Here, these women detail their experiences since the list was published, what is has meant to them to be recognised in such a way and how […]

Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn by Shannon Hale

ISBN 9781647001285 $15.54 Reviewed from digital galleys R 3–6 yrs A crafty kitty fashions herself a colorful horn out of paper, yarn, and glitter (of course), and it looks so convincing (“so perfectly unicorn-y”) that she’s certain she is in fact a unicorn. An unimpressed Parakeet and Gecko criticize her posture, so she starts to prance; they mock her fuzzy, teeny tail, so she puffs it up big; they ridicule her purr, so she comes at them with a powerful neigh. They’re eventually wowed—but not by Kitty, by the massive unicorn that shows up. The unicorn’s magnificence undermines Kitty’s unicorn convictions, but then the horned beast dons a pair of kitty ears and confides, “I am a kitty-corn.” It’s not entirely clear where the unicorn gets said cat ears, but logic isn’t necessary for Kitty and Unicorn to realize they’re kindred spirits and embark on some serious kitty-corn fun. Hale and Pham bring the charm and whimsy of their Princess in Black series to this picture book, conveying the same message of self-love and confidence with the candy-colored art and a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed feline who is the dream of cat meme makers everywhere. Pair this with Kim Norman’s Thunder Pug for a sweet reminder that you can aspire to great things but also appreciate yourself just as you are.

Cooperation with Evil: Thomistic Tools of Analysis by Kevin L. Flannery, S.J

Reviewed by: Cooperation with Evil: Thomistic Tools of Analysis by Kevin L. Flannery, S.J Gregory M. Reichberg Cooperation with Evil: Thomistic Tools of Analysis. By Kevin L. Flannery, S.J. Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, 2019. Pp. 279. $34.95 (paper). ISBN 978-0-8132-3244-7. Our world is increasingly interconnected. People in disparate regions across the globe are working together in unprecedented ways. The power to accomplish great things emerges from our human collaboration ("if two of you agree on earth about anything you request, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven" [Matt 18:19]); but as we know from the tragic lessons of history, when people collaborate for wrongful ends the impact of evil is proportionately magnified. Collaboration in evil is conceptually most unproblematic when several people join in a project of deliberate wrongdoing, as when an organized band of criminals conspire to rob a bank. But most such efforts also depend on other individuals who, not directly part of the criminal purpose, nonetheless contribute tacit support to the initiative, if only out of fear—say, a bank employee who, having been blackmailed, hands over the combination of a bank's safe. Still others are unwittingly caught up in the crime's wake; for instance, a taxi driver who is asked to drive men to a bank and is told to wait for their return, only finding out afterwards they were there to conduct a robbery. Unlike the fellow conspirators who are clearly guilty, it is much harder to parse the responsibility of the other actors mentioned; intuitively we think the bank teller bears some attenuated guilt, and the taxi driver none. The Catholic tradition has long sought to explain these different contributions to wrongdoing by appeal to the distinction, made famous by Alphonsus de Liguori, between formal and material cooperation in evil. In broadest terms, the former designates a contribution that (in one way or another) is culpable, and the latter a contribution that is blameless. How to parse the difference is where the rubber hits the road; here as elsewhere the devil is in the details. The analytical challenge has become progressively greater as human beings find themselves in ever larger and multiple groupings, such as the employees in an international conglomerate with its multiple subsidiaries, or the citizens of a large bureaucratic state. The Latin cooperatio ad malum (literally "cooperation toward evil"—nicely rendered in French by "la cooperation au mal") is ordinarily translated into [End Page 329] English using the prepositions "in" or "with." While the latter is used in the present volume, I prefer the former, because the issue is about cooperating with others in deeds that are evil, not partnering with evil as when Faust made a pact with the devil in Goethe's famous play. Moreover, in Scholastic moral theory, malum designates sins of potentially different degrees of gravity, not only those that are grandiosely sinister. "Cooperation in wrongdoing" would accordingly be the most suitable translation of the Latin phrase under discussion. Is the "Catholic" distinction between formal and material wrongdoing adequate to the task of differentiating culpable from nonculpable contributions to wrongdoing? Answering this question is, fundamentally, the agenda that Kevin Flannery sets for himself in this book. To simplify the gist of a complex narrative, the answer he provides is basically "no." His argument is chiefly textual and historical. By tracing the origination of the distinction and its opposing interpretations, he seeks to show how the binary formal/material cannot provide a silver bullet for determining whose contribution to wrongdoing is culpable, and whose is not. For the principles that can guide discernment of the most relevant categories and their application to concrete cases, he urges us to consult Thomas Aquinas. In offering this Thomistic analysis of cooperation in evil and showing why it is superior to the approach later formulated by Alphonsus and his successors, Flannery has succeeded well at his task. As suggested by its subtitle, the book also aims to provide tools for sorting out the complex issues of collaboration we confront today. In other words, the author presents his project as of interest...

