Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. Her life story is one marked by profound trauma, resilience, and an inspiring quest to build a life of hope. From a childhood shadowed by abuse to a series of harrowing experiences in adulthood, her journey has taken her across states, from California to Colorado, Wyoming, and finally settling in Montana. Through travel, reflection, and a commitment to healing, Colleen "Co Co" Issa has faced the lingering effects of PTSD head-on, sharing her recovery process openly on platforms like the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", which is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. A Childhood of Trauma Colleen stated that her early years were defined by a father who was both physically and sexually abusive, a pedophile whose actions left deep scars. She recalls reporting this to a therapist later in life, only to learn that too much time had passed for legal action. The trauma didn’t end with her; her sister, also a victim of this violence, struggled with alcoholism and fatal illnesses worsened by her pain, ultimately taking her own life on January 26, 2024. For Colleen, confirmation of her worst memories came during a conversation with her sibling, a revelation that cemented the shared horror of their past. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. At 15, Colleen fled this toxic environment, but the world beyond offered little reprieve. Life grew tougher as she faced further assaults: a rape by a girlfriend’s boyfriend, which she never officially reported, and another at 21, outside in the bitter winter cold. Passersby saw the latter attack but drove on, leaving her alone. The perpetrator was later arrested and charged with third-degree sexual assault, a resolution that felt inadequate for the suffering endured. Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. The Toll of Trauma and the Seeds of Hope Colleen’s experiences reflect a grim reality faced by many survivors of interpersonal violence. Studies reveal that 6% of American youth experience sexual victimization annually, with rates soaring to 16% for adolescents aged 14-17 in the past year and 28% over their lifetimes. Girls, in particular, bear a heavier burden, with lifetime prevalence rates of sexual assault reaching 17% for those aged 14-17, compared to 4% for boys. These statistics underscore the pervasive nature of such trauma, and its lasting echo in conditions like PTSD. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. For Colleen, the death of her sister became a turning point. Grieving and determined to reclaim her life, she embarked on a journey of travel and relocation. From California to Colorado, then Wyoming, she sought a place to heal, eventually finding solace in Montana. The physical journey mirrored an emotional one: building a life of hope after trauma is no small feat, but Colleen embraced the challenge. Understanding PTSD and Recovery Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a frequent companion for survivors of sexual assault, with prevalence rates far exceeding the national average. Symptoms, intrusive memories, avoidance, negative shifts in mood, and heightened arousal, can emerge months or even years after the event, disrupting daily life. Colleen has lived these realities: unwanted flashbacks, emotional numbness, and the struggle to feel safe. Yet, her story is also one of recovery, fueled by a desire to move beyond survival into thriving. Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Research highlights the complexity of PTSD after sexual assault. A dysregulated Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis can drive symptoms, while societal factors like victim-blaming and rape myths exacerbate the pain. Effective recovery, experts note, hinges on early social support and a holistic approach, biological, psychological, and sociological. Colleen’s openness about her journey reflects this, as she leans on community, education, and personal strength to navigate her healing. Sharing the Journey Colleen’s candidness shines in her appearance on the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast". Hosted by John "Jay" Wiley, the episode, available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and promoted via Facebook, Instagram and other social media delves into her past, her travels, and her hopes for the future.

It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Montana, with its vast skies and quiet expanses, has become her haven. Building a life of hope after trauma isn’t linear, but Colleen’s travels, from California to Colorado to Montana, symbolize a refusal to let her past define her. Through her story, she invites others to confront their pain, seek support, and imagine a future where healing is possible. Building A Life of Hope, After Trauma. Her Travels and Journey.

