As described in Khmer literature, the Khmer woman, must remain virtuous to uphold the image of her family. She is required to speak softly, walk lightly and be well-mannered at all times. She is required to stay in her home, and serve as the caretaker of the family and preserver of the home.
As a young woman, a Khmer woman must be a virgin before she marries and be faithful to her husband after marriage, even though he is allowed to have extramarital affairs. But if a wife is virtuous, he will not need to look elsewhere for happiness. She must be clever and wise by bringing greater wealth and status to her husband.
Heavy consequences exist for women who disobey the didactic message directed to them in Khmer literature. Often times the women are punished by rape or end their lives in suicide from shame.
Many Khmer women, especially single mothers, have suffered through tremendous hardships, which have greatly affected their self-image. During the reign of the Khmer Rouge, women were often viewed as being less threatening to the regime; their lives were spared while they faced the death of their husbands, sons and fathers. Many continue to carry their painful memories throughout their daily lives.

According to the hymn, what are a shepherd’s responsibilities?
How would you describe a shepherd that fails to care for the flock?
Read together Zechariah 11:15-17 and notice how the shepherds of Zechariah's day fulfilled their duties. Ask:
Who is the flock these shepherds are supposed to take care of? (The Lord's people.)
How do you think the Lord feels about these types of shepherds?
Who are our shepherds today? (Priesthood leaders, parents, etc.)
What could happen if our parents and leaders do not care about us?
What blessings come from parents and leaders who do their best to help us?
When have you been blessed by the love and caring of your "shepherds"?
How do you think it feels to have the responsibility of a shepherd?
Bear your testimony of the joy that comes from serving those you love and have a responsibility to serve.
Story:
As a district presidency, we called many couples on missions. They were very good to accept and then go wherever and whenever we asked them. On one occasion I got word that a missionary couple was very ill on an outlying island. We left immediately to investigate and indeed found them extremely ill. We brought them back to Pangai where the hospital was.
When the doctor saw them, he was alarmed. They had typhoid fever and had deteriorated to a point of being basically helpless. He didn't want them around any of the other patients. At that time the only way they handled typhoid fever was to put the afflicted people in a barbed wire enclosure, away from everyone else, and hope they got well. They weren't treated badly, but they were isolated.
At that time in Tonga, the hospitals furnished medicine and other medical treatment, but each family was responsible for feeding their own patients, providing a bed for them, and caring for them in every other way. Since we were the "family" of this missionary couple, it was our responsibility to care for them. We gave them a priesthood blessing, during which I felt the assurance that they would be all right but that it would take time. We made arrangements for someone to watch their two small children. Then I helped nurse the couple and had some of the missionaries trade with me in providing for their needs.
The law then was that the couple could not leave the compound until they were well. We couldn't hire anyone to help them, because people generally were pretty scared that they might catch the same fever. I assigned a couple of missionaries to the job; they were pretty obedient, but scared also. Caring for this missionary couple became a major challenge.
I knew we needed someone more permanent, so I walked to the nearby branches, then took the mission boat and went to the various outlying branches, everywhere asking members, "Who will help? Is there anyone who will stay with these missionaries to nurse them back to health?" I knew the Lord wanted them to live. After visiting many branches, I found that no one was willing. I didn't put pressure on them, I just asked. They all had excuses.
Finally, on the island of Uiha, there was a young girl of about sixteen who, after we had explained our need, looked at her father and said, "I'd like to go." Her father, on the spot, said, "If you want to, you can." So she came back with us.
What an act of love! Here was a young girl in the prime of her life, willing to come and, in effect, give her life (because she might catch the disease) to help a missionary family in need.
She asked how long she would be there. I told her I did not know and neither did the doctor. She went straight to the hospital compound. When I closed that barbed wire fence behind her I thought, "What have I done?" In effect, she was a prisoner with them. Yet someway I knew things would be all right because she had such a beautiful attitude.
It took several months for the couple to fully recover. The girl stayed with them day and night and nursed them back to health. She did her duty even though it took a long time. By the time the missionaries were well, I had a deep feeling of love and admiration for her.
She came from a poor family. The only thing I could figure out to do to help repay her kindness was to enroll her at the Liahona College on Tongatapu. However, she didn't qualify, because she hadn't
done well in school. I pulled rank a little and explained to the mission president the sacrifice she had made. We got her into school, and she did well. She ended up marrying a returned missionary, and they then went on a mission together. They had a large family, nearly all of whom served missions and married in the temple. Her husband has been faithful and held almost every responsible calling in the Church, and she has not been one whit behind.
Every time I see her, I realize again the blessings that come after we have proven our love for others. I have asked her how she felt when we came looking for volunteers. She says, "I was as scared as anyone, but I had a feeling that someone needed help and it was my duty to give that help."

