Reflecting on the human cost of abuse and its prevention By Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
Reflecting on the human cost of abuse and its prevention
By Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.

Archbishop Charles J. Chaput. Hypocrite and Pedophile Defender of the Unholy Roman Catholic Church.
EDITORS NOTE: In July 2012 when Archbishop Chaput's investigation cleared one accused priest, SNAP reacted with sharp criticism of Chaput's procedure, saying decisions were "held in secrecy for months or weeks until the archbishop and his public relations staffers deem it's most advantageous to disclose them. Chaput continues to act recklessly and selfishly … with little or no regard for children's safety." At the same time, SNAP also called "again" on Archbishop Chaput to proceed to defrock Lynn after his conviction; and for "eliminating Pennsylvania's archaic, arbitrary, predator-friendly statutes of limitations". In January 2014, the archdiocese, prominently defended by Chaput, posted bail for Lynn. In April 2015 the state supreme court upheld the initial conviction and revoked Lynn's bail. He was returned to serve the balance of his 3-to-6 year term. PLEASE read the Editors Notes following the end of the story.
The hypocrisy of Archbishop Charles J. Chaput in the following story is incredibly revealing.
Now from Archbishop Charles J. Chaput's own hypocritical words:
Throughout the weeks of April, our Commonwealth, along with the rest of the country, has been focused on National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month.
Here in Pennsylvania, our people have come through a very difficult decade on this issue. But the abuse problem is much wider than any one state, profession or demographic group. It cuts through every level of society. Child abuse is an ugly crime; abusing children sexually compounds the evil. Every year we see many thousands of cases of child sexual abuse across the country in a full range of institutions, public and private, religious and secular.
In response, Pennsylvania legislators have passed 20 new laws aimed at preventing child abuse and providing better support for survivors. In doing so, they've offered a model for the nation. We owe them our gratitude for their good work. And it's important to stress that as a Catholic community, we too are committed — just as everyone should be — to ensuring safe environments for children and young people.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has a zero tolerance policy for clergy, lay employees and volunteers who engage in sexual misconduct with children. If an accusation of this nature is made, we take immediate action by reporting the matter to law enforcement and cooperating with authorities fully in the course of their work.
We're committed to educating all those who work with children, as well as the children in our schools and parish religious education programs, so they can recognize signs of abuse and make a report.
As we come to the end of April, it's worth highlighting some key archdiocesan statistics:
* More than 280 designated Safe Environment Coordinators are now working in our parishes, schools and youth ministries to ensure compliance with state laws and archdiocesan safety policies.
* More than 92,000 adults have received training to recognize, respond and report child abuse since 2003.
* Nearly 30,000 adults have received mandatory reporter training.
* More than 100,000 children have received age-appropriate abuse prevention education.
* The archdiocese has invested more than $2.4 million in education and training aimed at preventing and reporting sexual abuse since 2006.
In addition, the archdiocesan Victim Assistance Program offers compassionate and substantial assistance to individuals and families every year. During the 2013-14 fiscal year alone, the Church in Philadelphia dedicated more than $1.6 million to various modes of assistance including counseling, medication, and vocational support for survivors and their families.
To put it simply: The Philadelphia Catholic community is, and will remain, fully committed to helping survivors of childhood sexual abuse and their families heal, no matter who committed the crime against them or when the crime occurred.
Evil actions in the past can't be erased and shouldn't be forgotten. Over the decades sexual abuse has wounded hundreds of innocent lives, both within and outside the Church in Pennsylvania. But the sins of the past need not determine the present or future.
The Catholic Church in the Greater Philadelphia region is dedicated to protecting our young people and families from sexual predators and the suffering they cause — now and always.
EDITORS NOTE: The Archdiocese of Philadelphia did NOT dedicate itself to protecting young people from sexual predators, nor did they do anything about the suffering of the victims. This is extremely well documented.
Cardinals John Krol and Anthony Bevilacqua covered up for their pedophile priests.
Bishop Joseph Cistone also participated in the cover ups, including silencing a nun who tried to alert parishioners at St. Gabriels parish of an abusive priest. Cistone also covered up for other priests and showed himself he was more concerned with the public relations than the sexual abuse of children.
Bishop William Lynn, who was eventually convicted in his part for covering up for "Father" James J. Brennan among others. "According to a scathing grand jury report, Lynn, as secretary of clergy for the archdiocese, concealed the crimes of accused priests and put them in positions in which they could harm more children.
Lynn figured prominently in a scathing 2005 grand jury report that found 63 priests in the archdiocese had been credibly accused of child sexual assault over several decades while local church officials turned a blind eye..
Some of the pedophile priests they covered up for were:
1. "Father" John McDevitt, a religion teacher at Father Judge High School for Boys, abused Richard Green for six months in 1990 and 1991. At the time, the victim's uncle, Cardinal John Joseph O'Conner served as Archbishop of New York.
2. "Father" Edward Avery, 69, known for his moonlighting work as a disc jockey, pleaded guilty to involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and conspiracy to endanger the welfare of a child. He was immediately sentenced to 2½ to five years in prison. The charges stem from Avery's abuse of an altar boy at St. Jerome's Parish in northeast Pennsylvania in 1999, when Avery was 57 and the boy 10. Avery was at St. Jerome's despite a credible 1992 complaint that led him to undergo psychological testing at an archdiocesan-run psychiatric hospital, according to a 2005 grand jury report. He was pulled from his parish, put on a so-called "health leave" and then reassigned in 1993, the report said."
3. "Father" James J. Brennan: Brennan is accused of the 1996 rape of a 14-year-old boy.

Nikola Tesla museum
CLOSED OPENS AT 10:00
Following his death, Tesla`s entire property was packed, sealed and handed over to the Office of Alien Property Custodian. His belongings were transferred from the New Yorker Hotel to the "Manhattan Warehouse and Storage Co." where some of Tesla`s property was already stored. In 1951, on the initiative of Sava Kosanovic, all Nikola Tesla`s personal property and writings were shipped to Belgrade, where Kosanovic subsequently presented them to the state.
Packed in sixty packages, suitcases, metal trunks and barrels, the legacy of Nikola Tesla arrived on the ship "Serbia" in the port of Rijeka in September, 1951. The material was then transferred by train to Belgrade, where it was stored in the Belgrade University at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. In June, 1952, it was moved from the Faculty to the "Gencic`s Villa" where the museum is today.
The Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade was opened to the public on 20th October 1955. It was the first technical museum in Yugoslavia. The opening presented the permanent exhibition, which gave visitors the opportunity to see models built accurately according to Tesla`s drawings. Perhaps the most celebrated of these demonstrates the effects of a rotating magnetic field. The Egg of Columbus, which had amazed visitors to the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, was also displayed to the Belgrade public. Also, Tesla`s first induction motor, a model hydroelectric power plant which illustrated Tesla`s polyphase transmission system, various generators and transformers, and a remote-controlled model boat were on display. The most popular exhibit for visitors today is the Tesla coil with antenna, which was the basis for the fluorescent light.
The Nikola Tesla Museum is today, by any criteria, a scientific and cultural institution which is unique in Serbia and the world. It is the only museum preserving the original and personal legacy of Nikola Tesla.

