Katharine Hepburn may have been CT's most famous resident. She still holds the record for the most Oscars for acting, with four. Her career survived the so-called “poison box office letter” and her feisty on-screen persona competed with her romantic engagements with Howard Hughes and Spencer Tracy for attention. Her years in this state, as a born-and-bred CT native, include a harrowing escape during the Hurricane of '38. The story is mesmerizing, as told by the Coordinator of Old Saybrook's Katharine Hepburn Museum, Elise Maragliano

PARENTING COORDINATOR'S ROLE IN RESOLVING CUSTODY CONFLICTSHOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Jaime Davis, Co-Managing Partner at Gailor Hunt and Host of A Year and a Day: Divorce without Destruction SUMMARY:A parenting coordinator plays a crucial role in helping divorcing parents navigate the often tumultuous terrain of co-parenting after a divorce. Their primary objective is to assist in making decisions related to child custody, visitation, and other parenting matters in an amicable and child-focused manner. They act as neutral third-party facilitators, using their expertise in family law and child development to help parents reach mutually beneficial agreements. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Jaime Davis, a Co-Managing Partner at Gailor Hunt and Host of A Year and a Day: Divorce without Destruction. Together, they discuss parenting coordinators, who they are, and their role in fostering a more collaborative and harmonious co-parenting relationship to create a stable and supportive environment for children's growth and well-being.KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Who is a parenting coordinator, and what role do they play in family law cases? A parenting coordinator is a neutral third party who has received training to become a parenting coordinator. In high cases involving the custody of children, the court can appoint a parenting coordinator to assist the parents in making decisions for their kids. ● The different areas of authority that a parenting coordinator can help with can range from pick-up time for the child, health care management, and communication between parents and children. However, their scope of authority can vary from case to case.● What is the difference between a parenting coordinator and a parenting coach? A parent coordinator's decision is usually like a binding court order. So if a parenting coordinator issues a directive and one of the parents does not follow it, the other parent can ask for a baby holding contempt for violating the directive. A parenting coach is more focused on getting the parents to work together and facilitating communication.● Do parenting coordinators take over all the decisions when the conflict is great and the parents are far apart? Each parent coordinator does it differently, but regardless of the level of acrimony, it is very important that the parents try to agree on the issues first, and when they can't the parent coordinator can step in and be the tiebreaker. NOTABLE QUOTES: ● When a couple is getting a divorce, decisions for the kids can be some of the things being disagreed about. In these types of cases, a parenting coordinator can be very helpful by being the tiebreaker when mum and dad disagree on a decision for the child. (Jaime)● One of the benefits of having a parent coordinator is that the children can have what they need in a more timely manner. (Jaime)● Your parenting coordinator is going to be making the decision when you and your partner disagree on things. It is almost like having a third parent in the relationship. (Jaime)● Part of the parent coordinator's job is to work themselves out of a job, getting parents to a place where they can make decisions without them and their children because they know what is best for their family. (Jaime)● At any time during a custody dispute, either parent can ask the court to appoint a parent coordinator, and the court

On this week's show, we'll be turning our focus towards the Solidarity Economy and what is meant by 'Resist & Build'.   Joining us for this conversation is Emily Kawano, Co-Director of the Wellspring Cooperative Corporation and Coordinator of the United States Solidarity Economy Network, Matthew Slaats, co-director of the Solidarity Research Center and the founder of the Virginia Solidarity Economy Network, and Edget Betru, an attorney who is on the boards of Community Movement Builders and the Organization for Human Rights and Democracy in Atlanta.   Together, we unpack what 'Resist & Build' looks like in practice, discuss the necessity of cross-movement dialogue and collaboration, and explore pathways for scaling up (and arguably, more importantly, scaling out) the solidarity economy.   Resources: Resist & Build US Solidarity Economy Network Virginia Solidarity Economy Network Community Movement Builders Organization for Human Rights and Democracy People's Network for Land and Liberation Wellspring Cooperative Corporation Solidarity Research Center Stop Cop City Solidarity The Response: Stop Cop City with Jesse Pratt López & Nolan Huber-Rhoades Episode credits: Produced and hosted by Tom Llewellyn Edited by Robert Raymond.

