TADIA takes the New York Haitian music scene by storm

TADIA
Tadia Toussaint as rebranded herself TADIA 'Turning All Dreams Into Adventures. The former contributor to The Haitian Times has in fact begun to actualize her childhood aspirations of becoming an entertainer and connecting with an audience. The Juilliard-alumna returned to music full-time after obtaining both her bachelor's and a masters' degrees in journalism. She decided to pursue a career as a singer, media maker/ personality, and entrepreneur. TADIA's vibrant and unique sound is a reflection of the many cultures that surrounded her including soul, electronic, konpa, afro beats, and pop. The Haitian-American songstress has remained connected and true to her Haitian roots in her creative endeavors. As this dynamic young entertainer ascends, she is certainly one to keep tabs on. We spoke with her recently
HT: You began singing as a very young child, how did you start and as a youngster who encouraged and pushed you forward?
TADIA: My mother and my uncle Guy pushed me forward the most. They gave me the tools I needed in seasons of transition and always gave me their insight but didn't force decisions on me.
HT: How has Haitian Kompa influenced your music?
TADIA: The catchy melodies and full sounds instrumentation definitely has influenced my music creation process. I love creating multi-layered tracks with moving elements whether it be vocals or musical sounds.
HT: Your first single 'Down Low' was a great hit which led to your opening for Davido, how was that connection made?
TADIA: My tribe, which is the community of people who support me, comes out in numbers which has been proven true in the many shows I performed at last year. The promoters of the tour heard of me from local events and the Afrobeat events I had been making appearances at. The point of booking was confirmed because they liked my music, my energy, my work ethic and knew I could attract a dynamic crowd.
HT: You have a new single coming out soon "Worth It", what is the inspiration?
TADIA: The song is an anthem encouraging people, more specifically women, to fight for what they believe in and who they believe in. It's an acknowledgement of knowing your worth and demanding to be treated accordingly.
HT: You have been signed with Wonda Music and are working with fellow Haitian Grammy-award winning producer Jerry 'Wonda' Duplessis, what is that like?
TADIA: I've been building a relationship with him for the past 2 years and just recently officially signed a production deal. I'm learning everyday more and more what it means to be signed. It's definitely not what people think it is. I still have to work really hard especially on the brand building and the business side of music. Jerry is definitely accessible to assist in navigating and building my music arsenal. He's a talented music architect and sessions with him are magical. Truly inspiring to watch him in action. I've learned more about the music creation process and have been in studio sessions and written songs for other artists like Rotimi, because they come to Jerry's studio, Platinum Sounds.
HT: How did you find out that Tony Bennett had taken an interest in you and your music?
TADIA: In 2008, I had a solo performance at Stuyvesant High School, where I was a part of an intensive program called Summer Arts Institute with other talented young people of the New York City area, including R&B singer Ella Mai. He waited to find me after the show and came to tell me how much my voice was special and that I would go far. He said that my vocal tone was unique.
HT: How has what's been going on with the COVID-19 pandemic, and other recent social and political issues affected your music?
TADIA: I was scheduled to open up for DAVIDO, that's since been postponed. I also had other major tours and festivals confirmed. I wanted to perform more this year and continue to build my tribe but Covid has definitely led me to reevaluate how I can use my craft and brand to reach the masses remotely. Even through 'Worth It' focuses on celebrating the royal worth of women, I've started my own sub-movement promoting to my audience that Black Lives are worth it. Initially it was difficult for me to create and be productive but I shifted gears and propelled by putting out music with a valuable message. It's my job as an artist to use my music to tell stories.
HT: What are your feelings on the Black Lives Matter movement?
TADIA: Can't Stop. Won't Stop. I'm so thrilled to see the movement, the pressure, the 'You Gone Lose YO Job'. What a time to be alive. It gets draining but we have to do the work. We have to do the research. We have to Vote. We have to share the stories. We have to support black owned businesses and artists. It's time we shift our focus and really advance, FOR REAL! I feel good about what's happening.
HT: How do you remain connected to your Haitian roots, have you ever visited Haiti?
TADIA: I've visited Haiti several times and attended festivals and summits there. I even stayed for 2 months once to work. I remain connected by being in tuned with my community, I keep up with the artists, the media platforms, the news, and the music. I speak the language with my peers and family. I cook the food, I learn new recipes. I ask the questions via my elders. The culture is a part of me, I am a part of it.
HT: Growing up in a Haitian household, many staple dishes were served at the dinner table, what are some of your favorite dishes?
TADIA: I love kabrit, banan peze, pwasson, and beregen. Goat, fried plaintains, fish and eggplant

If only I knew how to do that from my iPad on this forum ?
Anyone help me on uploading a picture please?
Hi and welcome unfortunately I can't help with your pics but hopefully someone here can. Sounds like an interesting project. Please keep us posted.
Nice! I see its from Gangsters Paradise GP reg. Should have no rust if its spent its life up in Joburg area.
is it an air cooled? has the triple vents over the rear arches, I have only seen these on air cooled crew cabs.
Ford 3.0 v6 was very popular back in the day. Nice sounding but thirsty!
Nice with the later Caravelle seats and SA dash.
It should be fine, just a different shape that tristar / caravelle side windows.


The first is our Synergy Select Pilsen Malt, which is a true European-style Pilsen Malt that is rich in flavor, high in extract and low in protein with moderate enzymes and FAN. Using a new AMBA variety, our maltsters picked the unique flood-irrigated, semi-arid plains of the Bighorn Basin in northern Wyoming for its ability to grow bright, clean, low protein Synergy barley. Then, individual fields were hand selected for the best quality harvest and malted using European methods to produce a fine North American continental Pilsen malt. Expect balanced flavor with malty, subtle honey, bready and cracker notes without any grassy or harsh character.
Synergy Select Pilsen Malt grown in the flood-irrigated plains of the Bighorn Basin of northern Wyoming.
The second malt we are launching is our Carapils® Copper Malt, which brings color and flavor to the iconic Briess Carapils® Malt. This unique dextrine-style malt adds body, foam retention and beer stability, while also adding graham cracker and candy-like notes and copper to red hues. The non-fermentables in Carapils® Copper Malt are advantageous in balancing body and enhancing the color and flavor depth of dark colored beers. This unique dark dextrin-style malt provides color hues and balanced flavor notes between those of caramel, kilned and dry roasted malts. In beer at low usage rates, it provides copper color with limited flavor impact and some improvement to body, mouthfeel and head retention. At higher usage rates, it contributes balanced red colors and malt flavor notes. It shows complex toast, toffee and burnt sugar flavors at very high usage rates.
Pictured left to right: Carapils® Copper Malt used at 10% and 30% in an otherwise all-brewers malt beer.

