The Good, The Bad, and What The?: Tenzin from The Legend of Korra
Welcome to this week's article of The Good, Bad, and What The?, where we took a good, long look at characters in movies, video games, anime, and books and put them on the judgement table to see if they are worthy to be in their respective stories. I strongly believe that well developed characters are more important than anything else in a good story, so I always judge them hard. At the end of every character's evaluation I will give them one of four ratings: Good for those characters that are developed and deserve their place in the story, Bad for those characters that have no place being made or interacting with anyone else in the story, What The for the characters I just can't figure out, and then the characters who are dull as dishwasher will get the rating of Sack of Potatoes. Today on the judgement table: Tenzin, Aang's oldest son and Korra's airbending teacher in "The Legend of Korra."
As always, the story sum up. Korra is the newest in the infinite line of Avatars. From the age of four her parents knew she was the Avatar as she could already bend earth, fire, and water with ease. She could not, however, airbend. Once Korra was discovered she moved to Republic City, which is like the New York City of the Avatar world, to learn the art of airbending from Aang's son. Tenzin and his three kids Jinora, Ikki, and Milo are the only four airbenders alive. To be fair, that is better than when Aang was the only living airbender. Tenzin does much more throughout the show than simply teach Korra airbending though, he is an overall important character.
Tenzin is basically Aang version 2.0. He looks very much like Aang and because he is the airbender of Aang's three kids he practices and teaches his kids the ways of being an air nomad. He has the tattoos and robes just like Aang. The major difference, though, is that Tenzin has a very manly beautiful beard. Aang's other two kids Kya and Bumi are very different from Tenzin, Kya is the waterbender and Bumi is a non bender and neither look much like Aang. Tenzin is of course a great airbending master so naturally teaching Korra should be a simple task. Tenzin however does not account for Korra's…hard head. She couldn't do airbendending initially because she doesn't have the calm energy needed to airbend. Tenzin doesn't really understand this problem at first. Tenzin was raised his whole life in the airbender ways. He is sort of ignorant of the other bending forms and people's different emotions attached to that bending. It's hinted at many times that Tenzin was Aang's "favorite." This makes it so that Tenzin is very much like Aang and focuses very hard on training and religious practice, or air nomad practice in this case. It turns out that Aang wasn't a great parent and as such Tenzin has a very similar issue. He becomes so focused on things like meditating and practice that he becomes a very hard teacher instead of a father. He pushes this on his kids and Korra. In time though Tenzin begins to understand that maybe being just like Aang isn't the best thing to do. Tenzin starts to really lighten up and understand the error in his methods because of his family and Korra. It shows he is a character that isn't infallible; he has flaws like a real person. This makes him more relatable and as always being relatable is a good thing. All of the things you learn about Tenzin at first make you kind of not like him because he seems so harsh. When you really see Tenzin for who is and when he gets sad and understanding, you suddenly love him a lot more.
Now after the first season Korra has learned airbending and is having a hard time living with Tenzin. To say they butt heads a lot is a bit of an understatement. There is still a sort of family love that exist between them though. The humor to it is both Korra and Tenzin have a habit of tough love and it makes them have trouble getting along sometimes. In the second season though Tenzin is less important to the story. He takes the place of a sort of mentor and gives suggestions, but Korra tends to do things her way anyway. Tenzin of course becomes frustrated with Korra's lack of calm thinking but accepts she has to do things on her own. She has to learn to be the Avatar. Korra ends up firing Tenzin as her mentor and accepts the mentoring of Unalaq instead. Unalaq is a water bending master and very good at taming evil spirits. Tenzin sadly steps down and leaves, fearing where Unalaq will lead Korra. One of the biggest parts to Tenzin in the second season was that he tried hard to bond with his family. He tried to do a family vacation, which rather humorously failed, but he did try. When his daughter Ikki went missing Tenzin went with his siblings Bumi and Kya to find her. Through some butting heads and struggling to find Ikki, Tenzin gets much closer with his siblings at this point. It took many years but he did bond with them. Later when Korra needs to enter the spirit world, Tenzin admits he has never done it himself even though he was taught how and tried very hard to get Korra in. He admits to his weakness but doesn't give up in trying to help Korra. Jinora ends up being the one who is a good spiritual leader. Tenzin though never at any point stops helping Korra in any way he can and often tells her how great she is even though they fight a lot. By this time you really love Tenzin and he only gets better. Later on Tenzin speaks with an apparition of Aang in the spirit world. After talking to it Tenzin accepts that he doesn't need to his father he is Tenzin and that is all he needs to be. Now Tenzin is just that much more awesome. The best too come though is when you really get to see Tenzin fight in the third season.
In the third season there is a group of assassinations after Korra known as the Red Lotus. Because of the spirit portals that were left open by Korra in season two, new people are gaining airbending powers. With all of these news airbenders appearing, Tenzin makes it his duty to train these benders and rebuild the air nation from nothing. This whole time, though, Korra is being hunted and she isn't aware of it. Before they meet the Red Lotus Tenzin, Korra, and team Avatar set out to many different places to recruit these newly found airbenders. It takes a long time and a lot convincing to round up all the people willing to come with them but eventually Tenzin has his new air nomads, kind of. Teaching these new airbenders is very taxing on Tenzin and he has a hard time convincing them being a air nomad is great. He even ends up asking Bumi for help with the teaching, which does not go well. Another thing that ends in hilarious failure. It is a giant pressure and struggle for Tenzin to handle and you really feel bad for him. There were points where I could really emphasize with the stress he was under. He stays tough as he can though throughout the ordeal. This was probably my favorite season for Tenzin because when the Red Lotus attacks you really get to see what he can do. The Red Lotus captures the airbenders and Tenzin's family to use as blackmail for getting to Korra. Tenzin says he would rather die than submit and give up Korra. My favorite fight scene of the whole series then goes down. Tenzin fights the leader of the Red Lotus alone like a complete boss. It was amazing to watch him really show what airbending can do. He gets badly beaten and defeated but he put up an amazing fight. After defeating the Red Lotus with Korra and teaching all of the new airbenders Tenzin has his air nomads. He also appointed his oldest daughter Jinora as a airbending master after she skillfully convinced him she was worthy. The airbenders have become a force in the world once again.
His verdict is Good, rather fantastic actually. He in the end is just a lovable and hilarious character. He is funny much the way Sokka and Aang were and has random spurts of great humor and then returns back serious as quick as he can. He ends up being a great father even more than Aang and becomes a second father to Korra. He is a complete beast at fighting when he needs to and is rebuilding a nation from scratch. You can't help but like this guy and all of the hard work he puts in. He wants to help the Avatar and bring back the airbending people he never got to know. I recommend this show in the highest regard to anyone it is truly a gem of a show and there is so much more to Tenzin then what I just said here.

Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space
By Janna Levin
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf
From one of our most eminent theoretical astrophysicists and an award-winning writer, a fascinating, firsthand history of the scientific pursuit to detect gravitational waves: the holy grail of modern cosmology, the soundtrack of the universe.In 1916, Einstein became the first to predict the existence of gravitational waves: sounds without a material medium generated by the unfathomably energy-producing collision of black holes. Now Janna Levin, herself an astrophysicist, recounts the story of the search over the last fifty years for these elusive waves--a quest that has culminated in the creation of the most expensive project ever funded by the National Science Foundation ($1 billion-plus). She makes clear how the waves are created in the cosmic collision of black holes, and why the waves can never be detected by telescope. And, most revealingly, she delves into the lives and fates of the four scientists currently engaged in--and obsessed with--discerning this soundtrack of the universe's history. Levin's account of the surprises, disappointments, achievements, and risks of this unfolding story provides us with a uniquely compelling and intimate portrait of the people and processes of modern science.
Blue Laws: Selected and Uncollected Poems, 1995-2015
By Kevin Young
A rich and lively gathering of highlights from the first twenty years of an extraordinary career, interspersed with "B sides" and outtakes from this prolific and universally acclaimed poet.    Blue Laws gathers poems written over the past two decades, drawing from all nine of Kevin Young's previously published books of poetry and including a number of uncollected, often unpublished, poems. From his stunning lyric debut (Most Way Home,1995) and the amazing "double album" life of Jean-Michel Basquiat (2001, "remixed" for Knopf in 2005), through his brokenhearted Jelly Roll: A Blues and his recent forays into adult grief and the joys of birth in Dear Darkness and Book of Hours, this collection provides a grand tour of a poet whose personal poems and political poems are equally riveting. Together with wonderful outtakes and previously unseen blues, the profoundly felt poems here of family, Southern food, and loss are of a piece with the depth of personal sensibility and humanity found in his Ardency: A Chronicle of the Amistad Rebels or sequences such as "The Ballad of Jim Crow" and a new "Homage to Phillis Wheatley."

By Claudia Rankine
A provocative meditation on race, Claudia Rankine's long-awaited follow up to her groundbreaking book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American LyricClaudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV—everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.
Dept. of Speculation
By Jenny Offill
Publisher: Vintage Contemporaries
In the beginning, it was easy to imagine their future. They were young and giddy, sure of themselves and of their love for each other. "Dept. of Speculation" was their code name for all the thrilling uncertainties that lay ahead. Then they got married, had a child and navigated the familiar calamities of family life—a colicky baby, a faltering relationship, stalled ambitions. When their marriage reaches a sudden breaking point, the wife tries to retrace the steps that have led them to this place, invoking everything from Kafka to the Stoics to doomed Russian cosmonauts as she analyzes what is lost and what remains. In language that shimmers with rage and longing and wit, Offill has created a brilliantly suspenseful love story—a novel to read in one sitting, even as its piercing meditations linger long after the last page.

Most great things come from humble beginnings. Great companies. Great non-profits. Great endeavors. Great ideas. Many of them come from people you wouldn't expect, working jobs that have nothing to do with their big ideas. But they see a problem in the world and they see their opportunity to make a big impact with their big idea. It's the barista at your local Cup of Joy, the sixth grade teacher at Liberty Elementary, the loan processor at Resource Lenders, bank teller at EECU, the cashier at Food 4 Less, the sales associate at Clovis Glass, the seasonal life-guard at Wild Water Adventures and the woodworker who sells their work to Vintage on Fourth that might just have the next BIG idea. And that idea might change the world.
And I want to encourage him or her to pursue it.
Check out this short video from DELL all about humble beginnings.
These big ideas that grew into major game-changing companies were the ideas of people like you, like me. Everyday people. Make 2014 the year that everyday people changed the world, all over again. Make 2014 the year that humble beginnings comes back into style. It might be a non-profit, it might be a business, a product, a service, a relationship, a trip, a dream or a vision… but you're going to change the world this year. Just make sure the way you change it, matters. Make sure it's not just an idea for idea's sake or an idea for money. Make sure it makes a difference in people's lives. Make sure it counts.
I'm going to start a semi-regular spot on my blog about local people doing amazing things. It might be a leader at a non-profit, a entrepreneur just starting out, a successful business woman, a city official or church leader. It could be you. The point though, is to share just how amazing our community is here in Fresno and Clovis. The point is to celebrate what people in our communities are doing to change the world, and I sincerely hope you are one of them. Check back often to see who I feature.

Why can't I read my hard drive?
Jonathan plugged in an external drive but he can't see it on his Mac. It wants it to re-initialize. Leo says it could be a host of things from the drive, to the cable, to the USB port, to even a software error. So he'll have to break it down. First, unplug the drive and plug it into a new port. If he's using a USB hub, try directly into the computer instead. Make sure if it's a powered drive that it's getting power. Jonathan can run Disk Utility on the Mac and see if it sees the drive. If he sees it there, then that means that the drive is starting to fail or the formatting is corrupted. Or, the table of contents is corrupted and as such, it doesn't know where the data is. The fact is, the larger the drive, the more vulnerable it can be. Bottom line though, sometimes a hard drive just fails. A certain percentage do every year. Even if they're six months old.


