HRW: Bahrain: Abuse of Migrant Workers Despite Reforms
Urgent Need to Enforce Labor Laws, Provide Redress
(Beirut) – Hundreds of thousands of mostly South Asian migrant workers in Bahrain face exploitation and abuse despite government reforms intended to protect them, Human Rights Watch said in a report issued today.
The 123-page report, "For A Better Life: Migrant Worker Abuse in Bahrain and the Government Reform Agenda," documents the many forms of abuse and exploitation suffered by migrant workers in Bahrain and details the government's efforts to provide redress and strengthen worker protections. Bahraini authorities need to implement labor safeguards and redress mechanisms already in place and prosecute abusive employers, Human Rights Watch said. The government should extend the 2012 private sector labor law to domestic workers, who are excluded from key protections.
"Bahraini authorities understand that migrant workers have helped build the country and have instituted some important reforms," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "But without more vigorous enforcement, these reforms do little to address the most widespread rights violations such as failure to pay wages and withholding workers' passports."
Bahrain has just over 458,000 migrant workers, about 77 percent of the total work force, public and private. Most are employed in low-skill, low-wage jobs in construction, trade, manufacturing, and domestic work.
Human Rights Watch interviewed 62 migrant workers and met with government officials, recruitment agents, diplomats from labor-sending countries, labor attorneys, and worker advocates.
Recent government reforms include safety regulations, measures to combat human trafficking, workers' rights education campaigns, and rules giving migrants greater ability to leave their employers. Human Rights Watch found that authorities enforce some safeguards, such as a ban on midday construction work during dangerously hot summer months. But authorities have not adequately carried out several other worker protections, such as those against withholding wages, charging recruitment fees, and confiscating passports. All of these practices make it harder for workers to leave abusive work situations.
Migrant workers in Bahrain also face discrimination and abuses from Bahraini society in general. Human Rights Watch documented several violent attacks against South Asian migrant workers in March 2011, during a period of heightened political unrest. Migrants in some cases said their attackers were anti-government protesters. Pakistani workers provided evidence to Human Rights Watch about attacks that led to the death of a fellow worker and seriously injured others.
Human Rights Watch found that employers who violate migrant worker rights typically do not face the penalties provided in Bahraini law and rarely, if ever, face criminal consequences outlined in the penal code and laws against human trafficking. Human Rights Watch found no evidence that Bahraini authorities have utilized anti-trafficking legislation, introduced in 2008, to prosecute labor related violations.
The plight of many migrant workers begins in their home countries, where many pay local recruitment agencies fees equivalent to 10 to 20 months of wages in Bahrain, incurring substantial debts, often using family home and valuables as collateral. This debt, sometimes exacerbated when employers withhold wages, effectively forces many migrants to accept abusive work conditions.Employers in Bahrain routinely confiscate workers' passports. Coupled with the prevailing sponsorship system (kefala), these practices greatly limit the ability of workers to leave employers and freely return home.
Workers consistently told Human Rights Watch that unpaid wages topped their list of grievances. Half of the workers Human Rights Watch interviewed said that their employers withheld their wages for between three to ten months. One domestic worker did not receive wages from her employer for five years.
Raja H. worked in construction along with 19 other men who said they had not been paid for four months. "My father died, and I'm the oldest brother," he said. "I have younger brothers and sisters and one brother who's working as a laborer in Pakistan. I call my family and they tell me to send them money. If I don't get money, what am I supposed to say? I've got a wife and my kids are at school and it's a big problem."
Workers also described low wages, excessive working hours, and physical and psychological abuse – and in the case of domestic workers, sexual abuse. Construction workers raised the persistent problem of crowded and unsafe labor camps. The suicide rate for migrant workers is alarmingly high, Human Rights Watch found. In a few cases, labor conditions amounted to forced labor.
Domestic workers, almost all of them women, described working up to 19-hour days, with minimal breaks and no days off. Many said they are prevented from leaving their employer's homes, and some said that they aren't provided with adequate food.
"We worked from 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.," said Ayesha K. "No break time. No rest. No time to eat even." The Gulf Daily News reported on September 18, 2012, the case of 63-year-old Aakana Satyawati, whose employer allegedly had not paid her for the past two years and had refused to allow her to leave to visit her family in India for nearly 21 years, "Isolated in private homes, domestic workers are often victim to appalling work hours for little pay, and sometimes physical and sexual abuse," Stork said. "These workers face the greatest risk of abuse yet have the fewest legal protections."
A new labor law that went into effect in July expands a few protections to domestic workers, including annual vacations, and codifies others, including access to labor dispute mediations. The law fails, however, to mandate needed reforms such as establishing maximum daily and weekly work hours and weekly days off.
In some areas, Bahrain has made noteworthy improvements, Human Rights Watch found. The Labor Market Regulatory Authority, an agency created in 2006, streamlines work visa applications and administers worker education campaigns, some of which provide information on worker rights and redress. A law passed in 2009 sharply reduced the transport of workers in "open air" trucks, which had led to many injuries and deaths. A government-run shelter has taken in female migrant workers fleeing abusive employers since 2006.
In many critical areas, reforms have not gone far enough, nor has implementation been adequate, Human Rights Watch found. Workers in two labor camps that Human Rights Watch visited said that Labor Ministry inspectors had cited their employers years ago for serious and hazardous housing code violations but that the employers never took the required actions and the camps remained open.
The Labor Ministry allows workers to file grievances, most of them wage related, and mediates labor disputes. Yet abusive employers often refuse to settle and often ignore the ministry's requests for meetings. According to data provided by the ministry, in 2009, 2010, and 2011, mediators resolved only 30 percent of complaints filed by migrant workers, compared with 56 percent of complaints filed by Bahraini workers.
When migrant workers file grievances, employers often retaliate by alleging that the worker committed theft or a similar crime, or "absconded" without permission, subjecting workers to potential detention, deportation, and bans on re-entry.
"If you go talk to the ministers and look at the law everything is perfect and nothing can't be handled," said Marietta Dias, from the Migrant Workers Protection Society, a local civil society group. "But when you go to the little guys [in the ministries], the guys that process everything, they either don't have the authority to do anything or they haven't been told the law."
Lawyers told Human Rights Watch that courts often issue worker-friendly judgments, but that cases take between six months and a year to resolve and are subject to appeals. Migrant workers are legally unable to work and have no income during this time, and say they typically feel they have little choice but to accept an unfavorable out-of-court settlement.
Many migrants settle for plane tickets home and return of their passports, forgoing a sizable portion, sometimes all, of their back wages. Some workers said they had even paid former employers to return their passports and cancel their visas, allowing them to leave the country.
The case management system introduced in the new labor law is potentially helpful, Human Rights Watch said. It should streamline labor litigation and has the potential to strengthen the ability of migrant workers to seek redress in civil courts.
"Bahrain clearly seeks a reputation as a country with forward-looking migrant labor practices," Stork said. "Authorities should start by addressing the culture of impunity for abuses against migrant workers that is the direct result of the lackof prosecution and enforcement of penalties under its laws."

