, the country started to develop slightly. Living conditions, such as education, healthcare have improved notably. However, violence and systemic corruption slowed the speed of progress. The reduction of aid and troops in recent years decreased one of its most significant sources of revenue.
Ajmal Ahmady, Afghanistan's former central bank governor, fled after the Islamist group returned to power last weekend. Senior research fellow at think-tank Chatham House, Dr. Gareth Price, said that Afghanistan changed and grew in social terms. At the same time, none of the leading domestic growth generators such as mineral reserves developed except illegal mining.
Overview of the economy
The economy somehow grew. However, the country is now struggling with the stagnation of basic living standards profited from an economic expansion up to 2010.
According to the World Bank, aid flows dropped from about 100 percent of GDP between 2009 and 2020, restraining services sector employment and activity. International money might also disappear entirely under the Taliban, endangering the survival of the country's economy.
Asian economist at Capital Economics, Gareth Leather, talked about some negative possibilities in terms of the economy in the country. He said that the economic progress in the last 20 years was mainly related to external support. Therefore, the current situation will dramatically affect Afghanistan's economy. He added that a significant reduction in GDP appears to be certain.
Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies said that cutting off aid would potentially disable a large part of the economy and services jobs.
According to the International Trade Center, Afghanistan legally exported just around $1bn of goods last year. Half of its legal exports are formed of grapes and other fresh fruit. However, after the service sector expanded, the importance of agriculture started to decline.

The Gloria Steinem Equality Fund to End Sex Trafficking, the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW), SPACE International and The Sisterhood is Global Institute have written this letter to express the global support for Parliamentary efforts in Germany to adopt the Equality Model. Associazione IROKO has signed the letter and we give our full support to efforts in Germany and around the world to recognise that "prostitution is not work but rather a very harmful and dehumanising system, which fuels the sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of women and girls".
Liliam Altuntas, survivor of trafficking and prostitution, told IROKO "reading this letter has really made me happy, especially because Germany is a country that's very close to my heart. Because when I was trafficked, I was sold and brought to Germany. Hearing that there are people who support and make way for this kind of legal change is really important to me. It would represent a real response to the suffering that we have endured, so I'm very happy to join this fight and I'm sure that we will win."
We encourage our friends and supporters to read and sign the letter.

Prostitution: a job like any other?
Tagged great leveller, human rights, human trafficking, Italian law, Luciana Tavernini, marx, most beautiful island, Paid for, prostitution, Rachel Moran, sex industry, sex work, valentina Pazé, violence
This is an article written by Valentina Pazé, a professor in political philosophy at the University of Turin, and translated by Ruby Till for Associazione Iroko. It was originally published on 26-05-2020 in Volere La Luna. You can find the original Italian version here.
The sex industry is among the sectors of the economy that have been hit hardest by the recent lockdown. Shendi Veli reminded us of this in her article on 12th March in Il Manifesto, talking about the fact that so-called sex workers had been abandoned during this pandemic. She presented the classic demands made by proponents of "decriminalisation": from the recognition of prostitution as a legitimate form of work, to the legalisation of practices linked to prostitution, its aiding and abetting (favoreggiamento), currently illegal in Italy, and even at times cited in cases against those who rent houses to women in prostitution or live with them (according to an incorrect interpretation of the Merlin Law, criticised by Silvia Niccolai in Né sesso né lavoro. Politiche sulla prostituzione, Milano 2019, pp. 70-117).
In her contribution to 27esima ora on 22nd May, Luciana Tavernini showed us the other side of the coin: "Calling prostitution work is a way to convince people that everything, even going as far as access to internal parts of the body, can and should be sold, and at best we can fight to increase the price. This is an old trick that aims to hide exploitation by disguising it as work." And so, rather than supporting the legalisation of those who profit from the prostitution of others, we should look to the section of the Merlin Law that provides for training and work placements for women who wish to change their lives. Who wish to get out of a 'business' that the overwhelming majority of them have ended up in out of necessity, and in some cases even force and duress (victims of trafficking), certainly not out of choice.
