As the field of socially-engaged art and design grows, practitioners are often not from the communities their work takes place in. What does that relationship produce? How can we be mindful about this power dynamic and bring consciousness to the work, to address issues of privilege and begin to leverage power and resources towards more equitable outcomes? In this panel, panelists and participants will draw on their own experiences working within communities by sharing participatory projects and processes, stories of struggles and successes, and personal philosophies that charge the work.
This event will be immediately followed by a facilitated discussion to continue exploring the ideas brought up by the panel. Participants are invited to join the facilitator and take part in these 50 minute Digester conversations at the end of this panel.


When it comes to choosing a sports drink to prepare you for, and sustain you through, a race or hard training session there's certainly no shortage of choice! The chances are that, like me, you've tried many different offerings from a wide variety of producers.
A new entrant to the UK market is Drip Drop Sport (also available in the US as Drip Drop) which claims to be somewhat different to other solutions. The powder was originally developed as an 'Oral Rehydration System' for famine-ravaged countries but has recently made the jump across to the endurance sports market.

ABT is fantastic. I have worked with them in multiple capacities, from data backup to IT support to hardware knowledge base. They are responsive, fast, seemingly always available, and never rest until they get the right answer. Besides simple determination and work-ethic, the Team at ABT is also among the most knowledgeable I have ever seen. They are always willing to do what it takes, and also do their best to keep costs down so that you are able to rest at night knowing you got what you needed without paying too much. ABT, you are THE BEST!
All Business Technologies is the best IT company I've ever dealt with. As my business has grown, they have helped grow with me providing the necessary solutions to navigate our more complicated infrastructure.

Their response to emergencies is unparalleled and I would highly recommend them (and do) to small and large businesses alike.
All Business Technologies has been so extremely helpful in streamlining the way things are run at our office. We have noticed such an improvement from our last IT provider since switching to ABT. Downtime has literally become a thing of the past. The piece of mind that comes along with a trustworthy IT company is priceless. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company. They have earned a customer for life!
Dave and his staff have bailed me out more times than I can count. They are knowledgeable with all IT issues and have made my business run smoother and streamlined our paperwork and management process. I recommend him for all of your business technological needs.

Welcome | Environmental Humanities
In this time of profound environmental transformation and human dominance of most aspects of planetary life, humanities perspectives are urgently needed to help interpret and give meaning to the rapidly changing world around us. Humanities scholars have an opportunity to reshape how we think about environmental problems and "the environment" itself. In turn, interdisciplinary dialogue with scientists and social scientists can stimulate the humanities in productive ways, raising new research questions and providing fresh ways to approach longstanding issues.
Yale Environmental Humanities aims to deepen our understanding of the ways that culture is intertwined with nature. How can humanities disciplines contribute to a broad interdisciplinary conversation about humanity and the fate of the planet? How can the study of environmental topics, in turn, reshape teaching and research in the humanities? What can humanities scholars learn through greater collaboration with social and natural scientists, and what can the sciences learn from the humanities?
Yale Environmental Humanities gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the inaugural 320 York Humanities Grant Program and the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

Climate and History Initiative | Environmental History At Yale
Yale's Climate and History Initiative is a collaborative effort to explore the relationship between climate, ecology, and the historical evolution of societies, institutions, and economies. Launched during the 2014-2015 academic year with support from Yale's Whitney Humanities Center and the Yale Climate and Energy Institute, the Climate and History Initiative encourages collaborative research and learning among historians, social scientists, and natural scientists to examine the relationship between history and climate.
Key questions being explored by faculty members in the group include: How can academics in the humanities and social sciences sort through the enormous amount of climate science that has been generated in the last ten years? How does this data map onto the historical record? How has human society adapted and responded to climate and ecological change in the past, and how might it in the present and future?
On October 21-22, 2017, Yale hosted a faculty seminar on abrupt climate change and societal collapse, "Collapse! What Collapse?."