A Bury St Edmunds woman has completed her 17th marathon in just 12 months, raising money for the Diabetes UK charity.
Crossing the line at Sunday's London Marathon, Karen Williamson marked the end an incredible fundraising journey.
Mrs Williamson has so far collected £2,167 for Diabetes UK but hopes further donations might help her raise more.
She was inspired to take on the mammoth challenge by her husband, who suffers from Type One Diabetes.

"It was a pleasure to be part of the Diabetes UK team and I'd just like to say a big thank you to my family and friends who have supported me throughout my training.

A new report that documents 15 years of violence near Canadian mines in Latin America says the federal government is not doing enough to address the problem.
The study, published Monday, charts 44 deaths, 403 injuries and 709 arrests, detentions and charges from 2000-2015 that the authors link to 28 Canadian companies' mining projects in 13 countries in the region.
"The world is taking notice of Canadian companies for all the wrong reasons," said Shin Imai, a law professor at York University's Osgoode Hall Law School and principal author of the report, titled The Canada Brand: Violence and Canadian Mining Companies in Latin America.
"We need a more robust way to hold companies accountable," he said.
Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada, which represents several of Canada's largest resource companies, said his members are committed to human rights and do disclose workplace injuries and fatalities in annual sustainability reporting.
Ottawa requires that Canadian mining companies follow voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) codes in their overseas activity. The office of the federal CSR counsellor also works to "reduce and constructively resolve" conflicts between local communities and Canadian companies. That office does not conduct investigations nor have the power to sanction companies.
Most companies subscribe to what is known as "voluntary principles on security and human rights," Gratton said, a framework that requires companies to respect human rights, including in its dealings with police and security personnel.
The report was written by the Justice and Corporate Accountability Project, a legal aid group at Osgoode Hall.
These cases cannot be independently verified by the Toronto Star.
Canadian securities regulations oblige publicly listed companies to disclose events that may affect the market value of their shares. Incidents of violence may not necessarily meet that standard and no law requires companies to disclose all incidents that happen near their overseas projects.
In the documented cases, the companies disclosed just a quarter of deaths, and 12 per cent of injuries, the report says.
There is evidence that conflicts between mining projects and local comminutes can affect company stock price, according to a 2014 Harvard study.
Globally, Canada has been criticized for failing to develop better mechanisms to hold mining companies accountable for their overseas projects.
In April 2016, more than 180 organizations from Latin America sent an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking him to take action on problems at Canadian mines. Forty-one per cent of large mining companies operating in Latin America are Canadian.
Gratton said he supports strengthening Canada's existing oversight system, but extending Canadian law to foreign jurisdictions is not workable. "Security, law and order and upholding respect for human rights remain the responsibility of government authorities," he said.
Some of the violence recorded by researchers happened at anti-mining protests or appeared to target activists. Other cases affected community members, police, journalists or children. At least two security guards and six mine workers were among those killed, the report says.
Several Canadian mines are located in regions where drug cartels and organized crime are active. Mexico and Guatemala were among the countries with the highest levels of violence, with eight and 12 deaths respectively, the report found.

"Glossary of Jazz Slang" — from Mezz Mezzrow's 1946 biography, Really the Blues
Really the Blues, the little-known but highly influential autobiographical work by jazz musician Mezz Mezzrow (co-written by Bernard Wolfe), is one man's account of decades of jazz and American cultural history. The clarinetist's colorful life – which he described in the 1946 counter-culture classic as having strayed "off the music" which led to his doing "my share of evil" – was adventurous, earthy, and jubilant, and was told not so much as a biography but as a novel that made "the Mezz" a hero with the era's key counter-culture figures, including Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
Much has been made of Mezzrow's relationship with Louis Armstrong — he managed Armstrong for a time and dealt much of the "gauge" he craved, and Mezzrow's reputation for dealing pot was so well known that "Mezz" became slang for marijuana. He is also remembered for his

Starting from graphic concepts and detailed ideas, they get lost in the development and find themselves again at the resolution. They usually make use of the power of scripting and the seduction of music and sound design. They are interested in learning in each project, that's why they invest many hours researching. They like collaborations.
Music is a source of inspiration for them, and it is often the starting point of their work. VR (virtual reality) experiences, projection mapping, stage design, and music videos are some of the formats through which we relate to music.
To celebrate the bicentenary of the Prado Museum, on November 24th, 2018, Onionlab projected a video mapping organized by the events agency Ciudadano Kien on the facade of the building. The video mapping transformed the inert facade of the building into something organic thus creating an immersive visual journey of lights, shadows, and optical illusions.

