text: Evaluation of a Centralized Response to Domestic Violence by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department Domestic Violence Unit, 1998-1999 Pennell, Susan Burke, Cynthia arrests crime reporting domestic violence intervention law enforcement police reports policies and procedures victim services victims ICPSR.XVII.E NACJD.VI NACJD.XIII This study examined the implementation of a specialized domestic violence unit within the San Diego County Sheriff's Department to determine whether the creation of the new unit would lead to increased and improved reporting, and more filings for prosecution. In order to evaluate the implementation of the specialized domestic violence unit, the researchers conducted the following tasks: (1) They surveyed field deputies to assess their level of knowledge about domestic violence laws and adherence to the countywide domestic violence protocol. (2) They studied a sample from the case tracking system that reported cases of domestic violence handled by the domestic violence unit to determine changes in procedures compared to an earlier case tracking study with no specialized unit. (3) They interviewed victims of domestic violence by phone to explore the responsiveness of the field deputies and the unit detectives to the needs of the victims. Part 1 (Deputy Survey Data) contains data on unit detectives' knowledge about the laws concerning domestic violence. Information includes whether or not the person considered the primary aggressor was the person who committed the first act of aggression, if a law enforcement officer could decide whether or not to complete a domestic violence supplemental report, whether an arrest should be made if there was reasonable cause to believe that a misdemeanor offense had been committed, and whether the decision to prosecute a suspect lay within the discretion of the district or city attorney. Demographic variables include deputy's years of education and law enforcement experience. Part 2 (Case Tracking Data) includes demographic variables such as race and sex of the victim and the suspect, and the relationship between the victim and the suspect. Other information was collected on whether the victim and the suspect used alcohol and drugs prior to or during the incident, if the victim was pregnant, if children were present during the incident, highest charge on the incident report, if the reporting call was made at the same place the incident occurred, suspect actions described on the report, if a gun, knife, physical force, or verbal abuse was used in the incident, if the victim or the suspect was injured, and if medical treatment was provided to the victim. Data were also gathered on whether the suspect was arrested or booked, how the investigating officer decided whether to request that the prosecutor file charges, type of evidence collected, if a victim or witness statement was collected, if the victim had a restraining order, prior history of domestic violence, if the victim was provided with information on domestic violence law, hotline, shelter, transportation, and medical treatment, highest arrest charge, number of arrests for any drug charges, weapon charges, domestic violence charges, or other charges, case disposition, number of convictions for the charges, and number of prior arrests and convictions. Part 3 (Victim Survey Data) includes demographic variables such as victim's gender and race. Other variables include how much time the deputy spent at the scene when s/he responded to the call, number of deputies the victim interacted with at the scene, number of deputies at the scene that were male or female, if the victim used any of the information the deputy provided, if the victim used referral information for counseling, legal, shelter, and other services, how helpful the victim found the information, and the victim's rating of the performance of the deputy. 2006-03-30 administrative records data, and survey data 3488 10.3886/ICPSR03488.v1 self-enumerated questionnaires, computerized databases, and telephone interviews California San Diego United States 1998--1999 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

I absolutely love this product! I don't normally write reviews but this deserves one. I bought this as a result of trying to buy 'cruelty free' skincare products and I'm really pleased I did. It is a cleanser and a toner which really saves time. Brought up a few spots at first but thats because its drawing out the impurities from below the skin. I'm using this twice a day followed by the day or night creams from this range and I've seen a great difference with my skin, so soft and smooth. Definitely would recommend!

