I was very good on Sunday and tidied my sewing room, so I thought it was a good opportunity to get a few photos before I mess it up again. The decision to tidy (instead of sew…) was motivated in part by my fabric stash overflowing its containers, and in part because of a lovely new addition that I wanted to find space for – a RAR rocking chair courtesy of Lakeland Furniture.
When we first moved into our house we furnished the spare bedroom as a guest room, but soon realised it would be better utilised as a sewing room. I share the room with our wardrobes / washing and ironing baskets / lots of books and comic boxes, but it's still lovely to have a room where I can leave my sewing supplies set up.
I have sewn with a Janome machine for years, a gift from my Mom and Dad as a teenager, but it recently stopped working. I was deciding what to replace it with (having borrowed my Mom's machine in the interim), when a family friend generously gave me a new-in-box Singer machine she wasn't using. So I'm currently using a Singer machine and serger. As you can see, my desk is a little small for two machines (plus sewing box, iron, and lamp!), but I squeeze both on.
My thread rack hangs from one side of the desk, and the desk drawer holds most supplies (buttons, zips, scissors, notepads, etc.).
Under the desk I have one tub of patterns, and one tub of UFOs. Keeping my pattern collection to one tub is challenging – although I do buy a lot of PDFs, otherwise it would be impossible. My fabric collection is housed elsewhere, in my bedroom, and I currently have it down to one tub and one tote containing lengths of fabric, and one tub of scraps which I can't bear to throw away. I'm going to try not to let it expand much beyond that – although an upcoming trip to New York could be a problem!
Previously the only seating in the room was a upright seat at the desk, which is perfect for sewing at the machine, but isn't very comfy for relaxing. The addition of the rocking chair means I now have a comfier seat where I can sit when I'm not working at one of the machines, to knit, hand sew or read. The rooms gets good light during the day so it is a nice place to sit and craft with a podcast or music playing.
The chair is a retro reproduction; the RAR rocking chair is one of a series of chairs designed by Ray and Charles Eames with a molded plastic seat (originally made from polyester and fibreglass). The chairs were originally entered in a 'Low-Cost Furniture Design' competition organised by MoMA in 1948, and are still being manufactured today.
The chair was sent to me flat packed (or as far as is possible for molded plastic), with the metal base as one solid piece (so four pieces in total, plus nuts and bolts). The chair is very lightweight, and assembly was quick and easy, although I did need to refer back to the image on the site to confirm which way 'round to attach the legs. If you love the Eames designs and don't want to spend a lot of money Lakeland offer very affordable reproductions, including the DAW and DAR designs (the non-rocking variations).
I chose the RAR in white, but it comes in various colours, and also looks very cool customised although I'm not going to risk taking a paintbrush to mine.

You got a free RAR rocking chair to review? Lucky you! Those are awesome. I'm impressed at your fabric restraint. I passed one tub of fabric ages ago. A few trips to NYC and the fashion district helped… That area is dangerous!
Lovely space. The sunlight coming in is great. And I love the chair!
How lovely that your spare room has a bay window – lush!
Oh dear now after the fabric, I have to add that chair to my desired items, at least the chair is available online. Awesome sewing rooms and such soothing colours!
Such a lovely space! There must be something in the air as I had a little tidy up over the weekend too.

Z6 «Теодор Рідель» () — військовий корабель, ескадрений міноносець типу 1934A Кріґсмаріне за часів Другої світової війни.

Есмінець Z6 «Теодор Рідель» був закладений 18 липня 1935 року на верфі DeSchiMAG у Бремені, 22 квітня 1936 року спущений на воду, а 2 липня 1937 року введений до складу військово-морських сил Третього Рейху.

Будова корабля

Дизайн та конструкція
Корпус Z6 «Теодор Рідель» мав загальну довжину між перпендикулярами — 119 м, бімс — 11,31 м та осадку до 4,23 м. Водотоннажність бойового корабля становила: стандартна — 2 171 та повна — 3 110 довгих тонн відповідно. По бортах і днищу з носа до корми йшли безперервні стрингери, з'єднані зі шпангоутами. Майже 2/5 займав півбак. Висота борту над водою по форштевню доходила до 5 метрів. Форштевень був практично вертикальним і тільки нагорі трохи закруглявся. Корма у есмінця була транцевою, закругленою з дуже характерним для німецьких міноносців тунельним підводним пристроєм. Товщина сталевих листів для обшивки корпусу корабля була від 6 до 11 мм, а палубна — до 13 мм. Для скріплення сталевих листів використовувалося зварювання, завдяки цьому Z6 «Теодор Рідель» був суцільнозварним.

Головна енергетична установка становила два триколекторні парових турбіни Wagner з горизонтальними пароперегрівниками й підігрівачами повітря, кожний приводив у дію один ґвинт. На есмінці встановлювалися шість котлів Benson у трьох котельних відділеннях — кормовому, носовому і середньому, які розташовувалися по бортах без поздовжньої перебірки. У носовому котельному відділенні були розміщені котли «малого» типу, які були меншого розміру і паропродуктивності. Робочий тиск пару — 70 атм., температура — 175 °С, і забезпечувала ефективність при повному навантаженні 78 %.

Проєктна потужність становила 69 000 к.с., що мало забезпечити максимальну швидкість ходу (при повному навантаженні) в 36,4 вузлів (68 км/год). Запас палива зберігався в паливних танках, ємністю 752 тонни мазуту, що забезпечувало дальність плавання 4 400 миль (8 100 км) 19-вузловим ходом (35 км/год). Ефективна дальність дії Z6 «Теодор Рідель» становила лише 1 530 миль (2 380 км) на цій швидкості.

Екіпаж корабля становив 10 офіцерів та 315 матросів.

Озброєння

Корабельна артилерія головного калібру (ГК) есмінця Z6 «Теодор Рідель»: п'ять 127-мм корабельних гармат SKC/34 компанії Rheinmetall-Borsig з довжиною ствола 45 калібрів у поодиноких штирових установках LC/34. Загальна маса установки становила 10 220 кг, з яких 1870 кг припадало на бронещит завтовшки 8 мм. Гарматні установки розташовувалися на кораблі лінійно. Дві перших гармати розміщувалися лінійно в носовій частині на узвишші. Третя — перед кормовою надбудовою. Дві останніх у кормовій частині есмінця також розміщувалися лінійно на узвишші. Кут обстрілу для гармат, що стояли по краях, становив 240 °, а для гармати № 3 — від 30 ° до 150 ° на кожен борт. Максимальний кут піднесення +30°, зниження на −10°. Маса снаряда 28 кг, початкова швидкість — 830 м/с, на дальність — до 17 400 м. Гармати мали швидкострільність 15-18 пострілів на хвилину. Боєзапас становив 120 пострілів на ствол (фактично вистачало на 7-10 хвилин бою).

Основу зенітного озброєння становили дві спарені 37-мм напівавтоматичні зенітні гармати SKC/30 з довжиною ствола 80 калібрів. Гармати в установках Dopp. LC/30 (Doppellafette С/30), стабілізовані в трьох площинах, розміщувалися на майданчиках біля другої димової труби. Теоретична швидкострільність досягала 80 пострілів на хвилину, але в реальних бойових умовах ледве досягала 30-40 пострілів на хвилину, а іноді ще й менше. Вертикальне наведення: -9 — +85°. Дальність стрільби — 8,5 км, досяжність повітряної цілі по висоті — 6 800 м.

