Inquisitr previously reported that a vaccine developed in Canada had already begun human trials.
Kirsten Lyke, an associate professor at the university in Baltimore where the human vaccine trial is beginning, said that the response to the request was overwhelming. Next month, if all goes according to plan, the volunteers, who have been promised monetary compensation for their participation, will begin building immunities to fight against the Ebola virus.
The vaccine was developed at the National Institute of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. According to the Baltimore Sun, it does not actually use the Ebola virus, but a genetically altered cold virus found in chimpanzees. The researchers say that the chimpanzee virus that is used in the vaccine has been genetically engineered so that it can not reproduce.
The human immune system is expected to produce antibodies to fight the non-replicating virus in the vaccine due to its similarity to the strain of Ebola responsible for the current outbreak. The same experimental vaccine was already administered to some healthcare workers in Mali.
"Chimpanzee adenoviruses have been considered ideal carriers for the development of vaccines against a broad range of pathogens because their neutralizing antibodies are rare in humans, and this low antibody prevalence would circumvent the negative effects of pre-existing immunity to common human serotypes of adenovirus," according to Nature.
Each participant must be screened to find out if their kidney and liver functions are working properly, and that they have a healthy immune system. Those same functions will then be monitored, and antibody levels will be measured. The researchers do not have enough time to test for long term safety and efficacy of the vaccine, because Ebola is already on American soil. The participants will also not be exposed to the Ebola virus after the vaccine is given, because that would be unethical.
"To some degree, we're going to have to do some guessing," Lyke explained as far as determining the likelihood that the new vaccine will be effective.
Researchers say that within the first weeks of the Ebola vaccine trial, they will be able to determine if the vaccine is safe enough to be distributed to the public.

NRA spokeswoman claims shooting survivors wanted to 'burn her'
NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch claimed on Thursday that the crowd of shooting survivors in attendance at CNN's gun control town hall on Wednesday night had threatened to hurt her, forcing her to flee the event with her husband to avoid any danger.
"I had to have a security detail to get out," Loesch said, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. "I wouldn't have been able to exit if I didn't have a private security detail. There were people rushing the stage and screaming 'burn her.' And I came there to talk solutions, and I still am going to continue that conversation on solutions, as the NRA has been doing since before I was alive."
Incredible speech by @DLoesch at #CPAC2018.
God Bless this woman and everything she does to help defend our 2A!
Full Speech: https://t.co/O0byOItzOz
— The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) February 22, 2018
Loesch had been invited to the CNN town hall to address questions from survivors of a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida last week that left 17 people dead. The majority of the exchanges were heated, but most remained civil, with the occasional booing from the crowd.
Video taken by Twitter user "Michelle" (@hope4tigers) on Wednesday night does appear to show Loesch being escorted from the BB&T Center stage by security detail, however the footage does not show any town hall attendees "rushing" the stage, as Loesch claimed, and audience members can be heard chanting "shame on you," not "burn her."
Still, it's not clear what may have happened after the video ended or if any attendees "rushed" or threatened Loesch at that point.

Loesch's claims were echoed earlier in the morning by her husband, Chris, who said during his own CPAC panel on "fake news" that the couple had been forced to flee the town hall event to avoid danger.
Loesch has previously been criticized for her participation in a number of NRA ads which some have deemed threatening. In a video last spring, Loesch claimed that progressives and the media were a danger to American society, stopping just short of calling for violence against them.
NRA recruiting video stops just short of calling for violence against anti-Trump progressives
"The only way we save our country and our freedom is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth."
"They use their media to assassinate real news. They use their schools to teach children that their president is another Hitler. … And then they use their ex-president to endorse the resistance. All to make them march, make them protest, make them scream racism and sexism and xenophobia and homophobia and smash windows, burn cars, shut down interstates and airports, bully and terrorize the law abiding — until the only option left is for police to do their jobs and stop the madness," she said. "And when that happens, they'll use it as an excuse for their outrage. The only way we stop this, the only way we save our country and our freedom is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth."
Loesch later claimed that liberals and the press had overreacted to the ad, saying in a Periscope video, "The language of the left is violence and it has been because they think it's an acceptable form of protest."

IMMIGRATION & CRIMINAL LAW COUNSEL
Eugene Stilianopoulos was born in Cali, Colombia while his mother was visiting relatives there. Soon after his birth, his mother and he returned to New York where his parents resided. As a young man growing up in New York, he recalls that one of his more memorable events occurred over the July 4th weekend of 1986 at Governor's Island in the New York harbor. The celebration lasted 4 days and included a speech from President Ronald Reagan, and festivities attended by many Hollywood acting and music celebrities. The four day celebration was called Liberty Weekend.
Eugene's father an immigrant from Greece and his mother an immigrant from Colombia both became United States citizens and are now retired. Unlike Eugene, neither his parents nor any of his four brothers and sisters earned any professional degrees. Encouraged mostly by his father, a career union worker for American Airlines, Eugene became the first in his family to acquire professional degrees in history, political science, business and law.
Because his father received traveling benefits as an airline employee, Eugene traveled a lot growing up which he believes added to his diversity and interest in attaining a good education. He was able to visit his father's homeland, Greece, and many other locations like Spain, Brazil, Germany and Switzerland, just to name a few.
Growing up, Eugene says that he liked sports. After his family moved to Orlando, he attended Dr. Phillips high school where participated in soccer and football and subsequently graduated. Also at the age of 15 he competed as an amateur boxer. Although sports were good disciplines, after winning a few trophies he discontinued down the road of sports activities and focused all of his interest on academics. Also, during his high school years, he worked at Publix as a bag boy and stock clerk. Eugene says he realized as early as high school he aspired to achieve higher education wanting to complete college and join the military or become a lawyer.
Following high school, Eugene attended the University of Central Florida (UCF) where he focused his studies on history and political science and graduated with honors. Following UCF he attended St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami, Florida. While attending law school he enrolled in the Immigration Clinic which is focused on actual representation of immigrants seeking to improve their status in the United States. Additionally he has obtained a masters degree in business from Florida International University.
After graduation Eugene returned to Orlando to practice immigration, criminal and personal injury law. He fluently speaks three languages - English, Spanish and Portuguese.
He remains interested in athletics and aspires to enjoy life to its fullest.

