Sankar and I stand facing six huge, stone-carved heads. Above us are terraces containing the carved bodies to whom these heads once belonged. It is a scene of drama and grandeur, but also destruction.
We are spending three days in southeastern Turkey, gliding from the Roman era back to pre-history and then forward to the Biblical period of Abraham. The occasion: another American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) tour. Our itinerary: the World Heritage site of Nemrut Daği with its larger-than-life sculptures; the Neolithic excavation of Göbekli Tepe; and the town of Şanliurfa, birthplace of the prophet Abraham.
ARIT, that fusty-sounding club I signed up for at the international women's meeting a year before, was turning out to be a real winner. Every two or three weeks the group offered a trip to an interesting, off-the-beaten-track site, as well as access to an interesting group of Turks and expatriates.
I had toured Istanbul's Seventh Hill with ARIT one Sunday while Sankar was out of town. Fascinated by all that I saw, my dismay at spending a weekend alone had vanished. That was the first time Turkey had dazzled me out of my mundane problems, but it wouldn't be the last.
Sankar and I both attended the next ARIT event, "Ottoman Tombstones," standing in drizzle high above the Bosphorus looking at graves dating back a hundred and fifty years. We learned that Turkish graves employ both head and foot stones, and that the Ottomans sculpted turbans on male tombs and floral reliefs on those of women.
Another ARIT trip took us to what would later become the Istanbul Naval Museum. There we gazed at an eye-popping assortment of "caiques," narrow, decorative wooden boats that Turkey's sultans used for Bosphorus excursions and ceremonies. Their slender prows intricately carved, these fairy-tale crafts were up to forty meters long, but only two meters wide. As many as two dozen rowers powered the boats while the sultan and his retinue lounged in cabins of ivory, tortoiseshell, and mother of pearl.
I had long been skeptical of group tours, thinking them either for the timid or for those who couldn't be bothered to do their own planning. But ARIT was introducing us to parts of Turkey we'd never heard of. And in some cases, it was giving us access to places like the Naval Museum, which wouldn't open to the public for several years. Another reason we enjoyed touring with a group was that, after over a year in Turkey, our social life was still rudimentary.
Sankar and I had gone out to dinner a few times with my friend, Annika, and her husband, whom we both liked. But the evenings were always a bit negative, as they were not enjoying life in Turkey.
Felicia and I saw each other every month when we rode the bus to our book group. But her husband, Andy, an English teacher at Robert College, had an array of smart, interesting colleagues, and they were often busy with that group.
Another potential friend was Mia Preston. A friendly Texan about my age, she had moved to Turkey from Dubai with her partner, David, an oilman. David was always traveling to Iraq and other hot spots, and had lots of insights (presciently in 2011: "Yemen is coming apart at the seams."). We'd had dinner together several times, but they maintained an apartment in Dubai and were often away.
Named Edessa by Alexander the Great, Şanliurfa has been a part of recorded history since the 4th century BCE. The city was known as Ur of the Chaldees and then Urfa. To honor its resistance to the French after Turkey's 1920s War of Independence, Urfa was allowed to attach şanli, meaning glorious, to its name. Despite the military prefix, the town's history is actually peaceful. In addition to Abraham, the prophet Job is also believed to have been born in Şanliurfa.
We boarded a small tour bus, taking a seat in front so we'd be sure to catch everything our guide had to say. As we set out, she introduced herself: Çiğdem (the word means crocus) Maner, a pretty German-trained doctor of archaeology.
Through the bus windows, we peered at the vast, open landscape of southeastern Turkey: dry grassland interspersed with barren patches of soil. Brown mountains reclined in the distance. The ground was pale, but where crop remnants had been burned, it was the color of chocolate.
Çiğdem explained that we were on the land between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers. She told us that in Greek, the word "between" is meso, and the word for "rivers" is potamia. Thus our location: Mesopotamia.
Mesopotamia. Cradle of civilization. The word held mystery and romance in its very syllables: Me so po TAY mia! A place of DRA ma!
Çiğdem commented on the barrenness around us, telling us that the ancient Romans and another group, the Commagenes (the name means "cluster of race or offspring" in Greek) had cut down Mesopotamian forests for charcoal and timber, and had overgrazed their flocks. The result had been severe erosion that, she told us, extended south and east into Syria and Iraq. When rivers silted up with eroded soil, floods became more likely. According to Alan Grainger of Leeds University, a human-caused flood occurred in Ur in about 2500 B.C. Eroded soil, or silt, also caused rivers to become higher than the land around them. Water then overflowed onto fields and when it evaporated, it left mineral salts in poisonous concentrations. This was recorded on Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets.
Grainger writes, "It is no coincidence that many ruins of great temples and palaces are today found amid sandy wastelands. And as I looked at the terrain, I recalled the words of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who believes that environmental distress and degradation are the cause of many world conflicts.
The eye searches for exceptions. I noticed that whenever there was a small farm or a tiny pool of water, the land was a bright, luxuriant green. Otherwise, the tan of the grasses washed to butter yellow in the sun and, in rare patches of shade, darkened to orange-brown. Scrubby brown vegetation covered the mountains, rubbed away in places to reveal white rock. I had to look twice to convince myself it wasn't snow.
From time to time, spindly, brittle-looking trees came into view, planted in diagonal rows. Their trunks seemed barely able to support their crowns, and the ground between them was a bright coppery brown. These were pistachio trees. I wondered how they got the water they surely needed. We passed fields of low green plants covered with white tufts: cotton, and olive groves were also roadside companions. A flock of shaggy black and brown goats trotted across the highway, kicking up dust and urged on by an elderly keeper wielding a stick.
And then like a mirage, a bright blue, startlingly translucent body of water. It looked like a medium-size lake, but its far edge extended into a valley and then disappeared. It was the Euphrates, river of life, site of Eden. This river begins, Cigdem explained, in the mountains of southeastern Turkey and makes its way through Syria and Iraq before emptying into the Persian Gulf. We stopped talking and stared.
The contrast between liquid and near desert was stark. It was difficult to imagine this land as it had been two millennia ago, shady and fragrant, lush and damp.
Back in the bus a few minutes later, we pulled off the road at a sign that proclaimed, "Neşet'in Yeri [Neşet's Place] A Restaurant by Lake." The proprietor and his family greeted us and we sat down at tables along the water's edge. Then they began bringing out plates of food on enormous metal trays: charcoal-grilled chicken and lamb surrounded by curly-leafed lettuce, parsley, and tomato slices. Plates of flat bread. And sliced onions roasted in shallow clay pots, their tops blackened from the fire.
Now we had a chance to talk with our tourmates. John Chandler, headmaster of Robert College, and his wife Tania. Elaine and Peter Graham, South African-British retirees, both carrying impressive cameras. Hugh Pope, a handsome, young-looking writer—later I'd discover he'd published several histories of Turkey—along with his wife and three young daughters. Laura Sizemore, a congenial thirty-something New York lawyer who visited Istanbul on business every month. How, I wondered, had she found her way to ARIT? Laura had been sitting behind us on the bus, reading the previous Sunday's New York Times and kindly passing sections up to us. Alison Stendahl, a sixty-something blond from Edina, Minnesota, who had lived in Istanbul for over a quarter century. Neil Korostoff, a professor of landscape architecture from Penn State, who had just arrived on a Fulbright scholarship. Linda Caldwell, a vivacious embassy retiree who spoke fluent Turkish. Linda had already recommended two books on Turkey.
Busy now with jobs, Sankar and I had passed the stage of guilt and resentment that plagues new expatriates. But sometimes Sankar's enthusiasm overflowed into hyperbole. When he was asked what he did and proclaimed, "I have all of the Middle East and Central East Europe, as well as South Africa," I cringed, fearing his boasts would put off potential friends.
Now, as we sat and ate, Sankar was busy talking with people on his left side. To my right, Peter was holding forth in his British accent, and Neil was joining in, his responses academic. I half-listened, taking in the dazzling river and the simple, splendid food.
Finished with lunch we headed for Mount Nemrut to see statuary and graves built by the Commagenes. The name Nemrut refers to King Nimrod, grandson of Noah, a proud, vengeful man mentioned in the holy books of all three monotheistic religions, whose rule dated back to about 2,100 BCE. In about 883 BCE, the Commagenes appeared from the east, fighting off the Persians and Alexander the Great. Finally, in 109 BCE, they became independent under King Mithridates, ruling an area the size of Switzerland.
Mithridates' son, king Antiochus I, ruled for 33 years and traced his ancestry to both Alexander the Great and the Persian Seleucids. To commemorate this, he chose Nemrut, the highest mountain in the area, and built a mountaintop terrace, leaving space for his own grave near its peak. Then, on three sides of the mountain, he erected enormous, seated throne-like statues weighing up to nine tons each, out of limestone. One side depicted his Greek heritage, another his Persian ancestry, and a third is indeterminate. He also added animals—lion and eagle statuary—and inscriptions.
The bus took us halfway up the mountain, and then we set out walking on a gravel path. The air was dry and comfortably cool as we headed toward the Eastern terrace, made of shale. There are six heads on this terrace, including Apollo Mithras; Zeus Oromasdes; Antiochus I himself; Heracles-Ares, and two others, assumed to be lesser Greek gods. Each head is about eight feet tall and rests right-side-up amidst rubble. The carving is both simple and skillful, the faces attractive and strong-featured. Atop most heads are conical hats, some of which have lost their points, and the men have curly beards. Our guidebook referred to these huge stone heads as "Turkey's answer to Easter Island," but the simple, clean lines reminded me of Scandinavian sculpture.
I wondered what Antiochus had put his people through to build these statues. What kind of arrogance drove him to order their construction? But thanks to him, two millennia later, evidence of his plucky tribe was still here for all to see. I couldn't help but admire that.
After viewing the sculpted heads, we climbed up to view the row of six bodies they had originally belonged to. There they sat, frozen obediently in place near the barren summit, their heads, cowed and tumbled, below. An ironic result of the passage of time—or perhaps the work of iconoclasts.
As we wandered the ruins, the sun began to set, breaking up in pinkish-yellow rays that bathed the statuary. The air began to take on a chill and both the sky and the creases of the nearby mountains turned a deep, almost navy blue. The ground itself became the color of cocoa.
Another day on the mountain, just like thousands before it. We stood in the sunset for some moments, surveying Mesopotamia, and the Euphrates, a shining ribbon in the east. The lengthening shadows and chill were bringing our time on the mountain to an end, and I felt a pang of regret for the larger passage of time. How I wished I were twenty years younger so that I could develop some mastery in this part of the world. Or that I had another lifetime that I could devote to studying Turkey and Turkish, and figuring out all that had happened on this land. Was some of Antiochus' lust for immortality in the mountain air?
The sun finally dipped below the horizon and we walked down the chocolate hill toward the warm, waiting bus.
The next morning in the hotel, we sat with John and Tanya Chandler for a Turkish breakfast of tomato slices, bread, and honey. John, a regal, silver-haired man, had led Robert College for seven years, and before that had directed highly-regarded Koç high school. In only a few months, he would retire and leave Turkey to set up house on the coast of Maine. As we talked, Tanya grimaced in anticipation of the transition ahead, but I guessed the move—particularly the shedding of professional identity—would be harder on John.
After breakfast we drove to Göbekli Tepe, an archaeological site dating from the Neolithic Era (10,000 – 2,000 BCE). Göbek means belly in Turkish, and tepe means hill. Göbekli Tepe was discovered by German archaeologist, Klaus Schmidt, in 1994, when he noticed a hill with a bulge in it. I guessed that the bulge might have been more noticeable because of deforestation, but how, I wondered, does a foreigner go from noticing an unusual shape to getting the permits and workers to start taking it apart?
Over the years, archaeologists had removed layers of debris from Göbekli Tepe, revealing twenty circular arrangements of T-shaped stone pillars. Carved of limestone, each pillar weighed about ten tons, and many featured reliefs of dangerous animals: lions, foxes, snakes, scorpions and vultures.
Göbekli Tepe pre-dates Stonehenge and the invention of writing by about six thousand years. It contains no evidence of human occupation—no dwellings or cooking debris. Schmidt and later archaeologists surmised that Göbekli Tepe was a kind of Stone-Age place of worship: a holy place or "cathedral on a hill." If so, this would make it the world's oldest known religious sanctuary.
Çiğdem told us that, prior to uncovering Göbekli Tepe, archaeologists believed that humans constructed religious sites only after they had settled down into farming communities. They believed that mere hunter-gatherers neither had the time nor the skills to produce monumental complexes. Göbekli Tepe changed that. Now archaeologists believe that efforts to build holy monoliths—organizing and dividing labor, and obtaining resources for spiritual purposes—pre-dated and laid the groundwork for the development of more complex societies.
Wooden boardwalks surrounded the site, and ladders allowed workmen to move between the levels. Schmidt having retired, the site leader was now a handsome young German with wild curly hair, wearing a leather vest and leggings. He stopped and explained to Çiğdem in German what was currently going on. We stood in the midday sun as she translated for us, trying to imagine the sanctuary full of Neolithic worshippers. Alas, it was easier to imagine the dashing scientist engaged in Indiana Jones-type exploits.
Then we headed back to Şanliurfa, where we'd started out. ARIT tours often involved visits to provincial archaeology museums, and we now paid our respects at the small Sanliurfa Archeology and Mosaic Museum, standing politely and listening to a stiff speech by the museum director before wandering through rooms of artifacts. After that we were given some free time.
Glad to be on our own, Sankar and I headed toward the El Ruha hotel, a lovely former palace and Old City landmark that we'd noticed on our previous visit. The complex comprised a series of golden tan stone buildings with flat rooftops and arched windows, portions of upper stories cantilevering out above the ones below. We noticed Alison sitting on an outdoor terrace with a cup of coffee, and joined her.
Allison had come to Istanbul in the 1980s to teach, and now worked as a dean at the Üsküdar School for Girls. Sankar and I were happy to sit down with her; we loved talking to experienced expats and sharing our own impressions. Now we quickly found ourselves talking about Turkish pride, a topic that had been bothering us. The issue was that in social situations with Turks, Sankar and I often hung our heads over our own country's mistakes, but never witnessed any corresponding Turkish humility. Instead we always felt compelled to issue streams of compliments about the Republic. It was as if we needed to provide loyal reassurances as evidence of our friendship.
"Why can't Turks be more balanced about their history?" I asked Allison. "Why can't they talk about good and bad things in their past?" The Turks we knew considered themselves liberal and detested the Ottoman period, but refused to acknowledge what had happened to the Armenians under those same Ottomans.
True: the Turkish Republic was only seventy five years old, less than a third of my republic's lifespan. Ataturk's struggle against four nations out to divide Turkey was still in living memory. It was a good answer.
Leaving Alison, Sankar and I walked through the dusty streets to the same covered bazaar we had visited with Gökhan and Burcu a year before. The market was maze-like, its only illumination seeming to come from the brightly colored and often sequined fabrics for sale. After a number of twists and turns, we reached a brighter central courtyard and sat down among locals, mostly men. Most were wearing Arab-style head coverings and traditional baggy pants rarely seen in Istanbul. Crowded and noisy, the atmosphere was evocative of the Arabian Nights, but we had been here before and knew that, even as odd-looking tourists—or perhaps because we were odd-looking tourists—we were safe.
Saying no to several waiters offering tea, after a few minutes we got up and headed back toward El Ruha. The sidewalks were choked with street vendors, and one young man was standing at a wooden cart piled high with what looked like small pink almonds. His sign read "Fistik," and we realized we were looking at freshly-picked pistachios, the pink a rubbery membrane over hard shells. Here was the rose-colored harvest of those dry, spindly-looking trees. Entranced by their appearance we bought a bag.
We sat down with our purchase alongside Şanliurfa's biggest attraction, the Sacred Pool of Abraham. Abraham is the most important Old Testament figure for Muslims, who revere his unwavering faith and the obedience that led him to agree to sacrifice his son to God. The commemorative pool, built in the 1500s and about twice the size of an Olympic swimming pool, is surrounded by graceful arched columns topped with decorative crenellations, and full of koi fish that are considered sacred.
On the bus, Çiğdem had told us the pool's legend. It had started as a spring of water that arose to protect Abraham when King Nimrod threw him into a fire. The spring's fishy denizens had held Abraham up, saving him from being burned.
Rows of men squatted beside the pool's edge, their arms stretched over their knees. Local families strolled along the water's edge munching on snacks in small paper bags. When someone tossed a sesame roll into the water, it writhed and boiled with hungry fish. The afternoon sun gilded the arches and shimmered off the water, a scene of golden peacefulness.
A Turkish gentleman of perhaps fifty-five was sitting near us with his family, and he turned to us, stuck out his hand, and introduced himself in Turkish as Aram. He had a strong, handsome face, receding gray hair, and a thin moustache. He asked where we were from. Turks often thought Sankar might be Turkish, but my presence confused them.
On his other side sat the female members of his family, an older woman, perhaps his mother or his wife's mother; a younger woman—maybe his wife, though she looked twenty years younger; and a little girl who looked to be about five. Although they hadn't been consulted (were they now thinking, oh my god, what will we feed these people?) they beamed at us.
Though Turks are indeed friendly, the invitation was reminiscent of the more extravagant hospitality I'd experienced in Yemen. I recalled being told that in Turkey hospitality increased as one moved east—into more religiously conservative territory. What would Aram's house look like? What kind of dishes would we be served? But alas, we couldn't linger; our bus was leaving within the hour.
After declining as politely as we could, we asked if we could take a picture of the family. Aram agreed, and his wife pulled out a cell phone to take ours as well. "Gel, gel,"—"come"—he called to his little daughter to get her to stand still, and we repeated, "gel, gel," imprinting that important word in our minds. Then we said goodbye.
Back at the Sanliurfa airport, my thoughts lingered on the land called Mesopotamia. The sites we visited–Gobekli Tepe, Nemrut Dagi, the Abraham pool–had been majestic, but temporal; all could be dated to particular eras. What had instead seemed timeless was Mesopotamian patriarchy. Men had always called the shots in this part of the world. Men were responsible for the aching grandeur of Mesopotamia. But they were also responsible for its destruction.

