People protesting against CAA and NRC in Bengaluru on Saturday.
People stage protest against CAA, NRC in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], Jan 4 (ANI): People gathered outside Town Hall here on Saturday to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Speaking to ANI, Sasikanth Senthil, a former IAS officer, said, "The act is completely unconstitutional and has to be withdrawn immediately. It is a biased act and it cannot survive in the country."
He alleged that the Centre wants to pit the majority against the minorities and gain the votes of the majority.
"Power is their only requirement and they are not bothered about the country," Senthil said.
Nation-wide protests have been taking place against the CAA, which grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
Several states including Punjab, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Kerala have opposed the law, saying that they would not implement it.
A resolution demanding the withdrawal of the amended citizenship law was recently passed in the Kerala Assembly. (ANI)

Heroic News: "World's oldest woman has 73 grandchildren" plus 4 more
World's oldest woman has 73 grandchildren
Will slippery slope of 'end of life planning' lead Medicare to cover assisted suicide?
Let's tell the truth about vaccines
Theology of the Body vs. eugenics and genetic modification
Top psychiatrist: Transgenderism is a mental disorder
Leandra Becerra Lumbreras was reportedly born in the year Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee and has 73 great-grandchildren
Five years after it exploded into a political conflagration over "death panels," the issue of paying doctors to talk to patients about end-of-life care is making a comeback, and such sessions may be covered for the 50 million Americans on Medicare as early as next year.
After decades of ignoring the issue, Nature, the world's leading science journal, has finally acknowledged that creating life-saving vaccines from tissue from aborted human fetuses is a deeply controversial ethical issue.
"To the one, a Down syndrome child (for instance) is a genetic scandal, one who should probably be destroyed in the womb as a kind of oblation offered up to the social good and, of course, to some immeasurably remote future; to the other, that same child is potentially (and thus far already) a being so resplendent in his majesty, so mighty, so beautiful that we could scarcely hope to look upon him with the sinful eyes of this life and not be consumed."
Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a "mental disorder" that merits treatment, that sex change is "biologically impossible," and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

"…Everything around you is passing and everything is falling apart…"
Our Lady of Medjugorje September 2, 2011
August 29, 2014 A.D.
Tonight Our Lady appeared to Ivan during his prayer group meeting on top of Apparition Mountain. Pilgrims started to arrive near the statue around 6:00 p.m. and a continuous stream of pilgrims ascended the mountain right up to the time of the apparition. It was a beautiful night with the sky full of stars. Rosaries were continuously prayed until the singing began at around 8:30 p.m. Ivan then announced that we would be praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary in preparation for Our Lady's apparition. Our Lady appeared to Ivan around 10:00 p.m. and the apparition lasted over 8 minutes. The following is Ivan's description of the apparition:
"Briefly I would like to describe to you what is the most important from tonight's meeting with Our Lady. Also tonight Our Lady came to us happy and joyful. At the beginning, as always, She greeted all of us with Her Motherly greeting, 'Praised be Jesus my dear children.' After that She continued, with Her arms extended, to pray over all of us for a while. She especially prayed over all of you here who are sick. Then for a long time Our Lady prayed for peace, for peace in the world. Then Our Lady blessed all of us with Her Motherly blessing, and She also blessed everything you brought to be blessed. I also recommended all of you, all of your needs, your intentions, and your families, and especially all of you, the sick present here. After that Our Lady continued to pray for a while over all of you and then left in that prayer, in an illuminated Sign of the Cross, with a greeting, 'Go in peace my dear children.' I would especially like to emphasize that also at tonight's meeting Our Lady, for a long time, especially prayed for peace. Thank you."
Pictures from the August 29, 2014 Apparition in Medjugorje
A pilgrim knelt before the large wooden crucifix on top of Apparition Mountain hours before Our Lady's apparition tonight, August 29, 2014. Tonight, Our Lady again asked for prayers for peace, for peace in the world. This has been Her request throughout the summer and watching the daily deterioration of peace around the world, we understand from Our Lady's words that peace is greatly threatened in this time. In the early years of the apparitions in Medjugorje, there were many physical miracles and supernatural phenomenon that took place. These events confirmed to those who experienced them that Our Lady was truly appearing in Medjugorje. It was not uncommon for the villagers to see Our Lady on top of Cross Mountain below the Cross, Her veil blowing in the wind. The visionaries were pressed by many to ask Our Lady if it was truly Her that they saw. She responded:
Ivan asks Our Lady if it is really She appearing at the foot of the cross.
"Yes, it is true. Almost every day I am at the foot of the cross. My Son carried the cross. He has suffered on the cross, and by it, He saved the world. Every day I pray to my Son to forgive the sins of the world."
Tonight, in response to Our Lady's request, we should place ourselves before a cross or crucifix and plead with Jesus to forgive the world its sins. It is only through the forgiveness of our sins that we can achieve peace. This is what the world has forgotten, and because there is no true recognition and repentance of sin, there is no peace.
A beautiful late summer sky spread across Medjugorje this evening, August 29, and led pilgrims who were waiting for Our Lady's apparition to spend their time in contemplation of God's creation. Our Lady said:
"…God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature, and so many things which can only help you to understand that you must change the direction of your life…"
A Friend of Medjugorje speaks often of the need to recognize our own sinfulness and to regularly repent of our sins through Confession. He says:
"…Not acknowledging sin and denying sin leads us in the wrong direction. Living the Commandments is not simply stating, "I keep them." Living the Commandments is recognizing that often we don't keep them, that we have broken them in our lives, and that we acknowledge that we have sinned against them. That is the road to waking up, which will lead to God rescuing our nation from its present course of suicide. The recognition of what sin is and being sensitive enough to repent and confess our weaknesses will lead us towards the right direction. That is what it means to keep the Commandments. Wisdom can then be obtained of how to gain authority over wickedness."
From the writing "Troubles Befall You? How to Correct Them" by A Friend of Medjugorje
Why is it that Christians always seem to be on the losing side of every conflict in today's culture? We do not have the power of God with us because we do not stand before Him with pure, humble and repentive hearts. We must change the direction of our lives and follow the wisdom of Our Lady who said. "You will not have happiness on this earth, neither will you come to Heaven if you are not with pure and humble hearts, and do not fulfill the law of God…" February 2, 1990
The beauty of the sunset over Medjugorje tonight helps to open the heart to prayer. The youngest Medjugorje visionary, Jakov Colo, explained how Our Lady taught them how to do this, in beautiful simplicity:
"My true life began when I was ten years old, at that precise moment, when I truly experienced Jesus and the Gospa, when I felt them in my heart. The Gospa invited us to pray. She said: "Dear children, pray with your hearts, feel the joy, the peace and the peace that prayer brings. May prayer become your joy, because you cannot pray if you think that you must pray." The heart needs to feel the need to pray, then prayer will become joy."
"When the Gospa told us this, I asked myself as a child how it was possible to pray with the heart, how this should happen. I realized that prayer with the heart was a gift from God, a gift that God wishes to give everybody. I said to God and to the Gospa: "Dear God, dear Gospa, from now on I wish to pray with my heart, I wish to feel prayer in my heart, I wish to feel the joy of prayer, I wish to feel peace in prayer." Then I began to pray and, slowly, I felt the joy of prayer. I searched for a place where I could pray and I didn't find it difficult to pray anymore. We all need to ask the Gospa to help us pray with our hearts so that we may feel the beauty of prayer."