Home›Visit tips›Museums›A Roman museum enshrined in the recently restored Baths of Diocletian
A stone's throw from the Termini Station, all the hustle of the living city calms down and lets the senses awaken at the Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano. One of the four seats of the National Roman Museum instituted 127 years ago, on the 7th February 1889, this complex is a refined haven nestled in the imposing remains of the Baths of Diocletian, the largest baths complex of Ancient Rome, opened to the public in 2014 after the recent restoration works lasted 6 years.
The entrance garden of the Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano, Rome.
The sound of the footsteps in the yielding gravel blends in the gush of the water, while walking across a gate, an arbor laying on columns, among fragments of ancient sculptures, a beautiful fountain, lush trees and so high palms: this is the garden which embraces the visitor entering the Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano.
The 6 years long restoration process, officially ended in 2014 to celebrate the bimillenial of Augustus' death, restituted to visitors a widened visit path enriched with multimedia and educational materials. This is also a path trough History: it develops from the remains of Ancient Rome, that are the newly accessible majestic spaces of the Baths of Diocletian like part of the Natatio (the big open-air pool) and the adjacent Aula VIII, then through the Renaissance Chiostro piccolo della Certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Chiostro grande di Michelangelo together with the Giardino dei Cinquecento, finally up to the three floors of the 19th century museum building.
The interior of the Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano, Rome.
Aula X of the Baths of Diocletian, Museo Nazionale delle Terme di Diocleziano, Rome. The wide spaces of the "Grandi Aule" (grand halls) such as the Aula VIII, Aula X and Aula XI, were organized with different functions around the central area of the baths.
This composite museum displays various gatherings of Antiquities, including one of the richest and important collections of epigraphs in the section dedicated to the written communication in the Roman world belonging to the Museo Epigrafico (Epigraphic Section). Moreover, the Museo Protostorico (Proto-history of the Latin Peoples Section) set up at the second floor of the Chiostro di Michelangelo features the most ancient archaeological materials coming from the Latium region.
The beautiful 'chiostro grande' or 'Chiostro di Michelangelo' viewed from the Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano. The transformation of part of the baths monumental complex in monastic seat was fostered when pope Pio IV granted the Carthusian monks the care of the Terme di Diocleziano ruins around 1561. The building works for a new convent started after the act of donation of pope Clemente VIII in 1595, probably still following Michelangelo's conception although the design of the Charterhouse and the details have been attributed to Jacopo del Duca's intervention.
The wide rooms of the central complex were converted by Michelangelo Buonarroti to the building of the basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, then linked to the annexed Carthusan Monastery, which rose on the other spaces of the ancient baths, equipped with the Charterhouse and two cloisters, the "chiostro piccolo" and the imposing "chiostro grande" (also called "Chiostro di Michelangelo).
The recently restored Chiostro piccolo della Certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli. Thanks to the recent restoration works, a 16th century fresco has been discovered, painted on one of the lunettes belonging to the "chiostro piccolo". The painting represents a dead Christ supported by three angels, between pope Pio IV, first patron of the basilica and the cloister and a Cartusan monk, possibly Saint Brunone, founder of the Order.
Opening time: every day 9.00 am - 7.30 pm. Last admission at 6.30 pm. Closed Mondays; 25 December; 1 January.
Tickets: 3.50€ - 7.50€
Organization: Soprintendenza Speciale per il Colosseo, il Museo Nazionale Romano e l'Area Archeologica di Roma
Director: Rosanna Friggeri
The so-called Sepulchre of the Platorinii, rebuilt by Roberto Paribeni on the occasion of the important archeological exhibition in 1911, Aula X, Museo Nazionale Romano alle Terme di Diocleziano. The tomb was discovered in 1880 on the right bank of the Tiber river, between Ponte Sisto and via della Lungara, but it was demolished in 1883 because of the building of the Tiber embankments and most of the materials were moved to the Terme di Diocleziano. The typology of the building materials dates from the Augustan/Giulio-Claudian age and, in particular, the decoration dates back to the age of Tiberius.
Aula VIII of the Baths of Diocletian. The imposing Baths of Diocletian were one of the largest baths complex of Ancient Rome, once adorned with polychrome marbles, sumptuous mosaics and sculptures. Built between 298 and 306 AD, the baths were commissioned by Maximian as a tribute to Diocletian and spanned more than 13 hectares on the northeast summit of Viminal Hill. At the center of the xystus (garden), the main nucleus of the monumental complex was composed of various spaces as the frigidarium (cold bath), tepidarium (tepid bath) and calidarium (hot bath).

(TECH NEWS) Apple users are interested in VR but often left out. But not completely – here are some VR experiences for our iOS buds.
Why hasn't Apple shown up?
Snapchat has Spectacles, Samsung has a custom headset, Apple has… nothing? A recent study showed that 44% of iPhone users are interested in virtual reality.
Although you can download apps that work with iPhone and stick it into a cheap cardboard or plastic holder to experience VR on your iPhone, many people are wondering why Apple hasn't gotten in on the VR game yet.
We already know that smartphones show the greatest potential for the anticipated VR boom.
Apple has been branching into new areas with their music streaming services and cloud storage but hasn't made any foray into VR or AR just yet. A lot of rumors have been circulating and it's possible they are aiming to explode into the scene with their own virtual reality technology, but information has been scarce.
In a time when critics say Apple isn't innovating enough, virtual reality offers a chance for them to show that they still want to be the big name in changing how we use technology.
These apps are simple games that give you a taste of what VR games can do. Simply download and stick your phone in a viewer to become a hardboiled detective investigating a mystery or a naive explorer of a derelict hospital.
Jaunt compiles 360 video from around the web and puts it all into a shiny immersive application that lets you browse everything from nature shorts to original VR serial stories the way the robot overlords intended: three dimensionally.
These apps let you view content in VR mode. Discovery Channel and NYT are creating custom 360 video to amaze their app audience, but if you really need to see Star Wars Kittens in a whole new way, you can actually watch any YouTube video in virtual reality mode through their app.
This very, very creepy first-person ghost story was one of the most popular Google Cardboard apps but is now available on iTunes. It's free and it's terrifying. Maybe watch this one somewhere that you can scream privately.
Orbulus aggregates 360 photos. Its very simple but their interface presents all of the photos in drop-like hovering spheres. You travel from sphere to sphere simply by looking at them. Perfect for anyone that has ever had Sci-Fi teleportation fantasies. Which I assume is basically everyone.
Enjoy these iOS friendly VR experiences while we wait for Apple to (possibly) wow us with a native device.

