Singer and DJ, Leonardo Renato Aulder, got together with friends, including El General, to pioneer a movement in the 1980s which they called “reggae in Spanish”.It later became known as reggaeton. Many people think this globally popular music – with its legendary stars like Bad Bunny, Ivy Queen and Daddy Yankee - started in Puerto Rico, but they're wrong.Renato, as he's known, took dancehall music from Jamaica and adapted it to his Spanish speaking Panamanian audience to create a new style of music, which spread in clubs and on the buses. He tells Jane Chambers how he did it. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

The Panama Canal is a short cut between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean and plays a huge role in global shipping.The United States had rights to the land surrounding it, known as the canal zone, and also controlled the waterway itself. In 1977, responding to years of Panamanian protest, US President Jimmy Carter and Panama's General Omar Torrijos signed two new treaties, giving full control to Panama. The handover ceremony took place in December 1999.Alberto Aleman Zubieta was an administrator of the canal.

During World War Two, a Japanese American battalion became one of the most decorated army units in US military history. The 442nd Regimental Combat Unit earned more than 4,000 Purple Hearts and seven Presidential Unit Citations for extraordinary heroism in battle.The unit was set up in 1943, just over a year after Japan bombed the US naval base at Pearl Harbour. Following the attack, 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast were sent to internment camps, but many were keen to show their loyalty to the US.They volunteered to join the 442nd RCT and fight in Europe. Hundreds of recruits came from the camps, while thousands of others were from the Japanese American community in Hawaii.Among them was 19-year-old Matsuichi Kusatsu. His son Clyde tells Jane Wilkinson about how the unit fought prejudice to prove their loyalty, and a warning, this story includes racist language of the time.Actor Clyde stars in the BBC World Service drama Purple Heart Warriors.

In this week's episode,  we continue in our 4 part Advent study of Heather's new book Encountering Emmanuel and focus on “Week Two”. We ponder the reality that we are welcomed into Jesus' family as heirs and children of God. We also discuss the restoration that takes place in family, relating to each other as spiritual family, and the ache we experience for union with God in Heaven.    Heather's One Thing - The community at Franciscan  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Gingerbread and gingerbread cookie recipes Michelle's One Thing - The gift of community in North Carolina   Other Resources Mentioned:  Encountering Emmanuel Resources     Journal Questions: How do I “sanitize” the Gospel and oversimplify the transformation Christ came to bring us? In what parts of my heart am I not attached to the Lord? Do I believe the Lord delights in the poor parts of my heart? Or do I believe He merely tolerates them? How do I experience the Divine Ache in my life? Do I run from the ache or run towards the Lord when I experience it?   Discussion Questions: How have you experienced healing and restoration within your family? How have you experienced the Trinity as a family? How often do you consider the hope and reality of Heaven? Have you experienced the transformation from deep aches to lasting hope?   Quotes to Ponder: “The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature”: “For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.” “For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.” “The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.” (CCC 460)   Scripture for Lectio: “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” (Romans 8:14-17)   Sponsor - In.spired Living: Inspired Living is a Catholic home decor, book and gift shop dedicated to helping you create a beautiful home full of reflections of the eternal.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got two guys with more than a hundred years of music-making experience between them and the endless stories to match: Tucker Zimmerman and Tony Visconti. You'll be forgiven if you don't recognize Tucker Zimmerman's name: The songwriter existed on the fringes of the folk scene in the late 1960s but in spite of acclaim from fellow musicians—including David Bowie, as you'll hear—he never broke out. That may be because Zimmerman left America for Belgium, where he's continued to quietly create music and write for the past 40 years. But you can only keep a secret like Zimmerman for so long, and Big Thief's Adrianne Lenker happened to hear one of his records a couple of year ago and was inspired enough that one thing led to another and Big Thief ended up creating an entire record with Zimmerman called Dance of Love, which came out earlier this year. It's an odd, beautiful collaboration that's well worth checking out. In fact, check out  “Burial At Sea” from Dance of Love right here; it features Lenker and Zimmerman's voices together. The other half of today's conversation is a legendary musician and producer who also had a lot to do with bringing Tucker Zimmerman into the public consciousness. Tony Visconti is best known for his many, many collaborations with David Bowie, with whom he worked closely over Bowie's entire career. Visconti has also produced records for T. Rex, Morrissey, Sparks, and way more others than I have time to list here. But for purposes of this conversation, we need to note that he helped created Zimmerman's Ten Songs album back in 1968, which they get into in this chat. They've stayed in touch over the years, and you'll hear the affection in their voices. Speaking of voices, the third person who pops up briefly in this chat is Tucker's wife Marie Claire, who also appears on the cover of Dance of Love and contributes some vocals. Elsewhere in this conversation, Tucker and Tony talk about their early adventures together, include an acid trip facilitated by a guy named Dr. Sam. They chat about Bowie, of course, and Tucker gets a chance to thank Tony for helping him out over the years—and how he's glad Tony didn't agree to produce an ABBA record when he had the chance. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Tucker Zimmerman and Tony Visconti for chatting.

