Black Memory. African Futures. We came to build.

About Us

The archive cannot be decolonised - it is too tangled up with imperialism. But the archive must be decolonised. We must control our own image - past, present and future.

In trying to achieve the impossible, we will create something beautiful.  We will change our narrative. History will heal.

We work creatively across formats and across the senses. When we face the past we understand the present. When we understand the present we shape our future.

We sample the archive. We sample what we deem appropriate and co-create spaces which influence future ways of being.

Our aim is to sustain and share our collective memory. To do this we consider:

What is the heritage?  Why is it important? What is the context? How can the memory be sustained?

Culture is philosophy as lived and celebrated in a society.

The Sirius B star is important in several African cosmologies. It has been linked to ideas of renovation and origins. Ancient and modern African peoples had knowledge of Sirius B long before its discovery by western science in the 20th century and have passed this knowledge down through generations in both written and oral forms. The Sirius B story is one of many examples of the sophistication of African understandings.

The Sirius B Detoxification Station is a temporary intervention run in collaboration with the Africa Centre. It is an interactive platform, drawing on the breadth and depth of African heritage to provide functional spaces for wellbeing. The programme explores renovation, healing, time and temporal shifts, engaging various frameworks drawn from the African/Diaspora experience.

Widget ImageDeep Purple Summerfest Show Review

June 30, 2005

Deep Purple

Summerfest, Milwaukee, WI
June 30th, 2005

Summer in Wisconsin can only mean one thing . . . Milwaukee’s Summerfest! Billed as “The World’s Largest Music Festival” it runs from June 30th to July 10th in 2005 and features no less than 9 stages and over 800 performances. As a long time DEEP PURPLE fan, I was thrilled to see they were playing Summerfest and on Opening Day no less.

As a veteran concert goer each venue I attend provides its own unique set of circumstances that need to be considered when attending a show so Summerfest is no exception. Just like any other venue concerts on the Summerfest grounds have their pros and cons but on a much grander scale. For example . . .

Eight of the 9 stages are general admission so if you really want to be right up front to see a particular band the chances are good if you are willing to arrive before the other 100,000 plus folks who make the daily pilgrimage to the grounds.

If you arrive early enough to secure a great seat for the show you have only cleared the first of many hurdles, the next one is enduring the “wait.” I arrived around 3:30PM at the end of SOUTHBOUND’s set to score a front row seat stage left. Not bad but DEEP PURPLE wasn’t scheduled to take the stage until 8:30PM.

With a mere five hours to kill in 90 degree weather and sitting on a metal bench anchored to asphalt pavement people watching becomes the only means by which to keep your sanity. The Summerfest grounds provide a smorgasbord of people to ogle however five hours is a long time to ogle anything. It is also a long time to sit next to people who you either don’t know or quickly make the determination that you don’t like.

The Summerfest opening bands can sometimes make those five hours go by a little faster or they can turn five hours into what seems like five years. Case in point the band performing after SOUTHBOUND was OIL CAN HARRY. I’ve heard good things about their shows around southeastern Wisconsin prior to seeing them for the first time and thought they were a fun festival cover band with an eclectic set list including many 80’s staples. They even played Ace Frehley’s “New York Groove” which was totally random and even had ME singing. The crowd had fun by shouting “Johnny Bravo” at one of the lead singers/guitarists because of his striking resemblance to the cartoon character.

The next band to take the stage was BAD WIZARDS out of New York. Their record company, Tee Pee Records, describes their music as “a head spinning squall of purple powered, deep-fried, 70’s chicken shack power fuzz, part street metal, part garage punk, part super soul shakedown that makes your skeleton dance to a song that your flesh does not know”. That description was very accurate but the huge crowd gathering for DEEP PURPLE didn’t seem to appreciate them. The lead singer, Curtis Brown, who reminded me of a young Joe Cocker in appearance and mannerisms, didn’t appreciate the crowd in return. As he introduced guitarist Tina Gorin to the audience he questioned why the crowd couldn’t applaud any louder for her since they just did for a band that played “JOURNEY songs.” The word choice Curtis shouted out over the PA system was a bit harsher though than mine written here.

Most of the Summerfest’s nine stages are in the middle of the grounds so that means the backstage entrances are too! As band members arrive in the late afternoon via vans crowds of people gather around for the rare autograph and photo opportunities that are usually only available to a chosen few at other venues. The musicians are easier to meet here than most places so this is one major pro Summerfest has going for it. Unfortunately, in order to meet the rock stars you have to leave your seat for an extended period of time. Unless you made friends with some of the people “you either don’t know or quickly make the determination that you don’t like” your seat will be swallowed up by the sea of humanity.

As the time neared for DEEP PURPLE to take the stage what once was a metal bench to sit on became a perch to stand on while others who may have arrived later try to fill in any vacant holes in the crowd. DEEP PURPLE took the stage promptly at 8:30 and my five-hour “wait” and third degree sunburn quickly disappeared from my mind. On the last few tours the band had chosen to open with songs other than the staple of “Highway Star”. Tonight they started the set with “Silver Tongue” from their most recent studio release 2003’s “Bananas.” They quickly launched into “Woman from Tokyo” followed by “Strange Kind of Woman” which satisfied the crowd’s thirst for classic DP.

The band continued mixing songs from the “Bananas” CD with classics such as “Perfect Strangers”, “Space Truckin’”, and “Smoke on the Water”. The highlight of the show was former DIXIE DREGS guitarist Steve Morse’s instrumental entitled “Contact Lost.” He was inspired to write the song because of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster a few years ago. The combination of his finger work on the strings and his footwork on the pedals held the audience captive for several minutes as they felt his music.

Morse is truly an under appreciated guitarist in the music industry and the same can be said for keyboardist Don Airey who has done an admirable job replacing the legendary Jon Lord a few years ago. The other members of DEEP PURPLE have been receiving their well-deserved musical accolades for decades now; they include lead singer Ian Gillan, bassist Roger Glover and drummer Ian Paice.