Toxic medicine – The Economist
Snake venom is being used to cure, rather than kill
"THERE are no poisons, only poisonous doses." Thus did Paracelsus, the greatest of the alchemists, encapsulate an important piece of medical wisdom. In fact, that is only half the story, for many materials which are toxic at high doses, when used sparingly and directed at specific targets, are not merely harmless, but actually beneficial. Plant poisons, from digitalis to curare, are routinely employed as drugs. And now it is the turn of animal toxins, as researchers examine venoms secreted by snakes and lizards, to see if they, too, might be turned into treatments. Snake venom, collected from farmed reptiles, has been used to make antisera for snake bites for decades by injecting it into mammals such as sheep and horses, and collecting the antibodies thus generated.Making drugs from the venom itself, however, is a fairly new idea. But that is what Stefan Hailey of the University of Delaware and his colleagues hope to do. In a paper published recently by Toxicon, they report how a protein called eristostatin, which can be extracted from the venom of the Asian sand viper, helps people's immune systems fight malignant melanoma. Previous studies have shown that eristostatin stops melanoma cells colonising the liver and lungs in mice. Dr Hailey is trying to work out how this happens.
Eristostatin's day job is to stop victims' blood clotting and thus plugging up damaged blood vessels after a bite. By increasing blood loss, it weakens victims. The molecule does this by glomming onto cellular fragments called platelets that are crucial to the process of clotting, thus disabling them. Dr Hailey hopes to make use of this tendency to encourage the immune system to attack melanoma cells. His idea requires eristostatin to be as attracted to cancer cells as it is to platelets.
Two observations suggest it could be. One is that eristostatin has a particular affinity for melanoma cells, which presumably have a protein on their surfaces that is similar to the one which attracts eristostatin to platelets. The other observation is that when eristostatin is attached to a cell's surface it attracts the attention of T-lymphocytes. These are immune-system cells whose job is to kill other body cells that have been infected with viruses, or which have turned cancerous. If melanoma cells could, in this way, be made especially attractive to T-lymphocytes, that might clear away the tumour completely.
Dr Hailey and his colleagues used a technique called atomic-force microscopy to study the interactions between melanoma cancer cells and eristostatin. This technique allows the force required to pull the two apart to be measured precisely, to see whether there is a genuine attraction—which he found that there is.
If eristostatin does prove an effective means to treat cancer, it will join a growing stable of medicines derived from reptile toxins. Tirofiban, for instance, is a modified version of another anticoagulant—in this case from the venom of the African saw-scaled viper. It is given to people with angina, and also to those who have had heart attacks. Exenatide is the synthetic form of a hormone called exendin-4 that occurs naturally in the saliva of the Gila monster, a venomous North American lizard. It works as a treatment for type-2 diabetes because it increases insulin production in those whose blood-sugar levels are high. And captopril, a blood-vessel-relaxing agent widely used to treat hypertension, is based on teprotide, from Brazilian arrowhead vipers, which helps the other toxins in the venom circulate quickly, and thus reach their targets rapidly.
The year of the snake
There are other venom-based drugs in the pipeline, too. Crotoxin, a protein from the South American rattlesnake, though not yet approved for use, may one day be employed to treat cancers. Crotoxin seems particularly attracted to cancer cells. One portion of the molecule recognises a protein on the cell's membrane, and links to it. The other portion damages the membrane, triggering a mechanism called apoptosis which causes the cell to kill itself. Celtic Biotech, based in Dublin, is running a series of tests using this molecule on cancer patients at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris. This year, Celtic plans to try it on people with several different sorts of cancer, since the firm's researchers believe it should be effective on all solid tumours. If those trials are successful, though, they then plan to concentrate on lung cancer, the largest market.
Perhaps the most astonishing toxin-derived drug of all, however, is hannalgesin, which is made from king-cobra venom. Kini Manjunatha of the National University of Singapore is developing this substance as a pain-relieving agent. He claims it is between 20 and 200 times more effective than morphine. Moreover, unlike morphine, which is usually injected, hannalgesin can be taken by mouth. He is planning to run the first clinical trials at the end of 2013 or in early 2014.
Venom, then, is proving to be a trove of useful molecules. At a time when drug companies are struggling to develop new products, a novel source of raw materials that have been road-tested by natural selection, and merely need to be subverted from their original purposes rather than created afresh, must be welcome. It is not turning base metals into gold, as Paracelsus and his kind once attempted. But as a transformation of matter, it is surely a far more valuable trick.

What do you think of the new wav tunes? better than the midi files I loaded ten years ago? I was playing with some freeware audio editing software and....Hey I like Conan,and Naruto and what is the mystery song?.the original Godzilla theme from the 50's too much time on my hands that day.


Everybody loves Michelle Obama. That's not my opinion, it is a fact.
I know this because I have been reading her memoir, Becoming, and every time I take it out of my bag, someone tells me how much they love her – my hairdresser, who put his scissors down to stroke the glossy cover reverently, a lady next to me on the tube, almost everyone on Instagram. Two teenage girls in Starbucks, who were waiting for their toffee nut latte frappuccinos, waved at me, pointed to the book and made love-heart shapes with their hands.


