The showstopper of Shuruq Harb's "Ghost at the Feast" was a freestanding wall full of names and dates, 207 of them in total, placed flush on small rectangular plates made of steel, paint, and vinyl. Taller than a person and wider than a truck, the work bisected the largest exhibition hall in the Beirut Art Center, obscuring one of the doors to the venue's theater, where rights groups such as Legal Agenda were meeting to discuss issues well beyond art. The nameplates, made in the style of the city's neighborhood-level street signage, featured crisp white print on deep-blue backgrounds—reminiscent,
MYTHOLOGIES RARELY SERVE the artists who inspire them. Ouattara Watts has now entered his fifth decade of painting. His oeuvre consists of the large-to-monumental canvases he has been making prodigiously for forty-five years, alongside lesser-known watercolors, gouaches, drawings, and collages. Over time, he has developed an expansive and wildly complex visual language. It is also unabashedly joyful, even beautiful, insisting on a universal purpose for painting. More than a body, his is a forest of works, too vast, dense, and important to be detoured by an origin story. And yet the origin story

ON THE GROUND: BEIRUT
IN THE SUMMER OF 551, a massive earthquake struck the Eastern Mediterranean. It was late in the reign of the Roman emperor Justinian I. Beirut at the time was famous for its law school. The city had already been settled for thousands of years. It had been destroyed and rebuilt several times over by ransacking armies who prized the maritime possibilities of its port. The quake of 551 triggered a fire, a landslide, and a devastating tsunami, which pulled back the sea and then pounded the coast. Beirut was leveled. More than thirty thousand people are thought to have died. The city remained in

Each of them is at once a work of continuity and rupture, from the quirky Hell Notes, 1990, which scours the bedrock of Manhattan and loops around the island's coastline while piecing together a collage-like Super 8 meditation on the subjects of land, money, sewage, and waste, to the prickly i confess, 2019, which links a passionate rereading of James Baldwin's ravishing novel Another Country (1962) to an extremely discomforting reconsideration of the writer Pierre Vallières, who led the

"She is willing to risk the big gesture, to employ huge formats so that her essentially intimate revelations may be more fully explored and delineated," O'Hara continued in his catalogue essay. "She is willing to declare erotic and sentimental pre-occupations full-scale and with full conviction."

IN THE MID-1980S, the Egyptian writer Mahmoud Abdel-Razik Afifi noticed that whenever fans gathered in a stadium in Cairo to watch football, their attention was easily drawn to pigeons flying overhead. Afifi wrote popular novels about sex, religion, and fame. According to a critic at Cairo University, he was a literary outcast who appealed to marginalized readers. The press snubbed him, as did the mainstream publishing industry. As a result, Afifi was primarily self-published. Following his avian epiphany, he developed a set of ingenious publicity stunts.

Louvre Abu Dhabi was inaugurated last week and hailed by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, as an embodiment of beauty, reason and fraternity against "the discourses of hatred". VIPs, dealers who had sold to the museum, journalists and other guests were invited from all over the world to celebrate. In a gesture of inclusiveness that is rare in the region, the workers who had built the Jean Nouvel-designed museum on Saadiyat Island were given their own party. Louvre Abu Dhabi's director, Manuel Rabaté, was present, and he later tweeted an acknowledgement of their role in its creation.
Yet questions remain over the welfare of these and other construction workers, mostly migrants from the Indian subcontinent, on the island. The decade-long museum project—established in 2007 by a 30-year intergovernmental contract between France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—has been repeatedly criticised by human rights groups and activists who say that there have been persistent labour abuses on the site. Such is the sensitivity of the issue that two journalists reporting on Louvre Abu Dhabi's opening were detained and interrogated by UAE authorities for more than 50 hours after they filmed Pakistani workers at an open-air market.
Responding to Nouvel's comments to the Guardian newspaper in September that accusations of exploitation were an "old question", the Gulf Labor coalition of artists and activists has renewed its "boycott of cultural institutions on Saadiyat Island", including the still-unbuilt Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum. "Imagining that one can cleanly compartmentalise the world of high culture from the conditions in which its institutions are realised, is the real 'old question'," the group says in a statement.
The construction of the island's museums is overseen by the Emirati government-owned Tourism, Development and Investment Company (TDIC). The developer says that "protecting workers' welfare and rights is and has always been a critical priority", pointing to its "best-in-class" housing facility, Saadiyat Accommodation Village, and Employment Practices Policy "based on international best practice"—both of which were established in 2009. The company appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to monitor the enforcement of the policy in 2011.
The firm has since issued four annual reports based on thousands of interviews with employees of the many contractors and subcontractors building Louvre Abu Dhabi and other Saadiyat sites. The reports "independently validate what human rights organisations have been saying for many years", says Sarah Leah Whitson, the executive director of the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch (HRW). They document TDIC's practical efforts to address abusive labour practices that are endemic in the Gulf, including employers retaining workers' passports and delaying or withholding wages and employees having to pay their own recruitment and relocation fees. The developer also created a permanently manned confidential hotline for workers to report problems.
The next and final PwC report will be released in early December to cover 2016 and 2017, TDIC says. The firm's 2015 survey, published in January 2016, noted improvements such as tougher rules on reimbursing recruitment and relocation fees, while drawing attention to the developer's lack of internal compliance staff and inconsistent or insufficient penalties for transgressions. PwC also recommends a "broader 'lessons learned' exercise within TDIC… to ensure changes and improvements are made prior to awarding future projects".
HRW's own 2006 report on the exploitation of migrant construction workers in the UAE prompted a series of government reforms. Yet despite legislative progress, Whitson says there remains an "inadequate enforcement of rules" in a country where trade unions and strikes are criminalised and there is still no minimum wage. "You have the bizarre outcome of one of the richest countries in the world paying workers $200 a month."
The opening of Louvre Abu Dhabi should not exempt the museum from further commitments to the rights of migrant workers, Whitson says. "We are still demanding that the [museum] ensure that permanent workers are given the same protections that we wanted construction workers to have." Compared to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and New York University, which opened a campus on Saadiyat Island in 2014, "the Louvre was the least responsive to the issues that we were raising", she adds.
Agence France-Muséums—the French body that advises on the collections and museography of Louvre Abu Dhabi—says it has "maintained a permanent, demanding and constructive dialogue" with TDIC over workers' welfare. A spokeswoman for the Musée du Louvre in Paris says: "As a universal museum born in the Age of Enlightenment, the Louvre upholds fundamental principles of respect for human rights."

