Erica Tremblay's Filmography is Reshaping Our Media Landscape
by FF2 Guest Post
Arts: Cinema Arts Features
When I first pitched an article about the newest season of Reservation Dogs – the hit FX dramedy following a group of Indigenous teens navigating grief, identity, and young adulthood on their Oklahoma Reservation – FF2's EIC Jan Lisa Huttner sent me an IMDb link. It wasn't for Taika Waititi or Sterlin Harjo (the Indigenous co-creators of the show who have racked up countless excellent film and television credits). The link wasn't even for the main cast members (three teens and a young adult who act the hell out of their leading roles). It was for Erica Tremblay.
Guest Post by Alexa Silverman
A click followed by some digging (read: combing through countless interviews in publications such as Sundance, Cinema Femme, and Vice) led me to get to know Erica Tremblay, as well as the many projects she has written, directed, and produced over the last ten years. And I am so grateful that I did.
Erica's filmography is noteworthy in a number of different ways…
A member of the Seneca-Cayuga tribe, Erica grew up in the Midwestern United States. She identifies as queer as well as Indigenous. Both identities are at the heart of Erica's work, which began in the documentary genre but has shifted to include narrative film and, as of this year, television. Erica's filmography is noteworthy in a number of different ways: she brings to life marginalized stories from page to screen, shedding light on narratives systemically sidelined from mainstream media.
In conversation with Adam Piron for Sundance's blog, Erica revealed, in her own words, the kinds of creative projects she feels inspired to produce: "I really just want to continue exploring stories that we don't see, and I want to work through my own stories and the questions about the world that I have… I want to continue to make films that challenge our expectations of what belonging means and challenges our expectations of what identity means." The importance of creating and producing Indigenous narratives on screen is a vital beat encapsulated within Erica's work.
Little Chief – a 2020 Sundance short written and directed by Erica – is both a reflection of and homage to her Indigenous identity. The dramatic short highlights the impacts of underfunded reservation schooling. We catch a glimpse of the life of Sharon (Lily Gladstone), a burdened reservation schoolteacher struggling to care for her students. Little Chief emphasizes Erica's affinity for visual storytelling through its sparse dialogue. The final shot, which sees Sharon sit quietly on a grassy hill beside a distraught fifth-grader named Bear, expresses that there is solace in silence. When words fail a situation – particularly one of trauma – comfort can come from the simple act of being with another.
Insistence on healing through community is reflected in an earlier project of Erica's…
Insistence on healing through community is reflected in an earlier project of Erica's, a moving documentary entitled In the Turn (2014). In the Turn follows Crystal, a young trans girl, as she regains her sense of self through the support of a queer roller derby collective called the Vagine Regime. The sheer unconditional acceptance the VR skaters provide for Crystal – a victim of intense bullying and discriminatory school sports policies – is as heartwarming as it is validating.
Alongside writing and directing the documentary, Erica is a featured derby skater with the moniker "Go-Go Gidget." The deeply personal perspective Erica breathes into this film is felt in every shot – from each skater narrating her different journey to the collective, to a queer after-hours burlesque show at a local bar, to footage of Crystal's mother skating with her smiling daughter and her little brother holding on to her hips – and beyond: it is fitting that a documentary that articulates the power of queer community was originally crowdfunded by an online Vagine Regime Kickstarter campaign.
2022 marked Erica's television debut with Dark Winds and season two of Reservation Dogs. The acclaimed series Dark Winds premiered in June on AMC, with Tremblay onboard as the Executive Story Editor for all six episodes. Based on a popular book series, Dark Winds is a thrilling Western crime drama that witnesses 1970s Oklahoma Reservation Chief Joe Leaphorn (an absolutely excellent performance by Zahn McClarnon) uncover the truth behind gruesome Reservation murders as a large-scale criminal conspiracy unravels nearby.
Erica wrote the fifth episode, entitled "Ha'íínlni." The episode was the perfect penultimate construct: it tied together enough ends so that the finale hit the mark of both story resolution and character preservation. Dark Winds reinvigorates the detective genre. The plot illuminates struggles of Indigenous sovereignty, spirituality, and injustice. Dark Winds is a show that, despite author Tony Hillerman's original 1970s setting, is more relevant than ever. Plus, we can look forward to more, as Dark Winds has already been renewed for a second season.
Airing as I write this is the highly-anticipated second season of Reservation Dogs, the FX/Hulu show people can't stop talking about – myself included – and for good reason. Rez Dogs is fun, heartbreaking, thoughtful, genuine, witty, and worth as many rewatches as possible. Erica joined the writer's room for the second season. She is credited as an Executive Story Editor for all episodes and she directed episode three, "Roofing."
The primary plot of the episode sees Bear Smallhill (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai) air out his masculinity and father troubles while performing a roofing job for a day. It is almost a bottle episode but not quite, with most of the footage at a construction site against a bright blue sky. The wide landscape of half-built houses with unfinished roofs and exposed beams is reminiscent of footage from Erica's early film Heartland: A Portrait of Survival (2012), a harrowing documentary that observes the emotional and physical destruction from a deadly tornado that struck the town of Joplin (MO). In the documentary, Erica – Heartland's co-writer, producer, and director – pans to countless homes ravaged from the storm; although, in the case of Reservation Dogs, the houses featured are being built rather than destroyed. The eerily empty landscape – a background not seen before in Reservation Dogs – provides, quite literally, the open space for Bear to converse with the other men on the roof about what 'being a man' means to them.
"…are you sure you want me to direct the episode about men and masculinity?"
The other setting on the construction site is the inside of a port-a-potty, a stark contrast to the wide open sky Erica maintains in her earlier frames. It's a humorous setting for a quick heart-to-heart with Bear's unwanted spiritual guide, a comical recurring character credited as "Spirit" (Dallas Goldtooth). Erica posted on her Instagram the day of the episode premiere with a heartfelt caption reading: "When @sterlinharjo asked me to direct the roofing episode, I was like, are you sure you want me to direct the episode about men and masculinity? He was like, yeah, put your damn gaze on it. Well, I showed up on day one during the heaviest flow of my period and did just that." Erica's episode melted seamlessly into the Reservation Dogs' canon of playful stylistic elements punctuated by deep, thoughtful dialogue.
Erica also wrote episode six, "Decolonativization," which airs this week.
Erica Tremblay tells genuine stories that are directly voiced by primarily Indigenous and queer communities. Through and beyond her work we are fortunate to witness the beginning of a shift in Indigenous media representation, to behind the camera (and in the costume and makeup trailers, writer's room, and producer's offices) as well as in front. Erica's deeply humanistic approach to filmmaking is more than needed in today's media landscape, and my only regret is not finding her work sooner. Erica Tremblay is one to watch – and well-worth watching.

