Sat 15 June THE NEW ROOTS SESSIONS: Josienne Clarke / Benedict Benjamin / Robert Chaney
Nearest tube Kings Cross, 5 mins walk
£8.50 adv BUY NOW / £10.00
When Josienne Clarke signed to the illustrious independent music champions Rough Trade Records, its founder Geoff Travis told The Guardian that she writes, 'songs that rearrange your internal emotional landscape… reinventing the popular song structure'. With a rare gift for poetic melancholy, Josienne's songs have also been described as 'extraordinary' (Mojo), 'gently exquisite' (The Observer) and 'full of depth' (The Telegraph), while the world music bible Songlines said, 'Clarke's dark, complex imagery in the lyrics pushes the songs into rich metaphorical territory, one of the heart and of self-enquiry'. American Songwriter magazine named Josienne one of the best songwriters of 2016.
Benedict Benjamin is Ben Rubinstein, formerly of The Mariner's Children and Peggy Sue (Wichita Records). Benjamin is first and foremost a songwriter versed in the classical traditions of the form, capable of crafting both operatic crescendo and lullaby-like stillness, shot through with the heartbreaking swoon of Roy Orbison, the soothing harmonies of the Everly Brothers and the honesty of Jeff Tweedy. His songs undercut the dream-like beauty of early 60s pop music with lyrics both frank and poetic.

Weds 15 May: Sold Out! Sam Brookes with support from Genevieve Dawson
10A Bradbury St, Dalston, London N16 8JN
Nearest train station Dalston Kingsland, 2 mins walk DIRECTIONS
Sam Brookes is reminiscent of Tim Buckley as he glides between the lower and upper registers of his four-octave range. His pure voice, evocative lyrics and soaring melodies have made him a rising figure in the alt-folk scene.
Inspired by the British and American folk revivalists of the 60's, a sixteen-year-old Brookes began to write and perform while training as a gilder in his late father's workshop. By his mid-twenties, Brookes had begun to receive serious critical recognition, his self-released album, Kairos, being acclaimed by The Independent as one of the stand-out records of 2014. Now in demand as a vocalist and collaborator, the long list of artists Brookes has worked with includes Scott Matthews, Lucy Rose, Newton Faulkner and Basement Jaxx.
Tempus, released 3rd May, sees Sam rework Kairos's most arresting, intimate songs into richly layered acoustic versions with the help of producer Laurence Love Greed and some of the UK's finest session players. This Tempus tour will see Sam performing a very special set of intimate duo shows with voice, guitar and piano.
"he excels at propulsive, narratively rich folk, delivered in a soaring, clear-as-a-bell singing voice" – The Sunday Times
"there are vast emotional reserves at work" – The Independent
"a stunning work on so many levels" – Folk Radio
Thurs 16 May: James Riley (Full Band Show) / Our Man In The Field
Rileys distinctive contemporary roots music walks a fine line between timeless songcraft and soulful, modern vibrancy, all delivered with a strikingly candid folk voice. Since returning to the UK, James has been building towards the release of the Transatlantica album; putting out teaser singles, creating cinematic music videos, and performing at a slew of live shows and festivals. Highlights include Glastonbury, Wilderness, Shrewsbury Folk Festival and Maverick – and heads have begun turning. The past 18 months have seen James nominated for 4 UK music awards, national TV and radio coverage, and international tours on both sides of the Atlantic. The start of 2019 marks the threshold of an exciting new chapter for this transatlantic songsmith, and a long-awaited opportunity to share with the world the fruits of a hard-won musical journey. James Riley is an artist ready to hit his stride over the next twelve months.
Fri 17 May: Valeria Pozzo (trio) / Hugo M. Hardy (trio)
After years of playing in various bands, working on records with David Gray, Caro and more, and sharing studios with members of Elbow, Hugo M. Hardy'slatest musical incarnation is an exploration to the core of his evocative songwriting. After losing loved ones and moving away from a familiar home, Hugo locked himself away in the French Alps with nothing but a guitar, a laptop, and music from Kanye, Sufjan Stevens and James Blake. By the time he brought himself back to the UK, he realised that he had written and recorded his debut album. A combination of off kilter, acoustic and electronic production alongside thought-provoking, introspective lyrics create an atmosphere that has been likened to Elliott Smith, Bon Iver and The Microphones.

Sat 18 May: THE NEW ROOTS SESSIONS Samantha Whates / MG Boulter / Genevieve Dawson
Doors open 7.30 pm. Music from 8.00 pm sharp
Scottish singer-songwriter and Rough Trade Records recording artist Samantha Whates is a hugely respected figure on the London roots scene. Her beautifully crafted, poetic songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition, yet uniquely her own. She recently formed new Rough Trade Records signings Picapica with her long time friend and collaborator Josienne Clarke, winner of the prestigious Radio 2 Folk Awards 2015. Her debut album Dark Nights Make For Brighter Days has been enjoyed both critical acclaim and extensive radio play (BBC 6 Music, KCRW, Resonance FM).

Releasing his debut album in Spring 2012 under the name The Whispering Pines, Boulter has been an integral member of leading UK Americana band The Lucky Strikes since 2007, starting out on bass before switching to guitar and vocals, as well as penning much of their material. Since accompanying Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers) on various dates including a prestigious Green Man Festival headline set in 2011, Boulter has become a full member of The Simone Felice Band, touring the US and UK, also opening shows as solo performer. As a much sought after pedal steel and guitar player he has also worked with Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Mumford & Sons, Emily Portman's Coracle Band and Blue Rose Code.