Також на борту Z6 «Теодор Рідель» розміщувалися шість 20-мм автоматична зенітна гармата FlaK 30 C/30 з довжиною ствола 65 калібрів. Гармати розташовувалися парами на півбак з боків гармати головного калібру № 2, з боків шлюпочних кранів і на кормовій надбудові між гарматами № 3 і № 4. Скорострільність — 120 пострілів на хвилину. Однак магазин був всього на 20 пострілів, що вимагало його частої заміни. Живучість ствола досягала 20 тисяч пострілів.

Мінно-торпедне озброєння корабля складалося з двох чотиритрубних 533-мм торпедних апаратів. Для стрільби використовувалися тільки парогазові торпеди типу G7a із зарядом бойової частини — 340 кг ТГА. Дальність ходу торпеди на швидкості 44 вузли становила 6 000 м, на 40 вузлах — 8 000 м, на 30 вузлах — 14 000 м. Для постановки мін Z6 «Теодор Рідель» мав стаціонарні мінні шляхи, виконані зі сталі швелерного профілю і приварені до палубі електрозварюванням. Штатний боєкомплект становив 60 якірних мін (контактних EMC, магнітних EMF і RMB, протичовнових UMA і UMB) або 80-100 мінних захисників (RB і EMR).

Протичовнове озброєння есмінця складалося з двох типів глибинних бомб WBF і WBG. Боєзапас бомб становив 18 штук, з яких 6 зберігалися на кормових схилах, а решта — в льоху. Пізніше число бомб збільшили до 30-36, а у кормової надбудови стали монтувати по чотири бомбомети.

Для протимінного захисту корабель мав два комплекти параванів-захисників (OGG — ). Вони встановлювалися на спеціальний шпірон, що висувався через отвір у форштевні нижче ватерлінії. Ширина протраленої смуги становила 20-25 см.

Корабельна система керування артилерійським вогнем на есмінці включала два артилерійські пости, що розташовувалися на верхньому містку і середньої надбудові. У кожному з них були встановлені 4-метровий стереоскопічний далекомір і стабілізований у двох площинах візир. Система управління зенітним вогнем фактично була відсутня.

Управління торпедною стрільбою здійснювалося з торпедного поста, який знаходився поруч з артилерійським. На крилах містка були встановлені торпедні приціли типу TZA-2 зі стабілізованою оптикою.

Як гідроакустичний засіб на Z6 «Теодорі Рідель» встановлювалася шумопеленгаторна станція GHG (). За розрахунковими даними виявлення шуму торпед мало відбуватися на дистанції у 2000 метрів, а підводного човна — на дистанції 500—700 метрів.

Історія служби
Після завершення випробувань та прийняття на озброєння Крігсмаріне, Z6 «Теодор Рідель» взяв участь у військово-морських маневрах наприкінці 1937 року. 8 червня 1938 року під час навчання у складі 2-ї дивізії есмінців корабель сів на мілину поблизу острова Гельголанд. Удар сильно пошкодив дно, обидва гвинти і вибив портову турбіну. Корабель був відбуксируваний до Вільгельмсгафена для ремонту. Однак на верфі не змогли повноцінно відремонтувати фундаменти турбіни, і у нього залишалися проблеми з опорними підшипниками, доки у 1943 році на есмінець не встановили нову турбіну. У жовтні 1938 року «Теодор Рідель» супроводжував у поході до Середземного моря важкий крейсер «Адмірал граф Шпее», де вони відвідали Віго, Танжер та Сеуту, перш ніж повернутися додому. З лютого до серпня 1939 року есмінець тривало ремонтувався у Вільгельмсгафені.

З початком Другої світової війни Z6 «Теодор Рідель» разом з однотипними кораблями здійснювали постановку мінних полів у Німецькій бухті. У жовтні він патрулював Скагеррак з інспекційними перевірками нейтральних перевезень на наявність контрабанди. Згодом діяв у складі груп есмінців, що займалися постановкою мін біля британського узбережжя.

22 лютого Z6 «Теодор Рідель» та есмінці Z3 «Макс Шультц», Z-1 «Леберехт Маасс», Z4 «Ріхард Бітцен», Z13 «Еріх Келлнер» і Z16 «Фрідріх Еккольдт» вирушили до Доггер-банки для перехоплення британських риболовецьких суден в операції «Вікінгер». По дорозі флотилія була помилково атакована бомбардувальником Heinkel He 111 з 26-ї бомбардувальної ескадри. Z-1 «Леберехт Маасс» був уражений принаймні однією бомбою, втратив рульове управління і переламався навпіл, потонувши, втративши 280 людей екіпажу. Під час рятувальних зусиль Z3 «Макс Шультц» натрапив на міну і затонув з втратою всього свого екіпажу у 308 осіб. Гітлер наказав провести розслідування причин катастрофи, комісія дійшла висновку, що обидва кораблі були затоплені бомбами He 111. Командування Крігсмаріне не попередило свої есмінці про те, що Люфтваффе в той час проводить протикорабельне патрулювання, а також не повідомив Люфтваффе про те, що його есмінці перебуватимуть у морі в цьому районі. Післявоєнні дослідження довели, що один або обидва німецькі есмінці підірвалися на британських мінах, встановлених есмінцями «Айвенго» та «Інтрепід».

Норвезька кампанія
У контексті підготовки до операції «Везербюнг» «Теодор Рідель» включили до 2-ї групи, що діяла за планом вторгнення до Норвегії. Завданням групи було транспортувати 138-й гірсько-піхотний полк 3-ї гірсько-піхотної дивізії для захоплення Тронгейму разом з важким крейсером «Адмірал Гіппер». 6 квітня кораблі почали завантажувати війська, а наступного дня відплили. «Теодор Рідель» та Z8 «Бруно Гайнеманн» і Z5 «Пол Якобі» перевозили по одній роті гірських військ, яким було поставлено завдання захопити форти, що захищали вхід до Тронгейм-фіорду. Зважаючи на ефект раптовості проведення операції, німецькі кораблі змогли без особливих труднощів висадити свої війська, які швидко захопили форти. 10 квітня після відходу «Адмірала Гіппера» для захисту порту «Теодор Рідель» затягнули на піщану мілину, перетворивши на імпровізовану нерухому артилерійську та торпедну батарею.

Наступного дня німецькі сили, що закріпилися на норвезькому берегу, атакували дев'ять торпедоносців «Сордфіш» з авіаносця «Ф'юріос». Британські пілоти були дуже здивовані, побачивши, як торпеди спрацьовували, не досягаючи корабля, в результаті удару по піщаних мілинах. Через 10 днів, після успішного виконання завдання, німецький есмінець зняли з мілини та відбуксирували в Тронгейм для ремонту. Тут «Теодор Рідель» став першим німецьким есмінцем, на який був встановлений пошуковий радар FuMO 21. Паралельно один комплект торпедних апаратів був демонтований з корабля та переданий на сушу для посилення місцевої берегової оборони біля Агденесу. 7 червня робота була закінчена, і «Теодор Рідель» вирушив до Вільгельмсгавена на капітальний ремонт.

9 вересня есмінець вийшов у похід до французького Бреста, на нове місце базування. У ніч з 28 на 29 вересня корабель поставив мінне поле в затоці Фалмут, на якому в підсумку затонуло п'ять суден сумарною водотоннажністю 2026 GRT. 5 листопада 1940 року через постійні проблеми з одним з рушиїв есмінець повернувся до Вільгельмсгафена на ремонт, який тривав до 9 серпня. Через три дні після ремонту він вирушив до Норвегії, але наразився на необізнаний риф, унаслідок удару дно Z6 «Теодора Ріделя» було пробито у семи відсіках і обидва карданних вали заклинило. Корабель відбуксували до Бергена для тимчасового ремонту, а потім до Кіля, де ремонт тривав до 10 травня 1942 року.

