Q. Was John the Baptist an Essene? If so then wouldn't Jesus have a direct link to the Qumran community?
A. The overwhelming consensus among scholars is that John the Baptist was neither an Essene nor a member of the Qumran community. Although there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence that John may have been affiliated with Qumran, there are several notable differences.
In particular, the New Testament describes John the Baptist as preaching an inclusive message to all Jews, regardless of sectarian persuasion. Not only did John encourage his countrymen to reclaim their birthright as sons of Abraham through a ritual act of repentance, but he challenged them to "bear fruits that befit repentance" (Luke 3:8) through acts of compassion.
By contrast, the Qumran community seems to have embraced a position of religious exclusivism whereby only those who had embraced the community's dualistic worldview and orthopraxy were eligible to call themselves the true Israel. Entry into the community was restricted to those who were perfect in body and mind and Qumran's ritual purifications were reserved for those who had undergone lengthy probationary periods. Social justice was not a pressing concern. If John the Baptist was affiliated with the Qumran community, he appears to have distanced himself from them and their teachings by the time he baptized Jesus in the river Jordan.

Qumran is a site that was inhabited by members of a Jewish sect—apparently Essenes—who deposited the Dead Sea Scrolls in the nearby caves.
Scholars notice differences and similarities between John the Baptist and the Qumranites (the community at Qumran that collected the Dead Sea Scrolls).
For ancient Jews, it was natural to divide things, people, and space into categories of pure and impure. It was simply a state of being.
Robert R. Cargill on who the Essenes may have been.
A collection of first-century Jewish and early Christian writings that, along with the Old Testament, makes up the Christian Bible.
An archaeological site on the western shore of the Dead Sea, in modern Israel, where a small group of Jews lived in the last centuries B.C.E. The site was destroyed by the Romans around 70 C.E. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in caves near the site and are believed by most scholars to have belonged to the people living at Qumran.
Collective ceremonies having a common focus on a god or gods.
Related to a particular religious subgroup, or sect; often used in reference to the variety of Jewish sects in existence in the Roman period in Judea and Samaria.

Only a minute walk from Rosenthaler Platz, a tiny park named the Koppenplatz hosts a memorial to the biggest theme in 20th centuries' history: the Holocaust. To be exact, the memorial remembers the round-ups of jews, prior to the deportations and the massacres. It is not a coincidence that the memorial ended up at the nowadays Koppenplatz.
In a way, its pre-history dates back to an order from 1737, when the contemporary King drove most of Berlin's jews to the Scheunenviertel. This neighbourhood had a rather short historical account back then. As a side-effect of the cattle market at the nowadays Alexanderplatz, many Scheunen (barns) were build in its direct surrounding – hosting piles of inflammable straw. As a safety regulation against the danger of fire, the local elector Friedrich Wilhelm I commanded to place the barns outside of the city in 1672. The Scheunenviertel (barns quarter) showed up the north of this cattle market. Secondly, the Koppesche Armenfriedhof (Poor man's graveyard) was situated around here since 1704. It was partly named after Christian Koppe, the city's advisor who realised it. In a pre-modern act of solidarity, he has also been buried here after his death in 1721
An already described decision would change the history of the Scheunenviertel forever. It was the year 1737 when the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I demanded all jews without to live outside of the city. Only jews who owned their own houses were allowed to stay inside Berlin's defensive walls. In addition, jews were only allowed to enter Berlin by the two northern gates. As a result, the Scheunenviertel became a destiny for many of the lower class jews. Their importance to the public sphere in this neighbourhood must have been immense. The Armenfriedhof on the contrary, stopped blossoming. A few years after the jewish Berliners moved to the Scheunenviertel and around, this graveyard didn't host the freshest corpses anymore. That means, officially – in fact, funerals in fact took place here for another century.
Since the late 1830s, the neighbourhood around the Armenfriedhof changed tremendously. Between 1835 and 1869, a senior house was build – albeit in three phases. The surrounding hood changed – especially in 1853, when the soil of the Armenfriedhof was released. In that year, the Große Hamburgerstrasse was lengthened and divided the former graveyard, while another by-street was constructed. It gave the shape to the Koppenplatz, which was also given its name by then. At the grave of Christian Koppe, an extensive place of honour was erected two years later.
During the next couple of decades, classic tenements were constructed and populated by the poor. Up till the first decade of the 20th century, the surrounding area was filled by tenements, the senior house and a school. The Scheunenviertel became known of the most densely populated urban areas of Berlin. Of course, it was not only populated by the jews who initially came here. As usual for a capital, it attracted many immigrants. Throughout the 19th century, they were often jews from East Europe – who fled for anti-semitic pogroms once again. Although they -and many others- used Berlin as a stopping place to head towards the promising continent abroad the ocean, I've got the impression that many of them could not continue their journey – and were stuck in this particular part of the German capital.
The Scheunenviertel may have gone through various phases, but the Koppenplatz itself didn't stay the same either. By the end of the 19th century, the notorious architect Hermann Mächtig edited it into an urban square. Erwin Barth, whose name you may remember from my update about the Luisenstädtischer Kanal, changed the square into a park in 1927. A few years later, the nazi's changed the Koppenplatz again – although I'm unsure into what exactly. By 1940 though, two underground air-raid shelters were constructed here by French Prisoners of War. The Scheunenviertel, where many of the jews lived who were too impecunious to leave Nazi Germany, became the stage of anti-semitic violence and deportations.
The square became part of the GDR's East-Berlin. The entrances to the bunkers were blocked, while the bunker remained undamaged. For this reason, the Koppenplatz are still a bit heigtened. Also, a playground for children was erected at the southern side of the park. Here, a statue named 'Geschwister' (Siblings) was constructed in 1968. Nothing honoured the past of a jewish neighbourhood for another few decades. Not before 1988, when the November pogrome fifty years earlier was remembered, the East Berlin authorities asked its inhabitants for a fitting monument to the deportations which the Scheunenviertel witnessed. From the seventy contributed designs, the memorial of a deserted room by Karl Biedermann was chosen. The bronze sculpture is made and revealed to the audience in 1996. In addition, a poem Nelly Sachs is there to be read. The Schöneberg born poet, who made her way to Sweden in 1940, wrote in 1947:
…O die Wohnungen des Todes,
Einladend hergerichtet
Für den Wirt des Hauses, der sonst Gast war –
O ihr Finger
Die Eingangsschwelle legend
Wie ein Messer zwischen Leben und Tod
O ihr Schornsteine,
O ihr Finger,
Und Israels Leib im Rauch durch die Luft!
Which could be translated by the following:
…Oh the houses of death, invitingly appointed,
for the landlord of the house who was once a guest.
Oh you fingers, laying the threshold – like a knife between life and death.
Oh, you chimney stacks, oh you fingers,
and the body of Israel going up in smoke!
All in all, I think that the Koppenplatz covers a lot of history which is not to be seen anymore. Here, I'm not only stating the underground WWII shelters which are withdrawed from the public eye. Also, no traces of the Armenfriedhof –showing mercy to the poor during the 18th and 19th century- are not to be found back. In despite of the modesty which the poor once helped, the only thing that reminds of the Armenfriedhof is the luxuous grave -if it isn't worth calling a tombe- of Christian Koppe. Most of all, the centuries-old jewish presence of the Scheunenviertel is not to be found back. Once being forced to live here, the two ages of jewish presence have been wiped out by the cruelest way imaginable. Although it is said that the most jewish culture and institutes is still to be found in this area, I think one has to be trained to find these. The monument to remember the violent event, stating a clear message in a minimal way, also loudly speaks out by being silent.