Mowgli has been passionate about all things creative since a very young age. He's always painted and made things and he had the fortune of having DJ as his first ever job after finishing school. Mowgli graduated in Scientific and Natural History Illustration in 1996, a field in which he worked on a freelance basis for a short time.
Since then he had worked using a vast range of media. He completed an apprenticeship in the ancient crafts of Cordoban and Guadameci in 1997 after which he worked for Arte 2 on interior design projects incorporating the craft while also co-founding MIX, a Madrid based workshop and shop specialized in the upcycling of furniture and decorative objects, an endeavor that was way ahead of its time as the term "upcycling" wasn't even in use then.
Mowgli started Vjing in 2004 alongside the band Detwiije, this led to more VJ gigs and visual creation for world-class artists and festivals including Above & Beyond, Astrix, Roisin Murphy, Infected Mushroom and Greg Wilson. He was classed amongst the top 8 European VJs in 2008 at the London International Music Show.
Soon after and as a natural progression from Vjing, Mowgli developed an interest in audiovisual performance which he's been developing since 2010 when the show MAYA was created with producer Silverio Funk. It was premiered at the BFI Southbank as part of Dark Fibre and has since been performed at several venues in London and Rome. During this time he also developed a piece for the Musion holographic projection system which was screened at Kinetika Art Fair in London.
Throughout his career, he's been involved in organizing and promoting various music and arts events including Stylistik, Sound on Vision, The Nozzle and AV Depot while also being a director of VJ London, a community-focused monthly event dedicated to the diffusion of audiovisual and technology based art forms.

L'Aubaine
L'Aubaine (Laurie Bender) VJ, a visual artist from Geneva-based in London.
L'Aubaine started performing live visuals in 2005 while studying a master in Digital Arts in Barcelona. From her study, she got interested in real-time performances and exploring different forms of narrative.
All elements she uses in her work are self-produced, mixing different techniques, analog and digital, as hand-drawn animations, 2D and 3D animations, graphical elements, photography, and videos. Her creations have that handmade feel, imperfect, bold and very colorful. Laurie crafted her unique style over the years by superimposing layers, interlinking shapes, and colors, mixing elements from different techniques in an unusual and elegant way.
Her VJ sets are evolving compositions, audio-reactive, created live and flowing with the crowd and the music. Each set never look the same, she shares emotions, playfulness and she feels like a painter and his canvas. She is since 2015, part of VJ London, organizing monthly meet-up & showcase and bigger events with interactive installations and AV performances with artists based in the London area and international.

AV Link Jam / BYOB Event in London
AV Link Jam / BYOB was organized by Crux, the hub for learning, experimenting, collaborating and entertaining, on Thursday, November 15th, 2018. It was their second edition and free for everyone who wanted to join.
When you entered the space, it all seemed very open and chill. People were drinking beer, talking to each other, walking around and admiring the people's work. Almost every wall had a beamer projection on it. It was very diverse which made it refreshing. You weren't looking at the same thing at every wall. Every minute it'd change so even if you'd be watching the same projection, you wouldn't look at a video that was on a loop.
Because it was a free event, the genuinely passionate artists show up. It looked like a community, people know each other and talk about the same topic. When you would talk to the artists about their projection, you could see the fierce enthusiasm they had for it.
The soundtrack worked really well with the atmosphere. Many different things were going on at the same time but the music helped to keep you focused.
All and all, it was quite mesmerizing and hypnotic. It kept your eyes stuck on the all the projects you were seeing. It all moved fast, had bright colors, and had recurring movements. It's a very fun night where you can chat and check out new and different artists. A good concept!

Audiovisual City interviews Post Bellum
Audiovisual City interviews: Post Bellum, one of the artists at SIGNAL festival.
What is your artistic background and main inspirations in the new media art field?
I studied art and architecture at The Technical University in Liberec. Students of my generation were influenced by conceptual artist Stanislav Zippe. Maybe for this reason, I try to combine architecture and multimedia in my work. Therefore, we have established two platforms that work in synergy Kolmo.eu and Loom on the Moon.com
What is Audiovisual to you and how do you position yourself in that culture?
We have recently worked on an audiovisual representation of historical topics for various museums and installations. We find challenging to use contemporary visual language to speak about events and moments in our distant and recent history. It is not our only focus, yet it is a territory we have been exploring for a couple years now. We do not look in the past scenes as into the hermetic events which do not have any correlation with lives we have today. We rather pick out those which do have relevance to today in our view.
We were very impressed with the immersive use of video-mapping as a documentary tool. Can you tell us about the creative process behind Memory of the Nations?
Memory of the Nations is the organization focused on collecting of testimonies. It is a wide archive (7000 people recorded up to date) of subjective views on past events. The phenomenon of subjectivity was very attractive to us as it's in contradiction with mainstream explanation of history. We, in collaboration with Pink productions (coauthors of the exhibition), have tried to avoid black and white viewpoint, therefore, we have focused on situations in which the human rights or human dignity were most violated. In those darkest places we could find bravery, humanity, and characters with strong moral principles.
We feel that everyone is tired by straightforward information oriented rhetoric, for that reason we have split the installation into two main parts. Almost like the two halves of the brain, one-half emotional and subconscious and the other narrative and rational.
It was challenging to cover such a long historical period of 100 years so we highlighted two totalitarian periods our nation underwent during this time. It is important for us to keep these past atrophies on the display so the public could be on guard when politics start to go wrong. Somehow the recent rise of populists and post fact demagogues in the world makes us believe that such an ambition is more relevant than ever.
Audiovisual culture is progressively becoming more prominent and known in the Czech Republic and Prague. What's your opinion about the Czech AV scene nowadays also regarding public and private support to artists and events?
When I returned back to the Czech Republic from Netherlands where I had lived for 5 years, I noticed that Prague scene around film, animation, and multimedia is full of skilled people who were great to work with. For that reason, I have been trying to promote this field abroad. It is fun to work with these people on some projects in Singapore or Hong Kong or elsewhere and bring our sensitivity, skills, and improvisation to the table.