11 червня «Теодор Рідель» вийшов до берегів Норвегії, де його включили до групи з чотирьох есмінців, призначених для супроводу лінкора «Тірпіц» в операції «Рессельшпрунг», спланованої Крігсмаріне атаки на арктичний конвой PQ 17. 2 липня кораблі відплили з Тронгейма, однак три есмінці з ескорту «Тірпіца», включаючи «Теодора Ріделя», в умовах темряви та сильного туману сіли на мілину і були змушені повернутися назад для ремонту. Зважаючи на факт, що важкий крейсер «Лютцов», також ж у цей день сів на мілину, незабаром після цього операція була скасована. «Теодор Рідель» був тимчасово відремонтований у Тронгеймі, а 25 липня був у черговий раз відправлений до Німеччини для серйозного ремонту.

Бій у Баренцевому морі

30 грудня 1942 року важкі крейсери «Лютцов» та «Адмірал Гіппер» у супроводі шести есмінців, у тому числі Z6 «Теодор Рідель», вийшли з Нарвіка для проведення операції «Регенбоген» — напад на конвой JW 51B, що за даними німецької розвідки йшов з Лох Ю до радянського Мурманськ й мав лише легкі сили ескорту. Для проведення операції виділялася оперативна група німецького флоту у складі важкого крейсера «Адмірал Гіппер», «кишенькового» лінкора «Лютцов» і шести есмінців. За планом віцеадмірала Оскара Кумметца німецькі сили ділилися навпіл: одне угруповання з крейсером «Адмірал Гіппер», есмінцями Z4 «Ріхард Бейтцен», Z16 «Фрідріх Еккольдт» та Z29 мало атакувати конвой з півночі, відволікаючи головні сили ескорту на себе. Потім друге угруповання — крейсер «Лютцов» та три есмінці — Z30, Z6 «Теодор Рідель» та Z31 — атакували б незахищені транспортні судна конвою з півдня.

Британський есмінець «Обд'юрет», виконуючи бойове завдання з супроводження, першим наразився на німецькі бойові кораблі. Незважаючи на довгий і наполегливий обстріл конвою, британці, не втративши жодного транспортного судна конвою, зуміли відбити атаку німців. У морському бою з боку британського флоту загинули ескадрений міноносець «Акейтіз» та тральщик «Бремблі». Німецький флот втратив есмінець Z16 «Фрідріх Еккольдт», який вогнем корабельних гармат знищили британські крейсери «Шеффілд» і «Джамайка», котрих німці в сутінках помилково прийняли за власні крейсери. Перш ніж німецькі капітани зрозуміли свою помилку, британці відкрили по ним щільний вогонь. «Фрідріх Еккольдт», що йшов першим, отримав влучення у центр корпусу і затонув менш, ніж за дві хвилини; на ньому загинув весь екіпаж у 340 або 341 особу. Z4 «Ріхард Бейтцен» вислизнув без пошкоджень. Ця сутичка відвернула британські крейсери і вони втратили контакт з крейсером «Адмірал Гіппер», який повним ходом йшов на схід.

На початку лютого 1943 року «Теодор Рідель» супроводжував мінний загороджувач «Бруммер», коли той ставив мінне поле поблизу острова Кильдин у Баренцовому морі. Наступного місяця він з Z5 «Пол Якобі» та Z20 «Карл Гальстер» вийшов на острів Ян-Маєн, де 31 березня мав зустрінутися з проривачем блокади «Регенсбургом». Німецькі есмінці шукали його кілька днів, перш ніж через суворі погодні умови не були змушені повернутися до порту. Але німецьке командування не знало, що напередодні 30 березня, «Регенсбург» був перехоплений і потоплений британським крейсером «Глазго».

У вересні корабель брав участь в операції «Цитронелла», доставивши війська 349-го гренадерського полку 230-ї піхотної дивізії для знищення норвезьких об'єктів на острові Шпіцберген разом з лінкорами «Тірпіцем» та «Шарнгорст» у супроводі восьми інших есмінців.

«Теодор Рідель» супроводжував конвої в Скагерраку та його околицях, поки на початку грудня не повернувся до Німеччини для нового капітального ремонту.

Після того, як капітальний ремонт був завершений у червні 1944 року, есмінець повернувся до виконання своїх обов'язків у Скагерраку, хоча ремонт, необхідний після чергової пожежі у котельні в серпні, вимагав тривалого ремонту в Осло. 18 листопада 1944 року корабель у черговий раз зазнав аварію, цього разу він наразився на мол у данському Фредеріксгавні. Лише 7 січня 1945 року він повернувся до строю. «Теодор Рідель» залишався у Південній Норвегії та Данії, поки його не відправили до Балтійського моря для допомоги в евакуації військ та населення з півострову Гель. 5 травня, розвантаживши біженців у Копенгагені, він здійснив черговий похід до Гелі і 7 травня повернувся до Копенгагена. Через три дні екіпаж здався союзникам у Кілі.

Післявоєнний час
Корабель, нині під британським командуванням з членами німецького екіпажу на борту, був капітально відремонтований у Вільгельмсгафені у червні 1945 року, поки визначалася його подальша доля. Наприкінці 1945 року есмінець спочатку відправили до Великої Британії, а в середині січня наступного року він вийшов до Росайта. Тим часом, через протести Франції їй передали «Теодора Ріделя» та ще три есмінці. 4 лютого 1946 року кораблі були офіційно передані в Шербурі і Z6 «Теодор Рідель» перейменований на «Клебер» на честь французького генерала Жана-Батиста Клебера.

31 серпня-10 вересня «Клебер» пройшов невеликий ремонт, а потім у період з 28 жовтня по 21 грудня здійснив навчальний похід до Бордо. 31 жовтня під час цього плавання він врятував екіпаж вугільника SS France-Hélène. У 1947 році корабель був зарахований до 1-ї дивізії великих есмінців і отримав номер вимпела T03. В кінці того ж року есмінець супроводжував французький підводний човен «Доріс» до Лондондеррі, повернувшись до Шербура 25 листопада.

«Клебер» був реконструйований у 1948-51 рр. У ході проведених робіт його міст був розширений, оригінальну легку зенітну зброю замінили на шість поодиноких 40-міліметрових гармат «Бофорс», п'яту 127-мм гармату демонтували, а також встановили американські радари.

20 грудня французький есмінець вийшов у похід з Шербура на свою нову базу в Тулоні, до складу 3-ї дивізії есмінців Середземноморського флоту. Протягом наступних двох років корабель здійснював численні походи у Середземному морі, відвідував порти Французької Північної Африки. У жовтні 1953 року «Клебер» повернули до Шербура, а 20 грудня вивели до резерву. 1957 році стан корабля пройшов оцінку, за висновками якої його корпус виявився в дуже поганому стані. 10 квітня колишній німецький есмінець вивели з бойового складу французького флоту, а наступного року його розібрали на брухт у Руані.

