Summary Too many young African-Americans are destroying their lives either by suicide, homicide, or in fatal accidents. In the past 25 years, the overall suicide rate of African-American youth ages has more than doubled; males between ages 20 to 24 account for most of the increase.
The female rate increased from 1. The article has four goals: Methodological Issues Suicide is just one form of violent behavior that characterizes the self-destructive lifestyle of many low income, inner-city African-American youth.
The three leading causes of death for males ages are homicide, accidents, and suicide. These three types of violent death appear to be related. Many accidents may be intentional and many lethal confrontations with police may be deliberate.
Karen, a recent graduate of an Ivy League college, was having difficulty in deciding whether to work or return to graduate school. She could not communicate her ambivalent feelings toward whites or her self doubts to her parents.
She broke up with her boyfriend, withdrew from her friends, and argued constantly with her parents. Late one afternoon following a heated argument with her father, she was driving alone on the freeway when her car suddenly accelerated and crashed into a bridge abutment.
Karen was killed instantly on the eve of her 22nd birthday. Conceptual Perspectives Three conceptual perspectives may help explain the epidemic of suicide: The sociological approach is seen in the theory of Emile Durkheim The impact of the unstable environment for many African-American youth is extremely traumatic.
The ecological perspective suggests that youth suicide rates increase in proportion to the increase in age group population. Increase in competition for scarcer resources and opportunities leave youth vulnerable for suicidal behavior.
Sociocultural Factors Some sociocultural factors are positive and help prevent African-American youth from suicidal behavior. These protective elements include the strong family, the church, fraternal and social organizations, community schools, extended kin, and social support networks.
Still, other sociocultural factors add risk to the African-American youth: The suicide rate is higher for African-American males than for females.
It is suggested that child rearing strategies may attribute to the difference. Males are disciplined more harshly, trained for independence earlier, and positively reinforced for aggression and sexuality. Females receive more nurturance, later independence training, and more reinforcement for academic training.
Assessment and Early Intervention Clinicians should focus on three aspects of assessment.
First, African-American youth at risk are likely to be verbally abusive, report physical problems, act out and flounder in school, and have relationships with their peers that are filled with conflict.
Next, they may also be involved in persistent risk-taking, sexual responsibility, substance abuse, and delinquency.
Finally, the life stress indicators should be examined loss of parent, poverty, frequent mobility, health problems, child abuse, and others.
It is important for doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, and others to be familiar with the indicators and symptoms that put youth at risk.
Clinics should be located in inner-city schools giving access to youth in need of counseling. Prevention services should be located in inner-city neighborhoods. Police and community relations need improvement.
Positive role models must be provided for youth whether at risk or not. Early intervention may help prevent some suicides. As long as there remains a wide gap between the American dream of success and the ability to realize that dream, African-American youth will remain at risk.
Questions for Reflection and Discussion Is the problem of suicide in African-American youth larger than perceived? Related to suicide, what is the impact of society on African-American youth? How can support networks for African-American youth be strengthened?
Can you identify the symptoms of an African-American youth at risk?The Guardian - Back to home.

New Delhi: A federal US body on international religious freedom on Monday called the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) a ‘dangerous turn in wrong direction’ and called for American sanctions on Union Home Minister Amit Shah if the bill is approved by the Parliament.
The Bill was tabled in the lower House for discussion by the Home Minister, who also heads the ruling BJP. It was approved late last night after a nearly 12-hour-long debate with a 311-80 majority.
In a statement, the US Commissions For International Religious Freedom (UCIRF) said, “We are deeply troubled over the passage of the bill in the Lok Sabha. If it is passed in the Rajya Sabha too, and thus the Parliament, the US government should consider sanctions against Home Minister Amit Shah and other principal leadership.”
“The bill, which was originally introduced by Home Minister Shah, worries us due to the religious criterion in it,” the statement further said.
Separately, the body, on its official Twitter account, said, “The CAB enshrines a pathway to citizenship for immigrants that specifically excludes Muslims, setting a legal criterion for citizenship based on religion.”
Critics of the bill, which is likely to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, argue that in excluding Muslim refugees from Indian citizenship, it discriminates against them on religious basis. The CAB aims to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhist, Parsis and Christians, who, facing persecution in Muslim-majority Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, migrated to India before December 31, 2014.
It is also argued that Indian Muslims, too, will be left ‘stateless,’ if CAB is indeed implemented.
The Home Minister, however, has assured in the Lok Sabha that the bill is ‘not even 0.001% against the minorities.’

First SxS - slight problem
I got my first SxS and I need a little help.
I picked up an Ithaca SKB 200e 20ga and I want to clean it up a bit. I was able to get the fore arm off easily, but I can seem to get the barrels free from the receiver (my OU shotguns are less complex?).
I was able to find schematic for the gun, but I wasn't able to decipher what I needed to do to separate the barrels from the receiver. I don't want to start randomly turning screws - can anyone offer some guidance?

It’s not a crackdown, says Sgt. Juan Griego of the state’s Special Investigation Division. But at a meeting held last Tuesday, May 9, by the Downtown Action Team, the topic of choice was public safety. At the event, the city rolled out its plans for Downtown enforcement this summer. And it goes a little something like this:• The New Mexico Department of Public Safety’s Special Investigation Division (SID) will be making special efforts to control underage drinking and sales to intoxicated people.• Police presence will increase, with more officers on Segways and bicycles.• Six security cameras will be installed at major intersections in the Downtown area to be monitored from a remote location.• The Alvarado Station at 100 First Street, near the Century 14 theater, will include a prisoner transport center, a place where officers can drop off prisoners to be transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center. This will save officers the 17.5-mile trip to the center on the Westside. • An anti-cruising ordinance, passed by the City Council on May 2, 2005, will be strictly enforced.SID agents will be testing people on the street, says Griego. If someone blows more than a .14 on the Breathalyzer, the last person seen serving that patron liquor will be be charged with serving an intoxicated person. Depending on the size, weight and tolerance of the drinker, a .14 can be four, five or six drinks, according to Griego. Penalties vary, but if found guilty in Metropolitan court, servers can be fined or lose their server’s permit. The establishment could be forced to close their doors for a couple days and fined up to $5,000, depending on how many previous violations the business has. If violations become recurring and are considered a problem, the bar could lose its liquor license. Capt. Ron Paiz, who oversees the Valley Area Command (Downtown lies in the district), says there will be an increased number of officers in the area, though they will be more spread out. “There will be less police on Fourth and Central,” he says. “We’ll keep an eye on parking structures and people who hang out on the periphery and like to cause trouble.”Also, Paiz says officers will more often be on bikes, horses and Segways, making it easier for them to get from place to place. “It opens up dialog with the people,” he says. “It’s more friendly, more of a community-friendly tool, I feel.” Paiz says he’s also glad the prisoner transport station will be Downtown, because it means more officers from all parts of the city will be in the area dropping off people they’ve arrested. And the cameras? Just an “added level of safety,” Paiz says.

