Pax Christi USA National Council member
On Friday, February 22, Pax Christi USA and the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker held a vigil outside the White House, while President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met inside for lunch. The Japanese prime minister is from a political party calling for the repeal of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution which renounces war and prevents Japan from becoming a nuclear power. The U.S. appears to support this move to rearm Japan, viewing Japan as a key player in its Asia-Pacific strategy to counter such nuclear powers as China and North Korea.
The historic Article 9 was put in place after the conclusion of World War II, and reads:
“Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes. To accomplish this aim, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.”
Akihiko Kimijima, a Japanese international law professor and one of the country’s leading experts on Article 9 issues, spoke at the vigil. “Article 9 is not only for Japan. It is for the entire world. The author of Article 9 is humanity.” Professor Kimijima is teaching international law at American University for the next several months, and is a board member of the Non-Violent Peace Force.
Pax Christi USA responded to an appeal from the Japan Catholic Council for Justice and Peace to join them in protecting Article 9 of Japan’s peace constitution. Catholic bishop Marcellinus Daiji Tani, the chairman of the council, publicly thanked those gathered in his letter:
“We are informed of an action in front of the White House organized by Pax Christi USA which we appreciate deeply. Our heart-felt gratitude to you for your commitment for non-violence and the meaningful gesture of solidarity.”
During the vigil, those gathered publicly recited the words of Article 9 and affirmed them as U.S. citizens and people of faith committed to non-violence. Perhaps we might add these words to the Vow of Non-Violence that Pax Christi USA members periodically make, and encourage our church and nation to publicly affirm with us:
“Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the people of the United States forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation, and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.”

This is right. This is truth. This is Christ’s PEACE. Thank You. C Martin

Celebrating being young
MURWILLUMBAH's Seventh Day Adventist Church celebrated National Youth Week with a vertical challenge in Knox Park yesterday.
More than 50 teens enjoyed a day in the park with food and drinks and the Pinnacle of Terror, a towering structure giving youths the chance to walk a tightrope and leap off a seven-metre-high platform with the safety of a harness.
Helping to promote Youth Week's message of “making a move”, church member Eunice Hancock said it was important to help Murwillumbah teenagers out during the week.
“We're out here to promote confidence and alternatives to underage drinking,” Ms Hancock said.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church activity was sponsored by the Tweed Shire Council and their youth group program.
Murwillumbah resident Roslin Hughes, 14, said she enjoyed her day in the park.
“Youth Week is a really good idea. It's fun just to hang out and celebrate being young while we still can,” she said.
NYW is the largest celebration of young people in Australia, aimed at youngsters right across the country.
NYW 2009 began on Saturday and will run until next Sunday, April 5.
The aim of the week is for youth to voice concerns on issues, showcase talent and celebrate their contribution to the community.

Discovering the Heart of Home
Abraham Maslow, an influential American psychologist of the 20th century, placed shelter and security on the foundational level of his hierarchy of needs pyramid, signifying their critical role in our well-being.
The walls and roof merely enclose a structure in the physical sense. Many people live and work under a roof without considering it their home. Such structure lacks something that makes a home: history and a common purpose. A house is a living habitat. A home extends and adds to that definition.
A home is a rare sanctuary where we can achieve both ordinary and not-so-simple goals that have gotten away from us in our pursuit of balance in a hectic world. For 12 months of the year, from budding trees to falling snowflakes, to the millions of unseen snarls of light in between, a home is a business filled with schedules — schedules that never reach completion, schedules that track every room, chair, pew, and bed. A home reaches out to time so it doesn’t escape from us so rapidly. A home says, “This is where I will do everything I can.”
As leasing professionals, we find our duties stretching far beyond the transactional process of leasing an apartment. Our role is about understanding and appreciating the emotional significance of a resident finding a home. This is a role that involves being part guide, confidant, and dream weaver in an individual’s life story.
Being able to give someone a space to call their own is not only a professional accomplishment but a deeply gratifying emotional experience.
I will never forget my early days in multifamily operations — and one memorable experience, in particular, was my first ever lease. A college student and his anxious mother were preparing for him to live away from home for the first time. It was clear from her expression, a weight of duty and anxiety hanging over her, that the mother was about to place her only child into the care of strangers nearly 6 hours from her protective reach.
Assisting with a lease was not simply aiding a rental agreement; it was alleviating a mom’s concerns and giving that young adult a significant push toward being on his own. When he settled on the right place, the mix of relief and excitement on both their faces was priceless.
That day was an unforgettable moment of self-actualization for me. I didn’t do it for the leasing commission or to meet my weekly leasing goal. This experience marked the start of a career in multifamily that was not just a job but instead a mission.
As a leasing professional, you are a front-line consultant. You combine your practical skills and knowledge about the community with enthusiasm to meet and serve every person who comes through your leasing office. People will come to you with questions about your community and rely on you to help them find the perfect space to call home. This is why even after seeing your availability and offerings online, they still call or visit your community. You know that people shop with their eyes, but you also know the real close comes when you close yourself. Prospective renters find homes because of you.
Assisting individuals in finding solace within a specific location goes beyond monetary outcomes; it is about being there for another on their journey through life by providing them with the cornerstone of their stability and contentedness.
When we’re thinking about a career in leasing, it’s not just about the physical community and apartment units. It’s about stories, emotions, and life transitions. Every client has a unique story and comes with a set of hopes and fears.
As a professional in multifamily, we’re known to have the key to open the door. Since 1961, the key has come to symbolize our responsibility which is greater than opening doors. The key unlocks homes and new chapters in people’s lives. The heft of that responsibility and the significance of that privilege make our profession much more than a job — it is a calling.
A career in leasing is a voyage into emotions and self-fulfillment. It is joining hands with your client and creating a home for them, rather than simply putting them in an apartment. Leasing, if you let it, will not only bring value to someone’s life but will return to you all of that and more.

Accused Priest Loses Counseling Job
One of 14 men on a list of Catholic priests previously accused of sexual misconduct has lost his job counseling sex criminals.
Stephen Scruton was fired from the Essex County jail in Middleton, Mass., after Sheriff Frank Cousins Jr. learned he was among those named last week by the Diocese of Manchester. Cousins said Scruton acknowledged his record, which includes two criminal convictions and allegations of sexual contact with an altar boy.
The priest had worked at the jail for five years and was doing "a great job," Cousin told The Union Leader, the newspaper said Wednesday.
But after learning about the allegations, Cousins said, "I'm not going to allow people like that in the prison."
The Diocese of Manchester said last week that it would give the names of the 14 accused priests to prosecutors for investigation and possible prosecution.
The release of names followed allegations by more than 130 people that a former Boston-area priest had fondled or raped them as children. Church officials in Boston have since given prosecutors the names of more than 80 active and former priests accused of sexual abuse. Church officials in Portland, Maine, said Tuesday that they would do the same in their area.
Scruton, in his 60s, was found guilty of criminal trespass and of indecent exposure and lewd behavior in the 1980s. In 1991, a former altar boy sued him and the diocese, claiming Scruton had molested him. The diocese said it suspended Scruton after the allegation.
Diocesan spokesman Patrick McGee could not say when Scruton was suspended and did not know the outcome of the lawsuit. He said Scruton remains a priest but cannot perform Mass or other priestly duties in public.
Scruton could not be reached for comment. According to the diocese, he lives in Dover, but no phone number is listed for him.
Officials with his employer, AdCare Inc., which provides drug and alcohol treatment in Massachusetts, did not return calls seeking comment.

