[squarehead333]

"Analyse" ('Analysis') drawn by the Alsatian François Henninger and written by the London-born Frenchman Thomas Gosselin from their graphic novel about the body and the disintegration of meaning set during the the Cold War: Lutte des Corps et Chute des Classes (roughly 'Struggle of Bodies and Fall of Classes'), published by Jean-Christophe Menu's L'Apocalypse in 2013. I've translated it below:

I like your aristocratic body.

Your golf and polo player muscles which have never experienced the horrors of the factory.

Your ample movements. You look like someone accustomed to large rooms and high ceilings.

Your decent weight of someone who has never had to suffer from malnutrition.

Your milky dermis which lets the cyan furrows of your racy blood shine through.

The delicacy of your fingers which have never touched dirty dishwater.

I love Henninger's thin, scraggly line and Gosselin's matter-of-fact prose poetry ("cyan furrows of your racy blood" is especially good). This page, which essentially functions as a short story in itself, would feel right at home in a collection of Michael DeForge's, with its dry humour and wry social commentary.

Review 537: Dragon Lady

Written By: Sara Porkalob

Directed By: Andrew Russell

Simulcast By: League Of Livestream Theater

@thepublicpgh tinyurl.com/LOLST-Dragon-Lady

Ricky grew up in a housing project on the opposite side of the country from San Francisco where Porkalob grew up yet when the solo performer starts her “karaoke-position” (exposition via karaoke) it started feeling eerily familiar. Porkalob quotes in a preshow interview “This is what happens when you know who you’re making art for” (RnD paraphrase), Porkalob then went on to recount their very personal and very touching story about her grandmother and the rest of her family. Some things are as universal as the moon and stars in the sky. We see stories like these but it takes a unique person like Poraklob to take her personal story and make them shine.

L: Sara Porkalob R: Andrew K Russell

Solo performers have a very special place in our hearts because their performances can be run with clockwork precision. Porkalob can change characters with a single movement of a hand, the turn of a head, and a shift in their stance. Not only that but she is portraying a whole group of siblings at two different ages and we can still tell exactly which character is speaking and what time period we are in. To shift characters, times, and locations without missing a beat takes a high level of skill. To do all of that without a single change in costume and prop takes a very high level of mastery.

Russell was able to seamlessly dovetail his passion and skill in storytelling with Porkalob’s rich narrative. In solo work and storytelling, there are a lot of ways that directors can provide support. You might say that it takes a village to bring certain solo shows to life. Yet, ideally, the director’s work fades so invisibly into the background so that the audience doesn't know where the solo artist’s work stops and the director’s work begins. That’s how we have a sense that the staging, the reveal of the Grandmother’s picture at the end, and many of the design choices have Russell’s fingerprints on them yet we’ll never know unless Russell and Porkalob let us know. The work of a solo performance or storytelling director is not one of ego and recognition but nurturing and infrastructure.

L: Pete Irving C: Mickey Stylin R: Jimmy Austin

One of the more visible signs of support in the show was the shadowy Jazzmen behind the curtain. Three of the group “Hot Damn Scandal” these three musicians held it down and became a soft sonic bed for the story to lie in. We cannot imagine what this show would look like or sound like without this key element. You can tell Porkalob and Irving worked hand in hand to find a rich vibrant sound that was both modern and classic and knit the whole story together. This is a solo show that has the pure DNA of a musical.

Anyone who has listened to the great singers of the time knows what we mean when we say that sometimes the singer surpasses the song. We’ve heard “Ballin’ the Jack”, “Misty” or “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” a million times but there are those special voices out there that make them all feel so fresh and new. Family tales of trauma, poverty, and abuse are so universal that (sadly) they could be considered American standards. Yet a performer like Porkalob can come in and make these universal experiences flow through us like new water from a fresh stream. We will always be in awe of artists with that ability.

Off the grid

Daniel Moore

Over the course of a 15-hour tour of the most remote areas of northwestern India, we were shown various degrees of progress made to expand electricity to rural villages.

In Khedbrahma, villagers gathered in the one room schoolhouse, shown above, to meet with the Narottam Lalbhai Rural Development Fund, a nongovernmental organization working in the area to provide services to those living off the grid. Pockets of Khedbrahma have little or no access to electricity, and villagers live use kerosene or firewood for cooking, heating and light.

Elsewhere, in the rugged mountains of Ambaji, about 30 miles away from Khedbrahma, the government has provided for dwellings: one solar panel, five LED lights, an exhaust fan and a mobile phone charger. The government wants to bring electricity to every citizen by 2019, but many analysts believe that is an ambitious and expensive goal without the backing of private industry and a coordinated effort to streamline technology and attract financing.

