Introducing amazonite, a feldspar curiously said to be named after Brazil's mighty Amazon River, though deposits of amazonite have never been found in its proximity. Amazonite is valued for its attractive blue-green hues and its harmonizing properties. Read on to learn more.
Colour: Green to blue-green, opaque to transluscent, sometimes with a fine white lattice pattern.
Amazonite is a variety of microcline feldspar.
The feldspars are crystalline aluminosilicates that are very prevalent in the Earth's crust, forming in lava flows as they cool. The name literally translates from the Germanic 'feld', meaning field, and 'spar', meaning "easily cleaved" (split).
Characteristic of feldspar is the presence of lamellae – very thin, highly reflective platelets that form in layers within the structure of the crystal. These platelets cause light to scatter and reflect between the layers, creating an iridescent effect known as "schiller".
The many varieties of feldspar consist of either potassium, sodium or calcium, or different combinations of these elements, to varing degrees. Microcline feldspars are potassium-based and commonly found in pegmatites (large-grained granites). They are usually an off-white to fleshy pink colour and very common. However as amazonite, it is relatively rare. It is the presence of trace impurities of lead within the crystalline structure that is responsible for the intense blue-green colour of amazonite.
When amazonite crystallizes at a medium to low temperature and albite (sodium based feldspar) is also present, the albite and amazonite will separate and form into a lattice of roughly parallel layers of alternating amazonite and albite. This results in a pattern of thin, white stripes running through the green amazonite.
Amazonite has been used by humans for 4000 years.
A popular amulet stone in ancient Egypt, Tutankhamen's tomb revealed a scarab ring made from amazonite and parts of the Book of the dead have been found inscribed on tablets made of it. The ancient Assyrians associated it with their god, Belus. In India, Mesopotamia and pre-Columbian America, it was used as jewellery.
Microcline feldspars are used in modern times in the manufacture of glass, porcelain and enamel. As amazonite, however, it is highly prized as a gemstone and is generally collected for gem cutting. The mines in Colorado, USA, are famous for their extraordinary mineral specimens of amazonite and smoky quartz crystals growing together and are prized by collectors.
Amazonite opens and activates the heart and throat chakras, with its primary focus being balance and harmony. It is attributed with aligning the physical, etheric and astral bodies and balancing one's male and female energies. It is also said to promote harmony between individuals, making it useful for conflict resolution.
For those who struggle to stay true to themselves in the face of others' values and opinions, amazonite helps to maintain conviction and make a stand.
Perhaps that is why it has been credited with helping "lazy" teenagers. Peer group pressure and confidence issues may possibly be addressed successfully with amazonite's assistance.
Amazonite is also considered a powerful tool for manifestation. Helping us to choose our words carefully, it shows us how what we speak can empower us.
It is suggested that meditating or sleeping with amazonite will stimulate visions or dreams that provide truthful insight.
In terms of spiritual development, amazonite's harmonizing aspect may help one to align both one's spiritual and material being.
Amazonite is credited with calming and soothing one's nerves and healing trauma. It is also said to treat calcium deficiency and osteoporosis, to prevent tooth decay, cure muscle spasms., treat eye disorders and water retention, and to make childbirth easier.
Amazonite relates to the astrological sign of Virgo and vibrates to the number 5.