Genevieve Dawson is a singer-songwriter originally from Edinburgh, now based in South-East London. Bringing together a frank lyrical style with a wonderfully rich and soulful tone, her sophisticated sound pulls influence from jazz and folk in equal measure. She has recently completed studies in composition at Goldsmiths University of London, following in the footsteps of James Blake and Rosie Lowe, amongst many other esteemed alumni.
' [She] blends folk-roots with spicy infusions of off-kilter improvisation and ambitiously ambiguous harmony. Genevieve's take is not unlike that of Hejira-era Joni Mitchell- her songwriting knows no upper bounds…see her at any opportunity you get' Bittersweet Symphonies.
Mon 20 May: TURYA 'Echo' EP Launch with support from Gus White
Nicki Wells, the exceptionally gifted singer and songwriter behind TURYA,takes inspiration from Indian classical music, which she studied throughout her teenage years in India. The name comes from Turiya, a Sanskrit word, meaning a state of pure consciousness, the silence experienced after sound. This influence is evident throughout her Nitin Sawhney produced debut album 'Ocean', and her brand new 'Echo' EP. TURYA's uniquely original sound fuses elements of Western folk, roots and pop with classical Indian foundations.
Growing up in a small village in Wiltshire, Gus White began his career as a choir boy, discovering his passion for music at an early age. He studied Sonic Arts at Queen's University Belfast and Popular Music at Goldsmiths University of London. He has been greatly influenced by folk artists such as Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, and by the countryside in which he grew up, contributing to his particularly English and pastoral sound.
Weds 22 May: Firefly Burning 'Breathe Shallow' Album Launch with support from Samantha Whates
St Pancras Old Church,
Pancras Rd, Kings Cross NW1 1UL
Nearest tube Kings Cross 7 mins walk DIRECTIONS
Firefly Burning launch their much-anticipated new album "Breath Shallow' at London's iconic St Pancras Old Church venue. 'Breathe Shallow' is a full-hearted expression of the 5-piece band's distinctive minimalist art-folk featuring nine new songs that map the terrain of what it is to love and lose.
Written and recorded amid the reed beds and salt marshes of coastal Suffolk, in residence at Snape Maltings, the album marks the band's return to the studio after 2015's acclaimed 'Skeleton Hill'. Together with legendary producer Tim Friese-Greene (Talk Talk) and engineer Joe Peet, they devised a hybrid 'almost-live' recording process, enabling them to distil onto tape the crisp intricacy and crystalline energy of their live sound.
Drawing on avant-pop, alt-folk, classical minimalism and Javanese Gamelan, Firefly Burning's sound is "fresh, original and often audacious" (Mojo). For 'Breathe Shallow', the line-up has been augmented by bass synth and kick-drum, offsetting strings and vocal harmonies with a muscular momentum.
Borne out of a two year collaboration with Tim Friese-Greene 'Skeleton Hill' (2015), Firefly Burning's second album, garnered critical success for its rich tapestry and originality. The band followed up the album launch with a UK tour supported by Arts Council England. In 2017 Firefly Burning developed a covers project with filmmaker Fred MacGregor, and in 2018 collaborated on a songwriting residency with emerging musicians at Brighter Sounds in Manchester.
"strange but soaring, dense but addictive…for anybody who wishes Kate Bush were a bit more arty or Steve Reich were a lot more folky" – The Times
"fresh, original and often audacious…old and futuristic at the same time" – Mojo
"Flecks of Gentle Giant, Joni Mitchell and Fleet Foxes…a contemporary folk album with art-prog leanings: if Bjork got into 'The Wicker Man' it'd be almost as unintentionally spooky as this… Cleansing" – Prog
"vital and indefinable"– For Folks Sake
"utterly hypnotic… intoxicating, beautiful and affirming" – Matchbox

Fri 7 June: DOUBLE BILL: Catherine Rudie & The Kisses / Sephine Llo
New Roots presents a superb alt-folk double bill, Catherine Rudie & the Kisses & Sephine Llo.
From the North Coast of Scotland, Catherine Rudie was originally a bagpipe player and traditional Gaelic singer before switching to writing in English, developing a uniquely experimental approach to songwriting and arrangements. Recently she's been picked by BBC3's The Late Junction as 'One to Watch' for 2019. Her debut album The Mobius Kiss combines contemporary digital instruments such as the Roli Seaboard with unorthodox harmonies and traditional folk-style melodies. A special edition of the album in vinyl is available to pre-order now (https://qrates.com/projects/167399) and physical copies will be available to buy (for the first time!) on the night itself. Catherine will play with accompaniment from Barbara Bartz on violin and Chris Brambley on guitar.
'We're predicting big things in the year to come'. The Late Junction, BBC Radio 3 'Ones to Watch' Edition
'Really very good…' Roddy Hart, BBC Radio Scotland.
'It takes some self-confidence for any artist to lay her voice so bear on a recorded track. It is dynamic, distinct and really really impressive. One to watch? You bet.' Neil March, freshonthenet.co.uk
"The Phoenix and The Olive Tree" is Sephine Llo's powerful new single, raising money for Kidscan Children's Cancer Research. The music video shows her emotional head shave, in aid of the same charity. The song and fundraising are in memory of her husband Robert, who died in 2016 when she was 8 weeks pregnant with their son. This evocative single, telling a story of rebirth from grief, also celebrates the news that she is carrying their second child, a daughter. She will be accompanied by soprano/violinist Imogen Rennert, percussionist/guitarist Tom Finigan, and pianist Jessie Rodger.
Sephine Llo's debut album "I, Your Moon" is a unique, rich tapestry of multi-instrumentation; an ethereal sound, with soaring and sonically explosive crescendos, and a glitchy heart that pumps an electronic warmth throughout.
"Steeped in both folk and modern classical, the fluttering electronics are reminiscent of Bjork's more opaque compositions." – CLASH
"Ethereal, ghostly soundscapes that draw quick comparisons to Florence Welch or Kate Bush." – WONDERLAND
"I'm sure she's the only artist that we've played this week who has also featured on Radio 3's Late Junction!" – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 MUSIC

Fri 3 May: Laura Frances with support from Ned Roberts
New Roots presents Laura Frances (full band show), with support from Ned Roberts.
Laura Frances is a striking new voice in UK alt-folk, with a startling depth and a richly intense tone that instantly marks her out as one to watch. The deep vulnerability in her lyrics and unique vocal style is juxtaposed by lush layers of dreamy guitar, captivating and transporting the listener. Laura's debut album is set for release in the summer of 2020, and she plays its songs tonight with a new 4-piece band.
Singer-songwrter Ned Roberts has played the UK, Europe and the West Coast of America extensively, touring with Anais Mitchell, and sharing bills with Joe Pug, Micah P. Hinson, The Delines and Sarabeth Tucek amongst many more.

Sun 5 May: Dai & The Ramblers (two sets)
Please note, the venue consists of both seated and standing areas. To ensure a seat, please arrive early.
New Roots presents a Cajun, New Orleans, folk-soul-jazz gumbo!
4-piece Dai & The Ramblers have recorded two critically acclaimed albums, Duw Duw and Bon Bon, crammed full of their rhythm & blues spiced brand of Cajun and New Orleans soaked soul, folk and jazz. The upright bass, guitar, piano and fiddle 4-piece have a serious pedigree- between them they've played with Paul McCartmey, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, Richard Thompson, Bob Geldof, Loudon Wainwright and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