Editor's note: This story includes a racial slur.I'm often asked about my favorite stories I've covered as a reporter. That's a hard question to answer after spending 35 years working in journalism, most of them as a local television reporter.Rarely does anyone ask about my hardest moments. That question brings to mind a very vivid memory. In December 2015, I stood in the middle of Plymouth Avenue in north Minneapolis facing the Minneapolis Police Department's 4th Precinct building, watching angry officers and defiant community members clash.Days earlier, police had shot and killed Jamar Clark, a 24-year-old Black man, during a confrontation. Community members wanted answers. Protesters blockaded the entrance to the 4th Precinct and the street outside.In front of me stood armed officers in riot helmets telling the crowd to disperse, and protesters screaming back and holding their ground. I saw the handcuffs come out and arrests happen. Police pulled down a “Black Lives Matter” banner from the building as they cleared out a spreading encampment. I could feel the distrust and rage between the mostly Black residents and mostly white officers.The shooting and its aftermath pushed Minnesota to the center of a painful national debate over police, people of color and deadly force. Months later, the Twin Cities would be torn again by another police shooting of a Black man, Philando Castile. In 2020 came George Floyd, killed by a Minneapolis police officer as he lay handcuffed and face down in the street, pleading that he couldn't breathe.‘You want me to go where? With who?'Nine years after witnessing the battle for the 4th Precinct, I got a message from a manager at MPR News, where I host a morning talk show. The bosses wanted me to travel to Montgomery, Ala., a city at the center of the slave trade and the Civil Rights Movement, with a contingent that included 4th Precinct officers. Reading the message, remembering what I witnessed in 2015 and the department's history of dysfunction and accusations of violence, I thought, “You want me to go where? With who? Why?” Turns out there was a good reason for the ask. Emerging from the killings of Clark and Castile, a small group, the Police and Black Men Project, had formed to talk about the roots of their distrust. They included Minneapolis police officers, Black and white, along with Black community members, leaders of nonprofits, government agencies and private businesses. Some were once incarcerated. All have strong opinions about law enforcement. Group members have met regularly the past eight years.They went to Montgomery in 2023 to tour museums and historical sites. They wanted to do something bigger in 2024, to go back to Alabama with a larger group and wider audience. They called MPR News.Nine years after Jamar Clark's killing, I was called again to witness police and Black men but in a very different way.We were invited to go along in December and record the group's private discussions as they processed what they had seen and heard at each of the tour stops. Our team included editor and producer Stephen Smith and freelance photographer Desmon Williams, who goes by “Dolo.”In their conversations, this group explored a significant part of American history, one many people still struggle to discuss and understand or even acknowledge.400 years of racial terror: Inside The Legacy MuseumWe arrived in Montgomery on a Tuesday afternoon after flying from Minneapolis to Atlanta and then renting SUVs for the two-hour drive. The weather was terrible. Torrential rain and dangerous driving conditions. I wondered if it was some sort of sign of what's to come. We gathered with the group — all men — for dinner, the first of many meals these men would share. I discovered some of them have known each other for years and others are still getting to know each other.  The next morning, the officers and community members filed out of a hotel in downtown Montgomery, all dressed the same — hooded sweatshirts with artwork on the back and the words “Black Men and Police Project” and “Peace” and “Alabama 2024.” On the back, there's an image of a handshake between a black and a white hand with the downtown Minneapolis skyline in the background.The design was created by teenagers in a life-skills mentoring program run by group member Jamil Jackson. It's called Change Equals Opportunity. Jackson is also head basketball coach at Minneapolis Camden High School and one of the founders of Freedom Fighters, which focuses on public safety.Throughout the next few days these sweatshirts would turn heads. Passersby would ask them questions about the Police and Black Men Project as the group walked down the street and waited in lines at restaurants and museums.On this day, our first stop is The Legacy Museum. This is a place to learn about 400 years of American history involving slavery, racial terrorism, legalized segregation and mass incarceration in a way that pulls you into the past. The museum sits on the site of a cotton warehouse where enslaved Black people were forced to work when the cotton economy drove American slavery. I can't bring my microphone in for what seems to me an excellent reason — to respect the solemnity of a museum dedicated to the memory of a national atrocity.Organized evilMoments after stepping into the first area of the exhibit space, you find yourself in darkness, standing in what looks, feels and sounds like the bottom of the ocean. You're introduced to the terrifying expanse of the Atlantic Ocean that more than 13 million Africans were forced to cross in slave ships. Nearly 2 million of them died in this Middle Passage.You're surrounded by underwater sculptures of human bodies, looking at what appears to be the heads, shoulders and arms of enslaved Africans who died after being chained together and then forced onto ships during the transatlantic slave trade. Many of them died from illnesses on the ships due to the horrific conditions. Their bodies were thrown in the ocean. The facial expressions portray horror and despair. As you look at them or try not to, you're hearing the sounds of waves.Later in the day in small group discussions, I listened to the officers and community members discuss what it was like to walk through this display. Several described the experience of feeling shook to the core as they took in this particular scene at the start of the tour. George Warzinik, a sergeant in the Minneapolis 4th Precinct, said later he was shocked by the organized evil of lynching.“My image was always this mob stormed the police station or something, the officers are overwhelmed or whatever, looked away. But there was a headline that said there's a lynching scheduled for tomorrow at 5 o'clock. This is cold calculated. This is, it's booked, it's scheduled, and the governor said he couldn't do anything about it. The governor!” said Warzinik.“We're not talking about the local police guy down there with two, two deputies who's overwhelmed. So, the kind of organizational part of it, you know, that's just really struck me.”As we continue to walk through the exhibit spaces, we move into a section about mass incarceration. You can sit down on a stool and pick up a phone and watch a video that depicts a prisoner welcoming your visit. Each person tells you about the conditions inside the prison and declares their innocence in a crime that landed them behind bars. These are stories told by real incarcerated people.It was after sitting through these video testimonials that I needed a break and went and sat in the women's restroom for a few minutes.‘Not a glimmer of hope'Later in the museum cafeteria filled with students, we met for lunch over delicious soul food to talk about what we've seen. Moving into small groups in a private room, I heard the men share their thoughts about what they'd seen.Like Warzinik, group leader Bill Doherty was struck by the banal efficiency of enslaving and terrorizing people. A retired University of Minnesota professor, his family foundation helped pay for the trip in 2024.“One of the things I got this time is that it takes organization and big systems to do this kind of evil. It's not just in the hearts of individuals,” he said. “I never knew how much the banking system was involved in, in slavery and the slave trade, but slaves were collateral for loans. So the banks were supporting the system by saying, ‘Yeah, you got 12 slaves. I'll lend you this money.' Oh my goodness,” he said.Sherman Patterson, vice president of a Minneapolis nonprofit called Lights On!, noted a quote on the wall about the loss of hope: “I was taught that there was hope after the grave. I lost all hope after I was sold to the South.”“Just think about that, what that's saying,” said Patterson. “That's just, not a glimmer of hope. That's just pure hell. And then the woman who was raped several times and had the kid by her master and she defended herself and killed him and then the justice system said you have no right to defend yourself,” said Patterson, one of the elders in this group.“I grew up in Savannah, Georgia,” he added. “I grew up in true segregation as a kid up until 1975 and saw those things. My grandmother was born in 1919 and sitting on a porch watching her be calling the nigger and all of this here. We could not go downtown in certain places because we were taught you can't, you better not, and this is what you do. So there is anger, but being with this group, this is why we're here. There's hope. There is hope and we're moving forward.”We stop next at the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. It's a 17-acre site overlooking the Alabama River and the city of Montgomery. On this river, tens of thousands of enslaved people were transported in chains to the slave market. Many, many thousands toiled in fields and factories up and down the Alabama River. And Montgomery was one of the largest slave-trading centers in the United States.‘One heart, and it bleeds the same color'On Day 2, we went to First Baptist Church on the edge of downtown Montgomery. It's a handsome red brick building with a bell tower and a large, round stained glass window. First Baptist was founded in 1867. It is one of the first Black churches in the Montgomery area and became one of the largest Black churches in the South. It played a huge role in the Civil Rights Movement. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, a close friend and associate of Martin Luther King Jr., was pastor.In the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and 1956, First Baptist was a community organizing center. During the Freedom Rides of 1961, this church was besieged for a time by a huge white mob threatening to burn it down.I'd been looking forward to this visit. I grew up in Black Baptist churches in rural communities in southern Virginia. My grandparents raised me, and my grandfather was the pastor of several churches when I was a child. We were greeted in the parking lot by an older Black man, Deacon Emeritus Howard Davis, who reminded me of my grandfather. Davis, 81, was baptized at the church and spent his entire life there as an active member and leader. He greeted each of the men in the group with a smile and a handshake. He shared a bit of the history of the church and the role the building and the people who sat inside it played during the Civil Rights Movement.He described how his family taught him to stay away from white people, particularly white women and girls, and how to this day white women make him nervous. He understands the flip side of that and how white children were told to stay away from Black people and fear them, and how that affects how many of them view Black people today.He also spoke of the modern day challenges that Black people face. He took questions from men in the group and didn't hesitate to shake his head at times and admit he didn't have the answer. At one point one of the group members asked him to pray for them, and he did.Our next stop was Montgomery's former Greyhound Bus Station, now the Freedom Rides Museum. In 1961, teams of volunteers from the North and South challenged the Jim Crow practice of racially-segregated travel on buses and trains in the South. The Freedom Riders were mostly young people, Black and white. They were arrested for violating state and local segregation laws by riding together and ignoring the segregated seating. Local police in many southern towns let the Ku Klux Klan and other mobs attack them.Here, I recorded audio of an interview with community member Brantley Johnson. He reflected on what he saw and how he felt about going on this trip. Johnson said he ran with a gang in Minneapolis and ended up in prison. “When I got out, I promised my kids that I would never leave them again.” He's been part of regular meetings around the 4th Precinct and has been trying to work on ways to build trust between police officers and residents.“We have to meet them at their hardest moments, just like they have to meet us at our hardest moments,” he said of the police. “Because at the end of the day, we all have one heart, and it bleeds the same color, no matter what.”Later, we head to the Rosa Parks Museum on the campus of Troy University. Parks played a pivotal role in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. She refused to give up her seat in the so-called “colored section” so that a white woman could have it. Parks was arrested for violating the local bus segregation law. In response, Montgomery's Black community boycotted the bus system for more than a year. The protest brought King, then a local pastor, to national prominence and led eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court declaring bus segregation unconstitutional.Our last two stops on this trip are a walking tour of downtown Montgomery and then the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It's a profoundly moving 6-acre site in downtown Montgomery. Out of respect for the solemnity of this space, we've been asked not to record audio during the visit. The group splits into smaller groups and scatters in different directions. I follow a group up a hill to what's known as the lynching memorial. I've been there before. A year ago while attending a conference in Birmingham, my husband and I drove to Montgomery to visit The Legacy Museum and the memorial.  I found a monument with the name of a city very close to where I grew up, Danville, Va. The first name on the monument was of a man whose last name was Davis and I took a picture of it. Edward Davis, 11.03.1883. That's when he was lynched. I wonder if we're related.Courage to say ‘No'We return to Minneapolis, where the temperature is in single digits, a little colder than the 50s in Alabama.Not only is the weather different, the men appear different than they were when we gathered at the gate to board our flight days earlier.  That morning they were relaxed, even joking around with one another. Now the mood is more somber and the facial expressions appear to be more reflective. I sense a new confidence in them. To me they look like they are ready to approach future interactions with more knowledge and understanding, more empathy.At different points of the trip, many of the men said they were surprised by how much of the history of this country is not taught in schools. Some seemed troubled by how much they didn't know.The group disperses at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. I can tell everyone's eager to go home. I know I am. I want to be alone with my thoughts and there's a lot to think about.Like, how does one person change things? How does a small group bring change to a whole police department? How does a small group of community members bring change to a whole city?When I get home, I immediately start to unpack. Most of my souvenirs are clothes, including the navy blue T-shirt I bought at the Rosa Parks Museum. It has a small drawing of her face on the right sleeve and on the front there's one word followed by a period.It simply says “No.”Rosa Parks became famous for the moment in time when she'd had enough of racial segregation, injustice and violence. She said no. When I saw that shirt hanging on a wall in the museum gift shop I screamed “Yes!” I searched for my size and bought it.Back at home in St. Paul, I'm wondering why that shirt speaks to my heart in such a profound way? I think it's because it represents a response from a Black woman living at a time when America was at a breaking point. Much like I feel we are today. And the answer to the problem on that day on the bus for Rosa Parks, was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.It takes courage to say no when it's easier and safer to say yes.What I saw in each of the men I spent four days with in Montgomery was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.  Angela Davis' behind-the-scenes photos from Alabama Each brought curiosity to every site we visited. Each brought an understanding they have a lot to learn. Each sought a way to take something they learned in Montgomery back to Minneapolis and put it to work, taking law enforcement and community relations in a different direction.History has shown us where racial segregation and abuse of power lead. My question is this: What will you say when presented with circumstances that don't feel fair and equitable? What will you do when you are encouraged to go along to get along, even if those actions reinforce racism and division? Will you say “No”?Angela Davis hosts MPR News with Angela Davis, a weekday talk show that airs at 9 a.m. She's been a journalist for more than 30 years in the Twin Cities and across the country.

THE HALF-MAD CATIn the elementary school for household pets of all kinds, one of the most popular classes was that of the talking cats. There was a somewhat strange cat: he spoke in hops, wrote words backwards, numbers upside down, and often had his head in the clouds.Everyone said, "But that cat is half mad!"One spring morning, the cats had gotten up an hour earlier because the teacher, a very pretty, white and yellow kitten, was going to take the class to the park near the school to play and have a picnic. Everyone was very happy and couldn't wait to leave, dressed elegantly as usual: some with a colored bow on their head, some with a blue tie, and some with an orange scarf, but each with their own multicolored backpack.But if everyone was ready and happy to spend a different day outdoors, just imagine the Half-Mad Cat!He was at least three times and three quarters happier than the others. So happy that for the occasion he wore a bow and a half on his head, three ties around his neck, a rainbow scarf, and an umbrella on his wrist.Along the way between his house and the school, he did incredible acrobatics, walking on his hind legs and having fun doing somersaults: three forwards and one backward.Passersby stopped to watch him because he was funny and also a bit ridiculous. He was really curious and half mad, this cat!Before departure, the lovely teacher checked that everyone had what they needed: nothing was missing, not even great joy — which in the end was the most important thing."Ready, let's go!"In no time, the Half-Mad Cat was already on the road. Seeing a traffic cop passing by, the cat said to him:"Excuse me, Mr. Traffic Cop, we're in a hurry, could you lend me your tools to direct traffic?"The cop, chuckling under his mustache, played along and replied:"You seem nice, but be careful. I'll be watching you."With the whistle in his mouth and the baton in his paw, the cat began:"Stop! Right! Stop! Left! Turn here! Go there! Everyone do the roundabout!"In doing so, he had blocked all the traffic, and the traffic light was cracking up with laughter, flashing red, green, and yellow.Despite all this commotion, the school-kitten crossed the street, thanking the traffic light, Mr. Traffic Cop, and, of course, the Half-Mad Cat.In pairs, they entered the park along the tree-lined avenue. At the end was a little grey elephant making sure everyone kept pace and in line.Once they reached the central meadow and set down their backpacks, it was free rein for everyone who could now jump, run, and play on the grass.The little elephant kept an eye on everyone: "Careful, kittens! Don't get too close to the pond because if you fall in, I have to fish you out."But as if nothing happened, the cats chased each other, did somersaults, and had the time of their lives. The children played with them too, and some flew kites of different colors and shapes that everyone looked up at.In all this joyful celebration, the Half-Mad Cat, who often did as he pleased, decided to copy the children, opened his umbrella, and flew into the sky like a kite.A strong gust of wind made him flutter a bit to the right and a bit to the left. Suddenly, the umbrella closed, and the Half-Mad Cat landed precisely in the pond with all the kites."Splash! Splush! Splish! Splesh!" And endless meowing."Oh no! Help. Help. Help. Save the Half-Mad Cat!"Luckily, under the west bank of the pond was the famous Gorgonzola Bath, where the local mice went to sunbathe together. Alerted by this commotion, they immediately realized that a rescue was needed.There was no time to lose!Without hesitation, they dived into the pond and, helping each other, saved the Half-Mad Cat.The entire school let out a sigh of relief, while the mice, soaking wet but happy, began to joyfully hop around.The little elephant, who didn't even have to get wet, thanked the mice who were already playing hide and seek with the cats.And the Half-Mad Cat?Well, as if nothing had happened, he was drying off in the sun apart, watching the clouds in the sky that were smiling and dancing, winking at him.On that magical spring day, the picnic turned into a great adventure and, with full bellies, the cats walked back to school.The fact is that in every backpack, a mouse had snuck in, wanting to live with a cat, because by now they had all become friends.With the usual imagination and a pinch of magic, from then on, cats and mice loved each other very much and went to school together."One had never seen such a cheerful class," said the little elephant.And the Half-Mad Cat?After the dive into the pond, he no longer spoke in hops, and wrote words straight, but with his new mouse friends, he enjoyed coloring the blackboard with the chalkboard eraser.Mad, yes, but only halfway!

