The Land that Enchants Me So: Picturing Popular Songs of New Mexico
Elizabeth Garrett: Songbird of the Southwest
New Mexico History Museum
"Elizabeth Garrett: Songbird of the Southwest." Elizabeth Garrett (1885-1947) was a remarkable figure in New Mexico's musical history, an accomplished singer, pianist, and composer who is most remembered for writing the official state song, "O, Fair New Mexico." Born four years after her father, Sheriff Pat Garret, famously killed Billy the Kid, she grew up as a ranch girl in southeastern New Mexico and spent much of her life based in that region, most prominently in Roswell. We will look at her remarkable career, in which she triumphed over physical disability, traveled widely, hobnobbed with notables of her era, lent her talents to the Red Cross during two world wars, and earned distinction as a venerated figure in New Mexico's cultural landscape. Several years ago, James Keller unearthed and acquired the only known recording of Elizabeth Garrett, which she made in 1924. Her performance of "O, Fair New Mexico" on that 78-rpm record was unveiled at the opening of "The Land That Enchants Me So" and is included in the exhibition. As a part of this lecture, Keller will offer the first modern hearing of the "B-side" of that record, on which Garrett performs another of her songs, "Señorita," accompanied by a chamber ensemble.
James Keller enjoys a multifaceted career as a writer, lecturer, and curator. He is most widely recognized for his writing about classical music and particularly for his work as the Program Annotator for two of our nation's most esteemed symphony orchestras—the New York Philharmonic, where he occupies an endowed chair and is in his 25th season, and the San Francisco Symphony, where he is now beginning his 20th year. He is also a noted authority on chamber music. He was awarded the prestigious ASCAP–Deems Taylor Award for his writing in Chamber Music magazine, and in 2010 Oxford University Press published his book Chamber Music: A Listener's Guide, which has become the "go-to" reference on the essential chamber music repertoire.
Here in Santa Fe, he served as staff writer at Pasatiempo from 2010 until earlier this year, contributing criticism and features about opera, concert music, recordings, visual arts, theatre, history, and literature. His articles have been published in dozens of newspapers and magazines, including The New Yorker, where he was as a staff writer-editor from 1990 to 2000.
As a musicologist, he has developed an expertise in American popular music of earlier eras and has assembled a vast collection of rare sheet music and musical memorabilia relating to American places, people, and historic events. He has drawn on this to curate museum exhibitions including Singing the Golden State, which viewed the history of California through the prism of old-time popular songs. It was mounted in 2012 at the Society of California Pioneers in San Francisco before embarking on a statewide tour of five further museums. Here at the New Mexico History Museum, he co-curated the current show The Land That Enchants Me So with Meredith Davidson, formerly of the museum's staff. It opened in March 2018 and runs through this September, offering visitors an unusual perspective on our state's history through its multimedia presentation of New Mexico-related sheet music and archival recordings from his personal collection.

Aspiring Athletes Play On with Equipment Kits from Project Play
Sep 9th 2020 In REPORT Newsletter
This story was originally published in the Fall 2020 REPORT Newsletter.
Over the past few years, the Community Foundation, the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, and the Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program have partnered on Project Play — a program that encourages youth to engage in healthy lifestyles through sports and other forms of recreation.
Now, in the age of social distancing, many youth sports leagues, practices, and competitions have been canceled, presenting a challenge for children stuck at home who want to remain active, as well as parents who rely on sports to keep kids motivated and engaged during the school year.
This #ProjectPlayKit was provided to the region's youth in partnership with Detroit City Football Club.
In response, the Project Play team has developed free themed sports kits containing basketballs, jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, and other equipment to encourage at-home recreation.
During the first four weeks that Project Play kits were made available, 17 sites distributed 11,900 kits across seven counties thanks to donations from the Detroit Pistons, DTE Beacon Park, Quicken Loans, Humana, and Grow Detroit's Young Talent.
The donations included kits for soccer courtesy of the Detroit City Football Club, basketballs from the Detroit Pistons, jump ropes and free play activities from Playworks, and strength and conditioning bands from the Detroit Boxing Gym. All kits included information on skills and drills, as well as online videos from each week's partner. These sheets and videos are still available for all to use at projectplaysemi.org/parents.
Additional funds from ESPN were provided to the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, which funded the YMCA so it could extend the distribution of Project Play kits for four more weeks at 15 SportPort sites. The YMCA has begun coordinating the distribution of the Project Play kits and picked up where Project Play SEMI left off.
In total, with funding from the Community Foundation, the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, and the YMCA, Project Play will have helped get 20,400 kits to families across southeast Michigan.
As the program continues, more kits featuring the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, and Detroit Red Wings will be developed and available for socially-distanced distribution at outlets throughout southeast Michigan.
Learn more about the Project Play kits or where to get one.