Workers compensation insurance pays for expenses related to injuries employees suffer that are caused by on-the-job accidents. Workers compensation insurance can also provide coverage if an employee develops an illness caused by exposure to conditions in the workplace or at a work site. This insurance will cover costs associated with medical care to treat the injury or illness, costs for rehabilitation, and lost wages if the employee is unable to work because of the injury or illness.
Workers compensation laws vary from state to state. All Connecticut businesses with employees, or uninsured subcontractors, are required to carry workers compensation insurance to protect their employees. Businesses that fail to carry workers compensation insurance will be responsible for costs associated with work-related injuries or illnesses that employees experience. Business owners who are required by law to have insurance but do not comply can also face fines and other penalties for failing to follow the law.
Sole proprietors and members of single member LLCs are automatically excluded from workers comp. policies, but may opt-in. Corporate officers and members of multi-member LLCs are automatically included but may opt-out.
If your company is required by Connecticut law to obtain workers compensation insurance, it is essential that you do so. Not having workers compensation insurance can expose your company to potentially devastating financial repercussions if an employee experiences a serious work-related injury or illness. Not complying with Connecticut law can also make your company subject to financial penalties.
Connecticut law requires employers to purchase workers compensation insurance coverage from a private insurance company. Petruzelo Insurance offers workers compensation coverage for Connecticut businesses of all sizes. We can help you compare rates from leading insurance companies and choose the coverage that is best for your business. Contact Petruzelo today to compare quotes for workers compensation insurance to protect your employees and your business.

