Chicago Artists Coalition's FIELD/WORK is a year-round program of workshops, personalized consultations, peer learning exchanges, and tutorials providing artists of all disciplines and career stages with the educational skills needed for creative and professional success.
Teaching Artists Summit 2016
Keynote Talk by Sabina Ott
April 2, 2016
Chicago Artists Coalition & Hyde Park Art Center were honored to present Sabina Ott's keynote talk at the first annual day-long convening bringing together teaching artists from across the city for professional development and community-building around critical issues in teaching artistry today. Click below for a PDF of Sabina Ott's keynote talk at the Summit, in which she discussed the evolution of her teaching practice throughout the course of her career as well as the principles that guide her both in the classroom and in her studio practice.
Teaching Artists Summit arose from a shared desire to provide new opportunities for teaching artists from throughout Chicago to come together to develop their professional practice and connect with others. With an overarching focus on strengthening the relationship between studio practice and teaching practice, the Teaching Artist Summit also featured teaching artist-led workshops and an interactive curriculum slam.
Teaching Artists Summit is open to practitioners from all disciplines, geographic areas, and age groups looking to inspire lively and meaningful dialogue with practical implications in the classroom and studio. Our hope is that the Teaching Artists Summit will be an open and inclusive gathering that fosters a sense of community and mutual support for teaching artists that will continue to grow through workshops and informal meet-ups throughout the year.
To that end, Chicago Artists Coalition is happy to present Sara Black's workshop "Documentation & Marketing for Pedagogical Practices" in their West Loop gallery on Monday, August 29, 2016. More info + register here.

- Focus on Funds
Morning Read: These Funds Shrink Your Muni Rate Risk
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Market check: Major indexes are lower in Tuesday morning trading and the price of gold is down 0.8% at $1,266. Plenty of niches are in positive territory -- even social media. The Global X Social Media Index ETF (SOCL) is ahead by 0.2% in morning trading. Bonds are getting a bid thanks to fresh, apparently unsettling headlines from D.C., boosting prices. Muni ETFs such as SPDR Nuveen S&P High Yield Municipal Bond ETF (HYMB), up 0.2%, are modestly higher.
Fund watch: Speaking of munis, S&P Capital IQ reviews the group's ETFs, turning up two picks with lower-than-average interest-rate sensitivity. They're alternatives to iShares National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF (MUB), which is down 4.6% with its above-average duration, writes Mike Aneiro of Barron's. Meanwhile, SPDR Nuveen Barclays Short Term Municipal Bond ETF (SHM), with a modified duration of less than three years, is up 0.3% YTD, and iShares Short-Term National AMT-Free Muni Bond ETF (SUB), with a two-year duration, is up 0.4% this year. The danger, of course, is overshooting. This year's rate increases were unusually sharp, so it may be something of a stretch to expect a repeat performance in the short run. Not mentioned, but also worth a look for rate worrywarts: Pimco Short-Term Municipal Bond ETF (SMMU), with an effective duration of 1.3 years and a flat performance year-to-date.
In the news: Hedge funds' bets against the stock market are at the highest of the year, report Bloomberg News' Nikolaj Gammeltoft and Whitney Kisling.

A long time ago, back when Katsu and Haruko Imamura began dating, they walked into a multiplex — then sat in different theaters.
"She went into 'Driving Miss Daisy,' " Katsu remembers. "And I went in to see 'Glory.' "
"He likes samurai or action movies. I like more drama," Haruko says, smiling. "People laugh that we go to movies together but in different rooms. ... We need separate time."
So Katsu plays golf, Haruko the violin and piano. Katsu listens to country music, Haruko to classical.
"If I want to go play golf, she can play golf too," Katsu says. "But if she doesn't want to go, I don't want to push too much."
"We both learned from our previous marriages. There's nothing like divorce. That's a very painful thing," Haruko says. "So we work very hard, and being away from our own families, being in a foreign country we both kind of rely on each other. But the happiness — it's like we each individually have to be happy."
That doesn't mean Katsu, 69, and Haruko, 56, never spend time with each other. Not at all. The Imamuras work together seven hours-plus a day, five days a week and have been doing so for 25 years, ever since they opened the much-lauded Katsu Japanese Restaurant on West Peterson Avenue.
"After 28 years being together, we're still talking and working together," Haruko says.
"Most of our customers say, 'Oh, that's unbelievable,' " Katsu adds.
A conversation with the couple inevitably involves one finishing the other's sentence, a dash of humor, a smile. That they've arrived at this comfortable balance in their 22-year marriage is testament to the value of communication, built on a deep respect for each other's talents and the lives they lived before meeting.
It is a story full of career changes, divorce, dreams and a long-shuttered restaurant on State Street named Yanase, where they met.
Katsu was born and raised in Tokyo, with his mother, Masako, a skilled cook, nurturing his palate. "His generation in Japan, right after the war, they had very pure tastes and not disguised with many chemicals," Haruko says.
Yet it was fashion design, not the culinary world, that first engaged him; he studied at Tokyo's Bunka Fashion College (alumni include designers Kenzo and Yohji Yamamoto), then worked in fashion, traveling to Europe several times a year.
He was 36 years old when he arrived in Chicago to work in fashion. "It wasn't fun," he remembers, and his next step was the kitchens of Yanase.
Haruko, born on Japan's Shikoku Island, majored in textile arts in Kyoto. She arrived in Chicago at 23 to work at a company owned by her first husband. By the time Katsu and Haruko met, their marriages had ended.
Why did you notice Katsu, we asked Haruko. "He's a very handsome man," she says.
"I used to be," Katsu counters.
"No, no. Don't joke," Haruko says. "I thought he was very passionate about the food, and even though he was working for someone else, he treated the customer just like he owned the restaurant. And I could picture him being the owner of the restaurant."
Eventually they started dating. "He mentioned he wanted to have his own restaurant," Haruko says. "I was not sure what I wanted to do but thought it would be nice to work together to make the dream come true."
It was a scary time, she says, looking for a location for the restaurant "and the only place we could afford was this."
"Sushi was not so popular then," Katsu remembers, and the Japanese pub restaurant they opened drew mostly Japanese customers plus chefs who worked at such restaurants as Suntory and Benkay, both now closed. "We stayed open late, so they would come here."
But a six-day workweek, workdays that ended with the restaurant's 2 a.m. closing, was trying. In 1998, they remodeled the restaurant and focused on more traditional Japanese cuisine. Haruko also set out to remodel their lives.
"I was desperate to design our lifestyle in a much more convenient way, to live closer, have less hours," she says, of their move from Highland Park to Chicago and shorter workdays. "We did, and we are very happy."
Which is not to say they never disagree.
"He doesn't take criticism very happily, but I see he does take (it) seriously," Haruko says.
"I'm always serious," counters Katsu, adding that he considers her his best helper — and recognizes the importance of letting her know that. "One of my American friends told me, 'Katsu, you must allow for the American way. You have to say, "Oh, I am sorry, honey. You are right." Don't forget this.'
"I try," Katsu adds with a laugh, "but it's not easy."
While Katsu oversees the culinary aspects of the restaurant, Haruko manages everything else. "But when it's time to make a big decision, we always consult each other, and he's very good in making decisions."
They were married almost 22 years ago at City Hall, "but we feel like we've been married for over 100 years, working together every day," Haruko quips.
"Everything I trust to her," Katsu says. "I can't always say my feelings, but I always think about that too. I'm a Japanese man; I can't say directly, 'I love you' or something.
"She's very talented, you know. She's very kind and she understands me," he adds. "Maybe that's why she trusts me. That is why I can trust her too."