Christianity Today calls all of us rich, promotes woke activism over WallStreetBets
It should come as a surprise to no one that Big Eva would eventually condemn the actions of WallStreetBets. Christianity Today would go out of its way to obfuscate the moralities of hedge funds and retail stock market investing by taking a parable of Jesus out of context, and then bait and switching the reader into supporting Social Justice. Michael Rhodes writes the article titled "In the GameStop Frenzy, What If We're All the 1 Percent?" The key Bible passage ripped out of context is Luke 12:13-21.
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me." 14 But He said to him, "Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?" 15 Then He said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions." 16 And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?' 18 Then he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."' 20 But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' 21 So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
NASB 1995
In reference to this passage, Rhodes writes:
While the vast majority of farmers in Jesus' day would have been engaged in some form of subsistence agriculture, large landowners were increasingly profiting off grain speculation. Those who had enough of an agricultural surplus could afford to keep their grain off the market while prices were low. Then, when grain was scarce and people were hungry, they could sell their surplus at a massive profit. Such speculation wreaked havoc on the local economy while allowing the opportunist to profit both financially and socially from the chaos he helped create.
Let us assume what Rhodes writes about grain speculation is true. Jesus does not condemn the rich man's actions in building a building a larger barn to store his surplus grain. Verse 19 is where we see the real reason for the rich man in this parable being labeled a fool. The purpose of this parable is to condemn the poor people who want to be that rich fool. This parable is about condemning covetousness. The rich man was a man who thought that he could prolong his life with his wealth and that his wealth was all that he needed. It's not his shrewd business practices that are condemned; it's his materialism. This parable points out that the man coveting his rich neighbor is just as foolish because they are driven by the same ravenous desire. Rhodes continues:
Against this background, Jesus condemns at least two aspects of the rich man's greed. Not only does the rich man fail to share from his abundance, but he apparently plans to use the economic power his abundance affords him to gain further riches for himself at the expense of his neighbors.
Taking the wrong lesson from this passage, Rhodes speaks as though creating a hedge fund can only be motivated by greed. This is not to say that current practices of hedge funds are benign in their motivations, but the pursuit of profit is not sinful in and of itself whether it's a hedge fund or a family business.
Jesus' parable offers a warning to those who made ludicrous profits while creating a crisis that devastated the global economy.
He is referring to 2008, not 2020. I would blame the government for 2008, because the banks operated with a system where they were encouraged to shell out risky loans because they had assurance of a bailout. The symbiotic relationship was alive back then with the notion of "too big to fail."
It's hard to imagine that the Jesus who characterized a first-century agro-entrepreneur as a malicious fool would overlook the way bank CEOs claimed multimillion-dollar Wall Street bonuses while Main Street burned. Surely the Jesus who sniffed out the money-loving Pharisees' hypocrisy (Luke 12:1) would have something to say about modern-day financial market manipulation.
These reeks of covetousness, which is understandable considering he misread the parable. Rhodes next articulates that the man who asked Jesus to demand his brother divide the family inheritance was likely destitute. Rhodes goes on to make a suggest that WallStreetBets was a movement full of Christians which was rather odd (I supported the movement but partook late in the game with very little of my Robinhood account dedicated to it.) I do not think market manipulation in and of itself is morally wrong. However, the double standard that the system applies to market manipulation is. But Rhodes shifts his argument to say that those in WallStreetBets are the 1%.
The danger here is much bigger than this week's stock market story. The danger is that in the face of a deeply dysfunctional economic system and corruption by the super-rich, middle-class American Christians forget that in global and historical terms, we are the 1 percent.
This is inconsiderate as saying your problems are meaningless unless you're a starving child in Africa, with AIDS. The inverse of that would be your happiness is nothing compared to the rich hedge fund billionaire riding on a jet ski at their third vacation home. This is soft-minding thinking.
Every single investor in GameStop lives a life of unimaginable comfort and wealth compared to the vast majority of those Jesus warned about their greed. Most of us are richer than the fictitious rich fool in terms of life expectancy, health, and luxury items. Economically speaking, compared to the typical first-century Jesus-follower, we are kings and pharaohs living lives of unimaginable security and ease. Yet middle-class Christians consistently read Jesus' warning about the wealthy as applying to somebody else. We, the richest people who have ever lived, read ourselves in the role of the peasant and find somebody further up the economic ladder to play the part of the fool.
This is pure nonsense, every word. Rhodes has an inaccurate understanding of wealth that is conflated with standard of living. A man working for Google making $100000, while renting a coffin apartment in San Francisco is not rich. He is running a rat race. A family living paycheck to paycheck in order to remain in this high standard of living society is not wealthy. To call them such is demeaning to their struggle. People exist in the times that God places them to exist in and survive by the means that are available. Just because Crassus did not own an iPhone doesn't mean that he was impoverished by today's standards. In fact should we not judge the value of what people owned back then by it's market value today for an honest comparison. In America we have to make enough income to stay alive in this high standard society. And an increasing number of Americans, in many instances due to government housing policies, are struggling to keep up with the race. The number of people who do not have emergency funds should tell you just how many people live with ease. Rhodes returns to the issue at-hand arguing:
But we shouldn't confuse fighting for a better seat at the blackjack table with confronting an economy addicted to gambling. That's especially true when either gambler's loss can wreak havoc on the lives of others. After all, it's not just Wall Street financiers who invest in hedge funds; pension funds, like the ones that fund the retirements of school teachers and firefighters, do too. We ignore the ways we are the rich fools at our own moral and spiritual peril and at our neighbors' expense.
Jesus doesn't tell his flock to beat the rich fool at his own game. He invites them to live an economic life free from greed or fear, storing up treasure in heaven by giving generously to the poor (Luke 12:33).
This is a truism. He is using words Jesus obviously did not say to make a larger point that does not necessarily apply. Most of the private sector has moved away from pension programs because they are outdated, but Rhodes implies that otherwise struggling pensions were selfishly harmed by the WallStreetBets movement. Being the rich fool is about motivations, not actions.
If we want to invest in Jesus' kingdom, I suspect there are better ways than squeezing hedge funds. We could invest in black and brown business with the help of lending platforms like WeFunder and Kiva. We could invest our money and social connections in organizations that help the economically poor build wealth through education or homeownership. We could creatively protest some of the dysfunctions of our economic system while remembering that Jesus' parable is a warning for us as much as it is for financial professionals.
And theirs the bait and switch. Instead of "gambling" on the stock market, he suggests gambling Social Justice. The race of a business owner has no bearing on the ability for the business to survive outside of very bona fide instances. The last line is completely lacking self-awareness. WallStreetBets was the creative protest of the system that he speaks of.
The misapplication of Scripture to obfuscate a cut and dry situation is a terrible witness. Rather than using people's anger as a means to preach the gospel, Christianity Today would much rather lecture Christians about how wealthy they are in an earthly sense and then convince them to support woke causes.

