Japan celebrates the belly button festival

It was belly-up for thousands of people who indulged in a weekend of navel gazing at a festival dedicated to the belly button in central Japan. Children and adults alike, many of them sporting painted stomachs, took part at the annual Belly Button Festival in Shibukawa, north of Tokyo, where dancing in the streets is compulsory.

“The belly button is traditionally believed to be located in the middle of the body and the most important part. Our town, Shibukawa, is also called the belly button of Japan, and that is how this festival began,” said festival organizer Kazuo Yamada. The festival is based on a traditional Japanese form of entertainment where revellers paint a face on their torsos and stomachs and

Here is a rare one! It's a Deep Metallic Gold 1967 Mustang Limited Edition 400. It was sent in by site visitor, Gary, who noticed that we didn't have any photos of a Limited Edition 400 Mustang. These photos were taken soon after purchasing it new in 1967. He purchased it for his soon-to-be wife from C. Bradshaw, Inc. in Harvey, Illinois. Thanks Gary! Gary tells us more, "It was a special gold color with black vinyl top. It had black leather bucket seats with a 289 V8 with auto transmission and a floor console shifter. It had a 'Limited Edition 400' emblem on each of the front fenders. Everyone thought that it meant 400 cubic inches, but


actually it designated a limited edition model of 400 cars for the Chicago market. A very sharp car and fun to drive. We eventually traded it in for a new Ford Maverick (DUMB)."

About Koh Chang

Unlike many other Thai islands, Koh Chang was pretty much under the radar until the early 1990s. The first settlers here were local fishermen who got later accompanied by Chinese merchants as well traders and fishermen from Cambodia. Fishing was the main source of income for the island’s 5000 residents before tourism arrived. Less than a dozen fishing villages can be now found on the island, primarily situated on the

In the absence of an overriding federal act curing the problem, only the state in which the offenses occurred would have jurisdiction to prosecute the offender. In many cases the locus of the offense may be established clearly as being in one state or the other, but where, as here, the boundary is a river channel which is subject to change, the problem could become insurmountable. As an apparent curative, the Oregon Admission Act and the act organizing the Territory of Washington grant concurrent jurisdiction to Oregon and Washington over all offenses committed on the Columbia River where it forms a commonconstitutes double jeopardy within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

McDonnell visited Pulaski Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 12, 1985.   He entered a park pavilion to use the rest room, and met a twelve year old girl, Cathleen Yauch.   He spoke with Yauch, and touched her right arm.   After the brief meeting, McDonnell used the rest room and went to his car.   He stopped for a few minutes to read a newspaper.   While he was reading, Yauch and another girl began yelling at him.   McDonnell left the park.

3
Gerald Pfannerstill, a park employee, overheard two girls talking about a man who tried to rape one of them.   Pfannerstill spoke with the girls and then reported to his supervisor.


 The supervisor called the police.   Yauch told the park employee and Milwaukee police officer Michael Cournia and Pfannerstill that a man grabbed her, tried to reach between her legs, and attempted to drag her into the mens' rest room.   Yauch described the man she said attacked her to Officer Cournia and to Officer Richard Menzel.   Cournia took Yauch home, and Menzel began searching for the assailant.   Detectives Gary Moe and Thomas Christopher visited Yauch's home later that day and interviewed her.   Yauch repeated her story to the officers.   The officers interviewed Yauch's friends who confirmed her account.

4
On April 15, 1985, Pfannerstill called the police and reported that a man matching the description Yauch provided wasvisiting the park.   Menzel went to the park and arrested the man.   That man was McDonnell.   Cournia also went to the park on April 15 and interviewed Pfannerstill.   Pfannerstill told Cournia that he had seen McDonnell in the park on April 12, 1985.   McDonnell was placed in a police lineup with four other men.   Yauch identified him as her assailant.

5
McDonnell was charged with first degree sexual assault and attempted abduction, with an enhancement for habitual criminality.   McDonnell had been convicted of second degree sexual assault of a twelve year old boy in 1982.   The police officer defendants in this case each testified that they did not learn McDonnell's identity, or of his


prior record until he was arrested April 15.   At a preliminary hearing held on April 24, 1985, Yauch testified that McDonnell attacked her in the pavilion at Pulaski Park.   She told the judge substantially the same story she told the police on April 12.   She also testified that she told Pfannerstill about the incident before the police arrived.

6
McDonnell entered an Alford guilty plea1 in exchange for the state's agreement to drop the abduction count and the habitual criminality enhancement.   He was sentenced to eleven years imprisonment on February 17, 1986.   In January 1989, McDonnell filed a motion to set aside his conviction based upon Yauch's recantation of her story.   In a written statement, Yauch asserted thatof Milwaukee, Wisconsin July 10, 1989).   Wanda Smokovitz, another friend of Yauch's, said that Yauch returned from the pavilion and told them that a man had tried to rape her, but that Yauch "seemed to be play acting and wasn't upset or disturbed."   Id. at 4 (quoting Affidavit of Wanda Smokovitz at 2).

43
The state court found Yauch's recantation credible, and vacated McDonnell's conviction.   He was released on July 10, 1989, and the criminal case was dismissed on motion from the state.   McDonnell sued officers Cournia, Menzel, Moe, and Christopher, as well as park employee Pfannerstill under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.   He alleges that the defendants conspired to have Yauch make false charges against him in violation of his


 Yauch testified about her recantation before the state court at the hearing held to determine the viability of McDonnell's conviction.   Tr. of 4/27/89 at 21.   She stated that she told her friend when she left the pavilion that a man had tried to rape her.   Id.  She stated that a park employee overheard this comment and questioned her about it, and then called the police.   Id.  She testified that she lied to the police and fabricated an involved story about an attack, and got her friends to support her.   Id. at 20-21.   Yauch testified that she told the same story to the district attorney and at the preliminary hearing in McDonnell's criminal case.  Id. at 21-22.   She further testified that on the day she complained to the police, she did not know McDonnell or anything about his prior record for assaulting children, id. at 27, 30, but she did testify that one of the officers told her on April 12 that the man who attacked her was wanted "all over for rape."   Tr. at 30, 31, 32.

59
Although it is never expressly set out, McDonnell's theory of the case seems to be as follows:  Pfannerstill saw McDonnell in the park on April 12 and recognized him as a convicted sexual offender.   He heard Yauch telling her friend that a man tried to rape her.   He asked her to accuse McDonnell;


Yauch agreed and the police were called.   While she was waiting, Yauch cooked up the detailed story of her attack and enlisted her friends to corroborate her story.   The police arrived and were informed that no attack occurred, but that McDonnell should be put away on false charges.   They agreed and pressured Yauch to join the conspiracy and provide the false story they needed to justify McDonnell's arrest and to prosecute him.   The rest is history.

