Walker To Stanton And More, A Self-Guided Tour Of Woodlawn Women Who Made A Difference
In August, the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was celebrated from Harlem to Hollywood.
Woodlawn, a 400-acre site in the Bronx, has a rich history of suffragettes, and the struggle for this right began many years earlier when Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who is interred at Woodlawn, organized the first Women’s Rights Convention in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York.
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Suffrage and Women’s Equality, Woodlawn has created a self-guided tour of Woodlawn Women Who Made a Difference. Visitors may pick up maps marking the gravesites of 27 remarkable Woodlawn women at the Entrance Gates at 3800 Jerome Avenue or 4199 Webster Avenue or at the Woodlawn Conservancy building, Jerome Avenue entrance, for a historic and inspiring visit to the final resting places of these extraordinary women.
The sites of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriot Stanton Blatch, Alva Belmont, Carrie Chapman Catt, Mary Garret Hay, and Madam C.J. Walker are marked with biographical signage. Stickers celebrating suffrage will also be available to place on designated signage at these gravesites to honor these women who helped to pave the way.
“We are incredibly proud to have the descendants of two of these remarkable women who are buried at Woodlawn currently supporting our mission,” said Mitch Rose, Woodlawn President & CEO. “We wish to express our gratitude to Coline Jenkins-Sahlin, Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s great-great-granddaughter, and A’Lelia Bundles, who is the great-great-granddaughter of Madam C. J. Walker, America’s first female self-made millionaire and African-American trailblazing entrepreneur, for their historical perspective, dedication and commitment to Woodlawn.”
Profiles: Woodlawn Women Who Made a Difference:
Madam C.J. Walker, born in Louisiana, she was the child of former slaves who developed hair care and beauty products for African American women. She amassed a sizable fortune by training customers to use her products, eventually moving to New York, where she became known as America’s first female self-made millionaire.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a group of local Quaker women organized the meeting, “a convention to discuss the social, civic, and religious condition and rights of women.” The event was held on July 19 and 20, 1848 and, the first day, 300 women attended. The convention was only open to men on the second day. Lucretia Mott and Frederick Douglas were featured speakers. The convention featured a discussion on 11 resolutions on women’s rights and, if not for the conviction of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Frederick Douglas, suffrage would not have been included.
Harriot Stanton Blatch, Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s daughter, was born in Seneca Falls, New York and lived in England where she became active in the women’s rights movement. When she returned to America, she founded the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women, in an effort to bring working women into the suffragist movement.
Alva Belmont, interred in Woodlawn’s Belmont Mausoleum, became active in Women’s Suffrage after the death of her second husband, Oliver Perry Belmont, in 1908, the first husband being, William K. Vanderbilt. Alva Belmont hosted the English suffragette Christabel Pankhurst to the US in 1914 for speaking engagements, and she was a financial supporter of Alice Paul and the National Woman’s Party, becoming the president of that organization in 1921. Alva Belmont was also credited with the saying, “Pray to God. She will help you.” Although Alva spent her later years in France, she was buried at Woodlawn.
Carrie Chapman Catt was instrumental in securing the right to vote for women. Her interest in suffrage began in the 1880s when she joined the Iowa Woman Suffrage Association and then the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She was a gifted speaker and gave speeches nationwide and helped organize local suffrage chapters. In 1900, she was elected NAWSA president filling the seat vacated by Susan B. Anthony. Suffrage was passed during her second tenure as NAWSA president (1915-1920). She founded the League of Women Voters in 1920 to bring women into the political mainstream.
Mary Garrett Hay was chief assistant to Carrie Chapman Catt. Hay headed the NAWSA’s suffrage lobbying within the Republican Party and was the first woman to chair the Republican convention platform committee. She was chair of the New York City League of Women Voters. In addition, Hay was the much-needed financial backing of Alva Vanderbilt Belmont.
The Woodlawn Conservancy provides educational programs for students and the public, engaging a strong volunteer corps and working to present the extraordinary collection of monuments and plantings found on the 400-acre site of The Woodlawn Cemetery. The Woodlawn Cemetery is the final resting place of many individuals who have made lasting contributions to American history. It is the work of the Conservancy that preserves the legacies of these notables including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Madam C.J. Walker, Alva Belmont and Carrie Chapman Catt. This mission is accomplished through the support of individuals and organizations who desire to preserve Woodlawn’s beauty and history for the enjoyment of future generations.
The Woodlawn Conservancy is enhancing its community and investing in the future by preserving the past. Founded in 1863 in the Bronx, The Woodlawn Cemetery, still an active cemetery with new ongoing development, is one of the largest cemeteries in New York City and is designated a National Historic Landmark. Woodlawn…More Than A Cemetery.

St. katherine Protected Area of Egypt
Location: Mid-Southern Sinai
Area: 5,750 km2
Type: National Park
Year of establishment: 1996
The basis of the National Park's rationale is the conservation of biological diversity or biodiversity. This phenomenon has increased over geological time, the world's biodiversity is richer now than at any time in its evolutionary history. At the same time, global biological diversity is being lost at a rate many times faster than ever before, largely as a result of human activities.
The Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA).
Geographical aspects:
St. Catherine National Park occupies much of the central part of South Sinai, a mountainous
region of Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rock, which includes Egypt's highest peaks (St. Catherine mountain, Moussa mountain, Serbal mountain, Umm Shomer mountain and Tarbush mountain). St. Catherine mountain is the highest peak in Egypt 2,624 m above sea-level. The Sinai massif contains some of the world's oldest rocks. Around 80% of the rocks are 600 million years old.
The St. Catherine National Park is an area of great biological interest and includes the highest mountains in Egypt. This high
altitude ecosystem supports a surprising diversity of wild
species; some found nowhere else in the world. The mountains are relic outposts for the Sinai rose finch from Asia, the ibex and wolf from Europe, and the striped hyena and Tristram's grackle which came from Africa. Several species are unique to the National Park including two species of snakes and about twenty plant species, such as a beautiful native primrose.
Flora:
Around 1000 plant species, representing almost 40% of Egypt's total flora are found in this region. These include many endemic species. Half of the 33 known Sinai endemics are found in St. Catherine area. Many of these are rare and endangered. Small orchards are scattered in wadis particularly at higher elevations.
The White-crowned Black wheatear is very characteristic of the area. There are 46 reptile species, where 15 of which are found nowhere else in Egypt. e.g. Endemic Sinai Banded Snake and the Innes Cobra which is considered to be very vulnerable to extinction. Other fauna include Geckos, Agamids, Skinks, Rodents, Hedgehogs, Hares, Red fox, Wild cat, Sinai Leopard, Rock hyrax, the Nubian ibex, Dorcas gazelle. The Panther pardus jarvisi is endangered and the endemic
sub-species as well. A rich diversity of insects also exists.
Tourist Attractions:
The Saint Katherine National Park abuts the coastal reserves of Ras Mohammed National Park, the Nabq and Ras Abu Galum Managed Resource Areas that lie along the Gulf of Aqaba. The coastal resorts, a mainstay of the Egyptian economy, are among the fastest growing tourism developments in the world. Their relative proximity to the Saint Katherine monastery and Mount Sinai has resulted in a growing number of visitors to the National Park. The protection of the arearoutes, unique natural and cultural values was a primary goal in the declaration of the St. Catherine National Park. But, a wider national objective was to underpin and expand the tourist industry in Sinai. The aim was to enhance the quality of tourism by promoting environmental and cultural tourism in premium wilderness areas. In so doing it was concluded that conservation would become an attractive option to rural people by linking sustainable tourism with local community development. In pursuit of these goals the management unit of the St. Catherine National Park actively promotes environmental and cultural tourism in these areas.
A list of all these types of activities:
Backcountry/wilderness - trekking in the highest mountains of Egypt
Historical tourism - e.g. following heritage trails, visiting archaeological sites
Religious tourism - treks based on Biblical sites and routes
Bedouin/Cultural tourism - learning the secrets of the desert
Birdwatching/Wildlife tourism - watching birds and recording their whereabouts
Health tourism - based on clean, quiet environment, spiritual heritage and medicinal plant/herbal treatment.
Fully operational now are several low impact stays based on trekking, camping or simply finding a quiet place beneath a palm tree.

NexGen Networks Expands Its Network Reach with a New PoP at CoreSite’s New York Campus
March 8, 2017 at 7:00 AM EST
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 8, 2017-- CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection solutions across the U.S., today announced that NexGen Networks, a leading global provider of ultrahigh-speed fiber-optic services with a distinctive customer service approach, has deployed a new network Point of Presence (PoP) at CoreSite’s New York campus.

CoreSite’s New York campus includes two data center facilities – NY1, comprised of over 48,000 square feet of data center space in the heart of Manhattan, and NY2, with over 236,000 square feet of data center space situated above the 500-year floodplain in Secaucus, NJ. CoreSite’s New York campus hosts over 40 network service providers and provides direct access to some of the world’s leading cloud service providers, all with robust, low-latency network access to Manhattan, supporting acceleration of customers’ IT performance while reducing customer costs.
“We are pleased to have NexGen Networks expand its presence with CoreSite and join our thriving carrier community in our New York campus,” said Steve Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at CoreSite. “We expect NexGen’s distinctive global footprint and diverse set of connectivity solutions to provide great value to our customers.”

Málaga is a large city in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia and capital of the Malaga Province. The largest city on the Costa del Sol, Malaga has a typical Mediterranean climate and is also known as the birthplace of famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The city offers beaches, hiking, architectural sites, art museums, excellent shopping and cuisine. While more laid back than Madrid or Barcelona, Malaga is still the center and transport hub for the hugely popular Costa del Sol region, which is flooded with tourists in the summer, and the city has certainly cashed in on the sun and sand, with lots of new construction as well as hotels and facilities geared to tourists. However, Malaga also offers some genuinely interesting historical and cultural attractions in its old city and its setting on the coast is still beautiful.
Cartagena is Colombia's most famous tourist destination on the Caribbean coast. The city is renowned for its colonial and colourful architecture. With a tropical climate, the city is also a popular beach destination. The city was founded on June 1, 1533, and named after Cartagena, Spain, itself after the original Carthage in Tunisia. However, settlement in this region around Cartagena Bay by various indigenous people dates back to 4000 BC. During the colonial period Cartagena served a key role in administration and expansion of the Spanish empire. It was a center of political and economic activity due to the presence of royalty and wealthy viceroys. In 1984 Cartagena's colonial walled city and fortress were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Monte Carlo (literally "Mount Charles") is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the western end of the quarter is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).

DJ Shadow & G Jones Unveil Secret Nite School Klik
ABOUT DJ SHADOW
DJ Shadow (born Josh Davis) is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo’ Wax label. Inspired by hip-hop’s early years, he then grew to absorb the heyday of crews like Eric B. & Rakim, Ultramagnetic MCs, and Public Enemy; groups which prominently featured DJs in their ranks.
Josh “Shadow” Davis had already been experimenting with making beats and breaks on a four-track recorder while he was in high school in the Nor-Cal college town of Davis, but it was during university that he co-founded his own Solesides label as an outlet for his original tracks. Hooking up with Davis’ few b-boys (including eventual Solesides artists Blackalicious and Lyrics Born) through the college radio station, Shadow began releasing the Hip-Hop Reconstruction mix tapes in 1991, eventually catching the attention of The Source magazine and Dave Funkenklein. Shadow was featured in the magazine’s “Unsigned Hype” column in 1991, and Klein signed him to a production deal with Hollywood BASIC records. Concurrently, Shadow provided beats and scratches for Bay Area rapper Paris and was featured on his second album. In 1993, Shadow pressed his 17-minute beat-head symphony “Entropy.” His tracks spread widely through the DJ-strong hip-hop underground, eventually reaching James Lavelle of Mo’ Wax.
Shadow’s first full-length, “Endtroducing…”, was released on the label in late 1996 to immense critical acclaim in Britain and America. “Preemptive Strike,” a compilation of early singles, followed in early 1998. Later that year, Shadow produced tracks for the debut album by U.N.K.L.E., a long-time Mo’ Wax production team that gained superstar guests including Thom Yorke (of Radiohead), Richard Ashcroft (of the Verve), Mike D (of the Beastie Boys), and others.
His next project came in 1999, with the transformation of Solesides into a new label, Quannum Projects. Nearly six years after his debut production album, the proper follow-up, “The Private Press,” was released in June 2002. The following year Shadow released a mix album, “Diminishing Returns,” and in 2004 he released a live album and DVD, “Live! In Tune and on Time.” In 2006 he released another long awaited full-length album “The Outsider,” which featured rising Bay Area Hyphy rappers including Keak Da Sneak and E-40. “The Outsider” also featured a single with Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest), which led to Shadow’s first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Between 2007 and 2009 Shadow released three volumes of “The 4-Track Era Collection,” a series of his earliest recordings. The 4-Track Era project was exclusively available through his web store, ShopDjShadow.com. In the midst of all of these solo projects, DJ Shadow collaborated with fellow hip-hop DJ Cut Chemist. Together they created a series of mixes that fused soul, funk, and rock, in the framework of a cohesive concept involving using only 45 rpm records (7 inches). These mixes include Brainfreeze, Product Placement, and The Hard Sell, which would be debuted at the Hollywood Bowl.
Shadow’s website relaunched in August 2009, enabling him to sell digital downloads direct to his fans through his own autonomous storefront. 2009 also saw the announcement of Shadow’s involvement with DJ Hero, an Activision video game which features Shadow as a playable character within the game. Shadow also contributed several mixes to the game.
2010 and 2011 saw a tour throughout Europe and North America entitled “Live From The Shadowsphere.” Hailed for its visual innovations, the tour was cited by Beatport as one of the top 10 DJ shows of all time, and was capped off by two memorable performances at the Coachella Festival.
In 2011, DJ Shadow released “The Less You Know, The Better,” purportedly his last full-length album to prominently feature samples. 2012 included “Total Breakdown, Hidden Transmissions From The MPC Era (1992-1996),” an archival project; and “Reconstructed: The Best of DJ Shadow,” a greatest hits album.
2012 saw a shift in Shadow’s live persona…at the request of trendsetting LA club night Low End Theory, he returned to playing traditional, contemporary DJ sets, often eschewing his own music for that of peers.
The hard-hitting sets Shadow played coexisted with the rise of trap, juke, and the fledgling beat scene, catching the ear of large-scale EDM icons such as Diplo and Bassnectar, with whom Shadow performed. An incident at a Miami superclub, in which Shadow refused to temper his set to suit management, was captured on video and went viral, prompting a debate about the autonomy of DJs and the music they play. This only seemed to heighten demand for Shadow as 2013 reportedly saw him play over 100 shows.
Also in 2013, Shadow lent a hand to video game franchise Grand Theft Auto V, compiling and arranging elements of the soundtrack. Notable was his return to production, crafting a remix for Machinedrum, (whom Shadow performed with at Fabric in London and Amsterdam) and ‘70s Dutch progressive band Supersister, who Shadow had previously sampled. In 2014, Shadow toured Australia and performed at SXSW for Vice.
According to his Twitter account, Shadow plans to spend time in the studio and continue to perform his contemporary DJ sets. He has indicated that a new, “very different” type of tour is planned for the Fall of 2014.

ELC, SPLC Report Analyzes School Funding Inequities in the Deep South
Southern States Must Prioritize Fair Public School Spending
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Southern states’ failure to prioritize public education has an outsized impact on students of color and students living in or near poverty, a new study released today by Education Law Center (ELC) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) found.
The report, titled Inequity in School Funding, examines public school funding in eight Southern states based on criteria established by ELC’s national Making the Grade report, an annual state-by-state analysis of public school funding in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report ranks and grades each state based on three key measures: funding level, funding distribution and funding effort.
The Southern states highlighted in the report are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. These states have “woefully insufficient” school funding levels, and most of them fail to equitably distribute additional funds to high-poverty school districts, the report found.
The report defines fair funding as “the funding needed in each state to provide qualified teachers, support staff, programs, services and other resources essential for all students to have a meaningful opportunity to achieve the state’s academic standards and graduate high school prepared for citizenship, postsecondary education and the workforce.”
The impact of unfair school funding in the South is deeply rooted in the region’s history of racial segregation, which still influences education politics and policymaking and can be seen in the proliferation of private school vouchers and resistance to culturally responsive and inclusive teaching. This segregationist history means that Black and Latinx students and those living in or near poverty, groups that are overrepresented in public schools throughout the South, are more likely to bear the consequences of poorly resourced schools.
“We are currently in a place where partisan politics, not data or evidenced-based practices, are driving school policy,” said Bacardi Jackson, Interim Deputy Legal Director for the SPLC Children’s Rights practice group. “These efforts are steeped in white supremacy and seek to undermine public schools.”
When compared to other states, the report found:
● All eight states score in the bottom third for school funding. Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and Mississippi score in the bottom 10 -- spending more than $3,000 (and for Florida and Mississippi, more than $4,000) less per child each year than the national average.
● Alabama, Florida, and Texas have regressive funding practices, meaning high-poverty school districts receive less funding than low-poverty school districts. On average, high-poverty districts in Florida and Alabama receive about $1,500 less than low-poverty districts.
● Georgia barely meets the report’s conservative definition of progressive funding, with high-poverty districts receiving, on average, only 8% higher per-pupil funding than low-poverty districts.
● Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have “flat” funding distributions that disadvantage students in high-poverty districts because they do not provide additional resources to help close persistent economic and racial achievement gaps.
● All eight states reduced their effort to fund public schools in the last decade, resulting in a combined loss of $189 billion in state and local revenue. Florida, Georgia and Alabama all lost out on more than $2,000 per pupil by allowing school revenue to lag behind economic growth.
“Southern states have a long history of neglecting public education, depriving students – especially students of color and those from low-income families – of the opportunities that would help them succeed in school and life,” said Danielle Farrie, Education Law Center Research Director and report author. “It is past time for lawmakers in these states to move beyond political distractions and prioritize investments in public education.”

This Week in Texas Energy: With Shale Gas Exports, U.S. Moves Forward on Energy Independence
Plus: Irving-based Fluor to turn the lights back on in Puerto Rico and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos christens a wind farm.

Liquified Natural Gas Remakes Global Energy Markets
“A swell of gas in liquefied form shipped from Texas and Louisiana is descending on global markets, producing a broader glut and lower energy prices,” reports the New York Times. The shale gas boom in Texas and nationwide has exceeded demand stateside and turned the U.S. from an importer to an exporter, which moves the country closer to energy independence. Though the U.S. only began exporting large quantities of liquified natural gas (LNG) in 2016, the country’s export capacity is growing. This raises the United States’ profile among other exporters, including Russia and Qatar, and gives the federal government more foreign policy leverage. Jason Bordoff, the director of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and former energy adviser to President Obama states:
“The transition of the U.S. to one of the world’s largest gas exporters has very significant economic, environmental and geopolitical implications.”
The impact of the natural gas boom can already be seen in Mexico. More than a quarter of that country’s electricity is powered by American gas, according to the Times. A significant portion of that flows in via pipelines from Texas gas fields, though the country does also import LNG. Four more cross-border pipelines are scheduled to come online in the next two years. The Hill notes that Mexico, with its onshore rig count down to one and its domestic production in decline, will grow increasingly dependent on U.S. gas.
Fluor Receives a $240 Million Contract to Bring Power Back to Puerto Rico
With a newly assigned $240 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Irving-based engineering and construction company Fluor will be working to restore the power grid in Puerto Rico. More than a month after Hurricane Maria, struck the island, approximately 86 percent of the territory is still without power, says the Dallas Morning News. The Category 4 storm caused massive devastation across the entire island, knocking out power for all utility customers initially.
“An outdated, aboveground power grid coupled with a comparative shortage of utility workers have hobbled efforts to restore power,” reports NPR. In addition, there are financial complexities: the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority—as well as Puerto Rico as a whole—recently filed for bankruptcy. The island is facing a $5 billion bill to repair its power grid.
In its news release, FEMA stated only that Fluor will “augment current restoration activities.” The company’s own press release indicated that the six-month contract includes equipment evaluation and repair, as well as work towards the re-energization and recommissioning of substations and switching stations. Fluor has a fifty-year presence in Puerto Rico and designed and built the island’s first oil refinery in 1955.
Jeff Bezos Opens Amazon Wind Farm Texas
This week Jeff Bezos christened Amazon’s new 253-megawatt renewable-energy project in Snyder—Amazon Wind Farm Texas—smashing a champagne bottle against the top of a 300-foot-tall wind turbine. He announced the wind farm’s opening in this eye-popping tweet, which captures the christening in action-movie-style footage:

— Jeff Bezos (@JeffBezos) October 19, 2017
The wind farm in Scurry County, Amazon’s eighteenth renewable-energy project, includes more than one hundred turbines, with rotors twice the size of a Boeing 787’s wingspan. Built and operated by Lincoln Clean Energy, the site will generate 1 million megawatt hours of energy a year for the power grid. This is enough to bring electricity to close to 90,000 homes, says the company. Kara Hurst, the organization’s director of sustainability, states the project brings Amazon one step closer to its ultimate goal of powering their global infrastructure using renewable energy. According to ABC, with the addition of the Snyder wind farm, the company sources about 50 percent of its power from renewables.
As a thank you to locals for their cooperation, Amazon will donate $50,000 to the Snyder Education Foundation, to provide STEM learning opportunities.

Peabody Energy honours coal power plants
World Coal, Monday, 02 January 2017 12:55
Peabody Energy has recognised US coal power plants for top environmental performance at the 2016 Peabody Energy Clean Coal Awards. Awards were determined based on data available from the Environmental Protection Agency for the lowest sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions rates in addition to the best efficiency (as measured by heat rate), which results in a lower carbon footprint. Starting this year, the company also presented awards to industry pioneers advancing modern, large-scale carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) projects. Honouree selection for the new awards followed a comprehensive review process by an independent panel of CCUS subject matter experts.
"Peabody has advocated clean coal technologies to reduce carbon and other emissions for nearly two decades, and we are pleased to shine a bright light on the quality work being done in the US to advance high-efficiency, low-emissions generation and low-carbon systems," said Peabody Energy President and Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Kellow. "Our 2016 winners showcase the tremendous environmental success achieved today and the progress toward large-scale carbon capture technologies we believe are essential for society's carbon goals."
Awards were presented at Power-Gen International and honourees included:
Dynegy's Coffeen Plant: For the best SO2 emissions rate among US coal plants. The Coffeen plant has a SO2 emissions profile that is 99% better than the US coal fleet average. The 915 MW power plant operates in Central Illinois. The Coffeen Plant uses low-sulfur Powder River Basin coal and added a wet scrubber in 2009.
Southwestern Electric Power Co.'s (SWEPCO) John W. Turk Jr. Plant: For the best NOx emissions rate among US coal plants. The Turk plant has a NOx emissions profile that is 79% better than the US coal fleet average. The 600 MW ultra-supercritical power plant was built in Fulton, Ark., by SWEPCO, a unit of American Electric Power, and began commercial operation in 2012.
Longview Power LLC's Longview Power Plant: For the lowest heat rate among US coal plants. The Longview plant operates at a level of efficiency 15% better than the US coal fleet average. Longview's best-in-class heat rate of 9003 Btu per kilowatt hour in 2015 continues to improve, and the company's current efficiency performance is on track to be well below 8900 Btu per kilowatt hour.
Mississippi Power's Kemper County Energy Facility: As Carbon Capture, Use and Storage Pioneer. The 582 MW Kemper facility located in Kemper County, Miss., employs Transport Integrated Gasification technology that is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 65%. Judges applauded the facility's innovation in the areas of ash removal and CO2 separation, noting: "the technology holds great promise for future new electric power plants."
NRG Energy and JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration's Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project: As Carbon Capture, Use and Storage Pioneer. The Petra Nova project demonstrates commercial-scale deployment of post-combustion carbon capture and is designed to capture approximately 90% of CO2 emissions from a 240 MW equivalent slipstream of flue gas from the W.A. Parish plant in Thompsons, Texas, southwest of Houston. Judges commended the project's innovative capture technology, observing that it "represents the first large-scale retrofit of an existing coal-fired power plant."
Today's high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) coal-fueled generation includes multiple technologies capable of reducing the vast majority of SO2, NOx, particulate matter, mercury and other emissions. Advanced HELE technologies result in a smaller environmental footprint, achieving as much as a 25% reduction in a plant's CO2 emissions rate. Longer-term investments in next-generation carbon capture technologies are widely recognised as essential to meet long-term global climate goals.
The Peabody Energy Clean Coal Awards programme was established in 2014 to recognise leadership and improve awareness about the benefits of clean coal technologies. Peabody believes coal will continue to be an important part of the world's energy mix and responsible use including further deployment of advanced coal technologies can help achieve energy security, economic growth and environmental solutions.

Madagascar, Mozambique set for “dangerous” Cyclone Freddy
by: WANJOHI KABUKURU, Associated Press
MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — A cyclone which is intensifying as it approaches the southeastern African coast has been labeled as “dangerous” by the United Nation’s weather agency on Monday as nations brace for landfall.
Cyclone Freddy is projected to reach Madagascar on Tuesday evening and hurtle toward Mozambique by the end of the week. The tropical cyclone is equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane and is expected to dump heavy rain and bring turbulent winds.
A “significant deterioration in weather conditions” is underway, Meteo France’s multi-hazard early warning system predicted Monday. The weather agency said the cyclone is passing around 100 kilometers (60 miles) away from the islands of Mauritius and later Reunion on Monday. Mauritius has already encountered flooding and gale force winds.
The regional weather observation center on the island of Reunion said that Freddy is currently rushing across the ocean with average wind speeds of 205 kilometers (127 miles) per hour.
It’s feared that up to 2.2 million people, mostly in Madagascar, will be impacted by storm surges and flooding, according to the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System. The Mahanoro, Mananjary and Nosy Varita communes in western Madagascar will be first-hit on Tuesday.
Mozambique will likely be struck on Friday, according to the country’s national meteorology institute. The nation has already experienced widespread flooding in recent weeks, raising fears from the U.N. humanitarian agency that the “severe humanitarian situation in the region” may escalate.
Some five other coastal nations — Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and South Africa — are also vulnerable as Freddy looks set to tear across the Mozambican channel after Wednesday, according to the region’s climate service center.
Last year, scientists were able to show that climate change worsened cyclones in southeast Africa, already a hotspot for tropical storms and cyclones.
In the last 12 months the region has suffered a significant battering from a number of cyclones and suffered major loss of life, property, displacement of large populations and costly damages to major infrastructure.
“It is hoped that accurate warnings and forecasts will help limit the damage from Tropical Cyclone Freddy,” said U.N. weather agency spokesperson Clare Nullis.
First spotted and named by a monitoring center in Melbourne, Australia, on Feb. 6, Cyclone Freddy has since crossed the entire southern Indian Ocean.

TIME and Felix & Paul Studios to Produce Historic VR Series on the International Space Station
January 26, 2019 HollywoodGlee Leave a comment
The Multiplatform Project Will Culminate in the First-ever Capture of a Spacewalk in 3-D, 360° Cinematic VR
(PARK CITY, UT — January 26, 2019) — TIME, the Emmy Award–winning creator of A Year in Space, and Felix & Paul Studios, the Emmy Award–winning creator of Space Explorers, are combining their storytelling expertise and technological innovation for the ISS Experience, an immersive documentary series filmed on and around the International Space Station. The project, announced today during a panel at the Sundance Film Festival, will be filmed over a yearlong period using specially engineered technical solutions and will culminate in the first-ever capture of a spacewalk in cinematic virtual reality.

“We are excited to be working with Felix & Paul Studios to bring this project to many different audiences, across many different platforms,” said Mia Tramz, Emmy-winning VR producer and editorial director of Enterprise and Immersive Experiences at TIME. “This project will have a life on digital, immersive and physical platforms, and will ultimately serve as an educational experience to inspire generations to come.”
With the support of the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory, NanoRacks and the unparalleled access provided by NASA, the ISS Experience will provide viewers with a first-person experience of life on board the International Space Station, highlighting the learnings of astronauts who have lived and worked on the ISS over the past 20 years and providing insights into the future of space exploration.
“Everything we have done to date as a studio has led up to this moment. We’ve immersed audiences around the world in extraordinary settings—from the White House to Eminem’s Detroit to the plains of the Serengeti—but space is the ultimate destination,” said Félix Lajeunesse, Emmy-winning creative director at Felix & Paul Studios. “We’re proud to be on this ambitious journey with our partners at TIME, producing the single most immersive experience ever made of life in space on the International Space Station.”
After intensive technological development, testing and flight certification, TIME and Felix & Paul Studios launched two cinematic virtual-reality camera systems via NanoRacks to the International Space Station on December 5, 2018. The ISS Experience series will be captured with a Z CAM V1 Pro camera, manufactured and provided by Z CAM (Shenzhen ImagineVision Technology ltd), that were adapted by Felix & Paul Studios into a custom setup that incorporates purpose-built hardware and software that allows for shooting in space by the crew of astronauts on board the International Space Station.
In early 2019, two additional VR cameras are slated to launch to the International Space Station, built to film outside of the ISS and to capture the first-ever spacewalk in cinematic virtual reality.
The ISS Experience is the latest example of both TIME’s and Felix & Paul Studios’ commitment to implementing groundbreaking technology to pursue exciting new forms of storytelling. Slated to be presented in augmented reality, virtual reality and other immersive platforms, the ISS Experience builds on the success of the TIME’s Emmy-winning documentary A Year in Space and its award-winning video and immersive projects teams, as well as Felix & Paul Studios’ critically acclaimed Space Explorers series and award-winning technology platform.
The series will be distributed as both a digital XR experience and physical ticketed experiential exhibition at select museums and public locations. To view the trailer, receive project updates and learn more about the ISS Experience, visit time.com/issexperience.

Read on to discover some of the annual offerings.
Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities, Eatonville, zorafestival.org
“Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.” The words of Zora Neale Hurston still resonate today.

I WILL: Call for Leonard Peltier
Jan 5, 2015 | General, Press
Leonard Peltier has been in prison since 1977 in spite of overwhelming calls for clemency. It is enough now. Clemency is long past due for Leonard Peltier.
See what others have to say in the “I WILL” video:
Human Rights Action Center (HRAC) is joining a flood of supporters seeking clemency for Native American Leonard Peltier.
Native peoples across the United States have joined with HRAC, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and other luminaries and organizations including, but not limited to Harry Belafonte, Kris Kristofferson, the late Pete Seeger, members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, The National Congress of American Indians, Wes Studi, Chris Eyre, Carlos Santana, Jackson Browne, Irene Bedard, Peter Gabriel, Michael Moore, Chaske Spencer, Chef Art Smith, Tom Morello and others to bring Peltier’s case back to the public’s attention.
Peltier, now 70, has been in prison since 1976 for his alleged involvement in an incident that occurred on the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. The Peltier case has been the subject of “In the Spirit of Crazy Horse” by acclaimed author Peter Matthiessen and “Incident at Oglala,” a documentary film produced and narrated by Robert Redford.
In declining health, Leonard Peltier has served nearly 40 years in prison.
The circumstances of Peltier’s conviction have drawn the attention of Amnesty International (AI) and other human rights organizations. The Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, The World Council of Churches, The European Parliament, The former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson, Coretta Scott King, Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI), and thousands of other supporters have asked for Peltier’s release.
The Human Rights Action Center has been instrumental in the campaigns to free Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, and others.
This five minute clemency PSA is Executive Produced by Jack Healey, Directed by Douglas Busby, Produced by Jack Magee and Douglas Busby and conceived and written by Sheron Wyant Leonard.
Readers can make the difference. Will you?
I WILL… call the White House to request clemency.
Even better? Leave comment when you have contacted the White House.

LA County and LAUSD to Explore Launching an Accessory Dwelling Units Partnership Program
As the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) decommissions thousands of bungalows once used as classrooms, these units could potentially be converted into detached, low-cost small houses that could help alleviate Los Angeles County’s lack of affordable housing. To explore this innovative strategy, today the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a motion, authored by Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, that directs pertinent County Departments to provide a report back in 120 days on the feasibility of converting these units into affordable accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
“In L.A. County, we are facing an unprecedented housing crisis that is pricing hardworking families out of their homes and pushing them into homelessness,” said Supervisor Solis. “The County needs to add more than half a million affordable units to meet the existing demand from low-income renters. Government subsidized housing and large-scale developments are not enough to meet this demand. As the County combats homelessness in partnership with other government agencies, we must seek creative solutions, and accessory dwelling units could be one innovative way to help ease our region’s lack of affordable housing.”
“The severity of the housing and homelessness crisis we are facing in L.A. County requires all of us to come together to develop real solutions,” said LAUSD school board member Jackie Goldberg. “LAUSD has literally thousands of unused bungalows that we are in the process of removing, which could be converted to housing for residents experiencing homelessness. This is a win-win for all involved. I support Supervisor Solis’ Board motion and applaud her leadership in bringing it.”
The 2019 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count found that nearly 59,000 people experience homelessness in L.A. County on any given night — a 12 percent increase from the previous year. In LAUSD alone, over 17,000 students experience homelessness.
Housing experts attribute these rising numbers to skyrocketing housing costs. In L.A. County, the median home price in August 2019 was over $600,000. The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment now stands at more than $1,700 a month, and a two-bedroom apartment is priced at over $2,200 a month.
ADUs, which are also referred to as “granny flats,” are small housing units that are not connected to an original house, and have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and living space. ADUs are often located in the backyard of a larger home. With recent state legislation easing ADU zoning restrictions, these units minimize environmental impacts and require no new land costs. In addition, granny flats offer seniors and low-income homeowners a viable means to generate income through rents, provide multi-generational living for families at all stages of life, and facilitate caregiver housing.
Today’s motion will explore the feasibility of an ADU-specific low-interest financing program for senior citizens and low-income residents, including temporary property tax exemptions. This Board motion also directs pertinent County Departments to develop a framework for a collaborative partnership with the local Conservation Corps, the Los Angeles and Orange County Building Trades, local universities and community colleges, and the LA County Department of Public Works in creating standard adaptive re-use designs of these ADUs and securing state certification of these redesigns. This collaborative program is expected to give Corps members and other youth hands-on training that could help them transition into careers in the building trades.

