1 Corinthians 13a
Paul the Apostle

If I speak in the tonguesb of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a
clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if
I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the
poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.

[] Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor
others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be
stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but
[] when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought
like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For
now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I
shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

TEXT III

Love Is All We Have Left
U2

Love Is All We Have Left
Nothing to stop this being the best day ever
Nothing to keep us from where we should be
I wanted the world but you knew better
[5] And that all we have is immortality
Don't close your eyes
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
Love is all we have left
[10] Love and love is all we have left
You argue because you can't accept
Love is all we have left
Now you're at the other end of the telescope
Seven billion stars in her eyes
[15] So many stars
So many ways of seeing
Hey this is no time not to be alive
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
[20] Love is all we have left
Love and love is all we have left
The only thing that can be kept
Love is all we have left

The rise of the body neutrality movement: ‘If you’re fat, you don’t have to hate yourself’

Instead of emphasising the need to love how you look, concepts such as body neutrality, fat acceptance and body respect are allowing women to make peace with their bodies

    When Stephanie Yeboah was 12 years old, she was put on a diet and began restricting herself to
300 calories a day. People told her she would be so pretty, if only she could lose weight. By her early
20s, a preoccupation with counting calories had led to a devastating pattern of disordered eating. She
was bulimic, but, she says, she did not recognise it because her body shape hadn’t changed and society
[5] had made it clear: “Fat people don’t have eating disorders; if they did they wouldn’t be fat.”
    It wasn’t until she discovered body positivity in 2014 that Yeboah found an alternative to self-

loathing and depression. Body positivity first emerged in the US in the 60s to raise awareness of the
barriers faced by fat people (and as a result, the word “fat” was reclaimed as a descriptor rather than
insult).
[10]    In the social media era, it was reignited by women of colour – bloggers such as Gabi
Gregg posted images of fat women in bikinis that were soon picked up by feminist sites, and the
movement spread to the UK. For Yeboah, it changed her life. She became an influential writer and plus-

size blogger.
    Yet, as body positivity grew in popularity, women of colour, women with disabilities and
[15] transwomen, were pushed from the spotlight by a more conventional beauty ideal. White women, with
hour-glass figures, often no bigger than a size 16, were described as radical role models. Meanwhile,
on Instagram, fitness instructors with tiny, sculpted waists hashtagged their workout posts
#bodypositivity.
    Many former followers now feel the movement has been co-opted. Yeboah is one. “It has
[20] become a buzzword, it has alienated the very people who created it. Now, in order to be body positive,
you must be acceptably fat – size 16 and under, or white or very pretty. It’s not a movement that I feel
represents me any more.”
    New ideas began to circulate, including an interest in “body neutrality” – a concept pitched at
those who find loving their bodies a step too far, and instead seek simply to find peace with them. For
[25] writer Rebekah Taussig, the appeal is understandable. “The body positive movement doesn’t put people
with disabilities and other marginalised bodies into the foreground. Body neutrality, I think, has the
power to be really useful in particular to people with disabilities, especially those with chronic pain or
people with diagnoses that are progressive. Those people are pretty frustrated with the demand to love
their bodies when they feel betrayed by them. Being neutral could feel like a relief.”
[30]    Yeboah has now embraced a new approach: “fat acceptance”. “If this movement had been called
fat acceptance in the first place, none of these people would have jumped on it because it’s got the word
‘fat’ in it. Fat can still be associated with ugly,” she says. “It’s very easy to say we shouldn’t concentrate
on our bodies, but for some of us we have no choice, because everyone else is. Growing up, there
weren’t fat black people on film, you never saw them being the object of desire, or playing the lead
[35] role.
    One of the biggest criticisms that Yeboah and others face is health. She says it is a tool to
legitimise fat phobia, rather than a genuine concern about bigger bodies and health. “The only time I’ve
been admitted to hospital because of my weight was because I was beaten up for being fat,” she says,

referring to an assault for which the perpetrators were convicted. “We’re not promoting obesity, or
[40] telling people to be fat, we’re just saying, if you’re fat you don’t have to hate yourself.”
“I’m someone who has played a part in the misconception [of body positivity]. I hold my hands
up, I should have been more political from the start, and made more of a distinction between body
positivity and body confidence, because they are not the same.

TEXT I

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer
Walt Whitman

When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
[5] How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

TEXT II

The Scientist
Coldplay

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

[5] Tell me your secrets and ask me your
questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Chorus (lines 10 to 14):
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part

[10] Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

[15] I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
[20] Oh, and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Chorus (Repeat)

    Few cities in the world rival the antiquity of Athens, where people have lived continuously for thousands of years. Athenians created the first forms of democracy, the plays and philosophy that shaped Western civilisation, and the classical buildings that still dot the Acropolis.

    Amid the ancient ruins, another survivor of the centuries is the Greek concept of philoxenia – a term that directly translates as “love of strangers”, but which locals define more as a warmth that makes foreigners feel immediately welcomed when they come to the capital city. “The people can be very hospitable and friendly,” agreed Julian Williams, who moved from London in 2009.

    Though more than 4.5 million people visit the city every year to delve into its past, Athens has plenty in its present to make it worth staying for the longer term. The always-on atmosphere of Athens attracts Greeks and expats alike. “Athens is a buzzing city. No matter when you go out you will see the cafes and bars filled with people having a good time”, said Chrissy Manika, an Athens native and blogger.

How different cultures understand time

    Different cultures interpret time in different ways, and so the concept of time differs across the world. Some countries focus on the past and traditions, while some primarily concentrate on what the future holds which therefore dictates their interpretation of time. For expats, moving from a future orientated culture, to a past orientated culture may be confusing, so, having a clear understanding of their destination country’s interpretation of time can prove imperative to overcoming cultural shocks. Here at Santa Fe Relocation, we’re taking a closer look at how different cultures understand time, from time orientation to how countries are divided into different chronemics depending on whether they are future-orientated, present-orientated or past-orientated.