"A joyous romp… will raise your spirits and gladden your heart" Michael Farley (Americana UK)
Fri 10 May: Gem Andrews (full band show)
Gem Andrews writes Americana and folk music with an honesty and rawness that cuts to the quick. Andrews' superb songs are backed by lush harmonies, sweet fiddle, piano and accordion, and supported by a double bass and drums rhythm section. Deeply rooted in contemporary alt-country, her sound makes respectful nods to the giants of roots and country music, Patsy Cline, Lucinda Williams and Kate & Anna McGarrigle, all the while maintaining her own fiercely independent spirit.
In Andrews' powerful new album 'North', released in January 2018, she employs a noir-country stye to tackle heavyweight themes of mental illness, poverty, community and destitution. Running through every song is the North East of England- as subect, backdrop and through tribute to local legends, including adaptations of poems by the late, great local poet and playwright Julia Darling. 'North' captures the energy and warmth of the people of the region, and the rage felt at a political class who have left them to waste.
Tues 14 May: Stevan Murphy & The Athletes of Soul with support from Rob Corcoran / Ciaran Dwyer
Genevieve Dawson is a singer-songwriter originally from Edinburgh, now based in South-East London. Bringing together a frank lyrical style with a wonderfully rich and soulful tone, her sophisticated sound, supported by a superbly accomplished five piece band of keys, horns, bass and drums, pulls influence from jazz and folk in equal measure.

http://harriman.columbia.edu/event/agitation-freedom-revolution-and-its-avant-garde
This event is organized in conjunction with Russian Revolution: A Contested Legacy, an exhibition dedicated to the centennial of the Russian Revolution at International Print Center New York (IPCNY), curated by Masha Chlenova. The exhibition runs October 12-December 16, 2017.
The conference will address little-discussed issues of individual freedoms and civil liberties brought about by the October Revolution and celebrated by the artists of the Russian avant-garde: the emancipation of women, advocacy of sexual and gay liberation, internationalism, racial equality, and rights of ethnic minorities. These gains in individual freedoms, rolled back in the Soviet Union by the mid-1930s are on the agenda again today. The issues of women's rights, gay rights, internationalism, and racial equality are central in the modern world, and especially critical in Putin's Russia and Trump's America. This conference will explore this radically transformative aspect of the Russian Revolution and the way it was reflected in the artistic project of the Russian avant-garde, and discuss how it resonates with the anti-authoritarian tendencies and Civil Rights movements in today's world.
The conference program will feature visiting scholars of Russian modernism and Russian avant-garde art: Kate Baldwin (Northwestern University), Dan Healey (University of Oxford), Samuel Johnson (Syracuse University), Julia Mickenberg (University of Texas at Austin), Kristin Romberg (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), New York-based artists Yevgeniy Fiks and Anton Ginzburg, and keynote speakers Maria Gough (Harvard University) and Christina Kiaer (Northwestern University).
The conference is organized by Maria Ratanova and Masha Chlenova

A MAN has been killed by a falling tree just hours after a woman died when a caravan was blown off a cliff while she slept inside as Storm Ali wreaks havoc in Ireland.
The engineer was working in Slieve Gullion Forest Park in Newry, Co Armagh, when the horror unfolded today.
It is understood his colleague was also hurt in the incident.
Police confirmed the man's death this evening.
It comes after the body of the woman, aged in her 50s, was recovered on a beach after her caravan was caught in 140kph gusts on the west coast.
The woman is understood to be a Swiss tourist staying at a nearby campsite.
A garda spokeswoman said: "Gardaí at Clifden Co Galway are investigating an incident which occurred at Claddaghduff, Co Galway this morning.
President Michael D Higgins offered his condolences to the family of the woman.
He said: "Today's strong winds can result in dangerous situations and I would urge everyone to heed the warnings by the authorities and take caution when travelling or when out in the open.
A yellow weather alert remains in place for the whole country until 5pm today.
Met Eireann forecasters revealed: "Very windy across Ireland from early on Wednesday morning until evening.
Dublin Zoo is closed for the rest of the day – and walkers and cyclists are advised not to enter the Phoenix Park as Storm Ali blows over.
All roads in the Dublin park are closed except for Chesterfield Avenue and traffic heading towards the city is being diverted by the Odd Lamp Road and Chesterfield Avenue.
The Office of Public Works say debris has been scattered as they urged the public to stay away.
Transport services have also been impacted with Luas, Irish Rail and Dublin Bus all affected by the storm.
Luas Green Line services are only operating between Brides Glen and Balally, and Dominick to Broombridge.
Dublin Bus are accepting tickets – but several of their routes have been diverted due to fallen trees.

Kit Harington, The King In The North, Calls Trump A 'Con Artist'
By Bill Bradley
When it comes to "Game of Thrones," Jon Snow knows nothing. When it comes to American politics, Kit Harington prefers you think he knows nothing.
According to a profile from Esquire, the actor chooses not to "weigh in on American politics," deferring to "experts" to take on those issues.
Looking at his quotes, it seems Harington doesn't think politics and entertainers always mix well. The English actor says he found it "annoying" when Sean Penn decided to involve himself in the dispute over the Falkland Islands.
"I was like, 'It has nothing to do with you, Sean Penn. Fuck off.'" said Harington.
Even so, Jon Snow still has an opinion on President Donald Trump ... er ... excuse me ... Mr. Donald Trump.
"Mr. Donald Trump — I wouldn't call him President, I'll call him Mister," said Harington (to which we say, "Oh snap!").
"I think this man at the head of your country is a con artist," he told Esquire.
The King in the North has spoken, and there's Snow doubt he's not a Trump fan.
Harington's sentiments echo those of many "Game of Thrones" cast members.
Sansa Stark herself, Sophie Turner, has spoken out against Trump and the show's stars including Liam Cunningham regularly promote anti-Trump messages on their Twitter feeds.
In the same Esquire profile, author George R.R. Martin, whose stories inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones," even compared Trump to one of his most-hated characters, King Joffrey.
"I think Joffrey is now the king in America," said Martin. "And he's grown up just as petulant and irrational as he was when he was 13 in the books."
Some may think Martin's comparison is a little harsh ... you know ... for Joffrey.

Buy 50 Domains For SEO or PPC Value?
Having one website is good for SEO, so having 50 must be 50X better, right?
My answer is a bit oversimplified but I would argue that the time and money are better spent improving the primary domain. You might get different and equally valid answers from others, but be sure to weigh the pros and cons, costs and benefits before heading down this path.
SEO Benefits or Brand Builder?
While this tactic used to work well for ranking high with exact match domain names, there is almost no benefit in moderate-to-highly competitive markets.
Unless those 50 sites had links pointing to them from other sites (not reciprocal links within the same link wheel), they won't pass much, if any, link equity to the primary domain and won't rank well for anything but very long tail keywords.
Exact match domain names are no longer as powerful as they used to be.
My advice would be to spend the resources (money and time) that you would have spent on building unique content for 50 unique landing pages and add 50 pages of useful, relevant content to your primary domain.
PPC Benefits for Landing Pages?
Any PPC benefit that can be derived from unique landing pages (and there definitely is some) would be just as effective as subdomains or subdirectories of the primary domain without the added expense and management overhead.
Want to test and manage multiple landing pages easily? Try a landing page testing tool like Unbounce.com or Google Website Optimizer.
There are lots of ways to make better use of an existing domain name before investing in new ones and starting from scratch.