When I feel bad, I don't even have to talk to you about anything specific. Just talking to you at all makes me feel better, even when we talk about nothing!
1) Moments like that make parenting worthwhile. Every single bit of it.
2) I want to remember that this is true of my relationship with God as well. Even when I can't pinpoint a specific problem and even when He doesn't come down and miraculously make everything all better.
Thank You, Lord, for letting me be a mommy!
Oh, Joanna, the feeling is so mutual!

Looks cool, but the nemesis systems feels too gimmicky. Like, i'm sure it's maybe 8 canned scenarious in which you amputate a guy, beat a guy, burn a guy, or whatever... after a few hours if playing it will become old and boring. Would probably be a cool first few hours though.

Special Awards Judges who judge for organizations such as the United States Army and South Dakota Academy of Science.
Scientific Discipline Judges who limit themselves to evaluating projects within one of the following three disciplines: Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Group Projects. These judging teams are broken into two sub-teams each: Junior Division (Grades 6-8) and Senior Division (Grades 9-12).
Attached to every project is an identification sheet displaying the project's number, the project title, the student's name, and the school's name. During the first round of judging, each page must be signed by any one of the Scientific Discipline Judge in the indicated space. Where there are multiple pages for group projects, each page must be signed. Nothing is more devastating to a student than finding his or her project unsigned at the close of the fair.
The project sheet also contains a space for a second judge's signature, which indicates that an interview took place during the afternoon. It is of the essence that every interview blank is signed. Any Judge, Special or Discipline, may sign the interview blank.
Judging Team Leaders are responsible for: a) holding informal meetings of their fellow Judges to achieve consensus, b) determining that all projects within their discipline have been signed and checked, c) submitting the list of award winners to the certificate printing area, d) in some cases making the final decision on grand-prize winners and their alternates and e) handing out medals. Certificates, and trophies at the awards ceremonies.
Each of the six Judging Teams is responsible for finding recipients worthy of the following awards: 1st – 4th place and up to 10 certificates of merit. That's a maximum of 14 awards per Team.
No Judge may communicate with the Fair Director from 10 a.m. until the last award has been decided. However, all Judges may (and should) engage in conversations during the private judging in the morning and the public judging in the afternoon. Extreme caution is urged during the second judging since no information concerning the award winners should reach the students, their advisors, or the public until the awards ceremonies.
The trophies and medals for the 1st – 4th place winners for each of the six Teams will be placed on a table. A packet of ten Awards of Merit will be given to each of the six Team Leaders. Special Awards Judges will be given a packet containing their awards and judging criteria.
Three projects will represent us at the ISEF. These are decided between the three Senior Judging Teams. Once these top-ranked projects have been selected, the heads of the Discipline Judging Teams will have to re-rank their 1st-4th place winners since grand-prize winners receive no other discipline award.
After the grand award winners have been decided, the two Senior Judging Teams for individual projects must select from their top-ranked students the first and second alternate winners. These two individual project winners are encouraged to come to the ISEF but their projects stay at home. Alternates attending the ISEF cover their own travel and expenses. As the name implies, an alternate may inherit the privileges afforded a grand prize winner if that winner is unable to attend the ISEF. The two alternate winners constitute the only case in which the Discipline Judges present a student with a multiple award. The regional fair recognizes no group-project alternate winners but if a group project can't attend the ISEF, then the next-ranked group inherits its privileges.
After the judging ends at 2:00 p.m., those of you who are Special Award Judges or who are one of the six Discipline Judges must record your winners on yellow and white sheets. After this, have your certificates filled in by the computer personnel and be certain to sign them yourselves if that is necessary. Leave the white copy with the computer personnel. Remain until the certificate is signed and leave the white copy behind. Pick up the yellow copy of winners and the signed certificate, put both in the awards ceremony envelope, and bring it with you to the stage. The Assistant Fair Director will place awards such as books and calculators on the table. After the awards ceremony is completed, put the yellow copy of the award winners back in your judge's packet and drop it off at the Registration Table along with your nametag before you leave for the day.
The Fair Director will read the name of the award and request a Judge or a Judging Team to come forward. For example: "The award for the Yale Science and Engineering Association will be presented by Mr. John Jones." At this point, Mr. Jones replaces the Fair Director at the podium.
Special Awards Judges may restate the award and the judging criteria. For example: "The Yale Science and Engineering Association Award is given to the Outstanding Eleventh Grade Exhibit in Computer Science, Engineering Physics or Chemistry. This year's winner is Ms. Jane Smith." The award is handed from Mr. Jones to Ms. Jane Smith with a handshake. The student is applauded and returns to her seat. Mr. Jones returns to his seat and the Fair Director replaces him at the podium. In the case of multiple awards, the presenter should first announce the least prize and proceed on to the greatest. A nice touch is to announce the name of the school first. Instruct the audience to hold its applause until your group is assembled on stage. As you shake the hand of the applicant, give a few words of personal praise, if you can.
Scientific Discipline Judging Teams are introduced by the Director while the Team forms a receiving line. The Team Leader begins by announcing the certificates of merit and encourages applause only after all such winners have arrived at the podium. The students shake the hands of all Team members, are applauded and return to their seats. The other awards are handled in a similar fashion, one student at a time.
The awards ceremony should be impressive but brief. We wish teachers and students sufficient time before 5 p.m. to examine the winning and losing projects so that every year our best two students will stand a greater chance of winning big at the International Science and Engineering Fair.
If you are new to the fair, then note that science projects ordinarily contain a statement of hypothesis followed by a "methods" section, a "results" section, and finally a discussion and/or conclusion. Mathematics projects and engineering projects (including software engineering) need not proceed along these lines. Still they must "tell a story" in that they begin with a goal that is to be met, then explain how the student tried to meet that goal, and end by showing how the goal was realized. Engineering projects that don't "work" can't win.
Can a project win if it has absolutely no social utility? In the case of mathematics projects, the answer is a clear "yes". That can also be true of a science project, though if two such projects are otherwise identical, the one whose utility has been best thought out, wins. Two engineering projects can be difficult to compare if: a) one is highly beneficial to society but is simply or poorly crafted. b) the other has few social benefits but is highly complex and well-built. It is common for judges to have differing opinions concerning which of the two above projects deserves the highest award. Such "difficult calls" may be best left to those who are engineers themselves.
Project information should flow from left to right and then top to bottom. Thus, the hypothesis statement should be on the leftmost panel, usually at the top or center (after a summary of prior research). The conclusion should be placed at the bottom of the rightmost panel. It is not vital for projects to be so arranged but a logical flow of language greatly enhances project clarity. Do not blame yourself if a project is unclear upon a first reading; the burden is on the student to present his or her research so that any literate member of the general public can grasp the essence of it. All project flaws that impede clarity (spelling, grammar, punctuation) weigh against it.
Winning projects have powerful conclusions which show how the student has analyzed his or her experimental data. If time is precious, begin "at the end" by reading those last words. If you find an acceptable level of thought, then read the project "backwards" to determine if such findings are warranted. If the methodology seems sound then put that project on your "short list" for a long interview.
Be frank in your morning judging when you can converse with each other and careful with your words when the student researchers are present to be interviewed. Only constructive criticism is allowed during the interviews; all students are to be treated with the utmost respect, regardless of the merits of their projects. A poorly done project may signal a student with a learning disability (and so may a terrible interview). The fair is full of surprises; some of our best projects come to us from last year's students who silently vowed to do better next year and pushed themselves to realize their fullest scientific potential.