Daimler Trucks at the IAA 2016 : networked, efficiency.
HANNOVER - At this year's IAA International Commercial Vehicle Show, (22 to 29 September 2016) the focus is on the megatrends of the future: digitalisation and e-mobility. The key to the sustainable and efficient logistics of the future is called connectivity. Logistics rely on a network of players, including trucks, manufacturers, customers, hauliers, infrastructure, other vehicles, workshops, bodybuilders and many more. Connectivity and the intelligent networking of trucks are now raising the haulage sector to a whole new level.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is raising the bar even further when it comes to connectivity. While the breakdown-free truck might have seemed a long way off at the beginning of the year, Mercedes-Benz Trucks are taking great strides towards this vision with the revolutionary Uptime service product.
The new FleetBoard store for apps, which will make its debut at the IAA, provides useful apps made by, and for, the transport sector. FleetBoard will also offer all Mercedes-Benz Trucks customers a simple, fast and free route to connectivity. This is made possible by the new FleetBoard Manager app.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is linking the two megatrends OF digitalisation and e-mobility in the Urban eTruck. The vehicle is a spectacular vision of the networked and all-electric distribution truck of tomorrow. Fuso's eCanter is the third generation of the world's first fully electric-powered light commercial vehicle and is the first small-scale production run of electric Fuso trucks.
The latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz OM 470 engine offers improved performance and greater efficiency. Mercedes-Benz Trucks has approved the use of alternative fuels in the latest OM 470 and OM 471 engines, which are designed to use such fuels as standard.
This year, Mercedes-Benz is also getting closer to the goal of accident-free driving. Active Brake Assist 4 is the first system of its type in the world to warn the driver of imminent collisions with moving pedestrians and simultaneously automatically initiate partial braking. Sideguard Assist with pedestrian detection will also be launched to market as the first assistance system that protects pedestrians and cyclists when trucks are turning. In short: Daimler Trucks is extending its lead as a pioneer in safety, economy and truck connectivity.

U.S. House: Redistricting, midterm malaise tighten congressional races in Arizona
authentically local news for the Borderlands
Posted Nov 9, 2022, 7:12 am
Ryan Knappenberger & Jennifer Sawhney
Mary Grace Grabill/Cronkite NewsRuben Gallego during the watch party for Arizona Democrats at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel on Nov. 8, 2022.
Unofficial early returns Tuesday night showed leads for Democrats Ruben Gallego, Greg Stanton and Raúl Grijalva of the 3rd, 4th and 7th Congressional Districts, respectively, in bids to hold their party's seat majority in the House of Representatives.
Two races were uncontested, with Republicans holding both seats. Of Arizona's nine seats in Congress, eight are held by incumbents.
Stanton on Tuesday night declared victory over Republican Kelly Cooper at the Social Hall in Tempe.
"We need more from our elected leaders than bickering on Twitter," Stanton said. "We have to do the work to build the infrastructure of tomorrow to make Arizona the semiconductor capital of the United States, to lift up our schools, to lift up our kids, to secure our water for future generations."
Arizona's Democrats faced the triple challenge of redistricting, a retiring member (Ann Kirkpatrick) and the usual midterm backlash against the party holding the White House. Democrats hold a slim majority in the House, with 220 seats.
Republicans hold 212 seats, with three vacancies, and they need to gain six seats nationwide to retake control of the House and block the Democratic agenda. The GOP aimed to capitalize on President Joe Biden's low approval ratings and the fact that the president's party lost seats in all but two midterm elections – 1998 and 2002 – since World War II.
The races for Arizona's newly redrawn 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th districts were considered key going into the election.
1st District
Multiterm incumbent Rep. David Schweikert, R-Fountain Hills, faced a stiff challenge from newcomer Jevin Hodge in the district, which includes Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Paradise Valley. If elected, Democrat Hodge would be the state's first Black congressman.
"Democracy is not a spectator sport. Democracy is a contact sport," Hodge said at the Democrats' watch party. "And we got to get people involved. We got to get people engaged. We got to get people excited. We got to get people motivated. We got to get people empowered."
Schweikert was the only Republican member of the delegation who was expected to face a challenge. He was also the only Trump-endorsed Republican who voted to accept the state's election results in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
The District 1 seat was on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue" list of targeted seats to flip, and Hodge raised $2.2 million in his bid to unseat Schweikert, who reported raising $1.7 million for his campaign. In August, a poll cited by FiveThirtyEight said the two candidates were even, while the Cook Political Report called the race a toss-up the day before the election.
The Hodge campaign had made an issue of Schweikert's ethics violations, with the incumbent being fined by both the Federal Election Commission and the House Ethics Committee for misuse of campaign and office funds. Despite redistricting, the 1st District had a clear GOP majority, with Republicans accounting for 37.9% of voters to Democrats' 28.4%.
2nd District
Redistricting could cost Democrats another seat, after Rep. Tom O'Halleran, D-Sedona, saw his northern and eastern Arizona district redrawn to pick up more Republican voters in Yavapai County. The three-term incumbent faced an aggressive challenge from Republican Eli Crane, a Trump-endorsed ex-Navy SEAL and first-time candidate. As of Tuesday night, the race was still tight.
The District 2 race drew national attention, with Crane named one of the "young guns" by the National Republican Congressional Committee, while O'Halleran made the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's list of "frontline" candidates. The 2nd District, which includes a large number of tribal lands, is now 37.2% GOP voters to 31.3% independents and 30.6% Democrats.
O'Halleran raised more than $4 million to Crane's $3.5 million, but the NRCC pumped in more than $1.7 million to oppose O'Halleran, while the DCCC spent just $580,394 in the Democratic incumbent's defense.
O'Halleran, a one-time Republican, former cop and former state lawmaker, survived long odds before, but Real Clear Politics rated the race as likely going to the Republican. Crane had a narrow 1 percentage point lead in an August poll, the most recent available.
4th District
Another frontline district for Democrats is District 4, held by Stanton, where Democrats' 31.5% of registered voters narrowly trails Republicans' 32.1%. Real Clear Politics called the race a toss-up, while the Cook Political Report said it is likely Democratic.
The two-term Stanton, a former Phoenix mayor, raised more than $4 million to Republican challenger Kelly Cooper's $2.2 million, according to the FEC, which said outside groups had spent more than $1.5 million to oppose Cooper. An August poll cited by FiveThirtyEight gave Stanton a 7 percentage point lead.
For the past four years, Democrats enjoyed a 5-4 advantage in the state's nine-member House delegation, after Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Tucson, took the seat vacated by Republican Martha McSally when she made an unsuccessful run for Senate in 2018.
But Kirkpatrick, former 2nd District representative, announced in early 2021 that she would not be seeking re-election, opening the door to a possible GOP takeover. In the southeastern Arizona district, now the 6th District, Republicans make up 35.7% of registered voters to 31.9% for Democrats and 31.7% for independents.
In the 6th District, Republican Juan Ciscomani, a former aide to Gov. Doug Ducey, faced off against environmental lawyer Kirsten Engel, a Democrat and one-term state senator who stepped down from the Legislature to run for Congress.
Ciscomani's campaign raised over $3 million, compared to $2.2 million for Engel, according to the most recent filings with the FEC. The FEC also reported an additional $1.8 million in outside funding in the campaign to either support Ciscomani or oppose Engel.
Uncontested seats
Rep. Debbie Lesko of Peoria for the 8th District and Paul Gosar of Prescott for the 9th District faced only write-in opposition and retained both seats. The remaining incumbents – Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert of the 5th District, and Reps. Gallego of Phoenix and Grijalva of Tucson – both held what were considered safe seats.

