Minbari Mondays (B5:s4e16) “Exercise of Vital Powers” Against The “Other” — Inspiring Critical Thinking and Community via Books, Lessons, and Story

So, Garibaldi, how do you decide what your new employer’s agenda is, and whether he is really telling you the whole truth? Edgars claims that Clark needs to be stopped, “but not by military action.” But how else could he be ethically and transparently stopped, rich guy? We know from previous episodes that Garibaldi is […]

The Power of Listening

Over the weekend, I decided to reorganize my bookshelves, and oh Lord, what a bigger task it was than I thought. I purchased a bookcase which was smaller, that my husband and I put together since I had books that needed to be properly housed other than on the floor. Then I came across the book “The Summer of Swans” by Betsy Byars, and decided to reread it.

The book surrounds a little boy who is non-verbal, and at the time this book was copywritten, he is deemed mentally retarded. In today’s terminology, he would probably be diagnosed as autistic. Charlie wanders off in the middle of the night, and of course, he gets lost, and no one knows where he is. His sister Sara usually looks after him but everyone is terrified of what could happen because of Charlie’s condition. When Sara and her friend…

The Week’s Best Cartoons 10/1 — Filosofa’s Word

An ‘epidemic of murder’: Are Russia’s millionaires dying to fund Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine? – ABC News

Rather, he said the deaths demonstrate President Putin’s desperation to maintain control of one of the most lucrative sectors in the Russian economy — the oil and gas industry.

“Vladimir Putin has been kneecapped by the sanctions,” he said.

“He’s the richest man in the world and he holds his money via these individuals called the Russian oligarchs, who have all been sanctioned.

“The only money that hasn’t really been sanctioned has been the revenues from the oil and gas industry, and he needs more money now to run his war.”

Mr Browder said they would be under pressure to provide some of that money to the Kremlin, and used the example of the chairman of Lukoil, Ravil Maganov, who was found dead on September 1.

“These people all sit in front of large cash flows or assets,” he said.

“I would suspect that this guy said “no” and then the best way of getting that flow of cash is to kill him and then ask his replacement the same question.

“I would suspect that Putin gets a cut of whatever redirected flows of money are resulting from these murders.”

Meet Austria’s young marmot whisperer. Eight-year-old Matteo Walch’s friendship with a clan of Alpine animals has spanned more than half his lifetime.“When we come, they run straight to him,” Matteo’s mother, Michaela Walch, a mathematics teacher and amateur photographer, told TODAY.com.

The mother-and-son team have been traveling from their home in Innsbruck to Hohe Tauern National Park in Grossglockner to spend time with the large ground squirrels since Matteo was just 3 years old.Like a horse whisperer or dog whisperer, the schoolboy has an uncanny ability to interact with the normally skittish wild animals — even greeting them nose to nose and having them climb in his lap