18 thinkers on the Sidewalk Labs plan / Data deluge, astronomers turn to automation / Feeding the 11 billion / Spoils of nature on Instagram — No.93
With everyone back from vacation, a couple of client projects have reactivated, which means in coming months I have only 2 other open slots for larger or recurring projects, and gaps here and there for 1-2 day engagements. Have a look on the homepage for some details on what I do and hit reply to know more or get a collaboration going.
This week: 18 big thinkers take a critical look at the Sidewalk Labs plan / Faced with a data deluge, astronomers turn to automation / Feeding the 11 billion: the tiny Dutch town ending our food crisis / Jeffrey Epstein's influence in the science world is a symptom of larger problems / Spoils of #nature on Instagram
A year ago: Reading with a pencil (Austin Kleon).
18 big thinkers take a critical look at Sidewalk Labs
Toronto Life magazine "asked 18 super-smart people to tell us what they think." From Doctorow to Zuboff and Florida, to Bianca Wylie who's not only thinking about these issues but doing the hard work of changing things on the ground. The series starts with the backstory, followed by short pieces. As with all city-specific articles I share here, they are all lessons, warnings, or models for smart cities in general.
[Wylie] We as a society—and not just Toronto—don't fully understand when and how to hold tech companies accountable. This invites democratic disruption and loss of resident power. It won't happen with a bang. It will happen through gradual erosion over years and years. And it will be driven by profit. […]
Sidewalk Labs isn't asking for explicit ownership or control of public infrastructure, or to privatize it outright. They wouldn't be so direct. Think about how tech companies never "own" your data, but you grant them unlimited licence, and with it, power, control, and the capacity to monetize it. Now imagine that digital infrastructure and data running through every one of the proposed systems Sidewalk Labs seeks to design—energy, water, transportation, garbage and more. […]
[Zuboff] Toronto now stands first in line to become surveillance capitalism's real-world petri dish. Sidewalk's proposals reveal the full arc of the new logic. With astonishing audacity, it claims the city as its laboratory and the lives of citizens as its free raw material for data creation, ownership, computation and monetization. […]
The real outcome here is the privatization of the city. In this version of our digital future, algorithms replace laws, as the computational truths that expand private capital's revenue streams replace democratic municipal governance. The city is no longer a crucible of creativity, which is innately unpredictable. Instead it becomes a zone of certainty for the sake of profit. […]
[Doctorow (I like his vision.)] A phone that knows about you—but doesn't tell anyone what it knows about you—would be your interface to a better smart city. The city's systems could stream data to your device, which could pick the relevant elements out of the torrent: the nearest public restroom, whether the next bus has a seat for you, where to get a great sandwich. […]
Your device could present you with a list of possible things to do and ways to do them without telling anyone else about it, because, frankly, it's none of their business. You then choose what to do, and your device gathers feedback to help it improve its suggestions in the future. You become the intelligence, acting on your behalf, expressing your unique human ability to comprehend the world.
Faced with a Data Deluge, Astronomers Turn to Automation
Basically, searching for stuff in space generates massive and ever growing amounts of data, which need to be processed (at least in part) in as close to realtime as possible so collaborating observatories can hand off coordinates and things to look for. Various groups are trying to implement AI to treat the data much faster, while looking at more parameters. Seems promising and includes questions around the black box problem.
"For each black hole merger signal that LIGO has detected that has been reported in publications, we can reconstruct all these parameters in two milliseconds," Huerta says. In contrast, the traditional algorithms can take days to accomplish the same task. […]
When complete, the 8.4-meter LSST will be able to observe 10 square degrees of the sky at once (equivalent in size to 40 full moons), producing 15 to 20 terabytes of raw data each night—the same amount of data generated by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey over the course of a decade. […]
"If we are developing or constructing these next-generation instruments to study the universe in high fidelity, we also better design better algorithms to process this data."
Feeding the 11 billion: the tiny Dutch town ending our food crisis
Wired UK with a visit to multiple researchers at Wageningen University and Research (WUR) where some possible futures of food are being developed. Covers the gamut: edible insects, fake steak, CRISPR-Cas changes for resistance (coeliac-safe gluten!), taste detectives, fuelling green growth, rural robotics, and vanilla flowers.
But crops grown exclusively under [LED] red light can experience abnormal growth, known as "red light syndrome". So blue light is added to help normal development. While each crop has a unique light "fingerprint", most of Unifarm's crops can be found under this careful balance of growth-boosting red and regulating blue. […]
Insects reared on organic waste serve as both food production and waste reduction – a triumph in circular agriculture, where yield and use of resources are optimised for minimal impact on the environment. […]
The PTR-QiTOF equipment thus "smells" the coffee, detecting minute differences in quality that are mapped out with statistical methods, forming two little clouds of data: organic on one side, non-organic on the other. […]
Depending on the species, and how it's grown, algae are capable of producing proteins, lipids and starches. More than 15,000 new chemical compounds have been discovered in algae in recent years. […]
Jeffrey Epstein's influence in the science world is a symptom of larger problems
As I've mentioned on Twitter, this is not really a "beat" I like to cover, but since I've featured the Media Lab and Joichi Ito a bunch of times, I feel I had to include something about this crisis the lab is going through. I decided to go with Kate Darling, who's hopeful and investing herself in change. She also told Nicholas Negroponte to shup up to his face, in public, which takes a lot of guts.
Ultimately, I no longer believe that I can enact true change without the help of powerful allies. In my experience, one of the few people who is even capable of enacting change at MIT is Joi Ito. I hate what he did and I do not defend his actions. But I also know that he may actually act to fix his mistakes. Over the past eight years, I've observed him listen, introspect, and take action, even where it would have been easier for him to stay the course. […]
And just as I'm calling on men to do, I want to be here as an ally. I want to stay and use whatever amount of power and privilege I have to fight for those who have less, who are vulnerable and need protection, who are being suppressed and excluded, and who need to be given a voice.
More: Ethan Zuckerman has also taken a strong stance.
Update: This one by Ronan Farrow exploded on the scene after I wrapped this issue up so I'm only adding the link but important: How An Élite University Research Center Concealed Its Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Spoils of #nature on Instagram
Aaaarghhhh!!!! Excellent feature at Beside magazine (English version of something they did in French with Radio-Canada) on the plague of the crowds "doing it for the 'Gram." That's why we can't have nice things, second order effects, get off my lawn, sign of the apocalypse, etc.
On a smartphone screen, a woman balances on a half-submerged tree trunk. Turquoise water stretches out on all sides, with the blurred reflection of a mountain, pine trees, and a glacier. Alone in the world, in an intimate moment with nature, she contemplates the beauty that surrounds her. She's smiling. It's the "perfect" picture.
Perfect framing, colouring, construction, mood, and in the perfect setting. Yet on the other side of the camera, 20 people are lined up to immortalize the same perfect scene, on the same log. Several small groups orbit around, telephones in hand. A portable speaker spews "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen into the landscape. […]
It's clear that social media has contributed to the popularity of this place. Several people told me they learned about the park's existence from Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. "We saw the geotag for Joffre Lakes with the pictures, and it created a bit of a domino effect," a hiker explained as she stepped off the log. […]
But that feeling of luck evaporated about three years ago when Joffre Lakes started to be smothered under record numbers of visitors. "The workload increased, the park-use numbers skyrocketed, and these beautiful, sacred places began to feel like a Best Buy on Boxing Day," Charlie says.
???? The guys at Future Crunch have an excellent newsletter and a Patreon they use to collect money they then give to charities. This month they picket Glia after learning about the project here on Sentiers. So, you know, yeah!
? Not sure how realistic these things are but from a purely aesthetic perspective, I like them. Keeping an eye on those project. The Urban Village Project (by Space 10) and vivihouse.
? @thejaymo with some things to ponder. The Internet Isn't All One Thing "Half articulated thoughts on Waldenponding, literal content and UX verticality, the demands of the attention economy and why return to the Isles of blogging.".
Was hoping to feature this but, although the company is interesting, the article is a bit "light." Still, worth knowing about: Inside Graphcore, the UK unicorn that's about to become the Intel of AI. "So we've set about trying to solve those two problems – intelligence is a different workload, and focusing on efficiency and not speed – with our IPU."
?? by Fall of Civilizations Podcast: Today, we know that Sahara Desert as a vast sea of sand and salt flats. But up until around 5,000 years ago, this is how it looked. It was a green landscape of Savannahs, lakes and rivers where early humans lived, hunted and fished.
?? Excellent ? by Amanda Palmer: crowdfunding – whether it's kickstarter, indiegogo, patreon, or just a band pre-selling their album on their website instead of working with a corporation – is just a simple trust-based agreement between consenting adults. if you don't want to be involved, great. don't consent.
⌛ We Might Be Reaching 'Peak Indifference' on Climate Change. "But at some point, a crisis gets so bad that it becomes unignorable. Our indifference reaches a peak, begins to decline—and panic emerges. This could describe what we're now seeing in the climate polling. Media coverage and real-life events have finally broken through to folks: "Increasingly they're saying, 'Wait a minute, this is happening right here, right now,' "."
??? Woah! Russian satellite creeps up to Intelsat satellite – again. "What we've observed is this satellite moves around the geostationary belt and it will sidle up close to other satellites and stay there for a while, and then move along to other satellites," explained Harrison. "So that suggests that it's some sort of inspection or data collection vehicle."