Bless the Lord,
O My Soul
Some people work hard to ensure their existence. They try to earn enough money for their living, and sacrifice time and effort to provide for a comfortable future. Yet, the Son of Mary teaches us,
”No one can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.”
David tried to solve this problem by worshiping the Lord. He bid himself and his thoughts to keep silent, so that he could concentrate on the Lord only. He did not allow other thoughts to disturb him, but stood silently in the presence of God:
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you
with loving kindness and tender mercies.
Praying and praising need determination and endurance. David wanted to honor and to glorify his Lord. The Holy Spirit guides believers to open themselves to the voice of their Creator.
The name Lord (in Hebrew: Yahweh) appears 6,828 times in the books of the Old Testament, while the word God appears only 2,600 times. The name of God is ”the Lord”. This name confirms his unchangeable faithfulness. He alone is worthy of all trust and thankfulness, as David declared.
Yet, voices and thoughts broke out of his subconscious powerfully, refusing to submit to silence. This is why the prophet ordered his inner being once again to praise the Lord. He determined that his thoughts be filled with thankfulness and praise. David wanted to love the Lord with all his soul and to honor him with all his being. He called the Lord the Holy One in whom is no deceit, craftiness, fraud, nor any sins. He who approaches God will be examined and penetrated by the rays of his holiness, which expose every unclean work before him. David experienced this spiritual discovery, humbled himself before the Holy One and glorified him. God’s holiness covers his glory, for the Holy One is the Most Exalted. Whoever turns to him will be sanctified in the depths of his heart.
David had to command his own spirit for a third time to keep silent and continue in praising God so that his thoughts would not be confused or drift away to money matters, daily problems and lurking dangers. He determined to pay attention only to the Lord of Lords, the Omnipotent Judge of the world.
Afterwards the Holy Spirit guided David to thank the Lord for all his favors in his life. By nature, we soon forget the Lord’s blessings and his answers to our prayers. We are all experts in forgetting the Lord’s favors.
We suggest to every reader, so as not to forget God’s various benefits, to take a paper and write down all the benefits that the Lord has offered you. Then truly thank him for them. Praise him for fresh air and water – for rain, snow, food and dress – for parents, teachers, schools, and places of work and residence – for safety and peace in your country. Thank him for keeping you from the natural disasters, storms, earthquakes and volcanoes. Thank him for keeping your country from hunger and disasters of wars. Search your mind for more favors that the Lord offered you. Do not be stingy in thanking him. Train your heart in constant praising and thanking for such concrete reasons so that you may remain happy in your heart and the Lord’s bounty rest on you.
The most important reason for gratitude, inspired by the divine Spirit to David, was the forgiveness of all his sins. Many people live as if innocent. They hide their offenses and walk about solemnly. Do not follow their example, but repent. Confess all your sins to the Lord and decide not to commit these sins any more, so that you may experience the relief revealed by the apostle John,
”If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:8-9).
David experienced the grace of the Lord, who forgave him all his sins. Therefore, he urged his soul to thank the Lord for the forgiveness that God had often granted him. The prophet experienced that the Holy One has actually forgiven him all his sins. We do not find such comprehensive grace in other religions. We do not find such words as perhaps or maybe in the Torah and the Gospel, for the Lord does not forgive only one group of our sins without the others, but cleanses us completely, justifies us thoroughly, and gives us his grace freely, out of his great love of us. Since Christ, by his substitutionary death, atoned for the sin of the world, we know for certain that
”By one offering He has perfected forever
those who are being sanctified”
However, the Lord has declared that whoever receives forgiveness for sins must forgive his adversary too, as God forgave him (Matthew 6:12). Do you have an enemy? Do you live with someone with whom you are not in agreement? Forgive him now completely, otherwise you will lose the Lord’s gracious forgiveness of your sins. Ask your Lord to help you with his power that you actually forgive your adversary the wrong he did you, just as the Creator has already forgiven you (Matthew 6:14).
The Holy Spirit guided the prophet David to recognize that once all his sins were forgiven, health was the next important gift of his Lord to him. He recognized that he should thank him for it. How often are we infected with colds, minor wounds or chronic disease, yet the Lord, in his mercy, cured us. Physicians’ examination and the expensive medicines do not help alone in healing us. The credit for it goes back to the Almighty. The Lord assures us,
”I am the Lord who heals you”
The Son of Mary fulfilled this promise. He healed all the sick who came to him, and cast out unclean spirits from the demoniacs. The healing Lord uses physicians and medicines today, but complete cure comes only from him. Then where is your thankfulness to him? Do not forget to thank your Creator with all your heart, because he is the one who bestows on you the favors of well-being and healing.
King David was a god-fearing man. He knew a day was to come when he would face his Lord, so he prepared for his death. Yet, the Lord revealed to him that he would deliver him from his grave, not for his own righteousness, but because he believed in his justifying Lord. Whoever trusts Christ does not need to fear death nor the darkness of the tomb, since the Son of Mary confirms to us,
”I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.
Do you believe this?”
The Son of Mary rose alive from his tomb after overcoming death. He triumphed over Satan and demonstrated the reality of his eternal life. He will help all who follow him, take them by the hand and pass with them through the gate of death into his eternal life.
God's spirit informed King David that golden crowns with diamonds are not the most precious items in the world. There are crowns of the Lord that shine forever. He who receives the Lord’s bounty and will share it bountifully with the poor and sick, meeting the needs of castaways, the despised and strangers, and helping them indeed, will be granted a spiritual crown by the Lord. Did you receive the crown of mercy and compassion from your Lord who delivers it to his merciful servants? Is your heart still hard like stone? Or did it melt so that you suffer with the suffering and weep with the weeping? Christ guides you to constant mercy, not only among your neighbors and friends, but also among those who are going astray and among unbelievers who have no hope in this life or the next. Attend to them and do not be embarrassed when you see their pallid faces, but pray for them, think of them so that the Lord may send you to serve them faithfully and sincerely.
There are unknown and simple-hearted saints with invisible crowns on their heads. They had pity on the wretched and the poor, prayed for them, helped them and sacrifices for them, in the same manner as their Lord did for them. He announced,
”The Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
Christ is our way and example who gives us power and courage to serve him with gladness.
Are you seeking money and high rank, which makes your heart stony? Or has the spirit of Christ changed your mind so that you have become merciful and compassionate, bearing an invisible crown on your head? Learn Psalm 103 by heart. Train yourself to be thankful so that you recognize, in Christ, the incarnate love of God which transforms you into his mercy.
Upon request, we are ready to send you, freely, the Gospel of Christ with prayers and meditations. They can help you praise and give thanks from all your heart.
If you have found this leaflet helpful to you, do not withhold it from others, so that they can also become servants of the Lord. Write to us and we will send you some of these leaflets for you to distribute.
Awaiting your letter, we pray for you and would ask you to remember us in your prayers. Do not forget to write clearly your full address.