Subir Bhaumik | 24 Dec 2012 15:31 GMT | Asia, India, Myanmar
A video journalist has been shot dead by police at a rally against the alleged sexual assault on an actress in the northeastern state of Manipur.
Thangjam Dijamani, who worked for the state's Prime News channel, was killed on Sunday after officers opened fire during the protest in Manipur's capital, Imphal.
"I am shocked to see one of our colleagues killed like this," A Mobi, president of Manipur's journalist federation, told Al Jazeera.
Local journalist David Mayum added: "He had two small children and he was the only earning member of his family."
Mass protests over sexual assaults against women have engulfed India in recent days. Thousands of people took to the streets of New Delhi before news of an assault against an actress named Momoko prompted further public outrage in Imphal - more than 2,000km from the country's capital.
Momoko has waived her right to anonymity.
"The protesters were setting up roadblocks with logs of wood and blazing car tyres," said Mayum.
"The police were chasing them away but once the police were gone they would come back."
Five police personnel have reportedly been suspended for their actions during the rally. Officials said the journalist was shot by accident while police attempted to disperse protesters. The strike, called by the Manipur Film Forum and supported by a host of regional groups, started on Saturday and has paralysed life in the state for the past few days. On Sunday, rocks were pelted at police as tensions rose before the shooting. "We want justice for this brazen act of crime against women," said gender dynamic expert Dr Vijaylakshmi Brara. "In our part of India, crime against women is much less than in the mainland, so this incident upsets us so much." Further provoking the ire of many Manipuris, the man accused of assaulting Momoko at a concert near the border with Myanmar on Tuesday was reported to be a guerrilla fighter belonging to the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), a group which demands a sovereign state for the mostly Christian Naga tribe of northeast India and neighbouring Myanmar.Manipur government had to impose curfew in the whole of Imphal valley to control the situation after protestors continued to clash with police for the third successive day, setting vehicles on fire and blocking roads with logs of wood. The indefinite strike continued for the third successive day. To placate the protestors, Manipur government announced a cash reward of half a million Indian rupees ($10,000) for information that could lead to the arrest of the NSCN leader Livingstone Anal who is accused of molesting the actress Momoko.The NSCN is the strongest of the many separatist groups in the region, but it has been engaged in negotiations with the Indian federal government since declaring a ceasefire in 1997. Indian officials have reportedly been prepared to concede many of the NSCN demands - but not to grant full independence. Most Manipuris fiercely resist the NSCN's plans for a "greater Naga state", which would leave their own state greatly diminished.

Great for the price! Fun to collect :)I used to have a lot of these, I ended up giving them away or selling the unused ones because I own too much makeup right now. BUT, I do love these and I recommend them to everyone. Some of the shades are hit/miss, most of the medium/darker shades are super pigmented and easily dupe-able to MAC eyeshadows. I always buy one or two to include in little gift bags and giveaways. — 2 years, 8 months agoBeautyByKrystal | 31 reviews

really good for priceI find that this product is good for the cheap price. It has loads of colors and finishes. Each palette is different, some are good and have nice pigmentation and some don't.

GreatI love these little pallets so much. They are so cheap and come with three different colors. The colors are all beautiful and have great pigmentation. They have the three basic eye colors to create a eyeshadow look. The highlight color and the crease color and the lashline color. This trio is perfect and I love them, they come in all different types of colors and they even have instructions on the back of the pallate.