Bruce Springsteen released his first album in 1973, but it was his second album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle in 1974 that led a rock critic to call him "the future of rock'n'roll." A year later Springsteen released Born to Run to critical and popular success, and he was a bona fide rock star, nicknamed "The Boss." In the '80s he released The River to huge success, and his 1984 album, Born in the U.S.A. was on top of the charts for seven weeks. In the '90s Springsteen left his back-up band and recorded solo, but by the end of the decade was touring with them again. Known for his songs about working-class Americans and for his generous and frequent live performances, Springsteen has been one of the top rock acts for nearly three decades. His 2005 album, Devils & Dust earned five Grammy nominations, winning one for best solo rock performance.

All the art work has been updated with exception to the icon and the stability is great having been field tested on android for about 3 months now.

'Dear Friends in Christ' – Bishop Vincent's homily from 16 May 2021

Most Reverend Vincent Long Van Nguyen OFM Conv DD STL, Bishop of Parramatta
Homily for Mass of the Ascension of the Lord Year B 2021 at St Madeleine Sophie Barat Parish, Kenthurst
Readings: Acts 1:1-11; Ephesians 4:1-13; Mark 16:19-20
Commissioned to enliven the world with the Good News
"Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation". With these parting words, Jesus entrusted to His disciples the mission of transforming the world according to the will of God. The Ascension that we celebrate today is a threshold moment. It marked the end of the earthly mission of Jesus and the beginning of ours. We, His disciples empowered by His living spirit are to be the visible presence of God here on earth. We are what is left of the Gospel.
Scripture today describes the event in ways that are foreign to us. The ancients understood God to dwell on the heights. He spoke to Moses for instance on Mount Sinai. The Psalms describe him as riding on the clouds in order to watch over the earth. By ascending, Jesus was understood to reclaim His divine status. Like the Father-God who rides on the wind and the clouds, Jesus is now in a position to see, to care, to intervene, to heal, to forgive and to liberate. He is now in a position to enforce and ensure the reign of divine justice in the world.
What matters is that the Good News story does not end with His earthly disappearance. The Ascension marks the point at which the disciples must take up the mission begun by Jesus. There can be no idle looking up at the sky. Rather, as the two angelic messengers affirm, the time has come for them to go forth as witnesses "to the ends of the earth." Like the angels in the empty tomb story, they commanded the disciples to seek and to be the presence of Jesus beyond all human boundaries.
This command is repeated in the Gospel. The risen Christ commissions the disciples to go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. What does it mean to be the people of Good News? We find the answer when we look at the life, ministry and teaching of Jesus. To be the people of Good News means to form a community of faith, hope and love.
We are to be a society, which is counter-cultural or even antithetical to the dominant social system. We are called to practice an ethic of concern, care, support for one another and for the long-term wellbeing of God's beautiful world. The Christian way of living cannot be other than the way shown in Jesus' radical simplicity, solidarity and communion with God's people and creation.
It is a daunting task. But we are inspired by the example of the early Christian community. We are told that it was poorly resourced, few in numbers, marginalised by the dominant society and persecuted by the power that be. Yet the fledgling Church was a powerhouse of prayer, love and solidarity. In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, they showed to the world what it was like to be a force for social transformation. In the face of the ruthless imperial system, they formed an alternative society under God's rule, a community of radical inclusivity, hospitality and justice.
We are called to follow their example and become the mirror of the Gospel for the society in which we live. If we truly emulate Jesus' unashamed solidarity with the oppressed, we cannot be comfortable with the punitive policy on refugees or the plight of Rohingyas, Palestinians, West Papuans and other minority groups around the world. If we pursue social justice and concern for God's creation in the name of the Kingdom, we cannot ignore the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth. In the world where people are motivated by short-term gains, Christians work on a long-term plan for a shared destiny of hope, communion and life for all. This is the legacy of Jesus and His Gospel.
It is a paradox that the Ascension was the trigger event for the undertaking of this legacy. It fortified the Church's commitment to be the visible presence of Jesus. It launched the Christian movement as a force to be reckoned within the world, a force not to dominate but to serve, not to rule but to transform from within. It made them realise that if the world had any chance of a new and better future, they would have to be the witnesses to Jesus, His ministry of healing, His outreach of compassion, His courage in standing with the outcast, His audacity in overcoming entrenched attitudes of exclusion and his work for justice.
Let us not be afraid of embracing and enacting the new future inaugurated by Jesus. Let us be resolute in our commitment to be the sign of God's Kingdom and the movement for transformation. St Paul reminds us in the second reading that the purpose of the Christian life is not an escape from this world but a building up of the Body of Christ to full realisation through our God-given gifts. Let us go forward in our mission to make a difference in the world, confident of the victory of Christ and his promise to be with us till the end of time.

Adelaide's urban reservoir reserves set to open
Working together to tackle fire threat
Caring for our reservoirs
Enjoy, explore, preserve Myponga Reservoir Reserve
Nestled near the township of Myponga on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula, about an hour's drive south of Adelaide, is the Myponga Reservoir Reserve. The trail here is ideal for walking and running with room for families to enjoy a picnic. You can also head to the lookout to take in the scenic surrounds. Shore-based fishing is available in the fishing zone.
The flora graphic used here for Myponga is Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon).
Open 1 October to 30 March, 7.30am – 8pm, 1 April to 30 September, 7.30am – 5pm. Closed on Good Friday, Christmas Day, Total Fire Ban Days and for operational activity (gates will be closed).
Fishing available, permit required
Wildlife and birdwatching
Fees apply only for fishing permits
Activities and facilities
To prepare for your visit, please check the conditions of access.
With a fishing permit, you can drop a line in the from the shoreline in the fishing zone.
The 3.3km (approx.) loop track on the south east side of the reservoir takes you through open plains, forested areas and native vegetation. The unsealed trail is suitable for walking and running.
The unsealed trail at Myponga is a shared-use path for both cyclists and walkers. Please be considerate of other trail users.
There are several picnic tables along the trail and of course you're welcome to pack a picnic basket complete with a blanket or chairs so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
The lookout above the Myponga dam wall on the western side of the reservoir is the prime stop for a stunning view of the reservoir, the dam wall and its spillway.
Take some time and see if you can spot some of the special species that call Myponga home. More than 120 bird species live in the area including some that enjoy life by the water and others that can be found inland. You can also watch for native animals, lizards and listen for frogs.
Dogs are not welcome at reservoir reserves as they can carry harmful organisms that can easily contaminate the water and present a risk to the safety of the drinking water. Dogs also pose a threat to local native birds and wildlife. Assistance animals are accepted.
Algae occur naturally in reservoirs and occasionally algal blooms can occur. This is more likely in the warmer months of the year, and they are not always visible.
Regular testing is undertaken as part of SA Water's routine water quality monitoring. During a blue-green algal bloom, water treatment is adjusted to ensure the continued supply of safe, clean drinking water for customers.
Some blue-green algae produce toxins which can be harmful to humans and animals. Contact with the untreated water in the reservoir when high levels of blue-green algae are present can be harmful to your health.
When blue-green algae levels are extreme, reservoirs are closed to all activities that involve contact with the water, including fishing and kayaking/canoeing.
Signage on site will be updated and specific access and closure details are available on each reservoir page on this site.
To find out more, read SA Health's information about blue-green algae health impacts and how to avoid illness.

