text: Recently I've been thinking about our first night together. You would say, "No. Our second night in Florida." Whatever, it's still the same. I remember you asking for a cuddling partner, and me and John, trying to be funny sandwiched you. Then John, always trying to be funny, got up and cuddle with Leanna. They fell asleep, but we stayed awake for hours just cuddling. I've been thinking about how warm your body was, how you breathe through your mouth, the fruity smell of your hair that I could never get enough of and how your hair would always end up in my mouth. It didn't taste as good as it smelled. I've been thinking about how close we were. Our lips mere millimeters away. I was too scared to do anything. I thought it wasn't my place to do anything considering you had a boyfriend. I wasn't even sure you new what was happening because I know I had no idea. Then our lips touched. You pressed your lips against mine. We started making out and I thought, "Holly shit, this is actually happening." We continued to make out and somehow we managed to wake up John: "Could you guys be any louder?" He must be a light sleeper. He went back to our room and we went back to cuddling. You fell asleep and eventually so did I. Then next morning I woke up with you and realized it wasn't just another dream. That's where the confusion started.

title: Dear Erin,

question: Who is the narrator?

answer: The narrator is not described.

question: What is the narrator's relationship with Erin?

answer: John is a friend of the narrator's. He seems to be dating Leanna.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator writes a letter to Erin, reflecting on their first night together, which they spend cuddling and making out. He states that the confusion began the morning after.


text:
I AM THE RECTOR OF A BLACK PARISH THAT SELF-IDENTIFIES AS ANGLO-CATHOLIC.They greatly prefer music out of Lift Every Voice and Sing. They are vocal in response to my sermons. They play Gospel pandora stations when they’re hanging out in the Sunday School rooms. It confused me.

I really struggled with the question “Is this an Anglo-Catholic Parish?” or is this just one of those “That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” moments? But the more I talked with my parishioners, the more I got to know exactly what they believed and held dear about the Church and the Sacraments, the more I became convinced that they had their identity right. They knew what meant, and they meant what they said.

The identity issue was _my_ issue. Before I got here the Catholic revival and Euro-centrism were inexplicably tied in my mind. A high expression of Anglicanism meant a high expression of Anglophilia. Instead of hinging my hope on Catholic truth, I had hung my identity on an aesthetic, and a remarkably culturally-specific aesthetic at that.  I had fallen squarely into the trap that I worry many of my young Anglo-Catholic colleagues have fallen into as well.

So for the sake of charity, and for the sake of the expression of the Catholic faith that we know and love so well, let me be clear; We are in danger of making the Anglo-Catholic revival a white man’s movement.

It’s going to take some real introspection, prayer, and effort to keep that from being the case. Anglicanism in general is no longer a white movement. Even if we limit ourselves to the Episcopal Church a recent report shows that black and multi-cultural congregations are growing at a rate that substantially outpaces their white counterparts. (Check the report here.)

I’m not saying that growth is unequivocally good. What I am saying is that our Church is changing in its cultural composition at what is arguably the fastest pace since Reconstruction, and if we’re going to be a viable, meaningful witness to a Catholic vision of the Church then we have to do some work in ourselves and check when our aesthetic is getting in the way of that witness.

LET ADIAPHORA BE ADIAPHORA.

I will be the first to say that part of taking Church seriously is taking worship seriously. A liturgy that doesn’t act like the Blessed Sacrament is the center of our life and work is not worth anyone’s time, and it doesn’t serve any purpose other than to prop up a lifeless Christianity that is well on its way to irrelevancy. Worship that centers on Christ’s presence with us, that draws us into the mystery of the Altar and the holiness of God is worship that is worthy of our apostolic heritage.

There are things that are essential to that worship, and I’m inclined to believe that the list of essentials is longer than most folks in the broad church movement think it is, but that list is not all-encompassing.

I love a good Candlemas service as much as the next guy. It’s a beautiful, meaningful service that celebrates Christ’s light continuing to break into the world and into our lives. It is Anglican tradition at its finest. But if you’re serving in a predominately Hispanic context, then maybe you should throw that energy into and enthusiasm into a Mass around La Dia de Los Muertos or La Fiesta De Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe. (The Story of Our Lady and St. Juan Diego is one of the best stories of grassroots Catholic revival I’ve ever heard.)

I know that vestments are near and dear to every Anglo-Catholic heart, but I grew up in Florida, and I serve in Georgia. Lightweight vestments are my friend. They aren’t nearly as pretty as anything heavier, silk-lined, or brocaded, but they keep me from being a sweaty mess in front of the people of God, and allow me to still wear what priests in the apostolic tradition have seen fit to wear for centuries.When the temperature outside is hovering near a hundred, and the HVAC unit is screaming to keep the nave at eighty degrees.

WE ARE ONLY EVER PRIESTS IN CONTEXT.

It hurts a bit, to give up the things that we hold dearly. The feasts, the hymnody, even the language. But we have to do a better job of knowing what is essential to forming the people of God that we are called to serve and what are just our liturgical peculiarities and preferences. I’m not saying the two don’t ever fall in line, and we should always strive for excellence in worship, but we need to strive for excellence in worship that is speaking to people where they are.

In the Episcopal Church we have a very bad habit of saying “Wherever you are, you’re welcome here. But if you’re going to stay, then get on our level.” In High Church parishes that pressure can be amplified exponentially, and that is doing damage to our witness. We’re only priests because the people we serve make us priests, and unless we recognize that those people come with cultures and contexts that we can speak to, and live in, then we’re just a bunch of people in weird clothes speaking what may as well be the Latin Rite. (Except that there are some contexts where the Latin Rite is completely appropriate.)

We have to get out of our own way. That means recognizing the heart of Catholic truth, leaving what’s dead to bury their own, and taking that truth to the world.

question: What is the author's job?

answer: Rector of a Black parish that self-identifies as Anglo-Catholic.

question: What is the author's conundrum?

answer: An identity issue-the Catholic rival and Euro-centrism were inexplicably tied in the author's mind.

question: What does the author say about Anglicanism?

answer: In general, it's no longer a white movement.

question: What does the author think the church is in danger of doing?

answer: Making the Anglo-Catholic revival a white man's movement.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer: The author is a rector at a Black parish that self-identifies as Anglo-Catholic. They think that their church is in danger of making the Anglo-Catholic revival a white man's movement. They posit that Anglicanism is no longer a white movement, and admit that in their mind, the Catholic revival and Eurocentrism have been tied in the author's mind. The author makes the argument that growth and expansion are happening and will continue to happen, as they note blacka and multicultural congregations are growing at a much faster rate than their white counterparts even in just the Episcopal Church. The author also talks about their own dress of choice in their hot Georgia climate where they serve, and how their clothing differs from the more intricate, heavier garments typically worn by rectors. Growth is not always a good thing, they write, but it is necessary.