The following is a short list of the most common mosquitoes that cause problems on a regular basis in WBR Parish. This by no means includes all of the species that are present here in WBR, just the most common species we deal with on a daily basis and that you are most likely to find around your home. There are 3000 different species of mosquitoes worldwide, 68 of those species are found in Louisiana. The danger of mosquitoes is their ability to carry and spread disease.
Throughout this website you will often see abbreviated references to specific diseases such as WNV for West Nile Virus, SLE for St. Louis Encephalitis, EEE for Eastern Equine Encephalitis, VEE for Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, WEE for Western Equine Encephalitis, and CE for California Encephalitis. Other important mosquito-borne diseases include Malaria, Yellow fever, Dengue, and Dog Heartworm. For complete information on each disease please check out our webpage section on mosquito borne diseases or follow this link to the American Mosquito Control Association's article on Mosquito-Borne Diseases.
Aedes Albopictus better known as the "Asian Tiger Mosquito" has become increasingly common in WBR, mostly around the home. Most of the time when people call in and say they are getting bit by these "tiny black and white striped mosquitoes" this is the species to blame. Ae. Albopictus primarily is a container breeder, which means you'll find it in things like: cans, buckets, bird baths, kid's toys, clogged gutters, abandoned fish ponds, pet dishes, wheelbarrows, and tires just to name a few. The "Tiger Mosquito" has a very short flight range (less than several hundred feet) which means if your having a problem with these mosquitoes they are breeding around your home or a neighbors house nearby. This mosquito is a potential vector of West Nile Virus, Saint Louis Encephalitis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and Zika Virus. Ae. Albopictus also is a capable vector of Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, and Dog Heart Worm. You the public can play a major role in the control of this mosquito, probably more so than with any other species. By making sure that all containers around the home are emptied, fish ponds are populated or have a operational fountain, bird baths are flushed at least once a week, gutters kept clean, and old tires properly disposed of you the public will help us in the control of this species a great deal.
Culex Quinquefasciatus better known as the "Southern House Mosquito" is very common in WBR. This mosquito's habitat of choice is water with high amounts of organic matter, such as roadside ditches, sewage oxidation ponds, and above ground sewer treatment plants. Cx. Quinqs is the primary vector of WNV, SLE, and dog heartworm in Louisiana, because of this the bulk of our surveillance and spray programs are targeted towards the control of this species. When we are out ULV spraying at night or spraying larvicide into roadside ditches during the day this is usually the species we are targeting. It is known as the "Southern House Mosquito" because of it's habit of coming into homes at night especially in areas of poor housing, where things like broken screens and poor sealing around window air units allow this species an entrance into the home.
Psorophora Ferox better known as the "Woodland Mosquito" is very common in the wooded areas of WBR Parish. This mosquito is very recognizable with it's white tipped legs and brilliant blue-purple scales. This mosquito can be real pest for homeowners who build on partially cleared woodland lots, and also for hunters who venture into the wooded areas of WBR. It is considered to be a potential vector of WNV but not nearly as efficient as some species in WBR. During times of extreme flooding (hurricanes) the numbers of this species can increase to the point where they begin to leave the wooded areas of the parish and move into the surrounding populated areas.
Psorophora Columbiae also known as the "Dark Rice Field Mosquito" is common in WBR Parish, especially after periods of heavy rain and flooding. The females of this large dark species are fierce biters, attacking anytime day or night. In cases of extreme numbers they can kill livestock and make it virtually impossible for people to be outdoors.
Ps. Columbiae is a potential vector of WNV and a efficient vector of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis.
Anopheles Quadrimaculatus better known as the "Malaria Mosquito" is fairly common in WBR Parish. This species is the principal vector of Malaria east of the Rocky Mountains. It is also a vector of WNV and dog heartworm. This mosquito's habitats of choice include swamps, marshes, lake margins, rice fields, and slow moving streams. An. Quadrimaculatus is a large brown colored species with dark spots on each wing.
Aedes Vexans also know as the "Floodwater Mosquito" is very common in WBR Parish especially after periods of heavy rain and flooding. This species will breed in very high numbers and has a flight range of 5 to 10 miles, with a favorable wind they can even travel 20 to 40 miles. It is because of this that we often get calls from citizens after a night of ULV truck spraying claiming that mosquito populations are worse then they were previous to spraying. In this case a fresh wave of mosquitoes could have come in from anywhere 5 to 40 miles away(such as the swampy areas on Rosedale Rd.) and replaced the mosquito population that was killed the previous night. This species is known to cause a painful bite and is a potential vector of EEE, CE, WNV and dog heartworm.


