SCHEDULE
• In the Cube Gallery (noon-4pm) you will find "The Space Between," a new project from Dr. Fahamu Pecou that works to dispel the pervasive myth of violence and discord within the Black male community, and seeks to both normalize expressions of care, concern, and compassion while challenging the pervasive image of Black violence and trauma.
• Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before.
• Participate in a self-led writing exercise / creativity booster in the space outside of Arvin Temkar’s studio. Arvin is a writer and photographer whose work examines complexity, tension, and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America, and has been published in major publications across the country. He will also be displaying some of his photography in the windows of his studio.
• Visit the Teller Productions Workshop to observe artist Scottie Rowell’s shadow puppet play time and experience Push. Press. Pull., an ever-changing art installation exploring human’s love of buttons. Only one family/group/pod allowed in the space at time.
• Jasmine Williams and Sierra King are excited to share with the public in progress works across both of their disciplines of printmaking and archiving. The public at large is welcomed into their space, limited to 2 at time, to view THROUGHLINE - where the lives of Black Women Artists intersect. Additionally there will be limited edition "I AM WOMAN" tote bags that were hand printed in the art lab and older edition prints available to purchase by Jasmine Nicole Williams.
• FRANK/ie CONSENT will present ‘Love Shrines,’ their first installation of shared things, in which their new album (collaborated with The Cradle) will play with casual, non-demanding events happening and video documentation of their recent love baptism. After the installation, there will be a live music performance by FRANK/ie CONSENT and the generosities of people they love. The performance will begin around 5:30.
• Floyd Hall will be presenting Seeing + Sounds, featuring a series of streaming recorded audio content in addition to visual projections.
• From 2-3:30, Matriarc Society will be providing a photo shoot session with a local femme music maker at no cost. Guests may observe the process from the windows on the corner of Magnolia Lane and Morosgo Drive.

“Since I first visited the Bosnian ‘horror camp’ Vučjak, where refugees were violently held up—only 224 km away from Austria — with the SOS Balkan Route initiative in 2019, the suffering of the people there has never left me. The fight against the normalization of those ugly images, the empathy and helpfulness of many people, formed the foundation of my work.”

The CSIS Americas Program and the Center for International Policy will host a half-day conference that will explore what normal relations between the United States and Cuba could look like, while discussing a legal roadmap for getting there. The purpose of the event is not to discuss whether the United States should normalize its relations with Cuba. Instead, the event will explore the process in its legal, practical, and diplomatic aspects, in the event that a U.S. president decides to pursue such a relationship.
The event will feature a morning keynote address by Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who will discuss his recent trip to Cuba and the outlook for the bilateral relationship, and a luncheon keynote address by Ambassador Tom Pickering, who will discuss the role of practical diplomacy in normalizing relations with countries subject to U.S. economic sanctions.
Washington, D.C. attorney Robert Muse will describe the legal capability of a U.S. president to normalize relations with Cuba, and then moderate a discussion of the various elements of normalized U.S.-Cuba relations. Speakers include: Mark Feldman, former Deputy and acting Legal Adviser at the Department of State; Gustavo Arnavat, former U.S. Executive Director of the Inter-American Development Bank and Senior Adviser at CSIS; Jake Colvin, Vice President of the National Foreign Trade Council; Prof. Christine Haight Farley, American University's Washington College of Law; Matthew Aho, Akerman, LLC; and Dan Whittle, Environmental Defense Fund.

French soldiers arrive at a gas station serving as a republican forces operating base on a mission to evacuate an unidentified French citizen, on the outskirts of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Friday, April 8, 2011. Ivory Coast's democratically elected leader said his forces won't capture the entrenched strongman who remained holed up Friday in an underground bunker at the presidential residence, and instead will focus on normalizing life in the besieged city.(
Chicago, March 31, 9.15Pm: In light of the recent semi-final cricket match between India and Pakistan, President Obama of the United States was highly encouraged by the camaraderie, exhibited by the leaders and peoples of both countries of South Asia. To celebrate this normalization of the relations between the two countries, President of the United States, declared that every American should wear Salwar Kameez dress in the next twenty-four hours. When asked by a confused Washington inside-the-beltway reporter, “what’s the point of this? I thought we were here for briefing on Libyan Crisis” President Obama explained, that within the context of multilateralism policy, showing gratitude towards both countries, will promote peace and harmony between the nations and he further elaborated his point that by doing these small gestures by Americans, we can decrease the billions of foreign aid and thus lower the tax rates for the American people. Another reporter asked, “Mr. President, where would Americans find Salwar Kameez dresses?” Mr. Obama replied during his recent trip to South America, after having lengthy debates with his staff on all the crisis in Japan, Libya, growing protests in Middle East and other important policy issues towards South America, he took a five minute break and surfed the net. He came across a Salwar kameez Boutique website that reminded him of his days as a young student when he used to visit Karachi, Pakistan. According to him, this website had very elegant dresses. He said, he showed to Michelle and she asked him with the excitement in her eyes “Mr. President, you have to buy me this dress when we visit Pakistan, this year” He replied “No, Mrs. President, you can click right here and get it and its cheap, too” President added that he promised Michelle that during their upcoming visit to Pakistan, he would definitely take a stroll on Mall Road to show her how much Pakistan has improved. He was referring to the website mallroad247.com/ with its vibrant and elegant, yet affordable, dresses by Zoya’s Collection Boutique.

