It is perhaps the largest Somali museum in the world, with more than 2,000 artifacts from the country's history, culture and history.
These include abstract paintings that evoke deep memories and emotions, while critically reflecting on how the war has affected Somalia and its people over the years. The museum has pieces that are used in everyday situations and has artworks by Somali artists. It has been open since 1977 and has more than 2000 carefully hand-crafted items, such as the beautifully carved spoon above, which are used for daily life. Throughout the museum, visitors will find a variety of beautifully handcrafted items and carefully carved spoons, as well as a collection of paintings and sculptures by Somali artists that reflect life in Somalia or the life of a Somali in Minnesota. These artifacts represent Somali culture, which often comes directly from the homes of the residents of Hargeisa as they come from their homes.
The Somali Museum of Minnesota has a collection of artifacts that embody a story that has never been written, as well as artifacts from various parts of the world.
Such material is kept in both Somalia and Somaliland and the collection continues to grow. The collection also includes items donated to the museum by families and artists from Somalia or abroad, as well as items from the Somali Museum of Minnesota's own collection of Somali artists and writers that can be transported for workshops and events. In addition to its collections of paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, ceramics and other materials, the Somalia Museum also owns a large number of books, magazines, newspapers, books and books on the history and culture of Somalia.
In June, the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul will open an exhibition documenting the history of the Somali diaspora in Minnesota and the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. On January 23 at 5 p.m., a lecture on "Somali History and Culture in America" will be given by a retired Marine Corps colonel who served as a Special Forces officer in Somalia during World War II, by the director of the Museum of Public Affairs, Dr. John Rble, and other museum staff. Rubel, who left Somalia in 1989 and now lives in Ohio, has been documenting the Somali hunt for five years.
After hearing that the collections of Somalia's National Museum in Mogadishu had been looted and dispersed, Ali began seizing artifacts in 2009. After all, he had enough pieces to create a moving exhibition, and through the efforts of Ali and his Somali community, they collected enough artifacts to establish a museum at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul, Minnesota's largest museum.
The museum will be the first to display Mogadishu artifacts that are no longer in use. The museum's aim is to highlight the history and culture of Somalia and the importance of the region's cultural heritage.
The museum was partially opened by the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the independence of our country. Two years earlier, Mama Maryan, who was working for social cohesion in Somalia and the promotion of its rich culture, began an ambitious project to contribute to the physical rehabilitation of a national museum. The president and his wife, commonly known as "MamaMaryan," are preparing to celebrate the reopening of the museum in Mogadishu with their family and friends.
He admits that before he got involved in the project, visions of pirates, war and famine came to mind when he thought of Somalia. Somali museums in Mogadishu and Hargeysa, which suffered severe looting of their entire collections during the ongoing Somali civil war. The Cultural History Museum is one of the oldest and most important cultural institutions in Somalia and the only one still in operation, but it was also destroyed by the war, according to Mama Maryan.
The museum is an important part of the preservation of traditional Somali art and folklore by connecting Somali youth to their heritage and educating them about their cultural heritage. It provides a space to promote memories and memories of Somalia and its history, and also provides artists with space to express themselves as Somali-Americans. The museum calendar includes special events, including the annual Somali Cultural Festival, a celebration of Somali culture and history. You can sample Somali food at Quruxlow, just a block away, or visit the Somali Museum in Hargeysa and the Cultural History Museum in Mogadishu, or visit the Somali Museum and Cultural Centre in Somaliland, both of which run until 9 June 2019.
The seas in this region of Somalia also have large coral reefs where tourists can snorkel and dive. When in Hargeisa, don't miss the opportunity to visit the pristine beach of Berbera, Somalia, a popular tourist destination for tourists and locals alike.