When it comes to medical conditions, there are often several treatment options on the table.
It's part of what makes medicine such an inexact science. There may be multiple drugs that can treat one condition, but those drugs may have distinct differences between them that make them more effective in some people but less effective for others.
A great example is the case of Vyvanse vs. Adderall.
Both are possible treatment options for someone who's been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD), but they are by no means the same drug.
There are many variations of ADD with differing symptoms, but in large part, it's defined by having difficulty staying focused on a single task or controlling impulsive activity (4). The exact cause of ADD is unclear, but there's enough evidence to show that it causes an imbalance among the neurotransmitters in the brain that help to regulate behavior (4).
Despite not knowing its exact cause, scientists do feel confident classifying ADD as a neurological problem (4), meaning it is not brought about by environmental factors. This makes it possible for drugs like Vyvanse and Adderall, among others, to alleviate symptoms of ADD by changing brain chemistry.
Let's explore some of the similarities and differences between Vyvanse and Adderall to determine when it's appropriate to use each drug for treating ADD.
A diagnosis of ADD, which is officially called attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) may be cause for a doctor to recommend Vyvanse, which also goes by the name Lisdexamfetamine. Vyvanse is a stimulant that's designed to balance neurotransmitters within the brain (1). It's common for Vyvanse to be used as part of a larger treatment plan (1), meaning it may be used in conjunction with other remedies.
Vyvanse has also been used as a treatment option for binge eating disorder (1).
Much like the drug helps to balance out neurotransmitters to help combat problems staying focused, Vyvanse helping to bring balance to brain chemistry may help to reduce the occasions a person feels compelled to binge eat.
In some instances, Vyvanse has also been used to treat psychological disorders like depression and schizophrenia (2). It has also been used to combat excessive daytime sleepiness (2).
Of course, using Vyvanse to treat these conditions, as well as binge eating disorder, is considered off-label use of the drug.
Adderall, meanwhile, is also a stimulant that is most commonly prescribed to treat a diagnosis of ADHD (3). Like Vyvanse, it works by altering brain chemistry with the purpose of helping a person stay focused and organized (3).
It is also believed to help improve behavior, which is why so many people associate the drug with children who act out and struggle to pay attention in school.
The drug has also been used to treat narcolepsy (3). By helping a person to remain focused and attentive, they are less likely to spontaneously fall asleep during the day, which is a problem for people who suffer from narcolepsy.
However, it's important to recognize that Adderall should not be used by those who don't suffer from a sleep disorder and simply wish to stay awake (3).
In addition to treating narcolepsy and other disorders that may interrupt a person's normal sleep cycle, Adderall has also been used to treat depression and obesity (3). However, this is considered off-label use of Adderall.
Doctors may prescript Vyvanse to either adults or children over the age of six who have been diagnosed with ADD (5). The drug has never been tested for children under the age of six, nor is it approved for children this young (5). Being an amphetamine, prescribing Vyvanse should not be done lightly by any doctor.
Prior to prescribing Vyvanse, doctors will assess the risk of a patient abusing the drug (5), which is possible with amphetamines. Doctors are also directed to look for signs of dependence or abuse in patients who are taking Vyvanse (5). Any signs of dependency could cause a doctor to stop treating with Vyvanse and consider other options.
The effectiveness of Vyvanse, assuming there's no dependency, may determine how long a patient continues to take it. It's common for doctors to stop treating with Vyvanse for a period of time to see if there are any behavioral changes (1). Doing this can help determine whether the medication is making a difference and is worth continuing.
It's common for Vyvanse to become less effective if a patient continues to take it over a long period of time (1). This points to Vyvanse being more of a short-term solution than a permanent one, especially when the possibility of developing a dependency on the amphetamine is added to the equation.
Similar to Vyvanse, Adderall will be prescribed by doctors only have a diagnosis of ADD has been confirmed (6). There is a specific list of symptoms that must be present for at least six months in order for a doctor to confirm ADD (6). This helps prevent doctors from rushing to prescribe Adderall unless it's necessary, especially in the case of children.
It's also common for Adderall to be just one part of a treatment program (7). In many instances, young patients will undergo forms of psychological, educational, or social treatment in conjunction with Adderall in order to combat ADD on multiple fronts (7). Such treatment methods may be attempted prior to a doctor prescribing Adderall.
Much like Vyvanse, Adderall may not be considered a permanent solution. There's a lack of information about the long-term effects of Adderall (6). As a result, doctors will frequently re-evaluate whether it is making a significant difference and if a patient should continue using the drug (6).
The recommended dosage of Vyvanse is usually one capsule per day (2). Doses typically begin at 30 mg per day (5). At the doctor's discretion, the dose may be increased by 10 mg each week up to 70 mg (5). However, there are several variables when it comes to increasing the dosage, and it will rarely increase beyond 70 mg per day (5).
With Vyvanse, it's usually recommended that the capsule is taken in the morning (5). As with most medications, it's best to make it part of a daily routine so you can take it at the same time and every day and not miss a dose. Taking Vyvanse in the afternoon or evening can put you at risk of insomnia (5).
With Adderall, a doctor may recommend taking more than one dose per day, although it's usually not taken more than thrice per day (2). When to take each dose will be determined by your doctor, although the first dose of the day is usually taken in the morning (6). If more than one dose per day is prescribed, there is usually four to six hours between each dose (6).
Similar to Vyvanse, taking Adderall too late in the date can lead to difficulty sleeping at night (3). This makes it all the more important to remember to take Adderall at the appropriate time without missing a dose.
Patients prescribed Adderall will typically begin by taking 5 mg per dose in the form of a tablet (6). Most patients will begin at one, perhaps two, doses per day. If necessary, daily doses may be increased on a weekly basis, usually 5 mg at a time (6). The total daily dose of Adderall that a doctor prescribes will usually max out at 40 mg per day (6).
Vyvanse has been shown to have a positive effect on many of the behaviors that plague those with ADD. For instance, many children with ADD have difficulty remaining focused on a task (4). This can refer to children who struggle to concentrate on a task, struggle to begin a task, or fall victim to distractions in the middle of a task (4).
Vyvanse has been shown to improve focus and organization while decreasing the distractibility for those with ADD (8). Improvements in these areas can make it easier for those with ADD to complete tasks without being distracted or losing their concentration.
Children with ADD are also prone to instances of hyperactivity or impulsivity (4). Hyperactivity can manifest in a number of ways, including excessive talking, fidgety movement with arms or legs, and the desire to be always be moving (4). This can add to the difficulty that children have completing tasks and also get them labeled as being problematic.
However, many taking Vyvanse have seen a decline in their agitation levels (8), making them less prone to hyperactive behavior. Vyvanse can also drive down the need to constantly be talking or in motion (8), helping them to remain calm despite being stuck in one place for long periods of time.
In terms of impulsivity, children with ADD may act or speak without thinking, as they are in search of instant gratification (4). Such actions can come across as disruptive or possibly risky; however, they are merely a result of children struggling to control their impulses because of their brain chemistry and not their personality (4).
For those experiencing such symptoms as a result of ADD, Vyvanse has been shown to be helpful in calming impulsive behavior (8). A decline in this impulsive behavior not only makes a different with regard to task completion, but it can also benefit them socially.
Adderall can have a similar effect on the symptoms of ADD as Vyvanse. Stimulants like Adderall alter brain chemistry to improve to flow of certain neurotransmitters (9). This helps to rectify the changes in brain chemistry that cause ADD in the first place, resulting in increased focus and improvement the behavioral deficiencies that can plague those with ADD (9).
The combination of amphetamines present in Adderall works to control the behavior associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity (10), as discussed above. Like Vyvanse, Adderall plays a role in diminishing this type of behavior, leading to improvement in accomplishing tasks, as well as social benefits.
Taking Vyvanse offers a number of benefits for those who have ADD. As discussed above, it helps to curb many of the behaviors that define the condition, allowing those with ADD to concentrate better on the task at hand and become more comfortable in social situations.
Another benefit of Vyvanse that we've discussed previously is the fact that it's typically taken just once per day (5). This is a distinction from Adderall and makes Vyvanse easier to consume on a regular basis. With just one dose per day, the user can incorporate the medication into their daily schedule without having to schedule several doses throughout the day.
The fact that Vyvanse comes in a capsule is another benefit that shouldn't be overlooked. Young children who suffer from ADD may have difficulty swallowing pills. Being able to open the capsule and mix the contents into a glass of water or a cup of yogurt makes it that much easier to ingest the medicine without hassle.
Beyond the ease in taking Vyvanse, the drug rarely leads to addiction in those who are prescribed it (1). There's obviously no guarantee when it comes to someone avoiding a harmful addition. But as long as you take Vyvanse as prescribed, starting and stopping as prescribed by your doctor, the odds are in your favor to avoid adverse effects with regard to addiction.
Vyvanse is also categorized as a long-release drug, a type of drug that typically gets better results in clinical settings than short-release drugs when it comes to treating for ADD (11). The relevance here is that each capsule provides a steady improvement over the course of several hours (11). In the case of Vyvanse, each pill will remain effective for 10 to 12 hours (11).
For the sake of comparison, a short-release drug may have a more immediate impact. However, it will wear off faster, creating an instant high but leaving the user eventually wanting and needing more. With a long-release drug like Vyvanse, the user experiences an improvement, but in a way, that's stable and consistent over the course of the day (11).
Moreover, the nature of Vyvanse allows the user to become accustomed to the changes the drug causes in their behavior and adapt to those changes relatively quickly (11). For anyone taking a prescription medication, knowing how the drug will affect you makes a huge difference, and so Vyvanse's reliability is a huge benefit.
The way Vyvanse is absorbed is also important to its effectiveness. A vast majority of the drug takes effect in the blood, which is different from other ADD treatments (11). This allows users to take their dose of medication without or without food. Potential variables like fasting or the acidity of your stomach will have little effect in Vyvanse inside the body (11).
Another benefit of Vyvanse is that it's made of d-amphetamine. Compared to other types of ADD treatment, including Adderall, this helps to reduce anxiety and other types of unusual emotions as a result of the drug (11).
Finally, most ADD treatments are best for short-term use, as their benefits tend to diminish the longer you take it. This is true to some extent with Vyvanse, but studies show that more than half of people taking Vyvanse for a year still experience relief from their ADD symptoms (11). This suggests that patients can stay on the drug longer than other medicines in they event they need to.
Like Vyvanse, Adderall has a long list of advantages. As most people know, Adderall is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for treating ADD (3). This gives Adderall an extensive track record for helping both children and adults improve their concentration and keep their compulsive behavior under control.
One of the top benefits of Adderall that makes it such a common treatment for ADD is that it's an instant-release drug (9). The effects of the drug can be seen in patients within an hour or two, with peak effectiveness usually occurring three hours after taking each dose (9). Knowing this can help doctors and patients plan out the optimal times to plan doses throughout the day.
There is also a new version of Adderall developed called Adderall XR (extended release) (9). Instead of needing multiple doses per day, which is common with Adderall, the new version lasts for 24 hours, giving patients the option of only taking one dose per day (9).
Like all drugs, Vyvanse does come with some risk of side effects. However, it's important to keep in mind that if the drug was properly prescribed and taken as directed, it minimizes the risk of the user experiencing serious side effects (1). That being said, it's important to be cognizant of the potential risks and side effects of the Vyvanse.
Among the most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness (1). Anyone should contact a medical professional if you experience these symptoms. Other side effects that require medical attention if they persist include loss of appetite, dry mouth, nervousness, irritability, restlessness, trouble sleeping, and weight loss (1).
Vyvanse has also been known to cause more serious and immediate side effects in rare instances. Among these are blurred vision, irregular heartbeat, sudden mood swings that involve aggression or depression, uncontrolled twitching, numbness, changes in skin color, sudden outbursts of words or sounds, swelling, extreme fatigue (1). Such symptoms may require immediate medical intervention.
Allergic reactions to Vyvanse are rare but possible. Symptoms of an allergy include a rash, swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, and extreme dizziness (1). Any type of chest pain, shortness of breath, confusion, slurred speech, or sudden vision changes upon taking Vyvanse require immediate medical attention (1), although are rare side effects of the drug.
It's also possible for Vyvanse use to raise your blood pressure (1). Your doctor will be aware of this and will regularly check your blood pressure during the course of treatment. However, it can be a good idea to check your blood pressure on your own if possible and contact your doctor if it's higher than usual.
As mentioned earlier, Vyvanse has a lower incidence of addiction than other types of ADD treatment, but being a stimulant, dependency is still possible (8). Issues with Vyvanse related to dependence or tolerance are more common when the drug is misused, although, in some instances, it's also possible with long-term use (8).
A condition called Vyvanse Use Disorder can alter brain chemistry and functioning, often leading to malnourishment and chronic insomnia (8). Issues with vision, damage to the liver, seizures, and cardiovascular problems are also possible (8). For younger users, Vyvanse Use Disorder can also suppress growth (8).
It bears repeating that serious side effects and dependency issues with Vyvanse are rare. However, anyone taking the drug should be aware of the possible risks and side effects as a way to recognize the importance of taking Vyvanse as directed and seek medical attention if any side effects present.
Adderall also comes with a number of potential side effects. Again, like Vyvanse, if Adderall is properly prescribed and taken as directed, it should minimize the risk of serious side effects (1). Nevertheless, it's important to be aware of the possible side effects.
Some of the more serious side effects of Adderall include bladder pain, frequent urination, painful urination, bloody urine, lower back pain, and an irregular heartbeat (6). Your doctor should be notified as soon as possible at the onset of any of these symptoms when taking Adderall (6).
Immediate medical intervention may also be necessary if you experience issues with blood flow that may manifest as numbness or changes in skin color, mood swings that relate to abnormal aggression or depression, abnormal wounds around your fingers and toes, teeth grinding or constant chewing movement, sudden outbursts of noise, and uncontrolled movements (3).
Just like Vyvanse, serious allergic reactions are rare but possible with Adderall. Signs of an allergy to Adderall include a rash, severe dizziness, itching or swelling around the face or throat, and trouble breathing (3). Any such symptoms will require immediate medical intervention.
Rare but serious side effects of Adderall that also require immediate medical attention include fainting, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, severe headache, extreme fatigue, swelling in the feet or ankles, slurred speech, confusion, or weakness on one side of the body (3).
More common side effects of Adderall that may not be serious in the short-term include difficulty sleeping, nervousness, restlessness, dry mouth, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss, and headache (7). These symptoms may not require immediate medical attention but they should be passed along to your prescribing physician.
Adderall also has a higher risk of dependency than Vyvanse, especially if it's not taken as prescribed (7). Taking a larger dose of Adderall than what has been prescribed or taking it more often than your doctor recommends can lead to an addiction (7).
Abusing Adderall may lead to symptoms like a rash, insomnia, irritability, and other changes in one's personality (7). Serious abuse of Adderall can cause symptoms that are nearly identical to schizophrenia (7), which speaks to the importance of taking doses exactly as they were prescribed.
Based on all the information available, both Vyvanse and Adderall are viable forms of treatment for ADD. However, there are distinctions between the two that may make one drug better than the other for certain patients.
To some extent, Vyvanse may be the safer choice for treating ADD. It requires just one dosage per day and has been shown to be less of a risk for addiction than Adderall. It also has less of a history of being abused as a recreational drug than Adderall, which has played a role in the latter drug receiving a bad reputation.
Vyvanse being a long-release drug also makes it safer and more predictable in its results than Adderall. To be fair, Vyvanse has less of a track record for treating ADD than Adderall, but for someone who was recently diagnosed with ADD, it may be a better option to try right off the bat than Adderall.
On the other hand, Adderall is a more established treatment option, having been around longer. There may be a higher risk of addiction when taking Adderall, but as long as the drug is taken as prescribed, those risks can be minimized as much as possible.
Ultimately, Adderall may be considered a slightly more radical treatment, but one that may have a better chance of being successful, at least in the short term. Neither drug should be looked at as a permanent solution for ADD, and both should be taken in conjunction with other forms of treatment.
For someone with ADD, both Vyvanse and Adderall have the potential to curb symptoms. But it's important to keep in mind that the success of each will vary from person to person and depend in large part on the circumstances of each individual case.


