Happy Birthday Ella Fitzgerald
Filed under: Art, Beauty, Blues, Entertainment, Music — 3 Comments
” Ella Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996), also known as the “First Lady of Song“, “Queen of Jazz“, and “Lady Ella”, was an American jazz vocalist with a vocal range spanning three octaves (D♭3 to D♭6). She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a “horn-like” improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
Fitzgerald was a notable interpreter of the Great American Songbook. Over the course of her 59-year recording career, she sold 40 million copies of her 70-plus albums, won 13 Grammy Awards and was awarded the National Medal of Arts by Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George H. W. Bush.”
” Fitzgerald was born in Newport News, Virginia, the daughter of William and Temperance “Tempie” Fitzgerald. The pair separated soon after her birth, and Ella and her mother went to Yonkers, New York, where they eventually moved in with Tempie’s longtime boyfriend, Joseph Da Silva. Fitzgerald’s half-sister, Frances Da Silva, was born in 1923. She and her family were Methodists and were active in the Bethany African Methodist Episcopal Church, and she regularly attended worship services, Bible study, and Sunday School.
In her youth, Fitzgerald wanted to be a dancer, although she loved listening to jazz recordings by Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby and The Boswell Sisters. She idolized the lead singer Connee Boswell, later saying, “My mother brought home one of her records, and I fell in love with it….I tried so hard to sound just like her.”
” In 1932, her mother died from a heart attack. Following this trauma, Fitzgerald’s grades dropped dramatically, and she frequently skipped school. Abused by her stepfather, she ran away to her aunt and, at one point, worked as a lookout at a bordello and also with a Mafia-affiliated numbers runner. When the authorities caught up with her, she was first placed in the Colored Orphan Asylum in Riverdale, Bronx. However, when the orphanage proved too crowded, she was moved to the New York Training School for Girls in Hudson, New York, a state reformatory. Eventually she escaped and for a time was homeless.”
” She made her singing debut at 17 on November 21, 1934, at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. She pulled in a weekly audience at the Apollo and won the opportunity to compete in one of the earliest of its famous “Amateur Nights”. She had originally intended to go on stage and dance, but, intimidated by the Edwards Sisters, a local dance duo, she opted to sing instead in the style of Connee Boswell. She sang Boswell’s “Judy” and “The Object of My Affection,” a song recorded by the Boswell Sisters, and won the first prize of US$ 25.00.
In January 1935, Fitzgerald won the chance to perform for a week with the Tiny Bradshaw band at the Harlem Opera House. She met drummer and bandleader Chick Webb there. Webb had already hired singer Charlie Linton to work with the band and was, The New York Times later wrote, “reluctant to sign her….because she was gawky and unkempt, a diamond in the rough.” Webb offered her the opportunity to test with his band when they played a dance at Yale University.”
” She began singing regularly with Webb’s Orchestra through 1935 at Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom. Fitzgerald recorded several hit songs with them, including “Love and Kisses” and “(If You Can’t Sing It) You’ll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini)“. But it was her 1938 version of the nursery rhyme, “A-Tisket, A-Tasket“, a song she co-wrote, that brought her wide public acclaim.
Chick Webb died on June 16, 1939, and his band was renamed “Ella and her Famous Orchestra” with Ella taking on the role of nominal bandleader. Fitzgerald recorded nearly 150 songs with the orchestra before it broke up in 1942, “the majority of them novelties and disposable pop fluff”.”
Rising Jazz Star
” Going out on her own, Ella Fitzgerald landed a deal with Decca Records. She recorded some hit songs with the Ink Spots and Louis Jordan in the early 1940s. Fitzgerald also made her film debut in 1942’s comedy western Ride ‘Em Cowboy with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Her career really began to take off in 1946 when she started working with Norman Granz. Granz orchestrated the Jazz at the Philharmonic, which was a series of concerts and live records featuring most of the genre’s great performers. Fitzgerald also hired Granz to become her manager.”
” Around this time, Fitzgerald went on tour with Dizzy Gillespie and his band. She started changing her singing style, incorporating scat singing during her performances with Gillespie. Fitzgerald also fell in love with Gillespie’s bass player Ray Brown. The pair wed in 1947, and they adopted a child born to Fitzgerald’s half-sister whom they named Raymond “Ray” Brown Jr. The marriage ended in 1952.”
The 1950s and ’60s proved to be a time of critical and commercial success for Fitzgerald. She even earned the moniker “The First Lady of Song” for her mainstream popularity and unparalleled vocal talents. Her unique ability to mimicking instrumental sounds helped popularize the vocal improvisation of “scatting” which became her signature technique.”
” In 1955, Fitzgerald began recording for Granz’s newly created Verve Records. She made some of her most popular albums for Verve, starting out with 1956’s Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book. Two years later, Fitzgerald picked up her first two Grammy Awards for two later songbook projects—Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book and Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book. She actually worked directly with Ellington on that album.”
” A truly collaborative soul, Fitzgerald produced great recordings with such artists as Louis Armstrong and Count Basie. She also performed several times with Frank Sinatra over the years as well. In 1960, Fitzgerald actually broke into the pop charts with her rendition of “Mack the Knife.” She was still going strong well into the ’70s, playing concerts across the globe. One especially memorable concert series from this time was a two-week engagement in New York City in 1974 with Frank Sinatra and Count Basie.”
Worldwide Recognition
” Ella continued to work as hard as she had early on in her career, despite the ill effects on her health. She toured all over the world, sometimes performing two shows a day in cities hundreds of miles apart. In 1974, Ella spent a legendary two weeks performing in New York with Frank Sinatra and Count Basie. Still going strong five years later, she was inducted into the Down Beat magazine Hall of Fame, and received Kennedy Center Honors for her continuing contributions to the arts.”
” Outside of the arts, Ella had a deep concern for child welfare. Though this aspect of her life was rarely publicized, she frequently made generous donations to organizations for disadvantaged youths, and the continuation of these contributions was part of the driving force that prevented her from slowing down. Additionally, when Frances died, Ella felt she had the additional responsibilities of taking care of her sister’s family.
In 1987, United States President Ronald Reagan awarded Ella the National Medal of Arts. It was one of her most prized moments. France followed suit several years later, presenting her with their Commander of Arts and Letters award, while Yale, Dartmouth and several other universities bestowed Ella with honorary doctorates.”
” In September of 1986, Ella underwent quintuple coronary bypass surgery. Doctors also replaced a valve in her heart and diagnosed her with diabetes, which they blamed for her failing eyesight. The press carried rumors that she would never be able to sing again, but Ella proved them wrong. Despite protests by family and friends, including Norman, Ella returned to the stage and pushed on with an exhaustive schedule.”
” By the 1990s, Ella had recorded over 200 albums. In 1991, she gave her final concert at New York’s renowned Carnegie Hall. It was the 26th time she performed there.
As the effects from her diabetes worsened, 76-year-old Ella experienced severe circulatory problems and was forced to have both of her legs amputated below the knees. She never fully recovered from the surgery, and afterward, was rarely able to perform. During this time, Ella enjoyed sitting outside in her backyard, and spending time with Ray, Jr. and her granddaughter Alice. “I just want to smell the air, listen to the birds and hear Alice laugh,” she said.
On June 15, 1996, Ella Fitzgerald died in her Beverly Hills home. Hours later, signs of remembrance began to appear all over the world. A wreath of white flowers stood next to her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a marquee outside the Hollywood Bowl theater read, “Ella, we will miss you.”
After a private memorial service, traffic on the freeway was stopped to let her funeral procession pass through. She was laid to rest in the “Sanctuary of the Bells” section of the Sunset Mission Mausoleum at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. “