60
In her affidavit Yauch said:  "My false story was the result of being requested to do something by the man who first contacted me at the park after Mr. McDonnell left.   It further was the result of great pressure by the policeto the police.   She gave the police a detailed description of McDonnell.   All of the police officers testified that they did not know the identity of Yauch's assailant until his arrest on April 15.   Yauch identified him in a police line-up on April 16, and on that day or shortly thereafter the police discovered McDonnell's prior conviction for second degree sexual assault of a 12 year old boy.

62
Yauch came forward with the truth four years later.   She says she lied because she was "requested to do something by the man who first contacted me," who McDonnell says was Pfannerstill.   She did not tell the police that Pfannerstill asked her to tell this story, and she does not explain


CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's been a little more than a month since Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving asked for a trade in a meeting with owner Dan Gilbert. Aside from a few initial reports about what the Cavs are seeking in a trade, things have been quiet. At least, as hushed as they can be when a star player wants out.

In this Wine and Gold Talk podcast from cleveland.com, Joe Vardon and I discuss whether trading Irving is truly the only choice and the most likely destinations.

Given the Irving speculation ties into LeBron James' future, we also get into the report from last week about James "100 percent leaving" Cleveland following this season, a time when he can become a free agent.

Instead of a house, Bobbitt told the newspaper he opted for a camper, which he apparently parked on land the McClure's family owned. His "dream truck," he claimed, was broken. And he still hadn't found a job.

Bobbitt said he was still struggling with drugs and returned to rehab.

"I didn't get involved in drugs overnight," Bobbitt said. "It's going to be a struggle for the rest of my life."

New home, December 2017

In early December, Bobbitt and McClure's story went national. Media outlets across the country were sharing their story, and Bobbitt — who said he was a recovering drug addict — revealed how his life had changed.

"Three weeks ago … I was homeless on the streets of Philadelphia," Bobbitt told The Philadelphie Inquirer, while a photographer


snapped pictures of the pair. "I really didn't have any hope, didn't know what my future was."

The 34-year-old man told the newspaper donations from more than 14,000 people allowed him to find a home in New Jersey, a cell phone, computer and used truck.

"We're not angelic people looking for a cause." — Mark D'Amico

McClure's boyfriend, D'Amico, explained how the money would be distributed to Bobbitt in the coming years.

"We're not angelic people looking for a cause," he told the Inquirer, adding, "It's like we had a child instantly."

Homeless "hero," November 2017

In early November 2017, McClure, then 27, shared a touching story about her car ran out of gas on I-95 and a homeless man came to her rescue. She said a man named "Johnny" walked over to hertime I see him makes me want to help him more and more."

The young woman then shared a photo of herself with the man, posing on the side of the road with piles of trash visible in the background. She asked followers to help support him so his life "can get back to being normal."

And sure enough, donations started to pour in. Within days, McClure surpassed her initial $100,000 goal. By the end of November that year, more than $350,000 was raised for the supposed good Samaritan, a Marine veteran.

McClure said the funds would go toward buying Bobbitt a home and his "dream truck," as well as establishing two trusts set up in his name and his own bank account. She added he would allocate some of the


money to go toward charities that helped him through his "rough patch."

"This is a well thought out plan that Johnny his lawyer and financial advisor came up with in order to give Johnny the means to acclimate back into a 'normal' life and also to protect him and ensure he has a bright future," McClure continued. "I hope this will answer all the questions we have been getting about his plans."

Bobbitt, who was becoming a personal "hero" to many, even set up an Instagram account called "Johnny's Journey," where he updated "fans" about his latest adventures. More than 10,000 people follow the account.

Gregor Gysi, President of the European Left:

From 10th to 11th November the European Left attended the first 'Marseille European Forum', an annual forum of progressive forces of Europe, a new space for long-term political cooperation, bringing together a very broad panel of left, green and progressive parties, of platforms and political movements, trade unions and social organisations, NGOs, intellectuals and citizens movements from all over Europe. The European Union is in deep crisis. It is not based on solidarity, it is not socially just, not democratic, ecologically unsustainable, not transparent, bureaucratic and even strives to become militarized.

Tunisian Leaders Assassinated With Same Gun

Tunisian politician Mohammed Brahmi was killed with the same gun that killed another opposition leader, the country's interior minister has confirmed.

Lotfi Ben Jeddou said the shots fired at Mr Brahmi outside the MP's home came from the 9mm automatic weapon used to kill Chokri Belaid six months ago, suggesting the involvement of the radical Islamist group Ansar al Sharia.

He named Boubacar Hakim, a hardline Salafist already being sought of suspicion of smuggling weapons from Libya, as the main suspect.

Mr Brahmi's daughter Balkis said she saw two men in black T-shirts and helmets fleeing the murder scene on scooters.

"At around midday, we heard gunfire and my father crying with pain," she said.

"We rushed out, my brother, mother and I, to find


his body riddled with bullets at the wheel of his car parked in front of the house.

"Local police took a long time coming and a neighbour took my father to hospital where he died. He lived as a man of principle and has left us a martyr."

Mr Brahmi's death threatened to plunge Tunisia into fresh political turmoil, with one of the country's biggest trade unions threatening a wave of strikes against a backdrop of widespread protests.

Thousands of people gathered outside the interior ministry in the capital Tunis, as protesters blamed the Islamist party Ennahda for the MP's killing.

The accusation was rejected by party leader Rached Ghannouchi, who described Mr Brahmi's death as "a catastrophe for Tunisia".

"Those behind this crime want to lead the country towards civil war andto disrupt the democratic transition," he said.

Mr Jeddou said there was no evidence of any political party's involvement in Mr Brahmi's assassination, while prime minister Ali Larayedh added: "I condemn in the strongest terms this odious crime which targets the whole of Tunisia and its security."

Further demonstrations are planned across Tunisia as Mr Brahmi's funeral takes place, while industrial action called for by the General Union of Tunisian Labour could further inflame tensions.

A day of mourning has been declared and national airline Tunisair has cancelled all flights.

The assassination of Mr Belaid outside his home in February sparked a political crisis in Tunisia, as mass protests led to the resignation of then-prime minister Hamadi Jebali.

"Our family had the feeling Mohammed would suffer the same fate as Chokri Belaid," Mr


Brahmi's sister Chhiba said.

Tunisia, the birthplace of the Arab Spring, is struggling with a democratic transition after the overthrow of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.

