Because of Autumn Lanterns (Why Do I Make Art?)
by charkol
Because of Autumn Lanterns (Why Do I Make Art?)
by Peng-Ean Khoo
October 17, 2009
I went back and forth about posting this piece. It is less about my journeying with Down Syndrome but more about my journeying as an artist and why (I think) I was so compelled to enable the production of ONE FRIDAY. I say I think because I haven't really had time to process it all yet. At this juncture, what I do realise is that ONE FRIDAY, although I had started out as being the person gifiting, I feel I am the primary beneficiary instead – I've been gifted back my gifts. I have been gifted back the gift of art.
This piece was written for Adelina Ong, Centre Director of the Little Arts Academy http://baf.sg/aboutthelittleartsacademy.htm
who do great work in service of children. She had asked three questions:
i) what the purpose of art is – to you personally as an artist
ii) why you have chosen to share your knowledge with children who cannot afford arts training
iii) what your dream/hope/aspiration is for the children you are teaching in LAA
My First Oil Painting
My first oil painting was entitled "Autumn Lanterns". It was autumn, I was 15,000km from my birth place, and still I managed to link some New England foliage to my childhood mid-autumn festival lanterns. That was in 2000. I was 30. I was homesick and art had brought me home.
Why I now make art so furiously and so hungrily is because I never got to make art when I was a child. I never got to make art when I was a child not because there was a shortage of parental care or art materials or money but because NO ONE around me made art. And because of that, the artist in me had stayed buried for 30 years and all that time, a part of me was dead. And when a part of you is dead, you cannot truly live. You cannot truly live because you are mute and when you cannot truly speak, you cannot truly dialogue – with the world or with yourself. And when you cannot dialogue, you cannot reconcile. And when you cannot reconcile, you cannot find peace.
The Day of Autumn Lanterns
In 2000, the day of "Autumn Lanterns", I had gotten to the point in my life where I had nothing to lose. It was a moment where I had stopped "judging" myself, where I had stopped "second-guessing" whether I could make art, and didn't even bother to ask how one makes art. I just put paint on brush and drew what I saw. And that's when I started to learn to live again – I had learnt to engage with the world with my eyes and my hands. I had found my OWN WAY of communing with the universe, especially of the abstract, of the things that no words could describe. I had also found a new SPACE – where we could leave behind all we knew yet we wouldn't ever be lost – because it was my own space and one that I could come in and out of anytime, anywhere. And it was my space, and my space only and there was NO ROOM FOR JUDGEMENT because no one else could enter that space. It was a safe, free space – to tinker away at anything that I couldn't otherwise work out in the conventional existence that we still need to inhabit (in order to fulfil our various responsibilities as a functional human being). I had felt that ANYTHING was possible. It's that feeling of UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES coupled with the feeling of being ABLE. To resolve, the unresolved work of humanity during my historical period, in my one precious lifetime that was bestowed upon me by the universe. In that one moment of stumbling, I had found art.
With that I started to find my own "voice", to learn how to hone it somewhat and then when I got more crisp and started to learn more about art history and art theory, I went and lost that precious moment, and all the self-doubt crept back in and again, I started to feel so small, so insignificant, so hopeless, about what art can do; about what I can do, as an artist.
One Friday
It was only this year that I truly dared to own my gift. And I found it while working on a project where I was making a gift as a mom. I was a mom trying to do her best to make things better for her children, especially her son with an extra chromosome 21. And for his band of brothers and sisters who have yet to be given a REAL CHANCE by the world that has been so WRONG about what individuals with Down Syndrome ARE and CAN BE. The need (to speak out, to cry out) was so compelling that I acted out of a mother's pure primal instinct and went and gathered nearly 100 voices and energies to tell this story. But after the gathering process, I couldn't start. I didn't know where to begin the weaving. I knew I had to work in the film language, a totally new medium for me, in order to speak to the audience of the Internet Age. Everyone had given me their hearts and their most, most vulnerable, innermost hopes and dreams and had fully entrusted me to speak for them. It was so, so precious, and so, so terribly beyond me, that for the second time in my life, I was forced to stop trying to locate myself – in art historical context, labour market context, societal relationships context. Suddenly, from the same reserve that woke me up one day and told me I could be a great mother to a special child, I found this: that even with the little that I do, as long as it is the best I can do, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH. And I just stopped thinking and just started; the same way as Autumn Lanterns. Put paint on brush and slap it on canvas.
And I Began to Make Art Again
And I began to make art again. And I feel so alive again. And I feel so big. And I feel EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. And I feel EVERYTHING GOOD IS POSSIBLE. AND I began to BELIEVE again that EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT. Because with love, we can overcome ANYTHING – ANYTHING.
Suddenly all the noise disappeared and I learnt to just make what was NEEDED to be made, what was NEEDED to be said, without interference and I learnt to simply enjoy gift-wrapping my love in poetry. And it was even more liberating than finding a voice or a space, because now, I have learnt to gift love for others.
Working with Children
When I work with very young children, I am learning from them. I am observing them. I am learning how to engage with the world afresh. Children are the true artists. So free, so uninhibited. With older children who have forgotten this initial instinct, I help remind them about their natural gifts and helping them work at finding and entrenching their own doorways back to their magical selves. I also help show them what adults and children before them have discovered and we talk about respectful and meaningful engagement. And I help provide platforms for children to be heard. By simply sitting adults down and making them watch and stop twitching – and learn to truly listen – to our future.
For children of Little Arts Academy, there is no difference with other children. I used to feel tremendous sadness for children who are materially- challenged or physically-challenged or cognitively-challenged. The other day, some of Mother Theresa's sayings ended up in my mailbox. She speaks about how it is actually the poverty of love being one of the greatest disruptions to peaceful and meaningful co-existence of humankind amongst ourselves and other species. So, with children of Little Arts Academy, who are dislocated from their physical homes/cores, if we gift them the gift of art, they'll be able to find their way home – to themselves. With art, one can be in any state of physical impoverishment, no matter how adverse, and still be able to experience joy and hope. And with the power of BELIEF (in their own abilities to alter an adverse state), these children can overcome ANYTHING and BECOME all that they're meant to be.
So making art for me is about gifting myself.
It's about finding my voice.
It's about saying something meaningful.
It's about helping others find their voices.
It's about crying out for others who have no voices.
It's about finding a safe space.
It's about experiencing that one moment of peace and hope.
It's about love.
It's about being home.