What to Look For in Tesla Earnings Report
When Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) reports third-quarter earnings after markets close Tuesday, the company is expected to post a net loss of $0.50 a share on revenues of $1.26 billion, slightly worse than the second-quarter loss of $0.48 per share.
The key for Tesla is producing and delivering its Model S sedans and Model X crossovers. The Model X will make little difference to third-quarter deliveries, but analysts and investors are going to want to hear good news about ramping up production of the new model.
Tesla has said it wants to deliver at least 50,000 cars in 2015, and 55,000 or more would be even better. The company has announced a preliminary total of 33,157 vehicles sold in the first three quarters of this year, leaving more than 16,800 needing to roll off the assembly line in the fourth quarter in order to reach the 50,000 mark. The math does not seem to be in Tesla’s favor.
Some recent analyst action has been lukewarm:
Robert Baird reiterated a Hold rating and price target of $282.
JPMorgan reiterated an Underweight rating and raised its price target from $178 to $180.
Barclays downgraded the stock to Sell.
S&P Equity Research upgrade the stock from Sell to Hold and put on a price target of $225.
The stock traded down about 0.7% at $212.24 Tuesday afternoon, in a 52-week range of $181.40 to $286.65. The consensus price target on the stock is $289.19, and the high target is $450.00.

Home Event Listings Art Exhibition: “Extended Realities”
Exhibition: “Extended Realities”
Tues to Sun 04 – 25 Sep 2020, 10:00 am – 07:00 pm
Manzi Exhibition Space, No. 2 Ngõ Hàng Bún, Ba Đình, Hà Nội
From Manzi:
Manzi Art Space and the Goethe Institut are pleased to present “Extended Realities” – a group exhibition featuring works from five contemporary artists of Vietnam: Võ Trân Châu, Nguyễn Huy An, Phan Thảo Nguyên, Nguyễn Trinh Thi and Trương Công Tùng.
Through a minimalist installation, a video art piece, an ephemeral installation and a series of 10 multimedia paintings, “Extended Realities” examines how the artists are working with ideas of time, memory and history.
Drawing from literature, philosophy and daily life, artist Phan Thảo Nguyen observes ambiguous issues in social conventions and history. Nguyên’s work ‘Hunger Thread’ is part of her personal interpretation of the rarely discussed 1945 famine in Vietnam. This ephemeral installation consists of hundreds of raw jute balls scattered throughout the exhibition space. These jute balls can be blown away by the wind or kicked or stepped on by the viewers. In this work, the artist proposes a more nuanced approach to personal and historical tragedies using a new perspective on history and narration, and an artistic medium. Meanwhile, artist Võ Trân Châu recreates collective memories via her embroidery and mosaic artworks depicting long gone architectural structures or historical figures, in an attempt to access obscured or unwritten histories of Vietnam.
In contrast with Châu and Thảo Nguyên, artist Trương Công Tùng considers time as one medium for his series of paintings ‘The time of passing shadows (1 2 3 4…)’. In this intriguing series, Tùng sets out a layered narrative of time that is coherent yet tacitly perplexing, with images and information interleaved with fact and fiction
Time and history are always central themes in Nguyễn Huy An’s research. In this exhibition, Huy An presents a minimalist installation entitled ‘Exercise No. 2’ which forms part of his ongoing project inspired by the undeniable significance of Lenin as a political figure in the history of the country. The work is created following the artist’s study of the changing shadows of a public sculpture of Lenin over the course of one day, according to the time and position of the sun.
Nguyễn Trinh Thi’s practice as a moving image artist has consistently engaged with memory and history, and her work ‘Eleven Men’ is no exception. ‘Eleven Men’ is composed of scenes from a range of Vietnamese classic narrative films featuring the same central actress, Nhu Quynh. Spanning three decades of her legendary acting career, this multilayered work has created a personal connection with and contemplation of the complicated history of Vietnam.
“Extended Realities” will open from 04 to 26 Sep 2020 at Manzi, No. 2 Ngõ Hàng Bún. Admission in free.
Please note: In light of the current Coronavirus developments, we can only accommodate a maximum of 10 visitors per time slot at the exhibition. Visitors are requested to wear mask and wash hands before coming in.
The exhibition is part of Manzi’s Art Programme supported by the Goethe Institut.
Communications partners: Hanoi Grapevine
