Previously thought to be the first African American firefighter for the city of Wheeling, John W. Doffmeyer joined the Wheeling Fire Department, 97 years ago today September 16, 1919. He served Engine Company number 8 until his death on April 1, 1945. Further research, however, has uncovered the service of Ashby Jackson, who joined the department on February 22, 1897. The Crisis Magazine – a publication started in 1910 for its member of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) – reported in their April 1917 edition, "Ashby Jackson, the only colored man on the Fire Department at Wheeling, W. Va., has served twenty years." The March 09, 1897 edition of the Wheeling Daily Intelligencer recorded that Ashby Jackson had been appointed pipeman of the Second Ward chemical division of the Fire Department. A December 8, 1941 West Virginia State Department of Health Certificate of Death lists his color/race as "Negro" and occupation as "Fireman." A third African American firefighter, Archibald Johnson (also seen here along with J. Doffmeyer and Ashby Jackson in the 1925 publication, “A History of Fire Fighting in Wheeling,” by Robert L. Plummer and William C. Handlan), joined the Wheeling Fire Department July 1, 1920.

This Gospels manuscript was written in 937 of the Armenian era [1488 CE] in the province of Ekełeac' by the priest Łazar at the monastery of Surb Awgsend (St. Auxentius). Though the fifteenth-century manuscript was not a terribly costly production (for example, the nimbuses around the evangelists' heads are painted in yellow or orange rather than gold), it later came to be housed in a magnificent binding with large silver plaques showing the Presentation of the christ child at the temple on the front and the Ascension on the back. This silver binding, which is attributable to the seventeenth or early eighteenth century, was likely produced in Kayseri (Turkey). The manuscript's fifteenth-century evangelist portraits show signs of Mongolian artistic influence, stemming from the time when Mongols had conquered the province. For a manuscript of similar style, see the Gospels in Jerusalem, no. 298, copied by Maghak’ia in 1497. The Walters Silver Gospels was used over a long period of time by a succession of owners. Information about its history is given in colophons and ownership inscriptions on the codex's final folios. For example, one note indicates that the book was rebound in 1626, and offered to the church of Surb Astuacacin (Holy Theotokos) in memory of Caruk, Kirakos, and Girigor (fol. 280r). The last date given is the Armenian year 1161 (1712 CE), which may be when the manuscript was rebound.

Zum sechsten Mal fand der „Tag der deutschen Zukunft“(TDDZ) statt, einem bundesweiten Neonazi-Event in Form einer Demonstration. Bisher wurde nur in Norddeutschland demonstriert. Im sechsten Jahr war die Stadt Dresden an der Reihe und auch hier konnten die Neonazis relativ ungestört mit weniger als 500 Teilnehmern laufen.
Nach vielen Reden auf der Abschlusskundgebung wurde angekündigt ,wo der TDDZ 2015 stattfinden wird: Neuruppin, Brandenburg.
Ein Brandenburger Bereitschaftsbeamte reagierte auf die Frage was er dazu sage, dass im kommenden Jahr die Neonazis durch sein Bereich marschieren wollen: „Na weit werden die nicht kommen!“
Gegendemonstranten versuchten zwar in das Aufmarschgebiet zu gelangen, doch bis auf etwa 80 Personen kam kaum einer durch, da die Polizei mit 2000 Beamten (Unterstützung kam aus folgenden Bundesländern: Hamburg, Niedersachsen, Brandenburg, Berlin, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Nordrhein-Westfalen sowie der Bundespolizei) das Gebiet gut unter Kontrolle hatte.
Ebenfalls unter Kontrolle hatte die Polizei, durch Kräfte der BFE Niedersachsen und Sachsen, auch eine Gruppe von etwa 100-150 norddeutschen Antifaschisten, welche in einem spontanen Demonstrationszug in der Nähe der ursprünglichen Route durch die Straßen liefen.
Angereist waren Antifaschisten aus verschiedenen Gebieten Deutschlands, doch es waren deutlich weniger als sonst im Febraur.
Der wohlmöglich bald in Haft gehenden Neonazi, Dieter Riefling, konnte so den Tag als Erfolg feiern. Die Neonazis liefen ohne Probleme durch die „Freie Stadt Dresden“. Zwar waren es weniger als die erwarteten tausend, doch die Zahl der Neonazis beim TDDZ bleibt konstant im mittleren dreistelligen Bereich. Die Gegenprotestierenden feiern dies als Erfolg, doch es ist objektiv betrachtet eine Niederlage.