County Puts Off Bad News
The Myth of 80% Funding
Numerous Financial Errors
The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors and MendoCERA held a Joint Meeting on April 28, 2009 - about 5 weeks after the meeting on March 18 and 3 weeks after my article in the Ukiah Daily Journal.
Retirement Administrator Jim Andersen started the meeting with a presentation that included how money in the two Funds - Pension and Retiree Healthcare - is invested. He concluded by saying:
I sent this video with these excerpts from this meeting to the State Controllers Office (see below). Click if you'd like to see/hear for yourself.
For the past few years my understanding is MendoCERA has not made payments for retiree healthcare benefits.
There was something in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago (my article on the previous page) about the high level of earnings in Retirement Health that was much higher than the earnings on the Pension System itself. I hope we can see from this (the presentation he just gave) that's kind of an impossibility - that is an impossibility. It's not how the system works.
Supervisor McCowen immediately said:
But that's what was stated in the (audited financial) reports I believe.
Andersen's response:
In what reports?
(I find it very difficult to believe Mr. Andersen didn't recall which reports the Supervisor was referring to.)
Supervisor McCowen then reiterated the very different returns reported for the Pension and Retiree Healthcare Funds and said that if MendoCERA officials could explain why those errors occurred "that would be great". The following is a transcription from the video:
Former MendoCERA Administrator and County Treasurer-Tax Collector Tim Knudsen:
For a number of years (our CPA) separated out the amount of money reserved for health insurance and he tried to show how we arrived at that amount of money ... trying to do the best he could to comply with the State Controller's directions and to include that in his audit, and it just didn't work. We've had that discussion over a long period of time with the State Controller's Office - they want us to handle the health insurance in a certain way and we can't really do that and keep our records accurately.
He (the CPA) no longer does that (separating health insurance reserves) ... He has since contacted GASB, the AICPA, he has a peer review group that has told him "Don't do what you were doing before, just treat it (retiree healthcare benefit payments) as if it's part of the overall benefits paid to your retirees. Don't segregate it in any way.
Supervisor McCowen:
We do have a situation apparently where the State Controller's Office is asking for a break out between what's related to health care and what's related to the retiree benefits (pensions) and we say "Gee, it's too difficult for us to do it so we're not doing it".
The State Controller wants us to consider that we have no health insurance payments coming out of our retirement system. We have a report where we need to fill in the blanks and we try to fill in the blanks to their (SCO) instructions but when they try to tell us to not include over $4 million that we pay for health insurance - act like it never occurred - we have a problem with that. So I've been working with the State Controller saying "You show us how to do this ... our change in our assets at the beginning of the year and our assets at the end of the year without considering we made a $4 million payment we'll be glad to do it and they haven't been able to do that. It's an ongoing situation we're trying to rectify with the State Controller.
Then current MendoCERA Administrator Andersen:
People in County government can appreciate this - we get a disk that we plug into the computer and the State Controller asks for certain information and it's got little boxes to fill in and frankly they can't work very well outside of those boxes. And we look at those boxes and we say "Those boxes don't accurately reflect our economic activity. How do we reconcile the two?"
So what's been happening is for probably a three or four year period we've been working with the State Controller's Office saying "We don't feel comfortable filling in a report when we leave financial information out" and we just can't seem to find a way to fit it in here that's satisfactory to you (SCO)."
This is a "screen shot" of the compilations of the finances of local governments produced by the Local Government Reporting Section of the State Controllers Office. You can access these reports by clicking here.
Ms. Yee was not the State Controller during the events I describe in this story.
I believe Mr. Knudsen and Mr. Andersen didn't know I had been "working with" the "Local Government Reporting Section" of the "Bureau of Reporting" of the "Division of Accounting and Reporting" of the State Controller's Office (SCO) over the previous 3 years. This "Section" produces a number of annual compilations of the finances of various types of local governments in California - cities, counties, special districts, public retirement systems, etc.
This is the part of the State Controller's Office to which Knudsen and Andersen referred.
When I say I "worked with" this Section I wasn't employed by them nor was I providing contractual services for them. I developed a database of financial data for special districts in California for my use. Although I wasn't focusing on public retirement systems, I became quite familiar with how this office produces these various annual compilations of the finances of local governments.
After the 4/28/09 Joint Meeting I contacted Betty Moya - Manager of the Local Government Reporting Section at that time. I sent her a video of the meeting (you can see it above) and a transcript of key segments. This is an excerpt from an email I sent to Moya on 10/8/09:
As we discussed on the phone today, Mendocino CERA officials told the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors in open session on April 28, 2009 that the reason MCERA Audited Financial Statements contained very significant errors from 1998 through 2002 was because of SCO requirements from your Section. Also - they reported they changed the form of their statements to no longer distinguish between the Pension Fund and Healthcare Fund and benefits largely because they would not be able to maintain their books correctly if they followed SCO requirements.
You confirmed today what I already thought - your office's interest is to produce the annual compilations of the finances of local governments in the State. Your directions don't have anything to do with how local governments - including County Retirement Associations - produce their annual audited financial statements - they only have to do with how local governments provide you the information you need for your annual compilation reports. (Emphasis added)
The Mendocino County's Board of Supervisors was told that SCO requirements directly led to significant errors in Mendocino CERA's audited financial statements and then led Mendocino CERA officials to change the form of those statements so that it is no longer possible to distinguish between the Pension and Healthcare Funds.
I believe it is fair to ask SCO to clarify whether or not SCO directions have anything to do with the format of Mendocino CERA's annual audited financial statements - and in particular if they could have "forced" Mendocino CERA to report significantly incorrect investment return values.
The Board of Supervisors needs to know.
I asked Ms. Moya to communicate what she told me to County officials. However, Ms. Moya said her office doesn't want to get involved in "local political issues".

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — A Delaware County prosecutor has urged county officials to oppose the organization of a needle exchange program, saying he believes the effort to decrease HIV infections was outweighed by risk of those needles being used to cook and use heroin.
The Star Press reports council members unanimously authorized an attorney to draft a resolution opposing a needle exchange program following prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold's presentation of Madison County's needle exchange kit. The package included fresh needles, condoms, saline for injections, small heroin "cookers" with twist-tie handles and a bio-hazard container for used needles.
The Legislature passed a bill this month allowing counties to start needle-exchange programs without state approval. Gov. Eric Holcomb signed the bill Wednesday.
Nine of Indiana's 92 counties have needle exchanges. They started after a 2015 HIV outbreak in Scott County.