First things first: I don't expect to write a new post every week. Present variables considered, the best I can hope for is to present something new every other week. I will try to include something creative in every post, if I can manage, but I will also be including a handful of updates, and maybe (if I dare) a few random thoughts as well.
Second, while I am woefully behind schedule (with regards to my summer plans), I do hope to have all parts of my MFA applications finished by summer's end, and possibly have a short story or two written as well. These, depending on how they turn out, may find their way here. If such is the case, I will add a new page on the blog (like I did for "Gamer").
Lastly, I'd like to take a moment for shameless plugging: if you enjoy or are encouraged by anything in this blog, would you please share it with any friends who you think might also enjoy it? While my first reason for writing is an enjoyment of the craft, my second is that I am striving to create a life from it. Yes I realize that attempting to write professionally is much like flying to the moon with only a bathtub, and that much of the work here is imperfect. Still, I'd ask that you please consider sharing these short, somewhat awkward attempts at writing. If nothing else, it might spur someone else to write better on a topic that I touch on.
P.S. I should state that, while some poetry I write is derived from a sort of overflow of emotions, other poems are very much written in the abstract and without any foundation in my personal experience. Simply put, do not necessarily believe that a writer is telling you exactly how they feel by what they write down. We are, above all else, very good liars (for that is what a story teller is).
In the company of Shelley — Imagined primarily from considering the differences from older forms (primarily from the romantics) and the current form of 'Spoken Word.' In no way am I antagonizing S.W.. If I was, I would be far more direct.
I confess, I don't want to just conform.
A sordid mess, that self-centered haiku.
When did the loftiest form roll in the mud?
Such vivid shades of Brown! Better on you.
The romantic greats like marble gods!
Their eyes fixed out, their hearts awash in light.
A world alive and heightened by a verse.
Allowed to sing, to dance, to fly, then die.
In the company of Shelley I will stay.
Doormat — This piece is a tad more recent that some of the other works I've posted. The effort was create a sort of energetic flow in the lines. You can decide on the success or failure of the attempt for yourself.
That's how I feel sometimes.
He'll help once more, its fine.
Until I start to break.
No plans of mine to catch.
1. There will likely not be any new stories posted for some time. My prose work will, for the next half year or so, be entirely focused on preparing a portfolio for my MFA applications.
2. That said, there will hopefully be poetry, and maybe a rant or two thrown in for good measure (because I can't seem to avoid such for very long).
3. Also, I do plan to try and create some fashion of regularity to my posting, but that isn't certain yet. I will need to first figure out what I plan on showing to you all.
So there you have it– a game plan for what will hopefully be a slightly more active summer. All that remains now is to give you a poem or two, so….
Sonnet 1: From Bleeding Side— This particular poem was my first weak attempt at sonnet form. I fully admit to the somewhat bland imagery– a flaw that my friend Laura was quick to point out almost two years ago.
Maker, I call myself, instead of one who's made.
While cry I more from wounds that grew out of my blade.
What king am I? Whose land is built beyond the night.
A hollow shell until my eyes You chose to light.
A grace to see, to tell, and then at last to mean.
With art from bleeding side my hope did He create.
Silence— Silence belongs to the category of poem fragments. They often are incomplete, but this particular one managed to feel adequate without having too complex a meaning.

Why do people have faith in what they cannot see? Author Elaine Pagels explores the concept of religious belief, and shares her own experience with finding faith in the face of tragedy, in her new book, "Why Religion?" Jeffrey Brown caught up with Pagels at this year's Miami Book Fair.
Nick Schifrin:
Why do people with faith believe? And how can they hold onto that faith?
Jeffrey Brown recently spoke with Princeton University Professor Elaine Pagels at the Miami Book Fair about her new book, "Why Religion?" — a personal story of faith overcoming tragedy.
Jeffrey Brown:
What is this book? How do you describe it, because you are a well-known for scholarly books. This is something different.
Elaine Pagels:
This is something I never thought I would do. And I don't think there is a genre for it. Some people call it memoir because a lot — it is first-person, but it really isn't just that. I didn't want to do just that.
I wanted to interweave the life and the work and show how the work comes out of very specific issues, and just talk in a very much more personal way.
That's why I ask, because it is memoir-like.
Very much so.
I have always have written history. And I love to do that. I mean, it has been really fun. And I am still doing it.
But this was an attempt to go back and deal with issues that I had to deal with personally, you know…
… personal losses that had come up so intensely, that I couldn't deal with them at the time, and the way that they are really a part of the story.
Part of the story in your early years is of you coming from a more secular background…
… but discovering religion in an old-fashioned, traditional way, through Billy Graham, right, going to hear him speak.
Well, that will surprise people. There are some evangelical groups who have called me Elaine Pagan.
Because they think I don't really engage that kind of thing.
But the tradition, my parents — well, it was kind of culturally Protestant, but my father had no use for religion. And we sometimes went to a church that was essentially boring. But the encounter with a Billy Graham crusade was powerful emotionally.
And, also, it was very challenging. So I found it like a breakthrough. I sort of plunged at that point, at the age of 14, going on 15, into an evangelical group briefly because it was powerful experience, and then I left it after a year, and just thought, well, I am done with that.
And years later, maybe four or five years, I felt, wait a minute, what was it about that that was so powerful? So I went back and I wanted to find out how the Christian movement started and who was Jesus.
And then, of course, the story gets much more complicated and interesting, because all of these secret gospels we never knew about emerged.
Yes, which is the subject that you came out to the world with, and we got to know you.
Yes. And it does make us all aware, much more critically, of the kind of teachings you find in various churches, because now you know that that is only a small stream of Christianity from a much wider range of sources.
Another part of the personal story, though, that comes along the way is the up-front sexism in the university you encountered, you know, the criticism, of course, even disdain, for some of the original work.
It is a minor note in the story, but it is part of what anyone would have encountered at that point in graduate school, any woman.
Let me correct that, any woman would have encountered. And many did.
So, it is just — it's not that it is unique. It was just typical.
So, in the most personal sections of the book, the tragedy of the loss of your son…
… born with a rare condition, so that you knew he would die early only.
Mm-hmm. We did — well, from the age of 2. I mean, he was born with a heart condition. We thought that was repaired. But from the time of 2, we knew that he wouldn't live long.
And that's very hard to live with. He was our only child.
How hard was it to go back and write?
Excruciating. That's why it took me 28 years to do it. I never thought I would.
But, you know, there is something about those experiences that they don't just go away, unless you engage them and allow them to emerge. So, finally, when my children were out of the house, because we adopted two children, I had to go back and look at it.
Soon after your son's death, your husband is killed in an accident.
Yes. It was just…
Climbing.
… a mountain climbing accident. And he had climbed for all the 22 years we were married, so never thought about it.
But it was — it was traumatic.
You are writing about at that time not feeling so close to any sense of particular faith that might help you, but you clearly had to look for what could help you.
I was thinking of William James and his famous book "The Varieties of Religious Experience." And he writes in that book of how he went into a deep depression.
I wasn't in a — that kind of depression. At a certain point, he would cling to sayings like, the lord is my refuge, he said, like a drowning man in the ocean clinging to a log. He said, I didn't believe it at the time, but it sort of kept me from drowning.
And I had to keep exploring. And the work became a kind of yoga that I love and that I engage in now in so many ways.
Well, what did you learn? And how long did it take you to learn it?
Well, I wouldn't have written the book if I could answer that in a sentence.
But one of the things that just amazes me is how resilient human beings are, the people things live through, that they think they can't.
And what happened here is unusual, but what happens to many other people is even more, you know, excruciating, when they deal, for example, with violence, which I didn't.
So I am amazed at how we do those things. And the question is how. I mean, how do we heal? And that is what this book is about.
Do you buy the idea of getting past the grief, or is it living with the grief?
People say, how did you ever get over it?
And I say what, makes you think I am over it?
I think you get through it. That doesn't mean it is over. But it also means that you are not clinging to it or stuck. And that is a big help.
You probably have people often asking you for advice, like, what should I do, what should I practice, what should I — what do you tell them, though?
Well, I think they should go to some practitioner of this — of these various traditions.
I mean, I think about the Gospel of Thomas, which says, if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
I don't think there is a single answer to that. Some people find their home in some deeply orthodox traditional, like Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, or Ethiopian Orthodox. And others would find that stifling and would rather be Christian Scientists. I mean, I think — or Jews, or whatever.
What do you hope people will take from your book as they read your more personal story?
One is that we can live through a lot more than we can possibly imagine we can survive. I never thought I could survive what happened. I wasn't sure I wanted to. But it is amazing to be able to do that.
And, second, that these religious traditions may have some deep values, that you don't have to throw it all away because you disagree with certain ideas, because you don't believe in X, Y, and Z, not that I advocate that so much.
But I do think, for me, it is enormously important to have a sense of a spiritual dimension in life.
All right, the new book is "Why Religion?: A Personal Story."
Elaine Pagels, thank you very much.