“God is still God,” declares Pastor Daryl Black of Grace Family Church in Tampa, Florida. Two weeks after 30-thousand people flooded their Easter service at Buc's stadium, they counted at least 947 men, women and children who walked into the ocean at Fort De Soto Beach to be baptized. "I baptized so many people that my back was hurtin' when I was done," he laughs. Passersby also responded to the message of salvation in Jesus. “This is crazy,” he says, people in the water, “they were floating by, going ‘what's happening here? Can we get baptized too?'” Monika Kelly reports. [Educational Media Foundation - All Rights Reserved]

He was dressed in a set of traditional Chinese clothing embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, looking like a character stepping out from an ancient scroll.Zh: 张三原本是个古玩修复师，这套华丽的古装只是他为了一个复古主题活动特意准备的。只是这天，他对一台破旧显得与他的衣着不相称的自行车发生了兴趣。En: Originally a restorer of antiques, the splendid ancient costume was specially prepared by Zhang San for a retro-themed event. However, on this day, he became interested in an old bicycle that seemed out of place with his attire.Zh: "我能骑你吗?"他轻轻地向自行车问道。尽管显得有些滑稽，但张三的眼中充满了对挑战的热情。自行车靠在墙角，仿佛在等待他的来临。En: "Can I ride you?" he gently asked the bicycle. Despite appearing somewhat comical, Zhang San's eyes were filled with enthusiasm for the challenge. The bicycle leaned against the wall, as if waiting for his arrival.Zh: 他吸了一口气，试图骑上自行车。然而他肩头的宽大鹤翅长袍让他在一次又一次的尝试中都失去了平衡。路过的人们对他投来了困惑和好奇的目光。En: Taking a deep breath, he attempted to mount the bicycle. However, his wide crane-wing robe on his shoulders caused him to lose balance in repeated tries. Passersby looked at him with a mix of confusion and curiosity.Zh: 一位开着三轮车的老人停下来看着他，"年轻人，你是想骑自行车吗?"老人笑着问。En: An old man driving a tricycle stopped to watch him, "Young man, do you want to ride the bicycle?" the old man asked with a smile.Zh: 张三点头，他心里充满了对失败的惧怕，但他不想轻易放弃，他想去证明，穿着这么鲜艳的中国传统服装他也可以骑自行车。En: Zhang San nodded, fearful of failure but unwilling to give up easily. He wanted to prove that he could ride a bicycle even in such bright Chinese traditional clothing.Zh: 老人笑了笑，指了指他的长袍，“这衣服没法骑，蹬车的时候会绊住的。”然后，他从三轮车上取下一块土黄色的布带，"这是我妻子的，你可以试试把袍子稍微捆一捆，这样就好些了。"En: The old man chuckled and pointed at his robe, "You can't ride in these clothes; they'll get in the way when you pedal." Then, he took off a piece of earthy yellow cloth from his tricycle, "This belongs to my wife. Try tying up your robe a bit, it'll be easier that way."Zh: 张三照做了，他把长袍捆了起来，再次跨上自行车，推蹬了几下。这次，他居然坚持住了，他正在骑行！虽然速度并不快，但这足以让他振奋。他的喜悦无法用语言表达，那一刻，他仿佛成为了马路上的王者。En: Following the advice, Zhang San tied up his robe, mounted the bicycle again, and pushed off a few times. To his surprise, he managed to stay balanced this time - he was riding! Although not very fast, it was enough to lift his spirits. His joy was indescribable; at that moment, he felt like the king of the road.Zh: 广场上的人们开始鼓掌，他们都被张三的毅力与勇气所打动。张三对着所有人微笑，举起了手，他成功了!他以自己的努力和坚持战胜了困难!En: People in the square started applauding, moved by Zhang San's perseverance and courage. Smiling at everyone, Zhang San raised his hand in triumph - he had succeeded! Through his effort and persistence, he had conquered the challenge.Zh: 夜幕降临，张三回到家，他看着那台自行车，心中充满了满足和骄傲。他知道，今天，他不仅仅是成功骑上了那台自行车，更是实现了自己的挑战。有一种温暖在他内心蔓延，那是成功后的安逸，那是挑战后的喜悦。En: As night fell, Zhang San returned home, looking at the bicycle with a heart full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that today, he had not only ridden the bicycle successfully but also conquered his challenge. A warm feeling spread in his heart - the comfort of success and the joy after overcoming a challenge.Zh: 各位，这就是我们故事的真正英雄，他叫张三。他让我们明白，无论面临什么难题，只要有决心，有毅力，都会找到方法，成功就会向我们招手。En: Everyone, this is the true hero of our story, his name is Zhang San. He teaches us that no matter what difficulties we face, as long as we have determination and perseverance, we will find a way, and success will beckon to us.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF KINDNESS & LIVING MORE THANKULLY with Susan Smith Jones, PhDYou've heard the uplifting stories: Passersby dropping scads of cash into charity collection buckets or anonymous donors paying off hospital bills for strangers. People helping victims during storms and natural disasters. Or the simple act of someone bringing food to elderly, sick neighbor or taking care of their garden while they recuperate. These acts of kindness make everybody feel good.But did you know that there's a science behind that phenomenon called "loving kindness." And research shows that learning and practicing loving kindness can profoundly affect your attitude, outlook and even your health.Better yet, you can rewire your brain to be more present and kinder to others, giving your mood a daily boost. According to our guest today, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, a holistic health and lifestyle expert and author, random acts of kindness bless both the giver and the receiver. She will tell us why kindness should be a year-long practice. Welcome back SusanSusanSmithJones.com@SusanSmithJoneshttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/ssj119.mp3

