How to Care for an Irish Setter Puppy Irish Setters are beautiful, friendly dogs that make great family pets. They are also high energy dogs that need a lot of exercise. If you are thinking of getting an Irish Setter puppy, there are a few things you need to know about their care. Irish Setters are a high energy breed. They need a lot of exercise, preferably daily. A good long walk or run is ideal, but they also need some off leash time to run and play. If they don't get enough exercise, they can become destructive. Irish Setters are also known for being escape artists. They are very clever and can figure out how to open doors and gates. If you have an Irish Setter, it's important to make sure your yard is secure. Irish Setters are generally healthy dogs, but there are a few health issues to be aware of. Hip dysplasia is a common problem in the breed. This is a condition where the hip joint doesn't form properly, causing pain and lameness. It's important to have your Irish Setter's hips checked by a vet befor

e breeding. Another health issue to be aware of is von Willebrand's disease. This is a blood clotting disorder that can be serious, even lifethreatening. If your Irish Setter has von Willebrand's disease, they will need to be on medication for the rest of their life. Irish Setters need a high quality diet to stay healthy. They are a high energy breed and need a lot of calories. A good quality dry dog food is a good option, or you can talk to your vet about a raw diet. Irish Setters are also prone to weight gain, so it's important to avoid giving them too many treats. A healthy weight for an Irish Setter is between 30 and 40 pounds.

Gendered Silence in 19th Century Belgian Salon Art Works. Gender and Silence Wiertz, W. Speaker Department of Communication Humanities Activity Talk or presentation types Oral presentation It may appear somewhat paradoxical to commence a chapter on the uses of conversation, by pointing out the uses of being silent yet such is the importance to a woman, of knowing exactly when to cease from conversation, and when to withhold it altogether. ... Sarah Stickney Ellis, 1839. In others words, in polite conversation a woman listened while a man expressed his thoughts. Conduct books like those of Mrs. Stickney Ellis, regularly underlined the importance of silence by women of the middle and upper classes, but was it also visually represented? This question is answered by a close study of the catalogues of the Belgian Salons des BeauxArts. During the 19th century, the Salons alternately in Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent, provided during a long time the only possibility to view contemporary art and were therefore visited

by large crowds. The catalogues provide vital information about the artist and the depicted subject. That is why it can reflect whether silence was represented, how it was visualized, by who and if the theme was seen more often during a certain period, like for example at the end of the century when feminism rose. In short, this presentations will show if silence when depicted in 19th century Belgian Salon paintings, was gendered.

The monetary policy rate is a reference rate; It is what the Central Bank considers to be consistent with the cost of money at any given time, and generally has an impact on the rest of the rates in the financial system. With this and other measures that the

Central Bank has taken, it is sought to create the conditions for companies and individuals to apply for credit and this allows the economy to be encouraged. The Central Bank explained, through a statement, that the gradual lifting, in Costa Rica and its trading partners, of sanitary restriction measures due to the pandemic, has allowed a moderate recovery in economic activity and in the labor market. However, the level of production remains below its potential. Thus, the monthly economic activity index IMAE for October 2020, in its cyclical trend series excluding seasonal and irregular factors, decreased at an interannual rate for each month compared to the same month of the previous year of 6.6 , while the unemployment rate stood at 21.9 in the moving quarter that ended in October.

What does hypocritical religious bullying look like on websites? Filed under abortion,bullying,misogyny,Religion,reproductive rights tildeb 1004 am It looks like your comment is awaiting moderation. Over at the blog Eternity Matters, for example, we read the thoughts of a man who claims that god has given me the passion and the opportunity to share the Gospel with countless atheists and agnostics. Okay. The guy says he wants to share. Sharing is good. I like to share my thoughts, too. So I read his posts. Granted, they are often vitriolic diatribes against anyone who dares question his certainty that god has determined that all abortion but not the supposedly godsanctioned spontaneous kind is a moral obscenity, but this is not a surprise given that he thinks that god also specially selected him with a passion to get involved in the prolife issue, which I consider to be the most important moral issue of our time. Ive been a volunteer at CareNet Pregnancy center as a counselor, teacher of prolife reasoning cl

asses and board member where we try to save lives now and for eternity. This guy honestly thinks he represents gods eternal will in this matter. Oh, my. In the news lately is the tragic suicide of bullied Canadian teen Amanda Todd and we hear many comments from those in positions of authority about what can be done to reduce the bullying that causes so much unnecessary grief. One in particular grabbed our bloggers attention, and of course he has to twist it into revealing a liberal attempt to thwart gods will about the immorality of anyone so misguided as to support a womans legal right to choose what is done with her womb. Heres the first part of his post As my brilliant wife noted, abortion is the ultimate bullying A weak, defenseless, unwanted human being is literally destroyed. The innocent victim is dehumanized and left completely unprotected. Now the Democrats want it to be funded by taxpayers, including prolifers. So they quit being prochoice and are now completely proabortion. They think that there a

rent enough abortions in our society and they want to force prolifers and religious organizations to pay for those abortions. That is the opposite of choice. It is also racist, as those abortions will certainly increase abortions in the black community beyond the current 3to1 ratio relative to whites. You might think that is as extreme as you could get proabortionwise, but that would mean you hadnt read this Ontario Catholic Schools Forbidden From Noticing That Abortion Is Wrong. Yes, they consider it bullying to even mention prolife reasoning in Catholic schools and they are glad to trample religious freedom and free speech. This is what you get when you vote for Liberals. It always bothers me when people assume that public education is the right channel to promote a religious agenda in this case the immorality of medically responsible abortion services. This approach utterly fails to reveal why the need for therapeutic abortion services is a matter of medical concern and turns it into a black or white moral

issue fueled by religious zealotry. It is this zealotry that is misogynistic because it is aimed solely at women to at least impede if not eliminate their legal right to have access to have any say over the contents of their uterus. It fails to make any room at the inn of religious certainty for professional medical services based on best practices when it comes to an occupied uterus. Eternity Matters EM insists that curtailing the teaching in publicly funded schools that abortion is a moral obscenity is an even greater form of bullying than that imposed on Amanda. So I decide to share my thoughts about EMs onesided post and comment Telling children what to think with public education dollars equals religious freedom. Teaching children how to think is bullying. Riiiigght. Why dont you check out what it is like to live in a country that has codified into law these catholic moral precepts and then report back on how well your antichoice position combats misogyny? What gets lost in all the antichoice noise is t