The 105-minute set came to a close with “Lazy” and “Hush” as the encore numbers. Overall DEEP PURPLE truly appreciated the enthusiastic Summerfest crowd that gathered at the Miller Oasis stage and said so on numerous occasions. Now I need to figure out what time I have to be here tomorrow morning to secure my spot for Tom Petty!

A University Real Estate Appraiser and Appraisal Services Company.

University Appraisal Services

Quality, Professional, and Fast University Appraisal Services

A University Real Estate Appraiser and University Real Estate Appraisal Services Company.
About Our Appraisal Services
Quality University appraisals are one of our two top attributes.
Why is quality important? A lot can depend on appraisal credibility.  For example, in a bankruptcy or divorce a judge may have to decide which appraisal is the best defended and most reasonable. Their decision may result in a difference in hundreds of thousands of dollars to a financially troubled family.  A high quality University appraisal from Brian Ward Appraisal is your best option to protect what is rightfully yours.

We pride ourselves on producing the most credible appraisal reports that will stand up to scrutiny and for being an exceptional partner that will rigorously defend our work and critically evaluate others’ appraisals, should you need help beyond your appraisal.
Our other top attribute is customer satisfaction.
Many times people are not sure which appraisal service they need or do not fully understand the appraisal process. We are always happy to spend the time with you to explain your options and to help you make the decision that best suits your needs. Throughout the process, even after the appraisal has been delivered, we are here to discuss our work with you until you feel confident that you have received an appraisal at the standard you expect.
What else can you expect?
• Your University appraisal will be completed by an appraiser, not a trainee or other unlicensed staff.
• Your University appraisal will be completed in a few days, not weeks.
• We will be on time for our appointment with you in University.
• There are no hidden fees.  What you are quoted is what you will pay for an appraisal in University.
• Your University appraiser will be licensed or certified and insured for a minimum of $1,000,000.

 女王明年将会放大权给梅根,破王室不和传言_英语阅读_VOA英语网 - 俄罗斯世界杯投注官网

Being a member of the royal family must get a little tricky around the holidays. Well, just what exactly do you buy for your loved ones when they're literally in line to the throne? Luckily, Queen Elizabeth II is kind of an expert at it all by now, and she's reportedly planning to hand over the perfect gift to her granddaughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, in the New Year.

Royal sources claim that Her Majesty is set to pass on one of her royal patronages to the Duchess of Sussex. Patronages are the beloved charities and good causes that the Queen has chosen to become a patron of over the years, so it's kind of a big deal and a huge compliment that she's expected to deliver the mantle to Meghan in the upcoming weeks.

With the Queen and the Duchess having reportedly sat down recently to discuss the possibilities of patronage, over a warm cup of tea at the palace (the most British ever?), it's thought that “discussions are ongoing” regarding the exact causes that Meghan will take on next year.

The idea of passing on a patronage makes total sense, as Meghan herself is yet to formally announce the names of the charities that she herself plans to become a patron of.

Looking for a few early hints as to her choices? The Duchess has already met with causes including the Campaign for Female Education, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, and the National Theatre. Meghan will then visit each of the organizations before giving birth to her and Prince Harry's first baby in the spring.

The Queen, who is patron to the small matter of over 600 charities, previously handed over 25 of her roles to Princes Harry and William, as well as Kate Middleton, in an effort to lessen her workload a little ahead of her 90th birthday.

The Long, Troubled Road to Today’s Bosnia

January 4, 2008

Rooftop Statues in SarajevoFollowing Austria-Hungary’s control of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, there were a string of political and social reforms mandated, which were intended to make Bosnia and Herzegovina an exceptional colony. While reforms in politics and generally modernization were quite successful, Austro-Hungarian rule brought about rising nationalism amongst the South Slavs.

Onset of WWI
In 1908, the area of Bosnia-Herzegovina was formally annexed, and the nationalist movement became even more fervent and urgent. On June 28, 1914, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is considered to have been the trigger of World War I. After Princip assassinated the Archduke, Austria declared war on Serbia. What followed was an ever-increasingly complicated alliance system that eventually ignited conflict. Russia supported Serbia after Austria declared war, and Germany followed suite by supporting Austria against Serbia . France supported Serbia, prompting Germany to attack France. After Germany attacked France through the Belgium area, England declared war on Germany. Remarkably, all of these events took place between July 28 and August 14, 1914.

World War I affected the Balkans rather drastically. Croatians chose to fight alongside Germany and Austro-Hungary, as well as most of the Bosnians. Serbs fought with the allies, and after the war, a substantial number of Bosnian-Serbs were forced to leave Bosnia and resettle in Montenegro and Serbia.

Following World War I, Bosnia and Herzegovina were annexed to Serbia in October of 1918 as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which was later renamed as Yugoslavia in 1929. Again, nationalism increased amongst Serbians and Croatians alike. During this time, Bosnia and Herzegovina faced a period of great oppression, stimulated by cultural conflicts, religious struggle, and general tension and intolerance.

In 1939, as a result of the Cvetkovic Agreement, one area in Bosnia was connected with the Banland of Croatia. Germany invaded Yugoslavia in 1941, and Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of Nazi-controlled Croatia. In November 1943, Bosnia and Herzegovina became a single state again. One of the six republics under the leader Marshall Tito, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Yugoslavian Communist nation.

After Tito died in 1980, Yugoslavia weakened. In December 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina left Yugoslavia and requested recognition by the European Union. In March of 1992, the votes were in, and they supported independence. With a rich ethnic diversity of Muslims, Serbs, and Croats (and no true ethnic majority), conflict arose quickly between the groups as they attempted to divide the region.

With both the Serbs and Croats laying claim to the Bosnian region, complications developed. Ethnic cleansing occurred as Muslims were pushed out of the area and Croatians began developing their own communities in the area. The war continued until NATO intervened in August 1995. Approximately 250,000 people are though to have died in this wartime period of 1992-1995.