She recently graduated from Seattle University with a bachelor's in graphic design with a minor in creative writing. Knapp enjoys shooting, archery, and hot yoga. She is a devoted movie and TV show watcher.
Knapp began writing her first novel, The Undead Situation, when she was about 16, with no other plan than writing the kind of zombie book she wanted to read. Upon finishing it she decided to self-publish on Kindle. TUS quickly climbed charts and gathered a fan base. After barely four months Knapp received an offer from Permuted Press and thus TUS was re-released. The Undead Haze, sequel to TUS, was published in April 2013.
Eloise also does cosplay occasionally, designing costumes for herself and others. This blog has posts progress posts and other information on cosplays, in hopes that other people might find them useful in their own endeavors.

What is happening here? In South Korea there is a growing fad for phone sterilization....Heaven forbid that you might pick up some nasty bug from a unsanitized phone.
Today, Tuesday, 05 October 2004 SK Teletech became the first handset maker in the world to launch silver-nano coated mobile phones with a sterilizing function. The company's new model IM-7400 is a 1.1-megapixel CCD camera phone coated with nanometer (1 billionth of a metre) thick silver particles that are effective, they claim, at attacking pathogens and deodorizing. The anti-germ and anti-odor silver-coating has been applied to home appliances such as TV's, washing machines and vacuum cleaners but, until now, not to handsets - until IM-7400, the company added. In addition, the semi-automatic slide phone is equipped with 180-degree swiveling camera and a huge 100 MB memory. According to "a recent study", a handset is inhabited on average by 25,000 bacteria! Yes, but look at the filth around the average workstation. Believe me, you don't want to know what is lurking there.

Noticing how under-utilised La Boite's performance space was during the day, an actor, Peter Morris, suggested the idea of a children's theatre to Jennifer Blocksidge which would bring school audiences into the theatre during school hours. In typical fashion, she planned strategically for this new venture. Initial discussions with the Queensland Education Department led her to the conclusion that "pre-school children not committed to strict curriculum would most benefit from such a scheme" (The Courier Mail, February 26 1975).
Blocksidge targeted two people whose support would be crucial for the project to go ahead – Arthur Creedy, Director of Cultural Activities and Gerald Ashby, Director of Pre-school Education for Queensland. Her discussions with Creedy and Ashby proved fruitful and a grant was forthcoming to employ three actors for four weeks to plan and create two programs in-the-round for pre-schoolers. She received enthusiastic support for the idea from the Kindergarten Teachers Training College, the Creche and Kindergarten Association and the Directors of kindergartens around Brisbane. The pilot scheme, comprehensively evaluated by teachers, actors, Brisbane Repertory's Council and the Queensland Education Department, was a success and gave Blocksidge the ammunition she needed to submit a plan and a budget for a year's program to the Queensland Education Department and the Australia Council's Theatre Board.
By March 1975 she was able to announce in her Director's Report that the State Government had granted them $15,000 and the Australia Council $5,500 "to launch our first Professional Theatre in Pre-School Education". That it was self-funding was important, as La Boite's Council was wary of this Blocksidge-driven venture into professionalism. "The Council in those days said they could not in any way tolerate the existence of ECDP unless it was funded separately and completely self-supporting", recalled Blocksidge in an interview with Jennifer Radbourne, July 17, 1978. The arrangement with the Education Department was that seconded teachers would have their wages paid by the Department.
Called 'The Early Childhood Drama Project' (ECDP) it was up and running in 1975 under the leadership of Phil Armit, a trained teacher from the early childhood sector. Its immediate success was heartening to Blocksidge who was able to proudly proclaim in her Director's Report that after its first year of operations it was "the first true Theatre-in-Education Team to be working in Queensland and specialising in Pre-school and Grade 1 children". ECDP's early days were not free from detractors within the Repertory community however, and their concerns were largely related to the professional versus amateur debate already underway. Blocksidge responded:
Some of you have asked what the ECDP has got to do with Rep … It's educational and we aren't a school; and it's professional and we're amateurs. My answer to you is this. It has everything to do with Rep. – its professionalism is ensuring that the basic introduction that children in this community are given to theatre – and particularly this theatre – is as good and as sound as we can make it … Get 'em young – and keep 'em! (Director's Report, March 15 1977, Fryer Library, UQ, Brisbane Repertory Theatre Collection)
Over the years, ECDP's reputation for its touring and in-house programs grew, as did its team numbers and range of activities – "The work being carried out by this group is unique in Australia" said Michael FitzGerald in 1976, then the Australia Council's Youth Officer (ibid.).
ECDP continued to be part of La Boite until 1982, employing many Brisbane actors and teacher-artists including Doug Anderson, Narelle Arcidiacono, Gaynor Ashbolt, Chris Burns, Brian Cavanagh, Tricia Circosta, Liz Ferrier, Robert Fitzwalter, Margery Forde, Monica Gilfedder, Margaret Goss, Paul Haseler, Graeme Hattrick, Christine Hoepper, Gillian Hyde, Lil Kelman, Desley Kirkegaard, Sally McKenzie, Warren Meacham, Sean Mee, Peter Penwarn, Roger Rosser, Linda Sproul, Helen Strube, Robyn Sutton, Delwyn Trigger, Penny Wissler and Joe Woodward. After 1982 it broke all ties with the Theatre and re-invented itself as KITE, a renowned company that continued, for many years, the work in early childhood drama begun over thirty years ago.

A fine display on Cabral saw Baker, also the Individual Freestyle Test Grade II champion at London 2012, clinch a third gold of her career with a score of 73.400 per cent.
Dutch combinations secured silver and bronze with Demi Vermeulen second on Burberry with 71.600 per cent and Rixt van der Horst third with 70.743 per cent riding Caraat.
"I am an emotional wreck, I'm still in complete shock," said Baker.
"I can't stop crying, I am just so proud.
"For once, I'm speechless - and that never happens.
"I just cannot believe what happened to me.
"London was so, so special to win it on home turf, but to retain that title, I can't believe it."
Baker managed to win gold despite Cabral not initially feeling at home in Rio.
"A couple of days ago in my first competition, he had a massive spook before we went into the arena and he was just tense and nervous so I didn't reach my full potential then," she said.
"Going into today that was going into the back of my mind and I wanted to be relaxed and calm.
"I just love him.
"He just means the absolute world to me.
"He's amazing.
"I just said to him when we were trotting around in the 10 minute spot 'trust me, completely trust me,' and he did.
"He just worked with me.
"He felt so relaxed, I'm just over the moon with him.
"This will be his last Championship and I just wanted to show the world what he can do and he allowed me to do that today."
In the second final of the day, Christiansen retained the Individual Championship Test Grade IA title she won in London as she struck gold for a sixth time.
She scored 78.217 per cent to win on Athene Lindebjerg with another Briton, 67-year-old Anne Dunham, clinching silver on LJT Lucas Normark with a tally of 74.348.
Dunham has won five gold medals in her career, with the bronze today going to hosts Brazil thanks to Sergio Oliva's 73.826 on Coco Chanel.