Anti-blackness has until recently been a taboo topic within Arab society. This began to change when Nader Kadhem, a prominent Arab and Muslim thinker from Bahrain, published the first in-depth investigation of anti-black racism in the Arab world in 2004. This translation of the new and revised edition of Kadhem's influential text brings the conversation to the English-speaking world. Al-Istifraq or Africanism, a term analogous to Orientalism, refers to the discursive elements of perceiving, imagining, and representing black people as a subject of study in Arabic writings. Kadhem explores the narratives of Africanism in the Arab imaginary from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century to show how racism toward black people is ingrained in the Arab world, offering a comprehensive account of the representations of blackness and black people in Arab cultural narratives - including the Quran, the hadith, and Arabic literature, geography, and history.  Africanism: Blacks in the Medieval Arab Imaginary (McGill-Queen's UP, 2023) examines the pejorative image of black people in Arab cultural discourse through three perspectives: the controversial anthropological concept that culture defines what it means to be human; the biblical narrative of Noah cursing his son Ham's descendants - understood to be darker-skinned - with servitude; and Greco-Roman physiognomy, philosophy, medicine, and geography. Describing the shifting standards of inclusion that have positioned Arab identity in opposition to blackness, Kadhem argues that in the cultural imaginary of the Arab world, black people are widely conflated with the Other. Analyzing canonical Arabic texts through the lens of English, French, and German theory, Africanism traces the history of racism in Arab culture. Africanism digs deep into the cultural constructions of blacks in all aspects of the Arab imaginary, including language, religion, philosophy, literature, geography, and history. Author: Nader Kadhem is a professor emeritus of cultural studies at the University of Bahrain. Kadhim authored many literature and cultural criticism articles and studies published in Bahraini Arabic media. He has published 16 books that can be found here. Translator: Amir Al-Azraki is an Arab-Canadian playwright, literary translator, Theatre of the Oppressed practitioner, Associate Professor, and Coordinator of the Studies in Islamic and Arab Cultures Program, Renison University College, University of Waterloo. His research interests include Arab Theatre, Afro-Arab Cultural Heritage and Representation, and Literary Translation (Arabic-English) Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University. His research focuses on the intersection of law, the occult sciences, and the environment across the Western Indian Ocean. He can be reached by email at almaazmi@princeton.edu or on X @Ahmed_Yaqoub.

Special Interview Episode: Barry Bubolz, NRCS GLRI Coordinator

Tore returns to lead the group analysis of today's hottest topics starting with the paid for news and all their lies. Stories are shaped by external incentives. Pizzagate is back but people don't like the truth. Look who's on our side and who isn't. There are big stories and a lot happening. Blockchain tech and China. Half truths and honey traps. The love hate line is hard to manage. Seek all information and then trust your gut. How to see what's real and what's not. Those who deceive always crave power. It's sad when people get stepped on. Rules of thumbs to use with influencers. Social credit banking is already here. Commercials prove that news is bought. When you are open to truth, you can see everything. There's a good paper trail on the Blackrock scandal. The DeSantis video that just dropped. Early warning services and games played. Being the most impatient patient person. It's important that we learn how to think again. Things will now get worse, because we are winning. There will be lots of difficult future conversations. Ohio jobs data and the WEF. The latest terror false flag. Now is the time that our faith will be tested. When something needs to truly get done, it does. That's how God works.

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by 3Strands Global Foundation.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.Human trafficking, an abhorrent crime, has infiltrated all 50 states, even our schools, where students are at risk. The post-pandemic era witnessed a surge in the distribution of child sexual abuse material, exploitation, and human trafficking, necessitating our immediate attention. Schools, traditionally safe havens for children, are best suited to combat this issue through prevention education.In the past year, 13 states mandated training for school staff and awareness education for students on human trafficking.

You may have heard, Penn State is in the market for an offensive coordinator. But, the most important coordinator to this team in 2024 is one that already is on the sidelines.On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, hosts Donnie Collins (The Scranton Times-Tribune) and Sam Fremin (Citizens Voice) discuss both the contributions of defensive coordinator Manny Diaz over his two seasons with the program, and what keeping him around would mean for the future.Do either think Diaz would consider leaving Penn State to take another defensive coordinator's job somewhere else? On the Thanksgiving edition of the podcast, Donnie and Sam also discuss the quarterback situation, where Beau Pribula's running ability added a different dimension to the offense once starter Drew Allar left the Rutgers game with an injury last Saturday. They discuss whether a case could be made that Penn State should go with a two-quarterback system, or whether sticking it out with Allar is the best way to go for the future.Plus, what is Sam's favorite Thanksgiving meal? Since James Franklin never asked, it's time to get that information out there.To contact Donnie, drop an email at dcollins@scrantontimes.com, or send him a message on Twitter @PennStateTT.Listen and subscribe on Apple podcastsListen and subscribe on Google podcastsListen and subscribe on Spotify