A new technology developed by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) will now take solar powered refrigerators to the remotest village in the country.
While the technology will be transferred to the open market in a few months time after it is formally approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), India’s President Abdul Kalam has already bought the first two units of Solar Chill, says Rajendra Shende, chief, UNEP OzonAction. “The solar refrigerators are unique because they are built on a low cost technology besides being eco-friendly,” he adds.
The technology, which uses solar energy, does not use lead batteries that are harmful to the environment. Instead, it stores energy in the form of ice for up to five days when there is no sun. UNEP has developed Solar Chill in partnership with WHO, PATH (Programs for Appropriate Technologies for Health), Greenpeace International and Danish Technological Institute.
According to Mr. Shende, Solar Chill is a unique model in partnership. While technology developers in the developed world would not be bothered to invest in a solar fridge that can store vaccines, such initiatives in developing countries can be fulfilled only through partnerships. The UN, however, mainly foresees institutions as buyers of its Solar Chill units.

In a bid to avert further rebellions after last week's terror bill defeat, the prime minister plans to meet Labour MPs in small groups this week to discuss the government's reform agenda.
The government has reportedly bought itself more time to win over sceptical MPs by delaying both the welfare reform bill and the education bill, which has been widely criticised by Labour MPs for favouring only middle-class children in better schools.
At the weekend Mr Blair acknowledged he would face a "rough ride" over plans to create more independent state schools, and cut incapacity benefit claimants.
Speaking in Downing Street today, Mr Blair stressed that the "vast majority" of Labour MPs backed the reforms. "I've no doubt at all that we will persuade those people - there is a minority of them in the party at the moment who don't agree with some of those proposals," he said. "This is a very different issue to the national security issue of last week.
"It's something that we will engage with ... in the normal way. But I'm actually very confident about it."
Mr Blair added: "As for the rest of the reform programme, we will see it through."
Reforms and investment had brought "real improvements", the PM said, "but we have got to do better". "The people, the country want to see that money work to produce real transformation in the system."
Iraq - another poisonous issue for many Labour backbenchers - may also recede slightly next year, with the possibility of UK troop reductions.
Speaking in Downing Street alongside Iraqi vice president Abel Abdul Mahdi, Mr Blair pledged Britain would not leave a "security vacuum" in Iraq, but said it was "entirely reasonable" to expect troop withdrawal in 2006.
He said: "I think it's entirely reasonable to talk about the possibility of withdrawal of troops next year but it's got to be always conditioned by the fact that we withdraw when the job is done.
"It's always been part of our plan to withdraw when the Iraqis are capable of looking after their own security."
There is now "a very substantial build-up in Iraqi capability", he continued. "This is a completely different situation from a year ago."
But Mr Blair faces a high-profile struggle with peers this week, as identity card legislation arrives in the House of Lords.
The Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy last night made clear that his peers would oppose the bill, despite the convention that the upper house should not block legislation implementing manifesto commitments.
"When you've got a government which is elected on 36%-37% of the popular vote and it can't carry ... its own backbenchers to a sufficient extent, that's a government that needs to think twice about the way in which it goes about public policy," he said.
"To simply think that in a draconian way, they can ram this through the House of Lords, I think that's quite wrong."
The chair of the home affairs select committee, John Denham, welcomed the fact that Mr Blair, and his cabinet colleagues, were making themselves available to backbenchers "on a scale that we haven't seen before".
But he warned that ministers must be ready to listen to MPs' concerns and take them into account.
"What won't work is an approach which just says, 'We have decided what we are going to do and we are just going to spend a lot more time explaining it to you'," he told BBC Radio 4's Westminster Hour.
"Most of all, (Mr Blair) needs to turn away from some of the people close to him who are saying that anybody criticising the programme is out to get him."
Mr Denham - who quit his job as a junior home office minister over Iraq and has been a influential, but loyal, critic from the backbenches - said that key proposals on education and health were "untested" and would need changes to be acceptable to a lot of Labour MPs.
The former deputy chief whip George Mudie last night warned of "civil war" if Mr Blair and his lieutenants tried to strong-arm rebels into toeing the line.
"Unless we all calm down, take a deep breath and reconsider how we are all acting, I can see the next four years being civil war and Tory government after four years and whoever is prime minister is going to have a party that is probably unmanageable," said Mr Mudie, who was among the 49 Labour rebels last week.
"We have got to get the parliamentary Labour party coming together again and trying to make everybody feel they are involved, they are being listened to and what is being said is being acted upon."
Angela Eagle, vice-chair of the backbench parliamentary Labour party committee, suggested that warning had been heeded.
Ms Eagle also called for greater consultation, but added: "There are dangers ahead only if the lessons are not learned. "It looks from today in the discussions about policy on health and education and forthcoming bills that lessons have been learned, and I for one welcome that."
The ex-cabinet minister Frank Dobson predicted that last week's rebellion could be doubled to as many as 100 if the government attempts to force through the proposals for state-school autonomy outlined in Ruth Kelly's education white paper last month.
But the Blairite cabinet minister John Reid cautioned backbenchers that they had an "obligation" to implement the policies promised in Labour's election manifesto.
There was "room for discussion" on policy details, but not on the main thrust of the proposals, said the defence secretary.
David Cameron, who is likely to be the Tory leader by the time of the Commons vote on the education bill in the new year, yesterday indicated he would back government plans for greater independence for state schools.
"I think the temptation to try and bring down the government by voting against something with which you fundamentally agree, I think that is a mistake," said Mr Cameron.
"Consistent Conservatism" could mean voting with the government on greater independence for schools or extended private-sector delivery of NHS treatment, he argued.
However, although backing from the Tory benches would ensure Mr Blair could defeat any Labour rebellion, it would also leave him in the position of relying on Tory votes to get his measures through.
Mr Blair signalled that welfare reforms would be delayed by David Blunkett's resignation as work and pensions secretary and his replacement by John Hutton.
"It is natural that people should have a little time to get settled in," the prime minister's official spokesman said.
"The work is continuing. It is continuing very actively."
The shadow work and pensions secretary, Sir Malcolm Rifkind, said delay would be "terrible news for people parked on benefits who are desperate to get back to work".

