Dear Colleagues,
Our own as well as the international turmoil continues as we prepare for elections on all fronts, but the international website “marches on” as usual.
Please note the post that I pick out for this week but do not ignore other posts, as many may find some of interest to them that I do not mention.
My choices this week:
1) I suggest that you listen to the haunting (translated from Russian) poems of Osip Mandelstam, and read the rest of the excerpt bells in the Wikipedia:
“Osip Emilyevich Mandelstam[1] (Russian: ********** ******************** ************************, IPA: [**os****p ****m**il**j**v****t**** m**nd****l******tam]; January 15
[O.S. January 3] 1891 *** December 27, 1938) was a Russian poet and essayist who lived in
Russia during and after its revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union. He was one of the foremost members of the Acmeist school of poets. He was arrested by Joseph Stalin’s government during the repression of the 1930s and sent into internal exile with his wife Nadezhda. Given a reprieve of sorts, they moved to Voronezh in southwestern Russia. In 1938 Mandelstam was arrested again and sentenced to a camp in Siberia. He died that year at a transit camp.”

5) I always find it amazing that we have to teach people how to understand children’s emotions, given as we have all been there and done that – i.e. been children. What a testimony to repression! Please read article by Ken Barish.
