Dr. DeFoore's Healing Anger Newsletter entitled "Fear Can Make You Stronger And Safer"
Hi, learn how fear can make you stronger and safer.
How Does Fear Make You Stronger?
A New Online Test The interactive Emotional Balance Sheet is now up and running. Here is where you take a look at your overall emotional health. Just like a financial balance sheet, the Emotional Balance Sheet will tell you whether you're operating at a surplus or deficit (of emotional energy, not money).
We have two other interactive online tests, one to assess your escalation patterns, and one to measure your depression level.
It's all a matter of how you respond to it. And that's the idea...you need to respond to it instead of reacting to it.
Most people have a knee-jerk, unconscious reaction to their fear, which puts it in charge. When you understand your fear and what's behind it, you can use it to become stronger and safer.
Your basic fears are connected to survival, identity and love.
They come up when your life (or the life of a loved one) is threatened, when you are at risk of embarrassment, and when you're afraid of losing the love and affection of a loved one.
If you don't know or understand these fears, they rule you, causing you to do things that you really don't want to do (like have huge anger outbursts).
By learning to understand your fears and heal the pain behind them, you transform the fear into vigilance and awareness, that make you stronger and safer.
The final step is when you learn to develop healthy anger, which enables you to take powerful, effective action to protect yourself and create healthy relationships.
The two main focal points here are healing the pain behind the fear and developing healthy anger.
Now let's look at some steps you can take to transform your fear into vigilance and awareness.
Vigilance and awareness is cool. There's no two ways about it. You can be totally relaxed, calm and focused while being vigilant and aware. That is healthy fear.
First, make a list of your major fears. You have to be very honest with yourself here, because most of us are afraid of fear. It takes courage to face your fears, and pretending you don't have any fear will only make you weak and vulnerable to anybody who pushes your buttons.
Next, figure out what the story is behind each of your fears. Write this out, so that you really get focused on it.
Once you know what the story is, use these imagery processes to heal the pain behind your fear.
Then learn about healthy anger, and begin practicing the skills to use this powerful emotion to reach your positive goals in your life and relationships.
Finally, become a powerful, positive focuser by using this Goodfinding journaling process to stay aware of what is good, right and working in your life.
Imagine having all of the emotional energy of your fear and anger working for you instead of against you. That is true, healthy personal power.
Healthy fear is vigilance and awareness, and healthy anger is powerful effective action. That is all yours, for the asking. And it all lives inside you, your best anger management resource.
This audio CD program, also available for download as an MP3 file to play on your computer, iPod or other MP3 player, will take you through all of the steps to develop healthy anger, which is good for your health and all of your relationships. Plus, it will help you reach your life goals!


Founded in 1878 by a few enthusiasts, Troon Golf Club soon outgrew its purely local reputation. The Old Course today represents a stern golfing examination and in particular the inward half of Royal Troon is widely accepted as the most demanding of any Course on the Championship rota.
Take a virtual tour around our clubhouse. From the Reception to the Pro Shop, you can walk through room to room.
View a summary of our Green Fee's, both for our challenging Old Course and the Portland Course - designed by the Troon professional William Fernie.
The Old Course is a challenging test of golfing ability. With the wind to contend with, and deep rough interspersed with gorse and broom, accurate shot making is essential.
The Portland is a little more sheltered than the Old Course and, of course, shorter. The holes meander through terrain filled with gorse and broom and has a generous helping of Par 3's and Par 5's.

STI president to report to school board
Patrick Anderson
panderson@argusleader.com
Southeast Technical Institute's top official will report directly to the Sioux Falls School District's board of education instead of reporting to Superintendent Pam Homan, according to a Friday announcement.
The change will give STI more distinction in the community and simplify the job description for the superintendent who replaces Homan when she retires, Alberty said.
"We're doing this because we feel that STI could be and should be more visible in the community," Alberty said.
South Dakota's four technical institutes all fall under the supervision of K-12 school districts and the state Department of Education – unlike state universities, which answer to the South Dakota Board of Regents.
Holcomb has expressed a desire to break from the Sioux Falls district and establish an independent board for STI. A law introduced this year might make that possible.
Under the law, the Sioux Falls school board could grant STI the freedom to establish a local education agency. However, lawmakers have said details need to be worked out so technical institutes can receive funding directly from the state.
Making Holcomb the board's responsibility is only slightly connected to the law change and Holcomb's wish for an independent governing board, Alberty said.
Alberty also serves on the STI Council, an advisory group without the teeth it needs to make the final call on new programs. The responsibility instead falls to the state.
Under the new structure, effective Friday, at least one layer of oversight is removed, giving Holcomb a little more flexibility when it comes to making decisions for his school, Alberty said.
"This will help to, I think, streamline some of that," Alberty said.
About 1,000 students graduate from STI each year.
Holcomb used to attend regular school board meetings, but will now meet with board members in separate sessions -- still public -- outside of the standard calendar.
Homan has announced she would retire at the end of the 2014-15 school year. Removing STI from her list of responsibilities also removes it from the list of responsibilities of her successor, and that makes it easier for the board to find quality candidates, Alberty said.
"We feel that that will give the school board the opportunity to concentrate more fully (on) the search for that really, really highly qualified K-12 superintendent," Alberty said.

skilled tasks of the city's work force such as common day labor. White immigrants, on the other hand, although over two-to-one in the manual class, were more evenly dispersed occupationally than either black group and were heavily concentrated in the skilled category. Given the disparity between both black groups and the white immigrants, it is plain that racial considerations were paramount in Miami's employment structure. A foreigner and a native American were treated alike if both were black. With respect to the distribution of native whites, it is not surprising that they occupied the position of greatest strength in relation to the other groups and un
doubtedly enjoyed the greatest number of benefits resulting from the city's wartime prosperity. The key queston of whether the occupational experience of blacks "fits anywhere on the immigrant spectrum" 14 requires further historical investigation. Hopefully, it will receive at least partial treatment from other researchers in their exploration of the World War I Selective Service records available in Atlanta.

