The experience for employees involves historical and technical education, contemplation of aircraft wreckage and personal effects, and examination of their personal role within the airline's efforts to reduce accident risk.
Although some visitors ask how Japanese culture influences the center, Kanasaki only mentions a common experience of aviation professionals worldwide: Safety is invisible in everyday tasks but its absence instantly becomes visible — what he calls "the solid shape of unsafety" — when people personally encounter wreckage and other artifacts of a crash such as Flight 123. Visitors from airlines of other countries have called the center a valuable educational tool, he said. Although exhibits of aircraft wreckage are used elsewhere in training accident investigators, he said he was unsure about their application to safety awareness and training at other airlines.
In January 2007, All Nippon Airways (ANA) opened the ANA Safety Education Center in Tokyo for ANA Group employees. Megumi Tezuka, an ANA public relations representative, told ASW that its basic educational purpose is for employees "to know and learn about aircraft accidents that occurred in the past … to learn and experience how a 'human error' can be made by anyone, and how these accidents are something that can happen again." The facility is open to the public except during hours of use by the company.
Before the JAL Safety Promotion Center was built, the accident airplane's aft pressure bulkhead, digital flight data recorder (DFDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) were used as visual aids only in JAL safety awareness courses for maintenance technicians. "Other wreckage — for example, the vertical stabilizer and fuselage — was packed and stored in a parts warehouse," Kanasaki said.
Hideaki Miyachi, a Boeing 747-400 captain and director of the Planning Group, JAL Corporate Safety and Security, said that when new JAL employees arrive, most think they are fully knowledgeable about Flight 123 as a national disaster. "Almost all of the public has been informed through the mass media," Kanasaki adds.
Three factors influenced JAL to create the Safety Promotion Center. From December 2004 to December 2005, several errors during flight operations prompted the Civil Aviation Bureau in Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to issue a business improvement order.
Another factor was that some bereaved families of Flight 123 many years earlier had requested that JAL exhibit the wreckage for basically the same purpose. Third, the personal sentiments of JAL Group's former CEO Toshiyuki Shinmachi came into play. He favored permanently exhibiting the wreckage "to remind the JAL employee about the safety mindset." He also understood that corrective actions for one safety defect at a time would not be sufficient without a strong and pervasive safety culture, Kanasaki said.
Some long-time employees also have visited the center in conjunction with evacuation training and ditching training for pilots and cabin crews, Miyachi said. "For example, every single pilot and every single cabin crewmember visited this center in 2008," he said. "After employees visit the center, their minds may change a lot. They believe they are doing a very important thing working for the company." Personnel in Safety and Security also use the center for initial and annual refresher training on Flight 123.
Operated by Corporate Safety and Security, the center occupies part of the second floor of a mid-rise office building in the Haneda Maintenance Area. Tours begin in the Library Room, containing the official accident report in Japanese and its English translation; historical and technical books about air transport safety and human factors; and documents, reports and nonfiction books associated with Flight 123.
Along one wall, panels summarize 10 major accidents that have occurred worldwide since airlines began operating turbine-engine airplanes. The adjacent panel chronologically shows the JAL accidents alongside 38 other fatal accidents involving large commercial jets. Other panels summarize the airline's seven fatal accidents before Flight 123, including the probable cause of each and safety actions taken. Computer workstations enable visitors to replay the center's videos or access digital reference material in English and Japanese.
"This center has not specialized only on Flight 123," Kanasaki said. "We exhibit information about other airlines' accidents in the history of aviation since 1950. They are part of the common knowledge of airmen, and provide a balanced look at experience of our company and airlines all over the world." The Display Room is the largest area. Its centerpiece is both halves of the recovered aft pressure bulkhead. They are mounted horizontally for close inspection because of the bulkhead's critical role in the accident. Surrounding panels explain the causes of the accident and measures taken to prevent a recurrence. Other major exhibits of the Display Room include a scale model of the airplane in JAL livery of the time, the vertical stabilizer root section, the vertical stabilizer upper section, the lower rudder's upper section, sections of the aft fuselage, and four damaged passenger seats.
The introductory wall in the Display Room presents a multi-panel summary of the Flight 123 accident, showing the estimated flight path overlaid with excerpts transcribed from the CVR; a graph of selected data from the 74-parameter DFDR validating the sequence of events; a diagram of areas of the aft fuselage and tail that separated during flight; diagrams of aircraft parts, which have hand-painted numbers, coded to indicate the sites where they were recovered and the parts never recovered; and a cabin layout showing which seats were occupied by the crewmembers and passengers killed, and those occupied by passengers who survived.
The tour begins at a panel on which a white line shows the estimated flight path of Flight 123, a normal departure and climb to Flight Level 240 (approximately 24,000 ft) from Haneda, then a descent to Flight Level 220 and an erratic 32 minutes of uncontrollable flight from soon after the aft pressure bulkhead ruptured to the crash site. Notations indicate key events in the accident sequence and the aircraft position in relation to key geographic features and relevant airports.
The DFDR-derived graph of aircraft altitude, airspeed, longitudinal acceleration and roll attitude data — along with video narration and a flight crew–air traffic control (ATC) voice re-enactment — give visitors a minute-by-minute sense of what the flight crew experienced while attempting to maintain stable flight, turn, descend and communicate with ATC. "The longitudinal acceleration data continue normally until the data skips, meaning that some impact force was applied in the forward direction," Kanasaki said.
A video associates this impact force with rupture of the aft pressure bulkhead and air pressure from the cabin destroying the empennage, including the vertical stabilizer and the fuselage tail section. Fifty-five percent of the vertical stabilizer was lost, and the four hydraulic lines — which supplied hydraulic pressure to an actuator for the upper and lower rudders — were severed causing total loss of fluid.
On the tour, the exhibit of the upper and lower halves of the aft pressure bulkhead, combined with a video and scale models of repairs conducted after the 1978 tail strike, explain how the instantaneous failure along the joint caused cabin air to open a hole of about 2 to 3 sq m (22 to 32 sq ft) in the bulkhead.
A three-dimensional terrain model depicts three points of impact — the airplane struck a single larch tree, made a U-shaped gouge in a ridge line, then descended at 340 kt into a remote forest of larch trees 1,565 m (5,135 ft) above sea level about 2.5 km (1.4 nm) north-northwest of Mount Mikuni at the boundary of Gunma, Nagano and Saitama Prefectures.