I had prepared myself to approach my experience of midwifery in Ghana with an open mind.
I wanted to contribute in any way possible, and gain (although over a short period of 5 weeks) some insight into midwifery in this part of the world.My experience in the pre-natal ward, labour ward, and post-natal (lying in ward) in Koforidua Regional Hospital has been challenging to say the least.
As a midwife working in Australia, it had been a dream of mine for many years to volunteer in Africa.
I was excited when I came across uVolunteer during my online research, as it offered affordable volunteer programs, and more specifically Midwifery placements. The uVolunteer website was thorough and informative, offering an easy step-by-step enrollment process. It was extremely helpful to have correspondence with the organization via email to answer my questions regarding my trip to Ghana, such as Visa requirements etc.
With the inevitable nerves of excitement and apprehension of embarking on my adventure to Ghana, it was such a relief and comfort to be welcomed at the airport by Nathaniel and Annette.
Their reassurance and advice has been invaluable during my stay. Especially initially when I felt somewhat overwhelmed and experiencing the vulnerabilities and challenges of culture shock.
The other volunteer and I had an orientation day that offered useful tips and essential information on Ghanaian culture and history. It was also very helpful to have Annette take us for a tour around town. We were shown how the to get to the hospital in Koforidua, and were able to look around the hospital grounds before our first day of volunteering.
I had prepared myself to approach my experience of midwifery in Ghana with an open mind. I wanted to contribute in any way possible, and gain (although over a short period of 5 weeks) some insight into midwifery in this part of the world.
My experience in the pre-natal ward, labour ward, and post-natal (lying in ward) in Koforidua Regional Hospital has been challenging to say the least. It is a busy place! With restricted /limited space and equipment, the experiences and choices of labouring and birthing women is greatly impacted and hence incomparable to back home.
Women share the space of one room to labour. They have only their own strength to get them through their journey. There are no pain relief options, nor is there support from a significant other.
It has been an experience I will never forget. It has given me great respect for the strength and resilience of child bearing women in this country! And reinforced the confronting and often humbling reality of just how much we take for granted.
After what was often a challenging week at the hospital, the 3 day weekends have been a wonderful opportunity to get on a tro tro and explore the beautiful and diverse country of Ghana.
It has been the friendly and welcoming nature of the Ghanaian people that has made my time here so enjoyable. They have been more than willing to help me when requiring directions or advice while travelling.
It has also been great to live with another volunteer in the dorm, as it makes the initial adventures in Ghana much less daunting. By the end of my 7 weeks here I feel completely safe to travel on my own in the tro tros, which was something that I felt completely overwhelmed by when I first arrived here.
The dorm now feels like my home in Ghana. It has been a comfortable and friendly environment to stay, with living arrangement beyond my expectations.
If you are a healthcare professional and choosing a Health Care placement, make sure you arrange your verification of registration early; allowing enough time for your registration to arrive and be processed in Ghana!
Embrace the power cuts and moments of no running water as part of your adventure in Ghana!
Come to Ghana with an open mind.