1995 onwards in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s history marked a serious attempt to rebuild the economy and create a government the people could trust. While a scandal erupted in 1999, corruption marred some attempts to build a stronger Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In 2004, NATO relinquished its peacekeeping mission to the European Union. This undertaking, the largest peacekeeping operation for the EU in history, has contributed largely to the more tolerant and stable climate of current Bosnia and Herzegovina. Much of the damage of the war has been repaired, and Bosnia and Herzegovina looks forward to a period of prosperity.

Temperature Monitoring System

To monitor the temperature reading and maintain temperature of a device by utilizing cooling fan.

This projects is divided into 3 – units,
1) Microcontroller
2) A/D Conversion
3) Sensing Unit
4) Display Unit

Both Celsius or Fahrenheit supported...

1) Microcontroller:

Which is the core of this project, here we are utilizing PIC 16F877A microcontroller. This detects the ADC data and calibrates the values and control the cooling fan.

2) A/D Conversion:

This part is taking control of getting the temperature analog values to programmable digital signals.

3) Sensing Unit:

This section is having the temperature sensor to sense the temperature level in the device.

4) Display Unit:

The temperature levels in the device are displayed through display unit (LCD).

Over view of projects:

In this project temperature is maintained for device by utilizing cooling fan. Temperature of the device is sensed by the temperature sensor and the sensed equivalent analog temperature value is given to the ADC section of the microcontroller the ADC value is analyzed. If the maintained temperature value is out of range then motor driver drives the cooling fan to maintain temperature in range.

Temperature Calibration

The temperature sensor is typically accurate to within 2ºC before calibration. To improve accuracy, you will need an extension cable between the circuit board and the sensor as well as ice-water slurry. Place the sensor in the slurry and measure its output voltage using a voltmeter. Use the measured value in the following correction factor:

K=2.73/measured value

Multiply your raw A/D readings by this correction factor to improve the precision of your temperature measurements

Here are the points that I take from this article...
  1. Lincoln is Republican. He frees the slaves and pisses-off the south. The south votes Democratic for several decades.
  2. Lyndon Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act in 1964. This ends state-sponsored segregation and pisses-off the south. The south says "Hey, maybe Republicans ain't so bad."
  3. Since 1964, the south has steadily grown to be more Republican in the House and Senate.
  4. Now the Republican party gets over half of it's support in national elections from the south and they are becoming a regional party, just as the Democratic party was after Lincoln.
It appears that both parties have experienced southernization in their history.

Suffering Luna

Suffering Luna
Image Unavailable
Origin Los Angeles, California, United States
Genres Psychedelic Hardcore, Powerviolence, Crust Punk, Sludge
Years active 1990-present

Suffering Luna was formed as Christfall in the 1990s at the edge of the powerviolence, crust, and sludge scenes in Los Angeles. Rooted as much in hard drugs and inner-city drama as in punk and metal, Suffering Luna played and recorded infrequently for their first several years. Friends and fans of Suffering Luna in bands including Dystopia, Despise You, Lack of Interest, and Gasp did their best to help them get their music out, but drugs, crime, paranoia, and homelessness kept the band from ever reaching the number of fans they deserved or reaching their creative potential. Shows were broken up by cops, recording masters were confiscated after band members tagged up the recording studio, and fearing he was being chased by demons, singer Messee kept changing the name of the band and refused to sing any of the band's songs that he believed called the demons to him. Considering the instability of band members' lives, it was inevitable that by the end of the 1990's, the band would be broken up with original members either joining the military, finding God, or ending up on the streets. They left behind them a split 7" with Dystopia on Pessimiser Records (reissued on Life is Abuse / Misanthropic Records), a split 12" with Gasp on Deep Six records, and a scattering of live bootlegs and unfinished studio demos.

In 2009, more than a decade later, Messee and original bassist Taz reunited with friend and sometimes collaborator, Mitch Brown. When Suffering Luna's original guitarist said he was committed to leaving that old life behind him, Messee, Taz, and Mitch invited Sean Socco from '90s powerviolence band Scalp-Lock to replace him. The new Suffering Luna began working on updating the psychedelic hardcore sound they had pioneered 15 years earlier. They released a self titled lp on To Live a Lie Records that was hailed by Reggie Rosales of Gasp as "the comeback record of the century" and was included on one of Maximum Rock and Roll's "10 Best Records of 2011" lists. One year later they released a follow up ep called "Blood Filled Bong" on To Live a Lie Records and Grindcore Karaoke. Since 2009, Suffering Luna has also returned to playing shows around L.A., sharing the stage with bands such as Hellbastard, Vitamin X, Lack of Interest, and Stapled Shut. The L.A. Weekly has described Suffering Luna shows as "grueling, paranoid affairs that burn their way into trance."

Brushing your dog

Regular brushing at home not only helps reduce the cost of professional grooming but also has other advantages. Your petâ€™s coat and skin will be healthier, and regular close attention may alert you sooner to any developing physical problems your pet may have.

The â€œquality timeâ€ spent brushing your pet will enhance

the relationship you both have and promotes â€œbonding.â€ In the wild, grooming among pack members is an important social behavior. Your dog already knows this. You may not have realized it but every time your dog licks you or rubs its face against you, it is (in a sense) â€œgroomingâ€ YOU!

Poor equipment is ineffective and frustrating and can actually injure your pet. Throw out worn or broken brushes and combs with teeth that are bent or missing.

A gentle slicker brush helps break up tangled hair and will put a nice fluffy finish on the coat. A solid metal comb enables you to remove tangles, reaching the base of the coat where most matting starts.

Place the dog on a firm, non-slip surface above the floor (a tub mat placed on a washer or drier is perfect). Start by combing the dog with the coarse teeth of the comb. Pay special attention to the chest area between the front legs and under and behind the ears. Comb a second time with the medium teeth. Work mats, tangles and burrs by dividing small sections at a time. Finish by brushing the coat with a slicker brush.

Dom of North Africa
An Overview

by C.F. Thomas

During the last few decades interest has been high regarding the Gypsy or Romany people--especially those from Eastern Europe. Much has been written concerning their origins, language, culture and certainly their suffering during the holocaust in World War Two.