Nefarious: Merchant of Souls Documentary on Human Trafficking
Tagged abolitionist model, Cambodia, exodus cry, human rights, human trafficking, lauran bethell, Melissa Farley, Nigeria, nordic model, prostitution, sex work, slavery, Sweden, Thailand, trafficking, trauma, violence, women
This documentary is a particularly challenging watch, but it's a necessary one. Try not to fall into the trap of dismissing the phenomenon of trafficking as something that happens 'somewhere else', but recognise the clear theme among all women trafficked and prostituted around the world: women and girls don't choose prostitution. Prostitution chooses them. As Lauran Bethell puts it, "trafficking is the exploitation of vulnerability", something which is ever-present in prostitution, whether on the streets of Bangkok, in a posh hotel room in Las Vegas, or in a brothel in Amsterdam.
"Even the people who promote prostitution will put out helpful fact sheets on how to avoid getting killed. They don't say it exactly that way, but they put out a fact sheet that says:
-When you go into a hotel room when you're servicing a john, drop something on the floor and kick it under the bed, so you can look under the bed to see if there's a gun or handcuffs there
-Don't wear a scarf because that can be used to strangle you
-Don't wear super high heels to an escort out-call because you can't run fast enough
This is information coming from people that are promoting prostitution as a good job."
Can you think of any job or profession where these kinds of tactics are necessary to avoid physical violence and even death?
Why does prostitution continue, even thrive, in our modern 'enlightened' societies where we claim to protect human rights above all else? Money. It's as simple as that. By legalising, or even just turning a blind eye, to prostitution, we are not protecting a woman's right to choose what she does with her body. We are protecting a man's right to buy a woman. And as long as there are men willing and able to pay money for women and girls, there will be organised crime networks trafficking and selling them.
That leads us to the solution. Block the business model. By criminalising both the pimps and the everyday buyers in prostitution, while offering support and exit services to the prostituted women, the abolitionist model essentially creates a very, very bad business environment for pimps and johns. Traffickers and pimps see Sweden, where this model is implemented, as a bad market. It also has a social implication in the way that people view and value women, creating "an atmosphere of safety, an atmosphere of dignity in the country."
Sweden has the lowest rate of trafficking in the European Union.
IF YOU WANT TO STOP TRAFFICKING YOU MUST STOP PROSTITUTION
Brussels' Call: Celebrating 5 years since the Honeyball Resolution!
Tagged brussels call, CAP International, european women's lobby, honeyball resolution, human rights, nordic model, prostitution, sex industry, sex work, trafficking
Those of us who work or have worked in the third sector, among victims of violence and their oppressors, will understand the highs and lows that come with the experience. When we come into daily contact with the injustices our society continues to permit – all too often disproportionately against women – the lows are inevitable.That is why we have to embrace the highs! For our colleague, Ruby, the opportunity to attend the Brussels' Call Conference on 16th October was one such occasion. There is something extremely moving and powerful about being in a room full of feminists and abolitionists, about being surrounded by successful, determined and compassionate women, of all ages and from all walks of life.
The conference, part of the Brussels' Call campaign for a Europe free from prostitution, was held at the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the EP's 'Resolution on sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality' (also known as the Honeyball resolution), which represented a turning point in the fight against the sex industry and its inherent violence. This resolution was the recognition that prostitution is a form of violence against women and called for measures to end the demand for sexual exploitation. The conference explored the reality of prostitution across Europe and included contributions from some of those most directly affected and those still fighting for change.
Sign the Manifesto 'My Body, My Rights!'
Tagged abortion, human rights, manifesto
343 women from 28 countries throughout Europe decided to stand up together for women's rights in the European Union and throughout the world. Feminist activists, politicians, or simple citizens, they launch today a common manifesto, paying tribute to the Manifesto 343 which was released in France in 1971. With this call, they refuse to give up while confronting regressive policies in the continent, they refuse inequalities between European women, they call for extension of the right to safe and legal abortion in the EU.
