THREE POSITIONS ON THE DEMOLITION OF THE ALBANIAN NATIONAL THEATRE
Three cultural workers discuss political implications of the National theatre's demolition
In May 2020, the National Theatre of Albania was demolished under the administration of artist-cum-Prime Minister Edi Rama, violently bulldozing the historical architecture and everything that remained therein. The event, which took place in the early morning hours, was preceded by two years of public resistance against the destruction, with protesters eventually occupying the building as a last resort. Now flattened to the ground, the former historical site gives way to the Prime Minister's hobbyhorse of a €30 million investment scheme, that comes as disproportionate to the Albanian economics at large, and is ignorant of matters such as historical conservation, building protection and the needs of the local art scene.
Yet the concern of this article is another. The meaning of the demolition of the National Theatre may not be fully grasped in terms of its idiosyncratic and alarming nature, without taking a closer look at, which Rama has ventured in to the ends of – questionable – international acclaim ever since the facade project that turned Tirana into a large scale canvas, which was commemorated for posterity in Anri Sala’s Dammi i colori. By means of three positions, we will address the demolition of the theatre as a telling symptom of the art-politics-complex, whose ills (and sleeping potentials) concern us all if we are to reclaim a working relationship between those two fields. The theatre cannot be resurrected, but the assumption of a working relationship between art and politics remains a living matter that urgently calls to be ‘restored’ and reclaimed.

1. Position: Jonida Gashithe Hubei province in order to contain the outbreak of a new coronavirus in its capital of Wuhan. Within a matter of weeks, many more governments had followed suit, including Albania, effectively plunging vast territories and populations under some kind of state of emergency.
It would be naive to think that with the (yet to come) waning of the pandemic, the emergency measures imposed by governments the world over will also magically disappear. Indeed, all signs already point to the contrary. Given these conditions, as well as the popular uprisings that have swept up the United States and those taking place elsewhere in the world, the relationship between art and politics becomes an even more urgent question than usual. In order to measure up to the task, art will have to strike at the heart of the issue, namely, sovereign power.
In the past seven years, Albania has functioned as a laboratory in which the terms of engagement that will determine the future relationship between art and politics were being defined. I remember vividly when, in July 2015, Albanian PM Edi Rama posed outside of the brand new Centre for Openness and Dialogue (COD) on the ground floor of the Prime Minister’s Office with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I alsoRama and Merkel in conversation with Anri Sala and Thomas Demand inside the COD.
The Prime Minister’s Office is a prominent fascist-era building located in the center of Tirana that has been a symbol of state, i.e., sovereign, power throughout its history. The (luxurious!) transformation of a portion of that building into a multifunctional cultural center comprising an exhibition space, a screening annex, a library, and a conference room, all of which would be open to the public, was going to change not just people's experience and perception of that building, it was going to change their experience and perception of the state itself.
I remember thinking to myself that the success or failure of the COD was going to depend on the degree to which it would allow itself to be vandalized, stormed, and/or occupied by protesters. I did not immediately understand that the mere existence of the COD was seen as having rendered protesting obsolete. Hence Rama's oft-extended (though so far unheeded) invitation to protesters to swap the streets and the squares for the ultra-designed interior of the COD; to swap the disobedient, protesting body (outside) for a docile body (inside); to swap shouting at the government for polite conversation with the government.
It was a neat trick: positing the future horizon of politics as having already been achieved in the present. The infinitely postponed future of the socialist realist art of yesteryear had been replaced by a future that was already history, i.e., dead. That is why the Centre for Openness and Dialogue could not coexist alongside a space like the historic National Theatre, another fascist-era building in the center of Tirana that since the summer of 2018 had become the site of a popular protest borne out of the typically obscene excesses of sovereign power.
In June 2018, Edi Rama’s government was emboldened by the suspension of the Constitutional Court when it used a highly questionable legal device known as a “Special Law” to transfer the land on which sat Albania’s National Theatre to a private developer. In May 2020, it was emboldened by its own draconian quarantinquash the National Theatre protest in the middle of the night, by deploying hundreds of police officers bearing no identification, some of them heavily armed.
What really “died” on 17th May 2020, however, was a very particular vision of the union of art and politics. In fact, it had already “died” on the day the Centre for Openness and Dialogue was inaugurated, they just didn’t know it.
Armando Lulaj, Armoured (2020)
2. Position: Sonja Lau
Over the course of the past two decades, Prime Minister Edi Rama has ventured as an artist within the international art world, benefitting from an entourage of influential curators and artistic colleagues. Thus, although in disguise, Albanian politics and the specific case of the demolition of the country’s National Theatre, is present wherever one meets the art world on a grand scale: it is necessarily an undercurrent to Rama's artistic production. In the same way it is not possible to slice one person into two, the artist-politician cannot act separately as artist or politician only. The artistic responsibility is always also a political one, and vice-versa.
Yet, Rama’s reception in the international art world has been such that while the mere coexistence of these two positions inside of him is continually celebrated, one is actually discouraged from using one position - be it that of the Prime Minister or the artist - to interrogate or scrutinise the other. The problem that this causes is more than a matter of unequal opportunities within the art world. It is the emptying out of a once complex, radical proposal for the sake of a personal career. Although Rama has been an important figure to instigate the artist-politician-complex and to test its potentials, it can only develop significance and future applications if it does not become an object or property. For some time now, the grand idea has not been expanded, but made to fit for purposes very much off the concerns of art and politics. It became a presidential property, and was accepted as such by the international arts community, in what seems a general consensus on prioritizing the lure of power over the malodour of power abuse.