Little research has been done however and even less written dealing with those of this ethnic group who live in North Africa. This study is a first step in filling that gap. The geographical area covered herein includes the countries of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia. These are countries where Gypsy presence is either established, suspected or rumored.

The following is a preliminary study and is intended to be only that: an initial look at this topic. It is hoped that the circulation of this document will solicit additional information and corrections for enhancing and updating these findings. Later a more complete study will be done which will include field research from the countries involved.

One final introductory remark: For clarity sake and in an attempt to differentiate from other groups, the Gypsies of North Africa as well as those in the Middle East will be referred to generally as "Dom." This comes from the word in their language (Domari) which means "man" and is often used by them as a self-designation. Gypsies in Europe and elsewhere will be referred to as Rom and their language as Romani.

The English word "Gypsy" is believed by many to be a shortened form of the word "Egyptian." This idea connects with some accounts of early Romany migrations into Europe and their claim at the time to be from Egypt. There is almost no historical evidence to support such an idea though one group in Albania today is known as "Evgit" or Egyptian Gypsies.

Little is known about the specific origins of the Gypsy peoples of North Africa. It has been suggested that the Haleb and Nawar of Egypt probably migrated there from Syria. Both Ralph Turner and John Sampson, early Romani linguists, speak of basically three branches of Gypsy migration: the Lom into Western Asia, the Rom into Europe and the Dom into the Middle East.

Since one group, the Ghagar tribe, migrated back to Egypt from Europe others might have done the same. It is more likely however that the majority of the Dom in North Africa were an extension of the early migration of groups out of India and into the Middle East.

Scholars have cited numerous reasons for the migration of the Gypsies out of India but for these peripatetic groups, economic factors were likely the strongest. Some have also suggested the slave trade by Turks as a reason for the arrival of Gypsies in Africa. It is true that later European Rom were forcibly taken to other parts of Africa to work in the German and Portuguese colonies.

Many North African Dom live in the poorer districts of large cities or in modest conditions in rural areas. Others live in tents and have a lifestyle similar to the Bedu or Bedouin of the region. One interesting study on this subject was done by Nabil Sobhi Hanna and is entitled "Ghagar of Sett Guiranha: A Study of a Gypsy Community in Egypt."/1/ Therein the writer describes a group of Dom who live in a rural setting. As late as forty-five or fifty years ago, however, they still lived in tents and followed a more nomadic life style. Today their major occupations are entertaining, smithing, tinkering, trading and wool work. Other groups in North Africa are known to earn their living as day-laborers, watchmen and fortune tellers while some survive as beggars or thieves.

With regard to religion, it should be noted that many North African Gypsies or Dom are more than nominal Muslims. It is reported that some have even made the pilgrimage to Mecca, or Haj. No known groups of Dom Christians or churches have been found.

Traditional Gypsy languages are Indo-Aryan and have their origins in Sanskrit. The language of the Dom of North Africa is known as Domari. It was first recorded by Seezeen in 1806 and at that time it already contained many Arabic loan words. The grammar, however, remained essentially Indian.

Various sources have shown that the Dom of North Africa employ a large number of Arabic loan words when speaking Domari. The use of loan words is a common phenomenon in many languages and certainly the Romani speakers of Europe have borrowed words from the languages of their host countries.

Domari may further be broken down into a number of sub-groups or dialects. Two of these main dialects are Halebi and Nawari (or Nuri.)

Afrikaya A group of Gypsies reported to be living in Algeria. These are possibly Manouche or French-speaking Gypsies originally from France.

Gaodari A group listed in Egypt and shown on a map entitled the "Probable Lines of the First Gypsy Immigrations" in Clebert's book./2/

Ghagar (or Nagar) Donald Kenrick mentions them as "a Gypsy tribe in Egypt who migrated back from Europe. The men are blacksmiths while the women work as rope-dancers, tattooists and singers. They live in the towns in the winter, and form a distinct group in Egypt."/3/

Ghawazee (or Ghawazi) are the well-known female dancers of Egypt. They are traditionally from the Quen area and are a subgroup of the Nawar.

Haleb (or Heleb) Kenrick says "the name comes perhaps from the town of Aleppo. They are considered to be a long-established group in Egypt and Libya. The men sell animals and act as vets and the women tell fortunes."/4/

Hanager (or Nagara) A field survey by the Dom Research Center found the term Hanager used as a designation for a sub-group of the Nawar in Egypt.

Nawar (or Nawwar, Nowar, Nuar, Nuwar) This group's name is an Arabic word meaning "blacksmith" or "fire-worshiper." Nawar are found in Egypt as well as in the Middle East.

Xoraxa (or Xorax, Xoraxane) These Dom are sometimes known as Muslim Gypsies and reported to be present in Algeria as well as in parts of the Balkans. They are also described as "Middle Eastern Roma," "Turkish Gypsies" and "Arabic Gypsies."

Algeria: It is reported that there are 2,500 Xoraxa (or, Xorax) in Algeria. Another source speaks of Afrikaya Gypsies in Algeria but nothing additional can be found concerning this group. Given the country's historical ties to France, it is wondered whether or not there might be Manouche or French Gypsies also located in Algeria.

An article in the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society in 1952/5/ relates a story which places Gypsies in Algiers, Algeria in the early 1800s. Though they were identified as "Gitanos," there is no evidence that they were Romanies from Spain.

Chad: One source identifies Chad as having a Halebi population. No other source has been found to substantiate their presence there.

Egypt: The population of the Haleb or Nawar of Egypt is listed in the range of 864,000 to 1,067,000. Van de Pijpekamp adds Ghagar (or Nagara) to the list of Dom in Egypt.

According to the Ethnologue there are 1,080,000 Muslim Gypsies in Egypt, or 2% of the population, including 864,000 Halebi, 216,000 Ghagar (1993 Johnstone). The Ghagar live mainly in Dakahlia Governorate, north of Cairo.

Libya: After Egypt with more than one million, Libya is the country of North Africa with the largest Dom population. Most sources give a figure of approximately 33,000 Haleb or Nawar living in that country. Little is known about this group though one source says that they are Domari speaking but using a large number of Arabic loan words. Van de Pijpekamp also includes Libya as a place of Halebi and Ghagar (or Nagara) populations.