he concern for respecting womens health and providing proper access to health care services directly related to it. When you place this concern somewhere beyond the filter of your moral precepts, you are exercising misogyny. Why is is sic it your job to tell others what is and is not moral? Do you honestly think that women are not capable of considering the moral ramifications of their choices so they need to be told by men like you? The result? My comment is held in moderation while others are allowed to post supportive comments! After many hours, I comment again, The heading in the comment section reads, So, what do you think? I comment and you moderate it out of existence because.? You show that you dont care what others think when you do this; what you really create is simply an echo chamber by allowing comments that support your view while you censor criticisms of it. This practice shows your intellectual integrity in action, and it is lacking. One would think that for someone with such certainty about y

our moral superiority and clarity of gods objective moral authority you are quite willing to impose on others, you would be willing to take on all comers because your position is strong. Obviously, its not and you arent up to the job because you fear that the criticisms of the opinions of those with whom you disagree are simply beyond your ability to adequately address. And doesnt that show better than anything I can say why theology like yours in practice is identical to intolerance and tyranny. That makes you a bully! Well done. Because such people as the blogger at Eternity Matters are bullies, they need to be exposed for the cowards they really are the cowards who hide behind their ability to moderate dissent. Why are the Abrahamic religions blots on the dignity of humankind? Filed under civil rights,Criticism,delusion,Equality,Human Rights,misogyny,Religion,reproductive rights,theology,Women tildeb 729 am Because they they are misogynistic. Paula Kirby from the Washington Post explains why, from which

I have extracted the following but I know youll head on over to read the whole piece for yourself Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Here, in Ephesians 5, attributed to St Paul, we have in a nutshell the churchs attitude to the respective positions of man and woman. The mans role is to be the head, the womans to submit to him. The meaning is crystal clear, unmistakable; and yet, despite the fundamentalists who firmly believe such Iron Age prejudices still apply today, there are many liberal Christians who have the decency to cringe at the primitiveness of such instructions and who therefore bend over backwards to pretend theyre not as bad as they quite patently are. Ah yes, they say, but Paul goes on to say that husbands must love their wives. And not just love them, but love them as they

love themselves. So clearly this is a reciprocal arrangement, equal in value, imposing constraints of equal weight on both man and wife. All is well with the world and we can continue to pretend that Christianity is the friend of women. But no. All is not well with the world, and only the deluded or the disingenuous could claim to see equality where there is only subservience. It is interesting to note the context in which this infamous passage occurs immediately following the commandment to women to submit to their husbands we find the commandment to children to obey their parents, and to slaves to obey their owners. No amount of instruction to the husbands, parents and owners in question not to ruthlessly exploit their positions of power can alter the fact that women are classed with children and slaves when it comes to their social standing, freedom and selfdetermination and, like them, are called on to embrace their inferior status with cheerfulness and enthusiasm. In this same sequence of instructions sl

aveowners are exhorted not to threaten their slaves. Does this make slavery acceptable? Of course not. Only religion could attempt to present such a loathsome idea as though it were not a blot on the dignity of humankind, and the requirement for women always to submit to their menfolk is no less repugnant. So isnt this always the case even without these religious influences? Show me a nonreligious society that feels so threatened by the thought of female sexuality that it will slice off the clitoris of a young girl to ensure she can never experience sexual pleasure. Show me a nonreligious society that feels the need to cloak women from head to toe and force them to experience the outside world through a slit of a few square inches. All three Abrahamic religions share the myth of Adam and Eve, the myth that it was through woman that evil was let loose in the world. They share the heritage of Leviticus, which declared a menstruating woman unclean, to be set aside, untouched, a revulsion that remains even today

among some orthodox Jews, who will refuse to shake a womans hand for fear she may be menstruating. What kind of lunacy is this? It is the lunacy of a Bronze Age mindset fossilized by the reactionary forces of religion. But of course the lunacies derived from religious beliefs neither begins nor ends here; its a fount for lunacy that keeps on giving. Religion is one lie after another the lie of original sin, the lie of eternal life, the lie of hell, the lie of answered prayer, the lie that life can have no meaning without religion, the lie that religion is the source of morality, the lie of creationism, the lie of a spyinthesky who hears your every word and reads your every thought. And to this list we must add the lie that it views men and women as equal. It has got away for so long with the kind of lunatic wordgames that allow deathbytorture to be presented as an act of love, and eternal torment in the flames of hell to be seen as a necessary act of justice, that we should perhaps not be surprised that it ha

s also managed to dupe its followers into seeing the systematic suppression and silencing of women as an act of liberation and equality. Nevertheless, it is a lie, like all the others a cynical and wicked lie. It is time women everywhere woke up to it. That would be a good start. Why should feminism embrace reason and shun religion? Filed under Argument,Bias,Faith,Religion,reproductive rights,rights and freedoms,Skepticim tildeb 1032 am Tags Feminism Because religious ideas harm women and restrict their lives on a daily basis. There is a terrific article with rich resources by Amy Clare over at ButterfliesandWheels from which I have taken a few excerpts and indented below. I urge all readers to enjoy the wellargued and entire piece here titled Why feminism must embrace reason and shun religion. This fact has been commented on before, and it should be well known among feminists; rather than waste space quoting verses, I will direct you to the website The Sceptics Annotated Bible, which contains lists of the

verses relating to women in the Koran, the Bible, and the Book of Mormon. More about Islam can be found at the blog of Kafir Girl, whose article Swimmin in Women is an irreverent and detailed analysis of the behaviour of Islams prophet Mohammed towards women and girls. While there is simply not enough space to fully analyse each religions treatment of women, there is some information about the inconsistency of the Hindu texts in relation to womens rights here, an analysis of misogyny and Buddhism here, and this page shows that even the nonviolent Jains apparently cant handle a little bit of menstrual blood. The only reason that ondemand abortion is not available to women worldwide is the prevalence of religious most notably Catholic beliefs that a fertilised egg is a human being. The rise of unwanted pregnancies and STDs including Aids in many countries can be directly blamed on religiouslyfunded abstinence programmes which are based on beliefs that contraception and sex before marriage are evil. Strong belie