SIGNAL 2018 reportage
SIGNAL festival invited us to come to the festival in Prague which was on the 11th until the 14th of October, 2018. We are very grateful to have been invited and that they have taken such good care of us.
SIGNAL is a relatively young festival but made a huge impact on the audiovisual culture since the very beginning. It has a great offer of video mapping, interactive installations, and generative art. The last edition attracted around 600.000 people.
Every year, SIGNAL puts together an audiovisual journey across the beautiful backdrop that is the city of Prague. It gives the chance to locals and international visitors to really discover the city under a new light.
This is what we saw during our visit.
Event feature here.
Guillaume Marmin
Rococo is a totem made of 124 projectors shooting light beams. As soon as viewers step in, they are bombarded by powerful audiovisual inputs transforming the beautiful 'Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace' in an ever-changing space. The surrounding soundtrack makes you progressively forget where you are, bringing you in a captivating trance as you stare at the beams.
Post Bellum
An impressive use of video mapping projection to document amongst the darkest moments in the last one hundred years of European history. Avoiding the spectacularization, 'Memory of the Nation' enthralled the viewers, thanks to clever use of real video and audio footage
3dsense
3dsense offered an impressive projection with two synchronized screens. It showed a creatively put and well-thought-out black hole's gravitational field in the universe. That mixed with an intense soundtrack displayed a complex unity that immerses you into the piece.
Chevalvert
A wonderful piece of interaction design, where the users had the chance to create their own lighting performance by the simple motion of their hands. Highly involving and easy to approach. It created an instant connection with the audience and the art.
_STROY
_STROY is a multi-creative studio based in the Czech Republic. In their pioneering project, they combine graffiti with video mapping and sound art. Aesthetically astounding and captivating, they're taking video mapping to a whole new level.
Hotaru Visual Guerrilla
Quite new to the scene, the AV collective Hotaru Visual Guerrilla managed to capture the viewers' senses from the first instant. An amazing 3D video mapping, dragging us in a future world where microorganism, bioforms, breathes and expands from the façade of the surrounding space. A must-see in the audiovisual culture.
Hyperbinary
Hyperbinary proposed a very mature and cutting-edge video mapping made of pure lights. The building Kooperative has been animated from the inside instead of being projected on it using LED strips. A thoughtful investigation about how particles are set in motion and spread across the space creating energy. The result is a calm and monumental wave.
Ruestungsschmie.de
On the Church of St. Ludmila Ruestungsschmie.de delivered a video mapping masterpiece, empowered by a stunning sound design. Every single element of the façade comes alive under the audiovisual thunderstorm. Our senses are constantly tickled and moved restlessly following the projective narrative across the service.
'Watch 2,1/18' is an ambitious and innovative art piece picturing a dystopian future under constant surveillance. The immersive installation used moving lights across the Vinohrady square to track the viewers. Microphones recorded their sounds to eventually combine them with an eerie soundtrack. No matter where you moved, you were always watched.
Simona Chládková & Matyáš Skalický
Simona and Matyáš are two students of 'the Czech Technical University'. They created an LED interactive gateway connecting the train station to their university. Enjoyable and effective. We hope to see more from these young and upcoming artists.
Struny Signalu
Organik triggers an intense dialogue between new media, art, music, and architecture, in the beautiful Salvator church. The gothic constructive elements are gradually revealed and enhanced by the moving lights, while the compelling music from the organ surrounds the viewers. Our senses are fully absorbed in this powerful audiovisual symphony.
Romain Tardy
Future Ruins, a beautifully crafted video mapping dialoguing with the LED installations which decomposes the architectural elements of the Neo-Romanesque church of St. Cyril and Methodius.
Ruins of a dystopian future lie upon us and come back to life through the use of lights and video mapping.
SOFTlab
An interactive installation with mirrors following the viewers, bouncing their reflection across the space together with the beautiful decorations of the 'Mirror Chapel'.
Tomáš Dymeš
A buoyant interactive piece immediately connects with the audience of all ages and backgrounds.
Marpi Studio
An interactive simulation that shows the sea life under a microscope. It's a never-ending generative art project.
Richard Loskot and UAII studio
An interesting representation of the natural elements using new media. A piece with stormy clouds made of foam, lights, and sounds.
An overall high quality and several innovative art pieces, setting new trends and standards in audiovisual culture. Congratulations to the organizers and see you next year!

Liquid Architecture: Why listen to plants?
MELBOURNE, 22 November – 08 December 2018
Liquid Architecture is an Australian organization for artists working with sound. LA investigates the sounds themselves, but also the ideas communicated about, and the meaning of, sound and listening.
For this program, they are collaborating with artists who work at the intersection of theory and live performance. These artists use various strategies to extend vegetal thinking into sound and listening, from guided walks, talks, readings and lecture performances to experimental music, installation, herbalist pedagogy, and folk songs.
This program, Why Listen, proceeds from these questions as it attempts to open up the act of listening in social, scientific and political space. It is an inquiry into both the consensus constructing communication—and, indeed, creating communicators—and an attentiveness to the vitality of voices beyond the conceptual.