Born in 1982 in Hanoi and graduated from the Vietnam Fine Art University in 2008, Nguyen Huy An is considered one of the most dynamic and innovative artists of his generation. Huy An’s work has been a process of trying to dig into the darkness of psychology. Most of his projects have been underpinned by an obsession with memory and the complexities of a pessimistic perspective. From installations, performance art to paintings and sculptures, Huy An’s works are highly acclaimed by international art critics and curators for their introspective, simple and strong concepts.
Huy An has participated in a number of exhibitions and performance art festivals including “Âm Sáng”, Galerie Quynh, Vietnam (2019); Calculus Exercise #6/5, Manzi Art Space, Vietnam (2018); 78 Rhythms, Galerie Quynh, Vietnam (2014); Disrupted Choreographies, Carré d’Art – Musée d’Art Contemporain, Nimes, France (2014); If The World Changed, Singapore Biennale (2013); Sounds of Dust (somniloquy), 943 Studio Kunming, China (2011) among others.
Nguyễn Trinh Thi is a Hanoi-based moving image artist. Her diverse practice, transcending the boundaries between cinema, documentary and performance, has consistently engaged with memory and history. Her works have been shown at international festivals and art exhibitions including Asia Pacific Triennial (Brisbane, 2018), Sydney Biennale 2018; Jeu de Paume, Paris; CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux; the Lyon Biennale 2015; Asian Art Biennial 2015, Taiwan; Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial 2014; and Singapore Biennale 2013.
Born to a family of traditional embroiderers, Võ Trân Châu understands the power and materiality of threads and fabrics, and chooses textiles, particularly found fabrics and second-hand clothing, as materials for her artistic practice. By deploying these materials, imbued with their own personal stories, Châu portrays how strongly history reflects on the grand narrative of nation states and society. She delves into the social and cultural history of Vietnam to highlight issues surrounding labor, consumption and waste.
Châu’s selected exhibitions include: “Leaf Picking in the Ancient Forest” (The Factory Contemporary Arts Center, 2020); “Where The Sea Remembers” (The Mistake Room, Los Angeles, CA, USA, 2019); “Unfolding: Fabric of Our Life” (Centre for Heritage, Art & Textile (CHAT)/MILL6, Hong Kong, 2019); “Bodies Survey(ed)” (Sàn Art, HCMC, Vietnam, 2018); “Lingering at the Peculiar Pavillon” (Manzi Art Space, Hanoi & Salon Saigon, HCMC, 2017); “The Foliage” (VCCA, Hanoi, Vietnam, 2017); “Still (the) Barbarians” (EVA International: Ireland’s Biennial of Contemporary Art, Limerick, Ireland, 2016); “Suzhou Documents” (Suzhou Art Museum, Suzhou, China, 2016).
Trained as a painter, Phan Thảo Nguyên is a multimedia artist whose practice encompasses video, painting and installation. Drawing from literature, philosophy and daily life, Nguyên observes ambiguous issues in social conventions and history. She started working in film when she began her MFA in Chicago. Nguyên exhibits internationally, with solo and group exhibitions including WIELS (Brussels, 2020), Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai, 2019); Lyon Biennale (Lyon, 2019); Sharjah Biennial (Sharjah Art Foundation, 2019); Gemäldegalerie (Berlin, 2018); Dhaka Art Summit (2018); Para Site (Hong Kong, 2018); Factory Contemporary Art Centre (Ho Chi Minh City, 2017); Nha San Collective (Hanoi, 2017); and Bétonsalon (Paris, 2016).
Nguyên is a 2016-2017 Rolex Protégée, mentored by internationally acclaimed, New York-based, performance and video artist, Joan Jonas and in 2019, she was shortlisted for the Hugo Boss Asia Art Award.
In addition to her work as a multimedia artist, she is co-founder of the collective Art Labor, which explores cross disciplinary practices and develops art projects that benefit the local community.
Born in 1986, Trương Công Tùng grew up in Dak Lak among various ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands, Vietnam. He graduated from the Ho Chi Minh Fine Arts University in 2010, majoring in lacquer painting. With research interests in science, cosmology and philosophy, Trương Công Tùng works with a range of media, including video, installation, painting and found objects, which reflect personal contemplations on the cultural and geopolitical shifts of modernization, as embodied in the morphing ecology, belief or mythology of a land. He is also a member of Art Labor (founded in 2012), a collective working between visual art and social/life sciences to produce alternative non-formal knowledge via artistic and cultural activities in various public contexts and locales.
Trương Công Tùng has exhibited extensively in Vietnam and abroad as a solo artist and as part of Art Labor Collective. Select recent exhibitions include Bangkok Art Biennale (2018), “Between Fragmentation and Wholeness” at Galerie Quynh in Ho Chi Minh City (2018), “A Beast, a God, and a Line” at Para Site, Hong Kong (2018) and Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (2018), Dhaka Art Summit, Dhaka (2018), Carnegie International 57th edition at Carnegie Museum of Art (2018), Cosmopolis at the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2017).