What sets Myponga Reservoir apart
Capacity: 27.6 gigalitres (there are one billion litres in a gigalitre), that's enough to fill more than 55 Adelaide Ovals with water
Built: 1958-1962
Myponga Reservoir was built at a time of rapid economic expansion in South Australia. This reservoir, along with the raising of the Mount Bold Dam wall (also completed in 1962) increased the state's storage capacity by 10 million gallons (45.46 million litres) supporting population growth and the expansion of industry in Adelaide's south.
The idea of constructing a dam at Myponga River was investigated as early as 1930, but plans were delayed in favour of building Mount Bold Dam first.
In planning the project, a model was constructed in the hydraulics lab at the Adelaide University to determine the best design of the spillway to manage flood conditions.
The construction camp included:
three permanent buildings
six weatherboard buildings to house 12 single working men
a recreation room
a mess room
a bathroom and laundry building
an administration building
three garages.
Apart from the three permanent buildings, the others were dismantled and removed once the reservoir was built.
Find out how much water is currently stored in the reservoir.
Myponga Reservoir mystery
Two roads lie under the reservoir: the original Myponga Yankalilla main road and the Lovely Valley road. New roads were constructed to replace these, one taking you across the reservoir to the south of Myponga, and the other taking you across the dam wall on the western side of the reservoir. Also under the water is the site of the Lovely Valley School which was open from 1865 until 1869.
Myponga Reservoir is one of 16 across the state that help supply water to more than 1.7 million South Australians.
Water from the reservoir is treated at the Myponga Water Treatment Plant before it is supplied to customers living on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Treating drinking water before it's supplied to people's homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and more, is important to make sure it is clean and safe to drink straight from the tap. You can learn how SA Water treats water and maintains the quality its customers value and rely upon.

It's been a while since we have seen desi girl Priyanka Chopra on-screen in Bollywood films. 'Jai Gangajal' was Priyanka's last film and since then, she has been busy with her Hollywood commitments. But now PeeCee is back and everyone wants to know which project she is taking next.
After playing a badass villain and an FBI cop, Priyanka is all set to explore the outer space world. According to a media report, she has signed a biopic based on late astronaut Kalpana Chawla. There were rumours that the actress was offered the lead role and now has locked this project.
The film is being helmed by debutant Priya Mishra. "I have been working on it for the past seven years. A new production banner will back the project. I was last heading a TV channel creatively and post 2011, quit to pursue filmmaking. This is one of the two scripts that I have written," Priya Mishra told Mid-Day.
For people who don't know Kalpana Chawla, she was the first female Indian astronaut who travelled to the outer space. Born in Karnal, Haryana in March 1962, Chawla studied in Tagore Bal Niketan School and completed aeronautical engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. In 1982, she moved to US and six years later she started working with NASA. However, in February 2003, she and her fellow mates died when her space shuttle Columbia exploded.
"The talks are going on. It's still a work in progress. If everything goes as planned, one can expect Priyanka to soon start working on this film," says a source close to the team.
If the reports are to be belived, this will be Priyanka's second biopic film after Mary Kom. But other reports claim that the actor has signed 'Pink' director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhary's thriller film. However, nothing official has been announced yet. So is Priyanka all set to explore the space or get in the grey mode? Guess we still need to wait to know more.
Meanwhile, Priyanka is back to Mumbai after wrapping up the second season of 'Quantico' and will be seen promoting her Hollywood debut 'Baywatch' also starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.

These pictures are from the night of Ghost hunting on the Gettysburg Battlefield at the "Old Alms Cemetery". August 15, 2015.
Taken T 8:50 pm. Weather was clear and in the 70's.
We were taking EVPs and flash pictures in this cemetery. We were all alone and nobody else was with us. I didn't realize that this appeared on my picture until I was home going over them.
You will see the orginal picture, one that had the back ground lighten from my photo editor, a chose of the union jacket and then of the arm.
We been going ghost hunting for over 2 years now and mostly on the Gettysburg Battlefiield. Best one yet.
I have been still working out what is being shown in the pictures? We have decide after doing some looking closer with my reenactor friend, that what I believe to be an arm is really the butternut pants that a Confederate soldier would wear.
So the final decision is that it is a rebel soldier with no arm shown out of the sleeve of the jacket. The bottom part is the pants.
I have reviewed the picture of the jacket with my friend which is also an reactor as a Union General. He said that it appears more to be a rebel over coat. A Yankee jacket, it would be a darker blue.
If my grandson and I would have seen this with our eyes instead of a camera, I don't know if we would have stayed any longer in the cemetery? I have personally see spirits, but never in complete form as this and actually leaving a shallow. I have seen dark shallows before, but not like this time.

