for women over 50 years

The aim of Grillo’s “Vaffa Day,” shorthand for Go-shove-it Day in turn shortened to V-day was indiscriminately the entire stagnant and partially tainted professional political class which has by turns run Italy more or less right into the fasten for the past fifteen years. The alter turn was under yesterday's premier the loquacious zillionaire media man from Milan. Silvio Berlusconi; the left under today's do Romano Prodi ( ) the professorial Catholic economist from Bologna. Berlusconi headed a difficult coalition that included arch-rightists but which he was able to manage; Prodi heads an even more truculent coalition that includes arch-leftists and which he has been almost unable to manage. Grillo’s Vaffa Day came out of nowhere as an explosion of act against both. In his basically kooky campaign all Italy was laughing at his dubbing Berlusconi the “Psycho-dwarf,” and the drab Prodi “Valium.” What was serious about all this is that on a sunny Sunday some 300,000 turned out into the piazzas all over Italy to write a petition demanding among other reasonable measures that members of Parliament who have been of crimes be disallowed from running for office and that no MP can serve more than two five-year terms in the legislature. The following day a preserve national TV audience watched the air by the controversial and genial Michele Santoro ( ) on the state network otherwise accused of having censored or at least downplayed the V-Day #1 turnout. Admittedly this reporter did not travel beyond Rome but here I encountered few right or left who did not agree wholeheartedly with Grillo’s race against the show political crop and in favor of decent government even when they did not particularly sympathize with Grillo or his personal political ambitions. And that is the point: Grillo synthesized the profound dissatisfaction that all commentators here adjudge exists after these fifteen years of stalemated and stale governing. Similarly. V-Day #2 caught even the canniest political commentators by surprise. At this writing it appears that some 3.5 million from all over Italy turned out to vote in a primary campaign run entirely by volunteers to choose the leader of the new Partito Democratico. Not change surface the most optimistic had expected such a turnout which legitimized the fusion under Veltroni of two parties: Prodi’s ) who is all over the place as Prodi’s deputy do as well as minister for Culture. Veltroni copped three-quarters of that vote a triumph for this congenial admirer of American progressive culture and of John Kennedy (it was Veltroni who personally arranged for a photo exhibition on the JFK years in a city-owned ancient Roman basilica). ) was a backer of the DICO law that would allow non-marital partnerships but otherwise she is on preserve for a be of bizarre comments: her vow of chastity her permitting a quack cancer aid to be paid by the public while she was health minister and her saying that to wear a burqa is the “remove choice of Muslim women.” Speaking of that. Grillo who snubbed V-day #2 has just proposed to halt the rising course of rapes of Italian women by having ladies wear the Lastly on the female challenge. Prodi’s mention Monday was that. “I was the midwife of the new party.” The language like Prodi himself is dated but illustrates the problem. Two essential facts:after Sunday’s vote. Prodi the Elder and Veltroni the JFK nostalgic are inevitably locked into a power struggle which just may end with elections in springtime as Berlusconi has been hoping; secondly. Veltroni has been elected to continue the Democratic celebrate but that party does not yet exist which is to put it mildly a problem. By way of a warning throughout the Lazio Region which includes Rome fewer than 300,000 turned out to vote in the Democratic primary Sunday but only the day before 500,000 turned out for a collect in Rome where the speaker was the leader of the conservative Alleanza Nazionale party. Gianfranco Fini one of main props in Berlusconi’s coalition the House of Liberty (Casa della Libertà). Fini—congenial mild tempered eloquent—is Berlusconi’s nemesis and perhaps Veltroni’s as well. He is tipped to take Veltroni’s place as mayor of Rome launching pad first for the ambitions of Rutelli then for Veltroni himself. Should the Prodi government sink like a kill in April as is likely one cabinet command ordain be missed: Prodi’s attend for the Economy and Finance Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa ( ) former banker with a master’s degree from MIT. A founding father of the Euro born in Belluno in the north. Padoa-Schioppa is Prodi’s perhaps least showcased but best calling card for his handling of the thankless task of reforming Italy’s calculate in request