"Building bridges"-An opportunity to connect, inspire, and innovate. SSIEM 2019 Annual Symposium in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

In this special issue of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, the reader can find a collection of articles from the lectures given at the SSIEM 2019 Annual Symposium, which took place from 3rd to 6th September 2019 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The organization of the symposium was a joined effort by the Amsterdam University Medical Center, Radboud University Medical Center and Erasmus MC University Medical Center. The 2019 edition of the Annual Symposium broke all records with the number of attendees, 3017 registrants from 86 countries. The general theme of the 2019 Annual Symposium was Building Bridges. A theme that suits the city of Rotterdam very well. Rotterdam is known as a city continuously renewing itself and seeking for innovation. It is in Rotterdam's genes to build bridges and seek connection with the rest of world. Seeking connection was exactly the goal we had for the 2019 symposium. The metabolic field knows many areas of expertise. Over the years, these different areas have accomplished great things and the future of our patients has considerably improved, but we must do better. There are still many patients who cannot be treated or cured. By connecting different disciplines (for instance: laboratory and clinic), but also by seeking connection outside the metabolic field, we can expand our knowledge and generate innovative ideas; all with the common goal of achieving a better future for our patients. In the 6 plenary sessions, 14 parallel sessions, 3 update lecturers, 1 educational session, and the 606 posters accepted, we asked all lecturers and authors to incorporate the theme Building Bridges. Especially, those lecturers who are not active in the metabolic field succeeded in connecting their field of research with the metabolic field and creating new ideas for the audience. The articles in this edition of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease will hopefully inspire the readers to seek connection and come up with innovative ideas. The Garrod Award 2019 for the best clinical study in the Journal of Inherited Disease was presented to Johannes Häberle for his study on urea cycle disorders: of ammonia, dialysis, and future directions of management. The Komrower lecture with the title From fatty acid oxidation to riboflavin - Make metabolites great again was presented by Christine Vianey-Saban. The organization of the SSIEM 2019 Annual Symposium would have been impossible without the help and support of the Local Organizing Committee, Scientific Committee, the SSIEM Council, and the PCO. Because of this great collaboration, we succeeded to build bridges. For a full impression of the congress, go to https://ssiem2019.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/SSIEM-2019-report-FINAL.pdf. I hope that you will all keep safe during this COVID-19 pandemic and that we will soon be able to meet again.