BRINGING THE ARCHIVES INTO THE CLASSROOM:
THE FEDERAL RECORDS CENTER AS
THE HISTORIAN'S LABORATORY
JACK F. KILFOIL
The most effective and stimulating approach to the study of history is that which allows the student to write it himself. Additional incentive is provided if the student is convinced that he is breaking new ground -that his research will perhaps result in a unique contribution to the study of history. In 1971 the history department at California State College, Dominguez Hills, with the cooperation of the Los Angeles Federal Records Center conducted an experimental class in historical methods for undergraduate history majors by using the resources of the records center as a historical laboratory. The following is a description of the pilot project.
First, a dozen items were selected from the center's preliminary inventories. Documents that were in fragile condition or that might be easily disarranged when handled by novice researchers were omitted. From this material three types of records were chosen as especially promising, using as criteria the self-contained nature of the set, the amount of narrative as opposed to printed forms, and the inherent interest of the material, for example, Chinese deportation cases rather than government boundary survey reports.
The assignment to the students was intentionally vague-go to the records center, plan to spend a few hours looking over the selected material in the search room, visit the center at least once again, and complete a report describing the experience. While it was not a requirement, the students were encouraged to try to unearth a story or a coherent sequence of events from the documents. Originally the students were to be given a tour of the records center to acquaint them with the history and purpose of the federal records centers. Unfortunately, a severe earthquake in February 1971 disrupted these plans, and, except for the initial group of six students, orientation was conducted on an individual basis as each student arrived. Because time would not allow this method as a regular procedure, a videotape tour and lecture was produced and in the future will be shown to each class prior to their visit to the center. It was also recommended that students read Gerald T. White, "Government Archives Afield: The Federal Records Centers and the Historian," Journal of American History, 55 (1969) : 833-842.
The student reports produced after contact with archival material varied from general surveys evaluating the usefulness of such primary material to specific topics as, for example, "Racial Discrimination in the Federal Courts (United States District Court, Southern Division), 1912," "Cigar Smuggling and the United States Customs Office, San Diego, 1880-1886," "Enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the Second Judicial District of the Territory of Arizona, 1907," and "Indian Families on the Fort Apache Reservation, 1912." These reports demonstrated that the students devoted extraordinary time and effort to the project primarily because they were thrilled at the prospect of seeing and touching the original source materials. One student, although he complained that the archival material was "quite dry and boring," visited the center more often than required and compiled a report that represented many hours of concentrated reading in a wide range of primary materials. Curiosity and the interest stimulated by contact with old documents acted as powerful attractions. One student stressed that "the work at the archives was a particularly interesting and beneficial exercise primarily because it was
new experience, but also because we seemed to be putting into practice what we had been studying and discussing in class."
The most common student complaint,
one that had been anticipated, was that they were unable to comprehend the significance of documents because their historical background was inadequate. Several more experienced history majors, prepared with background material, are now using records center resources for more ambitious research projects. The vast majority of Dominguez Hills history majors are preparing for elementary and secondary school teaching careers and probably will never undertake full-scale research projects. Their introduction to archival material was primarily to impress upon them the vast gulf between the raw evidence that has survived and the smooth narrative history texts, which they are assigned and from which they in turn will teach. Students learned that neither historians nor histories are infallible.
Because of the success of the pilot project, a new course, "Research Methods and Field Study," has been added to the history curriculum at Dominguez Hills. Required of all history majors in the junior year, the course seeks to develop critical and bibliographical skills for historical research and provide guided observation and analysis of manuscript collections and specialized libraries. The college will make use of the federal records center, where not only the historian and graduate student but the undegraduate is welcomed.
ACCESSIONS AND OPENINGS
by a consultant to the secretary of labor during Phase I of President Nixon's economic stabilization program. Both accessions have been made by the Industrial and Social Branch.
The administrator of general services is authorized by law to accept for accessioning as part of the National Archives of the United States the records of a federal agency or the Congress that the archivist of the United States judges to have sufficient historical or other value to warrant their continued preservation by the United States government. In addition, certain personal papers and privately produced audiovisual materials that relate to federal activities may also be accepted. Normally, only records at least twenty years old are considered for transfer; the chief exceptions are essential documentary sources of federal actions and the records of terminated agencies.
Excluded from the recent accessions described below are those that only fill minor gaps or extend the date span of records already in the custody of the National Archives and Records Service. As noted, some of the accessions have been made by the archives branches of the federal records centers and by the presidential libraries.
Price and wage stabilization controls are not new to the American taxpayer. During the Korean War certain controls were administered by the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) and the Wage Stabilization Board (WSB), which were units of the Economic Stabilization Agency. The agency was activated during the war to control inflation and to maintain stabilization of the national economy. The Archives Branch, Denver Federal Records Center, has accessioned thirty-one cubic feet of records from 1951 to 1953 of the Denver regional offices of the OPS and WSB, which had responsibility for Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Among the WSB records received are rulings and opinions case files; a general subject file that includes file headings pertaining to accounting, communications, meetings, cooperation with other federal offices, public relations, and wages; and record copies of minutes of the Eleventh Regional WSB meetings. The Denver OPS office had responsibility for the price stabilization program in the region. Of interest are regional price surveys that indicate price changes during 1952.
The Archives Branch, Kansas City Federal Records Center, has recently accessioned sixteen cubic feet of records created
The worth of the dollar today may be compared with data reported in over two hundred cubic feet of Bureau of Labor Statistics cost-of-living schedules collected for the periods 1918-19, 1932-33, and 1935-36. What some members of the public thought about efforts to combat more recent inflation is shown in correspondence handled
by field units of the Economic Stabilization Agency. The records consist chiefly of correspondence, newspaper clippings, and Rent Advisory Board minutes, 1950-53, for the Rent Stabilization Office located in Rolla, Missouri; rulings and opinions files, correspondence, subject files, minutes, and publicity materials, 1951-53, for the Kansas City and Minneapolis Regional Wage and Salary Stabilization Offices; and ruling interpretations, reports, and minutes for the Kansas City and Minneapolis Regional Offices of Price Stabilization.
U.S. Grant; several items created by the Confederate States of America, including a letter from J.E.B. Stuart, printed Confederate regulations relating to the preservation of tithe cotton, the activities of produce loan agents, and a small quantity of Confederate currency; and a copy of Lincoln's 1863 Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction.
The Dukes County Historical Society, Edgartown, Massachusetts, has donated federal records relating to Fort Sill, Indian Territory, 1867-70, and to Freedmen's Bureau activities in Northern Virginia. These records were discovered in a house on Martha's Vineyard and were formerly in the custody of Colonel Samuel P. Less, who was on active duty in the army during the period covered by the records. The records have been accessioned by the Old Military Branch.
The Legislative, Judicial, and Fiscal Branch has accessioned the records of the National Commission on Consumer Finance, 1970-72. The commission was established by the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968 to study the functioning and structure of the consumer credit system in the United States and to report on the availability of credit at reasonable rates and the adequacy of the existing systems of credit regulation. The accession includes correspondence files of the executive director and other staff members; typed transcripts of public hearings held by the commission; minutes of commission meetings; research studies on different aspects of the U.S. credit system done by members of the commission staff and outside experts under contract; questionnaires received from banks and other lenders in response to a commission "survey of creditors' remedies"; and records relating to a major investigation of outstanding loans and rates made for the commission by the Bureau of the Census.
The Modern Military Branch has accessioned five cubic feet of Navy Department Armed Guard reports for the period 1917 to 1918. The records include reports and correspondence submitted by commanding officers of navy gun crews assigned to merchant vessels to protect them in the event of attack by German submarines or surface raiders.
The Archives Branch, Chicago Federal Records Center, has accessioned the following additions to the records of the United States Coast Guard: Marine Inspection Detachment, Chicago, original vessel log books, 1959-67, three cubic feet; Marine Inspection Office, Detroit, original office log books, 1853-1907, two volumes; and Coast Guard Base, Sault Ste. Marie, original vessel log books, 1968-70, one cubic foot.
The Archives Branch, Los Angeles Federal Records Center, has received the following addition to its Coast Guard holdings: USCG Air Station, Los Angeles, unit logs for the period January 1, 1972, to September 30, 1972, one cubic foot; and Coast
Through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Stidham, a collection of documents relating to the Civil War has been received by the Legislative, Judicial, and Fiscal Branch. These include letters signed by Andrew Johnson, William T. Sherman, and