It rains here almost every night, so it is awful wet around here, won't get out of here with the jitney for some weeks.
We are Farming Rice now a days in full swing, Axel and I am running the old mill we have farmed about 900 sax with it, & Albin & Oscar are running the new mill they are farming our own rice, but have only gotten started.
Our turkey trial which was to be February 17th was postponed until in April sometime no date has been set. Old Reams claimed to be sick on that day, and dad saw him the next day in Gridley so the that looks pretty crooked but he is a wise old owl allright. Dad was in Oroville that day but there was nothing doing about our trial, but he heard a trial of Mrs. Eva Martin used to be a Lash(?) of which I will send with a clipping from the Bee about it.
J.T. Holly was arrested some time ago and a butcher and a Bar Tender in Gridley, put up the bail and he was released, but is again under arrest.
Rolland Lindberg came home Sunday I was up when he come of the train he knew me alright, but didn't get much of a talk with him, he said that he saw you about 5 weeks ago, He sure has changed some, looks like a Captian.

It's to bad that you don't get your discharge, Every-Body sure was raring to see you back, when they found out that you were coming home in a week or two. What became of Les McClogin(?) did he get his discharge? He never writes any more.
We haven't been out to the rice field for about 2 months, but I guess it is all there, it don't worry me. It is awful hard to get any rice land this year we have only got the 40 north of the house so far and that is for sale so we may not have that the first thing we know. Harry Johnson -- Blanche's husband died last Tuesday & she was pretty sick to, both Mr. & Mrs., Dahlstrom are on there way back east. P.J.

Around Warrensburg
Warrensburgh Heritage Trail
2 River Street
Judd House
2 River St.
The Samuel Judd house on River Street. The massive stone entry gate is gone. (Richards Library collection)
The Samuel Judd House is one of the oldest in Warrensburg, being built prior to 1789 when Timothy Stow moved in. It reflects the saltbox design that was the style of many homes of that time. In 1919 Howard Hull purchased the property and he and his wife, Marion, operated a dairy farm (Century Dairy) until after World War II. During the 1930s the Warrensburg Ski Club developed ski slopes, with a rope tow, on the property. Austin and Kitty Perry bought the house and land in 1960, constructed a large barn, and raised and boarded horses. It is now known as the Kit n Kin Ranch. (See also Warrensburg Ski Club.)
The Judd House (2 River Street)
North on Route #9, left of the highway, before coming into the village proper, stands an iron bridge of early vintage, spanning the Schroon at a very-near right angle to the plank road bridge. This bridge connects River Street with Route #9 or Main Street, as it becomes within the village. it is known as Judd Bridge - for Samuel Judd who owned the vast tract of hillside farmland opposite.
On top of the hill stands one of the oldest houses in Warrensurgh, one to the few saltbox type in the area. The exact date this house was built is not know, but was standing when Timothy Stow came to Warrensburgh in 1789. It is said that, at one time, a gristmill operated by James Hutchinson was part of this property. The remains of this former mill can still be seen at the river's edge.
The house and farm were owned, for many year, by the Judd family, Samuel and his descendants. In 1919, returning World War I veteran, Howard Hull, purchased the property. he and his wife, together, operated a dairy farm until after World War II - one of two such farms in the town which served the community long and well. ~Marie Fisher

Question 27: Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered?
I do not know how to answer this question. I am a woman, ineligible for combat.
Question 28: Will you swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any and all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance to the Japanese Emperor or any other foreign government, power, or organization?
I do not know how to answer this question. I was born in Seattle, Washington. I have never had any form of allegiance to the Japanese Emperor, so there's nothing to forswear. I will swear unqualified allegiance to my country when my country frees me and my family.