What happens when an artist becomes Prime Minister is a very specific phenomenon, essentially played out by two diverging, if not irreconcilable chords. On the one hand, the artist is elevated onto a position that carries the responsibility for an entire country and each citizen living therein - a position of care. On the other hand, the PrimeMinister-artist finds himself in direct competition with the artists of his surroundings. He must care for and support the same citizens, including rivals if it comes to artistic careers and international visibility. To govern a country whilst being governed oneself by alternate, potentially stronger artistic positions, is no easy scenario. One way to resolve this awkward imbalance is by raising oneself to the status of artist-sovereign. The previously mentioned Center for Openness and Dialogue is an example of how to do so. To demolish a theatre that is considered by the public as a site of production independent from the state's sovereign narratives, provides for another.
When I worked in 2013 at the National Theatre to curate a performance by Armando Lulaj in collaboration with John Tilbury, we could not yet assume what was awaiting this historical architecture. Or, maybe the artist did, since his reading of a long edit of “classified cables” stirred certain premonitions. That was just a week before the general elections. I remember that the theatre did not feel like an ally or accomplice, but was encountered with a subtle, somewhat gentle uneasiness that would often be sensed when entering state institutions at the time. It was a feeling of meeting up with history without having the chance to be properly introduced.
I left Tirana that year. The theatre began to grow new relationships, it became more and more acquainted. The nature of this change was not so much happening on the level of production, but on the level of the theatre's reception and its role within society. It wasn't feared for anything related to Communism and even less as a reminder of the Italian occupation. On the contrary, it became tangible and intellectually feasible that history belongs to those living in the present. It obliterated conceptions of “shame”, or respectively “progress” that had often been strategically used to legitimize new investment schemes versus the preservation of historical buildings. Who would be to blame anyhow, if it wasn't the politics of the present day? In other words, the theatre didn't serve anymore as a metaphor for the better present against the imperfect past. It began to make its own claims. This knowledge proved dangerous.
With the demolition of the theatre, we have to acknowledge the exposure of a sovereign's gesture, the turning from the 'artist-politician', to the 'artist-autocrat'. This shift is significant, because it entangles the project of the art-and-politics complex with the risk of losing its democratic base – which prompts complex questions on how to proceed with the project at all. There is tragedy and then there is farce, but then, what now? If we really are to consider politics through the lens of an artistic experiment, as Rama himself has suggested, we also need to look at the monstrous creatures that may arise from the lab. In the end, we have to take an ethical position. Everything else would betray what could be achieved when art foregrounds political and social development.
3. Position: Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei
As the BLM protests sweeping across the globe make amply clear, the Western world is still deeply troubled by an ingrained and institutionalized racism, in areas of society as different as law enforcement, politics, and academia. The white, cis-het male superiority or “savior” complex that is its flipside also occurs prominently in the field of architecture, where such figures are often hailed as “starchitects,” Zaha Hadid being no doubt the exception that confirms the rule. These starchitects propose “planetary solutions” drafted during weekend retreats, while innovating green, sustainable modes of living for the autocrats of the world.
The demolition of the National Theater under the pretext of a redevelopment scheme is directly the result of the “good intentions” of one such blissfully white, male, and heterosexual architect, Bjarke Ingels (who apparently called his son Darwin, let that sink in). Even though Ingels, whose design for the new National Theater touted by Prime Minister Edi Rama was clearly ripped off from a Ukrainian competition design for an opera house in Busan, South Korea, refused to publicly engage or listen to the many critical voices in Albania, he did use his privilege as prominent Danishman recently to write an op-ed in the daily Politiken, which puts his savior complex widely on display.
He starts by unironically sketching out Albania as a country so poor that “scenes from Borat [...] were actually filmed” there, while also not failing to mention that the kidnappers of Liam Neeson’s daughter in Taken were Albanians. Having set the stage of a country so unfairly portrayed by Hollywood, Ingels then sings the praises of Edi Rama, the former “social-liberal” (sic!) mayor of Tirana and current prime minister:
As I have argued extensively elsewhere, the relational esthetics approach imported by Edi Rama and Hans Ulrich Obrist into the “redevelopment” of Albania “with a bucket of paint” has effectively become a form of sophisticated government propaganda, which promotes the fact that Rama is an artist-politician to obfuscate his actual artworks and policies. Once we look at his artistic output - decades worth of colorful doodles on government documents without any discernible development (the definition of a one-trick pony) - or his policies leading to steady decline on all corruption and media freedom indexes, there is nothing “social-liberal” or progressive to be seen.
In his op-ed, Bjarke Ingels places himself squarely in the relational esthetics propaganda framework set up by Rama and Obrist, referring to a “symposium” in 2013, where he “together with a number of local and international artists, writers, film people, and architects,” was “invited to hatch ideas for Albania's future development.” Out of these discussions, then, the plan for a “new National Theater” was hatched.
It is a nice little case study of how toxic white masculinity has invaded every pore of Western culture, and offers a measure of the enormous task that awaits us to decolonize the art and architecture world
Fast forward to 2020. The National Theater has been destroyed, contractor FUSHA Ltd. has officially withdrawn from tender negotiations, with the government suspiciously backtracking earlier statements about absence of state funds. Yet all of this Ingels brushes aside as irrelevant, internal politics that he doesn’t meddle with. Instead, he plays the victim. He complains that he is now caught in a “shit storm,” “accused of triggering ‘violence and corruption’.” He even claims that the National Theater project is "not a matter of BIG getting rich: it's going to cost us a lot,” which he considers a matter “for which we are not praised.” Here speaks the hurt ego of the white savior: look at all this amazing work I’m doing for nothing in this poor country where they filmed Borat! And all I get is protests and police violence?!
Bjarke Ingels’s response to the “shit show” he is co-responsible for shows us the wafer-thin skin and fragile ego – “we are not praised!” – as the perennial characteristics of the white savior. .

