For decades, a locked door inside one family's Belgrade apartment has stayed firmly shut. Now, after 70 years, acclaimed filmmaker Mila Turajlic (Cinema Komunisto) opens the door to reveal not just the divisions inside her own home, but the deep fissures that continue to separate her embattled nation. The Other Side of Everything follows the story of Mila and her mother Srbijanka Turajlic, a formidable member of the resistance against Slobodan Milošević in the 1990s, as they grapple with both their contentious past and unsettling present. A probing inquiry into the responsibility of each generation to fight for their future and winner of the top prize at the world's largest documentary film festival, the widely acclaimed and powerfully resonant The Other Side of Everything is an "engrossing" (Variety) and "wryly humorous" (The Hollywood Reporter) family portrait that "beautifully intertwines the very personal with the painfully political" (Filmmaker Magazine). Here, Turajlic speaks with DOC10 about the rising tide of nationalism, the history in household objects, and stories about mothers and daughters.
Your film is obviously about Serbia and you and your mother's experience, but it's also resonating in other parts of the world right now, including in the U.S. What's been your experience showing it around the world?
It's such a big moment in the film. And she's looking directly at you—but she's also really looking at the audience. Was that planned?
It was so honest and direct. The energy of the scene: She's literally staring down the camera lens, but the way we had built the dramaturgy of the film, we were really building to that moment. There's definitely a switch that happens in the film in the third act, where I'm no longer questioning her, but she's questioning me.
What was the process like of interviewing your mother for this film? Do you think it brought you closer? And what did the relationship of filmmaker and subject reflect on your relationship as mother and daughter?
I do think it's a film about a mother and daughter relationship. During the editing, my producer told me that you never get to see a conversation between a mother and daughter that's not about an anguished family trauma, or how one has destroyed the other. I think it's true; I rarely see mother-daughter conversations that are about engagement and politics and courage. I definitely wanted to address that. The problem for me, when I was filming, is that my mother was so used to doing interviews and lecturing in public places, so in the beginning, she was speaking to me as a journalist. The hardest part in the interviews was breaking down that mode of talking, which was not intimate, at all. It was only until it became a dialogue that I began to realize how to work it into a film. But it was definitely a process. Regarding your question about if we came closer, my mother and I always shared the language of politics, and as a little girl, I followed her to demonstrations. But what definitely changed in the five years of making the movie was that I grew up. The film follows very closely the chronology of how I shot: The first interviews were the first that I shot and the last interviews were the last I shot, so there's a natural progression in our conversations. And at some point, I stopped being the daughter and became the adult, viewing her life as an adult. And I think that's what changed while I was making the film.
Did you intend the film to document yourself and your evolution?
Not at all. To be honest, it took me awhile. When I realized that my questions had to be there, and my presence had to be there, and that I had to establish clearly that I was the person filming and I was the one provoking these situations. It took me some time to accept that as a framework for the film. But it had to do with me realizing that I had to be honest and intimate about where I was at the time.
Your last film was very archival-driven, but here, you're telling a more personal story. And yet, there's a lot of evocative visuals and poetic close-ups. Can you talk about the visual design?
The challenge I set for myself is that I wanted to make a very simple film. I wanted something a lot purer than Cinema Komunisto and much less flashy. If Cinema Komunisto was made on an epic register, I wanted this to be on a more intimate register. I also knew that the film would never leave the apartment. And hence, what really influenced me is that I went to this museum in Istanbul called the Museum of Innocence, created by [author] Orhan Pamuk, based on his book. In the museum, he made these glass display cases where every chapter in his book is retold in glass display cases through daily household objects: an ashtray, a napkin, someone's dress. You can tell so many things about the objects that fill a house. So I really set out to look for those little details that would turn the apartment into a character. I thought the apartment becomes a character, and from there came this idea that the apartment holds history, and that's how I set about building that space. And the evocative power of that space. Another huge inspiration was 17th Century Dutch painting, because again the household become a subject of painting, where there's feeling of light and depth. And the second element I wanted to work with is that because the apartment is so such centrally located, you have this running commentary about what's happening out the window and what's happening inside. So I was interested in how are we going to show time passing through those windows as it also becomes a chronicle of time.

Black Civil War Soldiers

Comprising 10% of the Union Army, Black troops played a vital role in the American Civil War

