Making a full circle: cultural repatriation from museum collections
Repatriation refers to the return of artefacts or human remains from museum collections to the country or people of origin. These items or remains are generally regarded as essential to the identity, spiritual and cultural well-being of the requesting party. A large number of the indigenous art and cultural artefacts in museums have had a difficult and unsettled history. Many of these objects have now come under scrutiny by a postcolonial consciousness that regards their location in these places as inherently problematic. At the same time the claims of ownership by native communities are influenced by issues around the right of ownership, true owner identity, global capitalism and modern property law. This presentation will look at the history of collecting from non-European cultures, and its effects on the source communities from whom these objects were removed. It will also examine the resulting moral, ethical and practical dilemmas facing museums today and the arguments for and against retention of these disputed objects.

Колыма - родина нашего страха / Kolyma - Birthplace of Our Fear
Не знаю, как у вас, но всю свою жизнь я слышу от родителей: ну будь осторожен, ну не привлекай к себе лишнее внимание, не высовывайся – это очень опасно; и вообще мы простые люди – от нас ничего не зависит.
Мои родители – прекрасные люди, я безумно их люблю. Но они говорят все это десятилетиями - даже в тех ситуациях, где очевидно нарушается здравый смысл, где творится несправедливость и где мы точно правы.
Я всегда думал: откуда у старшего поколения этот страх, это стремление мазать все серой краской? Почему они боятся, что даже за минимальную смелость обязательно прилетит наказание? Моя гипотеза: этот страх зародился еще в прошлом веке и через поколения добрался до нас. Одно из мест, где этот страх появлялся, - Колыма.
Для максимального погружения мы проехали всю трассу Колыма. 2000 км тяжеленной дороги. 9 дней пути. И лютый, просто неправдоподобный мороз.
Как люди жили здесь тогда, во время репрессий? Как люди жили после? Как живут люди сейчас?
Все это нам было интересно и важно узнать нам. Все, что узнали, мы рассказываем вам.

Lincoln's Ghost Train | Behind the Haunting #007
In this live video we will dive deep into the paranormal claims and reports about the ghostly apparition of the entire train that was used to transport President Abraham Lincoln from Washington D.C. back to Springfield, Ill. a.k.a. Lincolns Ghost Train (1865).
There are varying accounts of spectral funeral train sightings (Lincolns Ghost Train) of the old Union silently traveling through the night. Those who have seen the vision report that they have seen a train car draped in black housing a casket surrounded by mourners guarded by skeletal remains dressed in blue uniforms. The smoke stacks billow and bells clang but not of this time and place. A popular version of this story is one that has been retold many times stemming from a quote in the Albany Evening Times. This version is taken from The Pittsburgh Press (1978).
The train (Lincolns Ghost Train) always appeared in Albany on April 27th, the anniversary of its first passing. Track walkers and section hands would sit along the railroad tracks in the early evening of the fateful day and wait for the ghost train to come into view. At midnight—always at midnight—the engine would emerge from the darkness, moving silently down the track with black crepe flowing from its sides and emitting faintly audible sounds of funeral music.
The phantom train (Lincolns Ghost Train) would glide over a black carpet that appeared to cover the tracks, while spectral solders in blue uniforms, of the Union army trotted along side it. As the apparition moved down the tracks, it would fade from view over some phantom horizon

Voices and Visions Of St. Louis: Past, Present, Future Keynote Panel
3/30/16
From the Civil War to the recent troubles in Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri is a city that has long been a site for conflict, division, and violence. It also has hosted an array of legal, political, social, and design experiments intended to transcend its contested present and past. With this forum, jointly mounted with the Sam Foxx School of Design at Washington University, we seek to stimulate a conversation about the city’s history and its present conditions, using methodologies and questions drawn from architecture, design, and planning as well as the arts, humanities and social sciences. The aim is to explore and debate issues of injustice, inequality, and racial exclusion in ways that have broader resonance for urban America and will open new terrains for constructive action. Topics include the history of modernist planning, the urban impacts of post-civil war politics and governance, the social and spatial correlates of racial exclusion, and the planning and design responses that have been proposed to counter these conditions.
Open to the public with a keynote on Wednesday evening and subsequent panels showcasing the perspectives of a wide array of actors and institutions who have made cities such as St. Louis what they are today; closing on Friday with an array of GSD-based exhibitions, projects, and presentations from GSD students and faculty.

