August 2, 2022 - 10:30am - 11:30am
HOME FASHION DAY
August 6, 2022 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm
The HOME Refugee Steering Committee at the Lynden Sculpture Garden invites you to observe WORLD REFUGEE DAY in a series of outdoor events and programs that celebrate Milwaukee's refugee communities through art, food, fashion, and performance.
HOME Fashion Day: THIS IS US uses fashion to showcase the rich and varied cultures of refugees within the local community. THIS IS US will consist of five different segments: traditional cultural wear, contemporary wear, everyday wear, outfits styled and designed by refugees, and a surprise segment at the end.
The fashion show will be followed by two participatory activities. For the first time this year, we will host a Try + Exchange. For the Try, we invite you to try on some of the traditional clothes that we will have available for that purpose. For the Exchange, you are invited to bring a cultural or traditional item or piece of clothing to exchange with someone else. By the end of the event, we hope that you will have added to your wardrobe and had a meaningful exchange with someone from another culture.
HOME Fashion Day is once again organized by Biak Tha Hlawn, Chin youth leader, HOME Refugee Steering Committee member, and now an undergraduate at Stanford University and Lynden's HOME intern. According to Hlawn, "THIS IS US aims to showcase, through fashion, what makes us who we are as refugees." As emcee, Hlawn will present and share the cultural meanings behind each garment worn.
Members of the public are encouraged to wear at least one ornament or piece of clothing highlighting their own culture or traditions--specifically ones that make you feel you! Don't forget to bring an item or two to partake in the Exchange part of the show.
Beginning at 12:30 pm, Burmese food will be available for donation. Proceeds benefit the grassroots efforts for the Myanmar democracy movement (so don't forget to bring cash!).
HOME is the theme of our work with refugee community leaders, community members, Call & Response artists, and allies. The HOME Refugee Steering Committee is building a space of leading, coming together, and celebrating refugees.

Full Moon Sound Bath + Labyrinth Walk
August 12, 2022 - 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Fee: $25/$20 members
Registration: Space is limited; advance registration required. Register by phone at 414-446-8794.
Bloom: The Flower
Join artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp and collaborator Sevan Arabajian for an evening of full moon expansion. Under the full moon we are invited to reflect on what has come to fruition in the most recent lunar cycle. Here we'll use the full moon energy to expand into our potential and pleasure, and to pause to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Take some time out of your week to relax into a healing sound bath and celebrate all that you've accomplished through deep rest and receiving. Then, like confetti, take a flower walk in the labyrinth and color the paths with your offerings of gratitude.
Sound baths are an ancient form of healing and deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds playing in a space where you can hear and feel their vibrations. Your sound healer for the evening will be Milwaukee's own Sevan Arabajian, initiated by Akhilanka of the Temple of Singing Bowls in Mysore, India, when he was traveling in the U.S.
The sound bath lasts approximately 45-60 minutes. We recommend arriving 15 minutes ahead of time to give yourself time to set up and prepare. Please bring something to rest on and to cover yourself with (if you think you'll want that) for the duration, and dress appropriately for the weather. The sound bath takes place on a hill so please consider comfortable footwear as well. A little insect repellent may be in order, too. Locally and ethically sourced flower petals will be available for the labyrinth walk and you are invited to bring your own flowers that are meaningful to you.

Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance Group: POWER: a body of testimony
FREE but registration required. Register by phone at 414-446-8794.
Parking: We will be running shuttle buses starting at 12:30 pm from the Brown Deer Road Park & Ride. We advise you to leave enough time to arrive for the performance, which begins at 2 pm. Consider coming early for a picnic.
Reggie Wilson and his company, Fist and Heel Performance Group, are returning to Lynden this summer for the third episode in a relationship that spans many years. Working from a model we developed with the choreographer, his company, and the Milwaukee community in 2015, when we reimagined MOSES(es), and refined in 2018, when we remade CITIZEN, Wilson will complete the trilogy by reimagining POWER, his latest work, for outdoor performance at Lynden. With POWER: a body of testimony, Wilson extends his investigation into the role of the body in Black spirituality, and particularly the ways in which spirituality and religiosity can be expressed with the body and in relationship with other bodies. Starting with Mother Rebecca Cox Jackson, a free Black woman who became a Shaker eldress and formed her own community in nineteenth-century Philadelphia, and drawing on decades of research into Black shout traditions, African formalism, and post-modern dance, Wilson imagines "what Black Shaker worship could look like."
POWER: a body of testimony was made during a three-week residency process with an intergenerational cast of local dancers and community members. Wilson and Fist and Heel performers Hadar Ahuvia, Rhetta Aleong, Paul Hamilton, Lawrence A. W. Harding, Michel Kouakou, Clement Mensah, Gabriela Silva, Annie Wang, and Michelle Yard are joined by a group of mature line dancers—some of them veterans of previous Lynden productions—children who participate in our annual collaborative day camp with Walker's Point Center for the Arts, and several other community members and Call & Response artists.
The POWER residency and performance are supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
This is a Call & Response event.

Artistic Personnel
Fist & Heel Performance Group is a Brooklyn-based dance company that investigates the intersections of cultural anthropology and movement practices and believes in the potential of the body as a valid means for knowing. Our performance work is a continued manifestation of the rhythm languages of the body provoked by the spiritual and the mundane traditions of Africa and its Diaspora, including the Blues, Slave and Gospel idioms. The group has received support from major foundations and corporations and has performed at notable venues in the United States and abroad.
Reggie Wilson (Executive and Artistic Director, Choreographer, Performer) founded Fist & Heel Performance Group in 1989.

Fee: $10/$5 members. Space is limited; advance registration required. Click here to register. Please note: online registration closes for each session the Friday before. You can register by phone at 414-446-8794 or in person day-of.
Join birder Chuck Stebelton the second Sunday of each month (except October, when the walk is on the third Sunday) for a small-group, socially distanced bird walk on the grounds. Keeping to the perimeter of the garden, we'll watch for seasonal migrants and resident bird species and seek out the best bird habitats to identify as many species as we can.

HOME Book Discussion Group: Homeira Qaderi's Dancing in the Mosque
4 sessions, 7-8:30 pm:
Click here to download the reading guide.
Registration: This discussion takes place via Zoom; advance registration required. Click here to register.
The Lynden/HOME Refugee Steering Committee book discussion group, moderated by Lynden's Kim Khaira, is for those interested in firsthand accounts of displacement. We consider works of non-fiction and fiction, including autobiographical and semi-autobiographical works, by writers who have faced or are facing forced displacement as refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants. Where stories of persecution, historical trauma, and loss of livelihood are effortlessly conveyed by storytellers, journalists, and humanitarians who search out or stumble upon the lives of refugees, we seek out the words of those to whom these stories belong: the narrators who are the closest to their own stories, and the stories of their people, friends, family and, of course, refugees. In May, we will be embarking on a new book, Homeira Qaderi's Dancing in the Mosque, translated by Zaman Stanizai. Newcomers welcome!
Dancing in the Mosque is an inspiring memoir about one mother's unimaginable choice in the face of oppression and abuse in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Devastating in its power, Dancing in the Mosque is a mother's searing letter to a son she was forced to leave behind. In telling her story—and that of Afghan women—Homeira challenges you to reconsider the meaning of motherhood, sacrifice, and survival. Her story asks you to consider the lengths you would go to protect yourself, your family, and your dignity.
Dr. Homeira Qaderi is a women's rights activist originally from Afghanistan. She has published six books in Afghanistan and Iran, some of which have received prestigious awards. Dancing in the Mosque is her first book in English.
We encourage you to read each section in advance (see information below on acquiring the current book). Then join us for a virtual discussion moderated by Lynden's Kim Khaira. The group meets monthly, and we seek the input of group members on titles to consider in the future.
As part of our HOME work at Lynden, we are making the book available without charge to book discussion group participants. If you would like us to purchase a copy of the book for you, please indicate this when completing the registration form. We will contact you when the book is available and you will be able to pick it up at the Lynden Sculpture Garden, 2145 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, WI 53217.
If you prefer to support your local public library by borrowing the book, you can find Milwaukee County libraries here or other local libraries here. If you would like to purchase the book yourself, Boswell Books will be offering it at a 10% discount to book group participants. The book can be purchased at the store (you will find it among the book club selections) or on the Boswell website with the 10% book club discount already applied. We will post that link as soon as we have it. Please check Boswell's website to check the availability of the book, and to confirm hours and delivery options.