SUBTLE BODIES
Azadeh Elmizadeh
October 16th - November 14th, 2020
In the suite of nine paintings that comprise Azadeh Elmizadeh's debut solo exhibition, Subtle Bodies, translucent veils of colour forego the rules of perspective to suggest form through colour's own depth and vitality. Compositionally and processually in conversation with Persian miniature paintings, Elmizadeh's durational process of layering and sanding into pigment discloses the history of the painting itself, thus rendering the frame both a site of spatial and aesthetic experimentation and historical excavation. Through such a frame, the paintings are a palimpsest in which a private, ancient scene exists within and through a painterly evocation of the tactility of bright fabrics, blown glass, and ceramics.
Indeed, it is Elmizadeh's engagement with the metaphysical possibilities of the medium as informed by twelfth-century Sufi cosmologies and their attendant mythologies that give the works their shapeshifting, ludic quality. Subtle Bodies provision the aesthetic experience itself; works like Canopy, or Diving Messenger, enact what philosopher Gianni Vatimo describes as "the breaches or openings through which something that is not a being or irreducible to a being comes forth". At their best, says Elmizadeh, these works resist gravity by mirroring the weightless, flickering image of the imagination.
Subtle Bodies is an exciting exploration of the deliberate and the aleatory, of the tension and play between painterly vision and the demands and unpredictability of the canvas. Perhaps what underpins these images most of all is their expression of a historically and culturally situated ontological indeterminacy, one that importantly refuses the abstracted self-referentiality of Western contemporary painting styles. Instead, Subtle Bodies offers up a pensive reflection on the liminality of existence, occasioned here by cross-cultural displacements, and thus generously expands the sorely limited discursive and aesthetic frames through which we make meaning in the world.