Neumann University will host its annual Greccio Live Nativity Celebration on Sunday, Dec. 3. The program, which is free and open to the public, begins at 6:15 p.m. in front of the Mirenda Center for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development on Convent Road in Aston, Delaware County.
Neumann students and faculty will re-enact the Franciscan tradition of the crib, first celebrated in Greccio, Italy, and perform the live Nativity scene and the Scripture narration.
The program will also feature the sounds of sacred Christmas music, performed by the Holy Family Regional School Children's Choir.
All are welcome to visit the university's campus earlier to attend Mass at 4:30 p.m. in Sacred Heart Chapel of Bachmann Main Building and to see (and pet) the manger animals as they arrive at 5:30 p.m.
After the live Nativity program, the community is invited to enjoy traditional Christmas music and refreshments, and to meet Santa in the Devine Hospitality Suite of the Mirenda Center. The animals that participate in the re-enactment will remain on campus until 7:30 p.m.
The live Nativity was first staged in 1223 when a group of friars, organized by St. Francis of Assisi, led a singing throng of local residents to Greccio, a simple monastery in the heart of Italy. The villagers witnessed a primitive crib, surrounded by farm animals and peasants who re-enacted the birth of Christ. This ritual has been celebrated ever since, in Greccio and around the world.
For more information, call Neumann University's Office of Mission and Ministry at 610-558-5511.

Black history isn't done. It's about to be made. March 2, 2017 13:41
Black History Month has come to an end, but there's much more that lies ahead. In the pro-life movement, a new wave is coming ashore; one that's exposing destructive alliances, challenging complicit leadership, and calling the Church to rise up against injustice—to begin to heal the Black community from the devastating effects of abortion.

News: The Archive
For Immediate Release:
MuBANY is proud to be the lead amici with 87 religiously affiliated organizations seeking a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Trump Administration's termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("DACA") program in New York, et al., v. Trump et. al, and Batalla Vidal v. Baran et. al, matters. Both matters are being heard by Judge Garaufis in the Eastern District of New York.
MuBANY has the unique opportunity to speak to legal issues including discrimination and equal protection. In this instance, MuBANY has taken the lead to speak on behalf of religiously affiliated institutions that find the termination of DACA to be contrary to law.
The amicus effort was spearheaded by Adeel Mangi – a former MuBANY board director and current MuBANY member. He is also a partner at Patterson Belknap, Webb & Tyler, LLP. The brief was drafted by teams at Patterson Belknap and Muslim Advocates. The brief describes why DACA is a just response to the humanitarian crisis existing with regard to undocumented individuals within the United States, and the irreparable harm that religious organizations and their congregants will face due to its termination - including how it may impact religious organizations' ability to act as sanctuary locations. The brief can be read here.
MuBANY thanks Adeel, Steven Zalesin, Zachery Kolodin, and Michael Fresco at Patterson Belknap, as well as Muslim Advocates for their efforts in assembling a compelling brief and impressive coalition in this amicus effort.
It has been announced yesterday that President Trump is ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which affects nearly 800,000 DACA recipients that will be forced to stop working and potentially leave the country. Since its inception in 2012, DACA has enabled undocumented immigrants younger than 30 who arrived in the U.S. as minors, to remain in the country and be able to work and study. Due to the program, our country has seen enormous contributions by DACA recipients as they study, work and contribute to local economies. But more importantly, DACA has empowered these recipients to come out of living in fear and pursue their dreams openly in a country that is their home. The end of DACA is a devastating blow to the immigrant community, as well as all communities that believe in the value that immigrants bring to our nation.
MuBANY is deeply disappointed in this decision and remains fearlessly committed to fighting injustice with the power of good law and good people. We join hands and hearts with our brothers and sisters in the greater immigrant communities from which we stem and which we serve. We are in communication with immigration advocates to learn exactly what this will mean for DACA recipients and their families, some of whom we all know personally.
Here is what we know so far:
Here is the link to the USCIS webpage with additional information and this fact sheet: https://www.uscis.gov/daca2017
There is much we do not know yet and we will learn more in the coming weeks. Again, we are with you in these troubling times. If you need any support, or if you are a DACA recipient or family member of a DACA recipient, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Please know that we will do whatever we can to assist you and support you. We will also be with you in the streets fighting back.
Please see below article from the New York Law Journal featuring MuBANY Member Muhammad Faridi and MuBANY Law Firm Chair Adeel Mangi.
Click here to read the entire NY Law Journal article!
The Muslim Bar Association of New York is deeply disappointed in the decision of the Supreme Court to allow parts of President Trump's travel ban to go into effect. While the Court's decision purports to limit the ban's current applicability to foreign nationals lacking any "bona fide relationship with any person or entity in the United States," the lack of clear enforcement guidance both in the decision itself and on the ground at airports around the country, leaves the constitutional freedoms of some our community's most vulnerable members at risk. Perhaps most troubling is the Court's treatment of refugees, who are most likely to lack the requisite connection to the United States.
We look to the Department of Homeland Security to provide clarity to travelers both domestic and abroad, and ensure that those charged with enforcement, including consular officers and border agents, are held accountable for the type of constitutional violations which were rampant with respect to the first Executive Order and are likely to occur again now. Moreover, we, along with our allies in the legal community will, through all lawful means necessary, hold the Justice Department to its stated promise to implement the ban "professionally, with clear and sufficient public notice, particularly to potentially affected travelers, and in coordination with partners in the travel industry."
While we believe that the Court's decision lays the groundwork for more confusion and delay, we look forward to the oral arguments scheduled for this fall and are confident that the Court will more appropriately balance the various factors for consideration in reaching a decision that will have the potential to reshape the course of American history.
MuBANY remains fearlessly committed to fighting injustice, alongside our brothers and sisters in the greater immigrant and minority communities from which we stem and which we serve. We commend you all and thank you for your unwavering support, in your communities, at your airports, and in your day-to-day work.
MuBANY mourns the loss of Nabra Hassanen and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and community. This horrific incident hits especially close to MuBANY - as many of us have had late night suhoors with friends throughout this month - despite the backdrop of the current climate. We hope for strength for Nabra's family and community, as well as for the victims of the terrorist attack on the Finsbury Park Mosque in London - and ultimately that justice prevails for all.

