5 Biggest Challenges you will face when trying to land a Corporate Law Job if you are not from a National Law University
This article is written by Aditya Shrivastava and Ramanuj Mukherjee from iPleaders.
Legal education in India has changed almost upside down post the writ petition filed in the wake of 2006, for conducting a 'Common Law Entrance Exam', now known as CLAT. Not that National Law Universities did not exist prior to it, but with the introduction of CLAT and the opening of 18 new National Law Universities across the Country, the entire focus has moved from the conventional law schools to these new age law universities, which are set up by state governments but are somehow called national. While many alumni of NLUs have done exceedingly well in the profession, most of our countries lawyers are being trained in traditional law colleges and non-NLU environments. What about them? Are they lesser mortals? Are they not as good as the NLU graduates? Or is it just that NLUs are getting an unfair share of attention while talented graduates from non-NLUs struggle to get a job that is a match for their abilities?
There are different opinions that different people have on this. However, the opinion that counts the most is probably that of recruiters, and top recruiters are voting with job offers which are only favourable to the few older NLUs. It is quite easy for top of the batch students from top 6 NLUs to bag a good job with dreamy starting packages and incentives.
Arguably, let's assume there is an equally good, or even better student, who is about to graduate from a non-NLU. What is the nature of the disadvantage he is going to face? What does he exactly have to do to get over that disadvantage and bag one of the top jobs?
Over the years, I have seen several of our students, who belonged to a non-NLU and cracked in to one of the few top law firms while most others from lower NLUs found it an exasperating and frustrating task to get even a reply to their mails. Even in the year in which I joined Trilegal, while most new joinees were from NLS Bangalore, NUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, NALSAR Hyderabad etc, however, there were a handful who joined from places like Christ Law School Bangalore, GLC Bombay, Amity Law School Noida, Symbiosis Pune etc.
Sadly, the struggle has been different. While those of us from NLUs got picked up from our campus after 30-40 minutes of interview, they had a tough time firstly to get an internship. Then, diligently interning at many different law firms, winning the confidence of key associates, getting a call back for a second internship, being tested at several levels and finally getting an offer, after a prolonged interview. It was always much more difficult and a longer process for our non-NLU colleagues to get that job. What worsens the situation is some big law firms even offer a lower salary to graduates of non-NLU campuses compared to top 6 NLUs.
Even in 2011 cracking a top law firm from any given Law School, was not a very unachievable phenomenon. Today in fact it has only become easier. However, it takes massive willpower, creating likeability in the eyes of your senior, working at ungodly hours, noticeability and credible work to crack through the walls of the system that almost always favours NLU graduates from a few institutions (although many of them will not admit to this).
Note that if you are a non-NLU student determined to make it to a big law firm and succeed as a corporate lawyer, it is definitely within reach provided you are ready to rise up to the challenge. Here is a student who was born blind for instance, who went to Nagpur University to study law, and got through to Trilegal. Here is another who went to Bangalore Institute of Legal Studies and then got through to Trilegal. If you spend some time reading SuperLawyer.in, you will find many such examples.
If you watched Suits, you may know about the only Harvard rule at Pearson Hardman, the imaginary law firm where Harvey Specter is a senior partner. The firm never hires anybody other than Harvard Graduates! So if you are a great lawyer but didn't go to Harvard, they don't care, they will not take you. One day, Harvey Specter is given the task to hire new graduates for the firm, and he breaks the rule clandestinely by hiring a fraud who is not even a lawyer but knows enough law! Just like in real world, competence usually tend to trump qualifications and brand names. I am guessing you are going to graduate as a lawyer, and you definitely will find your way if you are ready to do what it takes.
There is certainly a way if there is a will. The first step of the way is to understand how to the system works and what is the exact nature of the problem you are going to face if you are seeking a job at a top law firm as an associate after graduating from a non-NLU law college.
Lack of CV Building Culture
Have you ever wondered the reason as to why most of the partners at leading corporate law firms prefer hiring NLU graduates, when they themselves are from conventional law schools in most cases? A typical NLU student strives very hard to land good internships, makes efforts towards moot courts, parliamentary debates, MUNs, negotiation competitions, mediation tournaments, drafting exercises and every other kind of event which could benefit his CV. Most non-NLU students cannot even imagine the single minded focus and rat race seen in NLUs for certificates which could do any value addition to their CV.
People join and run different committees, and at times even create more of them just to become convenor or co-convenor. They organize events, go for conferences abroad and blog extensively. They write research papers, articles, take up online courses like these, and at times even attend summer schools abroad and assist professors which can make their CV stand out.
It is very hard to actually stand out though, as the same pattern is followed by everyone. Nobody lets an opportunity slip by without trying to get an advantage out of it. This is the prevalent culture in most NLUs, which is not very different from most business schools either.
Non-NLU students simply never see this environment. They do whatever they can, simply on their own initiative. While most of their friends are breaking a sweat over passing relatively simpler exams (compared to what a lawyer is professionally required to do), it is hard to expect that non-NLU students will go out of their way to make a CV like the NLU graduates do.
In fact, many colleges do not understand the need to do this, and discourage students from missing classes for pursuing extracurricular activities. NLUs give extra holidays to participate in various events and go for internships, sometimes even providing funds for international travel, while is traditional colleges all these are unthinkable and unheard of. However, that is a huge disadvantage when it comes to recruitment preparedness of the students.
Lack of Exposure to prove your worth
Your university might be located in a city which might not have enough exposure. The definition of exposure can be anything from getting an internship at a marquee law firm, availability of a High Court in your city, your university being invited to National tournaments, guest lectures from distinguished luminaries, prevalence of debating and moot culture to having enough opportunities for getting a recommendation for an internship at a good law firm/corporate department.
The exposure also gets restricted due to university culture which is a huge roadblock. You see, where the mindset of an NLU student is to fight all odds, and make a place for him/herself, even if it means fighting against university's rigid conventional ideologies (as demonstrated by many uprisings in NLUs against administration), a non-NLU student bows humbly down to them. We have seen numerous cases of entire NLU standing up for each other for a lewd remark made by a professor to a girl student, or coming up with Queer Cells in an NLU, whereas, non-NLU students just survive through these. What they fail to realize is, such exposure makes the NLU students stronger to take on external challenges. All of these above not only restricts the exposure but also impacts the opportunities for demonstrating the capabilities of non-NLU students. Just think of the students who have to drop out of a moot because exams got declared suddenly by University. In an NLU, one may get an opportunity to write the papers later whereas if you are in a college affiliated to Mumbai, Pune or IP University, you have no choice but to write the exams without a fuss even if months of preparation goes to complete waste.
Experienced Competition vs. You
Despite coming from a National Law University, having one of the best CV in my university, having interned at best law firms (including assessment internships), having diverse initiative-led experiences, having a knack for communication and grades which were amongst the top 5 of my college, when it came to getting the first job, I had to struggle massively to prove my worth.
At times, I was called for more than 3 interviews, and rejected later in case they found someone with experience, and at times they directly sent a rejection as all that the recruiter wanted was someone with experience. The perception is that someone who has no experience will take a lot of time and resources to get trained. Also, freshers need a lot of time to adjust to the work environment for the first time and are known for having unrealistic expectations from their job.
Although this challenge is for every fresher in general, still the magnitude for it is way higher for a student from non-NLU background as they are not just competing against NLU and premier university students but also with those deserving professionals who have the required experience for the job but did not get the apt opportunity.
These days it is in vogue for corporate houses to sign an MoU with universities and only recruit students from there. Cognizant for example, has "Campus Recruiting" MoUs with approximately 30 universities in the country. An ex-HR from Cognizant told me in private, on a fresher level, he could only take students from the university that they have signed up with. In case they hired someone on need basis outside MoU, the remuneration for it is much less. However, for even an entry-level position they still preferred individuals with experience and such people are fairly easy to find in the legal profession.
Even for law firms, most of them go back only to the universities from which they have recruited before. Day 0 is only successful in universities which have a good alumni base, or which manage to build deep relationships with some companies. Thus, while an NLU student is taken care of by placement cells, a non-NLU student often ends up facing competition from all ends, finally compromising on the profile or the remuneration just to get started in a job.
Futile Career and Placement Society
Let's be honest, the students of National Law Universities and certain private universities shell out a bomb for making the so-called placement societies get the best of brand names to their universities. As a non-NLU student, you need to understand that it is not the University which organizes placement drives, it is the students which do so.
While DSNLU collects 1000 rupees for brochure creation and placement drive, placement cells in other universities like NLS, NALSAR and NUJS collects 5000 rupees per student for the same. This fund is in turn used for brochure creation, a sustained campaign over several months of contacting, visiting and wooing recruiters, inviting and hosting recruiting partners or officers, and taking care of hospitality for relevant people. This is solely a student-led initiative, which generally goes missing when it comes to a non-NLU.
Most of the times alumni help the students to get their companies or firms to the colleges and they further try to retain them through various engagement programs, like regularly inviting them for various lectures, competitions, and even setting up various committees like arbitration or IPR cell with them. Such effort is usually absent or dysfunctional in a non-NLU.
For the institutes with functional placement cells, there exists huge amount of favoritism or internal politics which does not let you shine out. Even if there are firms which somehow land at your university, they are not worth the hype or are there just for the sake of promotions. There are also cases, where a firm pays a visit to a university just to hire a pre decided intern or pre-recommended student. What's more ironical is such recruitment drives are accompanied by good for nothing GD rounds and showbiz by recruiters who end up paying nothing more than peanuts.