Are you already as sick of seeing the word "Kickstarter" as we are? Yeah, probably. Remember, developers: not everyone has to jump on the same bandwagon to get money to make a video game.
Instead of holding out your hands, you could always do what Finnish developer Petsku is doing, and sell all your old Transformers.
Having worked for over twenty years on studio games like Dead Nation and Super Stardust, Petsku wants to go it alone as an indie, and to help fund the move is selling over 150 of his original Transformers.
Since most of them were bought for the purposes of either display or simply collecting, they're in great condition, and with over 150 of them it's an amazing cross-section of the 1980's various Transformers lines.
You can read more about Petsku's efforts, and see more detailed pics, at the link below.

Earlier today, the EPA released the 18th annual report of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, which shows that emissions decreased by 1.6 percent in 2011 from 2010.
The EPA's annual greenhouse gas (GHG) report shows that the reduction in emissions is due in part to improvements in electricity generation and fuel efficiency. The EPA is also working on increasing fuel efficiency to reduce U.S. dependence on oil by approximately 12 billion barrel by 2025 and using the Energy Star program to save $24 million in utility bills for 2012.
In order to get this latest annual inventory, the EPA tracked GHG emissions levels from 1990 to 2011 and also calculates carbon dioxide emissions that are removed from the atmosphere. EPA prepares the annual report in collaboration with other federal agencies and after gathering comments from stakeholders across the country.

We are asked to share a picture from our collections. The pictures should contain people whose identities are not known.
Sadly, I have a few of these images. My family is quite small during the photography era, so the chances that I am related to these people are pretty high.
The photograph I've chosen for this edition came from my maternal grandmother's collection. She had one parent come from Germany and the other from Austria. This image could belong to either one, but I'm leaning toward it being from Austria:
It's possible that the bride and some of the others are siblings of my great-grandmother. I might be releated to everyone in this picture. Are her parents in the photo? I'll never know.
It's very hard to be this close to the answer and realize it will likely never be resolved.

Sharks - Scavengers of the Sea
Before being an earthly paradise with enchanting colours, the lagoon of New-Caledonia is above all a paradise for sharks. Usually considered as fierce predators, sharks really are opportunistic scavengers. Scavengers that are not too picky when it comes to their menu: feathers, fins or fur, anything will do.