Ali Alsarraf
My name is Ali Alsarraf and I am an associate in the litigation department of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
MuBANY plays a leading role in supporting American Muslim civic engagement, giving a voice to American Muslims within the legal field, and forging connections both within the Muslim legal community and across other legal communities. This past year, I actively engaged with MuBANY's board to support these goals. In December, I helped organize and hosted at my firm a post-election panel titled "The Election is Over: How did we get here? What's next?" with MuBANY, AABANY, and SABANY. In March, I hosted at my firm a panel titled "Why Black Lives Matter to Muslims" organized by MuBANY, the NY Civil Liberties Union, and the Metropolitan Black Bar Association. If elected to MuBANY's board, I will continue these efforts to attempt to shed light on important topics concerning the American Muslim community.
I am also passionate about issues related to diversity and inclusion, particularly in the legal field. As a co-chair of my firm's Diversity & Inclusion Committee, I created a Muslim Affinity Group and a Religious Observance Affinity Group. I also created and spearhead a monthly book club where we read and discuss books and articles concerning diversity and inclusion, such as Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists.
In addition to being an excellent forum to learn about diversity and inclusion, the book club gives associates a much-needed outlet to discuss issues related to diversity in a safe space. If elected to MuBANY's board, I would like to organize a similar program for MuBANY members. I would also like to devote efforts to increasing diversity and inclusion in MuBANY's membership.
MuBANY has also played an important and leading role in the defense of the American Muslim community in the wake of the new administration. As an active participant in the fight against the "Muslim ban," I can further MuBANY's efforts in that space. I joined the hundreds of lawyers who flocked to airports to protect the civil liberties of American Muslims, and I led two Know Your Rights programs with the Somali community and a youth organization in Harlem. Notwithstanding the dark times ushered in by the new administration, I have been very proud and inspired to see the new relationships built across communities and our community's renewed civic engagement.
I hope to further support our community's renewed engagement and am very excited to continue my work with MuBANY.
Shabbir Chaudhury
Salaam, my name is Shabbir Chaudhury and I have previously served as a MuBANY director in 2015 and 2016. I hope you will give me your vote for Director; I look forward to serving the community again.
During my previous terms as Director, I helped revamp MuBANY's logo and website, and increase MuBANY's use of digital and social media. If elected as Director, I hope to continue efforts to increase MuBANY's digital presence. Additionally, I hope to build on past efforts to increase MuBANY's member roll and partner with new and diverse bar associations to create relevant and exciting programming for the organization.
With regard to my professional background, I am currently a Corporate Counsel at MetLife, focusing on litigation and regulatory business risks. Prior to that, I worked at the NYC Law Department as an Assistant Corporation Counsel where I defended the City against tort claims.
MuBANY has developed itself into a respectable institution within the communities it engages. Over the past few years, the organization has become known as a voice for Muslim people in New York. I would like to continue building upon that tradition and help MuBANY and its members progress further. It is with that intent and purpose that I would like to serve as a Director for MuBANY.
My name is Amin Kassam and I am Senior Counsel at Bloomberg L.P. , where I focus on litigating and advising on issues relating to new media, technology, privacy, and intellectual property. I am also a member of Bloomberg's Diversity Council and the Diversity Champion for Our Legal Department.
As an attorney for the past sixteen years, I often spent much of my time practicing as one of the first or only Muslim lawyers at the law firms and federal clerkships where I started my career. Living through 9-11 without the support of a community of Muslim lawyers was lonely and challenging. Over time, I have watched MUBANY grow and flourish and provide our community tremendous opportunities to come and work together. It has inspired me to put forward my candidacy for a position on the MUBANY Board of Directors.
Throughout my career, I have worked to help and support the rights of Muslims and other minority groups. For seven years, I served on the National Board of the Aga Khan Conciliation and Arbitration Board helping to provide free mediation services to Ismaili Muslims throughout the country. More recently, I was elected to the Board of Directors of the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) which has worked tirelessly to protect the rights of Muslim Americans and other marginalized communities.
At a time when the rights of Muslims in the United States are under tremendous threat, I believe that it is critical that we build coalitions and draw upon allies in order to support all of our efforts to protect the civil rights of Americans. We can only move forward by working together. This is what inspired me to organize and lead a difficult but important joint discussion sponsored by MUBANY, NYCLU, and the Metropolitan Black Bar Association entitled "Why Black Lives Matter to Muslims." If elected, I hope to continue to create programs and initiatives that build bridges across communities while further enhancing diversity and inclusion within MUBANY.
My name is Sania Khan, and I am running for a Director position with MuBANY for the 2017-2018 term. I am an Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Rights Bureau at the New York State Attorney General's ("AG") Office, and serve as the Muslim Communities Liaison for the Office. My work in these roles has focused primarily on the travel ban ("Muslim ban") litigation and generally working on the Office's Religious Rights Initiative. Additionally, in 2015, I created a CLE entitled "The Muslim-American Community: An Introduction to the Basics of Islamic Practices and Relevant Emerging Legal Trends," which was attended and webcast state-wide to hundreds of attorneys from the AG's Office, as well as employees from 23 New York State agencies. The CLE was also held at the New York City Bar Association, and was co-sponsored by MuBANY.
I have been a member of MuBANY since 2011, and have had the privilege of seeing MuBANY become a pillar of the legal community in New York. If given the opportunity to serve as a Director, I would further these efforts by focusing on activating untapped networks, some of which may even exist within the membership of MuBANY, to create diverse alliances and events. I would also focus on developing MuBANY's role as an educational resource for both Muslim and non-Muslim attorneys and entities throughout New York. And to the extent possible, I would aid MuBANY's engagement with the public sector.
I intend to be resourceful and dedicated in executing this vision. Thank you for your consideration.
I'm Nausheen Rokerya, Associate General Counsel, Labor & Employment at Visiting Nurse Service of New York, and I invite you to re-elect me to the MuBANY Board as a Director. Having served on the Board this year and cultivated my relationships both inside and outside of the organization, I believe I can expand my contributions this coming year in the following ways:
This year, I served on the host committee for MuBANY's second annual Gala & Awards Reception and assisted with various aspects of coordinating a highly successful event. I believe the Gala presents a significant opportunity for MuBANY to garner greater visibility in the region. If re-elected, I will bring my working knowledge of what has worked well in the past, and reflect on constructive feedback received. I will work to ensure that the Gala continues to provide a return on investment for MuBANY's members.
Through my work on this year's Eid Social and Gala, I have established relationships with other minority bar associations in the region that I intend to utilize to help our members grow their networks. MuBANY members stand to directly benefit from such expanded opportunities via invitations to events hosted by other organizations, and the ability to have a voice at discussions on topics affecting our communities. I believe that active engagement with other bar organizations and communities is critical, especially in these unprecedented political times. I will advocate for our continued collaboration with the broader legal community.
In addition to continuing to provide support on key events in the year to come and facilitating MuBANY's relationships with other bar associations/communities, I also look forward to launching the below two initiatives:
I will help revitalize MuBANY's existing formal mentorship program, as well as help foster organic relationships by connecting members with others both inside and outside of the organization. This year, I took an important step toward being able to implement this program by taking an inventory of and reviewing our current membership details to better understand our makeup as an organization.
As a graduate of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, I am well connected to attorneys (on both sides of the table) and HR executives across industries, in both the public and private sectors. This year, I gauged our membership's interest in coordinating a practice group for labor and employment practitioners and coordinated and informal meet 'n' greet dinner. This year, I would like to develop this initial gathering into a more structured group, arrange regular sessions for dialogue, and eventually, panel discussions. I look forward to creating a practice group model that others can implement with respect to other practice/interest areas.
I look forward to the opportunity to serve MuBANY once again as a Director, and would greatly appreciate your vote. Thank you.
Nafees Syed
Salaams all,
My name is Nafees Syed and I'd be honored to serve on the MuBANY board as a Director. Here are a few ideas I'd love to work on --
I'm currently an associate at Boies, Schiller & Flexner and previously worked on Capitol Hill. I graduated from Yale Law and Harvard University.
Thanks for your consideration, and I hope I can count on your vote!
For Immediate Release:
Today MuBANY mourns the loss of Judge Abdus-Salaam. This is a tremendous blow to the legal community. God willing she will be remembered for all the good she has done and the barriers she has broken. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
Ina lilah wa ina ilayhi raji'oon (may Allah bless her).
On February 16, 2017, MuBANY hosted the Honorable Denny Chin to share his journey to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The event was held at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, LLP in New York City.
The day of the EO signing (Jan 27), a memorandum was filed by the U.S. Department of State. This visa revocation memorandum provisionally revoked all immigrant and nonimmigrant visas held by nationals of the seven countries named in the Executive Order. In one fell swoop, the federal government upended the lives of tens of thousands of students, doctors, refugees, artists, and others – many of whom had waited years for their visas or who had traveled in and out of the United States for years on such visas.
Darweesh v. Trump addresses the legality of the President's Executive Order, which purports to suspend the entry of people from the seven designated countries and refugees into the United States.
Amici support the arguments of the petitioners that this order is illegal, and submit this amicus brief to address the emerging and related question of the illegality of the memorandum revoking visas on a class wide basis for all visa holders from the seven designated countries.