The right to a safe and legal abortion has been fought for and ultimately obtained in many European countries, yet some women still do not have the choice over their own bodies. The rise of nationalism and conservatism in the European Union has put this right under threat, and we are increasingly seeing steps being taken to erode it throughout the region. This is unacceptable. This right is neither a whim, nor an option, but a necessity for a Europe of freedom, equality and democracy.
The right to a safe and legal abortion should be universal. It should be available for any woman. If the European Union claims to defend human rights, it should be willing to enforce this right throughout the EU and to promote it throughout the world.
We know that in some countries taking a stand and defending this right is difficult, that sometimes even freedom of expression is threatened. This is why this Manifesto has been written, paying tribute to the first 343 Manifesto sent out at a time when defending this right was almost impossible.
We have signed this manifesto as Associazione Iroko and as individuals because we believe every woman in the EU and around the world should have access to safe and legal abortions. We urge all of our friends, supporters and partners to do the same.

Josh Hawley, the Republican Senate candidate in Missouri, says he is all about making sure anybody can get health insurance, regardless of their medical status: "We need to cover pre-existing conditions," he said earlier this summer.
But Hawley, who is currently Missouri's attorney general, is one of the 20 state officials who has signed onto a new lawsuit seeking to eliminate the Affordable Care Act's guarantee of coverage, which they argue is unconstitutional. Hawley is also a longtime supporter of Congress repealing the law outright.
"It's simple: Obamacare must go," he told supporters last year.
Hawley would have Missourians believe there is nothing contradictory in his rhetoric and action ― he simply wants to get rid of "Obamacare," not the law's promise of insurance for anybody regardless of pre-existing conditions.
Republican candidates are being forced to talk about pre-existing conditions because Democrats keep bringing it up.
One reason Democrats are leaning heavily on this argument is the difficult Senate map before them and the need to find issues, like defending pre-existing conditions, that resonate with independents and even some Republican voters. This year, Democrats are defending seats in 10 states that President Donald Trump carried in 2016, and one of their best opportunities to pick up a new seat is in Arizona, another state that Trump won.
The other reason Democrats are pounding away at the issue is that the stakes are high, with the livelihoods ― and lives ― of many Americans depending on the outcome. The ACA rewrote the rules for insurers selling plans directly to individuals and families so that carriers could no longer deny coverage or otherwise discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
The transformation came at a cost: Insurers, forced to cover bills they had previously avoided, jacked up premiums in response. And although new tax credits offset the increase for most buyers, they don't help everybody. The resulting backlash helped Republicans to win elections, giving them a chance to repeal the law.
And they haven't given up, even though last year's effort failed. Just this week, Vice President Mike Pence reaffirmed the party's determination to take up repeal in 2019 if they still control Congress. In the meantime, the Trump administration has been using its executive authority to undermine pre-existing condition protections unilaterally ― most recently, by effectively creating a parallel market with plans that don't live up to the ACA's standards.
That's not the only threat to the ACA right now. There's also the lawsuit that Hawley, along with officials from 19 other politically conservative states, has co-signed. The plaintiffs argue that, because the 2017 GOP tax cut reduced the ACA's individual mandate penalty to zero, the law's insurance regulations are now unconstitutional. Even many conservative experts think the case relies on an absurd legal argument, but it has support from the Trump administration. Next week, it will go before a conservative federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas.
Morrisey, the West Virginia attorney general who is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, also signed the brief. He supports repeal, as does Scott, who is trying to unseat Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson in Florida and has spent much of his time as governor fighting the law. McSally, who is now running for an open seat in Arizona, was in the House when it took up repeal. She voted yes.
Rosendale, like the others, has been a vocal advocate for Obamacarerepeal.
In almost every state with a competitive Senate race, the Democratic candidate or an outside group controlled by allies of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is airing an ad on pre-existing conditions.
The lawsuit has proven to be a particularly useful foil, because it put the issue of pre-existing conditions into the news at a time when memories of the 2017 repeal fight had started to fade, and because it directly implicates GOP candidates in Missouri and West Virginia.
The political problem for Republicans is that voters aren't likely to believe they suddenly care about pre-existing conditions, just because they say they do.