AMMAN — Jordanians sent almost 1.5 million SMSs to inquire about public services via the e-government programm2013, Jordanians sent 2.1 million SMSs to inquire about public services, according to figures e-mailed to The Jordan Times.
In 2012, they sent 1.083 million SMSs to ask about government services.
The top five services Jordanians inquire about are the ranking of their applications at the Civil Service Bureau, traffic tickets, weather forecast, water bills and income tax, the ministry said.
Meanwhile, government agencies sent 14.838 million messages since early 2014 to mobile users in the Kingdom to highlight services they provide or to raise awareness on certain issues, according to the ministry.
Codes of services can be found at www.jordan.gov.jo.
Mobile users can also access the 40 services by downloading an application from the same website.
These services include allowing people to obtain security clearances and background check certificates, renew professional and commercial registrations at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, renew business licences, inquire about traffic tickets and check weather forecasts.
Although the number of SMSs Jordanians sent in 2013almost doubled, several citizens called for more efforts to promote the services.

I recently needed to create some additional, temporary workers on our Samples cloud instance of Octopus Deploy. As I only needed short-lived workers, containers seemed like the perfect solution. I'd spin them up, they'd do some work, and I'd tear them down. In this post, I demonstrate how to create workers in a container hosted in Azure, perform a health check, and install additional software components.
Spin up the workers
The first step we need to perform, is to create a runbook. This post assumes you have some familiarity with our runbooks feature.
My runbook consists of the following steps:
Create a Azure Resource Group
Run an ARM template to create the Octopus Deploy Tentacle container
I'm using Microsoft's Azure platform in this example but it's also possible to use any other cloud including AWS and Google Cloud. Our Creating EC2 instance in AWS with CloudFormation blog post covers a similar scenario in AWS with a detailed example.
For ease of removal and overall tidiness, the first step creates an Azure Resource Group using the Run an Azure Script step:
$resourceGroupName = $OctopusParameters["Azure.Network.ResourceGroup.Name"]
Run an ARM template
Azure Container instances are a quick and easy way to spin up a worker container. Using a small Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template, we can automate the creation of the Octopus Tentacle container.
"numberCpuCores": {
"name": "[parameters('containerName')]",
"image": "[parameters('imageName')]",
"cpu": "[int(parameters('numberCpuCores'))]",
"memoryInGB": "[float(parameters('memory'))]"
"ports": "[parameters('ports')]",
"environmentVariables": "[parameters('environmentVariables')]"
"restartPolicy": "[parameters('restartPolicy')]",
"type": "[parameters('ipAddressType')]",
"dnsNameLabel": "[parameters('dnsNameLabel')]"
The template requires some parameters to be entered:
location: Location code in Azure, i.e. centralus
containerName: The name of the container
imageType: Public | Private
imageName: octopusdeploy/tentacle
osType: Linux | Windows
numberCpuCores: Number of cores to use
memory: Number (in GB) to use for the container
restartPolicy: See Docker documentation for options
ipAddressType: Public | Private
ports: Array of ports to expose
dnsNameLabel: DNS prefix for DNS entry - i.e. [dnsNameLabel].[AzureRegion].azurecontainer.io
environmentVariables: Array of environment variables to pass to container
This template will spin up an Azure Container instance of the Octopus Deploy Tentacle.
I chose the Linux variant as it is much smaller than the Windows container (254.39 MB versus 2.27 GB).
The built-in health check template only works for deployment targets, however, there is a community step that was developed specifically for workers: Worker - Health Check. Running this step ensures our worker is healthy and ready for the next step.
The workers were going to need to interact with both Azure and AWS. The Tentacle image has the bare minimum software required to run, so I needed to install the following:
With deployment targets, you execute steps against all targets with a specific role. Since workers don't have roles, I needed to find an alternative. The Script Console lets you execute the same code against all workers within a pool. Because Octopus is written API-first, I was able to duplicate the functionality of the Script Console to run the code to install the additional software against the whole pool via the API:
$workerPoolName = $OctopusParameters['Project.WorkerPool.Name']
if ($baseUrl.EndsWith("/"))
$baseUrl = $baseUrl.SubString(0, $baseUrl.LastIndexOf("/"))
$workerPool = ((Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$baseUrl/api/$spaceId/workerpools/all" -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"}) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $workerPoolName})
Name = "AdHocScript"
Description = "Script run from management console"
MachineIds = @
TargetRoles = @
EnvironmentIds = @
WorkerIds = @
WorkerPoolIds = @
TargetType = "WorkerPools"
Syntax = "Bash"
ScriptBody = @"
# Install az module
echo "Installing az module ..."
pwsh -Command "& {Install-Module az -Scope AllUsers -Force}" > /tmp/azModuleInstall.log
# Install Az cli
sudo apt-get install awscli -y
$scriptTask = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$baseUrl/api/tasks" -Body ($jsonPayload | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10) -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"})
# Check to see if the health check is queued
while
Write-Output "Waiting 5 seconds ..."
$scriptTask = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$baseUrl/api/tasks/$($scriptTask.Id)" -Headers @{"X-Octopus-ApiKey"="$apiKey"})
Write-Output "Installation complete!"
Because I needed to create more than one worker, steps 2 and 3 were created multiple times in my process
Containerized workers
When configured in Listening mode, the Tentacle container is coded to automatically connect to your Octopus Server and register itself to the specified worker pool. After the runbook completed, I had three, healthy workers.

In mid-February, Donetsk and Kiev are going to hold a regular exchange of prisoners with the freedom of a total of about 160 people. In DND it was officially stated Commissioner for human rights Daria Morozova, and from Kiev with “MK” shared information Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Hope Savchenko. Most likely, the Russians will not fall under the exchange, but from the torture chamber can leave the soldiers of “Berkut”.
According to Morozova, in February the Donetsk is going to rescue from captivity Ukrainian 84 people. In this regard, an official in the breakaway Republic calls on relatives of Ukrainian prisoners to contact her for clarification of data.a also said that the exchange could take place if not in February then in March. In his opinion, this will push, including the head of Russia Vladimir Putin that it is important to do just before the election.
Recall the previous exchange took place on 27 December 2017, and although he was the first in a year and a half, ended in a major scandal. The Ukrainian side was to free the 306 people in exchange of 74 prisoners of the DNI and LC. However, the contact line crossed only 233 people on one side and 73 on the other. Already at the checkpoint, where he agreed to release people, it turned out that someone from the Ukrainian prisoners who received a pardon, refused to leave the territory of the breakaway republics, and someone simply deleted from lists. Including the exchange did not get convicted for particularly serious articles and Russians.
Anyway, this time the list of prisoners with the Ukrainian side will be approximately equal to the list Morozova as the Dec Kiev declared “154 held hostage”. Among others, they have to release the three members of the elite 3rd Kirovohrad special forces regiment. They were captured in 2014, and since then, their relatives were the recognized leaders of the Ukrainian social movement for the liberation of the prisoners.
Of the famous civil prison in Donetsk remained a journalist, “Zn” and the Kiev edition of radio “Freedom” Stanislav Aseev. He was arrested in the early summer of 2017, his name regularly popped up in all meetings of the humanitarian sub-group in Minsk, but the DNR is unwilling to give it. In Donetsk claim they’re looking for when the court will render judgment against him for espionage, but according to rumors, the delay associated with Aseeva unwillingness to admit his guilt. In addition, the lists should get a doctor Elena Lazareva and entrepreneur Andrew Kuchmuradov accused of Donetsk, in cooperation with SBU. According to relatives, read grateful video message they advised the lawyer recommended by the MGB. “Said that it would be a quick court verdict and the exchange!” – sparingly commented on the source of the “MK” in Donetsk.
Lists from the self-proclaimed republics line up is no less complicated. No wonder Daria Morozova called relatives “turn to the Ombudsman for verification of personal data of prisoners”. The experience of the last exchange, when more than 60 people at the last moment refused to go to Donetsk and Lugansk, there are many to attend to.
Ukraine is in custody “in reserve” are citizens of Russia, the soldiers of “Berkut”, sitting still for the events on the Maidan, who were arrested after may 2, 2014 “Odessa”. All of them, and all charged with serious crimes, are still on exchange are not taken out.
Now not publicly, the Ukrainian government is trying to decide who to “give” with minimal political complications. “The exchange will be in the near future, he should be held before mid-February – expressed his point of view “MK”I think that Poroshenko does not want to advertise the lists, because there are agreements on those they promised not to give, perhaps for the “Golden eagles” or the like. I think that out of this exchange by far will remain the Russians, who are prepared only to exchange Ukrainian prisoners in Russia. Otherwise, accurate information on the list you now no one can say. There is bargaining for the people!”
Lists of Russians in Ukrainian prisons have two – one on 15 names, and one with 24. Both has MC and knows that “15” is recognizussians also prepare a legally. Accelerated by the courts in the case of a contractor of the 4th infantry brigade of the people’s militia of the DPR Victor Ageev. The Ukrainian Prosecutor’s office ceased to call him contractor of the Russian army and his court took lightning form, meetings are almost every week. “We go to the next court session on January 24, reported “MK” the lawyer Viktor Ageyev Chevguz. – To be able to convert my client server it needs to obtain sentence and is due to expire the month of the appeal on the verdict. So I’m not surprised with the pace of the court.”