Rather than complete it in a traditional manner, the idea is to record it live in one four-hour session, and stream the audio and video live to the world. Performing on the record will be Neil (vocals and piano) and a 12-piece string section and a vocal group. Neil will record the album as a live performance, and have it mixed as it runs.

'The Price of Glee': Investigation Discovery Docuseries Exposes the Truths Behind the Deaths of Three Main Casts
> 'The Price of Glee': Investigation Discovery Docuseries Exposes the Truths Behind the Deaths of Three Main Casts
December 09 2022 - 08:46pm
Is it a curse or coincidence that Glee lost three main casts in peculiar ways? Investigation Discovery is about to give you the answers in its docuseries The Price of Glee.
Brace yourselves, Gleeks, for shocking twisted truths that a lot was going on behind Glee's curtains beyond singing and twinkling toes.
Investigation Discovery Released the Trailer for 'The Price of Glee'
The network dropped the nostalgic documentary series trailer a day ago, on December 8 2022, focusing on exclusive interviews with victim families, friends and some of the show's crew members.
The trailer highlights, 'In May 2009, 10 young actors made their TV debut on Glee. By 2020, all of them would be famous. And three of them would be dead.' Namely: Cory Monteith, Mark Salling and Naya Rivera.
The interviews also detail Monteith's journey to superstardom and the demons that eventually crippled him, causing his unforeseen death.
Apart from the chilling deaths of the Glee trio, The Price of Glee highlights the effect of the hit teen drama series on pop culture and TV, and the controversies of the cast on and off the screen.
We'll get to see Salling's fallout with co-stars after surprising revelations of child pornography possession allegations in 2015, for which he pleaded guilty in 2017.
Rivera's father, George Rivera, will also be captured as he pays tribute to his daughter and reminiscences her life as a young actress.
How Did the 'Glee' Stars Die?
Cory Monteith, one of Glee's oldest main cast, died on July 13 2013, from a heroin overdose. His body was found in a hotel in British Columbia. The Canadian actor was the only one to die while the series was still airing, during which he was dealing with drug issues leading to his rehabilitation months before his sad demise.
Mark Salling committed suicide five years later at 35 on January 30 2018, before his sentencing hearing on March 7.
Naya Rivera later drowned on July 8 2020, at 33, while on a boat trip with her 5-year-old son at a lake in Southern California.
'Glee' Main Casts
Glee was helmed by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan and aired for six seasons from 2009 to 2015 on Fox.
The musical series catapulted unknown young faces to stardom, including Lea Michelle, Kevin McHale, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr., Jenna Ushkowitz, Dianna Agron, Chord Overstreet, Heather Morris, Jonathan Groff and Grant Gustin.
'The Price of Glee' Premiere Date
Though Glee went off the air several years ago, its controversies and bizarre deaths are still being discussed to date. Hopefully, The Price of Glee will unveil some mysteries.
The three-part docuseries premieres on Monday, January 16 2023 on ID and discovery+.

The first illustrated survey of significant contemporary African American art
Battleground is the first illustrated history of contemporary African American art. The volume offers an in-depth examination of twenty-five Black artists, discussing their artworks, practices, and philosophies, as expressed in their own words. Celeste-Marie Bernier has done extensive archival work in sources that have not been studied before, and her research provides a foundation for an intellectual and cultural history of contemporary African American artists and art movements from 1990 to the present. The wealth of quoted material—published interviews, artist statements, and autobiographical essays—should inform and inspire additional research in the years to come.
Battleground examines the paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installation, digital, and performance art produced by twenty-five Black artists living and working in the United States over the last three decades. The artists studied in this book include Emma Amos, Radcliffe Bailey, Mary Lee Bendolph, Chakaia Booker, Beverly Buchanan, Willie Cole, Leonardo Drew, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, Myra Greene, Lyle Ashton Harris, Ronald Lockett, Whitfield Lovell, Kerry James Marshall, Lorraine O'Grady, Jefferson Pinder, Debra Priestly, Winfred Rembert, Nellie Mae Rowe, Alison Saar, Dread Scott, Clarissa T. Sligh, LaShawnda Crowe Storm, Mickalene Thomas, Nari Ward, and Pat Ward Williams.
Battleground feels like a gift. The book's central questions are ripe for this moment and Celeste-Marie Bernier does an extraordinary job of telling the story of Black art and Black life as interwoven parts of the broader struggle for liberation.
—Cassandra Jackson, author of Violence, Visual Culture, and the Black Male Body
At every turn, Bernier provides absorbing narratives. . . . Battleground presents itself as a remarkable blueprint for scholars of all backgrounds in regard to the task of forever treating the people within their subject matter with dignity, respect, and sensitive consideration.
—Eddie Chambers, author of World is Africa: Writings on Diaspora Art
CELESTE-MARIE BERNIER is a professor of United States and Atlantic studies at the University of Edinburgh. Among her works are more than twenty published and forthcoming single and coauthored books, essay collections, and scholarly editions, including African American Visual Arts; Stick to the Skin; Suffering and Sunset; Characters of Blood; Visualising Slavery; Inside the Invisible; Pictures and Power; If I Survive; The Anna Murray and Fredrick Douglass Family Papers; and Douglass Family Lives.