1997. Robert Southey to John Murray, 13 December 1811 *
Keswick Dec. 13. 1811.
My dear Sir
Thank you for that beautiful volume upon Iceland. [1] It arrived on Wednesday, & the larger parcel has made its appearance this evening. You can never send me too many books upon any subject on which I am to write, respecting the Poor however, it seems that you have been forming one plan & I another. My original intention was to take the Reports of the Bettering Society for the text, & show what actually had been done & was doing towards lessening the evils of humanity in this country. – a set off on the part of the true reformers against those who ought to be called reformists. The subject is certainly, as you have felt it to be, materially connected with the general state of the Poor, – but I am inclined to think it may be better to treat it distinctly, & form two essays. [2] This however I shall see by the time I have gone thro Sir F. M. Edens work. [3]
Respecting school-books, – for those which are merely initiatory, not a thought concerning them ever past across my mind, – but I have thought of a work, & talked about it with Dr Bell & the Bishop of Meath, [4] which if it were executed according to my second sight, might bid fair for admission into schools. The plan is this, to describe first the religions of our British, Roman & Saxon ancestors, & the consequences resulting from their respective systems, – being the <temporal> evils from which our conversion to Christianity redeemed us. 2d. a view of Popery with its consequences, – from which the Reformation delivered us. 3dly. a picture of Puritanism rampant from which the re-establishment of the Church rescued us. 4th. a picture of Methodism, from which the Church protects us. Summing up the whole with an account of what the Church is, how it acts upon us, & how inseparably it is connected with the best interests of the country. [5] – The whole to form one little volume, the shorter the better, perfectly clear to a childs capacity, that is a child of 12 or 14 years of age, – but as satisfactory as I could make it to minds perfectly mature; – & to be carried home to the heart by biographical sketches, – for which I suppose this Book of Martyrs [6] has been sent me as materials.
There might be a companion work upon our civil history, – the one might be called the Book of the Church, the other the Book of the Constitution. [7] Two such books if they could pu be put into the hands of the rising generation, would go far towards inspiring that ardent & devoted patriotism of which the ancients had so much, & we have so little, – because no means are taken to create it. I hardly know any thing of more importance than to impress upon the heart as well as the understandings of the people this knowledge of what we have been, & what we are.
These works ought not to employ much time, but I much doubt whether I could find time for them, – for I have an over love of research, – of reading every thing which relates to the subject before me: & for every work great or little which I have executed, I have always laid in xx a great superabundance of materials. – It has often happened <to me> to spend hours in acquiring knowledge, – the whole apparent pursuit of which has been a single line – or even a single epithet.
I am finishing off the Dragon, with I hope a blow as fatal as Moore of Moore-Halls xxx well-placed kick proved to the Dragon of Wantley. [8] You will convey the proofs to Dr B. that we may be sure no error in points of fact or date may escape me.
believe me my dear Sir

Dean dismantles Marketing Department
Columbia's Marketing Communication Department will be disbanded next semester, and the Journalism and Arts, Entertainment & Media Management departments will absorb its programs.
The three concentrations currently housed in Marketing Communication are advertising, marketing and public relations. Advertising and public relations will be offered as majors in a new department that will also include the Journalism Department, according to a Feb. 14 announcement from Robin Bargar, dean of the School of Media Arts. The AEMM Department will absorb the marketing program as a new major.
Students currently enrolled in the Marketing Communication program will not be affected by the change.
Depending on their year in school, students who are already enrolled in the program will have the option of switching their major or retaining their current major and concentration, said Mirella Shannon, associate dean of the School of Media Arts and associate professor in the Interactive Arts & Media Department.
Bargar said in the email that the move will not alter the path to graduation but rather give students an opportunity to collaborate.
Students will be able to voice opinions and concerns at open forums Feb. 24–27 in the Marketing Communications Office in the South Campus Building, 624 S. Michigan Ave.
"[Offering three new degrees] was just to make the degrees more [clear]," Bargar said in an Feb. 14 interview with The Chronicle. "This is a good opportunity for students, but it's separate from this restructuring."
A team of faculty members will decide how to integrate the new majors and their resources, Bargar said. Journalism Department Chair Nancy Day said journalism is often separated from advertising and public relations professionally because their objectives are different.
Academically, other institutions have kept these programs close together, but it is important to maintain the boundaries between journalism, public relations and advertising programs once the departments merge, Day said. Though the skill sets are similar, the mission of each field is distinct.
"The boundaries between these disciplines … are important to maintain because we have different audiences and different missions, and that's why the curriculum in each of our disciplines will stay separate," Day said.
But the boundaries dividing these fields are not so firm once students get jobs, she said, adding that graduate journalism students sometimes enter public relations after graduating.
The faculty will assist the dean in finding a chair who will oversee the journalism, public relations and advertising majors, Shannon said. The faculty will write a job description detailing the role of the future chair of the department, Shannon said.
"We're trying to [assemble the faculty team] very rapidly," Shannon said. "We need to find a better way of creating innovative programs and the task force will help us do that."
Shannon said she hopes the redistribution will strengthen all the departments and attract more students. The Marketing Communication Department lost 54 students this spring compared to the spring 2013 semester, according to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness' 2014 Census Enrollment Report. The Journalism Department lost 81 students and AEMM lost 23 students, according to the report.
According to Shannon, the Marketing Communication Department chose to merge the marketing program with the AEMM Department because they share common elements. The advertising, public relations and journalism programs are merging because they each focus on communication. Although their audiences are different, the three programs have overlapping skill sets, she added.
"[The advertising, public relations and journalism programs] are all crafting communications in one form or another … all of them have to have their distribution channels [and] shared resources," Shannon said.
Strazewski said his concern about merging journalism, public relations and advertising is making sure students retain access to the department's technology. The department has begun teaching multimedia courses, so students need to use multimedia reporting equipment, he said. Aligning the three programs will require more faculty input, but doing so could provide students with the skills they need, Strazewski said.
"We want to look at the curriculum in terms of broadening the skill sets that students are receiving … it's pretty clear now that the number of traditional journalism jobs—we're not seeing that anymore," Strazewski said.
Anthony Filomena, a senior marketing communication major with a concentration in public relations, said merging with Journalism Department could provide students with strong writing skills for jobs, but the administration should have asked students' input.
"A forum like that should have been held before the decision was made to at least include the students' [opinions]," Filomena said. "They're giving the opportunity for current students to keep the marketing communication title, but the 2014 [students] don't have that option."

Three days of Parkour in a row on this blog of mine. Guess what, we're not going to make it four.
HOWEVER, since it's already Winter Sports Season in Denver (I hit my first day on the slopes snowboarding last Saturday), I miss the sun and the heat already! Sure, I love the snow and winter sports, but every once and a while I wish I could just drive to the beach and get my sun on.
Having grown up going to Brasil every year to visit my family, SURFING has been a big part of my life, too. It's crazy to think that I've been a fan of surfing LEGEND Kelly Slater for almost my entire, but it's true. Check out the video below.
At almost 40 years old, he's still dominating the wave and winning competitions. If you've ever surfed before, look at the stuff this guy does and enjoy it.
If you've NEVER surfed before, know that Kelly Slater is the truth.