Today’s daf is sponsored by Rabbi Lisa Malik & Adi Wyner in honor of their first grandchild, Azriel David's first birthday today, son of Ariel Wyner & Sofia Chiarandini, and in honor of their daughter, Eva Wyner, upon her engagement to Reuven Rosen. "We love Reuven and look forward to welcoming him into our family!" According to Rabbi Yirmia bar Abba, the witnesses' signatures in a tied document (mekushar) would be at the bottom of the document (as opposed to Rav Huna who held they were at the top, on the tied part), ensuring that no extra lines were added. There would be no need to then add the words "hakol sharir v'kayam" at the end of the document. However, this could still lead to forgery as an extra line could be added and an additional witness could sign at the bottom. Therefore, they then explain that Rabbi Yirmia bar Abba must hold that the signatures are on the back and run perpendicular to the text, beginning at the bottom opposite where the text ends, thus preventing the possibility of a forgery. However, this can still lead to forgery as it is assumed at first that only the first signature starts at the bottom and the others are higher up. If so, there is concern that one could cut out a line in the document and it could be accepted as valid by the court as a partial signature (son of...) is valid. After some back and forth, Gemara explained why this was not a concern. However, Mar Zutra explains that all the signatures must line up at the bottom, thereby precluding the possibility that one could cut off a line (as all the names would never be able to be cut in a way that would go unnoticed). Rabbi Yitzchak bar Yosef brings two laws in the name of Rabbi Yochanan. If one erases something in a document, one must write a note testifying to the change at the bottom. The last line before the end should always include a review of the content of the document since if something new is written in the last line, it is not upheld, as there is a concern it was added after the signatures.

If so, there is concern that one could cut out a line in the document and it could be accepted as valid by the court as a partial signature (son of...) is valid. After some back and forth, Gemara explained why this was not a concern. However, Mar Zutra explains that all the signatures must line up at the bottom, thereby precluding the possibility that one could cut off a line (as all the names would never be able to be cut in a way that would go unnoticed). Rabbi Yitzchak bar Yosef brings two laws in the name of Rabbi Yochanan. If one erases something in a document, one must write a note testifying to the change at the bottom. The last line before the end should always include a review of the content of the document since if something new is written in the last line, it is not upheld, as there is a concern it was added after the signatures.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Larry Neiderhiser Scripture reference Mark 14:32-42 32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.” 35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[f] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn't you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him. 41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

The tenth chapter begins with a comparison between two different types of documents - a regular one (pashut) and one that has folds (mekushar). The differences include the number of witnesses required and where they sign. Several verses are brought to find a source for these two documents and their differences in the Torah and in Yirmiyahu. However, since these verses can be explained in another manner, the Gemara concludes that these differences are rabbinic and are merely connected to verses as an asmachta. The get mekushar was instituted in a particular place where many kohanim lived who were known to be short-tempered and would decide in a moment of anger to divorce their wives. Since kohanim cannot remarry their wife after divorcing her, the rabbis instituted a takana that the kohanim would need to give their wives a get mekushar, which is very time-consuming. This would buy time so they could calm down from their anger and hopefully decide not to divorce their wives. Rav Huna and Rav Yirmia bar Abba debate where the witnesses sign on a get mekushar, either between the folds or on the back of the document opposite the writing. Rami bar Hama asked about Rav Huna's opinion, why are we not concerned that someone will add words to the text below after the witnesses sign.