"The stress between the upper and lower halves of the bulkhead was concentrated in the center row of the three rows of rivets," he said. "An excessive load was applied in the center row and made a small crack around the rivet holes. Due to the repeated application of cabin pressurization during every takeoff and landing, the crack propagated little by little, and seven years later — at the 12,319th flight after the repair — the aft pressure bulkhead ruptured from this repaired area." A tail compartment pressure-relief vent door functioned as designed "but was too small to relieve the high pressure from the big hole in the aft pressure bulkhead," he added.
Displays positioned around the bulkhead halves highlight the complex corrective and proactive measures implemented.6 International and government-mandated measures focused on enhancement of maintenance programs, aircraft modification and organizational reinforcement for safety enhancement. The earliest came three days after the accident, when JAL "undertook a comprehensive inspection of the vertical stabilizer and rudder of all of its 747 aircraft as an emergency action," the video narration says.
For example, Boeing design modifications for newly manufactured 747s included the use of reinforced pressure bulkheads and changes to routing of hydraulic lines. Modifications suitable for retrofit included adding a cover plate for the maintenance inspection access hole inside the vertical stabilizer and adding a hydraulic fuse to prevent fluid loss from one line if downstream plumbing ever were damaged. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's Lessons Learned Library accidents-ll.faa.gov also has an analysis of international improvements prompted by JAL Flight 123 among 40 worldwide accidents selected for safety education.
After viewing Japanese and English-language newspaper accounts from 1985, and JAL internal magazines from that time, visitors learn that within months after the accident, many of the affected families formed the 8.12 Liaison Association to help each other and communicate. The association issued a publication called Osutaka. Copies are preserved on two display stands.
One corner of the Display Room has glass showcases containing keys, pens, eyeglasses, wristwatches and small debris, and panels showing five final handwritten messages. "Japan Airlines keeps about 2,700 personal items that remained but whose ownership we could not identify," Kanasaki said. "We selected 17 of these items to show how big the impact of the crash was. The five watches show the correct time of the impact, they stopped at 1856.
JAL has been open to suggestions about the center and further refinements. During its first two years, for example, each tour concluded at the personal effects area but some visitors left comments asking for reconsideration of the emotional impact of this order of presentation. "Some employees said they may lose their sense of confidence for their job," Kanasaki recalled.
In January 2008, the company's response was to add Display Room 2. "The newer exhibits show how close monitoring of aircraft has succeeded in limiting further damage or loss of lives," Kanasaki said. "One display is a list of four accidents in which every safety factor worked well due to the best effort by the people involved. The other display is a chronological table that shows the relationship between these accidents and related technical improvements." The improvements are broken down and graphically linked to subjects such as aircraft structure, warning systems and fire mitigation.
JAL Flight 123 crashed at approximately 1856 local time Aug. 12, 1985, among the mountains of Ueno Village, Tano County, Gunma Prefecture, during a scheduled passenger flight from Tokyo International Airport, Haneda, to Itami International Airport, Osaka, Japan. A total of 505 passengers and 15 crewmembers were killed in the accident, and four passengers received serious injuries. The aircraft was destroyed, and a fire occurred at the crash site.
On the tour for ASW, Kanasaki did not mention his own memories of the night of the accident or the following day. He was then a junior-level aircraft maintenance technician suddenly called back to work at his maintenance section at Haneda where Flight 123 was expected to return after a sudden decompression, possibly caused by a door opening, Miyachi said. Kanasaki soon was advised that the flight crew had reported their aircraft was "uncontrollable." Next, he heard a television news announcer tell viewers that a JAL 747 was missing in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture. Confirmation of the crash followed, and Kanasaki gathered heavy jackets, boots, gloves and other equipment for a first-response team. When JAL leaders learned the next day from the Japan Self-Defense Forces that debris floating in Sagami Bay was drifting to the shore of Yokohama, Kanasaki was dispatched to the location, where he sketched the recovered parts and faxed his drawings to company specialists, enabling accident investigators to identify some of those missing from the crash site.
The repairs were conducted by a 40-member team of Boeing engineers, inspectors and other members, from June 17 to July 11, 1978. JAL conducted an acceptance inspection of these structural repairs in accordance with the company standard, the official accident report said. The inspection comprised verification that each repair item had been accomplished as contracted, attendance at system function tests, confirmation of post-repair functional performance by test flight and a check of work records submitted by Boeing. Test flights were conducted by JAL and were attended by airworthiness engineers from the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB). JCAB representatives inspected the repair plan, the process of repair by Boeing based on work records and the post-repair aircraft condition.
The accident report said that by 1987, the following safety improvements had been identified, begun or completed: empennage design changes so that 747 and 767 aircraft would have protection against catastrophic failure if a significant pressure buildup occurs in the normally unpressurized empennage; protection of the integrity of all four hydraulic systems under this condition; re-evaluation of the fail-safe validity of aft pressure bulkhead designs on transport category airplanes; evaluation of aft pressure bulkhead repair procedures; revision of visual inspection programs for the aft pressure bulkhead to add other methods to detect the extent of possible multiple-site fatigue cracking; and bulletins to increase awareness of people responsible for engineering approval of repairs about potentially catastrophic consequences of concealed and undetected human errors.
Sites include the Ueno Village Memorial Park, which contains an interment vault, engraved names of passengers and crewmembers killed, and a another monument sculpted to represent hands pressed together in prayer; the Osutaka Mountain trail, marked with a plaque containing excerpts from commemorative remarks by former U.S. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman James E. Burnett Jr.; the Flight 123 monument at the crash site; and a prayer bell.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Anne Armstrong, the Compassion Party's candidate for governor and a leader in a Christian sect that uses marijuana in religious services, faced new drug charges Thursday. So too, did her partner, Alan Gordon, a candidate for attorney general.
State police charged the pair after a search of their home at 99 Hudson Pond Rd., West Greenwich, where police say they seized 48 pounds of marijuana.
This search warrant was the result of a complaint and investigation into the strong odor of marijuana emanating from their property. A 15-year-old was in the house at the time of the search warrant.
Both Armstrong and Gordon were charged with possession of marijuana in excess of five kilograms, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The pair's stance on marijuana has sparked past run-ins with law enforcement and more than one court lawsuit.