Federation ship desing makes me sad
Dont understand me wrong: The ships look good. BUT
I always loved in startrek the big ships with a few hundred people on board, with saucer section and two warp pods.
In the movies I liked most the sovereign class and the akira class even more. I never liked ships with three or four warp pods ( or what ever they are called in english, sorry)
The game starts with an Miranda that looks good. I customized it with parts of the two other classes and there was no problem.
Than i took the constellation but also liked the nova class.
Than I can have my favorite, the Akira. But this ship is weak and for me the game is over, I have everything I looked for ;).
May the outside is not important, but I always see the ship, some would say that I should be glad to even have a choice, and yes I am.
But thats me. I like to choose a ship I like and so I jump from cruiser to eskort, to science maybe. I would play a doctor and maybe help other ships in battle in space.
But the science ships will all have three warp pods in the end, thats unacceptable for me.
The escorts become too much fighterstyle. I know the defiant looks nice and is big too but for me it always looked and behave like a small fighter and not like a big ship. The biggest eskort in the end are also too much racecar.
And last but not least, the cruisers have four warp pods after sovereign.
But at the end I will return to the cruisers.
In the movies, the ships became a more fragile style, which I liked. In the game they become more heavy and ponderous.
I know the reason why I cannot choose between different numbers of warp pods have some technic causes.
I never liked the Neg'Vah, in the game all Klingeon ships (except the Neg'Vah of course) look great. I always loved the Bird of Prey design, and the heavy ones are awesome.
Conversely, I love the four nacelle designs because they look so unusual. I wish I could make my ship look "thrown together", because my Captain is a rogue and a tinkerer, but I settled for making the nacelles on the Heavy Cruiser different lengths.
There are plenty of ships with the traditional saucer and cylinders arrangement, though, the Constitution Class, of course, and its two variants; the Galaxy, of course; the Sovereign, the Excelsior, the Nebula, the Luna, the Miranda, and even the Akira has a saucer variant.
Then there is the arrowhead and flat body model started with the Voyager. There is the little Nova, of course, the Intrepid, the Oslo Heavy Escort variant, the Prometheous, the Avenger, and even the Oracle. (That third "warp nacelle", BTW, is if I am correct not a warp nacelle, but a "science pod", which is supposed to give the ship interchangable science capabilities. And I think it is optional...)
Finally, there is the Saber, which to me looks like a saucer design with the edges trimmed off to make it look aggressive, and warp pods stuck on, the no-frills arrowhead of the Defiant, and the Hermes, kind of the evolution of both. And in my opinion the ugliest of the Star Trek ships, the Olympic and its ball. But the Olympic is totally canon. (And interestingly enough, based on one of the early concept models of the Enterprise made during the creation of TOS)
In short, while you may not like the design of all the of the ships, there's no need to give up. There should be something you like waiting for you at every rank of the game. If nothing else, you can just go with the Excelsior refit at Vice Admiral. That's basically the Enterprise-B, from Generations, you can't get closer to the original without the devs making a Constitution refit. :D
I agree that there is a certain formula that Gene Rodenberry used which held true for the most part. I am all for more ships added to STO, but I would strongly suggest that the graphics artists stick to the traditional layout of a Saucer, two (or four nacelles), and an engineering hull. The Long Range Science Vessle is ok, but really should have had a clearly defined Saucer. The Star Cruiser was much more in line with the tradtional designs, but it could have a more rounded saucer. It was a good start and I encourage the design teams to contiune to bring us more ships.
Gene Rodenberry's "rules"
Good Articles about Starship designs
Second, there are many ship designs, totally canon in the Star Trek universe, that do NOT have an engineering hull. The Miranda, Sabre, Akira, Nebula, and even the original NX Enterprise have just a saucer and two warp nacelles with NO engineering hull, and these are all canon ships from the movies, TNG, and DS9, which Rodenberry was involved in. And the Olympic, with its sphere in place of a saucer, was based on an early design for the TOS Enterprise, and appeared in TNG and DS9.
The Prometheus appeared in Voyager, as well, so only the Oracle (the LRSV) the Luna (designed by fans for a ST novel series) the Hermes, the Vanguard and the various reskins of the base ship types are completely invented by STO. To my mind, I don't think they've done a bad job of capturing the look of Star Trek ships in general. Even the Stargazer, with its four nacelles (although they were in a different configuration, positioned close together above and below the ship) and the Galaxy refit with its three nacelles were feature in actual Star Trek episodes. If those designs with multiple nacelles are invalid, then they are invalid in canon ST episodes.