Weaponising sexist stereotypes against themselves | Roxman Gatt
Malta-born, UK-based artist Roxman Gatt speaks to TEODOR RELJIC about her upcoming musical performance show My Womxn is a God My God is a Womxn, whose title implies the multifarious ways in which the female figure can be celebrated in a world that has historically and persistently been hostile to it
How would you describe your evolution as an artist, and what would you say were some of the most consistent thematic or conceptual concerns and preoccupations of yours, that you've held on to since you first began making art until now?
I left home around 11 years ago to study in London, where I am based, and unlike the UK did with the EU, I 'remained'. It is a blurred journey of many life experiences that have shaped me as the artist I am today, with all the good, bad, and in-between implied within.
I feel very lucky to be surrounded by beautiful talented creatures who have refused to follow and live within the constraints of societal norms, who have created their own (queer as fuck) alternative worlds where love thrives and differences are celebrated and welcomed.
Being born in a very conservative and Catholic country has impacted me and my work a lot. Religion used to be a major theme in the work, and as a matter of fact still is... it's unavoidable, really. However, I don't ever come to it separately, it comes as part of a bigger research area. I am intrigued and fascinated by many things around me, however I do have subject areas that I am constantly referencing and will always feature heavily in my work, some of which are: gender, identity, sexuality, love, loneliness, car crashes, consumption, production, the fetishisation of inanimate objects and macho culture.
Could you tell us a little bit about My Womxn is a God My God is a Womxn, your contribution to the Art+Feminism series of events at Spazju Kreattiv?
Boiling it down, I would say it's mainly a 'fuck you' to the patriarchy, while also aiming to be a celebration of womxn in all their variety. I was reading a lot about witches and mothers around the same time I was first conceiving of the project, and also wrote this song with the title 'Hag'. I eventually started looking into derogatory terms used for womxn. My intention was to reclaim these words and celebrate their meanings through movement, sound, video painting and sculptural works.
How does it feel to be forming part of Art+Feminism? Would you say a particular emphasis on feminism is necessary for the Maltese cultural context?
I am psyched, and very grateful to [curator Margerita Pule] for inviting me over and welcoming this performance. I find Malta exciting, and maybe even more important sometimes to exhibit my work, specifically work such as 'My Womxn is a God my God is a Womxn'. The country is still suffering greatly from certain inbuilt tropes concerning gender and sexuality. In my eyes, feminism is non-existent over there. I see mothers, wives, daughters who are exceptional human beings, but they are so heavily influenced by this patriarchal system that they aren't even aware of this, they continue to accept suffering and being mistreated as if this is most natural thing in the world. I could write so much about this, but it is coming from an angry place which I don't wish to put forward here.
So what I'd like to add is this: I would hope to see as many womxn come along to this show and hopefully feel some empowerment or energy… and if not, just do some dancing have a drink and talk more about the real important things.
What do you make of the local musical scene? What would you change about it?
I think there is good stuff happening, such as Malta Sound Women Network, Bewyld festival, Kinemastik after parties and other people who have kept me on the dance floor till the early morning hours with their sexy tunes. Though I wish that there are more people doing crazy shit, my idea of the music scene is either very mainstream or still very 'indie'… it lacks in variety and it is very safe and straight, personally I haven't really been excited by much. I also think that we should make an effort to integrate the 'mainstream' scene with the 'alternative' scene, maybe some interesting things could emerge from that.
What's next for you?
As I always say, food and sex… Seriously though, I should be having a show at the end of March, and I'm also part of this year's peer forum at Camden Arts Centre. I will be working alongside 15 other artists, and our group will be exploring the importance of collective affection and how artists can organise, communicate, present themselves and work towards social change by sharing a more personal and intimate voice through their work.
Roxman Gatt will be performing My Womxn is a God My God is a Womxn on February 28 and 29 at 8pm at MUŻA, Valletta. The show forms part of the Strangers in a Strange Land exhibition and performance series, which is in turn a part of Spazju Kreattiv's Art+Feminism 2020 Project, in collaboration with Wikimedia Community Malta.