Obsolete modules and course outline
While all other issues are relative, this is one of the major reasons why the companies refuse to hire a student from a non-NLU campus. There is a lack of quality check, control, and continuous reform in the course structure of most conventional law colleges. Most of the universities and law colleges in the country take little or no efforts to update their syllabus or curriculum according to evolving markets or practice areas.
On looking at certain modules from various non-NLUs, the art subjects extend over 6 semesters or more, and important subjects like Company Law and Tax laws, which are needed by any firm are reduced to or wound up in a single semester towards the fag end of their time in college. This is catastrophic, as most of the firms would be reluctant to take in an intern with such limited knowledge, or the performance of a student from such background would be lower than that of the one who has already read about corporate laws by the 4th semester itself. If you learn about corporate laws very late in your college life, it seriously affects the internship opportunities and performance in corporate law firms even if you somehow get selected. As a corollary, those who learn these subjects early get a huge advantage.
Further, the assessment mechanism of an NLU is relatively stricter and focuses on overall development of a student. While a student from an NLU has to undergo a 50 marks worth internal assessment, which includes, research thesis submission, defending the research, presentations, vivas, class assessments, moot courts, weekly tests, etc., a non-NLU student generally just has to write an exam, where more often than not, he is already aware of the 15 questions, which have been recurring in the tests, since the inception of the university.
While the most of the companies look for freshers to come in with updated knowledge and skills, it is appalling to see how the universities don't even attempt to train their students in the same.
If you are a fresher from a Non-NLU and you could relate to any or all of the issues addressed hitherto, I can tell you that all is not lost and you can still make it work.
Question is, are you doing enough to make yourself stand out?
Here are some ideas for you.
Imagine, you are a recruiter. You have 2 candidates scheduled for the final interview. You want to select a first year associate for your M&A team. On one hand you have a presentable NLU graduate, with a good CV, respectable grades, moots, articles and the regular stuff. On the other hand, there is a non-NLU graduate, with normal grades, but tons of articles published around M&A, a series of boutique investment law internships, and amazing knowledge of how the M&A process works, how important clauses in a shareholders agreement are drafted and negotiated, and the fellow clearly keeps up with all the regulatory updates relevant to FDI and investments in general. This level of practical proficiency is unusual for any law graduate, NLU or non-NLU. Remember that topping your class in contract law doesn't mean that you can draft contracts in reality. Recruiters like you are acutely aware of that. Who would you select?
I would be very impressed that a non-NLU graduate has managed to acquire skills of this level, which shows he has the ability to overcome adversities, tremendous discipline and commitment to professional growth, and a well placed focus on what really matters.
Assess yourself. Try to read interviews of success stories of various students from non-NLUs who made the cut and compare it with what you have done during your law course. Especially focus on the last week and last month. Did you do anything important to get ahead of your competition? Do you even have a gameplan to get where you want to get?
Question yourself, if you were a recruiter, why would you recruit your own self when you had someone with a glorious CV from a top NLU, for the very same post. Are you ready to compete with them? Are you doing more than them already?
If you have just started with your law school, now is the time to do everything possible. Debates, moots, research papers, internships and specialized courses. In case you are already late or in your final year, select a specialization area for yourself, and take up one or two relevant courses to gain practical expertise in it. DOn't do course to just decorate your CV. That is a terrible waste of time and money. The guy will better skills will eventually win, now or later. Invest in real skills, not just the CV.
While I was about to start working for a major MNC, they specifically asked for me to take up a course on Derivatives and ISDA, as they want freshers being recruited to have a minimum threshold level of knowledge.
You have to impress your recruiters. What are you doing to be impressive?
Seek exposure, plan it beforehand.
Experience and exposure can be sought anywhere. A student from Pune University, struggling to figure out accommodation, hostel food, and transport, was compelled to collect contributions from his classmates for creating professional resumes and brochure for his college and visited various law firms of the country. He visited the law firms just to get them to have a look at the brochure. In the process, he observed the work culture, processes and the need for exposure which they were not really getting in the university. He sought an internship at one of the firms and got recruited by his sheer hard work. The exposure he gave to himself then, made him what he is today. This is a real-life story of Adv. M.S. Bharath, Senior Partner at Anand and Anand.
Seek an opportunity and make the best use of it. Starting out small is not an issue, and getting started is critical. It doesn't matter if the place you are interning at has not made it to the top 100 list, what matters is you gain an experience and improve your skills day by day. What matters is that you work hard enough for your senior that it becomes stupid for him to not recruit you. You need to make yourself so good that people will create a new post to just hire you when there is no vacancy. If they can't, they will want to recommend you to their friends. It is only through your work and performance that you can make your senior vouch for you.
However, while you start, do not let go of your dream. Chalk down a list of companies or law firms you want to work for. Find out the areas in which they operate, or you could select the target organizations on the basis of your favorite legal genre. While you are working, start reading and gaining expertise from wherever you can. Read up important blogs and subscribe to newsletters. Get your hands on courses like this where you can learn important practical lessons of business law from top lawyers and law firm partners.
Deal with professionals, professionally.
First of all, get your expectations set right. Understand that the promises made by university counselors at the time of admissions are never fulfilled and the Corporate HR will only notice your profile if it is recommended by a top management personnel or a friend. Have a clarity that professionals and students from various universities are in constant struggle to get your dream job along with you.
Keep yourself constantly updated and apply for every opportunity available. Have your Linkedin, Naukri, Monster, Shine.com, and all such profiles up and running. Make sure to call them and get an update on your application. Understand the fact that there are several individuals like you who are applying for the same post and your application might go unnoticed. An application without a call is no application at all and follow up from time to time. Also, don't worry about experienced professionals competing with you provided you have put in all the work that you needed to. A dextrous, smart, hard-working fresher is better than a lazy professional with lots of experience.
Jugaad and Mentorship
While many might resist from recommending "Jugaad," however, it is one of the most respectable and reliable ways to get yourself to your destination. Do you know that top investors never talk to entrepreneurs unless they come armed with good recommendations from successful entrepreneurs? Why should it be any different with lawyers? It is up to you to create valuable connections in the industry and to build lasting relationships. If you can't get a strong recommendation for a job how will you land clients for your law firm later on? If you are a corporate counsel how will you set a meeting with a top Supreme Court lawyer if you can't get a recommendation from the right person? Your recommendation is your biggest testimony. Work hard enough and prove your credibility to compel your senior to recommend you. All it takes is a partner of the firm to forward your CV to the HR, and rest is on your performance at the interview.
Mentorship can also be your great asset on the road to getting your dream job. Find out a mentor who can guide you and help you in your development as a professional. This mentor is someone who would not only train you but also guide you through different stages of your career. Mentorship is so crucial that at iPleaders we introduced mentorship programs for the students of our top courses. To remain a part of this mentorship group, one has to constantly work on themselves through various assignments. This mentorship program is the number 1 reason for the tremendous success of the recruitment program for our online courses. Here you can read the success stories about the many students who got through to various jobs with the help of our internship program.
Make your placement work, yourself.
First, find out objectively how the placement of your last graduating batch has taken place. If your university doesn't offer you placement, then you might want a different approach. It's simple, the university won't give you enough funds, your batch would be busy in internal tiffs and you might not know the right people to get a good recommendation. In that case, you need to get cracking on it immediately.
Figure out places which can help you towards networking. Be it during your internships, mentorships, or through any courses you take, connect with people who are in a position to help you and then figure out what you can do to impress them, get noticed by them, or just simply help them out. Opt for online courses or summer schools that offer student mentor support and internship assistance. See if the online course you are opting for has a strong alumni and mentor base or not, which is a great indicator of how good they will be at providing you recruitment support.
Catch up on practical knowledge that lawyers actually need, not just what law colleges teach.
How can you get practical knowledge? Your college professors probably can't do much about it unless they have worked as corporate lawyers themselves recently. When you are at an internship, treat it as a stage to perform, not as a room for rehearsal. Lawyers you work with do not have the time to teach you basics of practice. You are the one who needs to add value to the lawyers who give you an internship, and the person who gives you an internship owes you nothing. If you think you are going to an internship to learn practical aspects of law as opposed to performing in a way that impresses your superiors, then you have lost the plot.
So what can you do? The answer to it is simple. There are online courses where top lawyers in India teach cutting edge business law lessons like this diploma course. This course is regularly updated, covers every aspect that will benefit your job campaign and is made with an aim to get you started on the path of becoming an extraordinary business lawyer. Before selecting a course though, go through the syllabus and history of the course. Unless people like you have benefited from it previously, the course is probably not worth it. Do your homework!
We recommend that you check out some of the courses by LawSikho here.
The bitter truth is that without a lot of work you are not going to crack into corporate law. However, the good news is that it is very much within your power to achieve. A little bit of hard work, the right kind of practical knowledge and the building the right connections can lead you to your dream workplace. Just find out the correct source for gaining that practical knowledge and learn the ropes before you are ready for the real world.