American Battery Technology Compnay Receives $2 Million USABC Contract Award for Demonstration of Integrated Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Technologies
By: American Battery Metals Corporation via AccessWire
RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2021 / American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) (OTCQB:ABML) today announced it received a competitively bid $2 million contract award from the United States Advanced Battery Consortium LLC (USABC), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), for the commercial demonstration of its integrated lithium-ion battery recycling system and production of battery cathode grade metal products, the synthesis of high energy density active cathode material from these recycled battery metals by cathode producer and lithium-ion battery recycler BASF, and then the fabrication of large format automotive battery cells from these recycled materials and the testing of these cells against otherwise identical cells made from virgin sourced metals by cell technology developer C4V.
The contract award, which includes a 75% cost-share, funds a 30-month project that began in October 2021. The program's focus is to demonstrate that battery grade metals can be manufactured from recycled materials at lower cost, lower environmental impact, and with higher domestic US sourced content than conventional virgin sourced metals. Commercially prevalent processes will then be used to synthesize high energy density active cathode material from these recycled metals, and then large format automotive battery cells will be manufactured from these recycled materials and tested to validate that these cells achieve the same performance metrics as otherwise identical cells manufactured from conventional virgin sourced metals. This is American Battery Technology Company's first contract with USABC.
"While the domestic manufacturing capacities of electric vehicles and of lithium-ion battery cells have grown rapidly in the US in recent years, unfortunately the domestic production capacities of the battery metals that supply these operations have not kept pace," stated project Principal Investigator and American Battery Technology Company CEO Ryan Melsert. "The establishment of a commercial scale domestic US battery recycling industry can address these challenges and produce each of the battery metals required to supply new manufacturing operations. We are excited that through this demonstration ABTC will work together with such highly respected industry leaders to demonstrate a low-cost, low-environmental impact, integrated lithium-ion battery manufacturing supply chain to enable a true closed-loop domestic circular economy." Melsert discusses the integrated, full-scale project in more depth in this video.

Surveying: More Resources
Whenua Māori Resources
‘Traditional’ grey literature
‘New’ grey literature
Finding grey literature
The term 'grey literature' (GL) is used to describe materials not published commercially or indexed by major databases. While GL may be of questionable quality, it has been shown to have an impact in research, teaching and learning. Sometimes, GL is the only source of information for specific research questions. While some GL may be published eventually, and may be easier to find, sometimes it never is.
GL may not go through a peer-review process, and its authority must be scrutinised. For more information on how to evaluate resources, check out the Journals & Databases page on this Subject Guide, and in particular the boxes; ‘Assess your findings’ & ‘Evaluating information: additional resources’.
Traditional sources of grey literature include, but are not limited to:
Census, economic and other “grey” data sources
Databases of on-going research
Statistics and other data sources
Conference proceedings and abstracts
Research reports (completed and uncompleted)
Technical specifications, standards, and annual reports
Informal communication (i.e. telephone conversations, meetings, etc.)
In essence, grey literature is:
Not formally part of ‘traditional publishing cycles’ – producers include research groups, universities and government.
Not widely disseminated – dissemination of published materials is the goal in traditional publishing.
'New' forms of grey literature include:
E-prints, preprints
Electronic networked communication
Blogs, podcasts (audio or video)
Spatial data (e.g. Google Earth)
Meta-searching, federated searching, portals
Wikis, Twitter, other social media
Advice on ways to find grey literature:
Traditional databases. Many databases allow you to search not only published journal articles, but also other resources, like conference papers & theses.
Specialised databases. For example, theses databases (see our Thesis Guide for resources).
Directories and organisations. Check out some of the links in the 'Surveying Associations & Societies' box on this page to get started searching organisation's websites. Check out the 'Selected Web Resources' box, to access a few key Surveying websites.
Library catalogues. Many catalogues (including Library Search | Ketu) now index more than traditional sources of information, including things like; technical reports, research datasets, and sometimes even websites & blogs.
Repositories. To get you started, check out the list in the 'Research Repositories' box on this page.
Personal communications. For example; phonecalls, emails, blogs, Twitter and other types of social networks.
Hand-searching of relevant publications. Sometimes resources may not be available online, or even have any information about them online. In these cases, you have to search the old fashioned way!
Internet searches. If you are not getting results on Google Scholar, try regular Google. There are other search engines available that are alternatives to using Google, e.g. Bing & DuckDuckGo.
This box has used information adapted from the 'Grey literature in health: Home page' of a library guide that was put together by my Health Sciences Librarian colleagues, who in turn referred to the University of Pennsylvania Libraries' grey literature information page as a source for content.

Charlie Porter (born in Boynton Beach, FL May 10, 1978) grew up in West Palm Beach. His grandmother Anne Wolf, who was a visual artist and avid jazz fan, urged Charlie to begin playing the trumpet at twelve years of age. He reluctantly took up the trumpet but wasn't inspired to study it seriously until his later meeting with Wynton Marsalis. Charlie was accepted into the Palm Beach County School of the Arts in 1990 in both visual and music arts (now Dreyfoos School of the Arts). His early mentors included Randy Sonntag, Wayne Miller and Sy Pryweller.
In 1991, Charlie's grandmother took Porter to see Wynton Marsalis backstage after a concert at the Carefree Theatre, which turned into an impromptu lesson. At this meeting, the first of many to come, Marsalis introduced Charlie to guitarist George Davis who became Charlie’s first jazz mentor. Davis taught Charlie the basics of jazz harmony and introduced him to Tony York, who later taught Charlie about composition and improvisation.
A budding composer at the age of fifteen, Charlie started his own group, the Charlie Porter Quintet, in 1993, which performed his original music at the Jazz Showcase, Sunfest, and many other local Palm Beach venues. His group was even joined by the famed Blue Note era jazz multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan for two concerts at the Jazz Showcase in 1994.
A star player in high-school, Charlie kept busy playing with the Palm Beach community College Big Band, the Florida Atlantic University Symphony and principle trumpet in the Palm Beach Youth Symphony. Charlie was featured as a soloist with the Palm Beach Pops Orchestra during his senior year of highschool. He was first chair in the Florida All-state Jazz band his junior and senior year of highschool, and was also a member of the GRAMMY Jazz Band, that met in Miami each week where he played with trumpeters Michael Rodriguez and Seneca Black, guitarist Mike Moreno and the and Strickland brothers (EJ and Marcus).
Charlie, inspired by reading of Wynton's own educational path, auditioned for and attended the Boston University Tanglewood Institute in the summer of 1995 before moving to New York City to attend The Juilliard School, where he then studied unofically with Wynton. There, from 1996-2000, he earned his Bachelor of Music degree under the private tutelage of trumpeters Raymond Mase and Mark Gould. In 1996, as a freshman, Charlie won first place in the competition, followed by performance of the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto with the Juilliard Orchestra at Alice Tully Hall in 1996.
During his studies at The Juilliard School, Charlie began playing professionally in New York City. As a capable jazz and classical musician, Porter's playing caught the ears of conductor Kristjan Jarvi, who invited him to join the Absolute Ensemble. With this group, Porter would go on to tour the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand and record nine albums with the ensemble (including Absolution, nominated for a Grammy Award in 2000). Following his graduation in 2000 from Juilliard, Charlie was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study abroad at the Regional Paris Conservatory with trumpeter Guy Touvron. After his return to the United States, Porter freelanced from 2001-2012 in New York City, where he performed with orchestras, jazz groups and played on Broadway shows.
While in New York, Charlie formed a jazz quartet that played reguarly in town and abroad that has included members Adam Birnbaum, Quincy Davis, Scott Ritchie, Joseph Lepore and Jon Wikan. Charlie also performed and recorded with other notable players such as Jeb Patton, William Delisfort, Arun Luthra, David Wong, Ivan Taylor, Jonathan Blake, Mike Moreno, Joe Saylor, Dan Kaufman, Pete Van Nostrand, Majid Khaliq, Dion Tucker, Danny Kirkhum, Pete Van Nostrand, McClenty Hunter, Corcoran Holt, Ingrid Jensen, Andre Hayward, Jonny McCaslin, Paquito D’Rivera, Eric Lewis, Kenny Drew Jr., and Joe Zawinul as well as larger jazz groups including the Björkestra, Gotham Jazz Orchestra, Charli Persip Big Band, Mike Longo Big Band, and Russ Spiegel Jazz Orchestra. His quartet was chosen twice by Jazz at Lincoln Center to tour abroad in the Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad program in 2007/2010 and was invited, yet again, to participate in an "all-star" group in 2013 with Eli Yamin, Ari Roland, and Alvin Atkinson Jr.. In 2011, his quartet was also chosen by Carnegie Hall in 2011 to perform for New York City’s underserved community in their "Musical Connections" program. As a jazz composer, Charlie was awarded a New Works Commisioning Grant in 2005 by Chamber Music America and The Dorris Duke Charitble Foundation, which he used to write and premiere his "Buddy Bolden Suite" at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Charlie also worked extensively as a classical musician, performing with chamber groups and orchestras, including the American Composers Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony, Ossia Symphony, Garden State Philharmonic, MidAmerica Orchestra, Amato Opera, DiCapo Opera, American Lyric Theater, Argento Chamber Ensemble, the Russian Chamber Orchestra. He was also a member of the Dallas Brass during their 2009/2010 toruing season. As a member of Absolute Ensemble, Charlie performed and recorded with many notable musicians, including classical soloist Simone Dinnerstein as well as collaborations with Goran Bregovic, Marcel Khalife, and former members of Frank Zappa's band. He was also a regular in the Broadway show The Apple Tree, starring Kristin Chenoweth, 2006-2007. During this time, Porter was also earning his Master of Music degree in jazz from Manhattan School of Music, where he studied privately with Laurie Frink, Cecil Bridgewater, and Gary Dial.
Nearing the end of 2012, Porter relocated to the west coast, first to Eugene, Oregon and eventually into Portland. Within the next year Chuck Israels invited Charlie to join his group, the Chuck Israels Jazz Orchestra and Alan Jones also invited Porter to join his sextet. Charlie recorded and performed extensively with the groups. Since relocating, he has also performed and recorded with notable jazz performers Jimmy Greene, George Colligan, Mel Brown, Jay Thomas, Aaron Diehl, Dan Faenhle, and Miles Black. He has since also collaborated with world-music great, Kim Duk-soo, the British indie pop band Bastille, classical violin super-star Sarah Chang and opera super-star Joyce DiDonato (a collaboration that earned him a Grammy Award in 2020 for the album Songplay).
Charlie Porter released his debut album, Charlie Porter, in 2018 followed by ahis second album Immigration Nation in 2019 (Origin Records), guarnering him 4 and 4 1/2 star reviews in DownBeat, All About Jazz, Jazziz, and many other piblications. As an educator, Charlie currently teaches jazz trumpet at Portland State University. He also teaches through his more than 100 educational videos on his YouTube channel, with over 40K subscribers.

On the picket line
By Mattie Starrdust and Sue Davis posted on January 8, 2015
States’ minimum wage increases benefit millions of workers
Millions of low-wage workers in the U.S. will see an hourly pay increase in 2015, based on rising minimum wages in 23 states and the District of Columbia. For instance, voters in Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota passed increases by ballot initiative. Ten state legislatures, including Maryland, Michigan and Minnesota, voted for increases. Nine states, including Arizona, Colorado and New Jersey, raised them as part of scheduled cost-of-living increases. Washington state now has the highest minimum wage at $9.47 an hour, followed by Oregon at $9.25. Workers in Massachusetts got a bump from $8 to $9. A total of 29 states now have a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum of $7.25.
Increases for approximately 60 percent of the country’s workforce are a hard won victory for millions of workers currently earning poverty wages. However, the increases in many states will initially provide only a few cents more per hour, with the majority of increases taking effect over coming months and years. Florida and Missouri only raised their minimums by 12 and 15 cents, respectively. Despite workers’ clarion calls for livable wages, especially the $15 an hour campaign, the Republican-controlled Congress will likely not heed their needs. (New York Times, Jan. 1)
Cablevision CEO found guilty of gross labor violations
On Dec. 5, a federal judge in New York found telecom provider Cablevision and its CEO, James Dolan, guilty of multiple labor law violations designed to prevent workers in Brooklyn and the Bronx from forming a union. Included are 22 illegal firings, bargaining in bad faith, and spying on, intimidating and harassing workers engaged in union organizing with the Communications Workers. Dolan first launched his anti-union attack some three years ago when technicians in Brooklyn voted to join the CWA. Amid ongoing contract negotiations, the workers welcomed the guilty verdict as a positive development in their continuing efforts to secure fair and just wages and union representation. (TheCablevision99.org, Dec. 5)
D.C. health care workers take wage thieves to court
As many as 6,000 home health care workers in Washington, D.C., are seeking class action status in a lawsuit filed Dec. 11 against three of the city’s largest health care providers. The suit accuses Health Management Inc., Nursing Enterprises and Vizion One Inc. of widespread wage theft over three years. If successful, the lawsuit could award workers more than $150 million in damages and back pay. The 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East announced that additional lawsuits will be filed. “For years, the home care agencies flagrantly violated the District of Columbia’s basic wage and hour protections for workers,” said Greg McGillivary, a lawyer representing the workers. “These lawsuits will help the home care workers recover the money that is owed to them.” (dclabor.org, Dec. 12)
Part-time faculty at private colleges have right to organize
A December ruling by the National Labor Relations Board ensures that part-time faculty at private colleges and universities across the country have the right to unionize. The ruling settled a dispute between contingent faculty and administrators at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., over whether those faculty are management and are therefore ineligible for union membership. According to the ruling, only faculty who have control over admission, academic programs, finances and personnel can be considered managerial. “This is a huge decision for higher ed, where 75 percent of us are now contingent faculty,” said PLU lecturer Jane Harty. “We don’t have any say in curriculum or any voice in faculty governance.” (New York Times, Dec. 22)
AFT takes stand against Coca-Cola
In a laudable expression of international workers’ solidarity, the executive board of the American Federation of Teachers, representing 1.6 million workers, passed a resolution Oct. 15 banning the sale of Coca-Cola products at AFT facilities and events. The resolution cites Coke’s history of violence against union organizers in Colombia and Guatemala, its use of child labor on sugar plantations in El Salvador and the outsourcing of thousands of jobs at poverty wages. The resolution encourages AFT members to aid efforts banning Coke at their schools, hospitals and other workplaces. (KillerCoke.org, Nov. 16) Since the “Campaign to Stop Killer Coke” began in 2003, several dozen union locals and state and central labor councils have passed similar resolutions; AFT is the fifth international union to do so.

Carnival Corporation Upgrading Global Fleet with Fuel- and Energy-Saving Technology
To significantly reduce energy and fuel consumption, upgrades include investments in on-demand automation and controls, cooling enhancements, LED lighting and efficient HVAC systems.
Carnival Corporation & plc, the world's largest cruise company, announced the rollout of comprehensive technology upgrades called Service Power Packages across its global fleet to further improve energy savings and reduce fuel consumption. The upgrades include ongoing installations through 2023 on ships from the company’s nine cruise line brands – Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard.
Carnival Corporation’s Service Power upgrade program delivers an average of 5-10% fuel savings per ship and is expected to reduce fleetwide greenhouse gas emissions by more than 500,000 metric tons each year. In addition to the environmental benefits, the program upon completion is expected to generate over $150 million in annual fuel cost savings.
Developed over the past six years, the company’s Service Power program delivers significant efficiency upgrades across the fleet, including air conditioning upgrades to cabin and public areas, and major enhancements to cooling, lighting and automation systems. Adjusting for variations in ship design, size and equipment, the company customizes the Service Power Package for each ship, which combines the synergies from multiple upgrades with new operational efficiencies, all effectively supporting Carnival Corporation’s energy savings and decarbonization strategies.
The Carnival Corporation Service Power Packages include the following elements designed to work together to reduce each ship’s overall service load – the energy required to support all onboard hotel systems – and as a result, significantly reduce both fuel usage and emissions:
Comprehensive upgrades to each ship’s hotel HVAC systems, accounting for 25% of a ship’s energy consumption, to improve hotel ventilation efficiency using sophisticated variable speed drives and on-demand systems throughout public areas, cabins and galleys. Additionally, indoor air quality is continuously monitored and maintained to the highest standards at sea, using an industry-leading air filtration and ultraviolet-C treatment throughout the ship.
Technical systems upgrades on each ship using variable speed drives and on-demand automated control systems for engine room ventilation, main air conditioning chillers and cooling pumps, which together dramatically lower the energy needed to deliver cooling around the ship.
State-of-the-art LED lighting systems installed throughout each ship to reduce both power consumption and heat load generation – creating a dual benefit from lower air conditioning demand.
Remote monitoring and maintenance improvements that maximize benefits from the upgrade packages, including improved instrumentation and automated management systems, with nonstop ship-to-shore connectivity. Expanded remote monitoring and analysis of each ship’s energy performance and technical status ensure peak efficiency and minimal down times.
“The Service Power program closely aligns with our long-term sustainability and decarbonization goals and our highest responsibility and top priority, which is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we visit, and our shipboard and shoreside personnel," said Bill Burke, chief maritime officer for Carnival Corporation. “Based on our improved fleet composition, including adding six industry-leading LNG-powered ships, and our previous investments to increase efficiency and reduce emissions, our absolute carbon emissions peaked in 2011 despite significant capacity growth over the past decade. These tailored Service Power Packages further build on those efforts as part of our comprehensive approach to sustainability.”
The fleetwide enhancements are part of Carnival Corporation’s ongoing energy efficiency investment program and efforts to reduce fuel consumption, including over $350 million invested in energy efficiency improvements since 2016, along with the company’s fleet optimization strategy and design of more efficient itineraries. Together, these ongoing efforts are expected to drive a 10% reduction in fuel consumption per available lower berth day (ALBD) in the company's first full year of guest cruise operations compared to 2019, along with a 9% reduction in carbon emissions per lower berth distance traveled.
As part of its longer-term sustainability plan and vision, Carnival Corporation has committed to significant investments to achieve its 2030 sustainability goals and 2050 aspirations, which incorporate six critical sustainability focus areas overall. These areas include climate action; circular economy; sustainable tourism; good health and well-being; diversity, equity and inclusion; and biodiversity and conservation.
Among these priorities, the company has committed to reducing carbon emission intensity by 20% from its 2019 baseline by 2030, supporting its efforts and aspirations to achieve net carbon-neutral ship operations by 2050.
More information on the company’s sustainability efforts is available at www.CarnivalSustainability.com.

Saxophonist/Composer
http://loganrichardson.global/
Born and, raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Logan Richardson was mentored by some of the finest figures in the history of improvised music, including Jay McShann, Claude “Fiddler” Williams, and Queen Bey, in addition to having artists such as Max Roach, Shirley Scott, Jimmy Heath, Clark Terry, Kenny Burrell, Marcus Belgrave, Richard Davis as artists in residence between the ages of 15 to 19 years old. At 19 years old he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to study at the Berklee College of Music, and after one year Logan left Boston to move to New York to complete his studies at The New School University on a full scholarship. At the age of 21 years old Logan was provided with immediate opportunities to perform, tour, and record professionally with masters such as Joe Chambers, Butch Morris, Stefon Harris, Ambrose Akinmusire, Greg Tardy, Nasheet Waits, Michelle Rosewoman, Billy Hart, and Jason Moran.
In 2006 Logan released his debut album, Cerebral Flow, and in 2009 he followed up with his sophomore album, Ethos. In 2011 Logan moved from New York, to Paris where he has continued to build a wide spread international acclaim for his angular, shape painting, intervallic approach to playing the alto saxophone. Logan has been received favorably for his uniquely identifiable sound on the alto horn, in addition to his compositional fortitude in which he displays at a great depth as an urban sound designer.
In 2012 Logan collaborated with Concord Records, and soon after released the project, NEXT Collective, in addition to being the alto voice in this formation, Logan was also an arranger, and co-producer for the project.
Logan has recently recorded his highly anticipated third album, SHIFT, with an elegantly matched band of artists, innovators, and including 20 time grammy winning guitarist, Pat Metheny; MacArthur genius grant recipient, and Artistic Director of Jazz at Kennedy Center, pianist, Jason Moran; the greatest living drummer, and son of master Freddie Waits, drummer Nasheet Waits; bassist of Ambrose Akinmusire’s band, and innovator of the double bass, bassist Harish Raghavan;

San'ya is a place in Taitō, which is one of the special wards of Tokyo in Japan. It is a region with a distinct culture, an area of crowded, cheap rooming houses where day laborers live. San'ya dates to the Edo period. Lower caste workers, butchers, tanners, leatherworkers, and the like, were forced to live in this undesirable region by the predominantly Buddhist authorities. It has retained its association with both lower class workers and with craftsmen. Within the past few years gentrification has begun to encroach on the area. In recent years, many of the rooming houses have converted to provide cheap accommodation for foreign backpackers. The name means "mountain valley". $$https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdCux75t2ac$$

UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP CREATES JOINT VENTURE WITH ACCOMPLISHED MUSIC ENTREPRENEUR TODD MOSCOWITZ TO LAUNCH COLD HEAT RECORDS
SANTA MONICA, NOVEMBER 10, 2016 – Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, today announced a joint venture with Todd Moscowitz, the music industry entrepreneur who has worked with hip-hop artists including Common, Young Thug, Fetty Wap and Gucci Mane, to launch Cold Heat Records. The label, based in New York City, begins operations immediately.
In making the announcement, Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of UMG said, “At Universal Music, entrepreneurship is in our DNA so we constantly seek to attract the brightest executives in the business embodying that spirit. With his impressive track record of identifying and breaking some of the most successful artists in hip hop, Todd is a excellent addition to our team of creative executives who are committed to bringing the best new talent to fans around the world.”
Moscowitz said, “Lucian, Boyd Muir and the management team at UMG have created an environment that encourages risk-taking and pushing creative boundaries, while giving entrepreneurs the resources and freedom to grow—and the results speak for themselves. I’m thrilled to be a part of the most forward-thinking team in the industry, and I’m looking forward to building Cold Heat Records into a preeminent destination for artists of all genres.”
During the last two decades, Moscowitz established an exceptional track record that also includes signing and working with artists ranging from Action Bronson, Meek Mill, Mike Jones, Migos, Young Thug, Jill Scott, Macklemore and the record labels OVO Sound and Maybach Music Group (MMG).
Before launching Cold Heat Records, in 2013 Moscowitz co-founded 300 Entertainment, a New York-based independent company that signed, developed and broke artists such Fetty Wap, Highly Suspect and Migos.
Moscowitz earlier held several positions with increasing authority at Warner Music Group, starting in 2004 as President of Asylum Records, where he quickly established that label as a leading destination and partner to music entrepreneurs in the discovery of promising new urban and hip-hop artists. Two years later he was named President (and subsequently CEO) of the company’s Independent Label Group, comprised of Asylum, East West Records and Cordless Recordings. In 2009, Moscowitz joined Warner Bros. Records, a year later taking on the title of CEO of the label.
Before Warner Music, Moscowitz was a partner at Violator Management, where he worked with artists such as 50 Cent and Missy Elliott. He began his music career at Rush Management while attending law school. At 26, Moscowitz became head of Rush Communications, taking the titles of President, Def Jam Music Publishing and President, Def Jam Interactive Gaming, before Def Jam’s sale in 2000 to UMG.

End National Security Scapegoating
Prof Xi speaks at a press conference held at CAA on October 18, 2017.
In early October, CAA joined Chinese Progressive Association, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Asian Law Caucus and notable community leaders Henry Der, Ling-chi Wang, and Helen Zia to form the End National Security Scapegoating (ENSS) coalition. The coalition was established in response to pervasive efforts by the U.S. Department of Justice that target and prosecute Chinese American individuals for espionage related crimes.
One such Chinese American is Professor Xiaoxing Xi, who, in 2015, was falsely charged and prosecuted by the FBI for allegedly sharing technology to a Chinese-based company. He faced charges carrying a maximum penalty of 80 years in prison and a $1 million fine. After causing significant hardship and distress to Professor Xi and his family, the FBI eventually dropped the case without explanation or an apology.
Members of the ENSS coalition and supporters at San Francisco State University. From left to right: Cynthia Choi, CAA Co-Executive Director; CA Assemblymember Phil Ting; Prof. Xiaoxing Xi; Grace Yoo, Chair of the Asian American Studies Dept.; Dr. Russell Jeung, SFSU Professor; Pam Tau Lee, Chinese Progressive Association Board Chair.
Today, Professor Xi is seeking justice and accountability for his wrongful prosecution and to help end national security scapegoating and racial profiling in general. In efforts to raise awareness and to mobilize the community, the ENSS coalition invited Professor Xi to participate in a speaking tour at San Francisco State University, University of California-Berkeley, and Stanford University. Along with other experts, Professor Xi spoke powerfully about the dangers of racial bias in government surveillance programs based on his own experience.
Regrettably, this form of discrimination is part of our U.S. history. From the Chinese Exclusion Act to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, Asian Americans have been labeled and profiled as perpetual foreigners and threats to national security. The Muslim Ban, police violence against African Americans, and attacks against immigrants today must be understood in this same vein.
CAA, with our ENSS coalition partners, will continue to oppose efforts to racially profile Asians Americans under the false pretext of national security, to advocate for greater government accountability, and to build alliances across affected communities.

Count Nikolai von Bismarck Biography
(Photographer)
Birthday: December 29, 1986 (Capricorn)
Born In: London, England
Count Nikolai von Bismarck, a descendant of German statesman and Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, is a British-German photographer who is currently dating English supermodel Kate Moss. He has trained under Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino and has assisted American celebrity portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. He is known for his debut photoshoot 'Like a Virgin' for 'Tatler' and his first solo exhibition 'In Ethiopia' in London. He often shoots reportage, portraiture, and fashion photographs for magazines and newspapers. He shot the official 18th birthday portrait of his friend Princess Beatrice of York and, as per rumors, has given Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, an "abstract photography" lesson. He reportedly uses social media, particularly Facebook, under a pseudonym because he was once banned from the site after an altercation around a group, which was thought to be racist.

Rise to Stardom
Count Nikolai von Bismarck first became interested in taking pictures during his visit to the Maasai in Kenya when he was 13 years old. At 16, he assisted Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino in shooting New York strippers as part of a holiday job. His first photoshoot, 'Like a Virgin' for 'Tatler' magazine in 2006, was commission by Isabella Blow. His mother, who styled and choreographed the event, cast him as a model appearing alongside three female models wearing pure white. Since then, he has been seen at various photography and fashion events, as well as with his circle of aristocrats and elites, which includes Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and art dealer Blaise Patrick who is a friend of Prince Harry. However, he became a favorite of tabloids in late-2015 after he was spotted with supermodel Kate Moss soon after her separation from husband Jamie Hince.
Photography Career
A close friend of Princess Beatrice of York, Count Nikolai von Bismarck was the photographer for her official 18th birthday portrait, for which he received a shout-out from his art teacher Testino in the Harrow newsletter. Soon after, he went to study at Parsons Paris School of Art & Design, and on his return, assisted renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz in New York for two years. Following his passion for photography, he travelled widely around Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia, during which he photographed prostitutes in Mozambique, cockfights in Cuba, gypsy colonies and trash collectors in Romania, the Naga Tribe in Northern Burma, and more. He once lived in Ethiopia for some time, during which he "drank cow’s blood for breakfast and slept in a tent that was guarded by kids with AK-47s". This prompted some tabloids to sensationalize the news by calling him the "blood-drinking count".
In late December 2013, he organized his first solo exhibition, 'In Ethiopia', at the 12 Francis Street Gallery in London. It was visited by prominent people like Fatima Bhutto, Ronnie Wood, Jerry Hall and family friends Pixie and Bob Geldof. His reportage work has been featured in 'The Times' and 'The Daily Mirror', and his fashion and portraiture work has appeared in 'Vogue' and 'Harper’s Bazaar'.
Count Nikolai von Bismarck was born as Nikolai Leopold Archibald Graf von Bismarck-Schönhausen on December 29, 1986, in Central London, England. He is a member of the German noble family, House of Bismarck, and is a great-great grandson of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg). His family is currently headed by his uncle, Ferdinand, Prince of Bismarck. He is the oldest son of Count Leopold von Bismarck-Schönhausen and Countess Debonnaire 'Debbie' Jane Patterson, and has three brothers named Tassilo, Caspar, and Sascha. His siblings call him Nick Nock, and they often wear matching clothes. His father is the youngest child of Otto Christian Archibald, Prince of Bismarck and Ann-Mari Tengbom, the daughter of Ivar Tengbom. His mother is the granddaughter of John Roseberry Monson, 10th Baron Monson and the niece of John Monson, 11th Baron Monson.
Nikolai attended the elite all-boys boarding school, Harrow School, in Harrow, London, which boasts of alumnus like actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
Count Nikolai von Bismarck and his friend Princess Beatrice had went hiking in the Inca Trail together on his gap year, which fuelled rumors of them dating. He later dated Theodora Richards, the daughter of Rolling Stone rocker Keith Richards. He has known 13 years older Kate Moss, a friend of his mother, since he was a kid. In fact, Debonnaire is reportedly Moss' mentor as well. In October 2015, news spread that he was living in the basement of Moss’s Highgate home. They made the relationship public in June 2016 when they attended, hand-in-hand, the launch of Kate's collection in collaboration with Equipment. The couple also attended the wedding of Princess Eugenie together in October 2018. Moss has a 16-year-old daughter named Lila Grace from her ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack.

Vietnam Tops the Chart of the World’s Fastest-growing Economies
Vietnam’s economic growth surpasses India and China, opening doors for modern logistics
A recent GDP growth statistics report states that Vietnam is the fastest growing world economy with a growth rate of 7.31% in 2019. It has surpassed the growth rate of other Asian economies including India and China, which stand at 4.5% and 6% CAGR respectively.
The primary factor contributing to this massive leap in Vietnam’s economic growth is the amount of Foreign Direct Investment coming in from investors around the world, especially the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Almost 68% of the total FDI capital was invested in the manufacturing industry and 10.4% in real estate.
Although industries like electronics, food processing, fashion, real estate, and manufacturing dominate the Vietnamese market, tourism plays a significant role in the economy attracting nearly 6.8 million visitors yearly from different countries around the world, making Vietnam the most favorable tourist destination in South East Asia.
Another driving force behind Vietnam’s growing investment popularity is the country’s collection of free trade agreements (FTAs), such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership with Canada and the EU-Vietnam FTA with European countries.
However, a major challenge encountered by the region is its high logistics costs owing to under-developed transport infrastructure and inadequate logistics facilities. Higher logistics costs tend to bring down the profitability of the country’s import, export, transportation, and delivery services. This implies a higher demand for cost-effective and efficient logistics services in Vietnam.
AI-enabled solutions are optimizing the supply chains of virtually every industry to cut logistics costs and save time. Geocoding algorithms, AI-based forward and reverse logistics solutions, automated vehicle allocation, shipment sorting, etc. are some breakthrough technologies that are transforming supply chains across South East Asia and it’s about time companies in Vietnam switch to AI-driven logistics for greater efficiencies.
Locus provides intelligent logistics automation solutions and expert consulting to bring efficiency, transparency, and consistency to the supply chain.

{ Cast & Crew: Ellen Fitzhugh }
Although Fitzhugh provided the voice of the Bar Maid, her main work on The Great Mouse Detective was writing Ratigan's songs, "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" and "Goodbye, So Soon" with Larry Grossman. Her previous writing credit was for the 1985 musical Grind, about an African-American burlesque house in 1930's Chicago. She received a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Lyrics and a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score.
Fitzhugh briefly worked again with Mr. Grossman in 1989 for the American TV series, Shining Time Station, a children's program about Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. It starred Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor (from 1989 to 1991, afterward with George Carlin) and Didi Conn as Stacy Jones. Fitzhugh wrote the song, "Start Where You Are" for Season 1, Episode 01, "A Place Unlike Any Other." The sequence the song appears is separate from the main episode. A character named Tanya operates an old picture machine and it becomes a music video of children running around Keansburg Amusement Park in New Jersey.
Fitzhugh returned to theater in 2010 with the legendary Hal Prince in the stage production of Paradise Found. Based on the Joseph Roth novel Die Geschichte von der 1002. Nacht (The Tale of the 1002nd Night), the show opened on May 26, but then closed a month later. Work continued in 2012 when Fitzhugh collaborated with Michael John LaChiusa in Los Otros, a musical about a Southern California woman in love with Mexican-American man. It starred Julio Monge and Michele Pawk. 2014 was another busy year, working with Tony Award winner Michael John LaChiusa on the musical Nine Fathers for Ariel. The production is characterized as "a dance musical which centers on a mother's effort to provide her son with good fathering in the face of a war-obsessed world."
The photo of Fitzhugh is from Broadway World. Information on her lyric credits provided by Wikipedia (Grind), Shining Time Station Wiki, The Wall Street Journal (Paradise Found), Playbill (Los Otros), and for Nine Fathers of Ariel.

Seong-Jin Cho Plays Chopin
OTTO TAUSK conductor
SEONG-JIN CHO piano (pictured)
In his 20s, Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho is on a fast track to stardom. The 2015 Chopin Competition winner’s performance of the composer’s spellbinding Second Piano Concerto is unmissable.
LIGETI Romanian Concerto (NJSO Premiere)
An orchestra showpiece: Ligeti’s childhood memories of Transylvanian folk music culminate in a wild, exhilarating dance.
CHOPIN Piano Concerto No. 2
A youthful affection inspired this concerto’s tender, passionate slow movement. Though Chopin’s infatuation was short-lived, the melody is eternal.
DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 7
Deep, heartfelt and dramatic, reflecting the Czech composer’s ambition to write a piece that would “move the world.”