Economists set the course for...
Economists set the course for a self-reflective debate
Posted on 21/07/2014 11/06/2015 by Christian Schumacher
What makes a good economist? 6 Nobel Laureates and 8 young economists give answers.
What is this world going to look like in 50 years – I’m worried and it ought to be a major concern of the profession.
Robert Shiller is one of six “Nobel Economists” featured in the two short films we produced in eager anticipation of the 5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences coming up in just a month’s time: 19-23 August 2014. 18 laureates of the “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel” will meet with more than 450 aspiring young economists from more than 80 countries. Shiller was awarded the 2013 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences jointly with Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen for their empirical analysis of asset prices. Unlike Joseph Stiglitz, Peter Diamond, Edmund Phelps, and many other renowned laureates, Robert Shiller will unfortunately not be able to participate in the 2014 Lindau Meeting himself. But by expressing his views in our films he has already joined a central debate with the next generation of leading scientists. “A sense of what’s really important for us to understand…”; “creativity – in order to be able to think of interesting questions…”; “someone who knows how to answer questions…”; “a good economist should have a very strong sense of responsibility…”. These are just a few quotes from the self-reflective debate that started with this video and is likely to shape the 5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences. Enjoy watching and continue the debate – also on Twitter, #lindauecon14!
The bad news is economists don’t know enough. The good news to the new generation is there’s more work to do – economics is not finished. Roger B. Myerson

Bodrum City Tour
The castle was built by the Knights of St. John between 1402 and 1409. After being defeated in Symrna (The ancient name of Izmir), the Knights came to Halikarnassos and began the construction of the castle. Unknowingly, they used many stones from the great tomb of Mausolus. Today on the walls of the castle you can see lots of stones from Mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The fortifications of the castle consisted of walls to which ramparts and central towers were added.Also there are five towers; The French, Italian Spainish, German and English. The French Tower stands at the highest point of the complex, 48 meters above sea level.

Today the castle’s rooms are used as a museum where finds from the Bronze Age, Mycenaean, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine period are exhibited. The castle also houses the largest underwater archeological museum in Turkey. It is one of the few of its kind in the world. The reconstruction of a ship-wreck the museum itself is worth a visit.
Mausolus was the ruler of the Caria Kingdom between 377 and 353 BC, he made Halikarnassos its capital. Then he enclosed his new capital with a huge wall. He also adorned the city with splendid edifices, the most famous of which was the Mausoleum which he designed as a great Carian shrine dedicated to himself. His sister-wife Artemisia completed it after he died during her own reign.It was so beautiful that it became one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. ( The other six wonders were the Pyramids of Egypt, the Lighthouse at Alexandria, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Hanging gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Artemis Temple. at Ephesus. )
The architects of the monumental tomb were Pythius and Satyrus. From south to north it was 63 feet wide and it was surrounded by 36 columns. The funeral chamber itself was 8 by 9 meters and about 2 meters high.
Today you can see the cleared platform and some of the finds from the magnificent Mausoleum. The stones were used for the construction of the castle and some parts of the tomb are exhibited at the British Museum in London, England.
THE AMPHI THEATER
The hillside theater that dates from the 4th century BC was built to seat 10.000 people.When rediscovered, it was not in very good condition and therefore has been recently restored. The view of the town from there is beautiful.

Wednesday marks one week since a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida – ...
Wednesday marks one week since a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida – taking 17 lives.
Now, the president of the Portland Association of Teachers has a strong message about gun violence.
Last week's shooting is intensely personal to her, as she graduated from that Florida high school.
"I don't think everyone understands what it's like to hide in a closet, barricade your door and prepare for an active shooter," said Suzanne Cohen.
For 15 years, Cohen was a teacher to Portland students.
"This generation is a mass shooting generation," she said.
Active school shooter drills became the normal, she says, both for her and her middle school students.
"There are questions like, what do I do, do I have to wait for you, and you're like, no you run, you save yourself," said Cohen.
One week ago, teenagers in Florida were doing just that, at Cohen's very own high school.
"I was a graduating class of 1994," she said.
Cohen says this mass shooting in her own hometown struck a nerve.
"I don't know how to explain it except I know that I need to take charge of these feelings I'm having," she said.
Cohen represents more than 4,000 educators in Portland. She is the president of the Portland Association of Teachers, and this president has a new purpose: to end gun violence at school.
"We can no longer pretend that gun control isn't an issue for education," Cohen said.
Most of Cohen's inspiration to speak out comes from these students.
"As kids who've grown up watching us adults accept these tragedies, I'm so proud of them for not accepting it," she said. "It's really very inspiring."
On Wednesday, survivors of the Parkland shooting got loud at the state capitol in Florida, calling for a ban on assault weapons.
"I'm not here for a fight. I'm not here to argue with you," said survivor Ryan Deitsch. "I just want to speak. I just want to see your face and know why!"
And in Washington D.C., more students are demanding change. Inside the walls of the White House, there was a listening session with President Donald Trump and victims of gun violence.
"It should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it," said Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was killed in Florida shooting. "And I'm pissed, because my daughter… I'm not going to see again. She's not here."
President Trump then made the suggestion of arming teachers.
"It's called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them. They'd go for special training," he said.
Cohen said it's not a solution.
"As long as we're crouching in closets and practicing locking our doors, we've got a problem, and that's what needs addressing," she said.