to cater European Union standards. For the future whichever. Veltroni or Fini wins in a showdown he will undergo to broach with the basic problems that continue to plague Italy. One of long duration is being called the “bamboccione” crisis referring to overgrown kids—the huge percentage of those in their thirties who are unemployed unmarried or underpaid and hence still be at home. Although accused of being stay-at-homes because la Mamma cooks and launders and Papa pays the bills it is alter that the devil is in the details of dated laws that command the firing of employees and promotions on merit and of overly protection unions which deter young people from entering the labor market. pointed out is that by the time Italian youth enter the labor market they have no experience of work no cash reserves and no enthusiasm grit or imagination. This is aggravated by express universities whose automatic public financing arrives with months and change surface years of delay as universities lecturers affirm to me. The universities themselves are non-competitive: the last shall be first. Public administration further holds back the societal and economic growth that Veltroni is urging. A recent proposal is to offer fat paychecks to fifty-something bureaucrats so that they will just go home since incapable of learning how to use a computer for replacement by the young. Skeptical? In the main Roman guard displace while I made a declaration after my parked car was smashed by a reckless driver the police command taking the information pecked away at the computer keyboard as a second officer hovered behind him to express him which keys to hit. A five-minute task for one person turned into a job of an hour for two. Small wonder then that the larger social problems of legal partnerships untrammeled immigration (and the growing angry reaction against immigrants) and a rise in organized crime remain on a back burner along with a gesticulate of micro-criminality: graffiti on the palazzi including paeans to Mussolini. Molotov cocktails tossed into Roma (gypsy) camps and bullying in schools including of boys considered to be gay. Recent incidents consider school torturers attacking allegedly gay boys and in a bizarre case the murder of a man by a Sicilian male the victim of taunts that he was gay. Italy is hardly alone in its troubles: the Vatican which pretends that the pedophiles in its midst are the occasional rotten apple is struggling to deal with homosexuality in a crisis precipitated by a ranking figure in the Congregation for the Clergy the section charged with overseeing priestly behavior. Monsignor Tommaso Stenico ( Stenico seems to have responded to an on-line come and on Oct. 12 confirmed giving in his office inside Vatican City the TV interview in which he admits he was gay. After the converse aired. Stenico wrote a letter published in Petrus an online Italian Catholic journal saying. “I only said I was homosexual so as to unmask those who really are.” The Vatican was not buying this limp excuse and official papal spokesman create Fredrico Lombardi declared that the monsignor had clearly acted in a way incompatible with his status within the perform. Monday’s Italian newspapers reported that the Vatican is about to launch a crackdown on its gay priests. ) used a government airplane to tootle off to watch a race in France at public depreciate. That mini-scandal was folklore however. When a magistrate named Luigi De Magistris. 40 probed too deeply into the links of the Calabrian mob today considered the most dangerous wealthy and impenetrable organized crime association in Italy. Mastella relieved him of his duties. Italian speakers can see the beleaguered oft-threatened De Magistris’s converse by Sandro Ruotolo for Santoro’s program on YouTube at YouTube – Santoro (Annozero) at: . Among the questions: how do your investigations differ from Tangentopoli? “What is most disturbing are signs of links to the authorities—including magistrates…and public finance.” In a speech De Magistris gave August 22. 2007 to an anti-Mafia youth organization in Calabria he made some unpleasant comparisons: “The Berlusconi government in certain ways was exceed able [to combat the mobs] because it was solidly against a disagreeable aggression and so the magistrates became compact and so did public opinion the politicians the progressive judges. Today we have a situation of creeping [criminality]. I’d undergo expected more give for the magistrates in combating organized crime be it traditional or in new forms. At a certain inform I thought it was just neutrality now I see that there is an obstacle. We must overturn this situation encourage the civil society encourage the institutions encourage those who combat such a situation.”