In my most recent post, I shared that my word for 2018 is PEACE. It is our ultimate goal for this year, not only to make better efforts to calm our frenzied pace, but to feel a bit more inner peace as we navigate the busy world around us.
This is an important goal, but it is also quite lofty. And, even as I published that last post, something didn't quite sit well with me. It took me a few days to determine exactly what felt off about using this word to guide us through the year. It seemed, after all, like a reasonable aspiration, even if it might be difficult to accomplish.
Then I happened upon one of those inspirational quotes that seem to be a dime a dozen these days. I wish I had taken a screen shot so that I could not only share the exact wording, but credit the author. But it didn't click for me until after the fact, at which time it clicked everything into place. The sentiment was that we need to stop making plans around our end-goal, but rather make goals to create better habits that will help achieve that goal.
It is a much more intentional motto and one that I believe will allow me to begin to create habits for change. It's so easy as a working mother to allow life to drag you from meetings to soccer games, from birthday parties and family get-togethers and PTA meetings back to business trips and presentations and conference calls. We want to feed our kids healthy, organic everything, but end up hoping that a Flintstones vitamin will make up the difference (and then feel guilty about that ... along with a laundry list of other self-proscribed failures).
I don't know about you, but I constantly fee like I am not doing enough, or I am not spending enough time in the right places. When I am at work, I should be having lunch at the elementary school. When I am running a child to soccer or gymnastics, I should also be answering a few emails from every parking lot or pick-up line. It's a lifestyle that never seems to have a pause button, much less an option to power off.
She was tired of the world around her dragging her through life.
She was tired of living each moment from one obligation to the next.
She was tired of never having a moment to rest or relax or breathe.
She was tired of spending days according to everyone else's agenda.
And so, she designed a life that she loved.

