I realize members might not come forward but they should know that there is clear video of the entire incident and they will be contacted by BITS if they don’t‚” he wrote.

James had been invited to speak at the event‚ which was held to honor The Rev. Pamela Holmes‚ the department’s second female chaplain and the first black woman to hold that title. ‘Come on‚ we’re in a house of God… simmer down… thank you for getting it out of your system‚’ James said‚ before beginning her speech. James was speaking weeks after she won a $355 million judgment against Trump for inflating the value of his properties. He was also banned from business in New York for three years. The small‚ but noisy‚ section of the crowd ignored her calls for them to ‘simmer down’ and continued to boo for another minute – then loudly chanting ‘Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!’ Eventually‚ the hecklers ran out of steam‚ until James ad-libbed her speech as she thanked the firefighters who tried to save her mother‚ who died of breast cancer.

The director of a Holocaust film that won an award on Sunday night at the Oscars used his moment on stage to slam Israel with false claims about what is going on inside of Gaza. Jonathan Glazer — who directed “The Zone of Interest‚” a film about the life of a Nazi commandant who lived next to the Auschwitz concentration camp that won the Academy Award for Best International Film — first thanked all the institutions that helped him create the film. “All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present‚ not to say look what they did then‚ rather look what we do now‚” he said. “Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past and present.” “Right now‚ we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people‚” he continued. “Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel‚ or the ongoing attack on Gaza‚ all the victims of this dehumanization‚ how do we resist?” WATCH: Writer/director Jonathan Glazer stood at the #Oscars  and said‚ “We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict” There is a lot to debate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict‚ but let’s be clear -… pic.twitter.com/o0ksYjKTsi — Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) March 11‚ 2024 Hussain Abdul-Hussain‚ research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD)‚ slammed Glazer’s remarks. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “In reality‚ it was the end of Israel’s occupation of Gaza in 2005‚ and the dismantling of settlements‚ that led to several rounds of conflict culminating in the Hamas massacre of 1‚200 Israelis on October 7‚” he wrote. “Why not stick to acting or whatever he does in Hollywood?” Max Abrahms‚ an international security professor who specializes in terrorism‚ posted on X: “Someone should do a psychological study on Jews who support Hamas.” “If your received lesson from the Holocaust is to support Hamas then you haven’t drawn the right lesson‚” he continued. “And the award for drawing the completely wrong lesson about the Holocaust goes to… Jonathan Glazer.” Political and economic analyst Jake Novak posted: “To the horrible human being who just won the Oscar for his movie about the Holocaust: Jews are neither aggressors in Israel (your delusion) nor victims anymore (your fantasy). You enable the deaths of your fellow Jews by promoting that blood libel.” Science professor Gad Saad wrote “From the annals of: ‘If I engage in sufficient self-loathing‚ perhaps they’ll spare me.’ A clown who knows nothing about the relevant realities.” “Hamas commits mass murder against innocent Israeli civilians as part of a master plan to wipe Israel and Jews off the face of the earth‚” former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker posted on X. “Apparently this fool knows nothing of substance about the Holocaust. The ignorance of the elite is breathtakingly dangerous.” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) wrote: “The blatant anti-semitism at the #Oscars tonight was beyond disturbing. From the pro-Hamas red pins to the attacks on #Israel‚ these Hollywood useful idiots are carrying water for murderous terrorists who ban their films.” New York Post reporter Jon Levine posted: “Where is Will Smith when you need him?” Newsweek Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon wrote: “I simply cannot fathom the moral rot in someone’s soul that leads them to win an award for a movie about the Holocaust and with the platform given to them‚ to accept that award by saying‚ ‘We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness.'” This is a developing news story; refresh the page for updates.