The main character for our series is Hortense the Honey Bee and the stories are about her adventures as a forager. (Before you go all "what-kind-of-a-name-is-Hortense" on me, let me explain... Hortense comes from the latin word meaning Garden... plus I like old fashioned names:-))
The first book is called "Hortense the Honey Bee and the Giant Tomato Tree," and while I am NOT going to publish it here on the blog I do want to say that I love personification! AND I love how I was able to creatively tie in concepts like companion and guild planting and beneficial insects into it, without sounding too "Hippy," as my dad calls it. If you are interested in hearing more, leave me a comment below or visit my art blog!
|I sketched this out while I was writing the book... I know the "tomato tree" looks more like an apple tree., BUT it's supposed to be a tomato tree, so use your imagination!|
Just in case you were wondering what I mean by companion/guild planting, I'll explain. Companion and guild planting is where you put a group of different plants together to help support each other. For example, Onions and Tomatoes grow really well together. Beans, Corn and Squash are also a great little guild. My favorite (simply because I love Cherries) is a Cherry Tree Guild. I'll be posting on that later!
Let me explain further. You plant beans with corn and squash because the beans fix nitrogen, and corn is a heavy nitrogen eater and the squash acts as a ground cover that keeps weeds out, and it enjoys the nitrogen as well. Plus the corn stalks are a built-in trellis for your beans! They all work together to make a crop that is bigger, and healthier than it would have been if they were planted on their own.
If you have a plant that is susceptible to a fungus, plant it with one that has antifungal properties. If your plants are famous for attracting the wrong sort of insect, plant it with one that either repels the delinquent insect, or that attracts a predator for the delinquent. You get the idea.
All things work together in nature. You just have to help them out sometimes.

Thirty years ago my dad acquired a Rolleiflex 2.8F which had been part of a large government scientific project, but because it had been bought with external funds, his division didn’t want it after the project ended, so he got to keep it. After using it to make the above image at East Rennell, Solomon …
I remember covering the Black Lives Matter protests in the US a few years ago–before I made the switch to analog full time–vividly: the police sirens, blocked streets, chanting, and all the run-and-gunning as one often does in high-action situations. Like I mentioned in my previous article, there is something about chaos that I gravitate towards. I enjoy the adrenaline rush, uncertainty, and the precarious nature of photographing in situations that are potentially hazardous. Whether it’s an underground metal concert in a pitch-black club filled with hundreds of people or a demonstration where thousands are calling for change. Witnessing the raw emotion, anger, frustration, and the release that follows is what excites me the most. Conflict in any shape or form is a worthy theme to capture and analyse.
Like many a photographer, I’ve accumulated a couple of drawers worth of cameras and lenses. In my case, reflecting the fact that I’ve owned a camera since 1963, when I was given a Kodak Brownie Fiesta for my 10th birthday, nearly all of these “excess” cameras are the kind that use film.
I’ve also sold a number of cameras over the years – a series of auto-focus Nikon film bodies when I finally went digital (F100, N80, N65, and then eventually bought a cherry F100 in Tokyo, and a low mileage N90s to use a camera bag full of sweet Nikkor glass); a lovely Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta; an even more desirable Contax G2 with its holy trinity of Zeiss lenses; to name a few.
But I’ve always said the camera I’ll never sell is my Rolleiflex 2.8F
Is a photograph any good if it needs an introduction? Shouldn´t art speak to you without accompanying words? Shouldn’t a great picture captivate your imagination and inspire thought and free association without the author telling you what to think and associate?
I have this idea in my head that a picture should wow the viewer. Like what Cartier-Bresson made. My own “work” if I may call my hobby work at all, falls way short of that grand idea. That is why I hesitate to show my pictures to anyone. Are they any good if I need to tell people why I made them in the first place? And, more importantly, do I have anything to say that would be remotely interesting to anyone?
Any psychotherapist or their client will probably agree that it is a challenge to unlearn habits reinforced over a couple of decades. I was lucky to be bought a completely manual 35mm viewfinder camera when I was probably 11 years old, in the 1980s – a Voigtlander Vito B (that I still have and have started to use again) which I learned to use way back then, along with basic black-and-white developing and printing.