The Travelling Dane May 25, 2019 2 Comments
"Should I ever crumble to dust, rebuild my walls you must."
Sound like Yoda, but it's not. What World Heritage Site did say it; you can read in the end of this article.
The scene was devastating, when 850 year old oak planks burned to a black pile of ashes, the day Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris burned. No matter how much money is collected, the beams cannot be replaced. Right now, the big debate is whether the church should be rebuild as it was, or should the only 100 year old spire be a contemporary construction? Suggestions go from a pool to a forest, since Macron said he was open to a "modern approach". If you can reconstruct – should you? And will it be the same authentic experience for us visitors?
TO RECONSTRUCT OR
NOT TO RECONSTRUCT
Several monuments and cities around the world are not what they used to be. Even several UNESCO World Heritage Sites are not as original as you might think. I work at a partly reconstructed Site and have visited 125 sites, and we frequently discuss originality and authenticity.
The question of reconstruction is getting more urgent as the destruction of World Heritage Sites are occurring more than ever – by war or natural disasters.
Notre Dame 1 year before it burned
Let's visit some of the most famous reconstructed sites, we travel for today: the bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the old centre in Warsaw, Poland and the House of Blackheads in Riga, Latvia.
Here's why you shouldn't visit these 3 reconstructed World Heritages Sites & why you should – and if it's worth it in the end!
The famous and iconic bridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina is part of the World Heritage Site of the Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar. Stari Most is the origin of the city's name.
WHY NOT TO VISIT STARI MOST
As the stones of the bridge shows, this is not an ancient bridge. Most of the historic area and the old bridge was destroyed in the war in the 1990's. (Guide to the war traces in Sarajevo) With the help of UNESCO it's now almost rebuilt.
The architecture here represents a symbol of tolerance: a shared life of Muslims, Christians and Jews for more than four centuries. But this is not the bridge, that connected a city full of different cultures. It's not the bridge, that saw Mostar developing in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman town and the building of its characteristic Turkish houses. It's not even the bridge, that was so popular in the 19th and 20th century as part of the Austrio-Hungarian empire.
War destroyed all of these historic footsteps. A city area, that grew out of necessity and cultural meetings are now deliberately constructed to present one specific idea. You get the first part, when you visit. You don't get the second one.
WHY VISIT STARI MOST
Well, for the reasons above: Architecture as a symbol of tolerance. Mostar and the bridge is not a World Heritage Site due to what is lost, but what is rebuilt. The now new old bridge and the city is a "symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities".
Even if it's fake – no smoke without a fire. The reconstruction wouldn't be here unless the real deal had been. The area is reconstructed using the same materials, old craftmanship and as true to the original as possible. Around the bridge the city still has a mixed cultural vibe. East meets west -as they say in the capital Sarajevo (which by the way is more interesting than Mostar).
Would it have been an equally big tourists attraction if they had built a new city and bridge? Definitely not.
NEW OLD WARSAW
The Historic Centre of Warsaw covering Old Town Market, townhouses, the city walls, the Royal Castle, and important religious buildings is a World Heritage Site.
REASONS NOT TO VISIT WARSAW
From Polin Museums
The old historic centre of Warsaw – is not old. Again war plays a devastating role in the destruction of cultural heritage.
In August 1944 – as a revenge for a failed uprising – 85% of Warsaw's old centre was destroyed by the Nazis. 85%! This is of course a gruesome story with many interesting historical events (read more on the museums in Warsaw telling that story). But following, it also means that almost everything is a reconstruction and not the actual old town. Almost like a theatre setting, like it could have been build anywhere to resemble a medieval European town. The fact that locals haven't lived here for centuries is clearly felt.
WHY VISIT WARSAW ANYWAY
Winding medieval streets, pastel coloured houses of merchants, charming small squares with mermaids, a royal castle and old city walls to keep the enemy out. Warsaw was an important city from 1300, became the capital in 1500s and was a centre for culture and arts in 1700s. Until WWII, it was considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
Just like Mostar bridge, Warsaw has been reconstructed to look like the original as much as possible. And even more than Mostar the reason for being a World Heritage Site is the reconstruction and not the original itself. "It is an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century."
Quite impressive, it took only 5 years to recreate the old centre and the building was supported by the locals. If you didn't know it was new, you couldn't tell. Oblivion is a bliss!
HOUSE OF BLACKHEADS
The House of Blackheads in the Latvian capital of Riga is part of the Historic Centre of Riga. I highly recommend a Baltic weekend getaway in surprisingly nice Riga!
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T VISIT
Again war and again the Nazis, but this time 3 years earlier: In 1941 during WWII, the Nazis also bombed the Latvian capital Riga. The House of the Blackheads – the most beautiful house in the city – and city hall and other buildings in Riga was demolished. What a treasure lost. Most of the medieval city was destroyed by war or fire.
Today, it's one of the largest attractions in the old town of Riga. Historically, it was build to promote entrepreneurship, and it's first mentioned in 1343, but many ornaments were added in the 16th century. But this is not the building, where the Brotherhood of Blackheads or the Blackheads Company – a guild for unmarried merchants and foreigners – came to meet. It's not where they partied under crystal chandeliers and stained glass windows. And not where you had a chat with the other merchants taking tobacco from your snuffbox among the portraits of the nobility.
The old town house is completely reconstructed and is now a setting you can rent for your wedding or as a business venue. But it's just not the same as an actual authentic original old building.
WHY YOU SHOULD STILL VISIT
Riga was a major Hanseatic city like Lübeck and Visby in the 13th and 15th century. The trade means a steady and large influx of money. The medieval centre reflects the city's earlier prosperity, but it continued to build.
Just like the other two, the house is only part of a larger site from more than one period. "The medieval and later-period urban planning structure of the Historic Centre of Riga, as well as the quantity and quality of Art Nouveau architecture, which is unparalleled anywhere in the world, and the 19th century wooden architecture make it of Outstanding Universal Value."
The Baltic capital is a surprisingly charming city with more to offer than you think at first. The the finest collection of Art Noveau buildings in Europe (and that's including Vienna) is worth the entire trip.
My own reconstructed site Roskilde Cathedral. Part of the roof and a 600 year old spire burned 50 years ago. Just like Notre Dame.
IT'S A BAD IDEA
There are so much original cultural heritage to see
If we just rebuild everything, it looses it's value.
Nobody gets the idea behind their nominations
We forget their vulnerability
AUTHENTICITY?
After an earthquake in Kathmandu in 2016, reconstruction began on the World Heritage Site of Bouddhanath Stupa. But UNESCO raised concerns about the reconstruction of historical monuments through questionable process and the use of unoriginal materials. In the Stupa, they are using concrete. According to the UNESCO Heritage conservation professionals have traditionally been opposed to reconstruction of sites. The reason behind is it's not authentic and can falsify history to the visitors and create something entirely new, that never existed.
The guidelines states: "In relation to authenticity, the reconstruction of archaeological remains or historic buildings or districts is justifiable only in exceptional circumstances. Reconstruction is acceptable only on the basis of complete and detailed documentation and to no extent on conjecture."
And an added problem: When the argument no longer is the historical value of the site, but the idea behind the reconstruction – I will bet you anything that the point is lost on most visitors. If World Heritage Sites changes into a celebration of a good intentions- where's the line?
IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME
But in my opinion, it will always be false reconstruction. No matter how precise measures or detailed drawings you have of Warsaw and Notre Dame. I might be biased working in the museum, but old stuff is just different than new stuff. It's not the same, and it can feel like a theatre setting as in the case of Warsaw or a tourists attraction as the house of Blackheads. Seeing a monument erected without power tools, in stones made by local clay in an oven, by people who haven't heard of capitalism, globalism or even Gorillas (the animal) are just different than the remake.
The completely reconstructed temple of Hatshepsut in Egypt
And worse, it might make people forget what happened (in many cases war) and that cultural heritage can be lost. The partly destroyed, but not reconstructed Genbaku Dome at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in Japan reminds every visitor of the bomb. And maybe in a more powerful way than fully reconstructed. We just have to take great care at the stuff we got.
I'S A GREAT IDEA
It's not only the monument, but also the idea
They still teach about history and mankind
War and terrorists shouldn't decide which history survives
They remind us cultural heritage is fragile
FOR PEACE'S SAKE
In both cases of Warsaw and Mostar, the UNESCO underlined, that the reconstruction itself is a story of reconciliation, cooperation and peace. I get that, since that's what UNESCO and World Heritage Sites are for. Creating peace through cultural understanding. UNESCO has in fact changed their opinion towards a more positive position in regards to reconstructed World Heritage. The change began with the reconstruction of the old centre of Warsaw and later the Mostar bridge. Both sites got dispensions due to exceptional circumstances.
Compared to a non-existent site, a reconstructed still learns us about history. Even though old Warsaw is mainly a new version- I still came back from my trip much wiser.
INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION
Another reason for being more pro reconstruction, is that deliberate destruction of cultural heritage by terrorists are occurring more and more often now. And if we never reconstruct the lost cultural heritage, everything could be lost (in theory). And when we loose the best mankind has ever produced – we loose our history and identity. And I have to admit – now that old Aleppo is destroyed alongside Palmyra and all the traces of our civilizations early history – I would like to see a reconstruction, when I can't see the real thing.
Maybe the argument made used against reconstruction can also be used for it: If you know it's reconstructed, you become aware of the fragility of the site. It reminds you that our cultural heritage is only here, if we value it and protect it.
Kronborg Castle: after a big fire in 1629 it was reconstructed almost exactly as before
And on a side note: meticulous reconstruction can create respect for craftsmanship such as woodcarving and help keep immaterial cultural heritage such as old techniques alive. In Roskilde Cathedral, we always use the best of the best, and often have to get workers from outside Denmark to find someone, who knows the old techniques or can develop a new solution in an medieval setting.
CONCLUSION: IT'S COMPLICATED!
4 thumbs up vs. 4 down! Sure, I'll keep visiting reconstructed World Heritage Sites. But I will always place a higher value to the original.
The definition of a site is having "outstanding universal value", which technically could be a completely new build place monument – but it never is. Because how can you show the importance until some time later?
FROM MONUMENT TO IDEA But it seems, the argument shifts from the (lost) historical monument to the idea it represented, and what the reconstruction represents. But this creates a lot of grey areas. A reconstructed Mostar still shows the unique architecture developed by intercultural meetings. But does a reconstructed Warsaw really tells any traveller about human resilience? Only if you know the story behind. I bet a lot of tourists just think, that this is very old. And then the actual point is missed.
Painted in Tanum Sweedn. to easier see them.
It makes sense to reconstruct a destroyed World Heritage Site like Notre Dame, but I thinks it's problematic to make them World Heritage Sites after the reconstruction. But I do agree with UNESCO, that if a place is rebuild, at least it need to be as respectful of the original as possible. But maybe it should loose its status as World Heritage. Like in the case of the Stupa in India. Nobody wants a cheap copy. But it's never simple, and something is said for seeing reconstruction as new great work, since the aim of the sites is not only to preserve, but also to tell their stories. Even through reconstruction.
Riga's House of the Blackheads gets the final word in this (as they had the first). Once written on the gate of the house; the words have now been fulfilled!