You have multiple physical Tableau Servers ? or Just one where Tableau Conductor is also running ? Can you elaborate your architecture a bit.
2. Re: Tableau conductor and Tableau BridgeValeria Gómez Sep 27, 2019 11:19 AM (in response to Vikram Gokhale)
Yes, I do have multiple servers,
One is where the information is being received and archived and the other one is where tableau conductor was installed (since this is the new one we will be using from now on), but the data still goes to the first server described cause is comming from an external source and is directed there and we do not have the possibility to change that for now, therefore we are trying to find the way to connect it to tableau conductor on the 2nd server, we though we could use tableau bridge, but have not found the way...
3. Re: Tableau conductor and Tableau BridgeMichael Gillespie Sep 28, 2019 6:24 AM (in response to Valeria Gómez)
Tableau Bridge is used ONLY to connect Tableau Online to a local, on-premise data store. That's it. It won't do what you're trying to do.
I still don't understand the workflow. Do you:
1) Load data into a Tableau Server instance (as what - an extract?). Or is that first server just a server with no Tableau instance?
2) Take the data from that first Tableau Server and load it to the second Tableau Server using...what? How do you make that work?
And you're trying to use Tableau Prep Conductor to move data around? Or transform the data in some way?
Prep Conductor ONLY runs flows that have been built in Prep Builder and published to Tableau Server. It can't initiate anything on its own. So do you have a Prep flow that sources its data from the first server and transforms it in some way for use in the 2nd server?
A detailed breakdown of exactly what you're trying to do, with clear separation of what's happening on the first server and what's happening on the second server, would really help. Do it in Spanish if that helps and we'll deal with the translation on this end (or a Spanish speaker will help!).
4. Re: Tableau conductor and Tableau BridgeValeria Gómez Oct 1, 2019 9:04 AM (in response to Michael Gillespie)
Okay, thank you for taking your time
So, first the info arrived into the old server, wee took it from there as an excel and downloaded the documments in the computer, after that we took those excel sheets and created the flow on Tableau prep (desktop), once I finished the flow I logged in into the new server where tableau prep & conductor are and uploaded the flow, untill then there was no problem.
The flow uploaded just fine and everthing seemed fine, but then I made the test and tried to run the flow, at first it told me that it wasn't possible to run it because it couldn't find the excel sheets,
After that I delated the first flow and moved all the excel sheets into the same carpet where the tableau prep flow was saved as a hyper, after thatI tried to do the same process all over again, but then an error message was sended this time when trying to upload the flow that said that the info wasn't in "the white list" ,
As you can see on the image now I can't upload the flow on the server because of that error,
Kind regards.
Valeria Gómez

