CRYPTOCURRENCY SECURITIES AND FINANCIAL FRAUD
By Anne Wallace
Since the middle of 2018, cryptocurrency lawsuits alleging various forms of financial fraud have become increasingly common. In some ways, the story is familiar -- the price went up suddenly at the beginning of 2018, and then it crashed through the proverbial floor. The lawsuits followed.
In other ways, the story is new and confusing. What are Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, Ripple and other forms of cryptocurrency? Are they money? Are they like securities, debt instruments, game tokens or memberships? What law governs them? The courts are still sorting through these important questions. One thing is clear. There will be more lawsuits.

Cryptocurrency Lawsuits
In its Securities Litigation Report of 2018 , the legal analytics firm Lex Machina found 45 cryptocurrency lawsuits filed during the first half of 2018, up from 15 in 2017. It's still not a flood of lawsuits, but it's a huge increase.
In U.S. v. Zaslavskiy , defendant Maksim Zaslavskiy founded two companies called REcoin Group Foundation, LLC (REcoin) and DRC World, Inc. (Diamond). From January 2017 to October 2017, REcoin and Diamond engaged in initial coin offerings (ICOs) through which investors purchased cryptocurrency tokens issued by the companies. In its criminal indictment, the government alleged that, contrary to Zaslavskiy's representations, the ICOs were not backed by real estate investments and diamonds. As a result, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York brought criminal charges against Zaslavskiy for securities fraud in connection with the ICOs.
As of this writing, the lawsuit has survived a motion to dismiss. The court has refused to rule, except perhaps by implication, that the tokens at issue qualify as securities, rather than, as claimed by the defendant, mere evidence of "membership" in an investment scheme. A definitive ruling on the all-important securities law question will happen at a later date.
In Miller v. Longfin and Wei v. Longfin , two sets of investors sued Longfin Corp., a global cryptocurrency company, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the federal Securities Exchange Act.
The investors allege that Longfin misrepresented the location of its primary offices and the identity of key employees in its public statements; had numerous material weaknesses in its operations and internal financial reporting controls; and was ineligible for inclusion in certain stock indices. The investors claim that when this information was made public, Longfin's stock value declined more than 86 percent in two weeks. The investors are attempting to recover damages associated with the decline in stock value.
In Brola v. Nano , investors filed a class action lawsuit against a block chain developer and cryptocurrency issuer, alleging that it engaged in an unregistered offering and sale of securities by issuing cryptocurrencies on BitGrail, an Italian cryptocurrency exchange, in violation of Sections 12(a) and 15(a) of the Securities Act. The complaint also alleges that Nano wrongly encouraged investors to invest assets with BitGrail, which lost $170 million worth of the cryptocurrency "XRB" due to a hack on the exchange platform. The investors ask for, among other things, rescission of their investments.
In Paige v. Bitconnect , the plaintiff, Brian Paige, alleges that the UK-based company performed no real business activity, but merely "relied on new money from new users, who were in turn expected to get more new users to produce more new money." It was a Ponzi scheme in violation of Kentucky and federal securities laws, as well as state consumer protection laws.
More securities and financial fraud lawsuits are certainly in the works.
What Laws Apply to Cryptocurrency Fraud?
That is the big question. The law usually plays catch-up to new technologies and the Bitconnect lawsuit is a good example. None of the existing laws quite fit the newest forms of cryptocurrency financial fraud. Until legislatures enact laws specific to cryptocurrencies, savvy lawyers will look for every option under common law, as well as existing state and federal consumer and securities statutes.

TLC's Controversial 'All-American Muslim' Axed After 1 Season
Posted By Jim McFarlin on Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 11:25 PM
In a victory for small-minded ultraconservatives everywhere, TLC announced it has canceled the Dearborn-based docuseries All-American Muslim after only one season.
Laurie Goldberg, spokeswoman for TLC, the network that provides America with such informative programming as Toddlers & Tiaras, DC Cupcakes and My Crazy Obsession, confirmed March 7 that the show's eight-episode run, which ended in January, would be its last.
All-American Muslim, which followed the lives of five diverse Muslim-American families in Dearborn, including the family of a Wayne County Sheriff's deputy and a prospective nightclub owner, was embroiled in controversy for much of its brief existence. One memorable episode focused on the conflicted emotions the participants felt over marking anniversaries of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
A conservative watchdog group called the Florida Family Association led the call for an advertiser boycott of the series, claiming the non-threatening nature of the show was softening America's vigilance against the threat of jihad. Although many advertisers pulled their support of the series, the retail giant Lowe's took the brunt of national criticism and consumer boycotts. Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who, with numerous celebrities as well as Christian and Muslim groups rallied in support of the program, offered to buy up the commercial time that Lowe's had abandoned.
Ultimately, however, it was ratings that killed All-American Muslim. Despite the attention-getting controversy surrounding it, the series opened to nearly 1.7 million viewers in its premiere episode but had lost half that audience – about 900,000 viewers – by its first-season finale.