She Left Harvard. He Got to Stay. – The Chronicle of Higher Education
Terry Karl lost count of how many times he tried to kiss her. In his office, in her office, at a hotel during a conference. She remembers the night in her car when he confided that he would be the next department chairman, and that he would review the book she was writing. It was unfortunate, he said, that he had to decide the fates of people he liked. He moved his hand to her thigh, beneath her skirt, and leaned in for a kiss.
It was November 5, 1981. Karl had been at Harvard University for less than a year. She was an assistant professor of government, and Jorge Domínguez was her senior colleague. He had tenure; she didn't. Domínguez would soon be president of the Latin American Studies Association; she studied Latin America. He sat on the editorial boards of prestigious journals like American Political Science Review and Social Science Quarterly. He was already a name in the field, while she was still establishing hers. He could be helpful to her — or not.
For two years, according to Karl, Domínguez made numerous sexual advances, disregarding both verbal and written pleas to stop. It eventually led her to file a complaint, and Domínguez was found guilty by the university of "serious misconduct." Domínguez was removed from administrative responsibilities for three years and told that any future misconduct could trigger his dismissal. Karl considered his punishment a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile, she decided that she couldn't remain at the same university as Domínguez considering what he'd done, and what she feared he might do.
She left. He stayed.
Where did the Republican Trump-haters go? – BBC News
Anthony Zurcher North America reporter @awzurcher
Once upon a time there was an active, vocal resistance among conservatives to the prospect of Donald Trump's presidency. One year in, and the signs of dissent are rapidly fading.
On Friday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference on the outskirts of Washington, DC, Donald Trump took the stage and reminded the packed hall just how far he'd come.
"Remember when I first started running?" the president asked. "People said, 'Are you sure he's a conservative?' I think I proved I'm a conservative."
Mr Trump then launched into nearly an hour and a half of his trademark campaign-style oratory, often acknowledging that he was deviating from his "boring" speech text. On script and off, however, it was clear his intended objective was to drive home the point that he has governed as a true conservative.
He boasted of his tax cuts, right-wing judicial nominations, regulatory rollbacks and defence of religious liberty.
Those are the sort of accomplishments attendees of this annual conference of young Republicans, grassroots activists, party functionaries, conservative media pundits, assorted merchants and special interests longed for through eight years of the Obama presidency, and now they're getting. That's got to make them thrilled, right?
Treasury Department Slashes Puerto Rico's Disaster Relief Loan Fund
Puerto Rico's Governor Ricardo Rosselló said the U.S. Treasury Department has unexpectedly slashed the disaster relief loan for the island after Hurricane Maria. The loan has been cut to $2 billion—down from $4.7 billion. This comes as the Army Corps of Engineers says parts of Puerto Rico will not have electricity restored until the end of late May—eight months after the hurricane hit the island.
Climate News: Temps Surge at North Pole; Sea Rise Floods U.S. Bases; Shrinking Lake Chad Causes Hunger Crisis
In news on the environment and climate change, scientists have been stunned by the unprecedented warm temperatures in the North Pole, which has surged above freezing temperatures in the middle of the winter. Meanwhile, a number of retired U.S. military generals and admirals say rising sea levels are flooding an increasing number of U.S. military bases around the world. In Nigeria, leaders from across Africa are gathering to discuss the escalating hunger crisis of 17 million people who depend on Lake Chad, which is shrinking due to climate change. And in China, more than a quarter of a million companies that discharge air and water pollution will have to start paying an environmental tax beginning in April, under China's new Environmental Protection Tax Law.
Epidemics in Western Society Since 1600 with Frank Snowden

Epidemics in Western Society Since 1600 (HIST 234)
Epidemics, or high-impact infectious diseases, have had an historical impact equal to that of wars, revolutions and economic crises. This course looks at the various ways in which these diseases have affected societies in Europe and North America from 1600 to the present. Contrary to optimistic mid-twentieth-century predictions, epidemic diseases still pose a major threat to human well-being. Diseases will be considered not only in their biological effects, but also as social, political and cultural phenomena. Attention will therefore be given to the different forms of human response to epidemics, from medical science to artistic representations.

I knew this was his life's mission, to notice connections between things, but I'd never seen this quote, put so succinctly. When I look at objects or groups of objects, I see lines connecting several points and marvel at how many of these connections there are in nature. I actually use this unique arrangement of lines as a grid to lay out my drawing, rather than imposing the typical, arbitrary and antiseptic grid of squares most artists are loathe to use. I find the process more appealing and compelling as an art spirit. It is also quite accurate, as long as you perceive the angles correctly, in relation to a fixed vertical and horizontal. In fact, this concept of points connected by lines is one of what I call the "Three R's of Drawing." The operative word is relative.
And these are just connections appreciated in the visual realm. In the sixties they used to say, "everything is relative." Well it's still true today, just as it was in da Vinci's day. We are all interrelated, economically, socially, intellectually, spiritually, etc. Things we do, or fail to do, have an impact on the entire balance. Sartre believed everything we do, we do on behalf of all humanity. I remember when I first realized this, it was like a weight, because in my youthful impetuousness, I simply wanted what I wanted and believed serving my own interests was the path to happiness. I have come to realize doing "right," whether seeing the angle of a line correctly or being kind to a homeless person, is cumulative and exponential in its reward.