POSTED ON March 27, 2015
We’re ready to make way for spring! The changing of the season marks the beginning of spring weddings – the perfect opportunity to use colors that symbolize the return of life to plants and trees.
To help in the planning of the big day we’ve focused on a few flower choices that’ll go great with your spring wedding!
When deciding on floral arrangements for the centerpieces and bouquets the first flower type to consider are daisies. With petals that are often white it gives you the ability to match with a variety of other colors and textures.
Lilacs are most often a shade of light purple. Lilacs often have multiple stems and are a popular choice because of their sweet smell and beautiful petals.
Lastly, we’ve chosen orchids – a large and diverse family of flowers. Many times the colors of orchids are a light pastel and vary in length allowing them to have many uses.
The changing of the seasons brings the reappearance of bright, beautiful plantlife across the Coral House grounds with blue skies overhead.
Inside the Coral House, lively, rich spring colors and pastels grace our many rooms. We are looking forward to our Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 5th! Brunch and dinner seatings along with fun activities for the whole family [including an appearance by the Easter Bunny] will be taking place from late morning into the afternoon!
Brunch: 11:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 12:30 p.m.
Dinner: 3:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m.
Following Easter, the Coral House has 3 dates for communion galas [April 25th, May 2nd, and May 9th] to make your child’s first communion a day to remember!
We look forward to seeing you and wish you a happy spring!

We are reaching the end of another atv riding season!
David was up for a visit and is doing very well. His medical folks tell him he is way ahead of where they though he would be !We had held a couple of fund raising events and we gave him the check when we saw he and Linda. They were extremely touched, and appreciated all the care and concern it showed for them. Being David, the guy with one leg immediately asked us to donate it to Camp CaPella for camperships. He figured the camp needed it more than he did!
Wishing everyone a happy and safe winter, be careful out there !
Several club members rode from Molasses Pond to the Diner by a roundabout way on the 15th and had a great day. The weather was perfect, our trails were well marked. We did manage to find some very rough patches, but survived just fine. A lot of wild life was out and we observed a bald eagle, a hawk, 3 partridges (each in a different location), a mama deer, a baby moose and 2 turtles!We took a picture of the most mysterious sight on our voyage. can you tell what it is?
THE BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN !
We thank Ken Jordan and family for their help moving the steel, and Peter Poors, Mike and Marlene Sullivan, Steve Catlin, Frank Janusz, Dave and Kenny for approximately 200 hours of work. I must also mention that the day before the bridge was completed, six riders from the Newport area happened along and jumped right in to help haul lumber before they turned around and headed back!
Trailmaster David Bridges should be able to come back in july so trailmaster Peter Poors went out and got hit by a truck and broke his ankle just to keep up. They met at Frank and Maryanns to talk over strategy !
Airline Swamp Donkey trail masters consultation!
Looks like Pete got tired of David getting all the attention with his broken ankle ( he's been healing for 2 years ). He went out and tried to stop a dump truck with his foot. Truck 1, Pete 0. Broken ankle. They were able to get together today at Frank and Maryann's and compare notes and possible return to duty times !

As a Mellon Innovation Fellow, Dr. Haynes utilized the funds and support to explore more carefully about what other liberal arts colleges are contributing to the prison education movement, and developed a pilot Search course at the Mark Luttrell Correctional Facility that has become the basis for a broader program of prison education at Rhodes.
Dr. Haynes’s interest in taking this step toward developing a prison education program at Rhodes was piqued in August 2014 when he was contacted by Richard Goode, director of David Lipscomb University’s Lipscomb Initiative for Education (LIFE), which offered for-credit college courses in Nashville area prisons. Prof. Goode reported that the success of the LIFE program at The Tennessee Prison for Women in Nashville had led to “a steady flow of letters” from women ats inquiring if a similar program might be made available to them. Goode asked Dr. Haynes to gauge interest at Rhodes for reaching out to inmates at the Luttrell facility (and perhaps other local prisons).
Subsequent research, conversation and reflection led Dr. Haynes to conclude that offering Search in local prisons represented a unique opportunity for Rhodes to 1) engage the broader community in a qualitatively new fashion; 2) develop an innovative learning space for our students and 3) emulate successful community engagement efforts at some leading liberal arts institutions. The program also provided a community-based opportunity to test the College’s claim that studying the liberal arts provides an indispensable preparation for life, regardless of one’s circumstances and goals.
In this sense, the project represented an extension of Rhodes’s commitment to the liberal arts as a unique form of education. It also reflected the College’s commitment to engaging students in a “challenging, inclusive and culturally-broadening college experience” in order “tis.” Finally, there was solid evidence that prison education programs can improve outcomes for inmates and thus benefit the larger community of which Rhodes is a part.i
Dr. Haynes’s preliminary research revealed three interesting facts. First, prisoners’ access to higher education was significantly diminished since 1994, when incarcerated students were excluded from the Pell Grant program.ii Furthermore, restrictions on prisoners’ access to the internet make on-line study difficult. Second, according to The Prison Studies Project at Harvard, there are currently no higher education prison programs in West Tennessee or anywhere in the states of Mississippi or Arkansas. Third, while prison education in the South has been dominated by universities and government agencies,iii in other regions of the country leading liberal arts institutions have led the way.
These include Bard College (Bard Prison Initiative) and Wesleyan University (Wesleyan Center for Prison Education). In addition, a number of national liberal arts colleges are in the process of developing their own prison education programs. One of the organizations supporting this work is the Alliance to Advance Liberal Arts Colleges, which in 2013-14 sponsored a Collaborative Workshop on Prison Education and a Liberal Arts Education for faculty members from Amherst, Scripps, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Smith, Grinnell and Haverford. Also, Bard College’s Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, launched in 2009, has helped establish programs at Goucher, Holy Cross, Notre Dame and Washington University. Reflecting the growing prominence of these programs, a National Conference on Prison Higher Education has met annually since 2010.
Dr. Haynes’s proposal to pilot a version of the Search program in local prisons was supported by Search Director Geoff Bakewell and together they consulted with Assistant Professor of Religious Studies Rhiannon Graybill, who as a graduate student taught at San Quentin Prison as part of California’s Prison University Project. The Faculty Innovation Program appealed to Dr. Haynes because it would allowed him to continue the planning process in a community of practice dedicated to innovative pedagogy and community engagement.
Two matters in particular required further exploration: First, how could Rhodes courses that are open to inmates have to be revised or adapted? Prison education programs at other liberal arts colleges have found that academic expectations can remain high. The Bard program claims, for instance, that “inca” The same appears to be true at Wesleyan, where a faculty committee is charged with ensuring that courses taught in local prisons are characterized by the same academic rigor as those taught on campus.
A second question was how exactly Rhodes students would contribute to and benefit from a Rhodes College prison education program. Dr. Haynes’s hope was to create classroom spaces in which traditional students and inmates meet together (so-called “Inside-Out Teaching”). Iin a unique community setting, this program inevitably created other student opportunities as well. For instance, Wesleyan’s prison education program offers “volunteer and service-learning opportunities for main-campus students….including serv[ing] as writing tutors and teaching assistants for courses at [local prisons].”
Dr. Haynes studies the Holocaust, religion and racism, and religion and literature, along with Jd religion and higher education.