The Search for (New Media Art) Pleasure at Mira Festival
Par Hayley Cantor
We look forward to visual treats at Barcelona's ever-growing digital arts festival, Mira. Hosted at the old fabric factory in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona, Fabra i Coats is the venue of dreams for many festival goers and organisers. Each year, we've seen the gradual addition of a full dome experience, more and more live visual performances and installations, with this year including an impressive new media art exhibition to get the old brain cogs turning. Let's leave the work to speak for itself. We present you with our summary of our Mira experience of the Friday night at the festival in form of a photographic journey through new media art time and space…

Transmediale
BERLIN, 31 January – 03 February 2019
Transmediale is a Berlin-based festival and year-round project that draws out new connections between art, culture, and technology. It considers technology as being more than the digital world and the cultural as being more than what emerges from within institutionalized fields of production.
The formats of the festival change from year to year as Transmediale tries to foreground the intrinsic link between transdisciplinary thinking and cultural practice.
The 31st edition of the festival, directed by Kristoffer Gansing for the seventh time, aims to take stock of current affairs in order to understand if and how things could be different. Its participants will seek possible new ways of resisting and deconstructing the alarming development of digital populism, the radicalization of net culture, and the new culture wars.
(Post)digital culture today seems to support hate-mongering, racist and neo-colonial powers rather than provide an emancipatory alternative. Transmediale is therefore actively seeking out self-critical discussions of topics otherwise rarely addressed at digital culture events—such as contemporary imbalances of class, gender, and race—within a variety of curatorial formats and modes of knowledge exchange.

Three Justseeds members have a exhibit opening this week in Philadelphia, if your in town join us! The exhibit features 50 posters and prints that document the world as we see it through our eyes.
Favianna and Jesus will give an artist talk on Saturday March 27, 2010 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Leeway office (1315 Walnut Street, Suite 832). An opening reception will follow their talk from 7:30pm to 8:30pm.
The Leeway Foundation presents "Shouts from the Wall," an exhibition of approximately fifty limited-edition prints, posters, and apparel, covering issues of current national and global interest created by members of Taller Tupac Amaru, an Oakland-based artist collective dedicated to the production and public distribution of political posters; members of the Philadelphia-based collective, RECLAIM: Silk Screen Production and Community Workshop; and individual local artists.
"Shouts from the Wall" draws a diverse selection of political, social, and community-based works from Favianna Rodriguez, Jesus Barraza, and Melanie Cervantes, members of Taller Tupac Amaru; Beth Pulcinella (LTA '09, ACG '08) co-founder of RECLAIM; and multi-disciplinary artist bex* (LTA '09).
The artists featured in "Shouts" work to foster a resurgence in printmaking mediums by producing original posters, prints, and apparel for community-based grassroots organizations throughout the country. The bold graphics and direct messages in the works build upon a rich tradition of social activism, and the issues they explore are both timely and relevant. Their political posters address themes of education, incarceration, globalization, gender identity, and third world unity; and have been distributed at gatherings such as the Free Press Conference, World Social Forum, National Political Hip Hop Convention, Allied Media Conference, and in actions for Casino Free Philadelphia, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Code Pink.
The exhibition opens March 25, 2010 and remains on view until June 25, 2010.

I think the movie is from 2000 to 2015, or it might be a little older. I remember that the ufo had rainbow lights. I think its graphics were like From Up on Poppy Hill. The movie had feelings of nostalgia, and sadness with adventure.

The Vicki Myhren Gallery is the main exhibition venue at the School of Art & Art History. Integral to the educational mission of the SAAH, it provides an opportunity for students to experience exhibitions and interdisciplinary programs exploring the visual arts. Exhibitions feature work by artists from SAAH as well as work from regionally, nationally and internationally known artists.
Students can take advantage of the Gallery in many ways, ranging from simply enjoying current exhibitions, attending lectures and panels hosted by the Gallery, to informal visits with artists, collectors and others involved in the creation and presentation of art.
The Vicki Myhren Gallery hosts an annual exhibition of the work of graduating students in the BFA program, and also supports student exhibition programs in the main lobby of the Shwayder Art Building and Gallery 023.
Our principal educational goal for student employees and volunteers is to supplement coursework and off-campus activities of SAAH programs.

We encourage both graduate and undergraduate students to investigate opportunities to participate, by visiting our DU Student Exhibit and Opportunity Portfolio page, or by contacting us at [email protected] or 303-871-4445.


Embargo be dammed. 2013 Nissan GT-R rumors posted to Twitter from Evo Magazine. A NAGTROC member posted a tweet from Jethro. The official information should be released around November 7th. Until then add this to the rumor pile.
New valves, heads, induction and cats. Revised springs/dampers and - get this - geo/spring/damper different right to left for driver weight.
More power/torque especially at high rpm. Felt a shade more agile but on very wet track hard to feel nuances. Still utterly compelling.
His dedication to the car is extraordinary. And to those who asked, 1720-1740kg is THE optimum weight for a road supercar. Fact. He says.
GT-R price update: 2 - 5k increase.
New heads and cams? VVEL like the 370Z/G37 would be cool, expensive, and it would put a lot of heat into the oil, but it would make for a nice flat torque curve- now closer to a line. Variable valve event and lift. Its great tech, but probably not in the cards for now. The same with direct injection. They could pick up some power and fuel economy with direct injection, like the 911, but it doesn't seem to be a change for a 2013 car.
1720-1740 kg. I really can't agree with this. Lighter is always going to accelerate faster, corner faster, and stop faster than a heavy car. It will also do it over and over with lighter components. I understand that a big twin turbo charged road car, luxury road car, with leather and bluetooth, is going to have some heft. Stop trying to make excuses for it.
2k-5k increase, is probably English pounds. So maybe a $4,000-$10,000 increase in the US. If I were to guess I would say $92,500 on the Premium, just under $100k on the Black Edition GT-R for 2013. .
Hope that it will not be a rumor. The specifications of 2013 Nissan GT-R are terrific. Its a good upgrade.

