The Pax Cultura emblem of the Roerich Pact

Russian artist, cultural activist and philosopher Nicholas Roerich founded a movement to protect cultural artefacts and used a symbol of a maroon-on-white emblem consisting of three solid dots surrounded by a circle. In 1935 Roerich initiated a pact which was signed by the United States and Latin American nations, agreeing that historic monuments, museums and scientific, artistic, educational and cultural institutions should be protected in times of both peace and war. Roerich described the circle as representing the totality of culture, with the three dots being Art, Science, and Religion, three of the most embracing of human cultural activities. He also described the circle as representing the eternity of time, encompassing the past, present, and future. The emblem has also since been used on peace banners.

ghost·ing - The sudden and unexpected end of communication within a personal or professional relationship with no explanation or understood cause. We are here to say that ghosting is not a victimless crime and can have a profound impact on those who have been ghosted. Victims of ghosting can range from romantic partners, friends, and acquaintances to professionals who stay up at night wondering why a potential employer has suddenly ceased communication. These victims are feeling the impacts of ghosting on emotional levels that directly correlate to their overall wellbeing and mental health. Ghosting victims need resolution and a way to share their story. Ghost Souls began in July 2020 when a few grounded and motivated individuals got together and decided to talk openly about the dreaded monster called Ghosting, consistently eating away at our culture, societal norms and interpersonal bonds. We are here as a forum for victims to share their stories, register personal and professional ghosts, and be a part of a community that supports an end to ghosting. We also offer personalized sessions for those impacted by ghosting, or for ghosts willing to take accountability for their actions, in order for healing and growth to begin.  Together, we can eliminate ghosting, one ghost at a time. #mentors #ghosting #aws #technologynews #jobhunt #recruitmentchallenge #ghostsontheglobe #ghostsinnewyork #newyorker #newyorkmagazine #protectingculture #awarenessiskey #eductation #livingghosts #worldfullofzombies #zombieapocalypse #torontocanada #ghostsouls (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVpkPJnX01/?igshid=1goddez76psy6