- Where do emissions come from?
For the first time in human history, people are changing the Earth's climate by emitting so-called greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main cause is the dramatic increase in the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution.
The Earth's climate is always changing. Only 20,000 years ago, much of Northern Europe was covered in an enormous glacier that was up to three kilometers thick! The Alps and the Pyrenees mountains were covered with smaller ice caps. Sudden climate shifts happened quite frequently during the Ice Age, and made the ice expand or contract. In the cold climate south of the ice-covered areas, small groups of people hunted reindeer, wild horses, and bison.
People living in the Ice Age left behind stone tools and fantastic cave paintings but their way of life was about to disappear. Over thousands of years, the Earth's orbit around the sun changed, summers became warmer and the ice began to melt. The Ice Age ended around 10,000 years ago. Since then, the climate in Northern Hemisphere has been warmer and far more stable. Over the last 10,000 years the climate has been milder and people have developed agriculture, cities, and civilization – which would have been far more difficult during the Ice Age.
1. CAVE PAINTING: Painting of a wild horse from the Lascaux cave in France, painted about 12,000-17,000 years ago. When the Ice Age ended, people's way of life changed and they stopped making cave paintings.
We will always be at risk of unexpected and unpleasant climate changes resulting from natural causes. For example, around 400 years ago Europe experienced a relatively cold period called the Little Ice Age (but not as cold as a real ice age). What is different about the situation today is that we risk rapid changes in climate caused by people. Because of our increasing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, we expect that over the next hundred years we will see the fastest warming of the Earth since the end of the Ice Age.
As long as we humans have existed on Earth, we have affected the environment around us. In the past, the effects of our hunting or agricultural activities on the environment were local. This changed with the Industrial Revolution which began round 1750 and accelerated in the 1800s and 1900s. A revolution is a dramatic social change.
The Industrial Revolution took place when people began to mass produce goods in large factories using machines that ran on energy from coal, and later using oil, natural gas, and electricity. This made it much easier for people to produce goods and helped the development of modern technology. In pre-industrial times – that is, the time before the Industrial Revolution – there were no trains, cars, planes, electric lights, factories, telephones, or televisions.
The more we produce and consume, the more we affect the environment around us. Over the last 50 years we have seen clear signs that humans affect the environment of the entire planet. We are creating environmental problems that are not only local but also global. One of these global environmental problems is man-made climate change, also known as global warming.
Man-made climate change occurs because we emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These emissions come from many sources, including factories and agriculture that supply us with food and other material goods, power plants which provide us with electricity and cars and planes that take us where we need to go.
Greenhouse gases affect the Earth's climate by increasing the greenhouse effect. This is a natural phenomenon where water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere allow sunlight to pass reach the Earth's surface, but then absorb much of the reflected heat from the Earth that otherwise would have escaped to outer space. Without the natural greenhouse effect, the average temperature would be about minus 18°C, and the Earth would be uninhabitable (choose the topic Lower atmosphere if you want to read more about the greenhouse effect).
Emitting greenhouse gases in large amounts increases the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere. This increases the greenhouse effect so that more heat is trapped by the atmosphere. This increases the temperature of the atmosphere and changes the Earth's climate.

The U.S. economy grew slower than previously thought in the second quarter as business inventories and exports were less robust, a government report showed on Friday.
Gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 1 percent, the Commerce Department said, a downward revision of its prior estimate of 1.3 percent. It also said after-tax corporate profits rose at the fastest pace in a year, Reuters reported.
Economists had expected GDP growth to be lowered to 1.1 percent. The economy advanced just 0.4 percent in the first quarter. The second GDP estimate for the quarter confirmed that growth almost stalled in the first six months of this year.
"We were expecting a bit of a downward revision, which reflects the headwinds on the recovery and all the factors we're trying to wrestle to the ground," Paul Ballew, chief economist at Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, Ohio, told Reuters.
"We're expecting that things will be marginally stronger in the last part of the year," he added. "The question is, are we looking at a fourth-quarter recovery?"

Indiana's special education students could receive their diplomas for the first time under the state's House Bill 1426.
Indiana state officials and lawmakers untiringly worked on new House Bill 1426 in their bid to contain all four of the state's current diploma offerings into two while still meeting the needed new federal requirements on reporting.
These two diplomas that are set to replace the old four ones are the new Indiana Diploma which is principally "new" in name only as it still encompasses the designations in the state diplomas it's about to replace.
House Bill 1426 does have something novel under its hood – an alternative diploma that special education students of the state, who are not capable of earning the regular Indiana Diploma, can get.
Alternative Diploma For The Differently-Abled
"This is a monumental leap," said Kim Dodson, The Arc of Indiana's executive director, a nonprofit organization for people with mental and developmental disabilities.
"Receiving a diploma means, they're not just going to get a pat on the back and be on the receiving end of gratefulness for coming to school every day," the director added.
Dodson stated that the movie just shows how these (differently-abled) kids are competent enough to earn diplomas of their own, learn the various skills needed to obtain this vital piece of paper and open doors of opportunities for them after high school.
What The New Diploma Offers
Yes, many special education students go to earn one of the state's four diplomas currently offered to this date. However, there are a lot of kids with intellectual and developmental difficulties who couldn't complete the set of requirements needed for these diplomas. And only certifications were afforded them as it was the only option.
These certificates are not alternatives to and not as-good-as high school diplomas. Therefore, students who are given them aren't counted as high school graduates. As an effect, they couldn't pursue opportunities open for those who got to graduate from high school. Additionally, being without a high school diploma is one massive hurdle for finding work.
The new alternative diploma could be a game-changer.
"For those who are of the high school diploma track, expectations are set at a low level," Dodson voiced out. "We are sincerely hoping that the following endorsement and implementation of the alternative diploma would also significantly change the teaching these kids are getting.
The new federal education law ESSA or Every Student Succeeds Act brought about the state's diploma changes.
ESSA: An Overview
Signed in December 2015, ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) replaced the No Child Left Behind policy as the primary legislation for the country's K-12 public education system. While it was signed years earlier, its impact is set to affect schools in America just this school year – 2017 to 2018.
ESSA is one broad law that covers various education-related areas including kids with mental or developmental difficulties (which stats number as 1 in every five children).
The purpose of the new education law is to ensure that all public schools give quality education to their students including those who belong to these four main disadvantaged groups namely:
Students in the special education curriculum
Students within the poverty bracket
Those whose English language skills are limited
One of its most vital factors is ESSA gives the parents of special education students the opportunity to determine if their children are getting the education that they need.
Most of all, the law offers grants and other literacy programs aimed at getting students to succeed in their lives.
Special Education Teachers Are Walking Out


So Gillard announced a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the catholic church's response to allegations of sexual abuse of children by the clergy. This terrible stench about the whole affair actually looks like the Spanish Inquisition has come a full circle. The persecutor is now the persecuted. You couldn't have a religious institution more vilified. Catholics would be tearing their hearts out and would be terribly ashamed of the disparaging – indeed, incendiary – statements bandied about.
Grave as the accusation is and tragic as the experiences of victims may have been, I wonder if the whole thing has been fair on the general church population. It almost sound like sections of the public are too keen and couldn't wait to have their turn in twisting the knife ever further in. It smacks of pent up rebellious anger against the church, and I suspect not all of it driven by righteous anger Many would simply have rebellion as their cause.