Goldendale Golf Club members and high school team get lessons from pro coach
April 18, 2018
Last Wednesday and for the previous 10 years at the Goldendale Golf Club, professional golf coach Jeff Bender has made the trip to Goldendale from his hometown of Prosser to help partake in the annual Pete Lee Memorial Clinic.
Bender, who's been golfing his entire life, reached Pacific Northwest Section and the Nebraska Section of the PGA, 'but his heart was always in coaching and training the game,' which he's done for most of the last two decades.
But last Wednesday at the Goldendale Golf Club, Bender held two training sessions, a morning session for club members and an afternoon session with members of the Goldendale High School golf team, with his Trackman.
Bender brought his Trackman, "the best and most accurate launch monitor and golf radar on the market," which provides you with the most accurate feedback on ball flight and club data among many other things.
He's been coming to Goldendale at least once a year for a decade, dodging deer on the way down while once running out of gas in Bickleton. He had worked in Goldendale earlier though, and coached a pair of siblings who went on to golf collegiately after stellar high school careers.
"Two young people came out of the mountains – Bree and Zach Wanderscheid – and they didn't have a lot to go with," Bender said.
Not too long after, Zach won a pair of Class 1A state golf championships before going on to golf at the University of Idaho while Bree also won two state titles and is currently golfing in her senior year at Washington State University.
Bender coached the siblings from Goldendale, but also coaches golfers from all over the northwest.
He currently coaches kids from Tacoma, Lewiston, Idaho, La Grande and Arlington, Oregon, along with a handful of players around the Yakima Valley.
Before Bender started to coming to Goldendale every year, the high school team used to go over to Prosser to the Black Rock Creek Golf Course and train with Bender.
Sherrye Morrison, the bookkeeper at the Goldendale Golf Club, thought it would be a good idea and beneficial to the Goldendale golf community as a whole if Bender came to Goldendale to not only teach the high schoolers, but anyone around town who's interested.
"I said, 'What about if we bring Bender here to Goldendale instead of just the juniors benefiting, let some of the residents, the members benefit from it as well,'" Morrison said.
Bender then began coming to Goldendale, setting up mini sessions to work individually with club members before working with the high schoolers during their practice.
When the members heard Bender would be in town to work individually with them with his Trackman, they couldn't sign up quick enough.
"But when (the members) heard they were going to have an evaluation, a one-on-one with Jeff Bender, I mean, they signed up right away," Morrison said.
Bender's former students have earned massive scholarships in the past, with one of his top academic girl golfers even earning a $416,000 academic scholarship to Pomona College, a Division III school in Claremont, California.
"That's the biggest reward," Bender said. "Look, if you can play this game, and you want to play it and go to college for free ... there are golf scholarships just sitting there."
That's one of the aspects of the job that he enjoys most, setting his players up for success on the golf course but more importantly setting them up for success later in life.
"I can say that I've played with Tiger Woods. I can say that I've played with Phil Mickelson," Bender said. "But no, my fondest memories actually keep going. I'm 48 now and there's some really surreal things that are happening now."
Bender currently coaches a few high school girls who he knows have the talent to play professionally down the road. One of his students is the youngest national ranked women's golfer in the state and another he's played with is ranked in the top 150 golfers nationally.
"So I'm literally looking at two young ladies and I'm going 'I'm playing with future tour players.' So it's very, very spooky because they're good in all sorts of ways," Bender said.
He's played on the PGA Tour, he's golfed with some of the legends of the sport, but Bender looks at older golf coaches who have guided their students to the top of the sport, and hopes to soon see himself in the same position.
"I think the best is yet to come," Bender said. "I would say I've had some good memories but I'm hoping there's better."
More information on Bender and his golf academy can be found at bendergolfacademy.com.