The weather was frigid; as it tends to be around January in Maine, and the snow fall was light. Around 9 in the morning I get a knock on the door that would soon throw my life into a plague of unforeseen repercussions. If I just had the hindsight that I do now I would have rushed to the porch to greet the dreaded deliverer of the thing if only to see their face. The unfulfilled wish to simply see the person responsible for my torment, if it even was a person, keeps me in a state of constant agitation that surely can’t be healthy.
* 	But what do I know about being healthy? I haven’t slept in nine months with a warm bottle being my only recompense. Its cries still ring in my mind. The thing was there, on my very own doorstep, just wailing. I feel as if it knows the agitation it brings, yet continues on despite my pleading. Night after night it whines and night after night I offer the abomination no respite for its pains. The gnashing cries have since become so deeply ingrained into my psyche that I remember not a day that I didn’t hear them every time silence was afforded me.
* 	The picture is one I will never be able to alleviate from my mind. The thing, lying there, disgustingly trying to crawl into my home, while always being repelled by the closed door. The blood dripping from its mouth, forming a puddle on the ground in which it lied. Just the idea of the situation feeds my own tragic sensibilities. There was no reason for me to let the monster into my home, but even still I feel like there was no reason for me to leave it to freeze on my doorstep. The way its skin flakes and peals to reveal a slippery, wet exterior leads me to believe it would have succumbed to the cold within minutes if I hadn’t of brought it in. The memory of that morning is perfectly vivid in its terror. I can still feel the oozing, pink flesh against my bare arms. I can still smell the rotten stench of an open wound.
* 	I know it isn’t a real human being and I know leaving it to die would have been the end of so many of my torturous devices, but I still hold in my being a moral obligation to care for it. This is surely insanity on my part? I was never quite capable of distinguishing one reality from another as it were to begin with. I even struggled with the question regarding the tangibility of the thing. Was it a leftover premonition from days that have long past or was it truly a living being? Its wheezing breath, appearing out of its ghastly mouth and fading into the air, led me to snatch the creature up and into my home. What happened from there is something that will haunt me even after my mortal flesh has turned to a puddle of goo under the ground.
* 	The first days that it was under my unqualified supervision I tried to feed it naturally. It refused both the synthetic milk and the natural milk from a human breast. How was it supposed to attain any sustenance? The question bounced back and forth throughout my mind, never alleviating my frantic state. It wasn’t until days after semi-formally adopting the thing did I learn, to my abject horror, that it preferred one form of bodily fluid over another. I had tried in vain to feed it something white, pure even. Instead it preferred to take nutrition from other ghastly sources: the veins of other beings. This new revelation is what assured me for the last time that the tiny, squealing, beast I had allowed into my home may carry a disfigured human form, but it is not at all a human itself. It is just masquerading in a suit of pain and frailty.
* 	Feeding it soon became my largest grievance. There was no way I could continue on letting it drain me of my own precious juices. After one of our sessions I would always descend into a state of fear and panic. Everything would become achingly cold to the touch, while my body shivered in constant pained seizures. After quietly enduring this for a period of months, I dreamed up a deliriously ghastly idea that I dare not repeat in all its gory depravity. When left with either myself wasting away or my wretched companion not getting the sustenance it so required, I was left with only one thing I could do.
*  I set out, late into the night, and stalked the shadows of the woods for my victim. I carried on my person only one small knife and an empty plastic bottle. The sensation of inflicting death is something that made me feel hollow, almost as if my very being had been emptied of all warmth and lightness. I vomited profusely a cascade of yellow and red once I had done it. Not only had my mind been emptied at this moment, but my body had quickly followed suit. Once I had collapsed into the snow the sobbing started. It was slow at first. I didn’t know who I shed so many tears for. Were they for myself? Were they for the lifeless corpse bleeding out next to me? Asking questions became an exercise in futility. The exact reason that I did it still evades me to this day.

GEORGY FILIMONOVICH KHARABORKIN (; 23 November 1905 6 July 1941) was a Red Army captain and a Hero of the Soviet Union. Kharaborkin was awarded the title for his leadership of a tank company in the Winter War, during which his company broke through the Mannerheim Line. He became a battalion commander in the 7th Mechanized Corps' 14th Tank Division after the end of the war. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Kharaborkin's unit was sent into combat, in an action known as the Lepel counterattack. Before the counterattack began, his corps commander sent Kharaborkin and a dozen heavy tanks on a reconnaissance in force to find fords across a river. The detachment was destroyed on the morning of 6 July when it ran into a German minefield covered by anti-tank guns and artillery, and Kharaborkin was killed.

Early life

Kharaborkin was born on 23 November 1905 in the village of Aleshenka in Oryol Governorate (now in Trubchevsky District, Bryansk Oblast) to a peasant family. He received lower secondary education and worked as a coal miner in the Donbass. Kharaborkin was drafted into the Red Army in 1927. He became a Communist Party of the Soviet Union member in 1929. In 1933, he graduated from the Oryol Tank School.[1]

Winter War

Kharaborkin fought in the Winter War, during which he commanded a tank company of the T-28-equipped 91st Tank Battalion of the 7th Army's 20th Tank Brigade. Kharaborkin fought in the Soviet breakthrough of the Mannerheim Line in February 1940. On 11 February, his company, attached to the 245th Rifle Regiment of the 123rd Rifle Division, led the attack on Hill 65.5 and the bunker “Poppius” near Lähde. During the attack, they suppressed several emplacements and blocked Finnish bunkers. The hill was captured by the evening of 11 February. The company had lost four T-28s in the attack.[2] On 13 February, Kharaborkin's company captured four guns from the Finnish and used them to fire on a fortified area. Kharaborkin was wounded, but remained in the battle. For his leadership, Kharaborkin was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin on 11 April.[3][4]