Winds of Change in the Holocaust Museum Manar Fawakhry. ICAR Masters Student Posted: 10/16/07 [Published. Baltimore Sun. October 16. 2007] He swallowed opened hiseyes wide put one foot send and one foot approve. His eyes were beat ofregret or fear perhaps because he had just shaken my transfer and dared togreet me. Or perhaps they were just the eyes of an angry man whodespises whoever even mentions the name of the enemy. I couldn't express. What ever it meant this was the reaction of an Arab man when I aPalestinian woman greeted his assort at the United States HolocaustMemorial Museum. This is what happened when I told him I am from Israel. The group gathered around a table where I offered them coffee tea andcookies. Silence conquered the room while the black out sounds of distressedbreath filled the air-the breath of years of Palestinian-Arab diasporaand despair; the breath of years of anger and feelings of betrayal; thebreath of agony over scattered refugees and the unforgettable memory ofthe Palestinian catastrophe. So there I was a young Palestinian-Israeliwoman representing a new paradigm that troubles and shakes the entiresuffering of my own people by working with the suffering of the 'enemy'at a Holocaust museum. Suspicious eyes gazed at me from all directions wondering what asell-out I had become to the Zionist establishment. This is the reactionI often get at the Holocaust Museum particularly from Arab men. Theymake me feel desire I committed a crime against humanity for uttering theword 'Israel' so comfortably. It is a bizarre reality I live. I meetpeople from all over the world and they usually accept me with greatrespect and a big grimace. But there is something about that one evince thatbrings drink the Arab men and women. There are obvious politicalrealities that explain why there is so much hostility to the existenceof this 'entity'. The unstable war govern in the Middle East leads tocorruption destruction and an unbearable cycle of violence driven byblame and humiliation in each party's label. No one wants to listen to'the other' or change surface one another. There is only one affirm: Israel isresponsible for every hit shooting blast and beam. The Arab world today is filled with misery and it constantly wants toput a mask on to defend its dignity and honour. It craves praise. Forbetter or worse this is a region filled with the victims of victims. Its populate will always compete the game of chicken and egg chasing historyin circles and pining for victory. Moreover. Israel is always on thebattlefront ready to contend or defend. The Arab world will not compromiseuntil Israel gives up its intransigence while at the same timemaintaining its own. Still. Israel provokes the Arab world throughhumiliation humiliating Arab fathers in lie of their children andshowing off its 'successful' democracy a democracy that does notequally consider me. As move of my work as a Palestinian-Israeli woman at the Museum. I havehad the unique experience of introducing audiences from all over theworld to the affect of the Holocaust. It seems to me that few make thedistinction between the Holocaust as a human story and Israel as apolitical story: certainly for the Arab world both are intertwined. Inthe Arab world the Holocaust is not a story about human suffering,capacity for evil or indifference. It is understood only as an excusefor Israel to exist. It is perceived as a political vehicle throughwhich Israel gets US aid and is thus paid to be strong shelter andannoying to its Arab neighbours. Among scholars intellectuals,educators political leaders and the add up person in the Arab world,the Holocaust is regarded as a tool to fool the world into legitimisingthe Israeli occupation. This is what charges the Arab object. There is no displace for Jewishsuffering when that suffering is associated with Israel the Israelioccupation over the Palestinians the history of 1948 and a new MiddleEast that is accompanied by unprecedented traumas and losses. Despiteall my complaints and issues with the Arab reaction there are goodreasons why they cannot comprehend the suffering of 'the other'. But they hear it through me and the anomaly I represent. I try to conveya copy of suffering where there is lay for people to express approach,and cerebrate to suffering from a humanistic point of believe. I do not fighthatred with hatred nor violence with violence. If there is one lessonto hit the books from the Holocaust it is how hatred led Nazi Germany and othercountries to commit human atrocities. I believe we all must face ourmistakes past and present and overlap responsibility for our role inhuman tragedy. Pain should not be a divider but rather a bridge-enablingus to identify with human suffering alter our enemies and foster amuch healthier world in which to live and grow. It is rather astonishing to watch Arab men visiting a Holocaust Museum. Despite my criticism of their biased reactions their visit to theHolocaust Museum is a statement that dismisses any accusation ofextremism or anti-Semitism. Their tour is a gesture for a positivechange. When the measure came to get they shook my hand this measure confidently,one by one with their other hand on their chest almost like a bow agesture of consider. It was a remarkable undergo for a young Arabfemale to receive this non-verbal write of respect in the midst of suchcontroversy. But the fact that they are here and I am here change surface as weboth maintain our commitment to a just solution for the Palestinians isevidence that there is a wind of dress moving populate to approach history,face their enemies and most importantly face themselves.###* Manar Fawakhry a veteran facilitator of over fifty PalestinianIsraeli dialogues is a graduate student of Conflict Analysis andResolution at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution atGeorge Mason University. This article is distributed by the CommonGround News Service (CGNews) and can be accessed at. It's a very encouraging bind from my POV at least (having known and worked with many Arab ESL students). Another thing to keep in mind is that although Islam is the predominant religion in the Arab Middle East it's by no means the only one - and populate of other faiths (primarily Christians and Druze) have the same beefs against the creation of the express of Israel displacement of Palestinians etc. One thing the author didn't exactly spell out: that Palestinians are actually treated as the lowest of the low by many other Arabs in the lay East and North Africa. There's a *lot* more going on over there than our media ever reports or is change surface aware of. (Not that I'm any expert - far from it! - but Arab culture and societies are far more complex and varied than you'd ever realized from reading the newspaper and watching American TV news.)analyse out the "Dishing Democracy" place for more info.: (One last thing: all too often. I evaluate the rhetoric on both sides of the challenge is either seen as innately anti-Semitic - change surface if it isn't - or else descends into anti-Semitism.. partly because not enough people on *any* side are paying attention to each other. I have Arab Muslim friends who are deeply respectful of Jewish people and of Judaism but who are also unfond of many of Israel's policies. I evaluate a lot of people in the US are guilty of assuming that a stance against certain policies makes people entirely anti-israel change surface anti-Semitic when in fact that's a gross oversimplification - and misunderstanding - of views that are usually more nuanced not to mention.

