#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.

Today is World Sight Day, an important opportunity to raise awareness not only about vision health, but about the pervasive attitudinal barriers facing people who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision across the globe. As a CNIB Board Member, I've learned that the biggest challenge facing people who are blind is often not what they can or can’t do – but what society BELIEVES they can or can’t do. So today, let's all take a moment to question our own attitudes about blindness and examine whether or not we are holding onto biases. We can help create a more inclusive, equitable world simply by dropping our misconceptions, letting go of our biases, and learning more about what it means to be blind at cnib.ca. 

I moved to Warsaw, Poland this year to work with the European Network of Remembrance and Solidarity, (ENRS) an organisation which fosters dialogue on 20th century European history.  For Central and Eastern Europe the legacy of two World Wars, the Holocaust and the repression experienced as a result of a Totalitarian regime until the early nineties is spattered with a jigsaw of civilian suffering and an ongoing struggle for the acceptance and reconciliation of old wounds between people and borders. On 2 February 2005, the Ministries of Culture in Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia signed a declaration establishing the European Network of Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS). Based in Warsaw, the Network also includes Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria, Latvia, Albania, and Georgia. Its most important function is the ability to bring historians, academics and a wide range of innovative projects to engage with each other. Surrounded by skyscraper global banks, it is hard to imagine that, at this spot, lies the footprint of the Warsaw ghetto, the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe where over 400, 000 Jews were forced from their homes, towns and communities across Poland by the Nazis in 1940.  Cut off from the rest of Warsaw and surrounded by high walls, people were forced to survive in overcrowded conditions where disease was rampant, and death was imminent. Despite impossible constraints, life continued underground until July 1942, when people were forcibly transported to Treblinka concentration camp where they were killed. Today, half hidden in a leafy side street nearby is the last remaining synagogue of the hundreds that sustained the spiritual and communal life of people in the ghetto during that vicious time. ‘Remember. August 23’ campaign honours the Victims of Totalitarianism The legacy of two World Wars which caused the loss of generations of young men and the forced displacement of people by the ‘winners’ as territories and borders were redrawn. The totalitarian regime which followed the ending of the War led to more violence, an absence of freedom of movement and expression and the retention of those that disagreed with the regime in prisons, labor camps and deportations. The fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991) started a long process of change that is still ongoing. The war between Ukraine and Russia is now in its third year and has led to the reactivation of old wounds and fear across the region. The recent unrest in Georgia owing to the Foreign Agents law, the recent shooting of the Czech Prime Minister, Robert Fico and the palpable fear of Russian invasion is not well enough understood here. The context is different to Ireland but the fear, trauma, violence, loss and the silence that follows violence is deeply embedded in the victims of war everywhere. r https://lnkd.in/e79dVnD7 Barbara Walshe

Given our past and the future most of us wish to build, I am somewhat surprised not to see debate and work around the crucial conflict concept of agonism being used as a tool towards improvement and progress. Maybe now is a good time to revisit my earlier article on this practical approach https://lnkd.in/drvWSvhh
