Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated in the inaugural meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, unlawfully deported and forcibly displaced to the Russian Federation from temporarily occupied territories of our state.
Opening the coalition meeting in Kyiv, he expressed gratitude to all indifferent people who joined the International Coalition.
"The forced deportation is one of the most cynical crimes of this war. Children are not merely 'taken away' from the occupied territories of Ukraine. Russia deliberately attempts to sever any connection children have with Ukraine, with their relatives, and their loved ones. Children are taught lies about Ukraine and this war. They are placed for illegal adoption, even when they say they have relatives here, in Ukraine, and try to restore contact with their families," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
He added that in Russia, efforts are made to erase the national identity of young Ukrainians, which is evidence of Russia's genocidal policy towards Ukraine.
"The world knows that this crime committed by Russia against Ukrainian children, against our families, is not something random but an organized effort of the Russian state system – various branches and individuals, from Putin to all those who exercise criminal orders and ruin lives, especially those of children," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The head of the Ukrainian state added that the warrants from the International Criminal Court to arrest President Vladimir Putin and Russian Children's Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova are compelling evidence that the deportation of children will not go unpunished.
At the same time, Zelenskyy said that time is crucial in the matter of returning Ukrainian children. According to him, it is important for young Ukrainians not to lose their entire childhood in a foreign land, and for the cruelty of Russian state criminals not to break the children and their connection with their country and loved ones.
"Russia itself claims hundreds of thousands of deported Ukrainian children whom it stole from Ukraine and is trying to assimilate into its society. As swift as possible and vigorous efforts are needed to bring all these children back," he said.
The Head of State reminded that one of the points of the Ukrainian Peace Formula is the return of people from Russian deportation and captivity.
"I urge you to enlarge our coalition – to increase the chances of every Ukrainian child to live at home, to live in general, to return not in years but as soon as possible," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Leaders of world nations, representatives of foreign governments and parliaments, international human rights advocates, as well as public and cultural figures, participated in the inaugural meeting of the International Coalition of Countries for the Return of Ukrainian Children both in person and via video links.

TO VIEW sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.

Abstract: The Forma Urbis Romae (F.U.) was a 3rd-century-AD monumental map of ancient Rome consisting of 151 rectangular marble slabs. Several efforts have been made to reconstruct it from its current incomplete and fragmentary condition. In this paper, we explore the potential of an archaeometric approach to serve this purpose. Almost a hundred F.U. fragments have been characterized, particularly focusing on cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy and stable isotopes (δ18O and δ13C).
Different statistical methods have been used to quantify the similarity between samples. The central assumption is that samples from a given slab share similar CL colors and isotopic ratios. The assumption has been verified for samples from single fragments and then it has been used to check ten debated reconstruction hypotheses. The measured isotopic ratios confirm the Proconnesian nature of the F.U. marble, except for a fragment. Beyond provenance, the results cast doubts on four out of the ten checked reconstruction hypotheses and support the other six. The reconstruction of the F.U. remains a fascinating challenge, and both isotopic and CL analyses have demonstrated their potential to tackle it. Further research could extend the presented methodology to a higher number of samples. The innovative use of CL to reconstruct a fragmented artwork could be applied to other projects.

True to the motto: I like the road less travelled!
The Old Maverick Road runs between Maverick Junction and Santa Elena Canyon. It is a 14-mile improved dirt road that passes along the Terlingua Creek badlands on the west side of the park. A number of historic sites are located near the road that you may visit as you gradually descend to the Rio Grande and Santa Elena.
While usually passable for most vehicles, this road tends to be rough and washboarded; the fourteen miles takes around an hour to drive. This road is subject to high water and flooding following rainstorms.

how to make Vegetable risotto with chicken? In addition to wheat in the form of pasta and Pizza, in Italy you enjoy another cereal, rice, in its most traditional form of preparation, the risotto, own elaboration of the northwest zone of the country, Lombardy, Verona and Piedmont.
We can prepare many varieties of risotto, depending on the ingredients and broths that accompany the rice. What has to be a common denominator is the type of rice. A high-starch, hard, and resistant rice is called for. It is that amount of starch that will be gradually released while it absorbs the broth, maintaining its texture without breaking.
Among the most suitable varieties are arborio rice and carnaroli. The latter is the one we have used to make this chicken and vegetable risotto. We take risotto very seriously on our blog, and you even have a special course for make risotto like a real italian. That is why for this Italian risotto we have used rice to Scotty Risotto that perhaps it is the one that we can find more easily in supermarkets and large surfaces, maintaining the product canons of Italian cuisine.
This is one of those recipes that starting from the simplest ingredients, we get a first-class result. with a simple cooked chicken meat, or even using remains of a grilled chicken that is left over on Sunday or a chicken stew and the seasonal vegetables that we have in the fridge, we will have a risotto to suck our fingers. Who's up to prepare it this week?