It’s been three years since Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and This is Us star Justin Hartley ended their marriage and just over one yr since they finalized their divorce. But, as both celebs make plenty of purple carpet and TV appearances (and with brand new Selling Sunset episodes to watch), rumors about their former ‘ship and present love lives are swirling. The supply claimed, “Chrishell really wants to have children, however Jason isn’t on the same page in order that they mutually agreed to end their relationship. They’re nonetheless finest friends.” The first season six trailer revealed some new faces joining the cast, together with someone known as Nicole, and an property agent referred to as Bre. Discussing her departure from Selling Sunset, she defined “I determined to not execute my contract,” including, “I love the present, and it was great, but I’m excited to give attention to the Miami real estate market.”
“I treat individuals the greatest way I need to be treated, and I have lovely associates who love me, and I love them. And I’ve received this wonderful daughter, and I’ve got a fantastic family, and I am a really, very lucky, fortunate particular person.” Apparently, the two had been struggling, but not so much that people thought they would get divorced. “Justin had been having issues with the wedding for a while,” a supply informed Us Weekly on the time. Still, the insider said, “the divorce submitting was a giant shock to everyone around Justin and Chrishell by means of their associates.” It seems Jason was able to build a genuine friendship with Chrishell throughout her divorce from This is Us star Justin Hartley. Viewers watched how hard the divorce was for Chrishell after she realized of Justin’s filing via a text message.
September 20, 2022: jason oppenheim and chrishell stause nonetheless use the same hbo account
Chrishell needed to weigh all the chances earlier than deciding to date Jason. For one, she works for Jason, so a breakup would put a damper on their work dynamic. They also star on Selling Sunset together and a breakup can be a central storyline on the present within the event it happened. Plus, Chrishell has already been placing up with harsh criticism from viewers. It appears like Jason and Chrishell are attempting to make their relationship work to keep away from matchupreviews.com/zendate-review becoming a trending topic in the near future. Filming for Selling Sunset, which revoleves across the high-end actual property brokerage firm promoting expensive AF properties in LA, started shortly after.
February 16, 2023: chrishell stause admits it was tense to film with jason oppenheim after their breakup
The surprising place actually being the Oppenheim Group office, clearly. Obviously, viewers who already knew about Chrishell and Jason’s relationship would have been capable of read between the lines on why Chrishell hesitated earlier than giving Heather an answer. Her vague answer, avoiding the question around whether or not or not she’s courting anyone, was also a lifeless give away. Since the couple first went Instagram official on July 28th, they’ve posted much more photos collectively, including a shot of Stause mendacity on Oppenheim’s back while he was doing push-ups. It seems like we’ll have to attend till season 5 to see their relationship properly played out on camera. Fans are set to see their relationship unfold in season 5, but many are questioning if Jason and Chrishell are still collectively.
According to the “Field of Dreams” actor, they known as it quits for a time because of a difference of opinion when it got here to having kids. “I’m happy with my profession. I’m happy with my personal life. I’m healthy, I’m secure. I’m, I mean, all of those things. So, I’m very grateful.” The divorce filing was a total shock to Chrishell, who shared the drama through the third season of Selling Sunset (more on that in a sec). The realtor shared the news with Page Six, telling the publication that she needs to concentrate on her work in Miami, rather than in LA the place Selling Sunset is based. Maya also owns her personal agency, The Maya Vander Group, which relies in Florida. In the brand new trailer dropped by Netflix at present (4th May), we see Chrishell embark on her new relationship with G Flip and Jason move onto a new girlfriend Marie-Lou.
‘selling sundown’ stars chrishell stause and jason oppenheim’s full relationship timeline
Stause first announced the breakup in an Instagram publish, citing differing values round family as the explanation for the split. “Jason was and is my finest good friend, and other than our concepts for household ultimately not being aligned, the quantity of respect and love we now have for one another is not going to change anything going forward,” she writes. “Men have the luxury of time that women do not and that’s simply the finest way it goes,” she adds.
If there’s one individual on the planet I assume I’d be comfortable putting my relationship out there with, on digital camera, it is her. So she’s made it easier on me, and we get into it,” he said about sharing his private life on-camera for the first time. While Selling Sunset concluded in typical dramatic trend, with Christine Quinn and Mary Fitzgerald getting into an enormous battle in the course of the season 4 finale, the sequence truly ended with an official teaser for season 5. And it’s protected to say no one noticed the romance between Oppenheim Group co-owner Jason Oppenheim and agent Chrishell Stause coming. But by the finale, Jason and Chrishell have known as it quits (off-camera), and the aftermath is really affecting. “I thought this was it,” Chrishell tearfully tells agent Emma Hernan over white wine, adding, “I don’t know if we can work collectively anymore.” Jason tells brokers Mary and Amanza Smith that it’s “the hardest decision” he’s had to make.
Chrishell and justin get divorced.
Maya went on, “I want to concentrate on my household, and flying coast to coast is lots. The show is nice, and I love everyone, however wanting forward to rising my business in South Florida.” Her work on TheThings reflects her sociological interest within the actuality behind hit movies & TV shows, movie star life-style, and reality TV drama. When she’s not writing, she’s probably immersed in studying or keeping up with the most recent films on Mubi. Jason, the founding father of Oppenheim Group, disclosed that he and Chrishell hardly told anyone they had been dating. He intimated that the pair wished to allow the connection space to develop organically, away from the prying eyes of followers and media. “I assume when [a relationship is] public, it puts a lot of just added pressures and publicity and opinion,” he said.
In season 5, cast member Christine Quinn makes enjoyable of the publish. “When I first heard the news about Jason and Chrishell, I was a little confused by the caption. Lo impact is if you have been courting somebody prior, you took a break and then you dated somebody once more,” she explained in season 5, episode two of the true estate show. Jason and Chrishell shocked Selling Sunset fans once they posted a flirtatious photograph on Instagram in July 2021.

He also clarified that he dated Fitzgerald before they labored together. “I’m undoubtedly on the lookout for somebody that I’m associates with, and that I’m happy with, because I can have stress in my life from work,” he said. “So someone I’m relaxed with, happy with, and that is just humorous and smart.”

AFP: The United States should throw its “full support” behind French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s call to freeze Iran central bank assets and halt imports of Iranian oil, two key US senators urged Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, November 22, 2011 (AFP) — The United States should throw its “full support” behind French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s call to freeze Iran central bank assets and halt imports of Iranian oil, two key US senators urged Tuesday.
Republican Senator John McCain and Independent Senator Joe Lieberman called France’s push for new sanctions “the logical next step” in efforts to force the Islamic republic to halt what the West charges is a nuclear weapons program.
“We applaud French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s initiative to rally countries around the world to sanction the Central Bank of Iran and suspend oil purchases from Iran,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement.
“We hope President (Barack) Obama will throw the full support of the United States behind the Sarkozy initiative, working together with our French allies, along with other partners around the world,” they said.
The French presidency called Monday for “new unprecedented sanctions” on Iran, appealing to Britain, Canada, Germany, Japan and the United States as well as European Union leaders for support.
Britain announced it was severing links with Iranian banks because of what it called evidence that they are involved in the development of a nuclear weapons program.
Washington swiftly followed suit, detailing sanctions against goods, services and technologies for the vital petrochemical sector, and warning banks worldwide to weigh the “risks” of doing business with Iran.