more:https://www.fluentfiction.org/a-day-of-laughter-biking-mishaps-unforgettable-moments-in-copenhagen/Story Transcript:Da: Høj sol skinnede over København.En: High sun shone over Copenhagen.Da: Ved bredden af Peblinge Sø, stod Lars, en høj fyr med et skævt smil.En: By the shore of Peblinge Lake stood Lars, a tall guy with a crooked smile.Da: Emma, lille med krøllet hår og glimt i øjet, ventede ved hans side.En: Emma, a petite girl with curly hair and a twinkle in her eye, stood by his side.Da: De skulle ud at køre en tur på deres cykler, nyde det smukke vejr.En: They were about to go for a bike ride and enjoy the beautiful weather.Da: Lars trak sin nyindkøbte cykel frem.En: Lars brought out his newly purchased bike.Da: Den glitrede i solen, præcis som hans øjne.En: It sparkled in the sun, just like his eyes.Da: Han rettede sine hænder på cykelstangen.En: He adjusted his hands on the handlebar.Da: Det var tid til at sætte sig op på hans nye skat.En: It was time to hop onto his new treasure.Da: Med et hop sprang han op og landede tungt på cykelsædet.En: With a leap, he jumped up and landed heavily on the bike seat.Da: Ikke fordi han havde mistet balancen, men fordi han havde sat sig baglæns.En: Not because he lost his balance, but because he sat backwards.Da: Emma holdt sin latter inde, men det varede ikke længe.En: Emma held back her laughter, but not for long.Da: Hun brød ud i grin, holdt sig på maven, mens hun rullede rundt på græset ved søen.En: She burst into laughter, holding her stomach as she rolled around on the grass by the lake.Da: "Lars!En: "Lars!Da: Du sidder baglæns!En: You're sitting backwards!"Da: " grinte hun og pejede på ham.En: she laughed, pointing at him.Da: Han kiggede ned, indså sin fejl og begyndte at grine højlydt.En: He looked down, realized his mistake, and started laughing loudly.Da: De mange forbipasserende smilte ved synet, enkelte klappede ligefrem.En: The many passersby smiled at the sight, and some even clapped.Da: Det smittende grin kunne bringe glæde i enhvers hjerte.En: That infectious laughter could bring joy to anyone's heart.Da: Efter det lille show, rettede Lars sig, vendte og satte sig ordentligt på cyklen denne gang.En: After the little show, Lars straightened up, turned around, and sat properly on the bike this time.Da: Emma var allerede ved at få vejret igen efter det gode grin.En: Emma was already catching her breath after the good laugh.Da: De begyndte at cykle gennem byen, grinede sammen, nød de små øjeblikke.En: They started cycling through the city, laughing together, enjoying the small moments.Da: Cykelturen fortsatte langs Langelinie, Strøget, og de stoppede ved Tivoli til en ispause, alt sammen med gode grin og sjove historier.En: The bike ride continued along Langelinie, Strøget, and they stopped at Tivoli for an ice cream break, all accompanied by good laughs and funny stories.Da: De nød det smukke Københavnsk landskab under solens varme stråler og folk, der gik omkring dem.En: They savored the beautiful Copenhagen scenery under the warm rays of the sun and the people passing by.Da: Ingen mærkelig cykeltur kunne overgå de smil og grin de delte den dag.En: No strange bike ride could surpass the smiles and laughter they shared that day.Da: Senere den aften, med benene dinglende ved bredden af søen, hvor det hele startede, delte de deres dagens højdepunkter.En: Later that evening, with their legs dangling by the lake, where it all started, they shared the highlights of their day.Da: "Tydeligvis var det, da du sad baglæns på cyklen," sagde Emma og begyndte at grine igen.En: "Clearly, it was when you sat backwards on the bike," Emma said, starting to laugh again.Da: Lars sendte hende det der skæve smil, der altid prydede hans ansigt.En: Lars gave her that crooked smile that always adorned his face.Da: "Ja, jeg tror, jeg vandt prisen for dagens klovn," sagde han og grinede med hende.En: "Yes, I think I won the prize for today's clown," he said, laughing along with her.Da: De dannede et billede af uskyldig glæde, med solnedgangen bag sig, hjerterne fulde af latter.En: They painted a picture of innocent joy, with the sunset behind them, their hearts filled with laughter.Da: Og sådan slutter vores historie med en solnedgang, grin og venskab mellem to gode venner.En: And thus, our story ends with a sunset, laughter, and friendship between two good friends.Da: En dag i København, de aldrig vil glemme.En: A day in Copenhagen they will never forget.Da: For uanset hvor meget man prøver at planlægge, er det de uventede fejl, grinet, latteren, der gør dagen, øjeblikkene uforglemmelige.En: Because no matter how much you try to plan, it's the unexpected mistakes, the laughter, and the joy that make the days and moments unforgettable.Da: Og det var sådan Lars lærte, hvordan man skal sidde på en cykel.En: And that's how Lars learned how to sit on a bike.Da: For fremover hver gang, han kiggede på sin cykel, ville han grine af det øjeblik.En: From then on, every time he looked at his bike, he would laugh at that moment.Da: Måske var han dagens klovn, men han var også en heldig fyr, for han har en ven i Emma, der kunne le sammen, grine, selv ved den mest pinlige situation.En: Perhaps he was the clown of the day, but he was also a lucky guy because he had a friend in Emma who could laugh together, even in the most embarrassing situations.Da: Det er ikke altid let at komme gennem livet, men med et smil på ansigtet, et grin klar til at sprudle ud, gør turen meget mere munter.En: Life is not always easy, but with a smile on your face and laughter ready to burst out, the journey becomes much more joyful.Da: Og som en visdom, Lars og Emma vil bære med sig, er en god latter altid, den bedste medicin – også ved "cykelulykker".En: And as a wisdom Lars and Emma will carry with them, a good laughter is always the best medicine – even when it comes to "bike accidents".Vocabulary Words:- High: Høj- Sun: sol-

The Twlight Zone 1959 The Passersby

Passersby do a double take when they see Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto.The two men glide through Tokyo's bustling Ikebukuro district in full-length samurai outfits, while wielding objects that look like swords. They are members of the Gomi Hiroi Samurai or the trash-collecting samurai. Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto, part of the Gomi Hiroi Samurai group, are actors who perform as samurai who clean up Tokyo. Credit: Julia Kim/The World  “Yesterday was Friday so people are smoking and drinking around here, so there's a lot of trash,” Kobayashi said.On closer inspection, their samurai swords — or katanas — are actually just very long tongs, used to pick up litter. Kobayashi said the tongs are important for novelty value.“We're doing this as entertainment … but it can be tiring sometimes. It's tough, man.”The Gomi Hiroi Samurai do this three times a week. There's four of them, and they're professional actors. In their spare time, they volunteer to keep the streets of Tokyo clean. Goto formed the group in 2009. Since then, they have become a viral sensation on TikTok, with over 700,000 followers and counting.  Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto, part of the Gomi Hiroi Samurai group, are actors who perform as samurai who clean up Tokyo. Credit: Julia Kim/The World   Here in Ikebukuro, they target back alleys and parking lots, which are rife with litter. Kobayashi and Goto, working in sync, slice and spin their tongs through the air, meticulously seizing cigarette butts one by one before tossing them into the wastebaskets strapped to their backs.Manaka Nishibiro, a nursery teacher trainee, watched them from a distance.“Picking up trash is unpleasant for most people, but their performance makes it look so fun,” Nishibiro said, adding that she hopes it might encourage others to do the same. Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto pick up litter in Tokyo as part of an acting troupe, the Gomi Hiroi Samurai, who have an environmental mission. Credit: Julia Kim/The World  An hour later, Kobayashi and Goto took their wastebaskets to a recycling base. There, they separated out every piece of rubbish they've collected. They said that they hope to recruit more Gomi Hiroi samurai  in Japan — and around the world — to spread their message: “We punish immoral hearts.”It means that trash in and of itself isn't bad. Instead, it's people and the actions that stem from their negative mindsets. And a growing sense of negativity is something that Kobayashi said worries him.“This is a problem in Japan,” he said. “People don't go outside.” Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto, actors, use their roles in the Gomi Hiroi Samurai as a way to entertain and encourage people to keep the outdoors clean. Credit: Julia Kim/The World  Last month, a government survey showed that 1.5 million people are living as social recluses in Japan. With loneliness and depression on the rise, Kobayashi said he hopes that their fun, zany take on something as mundane as trash-collecting helps people reengage with the outside world. Kaz Kobayashi and Ikki Goto, part of the Gomi Hiroi Samurai group, are professional actors who volunteer to clean up litter in Tokyo. Their mantra is “clean space, clear mind.” Credit: Julia Kim/The World   “Samurai is a warrior,” he said. “Our philosophy is to help people.”For these eco-warriors, “clean space, clear mind” is more than just a saying — it's the way of the Gomi Hiroi samurai.Listen to the other stories in the four-part Waste Pickers series on The World:Trash sorters in Ghana face health and safety risksIn Mumbai, waste pickers do the heavy lifting of recycling‘We were treated as disposable beings': Waste pickers in Colombia fought for their rights after 11 murder

Good Friday is a day of revolution. It is a revolution in which Jesus dies at the hands of oppression, then rises to new life to bring heaven to earth, not only in an afterlife but in the here and now. And Jesus invites us to join him as full, active participants in his saving work of bringing peace, justice, and hope.