Stephen Jackson fell hard for Africa three decades ago, and never looked back. Now the UN Resident Coordinator in Kenya, he channels his passion into his work, bringing together UN agencies to support the continent in its drive for sustainable development.  “Sometimes in this job, you just end up falling in love with the country where you work. Kenya is a very special place, and I think is a country on an extraordinary upwards curve, a very rapid one. You meet incredibly inspiring people here, and I love it to bits.” Africa is a continent set on rapid development, with many observers pointing to Kenya's maturing democracy and green transition as a model for other nations. In this episode, Stephen Jackson reflects on Africa's fascinating diversity, as well as its invigorating self-confidence, resilience and ambition.

Coordinator's Corner: Andy Ludwig previews the plan of attack offensively against Arizona

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST PRESENTS Sharon Jackson was born on April 15, 1966. She is the last of six children born to Pastor Andrew and the late Lady Lottie Jackson. She has been singing for as long as she can remember. As a child she would sing with her brothers and sisters at church, as well as at home around the kitchen table. Music has always been a part of her family. She came to realize at an early age that God had anointed her to sing praises unto Him. She graduated from Memphis Central High School in 1984 and went on to attend Emory University in Atlanta, GA. However, as a junior, she transferred to University of Memphis where she received her B.A. in Psychology. Sharon began leading Praise and Worship in 1986 at Faith Temple Ministries Church in Memphis, TN where her father, Andrew Jackson, is the founder and Pastor Emeritus, and her brother, Ivory Jackson is the current pastor. She has found that worship is a lifestyle that one must live out daily, being fully aware that God is ever present and ever near. The Lord has truly anointed her to lead His people into His presence, and she counts it a privilege, as well as an awesome responsibility to have been chosen by God to do so. She served as the coordinator and worship leader for the Praise and Worship Team at her church for 25 years and she also served as the choir director and trainer. For the last 12 years, Sharon has been serving as the Minister of Music at Greater Community COGIC in Marietta, GA where the pastor is Bishop Matthew Brown. She served for 16 years, from 2000-2016, 8 years as the Assistant Coordinator, and 8 years as the Coordinator of the Church of God in Christ International Praise Team “Send Judah First” under the leadership of the International Music Department Ministers of Music, Professor Iris Stevenson McCullough and Dr. Judith Christie McAllister. Sharon was blessed to record a Live Praise and Worship CD in September of 2004 entitled “Make His Praise Glorious.” She has also had the privilege of singing on several recordings, including Judith Christie McAllister's “Sound The Trumpet,” as well as the Tennessee Fourth Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Mass Choir where she led the title track “When I Get There” written by the legendary V. Michael McKay, which she was also blessed and honored to sing at the National Homegoing Celebration of former COGIC Presiding Bishop G. E. Patterson. She was also blessed to sing on the recording project of Pastor Linwood Dillard and the Voices of Citadel. She is currently working on a new project hopefully to be released in early 2024. Sharon is the proud mother of two beautiful daughters, Brittany Elizabeth and Sophia Antonette. Her desire is to, in all things and at all times, make the praises of God glorious.

This is the web version of Foreign Exchanges, but did you know you can get it delivered right to your inbox? Sign up today:Friends, for family reasons and also because of my own mental exhaustion I will be taking a longer than usual break from the newsletter for this year's Thanksgiving holiday. The newsletter will be going quiet following Thursday's roundup and will return to our regular schedule on Tuesday, November 28. As I've written before here I can always tell when it's time for me to take a bit of a break from the newsletter and the truth is we probably passed that point around three or four weeks ago so I'm running on fumes. Thanks for reading and for supporting this venture!TODAY IN HISTORYNovember 14, 1965: The Battle of Ia Drang, the first major engagement between the United States and the North Vietnamese Army, begins.