Die Antifaschisten konnten nichts ausrichten und bleiben, wie andern Orts, bei der Taktik „Bloß nicht in die Innenstadt“, da diese prestigträchtig sei. Stattdessen stört es die Organisatoren nicht spürbar, dass die Neonazis durch bewohntes Randgebiet gelaufen sind und zum Teil sogar Zuspruch aus den Häusern bekam. Lieber lobt man die „Kampagnenarbeit“ (die Mobilisierung fing erst wenige Wochen vorher ernsthaft an, obwohl der Termin und die Stadt seit einem Jahr bekannt war) und das die Innenstadt Nazifrei blieb. Die oft kritisierte Stadt hätte dies mit Menschen- und Lichterketten sicher nicht besser hinbekommen, doch brauch dieses nicht mehr, da offensichtlich die radikale Linke vor der Polizeitaktik kapituliert und sich auf städtische PR-Arbeit konzentriert.
Gleichzeitig versuchen sie ihren Misserfolg damit zu kaschieren, dass bei den Neonazis die Zahlen der Demonstranten „weiter rückläufig“ seien. Sowohl letztes Jahr in Wolfsburg, wie auch das Jahr davor in Hamburg waren es „nur“ etwa 500 Neonazis. Bei einer gleichbleibenden Tendenz an Teilnehmerzahlen zwischen 400-500 Personen seit drei Jahren, muss man von Konstanz sprechen und nicht beschönigend von „rückläufig“.
Wie üblich also keine Selbstkritik, kein Eingestehen der Niederlage, sondern ein hochjubeln und freuen – bloß den Anschein bewahren dass Dresden Nazifrei bleibt…

The great turning point in Martin of Tour’s life occurred about 336. It is a scene portrayed over and over again in icons and other images of Martin. One winter day, while stationed in Amiens, Gaul (modern-day France), as Martin approached the city gate, he saw a half-naked man shivering with cold and begging alms from indifferent passers-by. Having nothing but his cloak, Martin drew his sword, cut the cloak in two, and gave half to the beggar. That night, in a dream, Martin saw Jesus wearing the cloak he had given the beggar man and heard him say, "Martin, still a catechumen, has covered me with this garment." Martin’s baptism quickly followed this experience.
Martin’s situation as a newly baptized Christian and a soldier came to a crisis point following a barbarian invasion of Gaul. On the eve of battle, his company was called to appear before Caesar Julian receive a war-bounty. Refusing to accept such a reward, Martin told Julian: "Up to now I have served you as a soldier. Now let me serve Christ. Give the bounty to these others-they are going to fight, but I am a soldier of Christ and it is not lawful for me to fight."
The emperor accused Martin of cowardice, to which he replied that, in the name of Christ, he was prepared to face the enemy on the following day, alone and unarmed. He was thrown into prison, but a swift end to the hostilities meant that no further action was taken against him, and he was discharged.
Martin’s next move was to go to Poitiers, where the local bishop, Saint Hilary, welcomed the young man among his disciples.
After ten years he was called to become bishop of Tours, an office he accepted with profound reluctance but served for over twenty-five years until his death in 397. His biography recounts the many ways Martin brought a commitment to Christian peacemaking to his ministry as bishop. In particular, he opposed the use of violence against heretics, even when this left him susceptible to the charge of heretical sympathies. Thanks to the missionary activity of Martin and his monks, Christianity increasingly took root in the region surrounding Tours.
As Martin lay dying in 397, it is said that a devil appeared to tempt him one last time. Martin said, "You will find nothing in me that belongs to you. Abraham's bosom is about to receive me." With these words he gave up his soul to God.
Martin was the first confessor who was not a martyr whose name was added to the church calendar in the West. His biographer, Sulpitius Severus, wrote of him: "Martin never let an hour or a moment go by without giving himself to prayer or to reading and, even as he read or was otherwise occupied, he never ceased from prayer to God. His face shined with heavenly joy. In his mouth was nothing but the name of Christ and in his soul nothing but love, peace and mercy."
The story of Martin's conversion is striking for linking two themes, on the one hand an encounter with Christ hidden in the poor and, on the other, his realization that to follow Christ is to embrace a merciful life in which one is obliged to protect the lives of others, even one’s enemies.
Dubai’s Anonymous SAMO-esque scrawls in Barsha
In the late 70s, downtown New York became the canvas for a young Jean-Michel Basquiat and his ‘SAMO’ tags. It’s hard to say if Dubai is harbouring a Basquiat in-the-making, but these cryptic, poignant and (in one case) prophetic messages have been popping up all over the Barsha and TECOM neighbourhoods. These have all been documented by Jalal Abuthina.

Alguna vez, la salud pública fue motivo de orgullo en Vicente López. Desde hace un tiempo, lamentablemente, hace agua. Y lo que podría ser una imagen metafórica es sólo una simple descripción de la realidad que sufren hoy quienes trabajan o concurren para atenderse en el Hospital Houssay, donde cada vez que llueve fuerte hay goteras o se obstruyen los caños que comparten los desagües pluviales y cloacales. Con baños públicos que poco tienen que envidiarle a los de una popular del fútbol de ascenso, el principal centro de salud comunal viene padeciendo en carne propia la falta de atención de los problemas sanitarios.