fs about the sanctity of a girls virginity and the wickedness of female sexual behaviour lead to predictable, sometimes appalling and horrific results, such as girls being buried alive, lashed and stoned to death. And even as women are being harmed by such religious beliefs, they are told that the originator of these ideas, God, loves them. It is as though mainstream feminism has a blind spot when it comes to religion, but it is not alone in this. Religion has managed to carve itself a very nice niche in society whereby any questioning of religious faith is seen to be extremely bad form. Religion seems to have a monopoly on hurt feelings, entirely unfairly in my opinion. It seems to me that some feminists are afraid of a critical discussion about religious faith, because of the everlooming label of intolerant, prejudiced, or, when it comes to any religion besides Christianity, racist. Given all of the above, I anticipate in reaction what business is it of yours what people believe? A persons private religious

faith is none of anyones business and you should tolerate it. Youve got no right to tell people what to think! And so on. These are arguments atheists come across often. Indeed this seems to be the tack that many feminists take. It appears quite difficult to argue against, but here goes. First of all, as Sam Harris points out in his book The End Of Faith, belief almost always leads to action, therefore, beliefs are very rarely truly private. Believe that its going to rain, and youll take an umbrella out with you. Believe that a clump of cells is a sacred human life, and you will join a prolife group and lobby the government to ban abortion; you may even be successful, in which case you will contribute to the suffering and even deaths of large numbers of women. As Harris says, Some beliefs are intrinsically dangerous. Indeed feminists do not tolerate every belief. We reject many commonlyheld beliefs, most notably the belief that males are fundamentally different from, and superior to, females. Also, peoples r

eligious beliefs arent necessarily freely chosen. The vast majority of religious people are so because they have been brought up to be religious; it has been impressed upon them from an early age that there is a divine creator, and that he should be worshipped in the following ways, and so on. In this way, telling people what to believe is really the preserve of religion. All atheists do, if anything, is ask people to question what they believe. If children were allowed to grow up without religious influence and then asked to evaluate the evidence and decide for themselves as adults if there is a god, then it would be a different matter entirely. But this doesnt happen. Even in the light of all of the above, there are some who will still insist that merely believing in a loving god having ignored or reinterpreted all the misogynist trappings of their faith is harmless. I dont agree. This belief is still based on blind faith, not on evidence, and such a mindset, while promoted by religions as a virtue, is in

fact damaging to society. What is the difference between a person who simply feels that there is a god, and a person who simply feels that males are superior to females? Answer nothing. Both ideas are uncontaminated by evidence. But the difference, for some feminists, seems to be that the latter view is to be fought against and the former to be tolerated and even praised. Feminists can all perhaps agree on one thing that the status quo in the majority if not all of the worlds societies is harmful in many ways towards women and girls. A large part of the harm is done by religion, both directly by influencing laws, attitudes and behaviour, and indirectly by promoting the idea that faith is a virtue and thus discouraging the questioning attitude that is so vital for debunking sexism and promoting equality. It is time for feminism to be brave and have a discussion about the real effects of religious faith on womens place in societies worldwide, not placing the blame on a few extremists but critically examining t

he whole institution. Perhaps one day all feminists will end up at the same conclusion I came to many years ago it is not just that the emperor has no clothes, it is that there is no emperor at all. What is Survivor Bias? Filed under abortion,Dobson,Focus on the Family,Medicine,Religion,reproductive rights,rights and freedoms,Secularism,Survivor Bias tildeb 437 pm Focus on the Family a right wing christian fundamentalist and biblical literalist organization has purchased an advertising slot during the Super Bowl featuring Tim Tebow a star college quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, and his mother, Pam. According to the groups press release, the Tebows will share a personal story about Tims birth in 1987, when his parents were missionaries in the Philippines. According to Pams account in the Gainesville Sun, she contracted amoebic dysentery and went in a coma shortly before the pregnancy. To facilitate her recovery, she was given heavyduty drugs. Afterward, doctors told her the fetus was damaged. They di

agnosed her with placental abruption, a premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall. They predicted a stillbirth and recommended abortion. Yet here is Tim. The message from Focus on the Family is intended to support the antichoice movement in the US what antiabortionists like to inappropriately term prolife. But its not prolife at all, and this ad reveals exactly this bias against maternal life in favour of foetal life at all cost, which is much closer to the truth than these antiabortionists will honestly admit. Lets look at the mortality rates for women who have an abruption and see if we can better understand the recommendation to abort made by Pams doctors. In normal pregnancies, the perinatal mortality ratedeath of the fetus after 20 weeks gestation, or death of the baby in its four weeks after birthis less than 1 percent from a 2001 US study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. In abrupted pregnancies, the rate is roughly 12 percent. If the total number of abrupted pregnanc

ies in the United States in those two years studies 199596 was 46,731, then the number of fetuses and babies killed by placental abruption was 5,570. And thats just the U.S. number. In less developed countries, studies have found higher rates of perinatal death. In Thailand, a 2006 review of 103 abrupted pregnancies showed a rate of 16 percent. In Sudan, an analysis of more than 1,000 cases from 19972003 yielded a rate of 20 percent. In Tunisia, a 2005 review of 45 cases indicated a rate of 38 percent. So because Pam was an older expectant mom 37 years old and in a higher risk category and in the Philippeans where presumably the death rate would be higher than the US for this condition, these doctors recommended abortion not on any kind of proabortion medical opinion as the antichoice supporters like Focus on the Familys founder Jimmy Dobson and his crusading ilk like to paint anyone involved in medical abortions, but on the probabilities of mortality for the mother, which is not the only problem connected to

allowing a dangerous pregnancy to come to term. Losing the mother in a dangerous pregnancy a perfectly natural and acceptable occurrence according to antichoice supporters has consequences beyond losing the foetus. Being dead is just the first problem with dying in pregnancy. Another problem is that the fetus you were trying to save dies with you. A third problem is that your existing kids lose their mother. A fourth problem is that if you had aborted the pregnancy, you might have gotten pregnant again and brought a new baby into the world, but now you cant. And now the Tebows have exposed a fifth problem You cant make a TV ad. Hence, this ad is a good example of survivor bias. Pam and Tim Tebow are talking because they can talk. Theyre not dead. If Pam Tebows abruption had taken a different turn, her son would be just another perinatal mortality statistic, and she might be just another maternal mortality statistic. And you would know nothing of her story, just as you know nothing of the women who have die

d carrying pregnancies like hers. Focus on the Family certainly wouldnt pay for a spot to bring you that story, now would they? But the better doctors know and thats why they are in an educated position to make medical recommendations. Before we trust those who wish to legalize antichoice in the matter of abortion on theological grounds, we should remember that abortion is a medical procedure which properly belongs between a woman and her doctor and not in a courtroom nor a procedure that sends people to live behind bars. Lets leave the priests and religious tyrants out of any medical decisionmaking process altogether and, like Pam Tebow, allow these women to make whatever difficult and courageous choices they feel they must make.