Rhiannon Tudhope: The Preservation of Disunity: Confronting Pain in The Company She Keeps
"The Preservation of Disunity: Confronting Pain in The Company She Keeps"
In, "The Virtues of Heartlessness," Deborah Nelson provides an illuminating analysis of Mary McCarthy's aesthetic. Nelson explores the professional and personal relationship between Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy to reveal the intersection between their ideals. Nelson suggests that McCarthy was deeply fascinated by pain. This observation seems relevant to The Company She Keeps, a compilation of short stories centered around Margaret (Meg) Sargent's search for self-identity. Sargent's journey—from a cruel affair to her resistance of healing—can be seen as not only a pursuit of self-knowledge, but an exploration of suffering.
The Company She Keeps is considered autobiographical, as McCarthy herself admits to shaping the novel around her life experiences. As a result, the distinction between McCarthy and Sargent is often blurred in analyses of the novel. Nelson helps to clarify the coldness and cruelty often attributed to McCarthy's heroine and McCarthy herself. McCarthy rejected empathy and solidarity in favor of confronting the pain of reality. Nelson proposes that McCarthy's aesthetic is grounded in fact . "What makes something a fact seems to be less its informational content than its capacity to alter the observer."[i] Through factuality McCarthy attempted to fight against the self-delusion that plagued society followed World War II. As a result of the horrors committed in war and the inconceivable destruction produced by modern technology, McCarthy noted that, "…the leading characteristic of the modern world is irreality."[ii] In her essay, "The Fact in Fiction," she pushes for writers to recognize the reality (factuality) of the world and to embrace "common sense". The influence of Arendt can be seen in McCarthy's use of the term "common sense." "Common sense…requires individuals to engage with others in the act of perception, sharing the world in a way that corrects and amends subjective insight."[iii] In The Company She Keeps, Meg Sargent is an individual who embraces common sense. Sargent is highly critical of others and often very brash, however she is vulnerable. Her intellect allows her to judge others, but her vulnerability allows for a continual process of self-criticism and self-alteration. Terry A. Cooney expands upon Nelson's point by commenting that McCarthy anchored her novels in reality. "Common sense anchored intelligence to human experience…"[iv] The Company She Keeps can be viewed as a novel in pursuit of factuality. In each episode Sargent engages with others and exposes herself to their reality. She strengthens her insight, which she ultimately refuses to give it up in the end.
A clear intersection can be found between McCarthy's fascination with pain and her aesthetic of fact. Real facts resist the delusions of society and cannot be manipulated. Facts of experience are often painful, and therefore people do not want to recognize them. McCarthy recognized this as self-delusion. One must confront reality, and in doing so face the "pain of self-alteration…the discomfort of uncertainty…and the anxiety of unpredictability."[v]
The Company She Keeps opens with the story, "Cruel and Barbarous Treatment." The reader encounters an unidentified narrator in the midst of an affair with a younger man. She decides she must reveal the affair to her husband because it had, "finally reached the point where it needed the glare of publicity…"[vi] She measures her relationships through the social commentary they invite. Through confession to her husband she saw her self as, "…both doer and sufferer: she inflicted pain and participated in it."[vii] This provides a glimpse into McCarthy's developing interest in suffering. The woman chooses to partake in an affair knowing the pain it will cause her husband, and then decides to submit to a full confession. She exposes her infidelity and accepts the pain that accompanies it. The narrator's tone remains uncertain, and the reader is left wondering whether she has done the right thing. Her husband's reaction is unexpected and mature, and the "public" begins to take his side. Her relationship with the Young Man becomes equally monotonous, "They were…merely another young couple with an evening to pass, another young couple looking desperately for entertainment."[viii] McCarthy addresses all the facts that accompany an affair—the pain inflicted, the social response, and the reality that the narrator is uneasy in her decision. The story closes with the narrator arriving late to board a train due to the Young Man's tardiness. She admits that she has become disenchanted with him. She finds him repulsive, yet recognizing the weakness of his character, produces an unwilling gesture of affection by blowing him a kiss. As the train departs she cuts all ties with the Young Man, and travels into, "an insubstantial future with no signpost to guide her."[ix] The story closes with the narrator assuming her first identity, "Young Divorcee." She rejects the security of bourgeois marriage, and envisions herself as a femme fatale, a glamorous traveler.
This story establishes the female protagonist who we will follow throughout the novel. The "Young Divorcee" is highly aware of taste and social commentary. She appears self-conscious of her social position, andjudges her husband, the Young Man, and her affair all through the public reaction they receive. She contemplates her new reality as a divorcee through the social engagements she will have. The reader views her as cold, abandoning both lover and husband with very little regard to their feelings. She embodies what Nelson describes as McCarthy's "toughness." It seems that the protagonist is interested in suffering, as she admits to administering pain but also receiving it. "Cruel and Barbarous Treatment" illuminates the aesthetic that will guide the following stories.