Deadliest Civil War Battles
Gettysburg Fact Sheet
While Black soldiers fought successfully in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, they were forbidden by law to enlist in the army when the Civil War began in 1861. As the war progressed, it soon became obvious that the issue of slavery and the role of Black people—both free and enslaved—in the war effort would need to be addressed.
Essential Legislation
The First Confiscation Act of 1861 authorized Union officers to seize Confederate property, or âcontrabandâ—including slaves—for use in the northern war effort, thereby relieving the slaves of further obligation to their masters. This legislation was followed by the Second Confiscation Act of 1862, which specifically addressed the status of the captured slaves, or slaves of treasonous masters; they âshall be deemed captives of war, and shall be forever free of their servitude, and not again held as slaves.â But it was Abraham Lincolnâs Emancipation Proclamation (1863) that officially freed all slaves in rebellious territories and paved the way for the formal recruitment and absorption of Black people into the Union army.
âMen of Color, to Arms!â
Former slave turned abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, lent an urgent voice to the war effort, calling on all able-bodied African Americans in newspaper and broadsides to join up. His sons Lewis and Charles joined one of the first Black regiments, the 54th Massachusetts. Officially designated U.S. Colored Troops (U.S.C.T), the 54th, along with other all-Black companies, received the most basic of training before being sent out to fight. Black troops made important contributions to the Union victory with 120 infantry regiments, 12 heavy artillery regiments, 10 light artillery batteries, 5 engineer regiments, and 7 cavalry units. The U.S.C.T contributed approximately 180,000 men, or 10% of the total Union army. Many thousands more served in vital support roles such as porters, carpenters, laborers, cooks, guards, and scouts.
Unequal Servings
The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the US (MOLLUS) lists the names of 120 African American commissioned officers. This represents a tiny fraction of the officers who led colored troops in more than 400 engagements during the course of the Civil War. Racil prejudice, rather than a lack of leadership ability, limited Black soldiersâ advancement.
Inequality and discrimination permeated the ranks. Colored troops were not paid as much as the white soldiers. For example, a Union private received $13 a month (Confederate private $11) while a Black private was paid $10, with $3 deducted for a clothing allowance.
A soldierâs life was extremely hard. For a colored soldier, it was even worse. Black soldiers were mistreated both in the army and in the streets; for some, simply the sight of a colored man in uniform incited violence. In New York City, terrible riots broke out sparked by outrage about the recruitment of Black people; immigrants and working-class people felt threatened by the prospect of freed slaves competing for their jobs. In the south, colored soldiers who had voluntarily surrendered or been taken prisoner were routinely singled out and—against the military code—executed by Confederates who hoped to discourage Black enlistment.
War, the Ultimate Proving Ground
The Black troops persevered in the face of hardship, prejudice, and discrimination. They fought in spite of atrocious treatment and in the face of bitter challenges, believing they could make a difference. They fought for a better future:
So rally boys, rally, let us never mind the past;
We had a hard road to travel, but our day is coming fast;
For God is for the right, and we have no need to fear,
The Union must be saved by the colored volunteer.
~the rally cry of the 54th Massachusetts
Some historians contend that the colored volunteer did indeed save the Union; certainly, the war would have been longer and more deadly if the Union had not benefitted from the service of the Black soldier. Colored troops exemplified meritorious service and bravery, earning the respect and admiration of those they fought with, and those they fought against. Of the hundreds of engagements in which the Black troops fought, some of the most notable were Port Hudson, La. (May 21–July 9, 1863); Milliken's Bend, La. (July 18, 1863); Fort Wagner, S.C. (April 12, 1864); and Battle of the Crater, Petersburg, Va. (Sept. 29–30, 1864); and Nashville, Tenn. (Dec. 15–16, 1864).
In March of 1863, Congress established the Medal of Honor for military valor. All told, 25 Black servicemen (seven Navy) were awarded the military's highest honor.
The High Cost of Success
Frederick Douglass had no doubt that the Black man would serve, and would serve honorably, "Once let the Black man get upon his person the brass letters 'U.S.,' let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship in the United States." But this belief in a better future came at a very high cost. Over the course of the war, almost 40,000 Black soldiers died—30,000 of disease or infection. Colored troops had served in countless capacities in every theater of the Civil War. Many willingly left the bonds of slavery to embrace certain privation and possible death. They sought freedom and citizenship. They have earned their countryâs eternal respect and gratitude.
The 1st South Carolina Volunteers included the first unit of former slaves to be recruited in the U.S. Army.
Black troops were among those present at the surrender at Appomattox at the end of the war. They also helped in the pursuit of Abraham Lincolnâs assassin.
Black women served as nurses, spies, and scouts. One of these was Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman who acted as a scout/spy for the 2nd South Carolina Volunteers.

AP Published 9:50 p.m. ET Feb. 12, 2019 | Updated 11:00 p.m. ET Feb. 12, 2019
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins needed someone to replace David Pastrnak's production while their leading scorer recovers from thumb surgery.
For one night, at least, they found the solution: just about everyone.
David Krejci, Danton Heinen and Brad Marchand each scored during a four-minute span at the end of the first period and the Boston Bruins beat the Blackhawks 6-3 on Tuesday night to snap Chicago's seven-game winning streak.
"We're going to need contributions from everybody with Pasta going down like that," Marchand said, singling out Heinen and Jake DeBrusk, who each had a goal and two assists. "It's great to see them add so much depth to our group. We need that to continue."
Krejci scored again in the third period, when Marchand picked up his third assist, to help the Bruins win for the fifth time in six games. Peter Cehlarik also scored for Boston and Patrice Bergeron had a pair of assists on the day that general manager Don Sweeney announced that Pastrnak would miss at least two weeks after injuring a tendon in his left thumb.
"It doesn't hurt (to score a lot) when your best scorer goes down," said Tuukka Rask, who stopped 23 shots. "Six goals, that's good for the goalie."
Collin Delia made 31 saves, and Alex DeBrincat and Duncan Keith scored for Chicago, which hadn't lost since Jan. 17. Patrick Kane had an assist for the 14th straight game, tying Stan Mikita for the longest assist streak in the history of the Original Six franchise.
"We had a really good run. I think we built a lot of confidence within ourselves," Keith said. "We know what we were doing well and what we were doing to have success, and tonight we only did that in spurts. Against a good team like Boston, they're going to make you pay. And they did."
DeBrincat scored about four minutes into the game, wristing a long, seemingly harmless shot that trickled through Rask's pads. The Bruins killed off a 5-on-3 power play and then Krejci tied it with about five minutes left in the period.
Heinen gave Boston the lead less than a minute later, and another 3:23 later Marchand made it 3-1. DeBrusk gave Boston a 4-1 lead late in the second.
"When you kill a 5-on-3 I can tell you your whole bench gets picked up," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "The skill guys want to go out there and reward the (penalty) killers."
Boston failed to capitalize on a two-man advantage of its own, but the Bruins did have two power play goals — even without Pastrnak, who was tied for ninth in the NHL with 66 points and is seventh with 31 goals.
General manager Don Sweeney said earlier Tuesday that the 22-year-old forward was injured when he fell Sunday night after attending a team sponsorship dinner. According to Sweeney, the doctor will re-evaluate the injury and the timetable in two weeks, but Pastrnak is expected to return this season.
Notes: The Bruins, who haven't left the Eastern time zone since playing the Blackhawks at Notre Dame Stadium in the Winter Classic on New Year's Day, now embark on a five-game road trip to California, Vegas and St. Louis. ... The Bruins have not lost in regulation in eight games. ... Marchand has points in five straight games. ... DeBrincat has points in nine straight games.
Blackhawks: Host the Devils on Thursday.
Bruins: Visit the Ducks on Friday.