Imagine for a moment that, instead of the office cubicle you may be stuck in right now, you could move around to different kinds of spaces, depending on the day's to-do list.
You might start out at your desk, then tote your laptop to a small enclave for an impromptu meeting with a few teammates. After lunch in a social hub, where you'd get the chance to chat with people from other departments, maybe you'd spend an hour or two at a bar-height workstation where you could stand instead of sit, then head to a designated quiet space to focus on a task.
O'Brien, who works in Zurich's North American headquarters in Schaumburg, Ill., near Chicago, was involved in the company's novel effort to redesign its office space. Rather than rely on architects and designers to guess what kind office layout would help employees get the most work done with the least friction, the insurer turned to the 2,500 people in its present headquarters for answers.
The company started with detailed surveys last year. Then it took the experiment one step further, building four different sample office spaces. Each pilot floor included a different combination of 22 features employees said they'd like to see, from flexible-sized conference rooms, to low-walled workstations that let in outside light, to a "social hub" where colleagues could meet for lunch, coffee, or just to hang out and talk.
Then, from early September into mid-December last year, 150 employees, including O'Brien, quit their cubicles and spent 12 weeks trying out the new spaces. The parts most people liked best, and found most useful, will be built into the new headquarters, which is scheduled to open about a mile down the road from Zurich's current cube-filled building in the fall of 2016.
Kyung's team is still analyzing the data from the 12-week trial, but some results are already clear. The pilot offices seem to have made collaboration easier. Christopher Zittnan, who does predictive analytics for Zurich, found that quick meetings with coworkers in enclaves designed for that purpose mean "you don't lose your train of thought by dropping what you're doing and going to someone else's cube to talk to them," he says. "It makes a big difference in how well you use your time," and it reduces the need to write multiple emails to explain things that are often far easier to convey in a short conversation.
Not every company is willing or able to crowdsource the design of a new office space. Zurich used 30,000 square feet of existing space to house the four prototypes. "It's costly," notes Meg Osman, who leads a team from design firm Cannon Design that is working with Zurich on the project.
Adds Kyung, "Usually, when you try to move large numbers of people from a familiar workplace to a new one, there's a lot of anxiety. Instead, we're finding there's tremendous buzz." At a time when employers are looking for ways to hold on to skilled employees, the move could turn out to be a pretty smart investment.


On November 16, 1973 the museum was opened in Zavyalovo. The building is old, it has two stores. The museum is situated in the centre of the village. The two rooms of the museum contain over 5 thousands of exhibits, photographs, drawing, books, pictures and others. They illustrate the life and the work of the working people of our district. Here visitors can see editions of our local poet G.V. Charicov, historical documents of the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War, the Local Wars and labor life, letters to relatives and comrades, their belongings. The main aims of the museum are collection, count, learning, publication and restoration of the museum exhibits, photographs, documents and others. The museum organizes lectures, seminars, readings, lessons for young people, meetings with War, Labour veterans. Special department in the museum is devoted to the history of culture of the local people, their traditions, customs. You can see table, bed, clothes, handicrafts and other Russian exhibits in "Russian izba"

International Inequalities Institute
Cities, Jobs and Economic Change
We argue for a move away from the neo-classical economics framework which dominates policy-making, towards consideration of market failures and the importance of planning.
Professor David Soskice
III Research theme from 2019 to 2022 led by Professor Neil Lee.
The information technology revolution has led to huge changes in society, reshaping social relationships, the type of work we do, and patterns of consumption. Many countries have seen a decline in mid-skill, mid-wage jobs, with polarisation between high skill, high pay employment and low skill, low pay (and often precarious) work. There is often an increasing divide between the experiences and prospects of those who enter the labour market as university graduates and those who do not.
One striking feature of economic change has been its tendency to concentrate economic prosperity in selected locations. In high income countries the loss of industrial employment has been a feature of all major cities and towns, but the knowledge-based service economy has flourished in only a small number of these places. Other once-thriving urban areas are 'left behind', struggling to replace their historical economic purpose. As concentrations of skilled workers and high-wage industries in prosperous cities increasingly become the driver of national economic prosperity, geographic divides in education, employment opportunities, political attitudes and cultural values have been thrown into sharp relief. Discontent with this uneven geography of opportunity is manifest in the rise of populist politics across Europe and the United States, challenging the stability of democratic societies.
Our research theme ties together LSE academics who are interested in developing an internationally comparative, cross-disciplinary and multidimensional approach to these issues. Other strands will investigate the institutional responses to technological change, such as the failure of education systems to meet the increased demand for high skilled labour and sub-optimal investment in research and development. We will engage quantitative and qualitative researchers to understand both broad economic processes and everyday lived experiences.
The theme is organised around four core problems:
1. First is the problem of managing growing spatial economic inequality. Central governments have policies to manage the national economy, but what can help poorer cities and towns?
2. Second is strengthening the link between increased aggregate demand and quality employment. Some of our fastest-growing, most 'successful' cities also contain the most precarious and poorest workers. How do 'good' jobs get created, and how can labour market inequalities between men and women or across ethnic groups be reduced?
3. Third, how can successful, growing urban areas ensure a strong link between economic growth and individual human welfare? This will include investigating the relational aspects and lived experience of inequality in urban areas, and the relationship between inequalities and social mobility.
4. Finally, to what extent is growing spatial inequality leading to social division? In particular, processes of selective migration are both a cause and a consequence of political divisions between richer and poorer places. We are working to unpick the implications of these processes and how they can be understood.
Professor Neil Lee is a Professor of Economic Geography at LSE. He is also Director of the BSc in Geography with Economics. He joined the Department in 2013, having previously been Head of Socio-Economic Research at The Work Foundation, a think-tank. He holds a PhD in Economic Geography from LSE and was a visiting scholar at TCLab, Columbia University. He has also been Visiting Professor at Science Po Toulouse.
His research considers economic development, innovation, public policy, and inequality. Recent studies have considered the impact of high-technology sectors on low-wage labour markets, access to finance for SMEs in cities across the world, and new forms of innovation policy. Current projects include an investigation into innovation in Kuwait, a comparative study of innovative clusters in East Asia, and research on the geography of populism. He is also working on inclusive growth and inclusive innovation policy. He has worked with public and private sector organisations including NESTA, the World Bank, the OECD, the European Commission, and the UK government.

Ethnographic solutions to inequalities in South Asian advicescapes
This project led by Professor David Lewis is part of the Atlantic Equity Challenge organised by the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.
The provision of business advice is an important, yet little studied, aspect of contemporary social and economic change in the Global South, with important implications for the reproduction of rural-urban and social inequalities. An extensive industry of business advice-giving exists in South Asia, involving public and non-governmental sectors, and increasingly, private firms. This shift reflects a growing private sector emphasis in development, towards economic growth driven initiatives, entrepreneurship, and a focus on small and medium enterprises. This transformation has altered streams of business advice and finance: steering microfinance into business finance, and shifting informal lending towards formal debt.
The context for this study is the expanding un- and under-employed youth demographic that exists against the backdrop of business and entrepreneurship that is increasingly central to development initiatives. The focus of the study is the practice of giving business advice to young people aged 18 to 25 as potential entrepreneurs. Such advicescapes are more complex than they appear to formal advice-delivery agents, and entangle kin, religious leaders and elders as informal advice agents as well. The presence of discriminatory practices in advicescapes are less visible to these formal advice providers, who may be unwitting perpetrators of bias. Attitudes and other subtle aspects are neither monitored nor measured. These issues lend themselves to the ethnographic approach to be taken in the proposed research. The project's overarching research question is: "Can entrepreneurial advice-giving address inequalities of access and outcome for young people in rural and urban south Asia?"