Ever since KXNG Crooked announced his departure from Slaughterhouse, fans have been hoping that he compensates with some new solo music. He's released a few solo cuts, but he's mainly been focused on his new group, Family Bvsiness -- a group he formed with members of Horseshoe Gang. They've gone on to release two solo projects, Grand Opening and LLC. Since we haven't heard much solo music from KXNG Crooked, he's come through with a new freestyle to cop off the year.
Crooked's pen has only gotten better with time and he proves that on his latest solo track, "B.C." The rapper's shared a few solo records in recent times including "UH Oh" which he dropped in early July. The rapper flips The Fugees' "Ooh La La La" on his latest track and reminds everyone that he's one of the sharpest emcees alive right now.
KXNG Crooked also teased a new EP on the way. It's unsure when it'll arrive, but the game definitely needs him to drop something in the near future.

The bill allows employees to transfer their savings, as well as their employers’ contributions, from labour contract-based pension funds to for-profit pension vehicles, which carry higher costs for members.
In a parliamentary hearing, Covip chairman Francesco Massicci said: “It is not clear, however, how these contingent shifts of members correspond to a real advantage for members themselves.”
Massicci said Covip figures showed there was an inverse relationship between costs and assets under management (AUM) at labour contract-based pension funds, or fondi negoziali.
He said the same could not be said for pension vehicles sponsored by insurance companies and banks, including individual pension schemes, or “Piani Individuali Pensionistici” (PIPs), where costs do not decrease as AUM increases.
Massicci quoted Covip figures showing that, if contributing to a labour contract-based pension fund for 35 years earns a monthly benefit of €5,000, contributing the same amount to a pension vehicle sponsored by a for-profit entity would earn as little as €3,900 a month over the same period.
Despite the higher costs, membership of pension funds sponsored by for-profit entities has increased faster than lower-cost vehicles.
At the end of 2014, PIPs had 2.9m members, accounting for 44% of all second-pillar pension fund members.
Open pension funds, sponsored by insurance companies and banks, had 1m members, whereas labour contract-based pension funds had 2.55m members in total.
The total membership figure for 2014 was 6.56m, which corresponds to around 30% of those in employment.
Massicci told the Italian Parliament’s lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, that such growth of membership at higher-cost pension funds was due to their sponsors’ large distribution networks.
He said: “Their growth was driven by more commercial placement methods, thanks to widespread sales networks that are remunerated on the basis of the number of products placed.”
The Covip chairman added that the higher costs were linked to the presence of these sales networks.
Employee and employer associations, as well as bodies representing not-for-profit pension funds, have voiced concerns over the draft bill.
Manfredo Carfagnini, chairman at the pension fund for employees of BNL BNP Paribas, said the fund strongly opposed the measure.
“Introducing competition in this way seems to respond to the interests of a lobby rather than the whole sector,” he said.
“The risk is that one part of the market cannibalises the rest.”
He also believes the measure would be of no advantage to employees, given that PIPs are significantly more expensive.
“A paritarian institution such as ours can offer very sophisticated asset management at a very low cost,” he said.
Carfagnini acknowledged that, being a closed pension fund with 99% coverage of the sponsor’s workforce, his fund could in theory face negative membership growth, if other entities were allowed to take on employee and employer contributions currently directed to the BNL BNP Paribas pension fund.
However, he said that – at the moment, only theoretically – the fund’s sponsor would be open to the idea of using its own network of advisers if there was full portability, and his fund were also allowed to take up members from other companies.
During Covip’s hearing, Massicci announced that the regulator was about to announce new measures on transparency, aimed at making member information more detailed and targeted at specific funds.

Tongji University has announced a breakthrough in the treatment of Lungs Regenerative Therapy for lung disease through tissue repair through stem cell transplantation.The research results have been published in Protein & Cell journal.
Lungs Regenerative therapy works by removing stem cells from patients’ airways and allowing them to grow many times before being transplanted into the lungs of patients.
“Lung diseases are the third most common cause of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, while traditional methods do not work that effectively,” said Zuo Wei, a professor at Tongji University, who led the research team.
Lung transplant surgery is largely limited due to the donor’s lack of lungs as well as severe side effects as a result of rejection, he said.
Regenerative stem cell-based therapy with patient own cells is probably the biggest hope for patients with lung disease, he said. The Lungs Regenerative therapy can be used in diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, bronchiectasis and interstitial lung diseases.
The team works with Shanghai East Hospital, which is affiliated with Tongji University, and the therapy has proven to be effective in the treatment of lung tissue after its use in six hospitalized patients with interstitial lung disease. Dozens of stem cells have been brushed from their airways and expanded millions of times.
They were then transplanted into the patient’s lungs, where the stem cells were transformed into new alveolar and bronchial structures and the injured parts were repaired and replaced.
The breathing and walking ability of the patients improved. The CT images also showed repair and replacement of the stem cells in the injured parts.
In addition, two patients with bronchiectasis said their symptoms, including cough and asthma, had been alleviated.
The team’s technology is the first in the world and the research project has been approved by China’s National Board of Health and Family Planning and the Chinese Food and Drug Administration.

Like in the movies where there are hose big houses with that beautiful sparkling wooden floor just in front of the main door, who have not dreamed with that kind of house, for some reason that kind of floors reminds me of Christmas in my mind is the image of the Christmas tree reflecting in that shiny floor.
Wooden gives to houses that elegant and comfortable look. That just with look at it you feel is home, imagine a dark wooden floor in the living room, white walls and in front, a chimney is a cold night and you and your partner are cuddle in the sofa, watching a movie. Looks like the scene from a romantic movie.
But more than that have wooden floors have many advantages.
With Wood you cannot go wrong, the smooth color and the different tones of brown make it perfect for any home.
This material is perfect to avoid cold, and keep your house warm, is so effective that you won´t need carpet.
Is easy to combine with furniture and gives a modern look to your home, furthermore looks good with almost any color and material.
Another of the main advantages of wood is it lasts more than other materials, one thing to have in mind is that the thicker the floor the more it will last.
Easy to maintain
Different from other materials is that is easy to clean no hard chemicals or random liquids are needed, you can clean it using just water and vinegar this mix will help to keep it shiny, remember that the thicker the floor the more it will last.
The wood floors repel dust so it makes it perfect for people with allergies, wood does not keep the dust and other components in the air make so easy to clean it and keep the rooms safe.
Care of environment!
To build a floor in wood is necessary to cut trees, but due to the regulation regarding to clearing of trees, companies plant more trees to compensate it, the energy used to deal with the trees and convert them into floors is so much less than the used in process other materials.
To have a wood floor not only will make your home look amazing, but also will save you time and money.