When People Cant Hear You Vibrational Differences HomeAll Posts...When People Cant Hear You Vibrational... Energy Work, human behavior May 23, 2016 Have you ever tried to explain something to someone, but they just couldnt hear you? Perhaps a friend couldnt hear your side of the story, or your parents couldnt understand your motivation for wanting to do something. Perhaps you argued with your significant other over what was said or what happened. This is a common phenomenon, and I know it can be frustrating! The thing to understand is that sometimes people WONT hear you. And its not because they are jerks or because they are ignorant or because they lack visionits because you are both on different vibrational frequencies. In every moment of every day, we are tuned into a specific vibrational energy. Sometimes its high, sometimes its low, and some days it fluctuates a great deal. However, it is our vibrational energy that determines who hears us, AND who we can hear. When we are high and happy, messages of hat

e and complaint simply dont resonate with us. For example, if I am feeling good and someone comes to tell me how bad their life is, all I really hear is blah, blah, blah, Im complaining. However, if Im in a foul mood suddenly I fully understand the rage and the anger! Its also a lot more tempting to get involved in the complaining when I am resonating at a low level. Conversely, if you are feeling inspired and happy and want to share your positive thoughts with the world, some people just arent going to hear it. Instead of feeling inspired and uplifted, all they will hear is blah, blah, blah my head is in the clouds and everything Im saying is ridiculous. Even further, its possible that they become so removed from you vibrationally that the phone drops the call, or your conversation gets interrupted. When you are too vibrationally removed from the person you are communicating with, you can guarantee he or she will have a difficult time honestly hearing anything you have to say. This has been valuable informat

ion to me when it comes to dealing with people. When you feel like you have to keep explaining yourself over, and over again, its helpful to remember that the other person isnt going to be able to hear you from where they stand. Clearly, they are in a different energetic state. Related Article Raise Your Vibration With the AbrahamHicks Emotional Guidance Scale Knowing this has saved me from countless arguments and debates. If I can tell my point just isnt being heard, I chalk it up to vibrational differences. I dont even waste my time trying anymore. I know my voice wont be heard, and continuing to repeat myself will only cause me to get frustrated and lower my own vibrational frequency. In other words, when you are flying high, remember not to stoop to their level! This, by the way, is why so many people get frustrated around toxic people. In order to truly communicate with people who are on a much lower level, you yourself have to let your vibration take a nose dive! Arguing with an angry person is a oneway

ticket to rage town, and commiserating with someone who is sad will send you all the way down to depression junction. Trust me, Ive been to both, and neither one is worth the trip. Just remember, your perceptions and thoughts are 100 valid, and they dont require anyone elses confirmation or acceptance. Your perception will always be an accurate representation of your vibrational energy, regardless of how anyone else is perceiving it from their level. To keep your vibration high, you just cant worry about those who cant see the world from up on your perch. Stay elevated, and let it go. Change the conversation, and if you cant, excuse yourself and try again later when youre both resonating at a decent level. Remember, its not that they are incapable of hearing you ever, its just that they cant hear you right this minute. Vibrational frequencies change frequently, after all. Keep your rosecolored glasses on, and dont be afraid to abandon situations that require you to take them off! Sign up for my free Law of A

Ill just remind myself of this instead of feeling bad or taking it personally. Thanks. Hi Andrea, I just loved this article, you just answered all my thoughts that I wanted to get an insight on. We encounter va

rieties of people who are like these hurdles on the running track that we got to hop on which dont get well with this the moment Ive been on the journey of being happy and cheerful Ive seen a loads of these kinds and I often used to just ignore them and try to tell myself let me paint the world with my wonderful colours. I now understand why some dont get to hear what we want them to hear. Its motivating me to be more patient towards them and drop the conversation to be picked up later when we match the vibration!! I shall have my rosecoloured glasses on I soo love them!! Thanks for your comment Colleenand its good to know you are hearing me! Its always so nice to meet people you align with XO Hi R! Thanks for your positive comment. Im so glad it resonated well with you XO, Andrea Thanks Larry much appreciated! XO, Andrea Sammyluvs100 Posted August 6, 2016 1234 am 0Likes I have to say, this makes totally and complete sense to me. i feel like I think these exact thoughts that you have put into words and mad

e into this article blog. Its truly amazing to know that the things I think and feel, considering I mostly feel much alone in this world, and Ive always felt Im always being misunderstood, rather than not heard at all. But I know for one, Ive been there. Someone is going on and on about a situation that I could totally care less about and has no meaning to me. Funny thing is how familiar I feel I am already with LOA and yet, Ive had a few different friends randomly tell me about it and that I need to get LOA in my life. I thought it must of been a sign considering more than one friend had mentioned it to me. I have been living my life in such a negative way for such a long time now, I defiantly understand now why I needed this in my life. This is inspiring and very uplifting. It makes me feel whole again in a way, crazy it may sound but like I said its like Ive known this all along. I just needed to randomly stumble upon your amazing site! Thank you Andrea for you hard work and the blessings you are giving to

numerous people every day. Truly, you are a great writer, I not only enjoy learning from you, I enjoy you all together. Such a beautiful soul you have. Thank you for changing my perceptive tonight. I do appreciate what you do, and honestly wish someday I am somehow, someway, helping people every day in a way that changes their lives, just like you. Aww, thanks Sammy! This comment makes me very happy. I think its lovely that you are being called to the LOA, it speaks volumes about where you are, where you want to go, and what you believe is possible for you. Your friends coming to you to encourage you to the LOA is really just you encouraging yourself at the end of the day. Our realities reflect our focus and our belief structures after all! I wish you the very best on your journey into the positive! May the light guide you everywhere you wish to be. XO, Andrea Posted November 21, 2022 921 pm 0Likes Hi Andrea! Great article! Do you have any advise for my teenage daughter shes an empath. She is really discour

