(And who to go to bed with their Lord, prostrate and standing)
Companion Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
Of peace after dinner rak'ahs or more
Allah has become prostrate and standing…

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
(Whenever heart was far from Allah, the lesions are the fastest.
The more near to Allah, lags about pests, and the dimension of Allah mattresses, some more severe than some:
Vaghafflh heart away from Allah, and after the greatest sin of negligence after,
After Fad greater than after sin, and yet the greatest hypocrisy and polytheism of all).

وبعد البدعة أعظم من بعد المعصية، وبعد النفاق والشرك أعظم

The Citizen's Commission on Benghazi's interim report, in a paragraph titled "Changing sides in the War on Terror," alledges "the U.S. was fully aware of and facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaeda-dominated rebel militias throughout the 2011 CIA-led 'rebellion'."
The report asserted the 'jihadist' (WAHABI) agenda of AQIM, 'the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group' and other WAHABI terrorist groups represented among the (so-called) 'rebel' forces, was well known to U.S. officials responsible for Libyan policy.
"The rebels made no secret of their al-Qaeda affiliation, openly flying and speaking in front of the black flag of Islamic jihad, according to author John Rosenthal and multiple media reports," the interim report said. "And yet, the White House and senior Congressional members deliberately and knowingly pursued a policy that provided material support to terrorist organizations in order to topple a leader who had been working closely with the West actively to suppress al-Qaeda."
The report concluded: "The result in Libya, across much of North Africa, and beyond has been utter chaos, disruption of Libya's oil industry, the spread of dangerous weapons (including surface-to-air missiles), and the empowerment of jihadist organizations like al- Qaeda and the 'Muslim' Brotherhood."
Christopher Stevens: '1st U.S. envoy to al-Qaeda'
In the WND interviews, several members of the citizens' commission, speaking for themselves, not for the commission, added important background to the interim report's conclusion.
"In early 2011, before al-Qathafi was deposed, Christopher Stevens came to Benghazi in a cargo ship, and his title at the time was envoy to the Libyan rebels,' which basically means Christopher Stevens was America's very first envoy to al-Qaeda," explained Clare Lopez, a member of the commission who served as a career operations officer with the CIA and current is vice president for research at the Washington-based 'Center for Security Policy'.
"At that time, Stevens was facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaeda-related militia in Libya," Lopez continued. "The weapons were produced at factories in Eastern Europe and shipped to a logistics hub in Qatar. The weapons were financed by the UAE and delivered via Qatar mostly on ships, with some possibly on airplanes, for delivery to Benghazi. The weapons were small arms, including Kalashnikovs, rocket-propelled grenades and lots of ammunition."
Lopez further explained that during the period of time when Stevens was facilitating the delivery of weapons to the al-Qaeda-affiliated militia in Libya, he was living in the facility that was later designated the 'Special Mission Compound' in Benghazi.
"This was about weapons going into Libya, and Stevens is coordinating with Abdul-Hakim Belhadj, the leader of the 'Libyan Islamic Fighting Group', other al-Qaeda-affiliated militia leaders and leaders of the Libyan 'Muslim' Brotherhood that directed the rebellion against al-Qathafi as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood," Lopez said. "Many of the individual members of the al-Qaeda-related militias, including the LIFG, and the groups that would later become 'Ansar Al-Sharia', were 'Muslim' Brotherhood members first."
According to the interim report, as detailed by Lopez, a delegation from the UAE traveled to Libya after the fall of al-Qathafi to collect payment for the weapons the UAE had financed and that Qatar had delivered to the Transitional National Council in Libya during the war.
"The UAE delegation was seeking 0.88€ billion it claimed was owed," the interim report noted. "During their visit to Tripoli, the UAE officials discovered that half of the 0.88€ billion worth of weapons it had financed for the (so-called) 'rebels' (TERRORIST WAHABI) had, in fact, been diverted by MAJOR GENERAL ABDEL FATEH YOUNIS to 'The Great Jamahiriya Forces' (of Mu'ammar al-Qathafi). Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the 'Muslim' Brotherhood head of the Libyan TNC, found this out, and began seeking a way to eliminate both the Younis and Khalifa Hftar brigades (who were apparently working incognito for al-Qathafi)."
According to information discovered during the UAE visit to Tripoli, when Jalil learned that Maj. Gen. Abdel Fatah Younis (al-Qathafi's former minister of the interior before his late February 2011 'false' defection to the 'rebel' forces), had diverted the weapons (and the 441.38€ million payment from al-Qathafi), Jalil ordered Abu Salim Abu Khattala, leader of the Abu Obeida Bin al-Jarrah brigade to kill Younis and General Hftar.
"Abu Khattala, later identified as a Ansar al- Shariah commander who participated in the 11 September 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, accepted the orders and directed the killing of Gen. Younis in July 2011," the interim report noted.
Abu Khattala was in custody in New York awaiting trial under a Department of Justice-sealed indictment (until his untimely 'death'this past month), after U.S. Delta Force special operations personnel captured him over the weekend of June 14-15, 2014, in a covert mission in Libya. Abu Khattala's brigade merged into Ansar al-Shariah in 2012, and he was positively identified to the FBI in a cell phone photo from the scene of the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
The language of the interim report made clear why the sequence of events is important.
"The key significance of this episode is the demonstration of a military chain-of-command relationship between the Libyan 'Muslim' Brotherhood leadership of the TNC and the al-Qaeda-affiliated militia (Ansar al-Shariah) that has been named responsible for the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi," the 'Interim Report' concluded.
"What we have here is the 'Muslim' Brotherhood leadership of the (so-called) CIA-fabricated 'revolution', giving a kill-order to a Muslim militia affiliated with al-Qaeda, which then carried it out," Lopez summarized. "This chain-of-command link is important even though it has not yet received enough attention in the media.
A big 'oh no' moment
"After al-Qathafi was deposed, Stevens was appointed U.S. ambassador to Libya, and the flow of weapons reverses," Lopez noted. "Now Stevens has the job of overseeing the shipment of arms from Libya to Syria to arm the rebels fighting Assad, some of whom ultimately become al-Nusra in Syria and some become ISIS (DAASH)."
Lopez distinguished that "al-Nusra in Syria still claims allegiance to al-Qaeda, while ISIS (DAASH) has broken away from al-Qaeda, not because ISIS (DAASH) is too violent, but out of insubordination, after Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi (SIMON ELLIOT), the leader of ISIS (DAASH), wanted to run his own show inside Syria as well as Iraq, thereby disobeying orders from al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri."
She noted that in this period of time, after the fall of al-Qathafi and before the 11 Sept. 2012, attack on the Benghazi compound, Stevens was working with Turkey to ship weapons out of Libya into Syria for the use of the rebels fighting Assad.
According to the authors of the bestselling book "13 Hours," on Sept. 11, 2012, before the attack on the Benghazi compound started, Stevens had dinner with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin. Stevens reportedly escorted the Turkish diplomat outside the main gate of the Benghazi compound to say good-bye to Akin at approximately 7:40 p.m. local time, before he returned to Villa C to retire for the evening.
Kevin Shipp, a former CIA counterintelligence expert who worked on the seventh floor at Langley as protective staff to then-CIA Director William Casey, again speaking for himself in his interview with WND, agreed with Lopez that the gun-running operation Stevens managed is a secret the Obama White House and Clinton State Department have sought to suppress from the public.
"The shocking part, maybe even a violation of international law that the Obama administration has been terrified to have fully revealed, is that Stevens as part of his duties as a State Department employee was assisting in the shipment of arms first into Libya for the al-Qaeda-affiliated militia, with the weapons shipped subsequently out of Libya into Syria for use by the al-Qaeda-affiliated 'rebels' fighting Assad," Shipp told WND.
"Very possibly, these gun-running activities could be looked at even as treasonable offenses," he said.
Shipp further noted that in gun-running operations in which the CIA wants deniability, the CIA generally involves a third party.
"The way the CIA works is through a 'cut-out,' in that you get Qatar to transport the weapons and you facilitate the transport. So now the third party is to blame," he explained.
"Qatar probably would have been able to pull this off without any attribution to the CIA if the Benghazi attack had not happened. The attack basically shed the light on this operation the White House, the State Department and the CIA were trying to keep quiet," he said.