When I was in Egypt I was so happy to be able to walk through ancient temples and learn about their historical, cultural and technological significance, but evidence of reconstruction was everywhere, and I just couldn't decide if I liked that or not. On one hand, it was awesome to be able to see what the temples may have looked like thousands of years ago when they were first constructed, but at the same time, there was beauty and history in seeing them as partial or complete ruins. I also had similar debates with myself when I visited Philae Temple and Abu Simbel as these temples had been meticulously pulled a part and put back together again in near by locations to prevent them from becoming destroyed by the damming of the Nile. Even though they contained genuine building materials, they were not in their original locations.
Thank you for providing an insightful and balanced debate on this. It was a great piece to read.
The Travelling Dane May 25, 2019 at 22:18
Thank you so much. I feel the same way. And the funny thing is the whole UNESCO World Heritage thing started with the Abu Simbel monument in danger of being flooded. So in a way, it started with a reconstruction of some sort. Good point.

Andrea Canning of Dateline reports on the brutal attack of 17-year-old Brittani Marcell. The high school teenager who worked at a sunglasses kiosk at the Cottonwood Mall in Albuquerque, New Mexico, left school on September 11, 2008, to go home and have lunch with her mother Diane Marcell. (Brittani's parents were divorced; Brittani had been living with her father at the time.) When Diane came home, she found her daughter on the floor, covered in blood. A man stood near Brittani holding a shovel. When the man ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, Diane ran outside the front of the house and screamed for help. The man fled from the back of the house.
In July 2018, a judge sentenced Hansen to the maximum of 18 years in prison. Brittani Marcell said: "Eighteen years isn't enough but it's a start." She added, "I don't think I'll ever find out why he did this, at all." But her family intends to move on now. (Brittani's father passed away in 2013, before Hansen was arrested. See tribute below.) After Hansen's sentencing, Brittani told her local TV station that she's interested in a career in journalism, forensics, or would like to be an advocate for crime victims. Dateline airs Fridays at 9pm on NBC.

Want to make a fortune in marketing?
At least they got 'Andrew' right. One out of three isn't too bad and the surnames are all spot-on. Good work. Were they joined by anyone else on this track day?
Dear Lord. Even we know that's not his surname and the only thing we know about cars is that they're bastards who let you down every now and again.
Maybe this is ultra-sophisticated marketing, targeted at pedants who run sports websites.
Is this article meant to be funny?
Is John.Smith your name or the brand that you're marketing?
I don't think 'John' has ever read KC before.
For that, I discard him.
Best post of the year KC – had the office in stitches. And then 'John's' comment made it all the better.
None of those people are me!
If an obscure blog post gets three or more tweets, can you tell Jaguar that the marketing campaign has 'gone viral'?
Seriously, everyone knows the quotes in press releases are put together by a PR person, but to suggest the he mentioned 4 selling points of the car in one sentence is clearly taking all cricket fans for idiots!
This was one of our favourite press release quotes, Cricket Burble.
Yep, certainly think that beats the Jaguar one!!
Has Strauss been having problems finding a car that he can fit his cricket bag in? I might suggest that he hasn't been looking hard enough, because I'm fairly sure that 99% of all cars can fit his cricket bag in without any of the problems he implies he has.
Anyway, enough of this. If we're in a discarding mood, I discard the Jaguar Marketing Division for not putting enough effort into their press release. It's naff, but it's not supremely naff. Why didn't they give their stooges some cricket terminology to shoe-horn into their statements?
I bet John.Smith has been hit for six by this website – or maybe bowled over by a googly thrown by this website.
Fight fire with fire, KC.
Whenever women are involved, there'll be Maidens – and people in press releases are often Stumped – or Not Stumped – by stuff.
Let's not be too judging of John Smith. He might be an Australian, and I'm pretty sure that finding the funny side of anything is a bit tricky for an Australian today.
I work with the Barmy Army and saw your post. Thats hillarious!
That comment from Hayley is some post-modern head phuck.
And she can't use apostrophes.
Can I discard more than one person in a day? Is that cruel/allowed?
I do like the pic of the 3 misspelt heroes – they all have their cardies tied round their waists though – is this what racing drivers do?
If you have not seen the advert for people who make people not bald anymore, which features Artball Vaughan and Shane Warne playing poker with pictures of people who've had their rugs done, please watch it and write something funny on the topic. If this is a stretch, just watch it. You won't regret it, I promise. It's maybe more cringeworthy than the one with Dirk Nannes doing a dance.
"I see your Gregg Chappell, and I raise you Graham Gooch".
Two discards in one day is both cruel AND allowed. However, John might be an Australian (aww, poor thing), and Hayley has the BEST JOB IN THE WHOLE OF THE WHOLE WORLD.
Basically she gets to browse cricket websites all day, carefully waiting for exactly the right moment to insert a subtle piece of marketing into the thread. Then she can play her cunning mind-games with us all by beautifully disguising her advert with both her lack of grammatical precision and the absence of a sub-editor. Seeing through this level of word play takes a brilliant mind and a vast amount of skill and control. Not everyone can BOOK WITH US FOR THE ASHES YOU BASTARDS see through it like I can.

How to make the happy; or, curse you Mary! Part 2
After the Llorona CWC critique on Monday I got to thinking about what Mary said about the story being dark. Considering that the story opens with a murder/suicide, I would say she has a point.
But now I'm in a quandry on how to balance the story. See, the story ends*, if not happily, then at least hopefully. How do I balance the light/dark sides? It has to start dark, because the whole idea is that the family that I'm writing about comes out of this dark period 'into the light', as it were. However, will a reader throw the book down in disgust because the story is too depressing to continue?
There was much argument about The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, being way too dark–opening as it does with the rape and murder of a twelve/thirteen year old girl. That story is saved, at least for me, because it's narrated by the little girl from heaven…so you know at one level that she's okay before you even find out what horrible things happen to her, plus you have that youthful voice making it seem less jarring.
I have no such balance at the moment.
Right now I'm not gonna worry too much and just see what comes out. That way I can see if there's a spot of light somewhere later that can come in earlier.
But it's still a bit of a worry.
*Story ending disclaimer: I won't really know how it ends until it ends.

Curse you, Mary!
My plan was to take it easier for May. Because Mary was gonna do all the hard work and submit a full manuscript. But noooo! Now I've gotta do the pages that I wasn't gonna hafta do. And I have to finish the round story, because I didn't do the hard work I was supposed to last month. How is it everything comes to a head like that?
You know what my plan is, though?
To do nothing but read this first week going into May. I went a little nuts at the library and so have to finish reading–and I haven't really read much in a while. Must recharge batteries. Then rip into the writing.
So, May plan:
Read a lot.
Write a lot.
See what happens.
Oh, and critique a lot because this was the big three-fer month for CWC and I've got three for UGWP.
Lots of stuff to do.