Subdural collections caused by Salmonella infection are rarely encountered in children. We present two cases caused by non-typhi Salmonella, one a four-and-a-half-month-old boy presenting with subdural effusion, and the other, a 16-month-old boy with empyema. The diagnosis was confirmed on blood and subdural pus cultures. One patient had status epilepticus following focal fit, and the other had prolonged fever without any localising signs of infection on admission. They responded well to prompt surgical drainage and prolonged systemic antibiotic therapy. Contrary to previous reports, both patients showed favourable outcome in terms of neurological sequelae.
J. Obstet. Gynaecol. Res., 2007 Apr;33(2):195-8.
We report the case of a 25-year-old Malay woman, admitted for preterm delivery at 35 weeks' gestation. Vaginal swab did not isolate any organism. She delivered a baby girl who developed respiratory distress syndrome, requiring ventilation. Although chest radiograph showed hyaline membrane disease with pneumonia, septic workout was negative. The mother was discharged on the next day. Seven days postpartum, the mother presented with fever and fits and was diagnosed to have meningo-encephalitis. Lumbar puncture isolated group B Streptococcus (GBS) and MRI revealed a superior cerebellar abscess. She was treated and survived the episode. This case illustrates the uncommon situation where GBS infection was confirmed via maternal septic workout rather than neonatal, although both presented with severe disease.
Malays J Pathol, 2004 Jun;26(1):49-52.
A 2-year-old boy with underlying congenital cyanotic heart disease presented with seizures and fever and was found to have bilateral parietal cerebral abscesses. Drainage of the pus from the abscesses was done in stages; on the day of admission, four days after admission and 3 weeks after admission. Although the pus from the first drainage did not grow any organisms, the pus from the second drainage on the fourth day of admission yielded a mixed growth of Eikenella corrodens and Streptococcus milleri. Following the second drainage of pus, the child was noted to have mild weakness (grade 3/5) and increased tone in the left upper limb. Three weeks after admission, due to recurring fever, further neurological signs and findings of an enlarging right cerebral abscess on a repeat CT scan, a third drainage was carried out. However no growth was obtained from this specimen. This patient was managed both surgically and with appropriate antibiotics. Over the next four months, serial CT scans revealed gradual resolution of the abscesses with disappearance of the surrounding oedema. The child showed gradual recovery of his left sided weakness with resolution of tone and reflexes to normal.
Micrococcus spp. are commensal organisms colonizing the body surfaces of humans. In a few instances these organisms have been reported to colonize ventricular shunts. We report a patient, with no overt evidence of immunosuppression, in whom Micrococcus luteus was responsible for intracranial suppuration at multiple sites.
Trans. R. Soc. Trop. Med. Hyg., 1990 Jul-Aug;84(4):589-92.
31 cases of intracranial abscess seen over a period of 10 years showed a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life with a male preponderance. Tetralogy of Fallot and other congenital cyanotic heart diseases were the predominant associated factors (32%). The commonest site of infection was the frontal lobe. Gram-stained smears of pus proved to be extremely useful. The majority of the organisms (82%) were either microaerophilic or anaerobic bacteria with Streptococcus milleri being the most frequent isolate. With the exception of Corynebacterium species, all isolates were susceptible to penicillin or chloramphenicol, most being susceptible to both.
J Trop Med Hyg, 1993 Jun;96(3):191-6.
A prospective study was carried out to determine the aetiology of cerebral abscess in relation to the primary source of infections. Seventy-five patients with cerebral abscess were included in the study in the period January 1985 to December 1988. More than half of the patients studied had single lesions and the overall most common sites were in the frontal and parietal regions. Chronic suppurative otitis media, cyanotic congenital heart diseases and meningitis were among the important predisposing conditions in these patients. Approximately 25% of the patients with cerebral abscesses had no documented antecedent infections. Pure cultures were found to be predominant (66.7%) and sterile cultures were obtained from 10 (13.3%) patients. Streptococci were isolated from 23 (30.7%) patients, the commonest species being Streptococcus milleri. Proteus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putrifaciens and Bacteroides sp were almost exclusively found in cerebral abscesses secondary to chronic suppurative otitis media; these organisms were found in mixed cultures. Streptococcus milleri, Bacteroides sp and Eikenella corrodens were found in pure cultures in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease. In patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts in-situ, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and diphtheroids were common. Anaerobes were found in 15 (20.0%) patients, the majority in mixed cultures. Culture, as well as gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of volatile fatty acids of cerebral pus, was carried out to enhance the detection of the anaerobes. Based on these findings, an antibiotic regimen consisting of penicillin, chloramphenicol and metronidazole is recommended as an initial therapy while awaiting culture and sensitivity results.
J Clin Neurosci, 2007 Dec;14(12):1213-5.
Burkholderia pseudomallei infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is rare with less than 50 cases reported over the last 30 years. The retrospective melioidosis study at University Malaya Medical Centre has documented three cases of CNS melioidosis out of more than 160 cases of melioidosis since 1978. There were two patients with brain abscess and one with spinal epidural abscess. The predisposing factors were: one patient was an aboriginal farmer and the other two were diabetic. Their age ranged from 17 to 45 years. Prominent neurological features were limb weakness, cranial nerve palsy (6th and 7th) and visual disturbance. CT brain scan and MRI spine showed abscess formation, subdural collection, and spinal epidural collection, osteomyelitis of vertebra and occipital bone and also sagital sinus thrombosis. All these patients underwent surgical drainage leading to bacteriological diagnosis as well as appropriate long-term antibiotic therapy. All had good recovery at 6 months after completion of treatment.

The Battle of Nebi Samwil, (17–24 November 1917), was fought during the decisive British Empire victory at the Battle of Jerusalem between the forces of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force and the Ottoman Empire's Yildirim Army Group during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, in the First World War. The Battle of Jerusalem began two days after the end of the decisive EEF victory at the Battle of Mughar Ridge which occurred after the EEF defeated the Ottoman Army at the decisive victory at the Battle of Beersheba and Third Battle of Gaza.

The battle was the first attempt by the forces of the British Empire to capture Jerusalem. The village of Nebi Samwil (now spelled Nabi Samwil), also known as the "Tomb of Samuel", was part of the Ottoman defences in front of Jerusalem and its capture was considered vital to the eventual capture of the city. The British attacking force consisted of three divisions, two infantry and one mounted.

The village was captured by the 234th Brigade, part of the 75th Division, on 21 November 1917. However they still had to defend it against Ottoman counter-attacks almost every day. Unsupported by their heavy weapons the British infantry could not break through the main Ottoman defensive line and the attack failed to reach its objective Jerusalem.

Background
In November 1917, the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force, commanded by General Edmund Allenby had defeated the forces of the Ottoman Empire in the Third Battle of Gaza and the Battle of Mughar Ridge. Pursuing the withdrawing Ottoman army the 75th Division captured Junction Station on 14 November. The capture of the station cut the railway line from Jerusalem and the rest of the country and provided the British forces with a fresh water source. It also split the Ottoman Seventh and Eighth Army. The following day the ANZAC Mounted Division captured Ramleh and Ludd,  north of the station and on the Mediterranean coast, then on 16 November the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade captured the port of Jaffa. In the ten days since the Battle of Gaza the British had advanced some , but at the cost of 6,000 casualties. The numbers of the Ottoman forces killed is not known but 10,000 men had been captured by the British along with eighty pieces of artillery and  100 machine guns. Despite these losses the majority of the Ottoman armies had managed to withdraw relativity in one piece, but they had been split with no way for one to support the other if or when they were attacked. Further the Ottoman Seventh Army on the British right was cut off from the Palestinian rail network and all their supplies would have to be brought in by road.

In preparation for the attack, against Jerusalem, the ANZAC Mounted Division and the 54th (East Anglian) Division, would form a defensive line on the coastal plain, while the XXI Corps moved into the Judaean Mountains. Instead of a direct assault on Jerusalem, Allenby planned to first cut off the city from their supply routes in the north. The plan was for two infantry division, the 75th Division on the left, the  52nd (Lowland) Division in the centre, with the horsemen from the Yeomanry Mounted Division on the right, to move on Jerusalem with the 75th using the main Jaffa–Jerusalem road. The two outer division's would circle around Jerusalem meeting at Bireh  to the north of the city.