Man Known as 'Jihadi John' Is Identified as Mohammed Emwazi
CreditAgence France-Presse — Getty Images
LONDON — The man in the black balaclava who has seemed to have beheaded several foreign hostages in Islamic State videos has been identified by British security services as Mohammed Emwazi, a British national from London.
Known in the news media as "Jihadi John," he is said to have been born in Kuwait and traveled to Syria in 2012. His name was first published on Thursday on the website of The Washington Post.
The story was confirmed by a senior British security official, who said that the British government had identified Mr. Emwazi some time ago but had not disclosed his name for operational reasons.
Mr. Emwazi, 27, grew up in Queen's Park, West London, and graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in computer programming.
With his diploma in computer science, he would be radicalized after a trip in May 2009 in Tanzania, explains the 'U.S. Daily'. With two friends, they were allegedly detained overnight in Dar es Salaam, before being released. Emwazi then took a flight to Amsterdam where he reportedly stated that he was questioned by British intelligence services, who suspected him at the time of having links with Somali Islamists (Shabaab).
Back in England, he decided then moved to Kuwait, where he would find a job as computer programmer. During a trip to England, he was detained by the services of counter terrorism of this (England) country, who did not allow him to return to Kuwait. "I have a job waiting for me and a wedding to prepare", he wrote in June 2010. "But now I feel like a prisoner, except that I'm not in a cage in London". "They prevents me from living my new life 'dna smon-country' of origin, Kuwait". The man was able to join the WAHABI al-Qaeda, in Syria, during 2012.
On each short film recorded the same ritual. Dressed in a black tunic and a hood revealing just his eyes, the man speaks for a few minutes with an English accent, before he moves onto the Act.
He first appeared in Islamic State videos in August, when he appeared to behead the American journalist James Foley and deliver threats against the West. The actual execution was not included in the video.
The same man was apparently seen in the videos of the beheadings of a second American journalist Steven J. Sotloff; the British aid worker David Cawthorne Haines; the British taxi driver Alan Henning; and the American aid worker Peter Kassig.
Last month, he appeared in a video with Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, both Japanese hostages, shortly before they were killed. Scotland Yard refused to confirm the identification, and Downing Street had no comment.

Esmeraude Cosplay
Which Cosplay's I do like most?
Oh that's a hard question. I do not make any prefernce, because I really like every costume I made so far. Even my first ones where I would say now: OMG look how many faults it has xD. But you know, I grew up with everyone I made and I still make mistakes and I still learn from it 🙂
Over the time experiance come and I see that some projects were more intense like others, but I like them all. With some I have great memorys, where I always can look back.
What does Cosplay means to me?
Well first of all I can be the character I really like and the most cool and fun part is to portray the character right away on conventions. It feels like for example I can be a Hunter (Demon Hunter) or even a crusader and walk around and play the role. That's such an exiting feeling. And most of you know that feeling, when you have done you're costume and you put it on for the first time…
I have met alot of cosplayers people trough this hobby which I'm so happy about. I really like how the comunity grows and that people share the same hobby as you do. We are a family and we do what we like and that's our hobby.
There's a lot more to tell, but what I also like to chat with other cosplayers, help them, give them advices or whatever if they like to ask something about a costume how you made it and so on. I'm a really oppened person and try to help as good as I can and you always can ask me 🙂
What else to know…
I like mostly to craft, working with thermoplastic materials are my favorite, but I'm slowly getting into with foam. Sewing is still not my biggest friend, but I try to do my best. Sometimes my sewingmachine and I are friends and sometimes not xDDD

Preliminary results from the Greene County Clerk's Office show that both nominations were won with large margins during an election in which 24.3 percent of registered voters filled out ballots.