Do you know why superman man has superpowers? It's because he's wearing compression gears (minus his cape and his supposed-to-be-underwear overgarment). You can also notice that swimmers, football players, and weightlifters are wearing them too! Did this form-fitting, superhero-like clothing make them superb?
All kidding aside, there are many sports equipment and apparel that play significant roles in one's optimum athletic performance, apart from sports and physical capabilities. Along with compression garments, here are four essential items that can boost your athleticism.
Compression Garments
The usage of compression garments has its roots in the medical field. This is medically used to increase blood flow and disperse lymphatic fluid. With their medical background and health benefits, compression garments became a trend in sports and workout training.
Specifically, compression accelerates your recovery by improving your blood circulation back to the heart, inducing the exchange of nutrients and oxygen for waste products in your bloodstream. As a result, this clothing is now worn by many for their one's post-competition or post-workout recovery phase.
To add, listed down is the other benefits you can get from wearing compression garments:
- Draws sweat away
- Shortens recovery period
- Increases muscle oxygenation, especially in the lower extremities
- Reduces perceived exertion
- Decreases edema symptoms
- Relieves pain
- Reduces muscle fatigue
- Improves athletic performance
This said compression involves pressures ranging from 20 to 40 mL of mercury, which is used depending on the clinical indication. In general, higher compression is used during exercises, while lower compression is applied during recovery.
Foam Roller
Using foam roller is well-known as one of the key precursors to a dynamic warm-up as it evokes self soft-tissue mobilization (SSTM). SSTM offers a myriad of benefits such as:
- Decreases lactic acid level
- Decreases muscle fibrosis or scar tissues
- Lowers the chances and risks of injury
- Improves muscle tightness and flexibility
- Increases blood flow
- Improves movements
- Encourages a range of motion
- Decreases recovery time
Moreover, it's simple to use for one's self-myofascial release or self-massage. In case you're not familiar with the term, self-myofascial release is a habit of many weightlifters or athletes, where they apply low-intensity forces on their soft tissues using their body weight against the roller for some time.
Along with the abovementioned benefits of SSTM, the self-myofascial release offers a lightened internal rubbing that improves both blood and nutrient flows and relaxes contracted muscles, allowing muscles to operate with smoother motion. Its health benefits improve fitness at a very reasonable price (more or less 30$).
Knee Sleeves
Have you ever noticed those sleeves placed in the knees of most NBA players or some of the Olympics participants? Those are knee sleeves, which are totally different from knee braces. Knee sleeves are used to protect knees from 'future' injuries or risks of physical damage, whereas knee braces are worn to keep 'previous' or 'present' injuries from further damages.
Here's a guide in picking the right knee sleeves thickness for you:
- light, best worn when carrying light equipment
- ideal for athletes in long-distance and endurance training
- helps wearer regain control over their knee movements, especially when feeling worn out after training or a game
1.5 mm
- a typical type that can be used for most sports and extra knee support when training at the gym
- best for mixed activities, like sports or training that requires both agility and support
1.7 mm
- offers powerful stabilization
- ideal for heavy lifting and rehabilitation as an extra support
- initially worn by weightlifters, but many athletes wear it nowadays as this kind provides a sharp receptive input of the knee that can sure precise and secure performance of activities, which is beneficial for many sports
Knee sleeves also function as a mechanical support mechanism for athletes' joints. Wearing them reduces pain and swelling that may occur during or after a workout, training, or game. It also increases blood flow that is essential for one's recovery.
Further, all of this happens because these sleeves compressed your knees, allowing blood to flow smoothly in the blood vessels. In brief, compression added with better blood flow is equals to better recovery.
In addition to its compression factor, studies show that knee sleeves also improve both knee joint proprioception and kinesthesia. In simple terms, proprioception is the awareness of the position of joints, while kinesthesia is the perception of the movement of joints.
The sleeves' compression causes the skin to move over underlying subcutaneous tissue and muscles. As a result, the athletes would have a better realization of distance and muscles moved, suggesting a development in kinesthesia and proprioception, respectively.
Athletic and Kinesiology Tapes
Apart from knee sleeves, athletic or kinesiology tapes are also scientifically found to improve one's proprioception and overall athletic performance. It all started when a high-profile beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh wore these tapes during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and piqued the interests of many from weekend warriors to world-class competitors.
Athletic tapes are thick and non-elastic rolls that immobilize injured muscle groups or joints to provide stability and support to the affected area. Kinesiology tapes, on the other hand, are elastic ones that offer therapeutic benefits for areas that need recovery.
How can these strips of tapes make a dramatic difference in one's athletic performance? Studies show that, when placed on the skin, kinesiology tape can prevent the pathways of pain signals to reach the brain. As a result, they'll more likely decrease the risks of muscle spasms, and increase muscle tone, improving your athletic performance.
Additionally, these tapes can also offer a number of recovery benefits, including:
- Provides support on injured or weakened body areas
- Reduces injury risks
- Reduces inflammation
- Delays muscle fatigue
- Realigns joint tissues
- Reduces pain
For severe injuries where a single, small movement of the injured area may cause other damage, use athletic tapes for support. The said tape will be tightly wrapped over the injury that may cause moisture and lead to irritation, so don't leave the tape on the affected area for too long.Copyright © 2021 Completesports.com All rights reserved.

Terrible advice Jake… what makes use of become discarding a variety of individuals for intimate satisfaction nowadays becomes discarding a variety of our subsequent life lovers for gratifying ourselves when you look at the fantasy relationship we think we deserve or at the least until we find a way to fool ourselves to think this 1 its, or to genuinely believe that such thing occur. Good work reinforcing this childish mythic. Then just think for a second, what if men are polygamous by nature and society forces everyone to hold men to such arbitrary standards that paramount to asking someone to change their sexual orientation if you really want to know why im so mean. We bet even you Jake, yes you wartch porn almost certainly as often as any kind of guys (that is a complete great deal) and imagine other ladies. address Some would say that is not real, but how about it is psychological effect? Or in addition to this, think about your orgasm you imagine someone else in porn that you feel when? Is the fact that orgasm perhaps maybe not genuine?
I recently want to no in case it is right if my buddy speaks to my spouse about their problems whenever I am perhaps not house
My hubby of 24 years had an 10 12 months event. Three of those years had been physical and 6 years proceeded within the phone with sexting, images and videos. The feminine he cheated with ended up being their best friends wife. My hubby states she was just a dump station that he has a sex problem and. He stated there clearly was no attraction to her, it absolutely was just sex. Him, he begged me for another chance and told me how much he loved me and always have when I caught. I'm sorry, We don't realize that types of love. Why most of a unexpected love me personally?