Inside ring, lower picture: Side view of spailcraft, moving along a line, perpendicular to the wind. Upper picture, frontal view of lower picture, to point out the normalized lift transference between lift and the reaction force at the track. Normalization between lift and the reaction at it, is in fact the proof of stability; which is the very principle of spailing.
Blades in wind mills also move perpendicular to the wind.
Ring: Spailcrafts run along a looped track, connected to one another. They are placed equidistant apart which then gives us the principle of the Turbo windmill.
Spailcraft firstly eliminates the capsizing momemtum. This formes a stable structure and therefore can be sized up and withstand higher winds.
Michigan Engineering graduate Frank Sedlar and PetaJakarta.org staffers participate in a "brown water rafting" down Ciliwung River in Jakarta, Indonesia.
They are documenting the consequences of the process of normalisasi ("normalization") that Jakarta government has been implementing along the banks of rivers that cut through Jakarta and empty into the nearby sea. The normalization policy turns heavily populated river banks in Jakarta, Indonesia into concrete and walled deserts after evicting local residents from the river banks.
For the next week we are following a Michigan Engineering graduate who helps map flooding in Jakarta using social media based data. Follow our blog at umjakarta.tumblr.com/

welcome to the new world order mark of the beast. made in china.
Revelations:
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
This building allows dogs. The lawn and garden around the building has no dogs allowed signs (with a dog shitting graphic).
This is another example of how gentrifying investment burdens communities. The building wants to minimize maintenance costs and preserve the aesthetic for residents (which they paid for). The surrounding community must provide walking space and inevitable cleaning and maintenance that comes from higher traffic.
Unless everyone puts up signs or fences or has lawn maintenance contracts, more work is downloaded to low income communities, with only the promise of an 'improved' neighbourhood appeal, and higher property values (ie. taxes, and resulting unsustainability), the reward.

I need to start this by sharing that I recently listened to an opinion piece about the lasting legacy of Green Day, and the narrator introduced Green Day as "…that band your parents listen to…" and now I feel old.
But anyway.
In a time freshly torn apart by terrorism, war, and politics, Green Day wrote a concept album that encapsulated that early-2000s era turmoil. We’ve somehow normalized the upheaval in the last two decades, but that shaky ground was unfamiliar in the period following 9/11, and that period is right where the American Idiot album transports me every time. I was just entering adulthood and concerned for the world I was inheriting.
The musical follows the paths of three men as they try to navigate the new world and contains the music from the album as well as other Green Day songs—each performance ending with “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” at the curtain call.
I don’t really know the story behind how this angsty concept album made its way to Broadway, but I’m just glad this stage musical exists.
About the Ornament
I wanted this ornament to look weathered but still beautiful, or maybe beautiful because of what it had weathered. I decided on oxidized metal. I used a tiny, tiny bit of gum arabic powder to help create some texture in places. Over the gum arabic, I lightly distributed some gold mica powder, as well as the gold/green/red powder that I initially used for a Hadestown ornament. Then I added silver mica to coat the rest of the ornament. FORTUNATELY, I was adding the silver conservatively because I remembered almost too late that I have a mica powder actually called Green Day—I do love a theme. Since my silver coverage was still light in places, I was able to add the new powder so that it just peeks through if it catches the light just right.
The playbill art is easily adapted for vinyl; I mainly moved the heart grenade from the title to the back.
I struggled deciding on a ribbon to use. I like pretty, shiny, sparkly ribbon, so obviously this is what makes up the majority of my ribbon stock. I went with a black satin ribbon with metallic silver stripes, but it looked too clean, too crisp, next to the “rusted” ornament with the ragged lettering effect. Using a dry paint brush, I brushed patches of gold and “Green Day” green mica powders over the porous black areas of the ribbon to give it a similar battle-worn look. I also dusted powder on the silver satin ribbon I used for the hanger so it wouldn’t look so shiny and new.
Here you can see it after the high reading subsides. This takes around a minute, maybe more.
Another amusing thing about this machine is that the Sirai stat has a deadband of about 0.4 bar (!!). It needs to be replaced soon, hopefully with a PID.
We see photos like this in magazines, fashion, films, photos all the time. Does it have certain implications? Do we live in a society that normalizes "Rape Culture"? This is the first in a mini series that I'd like to explore.

Extending the immigration transition period beyond 2014 will provide more time for investors, workers, and families to normalize their status under U.S. law. Following up on my standing request to the Secretary of Labor to make his extension determination as soon as possible, I met with James H. Moore, Jr., Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy at the Labor Department. He explained the data-gathering process now underway that will be necessary for the Secretary to make a well-informed decision. I will keep tracking the Labor Department’s progress to be sure that the extension decision can be made without delay.
Scenes from the Training of Trainers workshop for UN Women’s Voices against Violence project, in partnership with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and with the support of Zonta International. From 18-22 October in New York, the workshop brought together 45 youth leaders from the girl guiding movement in Argentina, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Egypt, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Slovenia, Tunisia and the United States of America, to learn how to deliver a unique non-formal education curriculum that aims to prevent violence against women and girls.
Pictured: Stefanie Argus is with Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada and a Lead Facilitator for the Voices against Violence curriculum. She believes that preventing violence against women and girls begins with recognizing and questioning the harmful practices and attitudes that have become normalized, and to make impactful change, men and boys must also be engaged in this work. Stefanie introduced the concept of ‘brave space’ in the recently concluded training workshop in New York. “A ‘brave space’ acknowledges that there is risk, difficulty, and controversy associated with discussing issues of identity, oppression, power and privilege. Conversations will not feel comfortable; we must be courageous.”