Wunderkammern, collections of natural specimens and rarities referred to as "cabinets of curiosities," first appeared in the 16th century and endure to this day. They not only sustain the pedagogical heart of most natural history museums, but also are conceptual fodder for many an artist. The promise of "wonder," however, is rarely delivered. To the jaded 21st-century eye, a truly wonder-full Wunderkammer is best inferred: Joseph Cornell's oblique shadow boxes come to mind, as do, more recently, the phantasmagoric fauna of Australian artist Kate Rohde, and the alchemical installations of Singaporean Donna Ong.
Another Singaporean artist, Robert Zhao Renhui, has amassed a vast collection of curiosities under the auspices of his idiosyncratic Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ). Since 2008, the Institute has teased and intrigued: it is utterly imaginary, yet explores real moral and ethical issues involving our intercessions with the natural world. Within the ICZ framework, Zhao produces pseudo-documentarian photographs and installations graced with startling authenticity.
In conjunction with OH! Open House projects, Zhao invites visitors—two at a time—to wander the collections of a nameless natural history society. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, his delightfully immersive Wunderkammer, titled "The Bizarre Honour"—an anagram of the artist's name—consists of a narrow terrace house stuffed with over 300 natural and scientific artifacts. Zhao aims to chronicle "the contentious relationship between this island and its human inhabitants, from colony to city-state," and does so through an interactive theater where bemused visitors are propelled—without guidance or explanation—into the role of explorer, scientist and historian.
Reflecting Singapore's half-century of aggressive nation-building, these anecdotal still-lifes in "Honour" are sparked by Zhao's wry humor. In the kitchen, a plate of chicken rice (the de facto national dish) rests alongside chick embryos, while a feather duster lies casually atop a vitrine holding duck and chicken skeletons. The rejoinder to a closet crammed with insect repellent and bug-lights is an acid-yellow room where chitinous remains languish beneath a bug-zapper. This micro-drama, labeled "The World Will Surely Collapse," may imply nature's subjugation, but is parried by the heartening sight of uppity tree roots breaking through concrete in the back garden—and countered again by Zhao's glass cabinet of locally endangered songbirds (stuffed) pondering a plate of chicken rice.
The artist revisits Singapore's evolving anatomy through photos of the Bukit Ho Swee fire of 1961 that left thousands homeless, marking the beginnings of modern public housing here (and the ascendency of concrete). A video montage of old postcards traces Singapore's waterfronts, from fishing village to reclaimed land to global shipping hub—a work prefaced by the artist's gnomic statement: "Places offering views of nothing henceforth would be confronted by something." Zhao's poetic doublespeak echoes the city-state's long-standing technocratic response to nature.
After examining all this ephemera in suspended disbelief, the visitor turns to Zhao's accompanying 80-page dossier of research, photos, maps and diagrams, hoping to fathom it all. But the artist perceives that fact is a poor storyteller. Instead, these documents serve only to amplify his proto-fictions through a wonder-full hybrid of fact, exaggeration and fable. By orchestrating the oddments of "The Bizarre Honour" into experiential context and storyline, Zhao composes a curious memoir of how Singapore has codified its natural, and social, ecologies.
Robert Zhao Renhui's "Bizarre Honour" is on view at OH! Open House, Singapore, until February 26, 2017.