My name is Mariette, but my friends call me Marie… some family members call me Kazia. I am a 20 year old French/Ghanaian but I grew up in Ghana with occassional visits to France.
I am quiet and shy but also a very friendly, caring and helpful person. I plan to study Psycholoogy in Europe – preferably in the Netherlands, France, Sweden and other student friendly European countries… in 2020. I wish to be a Child Psychologist one day and believe this would be a great experience for me and an opportunity for me to save up most of the pocket money I will receive for my education.
I have always been fascinated by the study of languages and culture. Hopefully, I have the wonderful opportunity to immerse myself in my host family's culture and study a new language while I'm at it.
I am experienced with taking care of children (from 6 months). I have been catering to my little brother's and cousins' needs since they were babies so I have a fair idea of what to expect. My little brother Madiba is now 11 years old, a bit difficult to handle sometimes but we have a very close relationship since our parents aren't around most of the time due to the business of their schedules.
A typical day requires me to wake up at 5.45am to help him get ready for school by 7.30am. He has a personal driver who takes him to school and brings him home around 4.30pm. While he's gone, I do some house chores and help my mother prepare some snacks or dinner for the family. When my little brother comes back home, my mother(when she's not too busy) and I help him out with his homework and make sure he takes his shower and does his personal studies later in the evening (after dinner).
Sometimes we watch TV shows or anime when he's done studying. We have our arguments sometimes but our relationship is pretty good. Our weekends are pretty monotonous but we enjoy spending time doing the things we love together.
I enjoy bullet journalling, reading novels, drawing, listening to music, watching anime and movies, taking long walks, learning new languages and watching Youtube videos .
I am not a bad cook but I would love some guidance from the family – in terms of what they like and how they want their food to be prepared. I have no problem doing some housework. I am a neat person who cleans up after herself. I would love to help make life easier for my host family – I hate being a burden.
I want to become a nanny or au-pair because I love children and working with families and would love to learn a new language and culture. Like I said earlier, I want to be a child psychologist and I am very passionate about it.
If you choose me as your Nanny or Au Pair I will do everything humanly possible to help you in any way – to be a good friend and to take care of your child(ren). I'm sure this would be an amazing experience for both of us.
Yes... cleaning, scrubbing, dusting, washing dishes, etc.

Ross had brought in the The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Sasha and I had read it previously. Ross had read it a month ago, but wasn't able to be at last month's book club. Like myself, when reading for pleasure, she remembered how she felt about it but not a lot of the details. Ross also finally had the chance to read something that has been on her to be read list for a long time, The Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. Ross described the WWII era love story with a lot of historical references and details about Japanese internment camps in the U.S. Shana is going to borrow this one for the month.
Jaye brought in her copy of Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger. Many of us were intrigued last month by her description. Matt is borrowing it for the month. Jaye had also read Christiana's pick from last month, The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson and she loved it. It tells the story of the archaeologist who discovered King Tut's tomb, but also speculates that the king had died by murder. Jaye also borrowed Matt's pick from last month, Hyperion by Dan Simmons. She described it as classic 80s sci-fi, description heavy, but with an engaging story. She liked it enough to want to read the next in the series.
Don, still trying to overcome an early comment about prefering male writers which we have all forgiven him for, brought in The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict. He enjoyed the story and was often routing for Einstein's first wife, the protagonist you wish would overcome all that is against her. I had read the book and enjoyed it as well.
Christiana took a break from her James Patterson shelves and read We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. This short read has made it around the book from Matt and Ashley to Christiana and myself. Christiana also read Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan, previously read my Ross and myself.
Pamela is using most of her literary efforts on her own writing for her next book. She has been leafing through Cacti and Succulents to learn tips on her indoor succulent garden. She also has plans to gain insight from the book From Panic to Power: Proven Techniques to Calm Your Anxieties, Conquer Your Fears, and Put You in Control of Your Life by Lucinda Bassett.
I read The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager. This was originally Sasha's pick and we all expected some major twists after her description. Ashley borrowed it last month but wasn't able to attend this month. But she brought it by the store in time for me to read it and it was great. It helped get me out of a reading slump I have been in. Christiana is borrowing it this month. I also read Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. It made up for it's borderline "chic lit" classification with suspense and plot twists the result of disguised writing and unreliable narrator format. It was enough to peak Jaye's interest, so I'm excited to see what she thinks about it next month.
Shana has been down the WWII rabbit hole lately. She brought in Mr Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal. The first of a series of mysteries she has been enjoying. Also Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blackman. Also the first of a series, this YA novel is the story of a young girl in Germany who is part of Hitler's inner circle.
Matt brought in I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Many of us enjoyed the movie and of course the book goes into more detail, but also explains more of a purpose to the story it tells. Matt also re-read Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury to prepare for the Halloween season. I am borrowing it this month for the same reasons.
A few of you asked if I could provide more information about how to volunteer at the Hampton Jail in the library program. You can find the volunteer forms and info HERE.
There are several documents there to print and fill out. They can be emailed to Ms. Jenkins at the email provided through the end of this week. But she has taken a job in another locality and will not be of assistance after the 14th. The forms can also be mailed or submitted in person. If you would like to email them next week I will find out who we can submit them to until her position is filled.
Thanks again for everyone who comes out for book club! I always have such a great night with all of you!