Missouri State Rep. Lincoln Hough won the Republican nomination for District 2 Commissioner with more than 77 percent of the votes, preliminary results show.
Hough will continue on to face Libertarian candidate Cecil Ince, who ran unopposed in the primary, in the November general election. No Democrat filed to run.
Hough told the News-Leader, "I'm excited to do this. I'm excited to come home. This is where I tried to start my political career."
Hough ran for Greene County commissioner once before, in 2008, losing against Commissioner Roseann Bentley who is now retiring.
Hough has spent the last six years serving in the Missouri House of Representatives.
His primary opponent, David "Chester" Myers, said he wasn't surprised by the results of the race.
"The main thing is that Greene County is a winner anyway either way," Myers said. "We got a good Republican in there and I'm sure Lincoln is going to do a great job."
In January either Hough or Ince will join District 1 incumbent Harold Bengsch, who is running unopposed, and Presiding Commissioner Bob Cirtin, whose seat is not up for re-election this year.
"It's humbling to have the support of your constituents in a leadership role," Hough said.
The full-time commissioner position is paid $78,323 annually.
Greene County Assessor
The Republican ticket featured a three-way race for Greene County Assessor.
Preliminary results show the incumbent, Rick Kessinger won more than 68 percent of the vote.
With no Democrat or Libertarian candidates in the running, Kessinger will be unopposed in the November general election.
Kessinger said he has held the assessor's seat since 2004 and looks forward to continuing some changes he has initiated in the assessor's office, such as upgrading the e-filing system and revamping the office's website.
The assessor is responsible for appraising property values, which affects property taxes.
The position is paid $80,323 annually.
One of Kessinger's opponents, Steven Kimmey won about 28 percent of votes.
Kimmey said he's disappointed in the outcome but hopes to see Kessinger act as a fair assessor.
The remaining candidate, Joseph Siano, won less than three percent of the votes in Greene County.
Siano told the News-Leader he ran in protest against Kessinger and cast his vote for Kimmey.

Another busy weekend coming up. Is there any other kind this time of year? On Saturday, friends will be coming over for wine and appetizers. Along with the usual chit-chat, we will be celebrating the retirement of one of the friends. I plan to make a crab dip from a recipe I found in one of Gladys Taber's books. The dip is made in a double boiler, and along with the crab it includes cream cheese, a bit of mayonnaise, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. This afternoon, I'll be making homemade crackers to go with the crab dip.
On a recent trip to Trader Joe's, we stocked up on wine that is very, very reasonably priced and quite good. The prices even go as low as $3.99, and I am not at all ashamed to serve this wine at gatherings. For those living on a modest budget, I highly recommend getting wine at Trader Joe's. We have enough, I think, for the season, and that is one worry out of the way.
Planning ahead and organizing don't come easily to me. However, over the years, I have certainly seen the benefits of both, and I make such an effort to be organized that I give the impression of naturally being that way. Therefore, friends are always shocked when I tell them I am not. This is a good example of the value of effort. I might never be as organized as many of my friends, but with effort, I have made great strides, and for the most part we don't have too many moments of sheer chaos at the little house in the big woods. (We still have some, of course. When something doesn't come naturally, effort will only take a person so far.)
On Sunday, we will be going north, to the University of Maine at Orono, to see our nephew Patrick in Mary Zimmerman's play Metamorphoses, adapted from Ovid's poem of the same name. The set will include a giant pool where much of the action takes place, and I am looking forward to seeing this play. As Patrick is our favorite nephew as well as our only nephew, we would go see him in anything, even something as humdrum as Arsenic and Old Lace. What a bonus when the play that he's in turns out to be really interesting.
In between cooking, cleaning, and entertaining, there will be walks to the Narrows Pond with the dog. I'll bring my camera. Sometimes I get good pictures, sometimes I don't, but I never get tired of the view of all that water, gray on a day like today with a slight fizzle of snow coming down. As I've mentioned before, Monet had his water lilies and haystacks, and I have the Narrows.

Novice Coders: Overview [Room 320]
- If you don't have a Scratch login, set one up at scratch.edu.mit
- Share your 10 Block project in our Fall studio
- Check out other coder's 10 Block project
- Work on the Build a Band project
- Share your Build a Band project in our Fall Studio
- Check out other coder's Build a Band project
- Work on debugging some Scratch code (see the details)
Novice Coders: Details
These are coders who are just getting started. If you are new to coding in general or just new to Scratch (the language we use to get started) this is the group for you. If you've started to feel more comfortable and want to see what everyone else is doing, read down below and see if that appeals to you. You can move between groups to find the best match for you.
Last session we worked on the 10 Blocks project. After you finished your project, I wanted you to share it by putting it in our Fall studio. If you haven't already done so, please share your project by putting it in the studio. Don't know how? Ask another coder to see how they did it. Now that you've shared your project, check out what your fellow coders have done. Have questions how they did something? Search them out and ask! This is an important part of our Dojo experience. Don't skip it!
Today we are going to continue to work on our Scratch skills. The focus will be on making sounds! The instructions are very simple. Create a Sprite. Add sound blocks. Experiment with ways to make your project interactive! So get to it! Find the Sound block section. Figure out what the blocks do. Remember if you want to know more about a block go to the Tips pull down and then click on the blocks tab in the tips section. How can you make your project more interactive? Can you make it respond based on a key the user presses on the keyboard? How about if the user clicks a sprite with the mouse? These types of control blocks are found in the Events block section. Want an advanced challenge? See if you can figure out how to use your video input to make your project interactive. The video sensing blocks are in the light blue Sensing Blocks section.
After you have played around with your Band, go ahead and share it by clicking the share button on the top right of the screen. Make sure you give it a name and somehow indicate it is a Build a Band project. Next link it to our Spring studio. Ask around if you are having trouble doing this. Once you have your project linked into the Studio, wait for other people to get theirs up. Better yet, go help them! Feel free to check out other band projects in the studio later. Today we are going to do a gallery walk. That means that we set up our project and have other coders walk by and try out your project. Everybody should feel free to ask questions and offer constructive criticism (advice) about each other's work. Good luck and have fun!
Sometimes when we write code it doesn't behave like we expect. The process of finding these problems and fixing them is called debugging. Want to know the origin of this expression? Read this! And this! Let's do some debugging. Another thing coders do is work in pairs. Let's give that a try. Pair up and try to figure out what's wrong with any of these buggy projects:
With the time remaining, have fun and code up whatever you like. Make some noise, splashes of color, be silly, be serious. Whatever you want.
Everybody Else
This season the focus will be on a long term project. When I say long term, I mean all season! You can use this project to enter into the Cool Code Awards event or as part of the requirement for your next belt or both! Because you will be spending a bit of time working on this project, it's good to put some thought into it up front. Make a roadmap so you have some idea all the pieces that you are going to have to work out. It might help to brainstorm with a friend.
Still looking for an idea? Look at the suggestions I wrote up in Workout #2.
The other thing that I would like you to do is get some feedback from your fellow coders. Are you stuck? Do you want some suggestions on how to make your project better? Show your project to your fellow coders and see what they think.

The ultimately unbelievably believable couple is turning… years? It's hard to think it would be time that defines them. Maybe rather the ever-expanding, relentless drive, in times splashingly joyous and on others brutally real. These two have seen people up from daring dreams and crazy one-off ideas into making music, parties, circus, art — so many people who have springed up from what they've done. They've done, and keep on doing so much for the Finnish forest culture.