Julius Irving either ABA or NBA, is a good player, his creative flexible tricky, exaggerated style of play, for the hearts and minds of many fans. His ability to stay in the air, before the emergence of Michael Jordan, is the best in the league, and even Michael Jordan also said that Owen was his childhood idol. The Julius Irving most impressive, the most important "the free-throw line takeoff dunk addition to the NBA Finals in 1980, with a" plate after layup, "are his classic goals . The Julius Irving nicknamed Dr. "J", is said to be derived from the "Professor" in high school, he often called one of his friends, and his friend as "Dr." called Owen.
ABA there are a lot of good players, but Julius Irving is still the league's most outstanding elite, unparalleled in the world on his small forward position. But not only that, he will ConnieHawkins had done on the highlights such as a fly the cupola-dunk performances become the scene of the night must. He was always doing something new: invention, personal show, impromptu performance. He was the first elegant posture and pure skill combined the same time stay in the air up. He is the top superstar of the ABA, and his success in New York, established him in any of the Union, are the most shocking superstar status. great spirit in Century 70's
20, more or less be reflected in Irvine who Irving beyond all this, in a sense, he lead times. imagination, creativity, freedom, and the irresistible power of the 20th century, 70 years wandering aimlessly in the United States, people need this kind of spirit, especially from a black man.

Besides singing and dancing, Inna has brought to life her own magazine, a passion project that she dubs as "one of her dreams and hidden wishes that few people knew about."
InnaMag, which launched August 2019 with a 40-page first issue, is an online magazine where the Romanian singer has the opportunity to interview people in the industry, highlight places to travel, recommend beauty and fashion tips, share never-before-seen photos, and talk about her personal experiences.
"My plan is to have this magazine published once a month and I hope we will manage to have good content, quality photoshoots and great people alongside in this journey," Inna tells Billboard. "This magazine focuses on people I love and admire, but also about me and my journey (music, travel, beauty, fashion etc)," she adds, encouraging her fans to show some love and spread the word.

In its debut issue, Inna recaps her journey at the 2019 Premio Lo Nuestro, spotlights a Q&A with photographer Edward Aninaru, and takes her fans on an adventure through her country, Romania. The magazine also features a two-page spread dedicated to her 2019 album Yo (Roc Nation), which was written in Spanish and is home to experimental music influenced by gypsy rhythms, such as her singles "Te Vas," "Tu Manera" and "Sin Ti."
For issue No. 2, which is slated for a late-September/early-October release, Inna promises a special section for her fans, where they can suggest topics that she can address in the magazine.
As of now, InnaMag is available online only, but Inna is considering a print magazine for the future, Billboard has learned.