The U.S. continues to be a significant destination for Peruvian citrus since it became a major importer of the commodity four years ago.
The nations reached that trade status in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Last year, Peru"s citrus exports reached a volume of 68,500 metric tons, with 23% (15,677 metric tons) of that shipped to the U.S., said Sergio del Castillo, general manager of the Lima-based nonprofit Citrus Growers Association of Peru, or ProCitrus.
Last year"s shipments of Peruvian fruit to the U.S. valued a total $15.6 million, said Beatriz Tubino, agricultural exports manager, Exporters Association, Lima, Peru.
The main citrus export, tangerines, reached $12.2 million last year, she said.
This year, del Castillo said he expects to see an 8% increase in volume over last year.
Shipments of mandarins to the U.S. began in mid-April, and by late May, 350 metric tons had been sent, del Castillo said.
The average shipment takes three weeks to arrive, and shipments to the U.S. are expected to continue until about early September, del Castillo said.
About 85% of Peruvian citrus exports are grown by the 140 ProCitrus members, who have about 7,000 hectares (about 17,300 acres) of orchards, Del Castillo said.
ProCitrus expects to ship about 750 40-foot containers of citrus, including soft citrus, oranges and limes, to the U.S. this year. The main varieties ProCitrus growers export to the U.S. are minneola tangelos, and mandarins, such as satsumas, clementines, novas and w. murcotts, del Castillo said. ProCitrus also exports navel oranges and limes.
Grower-shipper La Calera, Chincha, Peru, begins its soft citrus exports to the U.S. with satsumas, said Estuardo Masias, owner.
Satsumas help fill the gap between the clementine seasons in California and the Southern Hemisphere, he said. Satsumas are La Calera"s biggest variety, but the company is building its export programs of other types of citrus.
La Calera grows citrus on about 1,400 hectares (about 3,460 acres) of drip-irrigated orchards. Its export division is Prolan, in Lima, and it markets fruit in the U.S. through its import company, Miami-based Andean Sun Produce.
In May and June, Prolan exports La Calera"s oronules, nules, nours and other varieties of clementines.
In May, Masias said La Calera"s volume of clementines was increasing, with additional orchards being planted in anticipation of a bigger U.S. export program.
La Calera"s second-largest citrus crop is the minneola tangerine, which is harvested beginning in July, Masias said. Prolan exports about 2,000 tons of minneolas to the U.S. in a year.
Minneolas are a major part of the Peruvian export program to the U.S., said Mark Greenberg, senior vice president of procurement and chief operating officer, Fisher Capespan, Montreal. The company has an affiliated office in New Jersey and distributes produce from Central and South America throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Fisher Capespan expects to import about the same tonnage of Peruvian citrus this year as it did last year, and expects its first arrivals of minneolas in mid-July, with sales lasting through the end of August or into early September.
In May, Greenberg said he was not yet sure what volume of minneolas would be shipped into the U.S., but he estimated that 250 to 300 containers, or 5,000 to 6,000 tons, would be shipped to various receivers on the East and West coasts.
Greenberg said the Peruvian minneola is a good fruit.
"The product shows bright orange with a nice shape and it"s very sweet and juicy," he said.
Weather conditions caused a larger fruit drop than normal during fruit set for satsumas, Del Castillo said. While that results in lower production, it also typically results in larger fruit sizes. Fruit quality was good in May, and growers had similar expectations for the minneola crop.
David Mixon, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Seald Sweet International, Vero Beach, Fla., said he expected a good season for minneolas, with good exterior appearance, sizing and color.
Seald Sweet expects to have minneolas available by the third or fourth week of July, with availability through August or early September.
Although minneolas are a good product and the orchards produce good yields, Masias said La Calera is focusing more on w. murcotts.
The variety is La Calera"s most important variety in terms of growth in volume, Macias said. The company currently produces 3,000 tons of w. murcotts, and expects that volume to grow to 17,000 tons within five years.
W. murcott, a late-season mandarin, is another major citrus item imported from Peru, Greenberg said. Like a clementine, it is easy to peel.
Fisher Capespan expects w. murcotts from Peru to begin arriving about the first week of August, with availability through the first or second week of September, Greenberg said.
Seald Sweet International, Vero Beach, Fla., expects to have Peruvian w. murcotts available for four to five weeks beginning in mid-July, Mixon said. They likely will be available before Chile"s crop, so they serve as a good bridge to Chile"s clemengold variety season.
This season"s w. murcott quality should be good with good color and flavor, Mixon said.
"W. murcott shows a great bright orange color, with very powerful flavor, good sugars and good acids with a nice citrus punch," Greenberg said. "It even shows pale orange on the inside of the peel."
Mixon expects Seald Sweet to market about 10% more Peruvian w. murcotts because new trees are coming into production, he said.
As with the early-season satsumas, ProCitrus" w. murcott volume probably will decrease and sizes will be larger, with mostly medium to large fruit, del Castillo said.
In May, Greenberg said he did not yet know what volume to expect this season. More W. Murcott orchards are being planted, so Greenberg said he expects to see increased production over the next few years.
"W. murcotts are highly sought after in other markets," he said.
Peru has well-established citrus export programs with importers in Canada and European countries, where programs existed before the U.S. began allowing Peruvian citrus imports, Greenberg said.
In addition to w. murcotts and minneolas, Fisher Capespan imports navel oranges and seeded murcott honey tangerines from Peru.
Macias planned to stop marketing honey tangerines a few years ago, but he found a new market for it in the U.S., he said.
"We have found that the U.S. loves this variety, and we are now planting more and more," he said. "We just can"t get enough of it."
The murcott honey tangerines are late-season tangerines that are expected to be available from mid-August to late September.
Fisher Capespan focuses its sales of the tangerines on the West Coast, where it has found good distribution, Greenberg said.
Prolan exports La Calera"s honey tangerines to the U.S. in August and September. It also ships some navel oranges and star ruby grapefruit in August and September, but La Calera grows mainly soft citrus.
Navel orange growers in Peru do not focus on the U.S. market because South Africa, Chile and Australia produce good navel oranges that are preferred by U.S. buyers, Greenberg said.
"It eats well and it"s a nice navel orange, but some buyers prefer to stay with traditional suppliers," Greenberg said.
Navel oranges from Peru will be available in light volumes in about early July, with availability continuing through August.
I purchase quantities of seeded honey tangerines for domestic consumption. Are there any Peruvian companies that will ship 20-25 lbs of honey tangerines per month to individuals? How can I be alerted to shipment of these Tangerines to the West Coast? Can I get a list of vendors who carry seeded honey tangerines? Thanks
It's been one year since my original questions about Seeded Honey Tangerines from Peru and no replies.
In reply to I purchase quantities of… by Daniel Shane (not verified)

For neurologists, this is THE event. To outsiders, it is the largest collection of neurogeeks in the world.
This is where the majority of the participants registered with NCC-1701 as their password. Where you'll find people who don't know their kids' names, but can lovingly identify every structure on an axial slice of the pons. And where you'll find the last 5 people on Earth who wear bow ties to work.
I wasn't invited (they're angry at me for revealing our darkest secret), but I do have a spy there, sending me pictures with a camera cleverly disguised as a phone.
Agent SMOD took this picture in the exhibit hall:
It's a company that makes gadgets to measure nerve thickness at the back of the eye. So they have giant round screens surrounding the booth showing huge eyes. Big Brother is watching you spill coffee on the sales reps.
These things only reaffirm that neurology was the right specialty choice for me. Because my first thought was how much it reminded me of this image:
|What would Frodo, do?
|I'm sorry, Dave. We're out of Diet Coke.
(If you don't recognize the movies, ask a neurologist. If you can't find one, they'll be back from New Orleans next week).