One of the perks of my job is learning about so many businesses and the people who are part of them. The Japan-America Society of Tennessee held their annual membership meeting where Mayor Karl Dean and the Consul-General of Japan in Nashville, Masami Kinefuchi were speakers, along with many other interesting business people in the community. The Japanese culture has fascinated me for decades so it's an honor to create design work for the Society.

Apremium whitefish, haddock is a member of the cod family, though smaller than Atlantic cod, generally weighing 2 to 5 pounds. The haddock bears a distinguishing black mark, often referred to as the "devil's thumbprint" or "St. Peter's mark," in the "shoulder" area, and its skin is less mottled than the cod's. The term "scrod" is used to describe headon, gutted haddock between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds. Haddock under 1 1/2 pounds are referred to as "snapper haddock," and 2 1/2 pounds and up are "large." Haddock is found on both sides of the North Atlantic. Highest concentrations on the U.S./Canada coast occur on Georges Bank and in the Gulf of Maine. Haddock is also found throughout northern Europe, where it is revered for fish and chips and as a cold-smoked product — the famous finnan haddie invented in Scotland over a century ago. Haddock are taken by longlines and trawl nets.
Haddock's delicate flake and slightly sweet taste give it a wonderful, melt-inthe-mouth appeal. The lean meat has a firm yet tender texture, and the flake is finer than cod. The raw meat is white and cooks up even whiter. The flesh should be firm and resilient. A thin layer of connective tissue covering the flesh helps differentiate it from cod.
Since much haddock is sold skinless these days, buyers don't always have the "thumbprint" to judge by. But haddock fillets are smaller than those from cod and have a finer flake.
The same recipes that work for cod are good for the versatile haddock. Smaller haddock fillets are easily sautéed, while all haddock is good in soups and stews. Haddock is good poached and excellent for pan frying, as the meat holds together better than cod or pollock. Haddock frames are good for stock. Smoked haddock, or "finnan haddie," is one of the most popular variations.

Man charged with murder in Christmas Eve vehicle chase & crash

MENDOCINO Co., 12/26/20 — In the early morning of Christmas Eve a vehicle crash occurred in Caspar, in which a pick-up struck a motorcyclist resulting in the death of the motorcyclist. Now Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detectives and California Highway Patrol investigators have decided that the crash was an intentional ramming of the motorcyclist by the driver of a Chevrolet, Shayne Tyler Wrede, 35 of Fort Bragg. Wrede has been charged with murder and is being held in Mendocino County Jail in lieu of $500,000 in bail.
The motorcyclist, Mark Jason Hutchinson, 48 of Willits, died at the scene from his injuries.
According to records from the MCSO this would be the fourteen homicide this year in Mendocino County, a significant jump from eight last year.
Wrede claimed that he had been shot at by Hutchinson, and Fort Bragg Police Department confirmed evidence for a shooting. After the shooting, Wrede gave chase in his pickup and Hutchinson fled on a motorcycle. They sped through Fort Bragg and south into Caspar where investigators claim that Wrede rammed Hutchinson, killing him.
Here is the press release from the MCSO:
Incident Number:
Crime/Incident:
187 PC (Murder)
3455 PC (Violation of PRCS – Post Release Community Supervision)
1500 block of Caspar Road in Caspar, CA
Date of Incident:
Victim(s):
Mark Jason Hutchinson (48 year-old male from Willits, CA)
Suspect(s):
Shayne Tyler Wrede (35 year-old male from Fort Bragg, CA)
Detective Sergeant Luis Espinoza
On 12-24-2020 shortly after 5:40 AM, officers with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) were dispatched to a reported traffic collision causing injury in the 15000 block of Caspar Road near the Pacifica Drive intersection in Caspar, California.
Upon arrival the initial CHP officer discovered the traffic collision involved a 2003 Chevrolet pick-up truck being driven by Shayne Wrede.
Additionally, a 1994 Honda 650 motorcycle was present in the roadway. Through this investigation it was determined the motorcycle was being operated by Mark Hutchinson.
Preliminary information identified Hutchinson as succumbing to his injuries related to the traffic collision.
Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputy's were dispatched to the reported coroner's case. While responding, it was learned Wrede (who was identified also being on County Parole) reported being the victim of a shooting earlier that morning prior to the traffic collision.
Fort Bragg Police Department Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex on South Street (Fort Bragg, California) where evidence was located that was consistent with a shooting.
Mendocino County Sheriff's Detectives were summoned and were assisted by an Investigator with the CHP Northern Division Investigative Unit.
Initial information revealed that following the shooting, both Hutchinson and Wrede were involved in an approximate 4.5 mile vehicle chase.
Their vehicles reached speeds of at least 90 MPH through the city of Fort Bragg and the unincorporated southern portion of Fort Bragg before continuing south onto Caspar Road where the subsequent traffic collision occurred resulting in Hutchinson's death.
Investigators with CHP's Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) stationed in Redding (California) were requested to respond and assist in determining the circumstances related to the traffic collision.
Following their scene investigation, speaking with eye witnesses and reviewing surveillance video associated with the shooting/vehicle chase, Sheriff's Detectives developed probable cause to believe Wrede intentionally caused the traffic collision by striking Hutchinson's motorcycle with his 2003 Chevrolet pick-up truck at a high rate of speed while on Caspar Road.
Wrede was arrested for 187 PC (Murder) and Violation of Post Release Community Supervision (3455 PC).
Wrede was subsequently booked into the Mendocino County Jail where he was to be held in lieu of $500,000.00 bail.
Sheriff's Detectives are continuing to follow-up on information and are asking for the public's help.
Sheriff's Detectives are requesting anyone with information related to a shooting incident on South Street in Fort Bragg and the vehicle chase involving a motorcycle and dark colored pick-up truck or the reported traffic collision on Caspar Road to call the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Tip-Line at 707-234-2100.
Specifically, any residences or businesses with surveillance video facing US Highway 1 between Walnut Street (Safeway) continuing south to Caspar Road are asked to contact the Sheriff's Office.
The time frame requested is from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM on 12-24-2020.
The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the following public safety agencies for their assistance during this investigation:
California Highway Patrol Investigator – Northern Division Investigative Unit
Fort Bragg Police Department
Mendocino County District Attorney's Office
CHP Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team