5 ways retirees and savers can navigate 2023
With 2023 posing challenges such as a potential recession, more market volatility and further interest rate increases, retirees and those saving for retirement may find it safer to stick to the basics and hunker down for another turbulent year.
Here's five strategies to get through the year.
'Ignore the noise'
"With the cross current investors are facing right now – pending potential recession, inflation, higher interest rates and drop in the markets – retirees and savers should continue to focus on the long term," Rob Williams, managing director of financial planning at Charles Schwab. "Have a plan and ignore the noise in the market."
With the potential recession looming, investors will likely be more emotional, Williams said.
"Investing is an emotional thing. Retirement is an emotional thing. Saving and investing in your own retirement can be very stressful," Williams said.
This is the time to stick to your long-term plan that reflects your risk tolerance, said Matt Brancato, chief client officer for the institutional investor group at Vanguard.
"This coming year is not going to be without challenges. Stay focused on the long-term," Brancato said.

Safeguard money needed in the next two to four years
"Think about how much you'll need in the next two to four years – for retirement or a child's education – and not be exposed to risk for that amount," Williams said.
Secure that money in safer short-term investment vehicles, such as CDs, high-yield savings accounts, and bond funds.

'Don't chase fads'
"Look at areas that have enduring investment opportunities. Don't chase fads. That's just not the path to take. Some firms are looking for the next great thing or free lunch and you want to avoid investment fads and focus on a long-term plan," said Brancato.
Williams agreed, adding that retirees and savers should "contribute everything you can into a diversified portfolio. Swinging for the fences on a stock or two – for most people that doesn't work out well."

For those who still have many years before retiring, start saving as soon as possible. Don't worry about timing the market or finding the perfect investment environment. Just get going.
"Have a plan and start early. Start saving 15% – start with something – and start soon. It's all about time in the market and having a disciplined plan," said Williams.
Take advantage of potential changes
Currently, Congress is crafting the final details of what is commonly known as SECURE 2.0, which would be an update to the 2019 measure called Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act.
While the exact timing of passage remains unclear, experts seem confident that the retirement reforms will pass by the end of this year, or potentially early next year.
Under SECURE 2.0, experts hope to see an increase in the required minimum distribution age to age 75, automatic enrollment of new workers into a retirement plan with the opportunity to opt out, and an increase to catch-up contributions older workers can make to their retirement accounts, among other changes.
Once the measure passes, learn what you can do to enhance your retirement savings, catch-up contributions or get started in savings.
"Anything that provides retirement savers the ability to catch up is really important," Williams said. "Even if it doesn't pass this year, we're hopeful that it could pass in the new year. It has very significant bipartisan support to continue savers taking ownership of their own retirements."