BTW, I think that I should point out an explanation I have heard as to why the Enterprise is such a beautiful, as well as relevent and long lasting design, which has successfully been expanded on and updated without losing its beauty. You essentially have a combination between the feminine, in the form of the main saucer hull, with the masculine, in its nacelles and engineering section. Thus, the ship conveys both strength and power, and yet also a sense of comfort and safety. It is a "home" for the characters, and so we identify with it.
You also have a sense of stability in the triangle formed by the warp nacelles and the engineering hull, which in many of the science ships is reversed, to put the warp nacelles below, and the "science pod" above. The article you linked to also points out an important factor, which is that the warp nacelles are ALWAYS visible, from any angle on the ship. (For the Voyager, this is accomplished by actually moving them before going to warp) The article implies there is a technological reason for this, but asthetically it enforces the "tripod" structure and ensures the power source of the ship is obvious to the viewer.
Assault Cruiser - 2 Nacelles
Star Cruiser - 2 Nacelles
Exploration Retro - 2 Nacelles
Advanced Heavy Retro - 2 Nacelles
The only T5 cruiser which stands out would be the Galaxy-X Dreadnaught featuring three nacelles.
i think all ships fit the startrek universe.
May there should be a possibility to craft the lower vessels so that they can have more weapon slots and higher bridge officers. Maybe there is and I don't know. Who knows...
i forgot the recon vessels like luna. will make it hard to deside between them and sovereign. But I think I will try these next. Now I have a discovery-cochrane-mix that looks nice.
If you like to be a great captain of your ship, you may have to skill one class. I jump between the classes, so I may skill only the class I will have as admiral. Or maybe skill only other parts? Or have two or more chars of course.
Luna looks very nice :-) Of course same rank like Sovereign type. :-(
But my problem are the higher ranks. Constitution and Akira are weak, not much weapon slots, no commanders on the bridge and so no chance against some higher vessels.
I will not give up the games because of this. I can live with the star cruisers or recon later. I like to have a chance against higher ranks, so I think I will have to choose on of these higher ships.
I wish an akira, luna, sovereign style ship for the highest rank.
maybe the recon vessels are as good as the deep space science vessels, than i can choose.
And if the assault cruiser is not better than the starcruiser or the retrofit and dreadnought than everything is fine. I found my nearly akira style at the science vessels. thats ok for me, i am a doctor.
Voyager did have a saucer. True it was more triangular, but it was both longer and wider than it was deep. The Long Range Science Vessle is deeper than it is wide, as such it looses the clearly defined saucer section.
Yes, the Nebula and the Miranda were created for projects that Gene Rodenberry was involved with. There is debate as to whether the Miranda's roll bar was for weapons or the engineering section (I think it was both). The Nebula does indeed have an engineering section which is the same as the Galaxy. In fact, the Nebula really does have the same mass and volume, it is just more compact and has a smaller surface area compared to the Galaxy, but I digress. The Saber, Akira, Norway, Steamrunner and NX were created after Rodenberry's death. They do have engineering sections. The pyloins and pods consitute the engineering section. Both the Daeleus and Olypmic do indeed also have engineering sections as well.
As for the three nacelles, that is clearly against what Rodenberry advised. He said that the warp engines always worked in pairs. The Freedom and Niagra classes in "The Best of Both Worlds" ship grave yard violate this, and Michael Okuda even reminded his coworker about that, but those ships were included as it was agreed that the details would be very difficult to make out with the recording technology of the time. The only explination I can give for the thrid nacelle on the Galaxy Advanced Dreadnaught is that if the ship looses one nacelle, there is a backup one that could help, though the warp field would be very unstable because of absolute asymmitry.
I believe they justified the 3 nacelles by saying that each nacelle contains a pair of warp coils. That is splitting it really fine, however.
I had always called them Primary Hull (Saucer in STO) and Secondary Hull. I'm not sure where I picked up that nomenclature, but it seems to be a bit more generic.
I also heard or read the termsPrimary and Secondary Hull for saucer and engineering section. Either works for me.