'Crime, Justice, Border' event features scholars, artists, activists
Complex and controversial issues of crime, enforcement, security, and human rights will come into focus during the "Crime, Justice, and the Border" event, March 31 through April 2 at ASU's West campus.
Complex and controversial issues of crime, enforcement, security, and human rights will come into focus during the "Crime, Justice, and the Border" event to be held March 31 through April 2 at Arizona State University's West campus. Additional activities will be held April 3 at ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus.
The sixth annual Border Justice Event at the West campus draws together leading experts from Mexico and the United States in a public forum format that is a hallmark of the campus's culture. Central to the event is a multi-part policy symposium on "Violence and Human Rights Crises Along the Border." Download Full Image
Symposium speakers include Luis Astorga and Jose Luis Velasco, researchers at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico whose work focuses on drug trafficking and government policy. Clara Jusidman, a researcher for the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights who led the 2004 national report on the murders of young women in Juarez, and Dr. Kathleen Staudt, the author of many books on border issues, also will share their research findings.
Along with the symposium's scholarly conversations, interactive theatrical productions, film, and an interactive art project will provide engaging opportunities for audience participation. Award-winning playwright and ASU faculty member James Garcia's participatory drama, "Operation Wetback," explores the 1954 mass deportation of Mexican immigrants. New York City-based theater troupe Houses on the Moon will present an interactive performance, "De Novo Part I: Lil' Silent," which brings to the stage true stories of undocumented youth in United States custody.
"De Nadie," one of the films to be screened at the event, is the story of a Central American immigrant's difficult journey to the United States in search for a better life. The film received the 2006 Silver Ariel award as best documentary from the Mexican Academy of Film. William Simmons, associate professor in ASU's New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, calls "De Nadie" a "startling film that sheds light on an unknown part of the struggle of immigrants to come to this country."
This year's arts component also invites audience participation. Organizer and artist Judy Butzine of the Cultural Arts Coalition will facilitate "I'm Migration," an interactive art project. "It's a rare opportunity for audiences to explore border issues creatively at an experiential level," says Michael Stancliff, a New College assistant professor of rhetoric. "This year's arts offerings are particularly rich."
"Crime, Justice, and the Border" organizers believe the serious public conversations these events offer come at a critical moment in the history of our border region. "Just as local headlines are documenting disputes between federal and county officials regarding the proper way to enforce immigration laws, this is a critical time to examine questions including how public perceptions of criminality influence immigration policy," says Simmons, who has directed or co-directed the annual border justice series since its inception in 2003.
"The U.S.-Mexico border represents different things to different people," Stancliff says. "For some, it's a bridge to a new life; for others it's a wall not to be penetrated by outsiders. And for many who have experienced its dark side, the border is a birthplace of crime, violence, and human rights abuses."
Adds Simmons, "Our goal is to inform and educate the public while encouraging dialogue about immigration, smuggling, underground economies, human trafficking, drug wars and border violence. These issues have a profound impact on Arizona."
All events associated with "Crime, Justice, and the Border" are free and open to the public. The schedule of events at ASU's West campus, 4701 W. Thunderbird Road, is:
Tuesday, March 31:

The Bob Saget Sitcom You Forgot Starred Two Huge MCU Stars
Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty
By Max Miller/Jan. 10, 2022 5:54 pm EST
Bob Saget, whose death on January 9 shook the nation that once referred to him as "America's Dad," had a long and storied career. From Saget's iconic role as Danny Tanner on "Full House," to his time hosting "America's Funniest Home Videos" decades before the internet made it easy to find clips of misbehaving pets and family shenanigans, to his voice part as an older Ted Mosby on "How I Met Your Mother," the late actor's work on television is well-known and widely embraced. Across the span of that career, Saget shared the screen with a variety of respected actors. Among his compatriots were "Full House" co-stars John Stamos and Dave Coulier, as well as the late Norm Macdonald, who starred in the second feature film Saget directed, "Dirty Work."
But, as we look back on Saget's career, it seems that an early '00s title from his sitcom oeuvre has slipped from the public consciousness. In today's media landscape, family sitcoms are out as superheroes, intergalactic bounty hunters, California karate kids, and other colorful characters become the focus on our TV screens. In an interesting twist of fate, Saget acted at the dawn of the millennium alongside two stars who are now best known for their work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Saget starred alongside Brie Larson and Kat Dennings on short-lived WB sitcom

Maybe it was his tremendously popular role on "Full House," or maybe it was his kind face and everyman personality, but Bob Saget played a lot of middle-class dads in his heyday. One of those touching dad roles was his turn as Matt Stewart, a widower and the father of two daughters on the sitcom "Raising Dad." The show aired for a single season on The WB network from 2001 to 2002 (via IMDb). Matt's daughters are portrayed by Kat Dennings and Brie Larson, both of whom now star in wildly successful MCU projects.
Dennings, who plays Sarah Stewart on "Raising Dad," is now better known as the wisecracking poli sci major turned scientist Darcy Lewis. She was introduced into the MCU with the 2011 film "Thor," which also stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Stellan Skarsgård. Fans love Darcy's quick wit and too-cool-for-school attitude toward the bonkers events unfolding around her. She most recently returned for the role in the hit Marvel television series "WandaVision."
Larson, meanwhile, is the titular star of the billion-dollar box office smash "Captain Marvel," which debuted in 2019 (via Box Office Mojo). Her character, a former Air Force pilot named Carol Danvers, is gifted with tremendous power in the wake of an explosion involving alien technology. She is not only one of the strongest heroes on the Avengers team, she's a rare beacon of feminist heroism in a genre that has traditionally been defined and controlled by men.
Looking back at "Raising Dad," it's clear both actors have had incredible acting chops from the get-go. But then, that's only expected if you're going to hold your own alongside a legend like Bob Saget.

