Publisher’s Message
D
ear ROR Magazine family,
Wherever you are in the world my family and I wish you, and those you care about, great health and peace in your lives. As we all know peace in ourselves and the circumstances that surround our lives is a constant pursuit of balancing many conflicting challenges. The more tools we can bring to bear gives us more strategies to succeed now and in the future. Education is the greatest tool we can have. Education can empower people to become self-actualized and work for peace within themselves and the world at large in the following ways: Education can help people develop their critical thinking skills, which can help them make informed decisions about their lives. By learning to think critically, people can better understand the world around them and make choices that are in their best interests. For example, education can teach people about the importance of voting and how to research candidates and issues before making a decision. Education can help people develop their communication skills to help express themselves effectively and build relationships with others. By learning to communicate effectively, people can better understand and be understood by others. This can lead to stronger relationships and a more peaceful society. For example, education can teach people how to listen actively, how to express their feelings in a constructive way, and how to resolve conflict peacefully. Education can help people develop their empathy to help them understand and care about the perspectives of others. By learning about different cultures and lifestyles, people can develop a greater understanding of the world and the people in it. This can create more compassion among different groups, helping to reduce conflict and violence. For example, education can teach people about the history of different cultures, the different ways that people live around the world, and the challenges that people face in different parts of the world. Education can help people develop their sense of social responsibility, which can motivate them to work for the common good. By learning about the problems facing society, people can be inspired to take action to help solve them. This can lead to a more just and equitable world. For example, education can teach people about the importance of environmental protection, the need for social justice, and the importance of working together to solve problems. Education can help people develop their resilience, which can help them to cope with challenges and setbacks. By learning how to deal with difficult situations, people can become stronger and more resilient. They can overcome challenges and lead happier and more fulfilling lives. For example, education can teach people about different coping mechanisms, how to manage stress, and how to build a support network.
10
Overall, education can help people to become more informed, engaged, and compassionate citizens who are better equipped to create a more peaceful world. As always, I thank you, our contributors, sponsors and advertisers for believing in our mission to improve the world through the passion of education. And most importantly, I thank my son, Hagan, for his brilliant cover work, and RO, my world class editor whose vision continues to raise the quality of the ROR Magazine with each publication. I wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season! Warm Regards,
Thomas Schenck PUBLISHER

carry oneself with peace and dignity. Hamas will go and take hostages knowing that this will open the door to atrocious war crimes against the civilian population of their small country. Israel will declare war instantly and dehumanize children, media workers, and hospitals as collateral damage because it knows it can get away with it. On top of another war that has already exacted its price on the life of 10,000 Ukrainian civilians, here we are contending with that number again, just a few thousand miles away. What should be the role of the rest of the world, as for the second time in two years, the world sways dangerously close to the breakout of a third world war? When governments of the world, notably the US President Joe Biden, announce their instant “jumping in” intentions, actively supporting acts of war and choosing sides, instead of initiating constructive strategies of conflict resolution, do they stop to think if the world’s struggling economy and its sprawling humanity can even afford an all-out war?

It seems the world doesn’t quite know how to
In this day of cross-cultural consciousness and diversity talk, how come there is still such room for white-washed nationalism that it can legitimize overthrowing of international laws and a razing to the ground of a human population at such swift speed that UN professionals have no choice but to call it a genocide? Are we saying that when a white nation occupies, displaces, throws out, or straight away kills off the civilians and their abodes of another, non-white nation, we are to accept it as legitimate because once this was done to the said nation too at an even bigger scale? Are we saying that the non-white, occupied nation is to pay with it’s civilian lives for the crime that a militant group from its ranks chose to do? Are we truly okay with branding children, old men, pregnant women, and the sick under treatment in hospitals and their medical carers active militants and “terrorists”? Have we openly accepted that the label of nationalism and terrorism is dependent on skin color of the nation, or based on where you fall on the dominant versus non-dominant bloc in world politics? Is there really any difference between these two divides? Think on these questions before you go to sleep tonight.

When Akari finished scooping up all the fallen cherry blossoms around her, she raised her head and asked, “Mommy, Daddy, do you have glue?” Photo by Asakawa Kohji. Entered into the public domain via Pxhere
Sakura Petals
Akari sat on the sidewalk, legs crossed, in front of Grand Tree shopping mall, a brown, four-story building shaped like an ice cream scoop, five blocks from her apartment in Kawasaki, Japan. She wore a blue and white striped dress and pink shoes. Her dress, filled with the pile of sakura she had gathered, tented between her legs. The flowers shimmered like undersea coral. Grand Tree usually buzzed with life on Saturdays in April, with both shoppers and families thronging the mall’s fourth-floor activity center. The sidewalk in front of Grand Tree, where sevenyear-old Akari sat, was usually bustling. But today, Akari and her parents were the only people outside. Everyone else in Kawasaki, all of Japan, and the rest of the world chose to wait for the end of the world at home.