The world has lost one of its most beloved screen presences. Robbie Coltrane, who appeared in dozens of movies and shows but will forever be known as Hogwarts’ groundskeeper Hagrid, has died. He was 72 years old. According to Deadline, Coltrane “passed away in hospital near his home in Larbert, Scotland. The award-winning actor had been in ill health for the past two years.”
Coltrane appeared as Hagrid in all eight Harry Potter movies, starting with 2001’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and ending with 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2. The lovable giant, who becomes a surrogate father and protector to Harry, was a fan favorite character throughout the entire series.
While a lot of people remember Coltrane best as Hagrid, the Scottish-born actor and comedian had a prolific career outside the Potter franchise. He started acting in his 20s, first on the stage, and then began landing work in television and movies. His filmography includes Mona Lisa, The Adventures of Huck Funn, Message in a Bottle, and From Hell.
In the 1990s, he also starred in the popular British crime drama Cracker, which ran for several seasons and specials; Coltrane won three BAFTA awards for his work as forensic psychologist Edward Fitzgerald. Around that same time, Coltrane also made two appearances in James Bond movies (GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough) as Valentin, a Russian ally of 007.
Although Coltrane has had health problems in recent years, he did participate in the Return to Hogwarts 20th anniversary special that aired earlier this year on HBO Max. One of his comments was already quite touching, but now it becomes almost unspeakably sad.
“The legacy of the movies is that my children’s generation will show them to their children, so you could be watching in 50 years time, easily. I’ll not be here, sadly, but Hagrid will. Yes.”
Yes, he will.

The Founding Fathers who drafted the United States Constitution in 1787 distrusted political parties, popular democracy, centralized government, and a strong executive office. Yet the country's national politics have historically included all those features. In American Political History: A Very Short Introduction, Donald Critchlow takes on this contradiction between original theory and actual practice. This brief, accessible book explores the nature of the two-party system, key turning points in American political history, representative presidential and congressional elections, struggles to expand the electorate, and critical social protest and third-party movements. The volume emphasizes the continuity of a liberal tradition challenged by partisan divide, war, and periodic economic turmoil.
American Political History: A Very Short Introduction explores the emergence of a democratic political culture within a republican form of government, showing the mobilization and extension of the mass electorate over the lifespan of the country. In a nation characterized by great racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, American democracy has proven extraordinarily durable. Individual parties have risen and fallen, but the dominance of the two-party system persists. Fierce debates over the meaning of the U.S. Constitution have created profound divisions within the parties and among voters, but a belief in the importance of constitutional order persists among political leaders and voters. Americans have been deeply divided about the extent of federal power, slavery, the meaning of citizenship, immigration policy, civil rights, and a range of economic, financial, and social policies. New immigrants, racial minorities, and women have joined the electorate and the debates. But American political history, with its deep social divisions, bellicose rhetoric, and antagonistic partisanship provides valuable lessons about the meaning and viability of democracy in the early 21st century.

ND Leaders Unite With U.S. Global Leadership Coalition
June 21, 2012 by Lindsey Warner
Part of North Dakota’s unique position in a troubled economy has been the state’s ability to look outside of its borders and invest in the global economy. To complement growth based on exporting, trade missions, cultural exchanges and educational programming, a group of international business leaders from North Dakota has joined forces with the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) to create the USGLC North Dakota Advisory Committee. This group of business, humanitarian and educational leaders will work to give North Dakotans a voice on foreign policy and international programs. Specifically, all members of the North Dakota Advisory Committee have lent their name in support of the International Affairs Budget and its importance to the state.
“The dedicated leaders on our Advisory Committee know what a tremendous investment the International Affairs Budget is for North Dakota, and we are honored they would stand with us in educating Americans about how critical these programs are not just to our economy, but also our security and values in the world,” said Richard Parker, Communications Director for USGLC.
USGLC is a broad-based organization formed by a coalition of 400 American businesses and non-government organizations, senior national security and foreign policy experts and a diverse range of community leaders from across the country who promote increased support for the United State’s diplomatic and development efforts amongst both politicians and the public.
In addition to the North Dakota Advisory Committee, the USGLC has a number of Leadership and Advisory Boards which consist of some of the nation’s most prominent corporate, non-profit, military and political leaders. The organization prides itself on transcending partisanship and differences between corporate and non-profit members that don’t see eye-to-eye to unite behind calls for a stronger International Affairs Budget.
A large portion of North Dakota’s economic prosperity comes from international trade. North Dakota exported over $3.3 billion in goods and services to foreign markets in 2011, an over 400 percent increase since 2000. Subsequently, trade supported nearly 99,000 jobs in North Dakota in 2010, or 20 percent of total jobs.
North Dakota businesses are increasingly recognizing that, with over 95 percent of the world’s consumers living outside of the U.S., it is vital to tap into international markets to sell the state’s high quality foods and commercial goods. Members of the North Dakota Advisory Committee believe working with national organizations such as USGLC can help ensure the state’s voice is heard at the nation’s capital.
“The goal of developing international growth through diplomacy is the noblest of causes. I feel developing reliable trading partners throughout the world is the best way to build our nation’s security and to grow our domestic agricultural and manufacturing base,” said Ron Martin, Vice President, International Logistics for Midwest Motor Express, Inc. “Using diplomacy to develop international trade is the surest way to ensure international tranquility. The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition strives to ensure that tranquility.”
The following are members of the North Dakota Advisory Committee:
Mark Archibald President, ARCHMEC Management Exporting & Consulting LLC
Dean L. Bresciani, Ph.D President, North Dakota State University
Tami Carmichael, Ph.D Director, Humanities & Integrated Studies, University of North Dakota
Jon Godfread Vice President of Governmental Affairs, North Dakota Chamber of Commerce
Dean Gorder Executive Director, North Dakota Trade Office
Gene Griffin Global Innovative Solutions & Associates
Maj. Gen. Mike Haugen President, M.J. Haugen and Associates
Kristen Hedger President, Dakota Defense Alliance
Kelvin Hullet President, Bismarck Chamber of Commerce
Joseph Jastrzembski, Ph.D Minot State University, International Visitors Program
Ron Martin Vice President, International Logistics, Midwest Motor Express, Inc.
Andy Peterson President, North Dakota Chamber of Commerce
Vineet Saxena Executive Vice President, WCCO Belting, Inc.
Santosh K. Seelan, Ph.D Director, ND-NASA ESSCor
Craig Whitney President, Fargo-Moorhead Chamber of Commerce
Delore Zimmerman, Ph.D CEO, Praxis Strategy Group
“North Dakota is a perfect example of the economic benefits Americans receive at home from a small investment in U.S. development and diplomatic programs. Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers live outside the U.S. and nearly half of our exports go to the developing world,” said Parker. “Our international affairs programs in those countries open the door for North Dakota businesses to export their products. That creates more jobs and opportunity here at home.”
The USGLC Washington Conference, held July 17-18 in Washington, D.C., will provide a platform for state committees from across the nation to meet and discuss foreign policy initiatives and challenges. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from members of Congress, leading Democratic and Republican pundits and former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell.
The full schedule of events can be viewed here.

The Kentucky Headhunters created a hybrid of honky tonk, blues, and Southern rock that appealed to fans of both rock and country music. The origins of the Kentucky Headhunters lie in 1968, when Fred and Richard Young began playing together with their cousins Greg Martin and Anthony Kenney at the Youngs’ grandmother’s house. Mark Orr also later joined them. The first incarnation of the band was called the Itchy Brothers, and the group played together informally for over a decade. After about 13 years, the band members began launching separate careers: Richard Young went off to write songs for Acuff-Rose, while Fred Young began touring with country beauty Sylvia. Martin became a member of Ronnie McDowell’s band, while Kenney dropped out of music. In 1985, Martin decided to reassemble the Itchy Brothers. When Kenney declined to rejoin the group, Martin remembered Doug Phelps, whom he had met while on tour with McDowell. Phelps joined the new project, which was named the Kentucky Headhunters. Besides Martin and Phelps, the band also included the Young brothers and Doug’s brother Ricky Lee Phelps.
The Headhunters started playing twice monthly on The Chitlin’ Show, a program on Munfordville, Kentucky radio station WLOC. From these 90-minute performances, the Headhunters built up a following. They sent an eight-song demo to Mercury, and soon after, the label signed the group. The original demo tape was remixed, and became the basis of the band’s first album, 1989’s Pickin’ on Nashville, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews upon its release and quickly became a hit. “Dumas Walker” reached number 15 in the spring of 1990, followed by the group’s biggest hit, the number six “Oh, Lonesome Me.” In 1991, the Headhunters released their second effort, Electric Barnyard. The album received mixed reviews, couldn’t muster a single, and sold weakly. In summer 1992, the Phelps brothers left the group to form Brothers Phelps, a more traditional country group.
The remaining Headhunters brought ex-Itchy Brothers Anthony Kenney and Mark Orr to the group, and the rehashed lineup released Rave On! in 1993. The album marked a progression toward bluesy Southern rock, which came to fruition later that same year with That’ll Work, a collaboration with former Chuck Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson. In 1996, Doug returned on lead vocals, and a year later the band issued Stompin’ Grounds. Songs from the Grass String Ranch followed in 2000, and Soul appeared in spring 2003. Big Boss Man was released in 2005 and Flying Under the Radar in 2006, both from CBUJ Entertainment. Dixie Lullabies, the group’s 12th album, and first studio recording of new original material since 2003, appeared from Red Dirt Records in 2011. In 2015, the Headhunters released another collaborative album with Johnnie Johnson, Meet Me in Bluesland, drawn from unissued sessions recorded in 2003, two years before Johnson’s death. Just before entering the studio to record their next studio LP, bandmates Richard and Fred Young lost their father. That loss, combined with the excitement of the band’s first European tour, added an emotional poignancy to On Safari, which was released in 2016.
The Kentucky Headhunters, declared “the great American rock ‘n’ roll band” by Billboard magazine, began their professional journey in 1968 when brothers Fred and Richard Young and cousins Greg Martin and Anthony Kenney formed the Southern blues-rock band Itchy Brother. The band morphed into The Kentucky Headhunters in 1986. Their first album, 1989’s Pickin’ On Nashville, was released by Mercury Records and surprised the world, becoming a bona fide hit, selling over two million copies. The album won a Grammy Award, three Country Music Awards, an American Music Award and an Academy Of Country Music Award. It spawned four consecutive Top 40 Country hits. Currently, the band is made up of Richard Young, Fred Young, Greg Martin and Doug Phelps.

See How Parks And Recreation Are Worldclass Amenities And Economic Drivers In Carlsbad New Mexico
See How Parks and Recreation are World-Class Amenities and Economic Drivers in Carlsbad, New Mexico
July is Park and Recreation Month! In Carlsbad, New Mexico, parks and recreation amenities abound. They are important for quality of life and drive economic development because they bring tourist dollars and create attractive, vibrant, and resilient communities.
Research on micropolitan communities has found that amenities such as recreation opportunities are likely as big of contributors to healthy local economies as traditional “business-friendly” measures such as lower taxes and labor costs. Smaller cities with a higher quality of life experience both higher employment and population growth than similarly situated communities, including those that rank high by traditional economic competitiveness measures.
Not only does Carlsbad have its own very own recreation resources like the Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area and Brantley Lake, but it also serves as a home base for exploring world-renown wonders such as Carlsbad Caverns and the Guadalupe Mountains.
A 2019 National Park Service report showed that 466,000 visitors to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in 2018 spent $30.2 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 405 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $34 million.
Lodging expenses accounted for the largest share of visitor spending, with food expenses coming in second. When it was time to eat, visitors spent their dollars in restaurants and bars, as well as in grocery and convenience stores.
Outdoor Recreation in Carlsbad and Beyond
When you think of Carlsbad, desert vistas may come to mind, but right in town, there are miles of riverfront walkways and trails, boating, fishing, and the popular Lake Carlsbad Beach Park. Brantley Lake is just 12 miles from the town center. Carlsbad is also dedicated to organized youth sports, as shown by its numerous fields and courts, as well as a premier sports complex.
The Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area is more than 125 acres located in the heart of Carlsbad at 708 Park Drive along the Pecos River. Pecan trees shade grassy spaces and nearly five miles of lighted walkways.
Carlsbad has taken full advantage of its jewel of a resource. The river is not just beautiful scenery; visitors and residents alike can enjoy swimming, waterskiing, boating, paddling, and fishing in the tranquil waters. Playgrounds, picnic tables, grills, benches, sandy beaches, and a boat launch set the scene for outdoor fun. There are tennis, sand volleyball, pickleball, and racquetball courts, and the area is home to the Lake Carlsbad Golf Course, Carlsbad Water Park, and several RV parks and campgrounds.
There are dozens of other City of Carlsbad Parks too. The City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Department maintains approximately 1,204 acres of parks consisting of sports fields, playgrounds, walking and biking trails, and more.
The Bob Forrest Youth Sport Complex is a safe, secure, state-of-the-art facility housing softball, baseball, soccer, and football fields, which greatly compliments the community’s strong support and participation in organized youth sports. There’s even a splash pad to enjoy!
For a change of pace, Heritage Park on Callaway Drive features the first homestead built in Eddy County. An annual event is held in the covered picnic shelter honoring the pioneer families of Carlsbad and surrounding areas. Plaza De San Jose hosts the annual 16th of September Celebration along with other community-wide celebrations.
New Mexico State Parks
Because of the current fire risks, please check each parks’ website for information about temporary closures before you visit.
Brantley Lake State Park on the Pecos River features boat ramps and a dock and is a fantastic spot for water recreation and fishing. With a surface area of approximately 4,000 acres, Brantley Lake has plenty of room for boating, swimming, waterskiing, jet-skiing, sailing, and fishing. The most common fish stocked by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish include largemouth bass, walleye, channel catfish, trout, sunfish, white bass, bluegill, and crappie. The lake is also an excellent spot for hiking, bird watching, picnicking, and camping. The visitor center includes historical exhibits about the wild west town of Seven Rivers.
The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park is perfect for the whole family! It’s just an 11-minute drive from the Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area and sits atop the Ocotillo Hills overlooking the Pecos River Valley. A 1.3-mile loop around the park introduces visitors to local New Mexican plants and animals. At the Visitor Center, displays explain the Permian Basin's formation, the origins of the area’s oil and gas deposits, and the Mescalero Apaches' history and culture.
The Sitting Bull Falls Recreation Area is a series of waterfalls located in a canyon in the Lincoln National Forest southwest of the city of Carlsbad. An hour outside of Carlsbad, this oasis in the desert is a rare gem offering cool natural pools for swimming, hiking, and cabanas for picnicking. This park makes for a fantastic day trip. Fun fact: the Lincoln National Forest is known as the birthplace of the world-famous Smokey Bear, the living symbol of the campaign to prevent forest fires.
Lake Carlsbad and the Pecos River: Paddleboards, kayaks, running trails – oh my! What doesn’t this rec area offer? There’s even a Riverwalk to enjoy the views of New Mexico on foot. Swimming and other nonmotorized water activities are permitted, too! So grab your sunscreen and get lost in New Mexico.
National Parks Near Carlsbad, New Mexico
Carlsbad Caverns National Parks is a major tourist draw, just 30 minutes southwest of Carlsbad on Highway 62/180. There are several self-guided and ranger-led tours to explore the awe-inspiring ancient caves formed when sulfuric acid dissolved the limestone. Actor and comedian Will Rogers was not exaggerating when he called the cavern "The Grand Canyon with a roof over it." While the actual caverns receive top-billing, surface hiking at Carlsbad Caverns National Park to experience the Guadalupe Mountains and the Chihuahuan Desert is scenic and rewarding.
Another popular draw for visitors is the bats. While the park hosts 17 different bat species, it is the large colony of migratory Brazilian free-tailed bats that wow visitors every evening from spring through fall with its spectacular outflights from the Natural Entrance. Although numbers fluctuate according to the time of year, the bats average around 400,000.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park, about an hour south of Carlsbad, protects the world's most extensive Permian fossil reef, high mountain peaks, an environmentally diverse collection of flora and fauna, and the stories of lives shaped through conflict, cooperation, and survival. Visitors revel in spectacular vistas featuring mountains, canyons, deserts, and dunes.
Thinking of moving to Carlsbad, where you can play as hard as you work? Carlsbad Department of Development (CDOD) can help with your housing search and relocation needs. You can schedule a tour with their staff to explore the newest housing developments. They supply some selected residential listings and a list of apartment communities. Explore their website to research all about Carlsbad’s work environment, recreation, and quality of life. Follow CDOC on Facebook and LinkedIn.

FOREIGNER: THE GREATEST HITS
With 10 multi-platinum albums and 16 Top 30 hits, FOREIGNER is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world with a formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel sold-out tours and album sales, now exceeding 80 million.
Responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems including “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Urgent,” “Head Games,” “Say You Will,” “Dirty White Boy,” “Long, Long Way From Home” and the worldwide #1 hit, “I Want To Know What Love Is,” FOREIGNER still rocks the charts more than 40 years into the game with massive airplay and continued Billboard Top 200 album success. Audio and video streams of FOREIGNER’s hits are approaching 15 million per week.
With more Top 10 songs than Journey and as many as Fleetwood Mac, FOREIGNER also features strongly in every category in Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time” listing. At times, the band’s weekly catalog sales have eclipsed those of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Aerosmith and most of their Classic Rock peers (Source: Nielsen SoundScan). FOREIGNER‘s catalog sales were recently celebrated in Business Insider as hitting the Top 40 among the Best Selling Music Artists of All Time.
Founded in 1976, FOREIGNER‘s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.” The album Double Vision followed, as did a string of hits including “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give FOREIGNER‘s next album, 4, its impressive run at #1 on the Billboard chart. At the zenith of 80’s sound, FOREIGNER‘s fifth album, Agent Provocateur, gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This musical milestone followed the record-breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You.”
FOREIGNER‘s founder is Songwriters Hall of Fame member Mick Jones. A visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks and multi-layered talents continue to escalate FOREIGNER‘s influence and guide the band to new horizons.
Jones reformed the band after a 2002 hiatus and selected lead singer Kelly Hansen to help write an inspired new chapter in the history of FOREIGNER. One of rock’s greatest showmen, Hansen is among the most respected, consummate professionals in rock and roll. With a 40-year career that spans almost every area of music, from the role of lead vocalist to producing and engineering, Hansen has led FOREIGNER into the digital age while inspiring a whole new generation of fans.
FOREIGNER’s lineup also includes noted Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein on keyboards, guitarist Bruce Watson, Chris Frazier on drums and guitarist Luis Carlos Maldonado. An unprecedented new level of energy led the group to a re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to FOREIGNER‘s enduring popularity.
With renewed vitality and direction, FOREIGNER hit the Billboard charts again with the 2005 release of their live Greatest Hits album, Extended Versions. Can’t Slow Down followed in 2009 and entered the Billboard chart in the Top 30, driven by two Top 20 radio singles, “In Pieces” and “When It Comes To Love.” To follow was the release of the band’s three-disc set, Feels Like The First Time, which included an acoustic CD with an intimate and unique re-interpretation of many FOREIGNER classics, studio re-records by the new lineup and a live performance DVD showcasing the group’s exceptional live energy.
FOREIGNER’s music experienced another surge in popularity in recent years thanks to usage in primetime television, major motion pictures, video games, advertising, and digital content. Films such as Rock of Ages, Bad Moms, Angry Birds, Magic Mike, Pitch Perfect, Good Boys and The Eternals, and television shows Orange Is The New Black, Stranger Things, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Tacoma FD have all strongly featured Foreigner’s songs. Advertisers including Toyota, Google, Molson, and Ford have turned to FOREIGNER’s music to engage their fans.
In May 2014, Atlantic Records Chairman Craig Kallman presented the band with RIAA gold and platinum digital awards for six FOREIGNER songs. These awards signify 500,000 and 1,000,000 downloads of FOREIGNER hits. That is more individual awards than any other heritage rock band, and an illustration of FOREIGNER’s resonance in the digital era.
In recent years, FOREIGNER has headlined several Live Nation tours, rocking across the country and the world with contemporaries and friends. In 2014, FOREIGNER headlined The Soundtrack of Summer US amphitheatre tour with Styx and Don Felder. A hits compilation album of the same name was released to coincide with the tour and immediately hit the Billboard Top 200 chart. In 2015, FOREIGNER joined Kid Rock on his “Cheap Date: First Kiss Tour.”
In October 2016, FOREIGNER hit a major milestone when the band performed for the very first time at New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall with a sold-out acoustic show. The concert highlighted the band’s ongoing relationship with the GRAMMY Museum’s initiative to promote music education in our nation’s schools. It included an a cappella contest among New York high schools who competed for a $5,000 prize donated by the band.
The year also brought the release of FOREIGNER‘s first ever live acoustic album In Concert: Unplugged, recorded at a once-in-a-lifetime private concert hosted by Edsel B. Ford II at the Ford Motor Company Conference & Event Center in Detroit, MI. The band’s royalties were donated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) and the album is available exclusively via Amazon.
The year 2017 marked the celebration of FOREIGNER‘s 40th anniversary. The Warner Music Group released a double CD set “40,” which includes 40 songs recorded between 1977 and 2017. The album spent several weeks on the Billboard Top 200 chart and it features two tracks recorded especially for this release, “Give My Life For Love” and a new version of “I Don’t Want To Live Without You.” The album spent nine weeks in the Billboard Top 200 chart. The US anniversary headline tour played 40 shows across the United States where the band was supported by Cheap Trick and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience.
In April 2018, FOREIGNER topped the Billboard Classic Album Charts for the first time with FOREIGNER WITH THE 21ST CENTURY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA & CHORUS, a live recording of FOREIGNER’s first-ever orchestral shows in Lucerne, Switzerland. The band went on to headline orchestral shows in the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand throughout the year including sold-out appearances at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the iconic Sydney Opera House. In the summer of 2018, FOREIGNER starred in a thirty city Live Nation US summer tour with Whitesnake and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening in support.
The excitement continued in 2019 with the premiere of Juke Box Hero, the Musical in Canada. Following a series of sold-out workshops in Alberta and Calgary, the musical premiered in Toronto in February and a Broadway run is on the horizon.
The November 2019 release of Double Vision: Then & Now is a DVD/CD package that celebrates the 40th anniversary of the iconic album. It features a stunning reunion concert that brings together the current and original band members playing all the hits at the top of their game.
2020 kicked off with a three-day run at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra in mid January. Another highlight was a sold out January/February residency at The Venetian, Las Vegas. The Covid-19 nightmare forced the band to postpone almost a hundred shows all over the world including a sold out show with Whitesnake at the 18,000 seat London 02 Arena.
The Covid impact on the live concert business continued through much of 2021, although by careful observation of health protocols, Foreigner was able to execute a limited, but highly successful touring schedule breaking box office records in many markets. Following spectacular shows at LA’s Greek Theater and the Santa Barbara Bowl, the band embarked on a run of theater and major casino dates and other special events. These included appearances at Detroit’s Fox Theatre and the Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City. Another highlight was an appearance at the Annual Gala of the American Turkish Society, which celebrated the life of Mick Jones’ and Foreigner’s guiding light at Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun. The year culminated with FOREIGNER’S appearance at the spectacular Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
2022 commenced with a three-week residency at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas and the rescheduled co-headline UK tour with Whitesnake, and solo headline shows across Europe. The year continued with an exciting schedule of headline appearances that included the New York State Fair, where Foreigner’s 38,888 plus audience broke the Classic Rock attendance record, and a run of sold-out amphitheater shows with Kid Rock. In the fall, Foreigner returned to international touring with sold out shows in France, Holland, Israel, and South Africa.
FOREIGNER announced the beginning of their Farewell Tour on national television on November 14th. The tour will commence on July 6th, 2023 in Alpharetta, GA and we expect that it will take two years or so to complete. The goal is to get to all the cities that the band has played since its reformation in 2004.

CAIR Asks Judge to Throw Out Radio Host's 'Baseless' Lawsuit
Muslim Group Files Motion, Answer to Michael Savage in Federal District Court
***This press release is from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and EFF is distributing it on its behalf***
Washington, D.C. - Washington, D.C. - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today asked a federal judge in California to throw out what it termed a "baseless" lawsuit by syndicated radio talk show host Michael Savage.
Late last year, Savage sued CAIR for copyright infringement after the Washington-based civil rights and advocacy organization posted brief audio clips from his October 29, 2007, program on its website.
In those clips, Savage, whose "The Savage Nation" program airs on more than 300 radio stations nationwide, screamed attacks on Muslims, Islam and the Quran. CAIR called on radio listeners of all faiths to contact companies that advertise on Savage's program to express their concerns about the host's anti-Muslim bigotry.
A community and interfaith coalition, called Hate Hurts America, was also formed in response to Savage's rhetorical attacks on Muslims and Islam.
CAIR filed an answer to Savage's suit as well as a motion for judgment on the pleadings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. A hearing is set for March 7, 2008 in that court.
In its motion, CAIR stated, in part:
"Viewed in its entirety, Savage's Complaint is simply a camouflaged defamation or disparagement claim dressed as bogus copyright and RICO claims...Savage's legal broadside specifically targets CAIR as a civil rights organization and its core political speech responding to and criticizing Savage's inflammatory political rhetoric. As the nation's largest civil rights organization for Muslims, CAIR appropriately characterized Savage's own words as an 'Anti-Muslim Tirade' and publicly communicated a detailed response as part of its advocacy work."
"Michael Savage's frivolous and baseless lawsuit is a direct attack on First Amendment freedoms and on any citizen's right to comment on public issues," said CAIR Legal Counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili. "His suit is an abuse of the judicial system and a transparent attempt to punish those who challenge his hate-filled rhetoric."
She added that CAIR's public criticism of Savage's remarks is clearly protected by both the First Amendment and copyright law.
CAIR is represented in this case by the law firms Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN MECHANISM MADE EASY
One of a series of Second World War booklets on weapons intended for the training of recruits, this treatise is dedicated to the venerable military type Thompson .45 calibre submachine gun. This model (M1928) had provisions for box and drum magazines. It had a Cutts compensator, cooling fins on the barrel, employed a delayed blowback action and its charging handle was on the top of the receiver. The booklet describes the correct loading and unloading of the gun; the action of the firing mechanism; the magazines; the action of gases and the cooling system and notes on how to deal with jams and stoppages.
THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN MECHANISM MADE EASY quantity
The Thompson was used in World War II in the hands of Allied troops as a weapon for scouts, non-commissioned officers (corporal, sergeant, and higher), and patrol leaders, as well as commissioned officers, tank crewmen, and soldiers performing raids on German positions. In the European theatre, the gun was widely utilised in British and Canadian commando units, as well as in the U.S. Army paratrooper and Ranger battalions, where it was issued more frequently than in line infantry units because of its high rate of fire and its stopping power, which made it very effective in the kinds of close combat these special operations troops were expected to undertake. Military Police were fond of it, as were paratroopers, who “borrowed” Thompsons from members of mortar squads for use on patrols behind enemy lines.[The gun was prized by those lucky enough to get one and proved itself in the close street fighting that was encountered frequently during the invasion of France. Through Lend-Lease, the Soviet Union also received the Thompson, but due to a shortage of appropriate ammunition, its use was not widespread.
The Thompson submachine gun was also known informally as the “Tommy Gun”, “Street Sweeper”, “Annihilator”, “Chicago Typewriter”, “Trench Broom”, “Chicago Submachine”, “Chicago Piano”, “Chicago Style”, “Chicago Organ Grinder”, “Drum Gun”, “the Chopper”, “the Tommy Boy” or simply “the Thompson”.,and is one of the most well known and recognised firearms in history.

The Security Risks of a Trade War with China

Trade tensions between the United States and China continue to rise. In June, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration announced that it would impose tariffs of 25 percent on $50 billion worth of Chinese exports, with the first wave targeting some 800 goods worth $34 billion. China pushed back with its own set of tariffs targeting the U.S. agricultural sector and industrial heartland. In response, Trump has reportedly ordered his administration to consider a 25 percent tariff on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese exports. As the showdown escalates, many observers are understandably focused on the potential for a full-fledged trade war that could destabilize the world economy. But they should also consider second-order, longer-term implications—in the security realm. Up until recently, the two nations' economic ties had served as an effective brake on escalating strategic distrust. A China less constrained by and invested in economic ties with the United States could pose a substantially greater challenge to U.S. foreign policy. For all the Trump administration's frustrations with managing interdependence, the consequences of decoupling could mean even bigger headaches.
The Roots of Trade Tensions
The United States buys more exports of Chinese goods than any other country. China, meanwhile, is the United States' largest trading partner and the fastest-growing market for its exports. Yet neither side considers these deep, multifaceted trade links an unalloyed plus.
Trump often expresses irritation over the size of the U.S. trade deficit with China...

Cowichan Sweater
The Cowichan sweater is a garment created in North America with a distinctly patterned design knitted out of bulky-weighted yarn. It originated during the late 19th century among the Cowichan, a Coast Salish people in British Columbia. Historically also called the Indian sweater or Siwash sweater (a derogatory Chinook word for Indigenous people), the Cowichan people reclaimed the name after the 1950s as a means of emphasizing their claim to the garment. The popularity of the sweater by the mid-1900s thrust Cowichan sweaters into the world of international fashion, where they have been appropriated by non-Indigenous designers. Nevertheless, several knitters from various Coast Salish communities around Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia continue to create and sell authentic sweaters. In 2011, the Canadian government recognized Cowichan knitters and sweaters as nationally and historically significant.

Wells Fargo Advisors Pays $7 Million for SEC Anti-Money Laundering Violations
May 20, 2022 9:23 pm Views:
Washington D.C., May 20, 2022 —
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against Wells Fargo Advisors for failing to file at least 34 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) in a timely manner between April 2017 and October 2021. Wells Fargo Advisors, the St. Louis-based broker-dealer, has agreed to pay $7 million to settle the charges.
According to the SEC’s order, due to Wells Fargo Advisors’ deficient implementation and failure to test a new version of its internal anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring and alert system adopted in January 2019, the system failed to reconcile the different country codes used to monitor foreign wire transfers. As a result, Wells Fargo Advisors did not timely file at least 25 SARs related to suspicious transactions in its customers’ brokerage accounts involving wire transfers to or from foreign countries that it determined to be at a high or moderate risk for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal money movements. The order also found that, beginning in April 2017, Wells Fargo Advisors failed to timely file at least nine additional SARs due to a failure to appropriately process wire transfer data into its AML transaction monitoring system in certain other situations.
“When SEC registrants like Wells Fargo Advisors fail to comply with their AML obligations, they put the investing public at risk because they deprive regulators of timely information about possible money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal money movements,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “Through this enforcement action, we are not only holding Wells Fargo Advisors accountable, but also sending a loud and clear message to other registrants that AML obligations are sacrosanct.”
Broker-dealers are required by the Bank Secrecy Act and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to file SARs for transactions they suspect involve fraud or a lack of an apparent lawful business purpose. This is the second Bank Secrecy Act action against Wells Fargo Advisors in the last five years. In November 2017, the SEC issued a settled order against Wells Fargo Advisors for failing to timely file at least 50 SARs.
The SEC’s order finds that Wells Fargo Advisors, which is the trade name used by Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and investment adviser subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 17a-8. In addition to the $7 million penalty, Wells Fargo Advisors, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, agreed to a censure and a cease and desist order.

15Nt Venice City Stay Italy Croatia
Catania is an ancient port city on Sicily's east coast. It is the second largest city in Sicily with the metropolitan area reaching one million inhabitants, a major transport hub, economic centre and a university city where you will enjoy a busy downtown and an active nightlife. It is also well known for its particular baroque architecture and urban design (the downtown area is a World Heritage Site, along with all the Val di Noto), consequences of the great earthquake of 1693 after which the city had to be rebuilt, like most of eastern Sicily. Catania has had a long and eventful history, having been founded in the 8th century BC. In 1434, the first university in Sicily was founded in the city. In the 14th century and into the Renaissance period, Catania was one of Italy's most important cultural, artistic and political centres. The city has a rich culture and history, hosting many museums, restaurants, churches, parks and theatres. Catania is well known for its street food.
Zadar is a city in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. It is the centre of Zadar county and the wider northern Dalmatian region. Zadar faces the islands of Ugljan and Pašman, from which it is separated by the narrow Zadar Strait. The promontory on which the old city stands used to be separated from the mainland by a deep moat which has since become a landfill. The harbor, to the north-east of the town, is safe and spacious. Zadar is the seat of a Catholic archbishop.
Split is the largest Dalmatian city, the second-largest urban centre in Croatia, and the seat of Split-Dalmatia County. The city is located on the shores of the Mediterranean, more specifically on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, spreading over a central peninsula and its surroundings, with its metropolitan area including the many surrounding seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub, the city is a link to the numerous surrounding Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula, as well as a popular tourist destination. Split is also one of the oldest cities in the area, and is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old, while archaeological research relating to the ancient Greek colony of Aspálathos establishes the city as being several hundred years older.

Skagway is a first-class borough in Alaska on the Alaska Panhandle. The port of Skagway is a popular stop for cruise ships, and the tourist trade is a big part of the business of Skagway. The White Pass and Yukon Route narrow gauge railroad, part of the area's mining past, is now in operation purely for the tourist trade and runs throughout the summer months. Skagway is also part of the setting for Jack London's book The Call of the Wild and for Joe Haldeman's novel Guardian.
The City and Borough of Juneau is a unified municipality located on the Gastineau Channel in the panhandle of the U.S. state of Alaska. It has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of the then-District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. Juneau is home to Perseverance Theatre, Alaska's only professional theater. The city hosts the annual Alaska Folk Festival and Juneau Jazz & Classics music festivals, and the biennial Celebration. The Juneau Symphony performs regularly. Downtown Juneau boasts dozens of art galleries, which participate in the monthly First Friday Gallery Walk and the enormously popular December Gallery Walk held in the first week of December. The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council coordinates events while fund-raising, distributing some grant money, and operating a gallery at its office in the Juneau Arts & Culture Center, 350 Whittier Street. On summer Friday evenings open-air music and dance performances are held at Marine Park.
Vancouver is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Classed as a Beta global city, the city is well known for its majestic natural beauty, as it is nestled between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently ranked as one of the "best cities to live in" and is certainly a beautiful destination to visit.
Ketchikan is an Alaskan city facing the Inside Passage, a popular cruise route along the state's southeastern coast. The city is named after Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the town, emptying into the Tongass Narrows a short distance southeast of its downtown. Civic boosters have dubbed the community the "Salmon Capital of the World". The Misty Fiords National Monument is one of the area's major attractions, and the Tongass National Forest has long been headquartered in Ketchikan, mostly in the city's historic Federal Building.