Now is Nationwide Coming Out Working day, a working day for gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender men and women to rejoice who they are, and athletics are a large component of this party.

In the earlier calendar year, dozens of athletes and coaches came out as LGBTQ, along with men and women from other areas of activity this sort of as trainers, media or front business office staff members. They are from 31 athletics, from ice dancing to ice hockey and soccer (American) to soccer (around the globe).

Beneath are some of the athletes and coaches who came out in athletics due to the fact the previous Nationwide Coming Out Working day. Some of them have been out for the first time even though other people have been out in some potential but their sexual orientation just grew to become broadly recognized in the earlier calendar year. Click on their identify to read through far more about them.

At a rally last month, President Trump endorsed voter ID laws, saying this to the audience: “Only American citizens should vote in American elections. Which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else. You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card.”

Many jumped on the head-scratching line about groceries, but the more significant piece of the president’s speech may have been his unfounded implication that many noncitizens are voting. Trump’s comment is likely to add fuel to the long-running debate among citizens, elected officials, courts and researchers about the motivations behind and impact of voter ID laws. With some credible new evidence on these questions from political science — and the midterms fast approaching — it’s a good time to take stock of what we do and don’t know.

Estimating the effects of voter ID laws is a tricky business, but the most credible estimates suggest the laws’ turnout effects haven’t been large enough to swing many elections.

First, while voter ID laws are often discussed as a single class of laws, they differ in subtle but crucial ways. Different laws require different kinds of ID, for example. In Wisconsin and Virginia, only a photo ID will pass muster. In Ohio and Arizona, identification without a photo — like a utility bill — will suffice. States including Texas don’t allow student IDs, a policy that clearly hinders younger voters. Second, if voter ID laws reduce turnout, they are likely to do so both by preventing some people who show up at the polls from voting and by deterring others from showing up in the first place. While we can sometimes count the number of people who are turned away at the polls, we are left to infer the laws’ deterrent effects. Also, it’s difficult to untangle whether a given change in turnout was the result of the law itself or some other state-specific factor. Turnout was down in Wisconsin in 2016 relative to 2012, for instance, but was that because of the state’s voter ID law, or was it because of the absence of President Obama on the ballot, changes in mobilization by the political campaigns or other factors?

So, when we evaluate research on voter ID laws, it’s critical to assess the strength of the underlying research design. Summarizing a wide range of studies in a 2017 review, Benjamin Highton concluded that “a small number of studies have employed suitable research designs and generally find modest, if any, turnout effects of voter identification laws.”1 Some of the newest evidence reinforces that conclusion and uses high-quality administrative data that can address at least some of the problems that have bedeviled prior studies.

For example, Bernard Fraga and Michael Miller have a new working paper that examines Texas in 2014 and 2016. In 2014, Texas had a strict law that required voters to use specific forms of photo ID. In 2016, however, a federal court forced Texas to provide an alternative way to vote for those who showed up at the polling place lacking appropriate ID. As a result, voters in 2016 could file a “reasonable impediment declaration” and then vote after providing a different form of ID such as a utility bill or a birth certificate. Fraga and Miller collected those declarations and matched them to the Texas voter file, allowing them to characterize the group of more than 16,000 people who would have been prevented from voting under a strict voter ID law.

That’s a small slice of the electorate in a state in which nearly 9 million ballots were cast — though admittedly, this estimate is a lower bound: There were many voters who were unlikely to know about this alternative channel. But this research design is valuable because it enables individual-level characterizations of precisely who would be barred from voting under the strict policy in place in 2014. Which brings us to something else we can say confidently about voter ID laws:

Voter ID laws disproportionately disenfranchise minority communities.

Fraga and Miller found that black voters constituted 11.4 percent of those voting in Texas in 2016 with ID but 16.1 percent of those voting without ID, which shows clear evidence of a disparate racial impact. Likewise, Latino voters made up 19.8 percent of those voting with an ID but 20.7 percent of those voting without an ID. So even if voter ID laws haven’t swung election outcomes, they can deny thousands of people their right to vote — denials that fall disproportionately on black and Latino citizens. Whether voter ID laws swing elections is far from their only important consequence.

Those disparate impacts are clear from a second newly released study, too, which also used individual-level records to provide a more granular view of precisely who is affected by voter ID policies. In Michigan’s 2016 general election, voters who arrived at the polls without ID were able to vote after they signed an affidavit. Researchers Phoebe Henninger, Marc Meredith and Michael Morse2 collected these affidavits to identify a set of voters who would have been turned away under a stricter policy, like the laws in Georgia, Virginia and Wisconsin. By their calculation, about 28,000 voters — or 0.6 percent of 2016 Michigan voters — lacked photo identification.