PAYDAY: The Heist goes on sale, free to play this weekend
If the robberies played out in PAYDAY: The Heist caught your eye but you never got around to downloading, a current Steam promotion for the first-person shooter is under way. Right now, the game is being sold for half price, which comes to a much more affordable $9.99.
More importantly, however, The Heist is free to play this weekend. Considering the focus on teamwork in multiplayer, this is great news for new players and those who already own the PC version. With any luck, the end result should be a more robust community of players going forward.

BendFilm Program Manager Position Posted
BendFilm, in Bend, Oregon, invites inquiries for a contract Program Manager for the 2015 season.
A "WILD" Night in Bend!
Saturday, March 7, 2015, 7:00pm
A "WILD" Night in Bend!: Walk the entire PCT without leaving your seat and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Wildness Act!
Tickets: http://bendticket.strangertickets.com/events/23290288/a-wild-night-in-bend
Sundance / Slamdance 2015 - Day 4
Leaving Park City early can be either depressing or relieving – or both simultaneously. It's depressing because you could do it forever and relieving because there's no way in hell a human being can do it forever. The one thing you learn is that you can't do it all when you're there – or really even about 5% of it. All you can do is be thankful for the discoveries you made, the people you met and the friendships or biz partnerships that have deepened. This trip was all that and more. And as I flew past the Central Cascades of Oregon on a clear day, I was definitely relieved to return to a place like Bend.
Sundance / Slamdance 2015 - Day 3
Park City is experienced in waves – especially when you're on the cusp of 40. You just can't do long lines and late nights twice in a row. With that said…Day #3 came after a great, relaxing day of kicking back exclusively at Slamdance. It was time to "get back out there".
Sundance / Slamdance 2015 - Day 2
Saturday at Sundance is when the crowds start to pour in. When it was easy to get a seat on Friday is incredibly difficult on Saturday. So when a bit of exhaustion from the night before creeps in and you can't deal with lines…you have the lovely refuge of Slamdance – which is where I spent my Saturday.
Sundance / Slamdance 2015 - Day 1
Park City for Sundance and Slamdance is much like Bend during BendFilm...multiplied by a good 1,000. The buzz in the air is similar the excitement of the audience and filmmakers the same and the scenery here - eh...it's not too bad either. It's my third time here for the festivals. I love coming because for two weeks this is the one place where indie film is the most important thing going on. And these weeks set the independent film tone for the entire year.
Submissions Open Soon!
Submissions will be open February 6, 2015!