Work & Productivity
BC teachers report deteriorated mental health during pandemic
By Elaine Yong
In between his woodwork and metalwork classes, it took Qualicum Beach high school teacher Rob Gibbs more than 40 minutes to clean every piece of equipment and surface his students touched. That's several classes a day, multiplied by every school day this past year. On top of that, with only a half hour for lunch, the 34-year veteran teacher ended up spending his 'break' sanitizing. "It has been a difficult year with many uncertainties and changes creating challenges along the way. This amounted to a 50 per cent increase in workload over that of a typical year."
For elementary school counsellor Sarah Bourdon, walking into a building of 500 people each day when everyone was being told to stay at home was extremely stressful. "I found it very difficult to balance the normal challenges of my job and home life as a parent of young children with the overwhelming fear that I, or a member of my family, would get sick. I know that this anxiety impacted my wellness."
Gibbs and Bourdon are clearly not alone. According to a new study conducted by a team of researchers from the UBC Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS), in partnership with the BC Ministry of Education and the BC Teachers' Federation, two-thirds of teachers surveyed reported a greater workload than before the pandemic. On top of that, four out of five teachers reported worse mental health this school year. (Infographic available HERE.)
Dr. Anne Gadermann
Co-led by Dr. Anne Gadermann, CHÉOS Scientist and Assistant Professor at HELP, School of Population and Public Health (SPPH), and Dr. Eva Oberle, Assistant Professor, HELP and SPPH, the goal of the study was to learn more about how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted teachers.
Study's goal to understand how BC teachers are doing during the COVID-19 pandemic
"Key decision-makers and stakeholders in the education system have been tasked, and will continue to be tasked, with supporting the well-being of teachers and students through the pandemic and beyond," explains Dr. Gadermann. "What we have attempted to do with this research is provide a sense of where teachers are at in terms of their mental health and well-being, and what supports are likely to be effective in responding to their needs."
More than 1,200 teachers across BC responded to the survey in February 2021. On average, respondents reported just over 15 years of teaching experience, with about half of them elementary school teachers and a quarter of them secondary school teachers.
Around the world, COVID-19 has led to school closures in 165 countries, impacting approximately 63 million teachers and hundreds of millions of children. In BC, schools were closed for in-classroom learning for three months at the end of the last school year. But unlike many other jurisdictions, the doors remained open this entire school year in BC. And that came with a whole new set of challenges as teachers worked to navigate changing public health guidelines.
One public health guideline in classrooms was to maintain physical distancing where possible. Courtesy Surrey Schools.
Gibbs points out reduced in-classroom time was one of his biggest issues. "All the junior classes had half the amount of usual time and this required new and special preparations for each class, along with new projects and planning."
"The trends that we identified for teachers were clear," emphasizes Dr. Oberle. "The BC teachers who responded to the survey generally reported deteriorated mental health 11 months into the pandemic. They also tended to report fewer opportunities to connect with students, parents, and colleagues, and unmet needs for students."
"It has been a challenging year for teachers," adds Dr. Gadermann. "Two out of five teachers reported being now more likely to seek to leave the profession than before the pandemic."
Understanding potential supports for teachers
The study team also looked into how support within schools and communities, from the union and from the Ministry of Education impacted teachers' well-being. Dr. Monique Gagné, Research Associate at HELP and CHÉOS, remarked, "We found that more avenues of support were associated with higher well-being. For example, teachers who reported feeling more supported were more likely to report better mental health."
"We can think of these supports as protective for teachers and an important area to focus on as we look forward," elaborates Dr. Kimberly Thomson, Postdoctoral Researcher at HELP and CHÉOS. "Focusing on teacher support could be a critical first step for school boards and the Ministry of Education as they work to improve teacher well-being in the long-term."
Sarah Bourdon is hopeful September will bring calm and consistency to schools. She wants to go back to feeling safe at work. But even through the stress and anxiety of this unprecedented pandemic school year, the Victoria teacher has found one big positive. "The resilience of the kids was so inspiring. They really rolled with the constant changes and disappointments of this year. I am inspired by their ability to adapt and learn, in spite of uncertainty."