World War II

[Kharaborkin's gravestone in Beshankovichy] Kharaborkin became commander of the 1st Tank Battalion in the 27th Tank Regiment of the 14th Tank Division, part of the 7th Mechanized Corps.[5] After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the corps was ordered to counterattack German troops in what became known as the Lepel counterattack. On the morning of 6 July, before the counterattack began, Kharaborkin led a reinforced company-sized detachment of twelve KV-1 heavy tanks and two BT-7 light tanks to conduct a reconnaissance in force of crossing sites over the Chernogostitsa east of Beshankovichy, on the orders of corps commander Vasily Vinogradov. The reconnaissance in force was supported by artillery fire from the 14th Howitzer Artillery Regiment, sappers from the 27th Tank Regiment, and the 2nd Battalion of 14th Motor Rifle Regiment. However, German troops from the 20th Infantry Division (Motorized) had already occupied the ford and emplaced anti-tank mines there. When Kharaborkin's tanks attempted to cross the ford, four KVs struck mines and three were bogged down in the marshy ground. German PaK anti-tank guns and artillery fire opened up on the Soviet tanks, and Kharaborkin was killed. Seven tanks were abandoned in the river, and two with damaged suspensions were recovered under fire.[6] Kharaborkin was buried in Beshankovichy.[7] On 9 August, he was posthumously awarded the Order of the Red Banner.[8]

CANDI DASA, or often CANDIDASA is a seaside town on the eastern cost of Bali that rests on the edge of a fresh water lagoon, named Candi Dasa Lagoon. The town is centred around _Jalan Raya Candida_, where a number of hotels, restaurants, and shops line the main road. It is popular tourist stop, attracting divers and those looking for a more sedate alternative to the busy, nightclub filled Kuta area or the large, manicured resorts at Nusa Dua.[1]

History

[Lagoon in Candi Dasa.]

Most sources say a fishing village was founded on the site by the 12th century and before the modern name of _Candi Dasa_ was adopted it was known as both Teluk Kehen (“Bay of Fire”)[2] and Cilidasa. It is thought that the temple near the lagoon, with a statue of the fertility goddess Hariti surrounded by a group of children is the origin of the name _cilidasa_ which translates from Balinese as “ten children”. Many Balinese who want to have children go on pilgrimage to this temple to pray [3] The modern name is thought to be a corruption of this older name.

The town began to catch on as a tourist destination in the 1970s. The diving and snorkeling in the area brought many tourists and the village began to grow. Hotels, villas, and restaurants popped up along the main strip, and in more recent years, atms, health clinics, and mini marts are also found here. Apart from great diving and snorkeling, the town provides easy access to other destinations in eastern Bali.

Beach erosion

As tourism boomed in the 1970s and 1980s, Candidasa received a large amount of investment in tourism and a construction boom occurred. To fuel the construction of beach bungalows, new homes and restaurants, the offshore reef was mined for lime to make cement and other construction materials. This removed the coastal barrier that had protected the beach which was undermined and washed away.

During the 90's local hotel owners constructed a series of t-shaped groins jutting out into the water in an attempt to preserve the beach, with mixed results.[4] However, with government programs to stop erosion and more awareness of the importance of the reefs, the beaches are now somewhat recovered.

Diving

Candidasa is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. There are three islands just of the coast: Gili Tepekong, Gili Mimpang and - a bit further north-east, Gili Biaha. All three offer excellent diving, especially for more experienced divers. Currents can be quite strong and surprising, but most of the dive centres in Candidasa have experienced dive instructors and guides to lead the way. Other dive sites include the Jetty (in between Candidasa and Padang Bai), which is a paradise for macro fans.

In the area

Candidasa is a great base for explorations in East Bali. Only about 15 minutes to the east is the Virgin Beach, one of the most beautiful and natural beaches in Bali. Also close by is the village of Tegunan Pegringsingan, one of the oldest villages in Bali. This is an interesting place to visit if you are interested in the history and unique culture of the area.

The large Lotus Lagoon on the main road in Candidasa is a favorite stop for photographs. At sunset it is especially pretty as a backdrop for some holiday snaps.

_“JH: Be there in 20!”_

_“NW: ok. Just finished,”_

_“JH: You taking the train?”_

_“NW: yes. It’s raining.”_

_“JH: I can see that. See you soon!”_

_“NW: ok.”_

_“JH: Did you pass btw?”_

_“NW: Patience, Carrots.”_

_“JH: Just tell me…”_

_“NW: Losing reception now. See you there.”_

Judy groaned, realizing she should have asked the question first. Give a fox time and they’ll use it to their advantage. Give a fox like Nick time and he’ll probably mess with you. She found herself looking out the window, below which her phone had been resting. At least he wasn’t lying to her.

Given the miniscule size of what others would barely call a room, more like a hole in the wall, Judy needed only reach slightly behind her to grab her rainclothes. She could have done it on the bed as well, and she probably would have had it not been for the anxiety. Despite the seemingly nonchalant tone Nick had taken over text, this whole pass or fail matter arguably meant more for her than him. If he had failed, Judy would be alone on the job, with probably less time to so much as talk to Nick, who, while not a cop like her, assisted her to such a degree in solving the Missing Mammals case that she started calling him a junior detective. Nick would have his conartistry to fall back on, which would eventually lead to an ironic encounter where Judy would be professionally forced to arrest him. If he had passed, they’d be formally partners in crime and could more easily continue their friendship. Judy had to admit, while she knew much more than the average mammal knew about Nick, the case hadn’t run for that long. They never had time to really _talk_ , aside from that one rare emotional time in the skytram.

Judy would have loved to reminisce on that wholesome moment, but the thought of it all going wrong kept her on edge. She was good under pressure, but not when it came to potentially losing somebody important to her.

Grabbing her umbrella from the uncomfortably narrow closet, Judy tried to think as optimistically as she could. Who in the right mind would have that winky-face attitude if they had failed the academy final, and would be rejected the opportunity to enroll in the Zootopia Police Department? Someone who didn’t care? Someone with an overly easy-going personality, perhaps.

_Oh_ , she thought. _That’s Nick._ Shaking her head briefly, she stepped outside for the first time. It was as if the sun had found her eyes. A beam of light protruded onto her and illuminated her gaze into the scenic urban landscape, crowded with early risers. Not finding a cloud in sight, Judy couldn’t help but grin, her ears spiking upwards. But then she looked down, noticed her attire of a raincoat and boots, felt the umbrella in her hand, and then stared back outwards at the sunlight. Unlucky on the timing, but still lucky regardless. If she were more spiritual, she might have taken the beautiful day as a good omen, a sign that Nick had actually passed.

And now she would have to go back up and change. Her smile slowly faded into a pout and she groaned in annoyance. It was more indirect than aimed at anybody. She certainly didn’t blame  Nick for unnecessarily warning her about the rain that would stop minutes later. He probably hadn’t had time to look at the weather anyway, assuming he was the slightest modium of nervous.

Nonetheless, Nick must be tired by now, having gone through the entire final evaluation early in the morning. Judy suspected that, when he’d come up from the underground train station, he’d be happy to see the sun, just as she was.