As previously mentioned, a large part of our admiration for well-made aluminium bikes stems from their relative affordability.
The ability to reinvest savings in high-quality components, whether spec-ing your own build, or purchasing an off-the-peg machine (see the Kinesis Athein for an example of the former; the Cube Peloton Race for the latter) is a benefit that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Further evidence can be found in the Militis Comp, which is equipped with drivetrain, shifting and braking components from SRAM, Cole wheels, FSA finishing kit, Selle Royal saddle, and a price tag of £1500. Let’s take a closer look.
The jewel in the spec of the Militis Comp are the carbon SRAM Rival dual control levers; easy on the eye and hands. We commented on the pleasing shape of the Force 22 lever when we experienced it at Eurobike, and the Rival feels like a similar profile. Other similarities between Rival and its senior siblings include Exact Actuation (the derailleur travels just as far as the cable), ZeroLoss (instant cable engagement and with it, shifting), and, of course, DoubleTap (one lever to control upshifts and downshifts). Raleigh, sensibly in our view, have paired the Rival dual control levers with Rival mechs, front and rear. Here, however, the deployment of the Rival groupset ends.
The remainder of the components come from SRAM’s S-Series line, a series of staging posts between the four pillars of RED 22, Force 22, Rival, and Apex. Raleigh have deployed an S-Series 300 chainset, a turbine fashioned from 6061-series aluminium and equipped with a classic 53-39 ratio that revolves on SRAM’s Pressfit 30 bottom bracket, one for 30mm axles and with bearings held in nylon cups fitted with their own seal. SRAM claim a host of advantages for the system, from narrower Q-Factor to ease of installation, but the most pertinent fact here is that it demands/has inspired Raleigh to equip the Militis Comp with an oversized BB shell, not commonplace even on the latest aluminium frames, and which we hope will provide stiffness in this critical area.
Other SRAM equipment includes the 10-speed cassette (11-28) and chain, and the brake calipers: non-series, but dual pivot, and equipped with cartridge pads. We’ll let you know how each performs in the subsequent review.
The Militis Comp rolls on Cole’s Rollen Elite wheelset, a 27mm deep aluminium clincher laced with J-bend spokes; 24 at the rear in a two-cross pattern on both sides, and 20 in a radial pattern up front. The hubs revolve on cartridge bearings, but those in the front wheel seem alarmingly small. Cole claim a weight of 1570g for the Rollen Elite.
They’re shod with Schwalbe Durano S tyres, what appears to be a staging post between the soft, race-oriented rubber of our favourite Ultremo ZX, some 30g lighter, and the endurance-oriented Durano. The Milits Comp will provide our first experience with the Durano S and given our previous good opinion of the German brand’s tyres, we’re looking forward to finding out how they perform.
Finishing kit is from Italian brand, FSA. The Omega handlebar is fashioned from 6061-series aluminium and equipped with a ‘compact’ 125mm drop and 80mm ‘reach’ (the distance from the top to the brake lever mounts). It has a rounded profile and feels instantly comfortable. The matching Omega stem is 100mm on our 53cm test bike. There’s an FSA SL280 seatpost too, in a 31.6mm diameter, topped with Selle Royal’s Seta saddle in sparkling white, though, sadly, unable to remain so during a winter test on British roads.


BMW could bring yet another niche-busting product to the market in 2017 if a report form a forum is to be believed. According to the BMW X1 Forum of Bimmerpost, 2017 could see the debut of the BMW X2. Yes, X2.
BMW's chief executive officer Norbert Reithofer has revealed that the company has axed plans to build a larger sport-ute to top the range currently inhabited by the X3, X5 and X6 crossovers. Reithofer cited economic problems in the United States and Europe as the main reason for the cancellation of the program, i.e. sales of SUVs are dropping like a rock.

The city of Madison released a draft of the Special Area Plan for the Oscar Mayer site and surrounding area Thursday in an effort to reuse and redevelop the site.
The draft, based on the city’s Oscar Mayer Strategic Assessment, provides a framework for the development of the Oscar Mayer site and surrounding properties as the city hopes to establish the area as a “thriving” Northside destination.
“The plan incorporates a variety of new housing options, employment opportunities, open space and recreational options — all integrated with an enhanced transit system, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and a more connected street network,” a city news release stated. “The Special Area Plan builds on that work and serves as a detailed guide to inform future development in the area to achieve the vision.”
For 97 years, Oscar Mayer has been located on Madison’s Northside as a food production and headquarters facility. The 72-acre plant was one of several locations that closed down when Oscar Mayer’s parent company, Kraft Heinz, announced restructuring in November 2015.
When the Oscar Mayer plant closed in 2017, it also created a redevelopment opportunity as the city viewed the site as a potential source for well-paying jobs.
The current site plans build on redevelopment objectives centered on economic development, transit and sustainability, including site-specific guides for future development. Specifically, the plan addresses issues relating to land use, building scale and design, new streets and public spaces.
“This plan builds on the vision established by the Oscar Mayer Strategic Assessment Committee, creating significant economic opportunities for Madison’s diverse residents, adding much-needed housing and leveraging our current and future transit investments to achieve a more sustainable future,” Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said in the statement.
The city is currently looking to receive feedback on the new draft of the Oscar Mayer Special Area Plans after incorporating feedback from the October open house and meetings with neighborhood associations and other interested groups.
The city of Madison staff and the consultant team, Vandewalle & Associates and EQT By Design, will host another open house to present the draft on Jan. 30 at the former Oscar Mayer office building.

Four suspects were bringing $950 million worth of Heroin into Jewish
~By Dalila Mahdawi
QUOTE: Israel has repeatedly accuse Hizbullah of drug peddling in return for intelligence about the Jewish state"
EXCERPTS:BEIRUT: Israeli drug police have arrested four people attempting to smuggle in heroin from Lebanon, media reports said on Saturday(& March).
Israeli police arrested the four "Galilee residents" in possession of 4.5
kilograms of Lebanese heroin, which police said had a street value of around $950,000, the YNetnews website claimed. "The alleged smugglers were apprehended ... in a stakeout that began Friday at 11 a.m., when a Lebanese citizen was seen throwing the package of heroin over the border fence.". . .
The police chief said his unit had seized some 30 kilograms of heroin along
the Lebanese border since the beginning of 2009.
Lebanon was one of the world's major heroin and hashish producers,
especially during the country's tumultuous 1975-90 Civil War. Although the
Lebanese authorities have made considerable efforts to stamp out the trade since the conflict ended, Israel has repeatedly accused Hizbullah of drug peddling in return for intelligence about the Jewish state.

William Osler and the Fixed Period: conflicting medical and popular ideas about old age
Davidow Hirshbein, L.; Osler, W.
Archives of Internal Medicine 161(17): 2074-2078
William Osler (1849-1919) has long been hailed as one of the most illustrious physicians in our history. Yet, Osler's claim to fame outside the medical profession in the early 20th century was through what became known as The Fixed Period controversy about the usefulness of old men. In 1905, as the 55-year-old Osler said farewell to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine before leaving for Oxford University in England he remarked that men older than 60 years should be retired. He further mentioned a suggestion, which he attributed to Anthony Trollope's novel The Fixed Period, that men older than that age be chloroformed. This article explores the public reaction to Osler in the context of early 20th-century American ideas about old age and manhood. As our society has changed over the past century, so have our ideas about old age. The Fixed Period incident offers us an opportunity to explore the relationship between medical and popular ideas about old age. This historical perspective allows us to see that physicians have not always had authority over old age and that public understanding and medical pronouncements on old age do not necessarily match.