The community is invited to attend the BLUE STRONG Community Prayer and Appreciation for Law Enforcement from 6 to 7 p.m. Jan. 7 at the Carl Perkins Civic Center. BLUE STRONG was inspired by Jackson resident Ann Luther, who in 2015 began the effort to do something positive to support law enforcement in the face of the restlessness within the nation, Wiser and Mehr said in a news release. From this passion, BLUE STRONG was founded.
Again this year, Luther asks, "On this day, our request is that the community will especially pray for the officers and their families, and show them our respect, appreciation and love. On January 7, 2016, it is our hope that the officers of the city of Jackson and Madison County will be embraced by a BLUE STRONG community."
Wiser said, "The unrest in the nation and national spotlight on law enforcement encourages us to lean on the strength of the community who rally around the men and women in blue. This is a great time to pause and thank the members of law enforcement for what they do every day to serve and protect."
Mehr said, "The BLUE STRONG community recognizes the difficult careers these men and women in law enforcement have chosen. The evening of prayer and appreciation is a time to thank them for their dedication and service. We hope all citizens of Jackson-Madison County will join us in prayer to show our local law enforcement how much we appreciate their dedication and hard work."
Citizens and churches are invited to attend to support and pray for law enforcement.
Sea of Blue in Tipton County
At 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 6, the Tipton County Sheriff's Office will hold a Sea of Blue memorial for all fallen law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. This is the anniversary of Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Calvin Jenk's murder on Highway 14 in Tipton County, officials said in a news release.
The sea of blue will consists of law enforcement officers from various agencies traveling in procession on a route with blue lights illuminated on their cruisers. This light display is a visible sign of honor and in the memory of a fallen comrade within the law enforcement community.
On Jan. 6, 2007, Jenks left the Criminal Justice Complex after an arrest, traveled back to the area of Highway 14 and moments later was murdered, officials said. The Tipton County Sheriff's Office has erected a memorial honoring Jenks at the site on Highway 14.
The sea of blue will begin at the parking lot of the Tipton County Criminal Justice Complex, proceed to Highway 59, then down Highway 14 and stop at the site where a lone THP cruiser will be waiting. The procession will gather at the site of the memorial for a brief prayer and moment of silence and will conclude by following the lone THP cruiser to the intersection of Highway 14 and Highway 54.
"This memorial serves as a reminder to every law enforcement officer of the dangers that our profession holds and the ultimate sacrifice that Trooper Jenks made ... and the sacrifices made every day by law enforcement officers throughout our nation," Tipton County Sheriff J.T. "Pancho" Chumley said. "As we hold this memorial, please pray for the families of those law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty and for the continued safety of the many men and women who serve this community and state every day."

Thomas E. Dewey: The Impossible Dream
Presidential Candidate Thomas E. Dewey
Several unsuccessful presidential nominees have in fact been renominated by their parties for another try. Most have not succeeded on the second attempt either.
One of these, Republican Thomas Dewey, ran against President Franklin Roosevelt,and President Harry Truman of the Democrats, an unenviable task for any man. Thomas Dewey was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he was an interesting man. If he had a weakness as a presidential candidate it was his foreign policy, but that evolved and in his second attempt he was much more of an internationalist.
The Republican Party made him their nominee to run against sitting presidents twice. Once in 1944 against FDR and again in 1948 against Harry Truman.
Dewey was a leader of the liberal wing of the Republican party. He fought the conservative faction lead by Robert Taft.
He was born March 24, 1902 in Owosso, Michigan. Dewey aspired to a professional singing career and had an excellent baritone voice. He had throat problems and decided instead to become a lawyer. Dewey served for many years as a prosecutor and District Attorney in New York City. His nickname was "Gangbuster" for his work against organized crime in the 1930s.
Dewey's reputation carried him to the governorship of New York state in 1942 and he was elected three times in total. He was a strong supporter of the death penalty while governor. During his 12 years as governor over 90 people were electrocuted under New York state authority.
At age 36, in 1940, he ran for the Republican presidential nomination against Wendell Wilkie who went on to lose to FDR.
Dewey won the nomination in 1944, but was defeated by FDR. He was the first presidential candidate to be born in the 20th century, and also the youngest man to ever win the Republican presidential nomination. Had the public known about the true state of FDR's declining health, Dewey might well have won the election. However, that's another story.
The famous headline being held up by Truman
In the 1948 election against FDR's successor Harry Truman, he was almost unanimously projected to be the winner by all the so-called experts. The Chicago Daily Tribue actually printed several hundred copies declaring "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" before election returns showed Truman had won.
Dewey didn't run for president again, but in 1952 he played a major role in securing the nomination for Dwight Eisenhower.
Thomas Dewey is the only Republican to be nominated for president twice and lose both times. He is also the last presidential candidate to wear permanent facial hair, in his case a moustache.
His last term as Governor of New York expired in 1955. After this he returned to his law practice. He died suddenly of a heart attack on March 16, 1971 while vacationing in Florida. He was 68 years old.

Greetings! I've been reading your weblog for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Atascocita Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good job!
Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment
Yes that's one of the things that I love about history is the characters involved and how they reacted to the situtations they faced. As you say it gives us insight into societal changes – the norms of yesterday vs today.
TheElementary says:
I really enjoy your posts on candidates/presidents- and seeing how things have changed over the years. I suppose since society evolves, our choice for president must change too- what leads people to run for office, what habits they have, and so on. It fascinates me how people as a whole can alter so quickly, in just a couple of generations.
I think that's why I like history so much- we're different to those in the past, yet the same if we look hard enough.
I find it interesting to look at the lives of those who came close to being President. Most were most able candidates who would likely have filled the office admirably.
Dennis Price says:
Very interesting. It is funny how the parties have changed in philosophy over the years. Now the more liberal of the politiciians are Democrats. Pappy

A mountaineering jacket that lights up in the dark is being developed.
Gear makers Marmot have teamed up with W.L. Gore & Associates, the Advance Development Group and the Novate ch Electro-Luminescent, of California, to create Phenomenon EL.
This advance concept garment features the latest development in safety and close proximity illumination for the wearer without any adverse weight penalty.
Electroluminescent (EL) panels are strategically integrated into the Marmot waterproof/breathable all-weather Gore-Tex performance shell to provide visibility and identification at great distance at night.
Marmot say the jacket will provide greater safety and visibility in all directions during storms for mountain professionals such a guides and ski patrollers, and quicker, more accurate location and identification for emergency service units like mountain rescue teams and rescue helicopter crews.
The EL panels on the sleeves can also be used to illuminate an immediate area around the wearer to perform tasks like map reading.
Electroluminescence is the conversion of electrical energy into light. It was developed in 1936 and found commercial application in the early 1960's in illuminated aircraft instrument dials. Since then, it has been applied in a broad range of products, ranging from consumer products to telecommunications, cars, safety equipment and functional architectural applications.
In 1987, US Coast Guard research concluded that EL lighting is more conspicuous than point source navigation lighting. EL light is shadowless, homogeneous, can be shaped to fit into small places, available in many colors, does not produce heat, is insensitive to shock, is weatherproof and is flexible. It has never been integrated as wearable technology into high performance waterproof/breathable outerwear until now.
"The Phenomenon EL jacket is a true cutting edge concept garment," said Jim Frazier, vice-president of design for Marmot.
"It is awesome looking and it works, but we have only just begun serious field trials for the functionality, durability and longevity of the system. We have to make sure the full system is reliable in all conditions as the Marmot team athletes and professional mountain guides will push this piece to the very edge of it's performance envelope and it can not fail. This piece represents a major break through in garment design and development and will initiate a whole new field of products for the outdoor enthusiast. In the next several months, we'll be previewing the Phenomenon EL concept garment internationally at the same time as our Fall 2004 Outerwear Collections as a glimpse of things to come."
Novatech is a specialty electroluminescence (EL) manufacturer that developed the EL lighting panels on the Phenomenon EL Jacket. Marmot's Project Group developed the Phenomenon EL garment and integrated the EL system into it.