The following are certain terms and conditions governing advertising published by Schenck Enterprises (“Publisher”) in the U.S. virtual edition of ROR Magazine (the “Magazine”). These terms and conditions may be revised by Publisher from time to time.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
159
Submission of insertion order for placement of advertising in the Magazine, and/or delivery of advertising materials to Publisher for inclusion in the Magazine, constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditions by both the advertiser (“Advertiser”) and any agency or other representative acting for or on behalf of Advertiser (“Agency”). No terms or conditions in any insertion orders, reservation orders, blanket contracts, instructions or documents that are submitted or maintained by Agency or Advertiser will be binding on Publisher, unless expressly authorized in a writing signed by a senior executive of Publisher. AGENCY COMMISSION AND PAYMENT 1. Publisher has sole discretion over payment terms for advertising. Publisher may change the payment terms from time to time and without limiting generality of the foregoing may require Advertiser to make payment in advance of the on-sale date of the relevant Magazine issue. 2. Agency and Advertiser are jointly and severally liable for the payment of all invoices arising from placement of advertising in the Magazine and for all costs of collection of late payment. 3. If an account is placed with a collection agency or attorney for collection, all commissions and discounts will be rescinded or become null and void and the full advertising rate shall apply. 4. Agency commission (or equivalent): fifteen percent (15%) of gross advertising space charges, payable only to recognized agents. Payments are due in full, upon receipt. All payments must be in United States currency. Any discounts received by Advertiser on ad space charges may not be applied to production charges. 5. Advertiser shall pay all international, federal, state and local taxes on the printing of advertising materials and on the sale of ad space. CANCELLATION AND CHANGES 1. Publisher expressly reserves the right to reject or cancel for any reason at any time any insertion order or advertisement without liability, even if previously acknowledged or accepted. In the event of cancellation for default in the payment of bills, charges for all advertising published as of the cancellation date shall become immediately due and payable. 2. The conditions of advertising in the Magazine are subject to change without notice. Publisher will announce ad rate changes thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of the issue in which the new rates take effect. Orders for subsequent issues will be accepted at the then-prevailing rates. PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY 1. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in printing, publishing, or circulating any copies of the issue of the Magazine in which advertising is placed that is caused by, or arising from, an act of God, accident, fire, pandemics, public health emergencies, failure of transportation, strike, acts of governments, terrorism, or other occurrence beyond Publisher’s control. 2. Publisher does not guarantee positioning of advertisements in the Magazine and is not liable for failure to meet positioning requirements. PUBLISHER WILL TREAT ALL POSITION STIPULATIONS ON INSERTION ORDERS AS REQUESTS. 1. The liability of Publisher for any act, error, omission or other matter for which it may be held legally responsible shall not exceed the cost of the ad space affected by the error. In no event shall Publisher be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost income or profits. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the greatest extent permitted by law and regardless of the theory under which liability is asserted. MISCELLANEOUS 1. Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally represent and warrant that each advertisement submitted by it for publication in the Magazine, and all materials contained therein (collectively, the “Ad Materials”) including, but not limited to, Ad Materials for which Publisher has provided creative services, contains no copy, illustrations, photographs, text or other content or subject matter that violate any law, infringe any right of any party, and/or is libelous, defamatory, obscene, disparaging, racist, hateful or scandalous. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to publish such advertisement, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any loss, liability, damages, fines, penalties, and related costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from publication of such Ad Materials in any applicable editions, formats or derivations of the Magazine, including, but not limited to: (a) claims of invasion of privacy, violation of rights of privacy or publicity, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, libel, misrepresentation, false advertising, or any other claims against Publisher; or (b) the failure of such Ad Materials to be in compliance and conformity with any and all laws, orders, ordinances and statutes of the United States or any of the states or subdivisions thereof; or (c) any products, goods, services, programs, events, offers and promotions that are promoted by or referenced in the Ad Materials (and the fulfillment or non-fulfillment thereof). 2. Publisher may, in Publisher’s sole and exclusive discretion and without penalty to Publisher, reject and refuse to run any Ad Materials that Publisher believes: (a) do or may violate Agency’s and Advertiser’s representations and warranties set forth above; (b) are reasonably likely to be considered objectionable by a reasonable person; and/or (c) are likely to expose Publisher, Agency and/or Advertiser to heightened legal or reputational liability or risk for any reason. 3. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to provide such services, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any Losses arising from such materials, products or services, including, but not limited to, those arising from any such claims. 4. Publisher’s acceptance of an advertisement for publication in the Magazine does not constitute an endorsement of the product or service advertised. No Advertiser or Agency may use the Magazine’s name or logo without Publisher’s prior written permission for each such use. 5. The word “advertisement” will be placed above all advertisements that, in Publisher’s opinion, resemble editorial matter. 6. All terms and conditions of this Rate Card and associated insertion orders, including but not limited to pricing information, shall be the confidential information of Publisher, and neither Agency nor Advertiser may disclose any such information without obtaining Publisher’s prior written consent. 7. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any civil action or proceeding arising out of or related to this agreement shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of California. Advertiser and Agency each hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or proceeding in such courts. ALL PARTIES WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. ADDITIONAL COPY AND CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1. Orders and schedules are accepted for the advertising by brand of product or service only and may not be re-assigned to other products or services or to affiliated companies without the consent of Publisher.