When anxiety grips us, what do we do? This Sunday, let's talk about how God helps us face what feels overwhelming. EASY TO GIVE at Harmony, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give ). Get the fill in the blank bulletins my.harmonychurch.cc/bulletins. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: In Kansas when there is a tornado, they take over the tv stations? And there are only two responses to a tornado… 1. You freak out, grab all your kids, dogs, pictures, and toilet paper and run to your tornado shelter. 2. Or you grab your binoculars, open your garage door and stand out in the storm looking for a funnel cloud. That's it. Those are your two options. Well, there's a third option, you move to Canada, but none of us in here are that chicken hearted… Which one would you be? tornado shelter or binoculars? There aren't any canadians in here are there? Phew… Ok… This week we are talking about anxiety. The scripture actually deals with anxiety a lot. When it comes to anxiety, there are really two kinds of people. There are people that are gripped by anxiety and people that are affected by anxiety. And of course, there's Canadians… the reality is, all of us face anxiety at some point. -When you see your child climbing 40 feet up in a tree and your heart skips a beat, that's a reasonable anxiety -When there are flashing lights behind you after you've been driving 90 mph, that's reasonable anxiety -when your boss says, “Later today, I need to speak to you in my office alone” that's reasonable anxiety. Anxiety is a natural, God given response to create a heightened state of alertness in dangerous or fearful situations. B The problem is for some of us our brains have a disproportionate response to the inputs we experience. b This can lead to excessive nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worry. b If you are the kind of person who is gripped with anxiety, you get this. ILLUSTRATION: You know what it's like to walk into a room full of strangers and feel like the walls are closing in on you, dreading every interaction. You're thinking, “you're lucky I'm even here Kent!” You know what it's like to be immobilized by a deadline, feeling the weight of it hanging over you like 100lbs barbell. You know what it's like to run the events of the day over and over again, rethinking every situation to the nth degree. When you are gripped by anxiety. It can feel desperate and hopeless. Here's the problem. Others of you are like the binoculars people with the tornado - you go through life pretty care free and don't get it. Some of you are not gripped by anxiety at all - you are only affected by it - it comes and then it goes. People who are affected by anxiety are the people who are trying to manage the anxiety of their loved ones and coworkers - they need extra patience and struggle trying to understand why the other person can't just get over it. ILLUSTRATION: I am a little of both of these people. As I studied this more, I have silly anxiety over little things - like asking questions that I think are dumb, or letting someone do something knowing they may not be as good at it as me. But I've also realized how often I'm the person saying, “Just get over it…” “You shouldn't be worrying about this…” What I've learned from researching anxiety is that very few of us are very good at dealing with it. b so, what do we do? Here's a few things I need to say before we jump into what the bible has to say about this. And I'm speaking directly to those of you who struggle with anxiety and are gripped by it. 1. You are not alone. 40 million Americans struggle with this. And it is more and more prevalent in younger generations. My guess is, if you are 40 or under, you identify with this and if you are older, you may be going, “I don't get it”? There are a lot of reasons for the increase in anxiety. But I believe one of the biggest contributing factors is lack of boredom. People can't even sit on the toilet without using a phone - DO NOT USE OTHER PEOPLES PHONES! Younger Americans are CONSTANTLY evaluating their outer worlds and give little to no attention to their inner worlds. Some of our anxiety comes from not dealing with the inner turmoil inside of us. I also want you to know, 2. It's ok to not be ok… ILLUSTRATION: after my dad died, I went to see a Christian Counselor (suggest cc's). One of the things he said was, “Kent, who's putting all this pressure on you. You need to stand up and say to your congregation that it's ok not to be ok, because Christians rarely admit that it's ok to not be perfect” That changed everything for me. God is not displeased with you just because you're not perfect. Believe it or not, that's EXACTLY why He died for you. the last thing I want you to know is this 3. There is hope to recover from Anxiety… Living with things like depression or anxiety it can feel like you are never going to get over it. I want you to know, if you don't give up, God won't either. it may take a lifetime, but God will NEVER give up on you - no matter how dark it may seem… reminds me of a passage of scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Before I speak into those of you who are gripped with anxiety, can I speak for a moment into those of us who are affected by it? As someone who has been on this side of the fence, I need to tell you - we need to repent… I have not been a man who has always led with compassion in this area, and I am so deeply sorry for that. if you are someone who is dealing with someone who is riddled by anxiety. 2 things to do to lead better with the anxious. 