An understandable Anglophobia among succeeding generations of Irish Americans combined with Jeffersonian Americanism to solidify a philosophical isolationism that remained in place until the Second World War. In fact, until Pearl Harbor, many Irish Americans were reluctant to fight a war to "save the British Empire!

Summary YUSTE project
PROJECT Y.U.S.T.E. SUMMARY
The project, as its name indicates, “Y.U.S.T.E. (Youth Up, Sharing Talent for Europe)”, has as main objective to gather 5o have already shown a social concern and commitment in their communities, to complement their educational-training through collaborative experiences,:
3) To experience the wealth represented by the diversity of the different European peoples. For this, a gastronomic-musical soirée will be held every night, in which the members of each country communicate the best of their history, gastronomy and folklore. Participants will hold rhythm, music, dance and interpretation workshops. Through these leisure activities they will also develop teamwork skills, preparing, with the participation of all, a musical show that they would present in a public performance at the end of the exchange.
4) We will take advantage of the fact that the project will be carried out in Extremadura. In century XVI Extremadura was main protagonist of the encounter between two worlds as a consequence of the discovery of America; Francico Pizarro in Peru and Hernán Cortes in Mexico, came in contact with the main civilizations existing in that continent. With the visit to Trujillo and Guadalupe we will be able to approach the importance that the encounter of cultures had for European civilization.
5) This year we want each of the organizations involved to prepare a full day of activities on the theme and content that they consider more appropriate to the activities they normally develop. We will focus the integration of immigrants’ problem.
6) It will also be given to the meeting a character of valorisation of all the attitudes that promote the total integration of all the groups with some limitation.
In addition to the individual learning, which will involve each participant to experience this experience, and the local and regional impact that the Project is going to involve, a video summary of the exchange will be developed, which will be disseminated through the different participating Organizations and will be available on YouTube As in the web, in which all the events related to this exchange, currently under development, which can be consulted at: http://www.youth4europe.org.
This year the exchange will take place in Cáceres, from the 19th to the 29th of July 2017.

OVER to the other side of the Atlantic, where all eyes are fixed on the US presidential race. Our focus, however, will not be on the race as such, but on a related development: the vigorous left-democratic mobilisation around the candidacy of Bernie Sanders,a hitherto unknown figure who is giving the heavyweighte contest for Democratic Party (DP) nomination.
“Bernie Sander. As a young activisfor Racial Equality. He81, he won the position of Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, as an independent, and subsequently won reelection even when they joined hands to defeat him. During his tenure as mayor, Burlington developed “sister city” relationships with Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua in 1984, during the Sandinista Revolution, and Yaroslavl, USSR in 1989, much to the chagrin of the Regan administration. Vermont, once again running as an independent. However, this marked beginning of his long association with the Democratic Party. In 2006, he was elected to the US Senate as an independent, but with the support of the Democratic Party leadership.
said in an interview with the Guardian in November 2006: “Twenty years ago, ... Now they think about Scandinavia.” In another 2006 Democracy Now interview, he said, “In terms of socialism, I think there is a lot to be learned from Scandinavia and from some of the work, very good work that people have done in Europe. In countries like Finland, Norway, Denmark, "
On foreign policy,opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, he supported the war on Serbia in 1999 and invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. In 2001, Sanders votedthat was the legal justification for military actions since the September 11. On the Palestinian-Israel issue, although, he has supported a political solution but has shied away from taking any firm action. More recently, heDuring the Democratic presidential debate in Florida, Sanders strongly denounced US interventionism across the world. He said and to support efforts of overthrowing governments in Chile, Guatemala and Nicaragua. He denounced the Monroe Doctrine, which said that the United States had the right to do anything they wanted to do in Latin America. Ttting involved in regime change, he asserted.
The appeal of Bernie Sanders has largely been his campaign against growing income inequality and capitalist greed. He stands for health care which is based on a state run Medicare program. In the era of high college fee, he has promised tuition free education. He has championed the Robin Hood tax and College for All act that would set a levy 0.5% on most stock transactions that would fund education and healthcare. Sanders supports an hourly minimum wage of $15 which is a key demand of organized labor. Despite this pro-worker stand, merely three unions have endorsed him and most unions are supporting the Democratic establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton. Sanders supports raising the income tax and loweringespoused these progressive issues on the domestic front. No wonder the word socialism has grown in popularity. According a recent survey , 42% of Democrats have a favorable opinion of the ideology. Interestingly, among 18 to 29-year-olds, the favorable view of socialism has grown from 36% (May 2015) to 43% (January 2016). The ruling class is shocked that socialism is no longer a dirty word. This is noteworthy in a country seeped in McCarthy era rhetoric and cold war ideology. Also of importance, while the reactionary wing of the ruling class - theamong others - are attempting to attract a section of the working class and middle class with their immigrant bashing and racist ideology, a section of the working class and middle class are moving towards the 'socialist' platform of Bernie Sanders. Still, Sanders' socialism is actually a social democratic capitalist state where “private companies ... thrive and grow”.
What lies behind the sudden rise of Bernie Sanders? One obvious factor is youth support, as a columnist in UK explains.
In this commentary published in The Guardian (4 February 2016) OwenJones cites data on the voting patterns on Democratic primaries to show how the veteran Sanders was drawing overwhelming support from the young while “It was older Americans who flocked to Clinton’s camp…. The generations appeared separated by a political chasm.
W
Results of the Iowa Caucus primary are revealing. The candidate  was defeated by Hillary Clinton by a mere 0.3%. In households with an income below $30,000 a year, Sanders beat Clinton 57% to 41%, while amongst those making over $100,000 a year, Clinton beat Sanders 55 to 37%. On the other hand, amongst those who said they were participating in caucuses for the first time, Sanders beat Clinton 59% to 37%. Evidently,he has managed to enthuse particularly the youth, the low-income groups and new participants.
The Sanders campaign seems to be drawing enthusiastic support from ex-occupy activists, for many of whom that movement provided the very first experience of direct involvement in politics. In fact it was the People for Bernie Sanders, a group of ex-Occupy activists, who encouraged Sanders to run in this election, supported by the Progressive Democrats of America, which urged him to run as a Democrat.
For a progressive left-leaning Democrat who had steered clear of both establishment parties for the best part of his long , off-beat political career, but had no political programme or organisation of his own, to allow himself to be drawn into the vortex of the DP was a necessary price for making it big to the national political scene. But that does not detract from the fact that Sanders’ entry into the race has served to push the political discourse in the 2016 election towards a less bigoted, more progressive direction.Coming as it does as a kind of political follow-up on the Occupy Movement, that’s no small matter.
Sanders’ positions on issues like Israel and Iraq war are obviously inconsistent with a democratic viewpoint; how about his ‘socialism’? Essentially, it is a contemporary American version of what the Communist Manifesto had labelled as “bourgeois socialism” aimed at “Sanitized of any revolutionary content though, this trend however represents the spontaneous strivings of the American masses for making themselves heard in the corridors of power, for reclaiming democracy from the clutches of big corporations, for influencing policy decisions in favour of the 99%. This is what makes it – the Sanders campaign and its mass impact taken together – immensely progressive as a popular resistance to decades of neoliberal aggression (see box) on people’s lives and democratic rights.
In an era of ascendancy of revolutionary socialism and supposedly impending downfall of the bourgeois order, the authors of Communist Manifesto were fully justified in their sharp criticism and rejection of “conservative or bourgeois socialism”. But in the present period marked by setback/crisis of socialism and domination of neoliberalism, the popularization of even a vaguely defined socialism/social democracy in a country like the US is certainly a welcome development, the inconsistency in theory notwithstanding.
“… Humiliated in Vietnam, 1970s America was further concerned that the losers of the second world war (Germany and Japan in the lead) were catching up at top speed. The US also suffered from the oil crisis, inflation and under-indexation of tax schedules. Surfing the waves of all these frustrations, Re