In some quarters, George drew praise for wanting the last shot. But he was castigated elsewhere for hammering a teammate.
He's not a winner by saying that (stuff) in public, said Cheap China NFL Jerseys one GM. That's no way to support a teammate, but that's how Paul rolls.
He's been erratic as a playoff performer, and has been called out for his lack of consistency by Indiana team president Larry Bird. But George is famously tougher on teammates than he is on himself, even when the team is winning a few rounds in the playoffs. When the Pacers competed against Miami for the top spot in the East in 2013 and 2014, they had strong veteran leaders like David West and George Hill. If Magic makes a deal for George or signs him as a free agent in 2018, he'll need to import similar strong-willed vets, or else there is a good chance that George's negativity will adversely impact younger teammates.
Chris Paul's season is over, but that doesn't necessarily mean his time with the Clippers is.
Shortly after Los Angeles' Game 7 loss to Utah in its first-round NBA playoff Cheap Custom Hockey Jerseys series, a reporter asked Paul whether he would exercise his early termination option in July.
Paul has played in 76 career postseason games, the most of any player without making a conference finals appearance. That includes a six-year stretch with the Clippers, who, with their loss to the Jazz on Sunday, have failed to make the second round of the playoffs two years running.
It wouldn't be out of the question for Paul to consider leaving the Clippers for a team with a better shot of at least a conference title — and he certainly has that opportunity now that the fourth season of his contract with the Clippers has concluded.
Tony Parker had to be carried off the court Wednesday after injuring his left knee early in the fourth quarter of San Antonio's playoff game against the Rockets.
Parker attempted a running jumper in the lane, but his left knee buckled as he landed on the court at AT&T Center. The 34-year-old veteran guard remained on Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys the floor as action transitioned to the other end of the court following his miss.
Jackson, a 17-year NBA veteran as a player, worked for ESPN six years before leaving to coach the Warriors from 2011-14, just before Steve Kerr took over and led the team to an NBA championship in 2015 and the league's best regular-season record the following season. Since coming back, Jackson has become a member of the network's NBA Finals broadcast team along with fellow former coach Jeff Cheap Baseball Jerseys Kids Van Gundy, analyst Doris Burke and play-by-play man Mike Breen.
He also serves as a regular analyst during the conference finals, NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC and key regular-season matchups.
Mark's expertise as a former head coach and former player, combined with his passion for the NBA, make him one of the best game analysts in the sport, Mark Gross, ESPN senior vice president for production, said in a statement. Mark is beloved by NBA fans and well-respected in the basketball community. Beyond that, he's a terrific teammate to Mike, Jeff, Doris and our entire crew.
Momma, there goes that man . . . again.
At the time, the Clippers couldn't escape the dark cloud of Sterling in the midst of their first-round series against the Warriors, and players faced constant questions about his disparaging comments. They managed to defeat the Warriors in seven games (the last time Golden State was eliminated by a Western Conference team) before facing the dynamic Thunder duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
The NBA has invited more than 60 prospects for June's two-round draft to the combine, which runs from May 9-14 at Chicago's Quest Center.
Last year's No. 1 overall pick, 6-10 forward Ben Simmons, also skipped the combine, which teams use to put prospects through drills but also perform medical checks. Simmons missed his entire rookie season because of ankle and foot injuries.
Ball is among a handful of players considered for the top Cheap Authentic Jerseys pick in this year's draft, along with Washington guard Markelle Fultz, Kansas swingman Josh Jackson, Kentucky guard Cheap NFL Jerseys Paypal De'Aaron Fox and Duke forward Jayson Tatum.
Rockets guard Patrick Beverley suited up for Game 4 of his team's NBA playoff series vs. the Spurs on Sunday shortly after learning of his grandfather's death.
Beverley was visibly shaken during warmups in Houston. Reports Best Site To Buy Cheap Jerseys followed that Beverley's grandfather had died.
Nene has been a major contributor for the Rockets during this postseason, providing big minutes off the bench. He had a 28-point performance in the first round against the Thunder as he went 12-for-12 from the field.
While he wasn't a major factor, averaging about Cheap NFL Jerseys 16 minutes in the series vs. the Spurs, Nene provided valuable depth for Houston as an extra big man. The Rockets will need to find someone else with size to replace him, perhaps forward MontrezlHarrell.
While we know Nene is out for the playoffs, we're not sure what's next for the 34-year-old center. The Rockets said their medical staff is currently reviewing treatment options and will provide an update on his health at a later date.
What happened: The Bulls missed Rajon Rondo, who could be out for the rest of the series with a fractured thumb. The offense was out of sync early, and the Bulls often settled for outside shots and isolation plays rather than ball movement. The Celtics jumped out to a 33-15 lead, shooting 12 of 21 from the field and 7 of 11 from 3-point range in the first quarter. While Chicago did close the gap with a 24-7 run to end the first half, Boston attacked in the second half and never let the Bulls close the gap.