And voters have said they'll make politicians who don't protect pre-existing conditions pay: In a Kaiser Family Foundation poll earlier this month, 89 percent of registered voters said "continuing protections for people with pre-existing health conditions" would be a factor in their vote, and 63 percent said it would be an important factor. Nearly half of Republicans, 64 percent of independents and 74 percent of Democrats said it would be an important factor in their vote.
In an op-ed earlier this month, Hawley wrote about discovering that one of his two young sons suffers from a "rare condition that can lead to degeneration of his joints," and declared, "Insurers should also be required to cover individuals with pre-existing conditions and young people on their parents' insurance." In the same op-ed, he wrote that Obamacare was a "big government-big insurance collusion scheme" that needed to go.
This is a frequent Republican contention, arguing repeal isn't tantamount to abandoning people with pre-existing conditions. But their proposals would still allow insurers to discriminate against people with medical problems ― by, for example, charging higher prices to people with certain conditions or leaving out key benefits, like prescription coverage, that would make plans effectively useless to people who need ongoing treatment.
This is true of legislation that Senate GOP leaders introduced late last week, partly to protect GOP incumbents, like Nevada's Dean Heller, who are facing similar attacks from Democrats. Hawley embraced it earlier this week.
"If you leave any loopholes open, insurers will take full advantage, and people with health needs will quickly find the coverage they need to be inaccessible, unaffordable or both," said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown's Center for Health Insurance Reform.
Sometimes Republicans defending themselves on health care tout their support for "high-risk pools," which are special health programs for people whom insurers had denied coverage. But the pools, which many states operated in the past, are a notoriously weak substitute, with higher premiums, fewer comprehensive benefits and limited coverage of pre-existing conditions. They also never seem to get the funding they need, which limited enrollment and created waiting lists in some states.
Neglecting to mention the trade-offs in policy is, of course, pretty standard fare in politics. And that's certainly been true in the debate over the ACA.
Hawley, for one, insists there is no contradiction, and blames McCaskill for failing to find a solution.
McCaskill, on the campaign trail, has defended the law – but also admitted passing it on a party-line vote was a mistake.
The Democrats now attacking Republicans over pre-existing conditions don't typically acknowledge the role that the law played in driving up premiums for people who don't qualify for those generous tax credits, making comprehensive coverage flat-out unaffordable in some cases. Nor do they mention that the regulations are the reason some insurers canceled old plans, despite Obama's repeated promises that people who liked their coverage could keep it.
But the GOP's whole rationale for repeal has always been that they have a better, cheaper way to achieve the ACA's core goals, including its protection of people with pre-existing conditions. They have no such alternative, as last year's repeal fight in Congress revealed. The question for the midterms is whether voters will notice that Republicans are making the same empty promises as before.


2.20.2015 "Living with Hope in a Hopeless World!"
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to God's elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
The apostle Peter is reminding us today that through faith in Jesus and his death and resurrection for us, we are reborn by the Spirits power into a new life. This rebirth carries with it the firm assurance of two things: a living hope and an inheritance kept safe for us in heaven.
Our hope is a living hope. Unlike the hopes and dreams of our own making, which often go to pieces, the living hope we possess rests on the sure promises and power of God. It is a hope that makes it possible for us to 'sail triumphantly into the harbor of eternal fulfillment' as one of my former mentors would say.
Our inheritance as a child of God, unlike many earthly inheritances that are lost or defied, is kept safe in heaven by our heavenly Father who protects it from disappearing, being spoiled or faded. The inheritance that awaits us as a child of God will never see corruption. It is a certain inheritance that brings great peace.
Having been crucified with Christ and born anew in the waters of baptism, we are empowered in a wonderful and amazing way to be about the call and mission that Jesus has for each of our lives. Because we have been given a living hope and a certain inheritance through faith in the resurrected Christ, we are able to tread without fear the path that our Lord has set before us. We have the privilege of living as a people of hope in a world where hopelessness abounds.
Lord, thank you for choosing us according to your foreknowledge and sanctifying us through the work of the Spirit that we may be obedient to the call you have on each of our lives. Help us to live as people of hope. Amen.
