He shows up to teenage-Ephraim's house, tells his sister her betrothed had been executed by his boss & that he's quit his job & gives a forehead kiss. I'm utterly feral

Leontopodium nivale, commonly called edelweiss (German: Alpen-Edelweiß, English pronunciation /ˈeɪdəlvaɪs/ i), is a mountain flower belonging to the daisy or sunflower family Asteraceae.

rugged beauty and purity

giving this flower to a loved one is a promise of dedication

Leontopodium is a latinisation of the Greek leontopódion, "lion's paw"

Its leaves and flowers are covered with dense hairs, which appear to protect the plant

used by the mountain people as a durable flower ("eternal flower") in dry bouquets

badge and symbol of alpinists and mountaineers

defiant, frugal and resilient

In Berthold Auerbach's novel Edelweiss (1861), the difficulty for an alpinist to acquire an edelweiss flower was exaggerated to the point of claiming: "the possession of one is a proof of unusual daring"

A Song For The Soul

Isn't it crazy that there's music for every type of occasion? A song for another year lived, a song for when you miss someone, one for that one special person, and even for that not so special one. But for me, the best songs are those that take you to a happy place. The one's that can genuinely make you smile and feel a little warmth.

But let's be honest, sometimes the best song is the one that just gets your shoulders moving and your head bopping. It doesn't have to have a meaning, or a story behind it, but for some reason it still gives you that happiness. Maybe it's Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" (even though you're in a happy relationship lol) or Britney Spear's 2000's hits, or even Peso Pluma's "belico" hits (since he's taken over the internet lately.) Whatever that song might be, enjoy it, dance to it, sing it out loud....You never know, it might just heal your soul one note at a time :)

Berthold Auerbach Continues to be Wrong but Amusing

When one surveys the sublime friendships in the history of the German spirit, next to Luther and Melanchthon, Goethe and Schiller, the friendship of Lessing and Mendelssohn must also be named. It would be incorrect to portray them as congenial natures, but in active love of humanity, in love of pure truth they were of equal birth; the tempestuous man and the almost timidly considerate one cultivated true friendship through a whole generation; on the foundation of studying truth they held true to and supported on another.

Berthold Auerbach, "The Genesis of Nathan the Wise."

The more I read from Auerbach the more I conclude that his takes are not necessarily harmful but just...not accurate? He was also the one (according to Knobloch) to perpetuate the story of Mendelssohn & Fromet's engagement which is also probably not what happened.

Also absolutely wild to compare the collaborations of a) Luther & Melanchton, b) Goethe & Schiller & c) Lessing & Mendelssohn. Mister those are three v. different dynamics & exactly one of them should be called a friendship.

The Positive Outcomes of Music Therapy For Individuals With Autism

Written By: Alan Berkeley

Prominent 19th-century writer Berthold Auerbach once wrote that “music washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life.” Music is often cited as one of the few “universal” languages that bring joy to everyone regardless of their background, and years upon years of research have shown that this is no coincidence. Every aspect of music, from rhythm to melody to harmony to dynamics, influences our perception and behavior. As such, the use of music as a therapeutic tool is one that warrants analysis, particularly to assist those on the autism spectrum. 

A Brief History of Music Therapy

The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) was founded in 1950 (it was known then as the National Association of Music Therapy or NAMT) (AMTA, 2022). Prior to its founding, programs that studied music therapy were limited to a select few college campuses. However, numerous music organizations and hospitals had a growing interest in using music to treat veterans of the second world war. In subsequent decades, professional music therapists were able to find increased stability in their work through more solid backing from various music organizations. Then, in 1971, the music therapy program at NYU became the first music therapy degree program to be accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) (AMTA, 2022). The ’80s and ’90s saw a proliferation of music therapy knowledge and growth, whether it be through the publication of landmark music therapy publications like the NAMTs Music Therapy Perspectives, or through the unification of some of the most prominent players among music therapy groups in the NAMT and the American Association of Music Therapy (AAMT) (AMTA, 2022). Since then, the study of music therapy has only continued to grow. An analysis of music therapy trends by Li, Weng, and Wang (2021) found over 100 official music therapy publications worldwide, five times more than the number at the turn of the millennium. Let’s look at what some of these publications have revealed to us regarding music therapy and its impact on those with autism. 

Music Therapy and Autism

Research across the world has indicated positive outcomes for individuals with autism who receive music therapy. Both social and communication skills have been shown to improve through a plethora of methods including vocalization and singing, improvisation, instrumental instruction, or simply listening to music. For example, a review of 10 music-therapy-related studies by Geretsegger et al. (2014) found these methods to be significantly superior to standard care looking to provide similar outcomes, whether it be engaging in social interaction in a variety of contexts, social-emotional reciprocity, or communication either verbal or non-verbal in nature. Music therapy appears to aid non-verbal communication greatly, as even studies that may not have found significant results overall, like the aforementioned Geretsegger et al. (2014) review, still found positive effects in this area (see Gattino et al. (2011)), likely due to music’s power to flexibly communicate emotions, needs, and values (Gfeller, 2002). The way that music can transcend thought and evoke meaning through emotion is one of the reasons it may be such an effective therapeutic tool, particularly for individuals on the autism spectrum.  The benefits of music therapy are supported in children with autism as well, with a study conducted by Kim, Wigram, and Gold (2009) finding that improvisational music therapy in particular promoted positive engagement and emotional synchronicity between children and their therapists, indicating that not only could music therapy be more effective than standard therapy, but it may also be more enjoyable for those receiving it. Kaplan and Steele (2005) found that the positive impacts of music therapy may generalize to environments outside of the clinic, as well. 100% of the caregivers they surveyed as a part of their study reported that the skills learned through musical interventions in areas such as language skills, behavioral skills, and even motor skills appeared to have transferred outside of therapy.

Still, while many of these studies point to music therapy as a highly potent source of positive outcomes for neurodivergent individuals, it is important to note that further research is still needed to cement this claim. Many of the studies mentioned had small sample sizes, meaning more research must be conducted in order to examine where and how music therapy interventions can best be utilized by those with autism. If the outcomes of this research continue to be positive across a wide array of skills, therapists can be confident that they can use music as the vessel for positive change that it is often intended to be.

“To acquire money requires valor, to keep money requires prudence, and to spend money well is an art.” —Berthold Auerbach

Today, I want to talk about #personalfinance, one of the most critical topic which #entrepreneurs often overlook. Managing your personal finances is something that needs to be done consistently and diligently over the years. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, you need to make the money work for you in a way that works for you.

While entrepreneurs should not be afraid to aim big, they must also know that going all-in financially is very risky! India has many inspiring stories where through sheer determination young people have turned their lives around. So, imagine the possibilities if you have a financial cushion for yourself and the only thing holding you back is your own imagination.

I come from a middle-class background where education was our primary God, a secure job our mandated path, and #entrepreneurship unheard of. I had to forge my own destiny and I have made the most of each situation and hurdle that I have faced. Through my experience, I can share that wise and well thought financial decisions were crucial for personal and professional success.

Lastly, it is evident that the cost of living is going up – what seems a lot today may not be adequate in a few decades. So, do give your future financial requirements a wise thought and plan your investment strategy accordingly. Today the market is full of various instruments depending on your need and risk appetite.

What according to you is a good investment-expenditure strategy ? Please share in the comments.
