President Cyril Ramaphosa YESTERDAY instructed the Minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube to fully implement the BELA Act. This after he signed a Presidential Proclamation bringing the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act into operation without changes to two contentious sections of the Act. The two clauses relate to the provincial department becoming responsible for admitting pupils into a public school and determining a school's language policy, taking away those responsibilities from school governing bodies. Those opposed to the Act had argued that the full implementation of the BELA Act would compromise the Afrikaans language. The DA had also threated that the party will withdraw from the Government of National Unity if President Ramaphosa orders its full implementation.

1)Israel Fighter Jets Strike Yemen: Responding to a Yemen-made SAMAD type drone strike on Tel Aviv, Israel F-15 and F-35 jets flew to Yemen and struck an oil refinery there. This was over 1,200 miles from Israel. How did they reach a target that far away?2)Why Was US Embassy In Israel Moved To Jerusalem?: During Donald Trump's Presidency, he ordered the US Embassy in Israel moved to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. This was done by Presidential Proclamation, despite being in violation of international law. Did his action undermine the rule of law?3)Israel President Netanyahu Visits Washington DC: This week, Israel's president Netanyahu is invited to speak at a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday. The day after, he is scheduled to meet Pres. Joe Biden to discuss the conflict in Gaza and measures to limit further expansion of conflict in the Middle East. What message do you think he will bring?4)The International Court of Justice Issues Ruling on Israel: The ICJ just issued an opinion declaring that Israel has been engaged in illegal settlement and annexation of Palestine territory, and ordered it to immediately stop such illegal action and return the territory to Palestinians. They claim this order is not subject to 'negotiation of lands' but just complete withdrawal from illegally occupied territory. What do you think?

Meet US Army Major Bernard Toney, Jr. (Retired) whose last duty station was none other than the White House Medical Staff. and was further assigned as the healthcare provider to the President of the United States, the Vice President, and their spouses. I bet that was like HIPAA on steroids. "During his service in the White House Medical Unit, he conducted 84 domestic and five overseas missions in support of the President and Vice President. Consequently, he assessed hospital systems and witnessed the social determinants of health that lead to health disparities and inequalities in the United States and worldwide. However, his first global health engagement was during a medical civic action program with villagers in southern Afghanistan in 2005 while serving in U.S. Army Special Operations."

Welcome to September 28th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate tickling the ivories and the folks on the porch next door. Before the piano arrived on the scene, the most popular keyboard instrument was the harpsichord. It made beautiful music, but its volume could not be varied while playing. Composers and musicians wanted an instrument with the ability for more controlled expression. This led Bartolomeo Cristofori to create an instrument that allowed musicians to alter volume and tone with the force of their fingers. He called it the piano. Well, technically the original name was much longer. We'll spare you the Italian name, but it translates to “soft and loud keyboard instrument.” September is National Piano Month and thanks to Mr. Cristofori, we can celebrate beautiful music in every genre from Classical to Rock. In the early 1970s, National Good Neighbor Day was created by Becky Mattson of Lakeside, Montana. What began as an effort to build goodwill in our communities, became a Presidential Proclamation in 1978. Jimmy Carter said: “... we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others. For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other the opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family…” On National Good Neighbor Day celebrate the spirit of friendship that has far reaching consequences.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Surprise, surprise! It was indeed a surprise when the storm and tornado hit Canistota last Friday evening. Oftentimes we read or hear about these stormy events, but it is another thing to experience it. For many there were tears over the losses. But what warm thoughts we have when we observe how a community works together and can stand stronger through life's storms. As we survived the tornado together, one could only observe a caring community and a community who really cares for one another. One cannot help but be reminded of the words of Philip Brooks who once said, "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger people. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks." Those thoughts inspire us to stand strong throughout the storm of life. Many families throughout our land were together for Mother's Day. It was a joy to have family over the weekend and overnight guests. And those grandchildren, with their abundant energy certainly can light up your life. And what memories can be made as families celebrate life together. Mother's Day was first observed in 1908. It was in 1914 when a Presidential Proclamation was issued to set aside the second Sunday in May for the observance of Mother's Day. Today, Mother's Day is observed throughout the country. Some countries observe it in a different month. South Dakota is honored to have Mrs. Margaret Connors from Vermillion as the South Dakota Mother of the Year. She represented our state of South Dakota in the 1993 National Mother Of The Year contest and convention in Raleigh, North Carolina recently. A reception will be held honoring her on May 16th, from 2-4pm at the Father Wolf Auditorium, St. Agnes in Vermillion. As we reflect upon some warm thoughts on motherhood and about our own mothers, one cannot help but realize that motherhood is the most important career that one could ever choose. God bless the mothers everywhere in this world. A Warm Thought for the week: No one is poor when he has had a godly mother. Have a week filled with warm and thankful thoughts!