I have always told praise of HostUS even through their terrible time under DDoS attacks, but a few days ago the node being slow and unresponsive coupled with a slow ticket reply meant I had to move 6 of my servers. First and foremost, I still have one server with them on node LON01-VZ72. So if you're on that node, it's got good uptime. For me though, node LON01-VZ86 was a killer.
I had contacted them on a few occasions over the past few weeks regarding the IOWAIT being terribly high which causes the server to become unresponsive. They managed to fix it, offered me a few days refund for bringing it to their attention – it kept me happy. However, on the 14th January I opened a ticket at 13:15 telling them the same thing. Almost 5 hours later and no reply to my ticket I decided to jump ship.
First of all, their servers which host the VPS to me are very speedy, and I've provided the technical data below using FreeVPS's Benchmarking script. To be honest, I know of this tool but really don't know much of what I'm reading (certain bits I do, others it's just a numbers game). All I can vouch for here is a super fast WordPress installation. I've done many set-ups on the same VPS with installs getting millions of hits a month (with 10+ plugins), and the installation is still performing fast. Props to them, as Google now loves me.
I've dealt with HostUS support a few times. It's either me asking more pre-sales questions or I'm just too tired to use my brain, so I ask stupid ones. Anyway, all of which receive a reply within 5-10 minutes (except two tickets that took 1-2 hours), either way I think that's fantastic. I feel like I'm virtually chatting, rather than waiting on a reply.
I'm in the process of migrating everything to HostUS because they're reliable and their servers are fast, which is what Google wants these days. Oh, and of course because they're international. I suggest you do the same. As of writing this post I have been with them for 15 months, so come on – sign up!
Looking for a fast VPS provider that's reliable and international? Then you need to read my review of HostUS. My review uses VestaCP control panel.
This is a review of HostUS's (affiliate links within this post) unmanaged Virtual Private Servers (VPS) whereby I have installed the control panel VestaCP.I have a few VPS's with HostUS namely because they are international. This blog is hosted on a VPS they provide in England. I have been with them since February 2015. It's been over a year so I think I'm well informed to provide a review that is of my own opinion.
Hi Steven. I've landed at his blog post because of two reasons. I was looking for reviews of HostUs and I was going to use the VPS for installing VestaCP. Are you still happy with HostUs? And if you talk about a clean install, exactly what does a clean installation of VestaCP mean?
I have been with them since February 2015 – I'm very happy. Essentially a clean install means when you order your VPS with any default Operating System – that's a clean install.
Thanks Steve. Think I've almost got my VPS from HostUS. There was a tiny hickup with the PayPal system at HostUS but by tonight when I get home I think I'll be ready to start. OK got the clean install now. No default OS. Thanks for the tip.
Did you install WordPress manually i.e. by uploading all the files via FTP?
WordPress only wants FTP details when it cannot write to the directory or that the user/group of the files/directory are different than that of the user. Usually it happens if you've installed WP by SSH.
Again, HostUS speed is AWESOME! And VestaCP super light. They go beautiful together. Thanks for your help!

Bangkok (NNT/VNA) – Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating the repatriation of exchange students from Thailand currently in the United States, who are all expected to return this month.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Spokesman Cherdkiat Atthakor said on April 2 that the ministry is working with AFS International to repatriate Thai exchange students in the AFS programme who are currently in the United States, where the new coronavirus disease is now spreading fast.
He said some students who were in the US and other countries have already returned to Thailand by themselves prior to the surge of cases, however a big group of students still remains in the US, wanting to return home.
At present, there is no direct commercial flight operating from the US to Thailand, however some airlines are still operating connecting flights between the US and Thailand. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been looking after exchange students in the US through the Royal Thai Embassy, especially in regards to their medical insurance. The ministry expects all of these students will be able to return to Thailand in the course of this month.
Thai nationals abroad who wish to return to Thailand must provide a valid Fit-to-Fly medical certificate and a document from the Thai embassy in order to board a flight. They will be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in Thailand.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul, said on April 2 that children and youths returning from abroad will be well taken care of, adding that exchange students from the US will be treated as a group in the same manner as the student group that previously returned from Italy. They will be monitored even prior to their journey, during their travels, and upon arrival where they will be transferred to a quarantine facility at Sattahip Naval Base in Chonburi, or the Air Force's Flying Training School in Nakhon Pathom.
He said the repatriation must be well coordinated between the AFS and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs./.

Sailun Group to build €2bn ...
Sailun Group to build €2bn tire factory in China
Plant in Dongjiakou to produce 30m tires once fully operational
Shanghai, China – Chinese tire maker Sailun Group has announced plans to build a major tire manufacturing facility in Dongjiakou, some 40km south of Qingdao city.
In a filing with the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) 27 June, the tire maker said the Yuan15.1 billion (€2.1 billion) project will be constructed in five phases, each taking 12 months.
Once fully on-stream, the project aims to manufacture of 20 million sets of high-performance semi-steel radial tires, 10 million sets of high-performance all-steel radial tire and 150,000 tonnes of off-road tires (OTR).
With construction set for November this year, Sailun said the entire project is expected to be completed by late 2027.
The off-highway tire project will be based on what Sailun called the first industrial internet "Eco-rubber cloud".
The system, it said, will use a new intelligent production and testing equipment to manufacture high-performance green tire products to better meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
The investment still needs to go to the relevant government departments for project filing, environmental impact assessment approval, and construction planning approval, according to Sailun.
Furthermore, factors such as international political environment, raw material price fluctuations, domestic and foreign market demand and the economic situation may influence the final investment decision.

Cambodia denies China dam impact
on: November 18, 2010 In: Energy & Environment, Old ContentTags: No Comments
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has denied that the hydroelectric dam projects on the Mekong River in China had disrupted the river's flow. The premier said that in 1998 the Mekong hit a record low of 7.5 meters, but in 2000 it rose to nearly 12 meters.
Hun Sen blamed the variance of the Mekong's water levels on climate change and carbon emissions. He said the Mekong fell to its lowest level in 50 years in northern Thailand and Laos earlier this year. "It's related to the emissions that changed the pattern of the rains. . . . Don't say that because of the hydroelectricity there is no water in the lower part of the Mekong. That would be a mistake," he said.
The Phnomh Penh Post reports a total of 12 dams have been proposed for the Lower Mekong River, including two in Cambodia.

Chickpeas is amongst one of the best foods to consume for the winter. It is great source of zinc and helps in improving one's immunity levels. Zinc deficiency is often linked to decreased immunity levels. When you have low immunity you are more prone to fall sick, particularly during the winter time. Some of the other foods that are rich in zinc include chicken and also red meat. Foe those wondering about some ways to use chickpeas in their diet, here are some examples. You can use them in salads or also make stewed chickpeas with some garlic toasted bread.
Sometimes absorbing zinc can be quite difficult for your body to deal with. To help your body absorb zinc in a much better way you can consume garlic. It is an extremely powerful antioxidant that can help in reducing risks to various ailments during the winter season. Flu, fever and severe cold are some common ailments most people suffer from and these can be reduced with consumption of garlic in everyday diet.
As per some research conducted in the hospitals in Dubai, it has been suggested that omega-3 fatty acids can actually help in health issues like inflammation. Other ailments or risks like heart disease can also be substantially reduced with the consumption of cold-water fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Fishes like tuna, salmon etc. are cold-water fish that you can consume. If you are a vegetarian some alternatives could be chia seeds and walnuts too.
Another great food to consume during the winter season are mushrooms. They are one of the very few natural foods that comprise of vitamin D. Vitamin D plays a major role in improving your body's over immune system. It is also extremely helpful in avoiding or keeping at bay various infectious diseases. When purchasing mushrooms make it a point to check the label and see if the mushrooms you buy are rich in vitamin D.

Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies
As part of a broader pictorial turn in the Humanities since the 1990s, there has been an unprecedented scholarly interest in photography. Numerous recent studies in a variety of fields have considered photographs and albums—in more or less methodical ways—as exceptional types of documents, which simultaneously display reality and comment on it. Moreover, they have subjected photographs to a "postlinguisitc, postsemiotic rediscovery" (W.J.T. Mitchell) and expanded the focus to a wider visual culture and spectatorship, ranging from the gaze to practices of seeing. These studies have introduced new perceptions of photographic narratives as the foundation of shared memory (or "postmemory") and, indeed, new histories. Scholars of Jewish studies and Jewish history have offered some of the most systematic and inventive demonstrations of photo-analysis that enriches and complicates our understanding of historical experiences and mnemonic practices. This book brings together some of the most intriguing endeavors in this field and highlights current developments, from new approaches to private narratives in family albums and the transnational circulation of photographic imagery to novel emphases in the study of Jewish migration and the use of digital collections of photographs. We seek not only to showcase and reflect on these recent achievements, but also to underscore the interrelations between works in different fields of Jewish studies and history and between different theoretical approaches to the use of photography in historical research.
The book has therefore a twofold objective. First, it seeks to provide a state of the art account of the field: What are the most significant approaches to photography in Jewish studies and history to date? How have these approaches been implemented in recent scholarship? And how can they be integrated in other, new inquiries, which will underscore a diversity of aspects related to modern Jewish experiences -- often gender- based -- that include acculturation, the Shoah and anti-Jewish mass violence, and migration. Second, it introduces new studies by both established and up and coming scholars that utilize photography in novel manners to redefine the contours of Jewish history and memory in the near future. To achieve this ambitious goal, the volume would comprise a wide variety of relevant topics and categories from professional to "vernacular" photography, produced and consumed within institutional, commercial or private contexts. Likewise, the studies in our volume would consider single photographs, alongside albums and serialized collections, and would examine challenges of interpretation and narration. The variety of styles and aesthetics would be complemented by a variety of places that sheds light on the diversity of Jewish experience from across Europe to North and South America, Asia and the Middle-East since the nineteenth century. Without being fully exhaustive, the volume will cover fundamental meeting
points between photography and Jewish experiences as well as major trends and potentials of this crucial field of inquiry.
In light of these dual objectives, we welcome contributions by scholars from a variety of disciplines who work on the intersections of Jewish photography, memory and history. We invite submissions that ponder our stated objectives and questions with a more empirical or a more theoretical emphasis. Finally, we will only accept work that has not already been published elsewhere.
The essays should engage one or more of the following research areas without being fully limited by them:
Jewish photography's negotiation of: - Gender - Migration/immigration and exile - Jewish everyday life - Jewish nationalism and Zionism - The Jewish home - Jewish identity (religious, ethnic, cultural, etc.)
Theories and conceptualizations of Jewish photography
Photography and anti-Jewish mass violence, persecution, and antisemitism
From Jewish memories to postmemories
Photography in Jewish historiography
Jewish photographers and the history of photography
Jewish private and/or vernacular photography
Jewish philosophers and critics on photography
The curation of Jewish photography (including, but not limited to, its impact on Jewish memory and the narration of Jewish history in museums and memorials)
Jewish commercial photographers the business of photography
Please submit an abstract of 300 words (including title) and a short, 100-word bio to both Ofer Ashkenazi (ofer.ashkenazi@mail.huji.ac.il) and Thomas Pegelow Kaplan (thomaspegelowkaplan@appstate.edu) by August 31, 2020.
Survivors and their testimonies have been central to Holocaust research and memorial culture. Even before the end of the Shoah, survivor historians in parts of Eastern Europe liberated from Nazi occupation collected testimonies and conducted interviews with fellow survivors. These practices constituted an integral part in rebuilding lives, coping with trauma, and shaping collective memories (Laura Jockusch). The 1960s trials of Nazi perpetrators, which were increasingly driven by Holocaust survivor-witnesses, laid the groundwork for the transformation of survivors into "survivors" in courtrooms from Jerusalem to Frankfurt/Main (Carolyn J. Dean). By the late 1970s and early 1980s, the beginning "era of the witness" (Annette Wieviorka), survivors and their testimonies were subject to further changes in increasingly transnational Holocaust memory cultures. Accompanying the rise of Holocaust Studies in North America and parts of Europe, survivors assumed often prominent positions in public discourse, frequently spoke in communities, schools, and universities, and—imbued with moral authority—conveyed a range of lessons about past and future genocides. During the 1990s, audio-visual projects, most noteworthy by the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation (now USC Shoah Foundation), recorded Holocaust survivor voices around the globe in unprecedented numbers, further elevating their standing and significance. At the same time, international Holocaust scholarship shifted from a preoccupation with perpetrator records to the voices and agency of persecuted Jewish populations that had already been at the center of the work of many Israeli scholars for decades.
At the end of the twenty-first century's second decade, most adult survivors of the Holocaust are no longer with us and more and more child survivors – brought into sharp focus by the recent death of prominent survivor-activists like Eva Kor – are passing away. In the U.S. today, the number of survivors has shrunk by about half to under 70,000 in the span of the last decade. In Israel, the survivor population had fallen to less than 150,000 by 2015. Estimates for 2025 put this figure closer to 45,000. In response, various organizations have stepped up their efforts to record accounts from remaining survivors. The USC Shoah Foundation has introduced its "New Dimensions in Testimony" project that records three-dimensional, interactive testimonies of Holocaust survivors, which it is making available at museums throughout the United States.
With fewer and fewer survivors remaining among us, educators and researchers need to reconsider how and in what forms Holocaust scholarship and the memory of the Holocaust will continue. The main focus will certainly be the legacy that survivors leave behind in the forms of written, audio, and video testimonies. Holocaust testimonies have been studied in a myriad of ways. Many scholars have analyzed the devastating impact of the genocide on the survivors. They have focused on a range of factors from trauma to identity formation. Others have examined the transmission of survivor testimony to their children and grandchildren, who have their own stories to tell and are profoundly shaped by what some have conceptualized as "postmemory" (Marianne Hirsch). A different body of scholarship has shed light on survivors and their testimony in the broader societal contexts of Holocaust consciousness and memory. Still others, especially some cohorts of historians, have shifted the focus back to what these testimonies reveal about the actual events of the Shoah. A number of historians have proposed to take these sources at face value and dismissed approaching them with "cautious skepticism" (Jan Gross). Still others have compared larger bodies of testimonies, constructed "collected" and "core" memories (Christopher R. Browning), and used them as the main sources for monograph-length studies of the Shoah.
This edited volume sets out to reevaluate the study and role of Holocaust testimonies in the twenty-first century. The prospect of a world without Holocaust survivors poses profound challenges, precisely because their testimony has become so central to Holocaust memory, education, and research since the 1980s. Scholarly work on survivor testimony is done today in many academic disciplines. The rich and varied corpus of testimonies requires the collaborative efforts of researchers across disciplines to enable us to hear the voices of survivors articulated through their testimonies. This volume takes stock of the extensive work that has been accomplished, discusses the challenges, and explores new ways of preserving, analyzing, and re-presenting Holocaust survivor testimonies at this critical time.
In light of these objectives, we are welcoming contributions by scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from history and literary analysis to linguistics and genocide studies as well as from psychology and neuroscience to anthropology and memory studies. The editors encourage a broad variety of approaches from empirically oriented case studies to theoretical and methodological reflections. We also invite comparative work, contrasting testimony by Holocaust survivors with survivors of other genocides, and cross- and transnational studies. Lastly, we only accept work that has not already been published elsewhere.
The essays should address some of the following questions without being limited by them:
What are the meanings and conceptualizations of "Holocaust testimony"?
What are the key methodological and theoretical approaches in the study of Holocaust testimonies? What are these approaches' accomplishments and shortcomings and how can we sharpen our readings of these invaluable sources?
How should Holocaust testimonies be classified and categorized?
What role do gender, occupation, age, place, and/or time play?
What are the insights and challenges of analyzing multiple testimonies given by the same survivors at different times after 1945?
How does video testimony differ from other forms of testimony (written, audio and the like)? What specific approaches does the study of these testimonies require?
How do the changing contexts (oral history, courtroom testimony, public presentation, conversation among survivors and the like) in which testimonies are given impact their form and outcome?
How have Holocaust testimonies shaped the construction of history and memory cultures? To what extent did the increasing significance of testimonies and their collection since the 1990s reflect a crisis in confidence in academic history and the work of professional historians and scholars of related disciplines? How do testimonies affect and/or change historical understanding and memorialization?
What insights do early Holocaust testimonies (of the 1940s and 1950s) convey? How do they differ from later testimonies (since the 1980s)? Is there a need for re-reading and re-interpretation and what forms would it take?
What are the challenges of a time in the not too distant future, when there will be no more Holocaust survivors to give testimony?
What is the role of second- and third-generation Holocaust testimony? What are the prospects and limits of concepts such as postmemory? What can we learn from studies of intergenerational transmission of trauma and resilience?
What are the prospects and limitations in the use of three-dimensional, interactive testimonies of Holocaust survivors such as the USC Shoah Foundation's "New Dimensions in Testimony" project for Holocaust education, memory, and research?
What strategies have Holocaust deniers employed to undermine Holocaust testimonies? What is the role of survivor-witnesses and their testimonies in combatting Holocaust denial?
Please submit an abstract of up to 400 words (including title) and a 100-word bio to Boaz Cohen (BoazC@wgalil.ac.il), Wolf Gruner (gruner@dornsife.usc.edu), Miriam Offer (miriamoffer@gmail.com), and Thomas Pegelow Kaplan (thomaspegelowkaplan@appstate.edu) by Jan. 1, 2020.

