Claudia Savage Worksheet “When we love ourselves, it’s a revolution.”—Morgan Parker One Heart by Li-Young Lee, from Book of My Nights (BOA, 2001) Look at the birds. Even flying is born out of nothing. The first sky is inside you, open at either end of day. The work of wings was always freedom, fastening one heart to every falling thing. Let’s Cut the Bullshit by Nicanor Parra, translated by Liz Werner, from Antipoems: How to Look Better & Feel Great (New Directions, 1985) In Chile we have never had democracy And never will. They are all dictatorships, my dear friend The only thing that we’re allowed Is to elect Between their dictatorship & ours Lenin was damn right: Go on being poor & honest, ‘ol pal Just don’t be an asshole 1 Claudia F. Saleeby Savage’s “Resilience: A Workshop Towards Sanity and Hope” In My Mother’s 1935 American College Dictionary by Joy Katz Between “holocaine” and “holocene,” I come upon “holocaust.” It sounds cross and bored, a child about to tantrum. “Pestilence. Locusts,” I read. The holocaust sits there making a noise like a bee-box. “From the Greek holokauston,” I read, “burnt offering.” Mad glare. “Wholesale destruction.” Chair-kicks. I decide to take the holocaust around the town where I live. See, that’s light, I tell the holocaust. There are plants growing. Whole yards, people, a calm world. From inside my jacket that swarming sound. I walk with the holocaust very carefully back to the car. I take it to see a movie with lots of violence, thinking the loud noise and blood will seem familiar. It goes into the bathroom and sets the towels on fire. Should I bring the holocaust home to show my mother? I do. She stops chopping onions for a moment. Don’t let it get too close to the curtains, she says. On the street the holocaust tramples the flowers, eyes some old trees hungrily. It is a terrible nuisance. I hold it and let it beat its arms against me.

  • Choosing to Suffer As a Consequence of Expecting to Suffer: Why Do People Do It? Ronald Comer and James D
    Journal ol Personality and Social Psychology 1975, Vol. 32, No. 1, 92-101 Choosing to Suffer as a Consequence of Expecting to Suffer: Why Do People Do It? Ronald Comer and James D. Laird Clark University In three previous studies, most subjects who anticipated having to perform an unpleasant task (e.g., eat a worm) and who were then offered a choice of that or a neutral task chose the unpleasant task. It was hypothesized that this "choosing to suffer" effect was produced by the subjects' attempt to make sense of their anticipated suffering, through one of three kinds of change in their conception of themselves and the situation: (a) they deserved the suffer- ing, (b) they were brave, or (c) the worm was not too bad. Subjects antici- pating a neutral task did not change on these measures, while subjects eating a worm changed significantly, indicating that anticipated suffering did cause the predicted reconceptualizations. Changes in these three kinds of conception predicted subject's choice or not of eating the worm, indicating that these changes produced the subsequent choice. Finally, subjects who saw them- selves as either more brave or more deserving also chose to administer painful electric shocks to themselves, while subjects who had changed their concep- tions of the worm did not, indicating that these conceptual changes can affect behavior in situations different from that which initially caused the conceptual changes. In a few more or less unrelated studies, a man & Radtke, 1970).

  • Child Tax Credit & Credit for Other Dependents
    Child Tax Credit & Credit for Other Dependents Introduction The child tax credit is unique because if a taxpayer cannot benefit from the nonrefundable credit, the taxpayer may be able to qualify for the refundable additional child tax credit on Schedule 8812, Additional Child Tax Credit. In this chapter, we will learn about both credits and their relationship to each other. Some taxpayers may not be aware of these credits. Your time, effort, and understanding of this credit may result in a lower tax for the taxpayer. The child tax credit, credit for other dependents, and the additional child tax credit are entered on Form 1040. The intake and interview sheet, along with the Volunteer Resource Guide, Tab G, Nonrefundable Credits are critical tools needed to determine eligibility for the credit. Don’t confuse these credits with the child and dependent care credit! Objectives What do I need? At the end of this lesson, using your resource materials, you will be able to: □ Form 13614-C • Determine the taxpayer’s eligibility for the credit(s) □ Publication 4012 □ Publication 17 • Determine which taxpayer can claim the credits □ Publication 972 □ Schedule 8812 What is the child tax credit?

  • Religious-Verses-And-Poems
    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

She's also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic.

  • This Is Clear: What Lies Ahead Is Uncertain, but Our Life in God Is Not
    Dear Family and Friends, We are a people fed by faith. In a year like no other, God has sustained us with a steady diet of healing, hope, and love in community. We have been reminded that Jesus is the Bread of Life that does not perish, even in the face of a pandemic. Scripture is filled with examples of how God feeds his people in new and often surprising ways. In the last eight months, God has set a table in the wilderness and nourished us through virtual worship and fellowship opportunities, ongoing prayer, significant conversations on race and justice, study of scripture, and serving our brothers and sisters in need. We have even learned to “zoom” and navigate YouTube along the way! This is clear: what lies ahead is uncertain, but our life in God is not. The annual stewardship campaign is an invitation to express our gratitude for the many ways that God feeds us through the life and ministries of St. Andrew’s. We give generously because we have experienced the abundant generosity and grace of God. All we do at St. Andrew’s is made possible by your pledges and gifts. Even when our doors are closed, we continue to be the church. We are excited to share the Good News of God in Christ, to grow in love and compassion, and to live into the vision outlined in our five-year plan, even while we encounter unexpected costs and face unbudgeted expenses. Every gift counts. Please prayerfully consider your pledge and complete a pledge card.

A dark, mysterious shot: TIGHT ANGLE: The back of a MAN'S (Jenner's) head rises into shot, rimmed by top-light. He brings a breather helmet to his unseen face, slips it on over his head. As he tightens the enclosures at the back, a VOICE speaks from everywhere and nowhere, soothing and surreal: VOX Good morning, Dr. Jenner. JENNER Good morning, Vox. VOX How are you feeling this morning? JENNER A bit restless, I have to admit, Vox. A bit...well...off my game. Somewhat off-kilter. VOX That's understandable. JENNER Is it? I suppose it is. I fear I'm losing perspective on things. On what constitutes kilter versus off- kilter. VOX I sympathize. EDWIN JENNER turns to camera, his BUBBLE FACE-SHIELD kicking glare from the overhead lighting, the inside of his mask fogging badly and obscuring his face, as: JENNER Vox, you cannot sympathize. Don't patronize me, please. It messes with my head.