Today, Indigenous Peoples Day is being observed in more than a dozen states. Maryland isn't among them. But the movement to ditch the traditional Columbus Day holiday is growing, in favor of celebrating the unique contributions Native Americans have made, and continue to make to our nation. Several cities in Maryland have replaced Columbus Day with the holiday to honor Native American history, including Baltimore, Washington DC, and more than 130 other cities, counties and school districts across the country do too. On Friday, President Biden issued the first ever Presidential Proclamation on Indigenous People's Day, which was widely seen as a major stride towards re-directing the focus of the federal Columbus Day holiday towards recognition of Native Peoples. It said, in part, “our Nation celebrates the invaluable contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples, recognizes their inherent sovereignty, and commits to honoring the Federal Government's trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.” Columbus Day is a federal holiday established by Congress. The President also issued a Columbus Day Proclamation, in which he acknowledged “the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities.

She is a member of the Oneida Tribal Nation and serves as Director of Strategic Partnerships and Communications at Cultural Survival, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based non-profit group that helps indigenous communities protect and preserve their cultural traditions.

Self-Care Isn't Selfish, So Why Not Dive Right In?! Welcome to September 28th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the folks on the porch next door and putting ourselves first. In the early 1970s, National Good Neighbor Day was created by Becky Mattson of Lakeside, Montana.  What began as an effort to build goodwill in our communities, became a Presidential Proclamation in 1978.  Jimmy Carter said: “As our Nation struggles to build friendship among the peoples of this world, we are mindful that the noblest human concern is concern for others.  For most of us, this sense of community is nurtured and expressed in our neighborhoods where we give each other the opportunity to share and feel part of a larger family…  On National Good Neighbor Day celebrate the spirit of friendship that has far reaching consequences.  While the month of September is nearly gone, there is still time to celebrate creating an important habit: taking better care of ourselves.  This is not about being selfish. It's a matter of making our own health and wellness a priority.  Self care can be as simple as pausing for a breath when we are feeling stressed to taking a more luxurious break when we need one.  Gandhi once advised us to “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Remember that kindness begins with treating yourself kindly.  During Self-Care Awareness Month celebrate the impact you make on those around you simply by treating yourself a little better.   I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Mr. Sallman serves as a labor representative on the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH) and NFPA’s 652 Technical Committee on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust. Leslie and Steve discuss Workers’ Memorial Day and the Trump administration’s responsibility to workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Coronavirus has introduced a host of new health and safety concerns into the workplace: both for essential workers who have been on the job for the past two months and for workers who will be entering the workplace again as the economy begins to reopen. During this pandemic, many USW members have been and continue to go to work each day in oil and chemical plants, paper and steel mills, hospitals, power plants, and many other workplaces. Unions, including the USW, have made a series of common sense recommendations and some employers have been taking steps to keep workers safe. However, there are still real challenges, including access to appropriate PPE, the need for appropriate distancing, still sometimes limited opportunities to regularly wash hands, and more. The biggest challenge has been a lack of leadership from the federal government, which has left everyone to tackle these problems piecemeal. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the agency charged with keeping workers safe, has been largely absent from this conversation. In March, a group of unions demanded that OSHA implement an emergency, temporary infectious disease standard that would specify the steps employers must take to keep workers safe. But OSHA still has not done so. Instead OSHA merely provided guidance that employers are free to accept or reject. As a result, since January, more than 3,000 workers contacted OSHA to complain about employers’ failure to take basic steps to protect them from COVID-19. Yet another problem is that OSHA has all but stopped investigating complaints. This has left the states, and other stakeholders, to fill in the holes. Oregon, for example, ramped up enforcement of state-level occupational safety rules and began spot checks of employers to ensure workers practice social distancing. The Trump administration has also targeted the Chemical Safety Board (CSB), which has broad bipartisan support, and rolled back chemical safety regulations. This week the USW marked Workers Memorial Day, a somber day that we observe every year in the fight for safe jobs. This year, their union remembered the 29 workers who were killed at USW-represented workplaces in the USA and Canada over the past twelve months. And, as they always do, they resolved to fight for the health and safety of their members and all workers. But in light of COVID, and the administration’s failure of leadership, they’re also mobilizing to fight for the safety of all workers by supporting H.R. 6559, The COVID-19 Every Worker Protection Act of 2020. This legislation would require OSHA to put out an enforceable standard for COVID-19. On April 28, 2016, Workers Memorial Day, President Obama signed a Presidential Proclamation. On April 28, 2020, Workers Memorial Day, President Trump keeps meatpacking hotspots open as he signed an executive order under the Defense Production Act to compel meat processing plants to remain open amid the coronavirus pandemic. The President should instead be using the DPA to mandate the production and distribution of personal protective equipment, while issuing an emergency temporary standard to protect workers from COVID-19. The USW's website is USW.org and their handle on Twitter and Instagram is @steelworkers.