Syngonium podophyllum is another name for the Nephthytis plant, which is endemic to tropical Central and South America. Because all of those names can be confusing, please provide a photo for identification. The names given to indoor house plants vary widely depending on where you reside.
Arrowhead Plant, Elephant Ear Plant, Nephthytis White Butterfly Plant, and Goosefoot Plant are all common names for Nephthytis. They’re common houseplants that should be kept away from pets because they’re harmful. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves to prevent the Nephthytis plant sap from irritating it. These perennial plants are native to tropical America and are widely grown as indoor houseplants because of their arrow-shaped, variegated leaves. Nephthytis plants are slow-growing and climbers that will live a long period in a container. In fact, Arrowhead Plants are exceptionally robust and can withstand even the worst conditions.
As long as it is kept in a bright light environment, Nephthytis is a simple plant to care for and thrive. It can handle lower light levels, but be cautious that in low light, it will become thin, weak, and leggy. Because direct, scorching sunshine might scorch the plant’s leaves or fade the variegation, it’s better to place it in a north-facing window.
Water the plant until the soil is saturated. Before watering the soil again, wait until the top layer is completely dry. When water is needed, the plant begins to droop, but once hydrated, it will perk up. Root rot, which can destroy the Nephthytis, can be caused by overwatering.
Nephthytis should be kept at temperatures above 15°C.
Once a month, fertilize your Arrowhead Plant with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (30-10-20). Feeding should be reduced in the fall and winter.
For your arrowhead plant, choose loose, loamy soil that is rich in organic materials. Commercial potting soil is an excellent option. To help drainage, choose a mixture that includes peat moss or perlite.
How to Take Care of a Nepthytis
This slow-growing tropical vine can be used as a potted or hanging plant, and it can usually withstand considerable neglect in its care. Stem cuttings from an established and robust Nephthytis are usually easy to reproduce. Despite the fact that it is a low-maintenance plant, Nephthytis can grow with proper care.
Plant the Nephthytis in a well-drained pot with organic-rich soil. Plants with green leaves should be kept in medium or low light, while those with pink, burgundy or white foliage should be kept in bright, indirect light; direct sunlight will bleach the leaves.
Soak the plant in water until the soil is completely wet. Before watering the soil again, wait until the top layer is completely dry. When water is needed, the plant begins to droop, but once hydrated, it will perk up. Root rot, which can destroy the Nephthytis, can be caused by overwatering.
Maintain a temperature of 60 to 75 degrees around the plant. Place the plant away from fires and hot air vents. Nephthytis, whether potted or hanging, can be left outside in warm weather and brought inside when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. Nephthytis can withstand near-freezing temperatures outside, although it thrives in warmer areas or as a houseplant.
During the plant’s active growing season, which is usually in the spring and summer, fertilize it every two weeks with regular houseplant food. Half the recommended feeding strength is used. During the fall and winter, reduce feeding to once a month.
Wear gloves to protect your skin from the Nephthytis sap. To preserve the plant in a bushy form, prune the trailing vines back with a clean, sharp pair of pruning shears. Cut all long runners from Nephthytis in hanging baskets (there should be approximately 5 or 6 of them) to keep the middle full.
Regularly inspect the plant for pests such as scale, mealybugs, and spider mites. Mealybugs resemble cotton swaths, whereas scale resembles little brown lumps that appear to move. Powdery mildew is caused by both pests secreting a sticky fluid called honeydew. Scale can be treated by wiping away the brown lumps and using neem oil. To trap flying adult male mealy bugs, use insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils on the plant and yellow sticky cards in the region. Spider mites might be difficult to spot because they look like webbing between the leaves or small red dots. Insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils can be used to kill spider mites.
If consumed by dogs or people, the nephthytis plant can irritate the skin and be poisonous. Make sure that you keep the plant out of children’s reach.
Do you have any queries about how to care for your Nephthytis houseplant? Please read this information on watering your indoor houseplants, how to maintain your houseplant’s root system healthy, lighting for your houseplants, and basic houseplant care before sending a houseplant inquiry. These are the most critical for the health of your houseplant, and I’ll refer you to them if you send me an email. Working in the interior landscape sector, I receive a lot of inquiries regarding people’s own inside house plants and how to keep them thriving and healthy. That is why I created this website to assist others in learning how to properly care for their indoor plants and flowers. It will be beneficial to have a lot of light and a lot of humidity. In low light, Nephthytis home plants will become thin, weak, pale, short, and leggy. A location with bright, indirect light, such as close to a window, is good. It’s acceptable to catch some early morning light, but avoid the hot midday sun. Showering with room temperature water on a regular basis is beneficial to Nephthytis, as it helps to enhance humidity and repel insects. Nephthytis should be kept at temperatures above 60°F. It is not a plant that should be exposed to freezing weather.

Born in 1987 - United States
Kit King was born in 1987, she is a Canadian contemporary artist and is famous worldwide. She lives and works in the region of Ontario, Canada. She grew up in a family of artists, she developed an artistic touch right since here childhood and experimented with various techniques and materials.
Kit King does hyper-realistic art by depicting ephemeral relations around him, a unique eye with a sneaky look, or a moment caught in the action...Instead of representing reality, the artist depicts the essence of the image. She probes light and shadows, as she perceives the influence of lighting on the spectator while he's viewing art. Through her creations, she is able to forge links, an immediate connection between the spectator and the art work. Her major creations depict society but also its obsessions and contemporary norms, while deconstructing perceived ideas. She examines themes like objectification, dehumanization, obligation, deconstruction of sex, genre and oneself. King explores the question of "soul searching" compared to cultural development.
She has done several individual and collective exhibitions in galleries and museums, which are well known around the world. She exhibited in Canada, USA, UK, Australia and United Arab Emirates. King has also participated in several contemporary art fairs like Scope Miami, Texas Contemporary and The Hampton's Art + Design, and her work is part of public and private collections all around the world. She received many awards especially « The Kingston Prize portrait competition Peoples Choice award » in 2016, « Grand Prize winner – PRZM Dream Big Competition », or « Honourable mention- Gamblin Torrit Competition » in 2015.

Now that the 4th of July, the most patriotic of holidays, is upon us, the time is right for reconsidering a national classic: “Yankee Doodle,” a quintessentially American tune—a song so well established that its absurdity slips right past us. What, after all, does it mean to stick a feather in your hat and call it macaroni?
Looked at closely, “Yankee Doodle” is less ditty than oddity. So what’s the deal with the song? Who wrote it? And when? Tom Angleberger addresses these mysteries and more in Crankee Doodle, a brilliant new picture book in which his twisted wit is on full display.
Dressed in Revolutionary-era duds of red, white and blue—including a cuffed coat loaded with buttons—Mr. Doodle is snoozing in a grassy pasture when the story opens. The reason for this repose? Ennui. “I’m bored,” Doodle complains to his pony, who is chewing grass nearby. “We could go to town,” his companion suggests. And so begins a series of hilarious exchanges, as the pony proposes various activities for their trip to town (foremost among them: purchasing the proverbial feather). Every one of the horse’s suggestions is humbugged by his grump of a master, who meets each with an extensive volley of complaints (Doodle is a long-winded dandy). After much comical give and take, the pony prevails. Doodle caves, and the two take off for town, but not in the way readers might expect. Capping off their adventure is a historical note explaining the origins of “Yankee Doodle,” which, in truth, seem rather murky.
This is the first picture book from Angleberger, the brain behind the best-selling Origami Yoda titles. His wife, Cece Bell, author and illustrator of the Sock Monkey series, provides the story’s wonderfully loopy line drawings. Together, this creative dream team has taken the tarnish off an American antiquity and created a classic of their own. Crankee Doodle is a charmer.