Social media and the crisis of urban inequality: transnational analyses of humanitarian responses across the Middle East, South Asia and Africa
This project led by Dr Romola Sanyal is part of the Atlantic Equity Challenge organised by the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity.
Spanning three sites in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, this project will examine how social media is used to navigate the terrain between humanitarianism and inequality in the Global South. Inequality should not only be studied in humanitarian crisis settings, but should itself be seen as a humanitarian crisis, especially in cities. The inequality of the social and legal conditions of the urban poor, migrants and refugees, which limit their access to jobs and housing, are multidimensional, produced vertically through income/wealth, horizontally through ethnic identity, migration status, gender and age, and through space and institutional practices.
The project will consider how social and communications media play a key role in alleviating and exacerbating inequalities. Social and communications media are tools of self-organisation that help displaced people and migrants arrive in cities, and access housing, jobs and transportation. But they also entrench inequalities, with a disconnect between the kinds of information that migrants, displaced and other community members receive and that are available to civil society, state and humanitarian actors. Thus information and communication can shape support and livelihoods, and also continue the exclusion of people as surplus populations. This role of social media as both enabler and excluder in conditions of crises remains underresearched, and is an area requiring policy development to improve rapid responses to urban shocks.

#BookReview: A Bond Undone (Legends of the Condor Heroes, #2) by Jin Yong
2:00 PM Crossroad Reviews No comments
Synopsis: In the Jin capital of Zhongdu, Guo Jing learns the truth of his father's death and finds he is now betrothed, against his will, to two women. Neither of them is his sweetheart Lotus Huang.
Torn between following his heart and fulfilling his filial duty, Guo Jing journeys through the country of his parents with Lotus, encountering mysterious martial heroes and becoming drawn into the struggle for the supreme martial text, the Nine Yin Manual. But his past is catching up with him.
The widow of an evil man he accidentally killed as a child has tracked him down, intent on revenge.
Meanwhile, his true parentage at last revealed, Yang Kang, the young prince Guo Jing must face in the Garden of the Eight Drunken Immortals, is forced to choose his destiny.
Will he continue to enjoy the life of wealth and privilege afforded to him by the invader of his homeland, or give up all he has known to avenge his parents?
About the Author: Jin Yong (pen name of Louis Cha) was a true phenomenon in the Chinese-speaking world. Born in Mainland China, he spent most of his life writing novels and editing newspapers in Hong Kong. His enormously popular martial arts novels have become modern classics and remain a must-read for readers looking for danger and adventure.
Gigi Chang translates from Chinese into English. Her translations include classical Chinese dramas for the Royal Shakespeare Company and contemporary Chinese plays for London's Royal Court Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Festival and Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre.
My Review: This story was just as addictive as book one. I could not put it down and can not wait for another one. I thought this was a pretty quick book to read even though it was pretty thick. I loved the characters and the aspect of martial arts that were in its pages. The pacing was very well done and I want to read another one soon. I hope that these get pick up for a movie or something because I would love to see this one the big screen.

"Full of noble heroes and pitched battles, Cha's stories were epic, featuring not just fantastical kung fu swordsmen who can fly and walk on water, but also complex characters and plots woven into dramatic historical events." – CNN
"Widely known by his pen name, Jin Yong, his work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars' combined." - The New Yorker
"[A Hero Born is] actually one of the most famous works by author Louis Cha (commonly known as Jin Yong), a Hong Kong writer beloved across the Chinese-speaking world." – NPR
"...his works were loved by generations - both in China and worldwide." - BBC
"The Hong Kong writer, Louis Cha, writing under the pen name Jin Yong from the mid-1950s through the rise of a movie star named Bruce Lee, created what have become the world's greatest and most beloved martial arts novels. When he passed in 2018, he left behind epic stories of betrayal and honor, intrigue and amour, slashing blades and flashing fists, and a dazzling parade of indelible characters that hundreds of millions of readers have come to love. The arrival of the U.S. edition of The Legends of the Condor Heroes is a major event. Welcome to the world of Jin Yong. Once you've entered, you may never want to leave." ― Jeff Chang, American Book Award Winner and author of Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation

"You'll be rooting for the heroes to the end." – SFX Magazine, 4 starred review
"Cha…created an imaginary world in his 15 novels – one featuring martial arts, poetry and plots with deep roots in Chinese history, culture and beliefs." – South China Morning Post
"Prepare to be swept along as our champion gallops towards his nemesis and destiny." – Daily Mail
"Jin Yong's stories have been passed down in the East from generation to generation and thus nurture people of all ages." - Yan Lianke, Man International Booker-shortlisted author