Woodseer is a technology firm that provides more accurate dividend forecast data and analytics to financial professionals around the world.
Woodseer is a technology firm that provides more accurate dividend forecast data and analytics to financial professionals around the world. The company focuses on scale and automation to offer expanding coverage on 7,900+ companies (to date) by combining algorithmic calculations with input from a London-based analyst team to ensure every new forecast increases long term accuracy.
The product information and content statistics contained in this document are as of June 2018.
The Woodseer Dividend Forecast DataFeed covers a global universe of over 7,900 companies that span developed and emerging markets. The universe is inclusive of firms with active dividends and those monitored for future changes with dividend date and amount forecasts available beginning in January 2017. Forecasts cover a forward looking 24 months. Figure 1 highlights the yearly company forecast coverage by region, top 10 countries, and RBICS sector.
In addition to dividend forecasts, detailed historical payments, dates, and disbursements are provided starting from January 2012. Included in the feed are the associated exchange rates, shares, amounts, and currencies for each payment.
Figure 2 shows the yearly company coverage for declared dividends by region.
The key advantage of Woodseer's "algorithm plus analyst" approach is accuracy. By incorporating its analysts' market research into the algorithmic feedback loop, each forecast strengthens and refines the next.
The general perception is that once a dividend is initiated it is difficult for a firm to modify payments. Woodseer's universe, however, tells a different story. Figure 3 showcases that on average fewer than 20% of dividends have remained stable since 2012. Dividend variability translates into an advantage for funds specializing in a dividend capture strategy, equity option valuations, and endless other applications if they can incorporate a more accurate forecast.
Utilizing the date time stamped records for each forecast made starting in January 2017, Woodseer's accuracy can be tracked over time. Figure 4 examines accuracy through time by evaluating forecasts relative to the number of days prior to the dividend declaration date. While only at the mid-point of 2018, a clear increase in accuracy can be seen. The 120, 60, and zero days prior date groups exhibit an uptick in forecasts that are exactly right from 34% to 41%, 36% to 49%, and 38% to 47% respectively. While a larger sample size would be required to ensure statistical significance, there is a clear trend of increasing accuracy.
Understanding dividend changes, omissions, and initiations are crucial for all types of financial professionals. Fundamental analysts can augment existing research to predict future dividend dates and amounts. Discretionary managers can leverage forecasts to identify anomalies between companies in any given sector. Portfolio managers can leverage forecasts as a timing tool for trades. Quantitative investors can develop or augment existing alpha factors. In all cases, accuracy matters. To better assess Woodseer's data, it can be compared to the Wall Street consensus estimates provided by FactSet Estimates.
Figure 5 shows the "win" percentage of Woodseer vs. the Street. The winner here is defined by the estimate proximity to the actual reported value. For each quarter, Woodseer's forecasts are closer to the actual reported amount.
Figure 6 examines the percentage of forecasts with a zero surprise. In other words, these forecasts are spot-on. For this comparison, only companies covered by both FactSet Estimates and Woodseer were included. It is important to note that a company can be covered by FactSet Estimates but analysts may not provide an estimate for dividends.
In comparing the two sources, it is apparent that they are complementary. In aggregate, each quarter resulted in at least 50% of estimates being spot-on and over 90% of estimates being within 10%. Woodseer's forecasts where spot-on for about 50% of forecasts each quarter with 20-30% not having an accompanying Street forecast. In cases where each source provided a forecast, there are between 5-12% of estimates where only one source resulted in a zero surprise.
While future research will focus on how these two sources can be blended and applied within a single strategy, high level analysis demonstrates Woodseer's Dividend Forecast DataFeed's overall accuracy.