Semenkare Nebnuni (also Nebnun and Nebnennu) is a poorly attested pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. According to Egyptologists Darrell Baker and Kim Ryholt, Nebnuni was the ninth ruler of the 13th Dynasty. Alternatively, Jürgen von Beckerath and Detlef Franke see him as the eighth king of the dynasty.

Attestation
Nebnuni's name is given in the Turin canon on column 7, line 11 (Gardiner col. 6, line 11). The length of Nebnuni's reign is mostly lost in a lacuna of the papyrus, except for the end "[...] and 22 days".
The only contemporary attestation of Nebnuni is a faience stele showing the king before Ptah "South of his wall", a memphite epithet of the god, and on the other before Horus, "Lord of the foreign countries".
The stele is also inscribed with Nebnuni's nomen and prenomen. The stele was discovered at Gebel el-Zeit on the Red Sea coast in the Sinai, where mines of galena were located.

Reign
The Egyptologist Kim Ryholt credits Nebnuni with a reign of two years, from 1785 BC until 1783 BC. Alternatively, Egyptologists Rolf Krauss, Detlef Franke and Thomas Schneider give Nebuni only one year of reign in 1739 BC.
Although little is known of Nebnuni's reign,  the existence of his stele shows that during this period, rulers of the 13th Dynasty still wielded sufficient power to organize mining expeditions in the Sinai for the supply of construction materials and the production of luxury items. Finally, Ryholt points to the lack of royal connections between Nebnuni and his predecessor. He thus concludes that Nebnuni may have usurped the throne.

GWAR frontman Dave Brockie, passed away in late March, but at the time of the sad news, there had been no cause of death for the sudden passing.
Today, the official cause of death for Oderus Urungus (Brockie's stage name) has been determined as an accidental heroin overdose, according to Richmond, Virginia CBS affiliate, WTVR.
The State Medical Examiner's Office revealed the official cause of death was "acute heroin toxicity, means: accident."
Brockie, who was 50 at the time of his passing, was found dead in his Richmond home by his roommate on the morning of March 23. At the time of the initial police report, they did not suspect foul play to be the cause, but they had found evidence of heroin use at the residence.
Brockie's struggle with drugs was something that was known and was even made public back in 2010 when Decibel wrote a profile about the musician. The writer even wrote in the article that he had "smoke crack" with him behind a dumpster.
With Brockie's death some question arose including what would become of their beloved GWAR-B-Q and that tour that was being hinted at by Brockie himself on Twitter back in January. The tour, we assume, has been put on the back burner, indefinitely, while the GWAR-B-Q will go on as scheduled on August 16.
The band revealed plans to establish an arts-based charity in his memory, the Dave Brockie Fund. Friends of Brockie have also joined forces to start a fundraiser to fulfill one of the late musician's dream; to open the GWARBar in the city that he loved, Richmond.
They are aiming to raise $50,000 and currently have obtained $12,714 from donations on their IndieGoGo page.

Kris Kross' Chris Kelly Died of Drug Overdose
A Georgia medical examiner has recently ruled that the cause of death for Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly from Kriss Kross was in fact a drug overdose.
Since the rapper's death, rumors were running rapid that Kelly had in fact died due to a drug overdose. Even though this was the most likely scenario, fans of the duo and others, we're reluctant to admit that he would do that in the midst of a comeback.
Turns out, it was all true.
According to Betty Honey of the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office in Atlanta, Kelly had died due to a toxic combination of drugs when he was pronounced dead on May 1. At the time, paramedics had found him in his Atlanta home, unresponsive and eventually pronounced dead.
Even though Honey has yet to reveal what might have been the drugs used in the late-rapper's death, his mother had revealed that the night before his death, he had used heroin and cocaine and had a very bad drug history.
A memorial ceremony had been held for the fallen rapper back in early May where his uncle, Lemar Williams revealed that Kelly had always wanted to be a performer from and early age; he loved music and would often mimic Michael Jackson's dance moves. Williams also revealed that the rapper loved his hometown of Atlanta and never wanted to leave the city.
The sudden death came as a surprise to many because just a few moths before, Kriss Kross had reunited to perform at the anniversary of Jermaine Dupri's record label So So Def and that an official comeback was in the future for them.