Christianity Today, Michael Rhodes, Wall Street
PrevPreviousIs Kevin Ezell functionally an egalitarian?
NextDoes everything happen for a (good) reason?Next
Pension funds used to have very strict investing guidelines that prevented them from investing in risky hedge funds. Hedge funds are really just for large investors that can absorb large losses in the hope that one of them hits their big gambles. Pension funds are being forced to chase risky gains BECAUSE of government intervention into the markets trying to make it more equitable, which is why they're almost all on their way to implosion.
Now naked shorting by some large hedge funds did kick off the crash in '08 but it was government intervention in the housing market trying to help lower income people buy houses they could never afford that made it so destructive.
Trump did help investing in black communities and businesses with opportunity zones. Where is Christianity Today on this?! How about when BLM was burning down black owned businesses all over the US and Trump was trying his best to try to stop it but was thwarted at every turn?
Lastly, one of the Wallstreetbros made it clear it wasn't about the money. It was about righting the wrongs of hedge funds manipulating the markets. It was to stop them. How pathetic to bring fireman into the picture. But that's a classic tactic of the left…..
Just look at CALPERS. Hedge funds are hardly the most risky asset in their portfolio. Venture Capital and (assuming they are invested in crypto) are both riskier.
And you completely nail it at the end. The situation is we each lose hundred while they lose billions. Yes, some people will profit greatly, but the plebs are creating their own bubble in which one would be wise to sell before the hype train comes to a stop.
Very true, pension funds are getting into even riskier schemes. With interest rates so artificially depressed "safe" investments offer almost zero growth. I hate to say it, but we will be bailing them out. Theres just no way around it. The question is just to what degree…
And yeah the plebs need to be careful, I'd look out for the big guys getting some revenge. Now I hear they're going after silver, which really is the most manipulated. But I don't think they can pull it off, especially if they know it's coming this time. That said, the day will come the for silver shorts and its going to be epic. It's just going to take way more than reddit to set it off.

