The Humanitarian Code of Conduct

Sorte Henry

Sinopsis

It is possible that a person with Down syndrome can lead a normal life, with full educational, social and work integration. This is the story of Milagros and her resilience in the face of difficulties. Access to decent and properly paid employment is exceptional for people with Down Syndrome, but she achieved it. Many entities are fighting so that people with Down syndrome are not cared for in segregated centers or special employment centers, but rather so that they are on the street, in schools and companies together with any other person. This does not mean ignoring the disability, but adapting the means to the individual needs of each person.

The Life & Words Of...

Sripad Jagannatha Das

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, also known as Srila Prabhupāda, was a prominent spiritual leader and revivalist of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition in early 20th-century India. He was born Bimala Prasad Datt on 6 February 1874 in the town of Jagannath Puri, in the present-day state of Odisha, India. As a child, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati showed great intellectual potential, and he received a thorough education in Sanskrit, philosophy, and theology from his father, a renowned scholar, and Vaishnava monk. After completing his studies, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati became a professor of Sanskrit and philosophy at Calcutta University.

In 1918, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati founded the Gaudiya Math, a religious institution aimed at reviving and promoting the teachings of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition. He also initiated a series of reforms within the tradition, emphasizing the importance of scriptural study, the necessity of devotional service to Krishna, and the rejection of sectarianism and caste-based discrimination. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was a prolific writer and scholar who authored numerous books and articles on Vaisnava philosophy and theology. He also trained many disciples, including A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who later founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and became a major figure in the spread of the Hare Krishna movement in the West. Sarasvati passed away on 1 January 1937, but his legacy continues to inspire and guide followers of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition. He is remembered for his tireless efforts to revive and promote the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of the Gaudīya Vaisnava tradition, and for his commitment to spreading the message of devotional service and love of God.

Red Paint - The Ancestral...

Sasha LaPointe

Sasha LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. 
 
 
  
With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. 
 
 
  
Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. 
 
 
  
Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.

Nok Civilization - The...

Rolf Hedger

The Nok civilization is one of the most fascinating and mysterious ancient cultures of West Africa. It flourished between approximately 1500 BCE and 500 CE, making it one of the earliest known complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa. The Nok people are best known for their remarkable terracotta sculptures, which provide valuable insights into their artistry, beliefs, and way of life. Despite their historical significance, much about the Nok civilization remains unknown, leaving archaeologists and historians to piece together their story from scattered artifacts and excavation sites.
The first discovery of Nok artifacts occurred in 1928, when British archaeologist Bernard Fagg came across a series of terracotta figurines in central Nigeria. These artifacts, found near the village of Nok, revealed an advanced artistic style that was distinct from any previously known African culture. The sculptures depicted human figures with intricate hairstyles, elaborate jewelry, and expressive facial features, suggesting a highly developed artistic tradition. This discovery marked the beginning of a deeper exploration into the Nok civilization, leading to further excavations that uncovered tools, pottery, and evidence of early ironworking.
One of the most significant aspects of Nok’s discovery was its role in the history of metallurgy in Africa. Archaeological findings suggest that the Nok people were among the earliest in West Africa to practice iron smelting, a technological advancement that contributed to agricultural development and societal growth. The presence of iron tools indicates that they engaged in farming, hunting, and trade, supporting the idea that Nok society was well-organized and economically active.