Whitehouse.gov Nineteen days after taking office, Benjamin Harrison signed a proclamation opening Indian Territory in Oklahoma to settlers.
This is the 23rd in a series of 44 stories exploring past presidents' attitudes toward Native Americans, challenges and triumphs regarding tribes, and the federal laws and Indian policies enacted during their terms in office.
Nineteen days after taking office, Benjamin Harrison signed a proclamation opening Indian Territory in Oklahoma to settlers.
The March 23, 1889 proclamation made 1.9 million acres of "unassigned lands" available to white settlers and kicked off one of the most chaotic chapters in American history. At high noon on April 22, a gunshot rang out and an estimated 50,000 settlers crossed into the territory by wagon, horseback, bicycle, train or foot and claimed all the available land before nightfall.
The Oklahoma Land Run came on the heels of two acts signed by Harrison's predecessor, President Grover Cleveland. The Dawes Act of 1887 authorized the President to divide Indian land into individual allotments and the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889 officially opened surplus or unassigned lands to white settlers.
Known for its "boomers," settlers campaigning for the land to be opened, and "sooners," those who illegally entered the territory ahead of time, the land rush has become an iconic era in the history of the West. Thousands of Americans gained new hope as they claimed 160-acre parcels and the opportunity that came with land ownership.
But the rush also set the tone for Harrison's presidency, which was marked by similar land grabs and last-ditch efforts by Indians to hold on to their territory.
During Harrison's four years in office, six states were admitted to the Union, including four during his first year alone: North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Montana. Idaho and Wyoming were admitted in 1890.
Harrison also forced the Sioux Nation in the Dakotas to divide into separate reservations and relinquish 11 million acres of land, and the Crow to give up 1.8 million acres of land for general settlement in Montana. As more Indians accepted land allotments, Harrison also opened to white settlers "surplus" lands acquired from the Cheyenne and Arapaho nations and the Sac and Fox.
Born in Indiana in 1833, Harrison was the grandson of the ninth U.S. president, William Henry Harrison. A conservative attorney and advocate of big business, Harrison served as a colonel during the Civil War and a U.S. senator before running for president in 1888. A member of the Republican Party, he served one term, from 1889 to 1893.
During his administration, Congress passed the first Forest Reserve Act, granting the President power to create national forests. Harrison used the act 17 times, setting aside land in Colorado, Oregon, California, Washington and the New Mexico, Arizona and Alaska territories. He also opened the second, third and fourth national parks and set aside the first prehistoric Indian ruin to come under federal protection, at Casa Grande, Arizona.
Harrison was less inclined to preserve the lives and ways of living Indians. In his first message to Congress, in December 1889, Harrison called Indians an "ignorant and helpless people" whose best chance at survival was assimilation.
Reservations were generally surrounded by white settlements and the only way to manage the Indian was to "push him upward into the estate of self-supporting and responsible citizen," he said. Adults should be located on farms and children should be enrolled in school.
Indians viewed these policies as campaigns to take their land, and some sought answers from spiritual sources. In the winter of 1889, a Paiute man named Wokova had a vision of the Creator and the dead of his nation. When he returned from the vision, Wokova encouraged his people to work hard and live peacefully with the white settlers, promising that "eventually they would be reunited with the dead in a world without death or sickness or old age," Stephen Cornell wrote in his 1990 book, The Return of the Native: American Indian Political Resurgence.
Wovoka also brought back a ceremonial dance he said would bring about this transformation. Known as the Ghost Dance, the ceremony quickly spread to other tribes, including the Sioux at Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Burned by a legacy of broken promises, the Sioux adopted the Ghost Dance and "gave to the prophecies a hostile content: In their version, the whites were to be annihilated by a massive whirlwind," Cornell wrote.
Government officials in Washington, fearing the ceremony could incite violence, sent military troops to Pine Ridge. Leaders of the Ghost Dance movement retreated to the reservation's isolated northern boundary.
In the early morning of December 15, 1890, agents surprised Chief Sitting Bull and tried to arrest him. When Sitting Bull resisted, agents shot him at close range, escalating tensions between the Sioux and the U.S. military.
On the morning of December 29, 1890, soldiers from the Seventh Cavalry perched on a hill above Wounded Knee Creek and shot unarmed men, women and children. An estimated 146 Sioux and 29 soldiers were killed in the infamous Wounded Knee Massacre, which marked the last time the U.S. militia systematically slaughtered Indians.
Harrison, who had a reputation as "the human iceberg," took no responsibility for what happened at Wounded Knee. He honored the Seventh Cavalry for their distinguished service, and 20 soldiers later received the Medal of Honor for their part in the massacre.
Harrison left office in 1893 and was succeeded by Grover Cleveland. He died in 1901 at age 67.


Are we on the way to curing age-related dementia?
As the nation's baby boomers age, they are increasingly worried that their memories will deteriorate — and with good reason. An estimated 10 million boomers will develop Alzheimer's disease or another memory-destroying neurodegenerative condition in the coming years. Policy makers and health officials worry that the resulting bulge in the number of sufferers will burden the nation's already strained health-care system. In the wake of these concerns, a vibrant brain-fitness industry is offering a variety of ways to help people keep their brains healthy, including the use of cognition-enhancing drugs and exercise. But many experts say much of what the public is being told is of limited value, at best. Intensified brain research begun years ago at the National Institutes of Health is just now beginning to produce data that scientists hope will advance efforts to prevent memory loss, but they worry that flat federal funding since 2003 may compromise the drive for solutions.

Bitto of K-pop group Up10tion tests positive for COVID-19 after appearing on weekend music shows
K-pop singer Bitto from the South Korean boy band Up10tion has tested positive for Covid-19, his agency Top Media announced on Monday.
The agency said that after Bitto appeared on the Music Core and Inkigayo television music programmes on Saturday and Sunday, he was told he had been in close contact with a confirmed case. A test for Covid-19 then came back positive.
Members of other K-pop groups, including new girl group Aespa and boy band NCT also appeared on the programmes and are now being tested.
"Our agency artists, staff and employees who crossed paths or came into contact with Bitto are being tested for Covid-19, and we will take quarantine measures according to instructions by health authorities," Top Media said in a statement.
"Up10tion's following scheduled activities have all been cancelled, and once again we will do our best to take care of our artists and manage sanitation for Covid-19."
Up10tion – which is pronounced "up tension" and is an acronym for "Unbelievable Perfect 10 members Teenager Idol Open Now" – were formed by Top Media in 2015. They debuted with 10 members but now have seven active performers: Bitto, Hwanhee, Xiao, Kogyeol, Sunyoul, Kuhn and Gyujin.
After seeing initial success against the coronavirus, South Korea is now fighting to contain a resurgence in cases, with the country's daily new infections climbing by more than 400 over four straight days.

New York|Five Days of Unrest That Shaped, and Haunted, Newark
50 years after the uprising
Five Days of Unrest That Shaped, and Haunted, Newark

NEWARK — The fuse that ignited this city — violent clashes with the police, gunfire, flames from burning buildings — was a rumor. Word spread that a black cabdriver had been killed inside a police precinct house. It was not true — the driver had been arrested and injured.
Still, it was enough to inflame a population filled with years of pent-up grievances: not only abuse at the hands of the police, but entrenched, unaddressed poverty, urban renewal policies that bypassed black residents and a white political power structure that had long ignored their needs.
The unrest, which started on the night of July 12, 1967, and ended on July 17, came during a period when racial tensions were exploding into violent conflagrations across the country: the Watts neighborhood in Los Angeles, Harlem, Detroit and nearby New Jersey communities, including Plainfield.