Ghost Oceans

Ghost Oceans Elizabeth Lee (bio) I stand on a cliff in northern New Mexico, seeing my insides in the rocks. Fascia, red muscle, marbled fat, teeth perched on eroding banks of red and gray earth, dark, ancient blood soaked deep in the sandstone and hard volcanic ash. There's something I know I have to find here if only I could remember what it was. I slide my hands over my tender stomach and the question rises again. Why did the baby die? The white orb of the sun swallows into itself all color and sound and feeling, and my body goes limp. It's my fault. When I first came to New Mexico, I saw all kinds of interesting shapes in the red and purple rocks: Roast beef, ice cream, a camel's back. I felt desperate for a new life. I'd lived for too long in the same 73 degree weather, looking up at a perpetually cloudless sky; I had worked for years in television, anticipating what might look real and feel real, when everything about work and life felt hopelessly fake. I needed a portal to the divine like I needed my childhood wonder again; most importantly, I needed to know there were things in the world that would outlast my body and its memories. After we found out we were pregnant, my husband and I stared at the black computer screen in the doctor's office, studying the ghost lines that curved across each other like tiny white fossils, and waited for a heartbeat. The doctor finally pointed to a white blur. "There it is, and there's the chord." He took a deep breath. "But it's gone into the fallopian tube. I'm sorry, if we leave it there, your tube will rupture. You'll bleed to death." Two days later, he cut out the fallopian tube and the embryo still inside. The blood started immediately, turning my blue-tiled bathroom into a warm vault, thick with the scent of iron and sea salt. I hunched over my abdomen and frowned at all the translucent wires coming out of it. How could I be entirely sure that they hadn't switched out my body parts while I was unconscious and made me part alien? I wiped and saw clumps of dark jelly on the toilet paper. Are you my baby? I asked. Are you? Of course, it was madness, talking to my own blood like that. The baby was gone. My left fallopian tube was gone. But I had lost my mind that day, and it was all I could do not to throw myself out the window when I saw the red home inside my womb had started breaking apart. ________ The wind whips around me. It's like that in New Mexico, coming and going in sudden fits as if to remind the world to stay alert. The sun has made its descent down the sky and the horizon looks like it's on fire, the scorched land more like Mars than Earth. It seems the perfect metaphor for life as my parents talked about it, always describing it as hard and cruel. Survival was the only real true thing, so we'd better prepare. My mother was a quiet and somber woman, letting me twist her coarse hair and drape my leg over her waist while she slept as if she didn't exist at all. I reached for her body at all hours of the day to make [End Page 63] sure she hadn't left me behind. I wasn't sure why, but I always had the sense that she wanted to leave her life, and it frightened me. When her eyes turned to black glass, I knew she had gone deep inside but that she'd be back. I knew great things lived inside that very place because she'd eventually paint beautiful visions on stretched-out silk in her workroom: a woman's face, her collarbone, an ocean wave breaking on sand. She'd eventually hang them up against the tired white walls of our hallways. I don't remember much from that time, but I...

나다나엘이 보게 될 “더 큰 일들”(요 1:50)의 의미

메시아를 알아본 나다나엘에게 예수가 “더 큰 일들”을 볼 것이라고 약속하는 요한복음 1:50-51은 여러 가지 해석적 난제를 가지고 있다. 예수가 약속한 “더 큰 일들”은 무엇을 가리키는 것인가? 그리고 이어지는 1:51의 야곱의 꿈은 그 약속과 어떻게 연관되는가? 그리고 이 약속은 요한복음 안에서 어떻게 성취된다고 볼 수 있는가? 본 연구는 이러한 질문을 요한복음의 구조와 문맥을 살펴봄으로 대답하고자 한다.BR 최근에 제안된 창세기 1-2장을 배경으로 하는 요한복음의 구조는 이 문제들의 이해에 새로운 빛을 던져준다. 그 연구에 의하면 나다나엘 내러티브(요 1:43-51)의 주제인 하나님의 집으로서 이스라엘은 창조주간 넷째 날의 광명체라는 주제와 연관하여 이해할 수 있는데, 이는 소명을 이루는 참된 이스라엘에 대한 비전이다. 요한복음 1:50의 “더 큰 일들”은 직접적으로 이후 내러티브에 등장하는 표적들을 가리킨다고 볼 수 있는데, 이 표적들은 1:51이 주는 단서와 함께 이해되어야 할 필요가 있다. 요한복음 2:1-6:21은 창조주간의 일곱째 날을 전망하며 암시하는데, 이 단락들은 모두 새 이스라엘에 관한 주제를 다루고 있다. 여러 표적들이 불러일으키는 새 이스라엘에 대한 기대는 요한복음의 구조가 드러내는 안식하는 일곱째 날 예수의 죽음을 통해 실현된다. 요한복음 20-21장은 예수의 죽음과 부활이 가져오는 ‘증언하는 공동체’에 대해 이야기하는데, 이것이 약속된 “더 큰 일들”의 실체로서 나다나엘을 포함한 제자들이 본 것이라고 이해할 수 있다.

