Of what use is our attempt to assimilate if history repeats itself? Are we tying ourselves up in knots trying to be one of them when some bullies see us as “the other ”? By Gayathri Krithivas ... from Page 1 gayathri.krithivas@gmail.com The complexity of South Asians assimilating is different from that of other communities like the Koreans, Japanese or the Filipinos who came here as a The founding fathers envisioned a country that was based product of war or of post colonialism. Indians on the other hand came as on the principle that all men are equal under the law of the professionals, and later on as middle class workers in the tech sector. They try their land. Yet, time and time again, we have seen crimes being best to assimilate as quickly as possible, be it changing their accent or their clothing perpetrated on people of color and we hear or experience choices. While they try and assimilate, they still hold dear the customs and instances where we have been made to feel less than another traditions of their motherland. Unlike most other races that immigrated to USA, because of who we are. And today, we are hearing the same Indians predominantly keep their native names and practice their traditions. But refrain coming from the highest level of office targeted when race baiting or hate mongering towards them takes place, as with the towards people of other races. Dotbusters in New Jersey and post September 11, the response from the community was one of fear and seclusion at first and later activism in the form of Merriam Webster defines race baiting as the making of verbal attacks against education and outreach. Many Indian women refused to wear their traditional members of a racial group. While the current baiting is not specifically targeted at clothes or wear their customary bindi thinking that by forgoing an integral part of those of Indian origin, who is to say it won't trigger a backlash from an insecure or their identity somehow will make them look more American. disgruntled bigot? And if it does, how are we going to react as minority group? Lets go back in time to see what we South Asians did when faced with hate crimes. Why do we feel compelled to forgo our identity? What if we stood up for who we are like a group of citizens in New Jersey who, frustrated with the inaction of the police In the mid to late eighties, Indians and Hindus in particular living in New Jersey began to fight back at the Dotbuster gang and drew attention to the hate crimes were the victims of hate crimes by the gang who called themselves “Dotbusters ”. It being perpetrated on their community? By asserting one's identity as one that paralyzed the Indian community as shops were vandalized, homes were looted and enriches the country rather than being ashamed of one's culture we can show the people were assaulted. Then, 9/11 happened and once again the refrain of“go back bullies and the race baiters that the country has its immigrants to thank for its to your country” gained momentum along with hate crimes. Soon after, a “humor ” prosperity. It also sends a message reminding the hate mongers that other than the piece appeared in Time magazine about Indians living in Edison, New Jersey. Take Native Americans, just about everyone else is an immigrant of some sort. a look at this excerpt on how in the name of humor, how a community was made to feel less American.

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

Kindred Healthcare is a sponsor of the American Stroke Association's Together to End Stroke Initiative. Patty: 00:15 Hello and welcome. This podcast is part of a series on key recommendations from the American Stroke Association guidelines for adult stroke, rehabilitation and recovery. Today we'll be talking in more detail about the rehabilitation program. My name is Patty Clements, and I'm with the communications team at the American Heart Association. I have with me Dr. Joel Stein. He is the Simon Baruch Professor and Chair of the Department of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and professor and chair of Rehabilitation Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. He's also chief of PM&R at New York Presbyterian Hospital and the vice chair of the American Heart Association Stroke Rehabilitation Guidelines Writing Group, Dr. Stein, welcome. Joel: 01:01 Thank you. Patty: 01:02 Dr. Stein, to get us started, let's talk about post-stroke rehabilitation. How prevalent is it? How many patients get it and how important is it? Joel: 01:10 Stroke is a very common problem still in the United States. There are estimates that about 800,000 people sustain a stroke each year. It turns out that about two-thirds of those individuals who survive a stroke require rehabilitation to some degree after their stroke. That can begin in the hospital setting and continue sometimes in a specialized rehabilitation facility and typically continues into the home environment as well.

COLD (COMFORT?) FOOD: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LAST MEAL RITUALS IN THE UNITED STATES SARAH L. GERWIG-MOORE1 Merceer University School of Law ANDREW DAVIES2 State University of New York at Albany SABRINA ATKINS3 Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz P. C ABSTRACT Last meals are a resilient ritual accompanying executions in the United States. Yet states vary considerably in the ways they administer last meals. This paper ex- plores the recent decision in Texas to abolish the tradition altogether. It seeks to understand, through consultation of historical and contemporary sources, what the ritual signifies. We then go on to analyze execution procedures in all 35 of the states that allowed executions in 2010, and show that last meal allowances are paradoxically at their most expansive in states traditionally associated with high rates of capital punishment (Texas now being the exception to that rule.) We con- clude with a discussion of the implications of last meal policies, their connections to state cultures, and the role that the last meal ritual continues to play in contem- porary execution procedures.

  • An Analysis of SEC and FINRA Enforcement Actions Against
    #CCOsGoingViral: An Analysis of SEC and FINRA Enforcement Actions Against Compliance Officers, Written for Millennials (and those who work with Millennials) (September 2016 to February 2017) By Brian L. Rubin and Amy Xu Introduction Millennials now constitute the largest portion of the American workforce, according to Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.1 The impact of the younger generation is felt, in particular, in the financial services industry as millennials begin to invest their accumulating wealth2 and transition to becoming decision-makers within the financial services sector.3 As such, it is critical that the risks and rewards of ensuring compliance with federal securities laws are explained in language that millennials understand. In an attempt to bridge the divide between securi- ties laws written in the 1930s and a population born between approximately the 1980s and 2000s,4 this article uses hashtags, Internet memes, catch phrases, and other pop culture references to analyze some of the cases that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Brian L. Rubin is Head of Litigation in Commission (SEC) and FINRA have brought against compliance the Washington, D.C. office of Eversheds- officers. Not to be bloviating blowhards,5 but this article may be Sutherland (US), and is the Administrative the thing that baby boomers (who are often organizing paper files) Partner in charge of the Securities Enforce- ment and Litigation Team.* need to decode the hashtag-filled jargon of millennials (who would rather tweet than call). Just as all citizens should stay #woke6 in an ever-changing world, Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) of broker-dealers (BDs) and investment advisers (IAs) must stay hip with enforcement trends as they carry out the momentous task of helping their firms comply with securities laws and regulations.

  • Name Pittsburgh Resident Action Comment Patrick Beckhorn
    Name Pittsburgh Action Comment Resident Patrick Beckhorn Yes Remove Columbus was a delusional racist slave owner who caused genocide, so why exalt him by erecting and protecting a large public monument to him? One would only do that if they were ignorant of history. Well, they might do it if they were ignorant of history, but they would also do it if they were a racist piece of shit... Rohit Kartan Yes Remove Emilia Farmerie-Rishel No Remove Ty Hinkle Yes Remove Karsen Shoger Yes Remove The Columbus statue glorifies the history of colonialism, which caused extreme amounts of harm to native peoples in America as well as the environment in America. It is time to let go of these relics that glorify a destructive history, filled with violence and death, as many other cities across America are doing. Keeping the Columbus statue broadcasts a clear message exalting the history of lack of care for humanity of colonists and imperialists. If we want to stand by the ideals of equity and social justice, removing this symbol of inequity and harm from our city. Daniel Galvin Yes Remove The Christopher Columbus statue in Shenley Park should be immediately removed with all expediency - which is why the process of replacement or alternation, and accompanying delays, is unacceptable as well. The fact that it has remained there this long is an embarrassment to Pittsburgh, and an insult to the native people whose land this was for thousands of years. For native people - including friends of mine whose viewpoints I greatly value - this is tantamount to a statue of Hitler in a Jewish neighborhood, or a monument commemorating the cross-Atlantic slave trade being erected in a black neighborhood.