Coach Rebecca Kidd entered year three at Pike County with excitement knowing this could be the year the Lady Bulldogs begin to live up to their potential.
Through the first eight games of the season, the Lady Bulldogs are living up to their potential.
The Bulldogs are 6-2 on the season with their only losses coming against powerhouse Opp and Carroll in the season opener.
"I have most of my team batting over .500 right now. We are scoring big points right now. In every game we have won so far we have scored at least 12 runs. We are scoring 12 to 14 runs per game."
The Bulldogs entered the season with KY Wilkerson as the starting pitcher. So far during the first eight games of the season, Kidd is liking what she has seen from her pitcher and starting catcher.
"Pitching and catching works well together," Kidd said. "Our varsity pitcher and catcher are really close. They work well together. We are striking out who we need to and our defense is playing well behind the pitcher. My catcher has thrown out five kids this year. A combination of all three of the groups together is what is making us successful."
The offense scoring 12 to 14 runs per game so far this season has been a pleasant surprise for Kidd.
"We are hitting the ball really well right now," coach Kidd said. "We had one or two hitters on our team in the past, but we are hitting the ball really well right now. When you have most of your team hitting over .500 its bound to be a good season."
The excitement continues to grow at Pike County. That excitement has led to success on the field.
"They realize they have the potential to make it pretty far," Kidd said. "They're young so the thought of years to come has been exciting for the whole school. Last night (Tuesday) the girls were excited to play. We got down pretty big, but they are so excited for their season and ready to fight that we were able to come back from a 6-1 (deficit) and came back to win 14-9. That was huge for them."
The Bulldogs are 1-1 in area play so far this season. They lost to Opp and defeated Goshen.
The Bulldogs will play four consecutive area games starting on March 30 when they host New Brockton. They will then play Goshen and then Opp before closing out area play against New Brockton on April 8.
"We are going to have to play defense against New Brockton and Opp," Kidd said. "They both hit the ball really well. We are going to have to hit the ball against Opp. They have three of the best pitchers in the state in my opinion. We have to figure out how to put the bat on a ball."

CB seeks ETI bidder credibility info from Singapore's financial intelligence unit
Comments / {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}} Views / Wednesday, 7 February 2018 00:02
By Charumini de Silva
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka has sought information from the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO) - Singapore's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) - over the credibility of the Malaysian bidder for several assets of the EAP Group's ETI subsidiaries.
Despite the concerns that have been raised within local business circles over the credibility of the Malaysian businessman negotiating on behalf of a Singaporean company to buy EAP Group businesses, the Central Bank seems to have found no records of this potential investor's involvement in any financial crimes, the Daily FT learns.
"Singapore-based Straits Grid Pte. Ltd. has made an offer for $ 75 million to buy nine subsidiaries and properties belonging to ETI Finance Ltd. (ETIF). From the credentials provided to the Central Bank thus far there is no information that this investor is involved in money laundering or terrorist activities," a senior official of the Central Bank told the Daily FT on condition of anonymity.
Nevertheless, concerns are being raised over Malaysian businessman Sudhir Jayaram due to a host of matters including alleged criminal acts such as money laundering, with him being nabbed at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) prior to his departure with $ 50,000 in undeclared currency in November last year. His son and another individual also had $ 50,000 each in their possession while the fourth individual carried $ 58,000. Thanks to political influence, Jayaram was released without suffering any penalty. Some sources say the authorities have launched a full-scale probe into the incident.
Jayaram is also part of a consortium which includes SupremeSAT-fame R.M. Manivannan, engaged in the $ 250 million Horton Square mixed development project in Colombo 7, which the Cabinet Committee on Economic Management (CCEM), chaired by the Prime Minister, has raised various questions over. He was also named in the United Nations investigation into the famous Iraqi oil-for-food scandal in late 2000. The Central Bank has been in the know of the bid by Jayaram and the questionable credentials of his consortium.
In spite of these concerns, representatives of the beleaguered ETIF yesterday met once again with the officials of the Central Bank to further discuss the potential investor.
"The Central Bank has found no financial crime records against the Malaysian investor to take over the assets of the ETIF. However, the Central Bank has now requested further information from the FIU of Singapore," he added.
Sources said there had been several rounds of negotiations on the deal prior to the ETI and other finance company Swarnamahal Financial Services Plc (SFSP) which were brought under the Central Bank's purview on 3 January.
Upon receiving STRO's response, the Central Bank will be in a position to submit a paper to the Monetary Board on the way forward with ETIF.
Concerns include whether the Central Bank will allow a party with alleged questionable character to run a deposit-taking finance company i.e. Swarnamahal Financial Services. Doubts are also being raised over whether the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) will issue a 'no objection' letter to change the name of the owner of the frequency leased to Swarnavahini of the EAP Group.
This is in the event Jayaram and his partners succeed in manoeuvring the EAP deal in their favour using political clout.
With a view to safeguard the interests of depositors and ensure the stability of the financial system, the Central Bank appointed a new management panel on 3 January to oversee the troubled ETIF and listed SFSP. Since then the two companies have performed to a satisfactory level, but the inflow through deposits has seen a decline, while loan recoveries and return on investments (ROIs) are continuing as usual, sources said.