Chasing the Impossible Past: How a Band Moves on From Its Masterpiece Album (Dan Ozzi) →
Two of my favourite bands released albums at the start of 2017, and both were followups to critically acclaimed records. This article really captures a lot of my feelings about where each band is at in their careers:
In a small stroke of fate, the Menzingers and Japandroids, two bands that five years ago struck lightning in their respective bottles on either side of North America, released new albums on the same day last week under the same parent label, Epitaph Records. With the releases of each, After the Party for the Menzingers and Near to the Wild Heart of Life for Japandroids, the two bands now find themselves in the same predicament: How does a band move on from the album that many will forever consider their masterpiece?
As a result, Near to the Wild Heart of Life takes greater risks. After a familiar, quick and dirty rock banger to kick the record off, they gradually introduce a few new elements into their repertoire—some synths, more introspective lyrics, and even a sweeping seven-and-a-half-minute ballad. They may not have completely reinvented what it means to be a Japandroid, but it's clearly a deliberate effort towards evolving. After the Party, on the other hand, sees the Menzingers maturing a bit, tackling the problems that come with hitting one's thirties, but musically, delivering more of what put them on the map.

Lots To Be Thankful For
It's so nice to have Clint home for the holidays. Thanksgiving at our friend's made it an easy one. Delicious food and great company.
Welcome Home, Clint!
After five and a half months of anxiety, lonely holiday celebrations, loooots of time with the cats and daily I-miss-yous, Clint has finally made it home! I prepared a sign, took a two-hour shuttle to the airport and surprised him. He was thinner, a stranger almost. But underneath all the gruff and grime of war and … Continue reading Welcome Home, Clint!
American Haunted House in Fussa
This past Halloween, some guys from LRS put their wits together and created a terrifying haunted house for the denizens of Fussa. I got to participate by being the Special Effects Make-up Artist. (Self-imposed title.) It was fun gori-fying the actors, but I immediately felt bad for the small children going through. It brought back … Continue reading American Haunted House in Fussa
Halloween MMXIV
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Costumery and make up are taken to whole new levels. This year, I had a few opportunities to dress up. We had a Fall Festival at work earlier in the month, so I dressed up as the counterpart to our mascot, Samurai Fox. Marketing had a party, so … Continue reading Halloween MMXIV
Trey Songz Comes to Yokota
One of the benefits of living on an overseas base is the influx of entertainment "for the troops." Tonight, Hip Hop/R&B artist Trey Songz performed at Yokota and all the ladies lost their minds. The show was slated to commence at 6:30 p.m., but fans were already lined up before 3:00 p.m. As soon as … Continue reading Trey Songz Comes to Yokota
Blood Moon
I'd been reading all about October's imminent blood moon, but had no hopes of seeing it. And yet, by happenstance, I looked up last night and there it was! The lunar orb in all its vermillion glory. I ran for my telescope, but couldn't set it up in time. The Nikon would have to suffice. By … Continue reading Blood Moon
Flower Festival at Showa Kinen Park
Cherry blossoms are gone, but spring has only begun. This past weekend, we drove to Tachikawa to see the Flowers Festival (which really ought to be the Tulips Festival) at Showa Kinen Park. The park itself is quite expansive! It took us three hours to walk around the entire thing. Since we entered the opposite … Continue reading Flower Festival at Showa Kinen Park
Tristan Comes Home
After a couple of months of searching, we've finally found our little Tristan. He's a domestic short-haired tabby with an impossibly cute face. He's only 12 weeks old, so still a baby. It's taking him some time to get used to not having his siblings around, but we're babying him as much as possible. He'll … Continue reading Tristan Comes Home
Night of the Living Dead
We found out about Zombie Night yesterday. That meant we had 24 hours to prepare. Of course the BX had nothing left to accommodate our ghoulish needs; so I said to Clint, "No problem.

Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum opens new production and service facilities in Singapore and India.
Singapore, 19th June 2012 – Being close to customers is an important factor to meet the increasing demands of the local markets, also with standardized and fully customized vacuum solutions. Therefore, Leybold Vacuum complements the already existing sales and service network in Asia.
The new premises of Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum Singapore Pte. Ltd., founded in 2000, is located at 8, Commonwealth Lane, and now includes a service center as well as a warehouse. With a size of just over 9,000 sq. ft., it triples the space of the previous locality. With this new service center Leybold Vacuum is now able to service the fore vacuum pumps in house, thus improving on turnaround times and reducing transporting issues. Customers will also benefit from the lean processes of the bigger warehouse as stock keeping and logistics are more effective thereby reducing delivery times and optimizing management, also due to the convenient location nearby PIE & AYE, the major expressways in Singapore. A short distance to Commonwealth MRT station complements the infrastructural advantages. Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum will celebrate the move to this location with the inauguration festivities on June 22nd, 2012.
Similar improvements on customer oriented logistics and proximity will be provided by the new facilities of Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum in Pune, India. Founded in 2005, the opening of the new Centre of Excellence on May 26th, 2012, will further contribute to the growth scenario of Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum in South East Asia, as the location will also serve as a new assembly and service location thus catering to local demands of vacuum technology, engineering and services. The new facility will also have state-of-the-art vacuum gauge calibration facility with national and international traceability, and start offering an improved product range, with the local designing and installation of standardized or fully customized vacuum solutions for customers in India, and other Asian countries.
Together with the recent production capacity increase at the manufacturing site in Tianjin, China, Leybold Vacuum acts on its strategic imperative of customer proximity. Closeness to customers in India and Asia is a crucial factor in increasing the capacity for the overall support of high tech vacuum solutions, but especially for additional performance such as vacuum consulting, engineering, design, software programming, and assembly.
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is a Global Leader in Vacuum Technology for more than 162 years, with state-of-the-art production facilities in Europe, Asia & USA, and a worldwide network of service organizations matching the regional market requirements. Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is focusing on market segments such as Process Industries, Coating Technologies, Solar, Analytical, and Research & Development.