The Raptors' season is one loss away from ending, and All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry will likely be on the sidelines watching with an ankle injury.
I'm probably doubtful, honestly, Lowry said regarding his Game 4 status against the Cavaliers, via ESPN.com. I don't think I'll be able to play. … It's not looking great, but I'm not giving up on it.
Thank God for the NHL playoffs, Barkley said. That's what I be watching in the back instead of these blowouts.
Shaquille O'Neal didn't visibly react to Barkley's comment, but Ernie Johnson dismissed it with a Well, whatever.
It's refreshing to see an analyst — and a former player — offer fair criticism in the booth instead of just spouting the company line that everything is great. But is Barkley going too far with these hot takes ripping the current state of the NBA? In December he said the league is the Best Cheap Jerseys From China worst it's ever been and last season he said the league was full of awful basketball.
NBA and TNT executives surely have some thoughts on the colorful Baseball Jerseys For Sale analyst trashing the league's product. So far, Barkley apparently hasn't crossed the line.
X-factor: Jose Calderon, the 35-year-old journeyman from Spain, logged 20 huge playoff minutes Monday night. Calderon scored 10 points, dropped five dimes and finished a game-high plus-29. Jose Calderon! Plus-29! 2017 NBA playoffs! Calderon replaced Schroder and gave the Hawks a solid option on offense without sacrificing too much defensively. Sure, the Wizards attacked him in a few mismatches, but it wasn't enough to offset what he brought to the table.
With Boston's ability to always surround him with four 3-point shooters — Al Horford, Kelly Olynyk, Amir Johnson and Jonas Jerebko can each step out to the perimeter as centers — it AFL Cheap Jerseys gives the defense a mighty small margin of error in those situations.
Assuming the Bulls can keep games close enough to try and find a solution to Thomas in crunch time, it could make for an interesting first round series. Jimmy Butler is one of the best two-way players in the NBA, and he could find himself checking Thomas down the stretch. Thomas is nearly impossible to slow down in one-on-one situations, but Butler has as good of a shot at it as anyone.
While most of the NBA's pick-and-roll leaders had career years shooting pull-up 3-pointers, DeRozan went about his business as usual. According to Basketball-Reference, 54.5 percent of his shot attempts this season came from the long 2-point range variety. That's up from 46.1 percent last season and down slightly from 56.6 percent two seasons ago. And even though DeRozan didn't make Authentic NFL Cheap Jerseys the most out of the 3-point line like others did, he still ranked in the 84.3 percentile with 0.97 points per pick-and-roll possession.
LaVar Ball just can't help himself.
The outspoken father of former UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball tweeted a message to those who were outraged at the $495 price of Lonzo's signature Big Baller Brand sneakers.
Buyer beware, though — the BBB website says it offers no refunds or exchanges.
Hawks forward Paul Millsap and Wizards forward Markieff Morris just can't seem to get along.
Both players have been edgy toward each other all series, but Morris might have officially lost the battle after his play and comments following Saturday's 116-98 Game 3 loss that still kept the Wizards up 2-1 in the series.
Morris, who only scored nine points on 4-of-14 shooting, took it upon himself to call Millsap out after the game. Nothing says sore loser like calling your opponent crybaby, and Morris did just that.
After missing five weeks with a knee injury toward the end of the regular season, Durant returned to play just four games before suffering a calf injury.
Head coach Steve Kerr realized there is a lot of basketball left to play, and the Warriors are going to play it safe when it comes to Durant's health.
[We want] 100 percent health, Kerr said. If it was Game 7 of the Finals, he'd play because we're not talking about anything that could damage his career. But what we're talking about is something that if potentially could get worse and knock him out for a few weeks, then it's not Cheap New York Giants Jerseys worth it.
Durant understands that the trainers are his friends, even if they don't clear him in time to play Saturday night.
They've got my best interest, Durant said. Obviously, I played through injuries before, but I was out for a month and I came back and got injured again. So I don't want that to happen again if I do push it. I don't want to play one game and sit out another two weeks. So I'm just trying to be smart about it. But also I'm still itching to get out there on the court. I feel good.
Golden State currently leads the series 2-0.
Stay close to the fainting couch as you read this: We had two breaches of baseball etiquette late Wednesday night, and one of them involved Yasiel Puig.
Let's start with Puig. He watched his three-run homer a couple of beats too long for the Mets' liking. The fourth-inning blow gave the Dodgers a 5-1 lead, and LA went on to win 8-2.
Mets first baseman Wilmer Flores jawed at Puig when Puig finally Cheap Jerseys Custom rounded first base. Puig almost stopped his trot to get in Flores' face.
The chance that a Von Steuben Parade — or frankly, any parade — is happening at the same time is unlikely, and "borrowing" a car is unwise, but there are easy substitutes for both. Instead of dancing around and lip syncing to ""Danke Schoen" and "Twist and Shout," head to the closest karaoke bar. Don't joyride. Do go-kart.