Iran has no intention to leave Syria, top official says
Iran has n...
MOSCOW (AP) – Iran has no intention of leaving Syria regardless of U.S. and Israeli pressure, a senior envoy to Iran's leader said Friday, reaffirming a tough stance on the issue expected to top the agenda of the upcoming U.S.-Russian summit.
The statement from Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, came in the wake of his meeting in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin. A day earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Putin that Israel wants Iran to leave Syria.
The high-level talks precede Monday's summit in Helsinki between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, who are set to discuss the Iranian presence in Syria.
Both the U.S. and Israel want Iran to pull out of Syria, while Russia has warned it would be unrealistic to expect Iran to fully withdraw from the country.
A possible deal could see Syrian troops replacing Iranian forces and its proxy Hezbollah militia in the areas near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Velayati reaffirmed Iran's firm intention to maintain its presence in Syria, but skirted a question about a possible pullback from the border, saying only that Tehran won't bow to U.S. and Israeli coercion.
"We coordinate the Iranian presence in Syria with Russia and Syria," Velayati said during a meeting at Moscow's Valdai Club discussion platform. "We will be present there the way we consider necessary. Sometimes we will play our role in Syria open-handed, sometimes we will do it with our hands hidden."
While Velayati maintained a combative tone, his careful response reflected the intense diplomatic maneuvering ahead of the Helsinki summit.
He expressed skepticism about the outcome of the meeting, repeating tough criticism of the U.S. and saying he didn't expect Trump to make any positive contribution to stabilizing the Middle East.
Velayati argued that Iran along with Russia helped stem fighting in Syria and prevented the country from falling to the Islamic State group and other militants, scoffing at the U.S. demands to leave.
"We have
"We have come there without the Americans' permission and we won't heed their demands to leave," he said.
Velayati also strongly warned Russia against listening to the U.S. arguments about the Iranian presence in Syria.
"I told the Russian officials: Now the Americans are telling you that the Iranians must leave Syria and tomorrow they will ask you what you are doing in Syria," he said. "They are trying to split our alliance."

The physiological function of pericytes is not yet clearly identified, although it probably has contractile properties. We determined the specific binding of endothelin 1, a 21–amino acid peptide with potent vasoconstrictive action, and the stimulation of diacylglycerol/protein kinase C (DAG/PKC) pathway in cultured retinal capillary pericytes by endothelin. A single specific binding site for 125I-labeled endothelin was identified, with an apparent Kd of 1.3 nM and a maximal binding capacity of ∼1–2 × 105 sites/cell. Endothelin (100 nM) increased total cellular DAG content by 15% at 5 min and 24% at 10 min. When pericytes were labeled isotopically with [3H]glycerol, endothelin stimulated [3H]DAG formation by 100% at 10 min and 88% at 30 min. After 10 min of endothelin treatment, PKC activities were increased by 60 and 100% in the membranous and cytosolic pools, respectively. We conclude that bovine retinal capillary pericytes possess numerous high-affinity specific binding sites for endothelin that mediate the action of endothelin by the stimulation of the DAG/PKC pathway in pericytes. These findings suggest that endothelin is a regulator of the contractile properties of pericytes, which may be adversely affected in diabetic retinopathy.