There is a lot to be learned from Paul Baron. Having been called a “serial entrepreneur” and referred to as “industry agnostic”, Paul is a restless and energetic visionary who recognizes opportunity everywhere he goes.  Paul Baron is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Wall Printer USA. He is responsible for all executive functions, assuring the corporation's growth and the success of businesses that purchase a Wall Printer.  Paul's 40+ decades of business experience span B2B, B2C, retail, manufacturing, distribution, international business, and franchising. He has personally developed and launched concepts and supported successful revenue growth, leading to exits for several start-ups and established businesses. Paul thrives in rapid-growth and high-energy environments and values a diverse culture with good people who like to dream big, work hard, and have fun. He leads with a positive attitude, humor, and humility. An articulate communicator with outstanding public speaking and presentation skills, Paul is frequently asked to guest lecture at industry events. He mentors business owners and student interns at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) and at UNCWs Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE.) Paul serves on advisory boards at UNCWs Business Schools Entrepreneurship track, at non-profit organizations, and privately held businesses in Wilmington, Atlanta, and NY. PAUL earned a BS in Mathematics with an education minor at the State University of New York at New Paltz and studied advanced Mathematics at the University of New Hampshire. In 2022, Louis Vuitton's ‘200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries' Exhibition Featured The Wall Printer in NYC on the Prestigious Madison Avenue. Passersby observed The Wall Printer constantly printing new designs on the wall behind the Louis Vuitton trunk display, in celebration of the 200th birthday of their eponymous founder. You'll find The Wall Printer beautifying walls indoors and out across the Western Hemisphere. The Wall Printer is quickly expanding throughout North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. As Wall Printing businesses grow, the company will support them with tangible solutions, inks, parts, outstanding service, and marketing solutions to expand their successful wall printing services locally. Entrepreneurship is a mindset After Paul graduated, he went to work for someone else. He was never truly satisfied.  After asking for a deserved raise, Paul's boss looked him in the eye and gave him a valuable piece of advice: When you work for someone else, you'll never be paid as much as you feel you're worth. This lesson stuck with Paul. While working to build other peoples' dreams, we never get to chase our own - and wind up feeling unappreciated. Paul took those words to heart and he decided to go into business for himself.  Over the years, there were numerous opportunities to work under other leadership. But Paul had tasted freedom, and he loved it. His desire to manage his own time and creativity led to him honing his skills in negotiation, communication and strategy. Paul's discovery is a powerful reminder to all entrepreneurs to know their worth.  Entrepreneurs look for exciting opportunities When it comes to launching businesses, Paul has some sage advice to share: Look for opportunity everywhere you go. He encourages us to keep an open mind. Ask yourself - What problem does this product or service solve? Who is best served by it? Where do I find those people? When Paul first heard about The Wall Printer, he was excited. But he didn't jump in right away. He dutifully did his homework, researching ways to make the company successful in North America and beyond. After spending over a year looking into numbers and areas for improvement, Paul decided to take the leap.  Rather than sticking to a more traditional franchising model, Paul settled on a fresh new concept: The exclusivity model. Exclusivity agreements are a method of controlling the market - In this case, granting each company that buys a printer an exclusive area for growth. Paul doesn't restrict the marketing or branding for The Wall Printer locations; He provides ongoing support for them as they grow and expand. Buyers can secure their own territory in North America or beyond. His goal is 1,000 territories in the United States - and he's steadily working towards the mark. Leaders create opportunities for others Whether managing teams or building new business owners, Paul fosters leadership abilities in others.  Refusing to micromanage or obsess over details, Paul learned early in his entrepreneurship journey that his time had greater value elsewhere. He also saw the immense benefits of allowing others to lead - forming bonds between teams, creating opportunities for employees to shine and get recognized. The message is important - When you step back and allow people to use their strengths, they become future leaders.  Enjoy the lessons of serial entrepreneur Paul Baron on this episode of The Business of You! Quotes “I gained a reputation as someone who could take a foreign company's product and identify high-value customers in the American audience. So, that's what I did.” “Somebody once told me, ‘What makes a great leader and CEO is someone who is smart enough to hire the best people for the jobs that are needed… but wise enough to back off and let them do it!'” “More often than not, when you don't stay in your own lane, you start doing more than you're really capable of doing, and not what your time is best suited doing. When you back off… chances are, people will rise to the occasion. Teams will run better.” “I told myself, if I'm going to make this business a success, and I'm going to make my customers a success, I'm going to give them enough area exclusively to grow a business - with something nobody's ever seen or heard about before. So that's why I wanted the exclusivity model.” “Our community shares videos and success stories. That's something we do for one another! We share those things because it works for everybody's benefit.” “I went in to the owner of the company. I said that I was ready for a raise. He said something that I carry with me to this day. He said - ‘Paul, when you work for somebody, you'll never earn what you think you're worth.'” “A common thread of my businesses is that I've always had a partner. I've always enjoyed having a person who complements the skills that I do not have.” “I've always believed in cooperation over competition. We can always exchange ideas and work out financial agreements.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for The Wall printer at https://thewallprinter.com/en/  Watch The Wall Printer in action in the Youtube video for the Louis Vuitton 200 Exhibition, celebrating the 200th birthday of the eponymous founder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZkHd_bKsAU  Contact Paul Baron to become an owner at https://thewallprinter.com/en/contact-us/  Connect with Paul Baron personally on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/pbbaron/?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Listen above to “Regarding Henry: The birth and betrayal of the humane movement in America,” part one of “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: Animal Sheltering in the United States,” a podcast series.I recently published several articles and podcasts about how some groups have abandoned their No Kill mission and are now successfully encouraging others to do the same. Concerned about the increasing betrayal of No Kill ideals by organizations that grew influential and wealthy by championing that very cause, this is part one of a podcast series that will serve both as a refresher on the history and principles of No Kill, as well as provide a roadmap for the future.Although a tremendous amount of progress has been made since the publication, 13 years ago, of my first book, Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America, and though millions of animals who would have once faced death when entering their local shelter now find instead a helping hand and a new beginning, our work is far from over. In fact, at the very moment we have achieved unprecedented progress — an achievement that has been called “the single biggest success of the modern animal protection movement” — there are those who would have us abandon the very means that have proven so transformative in shelter after shelter in America, rather than double down on those efforts until every single animal in every single shelter is guaranteed the same. Explaining how this tragic crossroads has come to pass, what we can do to stop this backsliding, and what future we should be striving for are the goals of this series of podcasts; a series that starts with a story, as I explained in Redemption, that should serve as our movement's true North: the founding of the American animal protection movement in the second half of the 19th century by the late, great, visionary Henry Bergh.To those who read Redemption or seen the documentary based on the book, Henry Bergh needs no introduction. To those who haven't, Henry Bergh launched the humane movement in North America.After he succeeded in chartering the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals — the nation's first SPCA — in 1866 and then passing an anti-cruelty law shortly thereafter, he put a copy in his pocket, and took to the streets that very night — and every single night thereafter for the remainder of his life — to help animals and punish violators. The annals of the ASPCA describe the first such encounter:The driver of a cart laden with coal is whipping his horse. Passersby on the New York City street stop to gawk not so much at the weak, emaciated equine, but at the tall man, elegant in top hat and spats, who is explaining to the driver that it is now against the law to beat one's animal.Whether fighting for the rights of horses, opposing hunting, trying to clean up slaughterhouses, or protecting stray dogs, Bergh's ASPCA grew in both scope and influence. In a very short period of time, cities across North America had used the ASPCA as a model for their own, independent humane societies and SPCAs, and the numbers continued to grow. Although he is not a very well known figure, we and the animals owe him a great deal. Every humane society that stands up for animals; every animal protection group that gives voice to the voiceless; and the millions of animals who have been saved thanks to the efforts of activists and advocates, are a living legacy to his life. Bergh was one of the first Americans to begin weaving the ideals of animal protection into our jurisprudence, the American psyche, and the fabric of American life.His influence cannot be overstated, but even during the course of his life, Bergh saw trouble ahead. Indeed, Bergh often worried about the future of the ASPCA, stating, “I hate to think what will befall this Society when I am gone.” It didn't take long for Bergh's worst fears to come true. Shortly after his death, and against his express instructions, the ASPCA traded in its mission of protecting animals from harm for the role of killing them by agreeing to run the dog pound — something that Bergh rejected during his lifetime: “This Society,” he once wrote, “could not stultify its principles so far as to encourage the tortures which the proposed give rise to.” In fact, Bergh's answer was the opposite: “Let us abolish the pound!” But after his death, the ASPCA capitulated and took over the pound, becoming New York City's leading killer of dogs and cats. It was a terrible mistake, one emulated by humane societies and SPCAs nationwide, with devastating results.Unwilling to harm the animals they were supposed to be protecting, animal lovers fled these groups, and bureaucrats and opportunists with no passion for animals or for saving their lives took them over, paving the way for the crisis of uncaring and killing that would define these organizations for well over a century. What began as a nationwide network of animal protection groups devolved into dog and cat pounds whose primary purpose became, and in too many communities remains, killing animals, even when those animals are not suffering. And the mighty ASPCA, once a stalwart defender of animals, became a stalwart defender of killing them, beholden not to animals or furthering their best interest, but to a ruthless fundraising machine enriching itself and its leadership at the expense of its founding mission.When the early founders of the animal protection movement died and their organizations took over the job of killing those they had been formed to protect, a fiery zeal was replaced with a smoldering ember that gave little light or warmth and the humane movement went to sleep. People like the tirelessly devoted Henry Bergh were replaced with individuals who care so little for animals as to allow tremendous cruelty and killing to continue unabated, even when they could use the power their positions afford, and the tremendous wealth of their organizations, to stop it. But after over 100 years of this antiquated and deadly paradigm, the grassroots of the animal protection movement finally woke up and fought back, demanding and winning No Kill solutions, a topic we will turn to in part two of this series.——————This holiday season, please consider giving the gift of a Substack subscription to a friend, family member, or colleague.

Health Benefits of Kindness with Susan Smith Jones, PhDYou've heard the uplifting stories: Passersby dropping scads of cash into charity collection buckets or anonymous donors paying off hospital bills for strangers. People helping victims during storms and natural disasters. Or the simple act of someone bringing food to an elderly, sick neighbor or taking care of their garden while they recuperate. These acts of kindness make everybody feel good. But did you know that there's a science behind that phenomenon called "loving kindness." And research shows that learning and practicing loving kindness can profoundly affect your attitude, outlook and even your health. Better yet, you can rewire your brain to be more present and kinder to others, giving your mood a daily boost. According to our guest today, Susan Smith Jones, PhD, a holistic health and lifestyle expert and author, random acts of kindness bless both the giver and the receiver. She will tell us why kindness should be a year-long practice.www.SusanSmithJones.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/ssj95.mp3   

It's a quarter past seven in the evening on Friday, June 11, 1993.  18-year-old Elizabeth Stevens is freezing. She's soaking wet from the rain, her short hair clinging to her neck.  She steps off the bus which she caught from Frankston to Cranbourne Road, Langwarrin, and hurries towards her aunt and uncle's house where she lives. She doesn't know she's being watched. She had spent her Friday evening at Frankston Library on an English assignment. Her goal is to one day join the army and she knows she has to complete this TAFE course in order to get there. That particular June night, the rain is so heavy it's difficult to see. As Elizabeth turns into Paterson Avenue a man jumps at her out of the darkness, dressed in a green army jacket and navy baseball cap. The sound of the rain and the roaring wind drowns out her screams.  She feels what she can only assume is a gun to her head as he drags her along someone's front lawn.  Threatening Elizabeth, the man holds her hand, directing her down Paterson Avenue. Passersby think their interaction looks innocent, not knowing that if Elizabeth doesn't comply the man has threatened to “blow her head off”.  He leads her to Lloyd Park into a clump of bushes.  These would be the last moments of Elizabeth Stevens' life.  Less than an hour afterwards the man responsible for her murder would be sitting inside his warm home, enjoying a roast dinner, waiting for his girlfriend to return home from work.   CREDITS Guest: Vikki Petraitis, author of The Frankston Murders: 25 Years On Host: Jessie Stephens Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Ian Camileri   CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

Passersby watch as Nataly Martinez and Amelia Ortiz, supported by Norma Garcia, try to encourage a cat to come down from the top of a building on C Street in downtown Floresville July 27 — just like a scene from an old TV show. The cat carefully left the roof for the top of the drainpipe (top left) and onto the awning, then — ignoring the blanket held by the ladies — jumped from the awning to the ground, before sauntering off.Article Link

For Christopher, a physically disabled veteran, everyday activities had become more challenging, took longer to finish, and increased his pain. Still, he did his best to serve his wife and child. Passersby would see him using a push-mower to cut his lawn every week.One day, Christopher received a letter—and an expensive riding lawnmower—from an anonymous donor. The secret giver’s satisfaction came through the privilege of helping someone in need. Jesus doesn’t say that all of our giving should be in secret, but He does remind us to check our motives when we give (Matthew 6:1). He also said: “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others” (v. 2). While the Lord expects us to be openhanded givers, He encourages us to avoid doing good deeds in front of people for the purpose of receiving accolades or special recognition (v. 3). When we realize everything we have comes from God, we can be secret givers who don’t need to pat our own backs or gain the admiration of others. Our all-knowing Giver of all good things delights in the genuine generosity of His people. Nothing beats the reward of His approval.