This has been a big year for world records.
On Sunday, Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a capsule that had been lifted 24 miles above Earth by a balloon. When he landed safely four minutes later, he had set five world records, including one for the greatest free-fall distance.
And during the summer, Michael Phelps broke the 48-year-old record for the most Olympic medals.
You can bet both of those feats will be included in a book that keeps track of all kinds of statistics: "Guinness World Records." The Guinness book, which is updated every year, is filled with the biggest, fastest, oldest and some of the strangest things people have done to get attention. (Last year, 1,039 people at Kings Dominion set a record for the most people dressed as vampires.)
You might wonder how Guinness checks all the records. That's where Mike Janela comes in. The 27-year-old is head of the U.S. records management team for Guinness. He and eight other people examine evidence, write rules for new records and sometimes travel from their home base in New York to verify records in person. Each team member has a specialty.
"I'm a sports guy," says Janela, who wanted to be a television sports commentator when he was a kid. "I started in sports-specific records. That's my area of comfort and expertise."
So he has been on hand when some interesting sports-related records have been set. One of Janela's most memorable was Gary Saavedra's 2011 attempt to surf for the longest time and over the longest distance.
"He wanted to do it in open water" instead of in a wave pool, Janela said. "He was able to secure the Panama Canal. . . . I'm on this boat. I'm sitting here with a GPS tracking him. He almost hits four hours — three hours and 55 minutes. . . . Finally his leg muscles gave out. But he was totally fine."
Saavedra rode the wave created by a speedboat for 41.3 miles. Janela said it was especially strange to see Saavedra surfing alongside huge container ships.
That record involved one person, but often a record-setting attempt will require a large group. Janela said that dealing with hundreds or thousands of people sometimes makes his job tricky.
"It can be very difficult to organize and count people. Sometimes there is no counting system in place," he said. "The hardest work is before the event."
One event that involved a lot of counting was the record for the world's largest toast, which was set April 20 at Fenway Park. That day marked the 100th anniversary of the ballpark, and the Boston Red Sox provided every fan in attendance with a glass and a bottle of grape juice. Janela said he and a lot of helpers counted as the crowd of 32,904 raised a glass to mark the occasion.
Janela also has met the woman with the longest fingernails (19 feet, 9 inches for all 10) and the person with the tallest mohawk (44.6 inches — that's almost four feet).
Growing hair and drinking grape juice don't involve risk of injury, but Janela said people ask Guinness about setting records that are dangerous. In cases that involve kids, Janela said his team sometimes has to say no.
"If you're under 16, we don't accept a circumnavigation [traveling around the world] or really extreme athletic feats," he said.
But Janela said Guinness doesn't want to discourage kids. "We always provide alternative record ideas. We don't want to turn anyone away."

diane arbus: in the beginning
Diane Arbus made most of her photographs in New York City, where she was born and died, and where she worked in locations such as Times Square, the Lower East Side and Coney Island. Her photographs of children and eccentrics, couples and circus performers, female impersonators and midtown shoppers, are among the most intimate, surprising and haunting works of art of the twentieth century.
Organised by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and adapted for Hayward Gallery, diane arbus: in the beginning takes an in-depth look at the formative first half of Arbus' career, during which the photographer developed the direct, psychologically acute style for which she later became so widely celebrated.
The exhibition features more than 100 photographs, the majority of which are vintage prints made by the artist, drawn from the Diane Arbus Archive at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. More than two-thirds of these photographs have never been seen before in the UK.
Tracing the development of Arbus' early work with a 35mm camera to the distinctive square format she began using in 1962, the exhibition concludes with a presentation of A box of ten photographs, the portfolio Arbus produced in 1970 and 1971, comprising legendary portraits including Identical twins, Roselle, N.J. 1967 and A Jewish giant at home with his parents in the Bronx, N.Y. 1970.
This exhibition is organised by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Generously supported by Cockayne – Grants for the arts, The London Community Foundation and Alexander Graham with additional support from Michael G and C Jane Wilson.

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Biggest sticker shock: Charlottesville sees its first $4 a gallon gas prices over the weekend.
Stormiest: June 4 starts with thunder and lightning around 4:30am, and another tempest hits around 7:30pm that knocks out power, particularly in the northern part of the county, for thousands of residents, some of which is not restored until June 7.
Worst run of police chases: Louisa sees its second fatality in two weeks when shotgun-wielding Michael Ray Duncan Jr., 36, rolls his T-Bird during a June 7 high-speed chase, short timer Seth Rosen reports in the Daily Progress. The driver of a Geo Metro who was killed May 29 after crashing just over the Albemarle line still has not been identified.
Closest call: A three-year-old is pulled from a Forest Lakes pool June 9 and survives, thanks to prompt action by a lifeguard.
Grimmest detail: Police say that 11-year-old Aziz Damar Booth was shot intentionally June 3. According to a Brian McNeill DP story, Captain Bryant Bibb alleges the Walker Upper Elementary student was not killed by a stray bullet in his kitchen.
Biggest bust: Police seize 43 grams of cocaine, $5,129, and a handgun in a raid on Carlton Drive. Arrested are Rigaberto Topbar Gonzales, 24, Jimmy Orlando Chirinos, 31, and Denise Holsapple, 37, charged with conspiracy to distribute. Gonzales gets a possession charge, and Chirinos picks up an assault and battery on a law officer.
Most wince-inducing photo: The smashed windshield of a Hyundai after it slams a cyclist June 9 on Preston Avenue is shot by the DP's Kaylin Bowers. Driver Mike Napier is charged with failure to yield; the bicyclist is taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Greenest: Albemarle restricts toxic chemicals in county buildings and grounds– except when fighting poison ivy, short-timer Jeremy Borden reports in the Progress. The School Board will decide on school buildings separately next month.
NIMBYest: The Board of Supervisors okays real estate broker Lane Bonner's plans to subdivide in swanky Bellair June 4, much to the dismay of some neighbors, who accuse him of "gaming the system," according to Charlottesville Tomorrow.
Longest detour: UVA shuts down University Ave. for two months to repair steam tunnels.
Latest Meadowcreek Parkway detail: City Council picks a diamond-shaped interchange for the intersection of McIntire Road and U.S. 250 bypass, rather than the roundabout suggested by a citizens' committee. Rosen has the story in the DP.
Latest lesbian mom news: The Virginia Supreme Court upholds Janet Jenkins' right to see the daughter she had with Lisa Miller after the two were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000. Miller gave birth to Isabella in 2002, moved to Virginia, renounced homosexuality, and denied Jenkins visitation with the child, represented by Liberty Counsel founder Mathew Staver.
Best boys tennis team: Western Albemarle wins the Group AA state finals June 7 in Blacksburg, taking the state championship for the second year in a row.
Best rehab: Harry the abducted hot dog goes into Old Dominion Prosthetics & Orthotics June 5 for treatment of injuries suffered when he was snatched from the All Good Groceries April 9, including snapped off limbs and lost shoelace and mustard and ketchup bottles. According to Tasha Kates in the Progress, kidnapers Jeremy Strain and David Dudley were in court June 5 where Strain pleaded guilty to misdemeanor destruction of property and got a 30 days suspended sentence and paid $500 restitution. Dudley also pleaded guilty to destruction of property and petty larceny, and will serve 10 days in jail and pay $1,000 in restitution.