[OPINION] Ode to a scholar-athlete dying young
Jun 10, 2021 1:03 PM PHT
Ed Garcia
Graphic by Raffy de Guzman
'No apologies are enough. Actions are required.... Ban the use of landmines, now!'
Kieth Absalon will best be remembered as a member of a football team that made history by winning the UAAP HS Football Championship for one whole decade, from 2011 to 2020.
Never before and perhaps never again can this incredible feat be replicated.
Kieth, the staunch all-around scholar-athlete, started as a striker, took on the role of wingman, was a bruising defender, and because of his ball handling prowess was designated midfielder of the FEU Baby Tams squad.
Midfielder with a mission
It was this midfield position, the link creating the flow between defense and offense, where Kieth excelled in. He was the key member in the team, helping create scoring possibilities for others, which his coaches noted early in his development. He was named UAAP Season 78 Most Valuable Player, named Best Midfielder in Seasons 79 and 81, and selected regularly as a member of the Mythical Eleven. He was thus recognized as among the most promising booters in the country.
Kieth was the youngest ever recruit to the Tams team as a grade schooler, and played multiple positions in the UAAP champion team from 2013 to 2019. His dream was to be a midfielder for the Philippine Azkals. He represented the Philippines in the 2018 AFF Under-19 tournament in Indonesia, and had the skills, the strength, and the stamina to emulate the example set by some of his elder Tamaraw brothers like Paolo Bugas to represent his country in international tournaments.
Selfless playmaker with a high football IQ
Chester Gio Pabualan, his teammate of almost a decade and a roommate at the FEU Diliman quarters, remembers him as a loveable companion, a reliable friend and the "playmaker" in the squad. Kieth's skill in moving the ball with short passes or sudden runs, his capacity to distribute it instinctively to the wingmen or the attacking forwards, was legendary. Equally valued was his readiness to defend and to prevent opposing strikers from shooting for goal. Kieth was a total football player with a high football IQ.
John Renz Saldivar recalls Kieth as the boy who worked hard, was dead-serious in his drills, and always performed his best during the games – one game at a time – giving honor to his number 10 jersey in green and gold.
Kieth came from humble beginnings and had to endure the rigors of practice and the discipline of the sport from a young age. Master Kim, his first coach at FEU, was a tough taskmaster who did not mince words and had his team running at the break of dawn, practicing before the early morning bell for class, and heading back to the playing fields for scrimmage soon after classes ended.
Kieth's AQ (adversity quotient)
Coach Bae Bo, his present Korean coach and soft-spoken mentor of the last several years, instilled iron-clad discipline in the team and required high footballing standards. Indeed, the boy Kieth excelled with a high AQ (adversity quotient) as he battled against the odds, with a background less comfortable and more demanding than the ones enjoyed by his opponents from other schools. From a young age, he knew the meaning of struggle and survival!
My time as consultant on the formation of scholar-athletes at the school coincided with Kieth's ascendance as a bright footballing star who kept his feet planted on solid ground. During our team-building sessions at the athletic office in Diliman, or during informal sessions on the football pitch, I would always notice this unassuming informal leader of the squad with his shy smile and friendly demeanor. If you needed the team to come together, and lift their spirits up to prepare for crucial games, one could rely on Kieth. Just as I considered other scholar-athletes in the diverse teams I worked with as part of one's family who always had each other's back, I considered him like my own son. It is the reason why I take his death as a personal loss.
At the time of his death, he was enrolled at the school's Institute of Education, aiming for a Bachelor of Science Degree in sports science and management. But life has a strange way of upending our dreams.
Kieth Absalon, FEU booter and former UAAP MVP, dies in Masbate blast
A chronicle of a promise cut short
Masbate has become some sort of "no-man's land." Violence and armed conflict take place with impunity and human life has become cheap. Combined with improvised explosive devices and other weapons wielded either by combatants or criminals to intimidate or kill people on different sides of the political divide, innocent civilians who pursue normal activities like biking to the next town (as they were doing that fateful day of June 6 to visit relatives) or roaming the roadsides can at times become victims of a deadly cycle of violence.
The case of Kieth and his cousin Nolven, a trade-union leader of workers in an electrical cooperative in Masbate, whose bike's front tire hit the trip wire that detonated the deadly device, are gruesome testimonies of senseless deaths that could have been avoided. Landmines have no place in a civilized society. They cause senseless deaths in the scourge of violence that brings about a total disregard for the sanctity of human life.
The FEU Men's team where he played as part of the starting XI even as a rookie in the disrupted UAAP season mourns his loss. At the same time, the country's football community share in the grief: they have lost a player of outstanding talent who could have proudly flown the Philippine colors as a member of the country's XI in international contests abroad.
CPP-NPA takes responsibility for killing of labor leader, UAAP football player in Masbate
Ban the use of landmines, now!
The deaths of the Absalon cousins are not the first, but our prayer is that they be the last.
The NPA Bicol command has apologized for the deaths of these innocent lives, which they had caused. In the name of the people, the NPA wage their war, or so they claim. But, it is the people – the civilians caught in the crossfire – who often are the principal victims in this war that sees no end.
No apologies are enough. Actions are required. The use of improvised explosive devices serving as anti-personnel landmines, some of which are victim-detonated, are never acceptable. They are absurd, and show the futility of indiscriminate violence which takes place in situations of armed conflict.
Prohibited by international humanitarian law (IHL), their use violates the 1997 Ottawa Accords banning the use of landmines. Moreover, it is a violation of the commitment of the parties to the conflict to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Respect for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights as well as provisions of International Humanitarian Law.
There is only one imperative. Stop the use of landmines, now!
Robredo on blast killing Absalon cousins: 'Land mines are murder'
End the armed conflict!
Moreover, the interminable armed conflict in our midst, which has witnessed numerous victims, a majority of whom are innocent civilians (what the IHL calls persons "dehors de combat" – those not engaged in the armed conflict), has to stop. What is needed today, sooner rather than later, is a negotiated political settlement bringing the parties to the conflict to the negotiating table. We have to put an end to more than half a century of bitter fighting – soon, even before the electoral season begins in 2022 and another round of potential violence erupts in our midst, including in provinces which have become hotbeds like Masbate.
Even now, the red-tagging in the context of the Anti-Terror Law presently contested before the Supreme Court has caused numerous deaths, especially among those who defend the impoverished in our midst. We thus see a long list of our best, bravest, and brightest killed: human rights defenders, lawyers, journalists and media practitioners, cause-oriented advocates. Simply because they dare to think differently, they have been targeted by trigger-happy members of the armed forces and the national police, who feel protected by the powers that be in the present climate and culture of impunity which prevails in our land.
"Ode to an Athlete Dying Young"
Allow me to share a personal story that begs to be told. When our own son, Rogifort Acuna, died at the age of 21 in the act of saving his mother and youngest brother Renzo from certain death in a tragic accident nearly three decades ago, I recall citing A.E. Houseman, the poet who penned the "Ode to an Athlete Dying Young," when I was asked to speak about our son in the school chapel.
Rogifort was a scholar who received the posthumous Magis award from his high school alma mater, and a candidate for magna cum laude at the Department of Chemistry of the University of the Philippines, where he was a few months away from graduating.
His passion was playing basketball, and his lanky frame – nearly 6 feet tall – made amends for his awkward athleticism. But still he liked to be considered an athlete, perhaps more than as a scholar. Thus, I recited these lines from Houseman which I deem relevant even now:
"The time you won your town the race,
We chaired you through the market place.
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder high.
"Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town….
"Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honors out,
Runners whom renown outran,
And the name died before the man…"
Farewell, Kieth.
Be brave, Kieth.
Watch over your loved ones and the young people in our land who love to play, sing, and dance, and, yes, bike. – Rappler.com