Unlocking the secrets to raising emotionally resilient children becomes a science-backed adventure as you parent. Let’s dig further into the research to find the mindful strategy that will help your child’s emotional well-being. Unlocking emotional regulation: a mindful approach The purpose of emotional regulation in children is not to expect them to be calm all the time‚ but to prepare them to return to calmness quickly. As this new study published in Applied Research in Quality of Life underlines‚ learning to manage emotions begins early and is heavily influenced by parental behaviors. “We begin learning how to regulate emotions as early as our single-digit years‚ taking plenty of cues from how our parents regulate their emotions…or how they don’t.” Dispositional mindfulness: the foundation for compassionate parenting The study identifies dispositional mindfulness as an important aspect of developing emotionally balanced children. This kind of mindfulness entails “deliberately and impartially focusing on the experience right now.” It extends beyond the individual‚ cultivating compassion and nonjudgmental awareness of others. High dispositional mindfulness improves interpersonal interactions‚ which is essential for efficient parenting. Marital mindfulness: a blueprint for happier kids Long-term relationships have a significant impact on children’s mental health. Mindfulness in marriage greatly reduces emotional impulsivity during fights and improves communication abilities. The study emphasizes the importance of non-judgment in marital mindfulness‚ including active listening‚ accepting feelings without judgment‚ and self-regulation in reaction to a partner’s conduct. Parental mindfulness: a crucial link in the chain Parental mindfulness is a combination of dispositional and marital awareness. According to previous research‚ marital quality has a favorable impact on parenting practices‚ which in turn influences children’s emotional regulation skills. Effective parental conflict resolution serves as a model for children to acquire appropriate emotion management skills. The study proposes incorporating mindful parenting techniques‚ with a focus on emotion coaching. Emotion coaching: a mindful parenting tool Emotion coaching has emerged as an effective approach for mindful parenting. It entails parents being aware of their child’s feelings‚ welcoming them unconditionally‚ and engaging in open communication. Successful emotion coaching teaches youngsters how to comprehend‚ express‚ and manage their emotions. “Parents who are more successful in emotion coaching realize their children’s emotions‚ talk to them about these emotions‚ and allow them to experience and regulate their emotions‚” according to the authors of the study. In the fabric of parenting‚ every moment spent with your child shapes the environment in which they grow. Adopt a regulated‚ attentive‚ and compassionate approach—it’s the key to developing emotionally resilient children who flourish in a nurturing and understanding environment.  The post Nurturing emotional resilience and regulation in kids: a mindful parenting guide first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

At the heart of The Harris Poll is an unorthodox leadership team that defies generational assumptions. Will Johnson‚ who straddles the millennial and Gen X generations‚ teams up with seasoned CEO John Gerzema‚ a baby boomer with two decades of expertise. Together‚ they navigate the obstacles of heading to a prestigious institution created by Lou Harris‚ John F. Kennedy’s pollster. Balancing act: complementing strengths across generations Johnson critiques the assumption that age differences impede collaboration‚ focusing on their ability to balance each other’s strengths and limitations. He humorously notes‚ “He’s way more in with trends. So‚ in a lot of ways‚ I’m the older one‚ and he’s younger‚ which is fun.” Despite established generational differences‚ the duo discovers common ground‚ challenging the idea of irreparable divisions. Beyond the surface: nuances in workplace dynamics “People are way closer together than you would see by looking at the top lines‚” said Johnson. The Harris Poll’s examination of views in many places‚ such as Chicago‚ reveals common worries that cross generational lines. Johnson highlights the need to disrupt conventional perspectives‚ stating‚ “It’s almost people are way closer together‚ but you have to shake them out of the normal conventions of how they’re looking at things.” Macro differences‚ micro unity While there are macro variations‚ such as opinions toward job flexibility‚ Johnson believes that there is widespread agreement on bigger themes such as health‚ equality‚ and happiness. “There’s a middle ground of understanding‚ a yearning that cuts across all spectrums for some common ground and consensus‚” he says‚ rejecting the notion of insurmountable divides. Resolving disagreements: the art of finding middle ground Johnson acknowledges that he and Gerzema have occasional differences‚ but emphasizes the need to take a step back‚ develop empathy‚ and understand different points of view. He promotes mutual tolerance and genuine interest as elements of achieving common ground. He claims this method applies not only to leadership but also to managing a multigenerational workplace. The challenge of multigenerational workforces With five generations in today’s workforce‚ Johnson addresses the common perception of silenced voices among Gen Z and millennial workers and the concerns of workers over 50 who may feel excluded. He emphasizes the importance of representation‚ appreciating every voice at the table‚ and cultivating a genuine interest in other perspectives. Encouraging open dialogue: a path to consensus Johnson promotes open debate and honest expression of viewpoints in the workplace‚ where various experiences shape perspectives. He dismisses concerns about provoking arguments‚ arguing that respectful discourse‚ especially on delicate themes‚ adds to a good work atmosphere. The ultimate goal is to foster closer connections among employees who have wildly different worldviews. The Harris Poll’s distinctive leadership dynamic defies prejudices and provides a road map for managing generational diversity in the workplace. Johnson and Gerzema show that‚ despite age differences‚ leaders may achieve unity by emphasizing empathy‚ mutual respect‚ and a shared commitment to finding common ground. In a world filled with generational divides‚ their story stands as a testament to the potential for unity amid diversity.The post The surprising compatibility of co-CEOs from different generations first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