US Wrestles With the Issue of Asylum
Aline Barros
Three families, who said they were from Burundi, head to Canada to seek asylum, Aug. 3, 2017, Thousands of immigrants, awaiting the outcome of their US asylum application but fearing deportation under President Donald Trump, made the journey to Canada.
When people come to the U.S. seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or are afraid they will suffer persecution, they are permitted to file for asylum regardless of their immigration status.
U.S. law offers asylum to those people facing persecution in their home countries on the basis of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular group.
WATCH: What is Asylum and How Does it Work in the US?
What is Asylum and How Does it Work in the US?
There are two kinds of asylum: affirmative and defensive. An immigrant may claim affirmative asylum within one year of their last arrival in the United States. An immigrant may request defensive asylum while fighting an order of deportation.
During the years 2013-2015, an average of about 25,000 people received asylum each year. Almost twice as many affirmative applicants were approved as defensive applicants.
Applicants must be physically present in the U.S. to apply for asylum.
Current policy is to detain asylum-seekers, often when they arrive at a port of entry. Waiting while their cases go through the courts can mean spending months in a detention center.
Rosa Santana, a detainee visitation coordinator at First Friends, an immigrant advocate group in New Jersey, says there is a misconception about those coming to the border. "When you think about people coming to the border, you think about Central Americans and Mexicans, but you have no idea how many Africans are making the journey from Africa to South America, Central America, to here."
"We are closing the doors on so many people, and the first thing that they get when they come here to the U.S. is like 'OK, we're going to lock you up,'" said Rosa Santana, a detainee visitation coordinator at First Friends immigrant advocacy group. "We don't know what these people have been through, their traumas. Putting them in detention is another trauma for them."
First Friends is a local nonprofit in Jersey City, New Jersey, and its visitation groups visit immigrant detainees at the Elizabeth Detention Center, Hudson County Correctional Center, Bergen County Jail and Essex County Correctional Center-Delaney Hall.
Credible fear
Asylum-seekers must apply within one year from the date of last arrival or show proof of an "exceptional" change based on extraordinary circumstances. Above all, they must prove to the asylum officer or to an immigration court judge that they have a "credible fear" of returning to their home country.
To Judy Pepenella, community organizer at the Conservative Society for Action in New York, asylum is a "touchy" subject.
Judy Pepenella, community organizer at the Conservative Society for Action, said asylum process is a "touchy" subject. She doesn't believe in jailing asylum seekers, but she agrees each case must be looked at on its merit.
"I have a problem, personally, and it has to be honesty. You know, just because you have to get out and you don't have the ability to become a citizen and you don't want go back, it has to truly be an issue," Pepenella told VOA.
Pepenella, a Republican and conservative, said though she doesn't believe in jailing asylum-seekers, each case must be looked at on its merit.
"When they come here, are they gonna become citizens, or are they going to stay on an immigrant or not American basis? If you come, become a citizen, become part of the process, become part of what makes America great," Pepenella added.