It’s almost Independence Day and we need some independence from this quarantined house. Where better to escape the monotony than a Vegas trip at the Wynn over the 4th of July weekend.
In a bit of an open secret, The Wynn Buffet will reopen it’s doors to the public this week after testing its new, reimagined concept with employees. You will still be able to choose from over 90 amazing options, but rather than serving yourself, you will receive unlimited tableside service for up-to 2-hours.
Vegas is one of our favorite places to eat in the world and when we’re really hungry, the Vegas buffet is always a good choice. The buffet is part of the fabric of Vegas and even if they are no longer the cheapest option on the strip, there’s still something about having access to anything your heart desires that screams Vegas.

I was very impressed with his work and when I contacted him to take some headshots for me, he was very friendly, professional and quick to answer my emails and talk to me about they style of the photos. He was also very accommodating with his schedule and during the shoot, he was very organized, patient and helpful. He had some great jokes too which helped me laugh (and make my photos look more natural as I was more relaxed!). Afterwards, he edited the photos right away and also gave me very high quality shots in colour and Black & White. It's great to have a variety of poses for my LinkedIn profile, website and more. I've already received many compliments on my photos!
I would highly recommend Shane without a doubt, for any business headshots as I felt his work was excellent value and very high quality.

People look at me and assume that at 41 and single I must be a commitment-phobe. But it’s just the opposite. I have no issues with commitment. I just can’t tolerate conflict. Alas, one doesn’t come without the other.
Last night I was pondering my situation. And all of sudden I heard (coming from somewhere in the pinball machine of my mind) that great Philip Larkin poem.
This Be The Verse
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
They fucked me up, my mom and dad. For sure they did. I grew up in a house of a nonstop conflict. A 24-hr scream-a-thon. And now, as hard as I try, I still get a lump in my throat when in comes to conflict in relationships.
This isn’t a blame thing. My life, my problems. I just think it’s helpful, for me, to be aware of why I’m doing the dumb shit I’m doing. So that maybe I’ll stop doing it.
And let’s be honest, we’re all fucked up. Each and every once of us. That means you, too.

Red, white and blue will be especially prominent come Memorial Day weekend at Globe Life Park, the Texas Rangers’ home turf.
The team’s foundation announced that they will be honoring those who have lost their lives while serving our country by displaying American flags on the North Lawn of the stadium May 24-27. Friends and family of those who have lost their life in service can donate $20 for one memorial flag or $30 for two.
Every honoree will also be recognized on the Rangers’ website as well as on the video board during a game.
The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation aims to support military-focused charities, so all proceeds raised from flag donations will go to both the Dallas-based Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF) and the Travis Mills Foundation.
“We are proud that the Foundation will honor the memory of the lives lost that paid the ultimate sacrifice to our country,” Karin Morris, Executive Director, Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation & Vice President of Community Outreach, said. “By partnering with the Travis Mills Foundation and the Adaptive Training Foundation, we are able to help directly impact amputees wounded in battle.”
Founded in 2014 by former NFL lineman David Vobora, ATF closes the gap between traditional rehabilitation programs and adaptive sports. The foundation gives adaptive athletes, many of whom served in the military, an environment to train in where their athletic abilities can take off.
The Travis Mills Foundation helps injured combat veterans and their families through long-term programs that support these heroic men and women overcome physical obstacles, strengthen their families, and provide well-deserved rest and relaxation. US Army SSG Travis Mills is one of only five veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive quadruple amputee injuries.
So, as you walk into the stadium, smelling popcorn an eyeing a beer, take a moment to notice the flags and names displayed. After all, we live in the land of the free because of the brave and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Donations are now being accepted at TexasRangers.com/HonorOurHeroes.

76% of Cryptocurrency Miners Use Renewable Energy as Part of their Supply
The growing demand for power from proof-of-work, PoW, has been a hotly debated topic. Bitcoin Mining uses a lot of energy, and it’s not a modest amount. Mining under the current protocol of Bitcoin’s proof of work algorithm is deliberately consumptive of energy. The Third Global Crypto Assets Benchmark Study from the University of Cambridge shows that 76% of cryptocurrency miners consume electricity from renewable energy sources as part of their energy mix.
The study found that more than 39% of the total energy consumed by PoW cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash, and others, comes from renewable energy sources.
This is in contrast to a previous study of this kind conducted by the university. The previous study found that only 28% of the total energy consumed for cryptocurrency mining came from renewable resources. In 2018, 60% of miners used renewable energy sources as part of their energy mix.
According to the latest study, hydropower is the most common source of energy for miners. Almost 62% of miners are reported to use hydroelectricity. Moreover, the sources of coal and natural gas rank second and third with 38% and 36%.
Three familiar power sources
Wind, oil, and solar power are the other three familiar power sources for cryptocurrency miners.
The report further divides miners’ energy consumption by region, noting that miners in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America use a nearly equal percentage of hydropower than electricity from other sources such as coal gas, wind, and oil.
In fact, coal power is more common in the APAC region, providing nearly the same amount of electricity to miners as hydroelectric sources. No miner in Latin America uses coal-fired electricity to mine cryptocurrencies.
The report also notes that APAC miners use the lowest renewable energy sources. In Europe, almost 30% of its cryptocurrency mining receives power through renewable energy.

text: I have obsessed with glitter lately (I know...another obsession..lol). I've been meaning to try a glitter gradient for a long time. Here is my first try and I must say I love it. Next time, I want to not make the glitter area so long. I want to shorten it and try out different colors. I sponged on China Glaze Dance, Baby and used Color Club Magic Attraction (I think that's the name of the glitter. Bottles do not have the name on them and I lost the package). It was hard to get a great pic of the glitter. Hope you enjoy it!