Volkswagen delivers design tweaks to 2021 Arteon
The updated Volkswagen Arteon looks similar to its predecessor, but small changes make it feel more modern
The updated 2021 Volkswagen Arteon has been unveiled, sporting some revised design details both on the exterior and interior.
On the outside, the general shape and typical low, wide stance for the Arteon remains. The same clear character line runs uninterrupted around the front and sides of the car, changing to a undercut at the rear to emphasise the arching lip above. The sculpted hood with clear contour lines is the same as on the previous generation, as is the low-sitting grille.
But the grille now features just three horizontal chrome bars, as opposed to four on the previous generation. There are also two additional air intakes on the SE trim variant, while the R-Line models include one large air intake below the grille.
A change to the lights is subtle but significant, with an illuminated bar now running the entire width of the grille, stopping only for the VW badge. The bar acts as an extension of the daytime running lights and modernises the front end. It is available on the SEL R-Line and SEL Premium R-Line variants. The R-Line variants also feature a unique front bumper with a black glossy finish, as well as a small black glossy rear spoiler.
The interior has undergone significant changes, with an entirely new dash panel consisting of more metallic surfaces and subtle air vents. A textured aluminium strip and the chrome underneath both wrap around to the doors, as does the single line of stitching on the upper section of the dash. This provides a cockpit-like feel for the front occupants. R-Line models include translucent sections to the dash with embedded ambient lighting.
Instead of the typical three climate control dials, an all-new touch-sensitive system sits under the central screen which includes a "touch slider" to provide intuitive temperature control. It looks slick, but touch buttons for climate controls can lead to a frustrating user experience if the haptic feedback is not consistent. The screen itself looks the same as on the old Arteon, and is encased in the same glossy black metal casing.
R-Line models come with Nappa leather seats and contrast stitching on the steering wheel as well as the gear stick. A stitched leather finish also covers half of the doors, adding to the sense of continuity throughout the interior.