Standard recap: I'm slowly going through AABC's one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I'm going through the alphabet backwards (don't ask), and at my speed (especially with the school semester in full gear), this amounts to a two-year project. This week, the focus continues to be on the letter "F," and on discount comics featuring the Fastest Man Alive:
The Flash Volume One
Discounted issues from Volume One of the comic don't come up a lot here — there are a few dozen lower-condition books below issue #300, and a few more than that from #300 up to the end of the title with issue #350. Many of those latter issues involve the "Trial of the Flash," an over-two-year-long storyline wherein Barry has "killed" the evil Professor Zoom, and gets put on, yes, trial for murder in Central City. I was reading comics regularly when this story appeared, in the early '80s, and even in those pre-Internet days it was widely derided, in letters pages, fanzines and the like, for its length and lack of logic (the mass-murderer from the future gets killed during a battle, and the guy who stops him from slaughtering more innocents gets indicted for it? Really?). Looking back at the issues now, it's a better read than it seemed at the time: writer Cary Bates keeps plots and subplots spinning deftly, uses the Flash Rogues Gallery well, and is clever about the ins and outs of the trial itself; meanwhile, old Flash hand Carmine Infantino, in the twilight of his career, is cutting some artistic corners but still providing very smooth, eye-pleasing visuals to the character whose adventures he'd then been drawing for over 25 years. Yes, it's long (long enough that DC just released a Showcase paperback of just those issues), and the courtroom antics sometimes recall a particularly bad Law and Order episode (although "bad Law and Order episode" is probably redundant), but, in this modern era of decompressed storytelling and writing for the trade, it holds up well; maybe the Flash, ever an accomplished time-traveller, was just ahead of his time.
Flash Volume Two
Barry Allan walks into a future-era sunset with his true love at the end of the first Flash series, #350, cover-dated October 1985, but his retirement is, even for a speedster, remarkably short-lived; just a month later, in the November, 1985-dated Crisis on Infnite Earths #8, he meets his death at the hands of the Anti-Monitor. That doesn't end the character's publishing history, though, because less than two years later, in June 1987, Barry's nephew (and former Teen Titan) Kid Flash, Wally West, puts on the costume, becoming the first DC sidekick to make a permanent transition to the major leagues.
Since AABC was around in full force in 1987, we have a lot of issues from this era available on the discount racks right now, and most of them are solid, above-average superhero tales. This volume of Flash had remarkably good luck with writers, and it's easy to divide it into four chapters, based on four long scripting runs:
Mike Baron
Baron had made a name for himself as the creator of the '80s alternative books Nexus and Badger, and worked at both DC and Marvel (where he had a distinguished stint on the Punisher) in the '80s. His Wally West Flash marks a sharp change from the Barry Allen Silver-Age one; for one thing, he's considerably slower, able to run maybe 700 miles an hour: fast, but nowhere near the lightspeed, molecule-vibrating ability of his Uncle Barry. Too, Baron's more-realistic physics means that moving fast takes a physical toll: after a run, Wally has to eat like a horse to replenish his energy levels. In other changes, he's a "known" hero, so there are no secret-identity shenanigans, and in the first issue he's scrambling for money, going so far as to use his speed to take on a courier job for a hospital for pay. Baron makes all of this fascinating and fun reading, stirring in recurring villains like Vandal Savage and the machine intelligence Killg%re, and adding love interests, Russian speedsters, the massive teleportation mutant Chunk, and other new characters to the supporting cast. He starts out teamed with artist Jackson Guice, then adds a few issues with Mike Collins before bowing out with issue #14, having put this new version of the Flash on a firm footing.
William Messner-Loebs
Loebs had built a reputation as a solid storyteller with his early-American frontier series Journey, and takes over Wally's adventures with issue #15, with art by Greg LaRoque; minus a few fill-ins, that team stays on the title through issue #59. That almost-four-year run features Messner-Loeb's trademark human characters (even the bad guys are, typically, not completely bad, and the supporting cast is filled in and deepened so that they're as fun to read about as Wally himself), as Wally loses his speed and gains it back, gets involved with cults, aliens and assorted mobsters and hangers-on, and encounters older Rogues Gallery adversaries like Captain Cold, the Turtle, Gorilla Grodd and others; probably the highlight here is issues 48-50, wherein Vandal Savage kidnaps all of Wally's friends to force a final showdown, and kills him (!) only to see him bounce back and end up with both a newly-designed costume and the enhanced-speed powers that his Uncle Barry had always had. Messner-Loebs is especially good at satisfying, self-contained, one-issue stories: something of a lost art today.
Mark Waid
Waid is yet another writer who established his mainstream credentials on Wally and company: he comes on board with a "Year One" four-parter, drawn by LaRoque, in issues #62-65, and then settles in for a very long tenure, all the way through issue #159. Laroque continues through a nothing-is-as-it-seems "Return of Barry Allen" story in issues #75-79, after which Mike Wieringo, Waid's future partner on a long and well-regarded Fantastic Four run, comes on board for a year, from issue #80 through the introduction of Impulse in #92. Next up are Carlos Pacheco and Salvador Larroca, who provide art for the six-part "Terminal Velocity" that ends in issue #100, and sees Waid setting up the Speed Force as a sort of universal super-speed conduit that's been part of the Flash mythos ever since. After that, Oscar Jimenez provides art on most issues through #116; by #118, Waid is co-writing the book with Brian Augustyn, with Paul Ryan as the main artist through #129. Issue #130 sees a high point: a Grant Morrison/Mark Millar collaboration, still with Ryan art, that lasts through issue #138 — although Ron Wagner takes over the art chores for the last few issues of that period. Then, Millar solos on the book from issue #139-141, and the Waid/Augustyn team come back for the wedding of Wally and his longtime love, Linda Park, in issue #142. They stay on the book through issue #159 (with art mostly by Paul Pelletier), after which Waid finally bows out. Not to worry, though, because there's one more new writer set to make his name with Wally and company:
Geoff Johns
While Baron and Messner-Loebs provided an '80s Flash, and Waid stewarded him through the '90s, Johns is most responsible for bringing him into the 21st century, starting with his debut in issue #164. He does this through strengthening various elements of the character: making Central City (and neighboring Keystone City) feel more like actual places, for example, by establishing them as tough, hard-working Midwestern cities like Pittsburgh, and by giving the Flash his own Arkham Asylum, in the form of Iron Heights, the grim prison (with its even grimmer warden), where most of the bad guys end up. He also updates the Rogues Gallery, adding new villains to it and creating new versions of old ones like the Trickster and, most importantly, Professor Zoom, who receives a brand-new origin and becomes the same kind of nemesis for Wally that previous versions had been for Barry Allen. The two artists who help the most with this project are Brian Bolland, who provides gorgeous covers from issue #164 through #187, and Scott Kolins, who begins work on the interior pages with #170 and stays all the way through issue #200; the only problem with this early Johns era is that the books have relatively-low print runs, and values high enough that very few of them are on the discount racks. Over issue #200, when Johns is still writing but other artists, like Alberto Dose and Howard Porter, are drawing Wally, is another matter: most of these issues are out at cover price up through Johns's last one, #225.
Newer Issues
The recent publishing history of the Flash gets complicated, so try to follow this: Volume Two ends with issue #230 (March 2006), but then Volume Three, titled Flash: The Fastest Man Alive and featuring Bart Allen/Impulse in the costume (Wally having retired) runs for 13 issues from August 2006 through August 2007, after which Bart "dies" (cause of death being the Rogues, with low sales as an accomplice), and DC gets Mark Waid to come back on board for a revival of Volume Two with issue #231 (dated October 2007) and a return of Wally West, now with two kids who also have super-powers. This iteration lasts through issue #247 (February 2009), after which Johns gets Barry Allen re-established in the DC Universe with the mini-series Flash:Rebirth, from June 2009 through April 2010, and then a regular-series fourth Flash volume (the "Brightest Day" one) begins in June, 2010, with Johns back as scripter and Allen in the costume. That gets to #13, and kicks off the just-finished Flashpoint mini-series, ending the volume and paving the way for yet another new Flash #1, volume five, which will begin this month. Got all that? Good, because if you need to catch up on any of those issues, most are now out at cover price. In addition, the Flash original art pages that I talked about here, along with the key Silver Age Flash books that we still have in stock, will be in the display case back at the west end of the store for another week or so; check them out, if you haven't already.

