“If one compares the teaching of Christ, the teaching of Buddha, and the…refined Schopenhauerian teaching, then with each, one will find that they in essence show the greatest possible conformity; for, self-will, karma, and individual will to live are one and the same thing.

All three systems furthermore teach that life is essentially an unhappy one and that one can and should free oneself through knowledge. Ultimately, the kingdom of heaven after death, nirvana, and absolute nothingness are one and the same.”

Trudy Ring at The Advocate:

The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld a state law banning most abortions after 12 weeks and restricting gender-affirming care for transgender people under 19. Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and its medical director, Dr. Sarah Traxler, had sued over the law. They were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Nebraska, and Powers Law. They argued that the law, Legislative Bill 574, violates the Nebraska constitution, which stipulates that any piece of legislation should deal with one subject only.

Lancaster County District Court Judge Lori Maret dismissed their suit last August, and they appealed to the state Supreme Court. The high court ruled Friday that the law doesn’t violate the constitution because both of its subjects deal with health care. Because the suit was filed at the state level, the Nebraska Supreme Court’s ruling is the final word on it. Asked if there were plans to file a federal suit, ACLU of Nebraska Executive Director Mindy Rush-Chipman said in a Friday press conference that various options were under consideration. The trans care restrictions had been subject to a filibuster led by Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, who vowed to block every bill pending in Nebraska’s one-chamber, officially nonpartisan legislature in order to keep the anti-trans measure from passing. However, her fellow lawmakers eventually overcame that filibuster. The legislature folded the 12-week abortion ban into the anti-trans bill and passed the combined measure in May 2023. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen signed it into law within days. The abortion ban took effect immediately, and the trans care regulations went into effect October 1.

The anti-trans provisions ban surgery, both genital and nongenital, for the purpose of gender transition for anyone under 19. An earlier form of LB 574 would have banned puberty blockers and hormone treatment as well as surgery. Genital surgeries are almost never performed on minors. However, the legislation gave the state’s chief medical officer, appointed by the governor, the power to regulate use of puberty blockers and hormones. Under Nebraska Chief Medical Officer Timothy Tesmer's regulations, patients under the age of 19 are required to undergo 40 “gender-identity-focused contact hours of therapy” before receiving puberty blockers or hormone therapy. These counseling sessions are supposedly meant to "be clinically objective and non-biased," but are explicitly required to “not merely affirm the patient’s beliefs.” Patients have to undergo further counseling while receiving the treatment.

The Nebraska Supreme Court upholds the state’s ban on gender-affirming care and 12-week abortion ban in Planned Parenthood Of The Heartland v. Hilgers.

"Вид на замок с охотниками поздней осенью" (Schlossansicht mit Jägern im Spätherbst), 1852 г.

Карл Хильгерс (Carl Hilgers, 1818-1890) - немецкий художник.

Холст, масло. 46 x 63 см.

Карл Хильгерс (14 апреля 1818 - 3 декабря 1890) — немецкий художник-пейзажист из дюссельдорфской школы. с 1833 по 1844 Хильгерс учился в Дюссельдорфской Художественной академии у Иоганна Ширмера, а позже ещё несколько лет оставался в его мастерском классе. Среди других представителей дюссельдорфской школы Хильгерс близко дружил с Каспаром Шереном. Этот художник известен своими зимними пейзажами.

В настоящее время о жизни и работе Карла Хильгерса известно очень мало. Хильгерс много путешествовал по Германии, также был в Голландии, Бельгии и Франции. После странствий он окончательно вернулся в Дюссельдорф, где прожил всю свою оставшуюся жизнь.

Творчество художника обширно и тематически разнообразно. Но в первую очередь нужно отметить очень романтические, легкие пейзажные мотивы, в том числе зимние пейзажи, и речные сцены, написанные в голландской традиции.

При просмотре картин Хильгерса нельзя не обратить внимание на то, как он писал небо. Во многих его произведениях небу отдана ��ольшая часть полотна и написано оно очень выразительно, почти всегда это облачная погода.

После смерти Карл Хильгерс начал забываться зрителями, и даже сейчас его картины можно встретить на аукционе очень редко.

The Signal

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Signal (2024, Germany)

Directors: Sebastian Hilger & Philipp Leinemann

Writers: Florian David Fitz, Nadine Gottmann, Kim Zimmermann & Sebastian Hilger

Mini-review:

Well, that was... something. Tbh, I'm left feeling like I wasted my time a bit. For starters, it didn't lean into its sci-fi elements as much as I expected. And to make matters worse, the ending was underwhelming as hell. Sure, the message was nice, but also very anticlimactic. At the end of the day, the show's biggest strength is the father-daughter bond at its core, as well as Florian David Fitz and Yuna Bennett's performances. But, even then, it's something we've seen plenty of times. I don't know, I guess I would feel better about The Signal if its ending was stronger, and if it didn't have some weird undertones here and there. At least it only has four episodes...

Exterior Brick Idea for a large, modern, three-story brick house with a red roof and a tile roof

Between 1940 and 1970, something remarkable happened to Asian Americans. Not only did they surpass African Americans in average household earnings, but they also closed the wage gap with whites. Many people credit this upward mobility to investments in education. But according to a recent study by Brown University economist Nathaniel Hilger, schooling rates among Asian Americans didn’t change all that significantly during those three decades. Instead, Hilger’s research suggests that Asian Americans started to earn more because their fellow white Americans became less racist toward them. How did that happen? About the same time that Asian Americans were climbing the socioeconomic ladder, they also experienced a major shift in their public image. At the outset of the 20th century, Asian Americans had often been portrayed as threatening, exotic and degenerate. But by the 1950s and 1960s, the idea of the model minority had begun to take root. Newspapers often glorified Asian Americans as industrious, law-abiding citizens who kept their heads down and never complained. Some people think that racism toward Asians diminished because Asians “proved themselves” through their actions. But that is only a sliver of the truth. Then, as now, the stories of successful Asians were elevated, while the stories of less successful Asians were diminished. As historian Ellen Wu explains in her book, “The Color of Success,” the model minority stereotype has a fascinating origin story, one that’s tangled up in geopolitics, the Cold War and the civil rights movement. To combat racism, minorities in the United States have often attempted to portray themselves as upstanding citizens capable of assimilating into mainstream culture. Asian Americans were no different, Wu writes. Some, like the Chinese, sought respectability by promoting stories about their obedient children and their traditional family values. The Japanese pointed to their wartime service as proof of their shared Americanness. African Americans in the 1940s made very similar appeals. But in the postwar moment, Wu argues, it was only convenient for political leaders to hear the Asian voices. The model minority narrative may have started with Asian Americans, but it was quickly co-opted by white politicians who saw it as a tool to win allies in the Cold War. Discrimination was not a good look on the international stage. Embracing Asian Americans “provided a powerful means for the United States to proclaim itself a racial democracy and thereby credentialed to assume the leadership of the free world,” Wu writes. Stories about Asian American success were turned into propaganda. By the 1960s, anxieties about the civil right movement caused white Americans to further invest in positive portrayals of Asian Americans. The image of the hard-working Asian became an extremely convenient way to deny the demands of African Americans. As Wu describes in her book, both liberal and conservative politicians pumped up the image of Asian Americans as a way to shift the blame for black poverty. If Asians could find success within the system, politicians asked, why couldn’t African Americans?