In "The Man in the Brooks Brothers Shirt," Meg Sargent meets a successful, middle-aged businessman on the train. Initially perturbed by him, she engages with him in conversation, giving her an opportunity to brandish her intellectual superiority. Ultimately she agrees to dine with him in his compartment. The encounter that follows is one that embodies the factuality McCarthy valued. She remains in his compartment for dinner, which then turns into drinks. She shares her favorite quotation with the man, identified as Mr. Breen, "I am myn owene woman, wel at ese."[x] Sargent believes she has established her ascendancy over Mr. Breen, who responds to her quote with the foolish exclamation: "Golly…you are, at that!"[xi] Carol Brightman believes the quote provides an "ironic transition" between Sargent's momentary relief at believing she had escaped Breen, to realizing the next morning that she has woken up in his bed. "For that moment, she had become, in effect, the man's woman, and she was not at ease."[xii] Conversely, William Barrett believes this quote to be the motto of The Company She Keeps. "Carrying this Chaucerian blazon…she has entered a man's world and, faithful to her motto, she intends to hold her own with men—both intellectually and sexually."[xiii] It seems that Brightman has illuminated the circumstances more accurately than Barrett. Sargent succumbs to the physical advances of Breen and wakes up mortified. While she holds her own intellectually, the embarrassment and shame she feels the next morning reveal that she does not hold her own sexually with men.
Nelson writes that McCarthy believed, "…reality had to be faced in a condition of exposure.."[xiv] This theory truly takes shape in the form of Sargent's inebriated, sexual transgression. Sargent wakes up physically exposed in bed with Mr. Breen. The experience can only be described as truly painful. Upon waking Breen declares his love for her. "…[Her] own squeamishness and sick distaste, which a moment before had seemed virtuous in her, now appeared heartless, even frivolous, in the face of his emotion."[xv] Her pity towards Mr. Breen recalls the pity she felt for the Young Man when she sneered at him on the train platform. The exchange between Mr. Breen and Sargent exemplifies the "toughness" often attributed to McCarthy. Sargent is entirely honest in describing the exchange. When Breen leans in to kiss her Sargent replies that she is going to throw up. Her violent physical response is not only due to a hangover, but a reaction to Breen's gesture of intimacy. Mary Ann Caws writes of McCarthy that, "…she was fearless about discomfort, hers and the reader's too."[xvi] It is through this discomfort that McCarthy is able to ground the novel in reality.
After getting sick, Mr. Breen offers Sargent whisky to cure her hangover. "The vulgarity was more comforting to her than any assurances of love."[xvii] Sargent resists intimacy with Breen and instead takes comfort in the sheer vulgarity of the situation. She labels her decision to sleep with him a second time as an act of charity and considers it "self-sacrifice." She remains detached from the situation. After being forced to bathe by Mr. Breen, she reflects on the luxury of Brooks Brothers and Bergdorf Goodman and feels repulsed, her sentiment having greatly changed from the previous day when she enjoyed the luxurious dining experience afforded to the "Best People." There is evidence of a process of self-alteration. Having faced the sheer embarrassment of her sexual transgression, Sargent is able to remain dignified. He declares his love for her, while she remains aloof. "A proud, bitter smile formed on her lips, as she saw herself as a citadel of socialist virginity, that could be taken and taken again, but never truly subdued."[xviii] The experience fills her with a passionate revulsion for opulence and wealth. While previously she had felt embarrassed by the safety pin used to hold together her underwear, she now views it as a metaphor for her morality.
Morris Dickstein writes of Mr. Breen that he turns out to be the most satisfactory of all the men Sargent pursues relationships with. He is distinguished by the fact that he is not an intellectual. In, "Fact and Fiction," McCarthy emphasizes the need for social range within a novel. Through setting the encounter between Breen and Sargent on a train, McCarthy creates a world in which they have something in common. Her interaction with Breen is significant because it enhances Sargent's perception.
In explaining McCarthy's aesthetic of the fact, Nelson posits that McCarthy valued the aesthetics of reality ("corporeal, material, natural."[xix]) Perhaps Sargent gains cognition of reality through her sexual experiences. She often reflects upon her relationships with regret, embarrassment and sometimes revulsion—all a source of pain. Sabrina Abrams provides a different interpretation, noting that the intellectual woman's separation of the physical from the mental prevents her from enjoying sexual acts.[xx] This is an example of Sargent's disunity between mind and body that she desperately wants to hold on to.
Edith H. Walton reviewed The Company She Keeps in 1942 for the New York Times. In her article she condemns Sargent's sexual discovery, criticizing it as narcissistic:
As assistant literary editor on a famous liberal weekly, one sees her adopting Trotskyism as a kind of brash, romantic pose and as a means—half unconscious—of attracting the attention which she craves. One sees how she uses it to inflame various lovers, and how she prostitutes a very real intelligence to serve a wanton's goal."[xxi]
Walton is referring to Sargent's defense of Trotsky on her first day of work in the fourth story of The Company She Keeps, entitled "Portrait of the Intellectual as a Yale Man." Meg Sargent has returned to New York to write for the Liberal, a weekly not dissimilar to The Nation or the New Republic where McCarthy had worked. Walton's criticism of Sargent seems unjustified, as she overlooks McCarthy's aesthetic of fact. McCarthy believed that American journalism was plagued with conformity of opinion. There lacked any truly subversive opinions because, "writers were more interested in displaying their cleverness than contending with facts."[xxii] The Liberal is a reflection of magazines such as the Nation and the New Republic, who were so absorbed in the struggle to defend their ideas that they feared showing any recognition of conflicting opinion. Sargent enters into The Liberal and decides to defend the unpopular opinion. She sarcastically comments that they would have loved to run an article written by Trotsky, to which the managing editor responds, "Well, no, we wouldn't. . . . Solidarity on the left is so important at this moment. We can't afford self-criticism now."[xxiii] Jim Barnett (the "Yale man") comments that Trotsky made a mistake in publishing his article in Liberty, and might as well have published it in Hearst. Sargent retorts with a compelling defense of Trotsky's decision, "Liberty is read by the masses, and the Liberal is read by a lot of self-appointed delegates for the masses whose principal contact with the working class is a colored maid."[xxiv] Not only does she rip apart Barnett's comment, but criticize the publication she has just been employed by. Yet in doing so she has confronted them with fact. "And facts, rather than writers, are socially offensive."[xxv] Nelson illuminates McCarthy's serious emphasis on courage. Sargent was courageous to challenge her colleagues and reveal a disloyalty to their publication.