Latest set of sanctions targeting the chip industry will do no one any good, certainly not the US itself
Up to now, China has been far and away the largest buyer for semiconductor processing equipment and is the major market for advanced chips designed by such Silicon Valley companies as Nvidia and made by such foundries as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
The ban seeks all the members of the semiconductor industry, foreign and domestic, to go cold turkey and stop doing business with China.
Heretofore, the industry has been a prime example of a virtuous circle created by globalization.
By breaking up the circle, everybody loses.

Dutch inflation leaps to 17%, boosted by high energy prices
AMSTERDAM, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Inflation in the Netherlands jumped in September to its highest in decades, driven by skyrocketing energy prices, the statistics agency (CBS) said on Friday.
Consumer prices, harmonised to be comparable with inflation data from other European Union countries (HICP), rose to 17.1% this month after August's jump to 13.7%.
Energy prices in the euro zone's fifth largest economy were 114% higher than in September 2021, while food prices jumped 10.5%.
Inflation helped drive retail sales up 2% in August, the CBS said, even though sales volumes dropped 6% as consumer confidence has hit an all-time low.
This month, the Dutch government said it would spend about 18 billion euros next year to help people pay their bills, and also capped the prices of gas and electricity.

German inflation hits 70-year high as economists warn of deep recession risk
September figure of 10.9% comes as institutes outline how gas shortages could hit growth in 2023
German inflation soared to double-digit levels for the first time in more than 70 years, underlining the precarious state of Europe’s largest economy, which leading economists warned could shrink by up to 7.9 per cent next year in a worst-case scenario.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz responded to soaring energy costs on Thursday by announcing plans for a €200bn cap on gas prices, which he described as a “defensive shield” to be financed by extending an off-balance sheet fund set up to provide aid during the coronavirus pandemic.
Consumer prices in Germany rose 10.9 per cent in the year to September, accelerating from 8.8 per cent in August, according to a flash estimate published by the federal statistical agency on Thursday. It is the first time German inflation has reached double-digit levels since 1951 and the increase is expected to lift overall eurozone inflation to a new record of 9.7 per cent when those figures are released on Friday.
“Inflation is running red hot in Germany,” said Carsten Brzeski, an economist at Dutch bank ING, adding that it was “hard to see” how the European Central Bank could not raise interest rates by 0.75 percentage points for a third consecutive time at next month’s meeting.
The increase in German prices — which rose 2.2 per cent month on month — was driven by the expiry of temporary measures to shield households and businesses from the impact of high prices, such as a fuel duty cut and a subsidised €9 monthly train ticket.
Energy prices rose 43.9 per cent in the year to September, accelerating from 35.6 per cent growth in August, while food prices surged 18.7 per cent against 16.6 per cent a month earlier. Services price growth accelerated to 3.6 per cent from 2.2 per cent.
Russia’s decision to cut gas supplies to Europe after its invasion of Ukraine has plunged Germany into its worst energy crisis since the second world war. Soaring gas prices have forced many companies to reduce production or even shut down entirely, while private households are preparing for a huge increase in heating bills.
Germany’s top economic institutes said the country would expand by 1.4 per cent this year, contract by 0.4 per cent in 2023 and grow by 1.9 per cent in 2024. But they also warned the economy could shrink by 7.9 per cent next year in the event of an unusually cold winter and the introduction of gas rationing in industry.
“If we get a much colder winter gas consumption will grow significantly, which will increase the likelihood of a gas shortage,” said Torsten Schmidt of the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research. “That will have more of an impact on GDP than we’ve assumed in our forecast.”
The institutes said that, based on the median of their model simulations, Germany will not run out of gas this year and next, though the supply situation would remain “extremely tight”. They said that “this will mean a permanent loss of prosperity for Germany”.
The “heightened risk” of gas rationing and shortages could be avoided if consumption was reduced by 20 per cent and imports were increased, but the institutes warned of a “massive drop” in GDP at the start of 2023 and 2024 if the country fails to sufficiently curb gas use.
The forecast was produced by the Ifo Institute in Munich, the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the Halle Institute for Economic Research as well as the Leibniz institute.
The prognosis marks a radical downward revision of the institutes’ spring forecast when they predicted growth of 2.7 per cent this year and 3.1 per cent in 2023. “This revision mainly reflects the extent of the energy crisis,” they said, adding that the value of output in 2022 and 2023 would be €160bn lower than expected in the spring.
Schmidt said private households were bearing the brunt of higher energy prices and facing a “huge loss in purchasing power”. Most companies were, in contrast, managing to cope with the energy crunch, he added.
As temperatures fall in Germany, gas consumption by households and businesses rose sharply in the past week to 14.5 per cent above the average over the past four years, the federal network agency said on Thursday. Klaus Müller, head of the agency, said the change was “very sobering” while adding that the situation could rapidly change.
The institutes said inflation would rise to 8.8 per cent next year, slightly higher than this year’s level of 8.4 per cent, though it would decline to 2.2 per cent in 2024.