MPN Awareness Day
About MPN Awareness Day
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the natural cycles of sleeping and waking. It is characterized by excessive sleepiness during the day. This rare disease affects 2–5 out of every 10,000 people (1). No cure of the disease is currently possible. Therefore the treatment concentrates on relieving the symptoms as far as possible.
Narcolepsy during Pregnancy and Lactation
Narcolepsy in Children
Orexin is a natural hormone produced in our brain that helps us to stay awake (2-4). In most people with narcolepsy, the small region of their brain where orexin is produced is not working properly. Certain cells in this area are irreversibly damaged by an autoimmune process – that is, the patient's own immune system has attacked the cells in this brain region. The probability of this type of autoimmune reaction is partly inherited. Among people who have a genetic disposition towards this autoimmune condition, the risk of developing the disease may be increased by infections or by the vaccination against swine flu (5).
Changed sleep cycles
Healthy people sleep in cycles of about 90 minutes each. A normal sleep cycle includes phases with stable and deep sleep, followed by a phase with rapid eye movement (REM). In the REM phase, the person's eyes move around quickly while their eyelids are closed, and this is the phase in which we have most of our dreams (6).
In people with narcolepsy, the sleep cycles are disturbed. Instead of spending time in the "non-REM" phases of stable and deep sleep, patients go into REM phase shortly after falling asleep (7).
The classic symptoms of narcolepsy include abnormal sleepiness during the day, disturbed sleep at night, hallucinations, sleep paralysis and cataplexy. The intensity of the symptoms can be very different from one patient to another, and some symptoms (e.g. cataplexy) may be completely absent (8).
Excessive sleepiness during daytime
The sleepiness during daytime is the central symptom of narcolepsy. Patients often describe it as irresistible and uncontrollable. They feel tired and lethargic during the day and may fall asleep suddenly. These naps are often very short, and the patients feel refreshed and more alert afterwards (7,9).
One consequence of daytime sleepiness may be 'automatic behaviours' in which patients continue activities being half-asleep - these actions may be executed with errors or purposeless (7).
Disturbed sleep at night
A less well-known but common symptom of narcolepsy is disturbed sleep at night, in which patients wake up frequently (9).
Sleep-related hallucinations
Narcolepsy patients often suffer from intense hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. These can include seeing, hearing or touching things that don't exist in reality but are often experienced as highly realistic. The hallucinations are mainly perceived as threatening or unpleasant (7).
In healthy people sleep paralysis, which is the total inability to move, is normal during sleep and prevents them moving around while dreaming. Patients with narcolepsy, in contrast, often suffer from sleep paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep and they may consciously experience being paralysed. This could last from a few seconds to some minutes and can be a very frightening experience (7).
Cataplexy is the term for a brief temporary loss of muscles tonus. It ranges from mild cases, in which for example the facial muscles go limp, to severe forms, where a patient loses the strength to stay upright and drops. Episodes of cataplexy can be triggered by emotions such as laughing, anger or surprise and usually last only a few seconds (10).

As the symptoms of narcolepsy frequently start in early adulthood, it is quite important to know how to deal with narcolepsy during pregnancy. Just a handful of studies have addressed the impact of narcolepsy on pregnancy.
Medication during pregnancy and lactation
Narcolepsy patients who desire children or those who know they are pregnant should most definitely contact their physician. With regard to medication, the doctor and the patient should jointly assess the risk-benefit ratio in order to decide what medications should be continued as usual, reduced in terms of dose, or discontinued altogether.
The large majority of doctors advise women who desire children, are pregnant or breastfeeding, to discontinue the drugs they take for treating the symptoms of narcolepsy (1).
One of the properties of drugs given for the treatment of narcolepsy is that they permeate the placenta. In other words, the unborn child also undergoes the treatment, so to speak. Likewise, the active substance of commonly used drugs for narcolepsy is passed on to the newborn infant through breast milk. (1)
Potential complications during pregnancy
In rare cases, a narcolepsy patient may experience cataplexy during labour (2) and this can influence the process of delivery.
The data of a recently published study show that gestational diabetes occurs more frequently in patients with narcolepsy and cataplexy than in healthy women; the birthweight of the newborn also appears to be higher. Induction of labour is more frequently needed in patients with narcolepsy.
Care of the Newborn
Many narcolepsy patients report that the disease affects their care of newborn infants. In the majority of patients, the care of newborns is rendered difficult by daytime sleepiness or falling asleep involuntarily while breastfeeding or feeding the infant (2).