Asylum in the US: The Pros and Cons
Future of asylum
The White House wants to tighten standards in the U.S. asylum system.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has claimed the current asylum system is "subject to rampant abuse and fraud" and he called for tighter rules for people seeking asylum in the United States.
Sessions said current policies allow applicants to take advantage of a "broken" court system that is backlogged by about 600,000 cases nationwide, although not all are asylum cases.
Figures from the months of July, August and September of 2016 and 2017, while hardly conclusive, indicate that asylum cases were being adjudicated at a faster rate since Trump took office in 2017 than the previous year — and that the percentages of approval, at least for affirmative cases, have fallen off slightly.
July 2016: 1,957 cases adjudicated; 996 affirmative approvals
August 2016: 2,262 cases adjudicated; 884 affirmative approvals
September 2016: 2,232 cases adjudicated, 967 affirmative approvals
July 2017: 3,934 cases adjudicated; 1,252 affirmative approvals
August 2017: 5,336 cases adjudicated; 1,543 affirmative approvals
September 2017: 4,255 cases adjudicated; 1,513 affirmative approvals
Pepenella struggles with asylum.
"I'm not saying everyone is lying, please make sure you understand that, there are nations that people need help to get out of," she said.
But Santana sees it in stark, human terms.
"We know that they are not lying. We can hear the desperation, you know, when we talk to them," she said. "Every day we have tears in our eyes from the stories that we hear. Because we know that people are really risking their lives to come here."