Football preview: A Q&A with Weber State's The Signpost
StephanTeodosescu
Ian Billings/Mustang News
The Cal Poly football team takes on Weber State this weekend in Alex G. Spanos Stadium. The Mustangs are looking to bounce back after suffering a 24-10 loss to Yale this past weekend.
[follow id = "CPMustangSports"]
In anticipation of this weekend's Cal Poly football game against Weber State, Mustang News and Weber State University's student newspaper, The Signpost, exchanged questions about the opposing schools' football team and the upcoming game. Mustang News sports editor Stephan Teodosescu spoke with The Signpost 's sports editor Marcus Jensen.
Cal Poly is coming off a 24-10 nonconference loss to Yale where the Mustangs were outscored 17-0 in the second half. Cal Poly looks to improve upon its 1-0 record in Big Sky play. After winning its first game of the season, Weber State has lost its last five straight heading into Saturday's contest. Kickoff for the Hall of Fame Game is set for 6:05 p.m.
Stephan Teodosescu (ST): Who are some key players to watch for in Saturday's game?
MJ: There are a few players I would watch for in this game. The first would have to be the linebackers. WSU has lost its two best linebackers in the last two weeks, and the secondary has struggled tackling since. I would also watch for quarterback Austin Chipoletti. He is a true freshman and has only one full start under his belt. He was sharing playing time, which I think may have not let him get into a good rhythm. He played better in the game against Eastern Washington and I look for him to tighten up on his mistakes this week and play even better.
ST: Weber State has struggled to score in its last five games (just 41 points total). What's to blame for the offense's woes?
MJ: The offense scored 50 points in the opening game against Stephen F. Austin. After that, we hit a rough patch. The next two games were against vastly superior defenses. The games against McNeese State, we started out well, then piled on mistake after mistake. The last game might have been a turning point. The offense scored three touchdowns. The team is extremely young. They are prone to mistakes. That is most likely the biggest reason for the lack of scoring.
ST: How has Weber State's tough schedule factored in to its rough early-season start?
MJ: WSU's schedule is one of the toughest, if not the toughest in the Big Sky. They have played two FBS opponents, two top-15 FCS opponents and two other tough schools. It has factored in. But you can't blame everything on the schedule. The team hasn't played well, outside the first game, in any facet of the game.
ST: Head coach Jody Sears is in his second year and has gone 3-14 in his tenure. What's the feeling around the program regarding how he's done so far?
MJ: Coming into the season, the program was very high on coach Sears, and I don't think that has changed. From my interactions with him, he is a fantastic coach. He is just in a very difficult spot. He came in and had to rebuild the program. Many players this year are freshman, we have over ten freshman that play every week. And our depth is not very good, which is tough with the injuries we've had. Everything I have heard points to Sears staying around for at least another year or two.
ST: What's your prediction of how this one will turn out?
MJ: I predict WSU to lose the game, but it will be a tighter contest than the last week. I predict a 34-20 game in favor of Cal Poly. The defensive woes, especially against the run, will be the downfall this week.
MJ: Same question, who are the players to watch for this week?
ST: Players to watch for this week include quarterback Dano Graves and running back Kristaan Ivory. Graves is a sophomore transfer from Air Force and will be making his first career start on Saturday. He'll be replacing fellow sophomore QB Chris Brown who took over the reigns when the first-stringer tore his ACL at Fresno State earlier in the season. Since that game, Brown has shown flashes of brilliance, but has been otherwise inconsistent with his arm. Compounded with a hip injury suffered last week, head coach Tim Walsh decided to replace Brown with Graves as the starter this week.
Willie Tucker, Cal Poly's top receiver hurt his knee last week against Yale and will be out for an extended period of time. While the Mustangs don't throw the ball much in the first place, having their top pass-catcher out of the lineup will mean more work for the running backs, namely Kristaan Ivory. He leads the Big Sky and is No. 14 in the FCS with 116.8 rushing yards per game this season. I except his workload to increase along with running backs Akaninyene Umoh, Kori Garcia and fullback Brandon Howe's, as well.
MJ: Cal Poly has been ranked in the top 25 until this last week. Where do you see this team and how have the losses affected the team? Can they get back up there?
ST: Last week's loss to Yale was a major disappointment. Cal Poly needs to put together two halves of football if it wants to compete for its second straight title in the Big Sky. Seeing how Graves does in his first career start will help gauge where the team is, but up until this point the Mustangs have been quite inconsistent. But, yes, I think they can get back up there as long as they limit the turnovers and play their game in both the first and second halves.
MJ: How do you see the game turning out?
ST: Considering Weber State's recent woes and knowing that the sting of last week's loss is still lingering, I think Cal Poly will win this one handily. I say the Mustangs win 42-17, but I predicted a win last week and look what happened. Yale came into Alex G. Spanos Stadium and walked away with a victory in a game that many people thought would be a gimme for the Mustangs.