These provocative questions have been asked repeatedly since effective treatments for the major psychiatric illnesses were developed beginning with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Few answers have been provided. Although several early studies on convulsive therapies (ECT or metrazol) were encouraging [1-3], other reports were not. More recently, two studies found lower death rates in depressives [6] and schizoaffectives [7] treated with ECT, but suicide rates were unchanged. Three additional studies since 1976 have not shown ECT to reduce suicide rates in depressives, either [8-10].
Confounding the effect of somatic treatment on death rates has been the independent trend in general mortality and suicide rates. In the past, both natural and unnatural causes of death were highly excessive [11, 12, 14], but now death from suicides and accidents is primarily responsible for the excess [13, 14]. Death from natural causes in psychiatric patients has been declining, however, most likely due to improvements in the availability and efficacy of general medical care, and deinstitutionalization, and may no longer be excessive [11, 13, 15]. Because natural causes of death may no longer be excessive, any protective effect that ECT may have had in the past in these deaths may now be unimportant. Any effect that ECT might have on preventing suicide could still be critical, however. Also of concern is whether antidepressants, particularly tricyclics, might actually increase death rates, due either to their demonstrated effects on vascular and cardiac conduction at both therapeutic and supratherapeutic dosages [16, 17].
We adjusted for length of follow-up because study subjects were not all followed for the same amount of time. For example, a person followed 10 years would have a greater cumulative risk for mortality than someone followed 1 year. This method is more fully described elsewhere [22].
Expected and observed numbers of deaths were compared using the Freeman-Tukey-corrected chi square. The Freeman-Tukey correction was used because it is more conservative than the regular chi square and many of our expected numbers were so small. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated and represent the ratio of observed to expected mortality. An SMR greater than I means that observed death exceeds expectation. Ninety- five percent confidence limits were calculated for the SMRs using Byar's method [26].
Of 1076 patients, 372 (34.6%) received ECT, 180 (16.7%) received adequate antidepressants, 317 (29.5%) received inadequate antidepressants, and 207 (19.2%) received neither ECT nor antidepressants during the index hospitalization. Using a four-way chi square, there were significant differences among the groups on age, marital status, prior episodes, prior suicide attempts, precipitating factors, delusions, and recovery at discharge. There were no differences in sex or suicidal ideations. Patients receiving ECT were older than the others, were more likely to be married (probably because of their advanced age), tended to have more delusions, and were less likely to have attempted suicide. Patients within the two antidepressant groups were similar except that patients receiving adequate antidepressants were more likely to have had prior episodes of illness. The group of patients receiving neither treatment differed from the other groups. These patients were younger, were less likely to be married, nearly two thirds had reported factors precipitating their depressions, nearly one-half had prior suicide attempts, and few were reported as receiving drug prophylaxis. At hospital discharge, patients receiving ECT were more likely to have recovered than patients in the other treatment groups.
Thirty-six suicides were identified in the record-linkage and comprise 3.3% of the study sample (Table 1). The following percentage of the total sample size for each diagnostic group committed suicide: ECT 3.2, adequate antidepressant 2.8, inadequate antidepressant 3.5, and neither treatment 3.9. There were no significant differences for the unadjusted (crude) suicide rates among the treatment groups (x2 = 0.944, df = 3). Suicides as a percentage of the total deceased were ECT 23.5, adequate antidepressant 33.3, inadequate antidepressant 50.0, and neither treatment 53.3.
Table 2 shows the distribution of the 103 deaths by treatment group and portion of follow-up. Forty (38.8%) deaths occurred during the first 2 years of the follow-up. During this portion of the follow-up, general (all cause) mortality was significantly excessive compared with expectation for the groups receiving ECT and inadequate antidepressants. For the entire follow-up period, the mortality is excessive for the groups receiving ECT or neither treatment. There are no significant differences between SMRs among the four treatment groups, as demonstrated by overlapping confidence intervals.
Twenty-five (69.4%) suicides occurred during the first 2 years of follow-up (Table 3). This was particularly obvious in the inadequate antidepressant group; 10 of 11 suicides occurred during this phase of follow-up. SMRs in each treatment category are about 15% in long-term follow-ups, the percentage of suicides is much higher in a short-term study [23, 281. Further, the study shows no significant differences in death rates among four treatment groups.
Literature Survey
The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific treatment categories were associated with a differential risk for suicide, which had been suggested by early studies. Ziskind and colleagues followed 197 patients with affective psychoses, mostly manic-depression, for a mean of 40 months. Eighty-eight had received convulsive therapy (ECT or metrazol); 109 had refused convulsive therapy, had symptoms too mild to warrant the treatment, or had a contraindication to ECT. There were 13 deaths in the control patients, with 9 by suicide compared with 3 deaths with 1 suicide in the convulsive therapy patients. Huston and Locher [21 compared patients with involutional psychosis treated with ECT with those receiving conservative therapies. None of the patients in the convulsive therapy groups committed suicide but 13% of those receiving conservative therapies did. Unfortunately, the follow-up periods differed for the different groups complicating subsequent data interpretation. In a later report on manic-depressive illness [3], these same authors found that ECT-treated patients followed for a mean of 36 months had a 1% suicide rate while the control patients followed for a mean of 82 months had a 7% suicide rate. Milstein and co-workers [10] recently reexamined these studies and noted that although they are suggestive of a beneficial effect, only the data from Ziskind and colleagues [1] yielded a statistically significant finding with a Fisher's exact probability of 0.029. The results of the current study are different from the results of Ziskind and colleagues [1] and Huston and Locher [2], but are consistent with the conclusions of Eastwood and Peacocke [8], Babigian and Guttmacher [91, and Milstein and colleagues [10]. We found significant, but similar risk for suicide among patients in all treatment categories. Suicide as a percentage of the total number of patients who died differs between groups but this is easily explained on the basis of age. Patients in the ECT group were older than the patients in other groups and would be more likely to die from natural causes. SMRs in the different treatment groups (Table 3) might suggest that ECT and adequate antidepressants might carry a lower risk for suicide, but this could not be demonstrated statistically. However, expected values as small as those reported in Table 3 make any conclusions tentative. Clearly, one must be cautious in basing interpretations on such small numbers.
Since there was no difference in suicide rates during the first 2 years after hospital discharge, was it possible that a shorter follow-up might reveal a difference between groups? Perhaps the protective effect of a treatment is shorter lived. We looked at this possibility (Table 4), but found no discernible trend in the pattern of suicides. There was also no apparent association between treatment group and follow-up interval.
Concerns and Caveats
Because ECT and antidepressants are efficacious [32, 33], we might expect them to lower suicide rates, at least in a short-term follow-up. However, during a relatively short follow-up we found no statistically significant difference in general mortality or suicide rates among treatment groups, nor did a lifetime history of ECT appear to have any influence on mortality. One would like to believe that effective treatments would decrease the likelihood of an early death. Possibly, suicide rates would have been much higher had somatic treatments not been used at all. We cannot state categorically that ECT or antidepressants failed to prevent suicides; our methods may not be sensitive enough to measure the effect of adequate treatment on individual patients. As Murphy has observed, "a saved life is a statistical non-event" [34, p. 573]. It is reassuring, however, that death rates are not higher in the antidepressant groups because antidepressants are associated with cardiovascular disturbances, are reported to lead to sudden death, and can be lethal in overdose.
A potential criticism of the analysis is that the treatment groups are inherently unequal, so that it may be inappropriate to draw comparisons among them. As treatment selection was left to the clinician, group assignment was nonrandom and, as we noted earlier, the four groups differ substantially In many respects, including age, age of onset, psychosis, suicide attempts, and aftercare. We have attempted to correct for some of these inequalities. First, we restricted our sample to diagnostic groups shown to have similar suicide rates. We deleted front our sample medically ill persons. We also used SMRs to correct for age, sex, and duration of follow-up. Regardless, some may argue that even with appropriate statistical safeguards, the groups remain unequal, that patients receiving ECT are simply sicker than patients receiving antidepressants, or no somatic treatment, and that such patients may have higher suicide rates. It is curious that the ECT group had fewer prior suicide attempts. Review of the literature, however, shows that suicide in depressed persons has not been clearly associated with clinical symptoms [35, 36], diagnostic subtype [21, 36], or psychosis [37, 38]. According to our results, suicide may also be unrelated to treatment.
We must emphasize that the results pertain to a highly select sample-depressives hospitalized at a tertiary care facility. The results should not be generalized to other groups, including outpatients. Indeed, most psychiatric patients are not hospitalized [39]. In particular, the results should not be generalized to never-treated outpatients. By virtue of entering the hospital, all our patients received "treatment," although some may not have had an active biologic therapy. Other treatments are provided in hospitals, including individual or group psychotherapy, milieu therapy, and activities and occupational therapies, whose effect on mortality cannot easily be assessed. Unfortunately, we also had no way to control for prophylactic treatments. This important variable may well affect mortality rates. Future studies will need to address this issue, as it is clear that drug prophylaxis affects relapse rates among the mood disorders.