Mini Morrisburg: plans for an HO scale model of the village as it was before the Seaway
by James Morgan on November 4th, 2017
The business section of Morrisburg, Ontario in the 1950s before flooding from the seaway. This photo was taken looking east on Highway 2. The intersection with Highway 31, at the left, was evidently busy enough in the 1950s to warrant traffic lights. The village war memorial is located behind the Texaco sign for the station owned by Arthur Edgerton, who was also a member of the village council when the seaway opened. Photo: The Rev. George H. Smith, Copyright held by Claire Delage. Photo used by permission from John Gleed.
An interest in the past
Morrisburg Ontario is being rebuilt, in miniature. The village on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence River (opposite Waddington, NY) was partially relocated in the 1950s when the St. Lawrence Seaway was built, but resident John Gleed has launched a project to construct a scale model of the village as it looked before the relocation and flooding.

"It's a beautiful little spot," said Gleed about the village he retired to in 2008 after a career in Ottawa's high-tech hub. He said he was fascinated by the Seaway project and "how it completely changed the region."
Indeed, almost all of Morrisburg south of what is today's Lakeshore Drive is now underwater. That area includes what was the town's original business section, many homes, the former Lock 23 on the old canal system, and the Canadian dock for the former Morrisburg-Waddington ferry. Most of residential Morrisburg was spared, but some houses were moved, or new ones built on new streets. The business area was relocated to the shopping plaza along the new alignment of Highway 2.
John Gleed has combined his interest in how his town looked 60 years ago with his photography hobby, which includes flying a drone along the St. Lawrence River to get shots of the scenery and passing ships. He obtained old maps of Morrisburg from before the Seaway, maps showing plans of the relocated areas, and began overlaying them with present-day Google images. That's how he got the idea to re-create how Morrisburg originally looked.
The Morrisburg-Waddington ferry used to take passengers over to Broder Island for the village's annual community picnic. This is from what was probably one of the final excursions in the 1950s. Photo: The Rev. George H. Smith, Copyright held by Claire Delage. Photo used by permission from John Gleed.
Right now, the project is in the planning and fundraising stages. Gleed has assembled a 12-member, volunteer project team of other Morrisburg residents who have interest and knowledge about their community before and after the seaway. The town is part of the South Dundas municipality and the council recently endorsed the model village project. Gleed wants to raise $200,000 (Canadian) in total–$100,000 for the actual model village itself, and another $100,000 for future maintenance. Donations are being accepted through the South Dundas Waterfront Committee and are eligible for income tax receipts. Corporate sponsorship from the surrounding region is being sought, along with cooperation from organizations like the chamber of commerce. SCUBA diving is a popular activity along the St. Lawrence River in areas flooded by seaway construction, and Gleed is also hoping for help from people involved in that activity because of their interest in places that are now underwater.
Upper Canada Village before it opened in 1961. The site included many buildings relocated from areas now submerged. Library and Archives Canada; MIKAN# 4314268
Miniature Morrisburg will be built using HO model railroad scale. Unlike those plastic kits for miniature railroad stations and town buildings that are sold in hobby shops, everything for Morrisburg will have to be one of a kind. In order to make the models as accurate as possible, the plan is to distribute detailed photographs and dimensions of buildings to volunteers who will then build them. Fortunately, private collectors and the St. Lawrence Parks Commission have extensive collections of photographs of pre-inundation buildings and communities. Gleed is hoping to work with local schools to get students involved, especially those in shop and art classes to help with building and decorating. The idea behind that plan is to teach students art and construction skills, but to also teach them the history of their community.
A heritage exhibit
Organizers of the model village project are hoping the finished product becomes a visitor attraction for Morrisburg. Gleed said it is surprising that many visitors who attend plays at the Upper Canada Playhouse theater, or visit the nearby Upper Canada Village historic site are not aware of the history of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the impact it had on the region. Gleed hopes that the Morrisburg Model Village can become a part of the other local historical attractions that highlight seaway construction and the major changes it made to area communities. Those other attractions include Upper Canada Village, where many of the buildings are structures that were relocated from flooded communities, the Lost Villages Museum in Long Sault which highlights the history of all nine "Lost Villages" that are now submerged, and the Ontario Power Generation visitor center at the Moses-Saunders power dam in Cornwall which explains the entire history of the Seaway project.
The proposed design of the Morrisburg Model Village. Image used by permission from John Gleed.
The Morrisburg Model Village will be located at the eastern end of the park area along Morrisburg's present-day waterfront. The first phase of the project is to create a concrete pad showing the original streets, lots, waterfront, and railroad tracks. The buildings will eventually be placed on the pad under protective glass and attention will be given to the contours of the land, too. A pavilion-style shelter will cover the concrete pad and model village.
There will also be information display panels on the pre-Seaway community and the buildings, along with a list of donors to the project. John Gleed hopes to have the concrete pad portion of the model village project ready for unveiling on July 1, 2018. That day will be the 60th anniversary of Inundation Day. On that date in 1958, the cofferdam on the seaway construction site was blown up and water began to gather—and flood the areas behind the new dams and canals, submerging part of Morrisburg, and all of nine other Ontario villages. More information on the Morrisburg Model Village and how to volunteer or support the project can be found at http://morrisburgmodelvillage.ca.

Hank Hofmann says:
Very interesting; as someone who remembers driving through the old Morrisburg on auto trips to Montreal with my parents, I think this is a great idea for a reconstruction project.
With the advent of VR (virtual reality), what I would love to see some day is a video of actually driving down the main street of old Morrisburg created by using historical photographs and documents.