1. Let Love Lead 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. Rarely has my response to anxiety been about loving the other person, it has almost always been a selfish oriented response. I would never react that way to a sprained ankle or broken leg, but an emotionally mental challenge I react poorly to. 2. Come up with a game plan Work with the person to learn ways you can help in those moments. Maybe it's just giving them space and you handling the thing that is producing the anxiety. But come up with a game plan and ask them to trust that in those moments, you are trying to lead with love. Now for those of you who are gripped with anxiety. I want to offer you something a little different from a normal 3 point message. There are SO many scriptures that are so good for helping with anxiety. I was thinking, how do I give that to you in a way that's meaningful. So, I did something different. I took a bunch of these passages and I wrote them into a letter from your Abba - your daddy, God the Father… I want to close by reading this letter to you. I'm going to ask you to do something for me. I want to ask you to close your eyes, bow your head and listen to this letter from God to you… Dear Beloved, I know the crushing thoughts that pervade your heart. I hear the waves of anxious thinking that bombard your mind. I need you to know, I have looked you over, and I know your heart of hearts. I know all the good and all the dastardly, all the hidden things you want no one to know, and I need you to know, I'm here, not going anywhere. I'm here to lead you into a way that is everlasting - a way of hope, life, and peace (Psalm 139:23-24). Let that word, “peace," hang in the air for a moment - it is yours. It's what I offer. It is the peace that comes when you finally come to the end of yourself. When you finally realize your utter inability to control anything. It is a peace that comes when you recognize, in deep conversation with me, that I am utterly in control. You will know you are getting there when your mind shifts from fixating on everything you wish you were, to every good thing you've already been given. Listen to me dear one, I am not done with you. Your anxious mind wants to try and figure out a way through, it wants to bring control to what feels out of control. I'm inviting you to embrace your lack of control. I'm inviting you to the shelter I long to provide for you, my peace. It is a peace that will shock and amaze those around you; it surpasses and transcends what the world can understand. My peace is a guard for the deepest recesses of your heart and mind. Embrace it, even when it feels impossible to make sense (Philippians 4:6-7). I am a caregiver by nature - a nurturer of the broken, the gentle hand that restores. You are bent - I won't break you. Your spark smolders - I will not snuff you out. I will walk alongside, at the pace you can bear, because you are what I'm after (Matthew 12:20). You worry about so many things. I need you to know I see the constant whirlpool of shame, blame, guilt, and inadequacy. Do you still not know me? Do you not know I see what no one else sees? I look past the outside of the cup to what is within. I look past the frenetic. I look past your sense of inferiority. I look past all of what occupies your mind to the part of you that, like a child, looks for an Abba, a Daddy. I see your heart, and I like what I see (1 Samuel 16:7). There are a few things I need you to know. The waters will rise, yet I am still with you. You may feel as though the raging river will sweep you away, but I will not allow it to take you. You may walk through red hot coals in this life - I will keep you from being burned. You will not be set afire. I am with you (Isaiah 43:3). Don't you know my name? I'm the “Warrior Hearted One.” I have a fierce love for those I love. I know fighting, and I am on your side. Let me take up your cause, you can relax in me. I am your salvation. Can I tell you a deep secret? One I wrote long ago? Lean in close, let me whisper my truth to your deepest longing. “I take great delight in you.” I see you, and I delight in YOU. I know, the enemy has filled your mind with lies and half-truths, but I know nothing of them because I did not create them. They are a horrible fiction that has hidden my truth. You are my treasure, my love. My child, I long to sing over you in joy! (Zephaniah 3:17) I know it feels like there are so many things to fix, so many things to worry about, so many things that if you don't engage them will fall off the face of this earth. This is not my truth. My truth is that I can take care of it. For fun I spend my days dressing the flowers, feeding the birds, capping the mountains with white, and stirring the oceans. How much more do you think you are worth to me? Stop, don't answer that. I already have. You are worth everything, my very life - put on the line to bring you back into my presence (Matthew 6:25-34, John 3:16), and, get this, I did all that while you were at your absolute worst (Romans 5:8). So, what makes you think I can't handle what you feel you are now? Let me close with this. Hard days are in front of you - unimaginable pain, inscrutable distress. Don't lose heart, my dear one. I am the overcomer. I've overcome the stronghold of sin. I've overcome your dead heart and shocked it back to life. I've overcome the greatest enemy of all: death (John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57). So, when I say this, believe it. I have a special book, a journal of sorts. In it I record the names of those who are mine. It is my “family reunion” list, and dear one, you are on it. I will have special compassion on you because you are my special child whom I love dearly. Rest in that (Malachi 3:16-17). With deep love, Your Abba (Daddy) [Need to have printed versions of the letter for people to grab on their way out] I want to give this letter to you as a gift to you in order to give you a practical way to slow down when you are in the midst of an anxious moment. Maybe you are going into an environment that always seems to trigger your anxiety, take 5 minutes and read this letter before. Keep it in your car or your wallet or somewhere you can read it each day. If you feel anxiety coming on, go back to the letter and read it, let it grab your heart and allow God to bring healing and His peace.