Cartier's global operations
The famed watch and jewelry House of Cartier, one of the classiest brands in the industry, can trace its origins back to 1847, when Louis-Francois Cartier opened a small jewelry store in Paris. Over the years, the brand has evolved to become the official jeweler of the Royal courts of England, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt, Albania, Monaco and France\'s House of Orleans. Today, it is the preferred brand for royalty, celebrities, and social elite worldwide.
Louis-Francois did not limit himself to the production and sale of traditional jewelry. He expanded his stock to include ivory products, fans, Wedgwood and Sevres porcelain, Christofle silver and watches. Cartier is credited with introducing the first practical wristwatch, the Santos, in 1904. The company was listed as a public company in 1998, when main Vendome shareholder Richemont offered to buy out Vendome\'s minority shareholder. Cartier is led by Allain Dominique Perrin, chief architect of the company\'s development for nearly 20 years. Another well known personality in the Cartier establishment is Micheline Kanoui, the company\'s lead designer and wife to Joseph Kanoui, chairman of the Vendome group.
In the early 1900s, Cartier expanded from its Paris base into London, New York and eventually Russia and the United States. In 1972, a group of investors organized the purchase and eventual reunion of Cartier Paris, New York and London. Today, it is a global powerhouse, operating in more than 200 stores across 125 countries. The company designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of jewelry, timepieces, leather goods and accessories. The team is presently lead by the President and CEO Bernard Fornas.
An undisputable reference in the realm of luxury, Cartier occupies a unique position in the world of jewelry which carries with it a responsibility to act as a role model within the industry. The brand has always shown the greatest resolve to merit trust through responsible purchasing, fabrication and retailing. Now the policy has been formalized as a commitment in the Corporate Responsibility policy. This policy, consistent with the objectives of the RJC (Responsible Jewelry Council),applies to all product lines, activities and supplier practices. Cartier works in close collaboration with its suppliers to encourage their participation and help them comply with its requirements; It continues to invite other industry players to join the movement.
An example of this social responsibility is the company policy since 2009 to not source diamonds from Marange, Zimbabwe in the light of several human rights violations, occurring in these diamond fields. Cartier has also established \'The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie\' to promote and develop the art and expertise of technical and precious fine watch making around the world.
[...] In 2011, Cartier and Richemont had community donations worth €18 million (2009: €20 million). It's flagship society responsibility brand stood as Cartier Fondation pour l'Art Contemporain (Richemont CSR Report, 2011). ➢ Environment: Further, increase in global warming and carbon footprint initiated importance of environment and reduction of energy consumption on corporate level (Votaw, 1972). Reduction of energy and water expenses is the core environment friendly responsibility of Cartier and Richemont (Richemont CSR Report, 2011). Although, the company has negligible reduction and quantitative analysis for the contribution to the larger environment stakeholders. [...]
[...] Cartier has launched three new jewellery and watch collections worldwide (Tank Anglaise, Juste un clou, 'L'Odyssee de Cartier). In past 18-24 months, the company has aggressively focusing on reducing dependency on Chinese luxury marketspace via acquisition of high street retail selling space in France and United States along with new collections of jewellery business activity in Hong Kong. In 2012, the company plans to organically expand in United States and Middle East on long-term basis. Further, it has been horizontally diversifying its watch and jewellery brand portfolio to improve customer segmentation and retention rates. [...]
[...] It is further expected to increase in the next few years. (Datamonitor, 2012). Peer Benchmarking & Future Outlook LVMH, Burberry, Ralph Polo and Gucci Group are the closest publicly listed competitors for Richemont worldwide. Although David Yurman, Roberto Coin etc are the core competitors for Cartier they are neglected due to narrow scope of research (Verdict Research, 2012). The average operating margin across the top 10 luxury players in 2010/11 rose by 3.8 percentage points from the previous year, as all top 10 luxury companies generated stronger operating performance. [...]
[...] Cartier has been aggressively horizontally integrating its core and non core business activities via unique collection launches for past 4-5 years. The traditional and new collections launched in past few years stood as Happy Birthday, Trinity de Cartier, LOVE, Calibre de Cartier, TANK, Pasha de Cartier etc. Further, the company has been primarily focusing on emerging markets with new launches in India and China. ➢ Promotional: Social media and online display advertising are the core promotional platforms for Cartier in United States and other markets worldwide. [...]
[...] This accounted for of total group revenues in 2010-2011. In Middle East, Cartier was the second largest advertising spender after Rolex in the luxury watch marketspace. Further, Cartier was the sixth leading marketer and advertiser in United States with annual spending of US$16 million (2010- 2011). The company has been aggressively focusing on online and social media centric video promotional platforms in United States and other matured luxury marketspaces in past 12 months. The core marketing and promotional strategic initiatives stood as follows: ➢ Product: The Company has niche vertically diversified product portfolio encompassing luxury jewellery and watches (GlobalData, 2012).

Monitoring Biodiversity in the Verde Island Passage
July 16, 2015 Science, Health, and Technology
The ocean has been a source of livelihood, scientific discoveries, and wonder for numerous generations. However, pressures from unrestricted human activities is posing a continued threat to the delicate ecological network. Understanding the interconnection between the ecosystem, the thousands of species living within it, and human activities can further efforts towards, ultimately, preserving this finite resource.
Last May 19 to June 4, De La Salle University and its partner institutions retrieved 30 Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS), which were deployed in 2012 at the Verde Island Passage.
Situated between the provinces of Batangas, Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Romblon, the Verde Island Passage spans more than 1.14 million hectares and is deemed as the “center of the center” of marine biodiversity in the world. The passage is home to 1,736 species of marine species and has one of the largest concentrations of coral in the world.
The ARMS units used in the three year underwater study are meant to aid in the understanding of coral reef building in the marine ecosystem, mimic complex coral reef structures, and allow organisms to thrive in the makeshift reef.
The ARMS Project team (Top L-R): Aaron Heartmann, Shannon Boyle, Max Sudnovsky, Mark Little, Rusty Brainard, Chris Meyer, & Aji Wahyu (Middle L-R): Jeanette Clark, Emma Ransome, Molly Timmers, Criselda Castor, Patrick Cordillo, & Yuli Syamsuni (Bottom L-R): Karen Perez, Sarahmae Buen, Lea Avilla, Andrianus Sembiring, Don Dumale, Marivene Santos, & Aleta Nunez.
DLSU’s partner institutions include the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the Philippine National Museum of Natural History, the University of the Philippines – Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI), the American government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Smithsonian Institute, United States Agency International Development (USAID), and the Indonesian Biodiversity Research Center (IBRC).
Using Anilao, Batangas as a center of operations, the retrieval team, composed of representatives from each of the partner institutions, retrieved one to four ARMS units per day. The units were disassembled and photographed with water and organism samples present in individual units delivered to DLSU’s Molecular Biology Unit for laboratory processing.
Headed by Dr. Ma. Carmen Ablan-Lagman of the biology department, extensive laboratory work consisting of decantation of sediment samples, DNA extractions, and metabolomics processing were applied to the collected material with the Philippine National Museum responsible for curating the collection of the sessile and motile samples for preservation and addition to the marine database of the Philippines. Tissues samples were also sent to the Smithsonian Institution for the further analysis.
The ARMS project is organized by the United States of America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Smithsonian Institute, and the United States Agency International Development (USAID).

Celebrated Mexican author Carlos Fuentes dies
He was, and will always be, a literary master.
On May 15th, 2012 in Mexico City, Mexican author and recipient of countless awards Carlos Fuentes died. Fuentes was one of the foremost representatives of the Latin American literary “boom.” When his novel La region mas transparente was first published on April 7th, 1958, public and critics alike established they had encountered a work that would leave an indelible impression in Mexican and world literature.
Carlos Fuentes wrote it all and said it all. He brought his readers into his narrative world even as he charted it. With the passing of time, the topography of this map—known as “La edad del tiempo” (The Age of Time)—changed, and its boundaries expanded until the inclusion of his last novel Federico en su balcon, soon to be published by his editorial house Alfaguara.
Carlos Fuentes’s work was not solely narrative; his oeuvre includes essays as well. In May of this year, Taurus will publish El siglo que despierta, a series of conversations between Carlos Fuentes and Ricardo Lagos; and in June, Alfaguara will publish Personas, an “inventory” of figures relevant to Mexico and the world—and to Fuentes himself.
Carlos Fuentes was born in 1928. A renowned intellectual and one of the foremost exponents of Mexican narrative, his vast body of work includes novels, short stories, plays, and essays. He was the recipient of numerous awards, among them: The Miguel de Cervantes Prize, 1987; the Ruben Dario Cultural Independence Order, granted by the Sandinista Government, 1988; the Instituto Italo-Americano Prize for Gringo viejo, 1989; the Principe de Asturias Award of Spain, 1994; Italy’s Cavour Award, 1994; UNESCO’s Picasso Medal, France, 1994; France’s Legion of Honor Award, 2003; the Roger Caillois Award, 2003; the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language Prize for En esto creo, 2004; the Cristobal Gabarron Foundation’s International Literature Prize, 2011, and the Formentor Literature Prize, 2011.

Roman Catholic mass
Dona Nobis Pacem: Six Musical Invocations of Peace
November 16, 2015 November 16, 2015 by Timothy Judd
The phrase Dona nobis pacem (“Grant us Peace”) comes from the Agnus Dei section of the Roman Catholic mass. It’s a simple, yet eternally powerful, invocation which has come to life in countless musical settings, from the serene simplicity of the traditional canon to the melodic perfection of Schubert’s Mass No. 6 in E-flat Major. At the end of Franz Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, it emerges as a triumphant celebration. In the twentieth century, it becomes a joyfully exuberant dance in Leonard Bernstein’s Missa Brevis and a mysterious, meditative prayer in this 1996 setting by Estonian composer Peteris Vasks.
Here are six additional musical invocations of peace:
Bach’s Mass in B minor
J.S. Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor concludes with this powerful setting of Dona nobis pacem. Bach’s music transcends the quiet, meditative prayer we might expect. Instead, it’s a soaring, almost defiant musical statement. As it develops, reaching increasingly higher, we hear a single musical subject appear in one voice and then another. This persistent musical line seems to be communicating a message which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent.
Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis
Dona nobis pacem appears in the final movement of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. In the score Beethoven wrote the words, “Prayer for inner and outer peace.” In the spirit of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (written a year after the completion of Missa Solemnis), this is music which seems to be trying to wrap its arms around the universe. You’ll hear sudden, earth-shattering changes of direction and the occasional martial sounds of drums and bugles. This excerpt gives us a sense of Missa Solemnis’ vast, cathedral-like musical architecture; but as the work nears an end, it melts into something more intimate and contemplative. (Listen to the joyful, sparkling string and woodwind lines and the quietly contented passages which follow here).
Venus, the Bringer of Peace
Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets begins with Mars, the Bringer of War, a demonic, mechanical march locked into the irregular meter of 5/4 time. But the movement which follows evokes the serene peace of Venus. Opening with a solo horn line, Venus, the Bringer of Peace draws us into its colorful, placid, almost static world. As the movement ends, a momentary hint of something dark and ominous gives way to sparkling bells and innocent woodwind voices.
Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem
Ralph Vaughan Williams’ cantata, Dona nobis pacem was written in 1936 as a new World War loomed on the horizon. Its text alternates between the traditional Roman Catholic Mass and other biblical excerpts and poems of Walt Whitman: Beat! Beat! Drums!, Reconciliation (below), and Dirge for Two Veterans.
Word over all, beautiful as the sky,Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost,That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly softly wash again
and ever again, this soiled world;
For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead,I look where he lies white-faced and still in the coffin – I draw near,Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.
At moments, Vaughan Williams’ music suggests the trumpet calls and drums of battle. A solemn, numb funeral dirge trudges on. Half way through, the words, “Dona nobis pacem” become an ear-splitting shriek of pain. But throughout the cantata, we also hear exuberant splashes of color and some of the most lushly beautiful music imaginable…the sonic equivalent of England’s “green and pleasant” countryside.
(Vaughan Williams’ Dona nobis pacem ends at the 33:30 mark, below).
Honegger’s Symphonie Liturgique
Written in the aftermath of the Second World War, Swiss composer Arthur Honegger’s Symphony No. 3 “Symphonie Liturgique” can be heard as a wordless mass. Here is the final movement, which concludes with a reference to Dona nobis pacem. At moments, the music suggests the roaring steam of Honegger’s locomotive-inspired Pacific 231. In its final moments, as earlier conflict fades, the music enters a colorful and mysterious new world, seeming to fade into eternity:
Fauré’s Requiem
And what better way to finish than with the sparkling, childlike innocence of In paradisum, the final movement of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem:

Talulah Riley Upgraded to Series Regular for Westworld Season 2
By Spencer Perry
Since the show made a huge splash last summer, things have been all quiet on the Westworld front. It’s no surprise really, since it’s not expected to return until 2018. Now, EW brings word that actress Talulah Riley, who played the role of Angela in the first season and appeared in six of the show’s ten episodes, has been upgraded from recurring star to a series regular for the second season.
In the series, Angela started out as one of the hosts that first greeted guests to the park and walked them through the whole process of it all. Later on, however, we see that the park’s creator Robert Ford reassigned her to being one of the lackeys for the mysterious “Wyatt.”
EW notes the character started as “a host whose beatific face welcomed guests to Westworld for decades … Angela will prove to be one of the last faces many guests will ever see.”
Westworld stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, James Marsden, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton, Evan Rachel Wood, Tessa Thompson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Simon Quarterman, Angela Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth and Clifton Collins, Jr.
The series is inspired by the motion picture Westworld, written and directed by Michael Crichton. Westworld is produced by Bad Robot Productions, Jerry Weintraub Productions and Kilter Films in association with Warner Bros. Television. The series is executive produced, written and directed by Jonathan Nolan, executive produced and written by Lisa Joy, and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub, Bryan Burk.

A chronique scandaleuse of imperialism in Haiti

The powerful earthquake that struck Haiti on Aug. 14, 2021, followed a long series of natural and human-caused disasters to rock the country. Unfortunately, if history offers any clues, earthquake relief efforts will be complicated by the nation’s recent political unrest.
President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated less than six weeks earlier, on July 7. Many Haitians felt hatred for the controversial president who, while running for office, was bribed by the oligarchy that has run Haiti’s economy since the 19th century.
Moïse campaigned on a promise to feed the starving population. But he failed to ensure a fairer distribution of wealth. He soon became an unpopular president who increasingly ruled as an autocrat.
As a sociology professor who has written extensively on Haitian politics, I predicted Moïse’s assassination.
That’s because Moïse remained defiant in the face of mass protests in 2019, refusing to heed calls for his resignation amid fuel shortages and spiraling inflation.
There was also a palpable split between Moïse and powerful business magnates as the country’s economic crisis worsened.
Presidential assassinations in Haiti
Moïse is the latest of five Haitian presidents to be killed in office since the country’s founding in 1804.
Power struggles and strong economic interests, both local and with other nations – mainly the United States – have motivated those assassinations. Throughout Haitian history, the U.S. has been actively engaged in undermining the legitimacy of Haitian leaders who refused to bow to American imperialism.
Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Haiti’s founding father, proclaimed the country’s independence from France on Jan. 1, 1804, after a 12-year war.
One of his first executive orders was intended to prevent the abuse of land ownership. It called for a fair distribution of land among racial groups in a country that had won independence because of strategic alliances among Blacks, biracial people and a few white soldiers.
Dessalines is often portrayed by mainstream media as a cannibal and assassin. That’s because he was abhorred by white Europeans and Americans – leaders of the global economic system who were intimidated by the Haitian Revolution.
Additionally, the elites in Dessalines’ circle disapproved of the power he had concentrated, and they assassinated him on Oct. 17, 1806.
His death accelerated Haiti’s political disintegration.

The Monroe Doctrine and political assassinations
The 30 billion euros in today’s currency that Haitian President Jean-Pierre Boyer agreed to pay France in 1825 as compensation for property losses during the war has destabilized the country.
It has also allowed foreign powers to undermine Haiti’s sovereignty.
In 1823, the U.S. passed the Monroe Doctrine, which says “that the American continents … are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” The declaration, meant to keep Europe out of the continent, has justified U.S. interventions in the region.
Between 1889 and 1891, the U.S. unsuccessfully negotiated with Haiti to acquire the Môle St. Nicholas port, which would have given it a military foothold in the Caribbean.
More than 20 years later, the murder of President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam offered the U.S. the perfect rationale to invade Haiti.
On same day as Sam’s assassination, July 28, 1915, Woodrow Wilson authorized the American warship USS Washington to invade Haiti. The U.S. occupied Haiti until 1934.
During that occupation, U.S. officials altered Haiti’s Constitution to allow foreigners to become landowners. That change also gave the U.S. control of Haiti’s customs agency and finances.
Racial discrimination and segregation were the norm in the U.S. South at the time, and most U.S. Marines sent to Haiti were Southerners, accustomed to Jim Crow.
This Southern influence among U.S. Marines played a big role in Haitian history. During the occupation, the U.S. picked only light-skinned Haitians to serve as presidents. And after 19 years in the country, the U.S. left behind a racially divided society that remains intact today.
US-trained army
The U.S. also trained the Haitian military ideologically to defend U.S. interests. These forces eventually engineered many coups against Haitian leaders who were popular with locals but rejected by the U.S.
Between 1946 and 1950, under the presidency of Dumarsais Estimé, Haiti enjoyed political and social stability. However, on May 10, 1950, Paul-Eugène Magloire, trained during the U.S. occupation, overthrew Estimé and changed Haiti’s political trajectory.
Magloire established a corrupt political regime. Then the army provided support for U.S.-backed François “Papa Doc” Duvalier, from his presidential election in 1957 to the establishment in 1959 of his dictatorship.
In 1959, Duvalier created the Tontons Macoutes, a paramilitary group trained by U.S. Marines that killed more than 60,000 Haitians. The Duvalier regime, led by Papa Doc’s son Jean-Claude after his death in 1971, lasted until 1986.
The Aristide era
Between 1991 and 2004, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide – who won over Haitians with his anti-imperialism – was overthrown twice by the Haitian military.
On Sept. 29, 1991, the army, with CIA help, removed Aristide from power for his nationalistic views, and for his attempts to hold accountable powerful business leaders with strong ties to Washington.
On Oct. 15, 1994, amid huge protests, the Bill Clinton administration restored Aristide to power, after Washington coerced him to sign l’Accord de Paris, an agreement to reinforce the implementation of market-oriented reform policies in Haiti that reduced local influence over the economy.
Aristide was forced to privatize social services and public institutions, and he had to facilitate the entry of foreign agricultural goods into the Haitian market. These moves undermined the economy and compromised Haiti’s social development.
In 2000, Aristide again won the presidency. But a February 2004 coup, engineered by Washington and Paris, overthrew him once more.
Under foreign influence, Haitian politicians have been unable to develop a stable society for their fellow citizens. Because of their lack of vision and their erroneous conception of political power, they have given powerful transnational forces the opportunity to shape Haiti’s political leadership.
Both Democratic and Republican U.S. politicians have imposed on Haitian society a political leadership supportive of U.S. interests but noxious for any nation-building project on the Caribbean island.

Taiwan is world-renowned for its technology development, manufacturing, and operation ability. In the third quarter of 2022, the amount of export orders was 169.8 billion U.S. dollars, an decrease of 1.926 billion U.S. dollars over the same period last year, an annual decrease of 1.12%. The semi-conductor market share reached 26% in 2021; the productivity of the wafer foundry is the top of the world, accounting for 70% market share. IC package productivity is also number 1 in the world, accounting for about 20% market share. Therefore, Taiwan’s technology industry strength is in a leading position globally. 50% of overseas investment is concentrated in Taipei City, with nearly 70% of foreign companies based here. In addition, newly-emerging industries such as the biotechnology; service; cultural and creative; and meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) industries have developed rapidly in recent years, receiving a lot of attention and positive recognition in international markets.

China’s Pearl River suffers from “almost impossible to remove” pollution
A new study by Greenpeace has found high volumes of heavy metals and organic chemicals in China’s Pearl River, which provides drinking water for 47 million people.
In June 2009, Greenpeace took 25 samples from manufacturing facilities’ discharge points into the river. They found heavy metals like beryllium, a know carcinogen; manganese which has been linked to brain damage; alkyl phenols which disrupts hormones; and a number of hazardous organic chemicals.
“What is very disturbing is that once released, it is almost impossible to remove these hazardous substances from the environment. These substances, which are associated with a long list of health problems such as cancer, endocrine disruption, kidney failure and impact to the nervous system, pollute the environment and put people’s health at risk,” said Dr. Kevin Brigden, scientist at the Greenpeace Research Laboratories, University of Exeter.
While many of the hazardous pollutants found in the river are not regulated by China, samples from the discharge sites of Kingboard Fogang facility contained beryllium at 25 times the levels allowed by local Chinese regulation, while samples from Wing Fung Printed Circuit Board Ltd. contained 12 times the level of allowed copper. Both companies produce printed circuit boards for the global market.
Water pollution is rampant in China: in 2007 the Ministry of Water Resources announced that 60 percent of China’s waterways are polluted.
The Yangtze River may have lost another inhabitant: the Chinese paddlefish
(10/22/2009) In December of 2006 it was announced that the Yangtze River dolphin, commonly known as the baiji, had succumbed to extinction. The dolphin had survived on earth for 20 million years, but the species couldn’t survive the combined onslaught of pollution, habitat loss, boat traffic, entanglement in fishing hooks, death from illegal electric fishing, and the construction of several massive dams. Now, another flagship species of the Yangtze River appears to have vanished.
Major Chinese Lead Smelter Admits Fault in Poisoning, Environmental Contamination
(10/17/2009) The largest lead smelting company in China has recently admitted responsibility in contributing to pollution leading to poisoning in almost 1,000 children residing near lead factories. Out of 2,743 children tested for lead poisoning, 968 were determined to have excessive lead levels in their blood. Lead poisoning causes anemia, brain damage, and muscle atrophy, among other serious medical and environmental problems. Lead levels in blood samples from the children were 5 times higher than safe limits.

Fisk University Greek Letter Organizations
The Office of Student Engagement oversees all activities related to the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Greek Letter Organizations. The fraternities and sororities at Fisk University promote a balance of academics, leadership, community service/philanthropy, and social events. Members of Greek organizations are expected to maintain high grades, to volunteer in the local community, and to get involved and be leaders in other campus organizations. Membership in a Greek organization is a lifetime commitment and in return members can expect to make lasting memories and lifelong brothers and sisters.

"Alpha Phi Alpha develops leaders, promotes brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities."
Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African American Men, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy.
The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha's principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity.
Alpha Phi Alpha chapters were established at other colleges and universities, many of them historically black institutions, soon after the founding at Cornell. While continuing to stress academic excellence among its members, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha has long stood at the forefront of the African-American community's fight for civil rights through leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Edward Brooke, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, William Gray, Paul Robeson, and many others. At Fisk--DuBois has a statue on the campus, and the library is named after John Hope Franklin.
Since its founding on December 4, 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world.

Kappa Alpha Psi, a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the country, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders Elder Watson Diggs; John Milton Lee; Byron K. Armstrong; Guy Levis Grant; Ezra D. Alexander; Henry T. Asher; Marcus P. Blakemore; Paul W. Caine; Edward G. Irvin and George W. Edmonds.
It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which KAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Constitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of KAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity.
Chartered and incorporated originally under the laws of the State of Indiana as Kappa Alpha Nu on May 15, 1911, the name was changed to KAPPA ALPHA PSI on a resolution offered and adopted at the Grand Chapter in December 1914. This change became effective April 15, 1915, on a proclamation by the then Grand Polemarch, Elder Watson Diggs. Thus, the name acquired a distinctive Greek letter symbol and KAPPA ALPHA PSI thereby became a Greek letter Fraternity in every sense of the designation.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
Founding Date: October 10, 1927

Chapter Name: Alpha Gamma
Advisors: Mr. Allen Thurman, Dr. Emmanuel Rowe
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C., January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The Founders, Honorable A. Langston Taylor, Honorable Leonard F. Morse, and Honorable Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would truly exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.
The Founders deeply wished to create an organization that viewed itself as “a part of” the general community rather than “apart from” the general community. They believed that each potential member should be judged by his own merits, rather than his family background or affluence…without regard to race, nationality, skin tone, or texture of hair. They desired for their fraternity to exist as part of an even greater brotherhood which would be devoted to the “inclusive we” rather than the “exclusive we”.

The five founders, Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Pearl Anna Neal, Myrtle Tyler Faithful, Viola Tyler Goings and Fannie Pettie Watts, were encouraged by the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated. to form the organization as sister sorority to the fraternity. Zeta Phi Beta and Phi Beta Sigma are the first and only constitutionally bound organizations.

5G Network Infrastructure Market Could Reach $4.2 Billion This Year
Palm Beach, FL – February 5, 2020 – A recent report from industry insider Gartner said the worldwide market will spike in value as businesses gear up in preparation of 5G rollouts. The report said that: “The global 5G market is expected to rise in value to $4.2 billion by the end of 2020 as broadband providers invest in the infrastructure necessary to roll out the next-generation wireless technology”. According to the research, communications service providers (CSPs) are beginning to invest in 5G New Radio (5G NR) and over the course of 2019 this accounted for roughly six percent of total revenue — but this figure is expected to double in 2020. Gartner added: “”For 5G deployments in 2019, CSPs are using non-stand-alone technology,” said Sylvain Fabre, senior research director at Gartner. “This enables them to introduce 5G services that run more quickly, as 5G New Radio (NR) equipment can be rolled out alongside existing 4G core network infrastructure.” The report also stated that: “5G rollouts, in small areas and through pilots, are already underway across countries including the US, South Korea, and the UK. However, it is expected that trials will evolve into wider projects next year as CSPs deploy improved 4G networks with 5G technology, 5G NR, and core 5G infrastructure. The consumer market, given our predilection toward high-speed mobile services, streaming, and content uploads, is an important revenue stream for broadband providers. However, as 5G becomes established, Gartner believes the enterprise market will be the main target for new 5G services.” Active companies in the markets this week include Hawkeye Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: HWKE), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ), AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Sprint Corporation (NYSE: S), T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS).
Another report from MarketsAndMarkets said the 5G Infrastructure market: “… is valued at USD 784 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 47,775 million by 2027, at a CAGR of 67.1%. Lower latency in 5G, growing adoption of virtual networking architecture in telecommunications, and growth in mobile data traffic are among the major factors driving the 5G infrastructure market. Increasing M2M connections across various industries are also expected to drive the 5G infrastructure market growth during the forecast period.
Hawkeye Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: HWKE) NEWS: Hawkeye’s Future Subsidiary Assists with First-Ever 5G Broadcast of a Major Sports Event, the 2020 Pro Bowl – Hawkeye Systems announces that future subsidiary Radiant Images assisted in an 8K live stream of the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl into projection domes through a 5G network, marking the first-ever 5G broadcast of a major sports event.
Radiant is well known for groundbreaking innovations in volumetric video capture and high resolution immersive 8K streaming. The Pro Bowl broadcast in Orlando on Jan. 26 was streamed to a 360-degree immersive projection dome in Miami, providing viewers with a unique first-person POV of the game.
“We are excited to be pushing the boundaries of human experiences and connectivity through technology,” said Corby Marshall, CEO of Hawkeye Systems. “With the rapid evolution of 5G, people will be able to see and experience content in the highest resolution and lowest latency. The audience will now be able to be immersed into worlds previously only dreamed about or in fantasy, based on the capture of historic, live events or live physical content, to give a true sense of telepresence.”
NOTE: Video and images from the production can be found on Hawkeyes’ website at www.hawkeyesystemsinc.com.
The 2020 Pro Bowl, the National Football League’s all-star game for the 2019 season, took place on Jan. 26 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando and was televised nationally by ESPN. Radiant utilized its 360 Live Stream 8K capabilities for the event through a 5G network. Since 2015, Radiant has been making innovative developments in immersive media using 5G with collaborators such as Nokia.
Radiant was part of the production team that utilized a range of 360 cameras and rigs to capture the action in high resolution 8K 360. The content was sent through a 5G network in real time and broadcast on a massive dome in Miami to create a truly unique immersive experience. Viewers inside the dome were transported into the stadium and right into the action on the field, giving fans access to players like never before. The 8K 360 video also was delivered through head-mounted displays as well as through 5G enabled mobile phones.

Sprint Corporation (NYSE: S) the company and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) announced today the two companies are now utilizing call authentication technology that helps further protect customers from unwanted robocalls between Sprint mobile customers and Comcast’s Xfinity Voice landline phone customers.
Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) and Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (SHAKEN) is a protocol that authenticates calls between networks. The technology enables voice providers to “sign” and “verify” caller ID information, thus preventing bad actors from manipulating or “spoofing” caller ID information in an effort to deceive and defraud consumers.
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Sprint (NYSE: S) also announced they’re delivering STIR/SHAKEN number-verification across networks, an important step in the industry’s ongoing fight against unwanted scam and spam calls. The new anti-robocalling feature is currently rolling out to T-Mobile and Sprint customers and will give customers peace of mind that calls from the Sprint network to the T-Mobile network (and vice versa) are really coming from the number listed on their caller ID display and are not being spoofed.

Special Jury Prize (Mohammed Al-Rakab Award)
Film HUDA’S SALON, by award-winning Palestinian director Hany Abu-Assad, receives Special Jury Prize (Mohammed Al-Rakab Award) at the 27th edition of Tetouan Mediterranean Film Festival, which concluded its events last Friday.
This is the film’s second award, which comes after the Special Jury Mention at Beirut International Women Film Festival. HUDA’S SALON was among the Arab films that garnered international acclaim last year, especially that it was praised by top news websites like The New York Times, Boston Herald, Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Variety, to name a few.
Many good reviews were written lately about the film. “ The interrogation scene between Huda and Hasan lasts for the entirety of the film, and it's masterfully done (both written and performed),” mentioned Sheila O’ Malley in Roger Ebert. “ It offers a satisfying dramatic snap while bequeathing a more lasting anxiety,” wrote Anthony Lane in The New Yorker. “Thanks to filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad, this long-underserved sub-genre - once perfected by directors like Hitchcock, Pakula, and Weir - feels briefly resurrected thanks to his new picture Huda’s Salon,” wrote Dan Mecca in The Film Stage. “ Nearly every scene takes the form of a single unbroken shot, a technique that sometimes pulls you in and sometimes merely calls attention to its own virtuosity,” wrote Justin Chang via Los Angeles Times.
Recently, Huda’s Salon opened Reel Palestine Film Festival UAE and landed its Arab world premiere at Red Sea International Film Festival.
Huda’s Salon received wide critical acclaim upon its premiere at Toronto International Film Festival. “Huda’s Salon recalls Hollywood mysteries from the 1940s in both its brisk pace and disarmingly simple style,” mentioned The Film Stage It was also described as “an emotional rollercoaster, in the best way imaginable… This film is a masterpiece — you can't miss it” by Alisha Mughal, via Exclaim!, “This is a return to form and to more familiar territory for Abu-Assad” by Wendy Ide, via Screen Daily, and “Huda’s Salon” doesn’t waste a second… zooming from easy chatter to absolutely horrifying drama” by Kate Erbland, via Indie Wire.
Based on real events, Huda’s Salon is a heart-racing, entertaining feminist thriller, where two women fight for their freedom. Reem, a young mother who is married to a jealous man, goes to Huda's salon in Bethlehem for a haircut and an attentive ear. However, this ordinary visit turns sour after Huda puts Reem in a shameful situation, blackmails her to work for the secret service of the occupiers, hence betraying her people.
Written and directed by Hany Abu-Assad, Huda’s Salon stars Ali Suliman, Manal Awad and Maisa Abd Elhadi. The film is produced by H&A Production (Hany Abu-Assad and Amira Diab), Film Clinic (Mohamed Hefzy) and co- produced by MAD Solutions (Maher Diab and Alaa Karkouti),and Lagoonie Film Production (Shahinaz El Akkad), while Daniel Ziskind of Film Clinic is the film’s co-producer. The film is also co-produced by Key Films, Cocoon and Philistine Films. MEMENTO INTERNATIONAL handles worldwide distribution, while MAD Solutions and Lagoonie Film Production handle the film’s distribution across the Arab world.
Palestinian screenwriter and director Hany Abu-Assad is one of the most eminent Arab directors. His filmography includes several exceptional Arab films that gained exceptional international recognition, such as Paradise Now (2005), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and won a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and the film Omar (2013) that also received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 2017, Abu-Assad directed The Mountain Between Us, starring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba, which opened the 39th edition of Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF). HUDA’S SALON is his latest feature film.

BESSA, BGESS celebrate milestone anniversaries
The Black Engineering and Science Student Association (BESSA), and Black Graduate Engineering and Science Students (BGESS), celebrated their 55th and 35th anniversaries, respectively. The anniversary celebration and community building event, which took place on February 11, 2023, was hosted by the Black Engineering and Science Alumni Club (BESAC), and began with a daytime speaker series, followed by a reception at Alumni House. Several EECS alumni were in attendance, such as UC Davis Chancellor and EECS distinguished alumni Gary May (M.S.’88, Ph.D. ’91 EECS) and Valerie Taylor (Ph.D. ’91 EECS), director of the mathematics and computer science division at Argonne National Lab. Other notable alumni who were present include Marie-Ange Eyoum Tagne (M.S. ’03, Ph.D. ’06 EECS), head of product at Yahoo! and Omoju Miller (Ph.D. ‘16 CS Education), CEO and founder of Fimio; Hakim Weatherspoon (Ph.D. ‘06 CS), now a professor of computer science at Cornell, participated in a Black faculty panel. The celebration also marked the 5th anniversary of BESAC. “Being with my fellow BESSA peers and hearing the inspirational stories of BESSA alumni was a very emotional experience for me,” said Bridget Agyare, who is an undergraduate EECS major and BESSA board member. “These successful and distinguished alumni were just like us– they invested time and effort into BESSA’s legacy, they were passionate about STEM, and they were leaders in their community– and seeing what they have achieved reassures me that one day our hard work will pay off and we will succeed as well."