What are good hardy vines for zone 3
I was wondering what some good hardy vines for zone 3 would be. I have been told lots of things but untill people live in the colder zones and try growing here I dont think that they really know how well they will grow. I just wanted to know how youalls vines have turned out.
I hear the hops vine is hard to kill. Mine sure is, having survived the neighbor who doused my fence in Round Up.
It's not evergreen and I pull all vines off the fence in the fall - some people just leave them up to support the vine the following year. It sends up new growth from the ground in the spring, which is why it has little trouble living through some pretty cold weather.
Fast grower, possibly invasive, although I don't think as much as Virginia Creeper (another possible choice for your zone, I think) - don't stand still too long nearby as it will twine around you. I just hack off the pieces that are going where I don't want them to.
Nice foliage and it gets pretty little hops (used for making beer) in the fall - nice for dried flower arrangements. Some folks are a little allergic to the fuzzy stems of this plant, I get a short-lived contact rash if I don't cover up when taking the vine down.
I responded to your posting in the 'Vines' forum... just to give you more confidence, we ARE actually growing all the things I mentioned (plus a whole lot more clematis varieties than I mentioned) in zone 3, with full hardiness. (Oops, I lied - we don't actually have virginia creeper in this yard, but it is a commonly grown hardy vine even in zone 2.)
Lots to choose from...
Is there a garden center near you? That's generally the best place, as the people there have an interest in seeing you succeed, and can give you advice on planting, care, selection, and choice of species or variety. (Which, unfortunately, most people don't follow, LOL!, but it is normally offered if you ask for it.) Failing that, do some reading about basic plant care. Common hardy vines don't need any care beyond the basics of what any other planting in your area needs.
Then, if there's no garden center, is there at least a box store/hardware store that sells plants seasonally? So long as you grab the plants right off the truck, and have some eye for a healthy specimen, (buy potted plants, and avoid cheap plants sold in little waxed cardboard boxes with the roots cut off, and things like that), you can do alright too, but don't expect advice from the staff. Basically, just try to get what looks to you like the healthiest plant.
Mail order is another option, however, you don't get to see the plant before you buy it. You can get either dormant bare-root stock or potted plants, depending on what that particular business handles.
Hi, you can always check with "Wally/World" in spring as they have a good selection of ALL PLANTS & FLowers. Also a good place in ND is in FARGO at "Bakers" Nursery. They have everything & very nice too. We live outside of Grand Forks,but always go to "Bakers," its located on "University" ST. South. Good Luck! Razen
Whereabouts in the state are you folks? I'm near Valley City.
I haven't peeked at this page forever and now, all of a sudden, north dakota gardeners are popping up all over the place. I used to check the page frequently, hoping to hook up with some folks here (with no luck) to possibly make trades and talk about plants in the hinterland. Any takers?
Maybe your NDers should join the ranks of other states, and start your OWN forum. Join up with SDers, too and discuss common things you have there on the high plains.
It's all really interesting to hear of all the region/state specific issues and places to buythings, etc.
What about Clematis tangutica, AKA 'Golden Clematis'. It seems to be tougher than many varieties of clematis. It will grow and bloom here in Southcentral Alaska which is more or less USDA Zone 3.
I grow hops in pots and place the pot under my trellis each year. That contains its spread and allows me to move it around. I winter it over in the pot, buried in soil.
Wow what a great responce to this question. I have so many that I want to try now all i have to do is get the seeds an plant them. I have been trading for seeds so I have some. I will just have to try and see what comes from all of them. I am so excited thanks everyone for all of your help!!!!
Dropmore Honeysuckle does very well-blooms a long time and the hummingbirds love it. Hops Humulus (golden) grows like crazy here (eastern N. Dak.) Also, quite a few different varieties of clematis. I grow the grape "valiant" which is a rampant lovely wine with the added bonus of abundant blue grapes(much like small concord)
1. I have had great luck with Reliance seedless grapes and they are delicious. 2. Can't kill the woodbine if I tried. 3. The Explorer hardy climbing roses have yet to suffer any winterkill even when exposed (will see after this year's negative 36 degrees last week!). 4. The hardy kiwi vines are amazing. Fast growing and indestructible. Huge, even! So far, no fruit though. :( 5. Blackberries do well here, also.
I've just signed on to the forum and love all the questions and responses. Hope this isn't too late to be of some help. I have a 10 year old Jackmani clematis that grows very tall and flowers abundantly. We also have dropmore honeysuckle along one side of our deck for some privacy. The flowers are lovely. We prune it regularly so it doesn't get so out of hand. We also have Engelman ivy growing on our backfence and I don't think anything could kill that. Two years ago I planted a piece of grape ivy that I received from our son in Minneapolis. Although he gets grapes, I didn't have any but the vine was beautiful. It filled 4 tall trellises which are about 36" wide. My neighbor loved it when it went up and over our fence into her yard. It formed a canopy type effect. I planted a Jackson and Perkins Peace climbing rose last year but didn't get any flowers. It came back and appears to be doing well thus far.
I am dealing with a triple whammy: short growing season and cold winters (to -40), very poor clay soil, and either full sun or no sun depending on which side of the house you are on. I have tried clematis in our front garden, which faces north and gets no direct sunlight. It did not do well, but might have done better in the south-facing backyard.
This discussion was very helpful. I will try some of your suggestions this year. I would like to find a vine to grow up a lattice screen in the backyard.
I am also looking for Doyle (?) thornless blackberries, which I understand were bred to grow in Northern Alberta. Being from the south coast of BC, I miss blackberries so much!

Even so, many of them seem to believe that this is quite challenging to do. If you know how to go about it, functioning a effective property organization of your very own may in fact be really attainable. Here are some fantastic home company tips that will aid you to get began.

Doing work at house can be actually excellent at very first, but if operate often will come first your self-esteem will certainly undergo.

Carrying out these factors will make you truly feel like a celebrity and make other folks feel you are a celebrity!
Locate out what sum every item you are taking into consideration offering is selling for just before you make the choice to promote it. Search at your competitors' choices, and try to conquer their charges. When you are attempting to make a sale, avoid placing down the competition and emphasize the advantages of your item or service alternatively.
Invest time in a organization forum on the World wide web. There, you will be amongst others in your place of studying the ropes in property business functions. Other house organization proprietors know what you offer with, and you can collaborate with each other and question for advice.
As you know, lots of individuals have house business goals. Sadly, a lot of of these residence company enthusiasts will never discover how to adhere to their dreams. Use the over advice to achieve accomplishment in your property organization.

