Faith Ringgold reached the height of her fame in the decade before she died last year at the age of 91. She spent decades of her long under-recognised career painting, making quilts and writing children's books. A picture she made in 1971 caused a minor scandal—minor for anyone but the artist and the growing number of women prisoners on Rikers Island, the main holding site in New York City for those awaiting trial who cannot make bail.

The more I read the Beatitudes, the more questions I have. Why is Jesus so cryptic? How are the poor and the persecuted fortunate? Why should mourners be happy, the meek have hope? Who of us is ever pure in heart? Is it really worth thirsting and hungering for justice in a world that rarely delivers? I am left unsure, even disturbed. Honestly, the Beatitudes often baffle me. I feel drawn to them; I want to experience their truth.

Forth Methodology Applied to Programming:1. BEGIN BEGIN BEGIN Identify and reject your illusions and ideas that don't help. 2. Identify and reject the non-problems blocking your problem or keep them but trick them into helping solve the real problem. 3. First consider the options that everyone else would reject first, that is where the biggest algorithmic improvement is likely to be found. 3. Carefully construct a well thought out solution. 4.

OdessaOur conference here is about Black Sea security, where I am the guest of UK Friends of Ukraine. Its subject reflects one of Ukraine’s greatest, yet least publicized successes. Almost a third of the Russian fleet has been destroyed, mostly by sea drones. The rest is trapped in ports much further east. As a result, almost normal amounts of grain and other goods flow to the wider world.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. The introduction and job description run for more than 2,500 words, as well as the Racial Justice Charter, which is attached. I shall try to boil it down. First of all, the post will not be offered to a white person.

The year has gone by much too fast. Maybe it is an age thing, but it seems like just yesterday was last year? To perhaps get some folks off to a good start here are my completely unbiased, unordered, favorites reads from 2023. In “Barking to the Choir” by Gregory Boyle, Father Boyle writes of his 30 years of experience with the gang members in the barrio of Los Angeles. It is interesting, frightening, and enlightening all at once.

“Legacy” used to mean a gift to one’s heirs of something good, often a pot of money. It could be considered both as intended and as received. Lately, it has come to be used sarcastically for the imposition of an evil, for example, the “legacy of slavery” that Harvard University recently confessed, more boastfully than dolefully, proud of its self-accusing virtue.

I was lucky enough to enjoy the recent lunar eclipse at a viewing presented by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at East Tennessee State University. I enjoyed the wonder of such events. They are more than curious to me. They ought to remind us a bit about where we live and what surrounds us. There is a tendency to think of space as a void, and for the most part it is, but of course there are black holes, planets, asteroids and comets in abundance the farther out you go.

The Carter Family has a song we’ve all heard “Keep On the Sunny Side” telling us that by doing so our lives will be better and happier. There are folks in this world for whom such advice is met with derision if not outright hostility. That seems like a sad way to live. I cannot imagine what it must be like to wake up each morning looking for a negative to exploit. kAm!6C92AD x 2> :?764E65 3J D@>6 C646?E C625:?8i “#625:?8 yF52D” 3J t=2:?6 !286=D 2?5 z2C6?

I have been trying to get my head around the future of the world living with a higher degree of artificial intelligence. My brain goes fuzzy with the AI/GPT alphabet scrambling around. I had to look up GPT and write it down longhand to get it to stay put in my head. kAm(C:EE6?