Hannah Joo receives Brooke Owens Fellowship
Hannah Joo, an undergraduate student studying computer science and cognitive science at Berkeley, has won a Brooke Owens Fellowship. Along with 47 undergraduate women and gender minorities from all over the world, Hannah will receive “space and aviation internships, senior mentorships, and a lifelong professional network.” In her freshman year, Hannah joined Space Enterprise at Berkeley, a student-run rocket team. With limited engineering and coding experience, she found her passion at the intersection of avionics and computer science, culminating in a summer internship with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory last year. Now in her 3rd-year, Hannah will intern with SpaceX. The Brooke Owens Fellowship was founded in 2016 to honor the memory of D. Brooke Owens, a beloved industry pioneer, and accomplished pilot, who passed away at age 35 after battling cancer.

EECS graduate students turn e-waste into art
EECS graduate students use leftover printed circuit boards (PCBs) to create art. The result is a beautiful Cal EECS bear in Berkeley blue, centered over the letters E-E-C-S in green, all made up of PCBs, on a towering six by seven plywood base held together by very-high-bond (VHB) double-sided tape. Rahul Iyer, an EECS Ph.D. student advised by EE Prof. Pilawa-Podgurski, had the idea over Thanksgiving break to make use of what would otherwise be e-waste. With the help of Rod Bayliss III, Maggie Blackwell, Sahana Krishnan and Nathan Brooks, all Ph.D. students advised by Pilawa, they set out to repurpose the leftover PCBs, first by printing the silhouette of the Cal bear on a mounting board, tracing the outline of the bear, and then using VHB to tape the PCBs onto the mounting board, filling in the outline. “It was a great bonding activity over Thanksgiving break, especially recollecting projects and past memories when we came across some of the boards,” said Rahul. “I’m so glad I had an opportunity to share in this creative endeavor with my peers. Looking forward to another project in a few years when we collect more PCBs!”

CS Kickstart thrives amid return to in-person outreach
Now in its 11th consecutive year, CS Kickstart held its one-week computer science immersion program earlier this month, ushering in over 95 attendees to the program, a record turnout. The program is designed to introduce female-identifying first-year students to computer science at Berkeley and aims to add more diversity to the field. Completely student-run, they host workshops in Python, web development, electrical engineering, and data science; panel discussions featuring current Ph.D. students and faculty speakers like CS Prof. John DeNero; field trips, like a community-building experience with the Oakland Athletics, and tours, panels, and Q&A sessions with industry partners, such as SAP Academy and Stitch Fix. “It was amazing to see CS Kickstart held in person again this year and with more students than in previous years!” said EECS Director of Student Diversity, Audrey Sillers.

US Jewish rabbis praise Muslim World League head Al-Issa’s remarks on anti-Semitism

American Jewish leaders praised on Tuesday the head of the Muslim World League (MWL) for his recent remarks condemning anti-Semitism and pledge to advance Muslim-Jewish relations.
Secretary-General of MWL Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa expressed his commitment to rebuilding relations between Muslim and Jewish people during the American Jewish Committee (AJC)’s virtual conference on Sunday.
“I have made it my mission to work with my brothers and sisters of the Jewish faith to re-sew the threads of a relationship that dates back centuries,” said Al-Issa in a video address.

The MWL has “made a concerted effort to expand our outreach to the Jewish community. Throughout history our differences have been political, they had nothing to do with religion,” added Al-Issa.
Al-Issa’s remarks are “not a singular event” but part of his ongoing interfaith efforts, according to American Jewish Rabbi Marc Schneier.
“This message is something that Dr. Al-Issa continues to emphasize and reiterate,” said Rabbi Schneier, president of the US Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU) and a Special Advisor to King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, in an interview with Al Arabiya English.

“Dr. Al-Issa has been working with several Jewish based organizations for 18 months in terms of advancing and strengthening Muslim-Jewish relations,” he added, referencing the MWL joining forces with FFEU for the Season of Twinning Program, which recently brought together rabbis and imams in over 50 events in 35 countries to focus on interreligious dialogue.
Commitment to Holocaust education
Al-Issa, a former Saudi Arabian minister of justice, led a high-level interfaith delegation to Auschwitz in January on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German death camp in Poland. He became the most senior Islamic leader in history to visit Auschwitz and recalled the visit during his remarks to the AJC.
“On that memorable day I stood alongside my Muslim and Jewish brothers, united in resolve and said: never again … The horrors of the Holocaust must never be repeated or forgotten,” he said.

Al-Issa is dedicated to Holocaust education, according to Schneier, and is unequivocal in his condemnation of anti-Semitism.
World War II and the Holocaust provided many lessons for humanity, according to Al-Issa, who said those lessons should be applied today.
“Muslims and Jews know only too well the danger posed by extremists of all types who seek to exploit instability to promote hatred and violence and particularly neo-Nazism,” said Al-Issa.

“We now must unite against those who promote hatred and intolerance,” he added.
The Muslim World League is an international non-governmental Islamic organization based in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Founded in 1962 by Crown Prince Faisal Bin Abdul-Aziz, MWL represents the fifty states of the Islamic world.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the leading contributor member of the Muslim countries funding MWL.

History Shows That Those Who Commit International Law Violations Outside the United States Can Be Held Liable in U.S. Courts
Clinic files amicus curiae brief with U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of legal historians in major Alien Tort Statute case
June 14, 2012, Cambridge, MA—Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic has submitted a supplemental amicus curiae brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of petitioners in a major Alien Tort Statute (“ATS”) case, Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. Nine eminent legal historians joined the brief as amici: William R. Casto, Charles Donahue, Robert W. Gordon, Nasser Hussain, Stanley N. Katz, Michael Lobban, Jenny S. Martinez, and Anne-Marie Slaughter.
Clinical Directors Susan Farbstein and Tyler Giannini served as counsel for the amici, who argue that Congress, when enacting the statute, did not intend to restrict its territorial reach. Rather, the ATS was passed to address universally-condemned violations of the law of nations, such as piracy.
“This statute was clearly designed to open U.S. courts to those who suffered egregious violations of international law, wherever they are committed,” said Tyler Giannini, Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. “The framers had in mind abuses like piracy, which necessarily takes place outside the United States.”
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Kiobel in late February and a week later requested supplemental briefing on the question of whether the statute encompasses violations committed outside the territory of the United States. The case, which has attracted international attention, involves claims for human rights abuses committed in Nigeria.
“Kiobel is one of the most significant human rights cases to come before the U.S. Supreme Court in years,” said Susan Farbstein, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. “As a team, we felt honored to do the work of clarifying the historical record on how the courts have traditionally interpreted the ATS and the legal doctrines it embodies.”
Historical documents unearthed by the Clinic’s research team in British and American archives confirm that, from the outset, survivors could bring ATS claims for violations of international law occurring outside the United States. In one of the earliest interpretations of the statute, dating to 1795, the U.S. Attorney General opined that individuals harmed in a raid in British Sierra Leone could use the ATS to seek redress in U.S. courts.
“It’s been gratifying to see the principles of justice are transcendent throughout history,” said Russell Kornblith, JD ’12, who was a key member of the project team.
In addition to Kornblith, clinical students Poppy Alexander, JD ’12, Yonina Alexander, JD ’12, and Daniel Saver, JD ’12, contributed countless hours towards the brief, working in close collaboration with the amici. The Harvard team was supported by international researchers, including students from the School of Oriental and African Studies under the supervision of Deval Desai, LLM ’09.
“It was definitely the highlight of my law school experience,” said Poppy Alexander, JD ’12, who worked on the case for more than a year. “We had a strong sense of mission about this case.”
At the heart of the case is Esther Kiobel, whose husband was one of eight Ogoni leaders executed during the mid-1990s. In 2002, she and the other plaintiffs filed claims against Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. for extrajudicial killing, torture, crimes against humanity, and prolonged arbitrary arrest and detention, alleging that the multi-national company collaborated with the Nigerian government to perpetrate these violations in order to suppress lawful protest against oil exploration.
The case became a focus of debate over corporate accountability when, in a September 2010 ruling, the Second Circuit became the first and only appellate court to reject the proposition that corporations may be held liable for torts in violation of international law under the ATS. Subsequent decisions by the D.C. Circuit in Doe v. Exxon and the Seventh Circuit in Flomo v. Firestone explicitly rejected the Second Circuit’s reasoning.
Re-argument before the Supreme Court on the supplemental issue of territoriality is expected for late 2012, with a decision in 2013.

Koch Backs Amherst in $200 Million Bet on Single-Family Rentals
Gillian Tan and Patrick Clark, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) -- Koch Industries Inc.’s real estate arm is betting on U.S. rental homes.
Koch Real Estate Investments, a subsidiary of billionaire Charles Koch’s company, made a $200 million preferred-equity investment in Amherst Holdings LLC’s single-family rental business, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The transaction, which had been in discussions for more than a year, closed earlier this month, said some of the people, who asked not to be identified because the transaction hasn’t been disclosed publicly. The deal will boost Amherst’s capacity for buying houses to $2 billion, based on a roughly 80% loan-to-value ratio, said one of the people.
Spokesmen for Koch and Amherst declined to comment.
The deal could also provide synergies between Austin, Texas-based Amherst and Koch’s consumer and building products arm, which includes manufacturers of carpeting, glass, insulation, shingles, wallboard and lighting systems. Amherst, which operates roughly 22,000 homes, could use Koch products when renovating homes or use the relationship to build a supply chain for developing purpose-built rental homes, one of the people said.
That model, known as “build-to-rent,” has gained popularity with investors including JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s asset-management arm, which recently expanded a $625 million joint venture with landlord American Homes 4 Rent to develop roughly 2,500 single-family rental homes in high-growth markets in the U.S. West and Southeast.
Ladder, Front Yard
Koch earlier this month bet on another corner of real estate by providing a roughly $200 million credit facility to mortgage real estate investment trust Ladder Capital Corp. As part of that deal, Koch has the option to make a $32 million equity investment in Ladder by the end of the year.
On May 4, Amherst terminated a $2.3 billion deal to acquire publicly traded rival Front Yard Residential Corp., a single-family landlord with about 15,000 properties. The agreement, reached in February, fell apart after the coronavirus pandemic roiled real estate markets amid stay-at-home orders nationwide.
In breaking the deal, Amherst agreed to pay a $25 million termination fee, purchase $55 million worth of Front Yard shares and provide the landlord with a $20 million unsecured loan facility.

Institute for Biomedical Sciences
A non-profit public benefit organization supporting research in regenerative medicine to produce tissues and organs for implantation in humans.
We will plan and conduct tissue regeneration research using the latest scientific methods to discover and develop the salient factors that mandate targeted and efficient cells growth. Our results and reports can be established as standards for the regenerative medicine industry. We will support young scientists and students who share our goals through awards, scholarships, fellowships and internships. We will apply for government grants and request funding from industry and the general public to support our goals.
The Microvascular Research Institute was founded in 1979 by faculty members from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Southern California. It was established to investigate the cause, progression, cure and prevention of diseases by studying the smallest blood vessels – capillaries, which are responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to all tissues and organs. Later, in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons at Scripps Health our work expanded into the musculoskeletal area resulting in a name change to the Institute for Biomedical Sciences in 1994. We enhanced the performance of artificial hip and knee joint implants using state-of-the art biomechanics and computational approaches. We believe the next scientific breakthrough is the successful bioengineering of cartilage and related tissues for biologic joint replacement. A key to this success is uncovering the optimum external conditions for cells to form cartilage and supporting target tissues. We are now in the process of performing a series of systematic experiments to quantify the effects of mechanical, chemical and electromagnetic forces on cells. With our experience in capillary blood flow we plan to sustain the growing cells in a bioreactor with a tissue engineered capillary network.
Our leadership team consists of a senior bioengineer, a clinician and an academician with multidisciplinary expertise in blood circulation, orthopedics, tissue engineering and biomedical instrumentation. We are dedicated to the promotion of research in tissue regeneration with a current focus on the development of biological materials for the repair of damaged and diseased cartilage.
Peter C.Y. Chen, Ph.D. has been the president of the Institute for Biomedical Sciences since 2015. He is an Emeriti Mentor at the University of California, San Diego. Prof. Chen received his B.A. in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego and continued with receiving his Ph.D. degree in 1978 under Prof. Y.C. Fung, a founding member of the UCSD Bioengineering Department. After his post-doctoral training at the University of Southern California Physiology Laboratory from Dr. S. Sobin, Prof. Chen served as Senior Research Associate and the Co-director of the Greater Los Angeles American Heart Association Cardiovascular Research Laboratory. He returned to UCSD in 1993 as Research Bioengineer/Project Scientist and in 2000 assumed a teaching roll as Lecturer. Prof. Chen's research interests include hemodynamics and the functional aspects of the microcirculation, in vivo video-microscopy, microvascular changes in diabetes, hypertension and sickle cell disease in animal and human models, long term effects of implantable biosensors, blood substitutes, effects of mechanical stresses on cells and tissues, cartilage injury evaluation, bioreactor and cartilage tissue engineering, electrospinning and 3D printing, hip and knee joint replacements, and biomedical instrumentation. Prof. Chen was instrumental in the design and construction of a pneumatic 8 station hip joint wear tester, a two dimensional soft tissue testing machine, an image processing system for non-invasive measurement of human capillary blood flow, an artificial intelligence based computer diagnostic system for the non-invasive vascular laboratory, an alternating current electrophoretic chamber for single cell studies, and other unique biomedical devices. His current focus is on the development of a bioreactor incorporating the simultaneous application of mechanical, chemical and electrical stimulations on growing cells. Prof. Chen is credited for helping to implement the first freshman laboratory course in the UCSD Bioengineering Department in 2015, also a first in the nation. Prof. Chen continues to publish peer reviewed manuscripts, is the editor of two bioengineering books and has received the Malpighi Gold Award for excellence in the production of a motion picture on microcirculation.

Anthony Tze-Wai Cheung, Ph.D., was born in Hong Kong and received his high school education from Wah Yan College/HK Jesuit High School. He matriculated at the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Medicine and attended medical school in the Bachelor of Medicine-Bachelor of Surgery (MB,BS) program. In 1967, he immigrated to the United States, and continued his medical training as well as extending his science background at the University of California, Los Angeles/UCLA (MA: endocrinology; PhD: physiology and cell biology). Dr. Cheung received his first fellowship award in UCLA, and was mentored by the late Professor Michael ”Spike” Miller in clinical studies coupled with special emphasis on “innate immunity” as a pediatric host defense mechanism against infectious diseases. Upon completion of his training, Dr. Cheung was offered a post-doctoral appointment at California Institute of Technology (CalTech), Pasadena, CA as a CalTech Fellow in engineering science and applied mechanics, and later a second fellowship as a Senior Fellow in bioengineering and biomechanics (under the mentorship of Professor Theodore “Ted” Wu and the late Professor Harold Wayland). In 1978, Dr. Cheung started his academic career at UCLA School of Medicine as assistant professor of pediatrics (infectious disease). Because of his love for teaching, Dr. Cheung concurrently served as a teaching faculty (physiology, cell biology and embryology) at Loyola University, Los Angeles, CA. Professor Cheung relocated to the University of California, Davis (UCD) School of Medicine as associate professor and director of pediatrics in 1982. In his first year at UCD, he founded the fetal and neonatal medicine unit (in a NIH-funded research center) which he directed during his tenure in the department. Later he laterally moved to the department of pathology and laboratory medicine as professor of pathology and director of leukocyte biology laboratory in 1988/89. Professor Cheung spent 23 years in the department and eventually retired in 2011 while he was serving as professor and vice chair of the department, founding director of the North Central California (Region 8) breast cancer registry, co-director of the Sacramento breast cancer early detection program, and founding director of biomedical engineering division. He was appointed professor emeritus in the University of California system upon his retirement. A major focus of Professor Cheung’s expertise lies in real-time in vivo and non-invasive video-microscopy on the microcirculation and subsequent objective computer-assisted image analysis for vasculopathy characteristics in vascular diseases. To achieve these goals, Professor Cheung designed and co-developed (with Dr. Peter Chen, UCSD, La Jolla, CA) different versions of the real-time computer-assisted intravital microscope (CAIM) to study vasculopathy in human diseases and severe blood loss patients, using the conjunctival microvascular network and the finger nailfold capillary bed as research platforms. As a follow-up on his goals, Professor Cheung has successfully applied this non-invasive and quantitative technology to study conjunctival microcirculation abnormalities (vasculopathy) in diabetes (T1DM and T2DM), hypertension, sickle cell disease, Alzheimer’s disease, hemorrhagic shock, and other vascular disorders in human patients. These studies were based on his proven theory that vasculopathy in the peripheral vessels (conjunctival as well as nailfold) could reveal vascular abnormalities in the intracranial or systemic vessels (e.g., stroke predictions in sickle cell disease and vasculopathy reversal after a successful simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant). In addition, Professor Cheung has adapted his intravital technology to study efficacy of artificial blood and high-viscosity colloidal solution resuscitation as a treatment modality for hemorrhagic shock and rural (or battlefield) blood loss injuries. Professor Cheung has received numerous honors and awards, including the UCD School of Medicine 1990 Joan Oettinger Memorial Award for excellence in cancer research, the UCD School of Medicine 2004 Faculty Research Award for life-time outstanding research achievement, the UCD 1998 Chancellor James H. Meyer university-wide Distinguished Career Achievement Award for excellence in teaching, research, and university and community service, and the 2000 and 2004 University of California system-wide Professional Development Award. Professor Cheung held visiting professorship in many outside universities, including Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, USA), Pittsburgh/Carnegie Mellon NMR Center (Pittsburgh, USA), Stanford University School of Medicine (Palo Alto, USA), Oakland Children’s Hospital Research Institute (Oakland, USA), Universidad del Mayab (Merida, Mexico), and Cairo University (Cairo, Egypt). In his long academic and research career of 35-plus years in UCLA and UCD, Professor Cheung had received interdisciplinary and translational research funding in excess of US$17M from extramural funding sources, including NIH, DOD, CA Department of Health Services, and various foundations and professional societies (e.g., AHA, CFRF, Pacific Bell, etc) in the form of grants, contracts, awards, discretion gifts, and donations. His research efforts had resulted in the publication of over 200 papers and numerous lectures and presentations. In addition to his academic accolades, Professor Cheung was honored by the State of California Senate and Legislature Assembly in three separate resolutions for his life-time achievement in cancer studies, diabetes research, infectious disease/host defense studies, clinical and efficacy trials, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, breast cancer informatics and telepathology (Let-the-fingers-do-the-walking CalREN US$1M project), and the establishment of the North Central California Breast Cancer Registry which he directed since its inception. In the resolutions, Professor Cheung was cited for his contribution to the residents of the State of California in addition to his scientific achievements, and for the breast cancer detection and service for uninsured underprivileged women, in providing free physical examinations and their first mammograms as well as follow-up treatments for two years if cancer was confirmed – it was a life-saving project for all uninsured women who could not otherwise financially afford these procedures. This early detection and treatment program for the indigent population in North California was established through grant support from the California Department of Health Services, generous support (two times) from the Blue Cross Foundation, local cancer and/or charity foundations, local fund-raising efforts, and personal donations from Professor Cheung to cover funding deficits. After his retirement, Professor Cheung was appointed to sit on the Board of Directors of the Institute for Biomedical Sciences to promote research activities for high school seniors and university freshmen, and to serve as a pro bono mentor for undergraduate students in local universities.

Aldine ISD, YES Prep receive grant from Gates Foundation
February 4, 2014 Northeast News News Index - Front Page 0
To support its goal of providing every student with a high-quality public education that prepares them for success in college and career, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Jan. 29 grants totaling $500,000 to five cities where public charter and district schools are committed to working together to support student success: Aldine ISD, Lawrence (MA), San Jose (CA), Spokane (WA) and Tulsa (OK). These communities join a group of 15 other cities across the U.S. that have also signed District-Charter Collaboration Compacts – plans for bold collaboration between public charter and district public schools.
The foundation’s investment of $100,000 each enables these communities to continue scaling and working on initiatives that support the strategic focus of improving educational outcomes for all students, including:
Joint professional development for teachers in public charter and district schools;
Implementing the Common Core State Standards with aligned instructional tools and supports for teachers;
Creating personalized learning experiences for students;
Universal enrollment system for all public schools in a city; and
Common metrics to help families evaluate all schools on consistent criteria.
“These cities and their leaders understand the importance of collaboration and the benefits of sharing best practices to support student success,” said Don Shalvey, Deputy Director of US Programs at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “They have taken the initiative to go beyond the traditional comparison of charters vs. district schools and are working together to benefit all students in their communities. We commend these cities and their local leaders for their commitment to providing a quality education for every student and expanded public school options in the spirit of collaboration.”
The Aldine compact brings together two Broad Prize winners –
Aldine Independent School District (Broad Prize of Urban Educators) and YES Prep (Broad Prize of Public Charter Schools). The two organizations will work together to increase college readiness and graduation rates through sharing information, best practices and educator supports to develop leadership skills.
The District-Charter Collaboration Compacts are designed to address issues that have often led to tensions between public charter and district schools. These include access to equitable funding and facilities, as well as whether charter schools are open to all students, including English language learners and those with special needs. Through a mix of accountability, collaboration and pledging to share resources and best practices, Compact cities are working through many of these issues.
“We are excited about formalizing our collaboration with YES Prep,” said Aldine ISD Superintendent Dr. Wanda Bamberg. “I firmly believe that working together, we will collectively have a better chance of improving the educational opportunities and outcomes for all children.”
In addition to the five District-Charter Collaboration Compacts announced today, since 2010 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has invested in similar compacts in Austin; Baltimore; Boston; Central Falls (RI); Chicago; Denver; Hartford, (CT); Los Angeles; Minneapolis; Nashville; New Orleans; New York City; Philadelphia; Rochester (NY); Sacramento; and Spring Branch (TX). In these cities, public charter and district school leaders, teachers, superintendents and other community partners, such as mayors and local teachers’ unions or school board members, are working together to ensure all students in their communities receive a high-quality education that prepares them for college and career. To date, the foundation has invested more than $25 million in Compact cities.

The L.A. Rebellion – Director Charles Burnett & Director Billy Woodberry @ 2021 TCM Film Festival
In the late 1960s, in the aftermath of the Watts Uprising and against the backdrop of the continuing Civil Rights Movement and the escalating Vietnam War, a group of African and African-American students entered the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, as part of an Ethno-Communications initiative designed to be responsive to communities of color (also including Asian, Chicano and Native American communities). Now referred to as the “L.A. Rebellion,” these mostly unheralded artists created a unique cinematic landscape, as—over the course of two decades—students arrived, mentored one another and passed the torch to the next group. Beyond the films themselves, what makes the L.A. Rebellion movement a discovery worthy of a place in film history is the vitality of its filmmakers, their utopian vision of a better society, their sensitivity to children and gender issues, their willingness to question any and all received wisdom, their identification with the liberation movements in the Third World, and their expression of Black pride and dignity. As part of the 2021 TCM (Turner Classic Movies) Film Festival is spotlighting two of the L.A. Rebellion’s leading lights, Charles Burnett and Billy Woodberry in the festival’s Special Collections section. Charles Burnett and Billy Woodberry join us for a conversation on their recollections the birth of the L.A. Rebellion and the inspiration for their life altering decision to become filmmakers.

About the filmmaker – Charles Burnett is a writer-director whose work has received extensive honors. Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, his family soon moved to the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Burnett studied creative writing at UCLA before entering the University’s graduate film program. His thesis project, Killer of Sheep (1977), won accolades at film festivals and a critical devotion; in 1990, it was among the first titles named to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. European financing allowed Burnett to shoot his second feature, My Brother’s Wedding (1983), but a rushed debut prevented the filmmaker from completing his final cut until 2007. In 1988, Burnett was awarded the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur (“genius grant”) Fellowship and shortly thereafter Burnett became the first African American recipient of the National Society of Film Critics’ best screenplay award, for To Sleep with Anger (1990). Burnett made the highly acclaimed “Nightjohn” in 1996 for the Disney Channel; his subsequent television works include “Oprah Winfrey Presents: The Wedding” (1998), “Selma, Lord, Selma” (1999), an episode of the seven-part series “Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues” (2003) and “Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property” (2003), which was shown on the PBS series “Independent Lens.” Burnett has been awarded grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the J. P. Getty Foundation. In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art showcased his work with a month-long retrospective.
To Sleep with Anger – Writer and Director Charles Burnett – A slow-burning masterwork of the early 1990s, this third feature by Charles Burnett is a singular piece of American mythmaking. In a towering performance, Danny Glover plays the enigmatic southern drifter Harry, a devilish charmer who turns up out of the blue on the South Central Los Angeles doorstep of his old friends. In short order, Harry’s presence seems to cast a chaotic spell on what appeared to be a peaceful household, exposing smoldering tensions between parents and children, tradition and change, virtue and temptation. Interweaving evocative strains of gospel and blues with rich, poetic-realist images, To Sleep with Anger is a sublimely stirring film from an autonomous artistic sensibility, a portrait of family resilience steeped in the traditions of African American mysticism and folklore.
About the filmmaker – Billy Woodberry Born in Dallas in 1950, Billy Woodberry is one of the founders of the L.A. Rebellion film movement. His first feature film Bless Their Little Hearts (1983) is a pioneer and essential work of this movement, influenced by Italian neo-realism and the work of Third Cinema filmmakers. The film was awarded with an OCIC and Interfilm awards at the Berlin International Film Festival and was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2013. His latest feature film And when I die, I won’t stay dead (2015) about the beat poet Bob Kaufman was the opening film of MoMA’s Doc Fortnight in 2016. Woodberry has appeared in Charles Burnett’s “When It Rains” (1995) and provided narration for Thom Andersen’s Red HOLLYWOOD” (1996) and James Benning’s “Four Corners”(1998). His work has been screened at Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Harvard Film Archive, Camera Austria Symposium, Human Rights Watch Film Festival, Tate Modern and Centre Pompidou. He received his MFA degree from UCLA in 1982 where he also taught at the School of Theater, Film and Television. Since 1989 Billy Woodberry is a faculty member of the School of Film/Video and the School of Art at the California Institute of the Arts.
Bless Their Little Hearts – Director / Producer / Editor Billy Woodberry – A key masterpiece of the L.A Rebellion, Bless Their Little Hearts distills the social concerns and aesthetics of that trailblazing movement in African American cinema. Billy Woodberry’s film showcases his attentive eye, sensitivity to the nuances of community and family, and the power of the blues. Searching for steady work, Charlie Banks (Nate Hardman) views his chronic unemployment as a kind of spiritual trial. But day work and selling a few catfish can’t sustain a family of five. While his wife, Andais (Kaycee Moore), works to support them with dignity, Charlie finds comfort for his wounded sense of manhood in an affair that threatens his marriage and family. At the heart of this devastatingly beautiful film is the couple’s agonizing confrontation – shot in one continuous ten-minute take – that ranks as “one of the great domestic cataclysms of modern movies.” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker) Named to the National Film Registry, Bless Their Little Hearts features contributions by two iconic American artists: Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep, To Sleep With Anger), who wrote and shot the film, and Kaycee Moore (Daughters of the Dust), whose powerful performance as Andais Banks remains a revelation. Film restoration by Ross Lipman with Billy Woodberry at UCLA Film & Television Archive. 2K Digital restoration by Re-Kino, Warsaw. English captions and Spanish subtitles.

Alison Jacques Gallery presents a solo exhibition of rare ballet and theatre designs by Dorothea Tanning, dating from 1945 through to 1961, in the upstairs exhibition space.
Last shown in a solo exhibition with accompanying catalogue at The Drawing Center in New York (2010), this body of work has previously not been exhibited in Europe. The series of ink, gouache and watercolour works on paper shown in London feature over twenty costumes and two set designs.
While renowned for her painting, Tanning was also commissioned to create costume and set designs for a number of ballets choreographed or produced by the co-founder of the New York City Ballet, George Balanchine. Tanning had met Balanchine at the Julien Levy Gallery, which was a popular gathering place for Surrealists living in New York at the time and home to her first solo gallery show in 1944. Tanning described their first meeting as ‘momentous’, and went on to collaborate with Balanchine on his productions of Night Shadow (choreographed by Balanchine and premiered at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York in 1946); The Witch(choreographed by John Cranko and premiered at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London in 1950); and Bayou (choreographed by Balanchine and premiered at New York City Center in 1952). Also featured are watercolour designs for unrealised ballets from the late 1940s - early 1950s, and two later watercolours related to theatre costumes Tanning designed for Jean Giraudoux’s play Judith (directed by Jean-Louis Barrault at his avant-garde Théâtre de France at l’Odéon in 1961, with sets designed by Max Ernst).
Exceeding their practical intention as instructions for set and costume designs, the works in Night Shadows embody a sense of movement and fantasy. The fanciful characters we see in Tanning’s images show the artist exploring costume as her medium, drawing from her early experience rendering fashion advertisements as a young artist. Inspired by the productions themselves, Tanning’s costumes convey narratives of transformation and push the limits of the theatrical. They often feature uncanny and outlandish face masks or headdresses, like a deer’s head with jewelled antlers (Night Shadow), a tentacled octopus (The Witch) and a bird-like figure with a dramatic spray of head and tail feathers (Bayou), engulfing and transfiguring the heads of the dancers who might wear them.
In costumes that define the bodies of dancers or drapery that flows throughout the space of a theatre set, these works represent the artist’s visual exploration of the expressive potential of fabric, which Tanning once described as ‘supple, sly, always moving…’. This theme is introduced in her early paintings such as Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, (1943, Collection of Tate, London) and later realised in the artist’s series of fabric sculptures from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The works gathered here also celebrate dance, which is a subject that recurs throughout Tanning’s career. For instance, she realised four works entitled Tango over a 50-year period (1939 – 1989), and included the iconography of ballet in the otherwise completely fantastical painting La Chienne et sa muse (1964), in which a dog is depicted en pointecomplete with ballet shoes. In this sense, they are part of Tanning’s career-long interest in the interplay between bodies, material and space.

New partnership to provide open road tolling back office system for Virginia bridge project
By Tom Stone on May 5, 2016 Partnerships, Acquisitions & Mergers, Planning, Testing, R&D, Tolling
A new partnership will be working together to provide a complete open road tolling (ORT) back-office services system for the Dominion Boulevard Project in Chesapeake, Virginia, USA.
In March this year, a subsidiary of United Bridge Partners (UBP), UBP Dominion, received Notice to Proceed instruction from the City of Chesapeake to develop a complete ORT back-office system for the project. ETAN Industries, as a subcontractor of UBP Dominion, will provide tolling support in the areas of customer service call center operations, transaction management, billing, accounting, and payment processing services.
Founded in 2010, UBP is a joint venture created through the partnership of: American Infrastructure MLP Funds (AIM), a US$1.9bn private investment firm; FIGG Bridge Group (FIGG), one of the USA’s largest bridge-focused design and engineering companies, with over US$14bn in transportation infrastructure projects and innovative toll systems; and LANE Industries, an integrated construction and infrastructure project management company.
The Dominion Boulevard Project provides for the construction of a new 95-ft (29m) high, fixed-span, four-lane toll bridge to cross the Elizabeth River. This bridge, along with widening of surrounding roadways and the addition of several interchanges, is designed to accommodate traffic increases in the area. In 1990, there were 18,000 vehicles on Dominion Boulevard, with the current count being 33,000, which is expected to climb to 42,000 by 2030. Dominion Boulevard will be an all-electronic toll collection system, in which drivers can pre-pay by using an E-ZPass transponder. If a transponder is not present, a license plate image will be used to mail an invoice to the DMV address associated with the vehicle.
“ETAN Industries is a trusted partner, providing advanced, accurate and reliable service. We are confident that they will be a strong addition to our back-office program,” said Veronica Latonio, project manager for UBP Dominion. “We are also grateful for the professionalism and efficiency of the city’s Treasury Office in helping to get this project off the ground.”
In July 2015, ETAN was honored with the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association’s (IBTTA) Toll Excellence Award for the development of FASTLane -the Financial Accountability Solution for Tolling. Several aspects of FASTLane, which combines industry-leading accounting services with powerful video toll transaction capabilities, will be used as part of the UBP Dominion solution.
FASTLane operates using a unified database and a common data model, enabling ETAN to offer a completely centralized system, with a single point of reference for everyone involved in a tolling deployment, including consumers, the customer service team, for the toll-authority administration. The system’s Point in Time database architecture allows for instant processing of adjustments, easy reconciliation with toll-authority data, and almost real-time reporting and control of video toll activities.
Tolling for the Dominion Boulevard Project is expected to begin as early as the fourth quarter of this year, and Steve Levine, CEO of ETAN Industries, commented, “We look forward to working with UBP Dominion, and to helping ensure smooth travels and unsurpassed customer service to the people of Chesapeake and the surrounding communities.”