Des Moines, October 3, 2018—Iowa voters can find information about the professional qualifications and background of every judge on the November 6 retention ballot at the Iowa Judicial Branch website—www.iowacourts.gov.
The 2018 Iowa Voters Judicial Directory contains biographies of each judge on the ballot. These biographies include information about each judge's background and education, career, and professional activities. The directory also contains information about Iowa's judicial retention process, as well as factors voters may want to consider when deciding whether to retain a justice or judge.
Today, The Iowa State Bar Association released the results of a performance evaluation by Iowa lawyers, providing Iowa voters with additional information about judges on the ballot. The evaluation asks members of the association to rate judges on a number of issues, including knowledge and application of the law, temperament, communication skills, timeliness of rulings, and impartiality. The performance evaluation also asks lawyers to state whether each judge should be retained.
In 1962, Iowa voters approved a constitutional amendment that replaced the unpopular process of selecting judges by general elections based on political party politics with a nonpartisan merit selection and retention process. In the merit selection system, a nonpartisan commission reviews the qualifications of applicants for judicial office. Once the commission screens and interviews applicants, it forwards a slate of nominees to the governor who makes the final appointment. Merit selection and retention focuses on the professional qualifications of judges—experience, legal expertise and knowledge, judicial temperament, and promotion of a fair, impartial, and accountable judiciary.
After serving a full year on the bench, every justice and judge must stand for retention at the next general election, and then near the end of each regular term of office. In a retention election, judges do not have opponents. Instead, voters decide whether to retain a judge based on the judge's professional competency. If a judge receives a majority of "yes" votes, the judge may serve another full term.

Research Paper Title
Child Soldiers in Genocidal Regimes: The Cases of the Khmer Rouge and the Hutu Power.
Genocide is one of the worst things one can imagine throughout the history of humanity. But in the cases of Cambodia and Rwanda this was even more serious as children were used as instruments of the massacres.
Both the Khmer Rouge and the Hutu regime had their specific reasons for this act.
The number of victims surpasses the millions, who either lost their lives, or suffered from various kinds of violence, because the young perpetrators were also victims, who carry the invisible scars in their souls.
These historical examples are warnings for the international community to be active in situations like these, and stand up for the defenceless ones.