aged because she feels that everyone, all the time, talks over her me includedbut Im aware of it and try my best not to do it. She has started to shut down because of this and its really affecting her confidence. I get what you are saying, and I to the best of my ability understand the whole different vibrations concept. I just dont know how to explain it in a way it will resonate with. You would think because we share the same gift, Id be able to help her, but I feel stuck. I struggled with what shes is my whole life. With my family, in school and every job. It felt like I was invisible and nobody took me seriously. Never being heard was painful! Ive worked through itand it took a long time to understand. But I dont want that for her. So, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is worse six hours of claustrophobia in an Airbus 319 or five hours of exposure to Heathrow Airport? As I recently traveled from Tehran to London and Amsterdam, I might have been able to solve one of the greatest scientific problems of our age, but unfortunately, I was too distracted by the final chapters of William A. Simmons Peoples of the New Testament World. An Illustrated Guide 2008. It is a book that I can sincerely recommend. In twenty chapters, the author introduces the reader to, for example, Pharisees, Sadducees, tax collectors, Herodians, centurions, and scribes. Sometimes, the book becomes a social history of ancient society among the peoples of the New Testament world are trade guilds, slaves and freedmen, clients and patrons too the chapters devoted to these classes are particularly strong. Like biblioblogger Jim West, who recommended this book, I was especially impressed by Simmons chapter on the sinners they were not, as I always thought, people who were unable to live up to Pharisaic st

andards, but moral profligates who had, by their lifestyle, effectively rejected their religious lifestyle p.108. It may be helpful here to refer to the vulgar professions listed by Cicero De officiis 1.150 he sums up all kinds of people who have forfeited claims to respect people like tax collectors, prostitutes, and gladiator. In Rome, these people were kept at some distance in the theater, amphitheater, and circus they were to sit on the highest tiers, far away from the spectacle and the senators on the first ranks. In ancient Judaea, the sinners were equally excluded, and Jesus sharing a meal with them in the name of God must have shocked Jewish sensitivities as much as the emperor Commodus shocked Roman sensitivities when he presented himself as a gladiator. Time and again, Simmons stresses the importance of the Babylonian capture of Jerusalem, the Exile, and the return in the Persian period. He presents this traumatic experience as the background of the emergence of groups like the Pharisees and Sadduc

ees. Personally, I would have started the book with the Maccabaean revolt, but Simmons has convincing arguments, although he is aware that the names of those groups do not occur in our sources at this early stage and uses careful expressions like protoPharisees. Unfortunately, the book suffers from poor editing. On page 182183, a part of the text appears to be missing; on pages 3637, a substantial part is printed twice; the little state Chalcis is consistently called Chalsis, adrogation becomes androgation; Cyrus repeatedly captures the city of Babylon in 538 instead of 539; of the seventeen buildings mentioned on the map of ancient Rome on page 226, fifteen were built after the youngest part of the New Testament was written. Worse is the unnecessary chapter on Roman emperors, in which I counted dozens of factual errors, some of them especially painful in a book on peoples from the New Testament e.g., the Colosseum was not financed from assets seized by the emperor Titus, but from the silver and gold captured

in Jerusalem. I hope that this chapter will be completely rewritten when this book is reprinted. A reprint, yes. In spite of the disastrous treatment of the Roman emperors, Peoples of the New Testament World deserves to be reprinted, and it may, with a bit more care, become a handbook used on many schools.

New Democratic Party of British Columbia fonds, 1 results 1 New Democratic Party of British Columbia fonds Series With digital objects Toplevel description New Democratic Party of British Columbia fonds Records of the table officers, provincial executive, and provincial council Part of New Democratic Party of British Columbia fonds This series consists predominantly of the meeting minutes, agenda, notes, and supporting documents circulated for review or discussion of the NDP's Table Officers, Provincial Executive, and Provincial Council. Outside of the Provincial NDP Convention, these three bodies comprise the most important governing bodies of the Party. The Table Officers include the Party President, two Vice presidents, the Party Leader, the Provincial Secretary, and the Treasurer. Table Officers would meet regularly, sometimes more than once a week via teleconference, to manage the strategic direction and positioning of the Party, discussing relevant breaking news, campaign strategy, public messaging, bud

getary considerations, and party operations. Each member was charged with specific executive tasks, and would prepare reports on their activities for the Provincial Executive and Provincial Council. The Provincial Executive consists of all the Table officers, and additional positions. In the early days of the CCFNDP, this included the outgoing President and 6 other members elected by the Provincial Council; by 1992 the Provincial Executive consisted of "the Leader, President, six VicePresidents, Treasurer, Secretary, Past President, four Executive Members at Large, two Federal Council representatives elected at Federal Convention, two representatives of each regional area in B.C., two YND representatives and the YND representative to Federal Council. The Provincial Secretary is not an elected position of the Party." "Notes for Delegate Orientation Sessions" in the 1992 convention kit; file 43009. The Provincial Executive carries out the "administrative function and conducts the affairs of the Party between Co

uncil meetings," and would hear reports from Table Officers, review budget documents prepared by the Treasurer, and plan the party's upcoming events and activities. The Executive met less frequently than the Table Officers The Provincial Council acts as the Party's broadest governing body between conventions, able to deliberate and vote on motions sent from Convention for review and further discussion, andor emergency motions that cannot wait until the next Convention. Council was comprised of all Executive members, as well as an elected delegate from each constituency association, and representatives from the YND and "affiliated organizations" file 43009. Council would meet less frequently, usually 4 times a year, to make policy decisions, set Party budgets, allocate revenue sharing strategies, share constituency reports, and assess the Party's direction, among other activities. These files contain minutes, agenda, policy documents, media clippings, financial statements, strategy documents, memoranda, corres

pondence, copies of court documents, public communications, resolutions, handwritten notes and drafts, and other related materials.