Remember Bethany Hamilton? She's No Longer Surfing, Not Even Close
Bethany Hamilton was living the dream in Hawaii as a promising surfer with loads of talent. Then, one fateful day in 2003, a terrifying incident changed everything.
During an early morning surf session, a shark attack took her arm and nearly her life. Rather than shy away from the ocean, the 13-year-old girl faced her fears and inspired kids, adults, athletes and people all around the world.
This is the story of a soul surfer who never stopped pursuing her passion.
1. Aloha
Growing up in Hawaii, Bethany Hamilton was living out a childhood that most kids across the country and around the world could only dream of. Being raised out on the islands is unlike anything kids can imagine. Even those who are raised in sunny Southern California don't have the disconnect like these island residents.
While most kids grow up playing with friends on the jungle gym, Hawaii has islands full of natural playgrounds. Like so many others living there, Bethany's favorite "playground" to visit with her friends is by the beach in the water, and surfing is always the activity of choice. However, surfing would change her life forever in the most shocking ways imaginable...
2. Surf Fam
Like a true soul surfer, riding has always been far more than just a passion or pastime for Bethany, it's a way of life. That certainly worked out, considering she was pretty much born into it. Her parents, Tom and Cheri, were both lifelong surfers along with her older brothers, Noah and Tim.
It's a staple that's helped bring the Hamiltons together.
With an array of great locations for big waves on her home island of Kauai and an entire family serving as mentors, it didn't take long for surfing to become second nature for Bethany and it showed from an early age.
3. Boarding Besties
By no means are the Hamiltons unique in their surfing obsession; it won't take much asking around to find that plenty of others in the area are every bit as obsessed. That was especially true of Bethany's best friend, Alana Blanchard, who was always down to hit the waves at the drop of a hat.
Just as fast as Bethany and Alana grew attached to their boards, they formed a bond with each other too. While this passion brought them together, living on such a small island also brought their families close, bringing Bethany and Alana so close that the two families developed their own family bond.
4. Competitive Camaraderie
As their friendship blossomed, so too did their competitive spirit. Bethany and Alana were both obviously gifted and a determined work ethic had them constantly working to improve. That competitive drive didn't just stick to a friendly rivalry. These two were looking for fun in competitive outlets that could present legit challenges.
In fact, Alana eventually developed into such an incredible talent that she eventually gained enough notoriety to turn pro, winning major competitions all around Hawaii and even going on to compete all around the world.
It really did seem like it was fate that set this perfect pair up together.
5. Always Riding
When Bethany wasn't out riding waves, she was most likely still shredding on land. Always on a board, riding consumed her life in the best of ways. By 1998, at only eight years old, Bethany dove into the world of competitive surfing, and she certainly kicked it off with a bang.
In her first competition, the Rell Sunn Menehune Surfing Championships, Bethany showed exactly what she was capable of by dominating the competition and taking first place.
The following year, she followed her first Rell Sunn Menehune Surf Contest victory with wins in both the shortboard and longboard divisions.
But that was only the start...
6. Crushing Competition
The good times kept on coming, as 1999 also marked Bethany's first place finishes were accompanied by her first sponsors! That's right, the nine-year-old surfer was already repping sponsors. Even with her early success, little did Carroll Surfboards and Rip Curl know what a big name talent they had landed.
Bethany always had plenty of time to hone her craft, as her parents decided they wanted to homeschool their daughter.
From hitting the books hard for some old-fashioned schooling to hitting the waves harder for some surf instructions, the Hamiltons sure did get being a rad mom and dad right.
7. Domination
Bethany's rapid ascent to relevance continued on a grander stage. At the same time, sponsors continued to roll in, as she kept climbing the ladder of the world's top ranked amateur surfers. She finally won big, taking first place in the 2002 National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) Open Women's Division.
In July 2003, she followed up that unbelievable first-place finish with yet another impressive outing, coming in second this time.
It seemed like all the right pieces were falling in place with incredible top finishes in competition when, just like that, her entire life changed in the blink of an eye.
8. The Morning Of
On October 31, just a few months after coming in second at the NSSA National Championships, Bethany and Alana were out at Tunnels Beach for an early morning surf session with Alana's dad, Holt, and brother, Byron. Bethany's dad wasn't present, because he was at scheduled for a knee operation at the nearby Wilcox Memorial Hospital.
Tom was stuck inside the hospital likely wishing he could be lounging out beachside in his daughter's company, but little did he know he would end up seeing his daughter far sooner than he could have imagined.
He would see her far sooner than he'd have wanted too...
9. Shark Attack
Bethany was lying belly down on her surfboard, left arm casually dangling off into the water when her tranquil morning came to a screaming halt. Out of nowhere came an intense pressure that pulled at her arm. Oddly, despite the jarring sensation that came over her, there was no feeling of pain.
Initially painless, Bethany confusedly looked around to figure out what had just happened only to see that the surrounding water had turned a deep red.
Alana - out on the water with her friend the whole time - saw the horrifying sight and, after processing what had just happened, screamed for her father's help.
10. Quick Thinking
Holt heard his daughter's screams and immediately leapt into action. After scanning the ocean horizon and realizing what the cries, running to help his daughter's profusely bleeding friend. Alana did her best to keep Bethany calm while Holt brought her to shore, fashioning a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
Fast as Holt had acted, it still didn't look good.
By the time Bethany reached the hospital she had lost 60 percent of her blood.
Her father, who should have been on the operating table had a sudden delay in his surgery, learning that the emergency was for his daughter.
11. E.R.
When the medics rushed Bethany into the hospital, the doctor was stunned at his first sight of where the arm was missing just below the shoulder. The arm had been taken off in such a clean fashion that the surgeon actually thought someone had already performed the amputation without him knowing.
Only a shark bite could produce that type of raw power.
Thankfully, even though the odds looked to be heavily stacked against her, Bethany proved too tough for this horrible attack to be the end.
Relieved and grateful as Tom was that his daughter had survived, he wanted to find the shark responsible.
12. Finding the Culprit
Family member and fisherman Bill Hamilton got a call from Bethany's father, detailing the terrifying attack and pleading that he scour the island to seek out the shark responsible. Two weeks after the accident, they found and captured the shark responsible. The culprit was every bit as terrifying as Bethany's run-in suggested.
It was a nearly 14-foot tiger shark, a predator so dangerous that attacks by the species are second only to the Great White in number of human fatalities.
Despite the horrifying incident, Bethany was looking to do one thing and one thing only: Get back on her board and into the water.
13. Recovery
One thing was crystal clear from the start, Bethany Hamilton was never a victim, not the way she carried herself, at least. Was she a survivor? Without a doubt. But a victim? Not by a long shot. It is this point of view she exhibited that makes her story so incredible.
Even though she was only 13 years old at the time of the attack, her approach to returning to "normalcy" displayed a mental fortitude that had clearly been instilled at a young age.
Already mature well beyond her years, Bethany credits "faith" for getting her through such a traumatic experience.
14. Return
Brutal as the tiger shark attack was, returning to a healthy state of mind may have been even more challenging than the actual process of healing from the bite. "I told myself, 'You can do it. You can paddle and get up with one arm.' But quickly another voice yelled back, "Forget it. You're going to fail,'" Bethany recalled.
With a healthy dose of courage and confidence, Bethany turned from recovery to rehabilitation, so that she could work her way back to getting into the water.
Now that she was physically capable of pushing forward, she could emotionally forge on. Her religious upbringing proved a powerful motivator, as her faith in herself quickly became undeniable.
15. Back At It
"I had about three to four weeks of healing and recovery before I could give surfing with one arm a try. The doctor ordered me to stay out of the water until everything held up. I set a deadline for myself: Thanksgiving Day." Bethany's goal was a bold one, but that's exactly what such courageous requires.
Three to four weeks sounds so soon for such a severe injury it would seem like that Bethany was setting herself up for a worse letdown than simply disappointment.
Far from it, though. On November 26, one day before Thanksgiving, Bethany was back on her board and in the water.
16. Unbelievable
The stunning rate with which a 13-year-old girl was able to overcome so much - mind, body and soul - blew the media out of the water. The incredible comeback story took the news by storm. Who is this girl wonder? How did she manage to do it? The nation needed to know.
Before Bethany knew it, she was swarmed by the media. Everyone wanted to get some insight on such an inspirational story. After all, there were so few shark attack survivors around the world as it is let alone a 13-year-old who was ready to get right back in the water and ride.
17. Help from Dad
Thanks to her father's ingenuity, Bethany was able to return to the sport she loved so much. By crafting a special handle to go on her surfboards that would help her keep a steady grip, Bethany now had an avenue to overcome one of the biggest hurdles of surfing with one arm.
That big problem was duck diving, something that is critical for surfers looking for real waves.
Duck diving is when a surfer plunges under an oncoming wave while paddling out to avoid being swept back towards the shore. Thanks to dad's specially made grip, now she could do just that.
Returning to the tube was a great start, but it only marked the beginning of her comeback. Once she found her footing, Bethany set her sights on the next step of her journey: Get back to competitive surfing. January 10, 2004 marked a surreal moment in competitive surfing history.
After working her way up from a larger longboard, which is easier to ride, back down to a shortboard, it was time to compete again.
At the NSSA regional qualifying event, Bethany Hamilton showed that she was officially back, as she defied the odds to place fifth in the competition.
19. Inspired
Her comeback could only be summed up on way: Stunning. To capture the astounding feat, Bethany released a book, Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board, through MTV, detailing her point of view through her sudden change in fate and remarkable comeback.
Her success story (literally and figuratively) ended up being such an inspiration to so many - young and old alike - that she was invited to the 2004 ESPY Awards where she was amongst the nominees for the Comeback Athlete of the Year.
As if she wasn't already taking over the news, this only further propelled her into the limelight.
20. Honored
Bethany stole the show at the ESPYs, as she ended up winning the Best Comeback Athlete award while delivering a heartwarming and inspirational message in the process. The soul surfer's story of survival was so inspirational that she was later invited to the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards that same year.
Once again, Bethany's bravery swept the crowd off its feet, as she was walked away from the Teen Choice Awards with a special Courage Award.
"Every time I ask [why me?] I think of all the good that has come out of it through my faith," she said, reflecting on the moment.
21. On Top Again
Everything looked like it was really coming together in 2004, but her comeback turned out to be more rapid than anyone could have imagined. Incredible as her return had been over the last year, she really blew expectations out of the water when she returned to the NSSA National Competition.
At 15, Bethany stepped it up to another level in SoCal, ripping her way to a first-place finish in the Open Women's division of the 2005 NSSA National Championships.
If anyone still believed that Bethany's return was little more than a gimmick, this officially washed those doubts away.
22. Next Level
Now that Bethany had proved to the world that she not only believed she could compete with the best, but literally proved she was the best, the only logical next step was to keep on seeing how far she could push her limits. That intense level of focus paid off, literally.
In 2007, Bethany could tack on a new title to "soul surfer." After years of exhibiting her prowess carving up waves, her time finally came to make the leap to the next level.
Bethany Hamilton turned pro.
Staying true to her motivated disposition, simply making the pro circuit merely opened a new door to test herself.
23. Going Hollywood
Bethany had gained such an enormous, incredible group of supporters from all walks of life around the world that Hollywood had heard her story and wanted to share it with the world on the big screen. In 2011, Soul Surfer hit the theaters and ended up being a smash hit.
Hamilton's biopic turned out to be every bit as successful as her autobiography. She even made multiple appearances (as herself, of course) in the film, taking the reins in all of the surfing scenes.
Even after so much success, there was still another fulfillment Bethany was looking for in life.
24. Hot Date
Once again, Bethany's life changed drastically (though for a very different reason this time) in 2012 when she met youth minister Adam Dirks. The two attended church together and, after a little convincing from a friend, Adam eventually worked up the courage to call and ask her out on a date.
The chemistry was as instant as it was undeniable. They were perfect for one another. It isn't just any couple who will share a first date jumping off 40-foot cliffs together, after all!
After going out on a few more dates, they knew it was a match made in heaven.
25. Tying the Knot
There's no embellishment when saying that this perfect pair fell in love fast and hard. When it feels right, it just feels right. That was clearly both Bethany and Adam's sentiment, because in April 2013 they announced their engagement.
Shortly after, in August of the same year, the couple made it official and stated their vows.
Already living in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Bethany and Adam held the ceremony on the north shore of Kauai in front of some 300 close friends and family members.
26. New Competition
The newlyweds went ahead and put their marriage to the test right off the bat, and the whole thing was televised for the world to see. That challenge came in the form of a wildly popular reality show, as they competed on the 25th installment of The Amazing Race.
Given her long history of competitive performances, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that team Soul Surfers absolutely crushed it. They made it all the way to the 12th and final round of the 2014 contest and ended up finishing in third place overall!
27. New Addition
Year after year, Bethany has continually experienced new "firsts" since suffering the fateful shark bite, but this was something none of those prior experiences could prepare her (or her husband) for what came in 2015. On June 1, Bethany and Adam welcomed a new addition to the family with their first son, Tobias.
Bethany excitedly shared the story of naming Tobias after his great grandfather, posting on her Instagram the name's meaning translates to "The goodness of God."
The following year, Bethany was back in the news, although this time it was for doing what she does best again, carving up some waves.
28. Legendary Surf Sesh
Even though she hadn't been competing full-time due to a constantly packed schedule, Bethany once again blew away spectators and her competition in a surreal surf contest. Through a wildcard berth, Bethany entered the Fiji Women's Pro 2016. It was a rough start, finishing last in the first round. A second chance heat pit her against the world's No. 1 ranked surfer, Tyler Wright, who'd won three of the last four events.
Bethany lit up the tube, pulling off an amazing upset that eventually carried her all the way to a third-place finish in what was truly a surreal moment for everyone involved.
Repeated magnificent moments like this are exactly the reason why, in 2017, Bethany earned the ultimate honor of being inducted into the Surfers' Hall of Fame.
29. Another Addition
As time continues to passes on, Bethany's trophy case of accomplishments seems to keep on growing with it. Although it wasn't another gold medal, another big win came in March 2018 when her family once again grew a little bit bigger, as she and Adam welcomed their second son, Wesley, into the world.
Since motherhood clearly hasn't stopped her from shredding, why would it stop her from her other occupations that have brought so much joy and inspiration to so many?
The easy answer is that it hasn't! (Seriously though, just thinking about how much she has on her plate at all times is exhausting!)
30. Inspiring Others
Since 2018 marks the introduction of Bethany's second boy to the world, it's only fitting that she decided to release two new books the same year. Be Unstoppable: The Art of Never Giving Up showcases her passions and perseverance with breathtaking photos while Unstoppable Me is a children's book about a little lion who learns to never give up through her love of surfing.
If releasing two books shortly after welcoming her second child is any indication of things to come, Bethany is in for unimaginable worlds of success in the very near future.
After a harrowing shark attack that nearly took her life, Bethany Hamilton stared in the eyes of adversity and proved that there is no hurdle too high to climb (or wave too big) with enough perseverance.

