Following 1967 war, Israel annexed East Jerusalem and extended its municipal boundaries incorporating larger parts of the West Bank. Al Nu'man village, east of Beit Sahour, suddenly found itself within the extended Jerusalem municipal boundaries. Overnight the residents of Al Nu'man became “illegal” residents in their own village as the vast majority of them hold West BanK ID and were not given Jerusalem IDs.
The residents have faced a wave of demolitions since then. In 2002, the village of Al Nu'man also started to witness the construction of the Israeli Wall on its lands, which isolates it from the nearby Palestinian communities. There is only one entrance and exit from the village through an Israeli military checkpoint which can only be passed by Palestinians from Al Num'an registered on a list, meaning that the residents from Al Nu'man cannot have visitors from outside the village
Al Shawara Family
Sami Daoud Al Shawawra has three children, one girl aged 4 and two boys aged 6 and I ½ . The family received a demolition order in 2003 on grounds of having built their home without a legal permit. In December 2010, the Israeli authorities came at 5.30am to carry out that order; the Al Shawara family were given 10 minutes only to salvage whatever property they could. The family was still gathering their belongings inside the house when the demolition started.
Since the demolition, the family of five has been forced to live in a tent throughout the winter. They became sick, particularly the youngest child. The mother suffers from depression. The father apart from some livestock, has no gainful employment.
There is no property available to rent in Al Numan, and building outside the village would require a considerable amount of money: “Our right is destroyed..this is inhumane...If I stay like this, I will become crazy. When they destroyed the house, they destroyed our lives. It is miserable, my family tried for days to enter the village but they could not. I need to leave this village and rebuild somewhere.”

14 January 2017. Yambio: A child collects water from a water tank built by UNICEF in Kisanga residential area in Yambio, South Sudan. UNICEF built four new water points run by solar panels in town to provide to a potential population of 12,000.
Yambio and most of the rest of the formerly Western Equatorial State, has experienced periodic population displacement since around mid-2015 when fighting broke out between government forces and armed rebel groups. Now the town is currently hosting a total of 4,000 displaced, mostly living among the local community.
Humanitarian agencies, including UNICEF, are providing health and nutrition assistance as well as basic supplies such as mosquito nets, buckets and soap.

5 July 2017. Lankien: Duor Jany (11), seriously affected with cholera, lays on a bed on July 5, 2017, at the clinic run by Doctors Withouth Borders (MSF) in Lankien, Jonglei, South Sudan. The cholera outbreak in the region has reached a moderate increase for the past weeks.
Fighting between Government and opposition forces last April pushed thousands of civilians to displace to Padding and Lankien, both still under opposition control. The massive displacement, that duplicated the population, brought an outbreak of cholera and a serious need of health assistance, drinking water and food distribution among the population, according to the local leaders.

The project explores a relationship between hydrothermal chemistry, the passage of time, and the evolution of sound. The project consists of several small chemical garden formations in a water glass (sodium metasilicate) solution, to provide an insight into research on the origin of life and on chemical processes.

2 August 2016. Wau: A newly displaced woman digs on the ground to build her shelter at the UN Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Wau, South Sudan, on August 2, 2016. Most of the new displaced population in the PoC, which already reached 20,000, complain about the lack of food and water and don't have good shelters to face the rainy season.
In total, more than 83,000 people are estimated to be displaced in the areas in and around Wau town following intense fighting in late June and ongoing skirmished and attacks in July.

Terry Allen's diverse talents and experiences are highlighted in his first outdoor project, Trees, for the Stuart Collection. He remarks upon the continual loss of natural environment at UCSD by salvaging three eucalyptus trees from a grove razed to make way for new campus buildings. Two of these trees, preserved and encased in skins of lead, stand like ghosts within a eucalyptus grove between the Geisel Library and the Faculty Club. Although they ostensibly represent displacement or loss, these trees offer a kind of compensation: one emits a series of recorded songs and the other a lively sequence of poems and stories created and arranged specifically for this project.
For the music tree, William T. Wiley, known for his paintings filled with literary puns and eccentric maps, sings Ghost Riders in the Sky, accompanying himself on a homemade instrument; West Texas singer Joe Ely sings Mona Lisa Squeeze My Guitar, while the Maines Brothers work pedal steel guitars, a Thai band plays, and filmmaker/musician David Byrne sings a song he composed especially for this project. For the literary tree, Bale Allen delivers his poem about scabs, the poet Philip Levine recites, plus there are Navajo chants, translations of Aztec poems, duck calls, and many other sound works. Trees is a continuous project and Allen and others are at work on future contributions.
One could walk through the grove several times before noticing Allen's two unobtrusive trees. Not only do these trees reinvest a natural site with a literal sense of magic but they implicitly make connections between nature and death and the life of the spirit. It is not surprising that students have dubbed this area the "Enchanted Forest."
At the entrance to the Geisel library the third tree of Allen's installation remains silent - perhaps another form of the tree of knowledge, perhaps a reminder that trees must be cut down to print books, perhaps a dance form, or perhaps noting that one can acquire knowledge both through observation of nature and through research.

The Bwasare IDP settlement (in Gasorwe commune, Muyinga province) was set up by the local administrator in 1998 to settle ethnic Tutsi and Batwa closer to their place of origin. These IDPs had fled five years earlier to various locations in the province. About 550 people currently live in the settlement, which is close to a communal centre and a main road. Most of the inhabitants are able to farm the land from which they were displaced.

Displacement ventilation is an air distribution system that circulates air through diffusers located near the floor level and displaces, or moves, the existing air into return ducts near the ceiling.

Mom and I headed out to get to Aurora, IL...moving into college the next day. We crashed at the same hotel we did last time...bad idea. I went out into the hallway and talked on the phone with Garry and just began to sob. My monthly started causing hormones to pump through my body making me super emotional in an emotional time. Yay hormones.
The last time I was in that hotel I wasn't sure if I wanted to be at Aurora. I knew that in a few days I could go home and be with Garry...and the realization that I wouldn't be having that this time was crushing. I was terrified and dreading the next day.
So, hotel, keep those memories as I move on.
TRF: I am no longer in EST but now Central time! Woo! One hour closer to Garry :)