This is part of our Decade Rewind, which runs throughout November. Keep up as we look back at the best, worst, and otherwise interesting movies and shows of the 2010s.
As television has continued to grow and expand over the past decade, being a TV viewer has become overwhelming. Keeping up with all the good television shows on various streaming services and networks can feel impossible, but the influx of ways to watch TV has allowed more diverse stories to reach audiences. This decade, we've seen the consequences of what critics refer to as "Peak TV," but we've also seen how women went from being strong supporting characters to the stars of acclaimed shows.
"Peak TV" really began with The Sopranos and continued throughout the early 2000s with similar stories of troubled men in moments of crisis. Willa Paskin explains this moment in time for Slate: "It identifies a real phenomenon, the boom in ambitious television that arose in the wake of The Sopranos, while also functioning as a gravitas-laden phrase that boosted the medium of television itself — helping it ascend from the strictly lowbrow trenches where the idiot box and its offerings had long been banished."
The shows that followed The Sopranos were equally as layered and dynamic, but they continued to focus on men. The trope seemed to be the crowning formula for "Peak TV" dramas.
However, the shows that come to mind when we talk about "Peak TV" have also brought some of the greatest female characters we've seen on television. Peggy Olsen from Mad Men. Dr. Jennifer Melfi from The Sopranos. Kima Greggs from The Wire. What was disappointing about watching these shows for those characters is that we would only ever get fleeting moments of them. No matter how big their side plots would be, we always returned to the male star.
All of the aforementioned shows are remembered because they're fantastic shows. While they were focused on white men, their success and what Paskin refers to as "helping [television] ascend" broadened what stories filled our television screens, including shows focused solely on women. Women's stories have been treated with the same consideration as the male stories that came before them; they are no longer supporting characters on great shows, but have shows of their own. To understand just how much television has evolved to accommodate female stories, let's take a look at some of the great women we've watched over the past decade and the themes their shows discuss.
Working through trauma
One thread that runs between several great shows about women this decade is trauma. Some of the most compelling stories have involved women experiencing or recovering from trauma. Trauma comes in different forms and it can be systematic like in The Handmaid's Tale and Orange Is the New Black.
The dystopian world of The Handmaid's Tale puts the women in Gilead through horrible experiences, and aspects of the show speak to issues growing in our society. June (Elisabeth Moss) is the kind of character that makes watching such a bleak show rewarding. She's a conniving survivor despite the hell she goes through in the show. The trauma she and the other women face in the show is horrific, but hopefully, it sheds a light on the similar views on women that extend beyond the fictional place of Gilead and into our society today.
Orange Is the New Black features a large cast of fantastic women who embody a wide range of stories within the prison. Piper (Taylor Schilling) eventually becomes the least interesting character in the show, but she still tells a story we didn't see in the previous decade of television. Piper, who is ignorant of anything outside of her privileged life before she is sent to prison, learns about the women's lives in prison and becomes enlightened to aspects of society she's ignored. Piper is a gateway for the audience to explore these heartbreaking stories of abuse, neglect, and poverty. The trauma and mistreatment that the women face in and out of jail is largely a systematic issue of the prison system, which hasn't been featured on television until this decade.
Showing personal trauma that women face can be upsetting, but it is a necessary part of telling women's stories. There have been fantastic shows that feature women dealing with trauma as real women do every day. Big Little Lies had one of the greatest first seasons of the decade. Based on the novel by Liane Moriarty, the series focuses on an unknown tragedy that is hidden from audiences until the end. We slowly watch what leads up to the finale and the trauma that the women in the show experience that leads them to kill a man. Jane (Shailene Woodley) raises the son she had after being raped by a stranger. Celeste (Nicole Kidman) struggles to leave her horrible abusive husband and sees the signs of his violence in her sons.
These women keep these issues to themselves to uphold a perfect image in their rich community, but it hurts them even more. At the end of the season, all of the women in the show become united by the traumatic experience they endure, creating a bond of sorts. What happens to Jane and Celeste is upsetting to watch, but how they survive is more moving in ways other shows that refrain from showing women struggle cannot be.
Other shows that deal with women's trauma from this decade are Sharp Objects, Top of the Lake, and The Sinner.
Spotlight on Sex
Along with giving a voice to women's struggles, the shows of this decade have also opened up the opportunity to speak about women's sexuality. There have been crude shows about men who love sex, but for a long time, women's interest in sex was rarely represented on television, perhaps never outside of Sex and the City.
Comedy is one place where women can outwardly joke about sex. Abbi (Jacobson) and Ilana (Glazer) are never shy about their sexuality and the fluidity of their desires on Broad City. In the show, they address aspects of sex that had been taboo for women to joke about on television. As the show came to an end this decade, it reflected how the political climate affected women and how they feel in their bodies as well. The show was able to address political issues like abortion while shining a positive light on women's desires and sexuality beyond heterosexuality as well.
One of the best shows of the decade also dealt with sex, but in a different way. Fleabag is a blunt dark comedy about its title character's sex addiction and how it complicates her life and those around her. There are hilarious scenes in the show that joke about explicit sex, but there are often the same scenes that break the audience's hearts. Fleabag's sex life affects and reflects her emotional well-being. The show does a monumental job of showing the complex relationship women have with sex that can be positive and negative.
Other shows that feature women candidly talking about sex are Tuca & Bertie, Mrs. Fletcher, I Love Dick, and Girls.
Older Women of television
In past decades, women in acclaimed shows had to fit certain stereotypes. If they were objects of desire, they needed to be young and beautiful. If they were in power, they needed to be young and beautiful. Even if they were a mother, they needed to look young and beautiful. Even if television shows did feature older women within realistic standards, they were never the focus of the show. Thankfully, we've gotten to see some older women on television in the past decade that are more realized as characters and given the same consideration as the older men we've built shows around during the previous decade of "Peak TV."
Grace & Frankie is the most obvious example, which features Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as recently divorced older women connected by the fact that their ex-husbands have been in love with each other. The two women get into just as much trouble and have just as much fun as the younger women we see in comedic television shows. It's a delight to watch and utilizes these two comedic geniuses and their age as an asset.
Other shows that feature glorious older women are Veep, Downton Abbey, and Call the Midwife.
More than just victims
Women have been a huge part of true crime since the dawn of the genre, but at times, they have simply been a number to discuss the mind of a killer. True crime as a whole has become a bigger part of entertainment in the past decade with the rise of true crime podcasts. Several networks and streaming services have capitalized on the desire for true crime content by cranking out captivating documentaries and docuseries. While not all of them have focused on women in meaningful ways, multiple examples depict women as more than just another victim.
The Keepers starts as an investigation into the unsolved murder of a Catholic school nun, but it becomes a deep dive into the sexual abuse that happened at the school. The murder of Nun Cathy Cesnik was just one evil of many happening at the school, and the most devastating crime in the series is how the women had to fight to convince authorities that they were abused as children at the school. The series highlights the bravery of the women who faced the public to condemn the church for allowing the priest to continue working for the church after they knew how he had treated the girls of the school.
Many people remember the case involving Lorena Bobbitt because she cut off her husband's penis, but few remember her part of the story. The Amazon docuseries Lorena retells the story of her trial and the media storm that surrounded Lorena in the 1990s. It explores the horrendous way the media portrayed her, the lasting effect the case had on her life, and how her husband gained fame from the case despite being accused of raping his wife repeatedly. Lorena is finally given the chance to speak about what it felt like to be judged by the entire country.
Murder on the Bayou investigates the murders of eight women in the "ghettos" of Louisiana and the police corruption that left their murders unsolved. The series challenges the idea that these women didn't matter because they were addicted to drugs or participated in sex work to survive, and it shows how they were taken advantage of by police and ripped from their families without any explanation. It's a heartbreaking series, but it takes into consideration the lives of women that never get the sensational news story even though they matter just as much as any rich white murder victim.
Other true crime shows that focus on women: Evil Genius, The Act (technically dramatized true crime), and Amanda Knox.
There have been so many fantastic shows about women this decade that it's impossible to talk about them all in one article. It's important to seek out diverse stories so that networks to continue to make them. Thankfully, the follow up to "Peak TV" was a decade full of variety on television, and here's to hoping that continues into the next decade.