Garret's Drawing A Day Blog
The purpose of this blog was to force me to do a drawing a day. However, it is other artist's drawings I seem to display.
Carl Rungius
Sketch for Silvertip, graphite on paper, 8 x 11 inches
( 1869–1959 )
bidsquare.com
Despite being one of the most famous painters of North American wildlife, Carl Rungius was born in Rixdorf near Berlin, Germany, in 1869. Rungius developed an early interest in studying and hunting wild animals, due in large part to the influence of his father and grandfather, both amateur naturalists and taxidermists. At a young age Rungius also showed a talent for drawing, and pursued his formal artistic training in Berlin at the Berlin Art School, the Academy of Fine Arts, and the School of Applied Arts. Following his education, Rungius began his career as a romantic painter in Germany.
As fortune would have it, in 1894 Rungius's uncle invited him to travel to Maine for a hunting trip. It was then that Rungius's passion for hunting big game and painting truly came together, as he found his inspiration for both in the wildlife of North America. Enchanted, Rungius spent a summer hunting in Wyoming before moving permanently to New York in 1897.
Rungius's studio in New York allowed him easy access to the art scene of New York City as well as the wilderness of the Northeast and the Canadian Rockies. In 1904 Rungius traveled the Yukon with Charles Sheldon, and in 1910 he traveled to Banff, Alberta for the first time. In Banff Rungius found the ideal location for painting and hunting, particularly with the prevalence of the bighorn sheep in the region. Rungius built a studio there in 1921, nicknamed 'The Paintbox,' and visited annually until his death in 1959.

Carlo Ferrario
metmuseum
A Natural Stone Arch Beside the Sea, Pencil on paper, 8 1/2 x 12 1/4 inches,
inscribed on mat in type print, at upper center, "Ballo Elinor"
Italian (1833–1907)
These sheest belongs to a group of twenty-seven drawings by the artist that were part of a now dismembered album.
Carlo Ferrario worked as a set designer, an assistant at the Teatro alla Scala in 1859, taking the place of Filippo Peroni as director for scenography in 1867. In that capacity he designed the 1869 revival of LA forza del destino. By 1871 his relations with La Scala had disintegrated. In a letter to Verdi of 23 May 1871, Ricordi informs the composter that "the management has determined to change the scenic designer, replacing Ferrario with some better artist." But Ferrario was again on the scene in 1886-88, preparing the sets must have liked the Forza sets greatly, for he apparently wrote congratulating Ferrario, a letter the designer wanted to produce but could not find, in 1886 when he was competing for an for Verdi's Otello. Hioss designs are printed in Bignami, Cinquecento bozzetti di scenografia di Carlo Ferrario. Several drawings for the 1869 Forza can be found in "Sorgete! Ombre serene!" 63-65.

It's cheap. I don't care. It's good. And I'm drunk.
I shot trap tonight, and I just shot my best score ever. And, it was against the best team in the league, and it gave us the win.
So, I'm eating a Totinos, I'm loving it, and I don't care what you think about it.