It is reported that many of these Haleb live in northwestern part of the country, thus giving rise to the idea that some might have migrated to Tunisia. A survey of this group and area is needed.

Morocco: Xoraxane or Muslim Gypsies have been reported in Morocco.

It is suspected that Kalo (or Calo) Gypsies from Spain have migrated to Morocco for business reasons. However no government statistics can substantiate this supposition. Similarly, it may be true that French speaking Gypsies or Manouche may have in the past or still today traveled and worked in Morocco but there is no evidence of this at the moment.

Sudan: An article from the Library of Congress in Washington DC identifies Halebi Gypsies as living in Sudan. They are described as "semi-nomads" and living near villages while they worked as smiths.

Examination of the Ethnologue (13th edition) database has revealed no population figures for Dom in the Sudan though Van de Pijpekamp speaks of the presence of Haleb there. A Dom Research Center field survey in Egypt also reported testimony of Haleb in Sudan.

Tunisia: Xoraxane or Muslim Gypsies have been reported in Morocco.

Due to a common border, it has been speculated that the Haleb of northwestern Libya may have migrated to Tunisia or at least travel and trade there. No hard evidence of this has as yet been uncovered. Also as for Algeria and Morocco, close proximity and linguistic (Francophone) ties to France created a climate favorable to Manouche immigration.

Note: According to information in the Ethnologue, Dom are also found in Afghanistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Syria, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.

FREE Parking Downtown for Shoppers

From December 3-22, 2018, people who want to shop downtown during the holiday season won’t have to put coins in parking meters. Thanks to a partnership with the City of Springfield and Downtown Springfield Inc., residents and visitors who choose to shop downtown can park for free Monday through Friday, 10 am – 5 pm, through December 22.

As a reminder, metered parking on Saturdays and Sundays is already free all year long– and parking is also free during every scheduled day of the Old Capitol Holiday Walks.

The area where shoppers can park for free during weekdays is at meters between 4th Street to 7th Street and Monroe Street to Washington Street. However, parking illegally or in unlawful areas including bus or loading zones, yellow curb, no parking, and accessible spaces is not allowed at any time.

Shoppers simply need to get a parking permit labeled “Shoppers” from one of the participating businesses listed below and put it on their car’s dashboard nearest the curb to enjoy this holiday parking perk. Merchants will date and sign the permit, which is only good for that day.

2009 D-League Draft Diary

2009 D-League Draft Diary
Nov 06, 2009, 09:43 am
Another year, another draft, another 4,000 words of nonsensical gibberish about a draft nobody could possibly predict, but which is always entertaining. Stick with me while I recap NBATVs draft coverage, make fun of commercials, and wander off on tangents you couldnt possibly be interested in. Its going to be exciting!

If youre really nice Ill even try and throw in a bit of analysis about the players, picks, teams, etc. But I mean REALLY nice  like flowers, chocolates and foot massage nice. After all, analysis is what we do here at DraftExpress. right?

6:50pm  Theres no way theres any pre-draft coverage this year, right? I mean, its not like they have their own channel that plays their own content and which they need to fill 24/7/365. Dutifully though, like the ignorant D-League fan I am, I flip over to NBATV hoping to catch a few tidbits on the return of uber-veteran Carlos Powell, or at least some hype surrounding Latavious Williams. Nope. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Its some sort of this week in the NBA retread with a spotlight on Joakim Noah. Literally dozens of fellow D-League fans around the nation sigh and roll their eyes.

6:59pm  Back to NBATV I realize theyre in the middle of Top 10 Plays of the Week, so I quickly rewind

6:57pm  Why are these things never in the right order? Is it that hard to evaluate what the cooler play is? For example, why is Brandon Roys pull up from just behind the arc ranked #7 and Gilbert Arenas half court shot at #8? That makes no sense.

In D-League news Shannon Browns put back dunk at #5 is SPECTACULAR. Im pretty sure his head is above the rim. True story: despite being absolutely ripped, Shannon Brown doesnt lift weights  he focuses almost solely on pushups. Thats right, a guy with a 45 inch vertical doesnt do leg exercises. Thats just unfair.

(A few years ago during the Showcase, DX super scout Jim Hlavac lovingly referred to him as a chucker. Probably due to the 20 field goal attempts he averaged per game  while coming off of the bench!)

7:00pm  Finally, we arrive at the NBATV studios and find our good buddy Rick Kamla and league president Dan Reed seated and ready to go. Kamla quickly informs us that were going to have a blast and if Dan Reeds reaction is anything to judge by then I believe him! (Not really.)

Reed tells us that historically 1 out of 5 D-Leaguers will end up on an NBA roster within a year. This seems not only unlikely, but patently absurd. Somebody really needs to proof-read their scripts and point out that he surely must be including summer league and training camp rosters.

I wonder who those players are from Albuquerque last year? Erie? Heck, the Anaheim Arsenal? Oh right, James White, thats about it though. Interestingly though the Anaheim A-List girls managed a ridiculous number of call-ups to teams such as the Lakers, Clippers and Chargers. Thats right, the cheerleaders outperformed the basketball team. No wonder they folded  err, uhh, moved to Springfield.

(By moved I of course mean got new owners, a new city, a new arena, a new team name, a new mascot, and new players. And just in case you were wondering, they also replaced the cheerleaders, so they dont even have that going for them anymore.)

7:03pm  In reference to the enhanced media presence planned for the season Dan Reed just said that he thinks it will be great for the millions of fans out there who really want to follow the NBA Development League. Umm no comment.

7:07pm  Single affiliation partnerships. Where to begin? Of course the league is promoting this as a win-win. The NBA teams get to control who the teams pick, what kind of system they run, who they trade, who they waive, etc. And the local team gets? Someone pulling their strings? Controlling their operations from a distance? Making basketball decisions that are bad business decisions? Reaping all of the benefits of having a minor league team without any of the financial risks?