Amid all that, what made Newark's unrest striking was the physical toll, placing it among the deadliest of the riots. Over several days, 26 people were killed — many of them black residents, as well as a white firefighter and a white police detective — and more than 700 were injured. The riots caused about $10 million in damages and reduced entire blocks to charred ruins, some of which remain vacant grass-covered lots.
The turbulence also left an enduring legacy in molding perceptions of the city, even though those impressions vary widely. To some, the flames and violence were riots, wrecking neighborhoods and driving away white and middle-class residents, feeding a notion that Newark was a dangerous and broken place. Or it was a rebellion, the uprising of a long-oppressed community that had finally had enough, and from that, a new sense of empowerment was born.

A City Pushed to the Edge
On July 12, 1967, residents of a large public housing development saw the black cabdriver badly beaten by police officers and followed them to the Fourth Police Precinct house, in Newark's Central Ward. The crowd ignored calls for a peaceful protest, and the police responded in force.
Junius W. Williams
He was a law student at the time and has long been a civil rights activist in Newark. He is now director of the Abbott Leadership Institute at Rutgers University, Newark.
It was very tense in Newark before this happened, and it was all based on race and class, but race predominated because all of this was happening at the expense of and to black people, no matter if you were poor, middle-class or working. The police were agents of oppression and the political system was hellbent on keeping us in our place.
The first two or three days there was a sense that this was the relief and the release that people needed. But in the second three days, once the combined police force — local, state and the National Guard — had been fully deployed, there was fear, because the police rioted. If this was a rebellion, the police rioted. They took it in their own hands to seek retribution against people for the slightest infraction.
Paul Zigo
He served as a member of the New Jersey National Guard and deployed to the Central Ward of Newark on July 14, 1967, his 25th birthday. He recently retired as a professor of American history at Brookdale Community College and is the director of the World War II Era Studies Institute.
There was nothing but a huge red glow over the entire city. The city was in flames. You immediately took note of what you may be entering into — and that was a war zone. Buildings were smashed, windows were broken all over the place. You saw a very angry crowd, and when they saw you, they started coming in and around your Jeep.
I saw two black men fighting like hell among themselves, and what I did was pull my pistol and fire two shots into the air. [He told the men to leave.] They stopped fighting and they scampered down the street. But to my surprise, when I did that, someone within a blacked-out church — St. Rose of Lima Church off Orange Street — took aim at me and fired at me. The bullets came toward me and went over my head by about a foot. I didn't know I was being fired at. Someone called out, "Don't you know you're being fired at?" If it weren't for that individual, who I considered an angel, I wouldn't have taken cover.

"We took pride in our police-community relations program. This night has destroyed what we thought was a good relationship. We can't sweep this under a rug. Time is running out. It has gotten to the point where you can't take it any longer."
Albert Black
Chairman of Newark's Human Rights Commission, quoted by The New York Times in a 1967 article about a meeting with Mayor Hugh J. Addonizio on the second day of unrest, in which black leaders expressed frustration with the police over racism and brutality.

He grew up in Newark, leaving in 1971 for college at Columbia University. He and his wife raised their four sons in Ridgewood, N.J., and they now live there and in New York City, where he works as a lawyer and adjunct professor at New York University Law School.

I was a 13-year-old paperboy for The Newark Star-Ledger in the Vailsburg section of Newark. I saw military vehicles with soldiers riding up and down South Orange Avenue. Some of the paperboys were sent out of town to stay with relatives to the dismay of our manager, Mr. Lamb. I carried a book of poems by Amiri Baraka on my route, hoping I would be seen as an ally if I ran into any rioters. The father of a friend from the neighborhood was a fireman. He was shot and killed by a sniper — firemen rode on the outside of the truck, clinging to the railing back then. Mayor Hugh Addonizio was one of my customers. I delivered my papers every morning unharmed, collected from my customers that Friday and Saturday, and paid my bill to Mr. Lamb on Saturday afternoon.
John Peoples
He is a lifelong resident of the city, who was about 4 years old during the unrest.

I only can remember hearing my mother saying, "Boy, move from the window and get under the bed!"
Jonathan Lazarus
He worked in Newark from 1966 to 2006 as an editor for The Newark News, an afternoon newspaper that closed in 1972, and The Star-Ledger. His family lived in the city from 1947 until 1957, when they moved to the suburb of West Orange, where he still lives.
What is your most vivid memory from the riots?
Following the National Guard convoys out of the city at night after my shift as a copy editor ended at The Newark News. I was concerned at the time that my Army Reserve unit may be activated for riot duty. Thankfully, we were not. We lacked even rudimentary training and would have been as ineffective and insensitive as many of the guardsmen and state troopers on the scene. Working through the riots was both frightening and surreal.
But the editors failed in the years leading up to the riots to examine or expose the root causes of the unrest. Very little original reporting was done in the black community, while downtown business interests and the suburbs were lavishly covered. When the city exploded, The News lacked black reporters with deep ties to the community to adequately explain the ferment.
Ruth Dolinko
Ms. Dolinko's husband, Morris, who died in 2010, ran a delicatessen supply business with his father and two other partners. It is now run by her son and another partner. Ms. Dolinko and her husband were both born and raised in Newark, and moved to West Orange in 1956. The business was not damaged in the unrest because, she said, black employees had stationed themselves outside and encouraged rioters to spare it.
The people were very distressed. The way the black community was treated on all levels — that was very difficult. The political level was not good, the housing — you know on all levels. You have to feel a compassion for these people that were hurt, that had nowhere else to turn but to raise their voice that way.
Armando B. Fontoura
He has been the Essex County sheriff since 1990 and is a native of Newark. His career in law enforcement started in 1967 as a city police officer, beginning shortly before the riots. He remained with the department for about two decades, becoming a captain and chief assistant to the police director.
I was a rookie police officer at the time. I had just come out of the academy. You became a seasoned veteran in the war against crime in three days.
It was chaotic, to say the least. We were not prepared. We had no equipment. Guys were bringing in their own helmets. Guys were bringing in their own shotguns.
To see the devastation that was taking place over the next few days — the burning, the looting, the breaking into stores. It was devastating for those of us who love this city, who live in this city. The fear I had wasn't for my own safety, but for watching the city I loved go up in flames. You begin to realize this is going to take a really long time to recover from.