Valerie Jarrett Has Moved Into Obama's New DC Home…Nerve Center for Insurgency Against Trump
Daily Mail: Valerie Jarrett Has Moved Into His New DC Home, Which Is Now the Nerve Center for Insurgency Against Trump
By Leon Wagener For Dailymail.com
Published March 2, 2017
Barack Obama is turning his new home in the posh Kalorama section of the nation's capital – just two miles away from the White House – into the nerve center of the mounting insurgency against his successor, President Donald J. Trump.
Obama's goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.
And Obama is being aided in his political crusade by his longtime consigliere, Valerie Jarrett, who has moved into the 8,200-square-foot, $5.3-million Kaloroma mansion with the former president and Michelle Obama, long time best friends.
Jarrett played a vital – if at times low-key – role in the Obama presidency. She lived in the White House, dined with the Obamas, and help shape his domestic and foreign policies.

The guys at EnvyNews have their umpteenth Flash card reader review. They take a gander at the 6-in-1 Portable Card Reader, one of Crucial's four new flash card readers. It's discerning feature – a tuck away cable compartment and door. ... Here's a snip:
"How many times have you downloaded images from your favorite digital camera only to have your camera batteries go flat? Transferring images from a camera to your computer is a very battery intensive task, and unless you use a power adaptor this has probably already happened to you at least once. Flash card readers are nothing new, but today we look at one of Crucial's offerings, their 6-in-1 Portable Card Reader."

I can't see through walls, but I can kick your ass.
I know I have stated this before but again I wonder if we will get this for online preorder seeing there have been no steelbook notifications for example Doctor Sleep, It: Chapter 2, Gemini Man, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Terminator: Dark Fate and list goes on for the titles I missed. I also did not include the rereleases I have seen at Best Buy USA; at any rate this just my humble opinion I guess we can sum this up to since many of these these movies not having a bluray release date in the USA Best Buy CAN is just waiting. But I am just hoping that the 2020 new year we do not see the opposite of 2019 and they go back to only selling retail free steelbook.
Trying to figure out what is happening to the Canadian release of this - the normal versions, let alone any potential for a steelbook. PR was released earlier giving this an official Feb 11 release data, but so for neither BBC or Amazon.ca are listing any versions of it. Sunrise are listing it, but these seem to be stub listings as there's limited detail and no artwork...

We Are Looking
Bible Study & Potluck
Want to Go to Asia
Available Now
How do we really experience the love of Christ? Is there a place of such reckless confidence that we can face GOD with absolutely no sin or guilt whatsoever? How do we find that place where He talks freely to us, where quiet moments shiver with awareness of His presence, where grace so overflows that people look at us and see Him? Where do we learn to actually walk with God? Such a place does exist. Let Dave Diamond lead you there in this easy-to-read, life-changing book.
David & Vijaya Samuel Will Visit USA
David & Vijaya Samuel, my partners in our Asian work, are the wisest and most broadly experienced ministers I know. I have come to love them deeply and look to them as continuous rivers of God's wisdom and grace.
This is the truth: the supernatural simply unfolds around David and Vijaya so that I and others have seen people desperately ill healed, Satanic powers confronted and expelled, and people suddenly experience face-to-face conversations with Christ over the most significant issues of their lives.
Their teaching in my life has been absolutely transformational, and we are currently working to settle their teaching schedule during the proposed June 1-30 visit.
Would you like to help us make this visit a reality? Please consider a gift toward David & Vijaya's expenses and pray that their visas to enter the United States will be secured easily.

YWCA Offers "Safe Sitter" Class
PIQUA — Students ages 11-13 can sign up to become a "Safe Sitter" with a 3 session class beginning Tuesday, July 9, at the Piqua YWCA. Other class times in this session will be held July 16 and July 23. Two class session are available on the July dates: 10 a.m. to noon or 4-6 p.m.
"This program is more than babysitting, but a youth developmental program focusing on safety and life skills," said Jenny Stewart, YWCA Coordinator for the program. "Students will participate in small group interactive learning, role-play games and practice rescue skills with manikins," she added.
Upon completion of this six-hour course, students will be a registered safe sitter. "YWCA volunteers have completed extensive training to be able to teach this program," said Stewart. "We feel that the youth taking the Safe Sitter classes will be better prepared to both babysit and take care of emergency situations at home and in other places too."
Students must attend all three classes in order to be certified. YWCA membership is not required. Fee for the class is $35. Class size is limited so sign up early. Class fees must be paid by Tuesday, June 25, in order to secure a place in the class.