Types of Connection, Usually circuits exceeding two components have two standard types of connections: series and parallel. A series circuit is often a circuit by which parts are connected along only one route, therefore the current flows through a single part to reach the next one. In a series circuit, voltages add around for all those elements attached inside the circuit, and currents will be exactly the same through all elements. In a parallel circuit, every device is directly connected to the power source, so every device gets the same voltage. The present in a really parallel circuit flows over each parallel branch also re-combines when the branches meet again.
Tips to Draw Good-looking Wiring Diagrams, A fantastic wiring diagram has to be correct and clear to read. Take care of all of the info. For example, the diagram must show the very best direction from the positive and negative terminals of each part. Use the perfect symbols. Learn the meanings in the basic circuit symbols and assess the best ones to use. A few of the symbols have close appearance. You must find a way to inform the gaps before applying them. Draw connecting wires as straight lines. Use a dot to point line intersection, or utilize line jumps to indicate cross lines that are not linked. Label components including resistors and capacitors using the values. Make certain the text positioning looks clean. In general it is great to place the positive (+) supply towards the top, and the negative (-) distribution at the bottom, in addition to the logical flow from left to right. Try and tidy up the positioning reducing wire crossings.

The Feds Didn't Blink....They'll Force Scott to Think!
The recent offer by the feds to provide a lesser scale of funding for the Low Income Pool is being characterized by some as a caving in to Rick Scott, or as "blinking" in this game of funding chicken. Others are saying it's more like a rescue mission so that the poor in this state don't end up suffering because of Scott's stubbornness. You can count me among those who go with the second choice, and add this: I think it's a tactical concession that is meant to force Scott to further reveal himself for what he really is.
As of this moment, the feds have the high moral ground. They've offered a compromise that will allow Florida -- if Scott and the Legislature want it -- to continue to fund this desperate need for the next two years. After all, Florida has an almost two billion dollar surplus projected (or 8 billion, if you believe Scott). They could make up for themselves much of what would be cut from the LIP grant for the next fiscal year. If they wanted to.
Of course, that may mean that Scott will have to break a campaign promise or two, such as not funding education as high as he campaigned on. But since this was a guy who promised in 2009 not to cut education, and immediately did so anyway, I'm sure that would disturb him about as much as a housefly would disturb Godzilla.
Or, Scott might have to compromise by not delivering more of those delicious tax cuts to big business....or even that generous $14 per year he was offering us peons who live in the trenches as a savings on our cable TV bill. But if that's the case, Scott will still be forced to show his hand: Will he consider tax breaks for his business allies more important -- or the health and welfare of the poor, sick, and vulnerable? If he chooses the first option, he'll play right into the hands of his opposition.
I think the feds also know that there's a good chance that Scott, demagogue that he is, will say NO to this offer, and continue his lawsuit against the feds, demanding that they send him ALL the money he wants for LIP. All his talk of a state government shutdown may be a hint not of what he expects from a recalcitrant Legislature, but of what he plans to do, as far as he can make it possible, through his own executive power. This is the true coloration of Rick Scott, Hospital CEO, coming through now that he has nothing to lose and no election to face. I think the feds know this. And I think they're using it to paint Scott into a corner. You can just see his eyes nervously darting back and forth as he looks for a way out. There probably isn't one, not that makes Scott come out looking like the caring hero.
Earlier this year I asked whether to expect Happy Face Rick Scott or Tea Party Rick Scott. It looks like I forgot an even more extreme option: Temper Tantrum Tyrant Scott. I'll have to keep that title in mind from now on.

Emails that are triggered by a contact's behavior have the benefit of being perfectly timed. When you send an email in response to a page visit you know the contact is online, and you know which page they are on, so you can send a message that is extremely relevant and timely.
A particularly effective use of triggered emails is to send a message that engages the contact in a one-to-one conversation. It allows a human to step in at the perfect time. Effective marketing & sales automation isn't attempting to automate everything, for most businesses this isn't the appropriate goal, it's creating processes that bring human touch into the equation at key moments so that a human can take care of things only a human can. Automation is great for some things, but it can't (yet) replicate or replace human judgment, intelligence, and conversation.
You could send a triggered email that asks the contact if they have any questions when they visit your FAQ page so that you can address their concerns. Or, you could send them an email that invites them to schedule a demo if they visit your pricing page so that you can move them deeper into your sales process. You might ask them if they need any help if they visit your help docs so you can wow them with your proactive support and resolve their issues before they fester into frustration.
Click the "Web page is visited" trigger so that the automation will begin when the contact visits a particular page of your website.
Enter the URL of the page you want to trigger the message to send. In this example, I'm going to create an automation that sends an email inviting the contact to schedule a consultation if they visit the pricing page. A visit to the pricing page indicates that someone is considering making a purchase and it would be a good time to engage with them to address any concerns and impress upon them the value your solution provides.
... would all trigger the automation.
Set the automation to run "Once" so that the contact doesn't receive the same message over and over each time they visit the page.
You can segment the contacts entering the automation so that the automation only runs if the contact matches certain conditions. For instance, if this automation is going to send a message inviting someone to schedule a demo, you may not want it to run if the contact is tagged as a "customer." You could also use the segment conditions to specify that the automation should only run if the contact has visited the pricing page twice.
You could add a wait condition after your trigger so that the email isn't sent to them the instant they visit the page. For this particular example, I don't want to wait too long so I'm just going to use a 15-minute wait but you could have it wait for 24 hours or whatever makes sense to you.
To add a wait action, click the "+" button.
Select "For a specified period of time" by clicking it.
Now we will send a message. Click the "+" button and then select "Send email" from the "Sending Options" category.
You'll be prompted to create an email campaign. You'll be walked through the steps of the campaign creation process. For more detailed guidance on how to create messages, see that category of help docs. When you are done designing your message, you'll be returned to the automation builder.
Give your automation a descriptive name. For this example, it might be "Send consultation invite on a visit to pricing page." When you're ready, click "Active" to turn the automation on. From that point forward, as contacts visit that page of your site, the automation will run and send them the campaign you created.