Sloan was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and spent her childhood living in California, the Netherlands, Istanbul, Turkey, Washington D.C. and Eugene, Oregon. She received her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College in Massachusetts, and after working briefly at Grey Advertising in New York City, moved to Los Angeles where she sold her first screenplay at the age of twenty-four.
Her film credits include writing Made in America (1993), and writing and producing Angels in the Outfield (1994). She was the first woman to direct a live action film for Disney when she both wrote and directed the soccer film The Big Green (1995). Sloan followed this up when she wrote and directed the independent film The Secret Life of Girls, which premiered at the Seattle Film Festival.
Sloan was the screenwriter on Steve Irwin's feature film for MGM The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002). She was the writer and director of the film Heidi 4 Paws (2008), which is a retelling of the children's classic story of Heidi, written by Johanna Spyri in 1880, but with live action dogs in all of the parts. The film first aired on Public Television sponsored by Chicago Public Television station WTTW. She was the screenwriter of the 2014 Hallmark Hall of Fame Christmas movie: One Christmas Eve.
Sloan's debut novel, I'll Be There, was published by Little, Brown and Company in spring of 2011. Her books are currently in print from thirty-two publishers in twenty-three languages. Her second novel, Counting By 7s, was published by Dial in August 2013. It was Amazon's best book of the year for middle graders, and has spent 84 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list. A sequel to I'll Be There, titled Just Call My Name, was published on August 5, 2014. Both I'll Be There and the follow up novel have been optioned by Freeform for a one-hour television series.
Counting By 7s was nominated for a Dorothy Canfield Fisher Book Award in 2014, and was a nominee for the Global Read Aloud Award, and was an E.B White Honor Book. In Italy it received the Andersen Prize in Genoa in May 2015 for best novel for children ages 12+. It is currently on 44 state reading lists in the United States, and won best book for young readers in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Sloan's novel Appleblossom the Possum, was published in August 2015 by Dial (Penguin Random House). It was an Amazon Best Book of the Month, and an Indie Next selection for the fall of 2015. The audiobook was read by Dustin Hoffman, and features music from Ry Cooder. The book features illustrations by her husband, Gary A. Rosen, who is also a film and television writer.
Sloan's next novel was published by Dial (Penguin Random House)in January 2017. It is titled "Short". It is a New York Times bestseller and was an Indie Bookstore bestseller.

Video Watch Elaine Stritch Sing 'The Ladies Who Lunch' From Newly Remastered Original Cast Album: Company Documentary The Broadway documentary is released in HD for the first time August 17 from Criterion.
The Criterion Collection releases D.A. Pennebaker's theatrical documentary Original Cast Album: Company August 17, for the first time in HD on Blu-ray—as well as on DVD after years of being out-of-print. The film captures the recording sessions for the original Broadway cast album of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's landmark 1970 musical Company. Preview the new restored and remastered HD release of the film above, with a special clip of Elaine Stritch singing what would become her signature song, "The Ladies Who Lunch."
Stritch's performance of the number unintentionally becomes the climax of the film. Left to the end of the recording session, Stritch doesn't begin putting the number down until well after 3 AM. The famously neurotic performer has somewhat of a breakdown as nerves, exhaustion, and a night of drinking catch up with her, making it impossible to get a proper recording of the song. Stritch ultimately returns two days later to record the vocal to pre-recorded accompaniment by the show's orchestra, which is the take that ended up on the album.
Blu-ray cover for Criterion's Original Cast Album: Company The Criterion Collection
The film has received a restored 4k digital transfer, supervised by Chris Hegedus and Nate Pennebaker, which serves as the source for both the Blu-ray and DVD releases. Along with the film, the discs include a number of newly produced bonus features, including a feature-length audio commentary by Sondheim; a conversation between Sondheim, orchestrator Jonathan Tunick, and critic Frank Rich; an interview with Tunick led by author and theatre historian Ted Chapin, and an audio commentary with Pennebaker, Stritch, and Prince created for the film's 2001 DVD release and some never-before-heard audio excerpts from this commentary's recording session.
The disc will also include Original Cast Album: Co-Op, the 2019 episode of Documentary Now! that parodied Pennebaker's film. WIth performances from John Mulaney, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Richard Kind, Alex Brightman, Paula Pell, and more, the episode sees the cast of a fictional musical gathering to record its cast album just after learning that its run has been prematurely cut short following dismal reviews. A 2020 reunion of the cast and crew for this episode will be included as well.
Company centers on the perpetually single Bobby on his 35th birthday and his married friends, all of whom seem to want him to settle down. The Best Musical Tony Award-winning work was one of the first so-called "concept" musicals to be a big success on Broadway, in that it lacked a linear plot in favor of a collection of thematically linked vignettes.
With a score introducing such tunes as "Sorry-Grateful," "You Could Drive a Person Crazy," "Another Hundred People," "Barcelona," and "Being Alive," Company also firmly established Sondheim as a musical theatre powerhouse. The musical was the first collaboration between Sondheim and director Hal Prince, a partnership that would go on to produce a string of landmark musicals throughout the 1970s that many credit with changing the art form, including A Little Night Music, Follies, and Sweeney Todd.
The musical has continued to be a favorite among theatre fans, receiving Broadway revivals in 1995 and 2006. A new revival, re-imagined by director Marianne Elliott to center around a female protagonist, played London's West End in 2018 and was in previews for its Broadway transfer when health restrictions shut Broadway down last year. The production, starring Katrina Lenk and Patti LuPone, is set to resume performances November 15 ahead of a December 9 Broadway opening.

Does your dog or cat enjoy exploring the fields and forests near your home? These areas are prime habitats for ticks, small parasites that survive by drinking a host's blood. Ticks spread a variety of diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. During the fall, ticks become more active, which increases your pet's risk of illness.
How Ticks Make Pets Sick
Ticks may look like bugs, but they're actually arachnids, an animal class that includes spiders, daddy longlegs, and mites. You'll find ticks in shady, moist places, like tall grass, brush, shrubs, logs, wood piles, and stone fences. Your pet could pick up a tick simply by walking through a pile of wet leaves or taking an autumn walk with you through the woods.
Ticks attach themselves to a host's body with their mouths and begin to feed on that animal's blood. As the tick feeds, it may inject a virus, bacteria, or protozoa into its host's blood. A series of small hook-like structures in the tick's mouth can dig into your dog or cat's skin, making it possible for the tick to remain attached to your furry friend for hours.
Your pet doesn't automatically become sick the instant that a tick begins to feed. Disease transmission can take two to 90 hours, depending on the type of tick. Ticks aren't easy to see when they're not full of blood. In fact, they're no bigger than the head of a nail, according to the ASPCA. Once they're engorged with blood, they can grow to 1/4" or more in diameter.
Diseases Caused by Ticks in the U.S.
Your pet could develop one of these diseases if bitten by a tick:
Lyme Disease. Black-legged (deer) ticks transmit the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Symptoms of Lyme disease include joint pain, swollen joints, fever, limping, lameness, enlarged lymph nodes, and loss of appetite. Pets that have Lyme disease may get tired easily or have less stamina than usual. If the disease isn't treated promptly, kidney failure, heart problems, or joint damage can occur.
Anaplasmosis. Black-legged and brown dog ticks can also spread anaplasmosis, a disease that has many of the same symptoms as Lyme disease. According to the American Kennel Club, some unlucky pets can have both anaplasmosis and Lyme disease at the same time.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Rocky Mountain spotted fever has been reported in nearly every state, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that the disease is most often found in Central, Eastern and Western states. If your pet has Rocky Mountain spotted fever, it may experience joint pain, fever, swollen lymph nodes, poor appetite, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, balance problems, and purple spots on the mouth or eyelids due to damaged blood vessels. In severe cases, organ failure can occur due to blood clots. The American Dog Tick, Brown Deer Tick and Rocky Mountain Wood Tick can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Cytauxzoonosis. This tick-borne disease spread by the American dog tick and lone star tick affects cats, many of whom die from the illness. Symptoms include high fever, weakness, fatigue, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, enlarged lymph nodes, abdominal pain, seizures, and coma.
Ehrlichiosis. Spread by the lone star, American dog, and brown dog ticks, ehrlichiosis can cause fever, trouble breathing, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, swollen limbs, and bleeding disorders.
Babesiosis. Babesiosis attacks your pet's red blood cells, causing fever, anemia, swollen lymph nodes, weakness, jaundice, pale gums, fatigue, and dark brown, orange, or red urine. Your pet can develop babesiosis after being bitten by a black-legged tick.
Hepatozoonosis. A bite from either the lone star or gulf coast tick could cause hepatazoonosis. Loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, eye and nose discharge, muscle pain and weakness, and difficulty moving are common symptoms. Like other tick-borne illnesses, pets can die from hepatozoonosis without quick treatment.
How to Protect Your Pet from Ticks
Reduce your pet's risk of tick-borne diseases by:
Performing Tick Checks After a Trip Outdoors. If you find a tick, remove it by grasping the head and slowly pulling it out of your pet's skin with tweezers. Kill the tick by putting it in a container filled with rubbing alcohol. If you can't remove the tick or only removed part of it, call your veterinarian.
Watching Your Pet. Look for symptoms of tick-borne illness, which include redness around the tick bite, fever, and painful joints, for several weeks after the bite. (In some cases, symptoms may not appear for several months).
Calling Your Veterinarian. Your veterinarian can provide products that kill ticks before they can harm your pet.

Dave Patterson wins 2022 NAI Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering
CS Prof. Emeritus David Patterson has won the 2022 Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering from the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Recognized as one of the world's preeminent awards for engineering achievement, the prize "honors an engineer whose accomplishment has significantly impacted society by improving the quality of life, providing the ability to live freely and comfortably, and/or permitting the access to information." Patterson, and his co-recipients, John Hennessy, Stephen Furber, and Sophie Wilson, were cited "for contributions to the invention, development, and implementation of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) chips." Patterson began the seminal Berkeley RISC project in 1980 to design a basic, neutral, freely-available set of microprocessor instructions that could be used in different types of machines and which could be optimized for different characteristics, like efficiency, physical size, and monetary cost. When different devices are capable of running the same machine code, a better quality, higher-performance machine can replace a less expensive, lower-performance machine without having to replace software. The open-source Berkeley RISC design was later commercialized by Sun Microsystems as the SPARC architecture, and inspired the ARM architecture used in virtually all new computer chips in the world today. The biennial Draper prize is open to both NAE members and non-members worldwide, and comes with a $500K cash award.

Anantha Chandrakasan wins 2022 IEEE Mildred Dresselhaus Medal
EECS alumnus Anantha Chandrakasan (B.S. '89/M.S. '90/Ph.D. '94, advisor: C. V. Ramamoorthy), has been awarded the 2022 IEEE Mildred Dresselhaus Medal. The award recognizes "outstanding technical contributions in science and engineering, of great impact to IEEE fields of interest." Chandrakasan, who is currently an EECS professor at MIT and the dean of the MIT School of Engineering, was cited for his “contributions to ultralow-power circuits and systems, and leadership in academia and advancing diversity in the profession.” He spearheaded a number of initiatives that opened opportunities for students, postdocs, and faculty to conduct research, explore entrepreneurial projects, and engage with EECS. These programs include “SuperUROP,” a year-long independent research program that provides tools for students to do publication-quality research; the Rising Stars program, an annual event that convenes graduate and postdoc women for the purpose of sharing advice about the early stages of an academic career; and StartMIT, an independent activities period class that provides students and postdocs the opportunity to learn from and interact with industrial innovation leaders. Chandrakasan is also known for his leadership of the MIT Energy-Efficient Circuits and Systems Group, whose research projects have addressed security hardware, energy harvesting, and wireless charging for the internet of things; energy-efficient circuits and systems for multimedia processing; and platforms for ultra-low-power biomedical electronics. He also serves as co-chair of the MIT–IBM Watson AI Lab, the MIT-Takeda Program, and the MIT and Accenture Convergence Initiative for Industry and Technology, and chairs the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium.

Info zu Further Conversations With Myself (Remastered)
The idea for this album is an extension of the idea behind an album Bill made four years ago, called, Conversations With Myself. Rarely has an album been so well named. In it, Bill became a trio--recording one piano track and then, using headphones, adding a second track, then a third. The mere conception is enough to clear all eight sinus passages. The album itself was impossibly good and is acknowledged to be one of the most stunning ventures ever recorded.
“Conversations with Myself is a 1963 album by American jazz musician Bill Evans. Recording with Glenn Gould's piano, CD 318, at studio sessions on February 6 and 9, and May 20, 1963, Evans used the then controversial method of overdubbing three different yet corresponding piano tracks for each song.”
"Garnering a 5 star review from Downbeat in 1963, and a Grammy, Conversations With Myself was an instant classic for the jazz community. Evans work on the ten tunes included here is truly inspired and amazing to behold. In each song, it is as if three distinctive "sides" or "personalities" of Bill Evans are playing together...each keenly aware of what the others are doing, and perhaps more importantly, will do. Evans' amazing musical comprehension is given center stage while running through classic jazz sides like "'Round Midnight," "Stella By Starlight" and "Just You, Just Me." "Blue Monk" showcases a muscularity to Evans' playing that he rarely displayed, while the "Love Theme From Spartacus" showcases Evans' signature use of space, time and inference.” (AllAboutJazz)
"For Bill Evans' second solo record of unaccompanied but overdubbed piano solos, he decided to simplify the concept used in Conversations with Myself (which had him playing three pianos) by only playing two this time. The program is brief, but Evans plays quite well throughout. In particular, his versions of Johnny Mandel's "Emily" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" are most memorable. A thoughtful and (despite the overdubbing) spontaneous-sounding set of melodic music." (Scott Yanow, AMG)

Things Are Simple
is an internationally recognized five-string banjo life force. As a performer, teacher, writer and composer, he brings a deep knowledge, intense virtuosity and contagious passion to all things banjo, with thousands of music fans and banjo students from all over the world in a music career that now spans over thirty-five years.
Bill's banjo artistry is best experienced in live performance and on his recordings Fine Times At Fletcher's House with Fletcher Bright (2013), In Good Company (2012), let's do something with Megan Lynch (2009), Bill Evans Plays Banjo (2001) and Native and Fine (1995). Bill successfully bridges traditional and contemporary sounds and playing techniques, creating a new music that is firmly within the bluegrass tradition but draws upon a broad knowledge of classical, jazz and world music, drawing upon his experiences as a graduate student in Music at the University of California, Berkeley and as the associate director of the International Bluegrass Music Museum.
Bill is also an expert player of mid-19th century minstrel banjo and late 19th and early 20th century classic banjo styles, authentically performing these styles on historical instruments. He brings all of these diverse musical performing interests together in his solo concert The Banjo in America.
In the last two years, Bill has toured throughout the United States, Canada, England, and Germany and toured Russia for the U. S. State Department. Recent appearances include A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor and performances with the San Francisco Symphony. From festival to folk society stages, to universities and performing arts centers, The Banjo in America has earned standing with a dazzling display of banjo artistry of unparalleled historical depth geared towards entertaining general audiences.
Bill is the author of Banjo For Dummies, the most popular banjo book in the world. Banjo For Dummies is now in its second edition and has been translated into French and Portuguese. This year, Bill is preparing a companion volume Bluegrass Banjo For Dummies. In addition, Bill hosts six critically acclaimed instructional DVDs for AcuTab Publications, Homespun Tapes and the Murphy Method and he is also the co-author of Mel Bay’s best-selling Parking Lot Pickers Songbook: Banjo Edition.
With banjo legend Sonny Osborne, Bill hosts the NashCamp Banjo Camp each fall in Fairview, Tennessee. Now in its 13th year, this camp is the premiere bluegrass banjo camp in the world and has featured J. D. Crowe, Jens Kruger, Bill Emerson, Ron Block, Kristin Scott Benson, Rob McCoury, Tony Trischka, Alan Munde, Ned Luberecki, Charlie Cushman, Pete Wernick and Frank Neat, among others.
Bill has also been a mainstay at many other banjo and bluegrass music camps over the last fifteen years, including multiple appearances at Sore Fingers Bluegrass Week (England), Bluegrass Camp Munich (Germany), the Midwest Banjo Camp (Michigan), Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Music Camp (Tennessee) and the California Bluegrass Association’s Music Camp.
Bill has probably taught more one-on-one banjo lessons than anyone else in the world. His list of students is impressive: Chris Pandolfi (The Infamous Stringdusters), Jayme Stone, Greg Liszt (Crooked Still, the Deadly Gentlemen), Wes Corbett and Erik Yates (Hot Buttered Rum.) However, Bill is equally adept at instructing the older adult learner whose goal is to have fun in a jam session or local band.
At any one time in his home near Richmond, California, Bill teaches between forty and sixty students, in addition to maintaining a steady international touring schedule. In addition, Bill teaches the most popular bluegrass ensemble classes in the San Francisco Bay Area at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse and he is on the faculty of the California Jazz Conservatory.

An Electrifying Oberon in Berlin
October 5, 2015 by Timothy Judd
Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826)
In the clip below, conductor Mariss Jansons leads the Berlin Philharmonic in a spectacular and rousing performance of the overture to the opera Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber.
Weber’s music contains some of the earliest seeds of Romanticism. His orchestration was new and innovative. It mixed tonal colors in exciting ways and expanded the size and power of the orchestra. (Notice the trombones, which were a relatively new addition at the time). Berlioz referred to Weber in his influential Treatise on Instrumentation and Debussy remarked that the sound of Weber’s orchestra was “obtained through the scrutiny of the soul of each instrument.” Weber’s opera Euryanthe anticipated Wagner’s Leitmotif technique, in which a short, recurring musical phrase is used to represent a character or idea. Even twentieth century composers returned to Weber’s music. (Listen to Paul Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis, which is based on themes by Weber).
The Oberon Overture begins with a distant horn call and slowly awakening strings. Listen to the harmony at 1:15 and you’ll be reminded of yet-to-be-written Wagner. A few moments later at 1:33, we hear the playful laughter of Richard Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks. And then, after this sleepy and introspective opening, the music suddenly explodes into a fireball of virtuosity. A cast of characters comes alive through the instruments of the orchestra. The overture, which began so quietly, ends in a high-flying flourish of euphoria.
Oberon was first performed at London’s Covent Garden on April 12, 1826. The three act Romantic opera’s plot dates back to a medieval French story, Huon of Bordeaux. You can hear Maria Callas sing an excerpt from the opera here.

Elgar’s Second Symphony at the 2015 Proms
August 12, 2015 by Timothy Judd
The BBC Proms are in full swing in London. The annual summer series, featuring over 70 concerts at Royal Albert Hall, has been a magnet for music lovers since 1895 when the British Empire stretched across the globe. It’s a joyful and inclusive cultural event that wipes away any hint of pretension. In addition to reserved seating, inexpensive standing-room tickets are sold, inspiring one conductor to describe the Proms as, “the world’s largest and most democratic music festival.”
On September 12, the festival culminates with the iconic Last Night of the Proms, a unique event which blends stately British pomp and circumstance with the noisy, boisterous atmosphere of a slightly rowdy party. Here is a clip of Sir Edward Elgar’s arrangement of Charles Hubert Hastings Parry’s patriotic hymn, Jerusalem (a setting of the poem by William Blake), from the 2012 Last Night of the Proms.
A few weeks ago, Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé Orchestra presented an exhilarating performance of Elgar’s Second Symphony at the Proms. Before each movement, in the clip below, Elder outlines the work’s autobiographical origins. Completed in 1911, the Symphony is outwardly dedicated to King Edward VII, who died the previous year. Elgar’s close friend and confidant Alice Stuart-Wortley and the death of another friend, Alfred E. Rodewald, seem to have provided deeper inspiration. In the score, Elgar makes a passing reference to Tintagel on the rugged coast of Cornwall in Southwestern England. It’s a location which similarly inspired Arnold Bax (1883-1953) to write this tone poem. The other significant extramusical reference in the score is a quote from Song, one of Shelley’s final poems, written in 1822:
Rarely, rarely, comest thou, Spirit of Delight!
Wherefore hast thou left me now
Many a day and night?
Many a weary night and day
‘Tis since thou art fled away.
These are all interesting autobiographical details…clues to what was going on in Elgar’s mind as he wrote the Second Symphony. But put all of this aside, and you have pure music that stands on its own without a program. In the end, these details are not what make this music truly great.
Elgar’s Second Symphony is constructed with small motivic cells which seem to be restlessly and persistently searching for a way forward. These musical building blocks combine to create music which unfolds over the long arc of time. Dense chromatic harmony occasionally teeters on the edge of losing a tonal center. It’s a celebration of orchestral virtuosity, regal English majesty, and upward sonic sweep. The end of the first movement almost seems to take flight. But there are also moments where we suddenly find ourselves in a haunting and more intimate landscape. These unguarded, and sometimes troubling, glimpses of truth seem always to be lurking beneath the surface. The calm repose at the conclusion of the final movement is one of these moments. It’s not the triumphant climax we might have been expecting, but it’s the only way this symphony could have ended.
Allegro vivace e nobilmente 2:27
Larghetto 21:55
Rondo 38:05
Moderato e maestoso 48:46

A La Bohème Masterclass
April 24, 2015 April 24, 2015 by Timothy Judd
Opera, with its rich blend of music, drama and staging, is one of the most complex art forms on the planet. If you’ve ever been curious about the myriad of subtle details that singers encounter as they bring an opera scene to life, watch the clip below from a young artists’ workshop at London’s Royal Opera House. Conductor Sir Mark Elder coaches soprano Susana Gaspar and tenor Michel de Souza in Marcello and Mimì’s duet from Act 3 of Puccini’s lushly romantic La Bohème. Along the way, we gain insight into Puccini’s music.
La Bohème doesn’t open with an overture. Instead, a sudden, exhilarating burst of energy launches us into the first scene set in Marcello and Rodolfo’s modest and chilly flat. As Elder mentions, this music originated in Puccini’s student composition (and Milan Conservatory thesis), Capriccio sinfonico. The first Act culminates with the intimate duet, O soave fanciulla, sung here by Teresa Stratas and José Carreras in a 1982 Met production.
Watching great singers up close is a reminder that opera singing, by nature, is an athletic endeavor. A tremendous physical effort is made to look easy. In this respect, there’s a side of opera that is pure sport. But, in this masterclass, Mark Elder takes us beyond the mechanics and challenges us to hear the small details that make the drama of La Bohème come alive:

Hiring the Congress Hall
Founded by its artistic director and chief conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra debuted in 1989. The orchestra‘s activities began during the years of the national revival of the late 1980s and have evolved in parallel with the history of the re-established independence of Lithuania. It is thus no coincidence that its first name was the Youth Symphony Orchestra: a young state, young musicians, a young conductor, and great hopes for the future. Although three years later the orchestra was conferred the prestigious title of the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, the musicians and their artistic director have been faithful to their youthful traditions.
30 January 1989 – the very first concert of the orchestra at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre – is still alive in the memories of several generations of music lovers. The theatre with a seating capacity of a thousand seats could not accommodate all those who wished to be there, and ingenious students sneaked into the theatre through the restroom window. An orchestra of young and student musicians, and their conductor, Gintaras Rinkevičius, who was also just twenty-eight years old... The opening sounds of the symphonic poem Miške (In the Forest) by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, the expressive gestures and astounding energy of the young conductor mesmerized the audience and made the music sound somewhat different and vibrant. The breath-taking sparkling forte, the subtle and sentimental lyricism, and outbursts of emotion – it was so unusual, bold, and strong… Everyone in the audience realised they were witnesses to a historic evening. It was a time of courage and resolve.
Gintaras Rinkevičius and his orchestra became one of the symbols of the young state and of the renewal of its agitated society. The programmes of the orchestra were like repertoire explosions in the musical life of the capital. The ambitious conductor introduced the Lithuanian public to then unheard-of monumental works: Wagner’s Parsifal, Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius, Honegger’s Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher (Joan of Arc at the Stake), Walton‘s Belshazzar's Feast, and Mahler’s complete symphonies.
For its first ten years in existence the orchestra led a student-like life: with no roof over its head it would perform at different venues, yet the loyal audience would follow it everywhere. At last, in 1999, Rinkevičius’s determined efforts yielded results and the orchestra acquired its home, the Congress Hall in Vilnius. Although the original purpose of the building had nothing to do with music, concert goers came to love the new musical space. Youth, novelty, freshness, and the conductor’s charisma attracted the interest of a wider audience, and today one can see a great number of young couples, students, businesspeople, and teenagers here. The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra has become trendy. This is also thanks to the orchestra’s repertoire, which, alongside classical music, features the music of such rock bands as the Electric Light Orchestra, Queen, and Pink Floyd.
An important field in the orchestra’s activities is production of operas (Pagliaccio, La Boheme, The Magic Flute, Werther, Sweeney Todd, Eugene Onegin, Katya Kabanova, Cossi fan Tutti, Jonas ir Greta (Hansel and Gretel), Il Trovatore, Pelléas et Mélisande, and Tosca) by the theatre director Dalia Ibelhauptaitė. She rallied young singers into an informal movement of the ‘Bohemians’ which eventually was granted the formal status of Vilnius City Opera. Concert performances of operas – Wagner’s Parsifal, Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra, Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, and Julius Juzeliūnas’s Žaidimas (A Game) – have become exceptional events in the country’s musical life.
Every year the orchestra has concert tours in European countries. It has played under the baton of such outstanding conductors as Nikolai Alekseyev, Young-Min Park, Brian Schembri, Martynas Staškus, Modestas Pitrėnas, Julius Geniušas, Martinš Ozolinš, Fabrice Grégorutti, Charles Olivieri-Munroe, and Marc Tardue. The orchestra has performed with a multitude of famous musicians: pianists Petras and Lukas Geniušas, Nikolai Petrov, Alexander Paley, Ekaterina Mechetina, Gintaras Januševičius, Andrius Žlabys, and Katia Skanavi; violinists Gidon Kremer, Liana Isakadze, Dalia Kuznecovaitė, Sergei Malov, and Vadim Repin; cellists David Geringas, Alexander Knyazev, Sergei Antonov, Vytautas Sondeckis, and Denis Shapovalov; the trumpeter Sergei Nakaryakov, singers Violeta Urmana, Mikhail Kazakov, Irena Milkevičiūtė, Vladimiras Prudnikovas, Sergei Larin, and Edgaras Montvidas, and other prominent Lithuanian singers of different generations. The orchestra has performed with the Moscow Trio, the Kaunas State Choir, the state choir ‘Latvia’ and many other Lithuanian and foreign performers of classical, popular, and rock music.
The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra pays considerable attention to its educational mission of acquainting the listener with professional music art of the highest calibre, and of contributing to the spread of musical ideas. Every year it builds up a wide-ranging repertoire, introduces exceptional programmes, and invites young talent to perform along with outstanding and recognized soloists. The youngest concert goers are thrilled by the orchestra’s special educational programmes for children with the participation of theatre actors and circus artistes.

“Something Old, Something New” is the theme of Asian Heritage Night In Queens 2014. The event was held on May 13 from 7:00pm to 9:30pm in Flushing Town Hall.
Asian Heritage Night celebrates the month of May as congressionally recognized Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and shared and created more awareness of Asian-American culture. More importantly it passes on Asian-American culture to future generations.
The event was hosted by Asian Cultural Federation (ACF), Flushing Chinese Business Association (FCBA), Flushing Town Hall, Hindu Center, Hindu Temple Society, Korean American Association of Queens (KAAQ), New York Chinese Chorus, Pilipino American Unity for Progress (UNIPRO), and Taiwan Center.
The performance by Young Ok Hong and Young Ae Ma “ARIRANG” was hosted by the Korean American Association of Queens. The Korean American Association of Queens has been the main representative body for Korean-American residents in Queens for decades, and is the umbrella group for over 30 of the community’s largest non-profit organizations including Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York and the Korean American Family Service Center.
Taiwan Center hosted the performance “May Tears Become The Longing Rain / As I Open Up The Door Of My Heart.” Founded in 1986, the Taiwan Center is the first community center established by Taiwanese-Americans through private donations in Flushing, Queens. The facilities include a 280-seat auditorium, a conference room, a library, a reading room, and an office where cultural and educational classes are offered.
Hindu Temple Society hosted the “Indian Dance Performance.” The Hindu Temple Society of North America (“Society”) is a non-profit religious institution and was incorporated on January 26, 1970, under the laws of the State of New York. Soon thereafter, the Society acquired from the Russian Orthodox Church a site on which the present Temple is situated. It was in this small frame house that daily rituals were performed and weekend services were conducted by volunteer priests, until the present structure, designed in accordance with the Agama Shastras (scriptures relating to temple building), was completed early in 1977, and the Temple consecrated on July 4 of the same year.
Hindu Center hosted the performance “Bharatnatyam Dance.” The Hindu Center was incorporated in May 1966, as a non-profit organization, to spread the teaching of the Hindu religion, to bring the community together, and to ensure continuous flow of the rich culture, great traditions, and incomparable heritage of its members.
Pilipino American Unity For Progress hosted the performance “Philippine Dance Through The Ages.” Pilipino American Unity for Progress is a New York City-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2009 comprised of young professionals and students. Bonded by the common vision of promoting unity within the Pilipino Community, UniPro seeks to educate, collaborate, and stimulate dialogue among Pilipino-American organizations, programs, and institutions. UniPro also engages in various projects that promote the Pilipino community in American Society.
New York Chinese Chorus hosted the performance “Chrysanthemums Terrace / Becoming Butterflies.” The New York Chinese Chorus was formed in October 2009 with the support of New York City Councilmember Peter Koo, and has performed for the Flushing Lunar New Year Celebration, at Lincoln Center and for the Queens Botanical Garden. Its members come from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and their mission is to promote cultural exchange in the local community.
Asian Cultural Federation performed “Lion Dance” as an opening and closing of the event. The Asian Cultural Federation is a non-profit organization that promotes and fosters traditional Asian cultural arts. This preservation and continuity is made possible with the expansion of the rich cultural values within the community through the youth and volunteer work. They hope to achieve the spread of cultural awareness by encouraging the younger generation to participate in community service.
It was so amazing to see different Asian groups come together and exchange cultural values. Every culture has something unique to share. It was an extremely meaningful event that no one should miss. Hope to see you there next year.

Crime Brooklyn Boro
Two convicted in computer hacking scheme that led to $30 million in profits

Two defendants, one from Brooklyn, were convicted on all counts for an international computer hacking and securities fraud scheme where they nearly made off with $30 million in profits before being indicted.
Vitaly Korchevsky, a former hedge fund manager, and Vladislav Khalupsky, a securities trader who lives in Brooklyn, were convicted on Friday in front of U.S. District Court Judge Raymond J. Dearie after a four week trial, and each faces up to 20 years in prison at sentencing.
Between Feb. 2010 and Aug. 2015, the pair gained unauthorized access into three business newswires and stole unpublished press releases that contained non-public information, and used that information to make trades that generated $30 million in illegal profits.
“The defendants teamed up with cybercriminal co-conspirators to hack pre- distribution press releases and then traded in the stock market based on that stolen information, making massive profits as a result,” stated U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Richard P. Donoghue.
The duo hacked the networks of Marketwired L.P., PR Newswire Association LLC, and Business Wire, through a series of cyberattacks. Once they gained access to the networks, they stole press releases about upcoming announcements by public companies concerning earnings, revenues and other non-public information. They stole more than 100,000 press releases in total, according to court documents.
Korchevsky and Khalupsky had to act quickly to properly monetize their ill-gotten press releases before the information became public. The material gained from these press releases contained information about companies that included Hewlett Packard, Home Depot, Panera Bread, and Caterpillar Inc.
“Conspiring with hackers overseas, Korchevsky and Khalupsky worked swiftly to trade on stolen press releases, illegally profiting millions of dollars,” said William F. Sweeney, Jr., assistant director-in-charge of the FBI’s New York field office.
“Such a massive criminal operation called for massive cover-ups, but their attempts to cover their tracks were done in vain,” Sweeney continued. “Devoting much time to the execution of this sneaky scheme, upon sentencing, the defendants will now rightfully face time in prison.”
During the trial, prosecutors were able to successfully convince a jury that the duo used separate phones, computers and hotspots to conduct their illegal scheme and routinely deleted emails or destroyed hardware that contained evidence. Their illegal profits were often routed back to their personal accounts and some went to offshore shell companies through their criminal network.

Spike Lee’s Vietnam Movie ‘The 5 Blood’ Drops Trailer – Various
Netflix has released the official trailer for Oscar-winning director Spike Lee’s new movie “The 5 Bloods”.
The movie features four veteran tales of Paul (Delroy Lindo), Otis (Clark Peters), Eddie (Norm Lewis) and Melvin (Isaiah Whitlock, Jr.) who return to Vietnam in search of the cemetery and his remains. Connected with Paul’s son (Jonathan Majors), the four vets embark on an adventure that helps them cope with their injuries.
Other cast members include Melania Thierry, Paul Walter Hauser, Jasper Pakkenen, Johnny Tree Nugayan, Van Veronica Engo and Jean Reno.
The trailer flashed between vintage footage of the Vietnam War and four veterans touring their repatriated country, serving as the Chamber Brothers’ iconic “Time Came Today” theme song. One scene of friends is shown as a young soldier in battle, and is being danced in a club with “Apocalypse Now” meaning playing in the background. Clips of war protests, Nixon’s resignation speech, and their buried treasure hunters all end with two minutes and 30 seconds of fists rising in the air throughout the trailer.
Lee won his first Academy Award in 1920 for his adaptive screenplay for “Blackclash Clansman”, which also had nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. Her film credits include “Do the Right Thing,” “She’s Here It Is,” “The 25th Hour,” and “Malcolm X.”
“The 5 Bloods” premiered on Netflix on June 12th.