Narcolepsy symptoms can begin at any age.
About 20 % of all patients are 10 years old or younger when they first experience the disease (1).
When children have narcolepsy, their symptoms are often interpreted wrongly, which can make the condition even more distressing for the child.
If daytime sleepiness is the main symptom, it may be difficult to reach a diagnosis, because it is hard to tell this apart from a child's normal need for sleep (2). Also, children tend to compensate for their sleepiness though hyperactivity, so that hyperactivity disorders are often diagnosed when the real problem is narcolepsy (1, 3).
Narcolepsy in children can also be mistaken for laziness, defiant behavior, epilepsy, other neurological or medical conditions or intellectual disability (2, 3). Falls caused by cataplexic events may be interpreted as clumsiness (2).
The symptoms of narcolepsy can trigger anxiety, feelings of shame and helplessness and depression in children. Especially if the child experiences a lack of understanding and judgmental attitudes from people around them, they are likely to withdraw from social interaction (2).
Excessive daytime sleepiness can also negatively affect concentration, memory and other cognitive functions, resulting in poor performance at school (2).
Behavioral problems and depression may also result, leading to impaired quality of life (3).
To prevent long-term negative psychological effects, timely diagnosis is essential.

Narcolepsy can have very negative effects on quality of life. Patients regularly experience social exclusion – due to the symptoms and their own efforts to manage them, and also to a lack of understanding of their condition by the people around them.
Narcolepsy in society
The symptoms of narcolepsy – such as daytime sleepiness and cataplexy – are unsettling for other people who observe them and are often mistakenly interpreted as signs of laziness, lack of interest, or even alcoholism or drug dependence. People with narcolepsy suffer a lot under this stigmatization. They often withdraw from social interactions, partly to avoid emotional situations that could trigger episodes of cataplexy, and partly due to embarrassment about the symptoms.
Narcolepsy in partnership and the family
Narcolepsy can also cause problems with partners and family. If sufferers try to avoid emotional situations, they may appear reserved and distant. Talking openly about the disease can improve people's understanding of the situation and restore patients' self-confidence. This is a key to maintaining as active a life as possible.
Since daytime sleepiness also causes a higher risk of accidents, narcolepsy also influences the kind of work patients can do. Some jobs are incompatible with the disease, for example driving motor vehicles, operating hazardous machinery, or working at height (for example as a roofer). Monotonous activities can increase the risk of falling asleep, and irregular working hours can make the disease worse overall.
Narcolepsy at school and at work
Narcolepsy can manifest in school age. Falling asleep in class is often interpreted wrongly, and this can be very distressing for the pupil. Undiagnosed narcolepsy can negatively affect school performance and may result in poor grades that do not accurately reflect the pupil's true abilities.
Narcolepsy and travel
People with narcolepsy can take several precautions that make travelling easier. Travelling with a trusted companion is a great help. If this is not possible, many airports and railway stations offer help in the form of support staff or wheelchairs. These can help to avoid agitation and physical exertion that could trigger cataplexy. To enable quick and correct treatment in emergencies, it is recommended to carry an emergency medical information card with you. It is also important to note that many medications prescribed for narcolepsy fall under controlled substances laws, and formalities have to be observed when travelling with them. For trips of up to 30 days in duration within the Schengen area, a note from the prescribing doctor, certified by the district medical officer, must be carried (1). For travel outside the Schengen area, the patient must check the legal situation in the country or countries they are travelling to and must take appropriate measures to comply with the rules.

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Sam McCann (R-Plainview) voted with an overwhelming majority of his colleagues from both sides of the aisle to fund Illinois schools for the full upcoming school year while keeping critical state services functioning through January.
The compromise school funding measure will provide 100% of the foundation formula for the first time in seven years while an additional hold harmless provision will make sure no school receives less money than they did in the previous year. The plan also includes a new $250 million equity grant to help the state's most struggling schools, and $75 million for early childhood education.
The stopgap budget proposal will help pay for core General Revenue Fund based state services through the end of the current year. It also contains full-year appropriations for all federal funds as well as full-year appropriations for all other state funds including capital projects, the state's road program, LIHEAP, lottery prizes and local government distributions such as the motor fuel tax.
The total for transportation programs and construction is over $13 billion and is expected to support more than 800 projects and 25,000 jobs.
The budget plan also includes $701 million for human service programs, as well as $1 billion for higher education, on top of the previously appropriated $600 million, including $141 million for community colleges and $151 million for MAP grants for low income students.