YUPP talks social justice
Eleanor Runde 2:01 am, Feb 25, 2014
Last night, the Afro-American Cultural Center hosted a discussion on a new social justice project called We Are All Criminals.
The event, which was organized by the Yale Undergraduate Prison Project (YUPP), centered on We Are All Criminals, a one-person project started by Emily Baxter, who spoke at the event.
The project is a series of interviews conducted by Baxter in which anonymous individuals reflect on getting away with committing crimes, and how their lives would be different if they had to live with the label of ‘felon’.
Baxter informed the audience that more than 25 percent of Americans have criminal records. The total number of people with felonies on their records has skyrocketed over the past 50 years, from approximately two million to 20 million individuals.
Baxter highlighted the disadvantages that come with having a felony on one’s record. Housing and job opportunities are some of the most limited areas for these individuals, according to Baxter, 87 percent of all employers conduct criminal history reports. Job applications with the “felony” box checked are often immediately discarded, she said.
To raise awareness about the potential ramifications about having a felony on one’s record, Baxter has gone on a series of drives through her home state, Minnesota, and has conducted over 200 interviews with people who do not have criminal records, but have committed crimes in the past. Her project began with emails to family and friends that were passed on throughout the community, asking this question: “What have you done that you have had the luxury to forget?” Baxter wants to remind people that everyone has done something that they are not proud of.
“Everyone needs a second chance,” Baxter said in her presentation. “We need to break down the dichotomy of ‘us versus them,’ ‘clean versus criminal.’”
After Baxter’s presentation, three panelists spoke about their involvement with the movement to end or reform mass incarceration. Barbara Fair, a community organizer in New Haven and founder of the organization My Brother’s Keeper, stressed that current policies have disproportionately impacted minorities.
Kristi Lockhart, a psychology professor at Yale, said prisons have no incentive to shorten sentences; because prisons are often run by private corporations, they are incentivized to lengthen sentences instead. George Chochos DIV ’16, the third panelist, spoke about the need to support criminals in their re-entry into society after time in prison.
The event ended with a discussion of how students could make a difference.
“The first step for students is to get educated,” Fair said.
Representative Gary Holder-Winfield, who is currently running for a Senate seat in Connecticut attended the talk. He said students can also get involved in policy, naming three bills to which students should pay attention: a police in schools initiative, a reformation of school drug zoning and a bill regarding juvenile justice sentence review.
Nia Holston ’14, an organizer for the event and member of YUPP, said that part of the solution is changing the way students speak about felons in everyday language in order to reduce the stigma surrounding felony convictions.
Charlotte Feingold ’17 said she came to the event because she is involved in policy research on juvenile justice.
“People don’t think that anything like this could go down at Yale,” Feingold said. “But frankly, there’s illegal drug possession going on as we speak.”
Baxter said she hopes her project will spur movements around the nation.
Funding for the event came from the Social Justice Network, BSAAY, and UOC, said Holston.


Kato Drys is located to the south-west of the city of Larnaka. Is stands in the middle of three cities, Nicosia, Larnaka and Limassol. It is built at an altitude of about 520 meters above sea level. The hilly terrain of the village with its narrow, deep valleys is intersected by the Saint Minas River. There are two interpretations as to how the village got its name. The first says that the village got its name from the many ‘Dryes’ (oak trees). A second interpretation says that many years ago there were two villages, Pano Drys and Kato Drys (Upper and Lower Drys) with a large Oaktree standing between the two. Kato Drys has a rich history and interesting architecture, flora and fauna with perfect cool dry climate in summer and a mild winter. The occupation of most of the village inhabitants is raising stock and, to a limited degree agriculture. Today great tracks of land in the village have been planted with various wine-making varieties of grapes, providing occupation to many of the village’s inhabitants. The village has the biggest vineyard of Larnaka region of α total area of 150 hectares.

Barnbougle Castle
Dalmeny, United Kingdom
Barnbougle Castle is a much-altered tower house on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It lies within the Earl of Rosebery's estate, just northwest of Dalmeny House. Although its history goes back to the 13th century, the present castle is the result of rebuilding in 1881 by the 5th Earl of Rosebery, who served as Prime Minister from 1894–1895.
The castle is built on a projecting rock terrace. It incorporates some of the fabric of the original castle on the north and east sides, but is mainly a late-nineteenth century construction. There are three storeys and an attic; the building is rubble, dressed with ashlar sandstone. Features include crowstep gables, bartizans (small turrets) with water spouts on the two western corners, and a crenellated parapet. A 2.4-metre high obelisk sundial stands in the castle garden, having been moved there in 1890.

“The energy and charge of the music cast its spell on every one of us in the audience...”
“You gave the performance of a lifetime...”
“The Deadly Nightshade sidles into the song -- sly, back-alley, side-street truckin’ music with the hint of burlesque gum-popping, hip-swaying strut and flounce... ”
The Deadly Nightshade Band
- one of the nation’s first all-female bands
The Deadly Nightshade is a New England-based, all-female band consisting of musicians Pamela Brandt, Anne Bowen and Helen Hooke. As one of the first outspokenly feminist women’s rock bands in the United States, our musical repertoire (and attitude) has expanded over the years to encompass rock, soul, kick-ass country/bluegrass, and whatever else makes us and our audiences feel good.
Our Vibe...
The Deadly Nightshade is a drummerless but very danceable high-energy female band playing our own original songs as well as covers and requests. Don’t let the violin fool you... we're electric... very; we play loud. But we also play with listeners' minds, contrasting direct, gutsy instrumentals with unexpectedly complex, melodic (and hey, even pretty sometimes) three-part harmonies.
Our History...
Since our first go-round in 1972 to 1978 — when we went from a Western Massachusetts bar band, to national tours with the likes of Billy Joel, not to mention two mainstream albums — several newer musical bands have adopted our name.* But make no mistake: we’re the ONLY grammy-nominated, all-female, “The Deadly Nightshade” band you’ll find in the Smithsonian Institution, in the archives of the Country Music Hall of Fame, AND in the Sophia Smith Collection of Women’s History (now there’s a combo for ya...).
While all these years have naturally aged us, they never once mellowed us.
These other bands include an Italian death-metal Deadly Nightshade
(without the vital "The" which, we feel, makes the name way funny),
and the Australian Deadly Nightshades – like us, a trio; unlike us, acoustic.
We’re The Deadly Nightshade Band

Pamela Robin Brandt
It is with deep sadness and utmost sorrow
that we announce the loss of Pamela,
suddenly and unexpectedly,
of a massive heart attack in her home
on Sunday August 2.
We started playing music together in 1967.
It is incomprehensible to us that we
cannot do that any more.
Light a candle for her and listen:

Central Dauphin wrestler Josh Miller puts total focus on senior season after making commitment to Air Force
Central Dauphin's Josh Miller wins the 126 pound District 3 class 3A wrestling championship with a 9-5 decision over Cole Wilson, Northeastern, at Spring Grove High School, Feb. 22, 2020. Mark Pynes | mpynes@pennlive.com
By Dustin Hockensmith | dhockensmith@pennlive.com
Central Dauphin wrestler Josh Miller had fallen into unknown and uncertain territory as part of a senior class facing a unique struggle through a pandemic. Miller proved last postseason that he deserved an opportunity to compete at the next level, but he wasn’t alone in finding those chances to be much fewer and further between.
College visits weren’t possible and rosters were stocked with veterans who were back with an extra year of eligibility, but Miller waited it out and found the perfect fit. He gave his commitment to the Air Force Academy in late December and got that monkey off his back just in time for his senior season.
That door is exactly the kind Miller hoped wrestling could open for him when he got started as a kid. He’s a “3.9 or 4.0 GPA student,” coach Jeff Sweigard said, but found that wrestling still held the key.
“It’s a great opportunity,” Miller said. “Kids have spent all their high school year trying to get in and still don’t get in, and I got in easily.”
Miller said he was “pulled in” by a Zoom call with Air Force and committed shortly after, which brings a much-needed sense of peace for a shortened and chaotic senior season ahead.
Miller is a returning sectional and District 3 champion at 126 pounds and a fifth-place state medalist who wrestled his way onto the podium at the PIAA championships on an injured knee.
The whole season could be considered a breakout for Miller, but his biggest moment perhaps came in the District 3 finals, when he won a 9-5 decision over Northeastern’s Cole Wilson. That result was a total shift from Wilson’s 16-8 major decision win over Miller earlier in the year.
Sweigard hinted that Miller’s best wrestling is still ahead of him, too, which is what he told colleges when he made calls on Miller’s behalf. Sweigard said he got a message from Air Force, left a message for the coaches, and found out Miller had committed 48 hours later.
“I think Air Force Academy is going to be good for him,” Sweigard said. “I can see him fitting in wherever he goes because he’s just that kind of kid. He loves to wrestle. He’s friendly. He puts the time in. He’s got to back off on wrestling like he’s behind by five all the time. The fans like it. The coaches don’t.”
Miller can take that feedback and apply with a little less pressure on him this season. His longer-term future is mapped out, and now it’s all about preparing for his deepest postseason run yet.
“I’ve just got to keep working hard, and now I know what I’m doing for college,” Miller said. “I don’t have to worry about that. I can just focus now.”


This Data Visualization Tool Shines A Light On Money And Politics
Holding individual politicians to account in an age of big data should be more than possible. It should be trivially easy. The basic challenge is surfacing salient details amid ongoing noise — which is exactly where technology tools can shine.
Robust local news media, which traditionally played the scrutinizing role, has undoubtedly been weakened by the Internet. Which is why Solomon Kahn, who runs Paperless Post’s data team during the day, is building (and crowdfunding) a data visualization tool for U.S. political campaign contributions — to make it easier to follow the money to identify any corrupting influences on federal politicians.
He wants it to be a tool for journalists, as well as a way for the U.S. public to more easily understand their political representative’s corporate/union interests. He’s aiming for each politician tracked by the tool to have an overview landing page where salient details about how they finance their political campaign are surfaced. Users will be able to submit any notable details they discover — so he’s also looking to foster and host crowdsourced reportage on the platform. Very cool.
The tool, which is still in development at this point (and which Kahn plans to open source), offers an overview of proportional donations flowing to an individual politician by industry sector over time, as well as letting users drill down to inspect specific donations — to make it easier to identify things like patterns of donations coming from employees of a single company. All of which can then be cross-referenced with a politician’s voting record.
“I was looking for a side project where I could use my data skills to do something good for the world. I thought that money in politics was a big problem, and also an area with a lot of data, but not a lot of visibility by the public or reporters, as to what was really going on. I figured I would take a shot at building something, and it turned out much better than I expected!” says Kahn, explaining the genesis of the project.
The tool, which he’s called Explore Campaign Finance, uses a cleaned up form of the data outputted by the Federal Election Commission, from an organization called OpenSecrets. It has campaign contribution data on more than 24,000 federal politicians over the past 25 years.
“People have already built some great tools to look at campaign finance data, even though they aren’t as full featured as this. The programming frameworks to make a project like this haven’t been around for so long, and there aren’t that many people who know them. Additionally, if an organization wanted to build a project like this, it would be pretty expensive, and although people are donating money to fight against money in politics, it’s at a different scale than the people who are donating massive amounts of money to politicians,” he adds.
“No single person or media organization could possibly investigate the funding sources of 24,000 federal politicians, but with the help of the internet, we might actually be able to hold every single politician accountable for how they raise money.”
At the time of writing Kahn has almost reached the $15,000 fundraising goal on his Kickstarter campaign. He’s aiming to use the money to pay for the servers to run the tool and for outreach to journalists to get them using the tool as a reporting aid.