Floral designer, Cyrille Ribet brought his skills to life with a vivid floral-dress display that he recently did for Florever using Porta Nova Red Naomi roses. Cyrille best describes his style as asymmetric with a refined touch of ikebana movement. He was born in Normandy, a French town famed for her amazing history, charming selection of Coastal landscapes and an enviable selection of French museums. Cyrille honed his design skills as a young lad under the tutelage of his now late mum; and later went on to work vastly as a professional in places such as the Caribbean Island, Mexico, USA, Turks caicos island, Four Season Paris and the Luxe Hotel Switzerland.
For this project, Cyrille used about 350 stems of Porta Nova Red Naomi. He artfully captured a black swan theme with this floral dress design that was also reminiscent of Tim Burton's musical thriller, Nightmare Before Christmas. Armed with a hot glue gun and ribbon, It took the designer two weeks to create the captivating wings and the dress. And a further two days to create the surrounding structure.
"I used 50 porta nova roses for the petals used on the wings, 100 roses for tutu skirt and 200 roses for structure," says Cyrille.
This design and floral installation was also part of a series called Floranthousai whereby Cyrille has teamed up with model Taka Iri and Photographer Enrico Borgogni to tell stories in a floral art form where nature, life moments and the unmatched beauty of a woman is captured and expressed uniquely.
Over winter and during the forthcoming holiday season, Cyrille will yet again be busy at work at the prestigious Kempinski Grand Hotel Des Bains St Moritz in Switzerland where he dreams to create a superb lobby center-piece using Porta Nova Red Naomi roses. Cyrille loves his job because, as he says, there is virtually no limit to one's imagination. And also from the way floristry is as diverse as the many cultures and countries it serves. He is mostly inspired by movies, art, books, nature and women.
Florever is one of the foremost wholesalers in the Italian market supplying cut-flower, plants and floral accessories. They specialize mainly in top quality Dutch products such as Porta Nova Red Naomi with direct purchases to Dutch auctions and offer good optimized transportation of products that allows perfect control during the Dutch-Italy journey.