The Creole Affair: The Slave Rebellion that Led the U.S. and Great Britain to the Brink of War
Author Arthur Downey discusses the most successful slave rebellion in American history. Held against their will aboard the Creole–a slave ship on its way from Richmond to New Orleans in 1841–the rebels seized control of the ship and changed course to the Bahamas. Because the Bahamas were subject to British rule of law, the slaves were eventually set free, and their presence on foreign soil sparked one of America's most contentious diplomatic battles with the United Kingdom. A book signing follows the program.

Insular Possessions: Imperial Legacies of 1898, Panel: The Indigenous Pacific
Panel: The Indigenous Pacific
Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio, University of Hawai'i
Christine DeLisle, University of Minnesota
Moderator: Dean Saranillio, NYU
The year 1898 has conventionally been regarded as the American “imperial moment,” when the United States acquired and occupied a number of island nations, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. One hundred twenty years after the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War, as well as the alleged annexation of Hawai‘i, what have been the legacies and ongoing effects of this “imperial archipelago”? How did the distinct but overlapping colonial practices of Spain and the United States shape social and cultural life? What has been the formal legal and political status of the Philippines, Guåhan (Guam), Cuba, Puerto Rico, Samoa, and Hawai‘i?

Joseph Papalia's Interview
Joseph Papalia is an official historian of the 509th Composite Group, the US Army Air Force unit created specifically for dropping atomic bombs. Papalia, who served in the Air Force in the 1950s, became interested in the 509th later in his life. He began attending 509th reunions, held annually, and became friends with many veterans of the group, as well as with other historians who focused on the unit. In this interview, he describes how the reunions have changed as the veterans have grown older or passed away, as well as how they view their role in the atomic bombings and their legacy. He also tells anecdotes about members of the unit, including Colonel Paul Tibbets and Captain Bob Lewis. He shares examples of the 509th memorabilia and artifacts that he has collected over the years.