Or would he? Her ears perked up in realization and she paused. Her hand lay frozen on the doorknob mid-twist. With the other hand, she fished for her phone in her right pocket. A grin crept back up on her face as she started typing furiously.

“ _JH: Hey look! The sun came out!”_

Keeping her phone grasped within her hand, only now did Judy open the door and begin to walk outside. As she reached the stairs that would lead to the outside again, she typed again, having received no response.

“_JH:_ _“That got me thinking, what’s your phone carrier, anyway? Must be pretty cheap if just a little rain and clouds are killing your reception. Well maybe it’d have helped if your train went through some tunnels to block some of that deadly precipitation. Unfortunately for you, the last time I checked, the Z-Train runs exclusively outdoors! And you’re definitely riding it right now ‘cause a sly fox would never willingly add forty-five minutes to his commute by some indirect way! So you oughta fess up and give me those test results or you might just find your partner isn’t a dumb bunny, but a giant elephant who’ll undoubtedly step on you.”_

Again, no response, but Judy didn’t need Nick to tell her she had caught him deep in a lie. He had been procrastinating telling her the results, but for what? Judy forgot to ask herself, and just for the moment, she didn’t mind. She was having too much fun, silently giggling to herself. As the flashing dots appeared on her screen, indicating that Nick was typing back, her lower lip raised in attempt to hold in her snickering. When his response came through however, she couldn’t help but burst into triumphant laughter.

“ _NW: Clever rabbit._ ”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite leaving late, Judy managed to arrive at the train station ten minutes early. Turns out that when nervous or excited, she tended to jog. She probably would have ran, but her leg was still in pain from when she tore it running from Bellwether. All the obstacle courses the Academy put her through during her training, and she nearly skewered herself on a life-sized mammoth tusk. Letting out a reminiscent sigh, she shook her head lightly. No matter how long the media decided to talk about the Missing Mammals Case, Judy knew the sooner she moved on from Bellweather, the better. It wasn’t like the sheep was going anywhere.

Judy fit her way through the crowds of mammals, most of which towered over her in size, and situated herself on the edge of the Z-Train’s platform. Her eyes eventually caught the sunbeam reflecting off the incoming train in the distance. As the crowds of people moved in closer, either from impatience of waiting or anticipation to meet with whomever was on the other side, Judy fixed her triumphant smile she had assumed back home. She’d never miss an opportunity to rub something in Nick’s face, especially when it was beating him at his own game of wit.

The train’s wheels screeched on the tracks as the cars slowed to a gradual stop. As the reminder to give the exiting passengers space played over the intercom, every mammal on the platform rushed the train doors. Judy could have said something about the hazard they were making, but she figured that without her police uniform nobody would take her seriously. She just had to wait a few moments until she saw a fox with a reddened coat of fur and an auburn tail. From a distance, they almost looked the same height, but she knew from too many encounters that he had about half a foot over her.

“Real smooth there on that phone, buddy.” Holding that same victorious expression, Judy eyed Nick approaching her from the train and crowds of mammals stampeding out. “Bunny got your tongue?”

Nick, with his usual, smug and sly grin, rolled his eyes and retorted with no hesitation. “Yeah, you’ll have to forgive a fox who’s been up since five and dare I say, decaffeinated, if it takes him a while for his brain to start working. Sorry to disappoint.”

Judy scanned him over quickly before firing back a snicker that widened her smile. He was wearing his usual trademark attire of a green, untucked button down shirt and loose khakis down below. And the purple striped tie, of course. Normally he would have had his hands in his pockets, but one arm was holding the bagged gym clothes he had worn for the physical part of the final. The other seemed unoccupied, yet Nick held it behind his back. Stealing a suspicious glance at Nick’s side, Judy noticed he wasn’t moving and decided to take the lead by walking first. It didn’t take long for him to slide into place beside her on the platform. The aftermath of physical activity did not leave Nick entirely energetic. As he walked, he slightly lagged behind her and Judy could hear his barely noticeable pants under his cool, nonchalant facade.

“So,” she asked, growing impatient and increasingly anxious at the same time. “Did you pass or not?”

“Hm?” Nick peeled his eyes away from the ground and raised his eyebrows at her dramatically. “Pass what?” he asked, invoking a questioning tone.

“Nick, the _test_ ,” she moaned, crawling her hands into her head and over her ears so they drooped downwards. “For the love of all the carrots growing underground, enough with the games and just tell me!”

“You’re very impatient,” noted Nick, shaking his head before gazing up with a grin. “And that’s coming from me, the actual _hustler_ here. I’d expect a bunny from the countryside like you to take a deep breath,” he paused to inhale at an overly slow rate, and added “and just take in the scenery” before exhaling. “I’ve found it very meditative and it keeps me from asking about things like test results! You should try it some time.”

“You know, you are so inconsiderate sometimes. It’s like you don’t care.”

Nick nodded in agreement. “Not a care in the world. Funny how that’s the secret to life but everyone misses it. Getting up early, rushing to work, asking mammals about _test results_ ? Sheesh, do you do that to all your friends or just me?”

“I can’t _stand_ you!” Judy blurted out. She tried to hold her frustrated tone and posture but ended up giggling silently. Sometimes Nick felt like her older brother, the kind she’d put up with simply _because_ . She knew Nick took advantage of this and hated that she laughed, trying to hide the smile that crept out of her face. When they bickered, her laughing was often an unintentional way of egging Nick on to continue his ridiculous mockery of everything.

“Oh, come on, Carrots, you’re not actually _that_ annoyed. If you couldn’t stand me you’d have run away a long time ago.”

“You know?” Judy replied, having managed to stop the laughter and face him again. “I just might if you don’t tell me! And don’t think I won’t actually run ‘cause my leg, either.”

Nick paused, cocked his head, returned her stare, and said, “Okay, rabbit. Now you’re just making me feel bad.” With a sigh, he reached out from his back pocket and revealed a rolled up sheet of paper. To Judy it was like the holy grail and angels may have well have been singing, even though she had yet to read the results.

Judy didn’t thank him, but her immensely heavy sigh of relief signaled to Nick just as much, if not more, gratitude. She carefully took the paper from him, having reminded herself not to tear it out of his hand no matter how frustrating the entire exchange had been. Unrolling the paper, she took a deep breath before her eyes darted for the important words. Of course, on school report cards these would be letters ranging from A to F, but notifications were harder to carve words out of as they varied in length and style. In this case, Judy found herself staring at a typed up letter. Knowing the Academy at which Nick had trained, she assumed it was automated. After all, they weren’t exactly warm and welcoming when she trained there. Fortunately, having received a letter just like this when she was applying, she knew what to look for. The famous C word, which was often the first word and usually came with an exclamation point. If that word appeared in any way, shape, or form, there was no reason to read anything else.