Winter of the White Bear: a forthcoming picture book by Martin Ed Chatterton
Today I'm delighted to bring you a very interesting and thought-provoking interview with award-winning author and illustrator Martin Ed Chatterton, about an unusual project he's been working on: Winter of the White Bear, an extraordinary picture book to be published by Dirt Lane Press this October. You can watch a compelling trailer for the book here.
Martin, I believe that Winter of the White Bear is a book that grew out of several inspirations: your PhD, your previous collaborations with Margrete Lamond, now publisher at Dirt Lane Press, and no doubt other things. Can you tell us something about how it came about?
The starting point for Winter Of The White Bear was my PhD which I completed at the end of 2017. That had, at it's core, a polemical examination of the toxic legacy of the Atlantic Slave Trade in my home town of Liverpool in the UK. I wrote my doctorate in part see if there was a way in which I could simultaneously access the slavery story in both a contemporary and historical way and the result was The Last Slave Ship, a novel with a dual storyline, one set aboard the Uriel, the final slaving voyage from Liverpool in 1809 and a narrative following a present day race hate crime which results in large scale rioting. The two storylines intersect at the end.
The PhD came about partly through curiosity about my family tree. On my wife's side of the family, the maternal line is 'black Liverpool'. The apparent 'invisibility' of 'blackness' in that side of the family got me asking questions and that led to (sadly) the growing realisation that I'd been raised in the most racist city in the UK and that my wife's family had undoubtedly arrived in the city via Liverpool's armpit-deep involvement in the genocidal Atlantic Slave Trade. In this case 'we' (white Liverpool) played the role of the Nazis, stocking, crewing and profiting hugely over 120 years by selling people. Over half of all the slave ships that sailed from Britain sailed from Liverpool. The city grew rich on the back of slavery. Present day Liverpool racism, both institutional and cultural is, I believe, directly traceable to residual guilt about the city's blood-stained past, and denied thorough examination by an overpowering cultural 'Scouse' identity, described by American academic Jacqueline Nassy-Brown as 'brutally localised, excruciatingly white.' It's not going too far to say that if the novel is published in the UK (as it is due to be), there could be trouble ahead. Liverpool does not take criticism well. If you're interested, you can download the PhD exegesis here: https://epubs.scu.edu.au/theses/572/
Anyway…all that is by way of background. Winter Of The White Bear not only arrived because of my interest in slavery but because of the direct involvement of the very wonderful and most excellent, Margrete Lamond, my publisher (and editor) at Dirt Lane Press. Myself and Margrete go back a long way: to 2004 to be exact when I first moved to Australia. At the time she was working at Scholastic and commissioned me for my first Aussie book (I illustrated Ogre In A Toga by the lovely Geoffrey McSkimming). Margrete kept in touch when she moved to Little Hare books and she published The Brain Finds A Leg, a blackly comic surreal teen comedy set in a thinly disguised Byron Bay where I was living at that time. The book did decently, getting shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Award (where we lost to the picture book of Mao's Last Dancer…still bitter, although I do love Anne Spudvillas' work). And then we did other books: a follow up to The Brain, a series about William Shakespeare as a ten year old boy, a novelty book about a nude Santa. All the usual stuff.
Then, about six or seven years ago I wrote a crime novel on spec and Margrete was kind enough to do a broad structural edit on it before my agent shopped it around. A Dark Place To Die was published by Random House here and in the UK and was then optioned as a TV series (still 'in development' with Escapade Media/Mam Tor). The book led to a series, all set partly in Liverpool (and Byron Bay, Berlin, California…) and, to close the circle, The Last Slave Ship is also set in the city. When I met Margrete last year she suggested doing an offshoot from my PhD for Dirt Lane Press and I jumped at it. I'd been seeing what they'd been doing for a year or two and loving the social commitment and aims of the company. I do a fair amount of what you might call 'mass market/commercial' writing and illustration. Probably the best example of this are the co-writing gigs I have with James Patterson, the US publishing behemoth. So Dirt Lane and Winter Of The White Bear are as far from this as it's possible to be (note: I am by no means sneering at the idea of White Bear doing well commercially!). And it's the best/most satisfying thing I've done (in books) in a while.
What has the story's journey been like? Did you need to do many drafts? Did you work with Margrete from the start on it, or has the process been different to that?
I wrote the first draft very quickly. Having worked so much in the past with Margrete on so many disparate books we both have confidence in each other. That confidence gives me free reign to try things out, as I know Margrete will spot when it works and when it doesn't. Perhaps the title (for Margrete) might be more accurately that of 'producer'.
There were a couple of things I knew I wanted right from the outset. The first was no comedy. In my children's fiction I'm primarily, and proudly, comedic. However, there's no room for that here. So, no funnies. Secondly, I wanted this to be absolutely international. This wasn't about Liverpool, or about the Atlantic slave trade. At least not in the specifics. This was about stripping back slavery to it's evil essence: coercion for gain. Margrete and I had a couple of arm-wrestling moments, most pointedly on the issue of making this a white bear against a black bear. My view was that there needed to be a stark difference in the two bears as this introduces, in simple form, the idea of 'the other'. Defining another group as 'other' is key to being able to enslave. And the clearest, most unequivocal example we have of that is white enslaving black. Of course there have been multiple (and ongoing) examples of slavery where that 'otherness' is less clearly defined but I felt strongly that the 'not all slaves were black' argument has been hijacked (erroneously) by the right. Besides, the genesis for this book lay in a specifically white/black arena. I didn't want anyone to be in any doubt.
There were quite a few drafts but all following a principle I knew would be there. I started big and went small. The first draft came in around 2000 words; clearly too many for a book of this kind. But, as I knew that at the outset, and, as Margrete was the editor, I was confident we'd whittle down. Which is exactly what we did. The final word count is around about 700 words.
How would you characterise the visual narrative of the book?
Being a writer/illustrator often has it's advantages, but nowhere more so than in a picture book. The visual narrative of this book emerged from two sources: the first are the paintings I do for pleasure. I don't sell them or exhibit: they are for me and they are a long way from my 'normal' work. I began my professional life as an illustrator and that's still very much an important part of what I do. Winter Of The White Bear is an opportunity for me to swing hard at the ball and make some of those gestural, free marks I make in the comfort of my own (secret) studio.
The second part of the visual thrust for the images is digital. Everything has been produced on screen. I've been drawing with the cursor, using collage, overlays, brushes, effects and photography to make the images. I forced myself not to draw anything and 'import' it as I would do normally. This has, I hope, resulted in a fresh approach, albeit using techniques honed over the years. I think this imagery will be seen as different for me…but it's always been there.
With its fable/fairytale form and light touch, Winter of the White Bear can be read on many levels, and by readers of many ages: what do you hope people will take away from it?
I'm glad you think it has a light touch. It would have been easy to slip into a preachy tone so I think using fable helps prevent that. Allowing the reader to join the dots is something I try and do in all my writing. Using fable also helps blur the age lines. We're so used to the fairytale form that it can become a Trojan horse in which we can smuggle in meaning. Another aspect of the fable/fairytale as form is that it allows darker themes and narrative. While Winter Of The White Bear deals with hard subjects it barely comes near to the horrors in, say, Hansel And Gretel.
I made the decision to echo the Atlantic Slave narrative in several key ways in the book. For example, when Little Bear reaches a point of desperation she chooses to allow herself to sink beneath the waves. 'If she sank far enough she would no longer have to catch fish for White Bear.' Slaves taken from West Africa frequently committed suicide as a means of escape. One of the first acts for the Liverpool slavers on arrival in Africa was the installation of suicide netting around the ships. Slaves were valuable and the more of them alive at the end of the voyage, the higher the profit. The hideous conditions aboard ship were finely calculated to ensure that as many slaves survived as possible at as low a cost as possible. Profit overruled morality at every turn. Slaves also saw suicide as an act of resistance so it was important for Little Bear to reach this point. Of course, I don't make this explicit. This is a book for children so Little Bear's 'death' is deliberately ambiguous. The appearance of her (murdered) father also speaks to the importance of ancestors in African belief systems. Little Bear's subsequent 'campaign' and escape from her oppressor can be viewed as what happens to her in the afterlife, or as wish fulfilment, or simply as a magical reality.
I hope that young readers take one very simple message from this book. Namely that using force to enslave anyone is wrong and that we have to remain vigilant to prevent this happening.
Winter of the White Bear comes out in October, but you are already performing readings of it in schools. What other events are being planned in the lead-up to its release?
After starting work on Winter Of The White Bear I decided to make a 'rough cut' audio of it as a work in progress. I then showed that rough cut reading to schools I visited in Australia and China in late 2018. I always saw the book as something that would translate very well to the screen and I have made a full reading for the 2019 school visits.
I'm keen for Winter Of The White Bear to get 'out there' in as many forms as possible. I co-opted a French actor/producer friend of mine, Michel Duran, to do the reading for the video of the book. Michel is based in Vancouver and, I think, adds an extra flavour of 'the international' to the project. We have worked together on a number of film and TV projects (as Sugartown Media) and we are developing Winter Of The White Bear as a potential animated feature film. We're also working with Angela Salt, another friend of mine in the UK who runs a creative children's content company called Salt Content. Pat Davern, of Grinspoon, is also involved in writing a suite of songs for the project. He has provided the theme music for the project and we are at work on the 'hero' song, You Will Find A Way, right now. Pat and I have worked together on a number of projects beginning with Pat's Alexander The Elephant picture/music book in 2015. We'll be putting out a video for the song in the lead up to Winter Of The White Bear being published.
We have also partnered with The Freedom Hub (thefreedomhub.org) in Sydney for this book after meeting with Sally Irwin, The Freedom Hub's founder. The Freedom Hub was formed specifically to combat modern day slavery in Australia. Using two cafes (one in Sydney, the other on the Gold Coast) as the 'hub' element around which programs of aid for people caught up in human trafficking are rolled out, the organisation is an important beacon of hope. It's a real shock for many people to realise that there are an estimated 4,300 slaves in modern day Australia and The Freedom Hub are doing a fantastic job of raising awareness of this and giving practical help where possible. They are also committed to doing what they can to ensure slavery is eradicated around the globe. We are super proud to have them on board with Winter Of The White Bear and will be flagging them up at every opportunity. The book will be launched on October the 17th at The Freedom Hub by Benjamin Law who has kindly agreed to do the honours.
I understand that two other books came out of your PhD, including an adult novel and a graphic novel: can you tell us a little about them?
The Last Slave Ship, the novel I wrote for my PhD was due to be published last year but sadly the publisher went bust just prior. The nature of the novel (hard-hitting, experimental to a degree, polemical) meant that it wasn't a good fit for my usual (commercial) publisher, Penguin Random House, so finding a good home for it has been a priority. My agent in London has been scrabbling around and we are pretty sure it will be out this year with Dead Ink in the UK who are another socially conscious independent publishing house. That's by no means a given as yet but we think it will happen. I'm pretty keen on it being released as, along with Winter Of The White Bear and Archangel (the graphic novel I'll discuss below), it would mean that three very different 'slavery' stories have emerged from the research, covering all age ranges.
The novel itself tells the story of the doomed final slaving voyage from Liverpool in 1809, sailed by a hard-bitten crew conscious that this is their last opportunity for a big payoff. Slavery has been outlawed in Britain so it is a risky, but potentially profitable, business. Running parallel to this story is one that revolves around the aftershocks following a vicious race hate killing in contemporary Liverpool. The central idea behind the book can be summed up by my 'pitch line': 'The last slave ship didn't leave Liverpool in 1809, Liverpool is the last slave ship'. And another: 'What do you do when you've witnessed a crime committed by an entire city?'
In a spot of cross-pollination, I've mixed in characters from my three previous 'Liverpool' crime novels (A Dark Place To Die, Underland, Remission) and narrative themes of memory/amnesia, 'saying the unsayable', witness and guilt. There are intertwined sub-narratives in there too about Hillsborough, about Scouse identity and the importance of Antony Gormley's Another Place as witness: a sculpture installation sited on a beach in north Liverpool which has been something of an obsession of mine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw_WO8Y5a8s).
At the beginning of my doctorate, I was interested (and still am) in the notion of cross-media. Something that 'fell out' of that was me writing a piece of faux fan-fiction, imagining a fan response to The Last Slave Ship…which was, at that time, unwritten. That became a YA novel called Archangel which is a re-imagining of the slavery narrative, set in a future post-industrial north American hunter-gatherer settlement built on the remnants of a vast shopping mall centuries after Earth has been abandoned by the ruling elite. The climate is frozen for large parts of the year and the growing of harvesting of timber occupies much of the time for the 'tribe'. This isn't a dystopian vision: the population functions in harmony with their surroundings until the humans who had abandoned the planet return to 'harvest' labour. Dirt Lane Press asked me to develop Archangel as a graphic novel. As a first step I'll be rewriting the story as a screenplay; the thinking being that will be a format more easily adaptable to the graphic novel format. I'll let you know how we do!