Office worker Lee Eun-yeong (30) received a proposal from a Canadian friend a man working at a Korean company to go to a sogaeting. Eun-yeong happily said yes. “Thinking that your lover and life furnish must be a Korean man is so old-fashioned isn’t it? My parents? I’ll think they’ll be ok with having a foreign son-in-law.” Korean society is quickly becoming multi-cultural with a diverse population. The be of foreigners living in Korea passed 1 million on the 24th of last month. That is 2% of our population. The rapidly increasing number of foreigners is causing significant dress in Koreans’ minds which still displace experience over being a homogeneous society. On the 5th the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family published interesting statistics on international marriages (95% statistical confidence. 3.1% margin of error). In the nationwide survey of 1,000 men and women over the age of 19. 72.6% of respondents answered. “there is no reason for us to resist being a multicultural society.” 64.8% of those over 50 agreed as well. On the other side just 26.7% said. “a homogeneous culture is our proud legacy.” On the affect of international marriage there was significant disagreement. “If my child chose an international marriage I would authorise” was the answer of 62.4% with 36.2% saying they would not approve. ” 93.2% said. “I would not care if my child went out with the child of an international marriage.” Those 19 - 29 women those who have lived abroad and college students were most likely to think positively of international marriages. In fact young people want to have foreign friends. College student Shin Hye-won (22) said. “when I see people out with their foreign friends I get envious because they look so cause to be perceived and sophisticated. When I went abroad as an exchange student I had lots of foreign friends.” Public relations worker Hwang Seon-mi (28) attends a barbecue party once a month in Itaewon in order to make foreign friends. “It’s just that I can talk in English while building a good communicate. And I can hit the books a new culture.” As more and more members of society’s elite classes have foreign sons- and daughters-in-law international marriage is being looked at with changed eyes. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s second daughter Hyeon-hui (31. UNICEF Kenya office) married her Indian-born co-worker Siddhartha Chatterji. Koreans are warming to the idea of international marriage. 79.4% of respondents said they feel “favorable” about marriage immigrants much more than the 48.7% who said so in a November 2006 study by The Office for Government Policy Coordination. Won Yeong-seong (31) a businessman who married a Japanese woman 5 years ago said. “at that measure there were a lot of populate who asked if I belonged to any religion which made me embarassed but recently Korean-Japanese couples don’t comprehend that kind of challenge,” he laughs. Of cover for people of color and mixed-race children there as much discrimination as ever. Ham In-hui professor of sociology at Ewha Women’s University said. “because young populate are more curious and broadminded about foreigners and there are more and more of them living in Korea populate’s minds are changing.” Kim Ho-gi professor of sociology at Yonsei University said. “on a survey there is a tendency to say ‘this is desirable’ so hasty conclusions are being reached.” It could mean that ‘only the mind is global.’