“Congratulations…!” Judy cried out after a sigh. It was less to Nick and more of a victory cry upon finding the word.

“Mhm, and look behind that.” In the time she took to browse the letter, Nick had inched closer to her, looking over her shoulder at the forms. Under the letter of acceptance was the certificate. Vines ornated the borders right above the Academy Master’s and Nick’s signature. Written in bold, large letters were the words:

_NICHOLAS P. WILDE _

_Has been officially integrated into the Zootopia Police Department_ .

_Many thanks for his participation and may he proudly provide his exemplary service_ .

_This form was issued to the above officer on Saturday, February 19, 2019_

“Not sure why they’re so bombastic,” Nick said, breaking the silence. “Or why they couldn’t just tell me in p-”

“You passed!” Judy interrupted, peeling her eyes off the certificate and peering up to him. Nick had been awfully close to her, but as a courtesy he stepped back so she could level her head.

“Mhm. I sure did.” Taking an exaggerated bow, he showed no more additional excitement through his trademark grin, but Judy could almost sense he was internally grateful. At least, hopefully. She on the other hand, was often an emotional wreck. She felt a tear creep up in her eye and promptly reached towards her face to wipe it way.

“That’s...that’s amazing! I don’t know what to say except…” she paused, thinking of something fitting. After a few seconds, she continued, “...welcome to the force, Officer Wilde.”

The name caused Nick to briefly grimace and furrow his brow. “Ugh...please never call me that again.” The hand that had been holding the papers now fell into his pocket, and he adjusted his grip on the dirty clothes at his side.

“You’ll get used to it,” Judy said, shifting her attention to the certificate and admission letter to roll them up. By now, more mammals had stepped onto the platform to await the arrival of the next Z-Train. Sounds of talking and laughing that had seemed eerily absent as Judy was anxiously prodding Nick for his results slowly returned. Briefly panning her eyes around the station as she wrapped the papers back in the ribbon, Judy felt her heart rate return to a normal pace, her breathing to a steady rate, and her mind to a relaxed state. Only now did she allow herself the freedom to consider what Nick’s next step was. For a moment, she had to search through all the remnants of worry about whether such a step even existed for him.

Carefully grasping the roll of papers in her hand, she handed it back to Nick, facing him again. “Yeah, once you get your badge at tomorrow’s ceremony, the whole cop life will start to really settle in!”

“There’s a ceremony?” Nick raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

With a smile, Judy replied, “Seven-thirty on the spot.”

“Don’t they notice that all criminals start their days after nine? Tell me, when was the last time you heard of police doing work at seven-thirty?”

“Hmm...actually, recently! I know of one case where a meter maid bunny got this really once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprehend a savage otter. Legend has it that she traded in a whole night’s worth of sleep for a gondola lift conversation with...wait here’s the best part, a fox!” Judy finished her sentence with an eyeroll. Just the fox being facetious again.

“Well, you don’t say? Did the fox really want to stay up and talk to this meter maid or was it just that an ego-maniac buffalo made him restless?”

“Actually, no. They say the fox is the one who started the whole thing.”

“Well that would make sense.” He leaned closer so that his head was more level hers. “Now I just happen to be a fox, so I can let you in on a little secret. Foxes get really talkative when they grow restless.” Shrugging, he stood up straight again, speaking his next remark through a smug face. “I just hope he didn’t bore the cop too much about how he was going to get back at the buffalo.”

That caused Judy to let out a final groan, sent another eyeroll towards his way, and drop the matter. For some reason she was trying to get a semi-serious response from him there. Something along the lines of _Maybe the fox was trying to open up to and befriend the little meter maid!_ But as she started to glance ahead of her once more she realized how futile it was. Part of her wondered if he could even help not showing his serious side. It seemed to only reveal when absolutely necessary. Judy recalled another incident aside from their conversation that night. She had apologized for insulting him during the press conference about predators going savage, for implying that predators were biologically predisposed to it. Even then, he had managed to make a joke with her carrot pen, but his tone had become so tender in that moment that she knew it was his rare, serious side showing.

“Either way, what I think you were trying to say was,” she found her previous smile and toned her voice slightly higher, “you never know when you’re needed as a cop, and now that you’re dedicated to the force, you should be more than happy to wake up early.”

Nick had to restrain himself from laughter. “‘Dedicated’?”

“What?” The abruptly inquisitive tone of her question caused her voice to unintentionally shift up an even higher octave. As Judy twisted her head back to look at him, she noticed some eyes darting their way, and her upright ears even overheard a conversation about them talking loudly. Not wanting to start a scene, but still intending to show concern for Nick, Judy stepped an inch towards him and lowered her voice to a near-whisper. “You’re not already having second thoughts, are you?”

“Carrots, until I’m sure I can trust whatever characters are in the ZPD, yeah dedicated’s probably the _last _ word we should use here.”

Maintaining her quieter tone of voice, which she found not only relieving for her vocal cords but quite effective at getting her point across, Judy lightly punched him on the shoulder. “Oh shush, you. What, do you think someone’ll grill you for your...former shiftiness?”

She had caught herself just in time not to say “criminal,” a word too blunt and dangerous where others could have been eavesdropping. Regret filled up inside of her head just after she asked the question, knowing full well that much of their success as a team was rooted in Nick’s questionable background. Judy had to wonder how she would have handled it had the circumstances been different. Even if it wasn’t in her jurisdiction to arrest him for a federal offense, if she hadn’t been in desperate need of help when she discovered his tax evasions, the soon-to-be Officer Wilde may have been on the other side of the cells. The lack of an immediate response told her Nick must have been pondering something as well.

After what seemed like thirty seconds, Nick broke the silence with a scoff. His full grin rejuvenated as he shook his head. which Judy took as a return to casualness and a signal to continue walking. “Well, yeah, now that you mention it. I’m sure at least a couple of my...uh, let’s call them past affiliates... _weaseled_ their way into becoming cops.” Judy was about to say something, a smile appearing on her face, but he stopped her with a finger in the air. “No, _not_ Duke Weaselton. Sure, he’s a weasel himself, but if he weaseled his way into the ZPD then I might as well be a rhino.”

“Actually, I was going to say he’d be a...reasonable asset to the force.”

“Okay, no. Flash would have a better chance.”

“The sloth?”

“Yep, cause at least he doesn’t talk himself in circles and look for trouble.”

“Nick, he literally barely talks! At least, not more than half a word a second.”

“Oh no, that’s just when he’s at the DMV. Trust me. There’s a reason people call him Hundred Yard Dash.”