HAVE: Free to Give: Old Herb Companion Magazines
Hi - I'm new here, so not sure of protocol, but I'm decluttering and I have the following copies of the Herb Companion Magazine. I don't have space for them anymore, but it's so hard to "throw away" copies of such a great magazine. I'm in the Dallas, Texas area and would be happy to give them away to anyone. The collection weighs a little more than 15 lbs, so not sure it would be worth shipping, but I could do that too if I don't have to cover the costs - we can discuss. My email is email@example.com. If I don't get a response in the next week, I'm going to bite the bullet and toss them out. Here's the list:

None of the British newspapers published the cartoons today. The Independent impressively skirted the issue with a fresh commission.
Today for one day satirical cartoons was the news and in the UK none were published. Today of all days. There will be many column inches written about Charlie Hebdo but in fact images are far more powerful.
RIP the cartoonists who died. May many young cartoonists go on to ridicule us all.

Many thanks to our presenters for their stimulating talks, and to the audience for a lively discussion. Dr.Caroline Bressey and Dr.Gemma Romain of the Equiano Centre were joined by Tate Britain curator Emma Chambers to talk about their research for the Tate Britain display 'Spaces of Black Modernism'. The artworks were selected to reveal that the artistic community in Britain during the inter-war years included artists and models from diverse ethnic backgrounds. It was revealing to hear how these artists played an active and influential role in the art scene of the time, particularly in London. The curators have brought to light the trans-national exchange between artists of the pre-war era. It was fascinating to see the artworks, don't miss the display!
Artist Helen Couchman described her project and book 'Workers'- photographs of Chinese labourers at the Beijing Olympic site. These migrant workers often spend years many miles away from home. Helen spoke about the nature of the exchange between herself as the photographer and the labourers. She gave each one a high-quality print of the photograph, which many workers sent back to their families. The photographs enabled them to express a pride in what they had constructed. Helen then talked about her other book ' Mrs.West's Hats'; a photo-essay in self-portraiture and identity. A series of photographs show Helen trying on her late grandmother's many hats. The photographs capture her expression at the instant she saw herself in a mirror. The series elicits responses about family, memory and sense of self. Visit Helen's website to see her photographs.
Many interesting connections between the two presentations emerged over the course of the evening including; identity, portraiture, ways of connecting with the past and with others.

Helen Couchman moved to London to study first a BA and then an MA in Fine Art. More recently she was invited to do a period of PhD research into her own practice ending in 2012.Couchman lived in China for nearly seven years and during her time there exhibited in Hong Kong and numerous times in Beijing as well as back in the UK and in New York. Previously she had often produced new bodies of work while working abroad, Cyprus (2003), Armenia (2004), Vermont (2005) and China (2006). She worked in New York City on new work relating to that city and Beijing (2012/2013).
Couchman will be artist in residence at The Asia Society and is planning an exhibition at CFCCA, Manchester both in 2015. She is currently based out of the UK and working in Oman on her third book.
Dr. Caroline Bressey and Dr. Gemma Romain will present on their research and curation with Tate Britain of the current display 'BP Spotlight: Spaces of Black Modernism: London 1919-39′. The display brings together artworks which demonstrate the trans-national exchange between artists from diverse ethnic backgrounds during the inter-war years. The artworks were selected from the Tate Collection and public and private collections. Between the wars, a cosmopolitan network of artists exchanged ideas in London's art colleges, studios and clubs. They were instrumental in shaping the cultural and political identity of the city.
Caroline and Gemma are researchers at the Equiano Centre at University College London. The Centre was founded to support research into the Black Presence in Britain. Spaces of Black Modernism builds on research from the Drawing Over the Colour Line project.
Dr. Caroline Bressey is a lecturer in the Department of Geography, UCL. Her research focuses upon recovering the historical geographies of the black community in Victorian Britain, especially London. Parallel to this are her interests in ideas of race, racism, early anti-racist theory and identity in Victorian society. A large part of her research uses photography and this interest led her to collaborate with the National Portrait Gallery, London, on the representation of black and Asian people in their collections. She has worked as a curator with the National Portrait Gallery and Museum in Docklands.
Dr. Gemma Romain is a historian who researches Caribbean and Black diasporic history. Research Associate for the AHRC funded project 'Drawing over the Colour Line'.
Vera Douie Fellow at the Women's Library, documenting interwar Black histories within the collections. Leverhulme Early Career fellowship at Newcastle University, project entitled 'Negotiating Slavery and Freedom: petitioning and protest in the nineteenth century British Caribbean'. She has worked for various museums and archives including The National Archives UK and the National Maritime Museum. She has taught at Birkbeck College, University of London on the subject of Black hidden histories in museum and archival collections.

