Land Day, Land Grabs

The Huffington Post 

"March 30. Nothing but anger that day comes to my people's mind. Nothing but memories from that sad day when a group of Israeli soldiers tried to kick the local citizens out of the village."

Those words were written in 1998, on the 22nd anniversary of Land Day, an annual commemoration of land dispossession and the killings of six Palestinian citizens of Israel in 1976. They're from an essay by my then 15-year-old friend Aseel Asleh, which he titled "Peaceful Thoughts," and are included in... Читать дальше...

Dutch Flowers

The Huffington Post 

Springtime brings two blossom-filled celebrations of Dutch flower painting. In The Hague, the Mauritshuis is displaying its €6.5 million March acquisition: Roelant Savery's Vase of Flowers in a Stone Niche, one of a handful of the artist's surviving flower pieces.

Tend To It

The Huffington Post 

He was walking across the university campus. The ancient buildings were the perfect backdrop on that fall day as I caught his smile and slight nod as we passed each other. It happened again the following day, and the next, each day to the point where we finally stopped and exchanged small talk, albeit more BS than anything. Yet that exchange turned into another and another and to make a long story shorter, we eventually ended up engaged, then married. I was 21 he was 23.

Finding the Security Software That Suits Your Needs

The Huffington Post 

Along with the numerous benefits the internet offers, not the least of which is access to information 24/7, hackers and malicious entities roam the cyberspace, justifying the oft-used expression, "This is why we can't have good things."

The Most Important Decision We Make as Parents

The Huffington Post 

The future depends on how we parent, so it's our biggest responsibility. Too bad there's no manual or required training. Here's a key though. The most important thing we can do for our kids is to be good to ourselves, to enjoy life, and to be positive adventurous people -- and to show that to them.

The School to Prison Pipeline: When Officers Outnumber Counselors

The Huffington Post 

In a time when we need to eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline, I'm concerned to hear that four of the country's largest school districts have more police or security officers than counselors - a troubling ratio that speaks to a police-state mentality that apparently continues to thrive in America.

In New York City, the country's largest school district, there are six security officers for every 1,000 students, but only three counselors. In Houston, there are 1.16 officers and only .78 counselors for every 100 students. Читать дальше...