Ice Cream Maker Improves Route Accounting and Inventory Control Systems
Blue Bell Ice Cream is the third best selling ice cream in America. After facing out-of-date inventory control systems, trouble with old, bulky, and heavy printers, and an inventory control process that required overhaul due to increasing time and error costs, they turned to Zebra to aid in a complete solution. Zebra enhanced the company's operational efficiency through various solutions.

Blue Bell Ice Cream is the third best selling ice cream in America. With its sales region stretching from Arizona up to Kansas City, across to Charlotte, North Carolina, and extending to everything south of that boundary, the 101 year-old company has a lot of ground to cover. In order to do so efficiently, Blue Bell Creameries is committed to evaluating its day-to-day operations.
Specifically, Blue Bell management acknowledged that its route accounting and inventory control systems were significantly out of date. "The route accounting system was DOS-based. You can't buy hardware that runs DOS, so we had to buy new handhelds and have software rewritten. In addition, the printers we were using in our trucks were 10 to 15 years old," says Charles Gaskamp, information technologies manager at Blue Bell Creameries. Indeed, the company's printers alone were problematic—they were bulky and heavy, and took up a great deal of space in the trucks.
Blue Bell's inventory control processes also required an overhaul because the legacy system was outmoded and too costly in terms of time and errors. According to Gaskamp, "Our inventory control was primarily still manual. We wanted to implement an automated barcode system that would allow us to track raw goods from the time they were received at the plant, through the production process."
The ice cream company realized that the key to a successful operation was simplicity; if devices were overly complicated and drivers and operations managers could not understand them, any steps to update the company's system would be useless. Finding a solutions provider with excellent customer service was also essential. Blue Bell wanted a partner that would guide the company through the transition of updating its systems, assist with any technical problems, and continue to be a partner for all of its printing and inventory needs.
These major criteria, plus the knowledge that Zebra Technologies could provide a superior and customisable handheld wireless printing device and a barcode system for inventory control, led Blue Bell Creameries to choose Zebra Technologies as its business partner and solution provider. Together, Zebra Technologies and Blue Bell applied these technologies to improve the ice cream company's route accounting and inventory control systems.
Zebra Technologies has provided Blue Bell Creameries with a complete solution that enhances the company's operational efficiency while maintaining the all-important ease-of-use ideal. Drivers now use Zebra's RW 420™ mobile printers, equipped with updated software and Bluetooth® connectivity technology, while Blue Bell's four production facilities and several of its distribution facilities are outfitted with Zebra Z4Mplus™ industrial/commercial printers. Drivers process transactions via their mobile printers. The Zebra Z4Mplus processes print requests throughout the facilities, thereby improving processes for receiving, identifying and tracking incoming goods.
The RW 420 is an essential tool for drivers and makes it easy for them to load media quickly while servicing their routes. As Gaskamp points out, "A printer is a key part of the driver's life. He prints invoices in every store he enters. At the end of the day when he returns, he will print his load sheets, along with a recap of every sale made that day. During the day, he also can print out a list of inventory left on his truck at any given time. This is what makes the RW 420 printer so important. It facilitates many of the duties that a driver has to do every day. Its Bluetooth capability allows the driver to do his work quickly and efficiently, without repeated trips back and forth between stores and truck."
Zebra customised the mobile printers to meet Blue Bell Creameries' needs. Printers have been outfitted with the Blue Bell logo, as well as a special vehicle mount inside the delivery trucks.
"In our production and distribution centres, the Zebra Z4Mplus printers allow for much greater efficiency and accuracy in the inventory control system," said Gaskamp. The printer is used to identify each pallet in the facility by item, lot, and quantity. Combined with Blue Bell Creameries' new barcode scanning project in which pallets are scanned as they come into and move around the facility, the Z4Mplus helps Blue Bell track items and lot control items more easily than ever before.
However, Zebra Technologies' service as a complete solution provider does not end with its printers. Blue Bell Creameries and Zebra Technologies have entered into a business partnership such that Zebra is now the creamery's one-stop shop for all of its printing supply needs, from printers to ink cartridges to label media and tags.
With the new bar coding system, we now have much tighter control of inventories. We track everything from raw ingredients to finished products. The system more than pays for itself in inventory reduction and cost control.
Charles Gaskamp, Information Technologies Manager,
Blue Bell completed the overhaul of its route accounting and inventory control systems in just 18 months. While the upgrade was an investment of time and resources for the creamery, it was a wise one that the company knows will yield high returns. Already, the route accounting system has improved dramatically, saving drivers time and increasing their productivity.