Study Guide Bava Batra 149 What language must be used for a gift stated on one's deathbed to be valid? If one sells all of one's property on one's deathbed, is it a valid sale if one recovers from one's illness? If one admits on one's deathbed that one owes money, do we believe the admission or is it possible the person is lying and just wants to show they don’t have a lot of money? A story is brought with Issur the convert and how he was able to use this (an admission) as a solution to passing on his money that was in Rava’s possession (as Rava was watching it for him) to his son, who was conceived before his conversion and therefore was unable to inherit the money. The Mishna says the gift is valid if one divides up one's possessions on one's deathbed but leaves over land of any amount, and then recovers. Rav Yehuda says in the name of Rav that "any amount" actually means an amount worthy of sustaining him/her. Rav Yirmiya bar Abba says that even if one leaves movable items worthy of sustaining the person. Rav Zeira supports their opinions and Rav Yosef questions them based on the wording in the Mishna ("land" and "any amount"). Abaye supports Rabbi Zeira from a Mishna in Peah where land includes movable items.

During the early years of Syria's brutal civil war, one neighbourhood close to the Syrian capital, Damascus, bore the brunt of the government's viciousness. During 2013-14, some 18,000 residents of Yarmouk, an area originally set up as a camp for Palestinian refugees, were continually subjected to bombardments from the air, or were shot at by army snipers or hit by mortar-fire. No one was allowed in or out of Yarmouk and many people came close to starvation – surviving only by eating grass, or dead animals. Palestinian musician, Aeham Ahmad, lived in Yarmouk with his family. Known as ‘the Pianist of Yarmouk,' Aeham tells Mike Lanchin about their struggle to survive the siege, and how music helped him overcome some of those dark days.