For example, the Rockets, who now control the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, have absolutely no incentive to draft a player who makes the Vipers a better team. Their only real interest is making the Rockets a better team. Drafting a multi-year veteran contributor who could help lead a team to the D-League playoffs, but will never make an NBA roster, doesnt help them in the least. Drafting a project player with few skills and potential upside, and then painfully playing him 35 minutes a game in your system to try and whip him into call-up shape, seems much more likely to me. The NBA teams win, the D-League teams lose, and most importantly, the fans get the shaft.

(For those of you scoring at home, instead of a win-win thats a win-lose-shaft.)

7:08pm  First commercial: NBA2k 10. Okay, thats pretty legit. Second commercial though? Heel-Tastic! In all seriousness, how many people watching this show have heels so dry theyre embarrassed to wear sandals? Clearly more than I think there is, thats for sure.

Side note: I love these kinds of lines: Call now and get Heel-Tastic for just $20! But order now and well cut the price to just $10! But you just said that right now its $20? How can now mean two different things? Im trapped in some sort of NBATV/D-League multi-dimensional timewarp thingy.

Ya know, my heels are a bit dry I think Ill hold out until the now where its free.

7:10pm  A quick package about former Development League success stories leads us to one of my favorites that the league brings up constantly in Jordan Farmar. The dude played 3 games! 3! Were grasping at straws here people!

7:11pm  Back to the studio and Chris Alpert has magically replaced Dan Reed at the NBATV Desk of Content Filler. A fun game if you have 10 minutes is to try and figure out Alperts full job title. Because youve already wasted 11 minutes just getting to this point Ill go ahead and save you the trouble:

Chris Alpert, National Basketball Association Development League Vice President of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel

AKA Chris Aplert, NBADLVPBOPP for short.

(Ive heard insider talk that every year he stays in the league they reward him by tacking on another word to his title.)

7:13pm  In preparation for the first pick they quickly cut to a map of the United States and then zoom in to New Mexico and throw a Thunderbirds graphic over Albuquerque. Just in case you werent sure where it was. Dont worry, by the time they get to the Erie BayHawks youll be thanking them.

What?! No way! Unpossible!

Im being entirely sarcastic of course. In his previous stint in the league he was selected #2 and went on to become an All-Star who put up 22/6/5. I think most experts pegged him to go first, even if he didnt necessarily fill any holes the T-Birds have.

Fun fact: Carlos real name is Ricardo Auturo Powell.

7:16pm  You get a vibe from the John Coffino interview that theyre planning on playing him at the 4 with Kevin Pittsnogle at the 5. If thats the case then who rebounds? Keith McLeod? You have to think with their second round pick theyre going to go big regardless of whos on the board.

7:18pm  The Erie BayHawks need backcourt help and decide on Donell Taylor. He spent a couple of years as a backup for the Wizards (Washington, not Dakota) and certainly has NBA height at 66, plus he averaged 13ppg for Egaleo in Greece last year. Both the NBA and ourselves have him ranked fairly high, although that seems to be based mostly on his time in Europe and not during his alleged stint on the Spurs summer league team that I dont remember him being on.

Alpert loves him though, so consider me sold.

Fun fact: Donell Taylor has a twin brother named Ronell Taylor who also played in the D-League. You cant make this stuff up.

7:20pm  Im absolutely elated to see that in a full year since the 2008 draft they havent managed to shake the awning commercials. But where in the world is Better Basketball?!

7:22pm  Earlier today, sources say, the Los Angeles D-Fenders traded Earl Barron to Iowa for Anthony Tolliver and then promptly flipped him to another undisclosed team in a 3-way deal that should be announced later on today. Even still, the D-Fenders have the most complete team based on returning and allocated players, and because the Lakers arent too concerned about how many games they win (see the Rockets/Vipers discussion above and multiply it by 10) theyre able to take a free pass on a player with a lot of upside, so they choose Deron Washington. I dont know about upside, but the guy certainly has ups. DX Godfather Jonathan Givony proclaimed him to be the heir to James Whites D-League Dunk Contest throne. Thats a lot of pressure. Itll be interesting to see what a year of working with Rasheed Hazzard does for the rest of his game.

Speaking of dunk contests, Im actually more excited this year about the D-Leagues Dunk Contest and All-Star game than the NBAs. Why is that? Well theyre hosting the NBAs events at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, which is absolutely massive and will probably be at least half empty, whereas the D-League stuff will be in a smaller and more intimate arena that the fans can really get involved in and interact with the players.

Now that I think about it, that sounds pretty much like the PR spin that Reed and Alpert love to get caught up in. Were very excited to be playing on a tiny court with bleacher seats shoved into the corner of a convention center as opposed to in that brand new state-of-the-art $1.8 billion mega-stadium with a TV screen the size of Rhode Island.

Im starting to scare myself.

7:26pm  The fourth pick in the draft falls to the Bakersfield Jam, whose only requirement for a successful draft is to ACTUALLY MAKE A PICK.

(You may recall the story of then-head coach Jim Harrick famously paying attention to the slightly delayed television coverage, and not to the league office conference call, and then standing idly by as the Jams first round pick came and went. An infuriated Harrick unleashed a tirade over the phone, eventually getting his revenge against them by spending the rest of the season collecting a paycheck, playing golf, and leaving poor Sean Rooks to do all of the work.)

Anywho the Jam select Amara Sy. This is a very interesting guy for the league in that hes been an overseas professional his entire career. At 28 years old, if hes successful in his route to the NBA via the D-League it could open the floodgates for other European veterans.

The real question though is whether or not Sy will quickly get bored in Bakersfield and fall back to a cushy $300k contract in Europe.

Draft Grade Based on Just Making a Pick: A+

7:28pm  In what must be an homage to last year, poor Rick Kamla starts discussing Utah Flash owner Brandt Andersen and getting ready to dig into detail just as the camera pulls out and switches to the going-to-commercials graphics. Rick, like the true pro that he is, quickly rips through his spiel and throws us to the break. Fist bump Kamla, nicely done.