We are told in scripture in many places about the importance of enduranc2.
We know that those who run in a race need endurance to finish the race that they had set out to do.long distance running events. These runners soon learn the importance of pacing themselves so that they don’t get burned-out before the end of the race.
This analogy of running in a race is a good comparison to the endurance needed in the spiritual race we run in this life. For when troubles come, and they come to all of us, we need a long-term perspective of the road ahead of us, otherwise, our present circumstances will dishearten us so much that we lose sight of the finish line ahea.
I believe that our monetary trials are preparing us for the very difficult days that lie ahead. Just like the athlete that prepares every day with training, his muscles are being stretched and strengthened so that he or she can withstand a longer or more strenuous workout ahead.
For in the days ahead when the national grid has shut down, when the economy has collapsed, and food and water is scarce, the trials that you have endured earlier, will have strengthened you for these dark days ahead.
I personally don’t believe that we will have been raptured out of the coming tribulation which is to come. I believe that God will supernaturally provide and sustain His saints in the wilderness during those dark days. Our faith which is more precious than fine gold, will have been purified and we will shine like bright lights in the midst of a world where many will have lost hope, and will have given themselves over to the mark of the beast” 1 Peter 1:7.
Some think that they will be saved from these trials and tribulations which are to come. This sounds like a way out that God would provide for us . They would say, “Surely, a loving God would take us out of a world where evil is running rampant and fear and confusion would cause many to even take their own lives.” My answer to that is that a loving and just God would have used our previous trials and persecutions as a way of preparation for us. To be kept from the hour of testing which is to come upon the entire world, may well mean that we are saved from the time of wrath, and not the time of tribulation.
Remember that even many of the apostles suffered in various ways and lost their lives because of the gospel. We know that even today, there are many in other countries who suffer, are persecuted, and have been killed for their faith.
In conclusion, endurance and steadfastness are important attributes now, andus in the days ahead.


Proprietor J. R. Nuckles, who held a long-time lease on the new playhouse, closely monitored the construction progress, saying, "I am going to expend about $5,000 in furnishing the interior of the building and, naturally, I want to see that the architectural plans are carried out to the letter. I am going to call the new theater the Lyceum, under which name the old one was known, but I want to assure the good people of Ogden that it will be quite a different playhouse."
"Every effort will be made by the new proprietors of the Lyceum to make it Ogden's best second run home. The pick of the features shown at the Orpheum and Paramount will be brought back second-run to the Lyceum and for the quality of product the most reasonable price policy in Utah is assured, any seat any time 10 cents."

A temporary church
A church I once served was born in a cheese warehouse, grew, purchased property, built a building, grew some more, plateaued, added an addition, declined and closed—all in a 50-year timespan. Now its building sits vacant, as much a liability as an asset to its judicatory.
Here's a novel idea: in Australia, they built a temporary church. When a gothic cathedral in Christchurch was destroyed by an earthquake, its members dreamed of rebuilding. But they knew it would take decades to replace their old building. So while they are waiting, they had an architect build a temporary building that will only last 50 years, and can be easily dismantled.
Really? Fifty years is temporary? And look at this building! Who would build a gothic cathedral when they could have this one, which is built out of cardboard?
So, what do you think? Should we start building cardboard churches?
(Thanks again to Joe Duggan at Congregational Seasons for tossing this story my way.)
Many of us might assume that a church with only 32 members automatically qualifies as a "struggling church," or even a dying church. But in the case of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Keansburg, New Jersey, many of us would be wrong.
 '90s, the building was hit by lightning. The volunteer fire department bravely climbed up into the attic and put the fire out, at some risk to their own lives. Repairs were made and the church went on. But a few years later, in 2005, the diocese closed the church, and its members migrated to another nearby parish.


The BOE's website also provides a link to Directive 2020-06, issued by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, summarizing the decision to close polling locations, setting forth directives for the state's BOEs in notifying voters, and processing absentee ballot applications. It also outlines specific provisions for voters with unforeseen hospitalizations.

∙ Select Varoma instead of 120°C 120°C is not a valid setting on the Thermomix® TM31, but Varoma will achieve similar results
∙ TM5 and TM6™ close their lid automatically Ensure you close the lid of your TM31 manually
∙ TM5 and TM6™ set 'reverse' automatically Ensure you set and cancel 'reverse' manually on the Thermomix® TM31 as this is not automatically changed
4. TM6™ exclusive recipes
• Thermomix® TM6™ comes with additional cooking features, some of which are available manually from the modes screen (such as Sous-vide, Slow cook, Fermentation), others which are exclusive to TM6™ recipes (High Temp, Sugar stages)
• These modes are not available on TM5 or TM31. As a result, a TM6™ recipe that relies on these modes cannot be prepared on a TM5 or TM31
• TM6 reaches higher temperatures than TM5 and TM31
• TM6 recipes cannot be synced to a TM5
• If you wish to cook manually from Cookidoo® (without relying on Guided Cooking) please refer to the TM version label on the recipe to ensure it is compatible with your Thermomix®.
5. Take care when cooking from books and magazines
The same rules apply to cooking with recipes from books and magazines. Always ensure you check which Thermomix® model the recipes have been written for.