However, Doris Grumbach takes a position dissimilar to Nelson. She relates Meg Sargent's attraction to "unpopular causes" as a reflection of McCarthy's own temperament and romanticism. McCarthy herself stated that she only involved herself in politics because the men who surrounded her were involved in politics, while she had little personal interest.[xxvi] This view speaks more to McCarthy/Sargents search for self-identity in the novel. Sargent can be seen as adopting the unpopular opinion in order to distinguish herself from others.
In the aftermath of her defense of Trotsky, Sargent experiences the pain of acknowledging fact. She sits in complete discomfort; calmly drinking her tea that everyone knows must be cold. Her audience stares at her, unsure of how to respond. Contrary to Walton's interpretation that Sargent is attracting the attention "that she craves," Sargent instead has courageously defended the unpopular opinion and in doing so is exposed to her peers. Barnett recognizes the fear Sargent felt in defending Trotsky, and applauds her courage, "'The coward dies a thousand deaths," he murmured. "The brave but one."[xxvii] Sargent effectively triggers a process of self-alteration in Barnett, in which he seriously contemplates her actions and comes to understand them. There is in fact nothing wrong with her (as he previously had thought), and from this point he begins to question his own ideals.
Barnett becomes fascinated with McCarthy, and pursues an affair with her. He believes himself to be in love with her, and she allows him to feel that way. Sabrina Abrams posits that McCarthy often conflates personal relationships with politics. This tension is felt in "Portrait of the Intellectual as a Yale Man", in which the relationship that develops between Sargent and Barnett is equal part political and sexual. "Jim may conquer Margaret's body; however, she persecutes his conscience. She represented a certain intellectual integrity that he lacks . . . ."[xxviii] Similar to her relationship with Mr. Breen, Barnett may possess Sargent physically, but her intellect is out of reach. There remains a disparity, in which Sargent is superior in mind but seems to be used physically by Barnett. Yet she is still able to affect change in him. "He had never been free, but until he had tried to love the girl, he had not known he was bound. It was self-knowledge she had taught him; she had showed him the cage of his own nature."[xxix] Self-knowledge harms Barnett, as it illuminates the limitations of his existence.
Sargent therefore is both fearful and courageous, exhibiting the contradictions inherent to the novel. Carol Brightman seems to disagree with Nelson's perspective on McCarthy's "toughness." Brightman writes of the original publication of the "The Man in the Brooks Brothers Shirt," "the story broke like a comet over the heads of McCarthy's literary generation; and it established her reputation as a writer, a rough writer, and as a woman, a tough woman—neither of which she was at all."[xxx] It is unclear why Brightman denies that McCarthy was a tough woman. In The Company She Keeps Sargent never shies away from revealing exact truths, and in doing so must face painful situations. Her powerful skills of observation allow her to be highly critical, not only of others but of herself. Here the line between McCarthy and Sargent becomes blurred. It is clear that The Company She Keeps can be treated as a compilation of autobiographical stories (asides from the Yale Man[xxxi]) in which case the toughness displayed by Sargent is a reflection of McCarthy's aesthetic.
In the final story of The Company She Keeps, "Ghostly Father, I Confess," the reader finds Meg Sargent sprawled across a therapist couch. She has been advised by her second husband (Frederick) to seek professional help for her "hysteria." He criticizes her neurosis and makes judgments on her sanity. Frances Kiernan writes of the episode, "Pinned like some poor broken butterfly to Dr. James's couch, Meg Sargent views her predicament with an amusement so sardonic as to be almost savage."[xxxii] She delivers a "malicious portrait" of Dr. James, painting him as a predictable and bland character. However, her confidence falters—what if she was wrong in her analysis? Sargent typically delivers her sharp observations with an assured belief in her superior intellect. Yet in this instance she reveals her vulnerability. Mary McCarthy's fascination with pain and fact are most evident in the final story. Nelson writes of McCarthy (and Arendt's) concept of reality:
They sought not relief from pain but heightened sensitivity to what they called reality. Perversely or not, they imagined the consolations for pain in intimacy, empathy, and solidarity as anesthetic. Their toleration of pain—indeed, their insistence on its ordinariness—is a part of their eccentricity. (88)
Nelson's analysis of McCarthy's approach to healing reflects Sargent's own analysis of therapy:
First comes the anesthetic, the sweet optimistic laughing-gas of science. After consciousness has been put to sleep…it is a very easy matter to cut out the festering conscience, which was of no use to you at all, and was only making you suffer. Then the patient takes a short rest and emerges as a cured neurotic; the personality has vanished, but otherwise he is perfectly normal (276).
