  • Simple Origami for Cub Scouts and Leaders
    SIMPLE ORIGAMI FOR CUB SCOUTS AND LEADERS Sakiko Wehrman (408) 296-6376 [email protected] ORIGAMI means paper folding. Although it is best known by this Japanese name, the art of paper folding is found all over Asia. It is generally believed to have originated in China, where paper- making methods were first developed two thousand years ago. All you need is paper (and scissors, sometimes). You can use any kind of paper. Traditional origami patterns use square paper but there are some patterns using rectangular paper, paper strips, or even circle shaped paper. Typing paper works well for all these projects. Also try newspaper, gift-wrap paper, or magazine pages. You may even want to draw a design on the paper before folding it. If you want to buy origami paper, it is available at craft stores and stationary stores (or pick it up at Japan Town or China Town when you go there on a field trip). Teach the boys how to make a square piece from a rectangular sheet. Then they will soon figure out they can keep going, making smaller and smaller squares. Then they will be making small folded trees or cups! Standard origami paper sold at a store is 15cm x 15 cm (6”x6”) but they come as small as 4cm (1.5”) and as large as 24cm (almost 9.5”). They come in different colors either single sided or double sided. They also come in different patterns, varying from traditional Japanese patterns to sparkles. When you make an origami, take your time.

  • The Song Elite's Obsession with Death, the Underworld, and Salvation
    BIBLID 0254-4466(2002)20:1 pp. 399-440 漢學研究第 20 卷第 1 期(民國 91 年 6 月) Visualizing the Afterlife: The Song Elite’s Obsession with Death, the Underworld, and Salvation Hsien-huei Liao* Abstract This study explores the Song elite’s obsession with the afterlife and its impact on their daily lives. Through examining the ways they perceived the relations between the living and the dead, the fate of their own afterlives, and the functional roles of religious specialists, this study demonstrates that the prevailing ideas about death and the afterlife infiltrated the minds of many of the educated, deeply affecting their daily practices. While affected by contem- porary belief in the underworld and the power of the dead, the Song elite also played an important role in the formation and proliferation of those ideas through their piety and practices. Still, implicit divergences of perceptions and practices between the elite and the populace remained abiding features under- neath their universally shared beliefs. To explore the Song elite’s interactions with popular belief in the underworld, several questions are discussed, such as how and why the folk belief in the afterlife were accepted and incorporated into the elite’s own practices, and how their practices corresponded to, dif- fered from, or reinforced folk beliefs. An examination of the social, cultural, * Hsien-huei Liao is a research associate in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, U.S.A. 399 400 漢學研究第20卷第1期 and political impact on their conceptualization of the afterlife within the broad historical context of the Song is key to understand their beliefs and practices concerning the underworld.

  • Howard County VOTER OCTOBER, 2019
    the Howard County VOTER OCTOBER, 2019 PRESIDENT’S LETTER UPCOMING EVENTS Beth Hufnagel, President OCTOBER 2 Fall greetings, and congratulations to those of you who are all about the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future pumpkin-flavor everything! Howard Co. Forum Our first Unit Meeting in September was, I think, exactly what the League is Patapsco Middle School about. We first interacted in an intimate setting with our local county Board of 5:30 PM Elections, then were updated on a local Study, this year an Equity in Education 8885 Old Frederick Rd. Study led by Krista Threefoot, our Education Director. If you missed this meeting, Ellicott City, MD you still have a chance to catch the October meetings October 16 or 17; see Thea Jones’ report later on in this Newsletter. OCTOBER 3 LVWHC Board Meeting Last month I incorrectly stated that Unit Meetings are open to members only. On Oakland Manor the contrary, Unit Meetings are open to the public, BUT only members can vote, if 7:00 – 8:30 PM that is part of the program for that particular meeting. 5430 Vantage Point Rd. The League is re-thinking our voter-registration strategy. We will continue to work Columbia, MD with the Board of Elections in the high schools, but we are also considering how to reach other populations that are under-registered. OCTOBER 5 Oakland Mills Fall Festival The League has also had “Get Out the Vote” as part of our mission for a long time, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM and we are re-thinking how to expedite that in this new world of social media.