I know I'm a little behind on things that happen at my house, but the past month has been really crazy! First of all it's hard to keep up on everything with Nixon. So many things change with him constantly, he is continually growing and learning new things. He's started to roll all over but not just from his stomach to back, but also back to stomach, so when he's on the floor he rolls until something gets in his way and stops him! He also started eating rice cereal, which he loves! We've always called him our little piggy, he'd eat all the time if I'd let him.
We had fun celebrating Halloween! Kristin and David invited us to go to their trunk-or-treat so we went with them and Brooke had a blast eating, playing the games and going to each car to get candy. There was also a small little "haunted house" (how scary can it be if it's in the church building), but JD went through it with Brooke and Allyse. Brooke didn't care for it and I'm sure Allyse had a great time screaming the whole way through it! Then we went to the carnival for Casey and Amy's ward party. (It was the carnival I talked about it the previous post) Then on Halloween we went to a chili and soup dinner at Casey and Amy's, and after dinner we went trick-or-treating. We had gone about two blocks and Brooke got tired so I got to piggy back her back to the Fraughton's where we watched a movie outside. When she got home she laid down on the couch and fell right asleep. We had a blast stretching Halloween out as long as we could. After Halloween we had a couple little birthday parties for Brooke, one with the Fraughton family and one with the Burns family. For the party with the Fraughtons we made a cupcake cake that looked like a pumpkin, JD really did all the work on this cake! Then for the party with the Burns family Brooke had to have a Barbie cake so she and I had fun decorating it, with her telling me the colors of the dress and what color she wanted the flowers to be on the cake!This past weekend JD and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. It's amazing how fast time flies, but we have loved every minute together. It's amazing all the wonderful experiences you can have in that short period of time. Our favorite ones have been when Brooke and Nixon joined out family. But unexpectedly we found ourselves in Texas on our anniversary. It was not a fun little get away, but rather a very short trip to find a place to live. We will be moving at the end of December. JD got laid of last month, but before that ever happened he was offered a job by a friend that he had met on his mission. Heavenly Father works in very mysterious ways, but we are very grateful for all the blessings that we receive! It was both our first time to go to Texas, so even though it was a quick trip and we had a lot to do, it was fun to see a new place and how pretty other places in the country are! Happy Anniversary JD! I love you!

He decided he needed to fly off to Mexico to find himself or something. Whatever. This wouldn't have been that big of a deal if he hadn't left just as my oldest friend Jessica was arriving into town for a quick visit. She was pissed at the timing, I was pissed that I had to play tour guide in San Francisco which is usually HIS job...so Jessica and I had a little fun on his behalf.
Before going off to make out with his new girlfriend Mexico, Paulie gave me the whole "if I get killed by Mexican drug lords" information schpeel and told me how to get the spare key to his house. I didn't really listen because, duh, I still haven't given back the key he gave me a year ago! Ha, sucker!
The day after Jessica's arrival, we decided to take our food scraps to Paul's place for his chickens. It's one thing to break up with a guy, it's another to break up with his chickens. Come on, I'm not a monster!
While there, we went inside to snag some eggs, where I immediately began obsessing over what was new since I'd last been there (less than a week before). Things like a tiny box sitting on a ledge, the smell of garbage that should go out (but I refused to do it because he's not my boyfriend anymore so he has to do it himself!), and a new duvet cover. A NEW DUVET COVER. I was all "oh hellllll no." It was one of those 'I've been telling him he needs a new duvet cover for a year and now the second I'm gone he gets one?! What the fuck is this Out With The Old (girlfriend) In With The New (duvet cover) bullshit?!' moments.
As things tend to happen with Jessica and I, we decided we needed to send a firm message to Paulie that he can get rid of the bedspread, but he can NEVER get rid of me. Heh heh. So we sent him some pictures.
|I am in your house. I am in your bed.
Paulie lives right across the street from a bakery, and he's got a little hookup there. Since I wanted to impress my friend and was also out of bread, we walked over and I said "watch what I'm about to do." She said "wait, what? What? What's happening?" and I put up my hand and said "just watch."
After those fun shenanigans, I took her to Railroad Square and we toodled around a bit. Here is a sample conversation:
|Thanks for the FREE bread, Paulie!
After those fun shenanigans, I took her to Railroad Square and we toodled around a bit. Here is a sample conversation:
Me: Oh, this is where Paulie and I had our first date.
Jessica: Who?
Me: Paulie. My ex-boyfriend.
Jessica: I...don't know Paulie. Who? Hm. I never met anyone named 'Paulie'
Jessica wanted to go into Disguise the Limit to look at their fun doo-dads. While inside, we found some costumes. And, the rest is history.
Me: Oh my god, we should take a picture of me in this sexy nurse's uniform
Jessica: Haha! Yes! Or this French Maid!
Me: Oh jeez. No, it has to be this sexy Army girl outfit. Paulie...my ex-boyfriend--
Jessica: --who? Who's 'Paulie'? What?
Me: Oh yeah, I don't know if I ever mentioned Paulie before? We um, dated for like a year and a half.
Jessica: Yeah, no, that doesn't ring a bell. Hm, I never met a Paulie, I don't know him....
Me: Yeah, well, he's in Mexico right now, so....
Jessica: Hm, yeah....
Me: Anyway, he has this thing for Army girl stuff, because he once saw a very awkward Debbie Harry performing on Solid Gold in some Army getup or something...
We took the picture. We had to hurry because Jessica was worried that the store employees thought we were shoplifting. In viewing the photo, I can admit with full confidence that Debbie Harry is much hotter than me. In fact I look a little bit crazy. But hey! It was a photo shoot - who cares?!
|Eat your heart out, Debbie!
I'm pretty sure getting these pictures via text from Jessica will be the highlight of Paulie's entire vacation. I mean, come on, Mexico's got nothin' on me!
(He eventually texted Jessica back about our pictures...)
|Good thing he has a sense of humor