The situation in our neighbouring areas and in Europe's neighbourhood has become more difficult. The constellation of actors is now more complex, and conflicts are spreading across borders. International terrorism, organised crime and cyber threats are creating new challenges.
Our membership of NATO and our transatlantic ties are the cornerstone of Norwegian foreign and security policy. In addition, Norway is strengthening the European and Nordic dimension in its security policy by developing closer security policy cooperation with selected European allies.
The UN and the legal order that the UN plays such a key role in upholding are of crucial importance for Norway. Norway participates actively in the UN and wants to take its share of the responsibility. That is why Norway is seeking a seat on the UN Security Council for the period 2021-2022.
Engagement in peace and reconciliation efforts are a key part of Norwegian foreign policy. Norway works actively to find lasting political solutions to wars and conflicts by facilitating dialogue between parties to conflict and supporting other actors' conflict resolution efforts.
Norway promotes balanced, mutual, irreversible and verifiable nuclear disarmament. This is in line with our values, interests and international obligations.
Norway also attaches importance to using development policy tools to address global security challenges.
maintain our close transatlantic ties and further develop our long-term security policy cooperation with the US
maintain and further develop the international legal order
promote peace and reconciliation in areas affected by war and conflict
achieve balanced, mutual, irreversible and verifiable disarmament

Women, peace and security
Norway is at the forefront of efforts to promote the inclusion of women in peace processes and to increase the proportion of women mediators. The Nordic Women Mediators (NWM) network was launched in 2015, and Norway is now working to establish a global alliance of regional networks of women mediators.
Aid to combat crime and terrorism
Norway has established a development programme to address global security challenges, which focuses on serious and organised crime and radicalisation, violent extremism and terrorism.

Norway's work as facilitator
Norway acted as facilitator in the negotiations that led to a peace agreement with the FARC-EP in Colombia in 2016. Norway is also official facilitator in the peace processes with the ELN guerrilla group in Colombia and the communist movement NDFP in the Philippines. In addition, Norway has facilitated discreet talks between parties that have not yet reached the negotiating table.
Participation in UN-led operations
Norway currently has a total of around 45 military personnel serving in three UN missions: MINUSMA in Mali, UNMISS in South Sudan and UNTSO in the Middle East. In addition, a total of around 30 Norwegian police officers are taking part in missions in South Sudan (UNMISS), Cyprus (UNFICYP), Haiti (MINUJUSTH) and Colombia (UNMC). Civilian advisers working for the UN mission in DR Congo (MONUSCO) and other civilian personnel employed directly by the UN come in addition to this.