Without any serious government pressure to force them to invest in genuinely renewable technologies, these firms are able to do things like, say, classify natural gas development as a “green” investment. That's absurd, of course, but who's counting?The main problem with these plans has long been, and continues to be, the fact that fossil fuel companies exempt the products they sell when assessing their progress toward “net zero” carbon emissions. Firms only account for “Scope 1” emissions, which are their direct carbon outputs, and “Scope 2” emissions, the indirect output that results from their production process. The emissions that ensue when people burn the products they sell are considered “Scope 3” and energy firms disavow any responsibility for them. Like tobacco companies, they argue that what the customer does with their products is the customer's business, not theirs. Maybe people just want to buy a barrel of oil and place it in their foyer as a conversation piece or put it to some other use that doesn't emit carbon. Who's to say?MIDDLE EASTISRAEL-PALESTINEEarly Wednesday morning Israeli forces began what they called “a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa hospital” involving “medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians.” There are hundreds of patients and thousands of other people who have been trapped in the hospital by the IDF and the chances that “no harm” will come to any of them in the next several hours are probably slim. Israeli officials have been insisting that Hamas's lair is located underneath the hospital but at this point it's too soon to know if that's the target or if this is a more limited operation. This is a developing story so there's not much more I can say about it at this time.What I can say is that the Biden administration gave a green light to this operation earlier in the day, when White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the administration has “independent intelligence” (which is code for “we didn't get this from the IDF”) that “Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip — including Al-Shifa — and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages.” According to Kirby this intelligence shows that the militant groups have a “command and control” center in Shifa and “have stored weapons there.” Kirby insisted that that the administration was not endorsing an Israeli attack on the hospital, but anybody with ears to hear or eyes to read what he said should have no doubt as to what the intent was.I wrote everything below prior to news of the Israeli assault breaking so some of it might no longer be relevant but I think most of it still is:Gazan health authorities said on Tuesday that some 40 patients at Shifa—three of them babies—have died since that facility ran out of generator fuel on Saturday. Without electricity the hospital cannot maintain its incubator units and so there are now 36 newborns who are at critical risk. With the IDF surrounding the hospital it's also become impossible to transfer the dead to a cemetery, so personnel are planning to bury some 120 bodies in a mass grave on site. Gazan officials have proposed evacuating the facility under the auspices of the Red Cross/Red Crescent and sending its remaining patients to Egypt but there had been no movement on that front at time of writing. The Israeli government has apparently offered to send the hospitals more incubators, a fascinating attempt at a humanitarian gesture that would be completely pointless because the problem isn't the incubators, it's the electricity.In other news:* David Ignatius at The Washington Post reported (I use that term loosely) on Monday that “Israel and Hamas are close to a hostage deal.” With the caveat that if David Ignatius told me the sky was blue I'd glance out the window to double check, the terms he reported are that Hamas would release (or facilitate the release) of the women and children that it and other Gazan militant groups took hostage during their October 7 rampage through southern Israel. This would be done in stages and be matched by the release of Palestinian women and children being held by Israeli authorities. It would also involve a ceasefire of unspecified duration but “perhaps five days” according to Ignatius. The ceasefire could allow some time to address humanitarian issues in Gaza though I don't know what that would entail and whatever it was would almost certainly be inadequate.* Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger on Tuesday and later told reporters that the ICRC has had no access to the aforementioned hostages. It's highly unlikely that the Israelis would agree to anything involving hostages without at least proof of life, so this could be a big sticking point with respect to the potential prisoner deal outlined above. Families of the hostages, meanwhile, are marching from Tel Aviv to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem to pressure him to take some action to secure the hostages' release.* Israeli occupation forces killed at least eight Palestinians in the West Bank on Tuesday, seven of them in Tulkarm. The IDF carried out a drone strike in that city, an occurrence that's still relatively rare in the West Bank though it's certainly become more common over the past year and in particular the past month.* Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich issued a statement on Tuesday endorsing what he laughably termed the “voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world.” I guess “leave or die” is a choice, right? A couple of Israeli politicians floated this idea on Monday in a Wall Street Journal editorial that was less a serious proposal than a written middle finger to Western critics of the Israeli military campaign. That piece didn't go into extensive detail about what a mass relocation would look like—again, it wasn't meant as a serious proposal—but Smotrich's intent is much easier to guess, and that's the permanent ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the relocation of its population as far away from Israel as possible. Smotrich, whose ministerial brief also includes running the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories office, isn't part of Netanyahu's “war cabinet” but that doesn't mean he's completely lacking in influence.