Two actions of the Trump Administration have sought to make it practically impossible for women who are victims of intimate partner violence to apply for and be granted asylum in the United States. The first is an action by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to overturn a decision of the Board of Immigration appeals granting asylum to a woman who had survived horrific violence at the hands of her husband. The second is a Presidential Proclamation, accompanied by new federal regulations, that automatically denies asylum to persons entering the United States between designated border entry points.  Kate Jastram, a senior attorney at the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, discusses the lawfulness and morality of these decisions.

On 24 May 2017, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared Martial Law in Mindanao through Presidential Proclamation 216. This came after a botched military operation against an individual by the name of Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of the Maute Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, allegedly connected to ISIS. Under Martial Law, the Philippine military has intensified indiscriminate aerial bombing even as civilians are still trapped within the city. As Philippine authorities claim, 20-38 civilians have been killed, thousands have evacuated and taken refuge in several parts of Mindanao, while hundreds more were arrested.Even before PP216, state impunity perpetrated by the Armed Forces of the Philippines already claimed the lives of 34 people, mostly farmers and Lumads who are the indigenous peoples of Mindanao. They have been victims of politically-motivated extrajudicial killings, while 20 incidents of indiscriminate aerial bombings and operations have occurred since February this year.To discuss the situation in the philippines, Accent of Women speaks with Stephanie Rabusa, Chairperson of AnakBayan Melbourne. Later in the show, we speak with Joms Salvadore, secretary general of Gabriella Philippines, a progressive women’s organisation there, about the specific experiences in Mindanao.

REFLECTION QUOTES “Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor…Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be…And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.” ~George Washington, in his Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789 “…It is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon…” “…We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!” “It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.” ~A Presidential Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln on March 30,1863 SERMON PASSAGE 1 John 3:1-24 (NASB) 1See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; 12 not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him 20 in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. 24 The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

If you look at virtually any United States History book, any book, video, film, poem, or whatever, you will be told that the civil war ended with Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. But did it really? How do you define the end of a War, particularly a civil war. Most people will look at the end when the peace treaty is signed, but in a civil war there is really no peace treaty. So does it end with the first fighting force that surrenders, or the last? Does it end with the last battle? Does it end after all of these events, or when the goal of the war was accomplished? Or does it end when someone with the political power to say so says it has ended? This podcast explores the period between Appomattox Courthouse and the Presidential Proclamation announcing the end of the war. The nation, both of them, were tired of war. It was obvious to all that the Confederacy could not endure much longer. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/shotguns-and-sugar/donations