McCarthy confirms Nelson's idea of the "anesthetic" effect of healing in Sargent's description of therapy. Sargent dissects the process of therapeutic healing, reducing it to an extraction of personality and consciousness. Sargent views therapy as a weakening force. The sympathy and solidarity provided by Dr. James makes Sargent fear that she will lose her agency. If Sargent's personality and opinions are suppressed, she can no longer communicate the truth. "…[U]nder the pressure of this, her own sense of truth was weakening. This and her wonderful scruples were all she had in the world…"[xxxiii] Therefore she chooses to reject healing, and embrace the pain caused by her neuroses and troubled past.
In reflecting upon her childhood, Sargent realizes that as she grew into an adult, she went through a process of self-alteration in which she abandoned the religion, the temperament and the culture of her upbringing. However, after her first marriage she began to resume her old ways. She attempts to restore herself: "[s]he knew that she did not cry or make disgusting scenes or have cheap tastes or commit adultery…"[xxxiv] yet these elements of her personality continue to reappear. In rejecting her past, Sargent appropriated an identity that was not authentic. She viewed her previous self as an alien personality, until "she came at last to the place where she wondered whether the false self was not the true one?"[xxxv] Not only is Sargent grappling with her self-identity, but she is coming to terms with her own self-delusion
The reader is led to believe that Sargent succumbs to Dr. James analysis, after he wins her affection by complimenting her beauty and her intellect. However, she recalls his words, "I think you can," and realizes that the intimacy and solidarity she felt with him had been a therapeutic lie[xxxvi] Here McCarthy asserts her rejection of healing. To succumb to psychoanalysis would be a continuation of self-delusion. She recalls a dream in which she kisses a man with a "Byronic air" only to discover he is a Nazi. In recognizing the extremity of her dream she realizes that she is still capable of distinguishing a Nazi from an English nobleman—she could still, "detect her own frauds."[xxxvii] She realizes that to maintain her self-knowledge she must resist the numbing effects of psychoanalysis.
Nelson posits that McCarthy was deeply interested in the human capacity to change. "This continual self-alteration by contact with the world could be secured and enhanced by the cultivation of the organs of perception, that is, in the realm of the aesthetic."[xxxviii] By cultivating perception one is always aware. A heightened awareness of reality forces self-reflection and thereby self-alteration. Sargent struggles to define her self-identity through her encounters with others without succumbing to group identification. She is open to reality and resists the temptation of self-delusion. Yet the sharp and scathing observation delivered by Sargent was subject to extreme criticism. It must be noted that it is hard to find analysis of McCarthy's work that does not comment on the severity and cruelty of her heroine. Beverly Gross explores the "bitch" identity imposed upon McCarthy. She accurately notes that, "Her six novels seem less acts of imagination than of social and intellectual criticism, scoring the pretentious vulgarity of American life and the treachery of doctrinal thinking."[xxxix] Gross attempts to find a positive element in the essentially misogynistic label so often attributed to McCarthy. The term "bitch" acknowledges McCarthy's, "singular authority, courage, and self-possession."[xl] Critics are quick to label McCarthy as a cold bitch because she rejects the identity of warmth, empathy and intimacy that is attributed to women.[xli]
The bold sexuality of Sargent combined with her neurosis and self-doubt make her an unusual and conflicted heroine. Sargent's final plea for disunity provides a startling conclusion: a flawed heroine who does not wish to become complacent. McCarthy rejects the discourse of healing that flourished in postwar America, instead she chooses to explore pain and suffering. "Her heroines are both intellectually superior and self-sacrificing, both independent thinking and self-doubting, and, as such, they are a realistic representation of the ambivalent position of the woman intellectual in postwar America."[xlii] Abrams illuminates the contradictions inherent to the novel, yet also hints at the greater aesthetic that guides the narrative. Sargent is a complex and contradicting character because she is undergoing a continual process of self-alteration.
Finally, a parallel can be drawn between Nelson's position on McCarthy's politics and Meg Sargent's search for identity in The Company She Keeps. Nelson posits that McCarthy remained detached from, "[t]he progressive social movements that emerged in the Cold War era, all of which advocated bonds of intimacy and group identification."[xliii][xliv] McCarthy preferred solitude, and remained uncommitted to any political ideology. This sentiment can also be seen in The Company She Keeps. Katharine Whitehorn interprets the title of the novel as revealing of, "the difficulty a woman on her own has in having any identity that is not just a reflection of each person she meets in turn."[xlv] The novel opens with Sargent closing one chapter of her life and attempting to start anew. In her relationship with Mr. Breen we see Sargent giving in to a man completely ill-suited for her. He desperately tries to win her affections, and upon succeeding begins to lose interest in her. He visits her in New York, but with each trip his affection wanes. She attempts to please him however, "[a]ll her gestures grew over-feminine and demonstrative; the lift of her eyebrows was a shade too arch: like a passée belle, she was overplaying herself."[xlvi] Sargent realizes that her actions are inauthentic, and gives up trying to win him over. Instead of conforming to the girl he wants to see in her, she accepts that his understanding of her is deluded. Her search for self-knowledge culminates in a dissection of her past. She reflects upon her misguided relationships, her sexual transgressions, and her dysfunctional childhood. However she resists becoming the "creature that Dr. James and Frederick want her to be"[xlvii] Instead of submitting to healing she chooses to embrace her "disunity."
The Company She Keeps was McCarthy's first novel, therefore perhaps Nelson's hypothesis of McCarthy's aesthetic is not fully realized in novel. Instead The Company She Keeps reveals the roots of McCarthy's aesthetic, which she will continue to define throughout her career.