Top fist-bumpers associated with the D-League:

1) Rick Kamla  the dude is a fist-bumping legend.
2) Shawn Respert  so smooth you might not even know it happened.
3) Da Bull  when hes not dunking in the middle of a Toros game, hes always up for some knucks.
4) Reggie Geary  the Arsenal didnt win a whole lot when he was coaching, but when they did he could pound fists with the best of them.
5) Mike Schmidt  at the top for possibly the most awkward fist bumps in the history of the D-League. If youre in Iowa for a game this year be sure to seek him out and get a taste for yourself. You wont be disappointed.

7:29pm  The Fertilizer Mulch Cocoon in the Patch Perfect commercial is just well inappropriate. You really have to see it for yourself.

7:31pm  Coming back to the studio we find out that the Utah Flash are picking Garret Siler out of D2 Augusta State. Last I checked in with the seven foot Siler he was weighing it at 300lbs, though rumors are hes slimed down to 280. That can only benefit him as hes slow off his feet and cant guard anyone outside of the paint. That said, the guy did shoot 79% in college so, theres that.

With a smirk on his face Alpert points out that Mark Madsen is now a coach in Utah. [Insert dancing joke here.]

7:34pm  Alonzo Gee goes 6th to the Austin Toros. Gee barely played for the Spurs Summer League team this year, but I guess they liked what they saw. He has some skills, but hasnt really ever brought them together. His biggest weakness is three point shooting. And free throw shooting. Well, just shooting in general really. Usually a pre-requisite for a shooting guard/small forward, but in the D-League anything goes.

7:36pm  Heel-Tastic! Is this now the free one? Nope. Guess Ill wait for the next now.

(Since they have a Heel-Tastic that magically fixes heels do you think maybe they have an ACL-Tastic that Robert Swift can borrow for his knees?)

7:39pm  At #7 the Reno Bighorns grab Desmon Farmer who has proven his skills in the D-League time and time again. In his last stint he averaged just under 25ppg and could see time at both the 2 and 3 this season. At least until he gets called up. Or he gets fed up.

Currently the Reno Bighorns have two of my all time favorite D-Leaguers in Majic Dorsey and Mr. Boom Tho himself, Rod Benson. It remains to be seen, however, if they can score the coveted D-League Super Fun Times Trifecta by resurrecting Elton Brown from Germany for the upcoming season.

7:42pm  The first pick in history for the expansion Maine Red Claws. This is the type of thing that sets the tone for your franchise for decades to come. With this one pick they can define their destiny. What will it be Red Claws? Perennial mediocrity or everlasting glory?!

All right, that was a bit melodramatic. In the grand scheme of things this pick means nothing and dont let anybody tell you differently.

The Red Claws grab Paul Harris at #8 who, while a bit undersized, will probably a very solid contributor at the D-League level. Hes surrounded by similarly solid D-League veterans in Billy Thomas, Noel Felix and Will Blalock, and is the type of player that should thrive because of that. He also has plenty of experience working with Maine assistant coach Mike Procopio, the lead trainer at Tim Grovers gym the past few years.

The best part of this pick was Kamlas reaction to the Red Claws logo. Definitely a candidate for this years Fort Wayne Mad Ants Awesomest Expansion Franchise Logo trophy.

(What you gots Springfield Armor? You best step up if you wanna compete with the Red Claws, yo!)

7:48pm  The Iowa Energy have some European scouting heavyweights guiding their team this season and so it shouldnt come as too much of a shock that they select Italian first division leading scorer Rashad Anderson with the #9 pick. Hes an A contract scorer who comes with only a B contract salary and in a lot of ways that makes him a steal.

Kamla questions whether or not he has NBA range, to which I would say that even if he doesnt head coach Nick Nurse has a pill that will cure that.

7:52pm  The Mad Ants need a point guard and Im inclined to think theyll take Mustafa Shakur at #10, who is the best one on the board.

And my inclined was declined! They take Alade Aminu which I guess means theyre pretty happy heading into the season with Kyle McAlarney at the PG spot. Or theyre following the Dan Panaggio Draft Playbook strategy of pick all big men and worry about gaps later.

Aminu is a definite upside pick, but that upside is pretty high. Really needs to bulk up, so well have to wait quite a while though to see if it pans out for the Mad Ants.

7:54pm  Theres that Mulch Cocoon again yeah

7:57pm  Donnie Nelson, co-owner of the new Frisco, Texas franchise joins us on the phone. The most interesting thing about this franchise is that they have one of the foremost experts and basketball analysts in the entire D-League already living in Frisco and yet they havent even bothered to contact him. You would think that would have been at the top of their agenda. Guess not.

Donnie reminds us that theyve hired Nancy Lieberman as the first female coach in D-League history. The real story about this choice isnt that shes a she, its that shes a damn fine coach and, maybe more importantly, theyve hired her a full year out. Leadership and direction coming from a D-League franchise? Thats the real first. Well done, Frisco Fighters.

(Not big on Fighters, eh? Umm, Frisco Flames? Frisco Fang? Frisco Franchise? Firecrackers? Flamingos? Freebirds? Im out of ideas, but I think we all know its going to be the Frisco Flyers.)

Best part of the interview comes when we find out that Donnie Nelson researched Lieberman by reading up on her Wikipedia page.

8:02pm  Curtis Withers goes to the Dakota Wizards at #11. They needed a big for sure, and while Withers is undersized, he can provide some rebounding and maybe do just enough scoring to keep their inside-out game intact this season.

8:04pm  Alpert reminds folks at home that players as deep as the third and fourth rounds in the last years have produced players good enough to get called up to the NBA and that fans should be excited at the opportunity to draft a steal of a player who then ends up leaving them in the dust? A better plan might to draft a guy just good enough to NOT make the NBA.

(You think Im kidding, but this is the actual strategy of most D-League teams, which is why slotting these drafts is borderline impossible. He needs to be good, but not so good that he gets called up or leaves for Europe!)