Drivers have also responded well to the RW 420 printers, saying that they are fast, yet incredibly rugged and reliable. "The printers are so durable that I've even tried throwing one against the wall to see if it would break and it still works fine," said Gaskamp. "Plus, they are so easy to handle and the battery life is very long. Our drivers have not reported a single problem with the batteries while on their routes."
On the warehouse side, the Z4Mplus printers have enabled Blue Bell Creameries to increase efficiency and track inventory more accurately through the supply chain. Says Gaskamp, "With the new bar coding system, we now have much tighter control of inventories. We track everything from raw ingredients to finished products. The system more than pays for itself in inventory reduction and cost control."
Blue Bell Creameries' technology transformation had minimal disruption on the company's day-to-day operations. Gaskamp reports that the transition has been practically seamless, causing no interference with quality of product or service. He attributes this partly to the quality of the Zebra products and their ease of integration into Blue Bell's processes, but also to the high level of service Zebra delivered in working with the creamery to roll out the technology and ensure the transition went smoothly. "That was a key element to our success," notes Gaskamp.
As a result, Blue Bell Creameries and Zebra Technologies have been forging ahead with their business relationship. Blue Bell continues to hone its reputation as a maker of high quality ice cream products while, at the same time, updating its methods for delivering products to customers. As Jim Kruse, controller at Blue Bell Creameries, concludes, "We still make ice cream the old fashioned way, and now we do it using advanced technology solutions that include Zebra's innovative on-demand printers."

Johanna Beck (* 1983) ist eine deutsche Autorin und ehemalige Sprecherin des Betroffenenbeirats der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz. Sie setzt sich für Reformen und Erneuerung ihrer Kirche ein. Dabei liegt ihr Fokus auf der Aufarbeitung des sexuellen Missbrauchs in der katholischen Kirche. 2022 wurde ihr Engagement mit dem Herbert-Haag-Preis ausgezeichnet.

Leben und Wirken
Johanna Beck studierte nach dem Abitur an einem katholischen Mädchengymnasium zunächst Literaturwissenschaft und Geschichte an der Universität Würzburg. 2018 nahm sie ein Fernstudium der Theologie an der Domschule Würzburg auf. Sie ist Referentin zu den Themen Missbrauch und die Rolle der Frauen in der Kirche und veröffentlicht Texte zu theologischen und kirchenpolitischen Fragen.

Als Mädchen und Jugendliche war sie übergriffigem Verhalten und sexuellem Missbrauch durch einen Pater in der extrem konservativen, engelwerk-nahen kirchlichen Gruppe Katholische Pfadfinderschaft Europas (KPE) ausgesetzt. Nach dem Abitur trat sie aus der KPE aus. Sie trennte sie sich zunächst auch von der katholischen Kirche und kehrte nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes zu ihr zurück. Bevor sie unter ihrem echten Namen über die Übergriffe sprach, schrieb sie  – aus Angst vor dem Täter, dem Engelwerk und negativen Reaktionen aus ihrem Umfeld unter dem Pseudonym Madame Survivante – ein Blog, um die konsequente Aufarbeitung sexualisierter Gewalt in der Kirche zu thematisieren. 2020 begann sie unter ihrem echten Namen aktiv zu werden und bewarb für den Betroffenenbeirat der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz.

Sie engagiert sich für die Aufarbeitung sexuellen Missbrauchs in der katholischen Kirche und ist seit November 2020 Sprecherin des Betroffenenbeirats der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz. In ihrer Funktion als Sprecherin des Betroffenenbeirats arbeitet sie seit 2021 beim Synodalen Weg mit. Johanna Beck ist Mitglied im Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken und seit 2019 in der Bewegung Maria 2.0 engagiert.

2022 äußerte sie sich entsetzt über die Anerkennung der Katholischen Pfadfinderschaft Europas (KPE), der sie aus eigener Erfahrung Missbrauch in einem Zeltlager im Bistum Würzburg vorwarf, durch die Bischofskonferenz.

Johanna Beck hat den Priester angezeigt, der sie und andere Mädchen sexuell missbraucht hat. Der betreffende Ordensmann ist im Bistum Salzburg tätig und darf keine Exerzitien in der Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart mehr abhalten. Strafrechtlich waren die Fälle verjährt. Beck erzählte in einem Interview mit dem Magazin der Katholischen Kirche Stuttgart: "Bis heute bringen viele Verantwortliche den Tätern und der Institution mehr Empathie entgegen als den von Missbrauch Betroffenen. Es darf einfach nicht sein, dass ein Ordensmann, der sich des Missbrauchs schuldig gemacht hat, einfach an eine andere Stelle in ein anderes Bistum verschoben wird. Die Kirche muss dafür Sorge tragen, dass es keine weiteren Opfer geben kann." Im Jahr 2021 machte Beck eine Zeugenaussage bei der Kommission sexueller Missbrauch der Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart und wartet (Stand 2021) auf eine offizielle Mitteilung. Beck kritisiert, dass sie bei dem Offizialat keine Anklage gegen den Ordensmann einreichen, sondern nur eine Zeugenaussage machen konnte. Laut Kirchenrecht wird das Verfahren als ein Verstoß gegen den Zölibat gewertet und nicht als Verstoß gegen die Würde und die sexuelle Selbstbestimmung eines Menschen.