Stuhleck est une station de ski de taille moyenne, située à proximité du col de Semmering et de Spital am Semmering, dans le nord-est du Land de Styrie en Autriche.

Le domaine skiable de Stuhleck est le plus vaste ainsi que le plus fréquenté à l'est des Alpes. Sa situation en bord d'autoroute - la capitale Vienne n'est qu'à environ une heure de route - en fait la station préférée des Viennois. Les week-ends, le domaine est de fait souvent proche de la saturation.

Doté notamment de quatre télésièges débrayables, le domaine est desservi par des remontées mécaniques modernes assurant un fort débit. En plus de pistes relativement larges et majoritairement accessibles aux débutants, la station offre une piste de luge de cinq kilomètres. Si le manteau neigeux naturel le permet, il existe quelques possibilités de ski hors-pistes en forêt.

La première remontée mécanique fut inaugurée le .

Stuhleck est membre des regroupements de stations de ski Skiregion Ostalpen et Steiermark Joker.

Democrat Greg Stanton has defeated Republican Steve Ferrara in the battle for Arizona's 9th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.
With over 72,000 votes counted, Stanton had 59.6 percent of the vote; Ferrara had 40.4 percent.
Stanton, the former mayor of Phoenix, won the seat held by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, who gave up the seat in order to run for the U.S. Senate.
The 48-year-old Stanton served as mayor of Phoenix from 2012 until May of this year, when he resigned in order to run for Sinema's seat.
Ferrara served in the U.S. Navy for 25 years. He has worked as a physician and a clinical professor of radiology.
The win is a hold for Democrats, who are looking to claim a majority in the House of Representatives for the first time since 2010.

Kardajala Kirridarra melt traditional with contemporary in new track 'Ngabaju'
If you consider this land's very long and very rich history, it can be surprising to think that we only really hear such a small, select type of music. Well, KARDAJALA KIRRIDARRA, which translates to "Sandhill Women", have arrived and they plan to change all that. With their self-titled debut album slated for a July 7th release, as well as having the prestigious NT Song of the Year award under their belt, Kardajala Kirridarra are setting themselves up for an amazing year with the drop of ethereal new song 'Ngabaju (Grandmother's Song)'.
A quick history lesson: the members of Kardajala Kirridarra were brought together by the Barkly Regional Council's 'Barkly Desert Cultures' multimedia program, which was aimed at using art, like music, to express the social issues of young people growing up in the Barkly region of Northern Territory. Vocalist Eleanor Dixon met producer Beatrice Lewis and thus Kardajala Kirridarra was born. Add in Eleanor's aunty Janey Dixon as well as MC Kayla Jackson, and you have the completed and current lineup of this gorgeous and important group.
'Ngabaji (Grandmother's Song)' is very much the band's raison d'être. Since the band's inception, they have set out to empower women across all aspects and across all stages of life. The song is an understated, and at times haunting, electronic journey that never beams too loud but nevertheless it shines so very brightly. Sung in the seldom-heard language of Mudburra, as well as Jackson rapping in English, the song is an entrancing dream taking us through history while keeping us firmly planted in the present. "Now that I'm older I see what you mean to me/I see the kind of woman I'm meant to be/I want you to know that I gave my daughter your name/Didn't know it was possible to feel this much pain," Jackson spits over a traditional clap-stick helmed beat, whose melancholy and hurt that she has drenched her verse in is almost tangible.
Kardajala Kirridarra are very truly artists of Australia, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to hear what they have to say.