Jacking up a bunch of treys is generally bad business if you can get the two-pointers in quantity. But if you're not getting shots at any distance, it seems pointless to grumble. And the Thunder have not been getting shots: at the 3:31 mark, when Billy Donovan raised the white flag, OKC had a blah 34-80 (43 percent) from the floor and an appalling 5-27 (19 percent) on the long ball. Faced with this level of ineptitude, all the Blazers had to do was not mess up, and they didn't, handing the Thunder their second consecutive playoff loss, 114-94.
The Blazers' twin guards, as always, contributed the bulk of Portland's offense: 33 for C. J. McCollum, 29 for Damian Lillard. Only one other Blazer made double figures: Moe Harkless, with 14. But all five Portland starters were at least plus 10 for the night, as was reserve big Meyers Leonard. One can argue with the utility of the plus/minus metric — Raymond Felton led all OKC players with a plus-11 after scoring one point in 15 minutes — but the Thunder starters were well and truly skunked, Paul George managing a respectable 27, but Russell Westbrook never got untracked, going 5-20 yet barely missing a triple-double (14-9-11). The one metric where OKC showed big was in turnovers: they horked up the ball sixteen times, which isn't horrible, for 23 Portland points, which is.
Game 3 is Friday in Oklahoma City, and if the Thunder aren't exactly under the gun, you can see a very large grey mass floating over them, in the manner of Al Capp's Joe Btfsplk. So far, it's just rain. But if the Blazers can take Game 3, forget the cloud and Joe Btfsplk; it becomes the anvil and Wile E. Coyote.

Chukchansi (Chuk'chansi) É um dialeto de Foothill e dos Yokuts do vale nos arredores da Picayune Rancheria dos indígenas Chukchansi no vale de San Joaquin, California, falado pela tribo Chukchansi do povo Yokut. Em 2011 havia somente 8 falantes nativos do dialeto.

Atividades
Em maio de 2012, o Departamento de Linguística da Universidade Estadual da Califórnia, Fresno recebeu uma doação de US $ 1 milhão para compilar um dicionário Chuckchansi e textos gramaticais., e "fornecer apoio a bolsas de estudo, programas e esforços para montar textos nativos e criar um currículo para ensinar a língua, para que possa ser trazida de volta ao uso social e ritual.". No entanto, a doação também foi criticada em conexão com a recente exclusão de membros da tribo Chuckchansi..

Gravações da língua foram feitas por Sydney Lamb entre 1953-1957. Esforços para documentar o Chukchansi também foram tentados usando o Phraselator, um dispositivo de gravação portátil desenvolvido para fins militares. "Quando uma pessoa fala no dispositivo em inglês, ela responde com a tradução de Chukchansi." No entanto, a partir de 2007, esses dispositivos eram muito caros para serem amplamente distribuídos.