Hyundai PH, UP-PGH Roll Out Country's 1st 'Alagang Breastfriend' Mobile Breast Cancer Clinic
HARI Foundation, Inc. (HFI), the corporate social responsibility arm of Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), in partnership with UP-PGH and the UP-PGH Cancer Institute, conducted the first medical mission of the Alagang Breastfriend Mobile Diagnostic Clinic at the UP-PGH grounds. The mission benefitted nearly 40 indigent patients in its first run.
The Alagang Breastfriend Mobile Diagnostic Clinic, the very first of its kind in the country, will be deployed to underserved communities to impart relevant information about breast cancer and offer free screening for early signs of breast cancer. The customized Hyundai H-350 luxury van is equipped with state-of-the-art mammography and breast ultrasound facilities.
Alagang Breastfriend (#AlagangBFF) is HARI Foundation's flagship wellness campaign for women to take charge of their health and so continue to be a driving force for the betterment of society.
Phase 1 of this comprehensive breast cancer awareness campaign consists of a donation of a Hyundai H-350 luxury van, customized into a modern mobile diagnostic clinic to be manned by UP-PGH doctors and personnel.
This initiative has become more relevant at a time as the Philippines tops the list of the highest incidence of breast cancer among Asian countries. Department of Health figures state that one out of every 13 Filipinas can develop breast cancer. Early detection is the key to higher survival rates.
Addressing patients and medical staff, HFI President Maria Fe Perez-Agudo declared, "We are doing something for the Filipina, and ultimately for our nation. We value your presence here today because we see that you value your health. You want to be strong so that you may keep on caring for the people who rely on your love and support."
A noteworthy model
In response, UP-PGH Executive Director Dr. Gerardo Legaspi cited the program as "a good example for screening and preventive care" that other health institutes could follow. "This project was realized just in time with the recent passing of the National Integrated Cancer Control Act and the Universal Health Care Act (UHC)."
The National Integrated Cancer Control Act seeks to promote the health and wellbeing of every Filipino and to cut down by at least 30 percent the incidences of premature death due to cancer and other non-communicable diseases. The UHC aims to provide all Filipinos access to complete, high-quality, and affordable health care services.
In tandem with the screening procedures, a lay forum on breast cancer was held by UP-PGH Cancer Institute Chairman, Dr. Jorge Ignacio, whose dream is to provide charity patients the same care that a private hospital, here or abroad, can offer. "We have so many plans for the Institute," he shares. "That is why it is very important to collaborate with the private sector, like Hyundai in the Philippines, through HARI Foundation. We make the burden of cancer awareness a shared responsibility."
The partners in wellness affirmed that this first medical mission is just the beginning of many more journeys of the Alagang Breastfriend Mobile Diagnostic Clinic. "I look forward to have more mobile diagnostic clinics go around the country to touch more lives and so touch base with more women. I believe that the earlier you get to know your state of health, the earlier you can find a solution," said Agudo.
HARI Foundation, UP-PGH, and UP-PGH Cancer Institute formalized the donation of the Hyundai H-350 through a deed of donation signing and ceremonial turnover ceremony of the Alagang Breastfriend Mobile Diagnostic Clinic on October 25, 2018, in observance of Cancer Awareness Month. The partnership is an important step in fulfilling their shared goal to provide the greater part of society access to important resources and technology that may improve women's overall well-being, and enable them to lead healthier, more productive lives.

New York Nazi Times Calls Mass-Murdering Muslim Terrorist Serving Five Consecutive Life Sentences a "Freedom Fighter"
The New York [Nazi] Times published an article on Wednesday profiling Fadwa Barghouti, the wife of Marwan Barghouti, [an Arab Muslim] terrorist currently serving five consecutive life terms in an Israeli prison for murder.
There is no such thing as "Palestine" or a "Palestinian". It is a lie and a propaganda war intended to destroy Israel the Jewish people. Click here for more information.
Written by Shaina Shealy, the article described Fadwa and Marwan's romance and politics in uncritical terms and even compares Marwan to the late South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela. It warmly portrays Fadwa as a champion for her husband's freedom, notably failing to mention that she also participated in a 2015 march honoring Abu Jihad, a Fatah leader who was implicated in 125 murders. Abu Jihad masterminded multiple terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians in the 1970s and 1980s, including 1978 Coastal Road massacre that claimed the lives of 38 people, including 13 children.
In defending her husband, "Fadwa repeats over and over that Marwan never killed with his own hands," Shealy wrote. "He led, she says, but he never killed." Fadwa's attempted defense seems to bolster Israel's case that Marwan helped orchestrate terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis, rather than carrying them out himself. During his interrogation, Marwan admitted that this was his role.
Marwan was ultimately convicted by a civilian court in May 2004 of his involvement in three terrorist attacks in Israel that killed five people: Yosef Habi (52, from Netanya), Eli Dahan (53, from Lod), policeman Sgt.-Maj. Salim Barakat (33, from Yarka), Yoela Chen (45, from Giv'at Ze'ev), and Greek Orthodox monk Georgios Tsibouktzakis (34, from the St. George Monastery). He was acquitted on charges of 33 other murders due to lack of evidence of direct involvement, with the court noting, "he did not have direct control over the militants but did wield influence."
Despite this, the Times article still described Marwan as a "Palestinian political prisoner" and, in the headline, called him a "Palestinian freedom fighter."
These descriptors appear to violate the Times' own standards. In April, the Times published an op-ed by Marwan and identified him simply as "a Palestinian leader and parliamentarian." In the op-ed, Marwan made no mention of his multiple murder convictions and called the proceedings against him a "political show trial."
After an uproar, the public editor of the Times agreed that Marwan was not properly identified and that this risked "the credibility of the author and the Op-Ed pages." The Times later added an editors' note to the op-ed detailing his convictions.
During this same time period, the Times published several articles about a hunger strike being led by Marwan. When Israeli prison officials released a video showing Marwan eating cookies during his alleged hunger strike, Fadwa was quick to claim that the footage was doctored. The Times ran an article casting doubt on the reliability of the video, quoting Fadwa as a source on the matter. There appears to be no evidence the video was altered in any way.
The Times' apparent affinity for Marwan extends back decades. Shealy's article says that Marwan has "made a name for himself as a freedom fighter." One of the earliest descriptions of Marwan as such is in a 2003 Times article quoting Fadwa, while the description of Marwan as a Mandela-like figure can be found in a 2002 Times op-ed.
After Yasser Arafat's death, the Times cast Marwan in a sympathetic light, calling him "a canny, charismatic figure who built strong ties to Israeli officials as a diplomat and politician in gentler times." At the time, he was considered a potential successor to Arafat, despite his murder convictions. The Times' reporting on Marwan's potential political ambitions was particularly positive.
The Times' op-ed pages have featured multiple articles supportive of Marwan. A 2011 Times op-ed called on Israel to release him from prison, while a 2012 op-ed endorsed Barghouti's strategy for negotiations with Israel.
In The Myth of the Palestinian Mandela, published in the April-May 2017 issue of The Tower Magazine, media analyst Dexter Van Zile criticized efforts to whitewash Barghouti's terrorism convictions and portray him as a "Palestinian Nelson Mandela."
Barghouti certainly did support attacks on civilians, and we know this because he explicitly said so in public. Moreover, he acted according to his beliefs. Prior to his arrest in 2002, he was the leader of Tanzim and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, terrorist organizations responsible for the deaths of dozens of Israeli civilians on both sides of the Green Line. In 2012, Haaretz stated succinctly, "There is no question he supported and encouraged violence." It reported in July 2016 that, as the Second Intifada progressed, Barghouti declared, "The time when only we sacrifice victims is past. We must take revenge. We must kill Israelis. Yes. We have bullets. We have rifles, and they will be aimed at the occupation." He also predicted that the Second Intifada "will be the last round of violence, because the Palestinians have a feeling that they restored their self-respect through the attacks."
Such sentiments were completely foreign to Mandela. In a speech at the 1964 trial that put him in prison, Mandela admitted that he did support the use of sabotage, but only to obtain the rights that had been denied to black South Africans, which they had previously hoped to obtain through non-violent methods. By way of comparison, the Palestinians have used terrorism since the beginning of their national movement, and did so even after they were offered statehood at the 2000 Camp David negotiations.