Those 28,000 voters were more nonwhite and more Democratic than the Michigan electorate overall. Henninger and her co-authors estimated that nonwhite voters were between 2.5 and 6 times as likely as white voters to lack voter ID. And while Michigan doesn’t record partisan registration, the researchers’ model-based estimates suggest that more than 70 percent of those filing affidavits would be Democratic primary voters.

Older voters can be affected by voter ID laws, too.

In another study, this one published in 2017 by the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, I teamed up with Meredith, Morse, Sarah Smith and Jesse Yonder to estimate the effects of a policy change in Virginia between the 2013 gubernatorial election and the 2014 midterm election. Virgina went from a law that required identification but accepted IDs without photos to a law that demanded specific forms of photo ID.3 In 2014, there were just 474 provisional ballots cast statewide for lack of photo ID, which is a small fraction of the 2.19 million voters who voted in the election.4 So implementation matters: That muted impact may have been partly the product of a statewide mailer telling registered voters without driver’s licenses about the new law.

Still, the provisional ballots were more common in precincts where there were more voters without a driver’s license and more voters over 85. That makes sense: Those are places where fewer voters are likely to have the requisite photo ID. As Matt Barreto and his co-authors have found in multiple surveys, elderly voters — like black and Latino voters — are more likely to lack photo ID than the voting population overall. In fact, in the Virginia study, the share of voters in a precinct who were 85 or older was much more strongly associated with the percentage of provisional ballots cast by voters lacking ID than were other demographic factors, such as the share of voters who were black or Hispanic. That, in turn, leads to another observation about voter ID laws:

The long-term effects of voter ID laws are likely to differ from the short-term effects.

As Nicholas Valentino and Fabian Neuner found via survey data, voter ID laws are likely to produce a strong emotional response among Democrats and thus lead to a counter-mobilization that galvanizes them to vote, at least in the short term. But that may fade, along with the one-time effect of states informing voters about the laws as they are being phased in.

Over time, the partisan effects of voter ID laws have the potential to shift as well. Some age cohorts are reliably more Democratic or Republican than others. The silent generation, which has been pro-Republican relative to the generations before and after, is now filling the ranks of America’s oldest voters. As members of that GOP-leaning generation stop driving, they will be less likely to have photo IDs, and so more likely to be affected by voter ID laws. It’s plausible, then, that the partisan impacts of voter ID laws may shift to affect more GOP voters. The same would be true if the leanings of black or Hispanic voters shifted.

While the impact of these laws is debated, the intent is clear.

In 2012, a Republican legislative leader in Pennsylvania made headlines by saying that the state’s voter ID law — which was later overturned by the courts — was “gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.” But even when the law’s authors are more circumspect about their motivations, the evidence is clear: It’s Republican legislatures and legislators that tend to pass them. There’s also a racial dynamic: Seth McKee found that Republican legislators are more likely to back voter ID laws — and Democratic legislators less so — as their districts have more black voters. It’s also no accident that the states whose voter ID laws make headlines — Wisconsin, North Carolina, Virginia — are often swing states with diverse electorates.

It’s important, too, to underscore that Trump promoted voter ID laws for a reason: They tend to poll reasonably well, especially among Republicans. A 2016 AP-NORC poll found that 79 percent of those surveyed favored requiring all voters to provide photo ID, with Republicans especially supportive.

It’s certainly not a consensus, but the weight of recent research suggests that even if voter ID laws have limited effects on which party wins specific elections, they still affect tens of thousands of voters in larger states, particularly black, Latino, Democratic and elderly voters. And importantly, these laws’ long-term impacts may well differ from their immediate effects upon implementation. So as politicians, lawyers and social scientists continue to debate these laws, the very effects themselves are likely to change beneath our feet.

The Birthplace of Indian Industry

Daniel Moore

Carved into the jungles of northeastern India, and through the oppressive humidity and daily downpours of monsoon season, Tata Steel's production facility in Jamshedpur churns out roughly 10 million tons of steel each year.

Thousands of workers oversee various stages of purifying, pouring, shaping the molten metal lava before it is cooled and shipped by rail or truck, destined to become auto parts, pipelines, construction materials and other urban infrastructure.

And Jamshedpur, a city of just more than 1 million people — mid-sized by Indian standards — remains a company-owned town. Tata Steel maintains the homes, manages the local hospital, and is widening streets and planting trees. It owns several parks, sporting arenas and a zoo with leopards, monkeys and lions.​