Short story hook question
There's been lots of talk about how important a good hook is for a novel–because that leads to better query letters, etc., and that way people have a good grip on what you're writing.
But how about with short story queries/submissions? As a rule, you put your whole story into the mix and let the magazine decide based on the story. Some writers don't even put a cover letter in their submission package, let alone worry about a hook. However, would they be better served with a cover letter telling all pertinent details of self and story (word count, etc.) along with a hook line like the one you'd use for a novel? Obviously, the sentence would be shorter, at the very least.
Dear SuperMagazine,
Enclosed please find "The Story Aaron Told", a short story of 2,000 words. It's a story-within-a-story about two writers figuring out the mystery of 'where stories come from' as they decide the fate of Paolo, their character, and the twin babies he sews together.
Etc. so on a so forth,
Jenny SuperWriter
When I was an editor, I admit to not reading all short story submissions to the end and disregarding 'animal' poems out of hand. Sometimes I didn't even get past the first paragraph of a story before going, "Not happening". I realize so many things depend on the writing of the story itself. But what if I'd had a really great hook telling me what the story was about? Would I have finished some of those disregarded stories? Would the writer have turned it all around and impressed me?
What do you guys think?–and how have you submitted short stories? Cover letter? No cover?
My brilliant plan is brilliantly redacted–
The idea was to read the round-story (I guess we should call it the Round Novel now, because there's a lot to it at this point) and then finish in a brilliant flash of writing.
As I was going through the story, however, I started editing as I went along–never a good thing if you want to progress. My theory was that I'd get a good grasp and maybe find the lines that needed to be tied up. This happened.
But remember: several people have written this novel.
There were the moments where I went "What the hell?" There are whole meandering chapters but, to make life more difficult, those same chapters generally hold a tidbit of information that drives the rest of the main line. Some chapters are maddeningly longer and some maddeningly shorter than others. So some are going to have to be melded. Some sections would fit better toward the beginning. As I'm going through, I have some really great, detailed ideas for how to get this thing in shape. And it'll be funny and cohesive (for those of you who have read this, please believe that this is possible!).
Here's the thing. I figured I had enough time to read, get a general editorial idea, and still have time to finish the book. But I only got the first two done because (surprise!) we have over two hundred pages of material…and that takes longer to sort through than you think.
So, my brilliant, overachieving idea is gonna hafta wait another month. Sorry Scooby Gang!
A full request!
Hello, ladies and gents,
I just wanted to jump up and down for a moment because an agent has requested the full manuscript for Following Julia Roberts!
Whether or not anything comes of it is beside the point right now, because I'm assuming that everyone has their fingers crossed. *Peering at everyone's hands* It's my first full request!
Commencing with the jumping for joy….
Mentor of the Month: Julia Alvarez: Feeding the Sea and Piggybacking on Deb's "Shortcuts"
"Certainly none of us serious writers of Latino origin wants to be a mere flash in the literary pan. We want to write good books that touch and move all our readers, not just those of our own particular ethnic background. And speaking for myself, I very much agree with the advice given to writers by Jean Rhys, 'Feed the sea, feed the sea.' The little rivers dry up in the long run, but the sea grows. What matters is the great body of all that has been and felt and written by writers of different cultures, languages, experiences, classes, races."
–Julia Alvarez, "On Finding a Latino Voice" from The Writing Life: Writers on How They Think and Work
On Deb's blog, she discusses the idea that a writer should, well, write for writings sake. Not for financial gain, not for recognition, not for awards. Writing should be it's own reward, basically. And I totally, totally agree.
I think it goes even a little further. I think it's like Julia Alvarez states in the above quote: we want to move people. What you, as a writer, have control over is the honesty and quality of your writing. So I say you should not only write, but endeavor to write well. Are your readers only going to be your critique group? Then try your damndest to make that group laugh/cry/scream with horror. Don't make it a half-hearted attempt. (This doesn't mean you can't turn in first drafts, by the way, as long as you've put thought and work into those first drafts. I'm not talking editing, I'm talking heart.)
This, in my opinion, is what 'feeds the sea'. Imagine if Emily Dickinson had gotten too disheartened by the one editor she'd sent her work to (which he sort of accepted at a point or two in her three-or-four-published-poems career) and had just stopped writing altogether? And I don't think anyone would call E.D. a 'little river'. Even if she wasn't published after her death, don't you think her family was not-a-little-awed by what they found?
So go write. And write what you want. And love it.

Mentor of the Month: Julia Alvarez: The Secret Life
"I was embarassed by my ethnicity, which rendered me colorful and an object of derisioin to those who would not have me be a part of this culture…and so I started to have a secret life, which perhaps is what started me on the road to becoming a writer."
–Julia Alvarez "On Finding a Latino Voice" from The Writing Life: Writers on How They Think and Work
I am not a Latino writer, I'm a white girl raised as an Army brat. I have never been ridiculed or teased for the color of my skin (perhaps for the color of my hair…). I have never had to reconcile living in two different cultures–though you can make the argument that a military base is a different culture, even though it does create its own community–but something resonates with me when Alvarez says that her differences forced her to create a secret life.
I think all writers experience this to one extent or another. Without our secret worlds, with our secret friends, we couldn't come up with our stories, our settings, our characters, or our own, original voices.
When I was little, I didn't feel pretty enough (even when I was really little–like four or five) or smart enough or cool enough. I felt like an outsider. Books became my love. If I was told to clean my room, I insisted that I had to 'organize my books', which took all day because I stopped to read every single one before I put them away. My head was filled with happy little fairy tales, and later with some wonderfully horror-inducing plotlines and my room was never clean.
These little worlds/mental stories helped me when I was teased, or when I felt left out. I think this is a defense mechanism that helps to build and develop a writer. It's something that's done automatically in our brains. And you could never speak about what you came up with in your head because people would 1. think you were insane, or 2. make fun of you. It was necessary to keep that space private.
Now I put a lot of those secret pieces onto paper and I've discovered that I don't need to hide it, I don't need to be afraid that people will make fun of it. As I grow as a writer, I grow more confident because I understand that there's a whole lot of people that think the same way I do. Later on in the essay, Alvarez explains that through her writing, or her desire to write, she finds more people like herself. She doesn't say so in the essay, but you can tell from the writing that, by meeting these other people and doing the writing work, she grew in confidence too. And let me tell you, if I ever write anything close to what Alvarez or Maxine Hong Kingston or Sandra Cisneros writes, I will die a happy, happy writer.