Labyrinth Society of Lynden Sculpture Garden: Garden Hours with Jenna Knapp
Artist-In-residence Jenna Knapp views the labyrinth as a physical representation of the kinds of spaces that she also holds in her coaching practice. The center becomes a place for not only individual reflection but an opportunity for connection and conversation with the community. During Garden Hours you can find Knapp at the center of the labyrinth (or up on the hill depending on the intensity of the sun) where she lends a listening ear to those who would like to be heard. Walk the labyrinth and set down some of your burdens, share your secrets with someone, or verbalize the dreams you haven't yet brought yourself to say out loud. Insight available upon request. Or just enjoy the charged energy of a shared space, at the center of a winding path.

Harry & Peg Bradley's Backyard Barbecue
The tenth annual fundraiser to benefit Lynden's education programs
The funds we raise through the barbecue are used to underwrite the cost of tours, field trips, and transportation for schools with limited financial resources; to provide scholarships for young people attending our art studio classes and summer camps; and to support professional development for K-12 teachers, particularly through our Innovative Educators Institute. The majority of K-12 students we serve attend MPS and receive our programs without charge. In 2021, and especially once schools reopened in the fall, we were able to serve over 3,400 children, most of them through hands-on, multi-service programs. This is about 50% more than we were able to serve in 2020, and we are watching those numbers climb again in 2022.

Long-term and repeated exposure to certain chemicals and irritants on the job can lead to a number of occupational related lung diseases. Certain occupations bring with them unusually higher risks. Some of these occupations include coal miners, individuals who work in car repair, fire fighting, machinery, welding and textiles. Occupational lung diseases are the leading cause of work-related illness. Smoking increases the severity of this condition and exasperates symptoms and the progression of these diseases.
Repeated exposure to certain irritants. These irritants can include, but are not limited to: dust, asbestos, molds, ash, soot, exhaust, fires, mining, carbon oxides, etc.
Diseases that are caused by occupational lung disease will present a variety of symptoms that at times mirror pneumonia or lung cancer. Coughing, chest pain and/or tightness, shortness of breath and an abnormal breathing pattern are a few examples of the symptoms associated with occupational lung disease.
Treatment for occupational lung disease will depend on the type of disease that is actually diagnosed and the extent of the stage or progression of the disease. Medications, surgeries and procedures are available to help treat a variety of occupational-related lung diseases.


Comedian Louie Anderson, the second youngest of 11 children, grew up in Milwaukee. Much of his best material, understandably, focuses on growing up in a house packed with people, struggling to make ends meet, and the general frustrations of the working class.
Anderson's life-changing moment came in 1981, when he won first place in a regional comedy competition hosted by the legendary Henny Youngman. Youngman was so impressed with Anderson that he immediately hired him as a writer. Three years later, he had his national television debut on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He quickly became a surprisingly versatile performer, including hosting Family Feud and winning two Emmys for his Saturday-morning cartoon Life With Louie. During all these other ventures, he recorded four comedy specials, wrote three books and received a long-term contract to star in his own show in Las Vegas, which still runs at Palace Station in the theater named after him. All of Anderson's achievements in comedy and entertainment have allowed him to devote serious energy and money to causes he holds dear, such as homelessness and the treatment of animals.
Despite his success, Anderson stays loyal to his stand-up audiences. Some of his favorite moments come after a show, when he's mingling with fans and someone comes up and quietly mentions that they, too, ate government cheese as a kid and scrounged random furniture from the dump. For Anderson, it's a nice reminder that what he says resonates with people, and they still connect with him after all these years.