You may notice that whenever you are making moves in the right direction thee most random mishaps pop out of nowhere to distract you or discourage you from reaching your goals. I like to call these "surprises" the taxes for progress. Every action has an equal opposite reaction so when you put your positive thoughts, energy, and actions towards good things its only natural that the Universe in an attempt at perfect balance will throw at you random crap to balance out/ negate the positive strides that you put out there. Don't worry just keep swimming. If you continue to think positively, act positively and most importantly react positively then you will cause an imbalance of good energy that the negative counter balance energy can't quite keep up with. Good luck!! Pay your taxes with a smile!

Meadows Opera Theatre presents Händel's Alcina Feb. 8-11, 2018
Posted on February 8, 2018 Updated: September 24, 2019
Meadows Opera Theatre presents Georg Friedrich Händel's Alcina Feb. 8-11, 2018. Photo credit: Kim Leeson
The enchantress Alcina has conjured a magical island from the souls of her former lovers. There she lures unsuspecting men, only to turn them into wild animals and inanimate objects when she tires of them. When she traps the knight Ruggiero, his fiancée, Bradamante – who is herself a knight, disguised as her own brother – comes to the rescue.
The resulting tangle of romantic conflicts and deceptions, and the complexities of how human beings suffer in love, form the story of Georg Friedrich Händel's 1735 masterpiece, Alcina.
Meadows Opera Theatre, directed by Hank Hammett and conducted by Paul Phillips, will present the Baroque opera as its Spring Term production. The show runs Feb. 8-11, 2018, in the Bob Hope Theatre. Ticket are $8 each for SMU students, faculty and staff.
> Buy tickets for Alcina online at Vendini
Händel wrote the opera seria, which takes its setting and many of its characters from the epic poem Orlando furioso by Ludovico Arioso, for his debut season at the Theatre Royal in London's Covent Garden. Dame Joan Sutherland performed the title role for the Dallas Opera in a November 1960 production by Franco Zeffirelli.
Meadows Opera Theatre will sing the performance in Italian with English projected titles.

Meadows Opera Theatre presents a Mozart classic Feb. 4-7
The Meadows Opera Theatre, directed by Hank Hammett and conducted by Paul Phillips, debuts its production of a classic opera by a teenaged Wolfgang Mozart this week. Il re pastore (The Shepherd King) runs Feb. 4-7 in the Bob Hope Theatre in SMU's Owen Arts Center.
Written in 1775, when Mozart was only 19, the libretto features Alexander the Great in a major role. After the conqueror deposes the ruling tyrant of the city of Sidon, he searches for the true heir to the throne, who turns out to be a shepherd boy. The story sets the demands of duty against the demands of love as Aminta, the shepherd-king, struggles with the prospect of an arranged marriage and his own wish to keep to the simple life he knows.
Meadows Opera Theatre comes to the production fresh from winning an important award. In January, with the first entry in its history, the group received second prize for Best Production in the National Opera Association's annual competition for its 2009 staging of Aaron Copland's The Tender Land.
The national award was "an extraordinary honor for our opera program, and it highlights the excellence of our gifted young singing actors and orchestra musicians as well as the superlative training and performance opportunities we are able to give our students," Hammett said. "This recognition is also a testament to the exceptional interdisciplinary collaboration we have here at Meadows between music, theatre and dance."
The Shepherd King is sung in Italian with English supertitles. Tickets are $7 each for SMU faculty, staff and students. Find showtimes and buy tickets online, or contact the Meadows Ticket Office at 214-768-2787 (214-SMU-ARTS).

A Washington state legislator has channeled his inner Hans Hollein, proposing the radical adaptive urban reuse of discarded military equipment: turning old aircraft carriers into a new toll bridge for Seattle.
A Washington state lawmaker looking to ease traffic congestion for several Puget Sound-area communities near Seattle has proposed building an eye-catching new toll bridge made from retired Navy aircraft carriers.
It would involve at least two—although possibly many more—aircraft carriers laid "end to end" to cross a local stretch of water known as the Sinclair Inlet.
[Image: "Aircraft Carrier City in Landscape, project, Exterior perspective," by Hans Hollein (1064); via MoMA].
Just think of the epic possibilities here for pedestrian paths, interstitial business opportunities, weird spaces for physical fitness, peripheral plazas and decks available for private events, and new public park space.
Perhaps even, deep in the labyrinth of the old ships' underbellies, you could open a restaurant, a bookstore, a cinema. A SCUBA academy. An architecture school.
[Images: (top) Old London Bridge; (bottom) Old London Bridge painted by Peter Jackson.
—only gunmetal grey and prickly with artillery, like a surreal hybridization of Constant's New Babylon and the U.S. Navy.
Of course, this isn't exactly a real plan—it's more of a casual remark by a state politician. No feasible studies, environmental reviews, or financial plans have yet been put in place, for example (although apparently one is in the works), and I personally doubt that such a thing could ever see the light of day.
But here's to weird architectural visions popping up in unexpected contexts—and to the future civilian reuse of discarded military equipment, even (or especially) in spectacular urban ways such as this.
(Spotted via Todd Lappin. Those images of Old London Bridge and Constant's New Babylon also appeared in an earlier post on BLDGBLOG called We'd all be living in dams).
Along similar lines, I confess I have been dismayed to watch them slowly take down the old section of the Bay Bridge, only to sell it for scrap – so many reuse possibilities right here in the San Francisco Bay Area (or at least they could let the people take it over.