Joe’s Wine of the Week: Tenuta Fernanda Cappello Pinot Grigio, Grave, Friuli, Italy DOC 2015 – Joe's Underground Cafe
April 25, 2018April 25, 2018 by Joe Pascale
$17.99 at Crush Wine & Spirits in Bryant, Arkansas (AR)
Floral and pear on the nose.  On the palate, crisp green apple, citrus, hint of hazelnut.  Noticeable acidity.
Fernanda Cappello had a successful career as an architect before she returned to the wine business in her father’s footsteps.  She is the third generation of winemakers in her family.  The winery was founded in 1970 and the first release was the 1969 vintage.
The 135 hectare estate (of which 126 ha are under vines) is located in northeast Italy in the province of Sequals of the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia just below the Alps.  The vines are planted on very mineraly soil between the Cellina and Meduna Rivers in their own microclimate where the Val Tramontina wind keeps the grapes healthy.  The rocky soils reflect heat and help ripen the grapes in this cool alpine climate.  Alpine breezes ventilate the vineyards and dry the grapes even in wetter vintages.
Dispersed throughout these rocky soils are the Magradi Stones – some of them are the size of pumpkins.  These stones reflect light onto the vines and absorb heat to give warmth to the vines which help the ripening of the grapes in this cool climate.
The winery produces a variety of wines: Whites: Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.  Reds: Refosco, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.
The cellars of the Fernanda Cappello estate incorporate modern technology, temperature-controlled steel barrels, machines for processing the grapes and treating the wine, sophisticated and advanced instruments to check that every phase of the wine-making process happens in a precise and natural way. There are also wooden and oak barrels which bring out the flavors and the bouquet during the ageing process.

David Zwirner is pleased to present the iconic film Blue (1993) and a selection of late paintings by the British interdisciplinary artist Derek Jarman (1942–1994) at the gallery's West 19th Street location in New York. Jarman's richly layered and symbolically dense work—encompassing painting and writing, stage and costume design, filmmaking and gardening—drew upon philosophy and literature, in addition to his own autobiography, to critically interrogate the world around him.
Blue and the paintings on view evidence Jarman's iconoclastic response to his HIV diagnosis in 1986, his confrontation with his own mortality, and the broader sociopolitical climate of the HIV/AIDS crisis. The monochromatic film Blue repudiates images because, according to Jarman, they 'hinder the imagination and beg a narrative and suffocate with arbitrary charm, the admirable austerity of the void.'1 Instead, the viewer confronts an unmodified screen of Yves Klein's ultramarine 'International Klein Blue' that forces one to internalise the soundtrack of music and sounds produced by Simon Fisher Turner and the disembodied voices of Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, John Quentin, and Jarman himself, who read a haunting combination of the artist's own poetry and autobiographical narratives from his hospital diaries. Made after an AIDS-related infection rendered him temporarily blind and following a condition whereby vivid flashes of blue light interrupted his vision, Blue not only recounts Jarman's corporeal experiences with the virus, but also demands that viewers viscerally internalise and embody the highly personal and melancholic poetry, descriptions, sounds, and music by denying them images upon which to project and escape.
Similarly, the works on view, a selection of Jarman's 'Slogan' paintings (1992–1993), reject pictorial representation. Jarman scrawls phrases such as 'Arse Injected Death Syndrome,' 'Blind August,' and 'AIDS Isle' across chaotic and garish expressionist abstract canvases that convey his personal and physical experience of living with AIDS, while critiquing tabloidsensationalism of the crisis. The paintings also demonstrate Jarman's long-standing interest in language, particularly its representational possibilities as theorised by philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. In fact, the acidic colour palette of the 'Slogan' paintings resonates with the vibrant costumes in Jarman's film Wittgenstein that was released in September 1993. Hovering between abstraction and language, the paintings subvert the means through which the media and the government address and represent people living with AIDS and the virus. These works linger in the experience of a body failing, and a body being failed by larger systemic bias, inaction, and homophobia.
Derek Jarman is
Derek Jarman (1942–1994) was a legendary iconoclastic multidisciplinary artist. Through filmmaking, painting, writing, and gardening, he offers invaluable insight into the nature of the society in which he lived. His work drew from philosophy and literature as well as his own personal history, and his interests included Heraclitus, alchemy and the writing of John Dee, Shakespeare, contemporary music, Benjamin Britten, and gardening and the history of plants. His groundbreaking use of the Super 8 camera, used in both short and feature-length films, illustrates the same daring innovation as his paintings. His poetry and journals display an immense writing talent and his garden at Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, Kent, is revered by horticulturists worldwide. He was an ardent and forthright campaigner for gay rights, and his work is a powerful testimony to the way he dealt with his HIV status, his sexuality, homophobia in the press and their manipulation of the AIDS epidemic, and to his courageous confrontation with his own mortality.
Upcoming exhibitions of the artist's work will be held at C, and Manchester Art Gallery, UK. Recent important solo exhibitions include PROTEST!, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2019); The Last of England, Void, Derry, Ireland (2019); and My garden's boundaries are the horizon, Garden Museum, London (2020). Derek Jarman: When yellow wishes to ingratiate it becomes gold is on view through August 7, 2021, at Amanda Wilkinson Gallery, London.

Don't be in the dark about how important it is to find the right light. .
Taking a test? A study shows that swapping "warm," yellowish-white lighting for "cool," bluish-white indoor lighting (which mimics natural sunlight) might improve your academic performance.
South Korean researchers had fourth-grade students take a math exam under different lighting scenarios: warm, 3500 K (a unit that measures correlated color temperature on the Kelvin scale), or cool, 6500 K. Students saw the best results when working with 6500 K lights, suggesting that this kind of lighting might enhance your cognitive state if you're tackling a difficult assignment.
Warmer, red-toned lights are your best bet here, according to the same study. The researchers found that while "cooler" lighting improved alertness and focus, "warm" lighting helped students feel more relaxed and at ease—making the lighting ideal for low-stress activities or interactions with their peers.
Research suggests that low lighting makes you feel more creative. In 2013, German researchers split 114 college students into groups of two to three, separated them by lighting conditions (dim, office-level, and bright), and asked them solve an assortment of problems that required creative thinking. Sure enough, groups that were exposed to darker conditions solved more problems than participants in other groups—and they reported feeling "free from constraints" more frequently, too.