8:05pm  The Rio Grande Valley Vipers are in a curious position with a lot of fringe intrigue players. Add to the mix new head coach Chris Finch (who a lot of folks speculate is already the best coach in the D-League without having had a game) and their team becomes even more interesting.

At #12 they decide on Antonio Anderson, who put up really well rounded numbers at Memphis while playing plus-defense en route to becoming conference player of the year. He cant shoot a lick, but does a decent job of getting to the basket. Despite that fact all of the highlights they show of him are of knocking down threes while playing pre-season for the Bobcats. Some cherry-picked highlights if Ive ever seen them. Hell probably be a solid contributor for the Vipers this season, but not much beyond that.

8:09pm  An ITT Tech commercial! Weve upgraded to middle-of-the-day Jerry Springer level advertising. Next year? As-seen-on-TV infomercials!

8:11pm  The Sioux Falls Skyforce nab Raymond Sykes at #13. I dont really know a lot about him other than hes supposedly a decent athlete for his size who should bring some energy to the court. Judging by Alperts recap he doesnt know a whole lot about him either. This seems like a massive reach at 13.

I think my favorite part about the Skyforce is that their affiliates are the Minnesota Timberwolves and wait for it the Miami Heat! Im not sure there are two more polar opposite places on the planet than Miami and Sioux Falls. But maybe Im just being too hard on Miami.

8:13pm  Whats up Springfield Armor? Or should I say Armour? All you could come up with for a logo is a fat dude in knights armor holding a basketball? What an incredible disappointment. The Maine Red Claws proudly hoist their FWMA Awesoment Expansion Franchise Logo trophy (presented by Heel-Tastic!) and then promptly fart in your general direction.

(The Anaheim Arsenal are rolling over in their graves.)

But wait! With #14 the Armor take JamesOn Curry, one of the best prospects in the entire draft! A guy who could have easily gone at #1! Redemption so soon? Well have to wait and see, but the success of this pick will probably have to wait until after the Showcase when we find out if Curry gets busted again for urinating in public. Seriously.

(Odds Kamla brings up the urinating in public issue? 5 to 1. Odds Alpert brings it up? 1,000,000,000,000,0-------- INFINITE NUMBER OVERLOAD! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! CANNOT COMPUTE!)

8:15pm  The penultimate pick at #15 belongs to the Idaho Stampede, who select Sundiata Gaines. Frankly this team has a lot of ground to make up. In addition to losing all of their good players, they lost head coach Bryan Gates and assistant coach Randy Livingston. Gaines is a player weve had high on our radar for a while now and itll be interesting to see how he fares after having a very solid year overseas playing for Italys Cantù. Stampede fans probably wont be too familiar with him, but I think hes going to be a pleasant surprise for them this year.

Meanwhile Kamla and Alpert wander off into a discussion about how the D-League Showcase is returning to Boise this year, and while I do agree that Boise is a great fit (the hotel is attached to the arena after all), it would be nice to go somewhere else. Though, in fairness, previous Showcases in Provo, Utah and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, have been marred by an obscene amount of snow. Heres a novel idea: why not host it somewhere warm? I know, where do I come up with stuff? Brilliant! LA or Austin would be perfect. They should really look into that.

While Armor head coach Dee Brown is being interviewed I cant help but notice on the ticker bar that JamesOn written without proper capitalization reads as Jameson. Like Jameson Whiskey. Or Jamison Brewer. Weird.

8:23pm  This is it! The finale! El fin! The last pick! ...of the first round. Sadly only the first round is aired on television, but I mean, can you blame them? I mean, seriously people, theres an All Access with Ahmad Rashad to be aired! I hear its a cant miss episode!

And the 16th pick is

Latavious Williams!

Easily the most interesting player in this draft for the simple reason that hes coming out of high school and will be eligible next year for the NBA draft. We did a bit of a write up on him the other day, so I wont repeat any of that, but suffice it to say every person in the D-League and NBA is going to be watching him keenly this season. Even more so than Amara Sy, a successful run by Williams could change the shape and meaning of the D-League for seasons to come.

Normally you would make the argument that he probably wont contribute that much to the Tulsa 66ers, but that you expect hell be playing his ass off to try and earn that big time paycheck come June. Ill also add, however, that this is exactly the type of pick I was talking about earlier when I mentioned teams like the Vipers, D-Fenders and Spurs being more interested in projects that will help their parent clubs than their NBADL counterparts. The 66ers are owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder and you can bet money that theyre going to at least make an attempt to groom him into their own personal perfect NBA draftee. Which means minutes, minutes, and more minutes, regardless of how well he plays.

8:27pm  After some slobbering wrap-up rhetoric about being innovators by President Reed, were out.

So that does it! If you managed to get this far though my draft diary youre probably a diehard D-League fan, a masochist, or my Mom.

(Hi, Mom!)

Stay tuned for another year of unbelievable D-League content!

Telephone:212-935-5333 (212-WELLFED)

Doctor Howard Shapiro

It has always been our contention that the secret to many problems which cause overweight and the regaining of lost pounds, is psychologically based. For this reason, we started our practice with a fully staffed psychology department to address patients’ needs. Consequently, we have experience unequaled in other facilities. We offer individual, family and counseling for couples.

Equipped with techniques that are on the cutting edge of today’s knowledge and with supportive testing and technology, our therapist is dedicated to helping patients find answers and supporting their weight goals.

Eating disorders are treated focusing on the psychological components of the problem. Dysfunctional family relationships and diet hysteria (being obsessed with the way one eats) contribute to the problem. We know this disorder must NOT be treated by diet alone, but focus on the psychological concerns which trigger the behavior. We also have therapy specifically addressed to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety and Phobia problems.

Self-Esteem Issues

In over thirty years of experience with patients who are overweight, we find many frequently suffer consequences of a pattern of dieting known as a Yo-Yo Syndrome. We have discovered that patients often suffer from a lack of self -esteem and assertiveness. Often, they have lost weight much too rapidly. But they are generally victimized by their own sense of failure to maintain their goals and by society’s prejudice. We have come to believe that patients can be given both support and education to change the way they think about themselves.