Swarthmore Faculty Navigate Shift to Virtual Learning
When the College announced in late June that it would offer academics in a mostly virtual format, Krista Thomason considered a mix of in-person and remote learning, but didn't think it would feel authentic. Her focus soon shifted to how she would feel productive and also safe while teaching.
Remote instruction became the clear choice for Thomason, but the process to implement the plan is complicated.
"You can't just take an in-person class and plunk it online," says Thomason, associate professor of philosophy. "You have to rethink the entire structure."
"I had to really think about which parts of the lab experience are most important to our students and could be done remotely," adds Vince Formica, associate professor of biology. "I think the most important thing for this semester is to be nimble and work with the students to figure out what works and what we need to change on the fly."
Faculty from all corners of the College have been grappling with that challenge for months, devising strategies to bring the key elements of traditional instruction to an online platform and to maximize new opportunities to engage students through technology. They have approached this significant challenge with their trademark commitment and creativity.
In an ordinary summer, the faculty in Educational Studies would be coordinating with local schools for students to do fieldwork; for Associate Professor Elaine Allard '01's course Educating Emergent Bilinguals, the students typically spend three hours a week with bilingual students in Philadelphia schools that serve predominantly immigrant communities.
"This semester, they'll do fieldwork by mentoring small groups of seniors at our partner school, via weekly Zoom conversation, and by viewing and discussing classroom video," says Allard.
Formica is taking a similar tack, creating short videos of lectures that students can watch when they are best able to focus. They will then meet weekly, in small groups, to delve more deeply into the material.
"I decided that designing experiments, analyzing data, and writing were the skills I really needed to impart on my students," says Formica, who also plans to deploy data collected by students in past years.
Also emphasizing a combination of video and small-group interactions are Richter Professor of Political Science Carol Nackenoff, whose students will view films that they will then discuss in breakout rooms, with students rotating as the discussion leaders, and Professors of Computer Science Lisa Meeden and Rich Wicentowski, whose introductory course this fall will feature an extensive collection of classroom videos that combine digital whiteboard explanations with live coding examples.
"The students will be expected to watch these videos prior to attending class synchronously via Zoom, where we will spend class time interactively discussing and fine-tuning their solutions to the exercises," says Meeden.
But pivoting to video has been a greater challenge in other disciplines. Professor of Engineering Carr Everbach says he "contrived to be the 'hands'" of his lab group that will learn remotely this fall, acting on the students' instructions as they guide him to run experiments, collect data, and load the data into Moodle for further analysis. The only problem? Videography.
"It's hard enough to conduct experiments in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics without also being the videographer and Zoom monitor," says Everbach, who hopes to hire a student to take video.
And then there is one of the greatest creative challenges of all: moving musical performance classes to virtual. You can't have real-time musical collaboration of more than a few people online, notes Andrew Hauze '04, senior music lecturer, and stitching together prerecorded videos of group members playing their own parts is "utterly different to that of making music in the same space with others."
This fall, the students in Hauze's wind and orchestra ensembles will meet online each week to rehearse. Since students will have to mute themselves on Zoom, lest it "sound like utter cacophony," notes Hauze, he won't be able to offer corrections or input in real time. In response, Hauze made practice recordings for which he recorded each part on piano, overdubbed with all of the other parts; students can download a recording for their instrument with the sound of their part in the right ear, and the sound of the other instruments in their left ear.
"That way, when they're practicing, students can be sure that they have the correct notes and rhythms and hear how their part fits into the whole, so that we can focus on the bigger picture of how the music is put together during our weekly meetings," Hauze says.
"We will prepare at least one piece for an eventual 'virtual ensemble' release on YouTube," he adds, "but the main goal of our work together is to keep honing our skills as instrumentalists and to deepen our understanding of the music that we're playing."
These and other innovative approaches to virtual learning have bubbled up across the College in recent months, following four pedagogy sessions with faculty designed to help them maximize the value of virtual learning and give them a forum to talk with one another about the challenges that come with making the adjustment.
Among the discussion points were how to think about trauma-informed pedagogy; what went well in virtual learning last spring and could be maintained and/or improved; grading, exams, and other student assessments; the particulars of teaching classes of different sizes and types; building community remotely; and establishing community guidelines for Zoom.
The Libraries and the Writing Center also held sessions to help familiarize faculty with available technological tools and rethink writing assignments and grading, says Lynne Steurle Schofield '99, associate dean of faculty for diversity, recruitment, and retention.
"We've also worked closely with the Dean of Students Office and Office of Academic Success to coordinate across all the many shifts: course scheduling, advising, room reservations, the new student Academic Fair, and more," says Schofield.
Also integral to the shift to virtual has been Information Technology Services (ITS), which held a series of well-attended workshops in which faculty demonstrated the values of online tools such the whiteboard program Explain Everything and the communication platform Slack.
ITS also adapted five smaller classrooms as remote learning studies, based on a design from Johns Hopkins University, which allow for more dynamic remote teaching and better-recorded lectures and teaching materials.
"The idea has been met with great enthusiasm from faculty who will have access to the first of these spaces this week," says Michael Jones, director, Language and Media Centers and MakerSpace.
The department gave more than 50 iPads to faculty (doubling the number it has distributed in recent years), and partnered with departments in the sciences and languages to obtain low-cost graphics tables on which students can collaborate online. ITS has also facilitated the use of the collaborative annotation software Hypothesis, which allows students to share reading notes, do online quizzes through Moodle, and use discussion forums like Piazza to help stay connected with the class and one another.
Other discoveries for faculty have come in unexpected places. Liz Vallen, the Howard A. Schneiderman Professor of Biology, has been taking part in virtual sessions held by the Summer Institutes on Scientific Teaching, culling interesting ideas each week.
"I've been thinking a lot about icebreaker activities to build community even when we cannot be physically together, and have some fun ideas for Bio 1 and my advanced seminar," says Vallen, citing the Flipgrid program that lets you create quick, fun videos for making introductions or answering questions.
Thomason, too, is looking toward the new semester with excitement — in particular, her Peace and Political Philosophy class, for which students will write real scholarly letters to one another and, as their final assignment, to Thomason.
"We're far apart, and this is an intimate form of communication: scholarly but conversational," she says.
For all of the challenges of this fall semester, Thomason notes, it also presents opportunities to experiment: "I feel more free to try things I've never thought I could do."