Inside-Out, Bridging Possibilities, encourages incarcerated youth to explore safe and healthy lifestyles and to overcome disabilities through the development of leadership and social skills. “Inside Out” meets Arizona education standards.
Our programs provide and demonstrate endless possibilities and options for the individual through the experiential creative process of whole-brain thinking. This awakens a creative consciousness and exposes the individual to the unlimited potential of critical thinking, problem solving, and self-empowerment, awakening the individual to new possibilities and a new purpose that leads to improved life skills and becoming a productive community member. Without these critical life skills, the still maturing minds of detained youth view their future as bleak and set in stone with no hope for a “normal” life.
2005 RTF instituted the first “Inside Out – Bridging Possibilities” Workshops at Durango and SEF Detention Centers.
Workshops at these Detention Centers confirmed that 25% of the participants had no further problems with breaking the law. Detention staff attributed this to the Workshop, reduce the recidivism rate, a tremendous fiscal savings & new beginnings for the youth.
Goals:
1 To present educational programs and workshops in detention facilities.
2 To teach youth valuable life skills focusing on dealing with conflicts and anger.
3 To share with the community a message stressing decreased violence of all types.
4 To introduce new and fresh perspectives thought the creative process.
5 To enlighten participants about their purpose in life.
Description of the program, including the goals, expected outcome:
Inside-Out Bridging Possibilities program engages individuals to explore safe and healthy lifestyles, to overcome their disabilities through leadership and social skills development. It exposes the participants to creative problem solving and creates the opportunity to shift a life to a more effective and peaceful outlet. Between Pre & Post surveys the participants engage in team reflective surveys, after each exercise. Where they take turns being a team leader and are responsible for extracting inquiry from their team and reporting to the entire group their findings. How would this activity help you in your day life in school or out, and why? This engages the participants in a whole-brain thinking process of the creative activities they just experienced. Also introduces them to teamwork, listening skills and the confidence of public speaking. At the end of the 3-day workshop, as the culmination and pinnacle of their experiences drawn from the program, participants create a group painting to present to the public; an expression created by persons from multiple perspectives can be harmonious and unifying. Thus, this is not only a healing experience for the group but also a community awareness campaign, sharing a message of decreased violence of all types. Our findings from Pre & Post results, majority realize that they are not alone in their fears and that their dreams can become reality. By introducing new and fresh perspectives through the power of the creative process, our participants learn to embrace life and fully realize its endless possibilities. Shifting awareness turns Pain into the means of Bridging their Possibilities, so participants can become enlightened about their Purpose and lead a productive life.
There are no other programs with similar methodology of teaching valuable life skills, enhance participants’ sense of self and surroundings, and allow them to experience alternative ways of dealing with conflict and anger.
The need for our program & popular demand; each potential participant is required to read and fill out a form that details the program and why they feel they deserve to participate. Due to class size restraints only 20 of 60 that applied were selected by the staff at The Durango Facility, as well as SEF. As you can see, the program and its life changing experience and results are becoming very popular amongst the kids at both facilities, through word of mouth.

Art For Blythe's Sake!
Chelsea Mayfair took a trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts! Our brakes went out as we pulled into our parking space and unfortunately, her tour guide of the museum (this was her first trip there) was a little preoccupied with how to drive home without running into things...
But we did have a quick visit with some of our favorite art pieces there!
This is a Salvador Dali painting, "Portrait of Juan de Pareja, the Assistant to Valesquez" from the year 1960. I thought her hair and outfit just had the right amount of pop art to go with his surreal landscape.
We were in and out in a matter of an hour and on our way to get the brakes fixed. I promised her a much longer visit next time and I know she is going to hold me to it!
The stream flowing from Bedworth Slough forms a brook which flows south, under Newtown Road, between the housing to Rectory Drive and then continues beside Silk Weavers Way to cross beneath the A444. It runs parallel to Bowling Green Lane, crossing School Lane to feed the moat of Tudor Court, beneath the M6 and thence across the fields behind St Giles Church. Here it is joined by the Breach Brook. It passes back under the A444 to Sowe Meadows Nature Park, under Rowley's Green Lane, the railway line and finally Grindle Road, where it is just visible as it is culverted beneath the housing and adjacent Coventry canal, thence across Longford Community Nature Reserve to the Longford Road. From here it emerges into the green oasis of Longford Park to exit not far from Alderman's Green Road.
The River Sowe is a river in Warwickshire and West Midlands. It is a tributary of the River Avon, and flows into it just south of Stoneleigh about 5 miles (8 km) south of Coventry. It is about 12 miles (19 km) long.
The Sowe rises in Bedworth 5.5 miles (9 km) to the north of Coventry. Its route takes it through Exhall near to Junction 3 of the M6 motorway and the A444 road, to the northern and then the eastern suburbs of Coventry, in particular the districts of Longford, Wood End, Walsgrave, Binley, Willenhall and near the village of Baginton. Near Baginton the river has a large steep bank on its southern side and the remains of the Roman Lunt Fort have been found at the top of this bank.
There is an established local park called the Sowe Valley Footpath that runs alongside the river for 8½ miles from Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area to Stonebridge Meadows Local Nature. It also runs through Wyken Slough Local Nature Reserve, Wyken Croft Nature Park and Stoke Floods Local Nature Reserve.