Wade v. Chacon
The Ghosts of Cesar Cedeno
Hurricane Harvey, Justin Verlander, and the Astros
Wednesday Morning Hot Links
The Astros lost 4-2. They're 12-4 in their last 16 games and stand at 90-50 on the season.
*The Yankees beat the Rangers, so they take the AL's best record by one game. There are 22 regular season games remaining, and four of them - Oakland at home next week - feature an opponent over .500. The next eight games are at Minute Maid Park.
*Zack Greinke threw one bad pitch to Eric Thames, which resulted in a 3-run home run: 6IP, 8H/4ER, 4K:0BB. It's his first Loss since July 14 and the first game he has started in which the Astros didn't win. Greinke smoked a single off Lyles, and then was promptly picked off. One of those kind of games. How did Greinke get picked off? Greinke:
I was trying to steal. Got nine career steals, trying to get 10. Don't know if I'll ever get there now. That was probably my last chance.
Next Astros game in a National League park is ideally World Series Game 3.
Worth noting that the Astros selected Eric Thames off waivers from the Orioles on September 5, 2013. He had not appeared in an MLB game since 2012, and he did not play for the Astros that September. The Astros released Thames on December 9, 2013 and went to play in Korea for three seasons, hit 124 home runs, and signed with the Brewers prior to 2017. I guess what I'm saying is that this loss is Luhnow's fault.
Maldonado caught Greinke for the first time since they were both with the Brewers in 2012, in order to get ready for the playoffs.
*Abraham Toro got his 1st career triple. Good work, Toro.
*Josh Reddick has not hit a home run since June 28, a span of 186 PAs, or 48 starts - extending a career-high set all the way back in 2018.
*George Springer had to be carted off the field after robbing Ryan Braun of extra-bases and crashing into the outfield wall, hitting his head on the way down. He was in considerable pain, but sitting upright as the cart took him for evaluation. Updates will be forthcoming as they're available. Reddick told McTaggart post-game that Springer was alert. He's scheduled to fly back to Houston with the team, in advance of the off-day on Wednesday. Reddick:
When me and Mike got there, (Springer) seemed to be very alert. He just kept saying he had a headache. That was a positive sign. He wasn't dizzy. He didn't have any memory loss out there. He made sure he answered all the questions right.
I don't want to talk about this game anymore.
*A.J. Hinch did some actual talking prior to the Brewers game, and tried to downplay whether or not Roberto Osuna was, actually, on fire:
I don't carry one game into the next. The last thing I'm going to do is show any sort of concern or any sort of panic when it comes to him. He's really good, he's got good stuff. He made a mistake to one of the best hitters in baseball, and [Yelich] tied the game. That's really the extent of his quote-unquote struggles yesterday.
Osuna, March 28-May 20: 21.1IP, 7H/1ER, 19K:2BB. 0.42 ERA / 0.42 WHIP. It is impossible to sustain that level of dominance over the course of a season.
Osuna, May 24-ASG: 15.2IP, 16H/7ER, 20K:4BB. 4.02 ERA / 1.28 WHIP. A little bit of a course correction? Osuna allowed an earned run in five of those 16 appearances.
Osuna, ASG-Sept 2: 17.2IP, 17H/11ER, 19K:4BB. 5.60 ERA / 1.19 WHIP, allowing an earned run in eight of 19 appearances.
Or taken as a Tale of Two Seasons:
Osuna through May 20: 21.1IP, 7H/1ER, 19K:2BB. 0.42 ERA / 0.42 WHIP.
Osuna, May 24-Sept 2: 33.1IP, 33H/19ER, 39K:8BB. 4.86 ERA / 1.23 WHIP.
There's not much else to say. I don't think that Osuna is a 4.00+ ERA pitcher. He's not a sub-1.00 ERA pitcher. He's giving up 1.3 HR/9, but doesn't get the number of innings a starting pitcher gets to even that out. Verlander is giving up 1.5 HR/9, but routinely pitches 6-7 innings. Osuna gets one inning, tops. It's so hard to statistically evaluate relievers, especially closers. They're brought in to face the best of the lineup in a close game, and sometimes things don't go their way. Or, if the OSUNA SUCKX narrative suits you better, no one is going to talk you out of it.
Osuna:
Right now, I've got to be honest - I got my mind thinking about October. Obviously, you think about winning games every day, but what I'm taking September to do, for me, is getting ready for the postseason. I gave up the home run yesterday, but, I mean, Maldonado and Chirinos and myself, we had a dinner [Monday] night and we were talking about, 'OK, we've got to learn from this and move on and make sure this will not happen in the playoffs.'
If you think of it in that regard - that it was just an interleague game on Labor Day - you can see how Osuna's mind might not be focused 100% on the task at hand. The playoffs start in a month, and that's what Osuna is looking forward to. It's not ideal, I guess, but you can't expect every player to play 162 games like it's Game 7. I'll withhold judgment on Osuna's pitching performance. Feel free to disagree.
Within that link, we find that Pressly is doing agility drills, Correa hit off a tee, and McHugh thinks his elbow is a similar issue to the one that caused him to miss 34 games earlier in the season...which would be right at ALDS time, if not ALCS time (should we be blessed with such a roster).
*Alex Bregman was named the August AL Player of the Month. He hit .404/.487/.747 in 26 games. Justin Verlander was obviously AL Pitcher of the Week, and Yordan Alvarez was the August AL Rookie of the Month, an award he has won in every month he has spent in Houston.
*Reymin Guduan was reinstated from the suspended list, the day after Round Rock's season ended, and subsequently DFA'd. About a week and a half ago I found out some things that led to Guduan getting suspended for a month. Since I wrote that, the story is maybe more complicated than that initial report, but no one is willing to talk even anonymously. Still, the story hasn't been refuted - or even addressed, really - by the Astros, Astros.com, or the Houston Chronicle.
*Jake Kaplan notes that every single domestic Astros affiliate (Round Rock, Corpus, Fayetteville, Quad Cities, and Tri-City) led the league in K/9. Related: home runs at Triple-A ballparks in 2019 - reminder that for the first time Triple-A used the same baseballs MLB uses - increased by 60% over their 2018 totals. Jayson Stark talked to a baseball exec who said, "from a development perspective, the PCL has now become essentially useless, and they are sending prospects to Double-A instead because the juiced ball is preventing clubs from accurately assessing players."
Yordan turned out okay so far.
*Not that these types of articles actually mean anything, but SI says the Astros' rotation gives them the edge over New York and Los Angeles in the postseason.
*Ken Rosenthal: The Yankees almost traded for Ken Giles at the deadline.
*Reuters: A climate-change frontier in the world's northernmost town.
*The Saturday Evening Post: America's first Opioid epidemic.
*SI: The Story of Tom Herman, Ed Orgeron, and LSU's Wild Coaching Search of 2016.
*NPR: Being optimistic might help you live longer.

NEVER-ENDING WAR
Syrian Activists Say Fighting Continues Despite Truce
Bassam Khabieh/Reuters
Syrian activists say fighting has continued in certain areas around Damascus despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect nearly two days ago. At least two civilians and five militants have been killed in the fighting over the Eastern Ghouta and Barada Valley regions, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Saturday in comments to the Associated Press. Another group has accused Russian and Syrian forces of carrying out air strikes in the Barada Valley despite the ceasefire, threatening the region's main source of water. Although the Syrian government denied the allegations on Friday, rebel forces have warned that they will not respect the truce if the violations continue. "Continued violations by the regime and bombardment and attempts to attack areas under the control of the revolutionary factions will make the agreement null and void," a letter signed by various rebel groups and published by Reuters said Saturday.

In July 2014, the USCIS published and released a Memorandum aimed at clarifying the USCIS' position on the approvability of H-1B Registered Nurses. The Memorandum updated the long-standing 2002 Johnny Williams USCIS Memorandum on the same subject. The July 2014 Memorandum did not provide any substantive guidance beyond than the 2002 Williams Memorandum. It paid lip service to the idea that USCIS officers should remember that, "there are some situations, however, where the petitioner may be able to show that a nursing position qualifies as a specialty occupation".
Oddly, the July 2014 Memorandum disappeared from the USCIS' website shortly after publication. Some practitioners hoped that that USCIS had reconsidered the Memorandum and would issue a Memorandum that provided concrete instruction and examples.
Unfortunately, the USCIS has finally republished the Memorandum. It is identical to the July 2014 Memorandum, except the date of the Memorandum is now February 18, 2015.
An article that MU Law posted in July 2014 includes a link to the July 2014 Memorandum and an analysis of the missed opportunity. Rather than restate the arguments that we made in that article, we will just point you there.