Franco Davín (Pehuajó, provincia de Buenos Aires, ) es un extenista argentino. En su momento, fue una de las tantas promesas del tenis argentino de finales de los años 1980, aunque sus mayores logros llegaron a posteriori de su retiro, en 1997 y a los 27 años de edad.

Infancia y primeros pasos
Cursó su estudios primarios en la Escuela Domingo Faustino Sarmiento de la ciudad de Pehuajó y posteriormente, en forma parcial, realizó estudios secundarios en la Escuela Nacional Normal. Cuando estaba en segundo año no pudo continuar, al incursionar activamente en el tenis.
Carlos González, su instructor de tenis en Pehuajó, recuerda que Franquito tenía 8 años de edad y concurría a la colonia "Vacaciones Felices", que conducía el profesor Carlos Domínguez. Se formaban grupos y elegían un deporte. Franco optó por el tenis y al dejar la Colonia comenzó a recibir clases con González. Fue en el mes de diciembre, después de la clausura de la mencionada temporada de recreación infantil.
Rápidamente asimiló técnicas y comenzó paulatinamente a identificarse con la disciplina e incursionó en la faz competitiva. A los 9 años ya era Campeón Provincial. A los 10 años, logró en Mendoza el primer campeonato nacional. Tenía 12 años y gana el Sudamericano disputado en Gimnasia y Esgrima de la Capital Federal y poco después, también con 12 años, se adjudica el título mundial en Mónaco (Francia). Más tarde, ganaría la copa Banana Boll en Brasil; aún con 13 años derrotaba a tenistas que tenían 18.

Su desempeño fue brillante y sus condiciones excelentes. "Tenía una habilidad muy especial y sobre todo era un chico responsable y obediente", recuerda el profesor González. No faltaba ni a las clases ni a los entrenamientos, le dedicaba 3 horas por día como mínimo.  Teniendo en cuenta sus condiciones, al poco tiempo se sumó a la escuela de tenis de Pérez Roldan, en Tandil, e integró un exitoso cuarteto en aquellos tiempos, junto a los hermanos Guillermo y Mariana Pérez Roldan y a Patricia Tarabini,  hija de un conocido futbolista. Franco se destacó de sobremanera y escaló rápidamente en el ámbito internacional.

Vivía en calle Alsina al 900, a escasas 4 cuadras del Club Estudiantes Unidos, lugar donde comenzó a identificarse con el tenis.
El profesor González se mantiene en contacto permanente con Franco, ahora en su exitosa condición de entrenador. Mantienen comunicaciones frecuentes y especialmente en los esporádicos viajes que realiza a Pehuajó, donde Franco mantiene la casa de su infancia y adolescencia.

Campaña como Junior
En el '85, llegó cuartos del US Open, octavos en Wimbledon y cuartos en Roland Garrós. Semifinalista en dobles con Guillermo Pérez Roldán.
En el '86, octavos en Roland Garrós y finalista del US Open (perdió con Javier Sánchez). En dobles llegó a cuartos del US Open, con Pérez Roldán.
En el '87, fue semifinalista en Roland Garrós, y en dobles finalista con Pérez Roldán
Ya a los 14 años contaba con puntos ATP, y fue el mejor Junior de su época.

Etapa en el circuito
Su primer halago importante fue al poco tiempo de cumplir 15 años, cuando batió en el ATP de Buenos Aires a Hans Gildemesiter para convertirse en el jugador más joven en ganar un certamen de ese estilo.