It has been quite a year for our kids and it’s hard to keep them isolated from all the bad news. Just like us, kids are struggling and trying to find their own sense of calm amid all the chaos of 2020.
A good movie can help us all escape for a little while and can even offer some opportunities for parents and kids to have conversations about tradition, identity, gender and culture. Not to mention the fact that watching a movie with your kid can be a wonderful bonding experience.
Here are some popular and powerful new movies that will encourage some interesting conversations and give everyone some much-needed downtime.
"Enola Holmes" (available on Netflix)
The story: Enola Holmes (portrayed superbly by "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown) is the younger sister of fictional private detective Sherlock Holmes. She wakes up on her 16th birthday to discover that her mother has disappeared. She summons brothers Sherlock and Mycroft to help find her, but they are unhelpful and seem far more concerned with sending their sister to finishing school. Enola runs away and has her own challenging but rewarding adventure. There is also an interesting subplot about the suffrage movement woven throughout.
The verdict: Enola is strong, smart and likable as a character, and it is easy to sympathize with her sadness and anger at her mother. The movie does include some graphic violence involving a near-drowning, knives and guns, as well as explosions. The cinematic choice to let Enola break the fourth wall and address the audience directly as the narrator helps to reassure young viewers that she is not only okay but will ultimately triumph.
Age recommendation: Common Sense Media recommends this movie for ages 12 and older. Both my children are younger and many of the subtler storylines involving the mores of British society and politics went over their heads, but the movie also prompted some interesting questions about why girls had to go to finishing school and why women couldn’t vote at the time.
"Over the Moon" (available on Netflix)
The story: A young Chinese girl named Fei Fei loses her mom at a young age. When she becomes a teenager, her world is rocked once more when her father introduces her to his new girlfriend, Mrs. Zhong, and her rambunctious son Chin. Fei Fei is distraught that her father may be moving on and forgetting her mother. She latches onto an old Chinese legend about a moon goddess named Chang'e. She believes that if she can prove Chang'e's existence to her father that he'll know that one true love can last for eternity. Things do not go exactly to plan for Fei Fei, but she learns plenty of life lessons along the way.
The verdict: "Over the Moon" is part of Netflix's "Representation Matters Collection," which highlights work featuring and created by people of color. The animation style and design elements are distinctly Asian. My daughter and I appreciated the accurate representation of a modern-day Asian household and recognized many elements throughout.
The film provides just the right amount of pluckiness and humor, and delivers a happy ending that should appeal to a wide audience. It’s voiced by many beloved Asian American actors, making it an instant draw for the Asian American audience. The film's universal themes of loss, grief, blended families and personal growth should appeal to all viewers.
Age recommendation: The verdict from Common Sense Media is that this film is suitable for children ages 6 and older. My youngest is 6 and quite intuitive, so it was perfect for her and prompted questions and curiosities about how our family is similar to and different from others.
"The Witches" (available on HBO Max)
The story: Based on the popular book by Roald Dahl, "The Witches" tells the story of an English boy who goes to live with his grandmother after his parents are killed in a car accident. The boy and his grandmother live in a hotel where they find themselves in the company of a coven of child-hating witches operating under the bogus guise of the International Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The young boy meets another kid who has been lured in by the witches. They both discover that the witches have a master plan to transform all children into mice and then exterminate them. With the help of the grandmother, the kids take it upon themselves to try and stop the witches.
The verdict: We had not read the book before, so we found the movie ending quite surprising, though it is faithful to the book. Spoiler alert: The kid gets turned into a mouse and must accept his lot. I am not sure that this message of resignation to such a fate will click with all kids, however.
The movie offered a few soft opportunities to reflect on issues about race. The movie strays from the book with its different cultural setting (Alabama in the 1960s) and casting of a Black actress in the role of the grandmother. We know from history that this was a time of segregation in the South, but this is not the case in the movie, as the characters seem well integrated.
The film has also received some criticism for portraying people with limb differences — the witches are shown with three claw-like digits — in a bad light, and star Anne Hathaway has apologized for that, while also helping to bring attention to the Lucky Fin Foundation supporting children in embracing their physical differences.
Age recommendation: Common Sense Media recommends this film for ages 10 and older. There are some scary scenes involving the witches, as well as an uncomfortable scene depicting the witches holding the boy down while dropping a potion into his ear.
"A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting" (available on Netflix)
The story: There are monsters in the world, and there is a clandestine international league of babysitters sworn to not only protect their younger charges but to combat the monsters of the world who are dead-set on kidnapping children. Why? Because it appears kids can conjure the scary nightmare monsters needed to carry out their sinister plans. Kelly Ferguson is a teenager babysitting her mom’s boss’ young son, Jacob. The monsters take Jacob, and Kelly is whisked away by a member of the order of babysitters to attempt a rescue of Jacob.
The verdict: This movie also comes out of Netflix’s "Representation Matters Collection." The hip young female lead is an appealing heroine who is portrayed as an African American teen who loves science and has a knack for solving complicated math problems in her head.
The monsters aren’t necessarily too scary on their own, but my younger child had to flee the room a few times, only to come back and keep watching when the somewhat maniacal and sinister scenes had passed. The movie holds kids’ attention well enough, with relatable characters who battle insecurities and fears, ultimately instilling in young viewers the sense that they are strong and capable of battling all kinds of demons — real or metaphorical.
Age recommendation: Common Sense Media recommends this film for ages 11 and older. I didn’t have a problem with my younger kids watching the movie. Some scenes dealing with teenage crushes and bullying angst may resonate better with older kids.

A dozen volunteers have spent a weekend removing barbed wire from a wild horse area in Colorado.
The volunteers rolled and removed 780 pounds of old barbed wire from three separate areas in the Sand Wash herd management area on June 15-16.
The effort was supported by funding under the Bureau of Land Management’s Director’s Challenge, a national program aimed at improving Western rangeland conditions where wild horses roam and engaging volunteers in the stewardship of public lands.
“We really appreciate the hard work of these volunteers, who made this area safer for not only wild horses, but also native wildlife and human visitors,” the bureau’s Snake Field manager, Wendy Reynolds, said.
The first site was a 5-acre area that included a stock pond with an old fence dating to the 1960s around its perimeter.
The second site appeared to be an old wild horse trap dating to at least the 1940s that included barbed wire strung through junipers to create wings to funnel the horses to a corral.
All of the historical integrity was left in place, but the dangerous barbed wire was removed.
Finally, volunteers removed the fallen barbed wire from an old, half-mile fence dating to at least the 1950s.
The barbed wire was taken to a local scrap metal recycling facility and the proceeds were given to the Sand Wash Basin Wild Horse Club.
The 158,000-acre Sand Wash herd area is about 45 miles west of Craig. It is one of four wild horse herd management areas in the state.
The Little Snake Field Office manages the area in the bureau’s northwest district.

Winthrop, High Point move on at Big South Tourney

Brad Kaczka went 2 for 3 and scored the go-ahead run to push No. 3 Winthrop past No. 6 Campbell. The Eagles will play top-seeded Radford on Friday morning at 10.
Josh Strong earned the win for the Eagles, going six innings and allowing one run on six hits. Reliever Joey Strain closed out the game and held the Camels to just one hit in the final three innings to get his ninth save of the year. Grant Yost took the loss, surrendering two runs on six hits in seven innings.
Cedric Mullin put the Camels on top in the first inning, scoring from third on a sacrifice fly by Kyle Leady after singling and advancing to third on a throwing error by Babe Thomas.
Tyler Asbill tied it up in the bottom half of the first on a single by Kaczka after doubling down the left field line.