Q: How to persuade the React/MUI Theme Engine to namespace all MUI CSS rules? We've got a problem with React Apps, imported as microfrontends. A Landingpage (written in React/MUI) imports a number of Apps (written in React/MUI v4 or v5, also need to be able to run standalone, therefore they have their own themes). The problem arises that those Apps all do create their own theme and set different base rules on the Mui CSS classes (e.g. .MuiGrid-container). Switching between Apps in the Landingpage then seems to work the following way:

*

*Landingpage loads its theme.

*App 1 is loaded and loads its theme.

*App 2 is loaded and loads its own theme, overriding some rules from App 1. Not a problem, because App 1 is not visible.

*App 1 is loaded again and loads its theme ... but replaces its old theme, so the theme of App 2 is now later in the CSS rules and therefore overrides the rules from App 1.

We only have control over our own App, not over the Landingpage; and it is App 2 that is leaking into our App 1.
The obvious solution would be to namespace our theme, i.e. inserting a prefix class to each and every CSS rule emitted by our App to increase specificity and not leak into other Apps. We expected that there'd be an option to createTheme or <ThemeProvider> or something like that, but the docs did not turn up anything.
So the question now is: How do we namespace our React/MUI v5 Theme?
To be exact, our idea is that a theme that is created with:
createTheme(
  {
    palette: palette,
    components: {
      MuiGrid: {
        styleOverrides: {
          container: {
            flexWrap: "nowrap",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  }
)

and included in the App using <ThemeProvider theme={resultOfCreateTheme}> should produce a CSS rule like
.ourNamespaceElementClassName .MuiGrid-container {
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

Currently, it always produces
.MuiGrid-container {
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
}

and multiple Apps doing this may leak into each other.
Any hints about alternative approaches are also welcome, as we might've run into a XY problem here. We just don't have control over the Landingpage nor Apps 2..n, so we need to somehow "theme-proof" our own App 1.

A: We now did find a solution to our problem. Its slightly different to our first idea outlined in the question.
This solution puts a namespace/scope on all MUI CSS classes. Per default, all MUI elements have classes like:

Now we're configuring the ClassNameGenerator class (in index.tsx) and override the class name generation function:
import { unstable_ClassNameGenerator as ClassNameGenerator } from '@mui/material/className';

ClassNameGenerator.configure((componentName) => `namespaceXYZ-${componentName}`);

With that, all our elements and MUI CSS classes now have a namespace prefix:

One caveat: MUI "marker classes" (like Mui-disabled et al) do not get the prefix. But since those are styled only in conjunction with the components CSS classes, it is not a problem. It only has to be heeded when writing custom CSS with more than one class in the selector.

A: First you should create default Theme and write your style in this file, for example like cod of below.

const defaultTheme = {
    palette: {
        primary: {
            main: ...,
            light:...,
            dark:...,
        },
        secondary: {
           ...
        },
        warning: {
           ...
        },
        success: {
            ...
        },
        info: {
           ...
        },
          text: {
           ...
        },
          background: {
            ...
        },
    },
    overrides: {
        MuiBackdrop: {
          root: {
            ...
          },
        },
        MuiMenu: {
          paper: {
            ...
          },
        },
        MuiSelect: {
          icon: {
            color: "#B9B9B9",
          },
        },
        MuiListItem: {
            root: {
              "&$selected": {
                ...,
                "&:focus": {
                  backgroundColor: "#F3F5FF",
                },
              },
            },
            button: {
              "&:hover, &:focus": {
                backgroundColor: "#F3F5FF",
              },
            },
        },`enter code here`
            head: {
              ...,
            },
            body: {
             ...,
            },
        },
        PrivateSwitchBase: {
            root: {
              ...
            }
        }
    },