Pro-Family Group, a Recipient of International Peace Award, Targeted by Sexual Extremists
World Congress of Families Announces Postponement of Regional Event in Melbourne Amid Threats of Violence and Vandalism
Contact: World Congress of Families, 815-222-2490, media@worldcongress.org; Communications Director, 508-405-1337, dfeder@worldcongress.org
ROCKFORD, Ill., Aug. 29, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ — World Congress of Families Managing Director Larry Jacobs announced the postponement of the WCF regional event in Melbourne. Endeavour Forum will be the convener of the "Life, Family, and Freedom Conference" on Saturday, August 30 at the CTFM Auditorium.
"Radical threats of violence to speakers, participants, and organizers at three prior locations have now created a security risk for high-profile speakers such as Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke where it would be inappropriate to continue to the World Congress of Families event at a fourth venue," said Larry Jacobs.
Jacobs added: "Attacks on proponents of the natural family and marriage are part of a cynical campaign by sexual extremists to avoid an honest discussion by labelling those who disagree with them as 'hateful.'"
Unlike the protest groups targeting the World Congress of Families with threats and violence, the World Congress of Families is a recipient of an international peace award, "The Pax Urbis Award" given to institutions and cities in their work in promoting peace. 100 Cities for Peace presented this Peace Award to World Congress of Families in Madrid (2012). 100 Cities for Peace is an international movement that identifies and disseminates the practices of cities and social institutions around the world that are committed to promoting a culture of peace. The movement supports the values behind the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Jacobs continued, "Much of the commentary about the Melbourne WCF Conference has been grossly misleading as sexual extremists have launched a smear campaign alleging that the WCF's goals to affirm the dignity of human life, the sanctity of human life and the importance of the natural family as the fundamental unit of society (from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN in 1948) is hateful and bigoted towards LGBTIQ individuals and mothers."
WCF is a positive group and always welcomes a civilized public debate and discussion on key life and family issues that help increase the health and welfare of women and children, such as:
Reducing poverty by more than 90% through the promotion of marriage and mothers and fathers in the home. Adding household production to GDP calculations (See more here).
Significantly reducing breast cancer risk by teaching women about the most preventable factor of breast cancer: induced abortion. www.bcpinstitute.org/factshts.htm
Following the advice of medical experts from the National Cancer Institute to reduce women's lifetime risk for breast cancer by:
Having a first full term pregnancy at an early age;
Bearing more children; and
Breastfeeding for a longer duration.
Teaching parents to instruct their children on the 100% effective way to avoid teen pregnancy and STD's. www.alivetotheworld.co.uk andwww.abstinence.net/our-blog/abstinence-posts/i-will-not-teach-my-kids-about-safe-sex
Jacobs concluded, "The World Congress of Families looks forward to being part of a future event in Australia. Australia has always been known as the land of the fair go. The lack of tolerance towards views that are not in line with elite opinion is deeply concerning."

"Perhaps you know what that wait is like; that indefinite wait for the rest of your family to start being.

Five years, I waited for something to happen. "
The couple, who were married on June 21 this year, shared adorable pictures from their recent pregnancy photo shoot about their baby announcement through Instagram.