The experimentally observed anomalous compositional dependence of the lattice constant of Fe-Al crystals has been theoretically investigated employing density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The formation energies, equilibrium volumes and magnetic states have been determined for a dense set of different aluminium concentrations and a large variety of atomic configurations. The spin-polarized calculations for Fe-rich compounds reproduce very well the anomalous lattice-constant behavior in contrast to both the nonmagnetic and fixed-spin-moment calculations that result in nearly linear trends without any anomaly. We thus identify the change in magnetism of iron atoms as caused by an increasing number of Al atoms in the first coordination spheres to be the decisive driving force of the anomalous behavior.

On Saturday, we will celebrate one year from the day Tessa walked out of the hospital after her final round of chemotherapy. My little baby bird, blowing kisses and making her way through a bubble parade toward sweet freedom. Bittersweet freedom, that is. We hauled our things to the car and headed for home, anticipating that final homecoming and the chance to get our lives back after cancer tried to take it all away. No more dated events in our family history that would be marked in sadness because of leukemia. It was the end of an era.
Some warned us about life after treatment; preparing me for the unforeseen part of this fight that can come when all is said and done. But I wrote it off. Because I thought what we needed most was to be free of treatment and back together at home as a family of five. The last twelve months of rebuilding our fragile structure, post-treatment, proved harder than I allowed myself to be aware of. At first glance, we were solid. We took care of our kids, got right back to work, bought a campsite and dreamed about what our future would be. We traveled to Disney World and sent Tessa to school for the first time. But things were different; and we had to learn to cope with the tides of leukemia, even though we successfully brought Tessa home with us. People would comment "how strong we were," assuming that our lives had slid perfectly back into place. Eventually my confidence in the words of others faded. Instead of saying thank you, I would smile to save what little face I could bare. Just because it was over did not ever mean than it was really over. There were scars, not visible to onlookers, but present to us. Life moved on without addressing the damage, but knowing full well that it is there. That was then.
Relax. What I know now is that all of this was and is normal. Totally and weirdly normal. The kind that is okay, but not okay at the same time. It is a process, much like the various components of our life. We have to navigate every stage, even the most undesirable. I am grateful for time that has allowed healing over the last year. We learned how to love in ways that made us reevaluate the past, present and future. We did it. All five of us. We carried Tessa through the unimaginable.
Families who endure life with disease or sickness often face more than the medical struggles the come along with it, often feeling they cannot talk about the various stages of healing that follow such events. I personally know that I cannot possibly expect to forget the hardships that pushed my family close to the edge, often stretching us as thin as possible. I do not wish to forget it all either. Because I am still learning how to deal; how to grow from each moment that knocked us down. From each of those times came opportunities to stand. That was the difference between getting by and getting ahead. And it still is.
It has been a long year. We have come so far from our extended days and nights spent in the hospital and the cancer lifestyle. I never experienced raw humility until I had to beg for mercy on my child every single night to heal her…to save her. That shifted me. Even now when I am lost or frustrated or confused, I recall the moments that brought me to my knees. When I am joyful or excited, I do the same.
We can never fully prepare for the unexpected. Trust me, I have tried. I am relieved to have let that part of me go. (My husband would most definitely agree.) Replacing fear with hope and finding the silver lining in every situation has been my saving grace. I cannot wait to see how we change month after month into the following years, using our personal experiences for growth in the future.
It is early in the week, and I am already quite sentimental. I remember the day the doctor told us that we could take Tess home. "Are you freaking kidding me," I cried to her doctor followed by an obscene amount of tears. Dan picked up his phone and before he could even say hello, I screamed that she could go home. He arrived an hour later with twenty celebratory McNuggets, french fries and ice cream. Because Tessa's dad knows the way to her heart.
Thank you all for being on this journey with us. For each and every person near and far…thank you for letting me be honest and real. Most importantly, thank you for letting us feel love and for showing us how to give love back. On Saturday I will share Tessa's letter for March. World Down Syndrome Day and her one year anniversary from hospital freedom. It will be a whopper and I can't wait!
Hi Becky. I really enjoyed this addition to your journal, as I have all of them. The last paragraph brought out the tears, which has happened many times in the past, as well. I remember feeling all of the things you talk about in this letter, as our dear little Lucy went through those same things…and all of us with her. You are such a good Mom, and I know you serve as a model for many other parents, grandparents, siblings, and all of the other relatives, when it comes to handling the bad, as well as the good, which can be difficult to do. I wish all the best going forward, for Tessa and all of you.
This post feels like you wrote it just for me. This is such a strange new territory. I really FEEL where you are. I have never felt prouder or closer to you than now, after reading this.