Prisons probably aren't the first
place you'd expect to find organic
gardens or beekeeping. But in some
prisons in western Washington, inmates
are being taught new skills and getting
involved in conservation work. As Sadie
Babits found out, inmates say they're
restoring their own lives by helping save
native prairies and growing veggies:
https://environmentreport.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/feature_babits_100709.mp3
Stafford Creek Prison would feel like a college campus if it weren't for the series of
heavy metal gates and the barbed wire.
(sound of mechanical gates opening)
2,000 prisoners are held at this medium security facility. A select group of them
who've been cleared on good behavior get to work in what's called the Hub. It
doesn't sound too exciting – until you spot the greenhouses.
(sound of door opening and fans)
Inside the largest greenhouse, there are hundreds of yellow plastic tubes. Three
inmates are filling these tubes with dirt. They are planting seeds to help restore
native grasses.
Toby Erheart is one of these prisoners.
"I don't know if what we're doing will make a huge impact on the world, but I know
it's making a huge impact on this project. It will change the face of the prairies in
western Washington."
This is the project's first year. The goal is to grow 200,000 plants for the prairies.
It's getting hot and muggy inside the greenhouse. So Inmate Jeff Harrigan heads
outside. He leans against the greenhouse as he talks about what it's like to grow
these plants.
"It's been a learning experience for me cause I've never done nothing like this on the
Harrigan has been in and out of prison six different times.
"I've just learned doing other things than stealing and doing drugs makes you feel
better about yourself. I feel like I'm putting something back, something that is
saving something, 'cause it's saving the butterflies from what they told us."
Harrigan says he's never planted anything before until coming to Stafford Creek.
"And actually, it's kind of cool cause since coming here I asked my girlfriend
something I never asked her before, what her favorite flowers were, just cause I had
started planting flowers. (laughs)"
Turns out marigolds and hens and chicks are her favorites. Two plants, Harrigan
says, that can be found around the prison. When he's not planting native grasses,
Harrigan works in the prison's vegetable garden.
"Right here, this is stuff that we've planted. There's onions, radishes, beans."
So far, he's helped harvest peas, garlic and 200 pounds of zucchini. The kitchen staff
took that squash and turned into zucchini bread for the inmates.
Harrigan talks about how hard it was for him keep a job when he was outside
prison. Drugs always got in the way. Now he says he feels like he's doing something
that matters and he hopes this experience in prison will help him when he gets out.
"Actually, it's teaching me better work ethics too, cause I've never really had them
out there. I never really kept a job probably because I didn't like it, you know."
Harrigan says he does like gardening. He says he now knows how to germinate
seeds and how to get plants to take off – skills he says could help him get a job once
he's back in society.
"For a person like me, who still wants to feel human and still got good parts in me,
this stuff brings you back to reality."
He's got another year and half to go before he's free. Harrigan says he's already told
his girlfriend, when he does get out, they have to plant a garden – something he
hopes will keep him from coming back to Stafford Creek.

Some industries and businesses have
been greening up their operations to
save money. Now, another big industry
is getting into the act – American prisons.
California has announced 16 new green
energy projects at prisons that they
say will save millions. And prisons
in Indiana, Virginia, and Nevada are
installing solar panels and wind turbines.
But, as Sadie Babits reports, the state
of Washington is taking their green
program a few steps further:
(sound of cutting an onion)
Jason Chandler has already spent four years behind bars for a crime he won't talk
about. He recently was hired to work here in this organic garden at Stafford Creek
Prison. Before this, Chandler says, he was working here as a janitor.
Babits: "What are you doing?"
Chandler: "Cutting the onions off to prepare for the kitchen. Just cutting the roots
and the stock off. Least the winds going my eyes ain't watering."
The Stafford Creek prison in western Washington has this garden, a recycling center,
greenhouses, and a beekeeping operation. Chandler says working these jobs beats
mopping floors and cleaning toilets.
"I had to ask my counselor to put me on the list. There are quite a few people on a
waiting list to get positions like this and they got by an application basis and, if
you're willing to work, it's a good job to have."
It's a job made possible through the Sustainable Prisons Project – a partnership
between Evergreen State College and the Washington Department of Corrections.
The grant-funded project has been running formally for more than a year. While it's
clear prisoners like these jobs, officials say it's too early to tell whether beekeeping
or growing vegetables will reduce recidivism rates.
But prison officials say that wasn't the project's main goal.
"My early motivation was money, surely money."
Dan Pocholke is the Deputy Director of Prisons. It costs more than $30,000 a year to
house just one prisoner in Washington state. The Department of Corrections was
ordered several years ago to save money by doing things like conserving water and
energy.
To do this, Polcholke says they got help from Evergreen State College to "green"
Cedar Creek – a minimum security facility in Washington. He says they got prisoners
involved in cutting back their water use.
"And we started studying our use rates and our consumption rates and, low and
behold, a year later we had brought our water use rates down by an astonishing
Pocholke says the partnership with the college has another benefit. Prisoners are
learning new skills. And Evergreen State College says one of their goals is being
fulfilled too – to spread environmental science to unlikely places – like prisons.
Some inmates in this program get to do research on everything from raising frogs to
growing native prairie grasses. There's already been a few success stories. One
inmate has gone on to co-author a scientific paper and is now working on a
doctorate degree.
(sound of recycling)
And, while some prisoners are learning new skills, the goal of saving money is also
being met. Stafford Creek prison has cut the amount of garbage they send to
landfills by more than half by recycling.
Inmate Kevin Madigan says he'd like to keep even more out of the landfill.
"The more self sustaining you can become, the less burden you are on the people out
there. And that in itself is a good thing."
Madigan rips open a clear plastic bag and dumps the garbage onto this conveyer
belt. He gets paid 42-cents an hour to work here, but for him it goes beyond just a
Madigan says it's one way for him to make amends for all the trouble he caused
outside these prison walls.