Training New Content Area Secondary Teachers to Teach Literacy: The University/public School Partnership
Academic journal article
By Fritz, Andrea E.; Cooner, Donna; Stevenson, Cerissa
Reading Improvement , Vol. 46, No. 1 , Spring 2009
Cooner, Donna
Stevenson, Cerissa
Article excerpt
A high number of secondary students struggle with literacy. This adolescent literacy educational crisis affects students after they graduate both in college and in their employment. One resolution for this problem is to train secondary content area preservice teachers in strategies for literacy. Colorado State University developed a university literacy course for secondary preservice teachers using a university/public school partnership. Preservice teachers attended a large weekly lecture, a small weekly recitation class where they learned literacy strategies, and then practiced these strategies in a junior high classroom with students weekly. Course attendants answered questionnaires both before and after the course, and it was found that students highly overestimated their understanding of literacy strategies before the course.
Teaching students to read above a basic level, and with deeper comprehension and understanding, has been a critical national problem for many years. Too often, the focus is on elementary students, but the percentage of secondary students struggling with reading is just as grim. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), only thirty-one percent of the United State's eighth grade students, and almost the same percentage of twelfth graders, meet the NAEP reading proficiency standard of their grade level (Perie & Donohue, 2005). This percentage translates into an enormous number of secondary students in our country who struggle with reading. The Washington-based education policy research and advocacy group Alliance for Excellent Education estimates that a total of 6 million middle and high school students are unable to read at an acceptable level (Aratani, 2006). Since the reading levels of America's seventeen-year-olds have shown no improvement at all from 1971 to 2004, this is a continuing and dire literacy crisis in the nation's schools (NCES, 2004). Lack of literacy skills affects students critically later in life, and studies show that students struggle after high school both in employment and in college (Adelman, 2006).
To help close this serious gap in literacy, students in teacher licensure programs (referred to as preservice teachers) who are not planning to be reading teachers, but will be teaching social studies, math, science or history, must be given more intensive education for teaching literacy. Teacher preparation is the key to reforming current practices (Biancarosa & Snow, 2004; Darling-Hammond & Young, 2002; Kanstoroom & Finn, 1999; Levine, 2006). There have been numerous evaluations and critiques of teacher preparation programs, and there have been many calls for change. According to Kanstroom and Finn (1999), teacher training has often been characterized by process, with the majority of the focus being on "seat time, repetitive educational methods courses, and heavy doses of educational theory." In the second of his series of three policy reports, Levine (2006) critically examined teacher preparation programs around the country and outlined recommendations for strengthening teacher education, as well as criteria for excellence in teacher education programs. Incorporating both scholars and expert practitioners in the planning, teaching, and assessment stages is one critical aspect for excellence in teacher education programs (Levine, 2006). Preservice students and alumni are often critical of courses taught by instructors who are not current or recent practitioners (Levine, 2006). A common criticism of alumni of teacher preparation programs is the "desire for more, longer, earlier, and better-integrated field work experiences (Levine, 2006). It is not surprising that praise for teacher education programs was found to come from those who had spent greater time in the schools from the very beginning of their preparation programs, rather than merely spending time in college courses.
Teachers are often reluctant to include literacy improvement activities as goals in secondary content area classrooms (Alger, 2007). …