That caused Judy to shake her head with a snicker. “Why do I get the feeling you’re talking Flash up so that I forget about Weaselton?”

Nick only shrugged with a half smile in return, but quickly continued his point. “He also didn’t throw a toothpick in your face, so I would be A. O.K. with him joining.”

Judy shot a confused look at him, stepping to the side to give a mother giraffe with her child walking room. “That’s really not that big of a d-”

“N-n-n-no shh!” Nick rose his index finger in interjection. “Throwing toothpicks at you equals no ZPD. I’m afraid that’s the final deal.”

After an unconscious chuckle, Judy looked away and felt a warm feeling. Nick would barely ever let down his emotional barrier, but there were times when he tossed her a piece of his heart from underneath the cracks. Turning to face Nick directly, she replied thoughtfully although she didn’t expect him to egg her on.

“No Weasel on the force then, got it. Thanks for looking out for me.”

“Oh, it’s just what we do at the ZPD, isn’t that right?”

She rolled her eyes and gave a sigh that widened her smile. “I see you’re already catching on.” Like Nick wouldn’t look out for her anyway.

“What can I say, Carrots. Foxes are quick. At least when they’ve had their morning coffee.”

“Is that a request?” Judy glanced over her shoulder casually as they crossed the first street since exiting the station.

“Wait, it wasn’t okay for me to assume we weren’t automatically going to that Snarlbucks around the corner?”

“Well now that you mention it, that sounds like a plan. Roger that, Officer Wilde.”

“You’re going to milk that dry, aren’t you?”

“Yes. Yes I am.”

question: Are the characters human?

answer: Implied that no they are not, the use of "fox" and "mammals" seems very literal.

question: Is Nick a police officer?

answer: Initially he's just a con artist who helps Judy, but he passes his exam to get into ZPD so yes

question: Why does Nick avoid answering whether he passed the exam to get into ZPD?

answer: He's embarrassed

question: What type of animal is Judy?

answer: A rabbit

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: In a world populated by sentient animals, police officer Judy is eager to hear about her defacto partner Nick Wilde's results for the exam to enter the ZPD. He avoids answering whether he's gotten in. She eventually reads the letter of acceptance and gives Nick a hard time calling him "Officer Wilde."

Research shows kick counting, keeping a daily record of a baby’s movements (kicks, jabs, rolls and punches) during the third trimester, is an easy, free and reliable way to monitor a baby’s well-being in addition to regular prenatal visits.

Download a printable _Count the Kicks_ PAPER CHART HERE.

[How to Count Kicks]

WANT TO LEARN MORE? HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS:

-   Pick your time based on when your baby is usually active. Research shows that babies are often the most active at night.
-   To get started, sit with your feet up or lie on your side. Count each of your baby’s movements (kicks, jabs, pokes and rolls) as one kick and tap the foot on the app until you reach 10 movements.
-   Every pregnancy and every baby is different. For example, Sarah may be able to record 10  movements for her baby in 10 minutes, but Megan’s baby may take 30 minutes to record 10 movements. If Sarah finds that it is taking her baby an hour to record 10 movements, she knows that is a change in her baby’s normal movement pattern, so she should contact her healthcare provider right away. The most important thing is to count your baby’s kicks every day so you will know what is normal for YOUR baby.
-   Babies don’t run out of room or slow down at the end of pregnancy. Babies should move up to and even during labor.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! Don’t hesitate to contact your provider or go to the hospital if you notice a change in what’s normal for your baby. Your provider will want to hear from you with any concerns during your pregnancy.

LATEST RESEARCH SHOWS THAT A SUDDEN, WILD SURGE OF MOVEMENT IS ANOTHER INDICATION TO CALL YOUR PROVIDER.

To properly use the _Count the Kicks_ app, we recommend you have a kick counting session in the app every day in the third trimester, preferably at the same time each day. Set a reminder on the app to remember to count, pay attention to the strength of your baby’s movements in addition to the amount of time it takes to get to 10 movements, and speak up to your provider immediately if the strength of your baby’s movements become weaker or if you notice a change in the amount of time it takes your baby to get to 10.

question: What does the "Count the Kicks" app do?

answer: Count the Kicks app helps you keep a record of your baby's movements during the third trimester.

question: How do you count the kicks?

answer:
- Pick a time when your baby is active.
- Sit with your feet up or lie on your side.
- Count each of your baby's movements (kicks, jabs, rolls) as one kick and tap the foot on the app until you reach 10 movements.

question: What is the average baby movement?

answer: This information can't be found.

question: When should you start using the app?

answer: During the third trimester.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer:
"Count the Kicks" is an app that helps pregnant women count their baby's movements.

The app suggests you sit your feet up or lie on your side and then count each of your baby's movements as one kick and tap the foot on the app until 10 movements are complete.

It is recommended to have a kick counting session every day in the third trimester, preferably at the same time each day.

THE CITY HALL OF TORHOUT () was the residence of the mayor and the bench of aldermen during their meetings up until the completion of the new City Hall in 2014. It is located on the market in the center of Torhout, West Flanders, Belgium.[1]

Predecessors

Torhout received its city privileges in 1183–1184 from Count Philip I of Flanders. At this time the city was already growing in size, and, thanks to the newly received privileges, a City Hall could be built. The first City Hall was built on exactly the same place as the current one, but in 1184 it was located near the Cloth Hall, the Belfry, the church, the wool market and the cloth market. The City Hall stood firm until Torhout was attacked in 1578 during the religious troubles of the late 16th century. The church's interior and archive documents (from the 11th-16th century) from the City Hall were already burned and destroyed by the Geuzen during the Beeldenstorm of 1566, but this time most of the medieval buildings, including the church, the City Hall, the Cloth Hall and the hospital, were lost.[2]

[Torhout in 1641, the City Hall can be seen on the left.]

Torhout slowly recovered from the damage that was inflicted in 1578 and finally managed to build another City Hall in the early 17th century some 20 meters southwest from the original City Hall's location. The second City Hall can be seen on the left side of a 1641 drawing from the book _Flandria Illustrata_. This City Hall only had a short existence as it was destroyed in a fire in 1647.