On December 1, 1948, in Adelaide, Australia, a young jockey, Neil Day, was riding his horse on Somerton beach. It was around 6:30 a.m. when he and his riding mate discovered the body of a clean-shaven man wearing a brown suit. Although the person was clearly dead, he was laying on his back against a wall and seemed to be staring at the sky. There was no identification on the body. Thus, officials never identified the man or the cause of death. Then four months later they found a clue. It was a piece of paper with the words “Tamam Shud ,” meaning the end. This is the case of the Somerton Man, also known as the Taman Shud case. On the night of November 30, 1948, at least two groups of passersby saw a man who looked like the dead man the jockeys found the following morning. He had also sat in the same place that the Somerton Man lay. The witnesses said that they did not get a very good look at him, but it was the same man from what they could tell. Passersby saw him around 7:00 p.m. By 7:30-8:00, there was no discernible movement. One witness said he had wondered if the man was alive, but assumed he was drunk. Evidence Found at the Scene The Somerton man wore a nice suit, which pointed to at least a marginal amount of prosperity. An expensive British cigarette, not from Australia, lay behind his ear. Another half-smoked cigarette of the same brand nestled between his cheek and collar. Interestingly, a pack of those cigarettes placed in the case of a cheaper brand was in his pocket. Additionally, investigators found a few more items in his pockets: a book of matches, a used bus ticket to Glenelg, and an unused train ticket to Henley Beach.

There’s more. Today I’ll talk a little about that, a little bit about some other auspicious birthdays, as well as yakudoushi (厄年), the calamitous or evil years. Per Japanese tradition, we all have them and they’re not to be taken lightly. So in this episode I’ll tell you how people in Japan celebrate the good years and mitigate those wretched ones. Intro: CM: Hey hey, everyone. How are you all holding up? I’ve got a touch of news. The anthology of essays, Inaka: Portraits of Life in Rural Japan, published by Camphor Press, is officially out. My piece called “Sticky Ghosts and Other Missteps” is in there along with a bunch more good looking essays. I just got my copies yesterday and can’t wait to read. Last I checked it was around eight bucks for an ebook on the Camphor Press website or Amazon. The title again is Inaka: Portraits of Life in Rural Japan. It’s got a gorgeous cover, too. In other writing news. I don’t talk about it a lot, but some of you might know that I started this podcast as a way of dealing with and trying to survive a very bad situation. I managed to find the strength to leave that, had some months of normalcy before realizing I was entangled in yet another truly horrible place. That also took a year or so to get out of, but I did. The whole time, though, this podcast has been my anchor and a way of keeping me sane. Now, everyone, reach over and knock on or touch wood. Despite this pandemic and the chaotic state of the world, after almost four years of not really writing anything new except the podcast and the Bedtime Stories for patrons, I started working on a mid-grade book. It’s all brand new and incredibly fun. I am so excited about it, it’s all I want to do. There is adventure, mystery, scary bits, warm fuzzies, and youkai. My plan is to have it ready to send to my agent before the end of the year and see what happens. Fingers crossed. What is Kanreki: Okay, today’s topic: Kanreki or your sixtieth birthday. The two characters mean something like “return or circulate years”, basically it means “one full cycle”. When you reach sixty years of age, you’ve completed this one cycle and are in effect born again. I’m not going to get into the nitty-gritty of how a twelve year, animal zodiac calendar becomes sixty years. Just know that every one of those twelve years are combined with something called Jikkan, making different combinations. When all is said and done, there are sixty different combinations before you start again. Now the custom of celebrating one’s kanreki started in the Nara Era, sow way back in the seven hundreds. Back then living to be sixty years of age was living to be very, very old. A little trivia: we all think of Japan as having one of the longest life expectancies, and it does, but before WW2, the average life expectancy here was 50 for me, 54 for women. How you Celebrate Kanreki: So, anyway, how do you celebrate your kanreki? By having a nice get-together and a fancy meal, of course. The person who is in their sixtieth year will sit at the place of honor on a red zabuton cushion. They’ll don in a red vest, called a chanchanko ( ちゃんちゃんこ ), a red billowy hat, called an e-boshi and they’ll also be given a white fan to hold. You’ll notice there is a lot of red in the celebration. This is because red is associated with luck, prosperity, health and warding off bad luck and evil, as well as birth. Remember your kanreki is a time of rebirth. Aka-chan, or red one, is the word for baby in Japanese. Some other red things. While there are many variations, you will probably find served with your fancy meal, sekihan (赤飯)(sticky rice with red azuki beans), — you’ll find served a lot for special occasions — red sea bream (or tai (鯛), which sounds like medetai (めでたい), which means to celebrate) and shrimp or lobster, both red and having curved backs and long whiskers, symbolizing a long life. It used to be sixty was the age of retirement, so not only was your kanreki celebrating your super long life, it also meant if you were the head of the household you could now step aside and allow your child to take over the family business. The wife on her kanreki would give a shamoji (one of those rice paddles) to her daughter-in-law, as a way of indicating the same thing. Get to work. These days it seems the celebration is more just a time to get together, be thankful, eat good food  and have some laughs. Not a lot of retiring or revering the ripe old age of sixty, which by all accounts is still young. So young in fact, I’ve heard some people would rather not have the get-together and dress up in the vermillion garb. Maybe they’d just like to receive a pair of red underpants with kanreki written across the butt. I don’t know about the olden times, but it does have a playful vibe to it now. Other Auspicious Birthdays: After you get through your kanreki, there are also some other celebrated years. When you turn 70 you have your koki (古希) which means ancient or rare and the celebratory colors are purple. 77 (kiju喜寿) 80 (sanju 傘寿) 81 (hanju 半寿) 88 (beiju 米寿) 90 (sotsuju 卒寿) 99 (hakuju 白寿) 100 (jouju or byakuju 百寿） 108 (chaju 茶寿) 111 (kouju 高寿) We’re not done. On your 120th birthday we would celebrate daikanreki (大還暦), big kanreki, because you’ve just completed your second sixty-year cycle. There’s one more. Ready? If perchance you reach the ripe old age of 250, it’s called tenju (天寿) and the ten in tenju means heaven. I’ll have all the kanji for those in the transcript on the website. Yakudoshi/Unlucky Years: Those are the good times. Now let’s do a 180 and look at our yakudoshi, calamitous, unlucky, or evil years. It’s during these times you are believed to be more susceptible to some sickness, misfortune or other disaster. Now, as nothing is ever all good or all bad, another way I’ve heard these years described is not so much evil, but years that involve great change. Changes in your life or body. Here’s an interesting note about measuring how old you are by old Japanese standards. There is something called kazoe-doshi (数え年). When a person is born they are counted as one year old. On their “what we in the west would call their first birthday” they would be turning two. It makes sense. The time you’re in the womb, you are indeed alive. So keep that in mind if you’re every reading about ages and find a year discrepancy in your research. The older age is probably their kazoedoshi. Kazoedoshi makes you older. Again, some differences depending on where you are  in Japan, but these are my area’s yakudoshi years, and when I read around, pretty much standard for most places except Okinawa. Here we go: Women have their unlucky years when they are 19, 33, and 37. Men have their bad years when they are 25, 42, and 61. Among those three ages, the most dangerous year to watch out for is 33 for women and 42 for men. Those are called daiyaku (大厄), big misfortune, big disaster, big evil. Side note: I didn’t even realize it at the time, but my daiyaku really was one of the if not the worst year of my life. If you’re not one of those ages, don’t think you’re getting off scot free by only having three potentially crisis filled years in your life. There is something called mae-yaku (前厄)and ato-yaku  (後厄). Pre misfortune and post misfortune. Basically, it means that the year before and after each of those years are also suspect. So if you identify as female, you need to be careful, when you’re 18, 19, 20, and 32, 33, 34, and 36,37, 38. If you identify as male then your bad years will be 24, 25,26 and 41, 42, 43, and 60,61,62. How to Mitigate Bad Luck: But, Terrie, you ask, how does one be careful if you’re coming into a yakudoshi year? I asked that very same question and was told not to overdo it during those years or maybe better said, don’t press my luck by doing anything too adventurous or out of the ordinary, no long trips, no important undertakings, not risky life changes, because they might turn out very, very badly Also, it’s common for people to pray at shrines or temples and to buy omamori (お守り), or protecting amulets. You can also get a yaku-bari (厄払い), or a kind of cleansing ritual done to ward off any bad energy and keep you theoretically safe. One thing I just read about but hadn’t heard before is the old tradition of abandoning a personal item, for women a comb, needle, or hair ornament; for men a writing brush, work tool, or fundoshi, Japanese loincloth at a crossroads. It’s believed all the people passing over this place will dissipate the bad energy. So if you’re ever at a crossroads and run across some old fashioned underwear, well, you know why they’re there. Finally, I read that you can drop coins, the number equalling the same number as your age, at that same crossroads. Passersby will pick them up…thus dissipating your bad luck. Patrons: Oh, finally, speaking of sixty, Uncanny Japan has 168 patrons at the moment and, okay, I know that’s a crappy seque, but I was thinking how wonderful it would be if we could get up to 200 by the end of the year. If you’ve ever thought about supporting the show Google Patreon and Uncanny Japan and there we are. $5 a month seems to be a sweet spot, with a monthly story, some binaural relaxing sounds, I’m learning to put together some little videos of local interesting areas, things like that. Rich Pav, sound and tech man, is also just about ready to launch a Youtube Japanese home cooking channel. We’ll add another tier for $10 a month where you’ll get everything mentioned above along with with early access and bonus content from Richard, as well as, online study-related goodies. Right now we’re thinking of using anki and quizlet to make flashcard decks for all the vocabulary that come up in the cooking videos and in the podcast. I’ll let you know when that launches. And there we go. Lucky years, unlucky years and how to celebrate the good stuff and protect yourself from the bad stuff. Thank you for listening, stay safe and healthy. I will talk to you again in two weeks.