The country is led by Ennahda, which rules in a coalition with two secular parties.

However, the opposition has criticised the party for not cracking down on hardline Islamists, who have been blamed for many acts of violence in the last few years.decree dated Oct. 19, 2018.

A few days later, it was the turn of a corruption icon, the former Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) member Yolette Mengual, to be removed as General Director of the Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE). She was accused of corruption in the 2016 elections, and nobody could understand how the president could appoint Ms. Mengual to run a ministry when she was already indicted for corruption. (However, President Moïse himself came into office indicted for laundering millions of dollars.)

By firing these high public officials, the President is trying to extinguish the flames which are racing towards his house, which is not safe. It was also the first positive results for the organizers of the Oct. 17 protest, who want even more significant gestures from


Moïse.

Because, the goal is nothing less than the arrest of all those named in the two reports on the use of PetroCaribe funds, issued by two Senate Commissions led respectively by Senators Youri Latortue and Evallière Beauplan. The dismissal of Wilson Laleau and Yves Germain Joseph, the two highest officials implicated in the PetroCaribe affair and threatened with prosecution, is seen as opening an avenue for the trial so demanded by an outraged population. These implicated officials could only escape justice by finding refuge in the National Palace.

In addition to these two officials, who were dismissed by the President and practically put in the hands of Haiti’s Attorney General (Procureur de la République), during the same week, two other former senior state officials were summoned by the Port-au-Princeprosecutor to answer questions about PetroCaribe funds: former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and the contractor Patrice Milfort, General Manager of General Construction SA. They were invited to come say what they know about the use of PetroCaribe funds.

In the opposition’s crosshairs since the discovery of this large-scale corruption, Laurent Lamothe remains one of the main accused in this scandal. He was for a time both Prime Minister and the Minister of Planning and External Cooperation under President Michel Martelly. He has already been heard several times by a judge, but there has never been any follow up. This time, he did not respond to the invitation of the state prosecutor Clamé Ocnam Daméus on Oct. 23, 2018. Patrice Milfort of General Construction SA also did not go to


office. An armored car was even given to this judge. Céant has taken the same steps with members of the Superior Council of the Judiciary Authority (CSPJ) in an effort to show the co-operation of the executive power to assist the judiciary in taking action against those who emptied the state fund. The Prime Minister also wrote to the Superior Court of Auditors promising them all the help and assistance they need for their work on this case.

Before these events, the very day of the big Oct. 17 demonstration, the President began Tweeting a lot. Some want him to shed light on all the PetroCaribe corruption, but the most radical want his resignation, especially the political leaders who do not see in this PetroCaribe mobilization a mere campaignwill fight to own it.

This may also be seen as a turning point in the craft distilling world in another way. I just returned from the American Craft Spirits Association second annual meeting in Austin. Harry Kohlmann of Park Street Imports, in the best presentation of the conference, suggested that the next few years will see the Diageos, Pernod-Ricards, and Brown-Formans of the world acquiring broad regional portfolios of craft spirits. Each might acquire a half-dozen or more small spirits makers — say, one each in the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, California, Rockies, etc. They could then flood the zone, and erect a defensive line against further encroachments from those garage-based pot stills. (This will work only if they can wrestle the definition of “craft” away from a

Kirk Goldsberry: It's the risk the Lakers had to take, and it's the haul the Pelicans needed. My initial take is both teams did great. The Lakers have added LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the past 12 months. That's pretty good -- congrats, dudes. Now they have to build a squad thatSnellings: This is huge, a win-win trade, with the Lakers on the short list of championship favorites and the Pelicans possibly the most exciting young team in the league. In the aftermath of an NBA season that ended with an incredible championship run, this trade is a massive game-changer that reshuffles the deck and could affect every major decision in what already was shaping up to be a monster offseason.

2. How did the Lakers do in this deal?

Marks: That's still to be determined based on what they do in free agency. Yes, Los Angeles gave up more than the Knicks did in the 2011 Carmelo Anthony trade to New York, but Davis is a top-five player in the prime of his career. The Lakers will now need to

Young: It's simple: They landed one of the best players in the league, and he is 26 years old -- it's a massive win. Despite the expectation that Davis will still test free agency next summer, the Lakers surely will have the inside track on re-signing him long term. So although it's a lot to give up, depth is compromised and the future asset cupboard is picked clean, they also have Anthony Davis -- most likely -- for the prime of his career.

It jolts the LakersWest in next season's Finals.

I'm really high on Lonzo Ball, in particular, and think he has All-NBA upside, but he was unlikely to reach that level while LeBron is still at his peak. This trade helps the Lakers now.

Goldsberry: The best players on the 2017-18 Lakers were Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle. They're starting 2019-20 with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. That's a big improvement, but it still depends on what's next. It takes more than two guys to win NBA games. This team is in dire need of shooting. If the Lakers can surround this team with solid 3-and-D players, look out. But more guys like Rajon Rondo and Lance Stephenson won't be good enough. The Lakers' mantra for July should be, "Shooting, shooting, shooting."

-- and they might be happier because of it -- but Davis did.

Goldsberry: The West is absolutely wide open. We haven't said that in a few years. Given the free agency and injury situations hanging over Golden State, that Finals spot is suddenly up for grabs. The Lakers are now the only West team with two top-10 players who are healthy.

Bontemps: What a week, right? The Toronto Raptors win the title, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson both suffer devastating injuries that could keep them out all of next season and now Davis goes to the Lakers. All of this only makes Kawhi Leonard's impending decision in free agency all the more important. The events of the past month have solidified Leonard as the best player in basketball. Wherehe chooses to play will be the next major decision that determines the way the league looks next season.

Marks: League sources indicate that this trade will be completed on July 6, which has major ramifications. Waiting until July 30 would give the Lakers the ability to sign a max player during the first week of free agency or split the $32.5 million between two or three players. But finalizing the trade on July 6 limits what the Lakers can add in free agency, and it should take any max players off the board.

Snellings: With the Warriors dealing with two major injuries and potential losses in free agency, there already was going to be an opening for another team to stake claim to the West. With this trade, every


team in the NBA with designs on next season's championship will have to consider pushing in all of their chips and making major moves.

5. Early prediction: Who is your 2020 NBA title favorite?

Goldsberry: As of today, it has to be the Milwaukee Bucks. They were the best team in the regular season. They should come back even better next year, and with the uncertainty swirling around literally every other contender, the Bucks should be the favorites.

Marks: The Rockets -- if they take the for sale sign off the roster.