Intelligence and creativity should not be considered as opposing alternatives , and imagination and learning are nurtured together.
Albert Einstein supposedly once said: "creativity is intelligence having fun". What a wonderful statement – and yet we often see a rivalry between 'art' and 'science '. We can probably all name some distinctively imaginative people who ooze creativity, as well as intellectuals who spout off impressive facts. These personalities can clash, both in adults and as they develop in our children. But perhaps creativity and intellect can have fun together.
Creativity originates with God, Creator of the universe. The Creator of you, me and every single child. God is the ultimate creative AND intellectual being! Whenever I see a baby, whenever I read about a new invention or medical breakthrough, whenever I hear an instrument being played… I see God having fun, and I am in awe of our extremely clever Creator. Genesis 1:27 says: God created human beings in His own image. (New Century Version)
We are intelligently created to be intelligent and creative! Both aspects have their place in the areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). When I was a nursery teacher, I carefully set out the classroom with activities covering all seven areas of development. I loved seeing how the children's play naturally spilt over from one to the next. Children naturally use what they know and what they imagine together in order to have fun!
In His creativity, God has made each of our children unique. It is said that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'; moreover, creativity is in the eye of the beholder. When teaching, I often had to encourage parents to resist telling their children how their creations should look: "a face has two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth" or "clouds are white and fluffy". In talking like this, we crush children's creativity (and show we don't know much about clouds).
Some of my favourite pictures by children are those that clearly show the child's imagination, not the parents'.
So how can we make the most of imagination in learning? Some of my fondest childhood memories are when my Mum allowed my brothers and me to be creative in ways unique to us. On one occasion we transformed our bedroom into 'Daphne's Coffee Shop' from our favourite TV programme 'Neighbours'. Another time we decorated the room in the colours of our favourite football team, Watford F.C., and even had a ribbon-cutting ceremony before entering. Yet another time, we entered into Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', turning our toy kitchen into a factory and making chocolate crispy cakes. Who would have thought a bedroom could be transformed into so many places? All the while, we were developing better numeracy, spoken language and understanding of the world – without even realising it.
These memories are from 30 years ago, but God's intellect and creativity are the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). As we think about our settings today, let's teach our young children in a way that fosters creativity and intellect together, and have fun doing it.