Around Kansas - Fort Scott - Nov. 25, 2015
(Frank) And we're back. (Deb) It's almost turkey day. (Frank) So, yes. And well, I don't know if I should bring up the controversy over turkeys or not. I hope you got a turkey, cause you know there was a shortage. Maybe it's turkey day and maybe it's not for a lot of families. But, the whole idea of course is getting together with families and being thankful for the blessings that you've got. (Deb) And you know I think you should be thankful for all the wild turkeys we've got in Kansas. And by golly, you can go hunt one. (Frank) That's right. (Deb) We've got so many wild turkeys. (Frank) Ah, anyway. So we hope that you will have a very, very happy Thanksgiving. (Deb) Make friends with a hunter today. If you are missing a turkey for tomorrow. Make friends with a hunter. That's the plan. (Frank) Yea, bring back really old traditions. Get one. (Deb) May take a little tenderizing, but you know you'll be OK. (Frank) Anyway, we're gonna talk about a place called... (Deb) Fort Scott. (Frank) Fort Scott. So, it's located of course, in Kansas. (Deb) Of course, southeastern part of the state. Fort Scott is one of the oldest communities in the state. And the first weekend in December every year the National Historic Site at Fort Scott has a candlelight tour. That is one of the best events around the state. Now, get your tickets now. It maybe be too late already. But it's never too late to go see the fort. But you walk in and it's like scenes from whatever time they pick out. It's like you just walked into the middle of their lives and whatever era they decide to interpret. So this year, it's 1865. So 150 years ago. And it's of course, a beautiful site and...but let's just take a look at some more about Fort Scott. Built in 1842, Fort Scott was named for General Winfield Scott, hero of the Mexican War. It was located on the frontier, on the military road that connected Fort Leavenworth to Fort Gibson in present day Oklahoma. Fort Scott became one of a chain of forts intended to protect the new settlers from the Plains Indians, as well as to protect the Indians from the rapidly increasing number of settlers migrating from the eastern United States. The United States government had intended to reserve permanent Indian lands west of the Missouri River and had moved Eastern tribes to the central United States. This plan soon gave way, however, to the competition of settlers continuing to encroach on the Indian settlements. Fort Scott's most active days were between 1842 and 1853. Lack of materials and other setbacks delayed construction of the buildings and soldiers slept in tents. Aside from a few whiskey peddlers and prostitutes, few civilians lived at the fort. Officers had brought their personal slaves with them. Five miles East in Missouri was a grog shop that supplied soldiers, and quite a few courts-martial resulted from soldiers' going AWOL at the shop. The desertion rate from the fort was high. Boredom, irregular pay, and hatred for military life were poor incentives for loyalty. Hunting was a popular pastime; wolf chasing and duck hunting was the only way one officer could tolerate the place. The army deemed the post unnecessary and auctioned the buildings to civilians. It was put into service again during the Civil War and used
until 1873. The fort fell into disrepair until 1965 when the National Park Service stepped in with the money to make repairs. The current national historic site protects 20 historic structures, a parade ground, and five acres of restored Tallgrass Prairie, inside the city of Fort Scott.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
James Longstreet (January 8, 1821 – January 2, 1904) was one of the foremost Confederate generals of the American Civil War and the principal subordinate to General Robert E. Lee, who called him his Old War Horse. He served under Lee as a corps commander for many of the famous battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater, and briefly with Braxton Bragg in the Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater.
After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Longstreet served in the Mexican–American War. He was wounded in the thigh at the Battle of Chapultepec, and afterward married his first wife, Louise Garland. Throughout the 1850s, he served on frontier duty in the American Southwest. In June 1861, Longstreet resigned his U.S. Army commission and joined the Confederate Army. He commanded Confederate troops during an early victory at Blackburn's Ford in July and played a minor role at the First Battle of Bull Run.
Longstreet's talents as a general made significant contributions to several important Confederate victories, mostly in the Eastern Theater as one of Robert E. Lee's chief subordinates in the Army of Northern Virginia. He performed poorly at Seven Pines by accidentally marching his men down the wrong road, causing them to be late in arrival. He played an important role in the success of the Seven Days Battles in the summer of 1862. Longstreet led a devastating counterattack that routed the Union army at Second Bull Run in August. His men held their ground in defensive roles at Antietam and Fredericksburg. Longstreet's most controversial service was at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, where he openly disagreed with General Lee on the tactics to be employed and reluctantly supervised several attacks on Union forces, including the disastrous Pickett's Charge. Afterwards, Longstreet was, at his own request, sent to the Western Theater to fight under Braxton Bragg, where his troops launched a ferocious assault on the Union lines at Chickamauga, which carried the day. Afterwards, his performance in semiautonomous command during the Knoxville Campaign resulted in a Confederate defeat. Longstreet's tenure in the Western Theater was marred by his central role in numerous conflicts amongst important Confederate generals. Unhappy serving under Bragg, Longstreet and his men were sent back to Lee. He ably commanded troops during the Battle of the Wilderness in 1864, where he was seriously wounded by friendly fire. He later returned to the field, serving under Lee in the Siege of Petersburg and the Appomattox Campaign.
He enjoyed a successful post-war career working for the U.S. government as a diplomat, civil servant, and administrator. His conversion to the Republican Party and his cooperation with his old friend, President Ulysses S. Grant, as well as critical comments he wrote in his memoirs about General Lee's wartime performance, made him anathema to many of his former Confederate colleagues. His reputation in the South further suffered when he led African-American militia against the anti-Reconstruction White League at the Battle of Liberty Place in 1874. Authors of the Lost Cause movement focused on Longstreet's actions at Gettysburg as a primary reason for the Confederacy's loss ...