Incident occurred as Biden begins first trip to region as president.
A member of President Biden's Secret Service detail was sent back home Tuesday after a "physical encounter" with a woman in Jerusalem as he exited dinner with colleagues.
As Biden kicks off his first Middle East visit as president, the unnamed agent allegedly struck a woman after a "collision," according to CBS News.
He was taken into custody by Israeli police but released without charges after questioning. The State Department was made aware of the incident while the agent was detained" said a Secret Service spokesman"
Israeli police have not commented on the incident or released any details.
Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday. He plans to visit both the West Bank and Saudi Arabia over the next four days before returning home on Saturday.

Growth in the global development of cities, and increasing public interest in beekeeping, has led to rises in the numbers of urban apiaries. Towns and cities can provide an excellent diet for managed bees, with a diverse range of nectar and pollen available throughout a long flowering season and are often more ecologically diverse than the surrounding rural environments. Accessible urban honeybee hives are a valuable research resource to gain insights into the diet and ecology of wild pollinators in urban settings. We used DNA metabarcoding of the rbcL and ITS2 gene regions to characterise the pollen community in Apis mellifera honey, inferring the floral diet, from 14 hives across an urban gradient around Greater Manchester, UK. We found that the proportion of urban land around a hivediversity of plants foraged, and that invasive and non-native plants appear to play a critical role in the sustenance of urban bees, alongside native plant species. The proportion of improved grassland, typical of suburban lawns and livestock farms, diversity of plant pollen found in honey samples. These findings are relevant to urban landscape developers motivated to encourage biodiversity and bee persistence, in line with global bio-food security agendas.
Honey samples were sourced from 14 Apis mellifera hives; 12 from Greater Manchester, one from Cheshire and one from Lancashire. Honey samples were diluted in molecular grade water (4x 10g/25ml per sample) centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 30 minutes. DNA was then extracted from the pellet, the rbcL and ITS gene regions were amplified and PCR products sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq using a V2 flowcell. Sequencing data were analysed using the DADA2 functionality in the QIIME2 package and taxa assigned using previously published databases and the NBCI nucleotide database. Species and genus assignments were checked for plausibility in the UK using tthe Biological Records Centre Atlas of the British and Irish Flora and the Plants for a Future database, as well as online searches of UK garden centres.

The best kept secrets are basic truths. Let me explain by highlighting "first facts," a particular dimension upon which conventional wisdom often goes awry. First facts are the first-order answers to questions about discoveries and precedents like who discovered the Americas, what was the first constitution, what is the earliest known code of law, who discovered calculus, and what is the Lion King based off?
You probably alreadyBut, did you know the Magna Carta is neither Europe's first constitution nor a major innovation in protecting civil liberties, Hammurabi's code is not the oldest written code of law, and neither calculus nor the theory of evolution were solely discovered by Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin?
In other words, there's always a firstier first. Naturally, Sivowitch's law of firsts is predated by another. Stephen sounds humorous and a bit absurd. Could this law of firsts or law of eponymy be true?And if it is true, why would that be the case?
On the topic of Columbus and misguided conventional wisdom, many children also learn that Columbus's voyage disproved the Earth is flat. But, that's also not true!hich has come to be known as Given the theme of this essay, you might expect that it was not the first European constitution. And, you would be right. For example, one hundred and fifteen years before the Magna Carta was signed, King Henry I of England signed the Charter of Liberties, which promised to "abolish all the evil customs by which the Kingdom of England has been unjustly oppressed."

And according to Grant, "Suddenly, everyone got it." One producer remarked, "Of course it was Hamlet—the uncle kills the father, and the son has to avenge his father's death. So then we decided it was going to be Hamlet with lions."

Meat consumption has major environmental impacts. Among them are:
Deforestation caused by cattle raising and increased production of soybeans for food.
Water scarcity is increasing due to its often unnecessary use for livestock production and slaughter.
Soil contamination has also become more severe, because pesticides and other substances are implanted in them to be ingested by livestock.
Find out more about these environmental impacts by reading this article.
Losses of meat consumption to the environment
Meat consumption can cause numerous damage to the environment.
In addition to the increase in gas emissions, the increase in meat consumption accelerates the process of reducing forests, which in turn are responsible for carbon retention.
There are studies that indicate that western countries must reduce meat consumption by 90% to control global warming.
Moreover, when consuming meat, it should be in mind that this action will generate cultural, moral, social consequences, in addition to impacts such as the environmental cost, which is not added to the price of meat. This cost also does not include health, infrastructure and sanitation treatments to supply the damage that is caused to agriculture.
In this way, the meat industry expands by taking with it deforestation, contamination and waste of water and energy, in addition to polluting the air and depleting the soils.
It also reads: Why has vegetarianism become popular?
Water scarcity and meat consumption
According to studies conducted by the journal Plos One, water scarcity already affects more than 2.7 billion people each month each year.
In addition to the water consumed every day by the agricultural industry, there is still the problem of contamination being an imminent risk.
Meat consumption and the emission of polluting gases
Meat consumption directly affects the emission of polluting gases.
Meat production is responsible for the emission of polluting gases and greatly increases the effects of global warming. Moreover, if we do not reflect on the limits of production, the preservation of our forests will suffer the consequences, as is already happening with environmental pacts.
According to studies conducted by Greenpeace, meat production emits the same volume of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) as cars, trucks and ships around the world.
Read also: The 10 benefits of vegetarian food
What is the importance of reducing meat consumption for sustainability?
Food is strictly linked to sustainability, and there is data to prove this. According to a study by the National Institute of Statistics, in 2020, each person consumes on average 20.8 kilos of beef annually in Portugal. According to the same research, the consumption of pork and dairy products reaches 41.4 kilos per year.
How can veganism and vegetarianism help?
Being vegetarian or vegan, you contribute to the planet by decreasing meat consumption.
Vegetarianism excludes any type of meat from the diet, be it cow, pork, chicken, or others. But vegetarians consume animal products such as eggs, milk and their derivatives.
Vegans, on the other hand, do not consume any animal products, either in food or even in clothing. Both groups can help to reduce meat consumption.
So how to decrease meat consumption?
We know that reducing meat consumption, rather than ending it at all, is a viable option that fits into the routine of most people. However, we need to know how to replace it in a healthy and correct way, to avoid the lack of nutrients.
Examples of grains with a high protein content, which can replace the consumption of red meat, as well as that of birds are:
When they are consumed with rice, corn or quinoa, for example, they replace animal protein.
Combined with this, vegetables, vegetables and vegetables in general are very important for a balanced meal. Kale and spinach, for example, are iron-rich foods, which is very important when thinking about replacing meat.
4 positive environmental impacts on the environment from the decrease in meat consumption
Now that we have described the negative environmental impacts of consuming meat for the environment, let us now go to the positives of avoiding its consumption.
In just one day without meat, you:
You save 24 m² of land.
You stop emitting 11 kg of CO².
You save 8 kg of grain.
Save 60 liters of water from freshwater reservoirs.
If in one day we get all these benefits, imagine in a month, or even in a year?