"The people in Newark have to choose sides. They are either citizens of America or criminals who would shoot down a fire captain in the back and then depend on people to speak in platitudes about police brutality."
Gov. RICHARD J. HUGHES
New Jersey's governor from 1962 to 1970, speaking at a news conference as the unrest entered its fifth day.
'Newark Became a Fearful Place'
White residents started leaving Newark well before the riots, drawn by the advent of suburbs and the highway system. But researchers said the unrest propelled the exodus and gave the city a dismal reputation. For those who remained, especially African-Americans, the healing process has been slow and difficult.
Mr. Ricciardi
Before the riots, our neighborhood was filled with cops, firemen, construction workers and teachers. They moved because things were expected to get worse (home values, safety). We did not have the financial option to move — my father was a disabled police officer and my mother worked nights at a hospital in East Orange to support her five children. Newark became a fearful place — above-ground walkways to the Gateway buildings from Penn Station. No one wanted to set foot in Newark.

He grew up in Newark, where his father had owned a watch repair and jewelry store downtown. Mr. White left Newark in 1975, and now lives in Boston after 20 years in Manhattan and the New Jersey suburbs.
Whatever trust and friendliness existed between blacks and whites eroded after the riots. White flight accelerated; the streets that were busy in the downtown area emptied out after 5 p.m., and many businesses closed. While I haven't lived in Newark for many years, I follow its ups and (mostly) downs, wondering when it will experience a rebirth much like Jersey City and Hoboken. It's a shame. My life in Newark was the source of many wonderful memories and I still am quite fond of the town.
Sheriff Fontoura
In the aftermath — the State Police did their thing and left, and we were left to carry on here, and I think folks in the community did not differentiate between the State Police and the Newark police. We all wore blue. We had to repair some of the damage done by other folks.
Our relationship wasn't great to begin with. You could cut the tension with a knife. I remember being on patrol. It took a long time to develop some trust again. That took long, hard work.
Junius WilliamsCreditJoshua Bright for The New York Times
An Empowered Community
One of the sources of frustration was a plan to build a medical school in the Central Ward, which would have occupied more than 150 acres and displaced thousands of residents, most of them black or Hispanic. After the unrest, Mr. Williams, the civil rights activist, argued that black residents were in a position to push back, reducing the school's footprint and encouraging it to serve the surrounding community.
Mr. Williams
As the smoke cleared and the last dying embers of the flames receded, some of us realized the power structure was afraid. First time they had ever been afraid of us in this city. So we began to think of, how are we are going to take advantage of this violence that nobody wanted? My group was formed, the Newark Area Planning Association, and we decided we were going to work on the medical school. We had to cut that medical school down. Some people didn't want it at all, but some of us saw it as something valuable.
The black community was definitely empowered. Nobody wanted that violence. But at the same time, people were politically adept enough to see that we had the opportunity to turn that destructive power into something that was positive for the community, which if they had just allowed us to do in the beginning, it never would have happened.
Mr. Zigo
As I toured Newark after arriving, seeing the devastation I saw, plus the conditions under which many, many people were living in the Central Ward, you could understand why there was an angriness, why there was, you could say, a rebellion. It was pure, pure impoverishment. The lack of attention, you could see it. Go back to Newark now, it's all different. What an improvement. A positive result did come about because of the riots, but it took years.
Mildred C. Crump
Ms. Crump, the president of the Newark City Council, was the first African-American woman elected to the council, in 1994. She moved to Newark from Detroit in 1965, and worked for more than 40 years as a Braille teacher at the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
There has been significant progress, but not enough, trust me. But there's been progress for African-Americans. Now we're a black and brown community. Our Hispanic brothers and sisters were part of the progression that we made. For example, my husband and I bought a house in the South Ward where the Jewish community was in prominence. That could never have happened if 1967 had not happened.

Enduring Problems
Last year, the city reached a settlement with the United States Justice Department that led to the appointment of a federal monitor and the implementation of sweeping reforms, including establishing a civilian oversight committee. A three-year investigation highlighted issues similar to those that fueled the riots: Three-fourths of pedestrian stops cited by the police were not justified, minorities were stopped more often than whites and the use of force was underreported.
Ryan P. Haygood
Mr. Haygood, a civil rights lawyer, is the president and chief executive of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice.
The consent decree is such an important document. It's a 70-page document with more than 100 provisions that contemplate widespread reform in almost every area of policing — in the way officers are trained, in the way officers are disciplined, in the way officers collect and store evidence.
Look at the strides the city has made in 50 years, but there's also a need to look at the underlying issues that led to the Newark rebellion in the first place. If we fail to address those issues, we leave ourselves vulnerable to another rebellion.
Derek Glenn
Mr. Glenn is a Newark police captain and a spokesman for the department.
One of the most important lessons that came out of those challenging days is that the racial composition of the Newark Police Division more closely reflects the demographics of our residents. Today, we have a police division comprising 42 percent Hispanic, 37 percent black and the remaining representing whites, Asians and others. And I'm very proud of these numbers because I know that the people of the city of Newark deserve a police division that they can relate to. The us-against-them mentality is markedly reduced when police reflect the community. This didn't exist in 1967, when only 11 percent of Newark police officers were black in contrast to 50 percent of the city's residents' being black at that time.