  • Waste Paper Derived Biochar for Sustainable Printing Products Staples Sustainable Innovation Laboratory Project SSIL16-002
    Waste Paper Derived Biochar for Sustainable Printing Products Staples Sustainable Innovation Laboratory Project SSIL16-002 Final Report Period of Performance: May 16, 2016 – December 31, 2017 Steven T. Barber and Thomas A. Trabold (PI) Golisano Institute for Sustainability Rochester Institute of Technology 1 A. Executive Summary Rationale for Research The Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) performed a research and development assessment in conjunction with the Staples Sustainable Innovation Laboratory (SSIL) to determine the potential of pyrolyzed waste paper as a novel, cost- effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable black pigment for use in common consumer and commercial printing applications (e.g. inkjet, lithography and flexography). To do so, the primary focus of the project was the creation and testing of a stable form of elemental carbon called “biochar” (BC) to replace the heavy fuel oil derived “carbon black” (CB) pigment ubiquitously used in inks since the late 1800’s. Reducing the use of CB would lessen the demand for fossil fuels, decrease printing’s environmental impact and potentially save money since biochars are typically created from free or low cost waste feedstocks which would ordinarily be disposed. Prior published scientific research and patents demonstrated that biochars could be successfully made from box cardboard, paper towels and glossy paper. If paper waste biochars could then be successfully transformed into a sustainable black ink pigment replacement, significant commercial potential exists since the global printing ink market is forecasted to reach $23.8 billion by 2023 and consumers would like the option of a more ‘green’ alternative.

In writing his new book, GEORGE PACKER, one of our foremost thinkers about the state of America, set out to answer two fundamental questions: How did we get here, and how do we find our way back? He wanted to explore what he calls our common American identity and enduring passion for equality.

  • Drowning on Dry Land: Rethinking Mexican Migration Policy from a Human Rights Perspective
    DROWNING ON DRY LAND: RETHINKING MEXICAN MIGRATION POLICY FROM A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE Blaine Finstein TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 3, 2019 __________________________________________ Stephanie Leutert, M.A. LBJ School of Public Affairs Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Stephanie Holmsten, Ph.D. International Relations and Global Studies Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Blaine Finstein Title: Drowning on Dry Land Supervising Professor: Stephanie Leutert, M.A. As structural issues such as organized crime and corruption deepen in Mexico, migrants are caught in the crosshairs, resulting in migratory routes rife with danger and a worsening human rights record. This paper explores how human rights practices for migrants in Mexico can be improved with respect to state policy. I begin by establishing the international and domestic law in place before moving into an assessment of the extent to which rights are guaranteed. I addresses the disconnect between legal instruments and what happens on the ground, analyzing the influence of securitization as well as social and structural factors at play against migrants in policy-making and implementation. Finally, I propose policy solutions in light of protection gaps and constraints, arguing for a non-traditional regularization of migration through Mexico that would free migratory routes from organized crime networks that pose the majority of the risk. In addition, I advocate for: the incorporation of the National Human Rights Commission into the judicial system in order to provide accountability for crimes committed against migrants, superior training of state migration workers and streamlined protocol, along with funding increases for COMAR, Mexico’s refugee agency.

    WTH is going on with the retreat from Afghanistan? Amb. Ryan Crocker on withdrawal, and the consequences for US national security Episode #115 | September 1, 2021 | Danielle Pletka, Marc Thiessen, and Amb. Ryan Crocker Danielle Pletka: Hi, I'm Danielle Pletka. Marc Thiessen: I'm Marc Thiessen. Danielle Pletka: Welcome to our podcast, What the Hell Is Going On? Marc, what the hell is going on? Marc Thiessen: I've never been more disgusted in my life with what's happening with what America is doing than I am right now watching the last planes leaving Kabul, leaving behind American citizens, thousands of Afghans who risked their lives to help us, the blood of 13 dead Americans and hundreds of Afghan civilians. It is the most shameful thing I have witnessed in my entire career in Washington. I'm shifting between absolute abject pain and rage as I watch this happen. Dany, what are your thoughts? Danielle Pletka: It is the worst thing in the world that a country like ours, we've suffered defeats, we've made mistakes, we've done terrible things. Never, I hope willfully, but by mistake, we've done terrible things. And we have betrayed allies before. We've not done enough for people who need us. We've let down the Kurds in Iraq, we've let down the Syrian people, but we have never actually gone in and rescued a group of people who in turn sacrificed all for us and for our security as Afghans did, because make no mistake, we were not in Afghanistan for the Afghan people.