An interview with author Marina Osipova
Today, I'm delighted to bring you an interview with award-winning historical fiction author Marina Osipova, whose first novel,The Cruel Romance, I read last year and loved. With its elegant writing, deeply evocative setting in wartime Russia, richly-drawn characters and tragic yet affirming story, it is an accomplished and memorable work. Marina has just released her second novel, How Dare the Birds Sing, and to celebrate I asked her a few questions about the book and her writing in general.
First of all, Marina, congratulations on the publication of How Dare the Birds Sing! It looks fantastic–I've just bought a copy and can't wait to read it. Can you tell us about the novel and what inspired it?
Thank you, Sophie, for buying my book and for your readiness to allocate time in your extremely tight schedule to read it. I hope you'll find the story interesting.
What inspired me? A difficult question for me to answer. It just happened. I was not yet done with The Cruel Romance when the story of Lyuba started germinating in my mind, or more accurately, in my heart. Unfortunately (you have to see me smile), it happens again and again. How Dare the Birds Sing was not published yet and already three other stories began pressuring me.
What was the road to publication like for this book? And how have readers responded to it so far?
The road to publication was not easy. First, and it was a month of thrilled anticipation, two editors from the Big Five requested The Cruel Romance and the ms of How Dare the Birds Sing for consideration. It was not out of the blue: one of my friends, an amazing author, recommended my work to them. Though they praised my writing and the stories . . . you can anticipate what their verdict was. Then, a small press publishing company from the UK expressed interest in How Dare the Birds Sing, but we did not agree on the terms. After spending tons of time researching possible publishers for my book, I chose Draft2Digital. Unfortunately, they help with e-publishing only. So, the process is not over for me. Despite that, I'm glad I decided to self-publish, which offers me more flexibility throughout the process. I like having control over all aspects of my career.
I am very pleased with the readers' response to my newly published book. And the reviews are great. I'm humbled by praises from readers like: "A riveting WWII novel," "A truly fascinating tale," "The writing is excellent," "Hard to put down."
Your earlier novel, the wonderful, bold, memorable and tragic novel, The Cruel Romance, is also set in wartime and about the dreadful effects of war and occupation on people's lives and potential–in all kinds of ways, including the possibility–or impossibility–of love in such circumstances. What draws you to tell these stories?
I hear this question time and again. It is known that wars are the most dramatic time in the history of humankind and WWII was the most brutal of them, full of universal and single-person drama. That's what readers expect from fiction books—drama, right? Why WWII? I think, as a Russian, I inherited the horror and memory of that time. It's in my blood. Besides, in the Soviet Union, preservation of the memory about the heroism of its people was a part of the broad propaganda. I, though, would call it nurturing patriotism and am thankful that the official policy of the state was to instill in the youth the feeling of respect and appreciation for what the prior generation sacrificed to preserve our life as an independent nation.
There is another reason for me to write about the Great Patriotic War: Thanks to The Nightingale, Lilac Girls, The Indigo Rebels, and other brilliant books, the stories of European women in their fight against the occupation of their countries has become broadly familiar. I believe ordinary Russian women who had to endure four years of Nazi invasion deserve the same.
Telling stories of unsung heroines is my humble tribute to the women who worked on the home front producing armaments, like Serafima from The Cruel Romance, or who were fighters on the front or partisans, like my heroine Lyuba from How Dare the Birds Sing who, after being captured by Germans, was subjected to slavery in the Nazi labor camp as hundreds of thousands of others were.
As a writer of Russian origin, you are no doubt influenced by the extraordinary literary heritage of your native country—how would you characterise that influence in your own work?
The influence was and is enormous. Starting with Alexandr Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, Aleksandr Ostrovsky and Ivan Turgenev, Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorki and the writers who wrote about the Great Patriotic War, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Vasily Grossman, Lev Kopelev, Konstantin Simonov, Yuri Bondarev, to name a few, all of whom shaped (and continue shaping) me as a writer with their brilliant ability to look beyond the time and human psyche.
You have also lived around the world, both as you were growing up, and as an adult–how do you feel that cosmopolitan experience has influenced your work?
This is another highly interesting question of yours, Sophie. Living abroad gave me not only the factual knowledge and experience of different cultures and political systems but also the feeling of how much unites us—the same everyday problems, the same sources of joy and love. But most importantly what influences my work is that I can feel for both protagonists and antagonists in my stories. As one reviewer of The Cruel Romance said, "There are no good liberators or bad invaders—there are good and bad people." This is my credo as a writer—no prejudices.
Did you always want to be a writer, even as a child? And how did you get started on your writing career?
To be a writer? No, as a child I wanted to be a doctor, maybe because my dolls didn't object to my sticking them with needles; then a fisherman (that is a fisherwoman)—I lived with my parents on the Volga River then—later, an operetta singer-dancer (without having any ear for music at all although I endured three years in a music school); then my small child's interest in learning German and the love of this language overwhelmed all my other numerous interests and I decided my future profession must be related to anything that would involve the German language. And it did until I immigrated to the United States in 2001. That's when I started writing (first, some flash fiction). My English language teacher, who I fed a story to every week, was impressed and suggested I "must publish" them. I published my first book in 2016.
You have won many awards for your writing–can you tell us more about them?
Yes, to my delight, my first submissions to literary contests, most of them to Romance Writers of America, were well received. Every one of them, big or small, are dear to my author's heart. The list of them can be found on my website, www.marina-osipova.com.
But I'd like to tell you briefly about one in particular. It was my very first manuscript, which title had undergone several transformations from Margarita and her Master to Ark of Hypocrites to Garden of Weeds. I sent it to Pacific Northwest Writers Association literary contest and, surprisingly, happened to find myself among the finalists in the mainstream category. At the conference in Seattle, in the huge hall during the announcement of the winners, the chair asked the finalist to rise to their feet one category after another. Mine was the very last. Eight finalists stood up. The chair congratulated us and offered us our seats again but immediately changed her mind. "Wait, get up again." We stood up. "All men and only one woman among the finalists!" I remember she sounded incredulous. When my category came up, I held my breath. Then, "And the first-place award goes to Marina Osipova." Later, another finalist told me I exclaimed loudly.
What's coming next? What new projects are you working on?
There are so many stories I want to tell! After my WIP, which is the sequel to How Dare the Birds Sing with the working title, I've Got to Know Who I Am, there will be a third book, and I already have a clear idea about another story outside of the series.
Thank you, Sophie, for inviting me to participate in your interview. A big honor for me. I can't help but express my admiration of you as a brilliant writer and a wonderful person who helps other writers achieve their goal—to be a good author. Congratulations on your astounding and well-deserved achievement, the Order of Australia for services to literature.