pollution, shoreline erosion, and other ecological lake issues at the lab.
(sound inside castle)
The scientists who worked in the lab used to live in the structure next door, known as
Cooke's Castle. The large home was built in the 1860's by the family of Jay Cooke.
Cooke was not a scientist. He was a banker and investment broker, and he played a
major role in raising money for the Union Army during the Civil War. Cooke came up
with the idea of selling war bonds and raised a billion dollars for the Union Army.
Cooke bought the seven-acre Gibraltar Island in 1864 and had his summer home built on
it. Ironically, while the Union fund-raiser was vacationing on his island, Confederate
soldiers were imprisoned on nearby Johnson's Island.
Retired Ohio State Administrator John Kleberg has been researching Jay Cooke. He says
Cooke was an avid hunter and fisherman, so Kleberg suspects he would be pleased to see
the science lab there today.
"There is a penciled correspondence where Cooke is complaining about the reduction in
the population of the fish, the bass specifically, I think, because people are net fishing,
you know where they're taking too many fish out of the lake and the bass population
therefore is decreasing. And that's not the way you ought to protect the bass population.
So obviously in that context he was sensitive about the need for conservation and how we
fish and how we protect fish populations. So I suspect he would be very pleased with the
kind of work that's being done."
Cooke's daughter sold Gibraltar in 1925 to Franz Stone, whose family donated it to Ohio
Outside, the four-story limestone turret's crenellated top gives the appearance of a castle.
The inner rotunda walls have held up surprisingly well over 140 years.
But after years of use, the building is in need of some major repairs. Lab Director
Reutter wants to renovate the 15 room building into a conference center.
"It's interesting too, Cooke's, one of his sons, was an amateur photographer, and we've
got great photos of how the place looked at that time, so obviously that's our goal to take
it back."
(ambient sound inside castle runs underneath this section.)
The castle includes a spiral staircase and there's a gorgeous wood-paneled library that
overlooks the bay…
Reutter: "So, obviously, this would be my office…" (laughter)
Ohio State University is looking for money to make renovations. But that's proved
challenging. The castle will never be open to the public. Lab Director Reutter says that's
not its purpose…
"Oh no, this would not be used for tourists, this is an education and an outreach facility,
so it would be a conference center but it would be for research conferences, education
conferences, Great Lakes management, this will never be open to the public."
It'll cost two and a half million dollars to make the renovations. If they can find the
money, Reutter and the university say Cooke's castle will become an even more
important research center. One he expects to draw scientists to study the problems facing
the Great Lakes.

Amnesty for Shipwreck Looters
Over the years, people have stolen all kinds of items from shipwrecks in the Great Lakes including nameplates, portholes, and even toilets. One state is now offering people a chance to return these stolen things – no questions asked. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Tamar Charney reports:
To return an item or report a theft from a shipwreck call the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at 800-292-7800.

Over the years, people have stolen all kinds of items from shipwrecks in the
Great Lakes including nameplates, portholes, and even toilets. One state is
now offering people a chance to return these stolen things – no questions
asked. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Tamar Charney reports:
Michigan, like many states in the region, has laws against removing artifacts
from a shipwreck. Penalties in the state can include up to two years in
prison or fines up to 5000 dollars. But for the next couple months, the
state just wants to get some of the stolen stuff back. Lieutenant Timothy
Burks is with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources law enforcement
division.
"The divers refer to these wrecks as underwater museums."
He says souvenir hunters, and people looking to make money selling shipwreck
artifacts are damaging the value of these sites
"If 10 or 20 people take one small porthole soon there's nothing left."
Anyone who returns items to the state of Michigan between now and July 31st
won't be prosecuted. In the case of shipwreck artifacts taken from bottomlands
in other states or provinces, Burk says they'll try to return them to
the place they came from.

DRUG COURTS TRY TO END CYCLE OF ABUSE (Part 1)
According to a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the economic cost of drug-related crime is about fifty billion dollars a year. Much of that amount goes toward incarcerating offenders. But many of these people are nonviolent, low-level drug users… and now, instead of locking them up, some court systems are trying a different approach. In the first of a two part series, the Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Wendy Nelson examines the growing trend of drug courts:

ARE DRUG COURTS THE BEST APPROACH? (Part 2)
In 1989, the country's first drug court was set up in Dade County, Florida. It was designed as a way to reduce prison overcrowding. Today, there are more than three hundred fifty drug courts operating around the country, with another two hundred in the planning stages. But not everyone's happy with that growth. In the second of a two-part series, the Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Wendy Nelson reports that some people are questioning whether courts are the best place to deal with substance abuse:

Please note that if I sent you a friend request, it likely means I want to work with you. If you have mutual interest in working with me, email me and lets shoot. I only shoot TF. I will burn a disc and hand it to you on the spot.
I take pleasure in photography as a passion and have the benefit of enjoying it as a second career. I prefer to focus on models interested in the same as well as building their portfolios.
My experience ranges from head-shots, nature/landscape, and fine art. I work on location or in the studio. I prefer shooting in nature. A peer recently told me, I take what is there and make it more beautiful than reality.
I offer a restricted quantity of shoots. My interests lay in shooting people with interesting lighting and selective focus effects. Serious inquires only please.

The Anderson is pleased to present "Mosque Manifesto" by artist Azra Akšamija. The exhibition features selected objects and proposals developed in relation to the artist's 2015 book, Mosque Manifesto: Propositions for Spaces of Coexistence. "Mosque Manifesto" re-conceptualizes the mosque not as a fixed location or architectural type, but rather as a nomadic, educational and performative social space facilitating both religious and secular programs. As such, it can express the spiritual, socio-cultural, and emotional needs of its community while, at the same time, framing a zone for dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims.

The shapes she uses reference those worn by the sea and allude to the fact that these ubiquitous and non-biodegradable materials will be sadly washing up on our beaches for many years to come.
She originally trained as a jeweller and uses traditional hand tools and techniques. She slowly makes one off pieces, in stark contrast to high speed mass production that we associate with modern plastics.

Ex-NUFC 'wonderkid' scores 18 minute hat-trick in UEFA Nations League – A blast from the past!
October 15, 2020 October 15, 2020 Olly Hawkins	2 Comments
At one point, Haris Vuckic was tipped to be the next big thing at Newcastle United, with us believed to have beaten several European giants to his signature back in 2009.
11 years on from his arrival as a 17-year-old 'wonderkid', he's just enjoyed perhaps his greatest night as a professional footballer, scoring a hat-trick in Slovenia's 4-0 win over Moldova in the UEFA Nations League last night.
The goals – which were scored across just 18 minutes – not only send Slovenia top of their group but also made him the top scorer in League C, with him scoring the winner in their 1-0 win over Kosovo last week.
#MDASVN | 0:4 | G⚽⚽⚽⚽L! Haris Vučkić tudi v drugo natančen z enajstih metrov!#SrceBije | #NationsLeague pic.twitter.com/ojxh4v214B
— NZS | FA Slovenia (@nzs_si) October 14, 2020
After being released by the club in 2017, he swapped Tyneside for Dutch side FC Twente and went on to score a solid 16 goals in 48 games for the Eredivisie side, ending the 2019/20 their top scorer on 11.
He left on a free over the summer, however, and now plays for Spanish second tier side Real Zaragoza.
So, his career may not have taken off quite how some expected it to when he arrived on Tyneside back in 2009, but no one can take away a hat-trick on the international stage for his country!

BykerBill says:
I was a huge fan of Vuckic and thought, like so many other prospects, he wasn't given a chance.
Watching him at Rangers showed he was actually quite limited and essentially only had a left foot but even so he's talented and we should have kept him.