What to do with a gift card once a business closes
Market Basket
Mary Shown
For their 50th anniversary last year, Fred and Cindy Scott of South Bend received a gift card to one of their favorite restaurants, Lucchese's Italian Restaurant in Elkhart. The duo enjoyed visiting the family Italian restaurant and often made a day of the trip.
So when the coronavirus pandemic caused shutdown across the state, the Scotts stayed home and held onto their $50 gift card, planning to use it once things began to reopen. But in April, Lucchese's ownership announced the restaurant would close permanently after 38 years.
And the Scotts felt stuck.
"Even if it doesn't sound like a lot of money, it was more the idea," said Fred Scott, 73. "It was one of the gifts from my sister-in-law and we just like to find a way to use it."
Scott said they tried to call the restaurant and even left a note at the door wondering if they could get a refund or if anyone would honor it. The Scotts and a Tribune reporter received no response from the owners.
"The hardest thing was we couldn't get an answer anywhere about what we could or should do about it," Scott said. "We had given up."
The Scotts are in a very familiar situation that many other consumers find themselves in — what to do with a gift card when the business closes. This situation seems to be especially prevalent given at the beginning of the shutdown, most businesses encouraged customers to buy gift cards as a way to support them.
Now, some businesses are closing permanently and consumers are left wondering what to do.
Nichole Thomas, director of communications for Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Northern Indiana, said in buying a gift card, the consumer is essentially offering the business a microloan with the understanding they will receive a service at a later date.
Thomas compares it to a contract and having frank conversations with the business when buying the gift card could avoid a lot of potential confusion.
"It's important, especially in light of COVID, to understand the contract and the really fine print," Thomas said. "At this time, we really urge consumers to make sure they are purchasing gift cards with a credit card and ask about the future of the business. The company should have some kind of plan and policy for it."
If the business does close, here are some steps to take.
Contact the business directly
If the closure is recent, consumers may have luck contacting the business or its customer service about gift cards directly.
Thomas said providing open communication about the situation is in the best interest for both the business owner and customer.
If the business is part of a larger corporation, a customer service representative may be able to offer a refund or simply say you can use the gift card at another location.
At local businesses, consumers may have luck contacting the owners directly and finding a solution for a refund.
Contact your bank
If consumers bought the gift card using a credit or debit card and are looking for an immediate refund of the gift card after the business has closed, Thomas recommends contacting the credit card company or bank to dispute the charge.
"(A restaurant closing) is a valid reason to dispute a charge," Thomas said. "And it's probably the cheapest and easiest way."
Because of this, Thomas says to shy away from using cash when buying gift cards because it is hard to track and there is very little you can do if something bad happens.
See if other businesses will honor the gift card
In some cases, other local businesses have taken it upon themselves to honor or offer a discount for gift cards at recently closed businesses.
Taphouse on the Edge in South Bend recently offered a $10 discount to those who had Granite City Food and Brewery gift cards, which suddenly closed its location inside the University Park Mall in October.
Taphouse co-owner Jeff Morauski said offering the discount also provides an opportunity to show new customers what Taphouse is all about.
"We are just trying to make a good situation out of a bad one," he said. "And we're just hoping to impress them to become future customers."
Send a consumer complaint
Consumers can also file an official consumer complaint through the BBB and/or the Indiana State Attorney General's office. Once a complaint has been filed, the entities can reach out to the businesses to find any recourse that may be available for the consumer.
However, just because consumers can file a complaint does not guarantee there will be an immediate outcome. The attorney general's office does not serve as a personal lawyer, but instead looks out for the interest of the public and can file "on behalf of the state against companies that violate laws protecting consumers," its website details.
The determining factor on what to do regarding court proceedings is if the business has filed for bankruptcy.
Consumers can find out if the business has filed for bankruptcy in the local circuit bankruptcy court.
If the business has filed for bankruptcy and depending on what type of bankruptcy it is filed under, consumers can file a proof of claim to be added to a list of creditors who are owed money.
The court can then decide how much money the creditors may get, but the Consumer Federation of America warns that filing a proof of claim does not guarantee consumers will get the refund.
If the business has not filed for bankruptcy and all else has failed, consumers can take legal action against the business owner directly.
However, the time and cost it takes to legally file a claim could eventually cost more than the gift card itself. Thomas argues the decision can quickly become dependent on if the price of the gift card is worth going through the court system.
"Anything that touches the court system will be time consuming and/or costly," she said. "So it's up to the consumer to determine if it's worth it."
Next Sunday is Father's Day. According to a survey conducted by the National Retail Federation, 75% of consumers plan to celebrate Father's Day, with 58% planning to celebrate virtually. Top gifts include items in personal care, home and gardening tools and appliances. ... Ten Thousand Villages in Granger will reopen Wednesday. The business is at 214 W. Cleveland Road in the Centennial Place shopping center and sells fair trade items. The store also went through a renovation and will have a ribbon cutting event to unveil the new updates from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. ... As a heads up, there will be no column this upcoming Wednesday.