Major update on Seth Rollins and Riddle’s WWE SummerSlam match
The biggest party of the summer will have to party without one of the hallmark matches.
During today’s episode of “WWE’s The Bump,” Kayla Braxton announced that Riddle is currently suffering from a brachial plexus injury. The injury occurred when Seth Rollins brutally attacked him Monday night on Raw, causing their WWE SummerSlam match to be postponed. The injury was described by Braxton as “a very bad stinger which resulted in some weakness”, and Riddle is “medically disqualified” until he is strong enough to return.
Rollins’ brutal attack sent “WWE Raw” off the airwaves last week, as Rollins slammed Riddle with his patented Stomp onto the arena floor and ringside steps. The show ended with Rollins laughing at an injured Riddle, with a comment stating “How will Riddle be ready for Saturday?”
The feud between Rollins and Riddle has taken place on TV and, supposedly, in real life, dating back to 2019 when Riddle’s former wife’s body humiliated several female WWE Superstars on social media, including Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch. Riddle confirmed the contempt between the two in 2021, stating that he doesn’t think they like each other and that they are just “two different people”.
It’s unclear at this time if Riddle’s injury is legitimate or part of a storyline, but it’s hard to imagine a star as big as Rollins not being involved in SummerSlam this Saturday. This weekend’s event is still set to feature eight matches, with Roman Reigns taking on Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE and Universal Championships, which Reigns unified by defeating Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. The card will also see the two “Raw Women’s Champions” and “SmackDown” will defend their belts and include Logan Paul’s first match since signing with WWE.

Even as the Congress party is opposing Centre's move to abrogate Article 370, its MPs as back as in 1964 demanded to scrap the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. A paper cutting from September 11, 1964 headlined 'Special status of Kashmir must end, insists MPs' states that several Congress lawmakers supported Prakash Vir Shahtri's private member bill to end special status of Jammu and Kashmir. The report said that a Congress lawmaker K Hanumanthiya appealed to the then Home Minister to accept the bill 'in spirit of democracy'.
There has been divide within the Congress on their stand related to abrogation of Article 370. While Congress veteran adn Maharaja Hari Singh's son Karan Singh, has said that there are several positive points and that abrogation of Article 35 A will address the gender discrimination in the state, Ghulam Nabi Azad had accused the Modi govt of running camps for communication blackout and confining the Kashmiris in their houses.
The Narendra Modi government on August 5 revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Both the upper house and the lower house of the Parliament approved the resolution abrogating Article 370 for J&K and a bill to bifurcate the state into two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, with Home Minister Amit Shah saying the controversial provisions were responsible for poverty and lack of development in the state. Ministry of External Affairs also briefed the envoys of the P5 nations -- the US, the UK, China, France and Russia -- about Indian government's decision to scrap Article 370 and bifurcate the state into two union territories.


Speaking to Metro, Luke Evans has been talking about the upcoming reboot of THE CROW and how he holds no fear of the apparent 'curse' that has haunted THE CROW series ever since Brandon Lee was tragically killed on the set of the first film.
Evans said, "It is incredibly sad that Brandon died making the movie. He was a very talented actor. It is a very beautiful story, THE CROW. It is a very tragic story with huge emotional themes. We plan to tell the story differently and with a lot of integrity to the original comic book."
The actor also went on to hammer home his 'no fear' attitude by proclaiming that, during a stint living in New Zealand, he would "take the car and go down to the South Island for five or six days and climb glaciers and jump out of planes and jump off bridges and go white water rafting - a bit of thrill-seeking." That particular time in New Zealand just happened to be during the filming of THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG - in cinemas imminently.
F. Javier Gutierrez is directing this latest version of THE CROW, with very little details known on the cast. THE WALKING DEAD's Norman Reedus is apparently in talks to join the reboot in an unspecified role, whilst the story will follow the tragic, tormented tale of Eric Draven. After he and his 'one true' are brutally murdered, Draven channels the spirit of The Crow to come back from the dead and exact some good old-fashioned revenge.
No release date has been announced for Gutierrez's THE CROW at this time.

Hardcover Edition: May 1001
Trade Paperback Edition: July 2002
Film noir was the dark side of the movie's happily-ever-after mythology. Sinister and sexy, it forged a new icon: the tough, independent, take-no-guff dame. Determined, desirable, dangerous when cornered, she could handle trouble—or deal out some of her own.
If you thought these women were something special on-screen, wait till you meet the genuine articles. In Dark City Dames, acclaimed film historian Eddie Muller profiles six women who made a lasting impression in this cinematic terrain—from veteran "bad girls" Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor, and Jane Greer to unexpected genre fixtures Evelyn Keyes, Coleen Gray, and Ann Savage. The book surveys the lives of these formidable women during the height of their careers circa 1950, as they balanced love and career, struggled against typecasting, and sought fulfillment in a ruthless business. Their personal stories—teeming with larger-than-life characters like Howard Hughes, L.B. Mayer, Robert Mitchum, Otto Preminger, and John Huston‚ offer an illuminating counterpoint to their movies, such as Out of the Past, Detour, The Lady in the Lake, and The Killing. Then Dark City Dames revisits each one of these women today, fifty years on, to witness their hard-won—and triumphant—survival. On every page their own voices ring through, reflecting on their lives with as much passion, pain, intelligence, energy, and humor as any movie script.
SAYS EDDIE "Sometimes selling a book is blissfully simple. I sent a two paragraph fax to Overlook and said 'Somebodys going to do a film noir poster book and it might as well be me.' It took about two years to assemble and every minute was fun. If you dont love this stuff, youre not an Americanor French, Italian, German, British, Spanish, Japanese, Swedish . . .

