Jesus Was a Rape Baby – Sarah McDavitt Woods According to The Gospel of Mary and other early church documents, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was most likely betrothed to Jesus’ earthly father Joseph at the age of 12, though she possibly was as old as 14. The Catholic Church and Evangelical churches typically teach she was no older than 15 when she became the Mother of God. As a betrothed virgin girl, the responsibility for Mary’s care had transferred from her father to adult widower Joseph, who had legal rights over her. It is highly unlikely Jesus was conceived as the result of a youthful romance. The men who wrote the Bible claimed Mary submitted obediently when she became the Mother of God. In the Biblical narrative, Mary was coerced into submission and obedience by the Angel Gabriel. Donald Trump Christians argue Mary was not raped because God did not physically sexual assault Mary. Mary was not an exception. Trump Christian “pro-life” activists consistently support cutting funding for services for women and children.
Projeto Brasil 27 - Descobrindo o Brasil dos Negócios Sociais How the homeless create homes The number of people facing housing insecurity, already on the rise, began to climb more steeply as a result of the Great Recession. This upward trend will likely be exacerbated if President Trump’s proposed cuts to food stamps, Medicaid and housing subsidies are enacted, which will force even more to make a choice between food on the table and a roof above their heads. To those who are safely housed, a homeless person is apt to inspire feelings ranging from fear and disgust to pity and guilt. Such negative responses are rooted in longstanding myths about “hobos,” “Bowery bums,” and “bag ladies.” Above all, they are not like us. In my new book, “Extreme Domesticity: A View from the Margins,” I examine ethnographies, journalistic accounts and memoirs that have been written about homeless people and communities. Homemakers once, they are homemakers still: however challenging, their efforts to satisfy basic domestic needs resemble those of people everywhere. Changing the narrative

Why we need to move toward an economy that can regenerate itself Glenn Harvey Traveling through Europe a few years ago, I met Prakash, a student from India who was studying for an advanced engineering degree in Germany. When I asked whether he had opted to learn about ecologically smart technologies, he replied, “No, India has other priorities — we are not rich enough to worry about that yet.” Surprised, I pointed out that almost half of India’s land is degraded, the nation’s groundwater levels are falling fast, and air pollution is the worst in the world. A flicker of recognition crossed his face, but he just smiled and repeated his words, “We still have other priorities.” In one quick conversation, Prakash summed up the economic story that has been circulating for decades: poor countries are too poor to be green. It’s a story that once appeared to be backed up by data. Rather than wait for growth to clean up the environment — because it won’t — it is far smarter to create economies that can restore and renew the cycles of life.

Lead to Life About Benetech It was at Caltech during the 1970s when the idea hit like lightning. An engineering student named Jim Fruchterman had just learned, in a modern optics class, about how pattern recognition technology could guide a missile to its target. “If you could use this technology to recognize tanks or bridges,” Jim thought, “perhaps you could also recognize letters and words. Benetech’s founder and CEO, Jim Fruchterman, sharing our story. It was years later, after a stint as a rocket engineer, that Jim cofounded a venture capital–backed tech company called Calera Recognition Systems. When the machine was presented to Calera’s investors, they were impressed that it worked. In 1989, Benetech was born with a business model intended to keep costs low for users, and the organization quickly became the largest maker of affordable reading systems for the blind. Today, Benetech continues to be a different kind of tech company—a nonprofit—with a pure focus on developing technology for social good.
Eivin & Eve - Alaska: The Last Frontier Aliança Empreendedora Yes, giving money to very poor people will make their lives better — just ask Ecuador Is eradicating poverty, a goal the United Nations’ hopes to achieve by 2030, actually feasible? New research out of Ecuador says yes – if governments are willing to pay for it. According to a United Nations University (UNU) - Merit study of Ecuador’s Human Development Bonus (Bono de Desarrollo Humano, or BDH), direct cash transfers have definitively improved social mobility, or the ability of individuals or households to move between social strata. And it has helped poor families climb out of poverty, especially when complemented by other economic-inclusion programs. Cash on hand Ecuador’s BDH is a cash transfer given to extremely poor families each month, as long as their children are regularly attending school and health clinics. Unlike similar programs in other Latin American countries, including Mexico’s Prospera and Brazil’s Bolsa Familia, where monitoring of student attendance and nutritional compliance is quite strict, in Ecuador conditionality is somewhat soft.