Lovely article in Le Courier Australien!
Really nice this week to talk to an excellent journalist from the French-Australian newspaper, Le Courier Australien(which, originally founded in 1892, is by the way the oldest foreign-language newspaper in Australia, though it is solely online these days, not in print format any more). Valentine Sabouraud, the journalist who did the interview, is herself an author, with her lively guidebook to Melbourne through its people published within an acclaimed series of French travel guides.

St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.
The St. Peter's Lutheran Church Cemetery is located down a quiet back-road in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Its next door neighbor is the St. Peter's Pikeland United Church Of Christ Cemetery. Both are ancient burial grounds. The neighborhood is quiet. The care of the grounds at St. Peter's Lutheran Church Cemetery was lax during my visit.

I.T. Alliance UK Expansion
I.T. Alliance Group, which specialises in providing outsourcing services to the world's leading IT outsourcers, has boosted its senior management sales team in the UK as part of an ongoing expansion programme. The £500,000 investment follows strong performance in the UK with the company recording a 15% increase in services in the last year from existing tier 1 partners, including BT and HP.
On foot of growth with existing partners, I.T. Alliance has announced a new partnership with Fujitsu Services in the UK. Mark Bowman, formerly with IBM UK for 25 years, is appointed Account Director. In addition, Colin Armstrong, who has worked for 25 years with leading industry players including HP, Fujitsu and Gartner, has been appointed Account Director for BT. Gary Herrick, formerly employed directly by IBM UK for 31 years, has been appointed Account Director for IBM. All report into Clifford Harris, I.T. Alliance Group Sales Director for UK and Ireland.
I.T. Alliance has developed a unique Tier-Two Service Alliance (T2SA) outsourcing model whereby it acts as the outsourcing partner to the world's major outsourcers. The company is targeting a niche in the UK IT outsourcing market which it estimates to be worth approximately $15 billion.
Today I.T. Alliance Group has half of its 400 staff spread across the UK where the IT and business process outsourcing (BPO) market was estimated to be worth in excess of $50bn in 2009 according to Research and Markets*. The recent UK expansion follows a €1 million investment a year ago in the same territory.
"There is increased pressure on public and private sector organisations to drive cost out of their business while boosting service through the use of technology," commented Philip Maguire, CEO, I.T. Alliance Group. "The main outsourcers themselves are looking to outsource to trusted partners who do not compete or sell directly. This means the global IT outsourcing players can better manage costs while being able to respond quickly to changing market conditions."
We have partnered with I.T. Alliance on a number of major projects. Each time they have delivered on-time, in-budget and in our name across our blue chip client base
The cailbre of their people is what sets them apart - we can very quickly and easily flex up our teams with their industry gurus through partnering with I.T. Alliance.