16-18 September 2019 Narratives of Forced Migration in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
University of Stirling,Scotland 16-18 September 2019.
Confirmed Keynotes:
Professor Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University)
Professor Lyndsey Stonebridge (University of Birmingham)
The last century has seen millions of people displaced around the world as the result of war, persecution, or the end of empire. The current 'migrant' or 'border crisis' in the Mediterranean triggered by the war in Syria, uneven development in the Global South, and climate change is the most recent example of a succession of instances of forced mass migration. Within this long history of forced migration across continents and within Europe, we can also include the German Vertriebene, the French pieds-noirs, the Portuguese retornados, and forced migrants from the former Yugoslavia. These population movements posed acute political and social challenges to the receiving states, since they often embodied liminal positions being both citizens of receiving nation states and yet members of culturally distinct groups. These challenges often result in trauma for the individuals and families who experience them. In the longer term, migrants and receiving societies face the challenges of cultural integration, in which ethnicity, colonial ties and the associated legal status may, paradoxically, both facilitate acceptance and create barriers to it. The large number of forced migrants involved has implications for nationhood and identity on a supranational scale, leading to the production of new forms of cultural memory and political formulations in the present.
This conference seeks to bring together and create a dialogue among scholars working on diverse geographical and historical instances of forced migration from a range of disciplinary perspectives in order to illuminate the processes of movement, integration and commemoration which characterise them. The primary focus of the conference will be forced migrations that have highlighted and/or called into question the internal and external borders of Europe, although comparative case studies from beyond Europe are welcome. Above all, it seeks to assess the 'connectedness' of disparate cases of forced migrations and to consider the influence and impact of specific events on subsequent migrations and those groups involved in them. It builds on the historical and ethnographical work of scholars such as Andrea L. Smith (Europe's Invisible Migrants, 2003) and Manuel Borutta and Jan Jansen (Vertriebene and Pieds-Noirs in Postwar Germany and France, 2016), and seeks to broaden their comparative analyses to consider other forced migrant groups, and to extend the scholarship into new disciplinary areas. The conference is interested in how narratives by and about forced migrants use imaginative means to make sense of and represent their experiences, and to construct post-migration identities through genres such as literature, film, music, photography, and documentary.
The conference committee welcome proposals across disciplines of migration studies, cultural studies, history, politics, literature, visual culture, memory studies, and other relevant scholarly fields. The scope of the conference includes but is not limited to:
Attitudes towards and reception of migrant groups
The legalities of forced migration
Impacts on nationhood and European identity
Borderscapes and biopolitics
State management of perceived 'migrant crises'
Forced migrants as political constituents and lobbying groups
Gendered experiences of forced migration
Queering migration
Exile and trauma
Nostalgia and constructions of 'home'
Cultural memory: inter-generational transmission, multidirectionality, and 'connective' narratives
Public approaches to fostering integration
(Re-)constructing community and diaspora
Attempts at return
Please send proposals of 300 words and short bios for papers lasting 20 minutes to Dr Beatrice Ivey at beatrice.ivey@stir.ac.uk by 28 February 2019. Proposals for three or four paper panels are also welcomed, as are proposals from postgraduate students and early-career researchers. The language of the conference is English.
The conference is funded by the AHRC, as part of the Leadership Fellows project, 'Narratives and representations of the French settlers of Algeria'.

Scott, Coons Introduce Bill to Strengthen Relationships between the SBA and HBCU's
WASHINGTON – This morning, U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Chris Coons (D-DE) introduced the Promoting Robust Opportunities for Minority Institutions and Strengthening Entrepreneurship (PROMISE) Act. This legislation would require the Small Business Administration to produce an annual public report detailing its relationship with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's), strengthening the relationship between the two organizations.
"Investing in our students at HBCU's is an investment that will reap dividends for everyone," said Senator Scott. "Having been a small business owner myself, I understand the challenges that many folks face when trying to pursue entrepreneurship. Whether it's the business community looking to identify the high talented workforce of tomorrow, or companies looking to provide students with technical skills and training, we all have a role to play in ensuring that our students have the resources they need to make the American Dream a possibility for all. I look forward to seeing how this legislation benefits not only our educational institutions, but our workforce in the future."
"Today, higher education is a key pathway to economic opportunity, and HBCUs play a critical role in expanding access to and the affordability of degrees. I am proud to champion this effort to ensure that the Small Business Administration actively partners with HBCUs to connect all interested students to the entrepreneurship ecosystem," said Senator Coons.
"UNCF is proud to endorse the Promoting Robust Opportunities for Minority Institutions and Strengthening Entrepreneurship (PROMISE) Act. I strongly believe that all federal agencies should work to strengthen their relationships with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and this bill serves as a good model to how these relationships should operate. It is vital that HBCUs are made aware of the opportunities available to them, able to properly engage federal agencies in creative partnerships, and able to ultimately provide an enriching experience for the students they serve due to these types of partnerships. Equally important is increased transparency amongst federal agencies and this bill hits the mark by requiring the Small Business Administration to make their strategic plan publicly available. All in all, this is a bill that I hope will move through both Chambers of Congress swiftly and land on the President's desk for signature", said Dr. Michael L. Lomax, President and CEO, UNCF (United Negro College Fund, Inc.).
"On behalf of the richly diverse community of 156 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) that are its members, the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), extends its profound appreciation to Senators Tim Scott (SC) and Chris Coons (DE) for introducing the Promoting Robust Opportunities for Minority Institutions and Strengthening Entrepreneurship Act (PROMISE Act). The Promise Act will provide the SBA with new tools to be more strategic about the manner in which it engages with HBCUs and MSIs," said Attorney Lezli Baskerville, President, NAFEO (National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education).
"The Promise Act takes significant steps to encourage the Small Business Administration (SBA) to better engage with HBCUs," said Harry L. Williams, President & CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF). "As TMCF has learned first-hand with our engagement with students in our Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Division through programs such as The Pitch and Moguls in the Making, HBCUs are a fertile ground filled with brilliant young innovators and entrepreneurs ready and eager to be tapped for their entrepreneurial skills. By better engaging with HBCUs and their students, SBA will not only help our schools and their students but also better serve the communities where these students live and ideally return to open businesses and employ their neighbors."

Whether your concerns are off-shore manufacturing facilities and overseas corporate headquarters or local office space and executive residences, we can create detailed protection plans for both your personnel and your operations. We have extensive experience evaluating regional threat reporting, location specific risks, access control systems, guard force effectiveness, and material solutions to help you make realistic risk mitigation decisions.
Physical security means making trade-offs between resources and risk. Are you putting your resources to work in the best manner possible? Making decisions about threats in unfamiliar environments can be challenging. Focusing your efforts on the popular threat of the month can distract you from the real risks that are impacting people daily in the areas you work. Compounding matters are the ever-shifting threat profiles as terrorism or organized crime encroaches on previously less impacted territory. We can help you evaluate risk and separate between that which can be eliminated or controlled and that which must be accepted to operate in the chosen region. We can provide detailed and prioritized recommendations to mitigate the risks you face, and clearly identify that which you are accepting. Protecting people, assets and operations all starts with practical, realistic security assessments.
As American influence declines globally, we see increasing attacks on travelers, journalists, embassies and overseas headquarters - people and places who generally used to enjoy the invisible security blanket of American power are now having to re-evaluate their risk mitigation strategies.