History of the current City Hall

The City Hall that still stands to this day was built in German Baroque style during the period of 1711 to 1713 on the request of Charles III Philip, Lord of Wijnendale. His family crest can still be found above the front entrance of the building. The building stood on its own until 1806, when a prison was built right next to it. The prison only stood until 1864 before being demolished and replaced with a music school. Other buildings also joined the City Hall, including a printing office and some regular houses. There were plans to demolish the City Hall during the 19th century because it was getting too small; it was saved from this fate because of money shortage.[3]

World War I

Torhout was occupied by the invading German army on 15 October 1914 and the City Hall was turned into a German Kommandantur. The city itself was located only 20 kilometers from the trenches so it was used as a hospital and resting city by the Germans. Because of the close range, a number of bombs fell on the city as well as some bombardments from the Allies during 1916. The war was a big blow to the city, many buildings were destroyed or damaged during the bombardments but miraculously the City Hall was unharmed despite the music school located right next to it being severely damaged. During the final weeks of the war the Allies advanced and made their way to Torhout. During this time the Germans panicked and decided to loot Torhout as well as to destroy any strategic places in the city. This resulted in the destruction of the Train station, some schools, all remaining windmills (some medieval) and the church tower. The German Kommandatur left the city on 10 October 1918, leaving the City Hall unoccupied and also luckily undamaged. During the Battle of Torhout-Tielt from 14-30 October 1918, the last of the Germans were chased out of the city and the Allies were received as heroes in the badly damaged city on 18 October 1918.

Post-war

Torhout licked its wounds after the war and tried to repair as much of the damage as possible. They managed to repair the church as well as most of the houses and schools which were afflicted in the conflict. The City Hall regained its former title as City Hall and its surrounding buildings were repaired as well.

World War II

War terrorized Torhout again as Belgium was invaded by the German army in May 1940. On 25 May 1940 Torhout was bombarded by the Luftwaffe, with fire bombs resulting in the destruction of the church as well as some nearby houses. The City Hall was unharmed even though it was only located some 50 meters from the church. On that same day the King of Belgium was just a mile or two away in the Castle of Wijnendale together with the Prime Minister and three other ministers. It was there that the king would sign the capitulation of Belgium, which resulted in the Royal Question after the war. Torhout was bombed again on 26 May, 27 May and 13 August, which damaged the hospital and some schools. Torhout was occupied for 4 years before Canadian troops liberated the city on 6 and 7 September 1944. It was also during the occupation that the City Hall was classified as a monument on 29 November 1943.

Rest of the 20th century

The City Hall's interior was modernised in 1949, but the 18th-century stucco ceilings, with depictions of musical instruments, archers and writing tools, were lost. The rear side of the building was also reconstructed during 1951–1952. The surrounding houses near City Hall were demolished between 1950 and 1980, making it a stand-alone building. City Hall was also restored during 1995–1997.

Modern day

City Hall was classified as architectural heritage on 5 October 2009, and the building celebrated its 300th birthday in 2013 and was therefore decorated with red ribbons. City Hall continued to be used by the mayor and the bench of aldermen until 2014, when a new City Hall was built. After the new City Hall became operational, the old City Hall was given a new purpose, and it now serves as the tourist information center. There is also a large car park located behind City Hall where the former prison, printing office and music school stood.

This was my first short story I had to write for my Creative Writing class back when I was a Junior in high school. I hope you like it!

    "Ooohhhh," Helen groaned. She hurt everywhere. Being in a hospital for six weeks is really something that she wasn't looking forward to. She was about to call for a nurse to change the channel on her tiny tv (golf was not her thing!) when all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. "Come in," she called weakly.

   "Hello, I'm Dr. Bandade, how are you feeling?" He smiled a toothy smile.

   She gave the burly man a sarcastic look. "How do you *think* I'm feeling? I fell out of a five-story window!"

    The doctor pulled up a chair next to her. "Yes about that, how exactly did it happen? On this statement is says that you were pushed?"

    Helen cringed at the very thought of it, not only because it was painful, but she wasn't sure if he would believe her. "Well, it started out as a normal day. I woke up, ate breakfast, completed the daily crossword puzzle in the paper.

    "It was then I noticed that my window was open. A cool breeze swept through, so I decided to close it. I got up and went over to the window.

    "Right as I reached out to grab the handle, Rufus, my cat, rubbed against my leg, causing me to lose my balance. Before I knew it, I was falling out the window!

    "I screamed. I heard people screaming below me. I felt breathless. Panic swept over me.

    "It was only too soon when I came into contact with the ground. I heard bones shattering and I cried out in pain. In the distance, sirens wailed. The ambulance charged down the street.

    "After they put me on the stretcher, they hauled me away to the hospital, where they told me I was lucky to even be alive. They said I broke every bone in my body. I'll be here about six weeks, if not more." Her face fell when she told the doctor this. "And that's all that happened."

    Dr. Bandade looked over at her. "So you fell out accidentally then."

    "No! I was *pushed* out!" she yelled.

    "But you even said that you lost your balance, and no one was with you."

    "Yes there was... Rufus! *He* pushed me out!"

    The doctor rationalized, "But he's a *cat.* He probably didn't realize that rubbing against you to show affection would-"

    But Helen cut him off. "He *deliberately* rubbed too hard and made me lost my balance."

    "What would be the purpose for Rufus to push you?" The doctor raised an eyebrow.

    "He's just evil," she simply said.

    "Oh." He wrote some things down on his clipboard.

    Helen stared at him suspiciously. "What kind of doctor are you anyway, asking me all these questions?"

    "I'm a psychiatrist." He wrote some more things down.

    "What? You think I'm crazy don't you?! I'm telling you, my cat is trying to *kill me!"*

    Before Dr. Bandade could say anything, there was a knock at the door.

    "Excuse me, doctor," the nurse said, "but there's someone here to see her."

    Helen perked up a bit. A visitor to see her!

    The visitor walked into the room.

    "Rufus!" Helen shrieked.

    Standing there was the tabby cat. He was staring at her with glossy green eyes, slanted into slits. His tail twitched as if to say, "I'm *back."*

title: Paranoid?... Or just plain evil?

question: Why does Rufus want to kill Helen?

answer: It is unlikely that a pet would want to kill its owner as the owner is its source of nourishment. Perhaps Helen is unkind to Rufus

question: Why is Helen convinced that Rufus deliberately pushed her from the window?

answer: She may be delusional or perhaps Rufus is just plain mean.

question: How did the nurse know that Rufus was visiting Helen since cats can't talk?

answer: The discussion must be a figment of Helen's imagination

question: How can the cat rubbing against Helen's legs propel her out of the window?

answer: This is unlikely and must be another figment of Helen's imagination. She imagines the cat is evil and wants her dead which is why she is talking to a psychiatrist.

question: Write a ~8 sentence summary.

answer:
Helen hurts everywhere. She isn’t looking forward to spending six weeks in hospital. Helen tells Dr Bandade that she was pushed from a 5-storey window.

The doctor tries to convince Helen that this is irrational but Helen is adamant that the cat, Rufus deliberately rubbed up against her legs when she was reaching out of the window and pushed her out. Helen reasons that the cat is evil.