The Passion of St. John the Baptist
"Dear children! Pray for my intentions, because Satan wants to destroy my plan which I have here and to steal your peace. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray that God can act through each of you. May your hearts be open to God's will. I love you and bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." (August 25, 2014)
This message is a serious one. It comes at a moment when the world is tense. Fear and anxiety are washing over us. But we have been given all we need to defend ourselves from these weapons of the devil. We have been given prayer, the sacraments, Holy Mass, the Bible, forgiveness and God's peace. Our Lady's school is a defense against all of the enemy's strategies.
Jelena Vasilj once received instruction from Our Lady about how to maintain peace. There is no date on these words, but they were in the 80's when she received locutions:
To Jelena:
"Christians make a mistake in considering the future because they think of wars and of evil. For a Christian, there is only one attitude toward the future. It is hope of salvation."
"Your responsibility is to accept Divine peace, to live, and to spread it not through words, but through your life."
"The only attitude of the Christian toward the future is hope of salvation. Those who think only of wars, evils, punishment, do not do well."
"If you think of evil, punishment, wars, you are on the road to meeting them. Your responsibility is to accept Divine peace, live it and spread it"
I am especially helped by this one sentence: "The only attitude of the Christian toward the future is hope of salvation." These words of Our Lady should immediately refocus us on what our true future is… Heaven and life eternal with God. We must look up. We must look far ahead and see the place prepared for us by Jesus. That is our future. That is our joy. To live with Jesus forever in heaven is what should be in our viewfinder.
With that attitude we can face each day with strength and perseverance.

In an attempt to be included into minority groups, white people are now able to play the 'victim card' because of a new card that has been added to the traditional deck of playing cards.
Instead of having two Joker cards a pack of playing cards will now include two Victim cards instead.
Due to the recent controversy over what is considered 'racism' and what is considered 'playing the victim' it has been widely argued that white people have not been treated fairly when it comes to being oppressed by the white masses.
Paul Hanson said in an recent interview with The Gournalist: "It's totally unfair, and quite frankly, it's disgusting. Aboriginals, Muslims, Asians, and Women all get to play the victim card when we make a joke about their appearance or their culture. But what about us white folk? We feel victimised too. I mean when we…you know…get teased for…you know…when it happens…we can't do it. But thanks to the new victim card we can claim we are being victimised during poker games."
This recent change to the traditional playing deck was a reaction to the Adam Goodes booing campaign. Goodes who has recently played the victim card has made a lot of white people angry because he has feelings.
"White people need to fight for rights," Hanson said. "We feel victimised too. I mean we can't even call Muslims terrorists anymore without being criticised…I mean take a joke, hey."

Tuesday (Be honest: Peterson would help Vikings) edition: Wha' Happened?
By Michael Rand
November 11, 2014 — 9:29am
As the NFL and NFLPA slug it out over Adrian Peterson's potential reinstatement, there is logic to be found on both sides of the story when it comes to what you think of him as a human being and whether you believe he deserves another chance on the football field with the Vikings.
If you believe he has paid enough of a price by missing half this season (albeit while still cashing checks) and deserves to return to his job now that his legal case is resolved, we can find some common ground with that argument.
If you think, based on what you know, that what he is said to have done to his 4-year-old son is too much too handle and never want to see him in purple again, we can find common ground there, too.
Where we don't think there is an argument is on this point: Does Adrian Peterson, if he returns to the Vikings, make them a better football team?
Of course. Absolutely. Yes.
We have seen arguments to the contrary, that the Vikings are doing just fine with their current running attack and that they shouldn't mess with a good thing (and the development of rookie Jerick McKinnon). This much is true: Minnesota is 11th in the NFL in rushing yards and seventh in yards per carry (4.5).
The obvious counter to that is they would almost certainly be just as good or better with Peterson … not to mention that the respect he commands would open up more room in the passing game for rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater, who has never thrown a regular-season pass with Peterson in the mix.
So yes, on moral ground, there is a discussion to be had. On the field? There's no doubt Peterson would help the Vikings.

SDCC 2015: Mezco One:12 Collective – Awesome Figures, Could Use Some Focus
Mezco was actually my first stop during Preview Night (if you don't count the stop on the way at Mondo, to sneak a quick look at the 1/6 scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). I wanted to get there to get my hands on the one of the 150 One:12 Collective Batman / Mutant Leader 2-packs that was on sale for the day. I was lucky and got a set (haven't had the chance to open it yet), and asked if they had any more figures coming in the line. I was told to look around the corner.

SDCC 2015: ThreeA Toys Expands Presence at Comic-Con
In past San Diego Comic-Cons, 3A Toys has shared booth space with IDW. With the clamor for their exclusives, this has led to some funny situations. At the top of the list was the year the 3A line for exclusives wrapped around the entire IDW booth, effectively blocking out a George R.R. Martin signing for IDW. This was before his fame extended into the mainstream with the HBO Game of Thrones show, so some of the guys in line were asking stuff like, "Who is that Old Man Gimli cosplayer and why is he shaking his Sharpie at us?"
That's changed this year, with IDW helping 3A to secure nearby booth #2743 so they could have their own dedicated space. And 3A has upped their game by planning more exclusives available at the show.
One of the benefits of having his own company is that Ashley Wood gets to make what he likes. It's great fun to see what he comes with, but as his tastes have veered to more eclectic selections like the Isobelle Pascha hyper-sexualized line or forays into new scales like the 3AGO / MEGO tribute 8-inch scale, my own tendency to purchase is down. Another case in point, for the 2000 AD line, now firmly ensconced in 1/12 scale, his choices for exclusives are the Gronk from Strontium Dog, and Judge Fish from Judge Dredd.
Personally, I'd have liked to see some of the bigger hitters from 2000 AD get made, as the line has had many fits and starts. I don't think Gronk and Judge Fish will register with most Con-goers these days. Then again, Wood has never been concerned with mass market appeal for his toys.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of what Mezco has done with its One:12 Collective line – and that's having held just one production figure in hand. I'm psyched to get Judge Dredd when he becomes available later this year, but I'm even more pumped that Mezco is making an in-scale Lawmaster for him to ride down perps.
I went back to the Mezco booth yesterday to shoot a fly-by of the Lawmaster. Enjoy!