Bontemps: It's impossible to say before free agency shakes out. What is certain is that the title race is as wide open as it has been in at least a decade. Golden State's injuries likely knock them out of the"synapsis" or condensation stage occurs at the close of the last

Adam -- aged 2 years and 4 months -- had spent an unknown number of hours outdoors in southern Poland after going missing from his grandmother's house in Raclawice, near Krakow, spokeswoman Magdalena Oberc of the University Children's Hospital in Krakow said Thursday. Authorities said he was discovered face down in leaves wearing only socks and a pajama top as temperatures hit minus 7 degrees Celsius (19 Fahrenheit).

His body temperature was only 12.7 C (55 F) and his heart was beating extremely slowly when hospital treatment began early Sunday.


According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child's normal temperature ranges from 36-38 degrees C.

Dr. Janusz Skalski, a heart surgeon at the children's hospital, said Adam's quick recovery had surprised everyone but he will still need rehabilitation therapy to help restore his full physical and mental abilities.

A tear going down her cheek, Adam's mother Paulina told TVN24 he said "Mama! Tata!" (mom, dad) and hugged a teddy bear they had brought him from home.

"Everything is OK now. All we want is to have him back with us and hugging us as tight as he can," she said.

The boy's father Mateusz said when Adam opened his eyes and looked at him "it was like he was born again."

Nurse Wioletta Dyrcz told TVN24 that Adam had said "yes" whenasked if he wanted breakfast and had cottage cheese with tea.

"He breathes on his own, moves his head, follows us with his eyes and smiles," Dyrcz said. "He's playing with cars and watching children's videos."

The boy's father said his son may have been sleepwalking when he left the house. Polish media say the grandmother remains hospitalized in a state of shock.

Fortunately, the second Great Depression didn’t happen. In fact, less than three years after the recession bottomed out in 2009, the country has had a net gain in jobs relative to the jobs that had been lost. We have had 32 straight months of job growth in the private sector. The DOW has more than doubled, which has been good news to anyone with a 401K.

The pay gap between men and women in the UK currently stands at 13.9%, according to the Fawcett Society, which campaigns for women's rights.

Or to put it another way, the society calculates that on average for every £1 a man earns, a woman earns a touch more than 86p.

Here are some of the important moments in the fight to close that gap.

1968: Ford sewing machinists' strike

Immortalised in the 2010 film "Made in Dagenham", this strike by a group of women who stitched the seats for thousands of Ford cars, has become a celebrated moment in the campaign for equal pay.

Originally, however, thestrike was more about grading than money. The women wanted to be recognised as semi-skilled workers, which was grade C in the company pay structure, rather than being labelled unskilled workers, which was grade B.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption On the same trip to London the women attended a conference on equal rights in industry

Within weeks of the women going on strike in June 1968, Ford was forced to shut down parts of its Dagenham plant.

On 28 June the women took their fight to Whitehall, marching behind a banner which famously read "We want sex". If it had unfurled properly the last word, "equality", would also have been visible, but passing drivers didn't seem to mind.

A group of the strikers met the employment secretary Barbara Castle that


day and a deal was brokered.

The women returned to work on 92% of the male pay rate, rather than the 85% they'd been on before the strike and on the promise that their grading would be re-examined.

The machinists had to go on strike again at Christmas 1984 to secure that re-grading.

1970: Equal Pay Act

The Ford machinists' strike is widely seen as one of the spurs to the introduction of the Equal Pay Act in 1970. This stated that men and women were entitled to equal pay.

It allowed claims for similar jobs, or jobs that were different but which the employer had rated as needing similar skill or effort and had put in the same grade.

"Pay" meant contractual pay, so the Act covered benefits including bonuses.

Claims underthe Act can only be brought on the grounds of sex discrimination.

In 1975 the EU directive on equal pay established the principle of equal pay for work of equal value, and this was enshrined in law in the UK in 1984.

1988: Cammell Laird kitchen

This is seen as one of the first big tests of the UK's amended 1984 Equal Pay Act and its stipulation of equal pay for work of equal value.

The reluctant hero of this campaign was Julie Hayward who worked as a cook in the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead. She started as an apprentice at the age of 16 and when she and her fellow apprentices completed their training, the three men in the group got a pay rise - but Julie didn't.

Echo Image caption Julie Hayward in the kitchen at the Cammell Laird shipyard

She discovered that they were classed as craftsmen, while she was considered a labourer.

The company argued at an industrial tribunal that you couldn't compare what a woman does in the kitchen with what men do outside in the shipyard. Her male colleagues were a shipboard painter, a joiner and a thermal insulation engineer.

To counter this, Julie's defence produced pictures of her carrying industrial-sized trays of pies for the shipbuilders' lunches and putting them in a piping hot oven.

The tribunal called in an independent expert who analysed the different roles and then ruled that the work was indeed of equal value

Despite the ruling, this was only the start of Julie's legal battle. Finally in 1988, more thanfour years after she started her equal value claim, the House of Lords found in Julie's favour.

2011: Abdulla Group vs Birmingham council

Image copyright PA

This fight between Birmingham City Council and a group of its workers established the principle that employees can seek redress in the County Court on equal pay claims for up to six years after leaving their employer.

Claims to an employment tribunal must be submitted within six months.

The original case was brought to tribunal on behalf of some 5,000 workers employed by the city council. They were mainly women in female-dominated roles, such as cooks, carers and cleaners. They had discovered that they weren't being offered the same bonuses as some of their counterparts working as binmen or street cleaners or gravediggers.

One of the women described


herself as "absolutely gutted" when she found out.

The council said it had scrapped its "inappropriate bonus schemes" in 2007, nevertheless the workers won their case for equal pay in 2010.

The argument then hinged on whether they were entitled to compensation, given that they were out of time according to the tribunal system. So, 174 of them, who became known as the Abdulla Group, brought a claim for breach of contract in the High Court.

They won the case in 2011, and in 2012 the council, who argued that such cases should be heard by expert employment tribunals, was refused permission to appeal against the decision.

According to a well-known argument (Fodor 1981; Osherson & Smith 1981) prototypes are not compositional. In brief, the argument runs as follows: consider a concept like PET FISH. It results from the composition of the concept PET and of the concept FISH. However, the prototype of PET FISH cannot result from the composition of the prototypes of PET and FISH: a typical PET is furry and warm, a typical FISH is greyish, but a typical PET FISH is neither furry and warm nor greyish. A possible solution should be to hypothesize that compositional representations and representations in (proto)typical terms depend on different cognitive components, based on different types of representation.