Eating oily fish and fresh legumes delays the onset of natural menopause by around 3 years, shows a new published analysis of data from the UK Women's Cohort Study (UKWCS).
Higher intake of vitamin B6 and zinc were also associated with modestly delayed menopause.
But consuming refined pasta and rice was linked to an earlier natural menopause by 1.5 years, and likewise, vegetarian women had an earlier natural menopause than nonvegetarians.
The research, the first of its kind in UK women, was led by Yashvee Dunneram, MSc, from the University of Leeds, UK, and published online April 30 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, her son, Abhimanyu Dassani had talked about spending most of the lockdown with his parents at home. The young actor had revealed, "My mom (actress Bhagyashree) was happy that I was spending time at home. But now, even my family has had enough of me." He had also revealed that he is quite good at cooking and his culinary skills came as a rescue during the lockdown. Stating how he had cooked some meals for his mom, the actor had shared, "I cook once every two days, and mom really enjoys it. She doesn't tell me to cook, but just says, 'I want to eat pasta today,' and that is my cue."

Bhagyashree's son, Abhimanyu had made his Bollywood debut with the film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and had won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. In an interview with Pinkvilla's Dear Mom, Bhagyashree had opened up about leaving stardom to raise her kids. Bhagyashree had graced the show with her son, Abhimanyu and when she was asked whether leaving movies was a difficult decision for her and she had replied, "Yes, and no. It was a tough call because I had realised that I do enjoy acting and I was like I wish I had the possibility of managing both. But no, because he just took over my life. My entire focus and happiness had him with me. At that point, it was not a tough choice. All that I wanted to do was spend time with him."

A Sympathy card
I haven't made a challenge card today. At work on sunday, a lovely couple who are very regular customers came in and told me their daughter had died last thurs, she was only 49, perfectly healthy and they had no idea why it happened, they were in such shock, it was truly awful to see. I have made this simple sympathy card to give them when I next see them.
I have never really made a sympathy card before so kept it relatively simple with a simple embossing folder, some flowers, lace and butterfly.
I found the sentiment verse on line and printed it off myself, I hope it lets them know how saddened I am for their loss, as a parent myself, I cannot imagine having to loose a child no matter their age. Take care everyone hugs

adorned in dew drops
Something I don't share very often (if at all) on my Instagram, is my nature photography. These images, taken while on hikes and garden strolls, strongly influence my work—especially the goddesses series. The strength and beauty of her rises from mud, the waste, the soil we take for granted, and wash from our feet.
These moments among flowers adorned in dew drops, listening to whispering butterfly wings and rambling mumbles of bees, these moments bring me peace. My color pallets for lips and eye shadows are petals, and the headpieces I design, constructions of these landscapes. The stories I've come to adore, ancient and incomplete, suddenly unfold in the wonders of these spaces.
The goddesses are here, in the elements, in the fauna, in the flora that canopies this place.

As discussed previously, I like to take a training class every month so as to always be learning new stuff and sharpening my skills. I pay special attention to opportunities to train with visiting instructors, especially on subjects I don't know anything about. You can therefore imagine how excited I was that my schedule lined up with FPF Training bringing in Greg Ellifritz to run his Knife Skills for Concealed Carry Class.
I don't know anything about knives. I mean, I got my Whittling Chip card as a Cub Scout, and I've done some kitchen work with one. But using one to defend myself in lieu of, or in conjunction with, a firearm? Absolutely nothing. It seemed like a good thing to learn, so it was off to class I went. The rest of the AAR is after the break!