ThreeA Toys Judge Death Up for Pre-Order Now
3A Toys has held its 2000 A.D. license for several years now, but they've released figures more slowly than we'd like. In 2010, they released Tharg, followed by ABC Warriors Mongrol and Ro-Jaws in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Today's pre-order for Judge Death marks their launch into the more widely known Judge Dredd domain and their transition to the 1/12 scale for 2000 A.D. (Tharg was a 1/6 scale figure, and the ABC Warriors came in both 1/6 and 1/12 scales.)
Judge Death features a new 3A super-articulated body, fabric apps, and will come in two colorways – a standard colored version and a 3A-exclusive "classic comic" grey-scale. Both versions of the 3A Toys Judge Death are available for pre-order at Bambaland for $60 each. Dredd and Hammerstein have been teasssssssed as the next figures in the pipeline.

Fellows challenge themselves to apply their expertise to make their communities healthier and more equitable
| Submitted by: Clinical Scholars
Clinical Scholars Fellows challenge themselves to apply their expertise and outside-the-box thinking to make their communities healthier and more equitable. Here's a small sample of what they've been up to recently:
• Johanna Báez, PhD, LCSW published "When the Right Measure Doesn't Exist: A Novel Motivational Interviewing Tool for Community Programs" in the Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal.
• David Reznik, DDS was appointed as President for The AIDS Institute, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that promotes action for social change through public policy, research, advocacy, and education.
• Annie Lewis-O'Connor, PhD, NP-BC, MPH, FAAN guest-edited and curated a special issue of the Journal of Forensic Nursing, including an executive summary on the latest research on incorporating trauma-informed approaches into a wide array of health care settings.

Delivering Hope and Resources to Help Young People Thrive
Kelly McGrady, a school nurse and member of Clinical Scholars' 2017 cohort, demonstrates the importance of building trust in communities to successfully connect people with the resources they need to thrive. The story is featured on RWJF's Campaign for Nursing blog. Below is an excerpt; click here to read the full story.
Clinical Scholars Fellow and School Nurse Tackles Youth Suicide in Her Community
Kelly McGrady, a school nurse and fellow in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Clinical Scholars program, understood the hopelessness felt by the twenty youths who attempted suicide in her first month as a mentor for the New Town, North Dakota, school district. She, too, attempted suicide when she was just 8 and 15.
McGrady is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara) and a trusted leader in her community. She grew up on the same reservation as many of her students, surviving many of the same adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Unfortunately, the story McGrady and her students share is not uncommon. Forty percent of people who die by suicide in American Indian communities are between the ages of 15 and 24. Among adults ages 18 to 24, American Indians have higher suicide rates than any other ethnicity in the United States.
Determined to stop the high number of suicide attempts, McGrady teamed up with pediatrician Anita Martin, psychiatrist Monica Taylor-Desir, and social worker Leolani Ah Quin. With the support of RWJF's Clinical Scholars program, they initiated a Building Resilience, Building Health program to support youth who are at risk for suicide or who have survived a suicide attempt.
As a trusted community member, McGrady is able to amplify the impact of the program by connecting community members to the help they need, and has built a reputation as the person teens can turn to when they are in crisis.
"I will always answer a text or a call on the weekends, and I get youth help," she says. "Many of them call me Auntie Kelly because I am genuine in how I care for people, plus I make myself available."
Clinical Scholars Teams and Directors Share Their Experiences.
Knowing that health care professionals face many demands—from long hours to the emotional strain of working with people experiencing pain and trauma—we recently asked Clinical Scholars teams and program co-directors how they nurture themselves to create personal well-being and stay fresh professionally.
We're sharing their ideas to encourage all health care providers to take a minute to renew their own self-care commitments.
Individual practices
We heard a lot about how our fellows and directors take care of their bodies by exercising, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep. Building good habits is key, they said, and habits are established most effectively if you take small, satisfying steps.
Beyond the physical, they also take care of themselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For some, that means starting the day with half an hour dedicated to journaling or a personal project or taking a real break at lunchtime to recharge. For others, it means using meditation to stay present and aware of their emotions.
Reading 10 pages a day for pleasure or engaging in creative "right brain" activities can help balance the work day. "My most recent hobby is creative writing," said program co-director Claudia Fernandez. "I love writing because there's no mess, I can write on a plane, I can share my hobby with my friends, it costs nothing, and it stretches my abilities."
Getting out of the clinic and into nature came up as a strategy for nurturing, body, mind, heart, and spirit. "My self-care routine is spending time outside regardless of the weather," said pediatrician Emily Hall, a Clinical Scholars fellow and member of a Montana team.
Personal relationships
Time with others is also a vital element of self-care. "We are social beings and I believe deep, meaningful connections are essential to our well-being," said program co-director Giselle Corbie-Smith. "Yet the world we live and work in often seems at odds with this fundamental part of our humanity."
"I try to be intentional about connecting with those I care about at work and home in some way, such as making space in busy days for tea or coffee with a colleague, thinking about meeting structures that allow for exchange of ideas one-on-one or in small groups, or regular breakfasts with my middle school son," Giselle said.
Big picture views
Some program fellows also noted how important it is to think big picture about their health care systems and to infuse self-care into their workplaces.
"In our work with veterans with mental health issues, substance abuse, and PTSD, we know self-care will need to become an integral component of our organization," said physical therapist and fellow Jeremy Fletcher, whose team is in Alabama. "Our team is currently discussing our personal values and how we see these integrating into the organization. For example, we begin every team meeting with a time to express our current challenging emotions and conclude each meeting with a prayer or meditation."
A big picture perspective can also help reframe challenges for both patient and provider. "I do not carry my patients' pain for them, because I see them as strong, inherently whole, and ultimately very powerful women," said social worker Samara Grossman, a Clinical Scholars fellow and member of a Massachusetts team. "If they do not yet see themselves this way, I see it as my job to gently and patiently be their guide to that realization."
We would love to hear your thoughts. Do you see yourself in these reflections? Are there other things you do to nurture yourself?
Please share your thoughts with us by email or on Twitter, where we invite you to tag @CSPfellows and #selfcare4providers.
Supporting children and their families to build resilience can help them create different futures.