Chameleon species are able to vary their coloration and pattern through combinations of pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow, turquoise, and purple.
Color change in chameleons has functions in social signaling and in reactions to temperature and other conditions, as well as in camouflage. Chameleons tend to show darker colors when angered, or attempting to scare or intimidate others, while males show lighter, multicolored patterns when courting females.

Horace Mann (1796-1859), “The Father of the Common School Movement,” was the foremost proponent of education reform in antebellum America. An ardent member of the Whig Party, Mann argued that the common school, a free, universal, non-sectarian, and public institution, was the best means of achieving the moral and socioeconomic uplift of all Americans. The reform movement he led sought to create the virtuous republican citizenry needed to sustain American political institutions, the educated workforce required to expand the American economy, and the disciplined generation necessary to forestall the social disorders so common in American cities in the decades before the Civil War.
Brother-in-law of Nathaniel Hawthorne and close friend of Samuel Gridley Howe, Mann was well connected to the cultural and political elite of New England. Mann held numerous political offices in Massachusetts state government in 1820s and 1830s, and he represented Massachusetts as an anti-slavery Whig in the House of Representatives from 1848 to 1853, taking the seat vacated by the death of John Quincy Adams.
The most influential post he occupied, however, was that of Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. From that pulpit, to which he was appointed in 1837, Mann would spread the gospel of education as social redemption. The common school would mitigate class conflict, circumvent anarchy, enhance civic engagement, and perhaps most importantly inculcate moral habits, all by molding society’s most malleable members. Like his friend Howe, Mann was a Unitarian, and his inclusion of the Bible in school curriculum was based on Unitarian doctrine. Children were to be exposed to the words and moral teachings of the Bible but would not be indoctrinated to any specific denomination. Such openness merely reflected the liberal theology of his Unitarianism. The orthodox Congregationalists of New England opposed many of Mann’s reforms.
Mann’s ideas reached far beyond the borders of the Bay State. A national spokesman for education reform, he wrote numerous books and founded and edited The Common School Journal, a periodical that successful spread the message that public schools should be more open and nurturing, with a wider curriculum delivered by professional teachers. He visited Massachusetts schools to determine their needs and went to Europe in 1843 to research educational institutions there. He was especially impressed with the school system existing in Prussia, including the Prussian approach to educating deaf children.
Like those of many reformers, Horace Mann’s historical legacy is mixed. Some historians consider his movement as an important step toward a more open and fluid society in which merit would trump birth. Other historians view the common school as a rather blunt tool for social control, one that tended both to stifle intellectual curiosity and to suppress diversity. He certainly sought to universalize the values and beliefs of the mainstream Protestant middle class of the North. The Irish immigrants to Massachusetts were especially vociferous in their condemnation of his Protestant-centered morality and reacted by constructing their own system of parochial schools.
For people with disabilities, Mann legacy is especially troubling. The controversies about Mann’s reforms influenced Howe’s handling of Laura Bridgman. For Deaf Americans, Mann’s role as an early proponent of oral education had long-term negative consequences. According to Mann, intellect required spoken language. While lauding Howe’s work at Perkins Institution, he was far less sanguine about the approach to deaf education initiated by Thomas Gallaudet at the American Asylum for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. Mann’s attacks on sign language may represent the opening salvos of oralism.

But I am very happy with the quality and size of these eyes, their depth is amazing and the colour is quite vibrant despite that they're rather dark.
The eyes are flat and low dome and I believe 14mm. They fit in this Siean's eye wells perfectly since they have been altered to be bigger and more cat-eye-shaped.