In addition to these practices, we must consider the role that goods have played in the extension of the human body. Humans are a well-wrapped species, metaphorically and literally, and the wrappings help sediment personal histories and biographies in the body. Contemplating the accumulating layers of epigenetic elaboration, we return to the stunning revelation of the new neuroscience. The human nervous system is designed not to distinguish overmuch between the genetic body and the cultural body; the brain builds any extension of the body right into the body map.


societies are defined by the ways in which humans relate to animals, we need only look around us. A century and a half after Darwin's time, animals are not only bred in confinement but raised and killed there. Factory farms produce 75 percent of the world's poultry, more than 66 percent of all eggs, and 40 percent of all pork, and "virtually all of the growth in livestock production" occurs in industrial systems. The globalization of agriculture—crops and livestock—that has come about through commercial efforts to cut costs by shifting factories to places with lower rents and labor costs has severed many of the links, both substantive and conceptual, that once existed between livestock and land. Naylor and colleagues argue that the result has been still greater ecologicalAs a result, long-lasting relationships develop primarily between unrelated individuals, although, like male chimpanzees, females maintain strong bonds with their kin.

Long-term social relationships are a prominent feature of primate behavior, and factors other than kinship affect their formation and maintenance. Primates cultivate relationships with non-kin to obtain adaptive benefits. For example, unrelated individuals reciprocate grooming and exchange it for coalitionary support, tolerance at feeding sites, and access to newborn infants. Female baboons gain protection against infanticide and aggression by establishing long-term bonds with unrelated males. Unrelated male chimpanzees trade meat, a scarce resource, for help in fights. In baboons, females who form strong social bonds with others produce more offspring than other females.

Social relationships between unrelated primates may also have significant emotional and psychological effects. Female baboons who


bandits and other skimmers of wealth could settle down to expropriate some of the goods.

Early on, trading colonies were established in hinterland regions, well away from direct state presence but nearer to the sources of scarce metals and precious stones.

A collection of personal histories of survivors of wartime torture and rape, to be launched at 2 pm at the Orion conference hall, chronicles the horrors of war.

This is an anonymously-told personal history excerpted from the book “I want to be heard: Memory book with stories of women survivors of torture during the last war in Kosovo” published by forumZFD and Integra, in collaboration with KTRC. The book is an attempt to record the stories of women who survived torture and sexual violence during the Kosovo war in 1999.

*Disclaimer: This excerpt contains descriptions of sexual violence, which may be triggering to survivors and younger audiences.

At the age of six my parents divorced. My father remarried. They divorced because my mother could not bear any more children. That wasthe only reason. So my father remarried and then a year later he had a son. One year after that he had another son. I lived with my father and my step mother, but I grew up with the feeling that she was not my mother. I never saw my mother again. She remarried and I never saw her again, until I got married myself, we had no contact with one another at all.

[…]

I grew up a bit, and at the age of 12 [my father] had me engaged. My father did it on his own, because I knew nothing. It was not like nowadays when girls choose the loved ones themselves… no, no, no, I had never seen my husband beforehand. My father had done the military


for me, cleaned for me and took care of me as if she were my mother and not the other wife. She was really very nice to me and we did get on really well. Then my husband died.

[…]

My oldest son found his wife on his own. He was in school and a friend of his said he had a neighbor, and introduced them. They got married. We were relatively well off. They had a big wedding, we bought a lot of clothes for the bride.

When my mother’s husband died, I took her to live with me. She had nowhere to go. The Serbs had burned her house in Vushtrri.

[…]

Before the war I remember the Serbs came to get the weapons from my husband. They came to raidour house. We had two lawfully owned weapons. So they came to ask for the weapons. My husband wouldn’t give them. He said he possessed them legally, why give them? He didn’t hand them over.

My husband died before the war started. He had a high blood pressure. The Serbs had beaten him up in the protests. He was spitting blood and then he died.

My youngest son joined the Kosova Liberation Army. When the war started they would not let us settle in one place for more than three days. They would drag us from one place to the other.

I was with my daughter-in-law, with the neighbor women, with my sisters-in-law. There were many of us. And we were on a tractor with our brother-in-law. They took our tractor

The Patriots have downgraded rookie receiver Aaron Dobson to out. The second-round pick previously had been listed as questionable, with a hamstring injury.

The other three Patriots who had been listed as 50-50 propositions to play also have been dropped to zero: running back Brandon Bolden (knee), defensive back Nate Ebner (ankle), and defensive back Duron Harmon (hamstring).

Tight end Rob Gronkowski, who had been listed as doubtful as he recovers from back surgery, also has officially been scratched.

LOS ANGELES, May 7 (UPI) -- LMN says it will air The Night Stalker, a new movie starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Bellamy Young, on June 12.

The adaptation of the book of the same name by Philip Carlo will first screen at the Seattle International Film Festival on June 4.

"Known to many as the Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez was a cruel and prolific serial killer who murdered 14 people and terrorized Los Angeles


in the summer of 1985. Though Ramirez was ultimately convicted of these atrocities and remained on death row for nearly 30 years, suspicion loomed of him having committed additional crimes," a synopsis said.

Phillips plays Ramirez in the movie, while Young portrays Kit, an attorney "who travels to San Quentin on an impossible mission to clear the name of Harrison Johnson [played by Hawthorne James,] a death row inmate in Texas whom she believes has been wrongly accused of murders perpetrated by Ramirez."        pertaining to the  purchase of large quantities  of cocaine.

In light of these difficulties, they asked Alvarez

Initially,  she  also  voiced  an  interest  in             purchasing some of the cocaine that Alvarez had received  as             his  fee for transporting the cocaine.  Ultimately, however,             she decided against it because of financial constraints.                       Finally, Alvarez informed Matiz that she would be             able to pick up her portion of the cocaine on June 12, 1991.             He   reserved  a  hotel   room  for  Matiz   in  Middleboro,             Massachusetts near the site for the transfer of the cocaine.             Matiz  and Diaz  arrived at  the  hotel on  June 10.    In a             continued effort


to conceal their identities,  they checked             into the hotel using fictitious names and addresses.                         The following  evening, Alvarez and  Special Agent             Dillon   met  Matiz  at  the  hotel   to  review  the  final             arrangements  for  the   pickup.

College Roundup: UCI's Park ties for second at invitational

SAMMAMISH, Wash. — UC Irvine senior Michelle Park finished tied for second in the event that concluded Wednesday at Sahalee Country Club.

Park shot an even-par 72 in the final round for a 54-hole total of 217, along with Charlotte Thomas of Washington and Stanford's Sally Watson. Washington's SooBin Kim was medalist with an 11-under total of 205.