IN THE HOME OF THE FUTURE, appliances will be linked like hardware on a computer. Just like a new wireless keyboard, printer or touch screen monitor, you need only place the new appliance into service and it will communicate on a machine to machine basis (M2M), providing useful data for energy and performance optimization. But electronic communication is one part of the equation. There is also the concept of "Thermal Communication".
The household appliances in our "Celestia Home of the Future" will prompt, "Do you really want to start the washing machine now, while the shower is on and the dishwasher is running? Please allow me [the smart M2M system] to start this for you later, when energy and water consumption can be optimized, saving 1.3 kWh of peak load energy consumption." This simple logic and communication between machines, homes and communities will defer infrastructure costs for building of power plants that could be averted.

We aren't condoning doing a repeat of this, but we do have a few ideas for you to enhance your random chat adventures. Here's a big ol' list.
Avoid Text-Based Chat
If you've used any randomly-based chat site, you've probably experienced it:
Are you [insert something sexually suggestive here]?
It's a little bit easier to avoid this nonsense with video chats. I mean, text-based chat isn't always going to be bad. But video allows you to: 1) put a face to the person, and 2) have a more engaging, human experience.
This isn't to say you aren't going to see a few unwanted images. In that case, well, you may want to stick to something a little more text-based. But if you're willing to sift through the smut, this may be for you.
Get Personal
Rather than typical chat fare, why not get a little more personal with your questions? Ask about religious beliefs, family history, life goals, hardest life battles, etc.
There's no reason not to go beyond "What do you like to do for fun?" or "What do you do for a living?"
This is part of the human experience!
Chat At Non-Normal Hours
It's 4 a.m., and everyone you know in the real world is asleep. But the people in other parts of the real world aren't, and they are also often in the digital world. By chatting at abnormal times for your sleep schedule Got Insomnia? Fall Asleep With Relaxing Music [Sound Sunday] Free music downloads, streaming albums, and a playlist to ground your thoughts and help you drift off into sleep. Read More , you can interact with people miles upon miles away.
This will help you to encounter individuals you wouldn't be able to otherwise. So if you get the chance, stay up late and make a new friend. Maybe you'll learn something new, too.
Bring In Friends
Playing it safe by bringing in local friends to your random chat (again, it's better if you use video) will help out infinitely. This adds a little bit of a "party atmosphere" to it all rather than the intimate environment that one-on-one chats typically provide. Everything is a little more light-hearted, and you also probably won't be as creeped out if you do come across a strange character.
Play Some Music
Music is the universal language, and by playing music on your phone or even playing on an instrument yourself (however bad your webcam microphone may be), you open up the door to either share a new sound or a commonality with someone far away. Music always provides a way to enter conversation, regardless of who you are or where you are from.
(That's why the earlier video caught on so quickly.)
This is a great opportunity to exchange a multitude of various cultural experiences with people from all over the world, not just music-based ones.
Keep A Map
This is a little more involved, but here's a fun thing to do: keep a map Become a Google Maps Boss With These 6 Crucial Tips How can you make use of Google Maps to the utmost? What sorts of tricks await your utilization? Keep reading to find out how you can become a Google Maps pro in no time. Read More and mark the location of each person you meet. You can have a map of your home country or continent (if you chat at normal hours) or you can go a little more global. This could easily transform into an online project of sorts, or maybe even a personal blog.
This is a great way to keep track of the people you've met that you wouldn't be able to without random chat sites. It's amazing what the world of today offers!
Stay In Touch
Lastly, and this applies only to trustworthy encounters, try to stay in touch with the people you meet. It's important! Random chats can easily move to lifelong friends on social media, and who knows, if you're traveling you may very well just have a place to stay in the future.
What other tips do you have for random chats? What's your favorite random chat site?

Dallas Children's Theater
Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Joan Cushing
Adapted from the Diary of a Worm series by Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, © 2011 Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss
By special arrangement with Pippin Properties, Inc., and Gurman Agency LLC
This coolest-ever rock-and-roll romp of three unlikely friends captures the droll humor and whimsy of the picture book series written by Penn State alumna Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Harry Bliss. Insects rule in the diaries of unlikely best friends Worm, Spider, and Fly. Worm eats his homework, Fly believes she has superpowers, and Spider can't wait to grow up and molt.
Promoting eco-consciousness, earth science, and tolerance of others, Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly—with book, music, and lyrics by Joan Cushing—is a joyful and hip musical exploration of the world outside. Audience members might just find that a bug's life is not all that different from their own.
"The raucous, joyous show rapping spiritedly at Dallas Children's Theater offers an intoxicating mix of educational and entertainment fare …," writes a Dallas Morning News reviewer. "It's a memorable biology lesson and uplifting message for kids seeking their own special role in the world."
The National Endowment for the Arts designated Dallas Children's Theater, named by Time as one of the top five children's theatre companies in the United States, as an American Masterpieces Touring Artist.