What do you do when you are asked to do something that goes against your beliefs?
How do you behave when you principles become compromised?
When your friends become enemies and your enemies become friends, who can you turn to and who can you trust?
Never in the history of Dwarven-kind did we ever have reason to aid our enemies. When Dwarven children were growing up, their parents would paint them the horrors of the various monsters and beasts around the world. As a Priest, I was taught to go after them and defend my country and my right to live as a Dwarf.
We did whatever it took to safeguard our borders. From the mountains of Redridge to the Marshes of Dustwallow I went. Our objective to wipe the evil fish off the face of the planet. Every Murloc, slain. Every hovel, leveled. Any trace of Murloc, annihilated.
Our path was clear and merciless from the day our training ended.
I should've known priorities had changed. Quel'Danas offered the first clue. Freeing Murlocs from the clutches of Naga magic? Why not wipe them both out and be done with it? I was confused at first. I thought there was more to this. Like a faithful and obedient Dwarf, I followed my orders to the letter.
Upon reaching the shores of Northrend, I was tasked to assist yet another group of Murlocs. I had trouble reconciling this with beliefs that have been grounded into me since I had gotten my first whisker at 6 months.
Murlocs. We are helping Murlocs fight other Murlocs. I have gone from mindlessly bringing whole Murloc villages to the ground to risking my life to rescue Murloc Tadpoles (children) from captivity. I infiltrated a cave under the guise as one of their own and led a small strike force deep into the heart of enemy territory. Silencing the guards were easy. Extracting the Murlocs held hostage were a bit more of a challenge.
For the first time in my career – nay, my life – I fought back to back with a Murloc covering my flank and I his. My Apostle more than held its own effortlessly cleaving the tainted Murlocs in half (after some practice from being rusty at least). In the end, the operation was ultimately a success with zero casualties.
However, going on these joint missions have left a sour taste in my mouth. I wish to be rid of them as quick as possible. I would much rather be supervising Gnomes. I now question my ethics. To whom do I owe my allegiance? The Dwarven banner or to myself?
This is the difficulty that I must wrestle with internally.
Now I have a vague idea how Americans thought when they first executed joint missions with the Russians.

The village of Bil'in held a special demonstration on Friday 27 February to commemorate 10 years of non-violent resistance to the separation wall and the ongoing colonization of village lands.
Nearly one thousand Palestinians from Bil'in and elsewhere, together with scores of Israeli and international solidarity activists, gathered in the village center after midday prayer and marched to the separation wall a short distance outside the village. As the demonstration approached the wall, Israeli soldiers showered the area with tear gas. Four activists were beaten and arrested, two Palestinians and two Israelis, and six Palestinians were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets.
The Palestine Monitor spoke to Mustafa Barghouthi shortly after he had been tear-gassed while approaching the separation wall. "We are marching… to emphasise that popular non-violent resistance which started 13 years ago is surviving and growing and is the best alternative to failed negotiations," he said. Dr Barghouthi explained that while Bil'in can be looked at as a success because the Israelis were forced to move back the separation wall, pushing the wall back "is not enough. We need to remove all the wall, just like the Berlin wall."
In 2007, the Israeli High court, in response to a petition from the village's residents, ruled that the proposed route of the wall was illegal and ordered it to be rerouted. In 2010 the Israeli authorities finally implemented the court order, moving the barrier back several hundred metres. The village residents won back 600 dunams (approx. 148 acres) of their farmland, but a large portion of their farming land still sits out of reach, on the other side of the wall.
"We are following in the best traditions of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi in protesting Israel's apartheid and racial discrimination. We think it's a shame for the world that when they are celebrating the anniversary of the Berlin wall, we still have this wall in Palestine," bemoaned Dr Barghouthi.
Jaber Abu Rahme, a resident of Bil'in and volunteer with the local Popular Resistance Struggle Committee, told the Palestine Monitor that the weekly demonstrations will continue until all of the village's land is liberated. "The settlements behind the wall are still on our land, it is still occupied. We are still fighting and struggling to get all our land back," he said.
Jaber was keen to stress the importance of the solidarity from the Israelis and the internationals present. "This sends our message to their communities and has helped make our action a symbol of non-violent resistance throughout the world," he declared.
Jaber's cousin, Bassem Abu Rahme, was killed in 2009 during a similar demonstration in Bil'in. Israeli troops shot him in the chest with a tear gas canister from close range. Jaber explained that Friday's demonstration was important to carry on Bassem's legacy. "Bassem was not only a cousin, he was a friend for all of us. He was always so active in the front lines, but he never had anything against the Israelis. He stayed peaceful and never threw even one stone."
Haitham al-Khatib, an award winning photographer from Bil'in, told the Palestine Monitor about his experiences attending the demonstrations. "Many times they shot me and tried to arrest me, but I continue because I believe in my rights, not just as a journalist but because it's my land," he asserted.
Haitham also outlined the significance of the Israeli and international activists. "Without them they would just kill us. I want to welcome everyone… to be with us against this illegal occupation and to have freedom," he said.
The Israeli authorities have tried all means to break the protest movement, from killing protestors like Bassem Abu Rahme, and his sister Jawaher who choked to death after inhaling large amounts of tear gas at a protest in 2011, to blocking Israeli activists joining the demonstrations. The latest attempt has focused on another leader of the demonstrations, Abdullah Abu Rahme. Abdullah was recently given a four-month suspended jail sentence, for "interfering with the work of a soldier," with the prosecutor reportedly arguing that Abdullah commits "ideological crimes."
Abu Rahme was told that his jail sentence would be activated if he took part in any more demonstrations. On Friday, he marched at the head of the procession to the wall in defiance of the court ruling. "This is an illegal court, and I refuse to stand in this court even if they force me to go there," Abdullah stated in an interview with the Palestine Monitor.
"What we are doing is not an ideological crime. The soldiers commit this by taking our lands. It is our right to refuse this," he explained. Abdullah said that the soldiers attempted to arrest him at the demonstration but that he managed to escape "They will try to arrest me again for sure, tens of times they tried to arrest me before," he claimed.
Abdullah insisted that nothing could break his will to carry on the fight. "This punishment will not stop me from resisting, even if they succeed to arrest me again. I will continue to resist inside the jail, and I will not stop resisting until my lands are no longer under occupation," he declared.
The example of persistent non-violent resistance in Bil'in inspired similar movements in villages like Nil'in and Nabi Saleh in the occupied west bank. However, only Bil'in and the nearby village of Budrus have had any degree of success in having the separation wall moved back as Israel continues its colonization of the west bank apace. The success and contiguity of the non-violent resistance movement in Bil'in has won international acclaim however, and continues to serve as a symbol of Palestinian resistance to occupation.