The doctor, a psychiatrist, is just about to argue about the point when the nurse walks in a declares that Helen has a visitor. Rufus walks in. He has an evil look in his eye.

MUMBAI MARATHI or the EAST INDIAN LANGUAGE is a dialect of Marathi with significant Portuguese influences and loanwords.[1] Although it does not have a unique script, scripts of the other languages native to the regions its speakers inhabit are used. Devanagari and Latin is used by most of the speakers. East Indian is very popular language used for songs and dramas.

Differences from standard Marathi

All pronouns have a change from yah to te . Words in Marathi for yes, where, here, there, have different East Indian counterparts. Other grammatical nuances differ from standard-spoken Marathi.[2]

Historical references

From the early days of the East India Company, there were no other Indian Christians in the North Konkan except the East Indian Catholics. Employments that were intended for Christians, were the monopoly of the East Indians. With development, came in railways and steamship, a boon for the travelling public. And with that came a number of immigrants from Goa who were also known as Portuguese Christians. The British found it expedient to adopt a designation which would distinguish the Christians of North Konkan who were British subjects and the Goan, who were Portuguese subjects (Mangalorean Catholics were no Portuguese subjects at this point any more). Accordingly, on the occasion of The Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the Christians of North Konkan, who were known as “Portuguese Christians” discarded that name and adopted the designation “EAST INDIAN”. By the adoption of the name “East Indian” they wanted to impress upon the British Government of Bombay that they were the earliest Roman Catholic Subjects of the British Crown in this part of India, in as much as parts of Bombay, by its cession in 1661, were the first foothold the British acquired in India, after Surat. As the children of the soil, they urged on the Government, that they were entitled to certain natural rights and privileges as against the immigrants.[3]

A confidential Spanish military report on the death of a Spanish UN peacekeeper in Israeli shelling in Lebanon said he was manning a post that appeared to have been targeted, a newspaper reported Sunday.

El Pais cited extracts from the report which drew on testimony from soldiers following the January 28 incident when the Israeli military shelled border areas following a Hezbollah attack that left two Israeli soldiers dead.

Corporal Ivan Lopez Sanchez, who was stationed nearby, told investigators that the UN position was clearly targeted.

"Every time, they corrected the trajectory from Majidiye to the 4-28" post, where the UNIFIL peacekeepers were stationed, he said.

Spain and Israel have agreed to carry out a joint probe into the death of 36-year-old corporal Javier Soria Toledo.

Another Spanish soldier, Sergeant Julio Xavier Garcia, echoed Sanchez, saying the shells initially fell about 500 metres (yards) north of the UN post and then they "corrected the trajectory towards the position."

A third soldier said fragmentation bombs were used in the attack and that the shelling finally appeared to target the main watch tower.

El Pais quoted a UN report which said that Israel had warned the UN peacekeepers at 11:40 am not to venture out, without giving any explanation.

Between 11:48 am and 1:43 pm, nearly 120 artillery shells, 90 mortar grenades and five projectiles were fired in the area, El Pais quoted the report as saying.

The 10,000-strong United Nations Interim Force Lebanon (UNIFIL) includes some 600 Spanish soldiers and troops from 35 other nations.

question: What caused Israel to shell Lebanon at the border?

[Shalom Ouanounou]Toronto, Canada – The family of a Toronto man who was declared brain dead by doctors in September is heaving a sigh of relief after a judge granted an injunction that will prevent a Canadian hospital from discontinuing life saving treatment tomorrow.

Hundreds of members of Toronto’s Jewish community packed the courtroom in support of Nissim and Rivka Ouanounou’s efforts to keep their 25 year old son Shalom on life support.

Shalom Ouanounou, who was studying business at a local college and working as a door and window installer, has been on a ventilator ever since he suffered a heart attack as a result of a severe asthma attack on September 27th.

He was declared brain dead three days later by doctors at Humber River Hospital as reported by CBC News Toronto (http://bit.ly/2ynxXob) but his father challenged the death certificate, calling it incompatible with his son’s religious beliefs.

A notice of application filed by Nissim Ouanounou said that Canadian laws that rely exclusively on brain activity as a measure of life violate his son’s religious liberties as guaranteed by Canadian law. A letter circulated this week by Ouanounou’s parents that appears on social media said that their son’s cardiopulmonary function is “very much working.”

According to The National Post (http://bit.ly/2ymfNmO), an affadavit filed by Nissim Ouanounou said that his son had specified that he believed in the definition of death as outlined in Jewish law.

“Shalom’s belief is that discontinuing life support in these circumstances is murder and therefore contrary to his fundamental belief in the sanctity of human life, a belief that is the foundation of Judaism,” wrote Nissim Ouanounou. “Anything less than continuing Shalom’s life support is a failure to accommodate his lifelong, firmly held religious beliefs.”

Meir HaLevi Weinstein, who ran a live stream of the court hearing on Facebook, posted that the judge “scolded the lawyer for the hospital” and “that many of the Jews in attendance applauded the judge and wept.”

Today’s ruling gives the Ouanounous time to seek out alternative arrangements for their son and also obligates the hospital to take life saving measures should Ouanounou’s heart stop beating.

BELOW VIDEO: Over 1,000 religious Jews attended the courthouse.(Meir HaLevi Weinstein)

question: Who is Shalom Ouanounou?

answer: He is a 25-year-old door and window installer from Toronto, Canada who is also studying business at a local college.

question: What is Shalom's relationship with Nissim and Rivka Ouanounou?

answer: Nissim and Rivka are Shalom's parents.

question: Define Shalom's belief in the definition of death as outlined in Jewish law.

answer: Discontinuing life support when a person is declared brain dead is considered murder because it goes against the fundamental belief in the sanctity of human life, which is the foundation of Judaism.

question: How did Shalom end up in the hospital?

answer: He suffered a heart attack as a result of a severe asthma attack and has been on a ventilator ever since.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: Shalom Ouanounou, 25, is studying business at a local school in Toronto, Canada while working as a door and window installer. He suffers a heart attack after a severe asthma attack and has been on a ventilator ever since. Shalom was declared 'brain dead' after three days by doctors at the Humber River Hospital, who wanted to discontinue Shaloom's life support even if his cardiopulmonary function was working. Shalom's father, Nissim, challenged the hospital's decision in court, saying it was incompatible with his son's religious (Judaism) beliefs about the sanctity of human life. The Ouanounou's won the case, which gives them time to seek alternative arrangements for Shalom while obligating the hospital to take life-saving measures if Shalom's heart stops beating.