200-250cc Engine Motor Variant
December 21, 2019 December 21, 2019 redwolf5960
GWRRA-REGIONA – You can find out more about the variations of 200-250cc motorized motorcycles that you can make as a reference to see the advantages of each variant. Here is a list of 200-250cc motorized engine variants to choose from;
Honda Cbr250r And Cbr250rr
In 2011, Honda released the CBR250R model which had an injection engine. At that time, the motorbike carrying the 249cc engine capacity was provided by CBU by Astra Honda Motor (AHM), as the official supplier of Honda motorcycles in Indonesia. The CBR 250R underwent a total change in appearance in 2014, namely adopting a dual light model. But the motor for Rp.46.8 – 55.2 million did not seem able to tackle the might of Kawasaki who had more experience playing in the sports segment for trade lines in Indonesia. The single cylinder 250cc engine did not sell well when applied to the CBR 250R. It turns out that in the view of Kenji Kawai, Large Project Leader of the Honda Motorcycle R&D Center, Japan, Indonesians prefer the crisp roar of a double cylinder engine, because in appearance it will be more supportive. Various advanced technologies are embedded in the sport motorbike produced at Honda's factory in Karawang, West Java, including the Ride By Wire Throttle System gas twisting technology. AHM Marketing Director, Margono Tanuwijaya, said that there are two types to be marketed, namely the standard type and the ABS type. The price is in the range of IDR 63 to IDR 68 million for the standard type, and IDR 64 to IDR 74 million for the ABS type.
Yamaha R25, MT25, and XMax scooter
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (YIMM) presents a range of motorcycles with 250cc engine capacity locally made which have been exported to several countries, ranging from sports fairing models, streetfighter, to scooter. The first model, the Yamaha YZF-R25 was officially introduced in Indonesia in May 2014. The motorbike carrying the DOHC two-cylinder injection engine is capable of producing an output power of 36 hp. What distinguishes MT-25 and R25 products is the physical appearance. As mentioned above that the pure R25 carries a sport fairing motorbike model, while the MT-25 further emphasizes the naked bike character. YIMM released the R25 model with a tag of Rp53 million, for the standard type. Meanwhile, to bring the ABS type, funds that must be prepared are Rp59 million. And lately the connoisseurs of scooter motorcycles in Indonesia were shocked by YIMM's efforts to produce locally, the next generation of Max's family. After NMax is selling well brought by motorists in Indonesia, YIMM is now preparing XMax which is a scooter with a 250cc engine capacity. Although he confirmed that he was preparing a 250 cc scooter, YIMM's GM Marketing Assistant, Mohammad Masykur, did not want to talk much.
Suzuki Inazuma And Burgman 200
Suzuki only issued one type of 250cc motorbike in Indonesia, namely Inazuma, which has been present since August 2012. The dual exhaust motor is targeting the touring enthusiasts, because it comes with a cruiser model. With a sport touring motorbike scheme, As described by Okezone, the designs of the futuristic and aggressive headlamps make this motorbike look tough and powerful. Inazuma is equipped with a 250 cc two-cylinder injection engine, which is rumored to be capable of producing 24 PS of power at 8,500 rpm and 22 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The mechanical heart is juxtaposed with a six-speed transmission. SIS released Inzuma at a price of Rp.49.5 million, OTR Jakarta.
Meanwhile, in other products, SIS is targeting the scooter class with a 200 cc engine capacity by bringing the Burgman 200 into their Big Bike category. With a weight of 161 kg, this motor has a single cylinder SOHC injection heart pacemaker. No wonder this motorbike has not been much on the streets of Indonesia, given the high price, which is priced at Rp57.2 million. The price is quite expensive for the automatic motorbike type of 200 cc, even double the price of the Yamaha NMax (155 cc scooter, 45 cc difference) which is only Rp23.5 Million.

Q: Tkinter: how to open a Toplevel window from another script I'm a newbie in programming and I'm struggling a bit (a lot actually) with my first "program". Here's what I did:
since I want the code not to be too long, I want to split it in two files. In the first one I call the main window, where I put a button. If I click this button, I run the second script, that should hide the main window and make appear a new window (toplevel). The problem is that if I click the button nothing happens.
A thing I noticed is that if in the second script I add the strings "if name=="main":   main.mainloop()", then this new window does appear, but a second main window appears too, as if I re-runned the main code.
Script one:
from tkinter import *
import os
main=Tk()
def sw():
   os.system("python3 ./script_two.py")
my_button=Button(main,text="NEW",command=sw)
my_button.grid(row=0,column=0)
if__name__="__main__":
   main.mainloop()