App Accessibility: Valuable for All Apps
/App Development
/App Accessibility: Valuable for/
Android, App Accessibility, App Design, App Development, Apple, Google, iOS, UI, User Experience, User Interface, UX
App accessibility refers to the concept of building an app in such a way that it is usable by people with the widest possible range of abilities, including those who are living with disabilities. While the ADA's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 standards do not specifically address mobile apps, we think app accessibility is the right thing to do on many levels. Even from a pragmatic perspective, one billion people, or 15% of the world's population, experience some form of disability, so overlooking app accessibility reduces your potential user base significantly.
What Makes an App Accessible?
The first step in making an app accessible for everyone is a clean, intuitive design that can be easily navigated by users of different abilities. If your interface isn't easy to use by those who have no impairments, it will be even more of a struggle for those who do. But simply being good at UX/UI isn't enough. It's critical that you are consciously designing for relevant types of disabilities – your user profiles ought to take this into account. There are a wide range of potential impairments to consider (e.g. visual, hearing, cognitive or movement limitations), and each will differently affect the way users interact with an app.
For example, visual impairments, ranging from color blindness to low visual acuity and blindness, affect the way users perceive an app's color scheme, font size, and contrast settings, making it difficult for users to see what the app is displaying. The ability to change the display settings or navigate the app using text-to-speech technology will enable visually-impaired users who would not otherwise be able to interact with the app.
Similarly, hearing-impaired users need alternatives to audio-only features. Subtitles for videos, increased volume, and the ability to mute ambient sound are features that help hearing-impaired users interact with an app.
Movement impairments may increase the difficulty users experience when interacting with small touch targets. Increasing the size of touch targets allows tolerance for error and reduces frustration for many users. Alternately, instead of battling the touch screen, some users chose to navigate the app using voice commands. Such users benefit from explicit labeling conventions for user inputs and an intuitive layout in order to easily command their way through the app.
In addition to the design features, clear instructions users can read, watch, or listen to will broaden an app's reach and allow users to engage in a way that is most useful for them.
What Does Accessibility Look Like in Practice?
App accessibility in practice is pretty inspiring, and advances in technology are rapidly enabling even more to be possible. There are a number of apps that have been built to aid those with disabilities, and this round-up highlights a few of the most exciting. Equally exciting, but perhaps less common, are mainstream apps that are built with features that make the app usable by people with and without physical or cognitive limitations.
We recently improved visual accessibility for users of the Empath app, an app built to enable people to share their feelings in a safe environment. Empath features a feed where users post and read updates about how others are doing. The initial build of the app was not dynamic, and all users were forced to read the smaller fonts typically displayed. To broaden app accessibility, we implemented Apple's Dynamic Type in critical parts of the app. Dynamic Type allows users to indicate their preferred reading size (within a range). Apps that support Dynamic Type then adjust to the preferred reading size automatically. People with disabilities and those who require larger print as they age benefit from this feature.
Adding Dynamic Type was not simply a developer effort, but also a design one – our designers had to consider ways in which other elements on the screen would dynamically change so that the app looked beautiful and functioned well, regardless of what size type was employed.
Facebook is also leading the way on incorporating and developing accessibility features. They have numerous initiatives, including one around object detection and identification in images. This fairly complicated multi-stage process uses machine vision systems and deep convolutional neural networks to detect, delineate, and classify items within a photo. The collection of images below shows the output of their object detection system, where a variety of salient objects within different images have been identified and labeled:
When this initiative comes to fruition, it will have a number of applications, including some for those who are visually impaired. As noted in their post on the subject, "People with vision loss, too, will be able to understand what is in a photo their friends share because the system will be able to tell them, regardless of the caption posted alongside the image… Currently, visually impaired users browsing photos on Facebook only hear the name of the person who shared the photo, followed by the term "photo," when they come upon an image in their News Feed. Instead we aim to offer richer descriptions, such as 'Photo contains beach, trees, and three smiling people.'"
What Resources Exist to Develop for App Accessibility?
We strongly encourage clients to build accessible apps, and work hard to make sure doing so is affordable. There are thankfully a number of resources now available to support implementation. On the web, the Web Accessibility Initiative "brings together individuals and organizations from around the world to develop strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the Web accessible to people with disabilities."
Both iOS and Android also offer complete accessibility guidelines, as well as several phone based features for mobile developers to employ. Some highlights:
Apple's VoiceOver. Developers can integrate VoiceOver in an app to change the way taps and swipes are interpreted by the system to augment usability for those who cannot see.
The Accessibility Inspector for iOS, which runs through the app to find common accessibility issues and provides a live preview of all accessibility elements within the app.
Apple's Dynamic Type. As noted above, it allows users to specify their preferred font size for apps that support Dynamic Type. In the latest version of their OS, iOS 11, Apple makes it possible for developers to support this feature even if custom fonts are being employed.
Google's TalkBack is a built-in screen reader for Android devices. When TalkBack is on, users can interact with their device without seeing the screen.
Switch Access from Google lets motor-impaired users interact with Android devices using a switch (like an external keyboard or buttons) instead of the touch screen.
There are quite a few features beyond these that can be leveraged to make an app accessible, and we expect more will follow. While we have focused on how these features can benefit those with disabilities, many benefit all users. The ability to navigate an app using voice commands is useful for a user with their hands full. Watching a video with subtitles is a perfect alternative when people are somewhere they can't play audio, and large touch targets are just easier for everyone. The more people who can easily access, navigate, and engage with an app, the more successful it will be.