West Point, GA
Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities - West Point, Georgia / Lanett, Alabama
Overview >> Georgia >> West Point (Lanett, Alabama)
West Point: Historical Overview
Located in Chambers County, Lanett, Alabama, was chartered as "Bluffton" in 1865. Its location on the Chattahoochee River led to the construction of cotton mills, as the town became a regional industrial center processing the cotton grown in the area's farms. Bluffton was so connected to these mills that the town changed its name to Lanett, in honor of Lafayette Lanier and Theodore Bennett, early textile mill owners. The local newspaper, the Chattahoochee Valley Times, would run several pages in every issue detailing news from each mill.
Lanett, Alabama, and West Point, Georgia, are true twin cities, located right next to each across the Chattahoochee River. Streets that begin in Lanett end in West Point. Jews in West Point and Lanett formed one close-knit community that thrived for over a century before withering in recent decades.
Stories of the Jewish Community in West Point
Heyman and Merz
The story of the Jewish community in Lanett and West Point begins with the friendship of two immigrants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Heyman Heyman was born in Prussia in 1825, and came to the United States in 1852, first settling in Philadelphia. There, he befriended the Bavarian-born Louis Merz. The two decided to move to LaGrange, Georgia, where Heyman worked as a bookkeeper in a Jewish-owned store while Merz peddled merchandise in the surrounding countryside. When a railroad was built connecting LaGrange to West Point in 1854, the two friends headed west, opening the dry goods store Heyman & Merz in West Point. Louis Merz's sister Betty had immigrated to Cincinnati. On business trips north, Heyman would often visit her. The couple got married in Cincinnati in 1859 with Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise officiating. Heyman then brought his new wife south to live with him in West Point. Another Merz sibling, Daniel, came to West Point in 1860, joining his brother and brother-in-law's business.
In 1860, Heyman and Louis Merz were thriving. Heyman owned $1200 in real estate and $6000 in personal property at the time. Their success was soon interrupted by war and tragedy. Louis Merz joined the West Point Guards at the start of the Civil War, and was later killed at the Battle of Antietam. Dan Merz and Heyman remained in Lanett during the war, buying a tan yard and tanning leather to make boots for Confederate soldiers. After the war, the Jewish community grew, much of it around the seven children of Heyman and Betty Heyman.
Phillip Hagedorn
The Community Grows
Other Jews made their way to the area, often intermingling with the Heyman family. Prussian-born John Hagedorn came to West Point in 1872, and later opened the store J.J. Hagedorn & Co. He soon brought two of his nephews, Zach and Philip Hagedorn, to town to help with the business. In 1883, the foundation of the Jewish community of Lanett was cemented when Zach and Philip Hagedorn married two of Heyman and Betty Heyman's daughters, Jennie and Lula. The Heyman and Hagedorn families formed the nucleus of the area's Jewish community for much of the next century.
Organized Jewish Life in Lanett and West Point
It did not take Lanett and West Point Jews long to form a congregation. In 1859, the handful of Jews in the area came together to found Congregation Beth El (House of God). The congregation was always very small; it met in private homes for its first 50 years, though members did purchase land for a cemetery in West Point. The congregation embraced Reform Judaism, and later joined the Reform Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC). In 1909, Betty Heyman donated a portion of her land that had earlier been a vegetable garden to the congregation for the construction of a temple. Beth El received contributions from both its members and local Gentiles to raise the $3,000 it took to construct the modest building, which was located in Lanett. Rabbi David Marx of the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation in Atlanta led the dedication service.
At the time of the temple's dedication in 1909, about 15 families belonged to Beth El, which attracted members from nearby towns like Opelika and LaFayette, Alabama, and LaGrange, Georgia. The congregation never had a full-time spiritual leader, but brought in rabbis from other cities once a month to lead services, often on Sundays. Rabbi Marx came to Lanett to lead services for 30 years, until he was too elderly to make the trip. He was replaced by Rabbi Eugene Blachschlager of Montgomery, who served Beth El monthly from 1946 to 1965. After 1965, Rabbi Alfred Goodman of Columbus, Georgia would travel to Lanett once a month. For the high holidays, the congregation would bring down rabbinic students from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati to lead services. One of these student rabbis was Alexander Schindler, who went on to become the president of the UAHC.
When the temple was built, the small congregation began to elect officers and keep board minutes. Lee Heyman, the son of Heyman and Betty, served as the first president of Beth El, remaining in the position for over forty years until his death in 1952. Milton Cohen, who had married Jean Hagedorn, succeeded Heyman, serving as Beth El's president from 1952 to 1967. James Maxwell was the last president of the congregation, while Joe Herzfeld and Lee Herzberg were longtime officers.
The small congregation had a Sunday school to pass on Judaism to their children. The Jewish women of the area founded a chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women. The group oversaw the maintenance and upkeep of the temple and also organized community programs such as the annual seder supper.
Civic Engagement of the Merchant Class
Jews in Lanett and West Point were part of the local merchant class, owning stores that catered to the cotton mill workers and area farmers. In 1919, these stores included: Lee Herzberg's, which sold men's clothing, Solomon Brothers, which sold dry goods, and Lee Heyman and Co., which sold furniture and dry goods. Each year, these Jews would advertise in the local newspaper that they would be closing their stores for the Jewish High Holidays. Jews became active in civic life; Lee Heyman was elected to the Lanett city council in 1893, garnering more votes than any other council candidate.
Lanett and West Point Jews had good relations with their Gentile neighbors. When the local Presbyterian Church was destroyed by a tornado in 1919, its members met at Temple Beth El for several years until their church was rebuilt. Jennie Hagedorn played the piano for the Presbyterian Church. When Beth El celebrated its centennial in 1959, the pastor of the First Methodist Church gave the invocation, the minister of the First Baptist Church gave the benediction, and a local Episcopal priest gave a "scriptural lesson." Rabbi Milton Grafman of Birmingham's Temple Emanu-El gave the keynote address
The Jewish Community in West Point Today
At the time of its 100th anniversary, Beth El had 22 member families, representing about 50 Jews. At their peak, the two towns never had more than 100 Jews combined. In 1937, 32 Jews lived in Lanett, while 41 lived in West Point. Considering these small numbers, it's truly remarkable that the congregation survived for over a century. By 1968, according to member Fannie Herzberg, "the congregation had grown woefully small, by death of so many members, and the moving away of others." The congregation continued on until 1977, when it disbanded and sold the temple, which was later torn down. The religious artifacts from the synagogue were given to Temple Israel in Columbus, Georgia, where most of the remaining Jews of Lanett and West Point went for services. Though the congregation is no more, its memory is preserved.

Q: SSIS 0x80040e37 oracle dataflow saying that a table doesnt exist in 2016 (but works fine in 2017) I have a table comprised of columns varchar2's of ascending length. They range from varchar2(1911) to varchar2 (2865).
I use an Oledb Connection to the database and in the Dataflow source editor, under the 'table or view' I am able to see the table. However when I select that table I get the following error:
Error Code: 0x80040e37
Error at DataflowTask[Ole DB Source[1]]: Opening a rowset for "inserttablename" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
I do not think it is a datatype length issue as it is able to find a table with a range of varchar2(3993) to varchar2(4000). Maybe it is the cumulative size of the table?
Whats more strange is that it works fine when targeting SQL Server 2017, it is only in 2016 and 2014 that it does not appear to work. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Visual Studio 2017.
It also works with AdoNet connections as well as ODBC connections.

Georg A. Walser investigates the use of the Old Testament (Gen. 47:31b; Ps. 40:7b; Jer. 31:33) in the Letter to the Hebrews, taking the complicated textual history of the quotations into account, especially the Septuagint and the possibility that different Hebrew texts may underlie the Greek translation. Further, he draws on the assumption that Hebrews was composed in a Jewish context, where the Old Testament text had been interpreted for a long time. It is also presupposed that this exegesis was handed down in the post Second Temple Jewish community and in the early church. Hence primary sources, such as Talmud, Midrash and early church fathers, are consulted. The author shows that several versions of Old Testament texts were interpreted, which had a decisive impact on the exegesis and that some versions of the texts were favoured in the Jewish context while others were preferred in the early Church.