Script two:
from tkinter import *
import os
import script_one
script_one.main.withdraw()
second_window=Toplevel()
def Close():
   second_window.destroy()
   script_one.main.deiconify()
second_button = Button(second_window,text="Exit",command=Close)
second_button.grid(row=0,column=0)

If I put together the scripts (inserting the code of "script_two" in 'def sw()'), I get exactly what I want, but if I split them as showed, I get the problem.
Obviously for a code this short it would be easier and faster to write a single script, what I actually have is a longer code, but the problem is the same.
Any idea? Thank you very much

Achille Lollo (Roma, 8 de maio de 1951) é um jornalista, ensaísta, ex-integrante do Potere Operaio ("Poder Operário", também referida como Potop), organização extraparlamentar de extrema esquerda do seu país. Assassino condenado, está radicado há mais de duas décadas no Brasil, Lollo militou no Partido dos Trabalhadores e, a seguir, no PSOL.

Em 1973, aos 23 anos, Lollo tornou-se uma figura pública na Itália, ao ser acusado de envolvimento no Rogo di Primavalle ("incêndio de Primavalle"). O incêndio teve como alvo o apartamento de Mario Mattei, secretário de uma seção do Movimento Social Italiano, e resultou na morte de dois dos filhos de Mattei - Virgilio, 22 anos, e Stefano, 10 anos. Em 18 de abril de 1973, Achille Lollo foi considerado como responsável presumido pelo incêndio e passou dois anos em prisão preventiva, à espera da sentença definitiva. Condenado, apelou em liberdade. Após a condenação, fugiu para Angola, onde morou por dez anos, e depois, para o Brasil, onde foi casualmente descoberto pelas autoridades consulares italianas, em 1993. Mais tarde, foi condenado a 18 anos de prisão, por duplo homicídio culposo, incêndio doloso, uso de explosivo e material incendiário. Em janeiro de 2005, a Corte de Apelo de Roma, declarou prescrita a sentença, e o processo foi arquivado.

Rogo di Primavalle
Na noite de 16 de abril de 1973, segundo os autos do processo em que foi condenado, Achille Lollo, junto a outros três integrantes do grupo Potere Operaio (Paul Gaeta, Diana Perrone e Elisabetta Lecco), teria despejado gasolina na porta de um apartamento no terceiro andar de via Bernardo da Bibbiena 6, próximo à praça Primavalle, onde vivia, com a família, Mario Mattei - que na época tinha 48 anos -, secretário da seção local do partido Movimento Sociale Italiano. Mario estava na cama quando viu o brilho das chamas. Jogando-se pela janela, salvou a vida. Sua esposa pegou os filhos de 9 e 4 anos e foi para o andar superior, onde foram socorridos pelos bombeiros. Outras duas filhas, de 19 e de 15 anos, desceram por um balcão. Os últimos dois filhos ficaram presos no quarto e morreram carbonizados.

Lollo foi condenado por duplo homicídio culposo e tentativa de homicídio. Este episódio da violenta década de 1970, ficou conhecido como Rogo di Primavalle ("incêndio de Primavalle").

Cronologia do julgamento de Lollo
 Em 15 de Junho de 1975, Lollo foi julgado na Corte d'Assise, onde a acusação pediu a prisão perpétua para Lollo. O julgamento foi invalidado devido à insuficiência de evidências. Nesse período Lollo se exila na Angola, onde trabalhou como jornalista e conheceu sua esposa.
 Em 30 de Junho de 1981, a Corte d'Assise aceitou o recurso movido por um membro do júri popular.
 Em 28 de Maio de 1984, a Suprema Corte di Cassazione, juizado de última instância, estabeleceu a validade do processo de primeira ordem, cancelando o recurso de 1981 e reabrindo o processo de Lollo.
 Em Dezembro de 1986, a Corte d'Assise d'Appello condenou Lollo a 18 anos de cadeia pelas acusações de "duplo homicídio culposo", "incêndio doloso" e "uso de explosivo e material incendiário", reafirmando a não intencionalidade dos atos (repare que o duplo homicídio foi considerado "culposo", mas não "doloso").
 Em 13 de Outubro de 1987 a sentença se torna definitiva. A Suprema Corte di Cassazione rejeita o recurso do advogado de defesa de Lollo.
 Em 20 de Fevereiro de 1993, Achille Lollo é preso no Brasil, onde vivia desde 1987 com a esposa e quatro filhos, sendo um deles brasileiro. O Supremo Tribunal Federal nega o pedido de extradição de Achille Lollo, feito pela Itália.
 Em 29 de Janeiro de 2005, a Corte d'Assise d'Appello de Roma declara prescrita a sentença por já se terem passado 18 anos desde a condenação. O pedido foi encaminhado por Francisco Romeo, o advogado de defesa de Clavo. A Procuradoria-Geral manifestou-se favorável a estender o pedido aos outros participantes do crime, dessa maneira libertando a todos.