Or say a Italan Marine div with 5 Logistics Companys for lean supplies in africa?
If I'm reading this correctly, there are 7 types of support unit that can't be put into brigades, yet divisions of the major powers tended to have all of them by the end of the war. Given that, can Recon and Engineer units please be available as battalions that can be added to brigades so that we can still build historical divisional templates?
In regards to MP's, one of their key functions within a division is actually traffic control. Suppression of partisans is mostly done by ordinary soldiers mounting patrols, conducting sweeps or standing guard at key locations etc. As such, partisan suppression should be a mission that can be given to any unit (much like HOI2 if my memory serves) and would prevent that unit from moving, digging in, training or preparing to follow a battle plan. Adding MP's to a division should give it a small boost to movement or reduce Org loss from moving.
In regards to logistics units, all divisions had them (and usually more than 1 company - late war British divisions had 4 quite large companies) and didn't eat or receive ammunition without them. I think a better unit would be a motor transport unit, giving a non-motorised unit a boost to movement at the cost of additional fuel consumption. This would allow one of the key differences between British/US infantry divisions to be shown vs their German or Italian opponents. The Allied divisions included lots of motor vehicles even though they were not fully motorised. Infantrymen did not have dedicated transport but just about everyone else did, however a significant percentage of the infantry could be transported at any one time with vehicles working a shuttle system. This gave them significant mobility advantages. In fact Rommel called British Infantry Divisions in the desert "motorised" and lamented his Italian infantry's comparative lack of mobility. Another unit that could be available as an either/or with the Motor Transport company could be a Pack Train - giving a unit better mobility in difficult terrain.

I count 4 slots in the support column... so which one's the fifth slot? The one on the far right? Why not have five slots down the left and make it clear?

I'm fine with there being no OOB. Do they add anything to the game other than flavor? After all the command organization is not implementated - you the player get to play as division commander, crops commander, army commander, supreme commander all rolled into one. As such the HOI4 system of ad hoc groups makes more sense to me.
I think that the OOB should be included. This isn't CK 2 or EU 4 dealing with hundreds of years of history. HOI is specifically focused on combat. We shouldn't be seeing generic "stacks" of units led by <insert famous general here>. I feel like PDX will have taken two steps back, one step forward if they go with the HOI 2 OOB instead of the HOI 3 OOB.
Also, allows for more customization and easier tracking of theaters, groups, etc... Would be lovely to be able to see how much supply HG Nord needs instead of having to get out pen and paper and adding up individual supply needs of each division in that area.
Duritz said:
The 5th slot will be added when you unlock the 4th
I gotta say I'm not particularly thrilled with the "gamification" done here.
By this I mean :
1) Having more options than there are slots
2) Having to "pay" to expand divisions.
1) On the one hand, in real-life, if you are talking about a US/UK/GER/USSR division, particularly armored or mechanized, even a cursory look over the TO&Es will reveal that it was not uncommon for a division to have everything. All the support needed. AT/AA/Artillery/Engineers/Recon/Signals/Fields Hospital, the works. It feels gratuitous to make the player choose. And moreover, to make the player be unable to field divisions with historical TO&Es.
Non-combat Support Battalions feel like needless feature creep in particular. Virtually all divisions from all nations that fielded regular armies did in fact have some form of divisional Logistic+Maintenance/Field Hospital/Signal support formations. To make the player have to choose to sacrifice, what, realistically, is part and parcel of the organization of even the lowliest Romanian reserve infantry division is... puzzling.
2) "Paying" to expand divisions.
That's not how it works.
Making a division bigger isn't that big of a deal from an organization point of view. It is, however, a much greater effort industrially. Particularly in the case of frontline units, especially armored and mechanized formations.
Again, a cursory look over historical TO&Es will reveal that in fact divisions have gotten smaller(!) as the war went on. Actually, it was closer to an expansion of support assets. The number of battalions didn't change overall (besides deliberate expansions), but the number of support assets increased. So in 1941 a division might have 8 frontline battalions + support. In 1944 that would have transitioned to 2 x (4 x frontline battalions + support). The difference is that there's now twice the amount of support on the field for the same 8 frontline battalions.
However... going by the systems set up, it's just a straight shot. "Bigger is better. Mother Russia stronk!". When ironically, the USSR embraced the Brigade as the main operational element. As in just 1 Regiment + Division's worth of support. This resulted, of course, in the Soviet forces having more artillery and AT support (among other things) per frontline battalion.
And this point is among so many other particular elements that will be swept aside by the tide of player-designed 25-battalion/5-brigade divisions. Which is just too bad.

I agree. I was fine with dropping divisional commanders to reduce time and clicks needed, but there should at least be corps and armies with a level of higher HQ which has regional responsibilities. In reality a theatre commander has a very limited ability to influence the performance of any particular division under his command, with each lower level of command exercising exponentially greater influence. HOI4 leaving that out is a step backwards from HOI3.
Beautiful! Not to be negative, but surely any modern (1940's) Army would be using every single one of those support "companies"???
Why not support battalions?
And what about the OOB!!!! These things belong at the Corps level for the most part. Such potential with an OOB that utilizes Corps, Army, Army Group etc... as force multipliers/centers of supply. Instead of supplying 100+ divisions with 400+ support companies we could just supply 25 Corps and 100 support battalions. (assuming 4 support companies/battalions per division/corps)
Afaik, all the support companies/battallions Johan mentioned also existed at divvisional level. Check niehorsbat site.
By the way. Finally we see some counters. If we could only see them instead of 10 kms soldiers...

But I will puzzle about these support companies. I wish I were getting everything...

Nelfe said:
Is it possible to add more than one of the same support company in one template ?
For example, I want to create a MP specialized infantry template, can I set 5 times the MP support or not ?
Yea... I kind of abused it too much so it's no longer possible. It didn't feel right either to have several of the same unit IMO. But I guess you could always mod it if you really want it.