KOCHI: The Guruvayur Dewaswom on Monday permitted Vyshakh, the physically challenged youth, to enter the Sree Krishna temple in his own wheel chair.
The authorities, on Sunday, did not allow him to go in using his own wheel chair. According to the authorities, the acting manager of the board, Pavithran (who was taking care of temple affairs in the absence of manager K.P. Haridas, who is on leave) did not allow Vyshakh to use his own wheel chair.

As the news about Sunday's incident spread, authorities sprung into action and traced Vyshakh and his parents. They apologised for the
Vyshakh, who hails from Kannur, had even sought the help of CPI-M leader E.P. Jayarajan, who directed the temple manager to allow Vyshakh inside. But the manager did not budge.
While the temple authorities insisted that Vyshakh use the wheel chair belonging to the temple, he (Vyshakh) was particular in using his own, as "the temple's wheel chair was not alright and Vyshakh felt it would be a risk for him to sit in it due to his overweight".

Now that the summertime is here it's time to keep your eyes protected from the sun and other warm weather dangers.
Here are some tips to safe in the sun:
- Buy glasses that offer proper UV protection. If your glasses don't have 100% UV protection to guard your eyes from the dangers of UV exposure, they may be resulting in more harm than benefit. It's important to keep in mind that 100% UV protection doesn't necessarily cost more – plenty of cheaper brands give complete UV blockage.
- Opt for larger sunglasses. When it comes to UV defense, think big. When possible, opt for shades with wraparound frames and wide lenses.
- Wear a wide brimmed hat or visor. While glasses are a great first defense, a large hat will give you the extra defense you need to shade your eyes from harmful UV rays.
- Wear sunglasses when the sun is hidden. Even when the sun is behind the clouds, UV can still reach your eyes and cause damage. Don't be fooled by a cloudy day.
- Invest in a sturdy sunglasses case. Sunglasses can easily be scratched, broken or lost. It's worthwhile to keep them in a closed case to minimize mishaps.
- Drink enough. Consuming at least 2 liters of water each day will not only keep you and your skin hydrated but it will ensure your eyes are hydrated as well.
- Stay away from the afternoon sun. Stay inside as much as possible especially between the hours of 11 am and 3 pm when the strength of the sun and ultraviolet radiation in the atmosphere are at a peak.
- Consider polarized lenses. Since they reduce glare from reflective surfaces, polarized lenses are great for water-based activities and driving.
- Use swimming goggles to safeguard your eyes from bacteria in the water or chemicals. Since the sun's rays reflect off water you can increase exposure to UV so get goggles that block UV as well.
- Be careful not to apply sunscreen too close to the eyes as it can enter the eye and burn.

Bob Reeves at The Treehouse Saturday night 9/6
Sat. Sept. 6, 7 pm, The Treehouse reading series features poet Bob Reeves, 2nd floor of Sumner & Dene Gallery, 517 Central Ave NW in downtown Albuquerque. Signup begins at 6:30 for Open Mic at 7 pm, feature at approx. 8 pm
(Please note this is a change from their usual 2nd Saturday date in order not to conflict with the STIR Festival)
Here's what organizer Adam Rubenstein says:
BOB REEVES has been a somewhat indigestible part of the Albuquerque poetry scene unsteadily since 1993. All the while he's managed to pull off a suspiciously authentic masquerade as a part-time professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at UNM and CNM, but keeping under the radar enough to publish his poems in such places as Fulcrum, Arsenic Lobster, Skidrow Penthouse and Permafrost. He edited the local zine Willow Street in 2000-2001 and helped produce Central Avenue from 2002 to 2007. His girlfriend and two cats allow him to live in their house, where he watches way too many movies.
A sample of his work:
two kids
he's one
& keeps saying his sister's name
over & over
she's three
& keeps answering "What!"
with more & more annoyance
she's learned
that names are beckonings
he's only learned
that names are bursts of praise

Dime, nickel or a quarter – nothing holds as great value in the market of coins as that of silver dollars. With artifacts, designing and the precious metal, silver dollar is a profound expression of luxury undefined. And with the growing popularity that silver is gaining in today's time, it is important to notice that people who have heavily invested in silver are prone to some good returns.
Selling and purchasing of silver dollars has become a ritual for the small time investors. These fill the people with a sense of security that something flexible and easily convertible to cash exists as an investment option. But before you are ready to invest in silver, here is what you should know!
90% silver coins
These are the solicited choices of people who want to invest into silver. With purity so high, these were the most chosen composition for the U.S. dollars like dime, quarters and dollars designed before 1964. While there are exceptions of some timely coins, mostly the coins made before 1965 were designed with 90% silver composition. These prove to be great investments if you find a credible collection from a time that truly held importance in the pages of history.
American Silver Eagles
Silver investors and collectors heavily demand the American silver eagles dollars for their collection. These were special compositions that were issued by the government. With over 27 years of continuous manufacture and trading of the American silver eagle dollars, there are millions of coins rolling in the world today. The ones made in the year 1986, however, hold the most significance for investments. The bullion market buys these silver dollars in sets of 20 and heavily pays for the coins. An investment into these coins is only set to rise in the future. If you have one – you have a shining future in hand!
Morgan Silver dollars
From 1878 to 1904 Morgan silver dollars were the most popular coins to have been minted. These were composition of 90% silver and .774 troy which was beautified and released by government with high production values. As the coins got rare after the end of production, it started increasing its value. Today these are exceptionally in demand.
Investment into silver dollars needs a careful understanding of the compositions of the silver coins of the early times and finding great places to buy them. These coins have special marks and dates on them which speak of their authenticity and numismatic value.

2nd Amend.
Ex Post Facto – Connecticut's "Assault Weapon" Ban Is Blatantly Unconstitutional
Clearly, Connecticut's law is an ex post facto law. It is a criminal statute prescribing criminal penalties.
Check it out:
As regular readers—and other sentient beings—know, the "Constitution State," the state of Connecticut, has recently passed a law outlawing firearms and accessories—particularly magazines with greater than ten rounds capacity—that were previously entirely unremarkable and lawful. This law, and the potential for the deadly abuse of law-abiding citizens in the enforcement of it, have greatly concerned Americans. I've played some small part in informing that concern with a series of articles beginning with: "Connecticut: The Coming Storm."
Connecticut's law seems prima facie unconstitutional in that it is arguably a direct assault on the Second Amendment. It essentially outlaws an entire class of firearm, which is made more egregious by the fact that the class—AR-15 type rifles—is the most popular in contemporary America. The Supreme Court's Heller decision noted that firearms usually and commonly in use are not subject to bans. The fate of magazine capacity limits is not quite so clear, but surely at some point, restricting the number of cartridges available to free men in defense of themselves, their families, their state and their nation must run afoul of the Second Amendment.