7 Twists on the Margarita
Marcy Franklin
Let's update the ordinary margarita with jalapeños, mango, and blood oranges
What is Tequila?
What is Tequila? 2:02 mins
How to update your traditional margarita.
Everyone loves margaritas, and good ones at that — not those messes of sour mix and watered down tequila that we've been served too many times. And the standard margarita, made with only tequila, agave nectar, and lime, can get a bit dull once you've mastered the art of margs. So instead, we give you 7 updated recipes that will give your magarita the shake-up it needs.
Click here for 7 Twists on the Margarita Slideshow
What's in the original margarita? Well, that depends on your liquored-up version of who actually made the drink to begin with. As CBS, the Smithsonian, and Esquire point out, the inventors' names may have very well gotten drowned in a pool of tequila and Triple Sec, but there are a few names that pop up over and over. Some say that the margarita was named after Margarita Sames, a socialite who first mixed one up at a party in Acapulco, Mexico. Later, one of her party guests, Tommy Hilton, added it to the bar's menu at his hotel chain, says the Smithsonian — ensuring that no one would ever go without a salt-lickin' good margarita in his lifetime. That margarita is as traditional as it gets, which is why most bars and restaurants these days feel the need to update it.
What do you need to give your margarita a much-needed revamp? Well, it's all about the ingredients you use: we like a bit of kick to our tequila, which is why plenty of the cocktails involve chipotle, jalapeños, or habaneros. And we definitely will use the hottest ingredients to sweeten up our margs, too — blood oranges, coconut, mango, passion fruit, and prickly pear all top our list. You can't go wrong with these reinvented margaritas — trust us. Click ahead to see the recipes.

Is white the white I would expect? It is a characteristic of natural paints that they are not brilliant or pure white, but they are classified as white - white covers quite a scale, the paint achieve a whiteness level of 94% against EN13300 and as such are considered white. We are conscious that white is a very wide spectrum and people have different expectations which is why we also recommend people try testers to ensure satisfaction; our experience is that a huge majority of our customers prefer the white a little warmer that the stark brilliant whites - again all personal taste and perception though. There is a distinct difference, the white is certainly a little more creamier than a brilliant white, when painted on I would expect the first coat at least to be a little of coloured when using a deep coloured primer, although over subsequent coats the colour we know as white will be achieved.

Big gap exists on health care spending between Latinos and whites, study finds
New research out of UCLA has found that Latinos living in the United States — particularly those who were born outside the country — are far less likely to spend for health care and are more likely to pay out-of-pocket when they do spend than the white population.
And while that disparity shrinks for naturalized Latinos the longer they stay in the country, spending disparities remain large over time for non-citizen Latinos, the researchers found.
Arturo Vargas Bustamante, an assistant professor in the department of health services at the UCLA School of Public Health, and Jie Chen of the City University of New York examined health-expenditure disparities among Latinos based on their time of residence in the U.S. and their citizenship/nativity status.
They found that Latinos, including both the native-born and foreign-born populations, were 68 percent more likely than whites to have no health care spending at all and were 6 percent more likely than whites to pay out-of-pocket if they did spend. They also found that Latino health expenditures were, on average, only 57 percent of white expenditures.
Over time, the disparities between foreign-born naturalized Latinos and whites narrowed or disappeared, the researchers said, but disparities between foreign-born non-citizen Latinos and whites remained constant or declined only slightly.
The results appear in the current online edition of the journal Health Services Research.
The researchers used two national datasets, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from the United States National Center for Health Statistics. MEPS provides detailed consumer information on an individual's health expenditures, socioeconomic characteristics, health and health insurance status. They linked the MEPS data to 2000–07 NHIS data to obtain information on time of U.S. residence, individual citizenship and immigration status. Combined, their data examined 76,000 non-Latino whites and 31,500 Latino adults.
Because foreign-born U.S. residents are less likely to spend on health care, Bustamante said, the disparity could be related to the high share of foreign-born individuals among Latinos, compared with other racial and ethnic groups. Lower spending from this population, he said, could also be related to limited eligibility for public plan coverage, a lack of familiarity with the U.S. health care system, a greater reliance on going back across the border for health services, or other factors.
"Our study shows that differences are largely explained by related factors with this population, such as a relatively young age, low income, fewer years of schooling, good health status and lower health care access and utilization," Bustamante said.
The findings, he said, highlight the importance of having health insurance coverage and a usual source of care to help reduce the inequalities between Latinos and whites.
But the good news, Bustamante said, is that over 10 years, disparities between foreign-born Latinos and native-born Latinos become less pronounced. This could be interpreted as evidence of intergenerational improvement and of a gradual assimilation of the Latino population in the United States, he said.
The UCLA School of Public Health is dedicated to enhancing the public's health by conducting innovative research; training future leaders and health professionals; translating research into policy and practice; and serving local, national and international communities.