O pedido de extradição
A denúncia de que Achille Lollo vivia no Rio de Janeiro foi feita pelo partido Alleanza Nazionale ("Aliança Nacional"), "sucessor" do antigo Movimento Sociale Italiano e liderado por Gianfranco Fini. Fini é atualmente importante líder de sustentação do coalização do primeiro-ministro italiano Sílvio Berlusconi.

Achille Lollo apresentou-se na sede do Consulado Italiano do Rio de Janeiro, como italiano residente no exterior, para votar, dada a prescrição de sua pena, e revelou não ter renunciado à cidadania italiana. Declarou que, no Brasil, como de conhecimento público, dedica-se, há muitos anos, ao jornalismo e à editoria. Preso durante alguns meses em 1993, por força de mandado internacional de captura da Interpol, foi solto por ordem do Supremo Tribunal Federal.

Achille Lollo lembrou ter sido julgado e condenado por atos políticos, e a Constituição Brasileira de 1988 determina que "não será concedida extradição de estrangeiro por crime político ou de opinião".

Atuação no PSOL

Lollo teria ajudado a construir a base ideológica e estratégica do PSOL. Todavia, os militantes do PSOL declaram que Lollo apenas contribuiu para o sítio web do PSOL e para algumas publicações do partido. A produção jornalística de Lollo sempre foi basicamente veiculada pelas revistas trimestrais "Nação Brasil", "Conjuntura Internacional" e "Crítica Social", das quais era editor. Segundo o PSOL, a supervalorização da biografia de Lollo e de sua importância no partido seria uma estratégia política da centro-esquerda do Brasil de vincular o PSOL aos violentos confrontos ocorridos em outros contextos históricos, como o da Itália na década de 1970, entre a esquerda, a direita e o Estado.

Achille Lollo não é um dos fundadores do PSOL como se é frequentemente digulgado de maneira errada. Os Fundadores do PSOL como consta no Senado Federal, e na história do PSOL são Heloísa Helena, Luciana Genro, Babá e João Fontes que buscando obter registro permanente na Justiça Eleitoral, o partido obteve quase 700 mil assinaturas a favor de sua fundação, mas os cartórios eleitorais só concederam certidões a 450 mil dessas assinaturas. Uma nova tentativa de apresentar assinaturas válidas foi realizada pelos organizadores do partido em 1 de setembro de 2005. Em 15 de setembro, o registro definitivo foi obtido.

Retorno à Itália
Em janeiro de 2011, Achille Lollo voltou à Itália e anunciou que compareceria diante da justiça para ser ouvido como "pessoa informada sobre os fatos" relativos ao incêndio de Primavalle. Para Giampaolo Mattei, irmão de Stefano e Virgilio, com o interrogatório de Lollo "escreve-se finalmente a história verdadeira, certa", porque o importante "é a verdade, tanto com relação ao incêndio de Primavalle como em outras questões dos anos de chumbo".

A lost dog could be more quickly found in California if Senate Bill 702 becomes a reality in California. According to the LA Times, Senate Bill 702 would require a tiny identifying microchip to be implanted in dogs and cats adopted out of municipal shelters or reclaimed at the shelters by owners who lost them.
So if your hunting dog were to be lost (time for a GPS collar, perhaps?) and later taken to a shelter, he'd be automatically microchipped before you could take him home.
What's your feeling on this? Also, is your gun dog microchipped? The technology's out there, and pretty inexpensive, too — about $5 to $25 dollars, or a bit more if done by a vet.