Facebook blurring of public and private. Ekaterina Netchitailova Facebook is a new media environment where the collapse of contexts and the presence of a potentially wide audience asks for a careful examination of ones performance and behaviour on Facebook. On Facebook people can have different audiences which, otherwise, are separated in real life like colleagues, friends and family and it can be tricky, since when users create their profiles or post something on Facebook they need to be aware that their audience is quite diversified. Danah Boyd calls Facebook a networked public, which according to her is 1 the space constructed through networked technologies and 2 the imagined community that emerges as a result of the interaction of people, technology, and practice. Networked publics, according to Boyd, support many of the same practices as unmediated publics, but their structural differences often inflect practices in unique ways. Boyd D., 2010, p. 1 Boyd argues that in networked contexts information which

was not supposed to be public can become public due to the properties of the network. This stems from the ways in which networked media, like broadcast media, blurs public and private in complicated ways. For those in the spotlight, broadcast media often appeared to destroy privacy. This is most visible through the way tabloid media complicated the private lives of celebrities, feeding on peoples desire to get backstage accessAs networked publics brought the dynamics of broadcast media to everyday people, similar dynamics emerged Boyd D., 2010, p. 39 Boyd distinguishes four properties persistence, searchability, replicability, and scalability, and three dynamics, invisible audiences, collapsed contexts and the blurring of public and private , which characterise the networked publics. Persistence means that online expressions are automatically recorded and archived. Replicability means that the content made out of bits can be duplicated. Scalability means that the potential visibility of content in networke

d publics is big and searchability means that the content in networked publics can be accessed through search. These characteristics together with three dynamics mean that what is posted on Facebook can be accessed by a large public and stay around for future visibility. This can cause serious issues for privacy, as well as for ones own behaviour on Facebook, as people often forget about a potentially wide audience on Facebook while posting something on it. Thus, Facebook pauses new questions about privacy and about ones behaviour in public. Facebook is a semipublic space, and even if one limits the amount of friends or who has an access to a profile, the content of ones profile can still potentially be open to a larger public. We behave differently in public and in private, while at work or at home, among friends or colleagues. Facebook potentially mixes the two environments and creates a new social context, a new semipublic space, where new rules of behaviour and performance emerge. Erving Goffman in The Pr

esentation of Self in Everyday Life talks about human behaviour as a performance, defined as all the activity of an individual which occurs during a period marked by his continuous presence before a particular set of observers and which has some influence on the observers. Goffman E., 1959, p. 32 According to Goffman our behaviour is determined by a social context. We behave differently in different social situations. Meyrowitz argues that electronic media, especially television, have led to the overlapping of many social contexts which previously were distinct. Thus, Meyrowitz argues that before electronic media there were sharp distinctions between onstage and backstage behaviours. But by bringing many different types of people to the same place, electronic media have fostered a blurring of many formerly distinct social roles. Electronic media affect us, then not primary through their content, but by changing the situational geography of social life. Meyrowitz J., 1986, p. 6 The merging of situations leads

to a new behaviour, which Meyrowitz calls middle region. The middle region behaviour arises when audience members get a sidestage view. They see parts of the traditional backstage area together with parts of the traditional onstage behaviour, and see the performer move from backstage to onstage. An example of middle region behaviour is when children stay long enough with the parents. Parents do not usually discuss such topics as death, sex or money in front of the children, but if the children stay present at an adult party, parents might start discuss adult topics in front of them, while avoiding the explicitness characteristic of an adult party. The longer children stay with the parents, more likely they are to see the childish side of adults. Middle region behaviour is the behaviour that results from the merger of previously distinct situations, and electronic media, according to Meyrowitz is the primary cause for the creation of a middle region. Television, for instance, has led to the fact that more and

more people would have a glimpse of a private life of celebrities and politicians, which would adapt their behaviour because their private life was more exposed to the general public. Meyrowitz wrote his book before the advance of the Internet, but his definition of a middle region can easily be applied to Facebook. As mentioned previously, Facebook is a semipublic space, where distinct social contexts merge together. Facebook behaviour can be called middle region behaviour where we have to handle the fact that colleagues and friends alike can see what we post. Even if one chooses only to include very close friends into ones social network, the semipublic profile of Facebook means that one has to think carefully about the implications of Facebook performance. Based on the interviews with 19 participants and observations on Facebook this paper tries to see how people negotiate the collapsing of contexts on Facebook.

Teach Your Kids About Download Safety As technology becomes more interwoven within our society, younger and younger children have access to apps and the internet. While many apps and websites are perfectly acceptable for kids, there are those who would look to take advantage of their vulnerability. There are plenty of cases of apps in the Google Play or Apple App Store where games targeted toward children will be infected with malware. In order to protect your family, you should take the time to teach your kids about download safety. The first step in staying safe when using technology is knowledge. The only way to know what is safe to download is to become aware of things that are potentially dangerous. Free applications, website popups, social media advertisements and email attachments are all prime real estate for potential threats. Teach your children never to download or click on a popup or attachment without asking for your permission first. Keep Watch One of the easiest ways to keep children from stray

ing outside of their boundaries is to supervise them when using technology. It is advised that you keep computers in a public area. This will allow a parent or supervisor to be close by should they have any questions. Children are curious and trusting. It is important to set up parental controls to prevent them from visiting unapproved websites. Installing a firewall, security software and antimalware software will boost your internet security and alert of any incoming threats. Install a popup blocker to reduce potential risks. As a parent, you can set up a different account for each child and one for yourself. This will allow you to fine tune restrictions for each person, depending on their age and the amount of access you wish to give them. You should periodically speak with your children about their internet activity. Sit down and go through their browser history and talk about the places theyve been visiting. Also, take this time to inform your family of new potential threats or schemes youve heard about.

Being open and honest about internet use will help keep everyone safe. The internet isnt going anywhere and the habits you teach your children now will carry with them throughout their lives. Teach your kids about download safety and you will reduce the chances of becoming a victim now and in the future.

Starting With Me February 8, 2022 February 6, 2022 Tim I was told from a young age that having both Irish and Dutch roots, I would be doubly stubborn. Ill let those around me decide if that is true or not. For my part, I do know that I havent always agreed with the status quo and have tried things just a bit differently. I wasnt a trail blazer, but did things my own quiet way and I lived a lifestyle that differed greatly from my familys. I was different not just to be different because the pressure to conform was great. However, I knew that I wouldnt be happy living the way that was expected of me. Photo by Tomas Anunziata on Pexels.com In both career and lifestyle I chose my own path. It wasnt without its challenges and I am sure that part of the pressure that I felt led me down a dark road that, fortunately also led to the doors of a recovery program a little over ten years ago. And also fortunately, I was not told how be or act, but was given suggestions that I was free to follow in order to begin living

life on a more balance keel. These suggestions, the twelve steps of recovery, were up to me to follow and implement in my life at my own pace. I was still quite stubborn and this way of applying the program suited me well. And while I am hardly the poster boy for recovery, I have learned to live life on life terms, one day at a time. I think that recovery has worked for me because it isnt forced nothing used to arouse me more than telling me what I had to do. This is the philosophy of attraction, rather than promotion. I was given suggestions, the members shared their own experience, strength and hope, and I could take it or leave it. There is a lot of wisdom in this philosophy, with a far greater reach just that of sobriety. Gandhi told us Be the change you wish to see in the world. You cant force people to change, but you can give them the option of living life another way. Telling people what to do rarely works. Showing them how to do something has a much better chance at success. Letting others see what y