Another PhD is well on it's way to being completed! WooHooo!
This was a Block of The Month by Hancock fabrics in 2006, to honor Lewis and Clark. However, I didn't like the colors that were used, so I changed out the fabrics. The quilting of this was much harder then in looks, even if I only did a meander. We had problems with the stitching. And it took us forever to finally figure out what the problem was. We changed the thread, added a mesh holder for the thread, changed the needle, took an over night break, changed the bobbin case, and then changed the bobbin. And that was the problem. The prewound bobbin, even with using 2 different ones, ended up being the problem. A bad batch of prewound bobbins. A different prewound bobbin worked.
See the big mess it kept leaving on the back. We had to rip out so much quilting. But we got it done!
Started quilting this on Saturday and finished it on Sunday. Thank you Jeanine for all your help in getting this quilt quilted!

Turkish authorities detained 14 scholars on Friday, accusing them of spreading “terrorism propaganda” and of insulting the state after they signed a petition denouncing the military’s campaign against Kurdish militants in Southeast Turkey.
Twelve scholars from Kocaeli University in northwestern Turkey were detained in early-morning raids on their homes, the semiofficial news agency Anadolu reported. Arrest warrants were issued for nine others from the university, and by midafternoon, two of them had been detained.
All 21 scholars were among the more than 1,000 academics from 90 Turkish universities who signed the public statement, “We Won’t Be a Party to This Crime,” that urged the government in Ankara, Turkey's capital, to end the “deliberate massacre” of Kurds caught in clashes between security forces and militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
The petition angered President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who denounced the group—and foreign scholars who signed the document including the linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky—in a televised speech on Tuesday. Erdogan accused the signatories of “treason” and of forming a “fifth column” of foreign powers trying to undermine Turkey’s national security.
“Unfortunately, these so-called academics claim that the state is carrying out a massacre,” Erdogan said in his speech, which came shortly after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed 10 German tourists in the historic heart of Istanbul. “Hey, you so-called intellectuals: You are dark people. You are not intellectuals.”
Erdogan called on Chomsky and other scholars to visit southeastern Turkey to get a “true picture” of the events taking place there.
“They should see with their eyes whether the problem is a violation by the state or the hijacking of our citizens’ rights and freedoms by the terrorist organization,” he said, referring to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party.
On Thursday, the government formally began an investigation of the scholars. If convicted, the academics could face one to five years in jail.
The detentions have deepened concerns over freedom of expression in Turkey under Erdogan’s leadership, and analysts say that the latest crackdown on academics is intended to muzzle debate and to curb academic freedoms.
“The campaign against academics this week certainly targets a new group and has very serious consequences for academic freedom in Turkey, as well as free speech,” said Emma Sinclair-Webb, a senior Turkey researcher at Human Rights Watch. “There are concerns for the physical safety of some academics in provincial universities after being targeted in such a way.”
The petition has even drawn criticism from a notorious organized-crime boss, Sedat Peker, who is known for his nationalist viewpoints. “We will spill your blood, and we will take shower with your blood,” he said in a statement on his website.
Several scholars, reached by telephone on Friday, declined to comment on the detentions for fear of reprisal.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, a political scientist and former university professor, also lashed out at the scholars who signed the petition.
“Being an intellectual and defending democracy is first of all possible by defending democratic methods,” Mr. Davutoglu said. “Why are you aligning behind this terrorist organization?”
The United States ambassador to Turkey, John R. Bass, criticized the arrests, saying they would have a “chilling effect on legitimate political discourse” about the violence in southeastern Turkey.
“In democratic societies, it is imperative that citizens have the opportunity to express their views, even controversial or unpopular ones,” Bass said in a statement on Twitter. “Expressions of concern about violence do not equal support for terrorism. Criticism of government does not equal treason.”
Violence has surged in Turkey’s volatile southeast since the renewal of a decades-old conflict between Kurdish militants and the Turkish state, a conflict that has claimed more than 40,000 lives.
The Turkish military started a major counterinsurgency campaign last month, imposing round-the-clock curfews in Kurdish areas to drive militants out of their strongholds. Rights groups say that nearly 200 civilians have been killed in the violence.

frame: 1096 × 1293 × 22 mm
- Purchased 1981
Fulton’s work is about the experience of walking through natural landscape. Since the early 1970s it has taken the form of framed photographs and integrated descriptive text. More recently Fulton has used printed text alone, occasionally accompanied by diagrams, exploring the graphic possibilities of varying typesets and colours. Whatever the form, the visible work aims to express and record his specific responses to the places he travels through. When he sets out he has no preconceived idea about the images he will produce but allows chance encounters and discoveries to direct his selection of views.
France on the Horizon is the result of a circular fifty mile one day walk made in the area of Dover, Kent, south east England. Fulton set out from his house at Saltwood near Hythe in the early hours of the morning, reached Dover between five and six a.m. and returned home late at night. The photograph was taken from a spot above the famous White Cliffs to the east of the Dover docks. From Fulton’s vantage point the cliffs were not visible. A swathe of rolling grassland in the foreground frames the waters of the Channel extending out towards the European Continent on the horizon. In broad daylight France is sometimes clearly visible as a white strip across the Strait of Dover. In this photograph, because of the early morning light conditions, it appears as a dark island on the horizon. Fulton chose this image as representative of his feelings about the particular walk and believes that after taking this photograph he put his camera away for the rest of the day (Approaches to Landscape, [p.4]). Looking out over the sea he was reminded that England was once joined to the landmass of Europe and that this is the narrowest stretch of water between England and France. As a strategic position during wartime, it would have particular memories for those alive in the first half of the twentieth century (during the two World Wars). Fulton thought about the significance of the White Cliffs for Britons travelling abroad, immortalised in the famous wartime song by Vera Lynn (born 1917) The White Cliffs of Dover. He was also reminded that, at that time, he was looking at one of the busiest commercial shipping lanes in the world, although only a solitary small tanker is visible in the top left corner of the photograph.
France on the Horizon was produced in an edition of three. It is captioned: ‘FRANCE ON THE HORIZON – 21 MILES ACROSS THE CHANNEL / A ONE DAY 50 MILE WALK BY WAY OF THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER / ENGLAND SUMMER 1975’.