Janet Jackson Surprises Gymnast Whose Floor Routine Went Viral (Video)
Janet Jackson surprised Margzetta Frazier with a FaceTime call on Friday days after the UCLA gymnast went viral with a floor routine set to Janet's music.
The gymnast got a text saying she was getting a call in one minute. When the phone rang, the caller turned out to be Janet herself.
In the video chat Janet shared on Twitter, she said, "I would one day love to learn to tumble. And if I do, I would love for you to teach me! I did it once in the video 'Pleasure Principle,' and the way it was shot, people didn't think that it was me, but it was me doing the backflip!"
The gymnast quickly agrees to give Jackson a lesson. The artist laughs, "I would love for you to teach me. ... Hopefully, I won't break anything!"
Janet continued the call by saying,"I just want to say thank you, thank you for sharing your talent. It's so beautiful to see you tumble, really inspiring. And it just inspired me to want to do more and be better and be stronger. I absolutely loved it."
She wrapped up the call by telling an emotional gymnast again that she'd love to learn some of the gymnast's moves and would be reaching out the next time she's in Los Angeles.

Panicked white people also tried to ban books in the 80s – with Jerry Falwell leading the way
This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM's home for opinion and news analysis. It was originally published by The conversation.
A Conservative leader blamed the way "respect for our nation's heritage" had been largely removed from public school textbooks.
"From kindergarten to the whole school system, it almost seems that textbooks are designed to deny the philosophies previously taught," lamented the conservative leader. "[M]all textbooks are actually perverting the minds of millions of students.
A teachers' organization hit back, saying the underlying motive for some attacks on the books was "unmistakably racial".
It may look like a recent back and forth debates over the removal of books classrooms and libraries. Often, critical race theory – an academic framework for understanding racism – has been at the center of these debates. But in reality, both quotes are over 40 years old.
Receive TPM in your inbox, twice a week.
Religious influence on politics
The first quote is from a 1981 book by Reverend Jerry Falwell titled "Listen, America!» Falwell, founder of the Moral Majoritywas one of the leaders of the 1980s book banning efforts. It was during this period – with Ronald Reagan in the White House – that Christian fundamentalists became growing influence in American conservative politics.
The second quote is from a 1981 publication by the National Council of Teachers of English, "Students' right to read." The council was one of the main groups opposed to Falwell and the other Tories.
the attacks on books in the 1980s bear similarities to current attacks. Both oppose critical teaching about race and racism, historical as well as contemporary. Both accuse the schools of tearing America down and weakening patriotism. Both oppose teaching about gender roles, sexual orientation and alternative models of the family. Conservative institutions like the Heritage Foundation were involved in both periods.
There are also important differences between the two periods. The bogeyman of the 1980s was secular humanism, because he argued that human beings can define their own morality without resorting to religion. Falwell and others claimed that public schools were anti-Christian because they taught students that they did not have to use the Bible as a standard for right and wrong. Chaos would result, Christian fundamentalists argued, if everyone had to determine their own morality.
In a way reminiscent of the so-called Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, conservatives objected to teaching evolution as a fact, rather than a theory. Instead, they wanted biology textbooks to give equal space to the so-called scientific theory of creationismwhich holds that God created the universe.
A new bogeyman
In 2022, of course, the bogeyman is critical race theory. emerge from critical legal theory taught in law schools, critical race theory argues that white supremacy was integrated in American legal and educational institutions since the days of slavery.
Right-wing critics have made a number of erroneous claims about critical race theory: that it is taught in public schools; this it's marxist; that's all intended to make white people feel guilty; and more. The Heritage Foundation published "How to Identify Critical Race Theoryas a guide to help parents evaluate books and programs by searching for words like "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "social construction or race."
In fact, these concepts predate critical race theory, which emerged on the scene in the late 1970s and 1980s. Activist Stokely Carmichael – also known as Kwame Ture – and political scientist Charles V. Hamilton discussed institutional racism in "Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America" in 1967. "Institutional racism" and "structural racism" are very similar to "systemic racism".
"white privilegewas discussed by WEB Du Bois in the early 20th century and by civil rights activists in the 1950s and 1960s. Another term associated with critical race theory, "the social construction of racehas been used by anthropologists such as Francois Boas back to the 1950s.
New interpretations
Critical race theorists have taken these and other concepts, reinterpreted them, and applied them to the American legal system. Educational researchers have done the same in trying to understand education as an institution. After Over 40 years of teaching and writing about race and diversity, I know it is impossible to accurately discuss the American race conflict without using these concepts. But that's what many lawmakers would like American educators to do.
According to a Pen America Report, a nonprofit that champions freedom of expression in literature, 156 "educational gag" bills in 39 states have been filed since January 2021. Twelve have become law in 10 states and 113 are pending. in 35 states. In March 2022, at minus seven states specifically ban the teaching of critical race theory. "Cumulatively," says the Pen report, "they represent a national attack on our education system, censoring both what teachers can say and what students can learn."
Of course, some white students—and other students, for that matter—will feel uncomfortable learning not just about the history of American racism, but about its current manifestations. Reality is sometimes uncomfortable.
This is where good teaching comes in. Good teaching means taking into account the age of the students. It also means supporting students who may feel uncomfortable or guilty about certain events in American history.
I always say to students, "You are not responsible for what happened in the past. You are responsible for deciding what you plan to do now and in the future.

Five Easy Pieces is a playful installation that fills the atrium of the Washington D.C. Convention Center. The installation consists of five separate sculptures installed in the 100′ tall atrium space made from actual: guitars, tennis racquets, kayaks, bicycles, and bar stools. These works can be viewed from various levels using the stairs, escalators, balconies and bridges. The largest of the five sculptures is 16' in diameter.
Artist Donald Lipski grew up in Chicago where his father was in the bicycle business. As a young boy his father would take him to the convention center for various shows: the bike show, the toy show, the sporting goods show. These visits left an impact on Lipski who throughly enjoyed the experience of visiting the convention center, which felt to him like a pleasure palace. Inspired by these experiences Lipski decided to make sculptures out of pleasure objects, creating a unique experience for viewer. The complex design of the atrium space includes 100' tall ceilings, balconies, parapets, bridges, and escalators. In response to this Lipski created a mobile like design where each sculpture is suspended by a single cable so that it spins slowly in the wind with the air from the air conditioning system allowing the sculptures to be viewed from all angles while creating a unique viewing experience.
Public Art Services provided the following services: Budget management, Engineering coordination and oversight, Installation services, Scheduling, Project close-out.