15th cent. icon of St Anastasia "healer of potions and poisons" ('pharmakolitria' in greek)
Anastasia was from Rome. She was the daughter of Praepextatus and Fausta and was beautiful in appearance, virtuous and from a wealthy family. Her mother instructed her in the faith of Christ. After her mother's death, she was given in marriage to a pagan named Publius Patricius. He subjected his wife to beatings and would keep her slaved in the house. She endured these torments for a short time since Publius drowned early in their marriage.
As a young widow, she never remarried and secretely dedicated her time to the poor, those in prisons and served their needs daily. She would wash their wounds and especially console them during their anguish.
Through her intercessions and prayers, she healed many from the effects of potions, poisons, spells and other harmful substances. This is how she received the honour of Deliverer of Potions. Her deeds and miracles spread throughout the area and her fame brought about her arrest under Diocletian's persecutions. She was tortured and endured many torments and was eventually put to death by fire in the year 290.
In the fifth century the relics of the saint were transferred to Constantinople, where a church was built and dedicated to her. This was the church where St. Andrew the Fool-for-Christ was brought to be cured from his foolishness, there St. Anastasia appeared to him in a dream and encouraged him to continue his ascetic feat.
Later her head and one of her hands were transferred to the Monastery of St. Anastasia the Pharmokolitria, Chalkidiki of Greece.
Troparion in the Fifth Tone
As a martyr you emulated the deeds of the martyrs,To whom you ministered, And, striving valiantly, you overcame the enemy.You are an abundant and overflowing source of grace For all who come to you, O godly-minded Anastasia!
Kontakion in the Second Tone:
When they that are found in trials and adversities flee unto thy church O Anastasia, they receive the august and wondrous gifts of divine grace which doth abide in thee; for at all times, O Saint of God, thou pourest forth streams of healings for the world.

Memorial for the murdered Jews of Hanover
Opernplatz
“We commemorate our brothers and sisters of the Jewish community of Hanover who through haughtiness, hatred and obsession with race were driven to their death or banished, ridiculed or despised, from their home to a foreign country during the tyranny of the national socialists. We mourn for everything which was destroyed with them. Not only their temples were laid to waste through sacrilegious hands, even their wisdom, benevolence and virtuousness which could have saved worlds and could have healed many wounds, were destroyed. We mourn for capability and knowledge, laughter and smiles, which we lost with them. The world would grow poorer and our heart freezes, if we would forget the glory, which could have been. Gratefully we commemorate their example. They are like lights that shine to us from the darkness of those years, and in their splendour we see what is good – and what is evil. May such horrible times never return so their sacrifice was not in vain. Through commemorating them we gain strength in our daily struggle against cruelty, prejudice, tyranny and persecution. Amen.”
This prayer was presented by former “Landesrabbiner” (rabbi) Dr. Henry Brandt on the day of the inauguration. The following inscription is engraved on the memorial:
“This memorial was built for the lasting memory of over 6800 Jews of Hanover: Many families lived here for generations. From 1933, they were abased, disenfranchised, chased away, driven to suicide or killed by national socialists: The remaining Jewish children, women and men had to leave their apartments in 1941 and were herded together in “Judenhäusern” (Jews’ houses) with the aid of the city council. From there on they were torn out of the population, deported and murdered without particular resistance by the rest of the population.
The transports went to: Poland on 28 October, 1938; on 25 June, 1939 to Poland; on 15 December, 1941 to Riga; on 31 March, 1942 to Warsaw; on 23 June, 1942 to Theresienstadt; on 02 March, 1943 to Auschwitz; on 16 March, 1943 to Theresienstadt; on 30 June, 1943 to Theresienstadt; on 11 January, 1944 to Theresienstadt; on 20 February, 1945 to Theresienstadt. There were only a few survivors in Hanover: 27 were liberated by American soldiers in the concentration camp of Ahlem on 10 April, 1945. The names of the murdered ones are listed on the memorial as far as they are known. It was erected 50 years after by a Hanoverian citizens’ initiative supported by many citizens and the city of Hanover: Hanover, 09 October, 1994.”
In this memorial are engraved the names of 1,935 Jewish citizens of Hanover. In its inauguration in 1994, there were 1,890 names; a further 25 names which were discovered due to the latest research followed in 1997 and a further 20 in 2004. Their age data and their birth data follow 1,935 times. The places of death are mentioned 1,935 times, as far as they are known. After years of very intense discussions about the for and against, this memorial for the deported and killed Jewish citizens was handed over to the public on 9 October, 1994. This place of commemoration was built with the initiative of the association “Memoriam” with private donations. www.erinnernundzukunft.de/index.php?id=82&L=1