The Economics of Marriage in Greta Gerwig's "Little Women"
By Dedra McDonald Birzer|2020-06-09T09:57:01-05:00June 9th, 2020|Categories: Culture, Fiction, Film, Literature, Marriage|
Director Greta Gerwig's film "Little Women" ends as Louisa May Alcott's novel does, with a family-centered fall festival at Plumfield. Perhaps unintentionally, Ms. Gerwig captures the spirit of Alcott's beautiful ending to her novel. Not only has she married off the heroine, but she has shown marriage to be far more than an economic arrangement.
Greta Gerwig's big-screen adaptation of Little Women offers an emphasis on women's economic independence that has precipitated some protest from purists, who correctly point out that such moments as Amy's "marriage is an economic arrangement" speech are not in Louisa May Alcott's novel. What such criticism misses, however, is the reminder Ms. Gerwig's script provides of just how central the story of Little Women is to the American literary landscape. Since the novel's publication in 1868, the four March sisters and their neighbor Laurie have lived in the imaginations of generations of Americans and readers across the globe, inspiring plays, musicals, movies, television series, and even Japanese anime. Each adaptation maintains the broad strokes of the story but alters the details to emphasize, and sometimes completely reimagine, the moral of the story. Ms. Gerwig's retelling of Little Women maintains the major aspects of Alcott's beloved novel, but rearranges them to serve as a commentary on the very real lack of economic opportunities available to middle- and upper-class women (really, the genteel poor) in nineteenth-century America.
Jo's experiences in the world of publication frame the story, which consists of a series of flashbacks that are fairly chronological. These are confusing to those unfamiliar with the Little Women story (my 11- and 15-year-old boys had some trouble following the movie without prompts from their older sisters about which episodes are in the past and which are in the present). Jo's memories provide the background explanations to her present, as viewers first meet her in New York City, where she sells a rather salacious short story to a publisher who desires stories with no moral value. Viewers learn that she has come to New York to work as a governess for two little girls in a respectable boarding house, where the fascinating German scholar she eventually marries also resides. A telegram from home in Concord, Massachusetts, prompts her immediate return, as her sister Beth is dying. As Jo journeys home by train, her memories convey the highlights of Alcott's novel, starting with the Christmas breakfast the March girls agree to give to the poor Hummel family, who have nothing to eat.
Through the device of flashbacks, Ms. Gerwig builds the characters of the March sisters—Jo (Saoirse Ronan), Meg (Emma Watson), Beth (Eliza Scanlon), and Amy (Florence Pugh), their mother, affectionately called Marmee (Laura Dern), and Laurie (Timothée Chalomet). The cast has great chemistry, making the seven-year aging process in the movie believable (though Amy does not quite look twelve in the movie's earliest chronological scenes). Their well-worn yet comfortable home is actually Old Orchard (on the outside at least), the Alcott home in Concord, located very near the homes of their dear friends Thoreau and Emerson. Ms. Gerwig's direction beautifully captures the subtle looks and tones of parental guidance and filial relationships, accompanied by a gorgeous soundtrack.
Despite the director's attempt to re-focus the story as a tale of frustrated female economic independence and the place of marriage within that construct, Alcott's central message of family love and its passing seasons cannot be overcome. Beth's illness and eventual death, brought on by her diligent charitable attention to the Hummel family, provides a poignant account of the loss of a loved one that brings tears to the eyes of every viewer who has suffered such a loss. Indeed, these domestic scenes chronicling events all too common to human life lend strength and beauty to the film. It's a coming of age tale that all viewers find recognizable in its emotional ups and downs that teach valuable lessons. Meg must learn the hard way that vanity obscures true beauty. Jo learns that she must moderate her temper and, like her mother, learn patience. Beth must learn courage so that she might enjoy the use of Mr. Laurence's fine piano. Amy must learn maturity and self-control to be able to gain her sisters' trust. To Ms. Gerwig's detriment, she leaves out the very significant role played by the family's strong Christian faith and the leadership of their father as well as their mother in teaching these lessons. Indeed, Alcott's novel parallels Pilgrim's Progress, the novel by which Bronson Alcott framed his own life. While the March family devotion to charity comes across in the movie, the basis of that charity in their Christian faith is not portrayed. This Christian aspect of Alcott's novel is not a subtle undertone. Beth's long road to death is a beautiful account of her gradual acceptance that she is dying and she eventually welcomes her journey to Heaven. The rest of the family, especially Jo, must come to terms with the impending loss of Beth and re-order their values to match hers so that they too might join her in Heaven. Charity is a major theme (charity as love; love as charity) from the very beginning of the novel, all the way to its end.