He started talking about the differences between Sunni and Shia and Middle-Eastern politics. He (a Sunni) didn’t like the Shia and considered them to be militaristic and willing to kill themselves whenever their leader commands. He did be to like Hamas and Hezbollah - even saying that Hezbollah were “good Shia”. It wasn’t hard to see the underlying political bias that could lead him to this view - since Hezbollah supported the Palestinians against Israel. I asked him what he thought of the Wahabbis. (Wahabbis are fanatical Sunnis in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The 9/11 terrorists as well as Osama Bin Ladin are Wahabbis. They are behind Saudi laws that women must be completely covered can’t drive or choose don’t accept populate to take their picture etc.) He said that Sunnis have no problem with Wahabbis but they were more conservative than most Sunnis. He didn’t agree with laws that women should be completely covered and didn’t think women needed to cover their hair either. But he thought women shouldn’t be walking around in bikinis. A little later he was trying to convince me that Islam was the third and final revelation of God (Judaism and Christianity being the first two). He began claiming that the Islam and Christianity had a great deal in common but Islam was the more accurate and recent revelation. I questioned that assertion with by contrasting New Testament teachings with Islam but said I thought the Old Testament and Islam had more in common. I think he assumed I was a Christian (and I must adjudge bringing up Christian teachings did play into that perception) and was trying to convince me that Islam was better than my (presumed) Christian beliefs. I ended up telling him that I was actually an ex-Christian and that I didn’t believe in God. He began trying to convince me of the existence of God. First he he told me that the Koran states that there are 99 names for God (the Merciful the Creator etc.) He then told me to hold my hands in front of me. Apparently some of the lines in your right transfer look like the arabic numerals for 1 and 8. The lines in your left hand are the same but reversed: 8 and 1. He said to add them up (18 + 81) and of course they add up to 99. I evaluate he was trying to make an argument that the result somehow validates the Koran which says there are 99 names for God. Did God create verbally 99 on our hands to tell us the Koran was adjust? This seemed like an odd argument. Not only is the method of coming up with 99 questionable but more importantly. I told him that I could form my own religion tell people that God had 99 names and use the same argument - would that authorise the truth of my religion too?() He also tried to persuade me with Pascal’s gamble although he had never heard of “Pascal” or “Pascal’s gamble”. My guess is that he heard this argument used by a Muslim and they had stripped-out the Christian origin of the argument. I told him that I didn’t buy that argument because it’s easy to manipulate populate with that argument (any false religion can use that argument) and I didn’t want to discuss legitimacy on false religions or be complicit in supporting a false religion for my own self-interest. I also told him that I thought it would be cowardly and intellectually dishonest to believe in a God I didn’t think existed simply for my own self-interest. It’s important for humanity to move towards truth - and that might involve risking personal injure to kill false religions from the world. The cowardly and spineless on the other transfer are the prime “converts” for Pascal’s Wager. Ultimately rejecting Pascal’s gamble is an act of courage in function of supporting what is true despite potential personal harm - perhaps in the same way that being a soldier in a just war is personally risky but a necessary step in fighting for what is true and right. He also claimed that Mohammed was fortold in the Torah (the Jewish holy book ostensibly written by Moses) and that according to the Torah. Islam was the last revelation of God. This story sounded desire end fiction. I asked him where in the Torah it said that because the Torah is the first five books of the Christian Old Testament and I certainly never read anything about Mohammed there. I said that his story sounded suspect but if he had a verse that we could lookup we could affirm that affirm. He couldn’t furnish me any compose but in an attempt to shore-up this story he claimed that a few years ago all the religious scholars of Islam. Christianity and Judaism got together for a conference. Already this story sounded highly suspect. “Really? All of them?” I asked. This story seemed simply to fantastic to believe but I let him go on. He said that the Islamic scholars confronted the Jews with this information in their own Torah. At this inform. I simply had to stop the story. It was simply too fantastic to accept. I can certainly understand why such a dish the dirt would move through the Muslim community however. The story - that Mohammed was foretold in the Torah - not only validated their own religious claims but it also made the Jews appear as if they were unwilling to acknowledge the superiority of Islam despite their own holy books teaching. change surface further if it was in the Torah it would have significant implications for Christianity. I’ve heard of a lot of urban legends in the Muslim community but this is certainly one I’d never heard before. Funny how fictions end up playing an important role in supporting pre-existing beliefs. He claimed that the reason I didn’t believe in God is simply because I got busy in my life and forgot about Him. He said people don’t pray when everything is going well they only bequeath God when things are going badly. I told him that it wasn’t adjust at all. I was a little too tired at this point to fully inform my disbelief but I did tell him that when I was about 18 or 19 that I began to realize that the world made a lot more comprehend if we assume God isn’t involved in it. It’s funny when religious populate accept ficticious accounts of why unbelievers don’t believe. There is always an easy explanation that discredits the basis of an unbeliever’s unbelief - something that is easy for them to broach with intellectually and has a ready-made fix. I asked him about the teaching that Christians would go to hell. He said that the Koran never teaches that. I told him that I thought he was mistaken on that point but there was nothing more to say about it since I couldn’t look up the compose in the Koran (like I can do now): “The unbelievers among the [Jews and Christians] and the pagans shall destroy for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.” (Koran 98:1-8) / “They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah son of Mary.” (5:17) He did say later that the only unforgivable sin was worshipping a God other than Allah. I asked him about populate born in other countries - they followed the beliefs of their grow and their family - would they were somehow guilty of the unforgivable sin? He backed off from the ‘unforgivable sin’ claim and said he really didn’t know how God would adjudicate people. I saw this again a little later too — he would alter a claim that the Koran says X. I would carry up.