New Twists on Your Favorite TV-Themed Halloween Costumes
With Halloween 2016 just around the corner, it's time to find a costume that's most relevant to what's going on right now. If you're looking for a TV show-themed costume, BuddyTV is here to help you.
Each year, we see plenty of Khaleesi's from Game of Thrones or Rick from The Walking Dead. While some of these costumes may be played out, their shows are just as hot as ever. Let us help you take some of those old costume and give them a new twist for what's going on in their respective shows.
Blind Arya Stark, Game of Thrones
If you want to go Game of Thrones this year, you can't do much better than the youngest daughter of the Stark clan. This girl had a seriously "killer" year in season 6. Her most recognizable look from the season would have to be the blind homeless version of Arya we saw towards the beginning of the season. Though it didn't last too long, it's definitely a look GoT fans will recognize.
How do you do it? Simple. Find a large burlap potato sack and cut a hole in the bottom. Put that over your body. If you want, find a scarf that matches to go around your neck. Next, make your hair stray in different directions. You'll want to carry around a pole like the one she would use when The Waif came to fight her. Lastly, get some white color contacts so it looks like you have no pupils. This is the most important part.
New Lucifer, Supernatural
With the tragic departure of Mark Pellegrino's Lucifer comes an exciting new Lucifer to the Supernatural world for season 12. With him, comes an all new look. The rocker has a pretty signature look, with long black hair, thick eyeliner and a black leather jacket. An easy look to pull off, and a little more stand-out than the old Lucifer's jeans and a t-shirt.
Quiz: Which Spooky TV Town Should You Trick-or-Treat In This Halloween?>>>
Wally West/Kid Flash, The Flash
The Flash is old news. This year, go for his counterpart, Wally West, aka Kid Flash. In a brighter, more … flashy … costume, this look is much newer and definitely more original. You're likely to run into someone dressed as The Flash on Halloween, but less likely to see someone as Kid Flash. For a great how-to on putting this costume together, check out this tutorial below:
Negan, The Walking Dead
Negan's arrival on TWD was one of the most horrifying moments of last season. With so much hype and speculation being built around who he viciously beat with his bat in that POV shot, why not keep the conversation going by dressing up as him? If you're thinking about a Walking Dead costume this year, this is the one to do.
Just slick your hair back and put on a fake mustache. For wardrobe, you'll need a zipped-up black leather jacket, a red scarf and one black leather glove. Now, the prop is the most vital piece to this costume. Negan's known for his wooden baseball bat wrapped in barbwire. If you (understandably) don't want to mess with barbwire, try an easy and safe alternative like twisted-together pipe cleaners or shoelaces. To make it even more unique, you could even add some fake blood to the bat, given what we saw in the season 6 finale.
Dead Archer Dunhill, Pretty Little Liars
We've seen the Red Coat costumes before, and they're classic PLL. It doesn't get more recognizable than that. But given the horrific scene we got to see in season 7a, why not go for something a little more shocking like Archer Dunhill right when he died? If you remember, he was hit by Hanna's car and his face when smashing through the windshield.
To pull off a costume like this, you need someone with serious blood and gore makeup skills for your face, as well as a fake cracked windshield you can wrap around your head. To make this, you could create a windshield frame out of pipe cleaners or something equally light (but sturdy). For the glass, just wrap the frame with layers of crushed saran wrap, which can create the appearance of shattered glass. Attach this to a headband so that when it's on your head, it looks like your face came through the windshield. This is a tricky look to pull off, but if you can, it's definitely one that will get your Halloween party guests talking.

Emoluments Clause Case Against Trump Dismissed
Tristan Justice
A lawsuit alleging that President Donald Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prohibits one holding office from receiving gifts, titles, or benefits from foreign powers, was dismissed on Wednesday.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously dropped the suit filed by Maryland and the District of Columbia, ruling that there was no legal standing for the plaintiffs to sue the president.
The ruling is considered a major victory for the president, who has consistently fought against allowing others to review his private finances. The president reacted quickly to the news on Twitter.
"Word just out that I won a big part of the Deep State and Democrat induced Witch Hunt," the president tweeted Wednesday morning. "Unanimous decision in my favor from The United States Court of Appeals For The Fourth Circuit on the ridiculous Emoluments Case. I don't make money, but lose a fortune for the honor of serving and doing a great job as your President (including accepting Zero salary!)."
Jay Sekulow, one of the president's attorneys, also issued a statement in response to the decision.

Q: Customized UINavigationBar DISCLAIMER: I'm likely the wrong person to ask this, as I am only a designer in this scenario and know precisely jack about iOS development.
DISCLAIMER OF DISCLAIMER: I am however a proficient PHP and JS programmer, so the art/sense of development is not completely lost on me.
Now, the design we're trying to reproduce calls for a header bar. Currently it's a UINavigationBar. However, that element apparently doesn't allow for sufficient customization.

*

*The bar should have a height of 110 pixels (Retina).

*It should not have a gloss, a border or a visible background; the entire screen should have the same static unmoving background (image).

*The bar should only have a drop shadow (which is also an image, any internal drop shadow effect will not suffice) when the content below it has been scrolled. In other words, the drop shadow image is an indicator that "some content is up here". If I remember correctly from my Galaxy days, such behavior is familiar to Android users.

I've attached a part of the design mockup here;

What is the path of least resistance to achieve this effect (with the native UINavigationBar if possible, but no sweat if not)?

A: Simplest way to achieve this would be adding a class which inherits UINavigationBar and implement the drawRect method to draw the navigation bar  image with shadow  in the context.
@interface MynavBar:UINavigationBar
@end

@implementation MynavBar

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
 UIImage *navBarImg=[UIImage imageNamed:@"navBar.png"];
[navBarImg drawRect:rect];
[super drawRect:rect];
}
@end

Use this class as the class name for your navigation bar in the IB.

A: Well,in your case, i think it's not possible to use UINavigationBar. Because, default navigationBar height is read-only so, you cannot change it programmatically. Once, i tried to make bigger navigation bar, but it doesn't really work, because you cannot control default back button location if you need it. If you don't need to navigation bar, i think you should use a custom view with background image, so you can set its frame whatever you want.