Ihre Lebensgeschichte hat Johanna Beck in ihrem Buch Mach neu, was dich kaputt macht. Warum ich in die Kirche zurückkehre und das Schweigen breche verarbeitet. Für ihr Engagement gegen den Machtmissbrauch in der Kirche wurde Johanna Beck mit dem Herbert-Haag-Preis 2022 in Luzern ausgezeichnet.

2022 bat die Katholische Pfadfinderschaft Europas in einer E-Mail an Beck um Entschuldigung für sexuellen Missbrauch, den sie als Kind in der KPE durch einen Priester des Engelwerkes erlitten hatte. Beck bezweifelte, dass sich die KPE nachhaltig geändert habe. Der Priester war 2022 weiter unter Auflagen im Amt.

Beck lebt mit ihrer Familie in Stuttgart.

The first reason is, millennials' expectations for work is different than the ones of the previous generations and will be discussed in this article. The second reason is discussed in "Most millennials will never retire - The nature of work will change".
For years there has been debate about whether or not developed economies can afford having the kind of pension schemes for millennials that the previous generations have built for themselves. The short answer to this is probably "No, not with the current sort of politicians in power", but stating the obvious misses the whole point of reflecting whether contemporary pension schemes will be needed in the first place. The current retirement ages in the EU vary between 58 and 67 years of age and they are expected to rise to 61-72 years of age by 2050. The numbers seem high at first, but to put them in perspective you need to know what the people subject to these retirement ages expect from their work.
The 2016 Deloitte Millenial Survey presents many insights that allow drawing a hypothesis about why pension schemes could, if not become completely irrelevant, at least be significantly changed from their current forms. Millennials think that values that support business success in the long term are people treatment, ethics and focus on customers. Interestingly, only 5% of the millennials considered profit-focused values to ensure long-term business success. When excluding salary and other financial benefits, millennials answered that the four most important reasons for choosing to work for an organisation are good work/life balance, opportunities to progress/be leaders, flexibility (remote working, flexible hours), and the sense of meaning from your work. Furthermore, 77% of the respondents consider themselves being in control of their career paths.
The hypothesis Deloitte's insights let us draw is that millennials don't work only for making a living, but largely because they enjoy what they do and what they're good at, and they believe in the organisation and its positive impact on its customers. If this was the case, why would millennials stop working just because they hit a certain age? The idea is absurd, especially when taking into account the nature of work in the future!
Luckily, we don't have to wait until the first millennials reach the retiring age to validate this hypothesis. It's enough to have a look at political leaders, senior executives and members of the boards of directors of large enterprises, musicians, actors, authors etc. Many of them have passed whatever the retiring age in their countries is, they could afford to stop working and still they continue without plans to retire. They continue because they love what they do and they have a call for it. Maestro Ennio Morricone is the embodiment of this. For the past 60 years he has composed music and still continues doing so at the age of 88 without any signs of stopping. Contrarily, he started concert tours in 2001 (at the age of 73) with a symphony orchestra and polyphonic choir and continues also touring still today!
My conclusion is that in the future decades it isn't reasonable to expect people to stop doing what they enjoy just because they turn a certain age. The question is then whether it is realistic to expect every millennial to be physically and mentally fit to continue working at high ages. To be able to answer this, you need to know what the future work will be like.

Луи́ () — уезд провинциального подчинения провинции Хэнань (КНР).

История
Ещё когда эти земли входили в состав царства Чу, здесь был учреждён уезд Кусянь (苦县). Во времена диктатуры Ван Мана уезд был переименован в Лайлин (赖陵县), но при империи Восточная Хань ему было возвращено название Кусянь. Когда в 196 году император Сяо-ди дал Цао Цао титул Упинского хоу (武平侯), то эти места были ему дарованы в качестве удела.

При империи Цзинь в 337 году вместо уезда Кусянь были образованы уезды Фуян (父阳县) и Упин (武平县). В эпоху Южных и Северных династий уезд Фуян был переименован в Гуян (谷阳县).

При империи Суй в 596 году уезд Упин был переименован в Луи. В 617 году уезд был захвачен восставшими крестьянами, которые переименовали его в Вочжоу (涡州县). После установления империи Тан крестьянское восстание было в 620 году подавлено, и уезду было возвращено название Луи.

При империи Тан было объявлено, что династия берёт своё начало от Лао-цзы, и потому место его жизни стало объектом особого внимания. В 666 году уезд Гуян был переименован в Чжэньюань (真源县), в 689 году — в Сяньюань (仙源县), в 705 году — вновь в Чжэньюань.

При империи Сун в 1014 году уезд Чжэньюань был переименован в Вэйчжэнь (卫真县); вместе с уездом Луи он вошёл в состав области Бочжоу (亳州). После монгольского завоевания уезд Вэйчжэнь был в 1265 году присоединён к уезду Луи.

В 1949 году был образован Специальный район Хуайян (淮阳专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. В 1953 году Специальный район Хуайян был расформирован, и уезд перешёл в состав Специального района Шанцю (商丘专区). В 1958 году Специальный район Шанцю был присоединён к Специальному району Кайфэн (开封专区), но в 1961 году был восстановлен. В 1965 году был создан Специальный район Чжоукоу (周口专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. В 1969 году Специальный район Чжоукоу был переименован в Округ Чжоукоу (周口地区).

Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 8 июня 2000 года были расформированы округ Чжоукоу и городской уезд Чжоукоу, и образован городской округ Чжоукоу.

1 января 2014 года уезд Луи был официально выведен из состава городского округа Чжоукоу и подчинён напрямую властям провинции Хэнань.

Административное деление
Уезд делится на 4 уличных комитета, 13 посёлков и 7 волостей.

Экономика
Уезд является крупным центром по производству кистей для макияжа.