UCI tied for fourth in the 16-team tournament that included six teams ranked in the nation's top 50.

Host Washington, ranked sixth, finished first with a three-round score of 886, No. 7 UC Davis was second at 900, 40th-ranked Stanford third at 905, and UCI and No. 39 Oregon tied for fourth at 918. UNLV, ranked 30th, was sixth (927) and No. 46 GonzagaThe umpires found pine tar on Peralta's glove. He was ejected from the game and expects a suspension of up to 10 days from Major League Baseball. The league office said it was investigating the incident and that no decision would be announced Wednesday.

Maddon was furious after the game, calling Johnson's actions "cowardly," "bush" and "bogus." Johnson knew about the pine tar because he had inside information on Peralta, who pitched for the Nationals in 2010.

Johnson responded to Maddon before Wednesday's game, and Maddon then responded to Johnson. Some of the words used would not appear on most Christmas cards.

Johnson: "Any time there's a rule violation, as far as I'm concerned, it's just a rule violation. My only comment to him is read the rulebook. It's simple."

Maddon: "I


declined further comment through a Rays spokesman on Wednesday.

Maddon and Johnson did find one piece of common ground: They agreed Peralta shouldn't be suspended for getting caught.

"I think that's way too severe," Johnson said. "I think just getting thrown out of the game should be enough. Repeat violators, then it could be more severe."

Peralta remains eligible to pitch while the league investigates, and he was showered with boos Wednesday when he ran in from the bullpen with one out in the eighth inning. Using a different glove -- the league office has confiscated the mitt with the pine tar -- he retired both batters he faced without needing much encouragement from his manager.

"He was jacked up enough," Maddon said. "He didn't need me to say anything to him."

"I thought he was going to check my glove," Strasburg said.

As it turned out, the ump only wanted to see the ball, which had bounced in the dirt on the throw to second following Strasburg's final warm-up toss.

influenced further differentiation. The differences follow the general path of Germanic and Latinish pairs in English: we associate the Germanic one with earthier, mundane, poorer, and more agricultural topics and the Latin one with more monied, professional, erudite, educated, and aristocratic senses.
Primarily, the difference stems from the use of "collect" to round up money for the church and king: You "gather" fruit(s), lambs, tribute, flowers, ground, wind, wheat but you "collect" money, tax(es), revenue, rents. You call collect and collect individual things and people from some particular location.

AMSTERDAM — Ukraine and Russia are locked in another heated battle over Crimea.

But this dispute is playing out in court, with the two neighbors locked in a legal fight over a precious collection of gold artifacts from the disputed peninsula.

The collection includes ancient jewelry, gems, helmets and scabbards from four museums in Crimea. It was on loan to a museum in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam in 2014 — around the same time Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

Five years later, the rare archaeological finds are still caught in the middle as both the Ukrainian government and Crimean museums claim ownership.

The collection highlights the rich history of Crimea as a staging post at the


crossroads between Europe and Asia.

“Never before has Ukraine made so many prized archaeological exhibits available on loan,” the Allard Pierson Museum said ahead of displaying the collection in Amsterdam in 2014.

The exhibition included items originating from four museums in Crimea and one museum in Kiev, Ukraine’s capital.

In August 2014, the museum returned the artifacts it borrowed from the National Museum of History of Ukraine. However, after facing “conflicting claims” of ownership from both sides, it is still in possession of 572 disputed items.

In 2016, a Dutch court ruled the artifacts must be returned to Ukraine because they are part of the country's heritage, but the Crimean museums appealed the decision.

An appeal hearing took place in an Amsterdam court Monday, where lawyers from both sides presented final arguments.

Marielle Koppenol-Laforce, a Rotterdam-based lawyer who represents the Crimean museums, told NBC News the museums were the original keepers of the historic artifacts at the time of the exhibition in Amsterdam and they still are.

She says the artifacts were recovered from Crimean soil — a result of many years of archaeological work.

“All they want is to display the treasures,” Koppenol-Laforce said.

The petitioner subsequently defaulted in making payments due under the agreement.  His wife thereupon, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, instituted actions against him in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.  There were two such actions to recover payments due under the agreement, (1) for the years 1927 and 1930-1936, and (2) for the year 1937.

In the first action an order was entered on May 16, 1939, which directed petitioner to pay his wife the sum of $550 per month, pursuant to a judgment entered against petitioner in the office of the Clerk of the County of New YorkThese payments were made because of the order of June 24, 1941 and the judgment of March 29, 1941, as affirmed by the Appellate Division.

The petitioner now resides in Chicago, Illinois, and filed his federal income tax returns for the periods involved with the Collector of Internal Revenue for the First District of Illinois, at Chicago.  The taxes in controversy are federal income and victory taxes for the years ending December 31, 1942 and December 31, 1943.  The petitioner's income tax paid for the year 1942 being pertinent because of the provisions of the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943, Sec. 6(f), 26 U.S.C.A. § 1622 note.

Murray had been married in 1924, and about two years later had a son who proved to be their only child.  The couple separated in 1934 and on January 13 of that year made an agreement for the maintenance of the wife and the child.  That agreement provided 'inter alia' that after the child reached the age of 14 years, the husband agreed to pay the wife 25% of his income with a minimum of $1445 and a maximum of $5200.

19
In September 1934, the wife sued for and obtained a decree of divorce which gave her custody of the child and incorporated the payments provided for in the agreement of 1934 as the provisions for her support and that of the child.  Until 1938, apparently,payments were made as provided in the agreement incorporated in the decree of divorce.  Early in 1938, at the suggestion of the husband, a new contract was entered into by the parties which provided that in lieu of the provisions of the contract incorporated in the decree the husband promised that until his wife should re-marry he would pay her the flat sum of $85 per week.  This contract also provided that the wife might have the divorce decree of 1934 modified to agree with the new terms which she might enforce in any legal way.  She did now, however, apply for a modification of the decree and the husband made the payments for the year 1943 in accordance with the new contract.

Rohini Singh, who is notoriously known for fake news and propaganda, along with her colleague Prashant Kanojia, posted a false narrative to target the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. In her tweet, Rohini Singh went on to attribute a casteist remark made against Akhilesh Yadav by BSP supremo Mayawati to Yogi Adityanath.

Prashant Kanojia, who also claims to be a journalist and also Singh’s colleague at The Wire, displayed his machismo and blazed his guns against UP CM Yogi Adityanath by attributing the same Mayawati’s casteist statement to targetPlaintiff's own evidence was consistent with these explanations.

Sharks win Ellis Park armwrestle

Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:57

The Sharks scored the only try of the game to beat the Lions 25-12 at Ellis Park and claim top spot on the Super Rugby standings.