Joe DeVera: A Former Marine Retraces Conflict | KCET
Joe DeVera: A Former Marine Retraces Conflict
"How did we get here?" This is a question frequently appended to debates on evolution versus creation. But to artist Joe DeVera, the question serves as a vehicle to retrace the history of conflicts in our time and, in turn, to comprehend the recurring events of human tragedy. His latest body of work, a series of paintings and a site-specific installation, produced in the summer of 2015 at the Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency (JTHAR) organized by its program director, Frederick Fulmer, was a testament to his ongoing investigation.
The artist's question, which emerged deeply in his work, began long before his adult years. But the inquiry became articulated visually during his education in graduate school. DeVera, a Southern California native from Orange County, graduated from Yale School of Art in 2014 with an MFA in painting and printmaking. He served the United States Marines from 2001 through 2008, taking part in two deployments to Iraq, prior to coming back mainland to pursue his education. These distinct entities informed his work, as well as the rigor of his thought processes. He began his art practice primarily in painting. He considers the works of artists Gerhard Richter and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as writer, W.G. Sebald as informative sources for his artistic process. It was during his years at Yale that he integrated sculpture and installation into his practice and became profoundly interested in equating an object's utility to its vulnerability.
Case in point, the installation entitled "34° 13' 59" N 116° 25' 00.9" W" is named after the coordinates of an abandoned structure on Winters Road in Yucca Valley. The building sits atop Yucca Mesa less than five miles from paved roads. With only its framing and foundation intact, the 600 square foot structure was intended for domestic living. One side of the structure is exposed and torn wide open where visitors can enter. Those who venture in are greeted by two figures formed by layers upon layers of parachute fabric and paracords situated on top of wooden legs from salvaged furniture.
The figures resemble domesticated creatures -- indistinctly, horses or oxen. Their heads, bowed down as if they were grazing. Adjacent to them sits a desk with rusted nuts and bolts, and a dismantled cellphone suggesting the construction of a makeshift detonator. In its compartmental cubbies rests a topographical map, a woven rope and a folded, nylon fabric. Two of DeVera's paintings hang on various areas of the interior -- one painted on metal from Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands off the Pacific Ocean. The other is an oil painting on wood alluding to a digital reading from drone surveillance. Natural elements of the Yucca Valley such as the dust, debris and the desert wind lend a haunting auditory track to this tableau.
"I am aware of the openness of the venture, having installed in an abandoned house that itself was stripped clean of any worthwhile material," DeVera stated. "I fully expected that weather, time and the local inhabitants would eventually run its course, eventually leaving the objects damaged and bare. However, I was still taken off guard at the immediacy of which the encroaching surroundings impacted the installation."
DeVera's work is semi-autobiographical in the same respect as Fluxus artist Joseph Beuys's is, particularly in his body of work "The Pack" (1969). Beuys's work, like DeVera, was informed by his military experience. Beuys also employed a number of utilitarian objects that evoked security and survival to the composition of his installation. The 24 sleds featured in "The Pack" resemble a pack of dogs tumbling out of a Volkswagen van. While at Yale, DeVera's project, "Beast of Burden" was a subject that intertwined the concepts of utility and vulnerability. This piece was the genesis of his inquiry, which later informed his most recent body of work in Joshua Tree. He was interested in showing an object that was greater than the sum of its parts. "Beast of Burden" featured an archetype of a pack animal -- a whale, which the artist assembled with plastic tarps that occupied a 50-by-40 square foot gallery space.
For DeVera, the objects are a means to explore a parallel narrative between man and "beasts." In, "34° 13' 59" N 116° 25' 00.9" W," his principal question of "how did we get here" is pursued by another inquiry -- "who carries the burden?"
The installation presents a reciprocating dialogue between these creatures and the military. As human beings we depend on these creatures for husbandry to nurture and sustain our lives. Likewise, we value, honor and have the same level of dependency on the men and women who defend our country and our well-being. From the multiple tiers of parachute fabric, to the collection of found relics, man and creature co-exist in the cyclical act of nurturing, preserving and memorializing.
The installation revealed itself to be more than just an artwork at face value. It became a potent space where the actions imposed by the desert's natural elements and tracks of local habitants became a test for human interaction and a testament of the human condition. Objects were altered or disappeared. With no security, docents or institutional walls for protection, the sheer defenselessness of the installation became immediately apparent, as curious onlookers or wayward off-roaders who sought any value within it would encounter no resistance in taking an object from it or destroying anything they wished.
DeVera began to accept the vulnerability of his artwork. He routinely stopped by the location daily to check on any movement of the objects. Even after the completion of his residency, DeVera's return to the installation site became a ritual, trekking from Orange County and back to the desert to mend and repair what was unmade. "It became quite an emotional process," stated DeVera.
While the installation remains in a remote part of the area, fragments of DeVera's work that resonate the dialogue of the site are on view at the Joshua Tree art gallery. A painting entitled "Vertebrae" (2015) that sits on top of found furniture resembles the desk installation at the Yucca Mesa site. Another body of work is an untitled mixed media piece consisting of spray paint and a moth that the artist found in his studio at Joshua Tree. JTHAR hosted a reception that featured the works of the artists who received residency. In the gallery, the objects stand as both art pieces and relics representing the installation site.
As word got out about the installation and its vulnerable state, local residents began to checkup on the site. Joshua Tree residents and JTHAR hosts Ruth and Steve Rieman, who own the main house across the studio DeVera occupied during his residency, frequent the site during their morning walks. Random visitors visit the location find a sense of solace and contemplation, listening to the sound of the wind while observing the objects, knowing to respect the space and its contents.
DeVera's work exists in a democratic landscape where it is situated in an area with occupied and abandoned dwellings, creatures, vagrants and other desert dwellers. He never intended the installation to possess a second layer of experience where the objects and its viewers share the space as a sense of sanctuary from the possible harm inflicted by man. In the same regard, his work poses a series of cyclical trials that we take for granted.

Myofascial Release is a therapeutic technique that results in the lengthening of the body's connective tissue/fascia. Fascia is the tough connective tissue surrounding and infusing everycell like a spider web. It is elastic, strong and fluid, providing support and flexibility to allstructures of the body.
Injury, trauma and poor posture cause these fascial fibers to tighten, shorten, thicken and adhere to each other, putting abnormal pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, bones,organs and the brain. Pain, limited motion and structural misalignment are some of the outcomes of fascial restrictions.
Treatment Benefits
Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on approach used to free up fascial restrictions throughout the body. Sustained pressure is applied to the fascial barrier for 90 to 120 seconds, awaiting a release, and then repeated into the next barrier. After a series of releases, a noticeable softening can be felt as the tissue elongates.
As fascial layers are released, you will notice results such as:
Decreased pain
Greater flexibility
Improved sports performance
Increased range of motion
Improved balance
Better posture
Greater structural integrity
Trauma, inflammatory responses, and surgical procedures can create Myofascial restrictions producing intense pressures and pain on sensitive structures that do not show up on standard tests (x-rays, CAT scans, etc.).
Learn more about the conditions for which Myofascial Release can provide relief.