};

in ... you put your style like background and another style.
then you add

const themes = {
      default: createTheme({...defaultTheme}),
  };

then in index.js add

<ThemeProvider theme={Themes.default}>
    <App />
</ThemeProvider>

DIVERS DOWN: Animal Collective's Geologist and Deacon share the scuba experience with Morgan V. Lebus (Arthur No. 19/Nov. 2005)
Originally published in Arthur No. 19 (Nov. 2005), as a sidebar to Trinie Dalton's cover feature profile
Photo collage of (and by) Geologist and Deacon
DIVERS DOWN
Animal Collective's Geologist and Deacon share the scuba experience with Morgan V. Lebus
Arthur: When and where were these photos taken?
Deacon: We went diving off the east side of Marathon Key in Herman's Hole. The visibility underwater was crystal. Herman is a very large moray eel who no longer lives in his hole–he's relocated to an aquarium in Miami.
Isn't scuba diving expensive?
Deacon: The toughest part is getting certified, which costs about $500. I was lucky enough to have a dive master friend who certified me for free. The most expensive part of scuba diving is the travel. You can dive almost anywhere, but unless you're pretty gung ho about it, diving in the local quarry is less than choice. You want to go somewhere that has a a tropical vibe, with lots of reef life and clear waters. Once you're there, a full day of diving with boat and and gear rental will run less than $100.
Geologist: While this is true, if you are into cold water diving, there are some good lake spots in New England. I've never done any cold water dives because you need to buy a dry-suit.
Your most fascinating underwater find?
Deacon: It's all fascinating: scuba diving is the best drug ever. My first open water dive (off a boat, away from the shore) was in South Carolina. The visibility was low and we didn't see much more than a few barrucada and some flounder (a flat bottom feeder fish with both eyes on one side of its head). On the way up the surface I couldn't see the bottom or the surface but off in front of me about fifteen feet away was a jellyfish. A very simple translucent specimen, but I could've watched sway it for hours.
Geologist: In the Gulf of California I went diving off the coast of an island that was home to a sea lion colony. The pups had just been born and they were extremely curious. I also saw a seahorse there—they're pretty rare. My big dream though, is to see whale sharks, mantas, leafy sea dragons, and a school of hammerhead.
If you could dive anywhere on earth, where would it be?
Geologist: The arctic or antarctic. The way the light filters through the ice is supposed to be amazing. I´d also like to dive in the Andamen sea off the coast of Thailand, but further north, closer to Burma.
Deacon: I think for me it is more a matter of when. Coral is being damaged at an intense rate and a lot of marine life is gone. I imagine that diving 100 years ago would have been a dramatically different experience, regardless of where you did it.
Your deepest dive, ever?
Deacon: South Carolina at about 68 feet down.
Geologist: Deep dives are not necessarily the best because your bottom time is extremely limited. With a normal tank rig you get about 15 minutes of dive time at 90 feet before you have to to a shallower depth and decompress. However, a 30-foot dive can have amazing stuff as well and your dive can be an hour long. My deepest was just above 100. The limit was 90 feet but it was a wall dive—the sea floor was about 65 feet and it stretches out from the island and then you reach the edge and the wall drops 6,000 feet! We swam over the edge and dropped to 90 feet and viewed the wall along our side. It's an amazing feeling to look down and see nothing but darkness and try to comprehend the bottom being 6,000 feet below you.