Todo el sistema de salud está en crisis y el Hospital Houssay no es la excepción. Hay problemas salariales con los médicos y faltan profesionales en varios servicios por la reducción que llevó adelante el Intendente durante los últimos años. Su accionar es una vergüenza que atenta contra la atención al vecino y tiene consecuencias concretas en la gente del distrito.
La referencia tiene que ver con los retrasos para conseguir turnos para los consultorios externos o las demoras en las operaciones programadas que se realizan en el Hospital Houssay. Algo que en sus mejores épocas se conseguía para unos pocos días y que ahora demora semanas por la ausencia de profesionales y de insumos básicos como jeringas o pañales. Hay una falta de estímulo total para los empleados. Hoy los médicos cobran menos que en otros hospitales pese a haberse pasado al régimen provincial en 2005, porque la Comuna decidió no poner en marcha el último aumento. Eso, sumado a las diferencias históricas entre lo público y lo privado, genera que cada vez queden menos médicos.
En concreto, uno de los servicios que sufre la falta de gente capacitada es el de Diagnóstico por Imágenes, donde hay un sólo ecografista, por ejemplo. También hay problemas en Enfermería por la falta de cargos de planta y las diferencias salariales con el sector privado son tan marcadas que hacen que sean cada vez menos enfermeras y mas sobrecargadas en sus tareas.
Otro pauta importante que demuestra la falta de previsión del Intendente en materia de salud tiene que ver con los problemas edilicios del Hospital de la calle Hipólito Yrigoyen, en Florida Este. Es que a las goteras e inundaciones, se le suma los inconvenientes eléctricos y en los ascensores. Hay cosas que son inadmisibles. No puede ser que haya pacientes en la guardia que deben ser atendidos en los pasillos y que, algunos lugares ni siquiera cuenten con una cortina para separar una camilla de la otra. Lo que antes fuera el orgullo de los vecinos de Vicente Lopez, porque nada tenía que envidiarle a un sanatorio privado, hoy sólo se sostiene por la calidez y calidad de sus profesionales. Se supone que Vicente López es uno de los municipios que más recauda y debería brindar un servicio de salud acorde a las circunstancias. En cambio, hoy la salud está enferma, en terapia intensiva y con pronóstico delicado.
Hay que restablecer en forma urgente las prioridades de un área vital para los vecinos. Es que son ellos quienes desde hace un tiempo a esta parte deben sufrir no sólo los inconvenientes que implica atenderse en el centro de salud comunal más importante, sino también los problemas que trae aparejado el cierre de servicios en el Hospital Santa Rosa y en el Geriátrico.
Y dentro de ese cambio de prioridades a nivel comunal van desde cuestiones tan puntuales como, por ejemplo, buscar la recuperación de la confianza perdida en los acreedores, lo que generó un desabastecimiento grave en materia de insumos sanitarios básicos; hasta la posibilidad de poner en marcha un comité ético que defina la creación de servicios tan necesarios como el de Salud Mental, el de Hemodinamia o el de Cirugía Cardiovascular, hoy inexistentes dentro del marco de la política sanitaria municipal de Vicente López.
El principal afectado por esa falta de iniciativa es el Houssay, que alguna vez fue uno de los hospitales más importantes del área Metropolitana, y hoy sufre problemas concretos que requieren de soluciones urgentes.
Por eso, considero que es fundamental restablecer el convenio con la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional para llevar adelante la supervisión y/o reparación de la aparatología, así como también evaluar la compra, el alquiler o el leasing de los equipos de extrema necesidad que no se pueden comprar por su alto costo. También es necesario crear un plan director para el mantenimiento del edificio. Y en ese rubro están incluidas desde la construcción de las escaleras de incendio, hasta la recuperación de los subsuelos, que se inundan cada vez que llueve o suben las napas, y generan un riesgo para los pacientes. En ese sentido además sería importante no sólo la reparación de las terrazas, sino también la implementación de un sistema de acopio de los residuos comunes y de los patológicos en una edificación para tal destino, como exige la ley que actualmente no se cumple.
No hay que dejar de lado que a nivel comunal también queda por delante resolver el tema de los trabajadores. Por eso, considero que hay que establecer prioridades y analizar desde los salarios a la cobertura de cargos. Y la mejor forma de hacerlo sería recrear una mesa de diálogo que bien podría ser la Comisión Permanente de la Carrera Profesional Hospitalaria, creada a partir de la ley 10.471. en donde se podría tratar toda esta problemática, conjuntamente con la Comisión de Salud del Concejo Deliberante.