Loveladies — The "LandWorks" exhibit, currently at the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences until July 14 and curated by LBIF's Lydia Owens, recognizes the 50th anniversary of an "Earthworks" exhibit held at LBIF in 1969 that contained a surprising number of soon-to-be-famous artists. Those with the best name recognition would be Christo, who with Jeanne-Claude would create the 23-mile-long "The Gates" installation in Central Park, sculptor Robert Smithson and composer Phillip Glass.
The current exhibit of 16 international artists continues the themes of that early "Earthworks" exhibit: site-specific installations; use of environmental subject matter such as Smithson's "Spiral Jetty," a 1,500-foot-long spiral made of rocks, mud and salt crystals built in 1970 in Utah's Great Salt Lake; and performance art like Glass' minimalist music of recurring sounds.
Tom Moran, chief curator for Grounds for Sculpture, a 42-acre sculpture park located in Hamilton, was invited to lay the historical groundwork of the exhibit. Moran's lecture was originally prepared in 2017 for an audience in China, many of whom were seeing American sculptures for the first time.
Moran gave a quick overview of Grounds for Sculpture that was once the site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds. When Johnson and Johnson pharmaceutical heir Seward Johnson first saw the site it was "a flat tableau of broken concrete, stunted plants and abandoned buildings," said Moran. "It also had been a NASCAR racetrack and had a total of 13 trees."
Grounds for Sculpture had its 25th anniversary in 2015 and continues to be one of the premier places where contemporary, large-scale sculpture is on public view.
Surprisingly, many of the "Earthworks" and "LandWorks" artists are from New Jersey and many created art in New Jersey – in particular, in the Meadowlands. "Artists seem to be captivated by the vast grasslands," said Moran.
For instance, sculptor Isaac Witkin, an assistant to Henry Moore, lived and worked in Pemberton. He created steel sculptures by casting them in sand. Ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu taught at Princeton and had a home and studio in Quakertown. She created huge domed pots that resemble silkworm cocoons; she is often credited as creating the ceramic fine arts movement. Renowned female sculptor Louise Nevelson got her start in Princeton when the university purchased her large wooden assemblage.
Steve Tobin lives and has his studio just over the Delaware in Pennsylvania and has many sculptures installed in Grounds for Sculpture. His "Trinity Roots" sculpture, for which he cast the network of tree roots from the large tree at Trinity Church in lower Manhattan that was destroyed in the 9/11 attacks, garnered him worldwide recognition. His series of "Steel Roots" made of tubular steel takes command of hillsides at Grounds for Sculpture. The fluid lines set in the earth appear to be marching across them.
Moran talked of how artists in the late '60s and '70s were trying to break into the New York art world that was still entranced with the abstract expressionists of the 1950s: Joseph Stella's paintings of the Brooklyn Bridge, Jackson Pollack's drip or action paintings. The new art movements were gaining attention: Ellsworth Kelly's op art, the pop art of Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, the combined assemblages of Robert Rauschenberg, minimalism of sculptor Donald Judd, hard-edge painting of Joseph Stella and color field paintings of Mark Rothko. NYC was the new epicenter of the art world and was awash with money, explained Moran. "Earth artists were looking for a way to penetrate this."
Smithson, from Clifton, started his art career as a minimalist like Judd but quickly changed to conceptualism and site-specific artworks. He was interested in cartography, geography and how man has changed the natural world and landscape. He coined the term "land art." Smithson and wife Nancy Holt traveled the world looking for sites to alter. In 1969 in Italy, he transformed a rock quarry by dumping a truckload of asphalt down the cliff side. "Asphalt Rundown" was captured in photographs and drawings, the only way to sell the work. He was also enthralled with placing mirrors in the landscape and altering the view with reflections.
Smithson's "Partially Buried Woodshed" in Kent, Ohio, was his take on what geological time will do to all manmade constructions.
At the same time, artist Carl Andre, a brakeman for the Pennsylvania Railroad that went through the New Jersey Meadowlands, began his sculptural work by positioning materials on the ground. His philosophy that "sculpture is place" helped to formalize the land art movement. One artist who worked in the early land art movement is Charles Simondo, from Sayreville, who builds "Lost Cities" cast in concrete and installs them on decaying urban landscapes and in the Meadowlands. The small sculptures are akin to the Pueblo cliff dwellings of the Southwest. Another is Richard Serra, whose "Tilted Arc," a linear barrier across a federal plaza, was finally dismantled after protests. Women artists include Beverly Pepper, who defined a landscape by mounding and forming earth with steel barriers, and Maya Lin, whose famous Vietnam War Memorial is in Washington, D.C.
Martha Schwartz has done more to combine art with landscape design than any other artist. Her design firm has worked all over the world to install parks and enhance public spaces. In New York, she designed the circular benches around self-misting grass mounds at the Jacob Javits Center. Schwartz is one of the 16 contemporary artists showcased in the "LandWorks" exhibit at LBIF.
Nicole Dextras is a Vancouver artist whose works in ice and their subsequent melting draw attention to climate change. Her work is presented in photos, the medium that is most appropriate for ephemeral works such as hers.
A number of artists experiment with light in the landscape. Sunil Garg has created both indoor and outdoor installations for the LBIF. His five wonky triangles, "Is It/It Is," set along LBIF's nature trail, gleam in the night marsh. Darren Pearson delights us with his skeletons and dinosaurs made out of light by stop-action photography. Reuben Wu's "Lux Noctis" are site-specific works captured in film. He goes to remote landscapes and lights them with halos created by drones.
Alejandro Durán's work in the field identifies plastic waste that has washed ashore at a UNESCO World Heritage site in Mexico. He uses the plastic from 58 nations to create color-based, site-specific constructions there – filling rock crags and tide pools with plastic bottle tops for "Found Objects."
Thomas Jackson's hovering installations create "an uneasy interplay between the natural and the manufactured," like his image of orange plastic cups exploding out of a lush green hillside.
David Rubin's "The Healing Waters" installation mimics a rippled riverbed at a NYC hospital and is an accessible fountain for those who need assistance to move.
Ken Smith's landscape architecture "addresses contemporary urbanism, social and environmental conditions." He has created a site-specific work, "Ghost Trees," in the forest surrounding the LBIF's nature trail. Smith will speak on Friday, July 12 at 5 p.m., followed by an artists' reception at 6 p.m. "LandWorks" closes on Sunday, July 14.