It was not the most fluent, creative, adventurous, romantic game ever played and yet there was a certain fascination in what happened before 30 377 enthusiastic spectators at Ellis Park on a warm, autumn evening. The 25-12 score may look comfortable enough for the Sharks but it was not. They had an embarrassment of riches, as the French would say, and yet their profit was based on the errors of the Lions rather than their own creative genius. That went for the lone try of the match as well - an error by the Lions.

At


the end of the first half the Sharks had had 72% of possession and the score was 6-all. It was more danse macabre than palais glide. But it was fascinating.

The strangest thing about it was that the Lions did not appear to be hanging on by their fingernails. The Sharks did not look as if at any moment they would break the dam walls and pour a tsunami over the Lions. And at the end you felt that the Lions had not be dealt with fairly in not getting at least a point out of the match.

Odwa Ndungane led the Sharks out on to the green grass of Ellis Park, celebrating his 100th match for the Sharks. The Lions kicked off to him, he dummied and ran fromdeep in his own 22 to the Lions' 10-metre line where he passed. This, it seemed, was going to be a romantic evening. That was the only bit of romance and in the second half Ndungane left the field injured.

He was not the only injury. Deon van Rensburg damaged a knee and was taken off on the mobile stretcher. Fred Zeilinga ran with the ball and suddenly collapsed in agony with a hamstring injury. That was early in the first half.

Jannie du Plessis was given a yellow card for late shouldering and Willem Alberts had a tried denied because he had played a man without the ball to get these.

None of that is romantic.

Before Zeilinga went off he kicked two penalty goals, one when Lionel Mapoe was penalised

The Sharks broke out and attacked down the left. Faf de Klerk was penalised and Steyn lobbed over the easy kick. 15-9 after 62 minutes but Boshoff did in line manner two minutes later when Alberts was penalised.

The Lions deserved more from the match than they got, and yet they were masters of their own defeat.

going right Hollenbach did a dummy switch and was in isolation when he was tackled. Sibusiso Sithole won a turnover and sent Mvovo galloping away down the left wing. He chipped, gathered and scored from about 40 metres out. 22-12 after 67 minutes.

Man of the Match: Frans Steyn and his booming boot, his aggressive defenceCelebrated for his mastery in mark making that captured Black dignity, suffering, and triumph, Charles White has only recently gained acclaim as a devout educator and pioneer in social practice. While his artworks took many forms over the years—spanning the canons of painting, drawing, and public art—they share an emotive formalism, powerful enough to carry the torch of the Black Chicago Renaissance, and speak across the many binaries of the civil rights movement. White only lived to the age of sixty-one, however, his prolific career spanned four decades, and now—four decades later—the full extent of his legacy and influence on generations of artists is finally being lauded by mainstream arts institutions beyond his native Chicago. His stunning retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art is divided chronologically into


six sections, each of which explores a defining era in the artist’s all too short, yet profoundly impactful life.

Throughout his career, White dutifully rejected the dominant images of African Americans in circulation, exercising his artistry as a tool for rectifying misperceptions and reclaiming the narrative of black culture within American history. He once stated, “Because the white man does not know the history of the Negro, he misunderstands him,” and many works in the first section of the exhibition embody this tension between perception and reality. For his 1939 WPA (Works Progress Administration) mural Five Great American Negroes—his first public mural and the first piece one encounters as they approach the galleries—White depicts Sojourner Truth, Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, and Marian Anderson in vibrantcolored oils on canvas. He plays with perspective in this large-scale work to foreground these pioneers in African American history, while simultaneously distorting the background—or terra firma—on which these greats so precariously stand.

White arrived at these figures by working with The Chicago Defender to mobilize the South Side in revisiting the contributions of African Americans to American history, and voting for whom they wanted to see represented on their walls. This gesture would become a recurring theme and position in White’s practice—that African Americans are the authority on the Black experience, and that art can carry this agency, even when the world it depicts can not. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and member of the Sponsoring Committee of the South Side Community


Art Center, White’s commitment to arts education is evidenced not just in the social and cultural institutions he helped build there, but also in the collaborative processes behind the creation of his murals.

White came to prominence in an art historical moment of abstraction, thus making his choice to see and depict Black humanity through figuration a supremely political one. White’s early works share an illustrative, expressive style that boast both a formal and cultural accuracy in regarding the black figure—a striking aesthetic quality not, however, to be overshadowed by their blunt political commentary. In his 1939 watercolor Kitchenette Debutantes, White called out the horrific living conditions so many African Americans faced living in overcrowded apartments on the South Side. Here, he lends his skillful mastery of light andcolor to represent two local women, whose shapely forms occupy the near entirety of the angular window frame. The tension between curve and line—dark and light—amplifies the viewer’s sense of both their cramped quarters, and the vast distance between the American dream and the lived reality of African Americans at the time. Aside from its formal brilliance, the scene bears expert witness to the resilience of the Black spirit and imagination—despite the ways this world would render these women invisible, their gestures and facial expressions affirm their self-determination to find beauty in their surroundings and mirrored reflections.

An artist and advocate in touch with the struggles of his community, White was as committed to representing the injustices they faced as he was to depicting their strength to overcome. In


murals to easily replicable works on paper.

In The Return of the Soldier (1946), he explores the historical and disposable role African Americans have played within America’s so-called democracy, first as slaves and unskilled laborers, and then as soldiers and veterans during World War II. Here, we see White making painstaking use of repetitive fine lines, the density of which produces a near-pitchblack scene from which the figures of a policeman and Klan member emerge, as they loom over three Black soldiers huddled together on the ground. White graphically deploys pen and ink to rewrite the story of the African American soldier in its sad truth—how many returned to social injustices in their own country, as violent and militant as war, and far worse than anything they’d seen abroad.

Hispro-labor, socialist political stance was ever visible, and in the ’50s he increasingly elevated the image of the laborer by depicting large, spectacularly rendered hands, and bodies of monumental proportions in works such as Our Land (1951) and Harvest Talk (1953). As pre- and post-war America saw a rise in illustrative propaganda, White rode the wave, strategically reproducing his works on paper in ads for black-owned businesses, in leftists journals such as Freedomways, The Daily Worker and Masses & Mainstream, and on album and magazine covers. Iconic works such as J’Accuse #10 (Negro Woman) (1966)—which flanked the cover of a special issue of Ebony Magazine that same year—were widely and regularly circulated, which meant their political messages would reach the broadest possible audience. Despite their commercial or editorial


contexts, these works maintained the status of high art, and transcended potential slippage into the flattened realm of illustration.