This entry is based on a conversation with the artist (4 November 1981). It has been approved by him.
This work resulted from a day-long fifty mile circular walk via Dover, which the artist undertook in June 1975. At that time he was living at Saltwood, near Hythe in Kent and setting out from his house in the early hours of the morning, he arrived at Dover at around five or six a.m., returning home late that night.
Fulton took this photograph, which shows a view over the English Channel, from a position above the Dover cliffs, where there is an indentation in the Downs, just to the east of the docks. He has pointed out that, from the photograph, it is difficult to tell that when taking it, he was standing above the White Cliffs and that the sea was far below him. The photograph records the early morning light and the coast of France, which in broad daylight is sometimes clearly visible across the Strait of Dover, during the summer months, here resembles a dark island on the horizon. (Fulton has recalled that the light changed shortly after he had photographed the view).
Before setting out the artist had not had a clear idea as to what direction he would take or what he might see on the walk but having photographed this view, he realized that it was entirely appropriate to his feelings about that particular day. He told the compiler that he thinks it probable that afterwards he put his camera away for the rest of the walk.
Fulton is careful to balance the images and texts in his work and because ‘France on the Horizon’ records a part of England which holds so many historic associations, he felt that in this instance the photograph only needed a straightforward factual caption, ‘france on the horizon - 21 miles across the channel/a one day 50 mile walk by way of the white cliffs of dover/england summer 1975’.
As he looked out over the Channel, he was reminded that this is the narrowest stretch of water between England and France and that Britain was once joined to the Continent of Europe. He remembers thinking about the Second World War, (in particular, the evacuation from Dunkirk and Vera Lynn's famous wartime song ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’) and about the special significance that the White Cliffs hold for travelling Britons. He was also reminded that he was looking at one of the busiest commercial shipping lanes in the world, although at the time the only ship he could see was a small tanker, (just visible in the top left of the photograph).
'France on the Horizon’ was made in an edition of three and the photographs were printed for Hamish Fulton by Adrian Ensor.

Wang, Jinhuo (2008) Predictive modelling and experimental measurement of composite forming behaviour. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
Optimised design of textile composite structures based on computer simulation techniques requires an understanding of the deformation behaviour during forming of 3-dimensional double-curvature components. Purely predictive material models are highly desirable to facilitate an optimised design scheme and to significantly reduce time and cost at the design stage, such as experimental characterisation. In-plane shear and out-of-plane bending are usually thought to be the key forming mechanisms. Therefore, this thesis is concerned with studies of the shear and bending behaviour by experimental characterisation and theoretical modelling.
Micromechanical interaction between fibre and matrix offers fundamental understanding of deformation mechanisms at the micro-scale level, leading to development of composite viscosity models, as input to shear and bending models. The composite viscosity models were developed based on rheological behaviour during movement of fibres, and validation was performed using experimental results collected from the literature. A novel characterisation method for measuring the bending behaviour, by means of a large-displacement buckling test, was attempted due to some significant advantages over other methods. Development of a bending model was also undertaken for unidirectional composites but experimental validation suggests further study may be required for woven composites. The shear behaviour was characterised using a picture frame test for viscous polymer composites. To obtain reliable experimental data, some efforts of improving the characterisation method were made. The experimental results were then used to validate a shear model, suggesting that further improvement is required, in terms of weave patterns, rate and temperature dependence.