Community Partnership honors Lavoie, Pelkey
By Michelle Monroe Messenger Staff
ST. ALBANS — The two winners of the 2019 John W. Engroff Legacy Award are familiar faces in the Franklin County community.
Mary Pelkey retired this year after more than 30 years in social services, including running the Foster Grandparents and Bone Builders programs locally.
Kathy Lavoie is currently at the Franklin-Grand Isle Restorative Justice Center after several years with the Workforce Reinvestment Board. She's also served as the President of Franklin-Grand Isle United Way and on boards too numerous to count, including currently serving on the Vermont Board of Education. In addition, she served as member of the Vermont House of Representatives for Swanton and Sheldon.
Wesley Kempton nominated Lavoie for the award. During the Franklin-Grand Isle Community Partnership Meeting on Wednesday he shared his nomination, stating, "Kathy Lavoie is a force of positivity and productivity within Northwestern Vermont."
He described Lavoie as "always selflessly working toward the betterment of this community."
"I'm so humbled," Lavoie said after receiving the award. "In this room are people of amazing character, amazing commitment." She praised the work the region's human service and non-profit agencies do together, saying, "We're effective, we're efficient and we're committed."
She said she was continually amazed at the willingness of those involved to "do one more thing."
Heather Newcomb nominated Mary Pelkey, but she wasn't able to attend the meeting. Melinda White read Newcomb's nomination of Pelkey in her absence. Newcomb said that from her very first community partnership meeting "Mary Pelkey extended a hand that was warm and welcoming."
Newcomb called Pelkey a role model for peers and volunteers.
Pelkey said she was "quite amazed and shocked when I got the phone call. It was very humbling."
Pelkey added she was "fortunate to work with a huge amount of people who really care about their community." She, too, spoke of the value of the partnership, saying that if she mentioned needing space for a Bone Builders class at a partnership meeting, she would inevitably hear from someone with space.
"I may be retired but I'm not disappearing," she said.
The award was created in 2008 in honor of John Engroff who directed the partnership from 2003 to 2007. The criteria include a spirit of collaboration, a sense of humor and a commitment to the wellbeing of all community members.

HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg in Germany is seeking collaboration with Makerere University's Margaret Trowell of Industrial and Fine Art (MTSIFA). A team comprised of Prof. Ingo Ferdinand Offermanns, the Vice President and Professor of Graphic Art and Mr. Eik Pockrandt, Head International Office are on a three – day working visit to Makerere University to explore student exchange opportunities between the two Universities.
The duo on 20th July 2022 met with the management team of the University and had deliberations aimed at finding the best ways possible to materialize the proposal of teaming up with Makerere University.
The Vice Chancellor Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe welcomed the team and informed them that that the University was open to partnerships and collaborations in line with its policy of Internationalization. He said as one of the oldest Universities on the continent, Makerere was harnessing the achievements realized overtime through celebrating one hundred years of existence and was therefore open to new ideas and opportunities for both staff and students.
The VC, flanked by The Deputy Principal CEDAT, Dr. Venny Nakazibwe
He said the 100 years of service to humanity was a land mark worth celebrating because the University had made great contributions to the Human Resource and other forms of development in the region and globally over time.
Prof. Nawangwe informed the visiting team that the Makerere's Margaret Trowell School of Fine Art was also one of the oldest and finest Schools of Fine Art in Africa and that over time, it had moved away from the traditional to other forms of Art as dictated by the changing tends and needs in the economy.
He noted that with the ever increasing realization of people of varied backgrounds living together more than ever before, there was need for partnerships and collaboration and expressed the University's willingness to work closely with HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg in furthering its objectives. He said Makerere University encourages collaboration and that one of its strategies was to promote Internationalization which he said, begins with working with other Universities. He explained that Makerere was one of the most collaborated Universities in the world and was also on top in as far as conducting research with other universities was concerned. 'We are eager to receive new collaboration to help us drive the strategy of Internationalization in the exchange of knowledge and culture and we welcome you with open hands' said the Vice Chancellor.
The visiting team from HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg led by the Deputy Principal CEDAT, Dr. Venny Nakazibwe and the Dean of the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Art Dr. Kizito Maria Kasule also met the Deputy Principal Finance and Administration Prof. Henry Alinaitwe.
Meeting with the DVC F& A
The DVC F&A said Makerere University was proud to have a number of collaborations that included GIZ, SIDA, NORHED, DAAD, USAID and many more, through which relations a lot had be achieved, and welcomed the idea of the HFBK Hamburg University working with the School of Fine Art.
Prof. Alinaitwe informed the team that Makerere as a University was in a celebratory mood with a number of activities lined up including the recognition of persons that had impacted the university in various ways and therefore the collaboration would lead to additional achievements similar to what was getting celebrated.
In the interactions with the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs Prof. Umar Kakumba, the team was informed that Makerere had been consistent in the University rankings and that this was partly attributed to the International partnerships, the joint research and collaborations such as the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA), and the World Wide Universities Network (WUN), which forums help connect the University widely.
Deputy Principal CEDAT let the team to meet the DVC AA
The Vice President of HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg Prof. Ingo Ferdinand Offermanns explained that the focus of their University was Fine Art. He said this was an International Fine Art School attracting students from all over the world and that their intension was to partner with outstanding Fine Art School all worldwide and hence their visit to Makerere University.
He explained that HFBK University of Fine Arts Hamburg was 250 years old, but a small entity specialized in fine Art traditional to Germany. He said their mission was to engage and get more African students to their University in their quest for partnerships and cultural exchange. 'Europeans have to go out and learn for others. Africans and Chinese have some knowledge about Europe and there was need for Europe to know more about others' he noted.
While explaining their intention of having a student exchange program, the team said the idea was to bring together students to live and work together for a semester after which period, the student credit would be transferred to their mother University. He said the students would stay in Germany for a semester, fully covered in terms of accommodation and tuition.
During a meeting with the academic Board at the Margaret Trowell School of Fine Art (MTSIFA), the Dean Dr. Kizito Maria Kasule introduced the team to the staff and the programs offered. He said MTSIFA was one of the first Schools to be set up at Makerere University way back in 1935. He explained the programs running as well as those to be introduced such as the Masters programs by the respective departments. He said Art students were benefiting from other mainstreamed programs like gender and entrepreneurship which was helping the students learn other skills like business given that Art had become a commodity and the need to help artist survive in the competitive economy. He further explained that there were already a number of collaborations on going in the School and that all staff were widely published and were therefore ready to partner with the German University.
The visiting team took a guided tour of the Muteesa II Royal Museum and the University Library where they were able to see various sections like the Book Bank, the Digitization section, the technical Services section, Africana, the International Development Agency area, the mothers space and that of persons with disabilities among others. Also of interest was the art pieces in the library notably the War Victim by Prof. Nnaggenda, made in remembrance of the lives lost in war and the resilience of the human spirit donated by Rockefeller Foundation to the Library.
The War Victim Art Piece in the Library
During their stay at Makerere University, the visiting team will participate in the pedagogical engagements at the School of Fine Art to get a feel of how the teaching and learning is conducted and will also visit other Art Galleries in Kampala.

At that point, García is involved in an extremely productive inner dialogue.
One of García's great strenghts is color. He deserves a lot of attention for his manipulation of color. Color holds his drawing together and helps express inner feelings of the artist at the same time.