Graycliff Capital Enters Triangle Market with Encore at Heritage, Upscale Multi-Family Development in Wake Forest
by GroundBreak Staff Report on September 1, 2021
Greenville (S.C.)-based Graycliff Capital Partners, LLC (Graycliff Capital), a leading developer/owner in the multi-family sector, announces the development of Encore at Heritage Apartments – Luxury Apartment Homes in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Graycliff has developed multiple luxury apartment communities throughout the Carolinas in recent years, however, Encore at Heritage Apartments marks the firm’s first multi-family investment in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro area. The 100-percent elevator served mid-rise is conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from downtown Raleigh.
Situated within the Heritage neighborhood of Wake Forest, Encore at Heritage Apartments is a 182-unit, Class-A residential community offering studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The community is sited along a 10-foot-wide paved asphalt trail known as the Smith Creek Greenway, a mile-long pedestrian trail with a 33-mile connection to the City of Raleigh’s Neuse River Greenway Trail.
“This particular site in Wake Forest is an ideal location for a high-end, multi-family community. With its quick commute to key areas of the Triangle, its walkability to essential services, and excellent school district, the property is suited for small families, married couples, young professionals and empty nesters alike,” said Paul Aiesi, partner at Graycliff Capital. “We look forward to becoming a part of the Triangle community.”
Encore at Heritage Apartments offers ready access to major employers, including WakeMedHealth & Hospitals, IBM, and Pfizer, as well as neighborhood retailers including Chik-Fil-A, Starbucks and Wegmans. The region is expected to continue its upward trajectory of growth as evidenced by Apple’s recently unveiled plans to build a campus and engineering hub in Wake County’s Research Triangle. This alone will bring more than $1 billion in investments and create at least 3,000 new jobs for the area.
Construction of Encore at Heritage Apartments has started and pre-leasing of units is expected to begin in late 2022.
More about Encore at Heritage Apartments
Encore at Heritage Apartmentswill consist of three residential buildings, all elevator served. Community amenities include a resort-style pool and a clubhouse featuring unique lounging spaces with bar-area seating, as well as fitness center with cycling room. Other common amenities include community fire pit, grilling stations, and dog park. Designed with high-quality finishes, all units include full kitchens with granite countertops and extended bar-seating countertops. Other special features include ‘faux-wood’ luxury vinyl plank flooring, walk-in showers and walk-in closets (select units), in-home washers and dryers, and private balconies.
Encore at Heritage Apartments will be operated by Greystar, a global property management firm with significant regional experience in the Raleigh market.
Graycliff Capital in the Carolinas and Beyond
Graycliff’s newest development in the Carolinas, Encore at Heritage Apartments in Wake Forest, N.C., supports the needs of the fast-growing Triangle region of the state, known for its robust regional economy focusing on higher education, life sciences and technology.
In addition to Encore at Heritage Apartments, Graycliff’s recent and current coastal developments include Waterleaf at Leland near Wilmington, North Carolina; Waterleaf at Murrells Inlet in South Carolina; and Waterleaf at Battery Creek in Port Royal, South Carolina. Graycliff continues to identify opportunities for new communities within the Carolina markets, which are experiencing a significant in-migration population boom. The migration to the coast is driven by its moderate climate, diverse economy, and abundant lifestyle amenities – attracting both millennials and baby boomers alike to relocate.
Graycliff has developed multiple luxury apartment communities across the Carolinas in recent years, including three popular Upstate South Carolina developments – Cotton Mill Apartments and Waterleaf at Neely Ferry in Simpsonville, and Waterleaf at Keys Crossings in Greenville. Recent acquisitions include Reserve at Asheville in western North Carolina, and The Ironwood Apartments in North Augusta, S.C.
Over the past decade, Graycliff’s geographic reach has extended beyond the Carolinas to other parts of the Southeast, including Tennessee. Graycliff’s portfolio also includes multi-family communities in the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as Ohio and Pennsylvania. In 2020, Graycliff entered the Salt Lake City (Utah) market with two acquisitions.

/ Airports / U.S. Department of Transportation Announces $76 Million in Airport Improvement Grants
U.S. Department of Transportation Announces $76 Million in Airport Improvement Grants
Parul Dubey on February 23, 2021 - in Airports, Financial, News
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation today announced three grants for infrastructure projects through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FY2021 Airport Improvement Program. The grants, the first of approximately $3.2 billion in funding available through this program annually, will provide a total of $76 million to Chicago O’Hare International, Dallas-Fort Worth International and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airports.
“Modernizing our nation’s infrastructure is a top priority for President Biden’s economic agenda, and the Airport Improvement Program allows airports nationwide to upgrade and improve the safety of their facilities,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. “These improvements—at some of our nation’s busiest airports—will serve our communities and the traveling public as we start to build our country back better.”
The three airports are receiving funds under the terms of Letters of Intent previously issued by the FAA, committing to a schedule of grant funding spread over multiple fiscal years. Grant awards include:
Chicago O’Hare International will receive $25 million to reimburse the airport for the construction phase of Runway 9C/27C that includes site utilities, grading and pavement work. Runway 9C/27C was commissioned on November 5, 2020.
Dallas-Fort Worth International will receive $31 million to construct 10,200 feet of the Northeast end around taxiway system to eliminate the need for aircraft to cross active runways. The taxiways are expected to be completed in September 2025.
Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International will receive $20 million to reimburse the airport for the extension of Runway 10R/28L to 8,000 feet. The extension allows higher service volume of aircraft and reduce delay of the existing traffic. The Runway 10R/28L extension was completed and commissioned on September 18, 2014, and all related improvements were completed in September 2015.
“Each airport project provides a benefit to the National Airspace System through safety and capacity enhancement,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson. “As a former airline pilot, I can attest firsthand that the traveling public are best served when the system handles demand without unnecessary delays.”
The Airport Improvement Program grants fund airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, airport signage, airport lighting and airport markings. Annually, the grant program is funded for approximately $3.2 billion. These are the first three grants of more than 1,500 grants to hundreds of U.S. airports that the FAA will issue this year.
A complete listing of grants (PDF) and an interactive map of airports receiving funding is maintained on the FAA website.

Laura Poitras and Amy Goodman to Receive I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence
Amy Goodman Bill Kovach CITIZENFOUR Democracy Now! Edward Snowden I.F. Stone I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence Laura Poitras
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Filmmaker Laura Poitras is winner of the 2014 I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence, awarded each year by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard. Amy Goodman, host and executive producer of “Democracy Now!,” also has been selected to receive a special I.F. Stone lifetime achievement award. The two journalists will be honored at a ceremony at Harvard University on February 5, 2015.
Poitras, a Berlin-based American documentary film director, journalist and artist, is co-founder of First Look Media’s The Intercept. She was chosen for the I.F. Stone Medal in recognition of her reporting exposing the massive illegal NSA surveillance program disclosed by whistleblower Edward Snowden, which is the subject of her new film CITIZENFOUR. The documentary is the third and final film in her trilogy about post-9/11 America. The first film, My Country, My Country, focused on the Iraq War and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2007. The second, The Oath, about Guantanamo, was nominated for two Emmy Awards.
In June 2013, Poitras traveled to Hong Kong with reporter Glenn Greenwald to interview Edward Snowden. She has reported on Snowden’s revelations about the NSA for a variety of news outlets, including The Guardian, Der Spiegel and The New York Times. Her NSA coverage has received a George Polk Award for National Security Reporting, the Henri Nannen Prize for Services to Press Freedom, and contributed to the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for public service awarded to The Guardian and The Washington Post.
In recognizing Poitras’s contributions to journalism, the nominating committee noted: “Her films address complex political realities through deeply moving personal stories, allowing viewers to connect emotionally to otherwise abstract issues. Her trademark is meticulous research and extensive filming.”
Poitras’s work has affected her own privacy and freedom of movement: She has been on security watch lists for years and estimates that she has been stopped and detained 40 times when entering the United States from abroad, underlining the significance of her coverage of national security and transparency issues.
In addition to honoring Poitras, the Nieman Foundation will present a lifetime achievement award to Amy Goodman, investigative journalist, author and longtime host and executive producer of “Democracy Now!” The nominating committee stated, “As a journalist and independent media advocate, Amy Goodman exemplifies the ethos of I.F. Stone. By insulating herself against commercial pressures, she has fought vigilantly for a free press and has ensured that her reporting would always be done in service of speaking truth to power.”
For her exemplary work on “Democracy Now!,” in print and on television and radio, she has won dozens of journalism’s most coveted awards and was the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award, known as an “alternative Nobel Prize,” for “developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media.”
Goodman started her college studies with the Harvard class of 1979 and graduated with the class of 1984.
“Democracy Now!” airs on more than 1,300 public and community television and radio stations around the world.
Former Nieman Foundation curator Bill Kovach, chair of the advisory committee that oversees the I.F. Stone award, said: “As always, the final decision of the selection committee was a difficult balancing act. The good news is that there are so many journalists out there producing independent journalism of verified fact. The bad news is that they must spend inordinate amounts of their time raising the money to support their work in the rapidly changing landscape of media ownership.”
Nieman curator Ann Marie Lipinski added, “I am grateful to Bill Kovach and the members of the advisory committee for their hard work on behalf of this prize. Nieman is honored to recognize and remind people of the journalism that I.F. Stone stood for.”
Established in 2008, the I.F Stone Medal honors the life of investigative journalist I.F. Stone and is presented annually to a journalist whose work captures the spirit of journalistic independence, integrity and courage that characterized I.F. Stone’s Weekly, published 1953-1971. The award is administered by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard and its Nieman Watchdog Project.
An advisory committee of journalists oversees nominations and the selection of an annual medal winner. The 2014 I.F. Stone Medal selection committee was chaired by journalist Bill Kovach together with author John R. (Rick) MacArthur, president and publisher of Harper’s Magazine, and Myra MacPherson, author of “All Governments Lie: The Life and Times of Rebel Journalist I.F. Stone.” The group made their selection from recommendations presented by prominent journalists including John Darnton, Patricia O’Brien, Don Guttenplan, Florence Graves, Lorie Conway and Melissa Ludtke.
The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard educates leaders in journalism and elevates the standards of the profession through special programs that convene scholars and experts in all fields. More than 1,400 accomplished and promising journalists from 93 countries have been awarded Nieman Fellowships since 1938. The foundation’s other initiatives include Nieman Reports, a quarterly print and online magazine that covers thought leadership in journalism; the Nieman Journalism Lab, a website that reports on the future of news, innovation and best practices in the digital media age; and Nieman Storyboard, a website that showcases exceptional narrative journalism and explores the future of nonfiction storytelling.

LOS ANGELES - Tennis Channel, the ATP World Tour (the governing body of men’s professional tennis) and its broadcast arm ATP Media have renewed their longtime telecast rights partnership, keeping the top tournaments in the sport on the network for years to come. The multiyear agreement includes 21 annual men’s Masters 1000 and 500-level events, among them March’s prestigious tournaments in Southern California and Miami, in addition to the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals (underway in London this week).
In 2015 these 22 events - stretching from early February to late November - accounted for more than 600 live matches and well beyond 1,000 hours of tennis, and routinely featured the sport’s most accomplished stars, with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and others. As part of the new agreement, Tennis Channel will add to its live coverage beginning in 2016, and will have exclusive television and authenticated-digital rights for all but four of the Masters 1000 and 500-level events.
“We are delighted to renew our long-term partnership with Tennis Channel as they provide an outstanding service to the tennis fan in the U.S.,” said Mark Webster, CEO, ATP Media. “Furthermore, we look forward to a superb collaboration to showcase the finest tennis players competing at the world’s most exciting venues.”
Tennis Channel has had a television partnership with the ATP World Tour since 2003, the network’s first year on air. With this renewal the channel will continue to provide more live men’s tennis coverage each year than all other U.S. broadcasters combined.
“Tennis Channel has been the television home of men’s tennis for more than a decade, and our partnership with the ATP World Tour has continued to expand over those years,” said Jeremy Langer, vice president, programming, Tennis Channel. “Center Court, our Los Angeles-based studio coverage of the ATP and WTA tours, has been a key innovation leading to record-breaking viewership in the U.S. at a time when other networks are experiencing significant audience erosion. The ATP World Tour recognizes our contribution to the health of the sport and, working with them, we’re really looking forward to enhancing their brand with more Hall of Fame studio talent and expert analysis, and remaining the year-round source of the best televised tennis in the world.”
The ATP World Tour assigns Emirates ATP Rankings points to each tournament, with events organized according to the total points their champions receive. Of the 22 tournaments in the rights renewal, the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals offers 1,500 points to its singles and doubles champions, the highest of any ATP sanctioned tournament. Tennis Channel’s agreement secures the rights to all nine Masters 1000-level tournaments: BNP Paribas Open (Indian Wells, Calif.), Miami Open presented by Itaú (Miami), Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters (Monaco), Mutua Madrid Open (Madrid, Spain), Internazionali BNL D’Italia (Rome), Rogers Cup (Montreal/Toronto), Western & Southern Open (Cincinnati), Shanghai Rolex Masters (Shanghai) and BNP Paribas Masters (Paris). In the case of the combined U.S. men’s and women’s competitions in Indian Wells, Miami and Cincinnati, Tennis Channel will also cover women’s WTA Tour matches, with the likes of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.
The 12 other tournaments under the extended partnership represent almost the entire ATP World Tour 500-level slate: ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Rio Open presented by Claro (Rio de Janeiro), Abierto Mexicano Telcel (Acapulco, Mexico), Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), Barcelona Open BancSabadell (Barcelona, Spain), Gerry Weber Open (Halle, Germany), Aegon Championships (London), bet-at-home Open (Hamburg, Germany), China Open (Beijing), Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Championships (Tokyo), Swiss Indoors Basel (Basel, Switzerland) and Erste Bank Open (Vienna). Tennis Channel has a separate agreement with the only other 500-level event, the Citi Open in Washington, and is the exclusive television and digital rights holder.
With the exception of Indian Wells, Miami, Montreal/Toronto, Cincinnati and five matches at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, Tennis Channel will be the exclusive television home for the ATP’s most important events in upcoming years. It will also be the only U.S. television network with digital coverage of these matches, via TV Everywhere authentication.
This week Tennis Channel is carrying extensive live coverage of the eight-day Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, one of the most exclusive competitions on the annual men’s calendar. Only the top-eight singles and doubles points earners of the year qualify for the tournament, which features a round-robin format with major champions battling one another throughout the week. The network is televising every match of the entire event via daylong live coverage and 12-hour nightly encores. In all, Tennis Channel has devoted 120 hours to showcasing its crowning event as the men’s season comes to an end.
Likewise, the channel will remain the television home of the annual March tournaments in Southern California and Miami, which are commonly referred to as tennis’ “Fifth Slams.” Only the four majors - Wimbledon, the US Open, French Open and Australian Open - have larger player fields than the Southern California and Miami events, and winning either of the two ranks high on players’ list of career accomplishments. In 2015 Tennis Channel devoted 185 live hours, and 510 overall, to coverage at these events, spread across 25 days of tournament play.
As Tennis Channel’s 2015 tournament lineup comes to a close, the network has had a season to remember from a ratings standpoint. Weekly audiences have been up by an average of 24 percent each week throughout the year, one of the best in network history.

& rebecca connelly
A double whammy of talented trios showcasing a treasure trove of killer original songs at the Dibble Tree Theatre, Carnoustie
Bringing passion & determination to all aspects of her music career, REBECCA CONNELLY won best female artist at the So Cal live music competition in Los Angeles where she lived for 8 years.
Her first EP "Days Like This" was recorded with Grammy Award Winning producer Justin Gariano and led to performances at the prestigious House of Blues in Hollywood and a tour of Scotland, including at the Rock 'n’ Roll Half Marathon in Edinburgh, the infamous Hootenanny in Inverness and the Perthshire Amber Music Festival.
Moving back to Scotland in 2013, Rebecca met her future husband and collaborator, session drummer Scott Burrell. The release of her second studio album "California" in February 2020, put Rebecca on the Scottish Singer-Songwriter map with her country/pop/folk inspired songs.
Completing the trio for this show, they'll be joined on bass by David MacFarlane.
DROPKICK was formed by brothers Andrew and Alastair Taylor and school friend Ian Grier in Arbroath on the east coast of Scotland. Starting off as a punk-pop band, the band discovered the music of The Jayhawks, The Byrds, Tom Petty and Wilco and their sound gradually matured into more of an alt-country style but without losing the upbeat, catchy melodies of their songs.
Since their self-titled and self-released debut album in 2001, Dropkick have released a further thirteen albums and three EPs, working with the support of labels in Spain and Sweden. During this time the band has had worldwide airplay including countless internet stations and podcasts alongside national coverage on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Wales in the UK, Radio Gothenburg in Sweden and in Spain on Radio Euskadi, Radio 3 and Onda Madrid. The band has performed regularly in the UK, including festival dates and headline tours. They've also ventured overseas, playing countless shows in Spain and Europe. Amongst existing classics they'll be airing a few songs from the new album "The Wireless Revolution" which will be released on 28th April.
Join us on Friday 23rd June at the fabulous Dibble Tree Theatre, Carnoustie for a real musical treat.

Scientific goals
Schematic showing the interactions between mineral aerosols and climate.
The PAGES working group on Dust Impact on Climate and Environment was active from 2014 to 2018.
Mineral dust aerosols, emitted through wind erosion, affect air quality, radiative forcing, precipitation, atmospheric chemistry, biogeochemistry, and human health over significant portions of the planet. In particular, natural and human contributions of aerosols and dust are critically important components of climate and Earth system dynamics. The emission patterns and transport and impact of aerosols on societies are almost certain to change under ongoing climate and environmental change, and it is thus, increasingly important to improve our understanding of the impact of dust on climate and environment.
Dust influences the radiative balance of the planet:
either directly by reflecting and absorbing solar and longwave radiation, or
indirectly by affecting cloud formation and precipitation patterns.
Mineral dust containing iron can also impact the marine biological carbon cycle by supplying micronutrients to regions of the ocean where iron-scarcity limits primary productivity, and thereby, affect the efficiency of the biological pump, a mechanism that could be important in driving ice age cycles. But not only does dust affect climate, it is also influenced by it: its production, atmospheric transport and deposition are sensitive to climatic conditions. It also acts as a tracer of continental conditions and atmospheric circulation. Records of past dust fluxes over local, regional and inter-hemispheric scales can indicate changes in the hydrological cycle, vegetation density or fine-grained sediment supply and can trace patterns of wind strength and direction.
The DICE working group focused on the climate impacts of dust and aerosols. Specifically, DICE aimed to transform our understanding of the link between aerosols, climate, dust and circulation by synthesizing results from paleo reconstructions and modern observations and integrating them in coordinated state-of-the-art modeling efforts, such as the climate model intercomparison project (CMIP5), which was incorporated in the IPCC AR5 WG1 assessment report.
DICE built on the successful work and established network of PAGES' working group Atmospheric Dust during the last glacial cycle: Observations and Modeling (ADOM), the focus of which was on understanding the dynamics and variability of large-scale atmospheric circulation from aeolian records of the last glacial cycle.

News Release 29-Sep-2020
Study reveals dietary fructose heightens inflammatory bowel disease

STONY BROOK, NY, September 29, 2020 - Diet remains an important part of disease prevention and management, and a new study suggests that consumption of fructose may worsen intestinal inflammation common to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Led by David Montrose, PhD, of the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, the study is currently published early online in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Rates of IBD have been increasing worldwide. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately three million Americans are diagnosed with IBD each year, up one million from incidence in the late 1990s. Consumption of a western diet, including fructose, is associated with increasing rates of obesity and diabetes, and IBD may be an additional disease exacerbated by fructose intake.
“The increasing incidence of IBD parallels higher levels of fructose consumption in the United States and other countries,” says Montrose, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and faculty researcher in the Stony Brook University Cancer Center. "Our findings provide evidence of a direct link between dietary fructose and IBD and support the concept that high consumption of fructose could worsen disease in people with IBD. This is important because it has the potential to provide guidance on diet choices for IBD patients, something that is currently lacking."
Montrose, along with colleagues at Weill Cornell Medicine, tested three mouse models of IBD. They were fed high amounts of fructose, which worsened colonic inflammation along with notable effects in their gut bacteria including changes in their type, metabolism and localization within the colon. Complementary mechanistic work demonstrated that the microbiota is causally linked to the detrimental effects of the high fructose diet.
The paper concludes that the "excess dietary fructose consumption had a pro-colitic effect that can be explained by changes in the composition, distribution and metabolic function of resident enteric microbiota."
Montrose says several next steps are planned to expand upon these findings. These include the development of interventions to prevent the pro-inflammatory effects of dietary fructose as well as evaluating whether this diet increases colitis-associated tumorigenesis. This second point is particularly important because IBD patients are at increased risk of developing colon cancer due to a lifetime of chronic inflammation of the gut.

Sensorium of Animals / KICKOFF WORKSHOP
Kick-off workshop
3 – 5 March 2016 | Critical Media Lab @ IXDM | Basel
A closed workshop was held in March 2016 at the Critical Media Lab at Academy of Art and Design in Basel. The workshop brought together a hand-selected group of leading researchers, technologists and artists working in the fields of sensory ecology, sensory augmentation, prosthetic and wearable art, wearable technology. The goal of the workshop was to provide the participants with a platform for exchange of experiences, sharing and generating new ideas and to form a network.
The host organization, the Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures (IXDM) is a research group and facility that carries out fundamental, practice-oriented research. The workshop supported the launch of our research project and was kindly supported by the SNSF (Swiss National Science Foundation).
The presentations shown at the workshop will be made available on this website. Please come back for an update in late June 2016.
TALK: Workshop introduction by Dr. Shintaro Miyazaki
Alvaro Cassinelli
Visiting Associate Professor at Nara Institute of Science and Technology, former leader of Meta-Perception Group at the Ishikawa-Komuro laboratory, specialized in Human-Computer Interfaces. My past research interests included fundamental/physical aspects of computing (optical computing, quantum computing), optical telecommunications, and artificial vision systems. My current interests lie in the area of human-computer interfaces for enhancing human communication and expression. I also enjoy applying the results of this research in my more personal works as a Media Artist.
TALK: Creating New Sensorial Abilities
Prof. Dr. Gerhard von der Emde
Professor for “Neuroethology and Sensory Ecology, University of Bonn”
Prof. Dr. Gerhard von der Emde and his group are studying the neural basis of animal behaviour and sensory perception (Neuroethology), as well as the adaptation of sensory systems to natural environments (Sensory Ecology).
“We are investigating how animals perceive their natural surroundings with their sense organs and how their brains process sensory information in order to elicit adequate behaviours.”
TALK: Orientation in the Dark. Electroreception of Weak Electric Fish.
Daniela Silvestrin
Daniela Silvestrin is an independent researcher, curator and cultural manager with a background in law, history of art and curatorial studies. In her research she explores hybrid artistic practices at the intersection of art, law and science that explore new ways of relating to vibrant materialities and “material agency”, driven by the emergence of critical political and ethical concerns in an era where techno-science increasingly impacts all life and blurs known distinctions between the human and non-human, life and matter. Her work critically reflects on the implications of new technologies, analyzed and discussed through the lens of artistic reflection and knowledge production. Her research has been awarded with the Working and Research Grant for Visual Arts 2015 by the Berlin Senate Chancellery for Cultural Affairs, Germany.
TALK: Making Sense: Subliminal perceptions of EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation)
Martin Howse
Martin Howse is occupied with an artistic investigation of the links between the earth (geophysical phenomena), software and the human psyche (psychogeophysics), proposing a return to animism within a critical misuse of scientific technology. Through the construction of experimental situations (within process-driven performance, laboratories, walks and workshops), material art works and texts, Howse explores the links between substance or materials and execution or protocol, excavating issues of visibility and of hiding within the world. For the last ten years he has collaborated on numerous open-laboratory style projects and performed, published, lectured and exhibited diversely.
TALK: (no title)
Selena Savić
Selena Savić is an architect, designer and researcher, interested in the design of infrastructures, their spatial and cultural implications. Selena received her PhD from EPFL, Lausanne and IST, Lisbon in 2015, with generous support from an FCT grant. Prior to joining the SINLAB research group at EPFL, Selena got a Master degree at Networked Media department at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and an engineering degree from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade.
Her work was exhibited at a number of festivals and exhibitions, as well as research symposia and scientific conferences. She regularly collaborates with designers, programmers, researchers, theatre directors and artists on hybrid practices which tend to render visible what is normally taken for granted.
TALK: Architectural-ity of wireless communication
Pedro Lopes
Pedro Lopes is a HCI researcher that works on muscle interfaces that read and write to the human body. Pedro’s work is a philosophical investigation of HCI as in Human-Computer Integration, rather than merely “Interaction”.
Pedro publishes at ACM CHI, UIST and IEEE Haptics, it has received the ACM Best Paper award for Affordance++, Best Talk and Best Demo nominations. His work captured the interest of media, such as MIT Technology Review, NBC, DiscoveryChannel, NewScientist or Wired.
Pedro is a believer on the unification of art and research, and he often gives talks about it [BodyControlled 2013, CampusParty 2013, AMAZE 2014, NODE 2015].
TALK: You as the interface: proprioceptive interaction
Barbara Nordhjem
As a researcher, I am based in the Visual Neuroscience group within the Laboratory of Experimental Ophthalmology at the University Medical Center Groningen. I am currently in the 4th year of my PhD. My PhD project is about visual information integration, and how we explore different possible interpretations during object recognition. I often use stimuli that takes time to recognize or can be interpreted in several ways – bistable images, objects that are gradually revealed from noise, and emergent images where recognition requires feature integration. I use eye tracking to study how visual information is sampled over time and when which image sections are inspected. My work also uses fMRI in combination with different techniques to model connectivity between occipito-temporal regions. Currently, I am studying differences in connectivity with connective field modeling, and changes in population receptive field sizes, before and after successful feature integration.
TALK: Visual recognition as a constructive process
Thomas Thwaites
Thomas Thwaites is a designer whose work examines the interaction of science, technology and culture in shaping our present society, and possible futures. He uses a broad range of media and techniques, from objects and installations, through film and text, and his work draws on research in a diverse range of subject areas; biology, economics, philosophy and materials science.His work has been acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum for their permanent collection, and is exhibited frequently and internationally, including at the National Museum of China, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, the Science Museum (London), and the Zero 1 Biennial (California).
TALK: Goat project
Dr. Jan Claas Van Treeck
Jan Claas van Treeck, finished his PhD 2014 in German Studies at Yale University and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in media studies at Humboldt University Berlin. His fields of research are human-machine-interactions, cyborgism, early german cybernetics, drone warfare and drone theory, military media, media archeology and systems theory.
He is currently working on a ‘Habilitation’ tentatively titled ‘Cyb/Org – operative und performative Systeme’. An active member of the Berlin-based Cyborgs e.V. he is also a cyborg activist and practitioner suffering from orthosclerosis (a hearing impairment) that will hopefully be improved by the replacement of his ossicles with titanium parts in the near future.
Joe Banks
Disinformation producer Joe Banks is also author of the book “Rorschach Audio – Art & Illusion for Sound”. Since the first “Rorschach Audio” publication in 1999, the project has expanded to encompass a much broader range of related phenomena, including a significant focus on ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, Hermann Helmholtz and Alan Turing. Disinformation is a sound, video and kinetic art project, which, since 1995, produced a series of highly influential experimental music and installation art works, using electromagnetic emissions – radio noise – intercepted and made audible from live mains electricity, lightning and magnetic storms, industrial machinery, communications and information technology hardware, electrical infrastructure, urban transport systems, and even the sun. Disinformation sound works have been published on LP and CD since 1995, performed live since 1996, and exhibited as gallery installations since 1997, with the project remaining continuously active ever since.
TALK: Disinformation
Anthony Hall
Antony Hall is a UK based artist, his interdisciplinary practice involves working with science, creating kinetic artworks and installations using fluid, mechanical, electronic or biological elements. His work is divided between his own practice and the artist collective ‘Owl Project’.
Hall has exhibited internationally at Galleries and Festivals including: Cité internationale des Arts in Paris, Dutch Electronic Arts Festival, CAAC Seville, Triple Base Gallery San Francisco, International Festival of Art/Science/New Technologies in Prague, Trondheim Electronic Arts Festival, Spectropia Festival Latvia, Cornerhouse Manchester, and A-Foundation.

Ruckus provides a smarter Wi-Fi experience to the AMEX stadium
SUNNYVALE, CA and LONDON – June 10, 2015 – Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (NYSE: RKUS) and The Cloud, a Sky company, announced today that the American Express Community Stadium (The AMEX) is providing an exceptional interactive user experience with the successful deployment of a Ruckus Smart WiFi network. For football club fans, as well as attendees of other events held at The AMEX, the new network provides spectators access to free, high-performance WiFi throughout the entire stadium.
Located in Falmer, Brighton, East Sussex, England (UK), The AMEX is one of the most modern stadiums in the UK. Home to the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club—the Seagulls, The AMEX seats approximately 35,000 people, hosting a variety of sporting events, concerts, conferences, and exhibitions. It has become one of the most popular meeting and events venues on the South Coast, regularly catering to conferences and some 23+ home soccer games a season. The AMEX will also host games during the upcoming 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Brighton & Hove Management Company – who manages The AMEX – made a strategic decision to expand WiFi connectivity beyond the corporate boxes and meeting venues to all areas of the stadium. The new Ruckus Smart WiFi network operated and managed for them by The Cloud is comprised of approximately 100 Ruckus ZoneFlex™ indoor and outdoor access points. It spans the Stadium’s stands, bars, concourses and press areas, improving the match day experience by giving Seagulls fans the ability to browse the web, tweet, bet in-play and use the Seagull’s new mobile app, which provides a live match score center, player profiles, exclusive manager and player interviews, and a range of other content. The new network has also helped streamline stadium operations using in-house apps, and augments expensive and often spotty 3G/4G cellular data service.
“Our fans want to get online–everything from catching up on scores to uploading videos from the stands. The ability to get online has become a big part of match day,” said Paul Barber, CEO at Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club. “For us, mobile is a great way of bringing the fans closer to the action and there’s an opportunity to expand on that in the future with competitions, games or other interactive tools. Having fast, free Internet across the ground is key to engaging with fans.”
Experts in building high capacity WiFi public networks, The Cloud is one of Europe’s biggest public WiFi providers, and the largest in the UK. It has worked on sporting projects similar to this at the home of English cricket (Lord’s) and motor racing (Silverstone), and was aware of the challenges presented by these types of deployments, and how to solve them. The Cloud had very stringent design requirements for The AMEX to address different usage, mobility, density and concurrent connectivity scenarios. These ranged from being able to consistently deliver 2 Mbps of wireless capacity to each user in high density environments for HD video streaming, to supporting four devices per 10 square meters and the ability to connect 50 percent of all users during a full stadium event.
How Smart Stadium WiFi is Done
The Cloud needed to provide The AMEX with a complete, turnkey, high-speed, high capacity, secure, free WiFi service that could deliver ubiquitous, strong signal coverage both indoors and out. The Cloud also required flexible deployment options—both wired and mesh, support for 10,000+ concurrent client connections, rich analytics and robust centralized management. Ruckus Smart WiFi has delivered on all counts. “Exceptional stadium WiFi is predicated on explicit control of WiFi signals and a smarter approach to RF design,” said Sami Susiaho, head of Edge Technologies for The Cloud. “With Ruckus, the results have been remarkable.”
Ruckus-patented BeamFlex™ adaptive antenna technology has enabled The Cloud to consistently deliver WiFi signal strength of -65dB or better throughout AMEX Stadium. “With high density WiFi, conventional wisdom is that more APs are better,” said Susiaho. “What’s really needed is a smarter and well thought through approach to signal propagation, because you simply can’t control what the client does. But with the right WiFi technology, you can control how the network interacts with clients to help ensure the best possible user experience.”
The Cloud has installed over 80 Ruckus ZoneFlex outdoor access points (APs) to the roof superstructure near the Stadium’s speakers, so as to ring the pitch space. Each AP has the capacity to service up to 200 users and designed to cover a block of 400 seats. As demand increases, the design gives The Cloud the ability to easily scale the network to support increased user engagement by simply adding more access points as, and when, required.
“We have worked extensively with Ruckus and have previously deployed some 40,000 APs all over Europe, so we know the quality and effectiveness of its technology,” added Susiaho. “We tested a dozen access points from different vendors, and it was simply no contest—Ruckus was the only one that was up for the job.”
Ruckus ZoneFlex carrier-class, outdoor access points are designed specifically to address high-density environments such as sports stadiums, where thousands of people are gathered together in close proximity. The access points at The AMEX are centrally managed using two Ruckus ZoneDirector™ 5000 controllers, with one located on each side of the Stadium, which provides easy and scalable network management for large-scale wireless environments like stadiums.
As part of managing The AMEX network, The Cloud is also utilizing the Ruckus SmartCell™ Insight (SCI) big data analytics platform. Ruckus SCI provides predictive analysis that The Cloud can use to determine future user behavior in order to stay ahead of data demand. In addition, The Cloud is able to quickly view and extract a myriad of important network performance data such as upstream and downstream traffic volumes by device and device type, RF channel capacity between APs and stations, access points with the greatest traffic volumes, and most importantly, the potential client throughputs.
Since deploying the Ruckus Smart WiFi infrastructure, The Cloud has reported that during a recent match they saw over 13,000 devices connect concurrently, consuming a staggering 600,000 minutes of online time and over 10,000 megabytes of data downloaded—more than twice the average match day use. “The network we’ve designed and deployed at The AMEX using Ruckus is a model for how to do WiFi right in high density environments. The RF design is spot on. It’s exactly what we predicted it would be. That’s the truth. I love the way this turned out,” concluded Susiaho.
American Express Community Stadium adds to the growing, impressive list of Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi high-density stadium and arena deployments around the world, including: the 45,483-seat Angel Stadium of Anaheim, home to Major League Baseball’s (MLB’s) Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim; the 74,738-seat Estádio Jornalista Mario Filho in Rio de Janeiro, better known as the Maracanã, the world-famous venue that hosted seven 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil matches last summer; three other 2014 FIFA World Cup venues in Brazil: Estádio Nacional de Brasília, a 69,349-seat stadium in Brasília; Arena Fonte Nova (aka Estádio Octávio Mangabeira), a 51,900-seat stadium in Salvador; and Arena Pantanal, a 41,112-seat multi-purpose stadium in Cuiabá, plus; Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Southern California; Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, NC; M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, a 70,000-seat facility in Chennai, India; Rio Tinto Stadium, a 25,000-seat venue in Salt Lake City, UT; Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany; and the 45,574-seat National Stadium (Estadio Nacional) of Lima, Peru, among many others.