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance Update
United for a Barrier-Free Society for All People with Disabilities
New Federal Liberal Party Platform Offers None of the Commitments on Disability Accessibility that the AODA Alliance Requested – The New Democratic Party Added One Requested Commitment in Its Response to the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians
September 2, 2021
Here’s a rapid response to announcements we learned of yesterday by the federal Liberal and New Democratic Parties regarding accessibility for people with disabilities.
The three major parties mention needs of people with disabilities several times in their platforms. This is a step forward from some past elections. However, they fall well short of what people with disabilities need. No party leader has yet answered the AODA Alliance’s August 3, 2021 letter, seeking commitments on disability accessibility.
We encourage you to learn more about the federal parties’ disability commitments. Urge them to make the 12 accessibility pledges that the AODA Alliance sought in its August 3, 2021 letter to the party leaders. Below we set out a summary of the commitments we seek.
We remind you that the AODA Alliance is non-partisan. We do not support or oppose any party or candidate. We aim to get the strongest commitments we can get from all parties on achieving accessibility for people with disabilities in Canada.
We comment here only on party commitments addressing the issue of making Canada accessible for people with disabilities. This election has other important disability issues as well. We encourage a careful review of the party platforms on all issues important to people with disabilities.
1. The Liberal party of Canada
Yesterday, the Liberal Party of Canada released its full election platform. It includes a “Disability Statement.” Below we set out excerpts from the platform that make commitments on accessibility for people with disabilities.
On the accessibility issue, in substance this new platform includes little or nothing new that is positive. The Liberals make none of the 12 commitments that we requested in the AODA Alliance’s August 3, 2021 letter to the federal party leaders. It mainly restates promises it made two years ago, in the 2019 election, promises it failed to keep. It also makes one new commitment that is a source of serious concern.
All federal parties had ample time to consider our requests. We also made 11 of the 12 requests in the 2019 election.
In so far as the issue of achieving accessibility for people with disabilities is concerned, the Liberal platform mainly repeats what it promised two years ago, namely promising a disability lens on all Government decisions and pledging the timely and ambitious implementation of the Accessible Canada Act. The Government’s record over the past two years on both commitments is unimpressive. As AODA Alliance Chair David Lepofsky wrote in his August 31, 2021 guest column in the Toronto Star’s Metroland newspapers:
No national accessibility standards have been enacted to require specific actions to remove and prevent disability barriers. The federal government has not even hired the national accessibility commissioner or the chief accessibility officer, pivotal to lead the ACA’s implementation.
There was no disability lens when the federal government released the ArriveCan app for people entering Canada, replete with accessibility barriers for blind users. The federal government pours billions into infrastructure projects without requiring their disability accessibility.
That column was written before the Liberal Party released its new September 1, 2021 platform document. We regret that nothing in that new platform document reduces the guest column’s concerns.
Making this worse, we are very concerned about the Liberal Party’s commitment to the “the harmonization of accessibility standards across Canada.” “Harmonization” initially sounds great. Yet there is a real danger that this could lead accessibility standards across Canada being reduced to the lowest common denominator. That would hurt people with disabilities. The Liberal Party needs to immediately rescind this platform pledge.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Yesterday, the New Democratic Party of Canada sent the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians (AEBC) a response to its request for election commitments. We set it out below as well.
The New Democratic Party’s response to the Questions from the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians makes one of the 12 commitments that the AODA Alliance requested of all the major political parties. It commits the NDP to:
… ensuring that all government spending, whether it is on infrastructure, transfer payments, research grants, or contracts, neither creates nor perpetuates barriers for people living with disabilities.
So far, the NDP commitments on accessibility are stronger than those from the other parties. However, the NDP commitments fall well short of what that party committed to us on the same issues two years ago in the NDP’s September 16, 2019 letter to the AODA Alliance during the 2019 federal election campaign. We have no idea why the NDP hasn’t gone as far in this election as it did in the last one.
It is not too late for all parties to do better before voting day.
What We Requested of the Federal Parties
Here is a summary of the 12 commitments that the AODA Alliance asked each party to make in its August 3, 2021 letter to the leaders of the six major federal parties:
- Enforceable accessibility standard regulations should be enacted within four years of the enactment of the Accessible Canada Act.
- The ACA should be effectively enforced.
- Federal public money should never be used to create or perpetuate barriers.
- The ACA should never reduce the rights of people with disabilities.
- Section 172(3) of the ACA should be amended to remove its unfair and discriminatory ban on the Canadian Transportation Agency ever awarding monetary compensation to passengers with disabilities who are the victims of an undue barrier in federally-regulated transportation (like air travel), where a CTA regulation wrongly set the accessibility requirements too low.
- The ACA’s implementation and enforcement should be consolidated in one federal agency, not splintered among several of them.
- No federal laws should ever create or permit disability barriers.
- Federal elections should be made accessible to voters with disabilities.
- Power to exempt organizations from some ACA requirements should be eliminated or reduced.
- Federally controlled courts and tribunals should be made disability-accessible.
- Proposed Opposition amendments to the ACA that were defeated in the House of Commons in 2018 and that would strengthen the ACA should be passed.
- Ensure that the National Building Code meets the accessibility requirements in the Charter of Rights, the Canada Human Rights Act and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and commit that any efforts to harmonize federal and provincial building codes will never reduce or dilute accessibility protections for people with disabilities.