What is War
Today, some see only Just Wars as legitimate, and it is the goal of organizations such as the United Nations to unite the world against wars of unjust aggression.With the passsage of time different societies have attempted to limit the cost of war by formalizing it in some way. There have been limitations set on targeting innocent civilians, on what type of weapons should be used. Although culture, law, and religion have been the vital factors in causing wars, they have also proved to be

War in Iraq
Year, President Bush rejected a war funding bill offered by the Democratic-controlled Congress because it mandated a partial troop withdrawal beginning in October, 2007, and continuing until all U. military personnel in Iraq were back home by April 2008. Bush responded with a veto stating that deadlines for troop withdrawals would be "irresponsible." The Congress soon acquiesced and approved an Iraq spending bill with 'no strings attached.' Even congressional democrats who are
What May Justify Israel to Use Military Action to Prevent Iran from Developing a Nuclear Weapon Capacity
The article clearly speaks of the inherent right of the individual member of the UN in case there is an armed attack that has occurred against it. Since Israel is a member of the UN then it may be inferred that it can use this part of the UN Charter to use military action in destroying any nuclear weapon that may be possessed by Iran that it may use against Israel.
War or Military Conflict
In the case of Iraq, the blowing up of the oil wells and the protracted war in Iraq have produced similar damaging repercussions on the environment and on women. This essay questions whether the ethical objectives of the Earth Charter in preservation of the environment and upholding human rights are being sustained and if not, what measures could be taken to do so.Ever since Sudan gained its independence in 1956, it has been beset by civil wars between the North and the South, culminating in

Winning the war for the terrorist: Wreckless government spending defeating America for our enemies
However, it has no control over the several other security related entities. Thus, the secret service, which is seized with the security of the president has been transferred from the Department of Treasury to the DHS. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to remain with the Department of Justice, despite its significance to homeland security (de Rugy, 2006, p.There has been a marked failure on the part of Congress to match the consolidation of its oversight regarding the
What caused the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979
Extremism: Soviet when invaded Afghanistan gave a reason that there was Islamic extremism, and they justified their atrocities that they wanted to bring a change in their set-up, as they were ignorant. The Soviet ideology was Atheism, so they wanted to create a stable communist society, portraying that the system needs to be reformed, and they need to safeguard the government from Islamic fundamentalism4 (Cordovez 1995).Analysis through political events: In reality these were not the cases.

The initial strategies used by the United States to combat the competitors would not work in China. For instance, the use of Cold War in China is plainly unthinkable, considering the current position of China.

The extraordinary economic and active diplomacy of
What is Intelligence
Under this process, intelligence officials will develop areas or issues that intelligence is supposed to create a contribution. Policy makers will have to decide on which area or issue is more important than the other. This is for purposes of enabling intelligence officials to place more time and energy in gathering information from the issues under consideration. This stage involves classification of different types of intelligence. It is important to denote that all policies have requirements
Who Prepared better for WWII in the Pacific Theater - Japan or U.S
However, this was not the case even though their strategy was well set. Their move to expand in Korea was a prudent idea since it increased its oil production by over two million barrels. One million barrels were from Manchukuo and another one million from Famosa in Taiwan (McNaughton 48).Japan had also established a small synthetic petroleum industry that was also toping up its huge oil demand. Other nation's trade bans and oil cut supply such as USA in attempt to persuade it from conquering
What caused the 1956 Suez Conflict
However, during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, Japan and Britain entered into separate bilateral agreements that denied Russia use of the canal.During the First World War, the importance of the passage was realised when British and France limited its use to its allies. Egypt's fate changed in 1936 when the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty was signed bestowing the ownership of the property to England. British took control until the 1950's when the first owners, Egypt re-initiated control. England

Why is there more terrorism today
Since the mid 1990's, terrorism has evolved from its traditional violent characteristics to a new form with significantly different connotations. New terrorism is recognized as having a more lethal implication to society than that of traditional terrorist activities (Hoffman 1998). Traditional (old) terrorism, throughout history, generally involved revolutionaries using assassinations as a means to rise up against autocratic or oppressive government regimes. Old terrorist activities were