In the way of the 75th Division was the village of Nebi Samwil also known as the "Tomb of Samuel", the traditional burial site for the biblical prophet Samuel. Nebi Samwil rests at the top of a hill  above sea level,  to the north of Jerusalem. From the village observers can see into Jerusalem and it controls the road from the coast to the west and the road from Samaria to the north into the city. The village was part of the Ottoman defences in front of Jerusalem and its capture was considered vital, to the eventual capture of the city.

Attack

The attack began on 18 November, with the Australian Mounted Division clearing Latron, which was in the way of the 75th Division. The next day the Yeomanry Mounted Division with the furthest to go moved off first. Followed by the 52nd (Lowland) Division which departed from Ludd and the 75th Division from Latron. The two other divisions travelling astride nothing more than tracks, found it more difficult and their vehicles and heavy weapons had to turn back. The advance also coincided with the start of the winter rains, which not only affected the terrain, but also caused problems for the troops, who were only equipped for a desert war and lacked any winter clothing. However, the 52nd Division did reach Beit Likia and the Yeomanry Division Beit Ur el Tahta by the end of the first day. The 75th, advancing along the only real road in the area, made good progress, fighting through the Ottoman hilltop defences, secured the villages of Saris and Kuryet el Enab on 20 November. The first village in the afternoon, the second before nightfall, in an infantry assault under cover of a thick belt of fog, which obscured the defenders vision. They had however only come up against rearguard positions and still had to face the main Ottoman force.

Elsewhere the 52nd Division were making some progress but the yeomanry were confronted by a strong position of 3,000 infantry supported by artillery on the Zeitun ridge west of Bireh. During a back and forwards battle the yeomanry did at one stage capture the position, but were forced back again on 21 November.

On the same day, the 75th Division changed the direction of the attack north-east towards Biteh, to meet up with the mounted division. The division was stopped at Biddu, and the heights of Nebi Samwil. Fighting through the day, the village was eventually taken by the 234th Brigade that evening. However the two infantry divisions were now bogged down and no further progress could be made.

The British attack continued on the next day, 22 November, against El Jib. However both infantry divisions were now in need of reinforcements, and unsupported by artillery, which could not get up the mountain tracks. Fighting for three days, but unable to break through the main Ottoman defensive position, the attack stalled. For the next two weeks, the Ottoman army tried to retake Nebi Samwil.  The British captured 750 prisoners during the period. The heavy casualties they sustained during the attempt seriously affected their ability to stop the next British attempt to take Jerusalem.

Considering the heavy casualties which had been sustained by his command, General Bulfin requested that XX Corps take over the line and by 28 November the relief of the various of XXI Corps positions was completed. In obtaining a footing on some of the most difficult hills on the Judean heights, the efforts of the 52nd and 75th divisions enabled General Allenby to initiate a new plan to capture Jerusalem so they share the honour with the 53rd, 60th (who were already attached to the XX Corps at Latrun) and 75th Divisions, as well the Yeoman Mounted division, which were present at the finish.

Aftermath

The British first attempt to take Jerusalem, stalled for the lack of artillery support, the need for fresh troops and not least the weather condition and the strong Ottoman defence.

In the lull before their next attack the British used the opportunity to improve the roads and tracks in the area, in order to bring forward their heavy artillery and ammunition, water and other supplies. Allenby also decided to relieve XXI Corps with XX Corps which had had a quieter time on the coastal plain.

The Ottoman Army, however, did not sit back and conducted several attacks against the British forces at the end of November and beginning of December using tactics similar to those that would be used by the Germans in their Spring Offensive on the Western Front in March 1918. British reinforcement arrived which stemmed the Ottoman assault and they went over to the attack themselves on 7 December. The Ottoman force left Jerusalem over the night of 8/9 December and the civic authorities handed over the city to the British.

For their part in the battle the 75th Division divisional insignia became a key, representing that the battle was the key to the capture of Jerusalem. In recognition for their part in the battle, the British Empire regiments involved were awarded the battle honour Nebi Samwil.

Physicians Are Facing a Crisis (12:01)
"I'm 45 years old, and I can't do this anymore. I am just exhausted."
It was the beginning of Steven Strongwater's tenure as President and CEO of Atrius Health, and a group of physicians were taking turns introducing themselves. One of the physicians told the group that her father was a general practitioner well into his late 70s — but she did not see herself following in his footsteps.
"As I looked around the room, what was so frightening to me was that every other head, every other primary care doc in that room, was nodding their head in agreement," says Strongwater. "That's the story that we are facing, and the problem that's facing our country, and it is increasingly getting worse."
As I looked around the room, what was so frightening to me was that every other head, every other primary care doc in that room, was nodding their head in agreement."
Strongwater was thrilled to learn of a burnout prevention model now being more broadly adopted that emphasizes a culture of wellness, efficiency of practice, and the need for personal resilience. But, while the components of the model are good, Strongwater argues that the pie shape is off. "What's principally driving burnout in our country is the efficiency of practice — it's the work, it's the workflow, it's the demands we've put on the plates of so many clinicians," he says.
In a graph displaying different types of clinician work on the electronic medical record (EMR), the baseline, time, shows that the clinician's workday starts at 4 a.m. — and ends at 9 p.m.
"Imagine doing that every single day for 10 years, 15 years, 20 years. I would argue that our primary care docs are incredibly resilient," says Strongwater.
What's principally driving burnout in our country is the efficiency of practice — it's the work, it's the workflow, it's the demands we've put on the plates of so many clinicians."
Employment status has changed, Strongwater adds. In Massachusetts, 85% of physicians are employed by large organizations, according to Strongwater. Across the U.S., more than half of physicians are employees, and some work for nontraditional medical employers such as insurers and payers. One might assume that more deeply financed organizations could improve the practice environment, but that's not true. The Massachusetts Medical Society tracks a Physician Practice Environment Index. In the 1990s, that score was about 100; today, it's about 70. "Things have not gotten better," says Strongwater. "Indeed, they have gotten worse."
In his book Drive, Daniel Pink says that professional satisfaction is driven by three things: purpose, autonomy, and mastery. Primary care doctors are certainly purposeful, notes Strongwater. "But we have forced them to make a trade: clicks before care. We have forced them to stare at computer screens and not into the eyes of their patients. We have disrupted that patient-physician bond." With the majority of U.S. physicians as employees, they give up some autonomy in decision-making. As for mastery, physicians are facing a crisis, argues Strongwater. "We look on our cell phones and have such incredible ease of use, and then we look at our electronic medical record screen and we are searching and clicking, and the tools are not quite as sharp, yet, as they need to be."
We have forced them to make a trade: clicks before care. We have forced them to stare at computer screens and not into the eyes of their patients. We have disrupted that patient-physician bond."
Few individual physicians can actually impact the current state, because they are employees. But they can go to their leadership. "This is a leadership demand," says Strongwater. "There's a leadership opportunity to step in and recognize that burnout is an issue, an important issue, and to help make investments that are appropriate in order to make change happen." Having conversations on burnout is a step in the right direction, but to make any progress, leadership needs to walk away from those conversations committed to finding solutions and report regularly on burnout to their boards.
What can leaders do to reduce EMR time? Strongwater describes several approaches:
IT bundle. To help physicians reduce their after-hours EMR time, the Atrius IT team created a five-component bundle that they anticipate will reduce between 1 million and 1.5 million clicks.
PAYGO. In PAYGO, if you want something that costs money, you must offset it with something else. So if you want more EMR clicks, you have to take something else away.
Streamlined forms. Leaders, at the negotiation table, can weed away unnecessary utilization requirements and pre-approval forms that are a waste of time.
Scribes. "There are some things that are, quite honestly, below the top of the physician's license, and we should fix that," says Strongwater, by hiring scribes.
Empathy training. "After 2 hours of interdisciplinary empathy training, our patient satisfaction scores went up dramatically," Strongwater says.
On the harder side, Strongwater encourages all of us to demand that EMR user interfaces become as good and facile to use as smartphones and tablets.
This is a leadership demand. There's a leadership opportunity to step in and recognize that burnout is an issue, an important issue, and to help make investments that are appropriate in order to make change happen."
"Our primary care physicians are not whining millennials; they really are working very, very hard. And we should thank them, because we're going to need them, especially as all of us get older," says Strongwater. "We need to ask our leaders and help the leaders see that this is an important opportunity for them. And I know they can make a difference. We have solved so many complex problems. This just has to become a priority."