Las temporadas 1989, 1990 y 1994 lo vieron consagrarse en St. Vincent, Palermo y Bucarest respectivamente; además de llegar a cuartos de final en Roland Garros 1991 y poder vencer a lo largo de su relativamente corta carrera a grandes jugadores como Boris Becker, Juan Bruguera y Andre Agassi. Su mejor ranking lo alcanzó en 1990, cuando el 8 de octubre apareció 30º en la clasificación. En el 94, fue el mejor tenista argentino del circuito. Sólo jugó dos singles por la Copa Davis, en febrero de 1995, en Buenos Aires, en el cotejo en el que la Argentina superó a Chile por 3 a 2.

En 1997, mientras enfrentaba al holandés Van Hudt en la ronda clasificatoria del Challenger de Barletta, se acercó al juez y le comunicó que no seguiría jugando pero no por una lesión sino porque se retiraba. Inesperadamente y a los 27 años, Franco decidió que hasta allí había llegado su ciclo como jugador. Su entrenador de aquel entonces, Eduardo Infantino, no comprendía la situación por el lugar donde se había suscitado, pero sabía desde el año anterior, cuando una dolencia en un hombro lo alejó varios meses de las canchas, que el partido final estaba presto a jugarse en cualquier momento. Luego de 11 años de grandes sacrificios, Davín decidió que era hora de explotar su pasión por el tenis desde otro lugar.

Como entrenador

De ese modo, comenzó a trabajar para desempeñarse como entrenador, y su primera experiencia fue en 1998, dirigiendo el equipo de Fed Cup ante la renuncia de Martín Jaite. En 1999 la chance fue, nada más y nada menos, que con el equipo Nacional de Copa Davis, que buscaba retornar al grupo mundial luego de algunos años de opacas actuaciones y sin rumbo definido. El resultado fue el ansiado ascenso en el 2001, comenzando así una era en la que la tendencia cambió radicalmente: Ahora se pelea por la «Ensaladera», lejos de la chance de perder la categoría.

Poco tiempo después, el nuevo desafío de Davín se llamó Guillermo Coria, un talento que asomaba con fuerza. Franco guio los pasos del «Mago» hasta diciembre de 2002, obteniendo junto a él los Challenger de Lima, San Pablo, Montevideo y Buenos Aires en 2000, el ATP de Buenos Aires en 2001, y los Challenger de Lugano y Prostejov en 2002.

En diciembre de 2002, la etapa del santafesino junto a Davín culminó, para dar paso a otra igual de atractiva al lado de Gastón Gaudio, otro jugador de esa generación prometedora. Junto al «Gato», Davín alcanzó la gran satisfacción de su carrera como entrenador al vencer en Roland Garros 2004, en la única final de la historia netamente argentina: Gastón Gaudio-Guillermo Coria. Dos «productos» de Franco. Posteriormente, su vínculo con Gaudio generó otras satisfaciones en torneos ATP, tales los casos de Buenos Aires, Viña del Mar, Kitzbuhel y Gstaad, además de una decorosa presentación en el Masters 2005.

Posteriormente, en 2009, completó otro gran logro como mentor de Juan Martín del Potro, en el Abierto de Estados Unidos 2009, donde el tandilense logró el primer Grand Slam de su carrera al vencer a Roger Federer en la final en 5 sets.

De esta manera, Davín ya ha sido entrenador de 2 campeones de Grand Slam; Gastón Gaudio y Del Potro. Además, fue entrenador del campeón en 2 Grand Slam diferentes; Roland Garros y Abierto de los Estados Unidos.

Henrik de Gyor: This is Another DAM Podcast about Digital Asset Management. I'm Henrik de Gyor.
Today, I'm speaking with Mark Leslie.
Mark Leslie: I'm wonderful. How about yourself, how are you doing today?
Henrik de Gyor: Great. Mark, how are you involved with Digital Asset Management?
Mark Leslie: I've been in the graphic design space for just a little bit over 20 years now. And I go all the way back to when working even in a small design shop or an ad agency, how you would complete a project and things would get archived of onto a floppy or a zip disk, and you wanted to be able to locate those things after the fact. So building some kind of an index or having some kind of a cataloging program where at least you could find things that were offline was very important. Just as things have progressed in my career, and I've worked in larger volume environments, that DAM has become more and more important. That's what DAM is all about right?
Find what you're looking for, find the exact file at the right time, and the longer we go and the more digital anything that we have, the more important it is to be able to put your finger directly on something. Another thing that I've done in the last couple of years with DAM is being more involved in the community itself where I've been a speaker, a presenter a couple of times for Henry Stewart. DAM is an excellent opportunity, especially for companies that are looking at a challenge that they are not sure how to solve, it's a great place to start. And I've also spoken and done a case study presentation at Adobe Summit this past spring. Just writing articles, and blog posts and spending a lot of time thinking about what this space can do, where we are right now, and what's coming next.
Henrik de Gyor: Mark, how does one of the largest sportswear manufacturers use Digital Asset Management?
Mark Leslie: Well basically our company was responsible for apparel and headwear. A lot of it was for what we call licensed properties or a professional sport. So it's things worn by the fans to celebrate their teams. And even at times, authentic apparel worn on the field. The way our DAM was used is basically as a collaboration platform throughout our product creation process, end to end. It basically sorts out into two large buckets. On one side you have the kind of technical specification documents that drive our manufacturing processes, and on the other side you have product photography. So all these things that get provided to retail partners and business to business that allow demand creation, and we literally would see it on a retailer's website or in a print ad.
So we're basically looking at that in a way, kind of almost like a closed circuit TV. It's not necessarily driving any kind of public visibility, it does downstream of us, but we're providing all that content and generating all that content so that it can be used to drive a couple of processes. I'll tell you one of the things about DAM that we picked up early on in my time with the company that was actually a great side effect of DAM. For one professional sports league, we were putting together presentation boards that would serve a couple of purposes. One would be to take any given style and show for that product season what it would look like in all teams, and then we would have another type of presentation that would say, "For this team," these are all the styles that are offered in the season and how they would all look together as a collection.
And we were new to our DAM implementation at that time, this was many years ago. There was something about that process, which by the way was entirely manual. So we were taking images from DAM and placing them into a document, and doing this by hand, things would be stable, and it would be great, and you'd come back maybe a week or two later and something about the way those images were being placed that it just wasn't being honored. So we ended up having to recreate those documents several times during that season. It didn't affect our ability to deliver. We still hit all of our deadlines, but in the back of my mind I kept thinking, "There's got to be a better way." So as a result coming out of that, we did internal development for automation tools and client-side automation that was able to eventually assist creation of all of those technical documents that go out to the factories. It was able to populate pages and catalogs that we used for our sales and marketing materials, and all those things are very, very embedded in the environment.
It's something that when you're working at scale, you worry about how long something takes, even if it's just a short amount of time, you're doing it a lot of times. And when you do something a lot, is there a way to not have to do it manually? And that was a great learning coming out of having a very powerful DAM at our disposal. I'll give you an example of some of things that we in addition to the product photography and the technical specification documents that we save in the DAM, we also, because we're dealing with professional sports leagues and teams, we have a lot of partner identity or logo information that's stored in there as well. That's used by all of the design and production teams to go through, pull out what they need as a raw material or a source image to start a design or to complete work on a design.
So there's a lot of that information stored in there as well. And to put some numbers around things, if you think just in terms of the product photography, every week there's something between 2500 and 4500 new product photos generated that all come into the DAM, need to have the proper meta-data associated with them, they need to be reviewed and approved and be pushed off to where they can be published and available to our downstream audience, to our retail partners. So a lot of files moving through that system. And if it wasn't for DAM I just don't know at that volume how we would be able to accomplish what we do.
Mark Leslie: I think one of the biggest challenges is looking at DAM … let's say that you've got an established platform and you know what your capabilities are, there will come the time where your challenged with … the DAM will enable us to do, say fill in the blank, this example. And what that may require is some kind of sweeping change in the way that the business process is conducted or at least just the way that steps the order that work is done. Sometimes it can eliminate steps, it can eliminate several steps in a process. You might actually even be able to automate a large chunk of the work. But it's being able to raise that awareness and to get the business to commit to the significant change that might have to happen in order to get that payback on the other side.
And just that human element of being able to walk everybody through that landscape and help them to understand. Another thing that's a challenge is being able to look at the type of assets that are generated throughout a full life cycle of something. Let me step back and talk about full lifecycle. There is an originally an idea for something that's going to be eventually created as an asset. Someone somewhere says, "You know what I need? I need a visual that is," again fill in the blank. Somebody writes a creative brief, there is a marketing plan, whatever it is, something creates the need for an asset. Assets just don't show up on their own. Somebody asked for it, there was a need, there was an ask.
So from the moment that that work begins on that asset, it's life cycle has started. And all the way out the point where it gets used for the last time, those are the two goal posts. And in between that is the full life cycle of the asset. The temptation can be a lot of times for a business process to combine several things together into a document and you end up with maybe the need later to try to extract things back out of that document because you need just this piece or just this element. And you can actually stop that from being a problem if you go back and say, "What are the kind of things that typically we might extract now, and is there a way to save that as a component or an element so that I could just pull that up on-demand?" And even better, it's not me pulling it up on-demand, it's an automated process pulling that up on demand and providing it for whatever the appropriate situation is. As far as a success with DAM.
There was a period here a couple years back where we had been in a previous DAM platform for many years. The need had come to modernize. So we went through the process of evaluating what was available in the market, vendor selection and all of that stuff. But knowing that we were such a high volume art operation, we basically had to … it's kind of like doing engine work on a helicopter while it's flying. We had to continue being able to fly, we had to continue to deliver product. We could not stop, land and wait. And we went through that process even though we had a very tight timeline, we were able to extract an export what we needed from the old system to configure the new system, bring the assets in and get up and running with very little disruption in the business. And I would consider that to be a very large success.
And if you really understand the business, you ask a lot of questions because you're curious, and you've looked at the key problems that you want to be able to solve, and what it's going to look like when they are solved, then kind of figure out what technology solutions fit into that to make that happen is easy. If you go about it the other way it's going to be very hard and it's probably not going to work very well. So if you're a curious person, and you ask a lot of questions and you use the discoveries from those questions to drive you to new discoveries, you're already set up.