الترویع عبر برامج القنوات الفضائیة دراسة فقهیة

ملخص البحث: إن من أکثر الأمور التي أولتها الشريعة الإسلامية اهتماما بالغا، فحرمت النيل منها، أو هتکها، أو الوقوع فيها، وجعلتها من الضروريات الخمس التي يجب الحفاظ عليها: سلامة الفرد في شخصه، وماله، وعرضه، وعقله، ودينه، ومنع الاعتداء عليه أو تعذيبه، أو تحقيره أو غير ذلک، من صنوف الإيذاء وألوانه؛ تحقيقا لأمن الفرد واستقراره، وکفالة لکرامته، کما نادت أيضا بذلک کل الشرائع السماوية، ولکننا نرى اليوم کثيرا من الناس من يستهين بإيذاء الغير وإيلامه، وأشکال الإيذاء کثيرة ومتعددة، والذي أقصده هنا الإيذاء المعنوي، ومن أهم أمثلته فترويع المسلم وتخويفه أمر عظيم في الشريعة الإسلامية، وفيه من الإيذاء ما فيه، ولقد أصبح اليوم ظاهرة حية، وواقعيه، ومشاهدة في حياتنا اليومية، بل أصبح عملا ومصدرا للکسب، عبر القنوات الفضائية، فهو ظاهرة خطيرة تهدد حياة المجتمع أفرادا وجماعات، فلذا أردت دراسة هذه الظاهرة الخطيرة وبيان حکمها من الناحية الفقهية، وکيفية التعامل معها، وذلک من خلال بحثي هذا الذي يعالج تلک القضية، وذلک ببيان حقيقتها الشرعية، وما ينتج عنها من سلبيات، مع بيان أراء الفقهاء القدامى والمعاصرين في تلک الظاهرة، وقد قسمت هذا البحث إلى مقدمة، وتمهيد، وفصلين، وخاتمة، أما المقدمة: فتحدثت فيها عن التعريف بالموضوع، وبيان أهميته، وسبب اختياري له، منهج البحث، وخطته، وفي التمهيد، تحدثت عن التعريف بمفردات الموضوع، والألفاظ ذات الصلة به، وفي الفصل الأول: تحدثت عن أنوع الترويع، وأسبابه، وذکرت نماذج معاصرة للترويع عبر برامج القنوات الفضائية، وفي الفصل الثاني: تحدثت عن موقف الشريعة الإسلامية من ترويع الآمنين وذلک في مبحثين: الأول: التکييف الفقهي للترويع عبر برامج القنوات الفضائية، والثاني: عقوبة الترويع في الشريعة الإسلامية، وفي الخاتمة: لخصت أهم النتائج التي توصلت إليها من خلال البحث. Abstract: One of the most important matters that Islamic Sharia (law) has given great attention to, forbidding harming it, denigrating, or falling into it and has made it among the five necessities that must be preserved is the safety of the individual in his person, his money, his honor, his intellect, his religion and forbidding assaulting of torturing or scoring him or otherwise of the types of harming in order to achieve the security and stability of the individual and to guarantee his dignity as all the divine laws also called for that. However, today we can see many people who underestimate the harm and pain of others, The form of harm are so many; I mean moral harm. It is one of the most important examples of intimidation. Intimidating and frightening a Muslim is a great thing in Islamic law. It has a lot of harm . It has become a real and living phenomenon seen in our daily life nowadays. It became a job and a source of earning through space channels as well. It is a dangerous phenomena that threatens the life of society individuals and groups , so I wanted to study this dangerous phenomenon and clarify its provision in terms of jurisprudence and how to deal with it through this research that deals with this issue by showing its legal truth and the negative consequences that result from it with explaining the opinions of ancient and contemporary jurists on that phenomenon. I've divided this research into an introduction, a preamble, two chapters, and a conclusion. As for the introduction, I talked about the definition of the topic, its importance, the reason for choosing it, the research methodology and its plan and in the preamble, I talked about the definition of the topic vocabulary and the words related to it. In the first chapter I talked about the types of intimidation and its causes and mentioned contemporary models of intimidation through space channels programs. In the second chapter I talked about the position of Islamic law on terrorizing the safe in two topics: the first is: the jurisprudential characterization of intimidation through space channels programs and the second is the punishment for intimidation in Islamic law. In the conclusion, I summarized the most important results that I reached through the research.