"If the police find me," Eduardo said to a classmate, "I'll get to be with my dad in prison."
Even though Eduardo is only 4 years old, incarceration already loomed large in his vision of his future.
And he is not alone. One out of every five preschoolers in his Santa Monica, Calif., school district has been identified as "at-risk" or "vulnerable" in social-emotional development, which is the foundation on which children learn to navigate the world.
Recognizing how childhood experiences like Eduardo's can impact long-term emotional and physical health, the three of us teamed up to create the Preschool Wellness Consultation (PWC) model, designed to buffer adversity and help children thrive.
We knew we needed a whole-body approach to a whole-body problem for preschoolers, their families, and their teachers. So the model integrates our expertise as a cross-disciplinary clinical team, combining psychology, social work, nursing, nutrition, and occupational therapy. We envisioned creating a supportive net that would hold not only children, families, and teachers, but also school administrators and service providers.
In the PWC model, trained mental health consultants offer tiered education and training for the entire classroom, the individual child, and the child's family, to surround each at-risk child. As a result of these early interdisciplinary interventions, children develop holistic wellness strategies that enable them to eat healthily, recognize and appropriately express feelings, and solve problems and negotiate conflicts. Their teachers and family also learn to identify and address the child's physical and developmental needs in areas such as language, vision, and dental health. Collectively, these strategies build physical and mental well-being and resilience.
Here in Santa Monica, we are putting the PWC model into practice through a local initiative called the Pinwheel Project. With coaching and support from mental health consultants, we see teachers doing a beautiful job helping children appropriately recognize and express their feelings and interact with other students. We also see teachers maintaining an attitude of curiosity and exploration as they seek to understand children's behaviors through the lens of their specific histories and current stressors. As teachers learn to respond to children's needs using a trauma-informed approach, we see positive effects rippling out to strengthen families, the rest of the school, and the wider community.
As a result of the Pinwheel Project, Eduardo's teacher has grown in her understanding of the root causes of his behaviors and is now able to help facilitate his emotional and social growth. Eduardo's mother has developed effective strategies for giving him the support he needs and is grateful for the coaching she has received. Eduardo himself has made meaningful connections with our team and appears more engaged with adults and peers alike. Additionally, a nurse, dietician, and dental service providers have coordinated much-needed treatment for an abscess that was causing him chronic pain, and have helped his mother learn how to prevent further oral health issues.
Many of us experience adversity at some point in our lives. But significant adversity in childhood can cause lasting individual and societal harm. Supporting children and their families to build resilience can help them create different futures. Eduardo provides inspiration.

The clinic offers routine supportive veterinary care and, should any emergency first-aid be required, the specialists are on-site to treat the horses. Nine specially equipped horse ambulances will also be on the venue if any horses need to be transported to the clinic. In addition to the clinic, a network of physiotherapists is on hand to keep the horses in top form, while the horses' temperatures, food and water intake, and weight are permanently monitored by their grooms and veterinary specialists.
Wolff (65), who will be working directly with Olympic Veterinary Services Manager, Brazil's Juliana de Freitas (40), has been the Brazilian Equestrian Federation's head veterinarian for the last 15 years. He was Brazilian team vet at the Seoul and Beijing Olympic Games, and runs his own practice in Sao Paolo specialising in horses competing in the three Olympic disciplines – Jumping, Eventing and Dressage – and racing.