"I haven't seen any change. Not in here. There may be change, but I can't see it. All I can say, it's getting real bad."
Henry Punkin
Mr. Punkin, 74, is a retired plumber who moved to Newark from Atlanta when he was 16 years old, and lives in the Springfield/Belmont neighborhood.
Turning a Corner
Ras J. Baraka
He became mayor of Newark in 2014, the latest in a succession of African-Americans elected to lead New Jersey's largest city, starting with Kenneth A. Gibson, who was voted into office three years after the riots. Mr. Baraka, 47, has deep roots in the city; his father is Amiri Baraka, the fiery poet and playwright, who took part in the uprising in 1967, and who died shortly before his son was elected mayor.
Has it recovered? Not completely. There are still some emotional trauma and other things we haven't recovered from and social conditions that led to the rebellion itself. And it hasn't been fully addressed. Some of the physical and economical circumstances, while they're not exactly the same as it was, there are vestiges of it and we've been moving very rapidly to eliminate all of it.
Obviously, some things that exist now didn't exist then that played into why something like that would not happen again. We don't have a predominantly white Police Department anymore. You have a predominantly black and brown Police Department — in leadership positions. You still have issues. But some of those officers come from the city of Newark. Their families are here. Those are the things that changed.
There's the social sector of the community that is basically controlled by black and brown people, so that kind of helps mitigate the conditions. But the underlying circumstances that create poverty and homelessness have not completely gone or been addressed adequately. That's our job to try to get that done.
Even though we're having all these programs to talk about the 50-year anniversary of this rebellion, there hasn't been any real conversation in New Jersey. Most of those folks have left the city. There has been no conversation with those in the suburbs and those in the city to talk about what caused [the riots], which I think would lead to a deeper discussion about equality in America.
Mr. Lazarus
I grew up in Newark when it was a thriving commercial and manufacturing hub, a city of vast parks, strong schools, wonderful branch libraries and viable neighborhoods, all except the Central Ward, the deliberately overlooked ground-zero ghetto. This all went away with the riots. My family moved to the suburbs in 1957, so we escaped the immediacy of the destruction, but felt its impact for a lifetime.
I worked nights in Newark for the remainder of my news career and saw the scarring effects of those four nights of hell linger for decades. But Newark has definitely managed to turn a corner. Development, jobs and commerce are improving. The city has become a higher education center. Political leadership, while imperfect, is superior to previous iterations, both black and white. And, after a 40-year absence, the city ended its food-desert reputation by enticing supermarkets to come in.
Andrea McChristian
She is a lawyer for the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, where she works on criminal justice reform. She has lived in the city for a year and a half.
I really like the diversity of Newark, and the fact that, even though it's a very large city — the largest city in New Jersey — it feels like a small town. When you walk around here, I'll bump into 10 people I know anytime I walk outside. Each of the wards has a different feel, a different flavor.
Even though there is skepticism from a great deal of people who have been hurt before, I think there is also this competing hope, where people are hopeful that maybe this time, with the vibrancy and intergenerational nature with a lot of these coalitions, we can get some reforms going.
I'm sick and tired of talking about the riots. It was 50 years ago. The day we stop talking about the riots, that's the day we make a full comeback.

How The Times covered the riots in 1967
The violence was believed to have started after the arrest of a Negro cabdriver on charges of assaulting a policeman. The crowd of Negroes that gathered outside the Fourth Precinct station house protested the arrest and some persons shouted "police brutality!"
The mob that gathered around the station house threw rocks and bottles. At least five policemen were struck by stones, one policeman reported.
Mayor Hugh J. Addonizio telephoned Gov. Richard J. Hughes at 2:20 a.m. and told the governor that the rampaging Negroes who had looted, burned and smashed their way through the city in the second straight night of violence had produced an "ominous situation."
Gov. Richard J. Hughes declared Newark a city in "criminal insurrection" as the fighting and looting continued despite a curfew and the presence of armed troops. The violence was the nation's worst racial outbreak since the rioting in the Watts section of Los Angeles in 1965.
The governor, red with anger, said shortly before midnight that it was time that the people of Newark chose between the terrorists and law and order.
"This is a criminal insurrection by people who say they hate the white man but who really hate America," Governor Hughes charged.
Nearly half of Newark's 23.7 square miles was an occupied zone. As sporadic sniping continued, guardsmen and policemen — weary and trigger-quick after days and nights of tension — were reported to have engaged each other in several accidental gunfights.
Although the city appeared to be returning to normal, there was yet another fatal incident early today. A Negro was shot and killed by the police in the Negro section while allegedly attempting to loot a store. His death was the 26th since the rioting began Wednesday.

Why does Megan Marker not wear the dress of her friend Victoria Beckham?
Megan Marker and Victoria Beckham became quick friends because the actress left the United States and spent the royal life with Prince Harry of England. Close observers of Marker's wardrobe – many of them – It may be surprising that Markel has not yet worn an ensemble of her designer friends. Obviously, this is for a reason.
The Duchess of Sussex revealed that she had a problem with Beckham's design, one that was good before she became a member of the royal family. In a recent interview with Glamour UK in 2017, Markle said that when choosing her outfit, she had to make sure they worked for people who didn't have a "long torso." "What I started learning was that although the things on the hangers looked amazing, it didn't mean they would make me look amazing," she added. "For example, I like Victoria Beckham's dress, But I don't have a long torso to support this contour. "In other words, this is not personal.
The only surprising aspect of any of this is that Beckham has not yet customized for Mark. Although she has been advising the Duchess as a fashion, she has served as a source of Vanity Fair. "They get along very well and have been in touch recently," the source said. "Megan really likes the Victorian style and is keen to pick her brain and pull the work closet together. She likes Victoria's elegant and beautiful dress, so I hope she will wear it soon." This may happen now – when Beckham inevitably seizes Mark's criticism.