Very true; EMR is reducing physicians to desk clerks and its going to be worse for physicians who work in different hospitals with different EMR systems. Scribes are not the answer. Entire EMR system needs a major revamping. Why charting? What is its main purpose? Is this for some arm chair researcher/gate keepers to crunch data and come up with odd findings? Or is it to improve the patient care? We cannot solve this problem until we address this basic question.

The blended approach may be helpful as we utilize voice recognition with natural speech processing. The employed provider can utilize voice recognition much faster to increase efficiency, and increase more face to face time. I now dictate with the patient in the room.
They become involved in the accuracy and contribute their social determinants and behavioral challenges.The voice is then in the cloud and transcribed onto the EHR in 3-5 minutes. Patients prefer the privacy rather than a third party (scribee) in the room. one can dictate 150 words per minute: much faster than typing.

Remembering One Another's Inhumanity: On Viet Thanh Nguyen's Vietnam War
Posted on January 16, 2018 Leave a comment →
This review of Viet Thanh Nguyen's Nothing Ever Dies and The Sympathizer by Judy Tzu-Chun Wu was featured in Volume 52, Issue 1 of the Journal of American Studies.
"All wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory" (Nothing Ever Dies, 4). Viet Thanh Nguyen, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, begins his 2016 treatise on war and memory with these words. In the deftly named Nothing Ever Dies, Nguyen identifies the excesses of war in general and most notably the excess of the war named the Vietnam War in the US and the American War in Vietnam. There was excessive violence on the battlefields, which ranged throughout Southeast Asia, exceeding the national borders identified by the naming of the war. The experience of war and the meaning of war also exceeded the official dates of the war, chronologized differently by different historical actors but nevertheless used to conveniently bound war in time. Disregarding these official dates, the perpetrators, survivors, and witnesses of war (Nguyen points out that one can belong to more than one of these categories simultaneously) carry with them the memories and violence of war. They relive and reinterpret the war, fighting it again a second time through memory and memorialization.
This insight that "nothing ever dies" is also at the heart of The Sympathizer, Nguyen's justly feted novel. Narrated as a confession to the Communist authorities, the novel reveals the experiences and insights of a Communist secret agent who infiltrated the anticommunist ranks. Most of the novel takes place after the fall of Saigon in April 1975, as the protagonist/antihero shares the collective experiences of Vietnamese refugees who flee to the US, experience the daily humiliations of losing one's country and performing gratitude to a society that both betrayed and rescued them, and aspire to launch a counterrevolution to reclaim their homelands. In this novel, the violence and trauma of war do not die. They are perpetuated by powerful white American male academics, politicians, and moviemakers; by Vietnamese refugee leaders in the US who use intimidation and assassination to control their community politically and seek a different outcome of war; and by the new socialist Vietnamese government who utilize torture to "reeducate" those who oppose them.
Published a year apart, The Sympathizer and Nothing Ever Dies share similarities of insight. In Nothing Ever Dies, Nguyen calls for an ethics that move beyond remembering one's own humanity and the humanity of others. Instead, he insists upon the importance of recognizing and remembering one another's inhumanity, of our collective capacity to commit acts of atrocity. The Sympathizer displays this capacity for inhumanity through the array of people the protagonist encounters, as well as through the protagonist himself. He is intelligent, insightful, satirical, capable of deep friendships and emotional attachment, yet also guilty of heinous acts and willing to stand by as he witnesses torture and rape. Nguyen has shared that it was through the process of writing the novel, through the act of empathizing with unsympathetic others, that he was able to develop a new theoretical understanding of war and ethics, the need to recognize not just one another's humanity but our collective inhumanity.
The difficulty of ethical recognition is compounded by the profoundly uneven ability to create memories and understandings of war. In Nothing Ever Dies, Nguyen critiques the industry of memory, "the material and ideological forces that determine how and why memories are produced and circulated, and who has access to, and control of, the memory industries" (107). Even though the US "lost" the Vietnam War, it has won the battle of memory through the power of cultural production. No other country in the world and no racialized community in the US can match the cultural capacity of the American movie industry, a key component of the industry of memory.
This differential ability to represent the war is illustrated in The Sympathizer. The antihero seeks to change the role of Vietnamese extras for a Hollywood spectacle of the war. In his conversation with "the Auteur," the protagonist points out,
The lack of speaking parts for Vietnamese people in a movie set in Vietnam might be interpreted as cultural insensitivity … It would be a little more believable, a little more realistic, a little more authentic, for a movie set in a certain country for the people in that country to have something to say, instead of having your screenplay direct, as it does now, Cut to villagers speaking in their own language? Do you think it might not be decent to let them actually say something instead of simply acknowledging that there is some kind of sound coming from their mouths? Could you not even just have them speak a heavily accented English – you know what I mean, ching-chong English – just to pretend they are speaking in an Asian language that somehow American audiences can strangely understand? (132)
As Nguyen points out in the acknowledgments of the novel, "the inspiration for the Movie can hardly be a secret" (384). Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979), now the basis of a recently released video game, and other US movies about the Vietnam War focus on the white American male tragedy of war. The Vietnamese are at best inarticulate or heavily accented villains or victims to be killed or rescued or to be rescued by killing them. In fact, during the filming of Apocalypse Now in the Philippines, Coppola cast Vietnamese refugees living in refugee camps, paying them meager sums to portray the bombed, the victimized, and the villains. Some refugees even assumed the roles of Viet Cong villains, the people they fought against during the war. As both Nothing Ever Dies and The Sympathizer point out, the industry of memory perpetuates the violence of war through both the representation and the production of war memories.
How, then, can works like Nguyen's help us tell "true" war stories? To tell the history and memory of the war through multiple viewpoints and voices? To humanize and to present the inhumane? In Nothing Ever Dies, Nguyen travels broadly, both physically and intellectually. He visits gravesites and memorials in Vietnam and the US. He contemplates the experience of torture and the relationship between torturers and the tortured in death camps in Cambodia. He analyzes cinematic representations of the Vietnam War in the US and South Korea (described as a subempire of the US empire). In other words, Nguyen offers an expansive exploration of the politics of war and memory to capture the geographical and chronological excess of the "Vietnam" war.
Nguyen also discusses the aesthetics and ethics of authors who write about war. As he points out, in the industry of memory, minority authors – those from marginalized communities – are expected to "translate" their people's experiences to a majority audience who can assume their own humanity and universality but need stories about "others" in order to recognize the humanity of the marginalized. Nguyen has achieved tremendous success winning the Pulitzer for the New York Times best seller The Sympathizer and receiving the honor of being named a National Book Award finalist for Nothing Ever Dies. However, Nguyen also seeks to challenge the power dynamic of being a native informant. As he points out, the constructed audience for The Sympathizer was an unnamed and faceless Communist authority figure. The novel is a story told by a Vietnamese diasporic spy to a Vietnamese in Vietnam. It offers a profoundly scathing yet sympathetic critique both of the Vietnamese refugee community in the US and of American society itself. Through an act of confession, of translating what the protagonist/antihero has experienced in the US and in the old and new Vietnam to a presumed Vietnamese audience in Vietnam, Nguyen has the ability to "hold everyone accountable" (The Sympathizer, 395). He can expose the humanity and inhumanity of dominant Americans, Vietnamese refugees, and socialist Vietnamese revolutionaries and bureaucrats. The English-reading US audience, not explicitly named as the audience but intended as such, has made The Sympathizer a triumph. The novel is slated to be translated and published in Vietnam. It will be interesting to learn how the named audience for the book, as well as members of the South Vietnamese community who read more fluently in Vietnamese, will react to Nguyen's work.
Nothing Ever Dies and The Sympathizer are both extraordinary works of art. The prose in each, although different in voice and tone, is exquisite. Nguyen excels at framing complex ideas and experiences in concise, poetic language that is both scathing and funny, tragic and ironic. Although a work of nonfiction, Nothing Ever Dies also presents us with a protagonist, the autobiographical experiences and ideas of Viet Thanh Nguyen himself. The protagonist in The Sympathizer is explicitly not autobiographical, but Nguyen's experiences as a Vietnamese refugee who arrived in the US at the age of four obviously shaped his understanding of the Vietnamese American community, American society, and socialist Vietnam.
Both Nothing Ever Dies and The Sympathizer, either individually or in combination with one another, help us understand that wars never die. They are refought through memory and representation. Nguyen's work calls for an ethical response from his readers, as perpetrators, victims, and witnesses of war, to recognize the power of memory and forgetting. As Nguyen reminds us, "Haunted and haunting, human and inhuman, war remains with us and within us, impossible to forget but difficult to remember" (Nothing Ever Dies, 19).