If you can manage to make it through the day without wearing someone else’s pants that have drugs in the pockets… then you’re doing OK.

Nothing says ‘Holiday Greetings’ like terrorists who target this season as the perfect time for lone wolf attacks. Indeed, the new London attack may well be the beginning of this year’s holiday spree. Multiple stabbings at Fishmongers’ Hall began the calls to police and the chase to London Bridge. Passersby became heroes as they swarmed the terrorist, knocked him down and took his kitchen knife. When police arrived, they shot him, but not before he opened his jacket to reveal a suicide vest. The vest turned out to be a hoax, but his intentions were very real. Yet, many media outlets refused to call it a ’terror’ attack, long after the Metro Police had said that it was one! And the few media outlets that showed his body, blurred his face. His name, Usman Khan, wasn’t released for hours, though he turned out to be a convicted terrorist who’d been released from prison.There's apparently more concern for preventing Islamophobia than for reporting the truth! After the London attack, New York police went on higher alert, aware that there are wannabe terrrorists close at hand. In fact, it’s not only ‘a tree that grows in Brooklyn’, but a wannabe terrorist, as well. Zachary Clark had just been arrested for encouraging ISIS attacks in the NYC subway! Hear how he urged lone wolves to overcome their discomfort at plunging a knife into a non-believer's chest and to “make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom!"

Our agents make sure your home gets the attention it deserves, and here’s how we do it. Real estate agents at Coldwell Banker like to do things differently.  A few times each month, I meet with other agents to discuss upcoming listings. We essentially pitch the listings to one another and learn more about the features of each home. By networking like this, we’re able to get eyes on your home before it even hits the market. At my listings, I provide large, full-color flyers for interested buyers to take. Typically, agents only provide a black-and-white photo that lacks all the details that make a home exciting. By providing better flyers, we showcase your home and display all the great features inside.  “By providing better flyers, we showcase your home and display all the great features inside.” On top of this, we even create a website specifically for your home! Passersby can simply pull out their phones and go to the website to see pictures, take virtual tours, and much more. By choosing an agent with Coldwell Banker, you know your home listing will stand out from the crowd. If you’re looking to sell a home or would like more information, feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.  

The Hong Kong police, often regarded as the most trusted in the region, have lost their reputation as several serious instances of violence and violation of their own rules are now coming to the surface, while Hong Kong enters its eighth month of protests against government policies curbing democratic rights. On November 11, a Hong Kong traffic police officer fired three live rounds at two unarmed protesters in a district located in the east of Hong Kong island early morning during a city-wide strike action. Passersby then argued with police and riot police fired pepper spray. Alleged gang rape by four at the police station Outrage grew as the public heard for the first time of an accusation of a gang rape inside a police station in Tsuen Wan back in September. On October 26 - four days after the police complaints office was notified of the incident - a police spokesperson said that it "Had not received any complaints of sexual assault" at the San Uk Ling Holding Centre, a separate facility which has come under fire as notorious for inmate abuse. At the time, police did not say whether they had received any complaints of sexual crimes in relation to Tsuen Wan Police Station or other police facilities. International experts called for independent investigation of police complaints Surveys show that the majority of Hong Kong people do not trust the police force and demand an independent investigation on police's abusive use of force.

"Twilight Zone - V03E10 - The Passersby" from archive.org was assembled into the "Dimsdale" podcast by Fourble. Episode 591 of 948.