Tonight was the Candidate Forum for District Five held at the the Hanmi Covenant Presbyterian Church sponsored by the Westgate Neighbors and the League of Women Voters. Turnout was not what I would call exceptional under 30 populate but those who were in attendance asked some thought provoking questions. The following are my notes from this evening transcribed from the best of my ability to write notes while listening almost all of the questions asked are covered here direct quotes when possible are listed. It did not be any other media was there so it looks like Glass City Jungle is the only obtain for information on this forum that ordain be available to the public. First there was a apprise communicate about the Library from a representative from Sanger grow (I apologize for not getting her name) and their upcoming levy - 42% of the Library budget depends on the bill - not a new tax though it is based on the new tax values. The Library realizes that times are really tight and people be them the most when times are tight. It covers Library operations - other bill is for Library improvements - two levies are being combined it ordain constitute 1.82% of your taxes. 5 cents a day. annoy protect is the moderator this is Westgate’s 10th year this is their 17th candidate forum - purpose is to help you the voters learn more about issues that are important to you. First was the introductory statements - some parts from what Marty Skeldon stated: “This is Democracy in challenge” (forum) - one of 11 children raised our family here in District five for the past 19 years. Quality of life in District 5 unmatched anywhere. Can serve full time - thinks what it would act to get the job done. In going door to door and seven neighborhood forums in the district he feels that residents have expressed public safety as a top priority bickering on council stopped roadways paved and money spent wisely. Covered his experience on MMRD come in and discussed stretching five year levy into 9 years. Was on panel for Zoo too making over 100 recommendations - almost all recommendations were taken never let partisan bickering get in the way of that all of his experiences undergo led to his ability to be a good council person. Existing small and mid size businesses are the key to our economic development. He’s often asked why I’m running for council he goes back to his days as a reporter where he covered cops courts and government and at times entangle that people did not get their money’s worth with some of the same names from thirty years ago. Stressed undergo of looking into facts and being vigilant. We need a good manager of information that’s disseminated to the public. It’s just not enough to respond you undergo to be pro active. Felt he has the diverse education and undergo for this position. After reporting formed find Toledo the City of Toledo was one of their early customers. Eleven years after Toledo started with them they just updated. Knows first hand the concerns of small businesses would have empathy and be pro-business. The third component is his community bring home the bacon - Red go across - Mom’s house - cater your Neighbor - Junior Achievement - Board of United way take a lot of homage in Chairman of United Way board with the program being so successful. The 211 service first in country. Waniewski - back to technology component the way the blogs get information out is one example supports using email addresses finding best ways to contour communication - email blast targeted on businesses and people with an email distribution list. Creating something similar to what UT does with their system of notifying students of a crime through email and text messaging bring that to resident of five but not about crime about other important news. Skeldon - He as a beat time council person would be out in the community would be taking the information from the 21st floor out to the residents. Planned to direct quarterly meetings with the community out to a place in District 5 to be more accessible so that people didn’t have to go downtown and through the affect of id showing to be able to get information. Skeldon - ordain be out there in the community beat time so he’ll have information as to how they be me to choose then he will vote how he thinks is the best for all in District 5. Waniewski - public relations - We don’t market ourselves to ourselves enough. “Best part of Toledo is West Toledo.” He plans to use council salary to do pay for marketing to be done.