Engaging Learners during Online Teaching

All the great things may not start from your comfort zone. Also, it is undeniable and something very usual that one needs to step out from the comfort zone to achieve something big. But Nature has its own plans. The way it taught everyone recently during the pandemic, to step out of the comfort zones. It has also given a chance to achieve whatever plans people had from their very own comfortable dwellings i.e., their very own homes. WORK FROM HOME is something that is on everyone’s mouth in the present times when the world is hit hard by a pandemic known as COVID 19 that can be expanded as Corona Virus in December 19. The pandemic brought down every aspect of human productivity and made it confined to their own homes. We have seen the world-famous names such as Walt Disney, Bill Gates and many more who started their journey from their own very homes and now we are stuck in a scenario where we have no other option but to EAT AT HOME, WORK AT HOME, WORK FROM HOME. The kids had no more parks but they need to STUDY AT HOME AND PLAY AT HOME. People are getting ample of time for the things they have always wanted to do but time became a major issue. The teachers of many institutes have now got the time to be double productive with the same input. Could we ever imagine teaching our kids online by creating our video lectures which we send them to study and the same video lectures are being used to be posted online on our own blogs and YouTube channels. On the smarter side if you’re smart enough to upload them on YouTube first and then sending the link to your students. It’s like BOOM to have 100 views in a day. Even the students are much curious to like and subscribe these videos. So, one can easily achieve a great number of followers on their blogs if using the time wisely. Working from home is not only by choice but also a necessity or the need of the hour. Equally important is to keep the students involved and engaged in the online classes. The paper discusses various measures for the same.

Symbol of light in “Paternal lantern” by Roman Fedoriv

The paper deals with the novel “Paternal Lantern” by Roman Fedoriv, namely with the symbolic meanings the light acquires according to its material representation in the work. The writer interprets this symbol, common for the cultures of the whole world, in a rather original way. In the novel, the sunlight is associated with the human internal strength and power of nature; it is a precondition for life as well as evidence of righteous existence on earth. The sunset symbolizes approaching death and thereby manifests the man’s need to rethink his way of life. The fire is a source of light and heat, and even, in accordance with ancestral beliefs, an abode of the deity; therefore it is frequently treated as a guarantee of family’s happiness and longevity, as a patron of the house. The fire has the power to clear evil and passions out; however, it also symbolizes love, which needs care not less than a bonfire. The ambivalence of the fire, namely the fire of life and the one of death, caused by its origin and destination, represents opposite principles of the universe. The ‘free’ fire, lit in the open air due to the community’s will, resembles the lantern of Halychyna land for the novel’s characters. Hidden in the depths of human being, the outbursts of anger, the experience of happiness and joy, and still untapped potential, which makes a person capable of making great things, are also associated with fire. The candle symbolizing “light that enlightens everyone” accompanies characters’ good thoughts and actions, it can be a prophetic sign or guide to the afterlife. The function of ‘lantern’ in the novel is also performed by the things related not to the physical light but the shine of life, insight, and true understanding. These are home (native land), a righteous person, art and texts, minstrels, scholars and teachers that bring enlightenment to the people, help them search for truth and pass it on to the next generations leaving the trace of light in their descendants’ memory.

Bringing Ethics Back to Friedman's Call to Purpose for the Next 50 Years

Fifty years ago, Friedman compellingly presented his argument for shareholder primacy. But as currently implemented, shareholder primacy threatens the unifying purposes that drove people to form corporations to begin with. It’s time for a re-examination of what binds us together to do great things.