The exhibition then transitions into his later years, a time when his appreciation for the contemporary contributions of Black people to American history led him to entertainers who—like himself—carried the story and spirit of Blackness in their artistry. At the same time he was building community in Los Angeles amongst Black Hollywood, White began to teach at Otis Art Institute, where he influenced the budding practices of world renowned artists Kerry James Marshall and David Hammons. Through both his love of music and passion for teaching, White continued to explore the social aspects of art that intrigued him, celebrating the power of music and education to put forth a newthe exhibition that teaching had a remarkable influence on White, as students pushed him to reexamine his own form and content. The last decade of White’s career was a period of bold experimentation during which he developed a collaged approach that layered oil painting, drawing, and text. Black Pope (1973), an iconic image for which he might be most well known, depicts a robed Black man in sunglasses wearing a sandwich board who, through a unique combination of gestures and props, takes on a regality and dignity despite the inference that his congregation might be on, and of, the street. A skeleton, crucifix, and the word “Chicago” looms overhead, leaving visitors exiting the exhibition to reflect on White’s message, and singular ability to deploy art as both a


language of resistance and tool for social cohesion.

Whitewalling: Art, Race & Protest in 3 Acts is an exploratory case study in institutional racism as it has manifested in the New York City art world over the past half century. Centering public protest as the platform of the oppressed—and, in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, “riot as the language of the unheard”—author Aruna D’Souza offers an uncensored look at the role black artists, activists, and their allies have played in forging more equitable practices within the field of contemporary art. In each instance—Dana Schutz’s painting Open Casket (2016) in the 2017 Whitney Biennial; Artists Space’s 1979 exhibition The Nigger Drawings; and The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 1969 exhibition Harlem on My Mind— “artistic freedom” emerges as the linchpinin arguments defending these lessons in cultural appropriation, exclusion, and fetishization. In response, D’Souza interrogates the ethical limitations of freedom,and brilliantly presents all sides of these moral arguments without slipping into an #AllSidesMatter perspective. Rather, she puts her own privilege at risk by applying her intimate knowledge and power of observation to rewrite art history through a broader lens. She adopts a clear stance as ally, defender of truth, and witness who—by her own confession—“strays from journalist to partisan to historian to protester,” as the book unfolds.

D’Souza disclaims her evolving editorial stance early on, characterizing it as a symptom of her shifting intimacy with the key players, institutions and protests that comprise each act. In “Act 1: Open Casket, Whitney Biennial, 2017,” she recounts a series of heated,


On Whiteness was the exhibition arm of the Biennial, a collaboration between The Kitchen—a veteran and vanguard in cross-disciplinary experimentation—and TRII, a budding, interdisciplinary cultural laboratory founded by poet and MacArthur fellow Claudia Rankine. As part of a larger matrix of initiatives—including an artist residency, symposium, film series, book club, and listening room at partner sites including 47 Canal, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Drawing Center, Recess, and the Queens Museum to name a few—the exhibition served as a flashpoint, sending the embers of heated debates on art and identity politics back into the air. Despite the near half-century between the respective foundings of these organizations, it is clear that the need to hold space for “an interdisciplinary range of artists, writers, knowledge-producers, and activists,” to joinand periphery—actor and witness—was stunningly captured in blown glass, a relatively new medium for the celebrated painter who is known for the unique ways he, “cuts, bends, sculpts and mixes the work of Classic and Renaissance painters, creating formal games and new tales between fiction and quotation. 7A Pillow for Fragile Fictions (2016), Kaphar placed a transparent bust of George Washington—containing traces of molasses, rum, lime and tamarind—atop a marble, pillow-shaped base. At the time of Washington’s presidency, these rations amounted to the cost of a black life or the ingredients for Colonial decadence, however, in their current configuration, they become poetic allegories for white fragility.

A feat in collaboration and participation, On Whiteness brought together an impressive chorus of voices across perspectives, mediums, and areas of expertise. Organized


portraits are clustered together amidst vast landscape portraits as if to balance the weight of—and collapse the distance between—the part and the whole.

As the titles suggests, the artworks in this exhibition ebb and flow around notions of homecoming and deliverance, each creating sacred space in which to anchor shared explorations of Diasporic consciousness, cultural inheritance, and ancestral debt. As a transnational, multi-disciplinary artist interrogating the complexities of global citizenship, Boswell embraces technology to help navigate various states of being, becoming, and belonging. From a video installation of her body adrift at sea—whose position on the floor demands a posture of reverence from its viewers—to the immersive and undulating waves of spoken word soundscapes that surround it, Boswell translates digital language into a raw, analog, and fluid aesthetic thatof water whilst recalling the historic traumas water holds, such as the Middle passage and other sad freedoms, visualized in moments where the artist transcends and abandons her own body at the contemplative space between land and sea. Like all of us, water is in a constant state of becoming, and possesses the innate quality of constant change—it freezes, clusters, flows, steams, and ripples in response to its environment. Here, Boswell summons water as a superpower to freeze her pain, buoy her spirit, and flood the dams of her emotional blocks.

Boswell’s biography reads, “Although Boswell was born in Nairobi, she was brought up in the Arabian Gulf. Growing up as an expatriate, she reveals that she felt, ‘amputated from Kenya, in a way,’ admitting, ‘I do not exist


which strikes a delicate balance between trust and vulnerability, patience and impulse—Bass distilled the experience into a set of aesthetically minimal yet striking diptychs. you + me together (2015) pairs Polaroids with texts that describe the exact moment when something happened between the artist and the stranger that resembled intimacy. Here, Bass hones her unique intuition and ability to remain present as a craft, exposing the idiosyncratic skills we carry into social interactions, and celebrating the unparalleled self-discovery that comes from our readings of those around us.

Chapter Two—like the other even chapters in the exhibition—serves as a homecoming: a return to the self, where ideas tested out in the world are further unpacked and augmented through in-depth, local research. After returning to New York from Cleveland, Bass recalls,other end of the tape measure. The bashful blushing and maniacal laughter this piece produces as participants land face to face with the artist speak to another premise put forth by Bass—that the spectrum between private and public, personal and communal, is not only delineated in our social behaviors and by our shared spaces, but is held within our bodies as emotions and impulses too.

In Chapters Six and Seven, Bass steers her prompts—and her penchant for play—toward abstraction. The Four Phases of Love (2017), four square digital prints, depict diagrams of mounds of spices configured on a plate to symbolically map the love story between an individual and a cultural or social institution. Bass asserts, “Smell and taste are important evocations of experience that humans rely on. I