Henrik de Gyor: [0:02] This is Another DAM Podcast about digital asset management. I am Henrik de Gyor. Today I'm speaking with Rubyliza Gaba. Rubyliza, how are you?
Rubyliza Gaba: [0:11] I'm good, how are you doing?
Henrik: [0:13] Great. Rubyliza, how are you involved with digital asset management?
Rubyliza: [0:17] I am the Digital Asset Archivist at Fossil. Aside from ingesting images and checking out metadata integrity, I also do training and troubleshoot any issues our local and global users encounter.
Henrik: [0:31] How does an American designer and manufacturer of clothing and accessories use digital asset management?
Rubyliza: [0:37] Our DAM is used as a centralized archival repository. It houses all of Fossil's final product images across multiple brands and product categories. Internally, it's used by multiple departments, both locally and internationally via our regional offices.
[0:57] Actually, Fossil's DAM is fairly young, only being launched in early 2014. So Pre‑DAM it was a bit of a challenge to locate images after they were worked on and finalized. Images were housed in multiple locations, including internal file shares and external FTP servers. We also have an archive system where images were actually burnt onto physical CDs and DVDs for archival purposes. Of course, this process was plagued with issues such as media being mislabeled, or maybe being checked out and never returned.
[1:32] Now that the DAM is in place, our users simply search for the images that they need, and they download them in the format that they require.
Henrik: [1:42] What are the biggest challenges and successes you've seen with DAM?
Rubyliza: [1:45] I think the biggest challenge I've seen with the DAM system was change management. I can figure out system issues, but trying to introduce a new piece of technology to people, and convincing them that this system will actually help them was a bit tough.
[2:01] I completely understand that change is difficult sometimes. People are set in their own ways. They want to continue doing something that they've been doing for a while, because they know it works for them.
[2:13] When we were in the beginning stages of our implementation, we knew that user experience is the key to a successful DAM system. We wanted to make sure that our DAM would be easy for anyone to use, and in turn maybe ease any nervousness that they had for using a new system.
[2:32] What we did, my team and I, we set up meetings with our future users to discuss what they needed to be housed in the DAM, what functionality was required around that content, what pieces of metadata needed to be captured and how and when to capture it, and also the folder structure of the system.
[2:52] The final result is an interface that's very sleek, and a search function that's super simple to use. We found that with the proper training, users became more comfortable using our DAM.
[3:06] To us, user adoption is hugely important. We didn't want to be to set in our own ways. We work with so many brands that are all individually unique. If something doesn't work for a team, we're always happy to discuss what needs to be done to provide the experience they expect from us.
[3:28] As for successes, I would have to say it's knowing that people use our system. We've been getting pretty positive responses to it. Also, another success is seeing our user count grow. When we originally rolled out our DAM, it was only to a small group of users in our local offices. Now, our user number is in the thousands and span a global community.
[3:55] It's really a great feeling to see something you've worked on so hard on it, just positively impact other people's daily work processes. It's been an amazing experience to be involved from day one, to be a part of the process and to watch our system grow into what it is today. It's increased productivity across the board, and I really look forward to the future of our DAM.
Henrik: [4:19] Excellent. Rubyliza, what advice would you like to share with DAM professionals and people aspiring to become DAM professionals?
Rubyliza: [4:25] My advice is to network. That was the biggest advice given to me when I was in school. Networking is key, whether you are already a DAM professional or aspiring to be one. It's always great to talk to others in our field. You can go to conferences, join organizations, and just meet each other face to face. We have a fantastic and supportive community out there, through my experiences.
[4:50] As for aspiring DAM professionals in school, I would get involved in volunteer work or internships. To me, you can have all the education in the world, but it's that hands‑on training that helps. Also, it's a good step towards building a network too. Also, work on that LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn, I think, is an amazing tool that not too many people are using, surprisingly.
[5:15] Finally, remember when you do get the job, don't get discouraged if you find yourself doing things that maybe aren't always related to digital asset management. Always remember to be flexible.
Henrik: [5:28] Great advice. Thanks, Rubyliza.
Rubyliza: [5:30] Thank you. It was a pleasure to be a part of your podcast.