As aulas de Chukchansi são ministradas na escola primária em Coarsegold, Califórnia, desde 2008. A partir de 2012, as aulas de Chukchansi estão disponíveis para crianças e adultos. A primeira cafeteria da Native American Coffee Company, inaugurada na Coarsegold em 2012, planeja traduzir os nomes de suas bebidas de café para Chukchansi.

A preservação da língua evocou sentimentos fortes. O Presidente Tribal Reggie Lewis enfatizou a necessidade de "preservar, proteger e revitalizar nossa identidade cultural e tradições." Um membro da tribo, que falou de forma bem direta, disse: "Quando os Estados Unidos começaram o genocídio das comunidades indígenas americanas, a razão pela qual eles nos permitiram assinar nossos tratados foi porque tínhamos uma língua ... Gerações de nossos idosos passou por secas e atrocidades, o núcleo da nossa língua é a nossa identidade", acrescentando que ela foi encorajada pelo fato de que "falantes não nativos da comunidade vêm aprender a língua".

Serena Williams gets US Open seedings boost, Rafael Nadal top seed in men's draw
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has announced the seedings for the US Open, and Serena Williams has been seeded 17th.
Six-time US Open winner Williams is currently ranked 26th in the world, but has been seeded nine places higher after she spent more than a year out of the game due to maternity leave.
USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said her seeding was determined by "balancing a variety of factors, including her return to competition following the birth of her daughter, her recent hard court performance this summer, and recognition of her achievements at the US Open".
Serena, who finished runner-up at Wimbledon in July, is seeded one place below her sister Venus.
World No 1 and French Open champion Simona Halep tops the women's seedings ahead of Australian Open winner Caroline Wozniacki, defending US Open champion Sloane Stephens and Wimbledon winner Angelique Kerber.
In the men's draw, world No 1 Rafael Nadal is the top seed ahead of Roger Federer, Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro, Kevin Anderson from South Africa, and Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic.
Kyle Edmund, who was earlier in the day given the nod for the 2018 Lavis Cup, is the only British player who is seeded for the final Grand Slam of the event and he is ranked 16th.

I hope Mike keeps going with this series. There are many interesting personalities in the Python world, and this brings them just a little closer.
I agree that this is an awesome stuff. It opens the culture that people belong to, which is rather important for communication.
However, I can not trace the start of the Mike series, because Wordpress shows only last 10 posts per tag.

Greece's radical left could kill off austerity in the EU
by Owen Jones
Another war looms in Europe: waged not with guns and tanks, but with financial markets and EU diktats. Austerity-ravaged Greece may well be on the verge of a general election that could bring to power a government unequivocally opposed to austerity. Momentous stuff: that has not happened in the six years of cuts and falling living standards that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
But if the radical leftist party Syriza does indeed triumph in a possible snap poll in the new year, there will undoubtedly be a concerted attempt to choke the experiment at birth. That matters not just for Greece, but for all of us who want a different sort of society and a break from years of austerity.
What misery has been inflicted on Greece. One in four of its people are out of work; poverty has surged from 23% before the crash to 40.5%; and research has demonstrated how key services such as health have been hammered by cuts, even as demand has risen. No wonder the country has experienced a political polarisation that has prompted comparisons with Weimar Germany. The neo-Nazi Golden Dawn – which makes other European rightist movements look like fluffy liberals – at one point attracted up to 15% in the polls; though still a menace, its support has thankfully subsided to half that.

Leslie says they don't always have a car. They have no money for gas. They have struggled a lot, and they have seen Alvarez-Dominguez suffer a lot.
When someone with a mental disability is arrested and winds up in federal court, their attorney has to reveal whether the person is competent to stand trial. The defendant must then go through analysis and restoration before even entering a plea.
The federal statute says Alvarez-Dominguez and anyone else found incompetent must wait in jail to go to one of two psychiatric facilities in the United States for what they call "competency restoration." That's where psychologists treat people like Alvarez-Dominguez and prepare them for trial. They give them a crash course on how the court system works, what everyone's role is so they can help their cases.
That can take a long time. The hard part is they have to wait it out in jail. It's a slow process that's been exacerbated by COVID-19.
Even though it was a long wait, Alvarez-Dominguez was one of the lucky ones. He was "restored" and released from jail right before the pandemic struck. More than 182,000 inmates have contracted the coronavirus in custody, according to the Marshall Project. More than 1,400 people have died from the virus in prison.
"COVID has been a big tragedy in the criminal justice system," said Luke Mulligan, an assistant federal public defender based in Flagstaff. "It's paused the process and that's what the constitution gives everybody is this right to due process and because we didn't have grand juries because we didn't have trials it's really caused a lot of delay in everything."
So thousands of people wait in jail — often in isolating pandemic conditions.
"The folks this applies to are often the people who are most negatively affected by incarceration," Mulligan said. "You have people with serious mental illness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, developmental disabilities. Jail is not a therapeutic setting for people of the soundest mind."
Mulligan says some state courts allow for out-of-custody competency restoration.
"Just from a dollars and cents perspective, I think it makes a lot of sense to keep people local," Mulligan said. "Incarcerating people is terribly expensive. Many of these people don't need to be incarcerated."
A four-month stay in the medical facility is about $24,000. The cost of a bed at one of these facilities is higher than the normal cost of incarceration. Compare that to an outpatient program, which is about $2,000 in Arizona.
Pre-COVID the Federal Bureau of Prisons could handle about 500 people at a time and the forensics evaluation coordinator said in court transcripts there will always be a waitlist for restoration because "they have to use resources effectively and efficiently."
Alvarez-Dominguez's attorney Christina Woehr says those beds aren't just for competency restoration.
"If someone is acquitted by virtue of insanity they have to be sent there," Woehr said. "Those beds are also for people that have a mental emergency crisis issue and need inpatient treatment. They also get sent there. So there's a lot of competition for those beds."
In Tucson, federal public defender Edie Cunningham is working to get outpatient restoration for clients who are not violent or at risk of fleeing.
"How do you tell somebody, 'Well, you've done really well, you've done everything you're supposed to do for pretrial release but you still have to go into jail before your trial anyway because it doesn't appear that you understand everything that's going on'? It's basically punishing someone because they have some sort of a mental disability. It's just wrong," Cunningham said.
Cunningham said it will take an act of Congress or the courts deciding the current practice is unconstitutional to put it to an end.