* The US and UK governments on Tuesday announced new sanctions targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members along with a Lebanese entity that allegedly facilitates money transfers from Iran to Gazan militant groups. This is the third round of sanctions the Biden administration has imposed since October 7. Also on Tuesday, over 400 employees of the Biden administration sent a joint letter to their boss, Joe Biden, expressing opposition to the administration's approach to the Gaza conflict.YEMENHouthi rebels say they fired another barrage of missiles toward Israel on Tuesday. There's no confirmation of this, though the IDF did say that its air defenses downed a single missile near Eilat that we can probably assume was of Houthi provenance. The leader of Yemen's Houthi movement, Abdulmalik al-Houthi, delivered a speech on Tuesday pledging that his rebel fighters would continue attacking Israel. In particular, Houthi suggested that they could target Israeli commercial vessels in the Red Sea, which would certainly be an easier target for them than Israel itself.IRAQA Turkish drone strike killed two people, both allegedly members of the Sinjar Resistance Units militia, in northern Iraq's Nineveh province on Monday evening. The Sinjar militia was formed in 2014 with assistance from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and is still allied with that group, which makes its personnel potential targets for the Turkish military.Elsewhere, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court removed two members of the Iraqi parliament on Tuesday, one of whom just happened to be speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi. It's not clear why, though another MP named Laith al-Dulaimi had reportedly sued Halbusi alleging that the speaker forged Dulaimi's name on a resignation letter. Dulaimi was, as it happens, the other MP who had his term ended by the court (I assume that's not a coincidence). The ruling created a potential political crisis for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaʿ al-Sudani. As speaker, Halbusi was Iraq's leading Sunni Arab politician, and his support was important to Sudani's government. Three members of his Progress Party quit their cabinet posts after the court ruling and it remains to be seen how that will impact Sudani's position.ASIAAFGHANISTANAfghan Commerce Minister Haji Nooruddin Azizi apparently visited Pakistan this week, where—according to the Afghan government—he pressed Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani on the issue of all those Afghan migrants the Pakistani government is presently deporting. Specifically it sounds like Azizi raised the issue of allowing deportees to at least take some of their money and/or possessions to Afghanistan with them. Deportees are currently arriving with nothing and are being housed in what are effectively refugee camps—leaving aside the incongruity of being a “refugee” in one's home country—on the Afghan side of the border.MYANMARReports on Monday only hinted at some new fighting in western Myanmar's Chin state, but as more details are emerging the situation there sounds pretty serious. According to the Chin National Front, rebel fighters had by the end of the day seized two Myanmar military outposts and were working to seize control of the Myanmar-Indian border. According to Indian media the fighting has sent some 2000 people streaming across that border to escape. In neighboring Rakhine state, the rebel Arakan Army has also been seizing military outposts and authorities have imposed a curfew in the state capital, Sittwe, as a result. Rebel factions across Myanmar have launched new offensives in recent weeks, starting with the “1027” (for October 27) operations by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army in Shan state. Myanmar's ruling junta is clearly struggling to mount a response.CHINAJoe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that his main goal in meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco this week is to restore “normal” communications between their governments. In particular this would involve a return to regular military-to-military contacts, something Beijing ended in the wake of former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year. Any prospect of resuming those contacts was complicated by the fact that former Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu was under US sanction. But as he's no longer defense minister that complication is no longer an issue.AFRICALIBERIALiberian voters turned out on Tuesday for the second round of that country's presidential election, pitting incumbent George Weah against Joseph Boakai. Both candidates finished with just under 44 percent of the vote in last month's first round. Such a close finish might augur poorly for the incumbent in a head to head matchup, though that's just one of many factors that could sway this vote in either direction. Polls have closed in that contest but I have yet to see anything by way of preliminary or partial results.MALIMali's ruling junta says its security forces have seized control over the northern town of Kidal after battling with rebels in that region for several days. The Malian military and mercenary auxiliaries marched on Kidal after United Nations peacekeepers vacated the region as part of their ongoing withdrawal from Mali. Kidal has been a rebel stronghold since the initial northern Mali uprising in 2012 and government control there has been nebulous at best since then. There's been no comment as far as I know from the rebels and it's unclear what their disposition is at this point.ETHIOPIAAccording to Addis Standard, Fano militia fighters attacked a predominantly Oromo community in Ethiopia's Amhara region last week, killing at least 25 people and displacing some 3000 into the Oromia region. The Fano militia is still battling the Ethiopian government but Amhara paramilitary groups have also made a pastime of preying on ethnic Oromo communities (likewise, Oromo militias have preyed on ethnic Amhara). In this case they apparently demanded grain from the community and attacked after residents refused to comply.On a more upbeat note, the US Agency for International Development is reportedly planning to resume food distribution across Ethiopia next month under a “one-year trial period.” The agency suspended its Ethiopian food program earlier this year amid allegations that the aid was being diverted. It resumed providing food aid to Ethiopian refugees last month and is now planning to spend the next year testing whether procedural changes adopted by aid groups and