Holiday Gift Guide 2011: Five Must-Have DVD Box Sets
©2011 Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
SMALLVILLE - THE COMPLETE SERIES
Mega sets for the TV minded including THE KIDS IN THE HALL, FUTURAMA, THE SIMPSONS, SMALLVILLE and BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES
By The Editors of ASSIGNMENT X
Posted: December 18th, 2011 / 11:00 AM
With all the Christmas songs on the radio and in the mall, corporate sponsored holiday specials taking over the airwaves and department store commercials encouraging you to BUY, BUY, BUY, it becomes harder and harder each year to find that perfect gift for someone special.
That's where ASSIGNMENT X comes in with our annual Holiday Gift Guide. We dig deep, so you don't have to and have come up with a whole slew of books, music, games, toys and more that should satisfy the pop culture addict on your gift-giving list.
So without further ado, welcome to ASSIGNMENT X's 2011 Holiday Gift Guide:
THE KIDS IN THE HALL - COMPLETE SERIES | ©2011 A&E Entertainment
THE KIDS IN THE HALL: THE COMPLETE SERIES
Suggested Retail Price: $99.95
Cool Yule Factor: The Canadian comedy troupe consisting of Dave Foley, Bruce McColloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson cranked out five hilarious seasons of their sketch comedy series that bested much of what SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE was doing through the 1990s. The closest thing to compare the series to is MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS and this quintet created memorably bizarre characters, strange catch phrases and an almost surreal outlook on the world. Cross-dressing was also a big thing with the boys. This new set also includes last year's reunion mini-series DEATH COMES TO TOWN which may not have been as funny as their feature film BRAIN CANDY, but definitely kept the anarchic spirit of the original series. Like all A&E box sets, this one is filled to the brim with interviews, audio commentary, archival footage and tons more. Now if Paramount would only release BRAIN CANDY on Blu-ray with all of those rumored deleted scenes, the KIDS IN THE HALL collection would truly be complete.
Purchase KIDS IN THE HALL – THE COMPLETE SERIES here
SMALLVILLE - THE COMPLETE SERIES | ©2011 Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
SMALLVILLE – THE COMPLETE SERIES
Cool Yule Factor: Yes, SMALLVILLE lasted 10 whopping years on TV. That's pretty impressive for a superhero series – and even more impressive was the level of quality the series attained throughout its entire run. In fact, the producers had an entire final season to plan its exit strategy and it provided some of the best episodes yet – all leading up to Tom Welling finally strapping into that suit and taking flight. You have to be Superman to lift-up this gargantuan box set that features all 218 episodes on 62 DVDs. Yes, 62 DVDs. Chances are, SMALLVILLE fans probably own the previous nine seasons, but this set is a must for all the bells and whistles that have been thrown in. (including 5 hours of new content). There's a retrospective featurette on the making of series, a great DC Comics documentary, a look back at SMALLVILLE at Comic-Con, the pilots for AQUAMAN and the 1961 ADVENTURES OF SUPERBOY. There's even footage from 2004's Paley Fest event featuring the cast and crew. The set is also lovingly packaged in two hardbound book like cases with artwork and handy sleeves, a 32-page episode guide and a replica of the DAILY PLANET newspaper created by DC. While the SUPERMAN movies petered out after the second film, SMALLVILLE stayed vital, engaging and wholly enjoyable for a solid ten years. Welling was a great Superman, but even moreso, Erica Durance transformed into one of the best Lois Lane's ever (even, dare I say, besting Margot Kidder).
Purchase SMALLVILLE – THE COMPLETE SERIES here
BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES - COLLECTOR'S EDITION | ©2011 A&E Entertainment
BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES – COLLECTOR'S EDITION
Cool Yule Factor: Arguably, picking 10 of the Greatest Baseball games in the history of baseball can be a futile task. You're not going to be able to please everyone – plus, getting access to material prior to 1960 is not going to be the easiest task. The set is heavy on post 1985 games, but it does include Game 7 of the 1960 world series as well as 1979's Wrigley Field "Slugfest". These are complete games, not highlights, and it features four games with the Boston Red Sox and three games featuring the New York Yankees. A bonus disc is included with additional interviews and other archival footage from the games featured here. This is a must for all die-hard baseball fans
Purchase BASEBALL'S GREATEST GAMES – COLLECTOR'S EDITION here
THE SIMPSONS - THE FOURTEENTH SEASON | ©2011 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
THE SIMPSONS – THE FOURTEENTH SEASON
Cool Yule Factor: Another reminder that even in those "off" years of THE SIMPSONS still provides plenty of laughs. This set from 2002 has one of the better TREEHOUSE OF HORROR's (gun toting zombies invade Springfield, 'Nuff said) and it also has such episodes as Marge getting breast implants, Lisa and Bart ending up in the same grade and Ned dating a movie star. Loads of commentaries and special features – plus you get Kang (or is that Kodos) gracing the box art for the very first time. You can't go wrong gifting THE SIMPSONS – ever.
Purchase THE SIMPSONS – THE COMPLETE FOURTEENTH SEASON here
FUTURAMA VOLUME 6 | ©2011 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
FUTURAMA VOLUME 6
Cool Yule Factor: Matt Groening's other animated series is just as inventive and dare I say, smarter, than THE SIMPSONS. It's recent resurrection on Comedy Central finds the latest DVD volume chock full of great new episodes. Bender plays heavily this season and the standout episodes include the hilarious "Law & Oracle" (Fry joins the police academy) and the season finale "Reincarnation" where FUTURAMA offers up three vignettes in three completely different animation styles. A classic to be in years to come. Deleted scenes, commentary and more round out this set for the FUTURAMA die-hard and perhaps THE SIMPSONS fans who don't realize FUTURAMA is just as good for them as Homer and the gang.

Conscientiously: Daddy, I want a golden goose!
I want a pet! After meeting Karl the caracol (named after my good friend who I met because of our pets) I felt the need to "take care" of something. My roommates of course tried to discourage my desire. It wasn't like I was asking for a dog or a horse or anything, just a small animal that is low maintenance....like a lizard! I said a lizard is really cool and we could all play with it and he would be a house pet. Robert said he could go get Karl back from the grass he put him in last night, but a snail really isn't a good pet for me, the thought of him "crawling" down my arm made me shiver. I really want a lizard!
They then made suggestions like a...snake, fish or a rat to which I replied YES, let's get one of those (except for a fish you can't really play with a fish)......of course they were trying to make me give up on the idea, but give me a break, "reverse psychology" on a former nanny? come on, it was a daily occurrence in my life for 15 years as a nanny, plus I used it quite successfully during my jobs as Executive Assistants to CEO's. Instead of dropping the subject I started to get excited and to talk about what we could name our snake (Smithers) and I told them about my brother's pet rats he had in college, and then brought home to my mothers dismay. R then confessed that he does not like snakes, and Bn hates rats.
It's a great honor, really!!!