NOT A KOOK: Trinie Dalton interviews HENRY DARGER doc filmmaker Jessica Yu (Arthur No. 15/March 2005)
Not a Kook
Filmmaker Jessica Yu explores the life and work of mysterious artist Henry Darger in an innovative new documentary.
By Trinie Dalton
In the Realms of the Unreal opens with shots of artist Henry Darger's dusty homemade books and scrappy art supplies, with actress Dakota Fanning relating how Darger sought solace in art after a childhood as an abused orphan. This bit of biography prepares audiences for Darger's own summary, narrated by actor Larry Pine, of his life work—a cryptic 15,000-page epic novel detailing a war waged over child slavery—at first illustrated onscreen by stills of Darger's startling art. But it's when one of his drawings comes to life—a girl flaps her butterfly wings and flies away—that you realize director Jessica Yu has taken biographical documentary to a new level.
Using animation constructed from Darger's artwork, Yu opens a door into Darger's hermetic world of evil, adult Glandelinians and their captive Vivian Girls—cute, Shirley Temple-ish girls who sometimes sport horns, wings, tails and penises. Lightning flashes in stormy skies, soldiers fire guns, and monsters called Blengins circle through the clouds. These nightmarish scenes, it turns out, harken directly back to Darger's own past: nuns, mean teachers, and childhood enemies from his early life reappear as Confederate army members, often slaughtered on the page as a way to recoup his mental losses. (One especially cruel bully morphs into General John Manley, head of the opposing regime.)
Henry Darger grew up in asylums for feeble-minded children, and spent his adult years as a recluse. A self-taught artist who made a living as a janitor, he lived in a small apartment in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago, secretly recording the war between the Glandelinians and Vivian Girls, down to the last casualties and debts accrued. Incredibly, no one knew of his prodigious artistic talents until his landlords discovered Darger's work upon his death in 1973 and began to share it with the public. Countless articles and several books have since been published on Darger, but never has his art been actively portrayed as it is here, embellished by a storytelling voice that sounds the way Darger's voice may have sounded: gentle but curt, impassioned but matter-of-fact. Add in several interviews with neighbors, including one with Kiyoko Lerner, and you get a fascinating—if necessarily speculative—picture of Darger inhabiting his strange fantasies.
Animating someone else's art is a controversial proposition, doubly so with Darger. His sincere, exacting artistic approach required that he dedicate every second of free time to perfecting his techniques. The boxes of pencil nubs, tall stacks of visual reference and piles of used watercolors that Yu's camera scans across demonstrate that Darger was his own harshest teacher and critic. Fortunately, Yu's animators kept the special effects to a minimum, going more for an old-fashioned, paper-doll like style rather than the gaudy Pixar look. The animation is charming and loyal to the work.
Yu's last two films—the Academy Award-winning Breathing Lessons: The Life and Work of John O'Brien and The Living Museum—also documented artists who overcame physical and mental challenges. She's friendly and open, making it obvious that she's doing what she loves. I interviewed her at her home in Los Angeles, as she was preparing to travel to Chicago, Darger's hometown, for the film's opening festivities.
In the Realms of the Unreal is screening in select theatres across North America through April.
Arthur: How did this film come to be?
Jessica Yu: I was giving a talk about my last film, The Living Museum, about a group of artists in a psychiatric center in New York. A reporter in the audience knew the Lerners [Darger's landlords], and he asked me if I'd heard of Darger. The next day he took me to Kiyoko Lerner's house. Kiyoko showed me some paintings, then she let me go up to his room by myself. Before this, Darger had been an abstraction to me. But I felt such a strong sense of his presence in his room. Everything in there said something about him. I wanted to tie together the feeling of that room with some comprehensible look at the work, so that we might get a sense of who this person was.
There's so much great footage of his room in the film. Did you shoot that footage on your first visit?
No, I went back to ask Kiyoko about making a documentary. She was open, but cautious. She doesn't want people to exploit Darger's work. I wanted the room to substitute for Darger himself. To do this, I tried to get movement in all the shots, and we shot a lot from where he sat at the desk. I imagined how he might have looked at the room. He had his central point, gazing up at the stained glass window of the dove, sitting at the table surrounded by his work. It gives you a sense of how he lived.
Was your fascination rooted in a love for Darger's artwork or with his tragic story? Or both? Continue reading →