Interdimensional Hypothesis
Chupacabras Q & A
Writer and editor of the Inexplicata journal, Scott Corrales, shared cases and theories of the legendary chupacabras. The "boiler plate" description of the creature includes a humanoid head, kangaroo-like body (minus the tail), red eyes, arms ending in claws, thin membrane-like wings, and vibrating multicolored quills, he detailed. There were a spate of sightings and attacks in which blood was drained from animals in such places as Puerto Rico, Mexico and South America during the 1990's, but case reports have become less frequent (if you don't count probably unrelated recent creatures such as the Elmendorf Beast in Texas).
In a frightening biological explanation, Corrales proposed that the chupacabras could actually be giant insects. In one incident, a man hit one of the creatures with a machete, and he said it felt like its body may have been hollow inside a hard shell. The insect theory could also account for how the chupacabras is able to fly, drain blood and inject an enzyme that liquefies the insides of its prey, he said. Another theory posits that the creatures live deep within a cave system which may actually be a dimensional portal.
In April 2000, there were reports that the Chilean military bombed a chupacabras nest in an abandoned mine, Corrales reported. He also shared how psychics reacted to photos of alleged chupacabras. They suggested that the creature is very intelligent but highly malevolent and delights in causing confusion among humans.
In the 1st half-hour, psychic intuitive Norm Pratt shared details of how he helped locate the missing body of a young woman in British Columbia. He said he walked in the woods near where he lives and began receiving impressions about the woman which he thought might be accurate.
He subsequently checked with the police in Nelson, B.C. and found that his information matched unreleased data about the case. In an ongoing process of working with the police, his visions eventually led to the discovery of her clothes and remains.
Shroud Update
In the 2nd half-hour researcher Mark Antonacci reacted to new dating information on the Shroud of Turin. Chemist Raymond Rogers has found that the cloth may be somewhere between 1300 and 3000 years old, but Antonacci thinks this may be an overly wide approximation. The shroud shows signs of a radiation process that occurred when Jesus died, Antonacci added.

A few years ago I gave my stepmom's screen porch a much needed makeover. At the time we noticed the seat cushions were starting to sag, but decided they still functioned. This year, my stepmom told me they had to be fixed. Boy was she right! Today I'm going to show you the easiest (and most permanent) way to fix sagging furniture seat cushions for good!
If you've ever dealt with sagging porch furniture I have a simple solution for you! Let's get fixing!
Feel free to watch the video or read the full tutorial below. It's your choice.
If your furniture has removable seat frames, take them off the seats. Measure the seat frames and figure out how much plywood you'll need to cover the seat frames.
Put a piece of rigid foam insulation under your plywood sheet. Set the depth of your blade just slightly deeper than your lumber. Cut the plywood on top of the insulation. The insulation supports the plywood while the saw blade cuts into the insulation and not your work surface.
If your seat frame has webbing, go ahead and cut it off the frame. Throw away the webbing.
Trace around any corners or specific shapes of your seat frame.
Use a jigsaw to cut off these shapes.
Sand all rough edges and give the entire plywood seat a good sanding to remove splinters.
If your plywood seat will be exposed to the elements, it's a good idea to seal it with primer and/or paint.
To secure the plywood to the seat frame, drive a screw through the plywood at each corner of the frame. Stop when the screw head is resting on top of the frame. Add more screws at any cross supports. The screws are mainly to keep the plywood centered on the frame, so they don't have to be super strong structurally.
Set your plywood seat frame back into the furniture. We chose to have the old frame on top otherwise you would see the edge of the plywood.
I hope this tutorial helped you fix your sagging furniture cushions! Let me know if you tried this fix and how it worked for you.