Hello MosesLake
Moses Lake...
Moses Lake Washington History
On October 29, 2019, the site of the Moses Lake Washington Temple was officially announced as the site of a new temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in the city of Moses, Washington. You have heard that it is called "Lake Moses" or "The Great Salt Lake," an allusion to the location of the temple on the northern shore of Lake Moses.
FieldTurf was first installed at the Moses Lake Washington Temple on October 29, 2015. The first game on the new turf was a game between the LDS Church and the University of Washington at Lake Moses on November 4, 2016.
The first game on the new turf was a game between the LDS Church and the University of Washington at Lake Moses on November 4, 2016. FieldTurf was first installed on October 29, 2015 at the Moses Lake Washington Temple. The video combines a narrative photo slideshow with a video and computer animation sequence developed by WSU that shows the raging floods.
Moses Lake has quickly transformed into a vast region where transportation, agriculture, and recreation converge, and it is one of the most diverse places in the US.
In the 1940s, farmers had access to water from the Columbia River and its tributaries and began pumping irrigation water to allow the construction of a dam on the site of what is now the city of Moses Lake. Meanwhile, farmers developed water - they irrigated lakes on the Columbia River, began irrigating vast areas, and developed new irrigation methods to irrigate the lake itself. In the 1950s and 1960s, irrigation water began to be pumped into the river, irrigating the entire area from where it is located to the coast and developing an irrigation channel. In the meantime, they developed water - irrigation lakes and irrigated the water in and around the lake itself, and began to plant extensive irrigation - arable land.
"If you don't make $50,000 a year in Moses Lake, you're a punk," said one farmer, "and if you don't make $10,500 or $20,000 a year in the lake year, you're a punk.
He grew up in Tacoma, attended the University of Puget Sound and served in the US House of Representatives and the State Senate before returning to Moses Lake, where he built houses and farmed his family's land until his death in the 1970s. The city was courageous enough to be incorporated in September 1938 and held its first public session on the first Sunday of October of that year. Just twenty years after incorporating the park, George decided that it needed only one bowling alley, so the Russell family cut the ribbon at Lake Bowl in 1957. MosesLake Iron and Metal was founded in the 1950s and sold to Norman Estoos in 1979, which is now owned by Wayne and Karen Rimple.
Then in 1948, Moses Lake landed the biggest windfall in its history: the facility was brought back and reopened as the headquarters of the 325th Weather Fighter Wing. The institute moved its base to Spokane, but the old air base is now owned by the Port of Mosesville and is home to the U.S. Air Force's Pacific Air National Guard Base. It is also the site of its museum and art center, which houses archaeological tribal artifacts from the Great Lakes, Yakima Valley and other parts of Washington State.
The Origins of the Columbia River Basin, "a new travel guide published in 1997, explored by Marge and Ted Mueller. It covers the history of Moses Lake, its water source history and its role in the formation and development of its basalt, which flows into the Pacific and Great Lakes, as well as Lake Washington.
Chief Moses was the leader of the Sinkius tribe from 1859 to 1899 and was forced to negotiate with white settlers who began to colonize the area in the 1880s. Under government pressure, he swapped land in the Columbia Basin for a reserve stretching from Lake Chelan north to the Canadian-American border. Chief Moses swapped the Columbia Basin for the reserve, which stretched north of Lake Chelan to the borders of Canada and the United States. Moses Lake Army Air Base was mothballed, but not completely abandoned.
With a population of more than 16,000, Moses Lake was the center of an important agricultural region and Big Bend Community College provided educational opportunities. The old airbase is now owned by the Port of Moses and houses a number of small businesses, including a grocery store, a gas station and a restaurant.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, one of the most important aspects of Moses Lake's water quality is its ability to recover from a reduction in phosphorus input.
Before Moses Lake was dammed in the early 20th century and then included in the Columbia Basin Project, it was a small, salty shallow lake, said Dr. John D. Smith, a professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Washington. In the 1940s, when the truth about the gigantic lake of Missoula was discovered, it was controversial how the deep stump was dug up and the location of the exposed palisades and other features determined by Moses Coulee. Today, it is agreed that the glacial flood of Lake Missoua 10-15 thousand years ago cut the Moses Couplee and changed the country on its way to the Pacific. Traveling, "in which the floods broke through a huge glacial dam in Idaho and Montana.

I WALKED THROUGH the halls of the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Ala.—slowly. Original documents lined the walls of the nation's central memorial to the local actions that helped trigger the national mass movement for civil rights. To skim would have been a sacrilege. Each document was evidence. Evidence of struggle. Evidence that America's apartheid happened. Evidence of a miracle.
The museum is like a labyrinth. Each room builds on the last, adding color and depth to a reality most of the nation has only experienced in the two-dimensional contours of sepia-toned documentary footage and pictures.
I entered the room with the kitchen table where Martin Luther King Jr. dropped to his knees and prayed, weeping, scared, and still holding onto the last vestiges of his personal dream for a middle-class preacher's life. For my tour group, the room was about that table, but the documents lining the walls like wallpaper caught my eye.
The first time I read "Stop this violence," I was befuddled. What violence?
I scanned my memory for any trace of violence in the Montgomery bus boycott by the blacks who engaged in economic protest, refusing a public service that proclaimed and enforced a spiritual lie: Blacks are less than human. They had dropped one too many coins into the slot only to have to give up their seat to a white person if the bus was too full. The blacks of Montgomery refused to comply any longer with their society's sin. They couldn't continue taking up the public shovel to heap another pile of dirt on the carcass of their deadened dignity. So they walked.

Gabriel Villa (born in El Paso, Texas), is a Chicago-based artist and muralist. Villa arrived in Chicago in the late 1990s. Observations of his neighborhood had a profound visual and conceptual impact on the evolution of his work. Subjects such as public housing, surveillance, the marginalized, gang culture, family, religion and most recently gentrification/displacement all begin to morph and weave into broader ideas.

2009 mural censorship controversy
In May 2009, he was commissioned to paint a mural on private property in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood depicting three Chicago Police Department public surveillance cameras that carried the CPD logo along with other images, like a crucified Christ, a deer head and a skull. The mural was painted over completely by the Graffiti Blasters at the behest of 11th ward Alderman James Balcer, who said about the mural, "My main concern is the safety and well-being for the people in this community. We have gang violence and children getting shot, and I believed that the mural sent the wrong message." The incident sparked a local controversy over censorship, surveillance and private property.