Odell Beckham Jr."The Catch" Spotlight Photograph (SG Signature Series)
-- Please Select --Black (As Shown)
-- Please Select --Blue (As Shown) Black White
***GET A FREE ELI MANNING "CELEBRATION" SB XLVI 11x14 PHOTOGRAPH w/ PURCHASE! (SEE IMAGE ABOVE) *** New York Giants WR Sensation, Odell Beckham Jr. attended Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he was a letterman in football, basketball and track. In football, he played wide receiver, quarterback, running back, and cornerback…but today we know him as an amazing receiver. In his role as a wide receiver and return specialist at LSU, Beckham was named the winner of the 2013 Paul Hornung Award, presented annually to the most versatile player in major college football. Drafted in the 1st Round of the 2014 Draft by the Giants, Odell made his debut on October 5, 2014, recording four receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown. In his first Monday Night Football game, Beckham caught 8 passes for 156 yards. Against the tough Seahawks Defense in Week 8, he caught 7 passes for 108 yards. And two weeks later on Sunday Night Football, Beckham rocked the Football World with 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns, including a one-handed TD reception hailed as the "The Catch". While being held by Dallas cornerback Brandon Carr, Beckham somehow caught a 43-yard TD using just three fingers on his right hand. The catch was soooooo good that even Megatron, WR Calvin Johnson, conceded it was the best he's ever seen. "Everybody knows that catch he made a couple weeks ago was the craziest I've seen in a long — forever probably," said Johnson. Part of our unsigned SG Signature Series, this amazing Spotlight (color on B&W background) photograph of "The Catch" includes Sports Gallery Exclusive inset plate with laser-engraved facsimile Odell Beckham Jr. signature along with "The Catch." Sports Gallery Quality Framed, this is a great piece of Sports Art celebrating a player...and moment...that was the talk of the NFL.

"We all live in London and travel through it every day and can't help but notice the homelessness situation getting worse so wanted to support charities such as the Big Issue Foundation".
We invited Patrick Hannan to talk to us about what makes Work for Good the perfect charity-giving partner for his business, Oak Fine Art Services.
Oak Fine Art Services is a small independent art transport and installation company started by two friends in 2012 and now we have several staff, vans and our own storage premises.
We work for collectors, galleries and dealers handling amazing artwork every day and helping art lovers care for and display their beloved pieces.
What inspired you to join Work for Good?
We all live in London and travel through it every day and can't help but notice the homelessness situation getting worse so wanted to support charities such as the Big Issue Foundation.
We didn't have time for fun runs or sponsored events and wanted to make giving a more regular part of our business.
We also wanted to highlight to our clients that as part of their fee was being donated by us to charity maybe they could do a bit extra themselves thereby hopefully helping twice.
How does Oak Fine Art Services give through Work for Good?
We give a percentage of some of our invoices to any charity our client chooses otherwise the big issue by default.
What impact have you seen on your business since joining Work for Good?
We get a lot of repeat business and the clients all mention what a good idea it is so it's building a general goodwill for us.
How will you build giving into your business model for 2019?
We will have different weeks throughout the year where we will pledge 10% of the net of all invoices that week to certain charities and make sure the clients know this beforehand and how their money will help each charity.
We loved talking to Patrick! If you'd like to find out more about Work for Good please do get in touch.

Public Assured Upcoming Reclamation Will Not Affect Ruins
Ministry of Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration
Culture, Historical Sites and Monuments
Friday, 8 January 2021 - 3:15pm
Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Honourable Vincent Wheatley has said that the upcoming reclamation works in the Pockwood Pond area will not affect the Dungeon historical ruins site.
Honourable Wheatley said the scope of the project has been inspected and approved by the ministry as with any other dredging works to ensure that the surrounding areas are not adversely affected.
He said, "I want to clarify this matter before the rumors and misleading headlines start, that when the approved dredging project takes place in Pockwood Pond, it will not affect the current condition of the Dungeon ruins site. The project will occur adjacent to the site on the seaward side. My ministry has inspected and approved the project and can verify that the ruins site will not be adversely affected."
The Minister said the ministry recognises the historical and cultural value the ruins has and the works envisaged will not affect the site negatively, as they are not in close proximity.
The Ministry of Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration continues to effectively manage and administer the natural resources of the Territory in a manner that ensures long term sustainability.

1: So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
2: And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3: And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
6: Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7: Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8: Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9: Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10: Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11: Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
13: O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14: He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
19: When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
22: Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
23: Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
24: Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations.
25: For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
26: For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
27: Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
28: Give unto the LORD, ye kindred of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
29: Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
30: Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31: Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
32: Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33: Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
34: O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
35: And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
36: Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
42: And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
43: And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
1: Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
2: Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
5: For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6: Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
8: And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10: And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
11: And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12: He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
14: But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
15: According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
16: And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17: And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
18: What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19: O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20: O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21: And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22: For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
23: Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24: Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
25: For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
27: Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
1: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
1: Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2: Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
3: For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4: Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5: He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
6: I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
7: For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
1: Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Wanted to show a WIP and get some feed back.
Story is not fully done but has to use very few and simple models. Probably with a white scene a la Magic round about and Pocoyo.
I want to use 3d rotoscope of my daughter playing at a simple playground or around the house.
Any ideas would be a big help.
One idea, would be to use instead of trying to model your daughter, perhaps, your daughters favorite _doll_ and animate that on top of the rotoscope.
That way you won't get stuck with the realism balance with the model or animation. But again, perhaps you are looking for this type of challenge. Good luck!
I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I hope to film my daughter tonight and use a stand in model and hopefully replace it later with something else.
I agree that I probably need to rethink the level of detail concerning the look of the model since this will dictate what the viewer is expecting to see.
Here's Ainsley re-modelled as a cartoon.
I have shot some video of her playing on a slide and I hope to use this for posing.