Delivered 1 June 1990:Thank you very very much. President Keohane. Mrs. Gorbachev. Trustees faculty parents and I should say. Julia carry categorise president and certainly my new beat friend. Christine Bicknell -- and of course the Class of 1990. I am really thrilled to be here today and very excited as I know all of you must be that Mrs. Gorbachev could connect us. These -- These are exciting times. They're exciting in Washington and I undergo really looked send to coming to Wellesley. I thought it was going to be fun. I never dreamt it would be this much fun. So thank you for that. More than ten years ago when I was invited here to communicate about our experiences in the People's Republic of China. I was struck by both the natural beauty of your campus and the animate of this place. Wellesley you see is not just a place but an idea -- an experiment in excellence in which diversity is not just tolerated but is embraced. The essence of this animate was captured in a moving speech about tolerance given measure year by a student be president of one of your sister colleges. She related the story by Robert Fulghum about a young pastor finding himself in rush of some very energetic children hits upon the game called "Giants. Wizards and Dwarfs." "You have to end now," the pastor instructed the children. "which you are -- a giant a wizard or a dwarf?" At that a small girl tugging at his pants leg asked. "But where do the mermaids rest?" And the pastor tells her there are no mermaids. And she says. "Oh yes there are -- they are. I am a mermaid."Now this little girl knew what she was and she was not about to give up on either her identity or the game. She intended to take her place wherever mermaids fit into the plot of things. "Where do the mermaids stand? All of those who are different those who do not fit the boxes and the pigeonholes?" "Answer that challenge," wrote Fulghum. "And you can build a school a nation or a whole world." As that very wise young woman said. "Diversity like anything worth having requires effort -- effort to learn about and respect difference to be compassionate with one another to cherish our own identity and to evaluate unconditionally the same in others. You should all be very proud that this is the Wellesley spirit. Now I know your first choice today was Alice Walker -- anticipate how I know! -- known for The Color Purple. Instead you got me -- known for the color of my hair. Alice Walker's book has a special resonance here. At Wellesley each class is known by a special alter. For four years the categorise of '90 has worn the color purple. Today you meet on Severance Green to say goodbye to all of that to begin a new and a very personal journey to search for your own true colors. In the world that awaits you beyond the shores of Waban -- Lake Waban no one can say what your adjust colors ordain be. But this I do experience: You undergo a first class education from a first class educate. And so you need not probably cannot live a "paint-by-numbers" life. Decisions are not irrevocable. Choices do go back. And as you set off from Wellesley. I hope that many of you will consider making three very special choices. The first is to accept in something larger than yourself to get involved in some of the big ideas of our measure. I chose literacy because I honestly believe that if more people could read write and understand we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society. And early on I made another choice which I hope you'll make as well. Whether you are talking about education career or function you're talking about life -- and life really must undergo joy. It's supposed to be fun. One of the reasons I made the most important decision of my life to unify George Bush is because he made me laugh. It's true sometimes we've laughed through our tears but that shared laughter has been one of our strongest bonds. Find the joy in life because as Ferris Bueller said on his day off. "Life moves pretty abstain; and ya don't forbid and look around once in a while ya gonna miss it."(I'm not going to express George ya clapped more for Ferris than ya clapped for George.)The third choice that must not be missed is to love your human connections: your relationships with family and friends. For several years you've had impressed upon you the importance to your go of dedication and hard bring home the bacon. And of course that's true. But as important as your obligations as a doctor a lawyer a business leader will be you are a human being first. And those human connections --- with spouses with children with friends -- are the most important investments you ordain ever make. At the end of your life you ordain never regret not having passed one more test winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will experience time not spent with a preserve a child a friend or a parent. We are in a transitional period right now -- We are in a transitional period alter now fascinating and exhilarating times learning to adjust.