Michael Jantzen's Sustainable, Prefab M-house is a Home for the Future
Home isn't a place, it's a feeling, and the feeling has been smartly carved into a texture that is beyond human imagination. Michael Jantzen, renowned for his marvelous architectures, designed M-House embedded with a portable modular system that helps revamp and transform the house as per your liking.
The M-house is made from M-vironment system and can be assembled and disassembled as per one's wish with the help of a series of rectangular panels attached with hinges to an open space frame grid of seven interlocking cubes. These panels are connected with the cubes in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.
M in the M-house basically stands for modularity and it pretty evident through its futuristic design. The house features a glass-enclosed main chamber that serves the purpose of living area. The house also has a bathroom, kitchen, washroom and a bedroom to avail. Primarily made from painted steel and concrete composite panels it is perfect la-la-land for the future generations who dreams of living in prefab houses.
The house is completely fire resistant and is powered by alternative energy resources to accommodate variety of functions. Adding to its list of features, the house also collects and store rainwater to make it an eco–friendly structure in nature. The house also stands the test of time as its insulated panels can eventually fold in and out on open platforms to deflect the rain, block the wind and prevent one from scorching heat.

The entire structure of the house sits on a bolted steel frame supported by adjustable legs which are attached to load bearing foot pads. Due to its flexibility to mutate into any shape and size that house could turn into an office, a playschool and can be used for rental purposes too. M-house is available on request and one can visit Michael Jantzen official website to get one made.

One of our better New Year Resolutions has been to have a box of vegetables delivered to us each week. I decided we needed to eat more veg and this was a way of encouraging us to do so - and it's worked really well. Our box arrives on a Tuesday morning and it's lovely to see what we have to work with over the coming week. Some things end up with us grabbing our trusty A to Z of AWT - always a good source of information for more unusual stuff (i.e. anything other than potatoes, peas, broccoli or carrots) and finding new recipes to try. Last week we used Turmeric Root for the first time, creating the most fabulous pork dish, and Salmon with Lemongrass Spinach is now a regular feature on the menu. I did worry that we'd end up throwing lots away but in truth we have found that by the end of the week we are quite happy to chuck whatever is left into a sausage casserole for Monday night tea!
There's something so very delicious about Hot Cross Buns, toasted and dripping in butter - but somehow the fact that they are in the shops as soon as we take our Christmas decorations down loses the message that they are an Easter treat, something to help us remember the very poignant message of the crucifixion and resurrection, and the hope that this gives the Christian faith for life ever after. Take time to reflect whilst you enjoy those spicy buttery treats!

Additional charges for Identity thief Bridget Chaplin
The case against accused identify thief Bridget Chaplin has just gotten much stronger with nearly 20 more charges added to their original indictment.
Chaplin, 32, was arrested after an investigation conducted in June and July of this year connected her to a major identity theft operation.
Her home and a room at Budget Suites, which served as forgery "labs", were raided with massive amounts of information confiscated including:
W2 forms
forged checked
drivers licenses
at least one passport
massive amounts of personal information on others
At the time, authorities were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information collected after she was initially charged with 43 counts related to forgery after her arrest in September, 2013.
Authorities have made attempts to contact the individuals whose information, however, some of the people are deceased and some, at this point, have not been able to be tracked.
Certain individuals that have been contacted have said that their personal information was stolen either from their home or from their automobile.
According to News 3, Chaplin had been arrested for forgery in the past and had a 2007 conviction for stolen mail.
She's been described by as Deputy District Attorney as one of the state's most "prolific identity thieves".
At the time of her arrest, she said that the forged checks found were "novelties' and that she could not prosecuted for having them.
In a jailhouse interview she has denied all charges and is representing herself.
She has also asked for a speedy trial.
Could one person be responsible for orchestrating such a large-scale identity theft ring, or will there be other arrests?
Chaplin now faces 62 counts relating to forgery with bail set at $624,000. Shed is scheduled for an arraignment on the new charges in early November.

The 2014 tango from the Tállya winery SZÓLÓ is a unique and honest wine. Keeping with the winery's philosophy an exciting and modern wine was born by relying on the venerable traditional technology of extended ageing under flor yeast film.
From the very beginning the winery has been using modern and traditional techniques side by side and tango spent three years in a quiet corner of the cellar resting in a sealed barrel filled to the top with wine made from hárslevelű harvested in the Tökösmály vineyard. The inspiration came from vin jaune a wine traditionally aged under flor yeast film in the Jura region of France, at the same time it was also important to preserve the traditions of the Tokaj wine region and being true to their own clean winemaking ethos.
There are three places in the world where wines under flor are produced: in France it's the so-called yellow wine (vin jaune), in Spain it's the different versions of sherry and in Hungary it's dry szamorodni.
The film developing on the surface of wine (flor) is the product of yeasts responsible for fermentation. Sometimes extra assistance is needed for the successful completion of the process but in the case of tango there was no need for any intervention. The flor film is conducive to the development of a reductive environment in the wine as the yeasts also consume the oxygen solved in the liquid and the flor film prevents the access of external oxygen.
"Flor is the name of a winemaking technology referring to the yeast film of various thickness forming on the surface of a wine and then remaining in continuous interaction with the wine changing its chemical composition and thus effecting its final aromas and flavours. During the last decade winemakers all over the world have started experimenting with similar technologies not just in the classical regions", explains András Kató, the Manager of Terroir Club.
2014 was not an easy vintage in the Tokaj wine region, healthy and aszú berries had to be sorted manually which then were left in contact with the skins for 12 hours like in the case of szamorodnis.
The wine was fermented and aged in a new barrel until the summer of 2015 then it was racked over to a used aszú barrel. At this point a decision was made to subject the wine to extended ageing without any further intervention. It was first sampled on Christmas Day in 2016 with special care so that the film sealing on top remained intact. The sample showed that the evolution of the wine was slower and more delicate than expected therefore the ageing should be continued. After another year of ageing the wine was finally bottled in March 2018 without finig, filtering or the addition of sulphites.
It was Tímea's husband who came up with a name for the wine.
"It's called tango because the first time we tasted it as a completed wine it reminded me of Buenos Aires. It conjured up the milieu of a downtown joint with its tango dancers, wooden floor, smoke and the intense emotions and tempers. That's what this wine represents to us", explains Tamás Éless.
The next vintage of tango, the 2016, is still ageing in a barrel in the Tállya cellar and the Éless couple can hardly wait to find out what route it takes.