A Portion of the People: The Exhibition
The nationally traveling exhibition, A Portion of the People: Three Hundred Years of Southern Jewish Life,challenges popular conceptions about the South's significance in American Jewish history. How many people know that South Carolina was the first place in the western world to elect a Jew to public office; that
Silver basket presented to Charleston's Congregation Beth Elohim in 1841. Private collection.
in 1800 Charleston was home to more Jews than any other town or city in North America; or that it was the birthplace of Reform Judaism on this side of the Atlantic? Our show tells a story that both in its grand sweep and in its subtle dimensions is unique in American Jewish history and rare among groups anywhere. The product of a seven-year collaboration by the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina, McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina, and the College of Charleston, A Portion of the People stirs the imagination and breaks down barriers between audience and object.
The tale's dynamic is found in the tension between the ways in which Jews have worked to become a part of southern society and the efforts they have made to sustain a separate Jewish identity. The exhibition gives equal weight to two levels of interpretation. First there is the historical narrative, organized by chronology and theme. Here we stress the importance of Jews in the public sphere and try to convey the substance of a southern Jewish culture — its physical texture, look, color, pace, smell, and sound. Second, embedded in the historical narrative is a philosophical concern with the power of the past and the role of memory in shaping patterns of everyday life. Visitors are asked to consider: Where do we find history? How do we lay claim to our culture? How do we change or conserve it?

Chapman Levy, ca. 1835. Jewish Heritage Collection, College of Charleston Library.
In its inquiry into the nature of memory and identity, A Portion of the Peoplecomes alive for audiences both Jewish and non-Jewish, southern and non-southern. The show addresses the implications of the Carolina Jewish experience for people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds who made a place for themselves in a pluralistic society. By analyzing the relationships among setting, dominant local culture, and economic change, we look at how tradition adapts to new conditions. Does successful adaptation mean assimilation? Ethnic separation? A new identity? The exhibit invites visitors to consider how they know who they are — what stories, objects, places, and experiences are integral to their own identities. In doing so A Portion of the People nurtures self-awareness, the first step toward embracing the "other."

How to Get Your Child to Open Up to You
The views expressed in this post are those of a Spoke contributor and do not necessarily represent the views of Red Tricycle.
As a child therapist, the most common complaint I hear from parents is, "He just won't talk to me." Feeling estranged from your own child is painful, and it has implications for the child. Research indicates the most important predictor of a child's emotional and psychological stability is the closeness of the parent/child relationship. Obviously, if the child is not opening up when they are upset, the relationship is not as close as it needs to be.
There are two habits that parents' routinely engage in that shut down communication and drive a child away: negating feelings and mistaking sympathy for empathy.
Sympathy vs. empathy
When a child is truly in distress because they feel hurt, disappointed, worried, or angry, they desperately need their parent. Yet, often, parents don't want to see their child feeling negatively, so their first instinct is to tell their child not to feel the way they do. Before they think, statements such as "don't be disappointed" or "don't be mad" escape. This results in the child feeling ashamed of how they feel, compounding the hurt. Moreover, the knowledge that their parent does not understand, leaves them feeling alone, which is detrimental. Basically, the child learns that opening up about how they feel makes them feel worse.
Statements to avoid:
Don't feel that way.
Don't be disappointed..
Don't be like that.
Don't be mad.
You are too sensitive.
A better idea is to empathize. Honor their feelings. Feelings are never wrong, it's what kids do with feelings that can get them in trouble.
Examples of empathy include:
That's a big worry. I get it.
You are upset. I would be too.
You have every right to feel disappointed. I felt like that when I was your age.
You are mad. I understand. You have every right.
It hurts to see someone do something you want to be able to do, but can't yet.
You are mad. I'm sure you have a good reason. I want to hear about it.
After you give them a solid dose of empathy, the child feels understood and connected to you, which means they immediately feel better, and will want your help in problem solving. In many cases, the empathy is all they need to feel better. Simply knowing their parent understands, allows them to feel secure and forge ahead.
In addition, just because you empathize with how your child feels, does not automatically mean you are condoning bad behavior. For example, my son came in the door angry last week. He slammed the door and threw his coat down. I said, "You are mad. I don't know why, but you probably have a very good reason, and I want to hear about it, but you can't throw your coat. Go pick it up." After he picked up his jacket, he immediately came to me and told he was upset about conflict he got into with a friend.
Empathy wins
Here's how it works: Empathy creates good Vagal tone in a child's brain and immediately calms them. After the empathy, they settle down and can logically think through problems with you. They also feel understood and close to you which allows them to forge ahead with a sense of security.
No parent wants a child who feels sorry for themselves, plays the victim, or is over dramatic, and maybe that is the fear that prevents a parent from being empathic, however, honoring their child's feelings is actually what prevents a sense of entitlement or a victim mentality in a child. Sympathy, on the other hand, disrupts any chance of emotional attunement and tempts parents to enable. The parent saves and rescues their child from negative feelings instead of helping them work through difficult feelings.
For example, on the way home from hockey practice one night my 8-year-old son Jimmy said to me, "Mom, I was the worst one tonight. I'm the worst one every night. I barely got put in."
Now, I have two choices, the sympathetic response or the empathic response.
The sympathetic response: "Poor guy, Im going to call your coach and talk to him. I don't think it's fair that he benches you for most of the practice."
The empathic response: "That hurts, kiddo. It hurts to feel like you're the worst one. I get it. I've felt like that a lot in my life. It stinks. Keep at it. It will get better."
In essence, the sympathetic response, tempts us to enable and ask that the rules be changed or concessions be made for our child, which teaches them to play the victim. Also, it requires no emotional investment on the parent's part because the parent becomes the powerful saver and rescuer which strokes the parent's ego. It is the easy way out.
The empathic response requires the parent shift from how they feel, to how the child feels. It's emotional attunement. It's the parent remembering how it feels to be the worst one at something, so they can relate to their child. It's selfless and it puts the child first, emotionally. When there is emotional attunement, the child feels understood, and connected to you, which allows them to feel secure and more able to forge ahead and try again. Empathy creates a rugged work ethic and resilience in a child. The child will thrive on adversity instead of breaking down when negative things happen. Empathy creates brave and strong human beings.
Stay close to your child. Empathize and empower. The reward will be priceless.

The West Virginia Notary Public Errors and Omissions Policy is a form of liability insurance that protects you, acting as a duly commissioned and sworn West Virginia Notary Public, during the policy period and subject to the policy limits, from claims or suits that are the result of your negligent acts, errors or omissions. Unlike a notary bond, which only protects the public, this policy will pay for investigation, defense and settlement of committed or alleged acts by the insured subject to the policy's liability limit. Once that limit has been paid by the insurer, the policy stops providing coverage and you are personally responsible for any additional legal fees or damages.