"Dizzying Heights": Animal Collective interviewed by Trinie Dalton (Arthur No. 19/Nov. 2005)
Originally published in Arthur No. 19 (Nov. 2005)
Dizzying Heights
How do the four humble critters that are Animal Collective make such wildly beautiful and beguiling sounds?
As pathetic as this sounds, I originally started listening to Animal Collective because they were an "animal band," and I make a point of hearing all new animal bands because I'm obsessed with animals. There are so many animal bands these days, especially lupine ones: Wolf Eyes, Wolf Parade, Wolfmother…I figure anyone who names their band after animals must like animals too, so we have something in common, and maybe they're also into classic animal bands, like The Animals and The Turtles. So far, this theory for checking out new bands has worked, and I like most animal bands. But Animal Collective are by far the best. They're King of the Jungle.
This is an especially lame confession because the members of Animal Collective barely even like having a name; they'd much prefer to be individuals who come together in various combos and in various locations to make intriguingly titled albums, like Danse Manatee, Campfire Songs, or Here Comes the Indian, sans band name. That's one refreshing thing about Animal Collective: they aren't glory hogs. In animal terms, they're like prairie dogs, bees, or penguins—humble critters that understand the definition of teamwork. In the beginning, Animal Collective often wore masks and costumes hiding their individual identities, and they've always used nicknames to keep alive the secret society element of what they do: Dave Portner is Avey Tare, Brian Weitz is Geologist, Josh Dibbs is Deakin, and Noah Lennox is Panda Bear. Having a band name is too traditional, they say; they only have one because record labels have told them that listeners need to identify the group as a cohesive, named unit.
Which is important, because Animal Collective are one of those rare bands who sound completely different live and on record. Sung Tongs, their last full-length album, is infused with psychedelic wall-of-sound production, Brian Wilson-style. Sung Tongs is so classic it gives me chills. I imagine Sung Tongs on the cover of that Arthur issue 50 years from now featuring the best albums of the past century. The cool part is, I'll recall how I nearly went deaf hearing tweaky live versions of harmonious tunes like "Leaf House" and "Kids On Holiday." On headphones, certain Animal Collective songs sound sleepy and hypnotic, while live those same songs make the club's floor vibrate from heavy bass and guitar distortion. Hearing Animal Collective live is nearly my favorite pastime. Recently, while living in Berlin, I was so dying to see them that I almost flew hundreds of miles to southern France to catch their gig. Getting a grip, I reminded myself that this was a little extreme, not to mention expensive. Each show is different, though: live versions of songs render them unrecognizable or mutate into new songs, so you can't say, I'll just stay home and listen to the album.
Feels, Animal Collective's new release, is heavily injected with sentiment without being sappy. Dedicated to such lofty romantic themes as Love, Purple (the color of passion) and (they say) "synchronicity, or connections between people," Feels is highly emotive. As opposed to Sung Tongs' choral vocal layerings and druggy nods to Smiley Smile, Feels contains fewer vocal harmonies but compensates with an abundance of rock-out moments balanced by a "warm hum" of instruments. I can't wait to see these songs performed live, since the instrumentation on Feels is so elusive. This new record also further distinguishes Animal Collective from the Freakfolk bands they've sometimes been lumped together with. I never thought they sounded even remotely folky; Feels instead sounds a lot more influenced by their early inspirations, My Bloody Valentine and Pavement.
Animal Collective are childhood friends. Noah and Josh met in second grade in their hometown, Baltimore. In 1996, Josh hooked up with Brian and Dave, who were also high school buddies from Maryland. They all hung out sporadically throughout college, and by 2000, they were all living in New York, where they recorded and released Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, which gave them their first taste of success. Since then, they've made several albums and started a record label, Paw Tracks, home to artists like Ariel Pink and The Peppermints. Prospect Hummer, their last record, is testament to all the European touring they've done; they met and recruited Vashti Bunyan in England for vocals on it. Three of the band left New York years ago—Noah for Lisbon, Brian for D.C., and Dave for Europe—so Animal Collective functions via satellite, in a way, until they convene for recording sessions and tours. Even interviewing them was a feat—I received four separate phone calls from around the world—although I really enjoyed it because Animal Collective were so friendly. Each man spoke highly of the others, discussing how the group sound has evolved instead of geeking out on who plays what. They gave uncannily similar answers, and Brian confessed that Animal Collective may know each other "too well." I had this feeling before, but I know it now—Animal Collective are four best friends committed to experimenting and having fun.

NCLB waiver brings relief
July 6, 2012 By Andrew Beckett
A state lawmaker says a waiver for the federal No Child Left Behind law will help Wisconsin more effectively improve its public schools. The U.S. Department of Education on Friday approved the waiver, which exempts the state from several of the education law's requirements.
Senate Education Committee Chairman Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) says it removes a lot of pressure from the state, such as meeting a requirement that all students be proficient in math and reading by 2014. Critics have argued that benchmark is nearly impossible to meet under the law and schools could have lost aid if they failed to do so.
Olsen says the state can now address the achievement gap in public schools using plans that are tailored to the specific needs of Wisconsin students. He says it allows for a better testing situation to determine how students are doing and where they are in their academic progress.
The waiver also allows the state to evaluate the performance of teachers, which Olsen says will be critical to identify educators who are doing a good job, those who need a little help improving, and teachers who should not be in the classroom at all.
Federal education officials are working to re-write No Child Left Behind, but Olsen hopes states can continue to take their own approach and do what they feel is necessary to help their students.
Wisconsin is one of 26 states to be granted a waiver so far.