Modi Government Is Looking To Secure Key Deals With France For Fighter Jets And Nuclear Submarines
S. Jaishankar, India’s External Affairs Minister, arrived in Paris on February 20 on a three-day visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and promoting cooperation in the Indo-Pacific area. Jaishankar spoke with his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, about bilateral cooperation, the Indo-Pacific, and the situation in Ukraine.
“Arrived in Paris. Held wide-ranging and productive talks with FM @JY_LeDrian. Discussions on bilateral cooperation, Ukraine situation, Indo-Pacific and JCPOA reflected our deep trust & global partnership. Look forward to participating in the EU Ministerial Forum on Indo- Pacific,” Jaishankar tweeted.
According to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs, Jaishankar and Le Drian praised India and France’s close cooperation during the COVID-19 pandemic and agreed to strengthen their strategic partnership, particularly in the areas of trade and investments, defence and security, health, education, research and innovation, energy, and climate change (MEA).
Both sides agreed on the India-France Blue Economy and Ocean Governance Roadmap, which will include institutional, economic, infrastructure, and scientific cooperation. With territory it has held since colonial times, France is a major European power in the Indo-Pacific. It has tried to expand its bilateral activities with regional maritime powers and through EU missions.
According to the statement, the two countries also agreed to strengthen their long-standing cooperation between their agencies dealing with public administration and administrative reforms.
Jaishankar and Le Drian also discussed crucial regional and global issues, such as India’s relationship with the EU and the aims of the French EU Council Presidency, which begins on January 1, 2022. The Indian foreign minister complimented France for hosting an EU Ministerial Forum on Indo-Pacific Cooperation on February 22, 2022, which he plans to attend with many other Indo-Pacific and EU ministers.
They also agreed to deepen India-EU ties during France’s presidency, as well as the need of beginning FTA negotiations with India and implement the India-EU Connectivity Partnership. During the EU Forum, the two ministers also decided to jointly launch the Indo-French appeal for a “Indo-Pacific Parks Partnership.”
Engines Developed in India
France is one of India’s most important strategic partners, and the two countries have strong defence ties. India has already placed an order for 36 Rafale fighter jets from France and is rumoured to be considering placing additional orders.
Jaishankar may hold talks with the French government regarding transferring technology to construct 100-kilonewton Safran aircraft engines in India as part of the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) programme, given the two countries’ growing defence cooperation.
The two countries’ engine development agreements have been in place for quite some time. In December of last year, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that France had agreed to jointly develop aircraft engines in India in order to boost the country’s defence industrial self-sufficiency.
Rajnath Singh then added, apparently alluding to the Safran group, that “a huge French company will produce an engine in India, which has not been made in India before,” in conjunction with an Indian firm.
As previously reported, France has also presented an attractive proposal to resume ambitions to develop the indigenous Kaveri jet engine as part of the Rafale arrangement. A detailed presentation was also provided on creating an aircraft engine ecosystem in India.
Safran, which makes engines and electronics for the Rafale fighter, has volunteered to collaborate on the Kaveri engine for India’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) programme, which currently uses GE engines.
According to Rajnath Singh, the Indian defence and aerospace market, which is currently valued at roughly $85,000 crore, would expand to $1 lakh crore in 2022 and $5 lakh crore by 2047.
HAL, India’s state-owned aircraft manufacturer, and Safran signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in early 2021, indicating their aim to work on bringing specialist engine technology to India. France has stated that India will be the only country to receive such advanced technology transfers, securing New Delhi’s entire “sovereignty” in the sphere of aero-engine technology.
France Offering Nuclear-Powered Submarines?
Due to shifting security dynamics in the Indo-Pacific, France is widely expected to offer to manufacture and jointly develop nuclear-powered conventional attack submarines in India.
Last year, the US, UK, and Australia declared the formation of a regional security collaboration, displacing Paris as its “traditional ally.” As part of the AUKUS collaboration, Australia will be given the technology and competence to deploy nuclear-powered submarines.
Despite the fact that this was a big loss for France, many analysts believed it was good news for India’s defence industry. It was claimed in December last year, during French Defense Minister Florence Parly’s visit to Delhi, that France had offered India its Barracuda nuclear assault submarine.
This is one of the most advanced military equipment provided to India, and it might provide the Indian Navy with a powerful maritime denial capacity in the Indian Ocean. Nuclear submarine technology is thought to be the peak of naval might.
Following the Rafale fighter jet purchase, this alleged French offer to provide nuclear submarine expertise to India has the potential to solidify France’s position as India’s top defence partner. Russia has traditionally maintained this position.
The Barracuda class submarines are nuclear-powered but not nuclear-armed. Despite this, the most lethal sea denial weapon is a Submersible Ship Nuclear (SSN) like the Barracuda. It can stay submerged for long periods of time while still having a strong land attack capability with the 1,000-kilometer-range Scalp Naval cruise missile. According to sources, it takes ten years between refuelings.
The Barracuda submarine is built by the Naval Group, which is currently producing six Scorpene-class diesel-electric submarines for the Indian Navy at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL) in Mumbai.
If the Barracuda plan is successful, it could have consequences for the Indian Navy’s current $5.7 billion Project 75 (I) submarine development programme. Foreign suppliers needing time to draught their proposals have already caused delays in the project. Russia just announced its withdrawal from the competition.

Olympex 2012: Collecting the Olympic Games
Around London – Bells…and more bells; Olympic memorabilia; free wifi in the West End; The Arch returns to Kensington Gardens; and, Impressionists at the RA…
by exploringlondon July 26, 2012 July 27, 2012
• It’s all about the Olympics in London this week and many of the events – like the Opening Ceremony and Torch Relay (see last week’s post) – are well covered elsewhere, but we thought we’d mention a couple of things in relation to the Games:
The first is the ‘All the Bells’ project which will see bells across London being rung at 8:12am on Friday to “ring in” the first day of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes, commissioned as part of the London 2012 Festival, is the brainchild of Turner Prize-winning artist and musician Martin Creed and will involve thousands of bells across the nation. Speaking of bells, the City of London has announced that some of the City’s churches will be ringing continuously during the three Olympic marathon events – the men’s, women’s, and Paralympic events. As many as 57 of the country’s most experienced bell ringers, co-ordinated by the Ancient Society of College Youths (a ringing society created in London in 1637) will be working for three to four hours continuously at churches including St Paul’s Cathedral, St Mary le Bow, St Lawrence Jewry, St Magnus the Martyr, St Vedast and St Katharine Cree. During the women’s marathon, an all-female band will be attempting a peal at St Paul’s, the first all-woman attempt on the bells. (Apologies, this article had originally had the time for the bell ringing at 8.12pm – it is in the morning, not the evening!)
A new exhibition exploring London’s Olympic history has opened at the British Library. Olympex 2012: Collecting the Olympic Games features a range of memorabilia including a swimming costume and the finishing tape broken by – later disqualified – marathon runner Dorando Pietri from the 1908 London Games (see our earlier post for more on him) as well as posters and artworks, stamps, letters and postcards. The exhibition also features audio interviews with Olympians including William (Bill) Roberts, a relay runner in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and Dorothy Tyler, a medal-winning high jumper who competed in the 1936 and 1948 Olympics. Presented by the British Library and International Olympic Committee, the exhibition runs until 9th September at the library in St Pancras. Entry is free. For more, see www.bl.uk.

• A new free wifi network has been launched in London’s West End. Westminster City Council and telco O2 launched the network this week. It will initially cover Oxford and Regent Streets, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Parliament Square with further areas in Westminster and Covent Garden the next to be included in the network. A once-only registration process is required to join.
• Henry Moore’s famous sculpture, The Arch, has been returned to its original home in Kensington Gardens. The six metre high work was presented to the nation by Moore in 1980 and was positioned on the north bank of the Long Water until 1996 when the structure became unstable and was placed in storage. In late 2010, the Royal Parks began a project with The Henry Moore Foundation to see if the work could be returned to the gardens. Work began to restore the piece – which consists of seven stones weighing 37 tonnes – to its original location earlier this year. For more on Kensington Gardens, see www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/kensington-gardens.
• On Now: From Paris: A Taste for Impressionism. This Royal Academy of Arts exhibition at Burlington House features 70 works from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and includes works by Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley, Morisot and Renoir as well as those of post-Impressionist artists Corot, Théodore Rousseau and J-F. Millet, and ‘academic’ paintings by Gérôme, Alma-Tadema and Bouguereau. Runs until 23rd September. Admission charge applies. See www.royalacademy.org.uk for more.

Kalahari Plains
Central Kalahari Reserve, Botswana
Situated on an immense pan, Kalahari Plains lies in a remote corner of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a place famed for vast herds of antelope followed by abundant predators – including the legendary black-maned Kalahari lions and feisty honey badgers. It also offers some of the best summer wildlife viewings in Africa. Game drives unlock wildlife treasures, while respectful San cultural experiences provide insights into their unique customs and traditions.
Eight canvas units (including one family unit) each include a sleep-out rooftop platform from which to enjoy the night skies. The camp, including its main area with pool and deck, takes in the sweeping, spacious views across the Kalahari. Solar power provides electricity and hot water, with innovative insulated canvas walls and roofs keeping the temperatures inside comfortable.
Kalahari Plains is involved in a number of conservation initiatives that include wild dog research and working closely with local communities.
About the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
The Bushmen, or San, have inhabited the lands for thousands of years since they roamed the area as nomadic hunters. However, since the mid-1990s the Botswana government has tried to relocate the Bushmen from the reserve, claiming they were a drain on financial resources despite revenues from tourism. In 1997, three quarters of the entire San population were relocated from the reserve, and in October 2005 the government had resumed the forced relocation into resettlement camps outside of the park leaving only about 250 permanent occupiers. In 2006 a Botswana court proclaimed the eviction illegal and affirmed the Bushmen's right to return to living in the reserve. However, as of 2015 most Bushmen are blocked from access to their traditional lands in the reserve. A nationwide ban on hunting made it illegal for the Bushmen to practice their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle, despite allowing private game ranches to provide hunting opportunities for tourists.
In 2014 a diamond mine operated by Gem Diamonds opened in the southeast portion of the reserve. The company estimated that the mine could yield $4.9 billion worth of diamonds. The Rapaport Diamond Report, a diamond-industry pricing guide, stated, "Ghaghoo's launch was not without controversy given its location on the ancestral land of the Bushmen".
A huge bush fire in and around the park in the middle of September 2008 burnt around 80 per cent of the reserve. The origin of the fire remains unknown.
This park contains wildlife such as giraffe, elephant, white rhinoceros, Cape buffalo, spotted hyena, brown hyena, honey badger, meerkat, yellow mongoose, warthog, cheetah, caracal, Cape wild dog, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox, cape fox, leopard, lion, wildebeest, zebra, eland, sable antelope, gemsbok, springbok, steenbok, impala, greater kudu, aardvark, cape ground squirrel, cape hare, cape porcupine, chacma baboon, red hartebeest and ostrich. The land is mostly flat, and gently undulating covered with bush and grasses covering the sand dunes, and areas of larger trees. Many of the river valleys are fossilized with salt pans. Four fossilized rivers meander through the reserve including Deception Valley which began to form around 16,000 years ago.

In 192 1, South Africa became the birthplace of Knight Piésold when Dr. Francis Edgar Kanthack set up as a consulting engineer, establishing F. E. Kanthack in Johannesburg. The company would come to change names a couple of times before taking its current name, but now, one hundred years later, Knight Piésold Southern Africa proudly remains as the oldest African owned engineering consultancy in the continent.
In the early days, the company provided predominantly civil engineering services to government and then moved into more private sector work, particularly mining work. Early clients included the South African Railways and Harbours, the Victoria Falls and Transvaal Power Company, the Electricity Supply Commission (Escom, now Eskom), the Anglo American Corporation, the Industrial Steel Corporation, various municipalities, and other industrial and mining companies.
In 1964, the name of the company changed to Watermeyer, Legge, Piésold and Uhlmann (WLPU), to reflect the partners at the time. The office at that time was located in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, a block away from Eskom, who was a major client. The company was involved in many Eskom power station projects over the years, comprising cooling towers, chimney stacks, and circulating water pump stations. Dr. Hans Uhlmann developed the thermodynamic theories necessary for the design of various Eskom and municipal power stations. He also led the firm’s Durban-Johannesburg oil pipeline project and developed the firm’s own slurry pumping computer program, necessary for the design of tailings dam slurry delivery pipelines.
Another key project for the company was the massive Phalaborwa Water Board project, in which the company acted as the lead design and construction engineer, and which extended from 1964 to 1985. The project involved a major gated barrage on the Olifants River, major water treatment plant extensions, and new pump stations and pipelines, and until today continues to supply water to local mines, factories, communities, residential areas, and business centres in and around Phalaborwa.
In the 1970s, when Eskom moved offices to Megawatt Park, the company followed them to a new office in Rivonia, north of Johannesburg. The partners at that time invested in the construction of their own office block in Rivonia, the T. C. Watermeyer Center, named after Tom Watermeyer.
Following the company’s appointment as the civil engineering consultant for the Morupule A coal-fired power plant project in Botswana, Knight Piésold (Pty) Ltd. (Botswana) was officially established in Gaborone in 1982. Since its inception, the practice has continued to successfully provide services to government, parastatal, and private business sectors in the region.
By 1990, there were also operations in the Southern African countries of Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. Phase I of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) was underway, with the construction of the Katse dam, the largest double-curvature concrete arch dam at the time, completed in 1996. Since 2017, the company has also become involved in the design and construction of the Polihali Transfer Tunnel, which forms part of Phase II of the LHWP.
In 1995, and with apartheid over, the South African practice joined the rest of the global group of companies and officially changed its name to Knight Piésold.
In the early 2000s, adjusting to the new government requirements in the country, the South African practice restructured its management and ownership. The transformation was challenging and groundbreaking; however, due to good leadership and the South African “can-do” spirit, the company adjusted to the circumstances and looked towards the future stronger than ever.
The company continued to grow, expanding its capability in the geotechnical field with an amalgamation with Knight Hall Hendry to establish the Pretoria office in 2003, and then merging with Kayad Consulting in 2010 to form the Cape Town office. In other parts of Africa, the company expanded into Namibia (2008) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2015) and took over the former Knight Piésold UK operation in Zambia (2014).
Today, Knight Piésold Southern Africa still designs and builds roads, dams, and other water projects, and has continued to be leaders in the hydropower sector and grown its environmental services. In the mining sector, the practice has expanded beyond tailings expertise into the infrastructure spectrum, offering structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydrogeology, and groundwater specialties. Recently completed mega projects include the award-winning 1,333 MW Ingula Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project and the 80-m-high Neckartal dam (roller compacted concrete dam).
“We are African at heart and we embrace the local cultures of any jurisdiction we operate in,” said Vishal Haripersad, regional manager of Knight Piésold Southern Africa. “This has resulted in the creation of one of the most progressive, fastest growing and diligent companies on the continent.”

St. Mark First Building View of church from 4th and Cedar Street Source: aaregistry.org Creator: African American Registry Date: 1869
One of the most influential churches in Bronzeville.
Milton C. Sernett argued that religious belonging was an elemental bond of group identity, with communities defining themselves around sets of religious beliefs, symbols, and rituals. African Americans have historically had a strong bond with religion. In Bronzeville, the presence of religious institutions was paramount. St. Mark A.M.E. is the oldest historically black congregation in Milwaukee. Founded in 1869, and initially being called First African Methodist Episcopal Church, it varied its physical locations over time to serve the needs of its congregation. From its first meeting being held in a rented room along what is now Wisconsin Avenue in 1869, St. Mark commissioned the first church constructed for an African American congregation in Wisconsin with its building on 4th and Kilbourn Avenue in 1887. As the Great Migration fostered an increase of African Americans moving to Milwaukee during and after World War II, the congregation of St. Mark would grow, fostering the move to a location on 11th Street near Reservoir Avenue in 1953. St. Mark’s combination of size, history, and influential congregation members made it a religious and social center for African Americans in Milwaukee.
The vast size of the congregation of St. Mark included members of various skills and social statuses. Vel Phillips, Milwaukee’s first alderwoman and the first African American on its Common Council, was a member. Myra Evans, a graduate from Lincoln High School and one of the first African American crossing guards in Milwaukee, who assisted pupils coming and going from 9th and Walnut streets, was a member of St. Mark since her childhood, and served 10 years as president of its food pantry. Milwaukee’s first African American welfare case worker and a chairman of the Milwaukee Housing Authority, Cecil Fisher, was a pastor of St. Mark in the late 20s to the early 30s. Phillips, Evans, and Fisher, all residents of Bronzeville, show the vibrancy of the individuals who made up the congregation of St. Mark A.M.E.
Under Mayor Daniel Hoan, the construction of the North-South Freeway I-43 required the elimination of many homes, businesses and gathering spaces in the Bronzeville area. Under the pretext of “urban renewal,” city officials cited the need to create a way for citizens in out-lying areas to be able to travel back and forth to downtown Milwaukee more easily; however, this occurred at the expense of entire communities which were displaced by the freeway’s construction. St. Mark would also suffer from this, as the construction of I-43 caused the demolition of the church’s 11th Street building. While the church would move from the Bronzeville area, it continued to maintain its strong connection to the expanded African American community with its prime location on 1616 W. Atkinson Ave.

Climate Initiative Provides Significant Support for U.S. Solar Industry
Key provisions in proposed legislation would provide long term stability and growth potential for the solar industry
TORONTO and KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR, OTCQB: SAENF) is pleased to provide an overview of proposed legislation in the United States aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 through a series of initiatives that would directly benefit solar consumers.
“The proposed legislation includes several initiatives that will provide long term stability and incentives to the U.S. solar industry,” said CEO Myke Clark. “This includes an increase and extension of the investment tax credit for solar and a more flexible structure for companies like Solar Alliance to monetize that tax credit. These two key proposals have the potential to accelerate Solar Alliance’s growth, support our ability to own and operate solar projects and contribute to the strengthening of the economy through clean energy project deployment.”
Investment Tax Credit Extension
The current Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) is a 26% tax credit for solar systems. The proposed legislation increases that tax credit to 30% for projects completed in 2022 and extends the ITC another ten years, providing a strong long-term signal to the solar industry. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, the solar ITC has helped the U.S. solar industry grow by more than 10,000% since it was implemented in 2006, with an average annual growth of 50% over the last decade alone.
Sale of Investment Tax Credits
Currently, the business that owns a solar project claims the credit. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that a person or company would otherwise pay the federal government. But many developers don’t have sufficient tax liability to take full advantage of the tax credits themselves. In these cases, developers partner with a third-party investor using tax equity financing. Utilizing third-party tax equity can be an expensive process. Under the proposed legislation, starting in 2023 companies would be allowed to sell most energy-related tax credits to other companies without having to resort to complicated tax equity structures. For the type of projects Solar Alliance is developing this provision could reduce transaction costs and make the process of monetizing tax credits much more streamlined.
“The proposed legislation remains subject to approval by Congress and President Biden, but this development represents a significant step forward for the U.S. solar industry. The provisions contained in the proposed legislation align perfectly with our growth strategy and will help support jobs and clean energy deployment in the U.S.,” concluded Clark.

Spike Lee honoured with BFI fellowship to be presented at BFI Southbank
The BFI has announced that it is celebrating director, writer, actor, producer, author, and NYU Grad Film tenured Professor Spike Lee with a BFI Fellowship, the highest honour bestowed by the BFI. The BFI Fellowships recognises Academy Award winning Lee’s pioneering body of work that has spanned over thirty years and has chronicled black lives through bold and inventive cinematic works of art from feature films and documentary to television, music, commercials and books. The BFI Fellowship will be presented to Spike Lee at a special celebration event at BFI Southbank, hosted by BFI chair Tim Richards and BFI chief exec Ben Roberts, with an in-depth on stage Q&A with Spike Lee and accompanied by a screening of Summer Of Sam, on 13 February 2023. Public tickets to the Q&A event and screening will be available from Monday 30th January at https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/.
Tim Richards, BFI chair, said “I am honoured and excited to be awarding Spike Lee the prestigious BFI Fellowship. Lee has such a distinctive voice as an auteur, unafraid to challenge ideas of race, gender and class throughout his career with his unique cinematic style. A true renaissance man and pioneer, he has excelled in so many art forms, staying original, fresh and as relevant to contemporary audiences as those who have enjoyed his work for over thirty years. I am delighted to be celebrating his enormous talent and individuality with a BFI Fellowship.”
Spike Lee said“I’m Blessed To Live Up To My Ancestors Credo “DEEDS, NOT WORDS”. I Thank The BFI For Helping Me in Continuing My Generations Of Family Legacy. Peace And Love. YA-DIG? SHO-NUFF.”
While in the UK, Spike Lee will also visit teams at the BFI National Archive, who have liaised with Spike Lee on a new 35mm print of Malcolm X (1992), made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery, to premiere at the BFI’s inaugural Film on Film Festival taking place at BFI Southbank, 8-11 June 2023. Spike Lee was last at BFI Southbank in August 2018 for a Q&A screening of BlacKkKlansman (2018), which was simulcast to cinemas UK-wide.
Born in Atlanta in 1957 but raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Shelton Jackson Lee received his MFA in Film Production at NYU/Tisch. After graduation, he founded 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, based in Brooklyn. A cinematic original, Lee has stamped his personality onto a range of bold and powerful subjects, producing cinematic works of art that display his skill and ability to showcase outspoken and proactive socio-political critiques and challenge cultural assumptions about Race, Class and Gender Identity, through his keen direction, fresh dialogue, striking visual style and pitch perfect use of music.
Spike Lee has directed and produced over thirty films since his first feature film, the independently produced She’s Gotta Have It (1986), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival receiving the esteemed Prix de la Jeunesse Award. Do The Right Thing (1989), earned Spike Lee his first Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and was recently voted 24th film in the top 100 Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time Critics’ Poll 2022. Lee was awarded an Honorary Oscar in 2015 for his lifetime achievement and contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences. Both Do The Right Thing and Jungle Fever (1991) screened in competition at Cannes. In 2018 Lee returned to the Cannes Competition with BlacKkKlansman (2018), where it won the Grand Prix. BlacKkKlansman went on to win the Oscar® for Best Adapted Screenplay and BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2021 Spike Lee was named the President of the Jury at the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
Spike Lee’s extensive filmography reveals a fascinating mix of genres, including real life crime thriller (Summer Of Sam, 1999, BlacKkKlansman, 2020) heist movie (Inside Man, 2006) revenge thriller (Oldboy, 2013), war drama (Da 5 Bloods, 2020), sports film (He Got Game, 1998), biopic (Malcolm X, 1992), musical (School Daze, 1988, Chi-raq, 2015) and satirical comedies (Bamboozled, 2000, She Hate Me, 2004). Spike Lee also directed all 19 episodes of the hit Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It (2017-2019). Most recently, he has entered into a new creative partnership with Netflix, which will see him directing and producing narrative features under a multi-year deal with the streamer.
Spike Lee has also produced several documentaries, including the Academy Award® -nominated 4 Little Girls (1997) and the Peabody and Emmy Award-winning films When the Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts (2006) and If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise (2010), all with HBO.
In addition, his Michael Jackson documentaries, BAD 25 (2012) and original ‘Off the Wall’ (2016), were both critically acclaimed. Spike Lee also directed and produced American Utopia (2020), the concert film made of David Byrne’s Broadway performance of the show and album of the same name (which screened nationwide at the BFI London Film Festival). In addition to his prolific film career, Lee has directed and produced numerous music videos, including promos for Public Enemy, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Arrested Development, Naughty by Nature, Chaka Khan and Bruce Hornsby, and began commercial work in 1988 with his legendary Nike Air Jordan campaign.
Spike Lee has combined his extensive creative experience into yet another venture with DDB Needham to create Spike/DDB, a full-service advertising agency. Lee has also authored several books, including Five for Five, a pictorial reflection of his first five features, Best Seat in the House, with Ralph Wiley, and two children’s books Please, Baby, Please and Please, Puppy, Please, co-authored with his wife Tonya Lewis Lee.
Da 5 Bloods
As a pioneering Black filmmaker Spike Lee has paved the way for a new generation of Black directors including Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) Jordan Peele (Get Out), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) and Ava DuVernay (Selma). He began teaching a course on filmmaking at Harvard in 1991, and in 1993 he joined the faculty at NYU/Tisch in the Graduate Film Programme, where he was appointed Artistic Director in 2002, a position which he still holds today. He is a tenured professor of film at NYU’s Graduate film program.
Whilst in the UK to receive his BFI Fellowship Spike will take a masterclass with young filmmakers.
Spike Lee joins an eminent list of BFI Fellows including Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, Satyajit Ray, Tilda Swinton, Sir David Lean, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Sir Steve McQueen, Akira Kurosawa, Nicholas Roeg CBE, Orson Welles, Sir Ridley Scott, Ousmane Sembène Bernardo Bertolucci and Souleymane Cissé.

Governor Newsom's Proposed 2022-23 State Budget
Homelessness Budget
On Monday, January 10 Governor Newsom announced his $286 billion budget request for 2022-23. TPR excerpts the Governor’s Proposed Budget Summary, highlighting requested state spending for economic and workforce development, transportation, energy, water, climate, housing, and homelessness. Find more resources on the Governor's budget request online, here.
FUTURE EXPANDING OPPORTUNITY AND STRENGTHENING CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE
California is uniquely positioned to confront climate change while simultaneously investing in expanding opportunity and strengthening California's future. The Budget focuses new investments in the continued growth of the state's economy and opportunity for all Californians, and positions the state as a global leader in innovation and solutions to both mitigate and adapt to the changing climate.
California is home to industries that have fundamentally altered the way the world lives and communicates. This leadership will be furthered by encouraging the development of climate solutions that prepare and protect communities, create jobs, and fuel economic growth.
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION
The Budget restores business tax credits, including research and development credits and net operating losses that were limited during the COVID-19 Recession, and proposes an additional $250 million per year for three years for qualified companies headquartered in California that are investing in research to mitigate climate change.
The Budget also includes a new tax credit for those that opt in to develop green energy technologies—totaling $100 million per year for three years. So Californians can share more broadly in the gains from these innovations, these new credits will be structured so that when the business becomes profitable, a share of the profits will be repaid to the state. The state also plans to develop naturally occurring resources of lithium—a critical component of advanced battery technology—to improve the state’s ability to store renewable energy while creating high-paying jobs and generating benefits for surrounding communities and all Californians.
The Budget also proposes direct investments in climate-related research and development at the UC, including $185 million for applied research, regional networks of climate-focused technology incubators, and workforce development and training hubs. These investments will support the next generation of inventions and innovations to address climate change.
In addition to the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, which will deliver billions of dollars for infrastructure to California, the Budget makes an historic state investment of over $20 billion in infrastructure-related investments to prepare and protect California communities from climate change. These investments will further facilitate economic growth and create thousands of jobs.
STRENGTHENING SMALL BUSINESS
California small businesses are drivers of economic growth—creating two-thirds of the state’s new jobs during the recovery. Last year's budget created the nation’s largest small business relief program—providing billions in needed relief to thousands of small businesses, and the Budget proposes approximately $500 million in additional tax relief over several years through state conformity for qualified California recipients of federal relief grants in significantly impacted industries. To further encourage small business creation, the Budget waives initial filing fees for new businesses. In addition, the Budget permanently expands programs that provide technical assistance and access to capital to spur business creation in underserved communities. The Budget also includes
$150 million one-time General Fund to support small businesses previously waitlisted in prior rounds of the state’s Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program.
The Budget also allocates $3 billion General Fund over the next two years to reduce the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund debt owed to the federal government. Over the long-term, this will reduce costs to the state and benefit employers by reducing debts accumulated during the pandemic.
EXPANDING WORKFORCE TRAINING AND OPPORTUNITY
So more Californians can participate in California's economic growth, the Budget includes a multipronged strategy to train workers for jobs critical to California's economic growth and to meet growing demands for teachers and health care workers.
These investments start in the K-12 school system with $1.5 billion Proposition 98 General Fund to support the development of college and career pathways focused on education, health care, technology, and climate-related fields. Promoting pathways that allow students to move seamlessly from high school to college to career will improve the number of students who pursue and achieve post-secondary education and training. These funds will focus on creating local partnerships that bring together school systems, higher education institutions, and employers to develop integrated pathways to college and careers in these high-demand fields.
In addition, the Budget invests $1.7 billion to expand the state's health and human services workforce, including training strategies to increase the state’s workforce of nurses, social workers, emergency medical technicians, behavioral health care providers, and community health care workers.
Building upon last year’s multi-billion dollar investment in teacher preparation, retention, and training, the Budget waives certain teacher examination fees and encourages the development of new integrated teacher preparation programs to address the state's shortage of qualified teachers.
CLIMATE CHANGE AND WORKFORCE
The Budget includes multiple workforce investments with a focus on climate change, including $35 million General Fund for the UC to create regional workforce development and training hubs focused on climate change; $30 million General Fund over two years to the CCC to train, develop, and certify forestry professionals; and
$60 million General Fund over three years for the California Workforce Development Board's Low Carbon Economy Workforce grant program to support workforce development programs that align with strategies in the state's Climate Change Scoping Plan.
Last year, $600 million was allocated to the Community Economic Resilience Fund for regional strategies that support economic and workforce transitions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, climate change, and other factors. The Budget complements this effort with $450 million General Fund over three years starting in 2023-24 to support local governments as local economies adjust, $215 million General Fund over two years to support an oil and gas well capping initiative to improve the safety of communities while providing high-quality jobs, and $50 million General Fund to establish a fund for displaced oil and gas workers as the state continues to phase out oil production.
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
Building on last year's historic $15 billion in climate investments, the Budget integrates climate, equity, and economic opportunity across the state’s budget—including housing, health, and education—to mobilize a coordinated state response to the climate crisis.
California experienced 4 of the 20 largest wildfires in its history in 2021. Last year, the state expanded firefighting capacity and invested $1.5 billion to significantly increase the state’s ability to prevent wildfires. The Budget proposes an additional $1.2 billion over two years to continue investments in forest health and fire prevention, including a major new reforestation effort. The Budget also makes a major investment to expand firefighting efforts, including new dedicated aircraft and hand crews, as well as
$400 million to address the effects of the recent prolonged wildfire seasons on CAL FIRE firefighters.
Despite recent rain, dry conditions may extend to a third consecutive year, requiring the state to prioritize State Water Project allocations for health and safety needs and to maintain salinity control in the Bay-Delta to protect endangered species. Building upon last year’s three-year, $5.2 billion allocation to support drought response and long-term water sustainability, the Budget includes an additional $750 million General Fund to address immediate drought response needs, including $250 million set aside as a contingency. These investments will expand support for critical drinking water emergencies and mitigate drought damage to fish and wildlife, and the investments will also support small farmers and ranchers and water systems facing a loss of water supply.
The IIJA will deliver more than $10 billion of new formula-based transportation funding to California over the next five years and billions of dollars in additional funding from new competitive grants. This measure could also provide billions in additional funds for clean drinking water, clean energy, toxic cleanup, broadband, and other infrastructure investments.
The Budget includes an additional $9.1 billion ($4.9 billion General Fund and $4.2 billion Proposition 1A bond funds) to support the continued development of a first-in-the-nation, electrified high-speed rail system in California, regional transit and rail projects, bicycle and pedestrian projects, and climate adaptation projects, with a particular focus on aligning the state's transportation system with its climate goals. The Budget also includes $1.2 billion General Fund for improvements to the state's goods movement infrastructure, including improving data interconnectivity to reduce congestion and increase supply chain efficiency, thereby reducing harmful emissions from this critical sector.
The Budget adds an additional $6.1 billion (General Fund, Proposition 98 General Fund, federal funds, and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund) over five years, which builds on last year's unprecedented zero-emission package, for a total of $10 billion to advance California's climate and transportation goals. These funds are focused on supporting zero-emission vehicles and charging infrastructure in low-income communities across the state, including funding for community-based projects.
The Budget also invests significantly in replacing heavy-duty trucks and buses with zero-emission vehicles, given their disproportionate impact on low-income communities and communities near California's ports, as well as green school transportation to reduce harmful emissions from aging diesel-fueled bus fleets and reduce ongoing school transportation costs.
The Budget makes investments to meet the state's clean energy goals with $2 billion General Fund over two years to provide incentives for long-duration-storage projects, renewable hydrogen, and industrial decarbonization, including in the food processing sector. The Budget also includes funding for decarbonization and electrification of existing buildings in disadvantaged communities, as well as infrastructure improvements to facilitate the development of offshore wind energy production.
Since 2019, California has invested significant funding for affordable housing development throughout the state, and has enacted laws to hold local jurisdictions accountable for meeting their regional housing needs. The Budget builds upon the $10.3 billion housing investment made last year with a focus on aligning housing goals and climate goals.
The Budget proposes an additional $1.5 billion over two years to accelerate the development of affordable housing. The focus of the majority of these investments is on development in and near downtowns throughout the state. Building housing near jobs, schools and other amenities reduces commutes and greenhouse gas emissions.
The state has invested billions of dollars in recent years to provide funding to local governments for critical housing supports and homelessness services, marked by last year’s three-year, $12 billion allocation. The state has also invested in new housing through Homekey—an effort started during the COVID-19 Pandemic that has acquired and converted a variety of building and housing types—including hotels, motels, and commercial buildings—to house individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
This effort was also expanded last year to include the development of a behavioral health continuum of housing and community care facilities.
The Budget proposes an additional $2 billion General Fund over two years to continue the state’s efforts to address homelessness by investing in behavioral health housing and encampment cleanup grants. These investments are intended to serve as a bridge to other related efforts such as Homekey and California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), which will redesign Medi-Cal to better serve Californians, including individuals experiencing homelessness and provide long-term care.

May 6 – 12: “Are authors expected to write plenty during the spring season?”
The month of May was named after the Roman goddess of fertility, Maia. This week ITW Members R. G. Belsky, Heather Gudenkauf, Graham Wynd, Christopher Golden and Kate White are discussing whether or not authors are expected to write plenty during the spring season? Scroll down to the “comments” section to follow along. You won’t want to miss it!