Turn on me, not players - Ian Baraclough
By Richard Wilson
From the section Motherwell
Ian Baraclough says that he would rather Motherwell fans vented their frustrations at him than the players.
The away fans made their discontent clear at the end of Saturday's 1-0 defeat at local rivals Hamilton.
Baraclough insists that the team just needs to be more ruthless in the final third, but wants to protect his players from any supporter criticism.
"I'd rather they turn on me and take their frustrations out on me rather than the team," said Baraclough.
"The team is there to be backed."
Motherwell had to defeat Rangers in the Premiership play-off last season to remain in the top-flight. That experience is still fresh in the minds of supporters, who are fearful of another campaign fighting relegation.
Motherwell have won only two league games this season, suffering five defeats, but Baraclough is adamant that the team is just taking time to gel and that the summer signings will eventually make the team better.
"Last season, it was too close for comfort," he said.
"Last season was about getting over the line; this season was about adding new recruits to the group and we're still in the early stages of them coming together.
"We'd love to be talking about a top four side, but some teams take longer to get it right.
Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough says it will take time for Motherwell to gel
"It's a testing period and we have to be patient, some of these young players are just starting their careers and they need time. The pressure can get onto the backs of some of these young players so better that it's on me.
"I've had to pick myself up and the coaching staff [after the Hamilton defeat], then we move on to the players. I review the game on the Saturday night, I don't just put it straight to bed.
"We know there wasn't much in the game and we know we have to start turning them our way. Had we taken the chances we created, we'd have given ourselves a different scenario.
"It's not as if we're a team devoid of chances. We've hit the target on a good few occasions.
"We're getting in the right areas but we've got to be clinical and ruthless. The players have to do what comes naturally to them and not snatch at chances. We've got players who have scored throughout their careers."
Motherwell have an opportunity to put the Hamilton defeat behind them when they travel to face Morton in the Scottish League Cup on Tuesday night.
The expectation is that the Championship team could deliver a cup shock, but Keith Lasley believes that the Motherwell players are ready to prove the doubters wrong.
He also says that the memories of last season's relegation fight will drive the team on to ensure that they don't suffer a similar fate.
"There's no point feeling sorry for ourselves," he says. "Hopefully we can put on a good performance [against Morton] which hopefully gets a result and kickstarts our league form.
"There were a few upsets in the last round. I expect there will be a couple in this round but that's natural in cup football.
Keith Lasley recently celebrated his testimonial with Motherwell
"Morton have got off to a good start in the Championship and is there much difference to some of the football played in the Premiership? Probably not.
"It's natural for people to see it as a possible shock but we've got to be confident that we can get a result.
"In the last round, East Fife were up for it and we expect it to be the same. We don't fear that. It's up to us to enjoy the challenge and be ready for it, and we hope our good players can take ownership of the game and create as we know we can.
"These are great games to play in. They bring a pressure, but I relish the challenge. People will be thinking there's a potential banana skin, so let's show those doubters wrong. I can't wait for the game to come round.
"We spoke in pre-season about getting off to a good start and it's no coincidence that the four or five seasons of success we had we built points early in the campaign.
"We don't want to get into that situation. We know it's early but also that there's a need to get points. We were here last year and it none of us want to go through that again. That will be driving us on to get up the table."

We are not going to simply vote on an airplane. We will make a fundamental decision: Should we voluntarily give up the ability to ensure our security? This security is not only the foundation of our well-being, but also a decisive factor in the attractiveness of a site.
Without new combat aircraft, we will have to intensify the use of our fleet of F/A-18 fighters. The life cycle of these aircraft will be shortened by several years. Without the Gripen, our Air Force would be grounded from about 2025, which would of course also affect the image that Switzerland enjoys as a country. Such a situation would have incalculable consequences. Without an Air Force, we would not be able to ensure the security of international meetings and peace conferences in our country. It would be the same for major international sporting events. And I have not even mentioned the United Nations. Would this mean less security for their headquarters in Geneva?
In addition, the signal that we would send out as a business location would be devastating. In a world characterized by competition and globalization, a secure site, in an independent and politically stable state, is a decisive advantage for many companies. However, Switzerland must have armed forces with modern equipment in order to ensure its security and independence. If we continue to weaken the army, our competitors around the world, who do not spare their efforts to attract them as companies, can only rejoice.
Do we want the success of the Swiss economy to continue? Do we want to remain, in future, hosts to international conferences? If so, we need a credible military. If we voluntarily renounce such an army, we would shoot ourselves in the foot and would deal a direct blow to the heart of Switzerland.
It says a lot about the Swiss population's love-hate relationship with all things military that the defense minister feels obliged to appeal to his countrymen's interest in hosting international conferences, and Switzerland's attractiveness for foreign investment, as the main reasons for voting in favor of the acquisition of new fighters.
Maurer obviously feels that military and strategic arguments are not enough, even though all Swiss males are called up for military service, keep weapons at home, and remain in the military reserves well into their 40s.

While many hipster cafes have popped up over the past few years, music stores unfortunately having been closing down as the autotune generation take over.