Aquaphotomics shows how plants control their water structure to survive
5 March 2019 | News
A small group of plants known as "resurrection plants" can survive months or even years without water. Researchers in Japan and Bulgaria have used near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and aquaphotomics to monitor the entire processes of drying and subsequent rehydration of one such plant, Haberlea rhodopensis. Results were compared to the same processes for its non-resurrection relative. The results showed that during drying, the resurrection plant performs fine restructuring of water in its leaves, preparing itself for the dry period by accumulating water molecular dimers and water molecules with four hydrogen bonds, while drastically diminishing free water molecules. This regulation of water structure is thought to be the mechanism of how the plant preserves its tissues against dehydration-induced damages and allows it to survive in the dry state. The discovery that water structure is important for preservation of the plants during drought stress opens up a new direction for bioengineering and improving the drought tolerance ability of plants. The research was published in Scientific Reports.
When Haberlea rhodopensis was losing water, it kept the number of free water molecules, water dimers, trimers and more hydrogen-bonded water molecules in the same ratios. While the numbers of these molecules diminished, their relationship was kept constant, suggesting orchestrated efforts by the plant to keep the water in a certain state. Such ability was not observed in Deinostigma eberhardtii, and the ratios of water species in its leaves randomly fluctuated.
Drastic differences of the water structure in the leaves were observed when both plants were in the completely dried state. In this final phase, Haberlea rhodopensis radically diminished free water molecules and accumulated water dimers and water molecules with four hydrogen bonds. Deinostigma eberhardtii, in contrast never showed any such radical transformation of water structure. Up to the very last moment, even in the completely dried state it still had a lot of free water molecules, but now involved in spoliation and decay processes.
During rehydration, Haberlea rhodopensis showed the same orchestrated dynamics of reorganisation of water structure, by performing orderly incremental changes of almost all water species.
This research showed for the first time that the structure of water, not its content, is what matters to the survival of the organism. When people think about life, we often associate dynamic features with the processes in living systems. And yet, in this peculiar plant, in the absence of visible signs of ongoing metabolism, achieving a specific water structure was its survival tool.
As a result, the study sheds some light on what may be the most fundamental feature of a living system: it is the structural organisation, rather than the dynamics, that is at its core. And the structure of water is shaped by the numerous substances produced in the cells. These may be sugars, amino acids or other biomolecules, but their final goal is achievement of a certain state of water molecular structure which allows the preservation of tissues and prevention of damage.
This research adds to our growing understanding of the mechanisms by which some organisms achieve their remarkable tolerance to extreme dehydration. It has discovered a target for modification in order to achieve better tolerance to drought in plants, which obviously can be achieved using different strategies (sugars, amino acids, proteins etc.) as long as they exert such influence on water molecular structure that would lead to decrease of free water molecules and increase of hydrogen bonded water. The aquaphotomics NIR spectroscopy method allows direct, non-destructive insight into the living processes and water structure and dynamics in real time and is as a valuable new tool for studying not only the abiotic and biotic stress in plants, but many other phenomena in living systems.

She was the first black African, the youngest (under 40) and third woman to hold this position. She was also known to be the first leader based outside the United Kingdom.

Early years
Ngwenya was born in the United Kingdom but was raised in Zimbabwe.

Like many Africans, she has a rich and blended heritage. Her paternal ancestors, known by the family name Mokoena, hailed from Lesotho. Her great grandfather was coerced into adopting the Zulu name Ngwenya and the family later settled in a Shona-speaking part of Zimbabwe.

Her father trained and worked as a metallurgist/minerals engineer and her mother as a psychiatric nurse.

Education
Ngwenya attended Chisipite Senior School in Harare, where she acquired her advanced level education. Initially she wanted to become a pilot and later succeeded in gaining admission to study Actuarial Science at the London School of Economics but she could not complete due to currency problems in Zimbabwe. She later qualified as an actuary while working. She holds a sloan master's degree in Leadership and Strategy from the London Business School.

Career
The Britain's House of Common's Treasury Committee Approved Appointment of Marjorie Ngwenya to the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Committee, effective 5 September 2022 for a three-year term.

She is currently an independent non-executive director at Tangerine Life in Nigeria and its holding company Tangerine Financial, registered in the United Kingdom.

She has held various global leadership positions. In her earlier years she worked with Deloitte as a tax advisor and actuarial manager, Swiss Re in London as a Senior Risk Actuary, Mazars in London as a director, as editor of the Actuary magazine, as Chief Risk Officer of Old Mutual Africa in Johannesburg and as Group Strategy Executive at Liberty in South Africa. In June 2016, she was elected president of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries by the IFoA Council. She served briefly on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (2019/2020).

In addition to being a board member for several financial services and not-for-profit institutions, she is a leadership and life purpose coach, an author and a motivational speaker.