Little Women is a book about love and how the best relationships reflect the true love of our Heavenly Father. This is not a subordinated message in the novel but repeated throughout. Ms. Gerwig not surprisingly ignores this significant aspect of Alcott's story.
The desire for a marital union based on love and the validity of marriage and family as worthy dreams also triumphs as a theme in the film. Jo's enmity toward Laurie's tutor John Brooke for "taking away" her sister Meg and ending their childhood is tempered by Meg's insistence that her dream of having her own home and family is as worthy as Jo's dream of being a writer. Despite Aunt March's sharp words of disapproval over Meg's choice to marry a poor tutor-turned-bookkeeper, the wedding is a joyful one. In Alcott's novel, Meg and John's long engagement brings the first volume of the work to a close. The second volume, Good Wives, was written by Alcott in 1869 in answer to the fervent requests of fans to know what happens to the March sisters. Ms. Gerwig nods at Alcott's fan-induced concessions in Good Wives with publisher Dashwood's insistence that Jo's heroine marry in the novel. Here, director Gerwig weaves together aspects of Louisa May Alcott's publication of Little Women and Good Wives with her adaptation of Little Women to film. Footage of the actual printing and binding process for books in the mid-19th century is cleverly inserted into the movie, as viewers rejoice with Jo over the publication of her book. Interestingly (and somewhat confusingly for the audience), the book cover is stamped with the author's name as Louisa May Alcott, not as Josephine March. While Alcott's own family experiences with having three sisters, one of whom died as a teenager, provide some of the material for the novel, it is not an autobiography. Ms. Gerwig's artistic vision here is misleading at best. In the novel and in the film, Jo writes a short story about her sisters for Beth during their time at the seashore. This story is the basis for a published short story that is Jo's first writing and reflects her true talent as an author. In the novel, this story brings hope to the German professor, Friedrich Baehr, that Jo may just carry a spark of romantic interest in him. Ms. Gerwig's direction takes a different path with Jo's turn to good writing, placing it as her response to her own regret over not accepting Laurie's marriage proposal as well as her means of dealing with mourning Beth's death.
Ms. Gerwig's film ends as Alcott's novel (the second part, Good Wives) does, with a family-centered fall festival at Plumfield, the estate Aunt March has left to Jo in her will, which has now become a school. The novel places this scene five years into the future, with Jo the mother of two young boys, Rob and Teddy, and Amy the mother of a fragile baby daughter, Bess. Meg's twins, Demi and Daisy, are now eight years old. These and other children, students at Plumfield, are shown happily playing and learning as the March girls, now grown into women, gather round their mother, with their father and husbands standing behind them as beacons of love and support. Alcott depicts this moment without the male support, placing Marmee at the center, radiantly surrounded by her daughters and grandchildren. Jo calls it Marmee's harvest:
'Here it is, and we never can thank you enough for the patient sowing and reaping you have done,' cried Jo with the loving impetuosity which she never could outgrow.
'I hope there will be more wheat and fewer tares every year,' said Amy softly.
'A large sheaf, but I know there's room in your heart for it, Marmee dear,' added Meg's tender voice.
Touched to the heart, Mrs. March could only stretch out her arms, as if to gather children and grandchildren to herself, and say, with face and voice full of motherly love, gratitude, and humility—
'Oh my girls, however long you may live, I never can wish you a greater happiness than this!'
Perhaps unintentionally, director Greta Gerwig captures the spirit of Louisa May Alcott's beautiful ending to her novel. Not only has she married off the heroine, but she has shown marriage to be far more than an economic arrangement.

Excellent. Very insightful and helpful for those of us less familiar with the novel. The movie was well-done and my girls loved it too, but I could tell there was something missing.