Economic sentiment in CEE falls in November as recovery momentum splutters
Capital Economic's GDP-weighted measure for Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) fell sharply from 83.2 in October to 76.7 in November, though it remained comfortably above its trough of 58.8 in April.
By bne IntelliNews November 30, 2020
Capital Economics' economic sentiment indicator took a step down in November after a broad-based recovery since April across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the consultant said in a note on November 27.
Capital Economics says it now expects the recovery that has been driven by the easing of restrictions at the end of the summer to falter in the middle of this quarter.
"The headline ESIs fell in all of the ten economies that we cover. The biggest fall came in Poland (see Table 1) and the indicator also declined sharply in the Czech Republic, which is likely to reflect the tough lockdown measures imposed there. The Baltic States and Bulgaria escaped with only modest falls," Bethany Beckett, an economist with Capital Economists, said in a note. "Our GDP-weighted measure for Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) fell sharply from 83.2 in October to 76.7 in November, though it remained comfortably above its trough of 58.8 in April. On past form, the ESI suggests that the recovery in regional GDP went into reverse in Q4."
The results of the ESI tally with those from the IHS Markit PMI index that showed services in particular in the region were slowing as the winter draws in.
"At first glance, the size of the falls appears to reflect the relative stringency of the virus containment measures imposed, with Slovakia, Poland and the Czech Republic suffering the sharpest declines in services sentiment. But it is noteworthy that sentiment also slumped by a similar extent in those countries that have so far avoided harsh restrictions on services sectors, including Romania and Hungary," said Beckett.
The changes in the manufacturing ESI were more mixed, with the index improving in Slovakia and Estonia but deteriorating in Hungary, Czechia and Poland. In general, services have been more hurt than industry, according to Capital Economics.
The survey was concluded on November 20 and doesn't capture the latest round of restriction easing, which means the index results could be improved next month, says Capital Economics.
Romania's construction work index increased by 7.8% y/y in November, a robust growth yet slower than in previous months of the year.
Support for EU accession has increase significantly compared to 2019 when about 66% of citizens were in favour shows survey commissioned by EU delegation to Montenegro.
Confidence remains low compared to 2019, but current volume of production orders and expectations for coming months are more favourable than in November.
Romania's industrial recovery paused in November
Romania's industrial production index edged down by 0.6% m/m in November after six months of recovery.
Strongest drop in demand was in the service sector, but partly offset by higher demand for occupations related to the pandemic and post-earthquake reconstruction.

These luxurious 3 bedroom 2 bathroom villas are located on the prestigious Roda Golf Course in the region of Murcia. The course itself was designed by Dave Thomas, the world famous golf designer, and is considered one of the best courses in the area.
These villas are designed with very clean lines and make the most of the abundant natural light available on the Costa Blanca. The ground floor boasts two large French doors which let the sunlight spill on to the spacious kitchen and living area. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with its own set of double doors leading to the patio area which overlooks the villa's own private pool (included in the price!). On the same level, there is also a guest bathroom and a good sized separate utility room which is perfect to use as a laundry room and for extra storage.
On the first floor, the master bedroom features a large dressing room or walk in wardrobe which, with its own window, is a bright and useful space. Also on the first floor is the third double bedroom which, along with the downstairs bedroom, has double built in wardrobes. The main bathroom and shower are also located on the first floor. Off the master bedroom are double doors leading out on to a large private terrace – with modern glass surround – which is perfect for soaking up the sun or having breakfast 'al fresco' all year round.
As this property makes the most of the Spanish sunshine – there is even a large window on the stairwell to allow even more light into the villa – it comes complete with electric blinds which are perfect for blocking out the light during 'siesta' time as well as for security. Underfloor heating is included in all the bathrooms and the bathroom furniture (sink, toilet, etc) are top of the range suspended design. As well as being on the Roda Golf resort, both the La Serena and the Mar Menor Intercontinental Golf resorts are only 10 minutes away.

Q: Incoherent handling of coordinates in basemap addcyclic I have used all mpl_toolkits.basemap functions successfully on several global GCM netcdf datasets. Until I met this grid, with longitudes starting at 0.9375 (instead of 0 as I have always seen) and ending at 359.062.
To prepare a plot, I need to:

*

*make the plot continuous with:
# input_var is a 2D numpy array
var_cyclicDUMMY, lons_cyclicDUMMY = addcyclic(input_var, lons)

I thus obtain a 2D array var_cyclicDUMMYwith an extra column (one extra longitude), and a 1D array lons_cyclicDUMMY with one extra element at the end, i.e. one extra longitude, but at 0.9375, instead of the 360 that is needed.
Indeed in the next step, where I

*shift the grid, so longitudes go from -180 to 180 instead of 0 to 360, with:
var_cyclic, lons_cyclic = shiftgrid(180., var_cyclicDUMMY,
                                    lons_cyclicDUMMY, start=False)

I get an ValueError: lon0 outside of range of lonsin
Any suggestions how to get around this with basemap or another solution?

Broadcasters are one step closer to being able to use on-channel FM digital boosters to expand their coverage area.
iBiquity Digital Corp. and NAB FASTROAD said that the first stages of just this project are complete. iBiquity is doing the work, which is co-funded by iBiquity and NAB's FASTROAD technology advocacy program. FASTROAD is short for Flexible Advanced Services for Television & Radio On All Devices.
The boosters, strategically located within a station's coverage area, would transmit only the digital portion of the hybrid IBOC signal. iBiquity is targeting a booster design that is interoperable among various transmission equipment manufacturers. The technology is reverse-compatible with existing receivers and supportable by existing FM IBOC broadcast products, such as exciters, through upgrades, according to the technology developer and NAB.
A technical report describing the results of laboratory testing of this new digital booster technology is available at the NAB FASTROAD Web site.