Pride of Polmont
Charlotte Bozic attended the premiere of ‘Home: A Philosophy’, performed by inmates at HMYOI Polmont.
I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the performance of ‘Home; A Philosophy’ devised by Jeremy Weller and Mark Traynor of the Grassmarket Project in partnership with Fife College and Creative Scotland, and written and performed by Polmont HMYOI inmates.
According to the invite, the performance and story was based upon the experiences of six young men who think they are free, in fact, they are in prisons everywhere: the prison of their bodies, physically held but most of all, they are held in a prison of their own personal anguish. They search for ‘home’ through love, amongst their friends and in trying to change their lives, find a way to begin again.
The audience included family members, some of whom had made a long journey to be there. It gave an added sense of pride and joy to the afternoon, which I felt privileged to be part of.
After a long wait, which nobody seemed particularly perturbed by, the actors entered the room in high spirits. The sense of trust and goodwill between the young men and their teachers described by Jeremy and Mark was evident; as Jeremy joked: “Sometimes they were the ones doing the directing!”
Another thing that stood out, and was commented on by everyone, was their bravery. To stand up in front of an audience and your peers is daunting at the best of times, but to do it when you’ve never done anything like it before, and have been told that you’d never be capable of doing such a thing, takes a huge amount of courage to screw to the sticking place and not fail.
After their initial shyness, the actors simply shone. Delivery was sometimes mumbled, bursts of laughter were inevitable, but none of it mattered – what captivated us the young men on stage, sharing their lives, hearts, dreams and disappointments.
The format of the play followed the lives of two young men as they were released from Polmont. Both made strong attempts to fit back into civilian life – but as one of them admitted: “No matter how hard I try, I always end up going back and doing the same thing”.
Weaving throughout the narrative were true life accounts from the performers, either relating to their own experiences or those of others. One lad described how six months in Afghanistan had changed his perspective on death; another confided how taking ecstasy had affected his personality. All were honest, and all were deeply moving. I didn’t feel pity, only respect and admiration. These are the young men you read about in the headlines, the ones we’re meant to fear. Yet as flawed as they are (as we all may be) they came across as honest, vulnerable…and very young.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with Positive Prison? Positive Futures…at last week’s youth justice conference. The man I was chatting to had served time and wanted to help others in the same situation. He told me just how hard it is to reintegrate back into the ‘ordinary’ world after serving your sentence. This was echoed by one of the actors, who admitted: “I like the routine that comes with jail. Once you’re out, the buzz of seeing your family and friends wears off…and you get back to your old ways. I like being back (in jail) because I have a routine again.”
Laughter warmed the afternoon, with some wickedly well-timed asides from the actors. A performance by J, a strapping six foot inmate as ‘Sandra’ caused much mirth – particularly amongst his watching family!
It was clear to me that acting gives the young men the chance to be themselves, to act out their frustrations and encourage them to achieve what they didn’t think was possible. When I spoke to Jeremy Weller of the Grassmarket Project, which supports people through transitions in their lives and re-connects disengaged people, he strongly agreed.
“Drama gives the boys a space to let off steam, and vent their feelings,” he explained. “The art is just a framework for everything else, for emotions to be played out. Through this, we’re able to give the boys an opportunity to explore who they really are.”
A buffet followed the play, giving the inmates valuable time to spend with their families and mingle with the audience. One inmate told us how much the drama workshop gave him something to look forward to, another confessed that acting is something he’d like to pursue, and we even got an autograph, signed on a paper plate. The sense of pride in the room was tangible, as families chatted, inmates teased each other and praise was given again and again.
The only reminder that Polmont is a prison came when the order for time up was given, albeit respectfully. As we filed out gratefully from the overheated room, looked forward to feeling the fresh air on our faces, I couldn’t help think of the proud young men who would be returning to their cells. But hopefully, with a sense of achievement and renewed determination.
Perhaps the best words to finish on are from J aka Sandra:
“They say every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future…and I’m looking forward to mine.”

One response to “Pride of Polmont”
Jeremy Weller says:
Hi Charlotte, Thank you for this. I want to put it on to my LINLEDIN PAGE, is that ok? How do i do that? Cheers,

The SCG Test: welcome to our hotspot
If this gives you an odd feeling, it doesn't mean you need a COVID-19 test. But you might need to lie down for a while.
"The decision [to play the third Test in Sydney] is no doubt recognition of the flexibility demonstrated by the SCG, Cricket NSW and the NSW government in saving the recent one-day and T20 international series against India that started the summer of cricket."
It sounds like Peter V'Landys, the chairman of everything in NSW. In fact, it's Tony Shepherd, the chairman of everything else in NSW, but in this instance wearing his Venues NSW hat.

This is the thinking that has threaded negotiations about where the third Test should be played: when Queensland would not provide quarantine for the incoming Indians and Australian players returning from the IPL in October, NSW did and so deserve their reward.
I don't doubt that many other factors were taken into account, foremost public health. And I didn't come down in the last shower. I understand realpolitik. But realpolitik speaks for itself. It doesn't blurt. "We had a full-court press from NSW," Shepherd told The Australian, "government, the SCG, the media - everybody on the same team, all pushing for the Test."
Against such might - sorry, right - what is one or two or 18 new COVID-19 cases around Sydney on Wednesday?
When complications surrounding the Sydney Test started to become acute last week, it was Shepherd's idea to seal off Sydney by playing both the last two Tests there. Brisbane could go jump. Paul Keating would have been proud. Fortunately, the idea was hydroxychloroquined.
To forestall accusations of parochialism, I'm with Victorian sports minister Martin Pakula and MCC chief executive Stuart Fox in wanting Sydney to have its cricket match. The Sydney New Year Test has its own tradition and flavour, perfectly complementing Boxing Day at the MCG. I've been there often enough to appreciate it. The Test summer would be a lesser thing without it.
But the virus doesn't understand this. It doesn't understand lore and history. It doesn't understand justice and reason. It doesn't understand risk and reward. It has only slightly more of a conscience than Donald Trump.
Shepherd himself has had a bit of trouble tracking its virulence. When in April it was first mooted that the AFL would set up hubs in Sydney, he fretted that they would become the new cruise ships. Later, he thought they could be vehicles to showcase the game in NSW (he is also chairman of the Giants).