ou are doing and how you are living allows them to make a choice. If, indeed, the changes that one makes in their life are attractive, others will follow suit and make similar changes in their own lives. Photo by Lara Jameson on Pexels.com I know there are a lot of problems facing the world economics, climate change, and health challenges have such far reaching effects that as a rather stubborn individual, I have little chance of making any impact upon. In truth, few people ever do. However, I can live the changes I would like to see in the world. I can put out my recycling. I can live a healthier lifestyle. I can respond with kindness and compassion to situations. I can share. It may not seem like much to pick up one bottle off the street when theres litter everywhere, but I am living my beliefs. And I am making my little part of the world just slightly better. Perhaps your neighbour will see what you have done and decide to help. Even if that neighbour doesnt change, I have still made my world, and therefor

e, the world a whole, just an iota better than is was yesterday. I cant control what others do. I have learned that my circle of control has a radius that only stretches a few centimeters beyond the tip of my nose. I cant tell people what to do or how to do it many are just a stubborn as I am and just as intransigent to change. But they may be attracted to make a change when they see positive results in others. Demonstrating changes and offering suggestions wont instantly move the world but it does make a small difference. And if the only difference is a little less stubbornness and a bit more peace of mind, then thats fine with me.

Why a Sask. geothermal project may be 'globally transformative' A geothermal power project in southeast Saskatchewan is set to begin construction in late 2023. DEEP Earth Energy Production Corp. announced that the strategy for its geothermal power project in southeast Saskatchewan has been finalized. Field construction on the 25 megawatt power plant is expected to begin in Q3 of 2023 while construction of the surface facilities and drilling are set to start in Q4, the company said in a news release. DEEP, an energy firm based in Saskatoon, has been testing the feasibility of geothermal energy in the southeast for several years, drilling several test wells in the area from 2018 to 2021. The companys first facility includes a five megawatt power purchase agreement with SaskPower. The facility is set to be built in two phases with five megawatts being available in the first phase and another 20 megawatts being added in the second. The company has stated its long term goal is to eventually produce 200 megawatts o

f power using several geothermal plants in southeast Saskatchewan. Power production is estimated to be underway by the summer of 2024, the release explained. Twenty five megawatts has the ability to power around 25,000 households. The project is anticipated to be the first of its kind in the province and the country. "Geothermal power generation has the capacity to provide renewable, reliable baseload energy 247, and the DEEP project in Saskatchewan is anticipated to be the first Canadian, 100 per cent naturally sourced geothermal power facility," the company said in its release. It also said its use of oil and gas drilling techniques to create a renewable energy supply "may be globally transformative."

Do I Need Bone Grafting Before Dental Implants? If you're considering a dental implant, here's what you should know about dental bone grafting and when it's necessary before an implant can be placed. Unfortunately, not all of us are happy with what we have been genetically predisposed to express in terms of our smile. If youre tossing around the idea of possibly getting dental implants to finally have the set of teeth youve always wanted, its a good idea first to know if youre the appropriate candidate for such a procedure. If then, you know you are, the next step is to take the steps towards achieving that goal. When it comes to dental implants, some may wonder if bone grafting is necessary for dental implants, and in this article, we will discuss the answer to just that. Why Bone Grafting is Appropriate in Some Cases While it is not one hundred percent necessary in all cases, there are some circumstances that call for bone grafting before dental implants. The appropriate candidate for bone grafting before d

ental implants includes two sets of instances. Firstly, you may have a weakened jawline or structure that needs extra assistance, or you may have never had or gone many years without restorative dental work done. In both of these cases, your existing jaw may not be resilient enough to withstand the stress of dental implants. After discussing the matter with your dentist, you both will then decide on the source of bone used for the procedure, and then you will undergo a simple surgery that involves strengthening your jaw area by placing healthy bone into the gum. If youre still contemplating whether getting dental implants is right for you and you want to make sure you have taken all of the necessary steps in order to do, give us a call! At Renken Dentistry, we take the feeling and needs of our patients very seriously, and we want you to see that here we are truly a family.

Crucifix Dehumanization CD Kustomized "Dehumanization is the only fulllength album from the band Crucifix. Recorded in 1983, it is considered a classic American hardcore album and a landmark of anarchopunk. Dehumanization delivers a raging critique of war, violence, displacement, and the decimation of human rights and human dignity themes at once global in scope and also completely endemic to Reaganera America. The intensity of this message is matched only by the intensity of the sound a heavy minimalist construction built on brutal guitar riffs, lowend distortion, hardcore fury and teenage speed. It is an album of pure raw power, a hot blast of personal and political outrage and musical adrenaline. Fusing California hardcore with metal and second wave British anarchopunk, Crucifix carved out their own highly distinctive wall of sound on this release. Ignoring the rules of punk purism in favor of a wellproduced huge guitar sound, the album preceded much of the hardcore metal crossover of the mid80s and play

ed an influential but often unacknowledged role in the punk and metal subgenres that followed. 'Annihilation,' the album's opening track, has become iconic. Quoted often, it's been sampled by Orbital and covered by A Perfect Circle and Sepultura. The original vinyl version of Dehumanization was released on the Crass Records offshoot label Corpus Christi in the UK, and has been out of print since the 1980s. This new Kustomized rerelease has been carefully remastered from an original vinyl source and adheres closely to the audio quality of the original.