From New York magazine an envisioning (without the hysteria) of what the rennovated NYPL will look like.
Now we finally have schematic drawings by Foster + Partners, and though they're far from final, it's wonderful to see intelligent architecture trump panicky rhetoric. Since the day the library opened in 1911, anyone, from the barely literate to the Nobel laureate, could pass between the friendly lions and climb the imperial-scale stairs to the third-floor reading rooms, with their profusion of sunlight and carved timber, and their great oak tables burnished by millions of elbows. But temples grow shabby, books decay, funds run short. The architects and administrators are tackling an inescapable trilemma: You can safeguard the library's mission, its books, or its physical structure, but you can't keep all three exactly as they are.Business leaders are beginning to see 'big data' as the fourth factor of production (FT):
Recently, I clattered down a metal staircase into the claustrophobic and endless honeycomb where 4 million volumes molder away in a warm, damp fug. This is both the library's heart and its skeleton. Thickets of iron columns and seven levels of tightly gridded shelves, held in place by ornamental cast-iron plates, support the upper floors. The library's habitués harbor a great affection for this ink-and-paper habitat—or for the idea of it. The research collection's stacks are almost mythically inaccessible: whenever a call number is dropped into the building's bowels, a library page (aptly named) scampers down the aisles and places books on a conveyor belt like hunks of coal in a mine. None of that needs to change, except that the books — and the pages — will both enjoy a better quality of air.
As the prevalence of Big Data grows, executives are becomingly increasingly wedded to numerical insight. But the beauty of Big Data is that it allows both intuitive and analytical thinkers to excel. More entrepreneurially minded, creative leaders can find unexpected patterns among disparate data sources (which might appeal to their intuitive nature) and ultimately use the information to alter the course of the business.ChaChing: Jury Awards Carnegie Mellon $1.17Billion in patent infringement case (Chronicle):
More cautious, analytical leaders, on the other hand, might find solace in new and multiple sources of information to bolster an existing strategy, for example taking the temperature of the market by collating public opinion on social networks.
More often than not, effective analysis of Big Data involves both a subjective and an objective judgment, i.e both intuitive and analytical thinking. A hotel chain might already base its pricing on analytics, for example (setting prices by linking occupancy rates to the time remaining - much like budget airline price their seats). It might make the intuitive decision to raise prices for a special event, the London Olympics, let's say.
A federal jury in Pittsburgh on Wednesday found that the Marvell Technology Group and Marvell Semiconductor Inc. infringed on patents stemming from the work of a Carnegie Mellon University professor and a former student, and awarded the university roughly $1.17-billion in damages, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.How "mistakes were made" pervades everything even accidentally on purpose (The Nation):
As the first-ever government agency with deniability written into its charter, the CIA was from the beginning a storytelling machine. It was no coincidence that in its early days the organization was full of literature students and writers recruited by influential scholars of English, or that for decades it operated as perhaps the most generous literary patron in the West, funding scores of novels, translations and literary journals. And so it is oddly apt that most Americans know most of what they know about the covert sector—or, more accurately, half-know most of what they half-know—not from fact-oriented discourses like journalism, history and the law, but instead from novels, films, TV shows, comic books and narrative video games: in other words, through fictions, some of them quite outlandish, some chock-full of accurate information and insight, most somewhere in between, and all of them more or less dismissible as "just fiction."More about Ann Patchet's bookstore in Nashville (Atlantic);
Melley's boldest suggestion is that fiction about the covert activity assumes an outsize role not only for members of the general public, but also for most individuals within the covert sector. This is, he argues, a natural consequence of the secret government's size and "hypercompartmentalization," itself a natural outcome of its foundational obsession with deniability. The covert sector is so large, so fragmented into agencies, subdivisions, private contractors and shell companies—often competing with each other for funding and operational jurisdiction—that it can be difficult, if not impossible, for any one of the beast's many tentacles to know what the rest have in their clutches. This is exacerbated by complex classification schemes that parcel out information—even of a single operation—piecemeal on a "need to know" basis, a process that can leave even those with high-security clearances in the dark. Often, Melley claims, those at the top of the totem pole are the most ignorant of all, because what is required of them is not knowledge but its opposite: public expressions of shock when, against the odds, this or that unsavory activity comes to light. Even if those technically "inside" the covert state know a bit more than John Everyman, it is certainly plausible that they hanker to know more—to view the monster from above, and to see its many tentacles writhing at once. Like the rest of us, some often have nowhere better to turn than fiction.
Such a proposition is difficult to prove, but Melley attempts to marshal compelling evidence. In the 1960s, he notes, CIA employees reportedly watched Mission Impossible each week in search of ideas for new gadgets. JFK loved Ian Fleming novels and wanted America to find "our James Bond." The "ticking time bomb scenario," so endlessly invoked in recent debates over the efficacy and morality of torture, has apparently never occurred in real life but famously first appeared in Les centurions, a 1960 French thriller in which French soldiers use torture to extract information from Muslim members of the Algerian resistance. Today, the book is a favorite of US counterinsurgency professionals, including (by his own admission) David Petraeus, until recently the director of the CIA. After 9/11, the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security started recruiting artists—
including thriller author Brad Meltzer—for Red Cell, a project dedicated to imagining how the terrorist attacks of the future might play out. The Pentagon ran a similar program. And in 2008, Defense Intelligence Agency recruits started training on Sudden Thrust, a video game written by a Hollywood screenwriter.
Meanwhile, back in Nashville, Karen and Mary Grey had hired a staff, and together they washed the warehoused Borders bookshelves again and again while they waited for the paint to dry and the new flooring to arrive. In a burst of optimism, we had hoped to open October 1. Lights were still missing when Parnassus finally did open on November 16. We had forgotten to get cash for the register, so I ran to the bank with my checkbook. That morning, The New York Times ran a story about the opening, along with a photo of me, on page A‑1.
Imagine a group of highly paid consultants crowded into the offices of my publisher, HarperCollins. Their job is to figure out how to get a picture of a literary novelist (me, say) on the front page of The Times. "She could kill someone," one consultant suggests. The other consultants shake their heads. "It would have to be someone very famous," another says. "Could she hijack a busload of schoolchildren, or maybe restructure the New York public-school system?" They sigh. It would not be enough. They run down a list of crimes, stunts, and heroically good deeds, but none of them are A-1 material. I can promise you this: kept in that room for all eternity, they would never land on the idea that opening a 2,500-square-foot bookstore in Nashville would do the trick.