XOLANI MAWANDE – FROM COO TO CEO: A JOURNEY OF 20 MILESTONES
AGEING WORKFORCE & GROOMING YOUNG PROFESSIONALS: Technological Impact & the Reality of Future World of Work by Kgomotso Mopalami
Life after graduation by Jacques van Zyl
Building on the press release, in this article we want to pay tribute to the new CEO of SABPP, Xolani Mawande. Over the past five years, Mr Mawande was responsible for some of the biggest successes achieved by SABPP in recent times. He spearheaded the following historic milestones:
Provincial growth strategy: Mr Mawande managed to achieve the best provincial membership growth in the history of SABPP. Visiting all provinces and constituting provincial committees in all nine provinces, he managed to ensure a significant SABPP footprint in all provinces. Reaching out to the rural provinces in particular ensured that through his regional support programme, the Eastern Cape managed to become the first province outside Gauteng to unseat the Western Cape and KZN as top membership growth provinces.
Student chapters: Mr Mawande managed to achieve incredible growth in student chapters throughout South Africa. Once again, visiting and reaching out to the most remote provinces resulted in rural universities such as Walter Sisulu University in the Eastern Cape outperforming large metropolitan universities in terms of SABPP student member numbers. Under his leadership, 12 student chapters were formed at different universities throughout the country and more than 2000 students mobilised. Many of these graduates managed to find employment within weeks after graduation, thus contributing significantly to HR graduate employment.
HR Youth Council:Building on the success of the HR Student Chapters, Mr Mawande launched the HR Youth Council in 2019. The HR Youth Council consists of the chairpersons of student chapters and they now have a national voice to influence decision-making about HR youth talent in South Africa.
Dynamic conference talks: As a preacher, Mr Mawande has a unique talent to inspire any audience. His excellent talks at several national events, such as the CHRO conference, AMIHRP, Mice Academy and Emergence Growth resulted in several further invitations for presentations, in addition to an increase in SABPP membership numbers following these talks.
A new IT and membership system: Following years of challenging IT transformation, Mr Mawande succeeded in the transition to a new IT system, the customised online membership portal for SABPP members. This was the first major attempt to the full automation of all SABPP work, providing self-service access to learning providers and professional members.
SABPP App: After a successful pilot project, Mr Mawande went ahead to develop an App for SABPP, thus members now have SABPP on their phone for daily contact and interaction.
Building a strong team: With the growth in membership numbers, staff numbers also increased. From a small team of 4 people in 2011, SABPP has grown to 20 staff members in 2019, making it one of the fastest growing professional bodies in South Africa.
New building: The new and growing SABPP team needed a bigger building, hence the need to acquire a bigger building. Mr Mawande successfully managed this transition to the new ultramodern building in 2019.
Biggest budget ever: Given the phenomenal growth of SABPP over the last 8 years, the budget has increased more than ten-fold from a R2 million budget to exceeding R20 million. Mr Mawande was responsible for the financial planning and management of SABPP during this period.
Largest surplus: While non-profit organisations are primarily focused on balancing the books when reachng break-even point, in 2018, given his performance and that of his team, the largest ever surplus was achieved.
Commissioners of Oaths: Mr Mawande was the individual at the SABPP office who did the most work in ensuring that SABPP HR Practitioners were approved as Ex-Officio Commissioners of Oaths by the Minister of Justice, Advocate Michael Masutha.
HR Standards Conference –6thAnnual Summit: Building on this world leadership event running from 2013 to 2018, Mr Mawande managed to run the 6thAnnual SABPP HR Standards conference with such a success that the event showed a bigger surplus than the previous annual conferences. This was mainly achieved as a result of the best ever sponsorships being secured for the conference.
Unprecedented membership growth: While excellent membership growth was experienced since 2011, Mr Mawande was a key driver of the increased membership numbers, mainly as part of a streamlined membership department, but also when deputising the CEO during membership drives.
Employee benefits: Using his corporate experience in the field of employee benefits, Mr Mawande arranged a full set of employee benefits for all SABPP employees. All contract positions were converted to full-time employment and all employees now receive a full suite of employee benefits, including pension and medical aid.
Diversity and employment equity: When Mr Mawande arrived at the SABPP office in 2014, about 60% of members were white and 40% black. He has now turned this around, and five years later, more than 70% of members are now black, meaning that the HR profession is now one of the first transformed professions in South Africa.
Board exams: In 2019 Mr Mawande introduced Board exams for HR practitioners, thereby ensuring that South Africa assumes world leadership in this regard.
Awards and bursaries: A number of awards and bursaries were established during his period as COO, but these awards are now part of a formal HR awards programme.
Supply-chain management: Given the phenomenal growth of SABPP over the past eight years, the number of suppliers has increased. Mr Mawande responded by developing a clear supply chain framework for SABPP, including a BBBEE strategy and policy.
Largest project: Mr Mawande played a key role in building relationships and overseeing the finances and delivery of SABPP's biggest project in history, i.e. HR capacity building for the Gauteng Provincial Government, Department of Health.
Building and strengthening alliances: During 2019 several existing alliances were strengthened such as The Ethics Institute, Leadership Platform, the Association for Certified Fraud Examiners and CHRO South Africa while new alliances were formed to advance the HR profession.
On behalf of the SABPP Board and the broader HR community, we thank Xolani for the hard work culminating in the above successes and we wish him and his team many further milestones as he takes the HR profession forward. We are proud of our new CEO and we are ready to support him all the way in his future career and journey as the leader of SABPP governing the HR profession.