The fifth pillar of Islam is Hajj, which translates to mean 'the pilgrimage to the Holy city of Makkah' The Arabic word Hajj, linguistically, means 'heading to a place for the sake of visiting'; in Islamic terminology, it describes the act of heading to Makkah to observe specific acts and rituals. Hajj, or the pilgrimage, is a 5-6-day journey to this sacred place between the 8th and 13th day of the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Dhul-Hijjah. The Hajj journey is obligatory for every Muslim, male or female, to complete at least once in a lifetime; providing that they are mentally, physically and financially capable of making the trip. God states: "...And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way...” (Quran 3:97) The Hajj includes detailed reenactments of certain symbolic rituals performed by great Prophets and righteous individuals in the past. The Hajj Pilgrimage and its symbolic rituals commemorate the legacy of Prophet Abraham peace be upon him, so one needs to learn about Prophet Abraham to understand the reasoning behind individual acts performed as a part of Hajj. Integral to Hajj is the Kaaba, a Holy Shrine, a black silk-clad cube stone structure at the heart of the Grand Mosque in the modern-day city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba is at the center of the Earth, built by Prophet Abraham and his son Ismael peace be upon them. Upon completion, God the Almighty Commanded Prophet Abraham to relay the Message amongst the people that they would be required to make a pilgrimage to this House. Prophet Abraham peace be upon him replied, 'O Allah, with no one here, how will they hear my Message?' God then answered, 'Upon you is the proclamation, and upon me, is to see who responds.' Prophet Abraham peace be upon him went on top of the Kaaba and also climbed Mount Safa and called out, ‘O People, Allah has built a house for himself on this Earth, and he has legislated upon you to perform pilgrimage, so come and perform pilgrim to this house!' "And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass" (Quran 22:27) By performing Hajj, Muslims are answering the command of Allah. Over 4000 years later, to this day, millions upon millions of Muslims continue to answer the call of Prophet Ibrahim peace be upon him from every corner of the globe. You find Muslims from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and all over the world making this pilgrimage every year. It is the largest annual convention of faith on Earth, where Muslims gather to commemorate the rituals observed by Prophet Abraham and his son, Ishmael peace be upon them. Muslims celebrate the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim and the many sacrifices he has made for the sake of God. When Muslims enter the scared Makkan territory during Hajj, they bathe themselves and enter a ritually purified state called Ahram. In this state, pilgrims are forbidden to perform typical actions that are otherwise permissible, such as covering one's head for males, clipping their fingernails, cutting their hair, hunting animals, picking plants, engaging in sexual activity, and wearing traditional clothing for men. Male Pilgrims wear two white seamless lyon sheets with no stitching by hand, that are wrapped around the body. No belts, no rings, no perfumes, no jewelry, or any accessories or garish clothing, may be worn. The simple garb worn represents complete impoverishment and humility and signifies the equality of humanity—as everyone comes before God the same. No one is better than the other among the pilgrims of Hajj. Muslims are all united in their devotion to God. Every human being is displayed equally, as we are all equal in the eyes of Allah regardless of our color or race. The black man stands next to the white man, and they call on Allah with one voice. The King stands beside a peasant; the businessman stands beside the politician, the doctor beside the engineer, and they declare their submission to the will of Allah using the same words. Several Millions of people are dressed the same way and look the same; no one can tell the rich from the poor; all fulfill the same rituals with the utmost humility. This is to remind pilgrims of the coming Day of Judgment when all people will be stripped of their clothes and displayed before their God. The pilgrims show a sense of poverty with their appearance, as the pilgrims acknowledge that they are the ones in need, and God is the one that owns and has everything they require. Pilgrims start to perform their tawaf from the black stone corner. Tawaf is the act of circulating the Kaaba counterclockwise. Pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba seven times while they recite prayers during each circuit. Pilgrims perform the tawaf (circumambulation) to follow the suit of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as has been ordained in the Qur'an. As Pilgrims circulate the Kaaba, they disconnect themselves from worldly attachments and focus upon the presence of the Divine. As Pilgrims circumambulate the Kabah, they chant: 'Here I am, O Allah, Here I am, you have no partner; indeed, all praise, favor, and dominion belong to you, you have no partner.' Since Prophet Abraham and his wife Sara could not bear any children, Sara asked her husband to marry their servant so they could beget a child before they were too old to raise offspring. Later, Prophet Abraham was commanded by God to take both his second wife Hagar and their son Ismael and leave them in a barren desert valley in modern-day Mecca. As soon as Prophet Abraham peace be upon him started to leave, Hagar cried out, 'Where are you going? Why are you leaving us?' Abraham did not respond. After a few more attempts to find answers, Hagar then asked if this action was a commandment from God. He responded, 'Yes.' Then she replied, ‘if God commanded you to leave us, then leave us, because God never will leave us to perish.” She was sure that God would not abandon her and her child, despite their presence at the center of a Desert Valley. He left them with little water and some dates. Later, Hagar ran out of food and water and started to worry for her child. She then fell into a state of anxiety and climbed a hillock called Mount Safa, crying out, ‘is anyone there?’  Then she ran to another hillock—Mount Marwa—again crying out, ‘Is anyone there?’ Then she paced back and forth to each mountain, seven times. On the seventh round, Hajar saw Angel Gabriel descend from the sky and strike the ground with his wing, causing water to gush upward from the Earth. Angel Gabriel declared, ‘Zam, Zam,’ meaning ‘Stop, Stop,’ commanding the water to stop. This water is now referred to as Zam Zam Water. This well to this today nourishes pilgrims of Mecca every day. Passersby rescued Hagar and her child. Years later, when Ismael was growing to become a man, his father Prophet Abraham returned and built with him the house in Mecca, called the Kabah. In commemoration of this great sacrifice from Hagar, Muslim pilgrims in Hajj progress in a quicker pace going back and forth between the two hillocks (which are 300-400 yards apart) seven times, reenacting Hagar's movements when attempting to find aid. This action is symbolic of Hagar's search for water and the miracle of the well of Zam Zam. Then the pilgrims depart Mecca toward the valley of Minna, which is about 3-4 miles outside of Makkah. During Hajj season, Minna is full of over 100,000 air-conditioned tents that cover every open space as far as the eye can see, row after row, where pilgrims stay overnight. The tents accommodate roughly 2-3 million people performing Hajj. Pilgrims spend their time in prayer, worship, and meditation, asking for forgiveness on the night known as Layali Al-Tashreeq. After spending the night at the village of Mina, pilgrims take the next step and proceed to a large plain about 7-8 miles from Mecca called Arafat, a large plain surrounded by bare mountains. Forming the center is a hill known as Mount Mercy (Gabal Al-Rahma), where Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him delivered his memorable Farewell Sermon. This is the central rite of the entire Hajj. Pilgrims stand from noon to sunset praying quietly before God, begging for mercy and forgiveness and asking their wishes. Many pilgrims shed tears as they ask the Al-Mighty to forgive them their sins in this very emotional day of standing. Standing, reflecting, considering their actions, and begging and pleading to God is often thought of as a preview and representation of the great assembly of the upcoming Day of Judgment. It is to remind people of the fateful day where everyone will stand before their Lord begging for mercy. Then pilgrims spend the night at Muzdalifah, an open plain about halfway between Arafat and Mina where pilgrims pray, then go back to Mina. At 95, Prophet Abraham peace be upon him saw himself slaughtering his son in a dream; interpreting the vision to mean that he needed to slaughter his son for the sake of God. He was to lay his son on to the sand and raise a knife to sacrifice him. Islam doesn't allow this act; the dream was only a way for God to test Prophet Abraham. But Prophet Abraham didn't know that this was only a test to see who he loved and was devoted to the most; his Lord or his son. Ismael was his only progeny at the time. His son looked at his father and said, ‘if God commanded you to do this, do as you were commanded as I too am submissive to God.’ As Prophet Abraham peace be upon him raised his sword, Satan appeared in front of him and stated, 'that's your only son, what are you doing? How can you kill him?' Prophet Abraham, recognizing Satan the cursed, started to pelt him with seven stones until he went away. After that, Prophet Abraham moved to another place, where Satan once again returned and was pelted again by Prophet Abraham; then again, the action was repeated in another place. Satan always tries to separate people from their Lord. Eventually, when Prophet Abraham was poised to kill his son, his son was replaced with a Ram sent down by God. Prophet Abraham immediately realized that this was only a test from the Almighty. At Minna, pilgrims take part in a ritual known as the ramy, which is the throwing of seven stones at three monuments called Al-Jamarāt. Until today, millions of Muslims pass by three monuments and throw pebbles as a ritual, which symbolizes the reenactment of the actions of Prophet Ibrahim when he faced the trial of sacrificing his son. The three monuments or pillars in Mina represent the three places that the Devil tempted Prophet Abraham to forego the sacrifice. The throwing of the pebbles is purely symbolic. To this day, at the end of Hajj, Muslims annually sacrifice sheep, cows, camels, and goats in the millions; commemorating the spirit of Prophet Abraham peace be upon him, his intention, his sincerity, and his passion. The meat from the sacrifice is then given to the needy. During Hajj, Muslims also kiss a black stone, symbolizing their apperception of being invited to the house of the King of all Kings— our Lord, our Creator. Muslims also kiss the black stone in tradition of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. If they cannot kiss it, they can touch it or point in its direction. This stone was sent down from Heaven for Prophet Abraham peace be upon him, to be used for the construction of the sacred house. Buildings in ancient times often had cornerstones, and Prophet Abraham wanted a cornerstone for this house. Narrations describe the stone as being whiter than milk darkening slowly from the sins of humans until it morphed into a black stone. The black stone is the starting-point for tawaf — the circling of the Kabah. Hajj is completed by the act of men either shaving their heads or clipping their hair, and women cutting off a fingertip's length of their hair, to mark their partial deconsecration; a symbol of humility. Apart from Hajj, a minor pilgrimage known as Umrah is performed in the year's remainder.  The completion of Umrah does not fulfill the obligation of Hajj. Umrah is much shorter, lasting a few hours which entail the seven circumambulations of the Kabah and the light jogging between Mount Safa and Mount Mara. This spiritual journey known as Hajj boasts many benefits, including a powerful positive transformation that makes pilgrims more spiritual, righteous, softer, and better human beings overall. Pilgrims who embark on the journey of Hajj faithfully and sincerely are cleansed of all their previous sins, leaving them with a fresh start. Upon completion of Hajj, Muslims celebrate one of two Muslim Holidays called Eid Al-Adha. Muslims celebrate by praying to God and visiting family and friends to thank and praise God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon them.

Greta Thunberg cut a frail and lonely figure when she started a school strike for the climate outside the Swedish parliament building last August. Her parents tried to dissuade her. Classmates declined to join. Passersby expressed pity and bemusement at the sight of the then unknown 15-year-old sitting on the cobblestones with a hand-painted banner.

Topics We Cover On This Episode Does praying in front of an abortion facility really make a difference? And if so, how, exactly, can silent prayer at an abortion center change hearts and minds? Shawn Carney, Steve Karlen, and Sue Thayer discuss four ways your presence impacts the abortion center. Sue also talks about how comments from pro-life friends, family members, and pastors helped foster her conversion from Planned Parenthood manager to pro-life prayer warrior.  The four ways pro-life vigil participation saves lives Pro-life prayer in front of abortion centers impacts: Abortion workers enjoy making the big money that Planned Parenthood pays its employees. But when pro-lifers are on site praying for an end to abortion, productivity plummets, and employees are forced to grapple with their consciences.  Abortion center clients also find their consciences touched by pro-life vigils. A lot of them--as many as 75 percent--don't show up for their appointments when vigil participants are present.    Passersby sometimes insult and heckle you...but when you're out--particularly in bad weather--they are forced to reconsider the judgments and stereotypes they have developed toward pro-lifer women and men.  Prayer volunteers like you almost unanimously report spiritual growth as they pray in front of an abortion facility. One volunteer even described his first 40 Days for Life campaign as similar to going on a 40-day spiritual retreat.  Praying in public can cause us anxiety. But when we see the impact made when we confront our fears and pray in public, we realize we need not be afraid!

Tworzą nieprzerwany pochód zmęczonych, zatraconych w cierpieniu dusz. Ich pochód obserwuje z ganku, własnego domu pewna kobieta. Jest zrozpaczona, próbując wypatrzeć na zakurzonej drodze swojego męża. Wciąż ma nadzieje, że przeżył, że wróci do … Continue reading "Epizod #69 “Passersby”"

This week Kevin and Paul head on down the road and meet Mrs. Lavina Godwin, a Civil War widow who sits on the porch of her destroyed home and watches the walking wounded returning from the battlefield.

Outside the Ella Freeman Heritage House in Champney's West sits a curious artefact. Passersby might think it only an old piece of wood, but locals know it was the spar of the wrecked vessel Hazel Pearl. This spar was accidentally brought ashore by fisherman Wayne Freeman when it became tangled in his capelin seine several summers back. Documentary producer Rebecca Nolan presents a special episode which tells the full story of Hazel Pearl - where the ship came from, and how it ended up at the bottom of Trinity Bay.

A makeshift “black people”-only food cart caused plenty of indigestion Thursday in the Bronx, outraging onlookers who called the stunt racist. A man and a woman set up the cart around 9 a.m. outside Bronx Supreme Court, advertising their free doughnuts and juice on Styrofoam plates. Their three handmade signs read: “Free Food For Black People.” Passersby weren't amused. “Are you kidding me? If I did something like that, it would be considered hate,” railed one woman, who was repeatedly denied any grub when she confronted the duo. A young man running the cart also refused to serve a Post reporter. And the woman insisted the cart was not restricted to just African-Americans. “Mexican people are black,” she offered. The pair closed up shop around 10:30 a.m. ------------------------------ The U.S. voted against a U.N. Human Rights Council resolution that condemns the death penalty for those found guilty of committing consensual same-sex sexual acts. The resolution introduced by Belgium, Benin, Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia and Switzerland passed by a 27-13 vote margin. ------------------------------ A new report by Chicago's inspector general alleges millions in wasteful spending and widespread mismanagement of overtime pay in the Chicago Police Department. The issue was so important to the department that Superintendent Eddie Johnson said he had to address it himself, even though he isn't officially back on the job five weeks after he had a kidney transplant.

What do pigs have to do with piggyback rides? Martha and Grant have the answer. They also get a lesson from a listener in the fine art of speaking gibberish.