As Martha and Richard Wakefield left the Arizona studio of Frank Lloyd Wright in 1946, the world-famous architect offered the Columbus couple some advice. "The last thing he said was, 'Go home, build a house for yourself, buy a Jeep and then build a house for your next-door neighbors,'?" Martha Wakefield would recall years later. "Strangely enough, that's just about what we did - a lot of next-door neighbors."
As Martha and Richard Wakefield left the Arizona studio of Frank Lloyd Wright in 1946, the world-famous architect offered the Columbus couple some advice.
�The last thing he said was, �Go home, build a house for yourself, buy a Jeep and then build a house for your next-door neighbors,�?� Martha Wakefield would recall years later.
�Strangely enough, that�s just about what we did � a lot of next-door neighbors.�
Wright�s passing suggestion resulted, years later, in Rush Creek Village in Worthington, the nation�s largest collection of homes based on Wright�s principles of �organic� architecture.
Now, for the first time, a crucial piece of Rush Creek is for sale � the home built by the Wakefields that helped launch the community.
�This is an important building for central Ohio and for Worthington�s history,� said Darren Kelly, a Worthington native and architect in San Francisco who is writing a book on Rush Creek.
�It is a landmark.�
The 1,993-square-foot, four-bedroom home, listed for $418,000, bears all the trademarks of Rush Creek homes: built of exposed wood, cinder block, brick and glass in an irregular shape; set at an angle well off the street; bearing a low profile with strong horizontal details; loaded with built-in furniture; containing a garage in place of a carport; and of a generally modest size.
The seed of the home was planted when Martha Wakefield devoured Wright�s autobiography when she was in her early 20s.
�In reading the book, I had never found anybody in the world who felt about everything the way I felt about things,� she recalled in a 2000 documentary about Rush Creek.
After visiting Wright in Arizona and stopping on the West Coast, the Wakefields returned to Ohio, where they eventually found land in Worthington for their enterprise. They contacted Theodore van Fossen, a young designer who had worked as a contractor on some of Wright�s buildings.
With Richard �Dick� Wakefield serving as general contractor, the trio launched Rush Creek, which grew to 51 homes and landed a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
�They needed each other � Dick to build, Martha to dream and van Fossen to design,� said Marcia Rees Conrad, a Worthington architect who has studied the community.
Martha Wakefield, who served as Rush Creek�s guru and evangelist, lived in her Rush Creek home until her death, at age 85, in 2007, nine years after her husband had passed away.
�I can still see her sitting here, smoking, telling everyone about Rush Creek,� Conrad said. � She must have shown this house 1,000 times to anyone who was interested.�
Wakefield was famously adamant in her views but was a tireless spreader of the Rush Creek gospel.
�It was her reason for getting out of bed,� recalled Wakefield�s son-in-law, Cris Anderson of Louisville, Ky., who oversees the family trust that owns the house.
The Wakefields started their home in 1954 but didn�t complete it until 1957 � after two other homes had been finished.
�They were living in the house before it was complete, and there were birds flying through the structure,� Kelly said. �That underscores her commitment and her drive.�
Even by Rush Creek�s singular standards, the Wakefield house is eccentric.
The home is a jumble of angles, with walls, ceilings and built-in furniture jagging here and there. All walls are either concrete block or wood, unpainted � which darkens the home even though extensive windows and glass doors open the house to the outside.
One of the home�s two furnaces is tucked into a cabinet above the bathroom; the other is in a closet outside the home. Two of the four bedrooms are tiny and can be opened to one another with an accordion wall.
Unlike many other Rush Creek houses, Martha Wakefield�s house is rich with decorative touches, reflecting her fondness for Wright. Ornamental window screens, ornate hanging lights and a heavy fabric separating the entrance from the living room all carry an orange-and-green geometric pattern.
�Knowing what we know about Martha, that house was exactly the way she wanted it,� Kelly said. � The ornamentation reflects her interpretation of organic design.�
In addition to the built-in desks, beds, cabinets, shelves and tables common in Rush Creek homes, the Wakefield house comes with three table-and-chair sets and a lounging chair built specifically for the house.
The home is also unusual because it is not technically part of Rush Creek, even though it was built by Rush Creek�s founders.
The Wakefield house and one other lie just outside the boundaries of Rush Creek Village, although Anderson said that, as a condition of the sale, new owners might be required to bring the home into the village, where any changes will be subject to approval by an architectural review board.
The most likely change a buyer would make is upgrading insulation in the home.
Conrad is using the house as a laboratory for a class she is teaching at Columbus State Community College on how to improve the energy efficiency of Rush Creek homes.
The home is listed by Cynthia MacKenzie, a Keller Williams Capital Partners agent who has been involved in the sale of 18 of the past 25 Rush Creek homes to come on the market.
She is confident that the home will find a buyer.
With their small kitchens and bathrooms, unconventional layouts and tile and concrete floors, Rush Creek homes aren�t for everyone but do attract a devoted following among academics, designers and artists.
Said MacKenzie: �Martha told me when I first started selling in the neighborhood that �The house picks the buyer;the buyer does not pick the house.�?�

Bundaberg War Memorial
Things To Do Bundaberg, Bundaberg, Queensland
Bundaberg's WWI memorial has the distinction of being unveiled twice – the soldier statue, imported from Italy, had not arrived in time for the ANZAC Day 1921 memorial unveiling and another ceremony was held a year later.
Designed by Bundaberg architect FH Faircloth and contracted to Anselm Odling of Sydney, it is also one of the most expensive WWI monuments in Queensland, costing £1,650.
The marble digger stands on top of column; a pedestal below bears the names of 1 Boer War casualty and 277 men who died in the WWI conflict.
Commemorative plates to later conflicts have been added to the pedestal.
An imposing 11.5 metres high, it stands on an island of neatly striped grass and concrete, creating a traffic roundabout in the sugar cane city's main thoroughfare, its height complementing the adjacent post office tower.

With 50,000 men getting killed a week, who's going to miss a pigeon?
Guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.
Agreed, this is a truly amazing resource. I suspect that some of the material has never been seen before e.g. there is an unreleased clip in the archive from the 1930's which shows Irish Army recruits in training. Brilliant stuff, about 5 minutes long.
If you're interested in seeing footage of the Blue Hussars, there is an excellent piece showing the inauguration of Sean T. O'Ceallaigh as Uactharan na H-Eireann in the late '40's. Excellent shots of the procession through Dublin with some great close up shots of the escort at the Aras.
Also worth searching under "St Patrick's Day Parade" to see some impressive military parades from the 1930's. Now there were some real soldiers!
When you finally get bored with all that, there's some REALLY cheesy general news reel footage in there too.
The National Archives in the London have recently put the medal records of 5 million soldiers online - including lots of Irish soldiers. You might find some ancestor of yours. Have a look at:
A few more historical archives
British Library
National Archives Dublin
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland
Public Record Office, London
British Imperial War Museum
US Army Centre for Military History
It has a load of online books on most military campaigns of the US Army

I found this gem "Doing the Lambeth Walk", I last saw it on "All Our Yesterday's" back in the 60's. Hitler's troop review went something like this. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/t...er_command.htm

Cathal Brugha as it was;
in fact it hasnt really changed that much ;
and say good bye to the next couple of hours
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
some great footage there - this is my favourite and covers an interesting period with everything from the British Army and the Freestate Army to Black and Tans and Sinn Fein.:

...Once a Rifleman - Always a Rifleman... Celer et Audax
The Rifles
Found this today following on from an article in Military History magazine
World War One colour photographs (not retinted, original photographs)
'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.
There is a TV show on History regularly showing colourised newsreel footage of WW1. The French and belgians arrived in the trenches wearing the same bright colours they had worn during the Franco Prussion war. Not unlike that worn by the Guard outside Elysees Palace.
By 1916 they were wearing a more practical design, and mud had dulled the blue greatly.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

I am a new monitor have some queries regarding source data:
1. Must amendments made to the source data be initialed and dated?
2. Whilst conducting monitoring, it appears that source documents such as ECG traces, blood results etc are often stored in different locations/programmes. These programmes are not all accessible to monitors. It is recommended that trial teams have all trial-related results printed and filed in 1 location, instead of having the monitor sit with a member of the trial team in order to view the results in the various programmes?
Thank you for your suggestions.

Hostess Twinkies are returning to store shelves after a brief stopover in bankruptcy.
New owners have taken over Hostess and say they will have Twinkies and other snack products back on store shelves by July 15.
In March, bankrupt Hostess Brands Inc. agreed to sell the snack cake brands to Apollo Global Management, which had offered $410 million and the deal was approved by the bankruptcy court, putting a merciful end to the panic that had overtaken Twinkies groupies.
"A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves," said Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.
Among the impostors was Safeway which in February introduced a Twinkies wannabe product. "It looks like a Twinkie. It tastes like a Twinkie. But this is no dream," Safeway burbled on its Facebook page. "Snack Artist's delicious snack cakes are real."
Hostess shut down late last year after a long-running labor dispute.