Later still, he railed against shutdowns. "Stop looking for the easy way out, which is to shut everything down and lock everybody in their homes," he told the AFR in October. "This is nonsense. We've shown we can live with it, we've shown we can effectively conduct business, we've shown with rigorous contact tracing and enforcement protocols, we can protect people."
Elsewhere in the world, they're learning to live with it. Like the UK, where Monday's Manchester City-Everton match was postponed because of 18 newly diagnosed cases and there has been a call to suspend the season immediately for two weeks. "I am 66 years old and the last thing I want to do is catch COVID," said West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce. "I'm very concerned for myself and football in general. If [a break] is what needs to be done, we need to do it."
Like in the US, where the prestigious Indian Wells tennis tournament, set down for March, has already been postponed again.
Like South Africa, where the government has just strengthened a curfew and banned any sort of gathering for two weeks (and where cricket would love to have a crowd to ban). The Australian cricket team is due there in February.
Australia by and large has avoided the world's COVID-19 calamity. It hasn't been by accident. We've been thorough and careful, to some minds timid, to most prudent. We've trusted our governments, who've trusted our public health officials. We trust now that public health advice was at the top of the agenda in the talks about the Sydney Test.
But the fact is that Sydney is tightening its anti-COVID cordon. Scaled down New Year's Eve fireworks, 30 people in an outdoors gathering instead of 50, five instead of 10 at home … but in a week's time at the SCG, oh, I don't know, maybe 50 per cent of capacity, maybe more, but heh, there'll be masks available at the gate. This part of the regime sounds like public health policy on the run, and we in Victoria know how well that works.
It was one thing when the AFL, NRL, netball and women's basketball evacuated hotspots. It's quite another that Cricket Australia is moving its operation into one. Acting chief medical officer Paul Kelly approves of the suite of precautions cricket authorities are implementing around the Sydney Test. But, though a self-acknowledged cricket fanatic, he won't be taking his family.

Saturday’s Eric Church concert isn’t just a hot ticket, it’s likely to go down as one of the largest crowds in Resch Center history.
One of 60-plus stops on his Holdin’ My Own Tour, the show sold out in September quicker than you can say “Mr. Misunderstood.” It was a repeat performance of Church’s last Resch show in 2014, which was also fast to sell out. He was greeted by a crowd of 9,816 that night.
This weekend’s concert is among the early dates on the tour, which launched Jan. 13 in Lincoln, Neb., and has Church on the road without opening acts. Instead, he’s playing two full sets with an intermission; shows have been clocking in at three hours.
Because of the expected large attendance, PMI Entertainment Group, which manages the Resch, is asking fans to arrive early and allow plenty of time to get through security lines.
All patrons and bags will be checked outside the arena doors. Concertgoers are encouraged to travel light to help speed up the process.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. concert.
Only small digital cameras will be allowed in the arena.
Church, who has been adamant about keeping tickets out of the hands of scalpers, used an on-sale process in which fans do not receive their tickets until just days before the concert they’re attending. Fans who elected to get their tickets via mobile device or to print at home won’t receive those notifications until Thursday morning.
For those who picking up tickets at will call, the Resch box office will open at 10 a.m. Saturday for any patrons who wish to get their tickets earlier in the day.

Remembering Allsup at Riverside
The death last week of guitarist Tommy Allsup at age 85 didn’t dominate headlines, but it’s significant to the history of the Winter Dance Party at the Riverside Ballroom.
Allsup was in Buddy Holly’s band on the cold night of the ill-fated tour with Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper) played the Riverside on Feb. 1, 1959. By the time Holly and his entourage, which also included bass player Waylon Jennings, finished their show the next night in Clear Lake, Iowa, seats on a plane Holly chartered for Fargo, N.D., were at a premium. Allsup and Valens flipped a coin for a seat. Allsup lost, putting him back on the bus and not on the plane that crashed in a cornfield outside of Clear Lake, killing Holly, Valens and The Big Bopper.
Allsup, who went on to become a renowned session player, returned to the Riverside in 2008 as a special guest of John Mueller’s annual re-creation of the Winter Dance Party. It was his first time back on that stage in 49 years. Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt presented him with a key to the city and a proclaimed it Tommy Allsup Day in the city.
In an interview with Green Bay Press-Gazette that year, Allsup recalled arriving by train from Duluth, Minn., in 1959 after the tour’s bus broke down in the winter weather.
“I remember Green Bay real well. I remember the night we played it and I remember how cold it was. We got in on a train late that afternoon from up north. I remember when we left the hotel and we came over in this taxi and the bell clerk said, ‘Be sure to put something over your mouth before you go outside and breathe that air.’ It was cold.”
This year’s Winter Dance Party featuring Mueller as Holly is Jan. 27 at the Riverside. Tickets are $30 at the ballroom box office.
‘Bachelor’ at the Paine
The Paine Art Center and Gardens in Oshkosh will be featured on Monday’s episode of “The Bachelor” at 7 p.m. on ABC. The reality show filmed indoor and outdoor scenes at the 1920s mansion on Oct. 7, giving the staff just a single day’s notice before they arrived. About 50 cast and crew members were on site for the shoot, including star and Wisconsin native Nick Viall and his bachelorettes, who all arrived after dark — and, we can only hope, sans the aerosol whipped cream of this week.
Next week’s episode will also feature scenes shot in October at Knigge Farms in Omro.
Ringling Bros. at Resch
A bit of trivia on the heels of last weekend’s news that Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will end its 146-year run in May. The circus was the first family event booked at the Resch Center when it opened in 2002. “The Greatest Show on Earth” was in town for four days during the arena’s grand opening.
It had previously played Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena in 1997, its first Green Bay visit in almost 20 years. Its star attraction at the time was Airiana The Human Arrow, who was billed to travel 60 mph from a 5,000-pound crossbow.