LA Times Reporter Accuses Journalists Covering Ukraine of Bias
If I told you that the media coverage of the war in Ukraine is riddled with bias, what would you say? What if I also told you that a story about Ukraine should point out that what's happening to that country should focus on circumspect comparability of Ukrainians to other persecuted peoples such as Palestinians, Kurds, Yazidis, Afghans, and everyone else who's ever been persecuted? Otherwise, the story just isn't sensitively framed.
What if a writer stated the worst thing you could say about Ukraine on the air or in writing is: "I didn't think it was possible for this to happen in Europe in 2022"? Or that any journalist who expresses what's happening to Ukrainians as a unique, world-changing event is guilty of the moral sin of being implicitly racist.?
Well, that's what LA Times television critic Lorraine Ali reports in her recent article, "In Ukraine reporting, Western press reveals grim bias toward 'people like us,'" where she laments the words of her fellow journalists who went to Ukraine to cover the war. Ali's bio on the LA Times site states that she has also covered "culture at-large, entertainment, and American Muslim issues" for her paper.
Ali's article parrots and buys into the press release of the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA), which takes umbrage at the statements of reporters from CNN to Al Jazeera. AMEJA's virtue-signaling message to newsrooms is that one shouldn't make the Ukrainians so special because it's disrespectful to other "victims of war." The AMEJA statement from February reads,
The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA) calls on all news organizations to be mindful of implicit and explicit bias in their coverage of war in Ukraine. In only the last few days, we have tracked examples of racist news coverage that ascribes more importance to some victims of war over others.
Ali agrees, concluding her article with:
Unfortunately, in Europe's newest conflict, at least one age-old problem persists: The limits of empathy in wartime are still too often measured by race.
That just strikes me as a selfish and insensitive position by a group of far too easily triggered journalists who are, by their choice of narrative, the ones showing their biases denigrating the significance of the upheaval that Ukraine represents to the human condition. It's the same academic woke bias behavior, just extended into war zones.
AMEJA and Ali suffer from the all too common, ugly example of being caught up in their own narrower view of the world. Instead of reporting the story, they are trying to inject themselves into the story. You can almost hear the Karen cackle, "How dare you imply that your world can forget my issues?" As if just making someone else's plight important during their 15 minutes means your entire history is forgotten.
Yet, these very same foreign correspondents AMEJA accuses of being racist are the same ones who have turned up in places like Gaza, Yemen, Sinjar, Aleppo, Kabul, Kandahar, and other places near and dear to the hearts of AMEJA reporters.
These are the journalists who sleep fully clothed in Kyiv, ready to dart to bunkers at 2:00am. These are people who do have the field experience to sense when something is new and different. And know it's their job to say so to the world.
It's bad journalism on the part of AMEJA and Ali to editorialize their personal biases into the Ukraine story this way.
The fact of the matter is that Ukraine is an unprecedented story. Ukraine is the story about the collapse of the post-Cold War "peace dividend." It's the realization that the fear that the world thought it had eliminated — that the human race may perish in a nuclear wasteland — has very much returned. It's a story about realizing that countries that have integrated deeply into the first world economy can be as fragile as eggshells. It's witnessing the truth that cityscapes in Europe in 2022 can be reduced to what they looked like in 1945 overnight. It's the story of witnessing the attempt to raise a defunct Cold War superpower to begin a mission of conquest — challenging the world order of Western democracies. It is a story about the impotence of the West to stop it. It's the story of the last superpower of the Cold War, the United States of America, foundering aimlessly after decades of internal decay. It is a story about how hollow the human condition has become.
This is more than unconsciously making the plight of white refugees more important than that of brown or black ones, as Ms. Ali and AMEJA reported. Instead of interpreting the shock of the witnesses to tragedy with anger as they express themselves, Ali and those who think like her would do much better to look inside themselves and see that their feelings are the ones that are conflicted. They are the ones displaying a lack of empathy, while witnessing yet another society descend from peace to war.
I get it that every tragedy opens old wounds in the hearts of cultures that have also experienced being on the wrong end of conquest. There's an emotional response to such things. One can either interpret moments like these with empathy for those suffering, or twist the events with envious eyes and engage in petty behavior because, heaven forbid, someone else is getting more attention from being shot at by yet another despot embarking on empire building and ethnic cleansing
If anything, Ali and those who think like her should be focusing on what the destruction of Western Europe means to the future of the dispersed diaspora of the people they represent. These persecuted communities took refuge in the west. Many continue to look to the west with hope — a hope that is now dimming.
In the future, all refugees hiding from despots in their homelands will be less safe. The value of human life on this planet that was represented by the idealism of the western world, and the individual liberty exemplar of the United States, may be beginning to sunset. Ukraine is not only the beginning of the journey of the first world back to the dark ages. Ukraine is also a curtain call for Ali's hopes and dreams, too.
"It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err." – Mahatma Gandhi.