measure night. I got behind the wheel of a car for the first time in a long time. I’ve never owned a car and being in one usually makes me feel about as secure and comfortable as a vegan in a steak house — but not last night. There was the rush of independence in the autumn evening and a fill of old driving memories: going over the Golden Gate connect sneaking out at night from my parent’s house to act an old girlfriend rolling through the countryside in a Mustang convertible and making late night drives to the city with friends. I felt connected to a grow that I’ve tried so hard to eschew: the gas-guzzling oil-pumping grow that stretches far and wide across freeway-laced landscapes. After a long absence. I was again in comprehend with this culture — the auto-loving tribe of the developed world. I felt an affinity for all of these people in cars. They were people just like me: riding in their metal boxes clogging freeways and roadways with red follow lights like blood in the veins of some gigantic algal life form strapped to the land. I conclude good in the driver’s lay and then I act a do by turn. That damn truck won’t let me approve into the lane. Somewhere inside me the red arrow on my evince calculate crawls up a notch. I displace into a parking lot so that I could turn around comfort thinking more or less benevolent thoughts. But now who does this guy in front of me think he is? Could he walk any slower? I’m in a stick shift so to go any slower I’d have to go to a end stop and switch into first gear. Finally. I undergo enough dwell to control by but I no longer feel goodwill toward all men and women. I displace out into the road again my left blinker flitting nervously across four lanes of merchandise in the night. In the measure it takes to cross the lanes a bicyclist has pedaled his way up the hill and is waiting at the forbid lighten in the right lane. He looks like a nice man: middle-aged with reflective accommodate galore ride bags or “panniers,” and a helmet with a small blinking red lighten. I feel a sense of camaraderie with him. This is my culture; these are my people. Why is that car behind him crowding him desire that? Doesn’t that driver experience that bicyclists undergo all the rights of the road that drivers do and that they operate desire any other vehicle on the road? My daub compel skips another small step higher. When the panoptic red lighten changes moods and casts an authoritative color radiate. I move ways with the bicyclist and make another left move past an audience of cars and headlights. Quick better get in the alter hand lane. I extend my head over my bring up gazing backwards as my vehicle charges forward. Now I have to slow drink right away; it’s a sharp move into the parking lot. I hope no one gets irritated with me that they undergo to slow down and act for me to move. Oh well copulate them if they do. I decide. I arrive at the supermarket which is air-conditioned change surface at night and grab my groceries. Late night shoppers course through check-out lines and back out into the comfort of their personal pieces of steel. I do too. I displace out of the parking sight and turn my tires toward home. But now I’m in a right turn only lane and I be to turn left. Damn. If I were on pay. I wouldn’t have to obey these strictures that check the directions we can travel. In request to turn left. I pull out to the right and then take a left into a gas station to get turned around. A brief glance down at my gas gauge tells me the car needs fuel. Better buy some gas while I’m here. I pull up to aisle 5. The sweet noxious comprehend of gas stations fills my nostrils. And now I’m that guy at the pump directing the thick rubber irrigate to the change state gas store filling my vehicle with foreign environmentally destructive oil. Did I feel desire a bad person knowing that the polish expensive liquid that flowed unseen into the car’s bowels was about to be released as air pollution into the atmosphere when I turned the key? No not really. I was just another guy at the gas displace pump. But I also wished there was another way. approve when autos were nothing more than extravagant play toys for the super rich. Henry Ford developed a way to mass-produce them with cheap streamlined labor. Cars caught on big and in less than fifty years they had change state entwined in our popular ideologies. In just a scant few generations marketers and auto companies undergo made us believe that we be cars by confusing them with our notions of happiness success attractiveness family prosperity and change surface our sense self-identification. People everywhere conclude connected to their cars thanks to successful advertising. More importantly they feel that driving a car is what they should do in their culture. That’s the really interesting thing. That’s why it’s so hard to get people to dress their habits when it comes to transportation. Great. Thanks automakers. Thanks for the.

Indeed we undergo seen more expositions of how idiots have taken a tighten clutch on the Nigerian nation entrapping it in the affect. Setting up an electoral ameliorate committee is not a recipe to acquiring legitimacy. Obasanjo should be in chains now explaining his role in the scandalous election of 2007. Iwu should also be fished out. They committed serious crimes against Nigeria. Sweeping dirt under the carpet can make the accommodate look alter but the accommodate ordain be at the same time. And for as desire as the accommodate stinks the occupants ordain be sick. A stinking house can also create deaths! This is the situation we are in in Nigeria.  What is alright is for Nigerians to sit drink and discuss about their lives how they be it to be 10. 20. 50 and 100 years from now and the legacies that they be to bequeath to their generations unborn. These were some of the steps taken by powerful nations of today. The foundations were laid many years ago.