Excerpts from the Liberal Party of Canada September 1, 2021 Platform
- a re-elected Liberal government will… Undertake a comprehensive review of access to the Disability Tax Credit, CPP-Disability and other federal benefits and programs to ensure they are available to people experiencing mental health challenges. (page 5)
- a re-elected government will… Double the Home Accessibility Tax Credit, to $20,000, putting up to $1,500 back in the of Canadians who need it. (page 17, helping seniors and people with disabilities live at home)
- a re-elected Liberal government will…
- Develop and implement an employment strategy for Canadians with disabilities. This strategy will be focused on supports for workers and employers and creating inclusive and welcoming workplaces. It will also include an investment in the Ready, Willing and Able inclusive hiring program to support individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- Create a new stream of the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy Program (YESS) to support 5000 opportunities a year for young people. This would help young Canadians with disabilities gain the skills, experience, and abilities they need to make a successful transition into the labour market and build successful careers (page 39)
- (from the Liberal Party Platform’s “Disability Statement”)
Moving forward, there is much more work to be done. A re-elected Liberal government will build on our previous investments through the implementation of the first-ever Disability Inclusion Action Plan, in consultation with the disability community.
The objectives of the Disability Inclusion Action Plan are to:
Improve the social and economic inclusion of Canadians with disabilities.
Reduce poverty among Canadians with disabilities.
Contribute to the realization of a barrier-free Canada.
Improve access to federal programs and services for persons with disabilities and ensure that disability inclusion is considered in all government programs, policies, and services.
Foster a culture of inclusion and a shift away from attitudes of disablism and discrimination.
As part of our Disability Inclusion Action Plan, a re-elected Liberal government will re-introduce and implement the Canada Disability Benefit Act, which will create a direct monthly payment for low-income Canadians with disabilities ages 18-64. This will reduce poverty amongst persons with disabilities in the same way the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Canada Child Benefit have reduced poverty among seniors and families with children.
A Liberal Government will also develop and implement an employment strategy focused on supports for workers and employers, creating inclusive and welcoming workplaces, and building business disability confidence.
This strategy will include an investment in the Opportunities Fund and the Ready Willing and Able inclusive hiring program to support employment for persons with disabilities.
We will also commit to making permanent funding to support services that ensure equitable access to reading and other published works for Canadians with print disabilities so that more Canadians are able to fully participate in these activities.
We will proceed with the timely and ambitious implementation of the Accessible Canada Act and the harmonization of accessibility standards across Canada. We will work across federal departments and agencies to uniformly adopt the definition of “disability” in the Accessible Canada Act. We will adopt a consistent approach to disability inclusion across the federal government. We will put a disability lens on decision making. This will specifically include our child care and infrastructure commitments. We will assume a more prominent role within the international disability inclusion community.
Only a re-elected Liberal government will build on the foundational work to date to support persons with disabilities in the post-pandemic recovery, by continuing to build back better, for everyone.
Response of the New Democratic Party of Canada to the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians
- It is well recognized that there are barriers in Canadian society that people with disabilities are facing on a daily basis. People who are blind, deafblind or partially sighted face barriers such as transportation accessibility, access to the built environment and access to print materials. What is your party prepared to do to reduce and eliminate these barriers?
We can do much more to make Canada an inclusive and barrier-free place. As a start, New Democrats will uphold the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and strengthen the Accessibility Act to cover all federal agencies equally with the power to make accessibility standards in a timely manner. We will also ensure that these accessibility standards are vigorously enforced.
We will make sure that the federal government is a leader in removing barriers, applying a disability lens to government decisions, policies, and regulations, and ensuring that all government spending, whether it is on infrastructure, transfer payments, research grants, or contracts, neither creates nor perpetuates barriers for people living with disabilities.
- Since many Canadians were eligible for the CERB (up to $38,000), and disabled Canadians receiving the Disability Tax Credit were given a paltry one-time payment of $600, what is your party prepared to do to reduce the chronic level of poverty among blind, deafblind, partially sighted and otherwise disabled Canadians? If elected, when can we expect this to happen?
Far too many Canadians living with disabilities are living in poverty. The Liberals have been promising a new Canada Disability Benefit since 2020, but with no plan to implement the benefit before 2024. Then they chose to cynically introduce Bill C-35, a bill that provides no details on benefit amount or eligibility and no timeline, right before the legislature adjourned for the summer, knowing full well the bill would never be debated.
An NDP government will not play politics with the livelihood of people living with disabilities. An NDP government will move quickly to lift all persons living with a disability above the poverty line as part of our plan to build towards a basic guaranteed livable income for all Canadians. We will not make people with disabilities wait three years to receive an unknown amount of money but will take action immediately.
- Many medical devices are currently not usable by blind, deafblind and partially sighted Canadians. Will your party require Health Canada to approve only devices that are usable by blind, deafblind and partially sighted Canadians? Will you commit to working with the provinces and territories to ensure all prescription and other healthcare information is made accessible?
New Democrats want to build a society in which all of our citizens are able to participate fully and equally. We will uphold the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and apply a disability lens to all of the decisions, policies, and programs of the federal government, including regulatory decisions. We will also apply this same lens to negotiations and management of shared programs with the provinces and territories to ensure that we are doing everything we can to remove barriers and promote full inclusion of people living with disabilities.
- As you know, job creation and “building back better” are major preoccupations for Canadians and, as you are aware, our community suffers from an approximate unemployment rate of 75%, what is your party prepared to do to increase the level of employment for those of us who are blind, deafblind or partially sighted?
The many barriers to employment that still exist are one reason why so many Canadians with disabilities are living in poverty. An NDP government will work to dismantle barriers and expand employment opportunities for people living with disabilities. We will uphold the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and strengthen the Accessibility Act to ensure that accessibility is real, meaningful, and enforced. Finally, we will invest in training programs that will help workers with disabilities gain the skills they need to find employment.
- The National Housing Strategy requires that a mere 20% of new housing starts be accessible. As this is woefully inadequate, given the fact that our population is aging, by how much is your party committed to increasing this target?
Far too many Canadians don’t have access to affordable, accessible housing. But under the Liberal government, funding for affordable housing for low income Canadians has been declining and very few new homes have actually been built. An NDP government will get to work immediately to construct, repair, and preserve 1.7 million homes over the next decade. This will include investments in new, affordable, accessible housing for people living with disabilities and seniors in communities across the country. It will also include repairs to existing homes to make them more accessible and energy-efficient. We will also support innovative solutions for people living with disabilities and seniors such as co-housing.

The shekel is strengthening sharply this evening against the dollar and against the euro after the Bank of Israel unexpectedly raised the interest rate from its historic low of 0.1% to 0.25%. The interest rate has been unchanged since March 2015, when it was last cut, and this is the first rate hike since June 2011. In response in after-hours inter-bank trading, the shekel-dollar exchange rate is down 0.55% against the dollar at NIS 3.709/$ and down 0.59% against the euro at NIS 4.213/€.
Earlier this afternoon, before the rate hike was announced, the Bank of Israel set the shekel-dollar representative rate down 0.214% at NIS 3.729/$ from Friday's rate and set the shekel-euro rate down up 0.282% at 4.238/€.
Acting Governor of the Bank of Israel Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg, who was chairing the Monetary Committee meeting as Karnit Flug has ended her term of office as Governor, while her successor Amir Yaron will not assume the job until next month said after announcing the decision, "We thought that the conditions were ripe for a rate hike. It's a small rise from 0.1% to 0.25% but a significant one because it comes after almost four years in which the rate was unchanged. Inflation has already returned to the Bank of Israel's target range but remains low. We thought that we should be certain that inflation is strong within the range. We think that growth in the economy is still at a good level."
Baudot-Trajtenberg stressed that the Monetary Committee discussed whether it was appropriate to make such an important decision while the Bank of Israel was 'between Governors' but it was decided that only the relevant economic data should be taken into account in making the decision.
Most analysts had expected the Bank of Israel to leave the interest rate unchanged but one analyst who called the decision correctly was Leader Capital Markets macroeconomist Yonatan Katz. He said, "As we forecast, the bank of Israel raised the interest rate today by 0.25% with the announcement stressing that inflation had stabilized somewhat above the bottom of the range, and there were expectations of salary raises and an expansive fiscal policy that will support consolidation of inflation within the target range. Growth in the economy is moving towards potential growth and there is full employment. The shekel has depreciated by 3.6% since the previous rate decision and the housing market is stable."
Katz added, "The path of future rate hikes will be gradual and cautious. We expect a rate hike in the second quarter of 2019 and then no change until the end of the year, while the US Federal Reserve will find it difficult to continue raising the interest rate in the second half of 2019."