Q: "Top Tags" appear empty unless I change the sort order at least once I've noticed this issue with the Stack Exchange Android app V1.0.30 (in ICS 4.0.4).
To recreate:

*

*login to the app

*tap the upper left button and then your username (in my case Kostas)

*in the list of sites that you participate, tap one ">"  (eg. of Super User). You'll see a list of "Top Posts" and "Top Tags"

*tap on one of the "top tags": the screen (that's supposed to list the relevant questions) will appear empty.

If then, you change the sorting from "Relevant" to something else, eg "Active", it will list the relevant questions now. Also, changing from "Active" back to "Relevant" it will also display results now.
I have already tried logout+re-login to the app, and it didn't help.

Friends of Silverstream School (Fundraising Team)
Meeting Dates: 2nd Thursday of the Month
The Friends of Silverstream School (FOSS) is made up of parents from the school to raise funds to enrich our school environment. In the past it has contributed to projects such as Heat Pumps, iPads and modern learning furniture, and last year to get Stage One of the Outdoor Learning Environment underway. Alongside these larger projects the FOSS also helps with funds for extras in the classroom that are not covered in the budget, smaller requests from the Student Council and Leadership Team, the Leavers assembly prizes and supper and other requests for help throughout the year.
Whilst the primary aim of the FOSS is to raise funds, the way in which this is done is carefully considered to try and make fundraising enjoyable for both the FOSS and those that are encouraged to come along. From larger social occasions such as The Silverstream New World Quiz Night and the Team Ledger Night at the Races, through to the Bring'n'buy, school discos and sausage Sizzles, the FOSS try to encourage good social gatherings for the students and the parents to ensure that great sense of community that Silverstream School has is fostered and continues to grow.
The FOSS meets on a regular basis at 7.30 in the staffroom during term time, meetings are usually completed before 9pm, are productive and also fairly social. For the past three years the FOSS has run on a "sub-committee" model, with events run by smaller groups who report back at the full meetings ensuring things are running to plan. With such a large committee this has worked to keep committee meetings efficient.
The level of involvement by committee members is always dependent on individual time availability and ability to commit to the various activities that run. New committee members are always welcome and can either turn up to the meetings which are advertised in the school newsletters and upcoming dates emails or you can complete the form below.

Our long-term evaluation and research communication partner organisation, DECI-2, has released a report on the ROER4D project as part of its activity in providing assistance to those research projects supported by the IDRC's Information and Networks programme. The DECI-2 project mentored the ROER4D team, particularly in its communication and evaluation activities, to help develop comprehensive communication and evaluation frameworks employing a combination of Utilization-Focused Evaluation and Research Communication, and was particularly instrumental in the development of Key Evaluation Questions and the Theory of Change that the team employed in our communication and evaluation work. The full report can be accessed on DECI-2's website.
As part of the C-ROER4D content profiling and dissemination activity, we will be featuring a chapter a week from the edited volume via the project blog and social media channels, starting with the sub-project chapters and ending with the synthesis components. This activity was initiated last week by profiling Chapter 3, OER use in the Global South: A baseline survey of higher education instructors by José Dutra de Oliveira Neto, Judith Pete, Daryono and Tess Cartmill.
SP9 Lead Researcher Werner Westermann has published a blog in Spanish about the implications of his research on the Effectiveness of OER use in first-year higher education students' mathematical course performance. Werner will also be publishing a paper in IRRODL that summarises his research.
Please let us know about any communication activity you are undertaking to promote your ROER4D research. We would be happy to support you in this mutually beneficial process.

Like all SoCalX events, this hike is ADULTS ONLY, and NO DOGS are allowed.
Hike at your own risk. We are not responsible for anything you do of your own accord. Likewise, we're not responsible if you don't get an Adventure Pass.
We're leaving from the Sorrento Valley Park & Ride (in the Goodwill lot under the 5 and 56 interchange) at 6am SHARP! Get there early if you expect to find a ride. If you're late, you're on your own. Look for the bright yellow Toyota FJ Cruiser with Wonder Woman spare tire cover. That belongs to your host, Amy Codiamat.
We need all attendees to make an effort to consolidate into as few a cars as possible, and each car needs an Adventure Pass(see below).
Get here as early as you can and get started on the hike. Please don't wait around. There will be too many people to start at the same time.
There WILL be cold water flowing in the river, and requires that you cross it 5 to 7 times! If you do not feel comfortable doing so, please do not RSVP!
The trail to the Bridge to Nowhere is mostly gradual with rugged terrain and rock scrambling. Wading through water is unavoidable (at least in wet months), so pack appropriate footwear. Hiking boots, water shoes, and a towel is the best combination. The hike up the canyon has a minimum of four river crossings. Trekking in wet shoes is not ideal, and while it is tedious to change your footwear throughout the hike, your feet may thank you.
**Everyone is expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner.
Littering, vandalism, and destruction of wildlife will not be tolerated!

Skimmington is a procession through a village intended to bring ridicule on and make an example of a nagging wife or an unfaithful husband.
It dates from the late 1600s and comes from the use of a ladle or skimmer used to thrash the offender during the procession.
What an interesting way to make your spouse pay for their sins.