There are non-frontage battalions available to put in the combat brigades, including Art, and I guess, R.Art and AT.
If you have no Field Hospital it doesn't mean you have no medics in the Div. Adding the FH just adds extra capability to the Div to deal with casualties at the front, instead of sending them to (abstracted) rear organisations.
Similarly with Logistics. Supplies still arrive because they come from rear abstracted logistics services. The support company adds extra capability into the Div.
It doesn't mean bigger is better. You could start the game with nothing in the support brigade, but fairly big combat brigades. Then add support companies into the templates. Later reduce the size/number of the combat brigades. This causes the proportion of support elements to combat battalions to increase.

that would be a balance issue then if the rest arent worth picking. My guess is you'll pick certain configurations for certain types of templates (for expensive armored templates you'll want maintenance companies etc and for veterans and elites a hospital to conserve experience loss), my gut feeling is that 5 support on your main infantry will be much too expensive as well if you need many divisions.
Maybe allow divisions to use all the support companies, but give the support companies different levels so they can be specialized. Know what I mean? Just a thought.

No. NATO symbols, instead of the Paradox icons. As promised from the start. Let's not confuse these with the counters and start another pointless counters discussion

quick question, do we still have FUEL CONSUMPTION? I couldn't find it in last screenshots with soviet forces...

Yeah, you right. If you can add 5 FH to your template, it's kinda overpowered... But if it can be modded, I'll take a look at it

<...> Later reduce the size/number of the combat brigades. <...>
Given that modification of divisional structures is now done solely through swapping out templates, *that* is something I'm keen to see how it works. That = transitioning from a larger template to a smaller one.

When a Virginia mayor publicly disapproved of allowing Syrian refugees a chance at asylum in the United States, he did so by evoking the internment camps of World War II. Roanoke Mayor David Bowers mentioned that President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the camps, but not what transpired following their closure. What Bowers said is a reminder that the United States cannot repeat history with Syrian refugees as the country's latest victims of discrimination.
The mayor's comments have outraged many and have come off as offensive and tone deaf. What Bowers failed to mention was that it was actually Japanese Americans, not foreign nationals, who were sequestered in the camps and that the country retroactively condemned the internment camps, even issuing reparations to those affected by them. Citizens lost their homes, were removed from their families, and had their entire way of life upended. This, sadly, isn't the first time the country has made a grave mistake in its treatment of citizens and refugees alike, especially when it comes to internment camps and relocation.
During the height of World War II, President Roosevelt authorized a series of acts that detained "enemy aliens," arresting not only Japanese Americans but also German Americans and Italian Americans, holding them in internment camps. Italian Americans — especially those in working class fields like the fishing industry — lost their livelihoods, including boats and other property. Families were forced to make the difficult decision to voluntarily move into internment camps to be with their relatives who may have been detained alone. The mistreatment of citizens was enough to compel the state of California to pass Resolution 95, which acknowledged and formally apologized to Italian American citizens for injustices brought against them in internment camps.
Likewise, German Americans were also forced into internment camps. Many of these proclaimed "enemy aliens" faced ambiguous trials that offered little evidence in terms of credibility, according to the National Archive. The program for Italian Americans, German Americans, and Japanese Americans spread all the way to Latin America. Following a 1942 conference in which the Emergency Advisory Committee for Political Defense was established, suspect citizens — many of whom were even born in the countries they resided in — faced similar discrimination. Repatriation programs were established as well, forcing citizens back to the country of their nationality and further fracturing families.
Japanese Americans were by far the largest population facing imprisonment in World War II internment camps. Over 110,000 citizens were forced into camps around the country: they were first moved to inhospitable holding centers, then to cramped living quarters where they were monitored nonstop. Though schools and additional services were set up in the camps, Japanese Americans faced an unwelcoming environment that was worlds away from their previous lives as free citizens. Citizens posed no threat to the country and were simply targeted because of their ethnicity. The 1988 Civil Liberties Act, which was signed by then-President Ronald Reagan, attempted to right that wrong by providing compensation as well as an apology to survivors of Japanese American internment camps.
Entire tribes of Native Americans were forced to relocate following the Indian Removal Act of 1830, in which Cherokees and others were moved to designated territories for the sake of the United States reaping the benefits of gold discovered in Georgia. Once again, internment camps played a factor during this relocation, with many Native Americans waiting in facilities before embarking on a dangerous, potential fatal journey at the behest of the U.S. government. Even then, many citizens noted that history would not look kindly upon the Native American removal. Pvt. John G. Burnett, a soldier involved in the operation, wrote that "future generations will read and condemn the act."

Chateau to Get $8.9M Makeover
BALTIMORE, MD-The dilapidated Chateau apartment building will undergo an $8.9-million redevelopment with the help of a recent $1.1-million loan from the city. The 80-year-old building will ultimately offer 42 units.
By Barbra Murray | July 18, 2002 at 01:01 AM
BALTIMORE, MD-An $8.9-million restoration of the historic but downtrodden Chateau apartment building at 903 Druid Park Lake Dr. moves forward with the Baltimore City Board of Estimates' recent granting of a $1.1-million loan to the team of developers behind the project. Upon completion, the 42-unit vacant structure will offer 47 rental apartments, three-quarters of which will be reserved for low-income residents.
Chateau Housing Partnership–comprised of Pennrose Properties Inc., Halliday Properties and Consolidated Investment & Management Group–acquired the structure from Gulf National Corp., which marketed Chateau through Ben Frederick Realty for $525,000. Baltimore's Department of Housing and Community Development had planned to demolish the 80-year-old, eight-story eyesore and replace it with a park before Pennrose decided to refurbish the Chateau, just as it had refurbished the dilapidated apartment building next door.
The project's financing derives from $2.5 million in low-interest loans, $3.3 million in federal low-income housing tax credits and $2.3 million in historic tax credit financing. The addition of affordable housing as well as the desire to revitalize the Reservoir Hill neighborhood has spurred local government interest. Groundbreaking is anticipated to take place later this summer.
The measure may be little more than a temporary boost for struggling renters and small landlords.

Q: How to create truly dynamic forms with angular schema I am trying to create a pattern that dynamically generates schema forms.
I will only be allowing 3-4 different types ( checklist, string, image, radio).

  $scope.model = [];

  $scope.schema = [];

  $scope.form = [

  ];

 function BuildDynamicForm(item){

    $('#dynamicFormDiv').empty();

        var newModel = {};

        var newSchema = {
            type: 'object',
            properties: {
            }
        };

        var newForm = [

        ];

        var groupIndex = key;

        // build dynamic form on a md-card
        if(value.Group != undefined){

            var template = '<md-card> ' +
                '<form>' +
                    '

                '</form>' +
            '</md-card>'

            $('#dynamicFormDiv').append(template);

            // go through each group field