brint uploaded tara3 ep 1 torrent on demonoid, problem is i don't have a demonoid account.
You can probably check the various other sources. I can't mention them here but it should be up on the other sites now.
Can someone send me/upload Youtube links for episode 5? My usual source has apparently moved over to Veoh, and... well, five 20MB files is easier to get than two 646MB files, if you get my drift.
Nice to be back. I sorta lurk when I have even less interesting things to say than usual.
Can anyone point me to any TARA2 episodes (as in the Marvilson season, not as in the episode the Korean brothers got eliminated ) on Youtube? I've found the two Philippines episodes, but can't seem to get any more, and stupid restrictions on this computer mean I can't download something the size of a torrent in one go .
tarfly on the wall, I will offer my opinion as to why there are no episodes of ARA2 on YouTube. They were quarantined as a result of legal action(or threatened action) by SONY, parent company of AXN. You may have to do what you are alrready aware of at this point. We are talking approximately 400 million bytes an episode.
True about the quarantine, but season 1 is up there in its entirety, and that has one as well.
Sorry for the double post, but can anyone point me to this week's episode?
Okay, this one's a little different from the usual viewing options request.
I'm going to eventually go back and finish off the recaps for TARA1 (though I'm busy with other shows and other stuff at the moment), and would like to get that Sydney episode out of the way. The Youtube copy of the episode I got a while back has bad audio for a huge chunk right in the middle, and basically makes it impossible to recap. I've found a couple of links to the episode itself on another site, but the problem is that my current internet plan blocks me from downloading individual files bigger than around 30MB. Is it possible for someone to upload it onto Youtube for me, or at least split it into smaller chunks? I can send you the links I've found, if you need them.
Peach, while you're looking, do you have season 2's Racers Revealed special?
Could I please get the links for Asia3?
I am caught up on all international seasons that I have links for.

19th-century Swedes in Roger Williams' Garden: Applying a Japanese discernment concept to a historical research project
With an awkward footnote preserving a middle-of-the-night scratch outline on how to further revise my ALPLM paper 'Swedes in Roger Williams' Garden: Acculturation in Immigrant Churches, 1848-1860.'
A useful discernment or decision-making technique I learned in a class for Dominican lay associate candidates — it's called ikigai, and I wish I'd known about it when I was going through a career change in the 1990s. Wikipedia defines it as "a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living."
Ikigai seems to be chiefly known in the West as a Japanese management and human resources concept, and it's a useful way of thinking through conundrums in life and making midcourse corrections as needed. But there's more to it than that, and I think it can be quite powerful.
So here's a product testimonial: In my case, it's helping me redirect a major historical research project and — hopefully — lift myself out of a funk that's had me listlessly doomscrolling CNN and MSNBC instead of working on it for a couple of months now. The project's about an immigrant community in the 1850s. And last year I presented a preliminary workup, a paper titled "Swedes in Roger Williams' Garden: Acculturation in Immigrant Churches, 1848-1860" (a reference to Williams' concept of separating church and state by keeping politics out of the ecclesiastical garden), at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum's annual conference on Illinois history.
But the daily news is full of parallels to the 1850s that make me think we're sleepwalking into another apocalypse — especially since the violent insurrection at the US Capitol on Jan. 6 and subsequent revelations that white Christian nationalists were heavily involved in it. It's all too depressing, and I've put the project on hold.
But as I learn more about ikigai and try to put the concept to work in my own discernment process, I'm reconsidering.
Ikigai: A focus for 'small joys in everyday life'
"Essentially," says Yukari Mitsuhashi in an explainer on the BBC website, "ikigai is the reason why you get up in the morning."
A freelance writer now living in Los Angeles, Mitsuhashi says:
To those in the West who are more familiar with the concept of ikigai, it's often associated with a Venn diagram with four overlapping qualities: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
Here's the Venn diagram:

"For Japanese however, the idea is slightly different," adds Mitsuhashi. "One's ikigai may have nothing to do with income. […] Someone's value in life can be work – but is certainly not limited to that."
Citing a psychiatrist named Mieko Kamiya, whose 1966 book (never translated into English) popularized the concept in Japan, she says the word ikigai means happiness, but with "a subtle difference in its nuance." She puts it like this:
Ikigai is what allows you to look forward to the future even if you're miserable right now.
And with that she got my attention. Mitsuhashi adds:
Hasegawa points out that in English, the word life means both lifetime and everyday life. So, ikigai translated as life's purpose sounds very grand. "But in Japan we have jinsei, which means lifetime and seikatsu, which means everyday life," he says. The concept of ikigai aligns more to seikatsu and, through his research, Hasegawa discovered that Japanese people believe that the sum of small joys in everyday life results in more fulfilling life as a whole.
But how does that align with broad attitudes like passion and mission? Marion Tilly, a certified professional career coach and founder of the Institute of You and Reflective Mind Co. of Dublin, relates it to the common Venn diagram. "The core of ikigai," she says, "can be found at the junction of your passion, your mission, your vocation, and your profession." She explains:
Your passion is what you're good at and what you love
Your mission is what you love and what the world needs
Your vocation is what the world needs and what you can be paid for
Your profession is what you can be paid for and what you're good at
In other words, our ikigai is the sweet spot where all four intersect. Tilly has a "non-exhaustive list of questions" to help us find that sweet spot. Questions like: What is the most important to you in life? What are your values and how do you use them every day? What makes you smile? How do you help others? How could you be more involved in your community? What activities do you do in your personal time? What is easy for you? What are your achievements?
Finding an amateur historian's sweet spot
At the Dominican motherhouse, we left off the bottom part of the Venn diagram — the one that asks "what can you be PAID FOR?" After all, the presentation was for people who take vows of poverty. But when I set about answering Marion Tilly's questions, I decided quickly enough I'd better put it back in.
Here's why: It was abundantly clear that my passion involves writing and historical research, and I'm pretty good at it. At least I've had articles published in regional historical magazines, and I've presented papers at Illinois state history conferences. But it was also abundantly clear — and has been for a long time — that writing for publication is largely a matter of finding a market, i.e. someone who will publish you, and tailoring what you write to their specifications.
So I put the parts about vocation and profession back in my Venn diagram and rephrased it like this: "what I can I write that I can GET PUBLISHED?"
So as I went through the questions, I had an important box to check. Yes. I can get my stuff in historical magazines. The others went kind of like this: What do I love to do? Write. I'm one of those guys who can't not write. I don't even know what I think unless I write it down. (That's one reason for this blog post, by the way.) What else do I love? Research. Looking stuff up. I do a Google search on everything. Historical research in particular.
It's even kind of nice to spend part of my day in the 1850s visiting an urban slum called Swede Town on the North Side of Chicago. (It was about where the infamous Cabrini-Green housing project would be located a hundred years later.) They had their problems in the 1850s. Bitter fights with proselytizing Methodists and Baptists, even Episcopalians. A kind of political sectarianism, eerily like our own today, that would soon lead to civil war. Even a cholera epidemic. But it's a change of pace. And I can always come back to my 21st-century electricity and running water in time for the PBS NewsHour.
Besides, I know how the Swedes' story ended. Spoiler alert: They did OK in the long run. Full disclosure: I married into a Swedish-American family, and in spite of all the bad jokes about Norskies, I learned to love pickled herring and potato baloney at Christmas (but not lutfisk), and the rest of Swedish-American heritage. It's one of the pieces that make up the mosaic of 21st-century American cultural heritage.
This year, due to the pandemic, we'll probably stay home for Christmas and order chicken biryani and bhindi masala carryout from a mom-and-pop Indian restaurant. It's all part of the mosaic. Which is more like a smörgåsbord, a jambalaya, an Irish stew or a Mongolian hotpot than a mosaic, anyway, the more I think about it.
The food, of course, is just a handy metaphor. In the 1850s, Swedish immigrants were able to navigate the sectarian currents of their day and fashion the old Swedish-American Augustana Lutheran Synod and a blended, Swedish-American culture. Svensk-Amerika, in turn, would later influence American culture, particularly the Lutheran denomination (ELCA) the Swedish synod ultimately merged into. Similarly, today's Latino and South Asian immigrants — to name only a couple — continue to enrich a diverse, pluralistic American society, even as our politicians threaten to shut it down again.
And that, I think, is a story worth telling.
An awkward little footnote
When I was thinking through what I wanted to say in this post, I jotted down a scratch outline for how I might spin off some of my research into Swedish-American churches of the 1850s into easily manageable pieces. The post went off in a different direction, but I don't want to lose the outline. So here it is, in all its largely unedited glory but with links that will help me pick up the thread later:
Basically, it occurred to me, when I got up for a midnight snack, to separate "Swedes in Roger Williams' Garden" into two manageable projects:
Rework October 2020 presentation into an article for Illinois Historical Journal, leading with [Norwegian pastor] Paul Andersen in Chicago and focusing on [Swedish pastor LP] Esbjörn's relations with the American Home Missionary Society as he established the Augustana Synod's mother in Andover.
Outline a more speculative article leading with ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton's homily at Augustana LC in Andover and focusing on reciprocal creolization, Christian nationalism, ecumenism, etc.
It was exactly 3:57 a.m. when I raided the refrigerator before jotting down this outline. Knowing what happens to other brilliant ideas that occur to me in the middle of the night, I am including it here without apology.

Osgood and the Zygons are back for series 9! Yes, that jaw-dropping moment when Osgood was killed, is now being explained in the upcoming series. As we asked ourselves at the time, was it Osgood or the "Zygon-Osgood" who bit the dust? We'll soon find out.
A special anniversary event is being held in New York to celebrate 10 years of Who. Organised by BAFTA Cymru, Cardiff Business Council, BBC America and BAFTA New York, it's a night to celebrate the enormous talent and work of the teams in Wales and to mix with the US guys. It sounds like a great event but we do have a few thoughts on this one.
Jenna Coleman has put laid to rest a few rumours that her character has little to no involvement in series 9. With many set photos now released it's an easy one to debunk and while it was purely speculation Jenna has gone on record to confirm her part in the next series.
Stand up comic Lee Mack has been onto the peeps at the BBC, desperate to land a guest role in Doctor Who. I guess hoping to follow in the footsteps of Frank Skinner, Mack wants to put a tick in the box as a Who fan.
This episode was released 10 years ago yesterday and although we hadn't noticed, it's a very well timed review. An early episode of the Eccleston run it's an emotional and well written story but does it leave us teary eyed and happy or bored and wanting more? Listen on to find out.
In the episode Midnight, what is the waterfall made of? Tweet or Facebook us your answer and we'll read out the correct ones next week.