Loanword
Updated on Aug 12, 2022
A loanword (also loan word or loan-word) is a word adopted from one language (the donor language) and incorporated into another language without translation.
Examples and related terms
From the arts
Linguistic classification
Transmission in the Ottoman Empire
Dutch words in Indonesian
Changes in meaning and pronunciation
A loanword is distinguished from a calque (loan translation), which is a word or phrase whose meaning or idiom is adopted from another language by translation into existing words or word-forming roots of the recipient language.
Examples of loanwords in the English language include café (from French café, which literally means "coffee"), bazaar (from Persian bāzār, which means "market"), and kindergarten (from German Kindergarten, which literally means "children's garden").
In a bit of heterological irony, the word calque is a loanword from the French noun, derived from the verb calquer (to trace, to copy); the word loanword is a calque of the German word Lehnwort; and the phrase "loan translation" is a calque of the German Lehnübersetzung.
Loans of multi-word phrases, such as the English use of the French term déjà vu, are known as adoptions, adaptations, or lexical borrowings.
Strictly speaking, the term loanword conflicts with the ordinary meaning of loan in that something is taken from the donor language without it being something that is possible to return.
Most of the technical vocabulary of classical music (such as concerto, allegro, tempo, aria, opera, and soprano) is borrowed from Italian, and that of ballet from French.
The studies by Werner Betz (1949, 1939), Einar Haugen (1950, also 1956), and Uriel Weinreich (1953) are regarded as the classical theoretical works on loan influence. The basic theoretical statements all take Betz's nomenclature as their starting point. Duckworth (1977) enlarges Betz's scheme by the type "partial substitution" and supplements the system with English terms. A schematic illustration of these classifications is given below.
The expression "foreign word" used in the illustration below is, however, an incorrect translation of the German term Fremdwort, which refers to loanwords whose pronunciation, spelling, and possible inflection or gender have not yet been so much adapted to the new language that they cease to feel foreign. Such a separation of loanwords into two distinct categories is not used by linguists in English in talking about any language. In addition, basing such a separation mainly on spelling as described in the illustration is (or, in fact, was) not usually done except by German linguists and only when talking about German and sometimes other languages that tend to adapt foreign spellings, which is rare in English unless the word has been in wide use for a very long time.
According to the linguist Suzanne Kemmer, the expression "foreign word" can be defined as follows in English: "[W]hen most speakers do not know the word and if they hear it think it is from another language, the word can be called a foreign word. There are many foreign words and phrases used in English such as bon vivant (French), mutatis mutandis (Latin), and Schadenfreude (German)." This is however not how the term is (incorrectly) used in this illustration:
On the basis of an importation-substitution distinction, Haugen (1950: 214f.) distinguishes three basic groups of borrowings: "(1) Loanwords show morphemic importation without substitution.... (2) Loanblends show morphemic substitution as well as importation.... (3) Loanshifts show morphemic substitution without importation". Haugen later refined (1956) his model in a review of Gneuss's (1955) book on Old English loan coinages, whose classification, in turn, is the one by Betz (1949) again.
Weinreich (1953: 47ff.) differentiates between two mechanisms of lexical interference, namely those initiated by simple words and those initiated by compound words and phrases. Weinreich (1953: 47) defines simple words "from the point of view of the bilinguals who perform the transfer, rather than that of the descriptive linguist. Accordingly, the category 'simple' words also includes compounds that are transferred in unanalysed form". After this general classification, Weinreich then resorts to Betz's (1949) terminology.
The English language has often borrowed words from other cultures or languages:
Some English loanwords remain relatively faithful to the donor language's phonology even though a particular phoneme might not exist or have contrastive status in English. For example, the Hawaiian word ʻaʻā is used by geologists to specify lava that is relatively thick, chunky, and rough. The Hawaiian spelling indicates the two glottal stops in the word, but the English pronunciation, /ˈɑː.ɑː/ or /ˈɑːʔɑː/, contains at most one. In addition, the English spelling usually removes the ʻokina and macron diacritics.
The majority of English affixes, such as un-, -ing, and -ly, were present in older forms in Old English. However, a few English affixes are borrowed. For example, the English verbal suffix -ize (American English) or ise (British English) comes from Greek -ιζειν (-izein) via Latin -izare.
During more than 600 years of the Ottoman Empire, the literary and administrative language of the empire was Turkish, with many Persian, and Arabic loanwords, called Ottoman Turkish, considerably differing from the everyday spoken Turkish of the time. Many such words were exported to other languages of the empire, such as Albanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Greek, Hungarian and Ladino. After the empire fell after World War I and the Republic of Turkey was founded, the Turkish language underwent an extensive language reform led by the newly founded Turkish Language Association, during which many adopted words were replaced with new formations derived from Turkic roots. That was part of the ongoing cultural reform of the time, in turn a part in the broader framework of Atatürk's Reforms, which also included the introduction of the new Turkish alphabet.
Turkish also has taken many words from French, such as pantolon for trousers (from French pantalon) and komik for funny (from French comique), most of them pronounced very similarly. Word usage in modern Turkey has acquired a political tinge: right-wing publications tend to use more Arabic or Persian originated words, left-wing ones use more adopted from European languages, while centrist ones use more native Turkish root words.
Almost 350 years of Dutch presence in what is now Indonesia have left significant linguistic traces. Though very few Indonesians have a fluent knowledge of Dutch, the Indonesian language inherited many words from Dutch, both in words for everyday life and as well in scientific or technological terminology. One scholar argues that 20% of Indonesian words can be traced back to Dutch words.
According to Hans Henrich Hock and Brian Joseph, "languages and dialects ... do not exist in a vacuum": there is always linguistic contact between groups. The contact influences what loanwords are integrated into the lexicon and which certain words are chosen over others.
In some cases, the original meaning shifts considerably through unexpected logical leaps. The English word Viking became Japanese バイキング baikingu meaning 'buffet', because Imperial Viking was the first restaurant in Japan to offer buffet-style meals.

As head of protective services at St. John's Home, Nelson Colon has a clear and defined mission: to serve and protect the people who live and work here. From the time he comes in at 5:30 a.m. to when he leaves for the day around 4 p.m., he does just that in a variety of ways together with his fellow security officers.
At age 54, Nelson celebrated 26 years on the job in February 2015, and two years as head of security in March. It is clear he could not be more dedicated to and proud of the work he does at St. John's Home.
As a devout Christian who has overcome challenges in his own life, Nelson said he is sensitive to what many residents and family members go through and wishes he could fix everything. However, he says it is an honor and a blessing for him just to be in the presence of the people he is tasked with protecting and to hear some of their stories.