Adriana Lisboa In the second episode of his 2021 documentary series Exterminate All the Brutes, in which he revisits the story of European dominion over the rest of the world and questions the dominant narrative around it, Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck makes the following statement I learned to favour the collective over the individual, to look for the we before indulging in the I, and to always place oneself within the world not above. I start from Pecks words to think about a broad definition of a civilized society, keeping in mind that the word civilized has its etymological origin in the Latin civilis, relating to public life. In times of anthropocene crisis and climate disaster, our very survival as a species lies in learning the practice of coexistence and inclusion, as well as the mycelial ramification of our lives, as they invariably touch one another. Human exceptionalism has put us at war with the socalled natural world, with the catastrophic consequences we witness more and more every year, in incr

easingly idiosyncratic seasons, with the animals dying around us, as W. S. Merwin wrote in his poem Thanks. I think of a civilized society as one in which the delirium of supremacy is abolished not just of certain groups of human beings over others, on the basis of race, gender, nationality, belief etc, but of humankind over nonhuman species. Different forms of life are no longer subjected to human arrogance and domineering rage. In a rhizomatic system, we overthrow the figure of the master, who has conceived nature as a wife or subordinate other, in the words of ecofeminist Val Plumwood. A new way of understanding the phenomenon of alterity. The we before the indulgence of the I. Adriana Lisboa Writer

What If The Supreme Court Shot Down Obamacare? QA Friday 108 18 Nov, 2011 by John Hawkins Question If the Supreme Court overturns the constitutionality of the individual health insurance mandate next spring, how will that effect the 2012 elections? President Friedman Answer It would be wonderful news for Obama because not only is the bill very unpopular, its 2014 full implementation date is going to be a major factor in driving Republicans to the polls. If the SCOTUS took it off the table, he wouldnt have to defend the bill anymore and Republicans would have less motivation to vote. PS If the individual health insurance mandate were found to be unconstitutional, the bill becomes completely unworkable, but Obama, being Obama, might try to find a way to implement the rest of it anyway. If he did that, I think it could conceivably be even worse for him electorally than it is now.

What Happened to Marine Deserter Wassef Ali Hassoun? 06 Jun, 2014 by Michelle Malkin Ten years ago this month, U.S. Marine Wassef Ali Hassoun disappeared from Camp Fallujah in Iraq. After a fivemonth military investigation, he was charged with desertion and theft, brought back to Virginias Quantico Marine base and then transferred to North Carolinas Camp Lejeune for trial. Yet, a full decade later, Hassoun is as free as a bird. The accused deserters whereabouts are unknown. No trial ever began. No punishment ensued. And our leaders in Washington dont seem to be doing a thing about this. Hassoun was born in Lebanon and immigrated with his family to Utah in 1999. A few years later, he joined the Marines as an Arabic translator. On June 20, 2004, Hassoun bailed on guard duty at his base in Fallujah. He took his militaryissued gun and his Muslim prayer rug. Military records obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune showed that he was torn between military loyalty and his Muslim beliefs. According to the internal probe, h

e undermined intelligencegathering operations by refusing to translate questions about Islam. He balked at raising his voice to suspected jihadi imams and sheiks. He openly threatened to walk out the front gate and leave. The Muslim Marine told his colleagues he supported Hezbollah terrorist attacks on Israel. Members of his unit told investigators he was antiAmerican and listened to jihad sermons on propaganda CDs. Hassoun had received spiritual counseling from Navy Lt. Cmdr. Abuhena Saifulislam, a Muslim military chaplain tied to a radical Wahhabist outfit under federal investigation, according to Hoover Institution fellow and journalist Paul Sperry. A bizarre video by Hassouns Islamist kidnappers showed him blindfolded with a sword above his head. But his fellow Marines suspected it was all staged and the abduction a collaborative fake. What did the purported hostagetakers want in return for the shady, disgruntled American serviceman? The release of jihadists in U.S.led occupation prisons. Translation Gitm

o detainees. Americans would never negotiate such a reckless trade, right? Oh, wait. In an even weirder twist, Hassoun somehow resurfaced at the U.S. embassy in Lebanon a few weeks after he walked away from his base. His family was rumored to have enlisted the aid of an Islamist group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Hassoun denied desertion charges, came back to the U.S. for trial and then deserted a second time after failing to return to Camp Lejeune after visiting family in Utah. In 2011, Hassouns family sought a 1 million book and movie deal in Hollywood. One of his brothers said the fugitive Marine was with family in Lebanon. Ten summers after he abandoned his post, doubledeserting Hassoun is still on the run and has yet to be held accountable. Its worth reminding Americans about Hassouns story in light of President Obamas exploding Bowe Bergdahl scandal. By all appearances, this administration has no intention of taking action on longstanding allegations that Bergdahl, like Hassoun before him, de

liberately abandoned his post in 2009. Defiant Obama said he makes no apologies for the treacherous deal, even as reports of Bergdahls renunciation of U.S. citizenship and conversion to Islam have surfaced in the past 48 hours. Soldiers on the ground have described how Bergdahls disappearance catalyzed deadly coordinated attacks by the Taliban on numerous U.S. outposts in Afghanistan. The response has been breathtaking. One of Obamas minions, former Veterans Affairs bureaucrat and now Housing and Urban Development flack Brandon Friedman defended his boss by suggesting that Bergdahls colleagues were psychopaths. Nancy Pelosis daughter, Alexandra, sneered that Bergdahls critics inside the military are dysfunctional. Harry Reid invoked Hillary Clintons What difference does it make? retort. The president himself sniffed that swelling anger among the families of the fallen was whipped up. Islamist sympathizers inside our military walk away, and the Obama White House turns a blind eye. The Fort Hood jihad attack by

Nidal Hasan, who invoked Hassoun in PowerPoint presentations to his military supervisors, is workplace violence. Gitmo recidivist Abu Sufian bin Qumu, lead suspect in the Benghazi attack, roams free despite the presidents promise to make justice his biggest priority. Our commander in chief empties Gitmo of the worst of the worst jihadists and shrugs at the recidivists targeting American soldiers and civilians. And in a desperate attempt to deflect from the rising death toll of the Veterans Affairs bookcooking scandal, Obama gave Bob Bergdahl a Rose Garden stage to invoke Allah in Arabic. If youre not whipped up into Category 5 disgust, youre not paying attention. Michelle Malkin is the author of Culture of Corruption Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks and Cronies Regnery 2010.

These programs all have different names but are essentially the same. They just have different titles because of boring legal reasons that I wont go into. All you need to know is that, no matter which of our programs you are enrolled in this summer, your experience will be fun, awesome, educational, empowering, and probably no, make that definitely very sweaty. Read more Why the Arts Matter May 11, 2017 in Arts Advocacy by Ellen Allen Its no secret that its hard being an artist. What we do requires study, practice, discipline, selfsacrifice, emotional engagement all things which are often absent from our instantgratificationloving, technologydriven, modern, American culture. In a time when our society seems to consume everincreasing amounts of cheap, thoughtless entertainment, the fine arts and the artists who produce them are hardly ever given the respect or resources they deserve. School districts all over the country have cut funding for their arts programs; local theaters, symphonies, and opera houses

struggle to stay afloat; and many freelancing professional artists face misunderstanding about or opposition to their requests to be compensated fairly for their work.