The social perception of monastic life between falsity and reality in contemporary world

Analysis of the misled mundane perceptions of monasteries and monastic life, and finding ways to change this concepts to the appropriate social reality in order to improve relations between the mundane and the monastic population, and also to increase the role of monasteries in moral and spiritual development of adolescents and youth. The key to this problem is communion, meaning together-living, together-working and together-thinking. The great revelation of Christianity was and is that the community comes first, either the big or the small communtiy. Great empires have induced the illusion that the great things, the secrets and the keys to our lives they are somewhere above or outside the small circle of our lives.

Is Vladimir Putin a strong leader?

ABSTRACT A strong leader – i.e. an individual who concentrates great power in his hands and uses it to solve the country’s problems – is often considered a good thing in contemporary politics. Vladimir Putin has always presented himself as precisely this kind of leader. This article considers whether Putin actually is a strong leader who has used his powers to do great things for Russia. The analysis begins by considering whether Putin is a strong leader in terms of the powers that he holds. It then assesses whether Putin has used these powers to solve Russia’s problems in terms of economic development, order, and national standing. Russia here is compared to the other states of the Former Soviet Union, as they all share a common Soviet heritage and have been subject to comparable structural forces. The study utilizes the data (arguably underused in the field) provided by institutions such as the World Bank to examine a large number of socio-economic factors. If Putin really is a strong leader who has transformed Russia, we would expect performance in Russia to be better than in these other countries. The article finds that Russia’s record is average at best and that Putin is an unexceptional leader.

COVID-19's multipronged attack on mental health: Months of uncertainty and threats to health, social, and financial security have contributed to intense anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and even suicide.

The graffiti art and the discover of the Keith Haring’s mural in Amsterdam

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the continuous growth of the art world (Street Art in particular) and to discuss how it is essential for the discovery of artists. These artists have been pioneers and forerunners of new pictorial techniques, freeing creative and psychological flair, and combining the latter with the artistic technology that promises great things despite limited materials. 
 The intention of this article is to consider the elements of artistic expression that are less commonly subject to discussion, such as the world of Street Art. This form of artwork has not always been understood or accepted, with street artists waiting for the opportune moment to express the narrative, experiences, and emotions of society through their artwork, a power that unites sentiment and encourages change. 
 It is art which affects the community, the population and society. It is designed above all others to become part of the collective memory through violence of image and colour. 
 This project led me to come into contact with one of the many artistic artefacts of the Street Art movement, the Keith Haring’s mural in Amsterdam, a piece that makes me. understand and appreciate the problems inherent to these type of works, simple, synthetic, but never simplistic. 
 Therefore, a project, a study and a restoration hypothesis were conducted on one of the many works by Haring. The purpose of this was to shed light once again on the mural made in 1986 by the artist, situated in the Groothandeles Market of Amsterdam. No longer visible for thirty years, the mural was covered by insulation panels placed two years after its creation.
 With professors Antonio Rava and William Shank, the association Keith Haring Foundation of New York, the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, in collaboration with the gallery Vroom & Varossieau, specialised in road art, on 8 June, the large metal sheet panels were removed and one of the greatest murals by Haring could once again be admired.

Extending Your Reach: Creating Topical Guides Featuring Government Information

Many government information guides are targeted, purposefully or not, at researchers who already know that government resources exist and are useful. They often are divided by governmental departments or branches. While these serve a purpose and are worth maintaining, it is also useful to provide subject or topical guides that coincidently (well, not really coincidently) feature government resources. This article will describe what one librarian created to support the local community and will provide suggestions for how others can create similar resources. Additionally, with permission and credit, duplicating other’s materials is one of the great things about the web. Seeking out existing guides and pointing to them is another way to extend your library guide reach. Because newer government information materials are increasingly available on the web and most libraries use the supplied Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) numbers for their print collections, existing guides will not need modification beyond local locations for print within buildings, something easily summarized at the top of the resource.