Stories, Selected Works by Jeremy Dennis at Amagansett Free Library
Date: April 21, 2019 1:30 pm – 30, 2019 2:30 pm
Venue: Amagansett Public Library
Categories: Exhibitions, Popups
Artist Reception: Photographer Jeremy Dennis April 26th 5PM-7PM
The photographic works of Jeremy Dennis
on view April 21st – 30th
Artist Reception: Friday, April 26, 5-7PM
The above photograph was inspired by this legend:
Manitou Hill, an Algonquian story based in Western Long Island.
During a great drought, the Manitou instructs a sachem, through a dream, to stand at the top of Manitou Hill and fire an arrow into the air, and on the spot where the arrow lands, he says the people should dig until they find water.
For Algonquian people, the Manitou is known as the unseen power throughout the universe, being present during moments of the miraculous and mysterious.
The people dug and the water spring that was found, called Mascopas, is now beneath a local high school athletic field.
Note: There was a pond at the foot of the hill called "Mascopas" according to local historians Iris and Alonzo Gibbs, which is under the athletic field of John F. Kennedy High School, Plainview, NY.
Stories bring people together. It's how we relate to each other and overcome differences.

Reposted from @settlement_uk A settlement is an official agreement intended to resolve a dispute or conflict. It is also a previously "uninhabited" place where people establish a community. These two terms come together to inform a project that questions the appropriateness of both. Situated within Mayflower 400, a massive cultural festival remembering the historic voyage of the Mayflower, 'Settlement' reasserts the presence and perspectives of contemporary people Indigenous to various tribal nations throughout North America and into the Pacific. 'Settlement' is designed as a creative response and reclaiming of public space to consider the impacts of colonisation on a diverse number of tribal nations who continue to thrive despite its long term effects. 'Settlement' creates space and time to address questions and traumas through contemporary artworks and engagement while also presenting a radical and complex living example of Indigenous resilience and intersection. The Settlement project goes beyond conversations of Decolonisation and historical trauma by presenting vibrant and evolving contemporary art & culture while actively practicing Indigenization. Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger has invited artists from various North American tribal nations and into the Pacific region to join in Settlement. Each invited artist is developing work that explores colonialism and its effects on Indigenous people beyond first contact, working with Luger and other Settlement artists over the course of a year to develop and produce their ideas. Engaging for one-week intervals throughout the project's month-long run, the artists will overlap with Luger and several others so as to live and work together on-site in a large-scale installation of public art at Pounds House, Central Park, Plymouth, UK. #settlementuk #settlement2020 Artwork credit: @jeremynative – #regrann

Jeremy DennisThe Fall of Weskeyjak2018Archival Inkjet Print20 x 30 inches2/10 Wisakedjak(Weskeyjak) is the benevolent culture hero of the Cree tribe (sometimes referred to as a "transformer" by folklorists.) His name is spelled so many different ways partially because Cree was originally an unwritten language (so English speakers just spelled it however it sounded to them at the time), and partially because the Cree language is spoken across a huge geographical range in both Canada and the US, so it has many different dialects. Wisakedjak is a trickster character whose adventures are often humorous. Unlike Plains Indian tricksters, however, Wisakedjak is usually portrayed as a staunch friend of humankind, and never as a dangerous or destructive being. In this story, Weskeyjak teaches a lesson of patience when given goose [email protected] #seasideFlorida

This has always been metric. The unit of power, the watt, is named after British scientist James Watt, and all electricity pricing is in pence per kilowatt hour.
This means that for every appliance that uses 1 kilowatt of power for a period of 1 hour, that price in pence is what it costs to run that appliance, e.g. if the cost is 10 pence per kWh, and the appliance uses 1 kW and is used for 1 hour, then the cost is 10 pence. If it uses 2 kW, then the price doubles to 20 pence in 1 hour. If it uses 100 watts, which is one tenth of 1 kilowatt, then it uses 1 penny per hour (such as a light bulb).
Or if you have 5 light bulbs at 100 watts each, running for only 3 hours each day, for a whole year, then the cost per year would be: 10 pence × 5 bulbs × 0.1 kW × 3 hours × 365 days = £54.75.
Other metric units of electricity include volts, amps, ohms and farads.
Gas bills are also now produced with costs in pence per kWh, which makes it very easy now to compare gas costs with electricity costs.

» Economics of shrimp farming: a comparative study of traditional Vs. scientific shrimp farming in West Bengal
Economics of shrimp farming: a comparative study of traditional Vs. scientific shrimp farming in West Bengal
The advent of scientific shrimp farming in India during 1990-91 not only boosted shrimp production but also attracted criticism on the grounds of generating adverse environmental and social impact challenging the sustainability of the system. Thus while examining the performance of alternative shrimp farming systems incorporating of the cost of negative externalities generated by shrimp farming, the risk associated and the possible fluctuations in the international shrimp market in the economic analysis are also extremely important. The present paper attempts to do so by analyzing the economic viability of alternative shrimp farming systems from a long-term perspective in the context of household level shrimp farming in West Bengal.
